The contest between Hong Lang and Jack Sparrow finally ended with Jack winning.
As the protagonist of the Caribbean world, Jack Sparrow does have extraordinary fighting power. But when it comes to his strength being far different from that of the adventurers, it is not that different.
The nine pirate kings themselves are not the most powerful existences in this mission world, and their value is mainly reflected through the three aspects of warships, sailors and the pirate kings themselves.
After the fight, Jack Sparrow was also deeply shocked by the strength shown by his opponent.
If Shen Yi's calculation based on head count made him somewhat dissatisfied before, now it seems that he is indeed qualified.
In essence, pirates are a profession that uses force to exchange for wealth. The professional characteristics make them respect and only respect the strong. Whoever has strong force is the boss, and the wealth gained can be divided more.
The way Hong Lang and others demonstrated their strength laid a foundation for the establishment of friendship between them, and also prepared them for the next step of negotiations. According to Shen Yi's estimation, if nothing unexpected happens, regardless of whether Jack Sparrow No matter how he tumbles, he can only harvest a fifth at most.
Jack Sparrow has no objection to the plan to attack Captain Sao Feng. He is eager to get the map of the end of the world. The problem is that he does not intend to take action on the issue of attacking the target, and Shen Yi does not need his help. The map of the end of the world Basically, there is no chance of him. If you want to get it, you can only wait until you enter the Shipwreck City and obtain other tokens in exchange.
This means that Shen Yi once again has the leverage to blackmail and manipulate the opponent, and the commission method is basically irreversible, unless there are any unexpected factors that affect everything. An hour later, the negotiations were basically completed, and the Black Pearl and the Broken Blade team headed towards the target area Let's go, we expect to arrive in one day.
Perhaps just because he wanted to know more about Shen Yi, Jack Sparrow then sent an invitation to Shen Yi and others to visit the Black Pearl, and Shen Yi happily accepted.
As soon as he set foot on the Black Pearl, a sailor staggered over and looked at Shen Yi with his big eyes wide open, then looked at Wen Wen behind him, and then shouted: "Hey, Captain, is this our trophy?" ?”
"Get out of here, you bastard, they are our guests!" Jack Sparrow kicked the drunk in front of him away, and then shouted at his crew: "Get out of here and get to work! We're leaving!"
"Where to go? Head!" someone asked lazily.
"Where the wealth gathers!" shouted Jack Sparrow.
The pirates who were still lazily lying on the ropes and could fall asleep quickly moved quickly, each one moving nimbly and walking as fast as flying. Jack Sparrow's method of encouraging his men was simple and crude but extremely effective.
Seeing that Jack was commanding his men, Shen Yi winked at Wen Wen, Wen Wen knew it, and said to Elizabeth: "Captain Jack is going to command his ship. Maybe Miss Elizabeth and Mr. Wilduna are willing to take us to visit the Black Pearl."
"I'm happy to accompany you." The couple replied at the same time.
The Black Pearl is a specially-built sailing ship adapted from a sloop. The ship's main sail is longitudinal, plus a bow jib, and is equipped with 32 24-pound guns. Among all ships, this light and fast The flexible sloop was most favored by pirates, mainly because it was the fastest at the time. After the Black Pearl was modified, its speed was further improved, reaching terrifying wind-like speeds. This is Shen Yi and others have seen it with their own eyes. As for its firepower, it may be far behind the Dauntless, but it is still much stronger than an ordinary pirate ship.
Unlike adventurers, pirates do not have bloody heraldry to store exquisite food, and it is impossible to bring everything in advance. Therefore, there is always a large amount of food and water on board, including bread, fresh water, and fresh fruits and vegetables, which are scarce. Resources and even a small amount of livestock are available, so the consequences are serious dirt, mess, and poor quality.
In fact, this was the most normal way of life at sea in the sixteenth century.
Sailors live a difficult life on the ship and have to do heavy manual labor every day. In addition, the only food suitable for long-term preservation at sea is probably alcohol - rum, beer, ale and mead are all easier to preserve than fresh water. In addition, , when drinking water, add a little rum to sterilize, so there is usually a large amount of rum on board, which also leads to the bad habit of alcoholism among sailors.
Along the way, Shen Yi and the others saw almost every sailor holding a bottle of wine in their hands.
Their whole bodies reeked of alcohol, they all spoke with loud tongues, and the cabin was full of stench. However, their ability to control the ship was extremely good. If we saw the Black Pearl rushing back and forth on the sea before, It will make everyone respect this ship and the person who controls it, so when you actually visit this ship, all the respect will not be lost.
Pirates are born to be a bunch of bad people, scum, with no discipline at all. When fighting, they are as ferocious as wolves. When not fighting, they are all the most ordinary drunks, smelling of alcohol, and... There is loud shouting, which is always the main theme of pirates.
Wen Wen couldn't help but cover her nose: "I once thought that the environment I was in was bad enough, but I didn't expect that the environment you were in was worse than mine. Miss Elizabeth, can you tell me what makes you endure this bad situation? Of the environment?”
For a woman, living with a group of smelly pirates is indeed an unimaginable torture.
Elizabeth's clear answer sounded: "It's hatred and ***, which allows me to endure all the unbearable things."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "So now that Lord Beckett is dead and the Dauntless no longer exists, what reason do you have to stay on the Black Pearl?"
Elizabeth replied proudly: "I like to be a pirate, and I enjoy the pleasure of plundering."
This answer stunned everyone.
Who would have thought that the brave, beautiful and sexy Elizabeth in the original plot would say such a thing.
Shen Yi thought for a while and then said: "I began to understand why Brigadier General Norrington lost you. Before he died, he thought Mr. Duna had robbed you, but this may be the real truth. Answer."
When she heard Norrington's name, Elizabeth was also stunned. She replied: "He is a good man, but we are not suitable. It is a pity that he should not join Becket."
"That was his own choice. He said that if he could not marry you, he would rather die by your sword. Unfortunately, he failed to realize his wish, and he eventually died in my hands." Shen Yi's lie letter He started talking, but quietly changed the topic to Norrington.
"Maybe that's his fate." Elizabeth sighed, she still had some feelings for Norrington.
"By the way, speaking of Brigadier General Norrington, I got something from him after I killed him. I thought you might be interested in taking a look."
Shen Yi said and took out the starlight necklace.
Seeing the necklace, Elizabeth was obviously surprised: "He still keeps the starlight necklace!"
Seeing Elizabeth's surprised face, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. There is no doubt that Elizabeth must know a lot about this necklace, perhaps including the method of unlocking the seal.
Shen Yi didn't intend to beat around the bush and said directly: "This is a very beautiful necklace, and it seems to have a very special function. Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to use its ability."
"It's sealed." Elizabeth saw the key to the problem at a glance. Her beautiful eyes fell on Shen Yi: "I think I understand why you mentioned him. Is it because of this necklace?"
Shen Yi smiled: "I don't mean to deny it, but you know it's the first time we've met and making a request from the beginning may make it difficult for you, so I have to try to be tactful."
"Then you are right, I can indeed lift the seal... after all, it was once worn around my neck, and it almost even belonged to me." Elizabeth replied.
Shen Yi let out a long sigh: "Can you tell me?"
Unexpectedly, Elizabeth's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and then she said: "How much is it worth? Is it enough to be a token of the Pirate King?"
Shen Yi was stunned.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Elizabeth would take advantage of the situation to demand a price.
If Elizabeth said she liked being a pirate before, Shen Yi wasn't touched too much, but now his feelings are obviously much deeper.
This is definitely not the Elizabeth that should be in that plot.
Ah, maybe this is in line with the real her.
As a woman in the 16th century, she dared to break her engagement, switch to the arms of another man, and join the sea as a pirate. This in itself required great courage and courage.
The city created a brand new Elizabeth, but this Elizabeth was more realistic than the original work. This made Shen Yi suddenly have a strange feeling...
But if she wanted to fight with herself just based on this, she was still far away, Shen Yi sneered in his heart.
He immediately made a helpless look: "You are really a good partner who knows how to choose the right time. Every effort is beneficial. I thought you were really grateful to me."
His eyes glanced at Wilduna aside intentionally or unintentionally.
Sure enough, Wilduna frowned with dissatisfaction: "Elizabeth, you don't have to do this. Don't forget that they killed Beckett and avenged you. You shouldn't take the opportunity to ask for a price."
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected, Bloody City did not change Verduna's temperament. He is still the young man with a chivalrous heart.
Of course, this is completely understandable. The reason why he is on the Black Pearl is partly because Jack Sparrow saved his life, partly because of his fiancée, and a very important reason is his father. The suspenders are still on the ghost ship. To save his father, he must rely on the power of Jack Sparrow.
From this point of view, a *** Wilduna is more in line with the real background.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi felt more and more weird in his heart - when arranging characters in Bloody City, they would actually consider the fit between the characters and the background, thereby modifying the character's personality. Is this too incredible?
There was no time to think more. After Elizabeth heard what Wilduna said, she defended: "I just hope to help Jack during their negotiation with Jack."
Wilduna said categorically: "What Jack needs is ***, what I want is my father, and what they want is Tia Doma's ***. Everyone has the same goal, but different purposes. This This is the prerequisite for everyone to cooperate sincerely. I don’t think Jack should have too much entanglement with them in terms of interests. If he doesn’t know how to give up some, he will never get what he really wants. In this matter, you There is no need to help him."
This statement made Shen Yi greatly admired.
Yes, everyone has what they want. It would be fatal to ignore big things for interests that are not important to you. Shen Yi saw this clearly and dared to lower the price to Jack so low. , and Verduna obviously also knows how to distinguish priorities.
After Wilduna's persuasion, Elizabeth finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll help you once. But I want to tell you, this necklace has two layers of seals. I can only help you unlock the first layer. The second layer is its own seal. Even if it's me or Nuo Ling, Even a sudden pause can't relieve it."
As she spoke, she took out a knife, pricked her finger, and dropped a few drops of blood on the star necklace.
It turns out that Elizabeth's blood is the basis for breaking the seal.
It's no wonder that Norrington loves Elizabeth deeply after all. For him, the owner of the necklace can only be Elizabeth, so the person who can lift the seal can only be her.
Sometimes things are so simple.
As Elizabeth's blood dripped, a halo emerged from the starlight necklace. The stars were dotted like a dazzling Milky Way. However, the halo of the Milky Way was still small. It only rotated a little in the center. Such a rotation was already dazzling. .
Putting the necklace back into Shen Yi's hand, Shen Yi heard a clear message:
"The first seal of the Starlight Necklace has been unlocked, and all skills are in a semi-open state. The skills included in the necklace can be used 1 times in each mission world."
