Chapter 5 Apprentice, Story(1/2)
"Nen (NEN)?"
The tense atmosphere on the deck had long since disappeared. Heather had changed into formal clothes again and was sitting leisurely in the captain's cabin chatting with Jack and others.
Jack pronounced the word in a roundabout way, obviously unable to understand its meaning.
"There's nothing wrong with calling it SENSE, but I prefer to call it NEN."
Heather took a sip from a cup of steaming black tea, crossed her legs and sat on the captain's (or commodore's) exclusive luxurious chair, and talked:
"This is an extraordinary ability that I learned from the local natives when I traveled to a certain place. You can think of it as a talent that everyone is born with. Ah, Governor Swan, Miss Elizabeth, please take a seat wherever you like."
The door to the captain's cabin opened, and Governor Swann and Elizabeth walked in one after another. Compared to the somewhat timid Governor Swann, Elizabeth found a chair and sat down unceremoniously. For some reason, she stubbornly believed that Heather was a
A gentleman with a better heart.
Robbery the Royal Navy warships? Didn’t they say, [Requisition]! Who is in a hurry? Besides, Heather didn’t kill anyone, and the sailors injured by him were all healed. Some of them even Chen
All chronic illnesses were cured.
What a kind gentleman.
Jack, who was sitting across the table, made a meaningless gesture: "In other words, Mr. Hai, do you think I have the qualifications to learn this ability?"
Heather raised her eyebrows slightly: "No, I'm just asking about your willingness to become my disciple, I'm not forcing it."
Norrington, who was sitting in the corner of the room, straightened his posture and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Heather, I would like to ask, what kind of effect does this so-called telekinesis ability have? The beetles that treat marine soldiers' injuries also belong to it.
Is it within the capabilities?”
"Isn't it enough to keep fit and stay young?"
Heather put the tea cup back on the table and shook her fingers: "If you can learn how to use your mind energy, you will naturally become immune to all diseases, and it won't be a problem to live to be a hundred years old."
Not only Norrington and Swann, but also Jack took a breath of cold air. In this eighteenth century, when the average life span was less than fifty years old, what did it mean to be one hundred years old?
And Elizabeth's eyes were even more sparkling, she heard "Youth Remains"! Which woman can resist such a temptation?
"Mr. Heather, do you think I have the potential to learn this ability?" Elizabeth asked eagerly.
Heather looked Elizabeth up and down, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when her eyes swept over the white cliffs of Dover. What a nice girl! It's a pity that it's too flat, too flat!
"Miss Elizabeth, regarding the qualifications for learning the ability to read, in fact, everyone has it."
Heather said gently: "But is it the same as taking fifty years to learn something? If you don't have enough talent, the learning process will become extremely dangerous."
"Dangerous? Are you saying that even learning this ability will bring danger to yourself?" Norrington was unwilling to let his sweetheart encounter any danger? He quickly helped Elizabeth to ask clearly.
Heather nodded slightly: "That's right. At the last moment of the learning process? As a person with telekinesis ability, I will pry the sperm holes in the apprentice's body to promote the intensification of the flow of telepathy in his body. If he cannot grasp the trick quickly, he can close the sperm holes on his own.
? Then the apprentice will lose all the life energy in his body? Then he will enter the end of death."
There was silence in the room? Especially Jack looked panicked. It's so dangerous and you still want me to learn?
"Learning the ability to read does not happen overnight? Even if I really want to teach someone, I have to slowly examine the person's physical aptitude. But, Jack? I think you are very suitable for learning the ability to read. What do you think, do you want to learn it?
"
Heather stood up and patted Jack's stiff shoulder: "Think about it, fifty years later the legend of Captain Jack Sparrow will still be circulating on the sea, forever galloping on the Caribbean Sea, going on adventures as he pleases,
Even a musketeer team composed of dozens of people can't catch you at all. Everyone who is lucky enough to see you will be amazed by your youthful appearance that has not changed in decades..."
"Forever...Captain Jack Sparrow!" Jack's eyes gradually lit up.
"That's right? Captain Jack Sparrow forever!" Heather's voice was like a bewitching devil whispering in Jack's ear: "Will anyone want to snatch the Black Pearl from you in the future? Sorry, they have to ask first.
Your fist. The Black Pearl will be together forever with the powerful and invincible Captain Jack Sparrow? Never be separated again."
I have to say? Heather's words hit home for Jack. There are only two things he loves most in his heart - [freedom of adventure] and [Black Pearl].
What if Hector Barbossa, who was the first officer of the Black Pearl, had a power as powerful as Heather when he launched a crew rebellion ten years ago? How could he lose his favorite ship and be exiled to a desert island?
"Uh... will the apprenticeship period be long?" Jack was a little moved.
"I believe with your qualifications? You can get started soon."
Heather patted Jack's shoulder again: "I'm optimistic about you."
Jack grinned, showing his big yellow teeth. He knew very well that this mysterious oriental man would not give him huge benefits for no reason, and he wanted to get even greater benefits from himself.
But according to Jack's character of taking things step by step, if the sky falls, will there be a taller person? The worst he can do is run away after learning the ability to read, just like he casually owed a bad debt to Davy Jones, the king of hell in the deep sea, thirteen years ago.
"From now on, your wishes will be my motivation, Master."
"Just call me Heather."
Heather smiled and took Jack's outstretched hand and shook it.
If there is anyone in the Pirates of the Caribbean world who can really learn telekinesis, Jack Sparrow, the absolute protagonist, must be the most qualified one. It is just right to use him as an experiment to see whether telekinesis can be used in different worlds.
"So, when you 'command' this Dreadnaught, do you plan to return to Port Royal? Or go somewhere else?"
The impatient Brigadier General Norrington interrupted the tender scene between Heather and Jack.
"I plan to travel around the world as an explorer and occasionally play a role as a pirate. I'm sure I need a good ship for this, right?"
Heather looked at Norrington strangely, as if the other party had asked a very stupid question: "If you say it's 'requisition', you can also understand it as 'plunder'. Well, all of you here, including the busy navy on the deck,
The soldiers must serve me as prisoners. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for me to control such a big ship by myself."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Heather, aren't you going to find Barbossa?"
Elizabeth's already fair face became even paler: "Will is still on the Black Pearl. If we don't save him..."
"Will? Who is it?"
Heather's voice was full of innocence: "Dear Miss Elizabeth, why do you think I would take this ship that already belongs to me and go all the way to find trouble with a notorious pirate gang that has no grudge against me? Especially
It’s these pirates who still possess the so-called immortality.”
Jack rolled his eyes and rushed to Heather before Elizabeth: "Tutor, I have a small suggestion. Can you please listen to it?"
"Oh, my dear apprentice, tell me."
Heather stroked her non-existent long beard, like a kind elder.
"That Will is certainly not worth mentioning." Jack held his orchid finger and walked around the small captain's room with small steps: "But my mentor, the Black Pearl is also in their hands!"
"Oh...Black Pearl." Heather seemed to suddenly realize.
"Yes, the Black Pearl!"
Jack hurriedly approached Heather: "Caribbean... no, the fastest ship in the world! With her, you can reach anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye. That despicable little Hector Barbossa
How can a human being be a match for you, mentor, and those four noble, elegant, spiritual insects? What’s more, Barbossa’s hiding place also contains countless gold and silver jewels that he has plundered over the past ten years. With this money, mentor, you
Your trip will be smoother and more comfortable, right?”
"Then what?"
"Then I volunteered myself, hoping to be the captain of the Black Pearl and join your fleet!"
Jack grinned excitedly and pointed at himself: "I am willing to hand over 15% of all plundered supplies for you and become a little captain under you! Do you think this is feasible, my respected mentor?"
"Shut up! Jack Sparrow, you shameless scoundrel! The Dauntless will never turn into a pirate ship!"
Norrington was furious, and regardless of Heather being right next to him, he immediately rushed to Jack, grabbed the latter's collar and yelled.
He finally understood that Heather had planned to turn the Dauntless, which was top-notch in terms of firepower and speed, into a pirate ship from the very beginning. And Jack Sparrow even planned to add the Black Pearl to Heather's command.
It turned into a powerful pirate fleet.
The Dauntless was a trust entrusted to him by the British Royal Navy, and it was also the flagship of his fleet, the pride of Port Royal! Norrington would rather the ship sink to the bottom of the sea than to turn it into a pirate ship.
Jack opened his hands towards Heather and shrugged, looking innocent.
"Mr. Norrington, this Dauntless is now my property. Only I can decide her ownership and future destiny."
Heather gently pinched the wrists of Norrington's hands that were holding Jack's collar. Norrington felt numb all over, and he involuntarily took a few steps backwards and hit the wooden wall with a 'thud' sound.
Ignoring Jack with an inciting smile on his face, Heather touched her chin and looked at Elizabeth: "...you have a little lover named William Turner on the Black Pearl?"
"Not a little lover..." Elizabeth's voice quickly trailed off, but then she thought, that's not right! I made an engagement with Norrington to save Will, and now he is no longer the captain of the Dauntless.
Why should you care about him!?
"Yes! Will is my sweetheart! He fell into Barbossa's hands to save me. I must save him!"
The girl made a brave declaration.
Next to her, Governor Swan felt his eyes darken. Oh my god, what kind of curse did that little blacksmith put on my daughter? Why did the rich daughter of the governor have to chase a blacksmith!
It’s not that Heather can’t understand this. Although her appearance is somewhat different from that in the movie, Elizabeth’s appearance vaguely resembles that of Keira Knightley. In the same way, other people are also slightly similar to their images in the movie. In this way
Thinking about it, what girl can refuse the elf prince version of blacksmith Will Turner?
But Brigadier Norrington's eyes are not dark, but green. Happiness comes and goes quickly. If this is a dream, please wake up from this nightmare as soon as possible!
Heather looked at the father and daughter leisurely:
"So, Miss Elizabeth, Governor Swan, if I rescue Mr. William Turner and destroy Barbossa's gang, what kind of reward can I get?"
"What kind of reward do you want?" Elizabeth asked directly before Governor Swan could bargain.
"Weapons, cannons, living supplies... I want everything I need to sail on the sea."
