When the Intrepid slowly came to the side of the merchant ship, and Mr. Tang, who was standing at the bow of the ship, waved to him, William was confused.

He didn't know what the Dreadnought was doing here to find out what he was doing when he was so nervous.

Still, he took the rope that the Dreadnought recognized and climbed up to the dreadnought.

As soon as he got on board, he was attracted by the gold objects that could be found everywhere on the deck, and he didn't know which boring sailors decorated some of the gold objects that were not easy to stack on the deck, making the whole ship look extraordinarily luxurious.

"Mr. Turner, long time no see." Townsend didn't give William much time to look at the Dreadnought, and said directly: "We found something interesting in the midst of the storm, would you be interested in taking a look?" ”

"Of course, Mr. Tang." Puzzled, William followed Townsend into the cabin.

Then, he was attracted by the strange pattern of the stone box that sat on the table of the captain's room.

"Come closer, Mr. Turner." Townsend stood at the table and beckoned.

William walked over and saw Townsend gently push open the lid of the stone box, revealing the box full of gold coins.

Those coins were very different from the Gini coins, thicker and larger, with skulls inscribed.

"Pirate gold?" William exclaimed, and then his heart trembled, "These gold coins seem to be a little familiar..."

It had been too long, and his memory was a little blurry, and he couldn't help but reach out and want to take out a gold coin to look at it himself.

"I suggest you don't do that, Mr. Turner." Townsend took William's wrist and said, "According to Captain Sparrow, these gold coins carry a curse on them. ”

"Once you take it out of the stone box, you will be cursed with gold coins, and you will not be able to survive or die."

He said slowly, "I'm curious, Mr. Turner, do you know them?" ”

"I-" William opened his mouth, "I see, I once had such a gold coin... Right! This is the one my father once sent me, which Elizabeth took and stole at Port Royal! ”

He shuddered, "Where did they get it?" ”

"Isle of the Dead, Mr. Turner." Townsend said, "The treasure of the Black Pearl. ”

"We've got the treasure of the Black Pearl, and at the same time, these Aztec coins."

"At the moment, it appears that at least some of Captain Sparrow's statements have been confirmed." Townsend said, "Your father is indeed related to the Black Pearl. ”

"Aztec gold—" William chewed on the word, incredulous, "my father was really cursed and sunk to the bottom of the sea?" ”

"At least the curse is real, in fact, we caught three crew members of the Black Pearl, and they're not human anymore." Tang Sen waved his hand and said, "You'll have a chance to visit those three pirates next, but now I have more important things for you." ”

Tang Sen didn't wait for William to ask, and said: "It is rumored that if you want to lift the curse of the Aztec gold coins, you must get back all the gold coins you have taken, and sacrifice them with blood. A total of 882 pieces. ”

Townsenden paused for a moment and said, "Interestingly, I counted the number of gold coins in this stone box, and they were exactly 882. ”

William immediately reacted: "What does Mr. Tang mean, the one my father gave me is also here?" ”

"That's right, I don't think we need to care about what the theft of Port Royal had to do with the Black Pearl, and the important thing is that apparently the crew of the Black Pearl didn't lift the curse after collecting the Aztec gold."

"They still lack blood sacrifices." Out of trust in Townesend, William Turner did not doubt the veracity of Townessen's words at all, and automatically speculated based on the information given by Townsen: "If what the pirates said before is true, then what they lack is the blood of the crew member who was tied to the cannon and sank to the bottom of the sea." ”

"If that man is really my father, that is, what they lack is my blood."

"Mr. Turner is smart." Townsend praised.

"So, Mr. Tang wants to test with my blood, and if my blood can lift the curse of the gold coin, then it proves that my father is really the crew of the Black Pearl." William paused: "But, what does this mean to Mr. Tang?" Just to help me as a trainee blacksmith? ”

"Of course not only, Mr. Turner, I'm happy to help, but that's only in passing." Tang Sen said lightly, "Why do you think I'm so sure of the curse of the Aztec gold coins?" ”

He spread his hand, and a gold coin with a skull appeared in his hand: "You should be glad I stopped you just now, otherwise, you would have been one of the cursed by now." ”

"Best of all, I'm afraid you haven't realized it yet, the Black Pearl is not far from us."

"You mean the pirate ship? She's the Black Pearl? William had not yet reacted from the fact that Townsend had been cursed when he heard the news, and he was immediately terrified.

"I've hollowed out the Black Pearl's nest, that's normal, isn't it?" "I've seen the power of the undead on the Black Pearl, and we can't defeat them without lifting the curse. ”

"I see." William gritted his teeth and pulled out the saber he was carrying: "In order to lift Mr. Tang's curse, to defeat the Black Pearl, and to confirm my father's identity... What do I need to do? ”

"Don't be so nervous, one drop is enough." Tang Sen pointed to the stone box: "Don't be crooked." ”

William was not in the mood to respond to Townsend's joke at this time, he was ruthless, and his palm directly wiped the blade, and blood suddenly dripped out, dripping onto the gold coins in the stone box.

“......”

After waiting for a long time, he raised his head in confusion: "Mr. Tang, has your curse been lifted?" How do I feel as if nothing has changed? ”

"What change do you want?" Tang Sen was speechless, "Of course, the curse hasn't been lifted yet, and you're not the last one to need a blood sacrifice, Mr. Turner." ”

"I am."

The curse of the Aztec gold does not exist alone, even if Townsend and the people of the Black Pearl do not take the gold together, their curse is already closely linked, and the curse will only disappear when all the people who took the gold Aztec have completed the blood sacrifice ritual.

He casually pushed the lid of the stone box back into place and said, "Now, let's go and say hello to the pirates of the Black Pearl." ”

"If it goes well, this will be their last."
