Chapter 111 63. Pirate Riddler Get Out of the Caribbean! --【4650】
The Black Pearl was still anchored off Turtle Island. Mason left Zha Kang, Selina and the two new team members there to count the harvest. He and Kite Man left early and quickly found the mother and son with the help of the chart in his hand. A small island to hide in.
Elizabeth Swann and Henry Turner, the wife and only son of Will Turner, the current captain of the ghost ship The Flying Dutchman.
But even without this status, Ms. Elizabeth's reputation on this sea is very high.
Because this woman was elected as the "Pirate King" by the Second Pirate King Conference more than ten years ago, and led the pirates who were cornered by the royal fleet to the decisive battle with the British fleet in Shipwreck Bay, and miraculously 's won.
Although Elizabeth quickly quit the pirate circle and returned to her hometown to have children after that incident, even now more than ten years later, when the incident is brought up, it is still a topic that is talked about.
"唰"
The Kite Man stretched his wings and descended from the sky, landing on the beach of the island. Behind him, Mason, who was riding a flying motorcycle, was also landing unsteadily.
But unexpectedly, there was a gunshot, and the flying lead bullet hit Charles' V-shaped battle helmet, splashing sparks and hitting the Kite Man's head upwards.
Although he was protected from injury by his armor, Kite Man, whose mind was buzzing, still subconsciously grabbed the quasar gun on his waist that was given to him by his boss.
Pulling the trigger forward, the ultra-high rate of fire, which was not a pistol at all, poured out more than thirty rounds of bullets in one second, hitting the small wooden house in front of him with sawdust flying everywhere.
"Pa"
The fired pistol was lifted into the sky by Mason, and the young man was really shocked.
If Ms. Elizabeth was killed by a stray bullet while hiding in the wooden house, the Dutchman would have no way to explain it. Although Team K can run away even if it cannot defeat the ghost ship with its current strength, it is a very important partner after all.
"There's no one in that room, boss."
Kite Man rubbed his helmet and activated some kind of remote scanning mode on the helmet's goggles. He put away his powerful gun and said to Mason:
"This is a trap, that woman is really scheming!"
Mason frowned and stepped forward and found that there was indeed no one in the cabin. An exquisite flintlock gun was placed by the window with a rope tied to the trigger, and there was a vicious trap behind the door.
A secret passage on the floor of the house has been opened. It seems that the former pirate emperor has just escaped from here with his son.
"Bring them back, Charles."
Mason had no time to play hide-and-seek with the female pirate on this lush island. He gestured to the Kite Man and said:
"Try not to be so rude."
"Understood."
Charles grinned, and the propeller of the jetpack behind his back started to lift him into the air. When the black wings popped out, he flew down towards the woods in the center of the island.
A few minutes later, Charles flew back with a screaming and struggling boy.
He circled a few times and dropped the boy in hunter attire at Mason's feet. The boy pulled out the dagger from his boot and tried to resist. But the next moment, Mason took out Captain Will Turner's forging code and waved it in front of his eyes.
The note from his father made the boy's eyes immediately widen.
"It was your father who asked my team members to take you back. After that, you and your mother had to live under my protection for a long time.
So kid, I strongly suggest you calm down.
Give me the dagger. ”
Mason spoke slowly to the thin brown-haired child and stretched out his hand to him. The latter looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, but his eyes sparkled with maturity that was inconsistent with his age.
He also reached out to Mason, and when the latter sent his father's forging code, he handed over the dagger in his hand, completing an exchange.
Mason looked at the dagger in his hand. It was obviously a "toy" for children.
But the forging technique is so superb that a sea monster is carved on the handle. This is a sharp weapon rich in weak magic power.
It should be a gift made by Captain Turner to his son.
Little Henry didn't run away or make trouble. He glanced curiously at Mason, who was too young, and Charles, the kite man next to him who was wearing a mighty armor and could fly. Then he opened the note and looked at the words written by his father.
After more than ten minutes of peace and quiet, Elizabeth Swann, dressed as a pirate and wearing a three-cornered hat, finally came back from the forest.
This female pirate wears a sailor sword on her waist, two flintlock guns on her belt, and a finely crafted musket with a bayonet in her hand. She walks as fast as a jungle warrior, but has blond hair on her well-maintained face. Feiwu also confirmed her excellent bloodline.
Although he became a pirate king, he was indeed a big shot who always carried the Yingzhengmi flag. His ancestors were hereditary nobles who followed the conquering king into the country.
Her father also served as colonial governor.
In short, there is a perfect blend of nobility and wildness in every move. Although she has become a mother, she still retains her former charm. When Mason saw her, he was sure that this woman would become good friends with big sister Selena.
They are all the kind of beauties who turn heads 300% of the time when walking in the crowd.
"Henry! Come to mother!"
Elizabeth was not afraid of the two strangers. She took aim at Mason with the musket in her hand and shouted to her son, but little Henry waved the letter in his hand and quickly explained the identities of the two guests to his mother.
The former pirate king looked at them suspiciously until he personally identified his husband's handwritten notes and then felt a little relieved.
"Don't be so nervous, Mrs. Turner."
Mason waved his hands and said:
"The Dutchman is nearby. You can call your husband to verify my identity. You can call him, right? I guess he has been protecting you mother and son in the nearby waters these past few days."
"Henry, go play aside."
Elizabeth glanced at Mason, touched her son's head and said:
"Mom wants to talk to this uncle about something."
"Charles, little Henry is about the same age as your son. You might know how to take care of him."
Mason also told his younger brother:
"Take him over to play. I want to talk to Mrs. Turner and her husband about something."
"Uh, boss, your statement is weird."
Kite Man curled his lips, as if thinking of some inappropriate plot for children, and put a piece of "chewing gum" into Mason's hand with a weird smile. The captain looked at it with a confused look on his face.
Sometimes he really can't understand what bizarre thoughts are in the minds of his team members?
But before Mason could think about it, Kite Man picked up little Henry and turned on the propeller and flew into the sky, then soared to the other side of the island amidst the little boy's surprised screams.
"My name is Mason, Mason Cooper."
Mason took the initiative to reach out to the pirate wife in front of him. The latter picked up a fine musket and moved her hair. Instead of shaking hands, she stretched out her left hand towards Mason and said:
"My name is Elizabeth, Elizabeth Swan Turner."
"Okay."
The young man was embarrassed, gently held the finger of this elegant lady, leaned down and gave a standard kiss on the hand. This is the way of communication in line with this era.
"I did learn from Will that he prepared a way for Henry and I to escape the doomsday, but I didn't expect that it would be such a young man who made the agreement with him."
Elizabeth looked Mason up and down and said as she walked towards the beach:
"You are at most eighteen years old"
"Seventeen years old."
Mason corrected:
"But in our line of work, age is the least important thing. For example, when you were nineteen years old, didn't you go to sea with a group of pirates?
Compared to your story, I am a late bloomer. ”
"The young man is quite good at talking."
The pirate emperor let out a wife-sister laugh, took off his boots and stood barefoot on the beach, then took off a emblem from his slender and smooth neck and threw it into the sea water.
Just ten seconds later, the calm sea surface in front of him became turbulent, and a huge black shadow emerged from the water and rose from under the tide like a whale emerging from the water.
The tattered hull of the ship, which had been soaked and rotted in the water for a hundred years, resembled the "corpse" of some kind of marine creature, while the tattered pirate flag floating on the withered mast proved its origin.
A rusty inscription on the stern confirms the identity.
The Flying Dutchman!
The most famous, vicious and terrifying ghost warship on this sea, the ship of the dead that travels between the human world and the devil's prison to transport souls.
"Every time I meet Turner, Henry will not let him see it. My lover does not want his son to see his cursed appearance."
Seeing a bone-like boat being lowered from the ghost ship, Lady Elizabeth reached out and took off her three-cornered hat and whispered into the sea breeze:
"But I have a hunch that this may be the last time Will and I see each other, right? Mr. Mason."
"Who knows."
Mason stood on the edge of the sea-invaded beach and said:
"I also have little idea of the 'doomsday' your husband has been claiming. But if you follow my conception, you should be able to see each other again in the future, although you do have to take your children to live in another strange world.
But this will always be your hometown. ”
"My hometown disappeared when my father was assassinated and died by his colleagues."
The female pirate replied casually:
"Like other pirates, I call this sea my home, but I hope my children can stay away from this disaster world."
"I advise you not to commit suicide at the last moment to accompany your husband."
Mason whispered:
"The place your son is going to is a chaotic and dangerous city. Without the protection of a strong mother, he will not survive there for more than a month.
Or do you want your kids to grow up with jerks like Jack?
Aren't you afraid that your slovenly friend will lead him into trouble? ”
This sentence immediately had a miraculous effect, causing Elizabeth to loosen her fingers on the dagger at her waist.
She glared at this young man who was almost twenty years younger than her, and her impression of Mason also remained at the thought of a sharp-minded bastard.
A few minutes later, the skeleton boat docked, and the real Will Turner jumped out of the water and walked onto the beach step by step, but he could only stay where the water went and could not escape the scope of the sea.
Different from the handsome and handsome image that Mason met in his dream last time, although the Will Turner in front of him still maintained his human form, his body was covered with weird gray coral-like embellishments unique to marine life.
The cheeks and neck are also covered with white barnacles, and even octopus-like tentacles appear on the chin. His left hand holding the sword will transform into lobster-like pincers, while his right hand will shrink into a tentacle.
This gesture makes people feel cold.
Such was the price of taking command of the Flying Dutchman. He and his ship had become one with the ocean and were eternally cursed by the land.
"Elizabeth."
A low whimpering and muddy voice came from the mouth of the ghost captain in front of him. The female pirate stepped forward to hug him but was rejected by Will Turner.
He shook his head and said:
"It will be unfortunate to be close to me. My wife and lover, this distance is good. It allows me to see your face clearly and smell the fragrance of your long hair, and it will not extend the malice of the sea to you.
I heard Henry laugh.
It seems my son is getting along well with his new friends.
Mason"
Captain Turner turned to look at the young man, his gray and lifeless eyes making Mason feel as if his soul was being scrutinized.
"Take them out of this world and never come back again. I will give you the reward I promised."
Captain Ghost waved his hand.
Ten huge bronze boxes, covered with seaweed and barnacles and even with fish jumping on them, floated from the swirling water and were washed up on the beach by the tide.
Turner pointed at them and said:
"Unparalleled treasures from the bottomless abyss, the most desired gift of the sea for spellcasters, and treasures lost in treasure ships sunk in storms over the past countless years.
This is the most precious legacy you can find in this world.
I believe they are enough to pay for my wife and children to live a safe life in another world. ”
The young man nodded.
He was very discerning and did not interrupt the farewell conversation between Will Turner and Lady Elizabeth. He walked to a large box as high as his waist, reached out and pushed open the damp and rusty bronze cover.
What comes into view is a whole box of large round sky-blue pearls, which makes people feel happy.
Mason reached out and touched these pearls, and soon an information label popped up:
Heart of the Ice Sea
Quality: Epic Crafting Materials
Item effect: Any branch creation made with this item will be endowed with water element field magic effects such as [Freeze], [Slowdown] and [Bitter Cold].
This item is classified as "jewelry" and can be used for high-end jewelry processing.
This item is a magic energy source that can be used to charge ice energy creations. After the magic power is exhausted, placing it in sea water will automatically restore the magic power.
Item description: Obtaining such a high-quality Ice Heart means that at least ten abyss giant clams will die violently. If there is no trade, there will be no killing!
"Huh?"
Mason looked at the entry attribute of this precious thing in surprise. He took out Mr. Freeze's freezing gun from his bag and picked up a deep-sea pearl of suitable size and stuffed it into the "ammunition compartment" of the freezing gun.
There was supposed to be a place where freezing liquid was injected, but after this pearl, which exuded endless cold air, was put in, the freezing gun, which had been exhausted of energy, could actually be activated.
Of course, if you want to use this thing as "ammunition", Mason has to modify this freezing gun.
But this is indeed an unexpected surprise!
This box of pearls alone is enough for Mason to push the jewelry processing branch, which has been unable to find good materials, to at least level 4.
He put the box into his luggage and opened another slightly smaller box, which contained some strange things. It looked like a worn-out garbage dump.
The young man picked up a pirate telescope and looked at it:
Blackbeard's Golden Container
Quality: Excellent Enchantment/Inscription/Jewelry Processing Creation·Excellent Craftsmanship
Item effect: Open the gold hidden tube and observe the most valuable thing within the field of vision. This effect penetrates all obstructions.
Producer: Edward Teach
Item description: The most important thing to be a pirate is to have good eyesight!
"Interesting."
Mason played with the telescope in his hand and glanced at the dozens of similar items stacked in the box.
He knew that these must be magic items that Will Turner found from the bottom of the sea, and it was difficult for the ghost captain to find so many interesting things in this world of weak demons.
There is no need to look at the other boxes. If they are all of this quality, Mason will definitely make a fortune on this one.
He put several other boxes into the suitcase, estimated that the time was almost up, then walked forward, knelt down on one knee, and affectionately put a very simple white bone ring on Elizabeth's finger. Na said:
"Captain, I have one last question before we leave!"
He stared at Will Turner and said:
"What is this inescapable apocalypse you've been claiming? This time I have to get an answer. Stop fooling me with riddles."
"It's on its way and will be here soon."
The ghost captain kissed his wife's hand with his mouth that was parasitized by sea creatures. He said briefly:
"We're all going to see it, Mason, and I'm expecting it, and I'm ready for it, and I'm not going to turn around and run away like a coward.
Maybe you should make the same preparations in your world, or maybe you think you are strong enough to ignore all these threats.
But believe me, you should be more cautious in the face of such a situation. "(End of Chapter)
