Infinity through different life

Chapter 472 The key?Not required! ([-] in [-])
port royal.

Nearly a month has passed since Will and Elizabeth returned.

The pattering rain, accompanied by bursts of thunder, fell endlessly.

In such a gloomy weather, today's Elizabeth is in a very happy mood.

She was wearing a wedding dress, a wreath on her head, and holding a bouquet of flowers. Accompanied by her family, she came to the church.

Since the relationship with Will broke up, during this period of time, the relationship between the two of them has rapidly warmed up, and today is the day when the wedding will be held.

Before it was time for the wedding, and before Will arrived, she began to say her prayers.

However, what she was waiting for was not a wedding, but an unexpected upheaval.

A large number of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the church, occupied various passages and exits, and controlled all the guests.

Elizabeth finally realized something was wrong, threw away the flowers, and quickly ran to the church door.

At this moment, she saw a group of soldiers escorting Will, whose hands were shackled, into the room.

"Will." She rushed over, anxious and worried, "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Wearing a dress, Will looked at Elizabeth and said calmly, "You are so beautiful today."

"It is a bad omen for the groom to see the bride before the wedding." Elizabeth's eyes turned red.

"Get out of the way, let me go." Governor Swan finally arrived, and he looked at a man dressed as a general with his back to the crowd at the door, "Get your people out immediately, do you hear me?"

The man turned around and took off his cloak. After the soldier next to him took it, he said calmly: "Weatherby Swann, long time no see."

"Cutler Beckett?" Swan vaguely recognized the person coming.

"It's Lord Beckett now." Beckett emphasized his identity, and motioned for the soldiers who stopped Swan to let him in.

Swann ignored anything else, pointed at Will and said, "Whether you are a lord or not, you have no reason to arrest this gentleman."

"In fact, I have." Beckett looked indifferently, and motioned to the officer next to him, "Mr. Martha."

Martha took out a stack of documents and showed them to Beckett.

Beckett read from the first one: "I am authorized to arrest the criminal Will Turner."

After reading it, he handed the arrest warrant to Swan, who took it, glanced at it and said subconsciously: "But this one is for the arrest of Elizabeth Swan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Beckett just waited for this moment and said, "Really? It's really troublesome. It's my fault. Arrest her."

Swan was stunned, while Elizabeth said angrily: "What is the charge?"

"This is Wiltner's." Beckett ignored it, took the next one and handed it to Swan, and then picked up another one, "I have another one, which belongs to Mr. James Norrington, Is he here?"

"He resigned more than a month ago." Swan replied.

Beckett had taken over Port Royal's army, of course knowing that Norrington had disappeared, he sneered, "You know that's not what I'm asking."

"Lord Beckett, your question will not be answered." Will rushed to answer, reminding Swann and Elizabeth not to reveal Norrington's whereabouts.

Elizabeth, who was arrested, asked again: "We are under the jurisdiction of His Majesty the King's Governor in Port Royal. You have to explain clearly what our charges are?"

"The charges are..." Swan read according to the arrest warrant in his hand: "Conspiring to collude with pirates, causing the Intrepid to be stolen..."

"Slander, this is slander, we don't have it!" Elizabeth roared.

"It doesn't matter if you say it or not, otherwise why would the pirates let you back, and Mr. Will, you robbed the Intercept, but we all know it." Beckett sneered, approached Will and said: "Punishment for this , unfortunately the death penalty."

As if everything was in his hands, he looked at the two people who were silent, and suddenly said with a smile: "Of course, if you know a mysterious man named De Leon..."

Elizabeth and Will looked at each other and said in unison: "Captain?"

"You really know each other." Beckett walked up to Will, his tone slightly slower, "We can talk."

Soon, Elizabeth was taken away alone, while Will was taken to the castle hall that originally belonged to Norrington.

The wood burning in the fireplace is extra warm compared to the cold and wet outside.

A huge world map hung on the wall, and an officer was concentrating on drawing on the map with a paintbrush.

Beckett ordered someone to loosen the shackles on Will's hand, poured a glass of wine and handed it over, and issued an invitation: "The East India Company needs your services, I hope you can become our agent, and talk to De Leon deal."

Will didn't pick up the wine glass, and said, "But he and I are just acquaintances, not friends."

"At least you have dealt with each other. He let you and Elizabeth go." Beckett took out a document from the box on the table. The friendship of the East India Company, and if he accepts, you will be fully spared the penalty."

"You may not know what kind of strength he has. I don't think he will accept it." Will also didn't go to get a privateer license.

"Strength?" Beckett sneered, walked to the window, and looked at the sea, "The world is getting smaller and smaller, and there are fewer and fewer blank places on the map. Anyone who doesn't find their place in the new world will only die one."

"Even the gods are the same!"

He was silent for a few seconds, then added firmly.

With the exploration of the world, more than one or two pagan gods have been wiped out, and any existence has weaknesses, just like the example of the goddess of the sea being sealed by a group of mortal pirates.

Will walked up to him and asked, "You know him well?"

"We naturally have channels to understand." Beckett denied, "Maybe not more than you know, but there are also some information that you don't know."

"What information?" Will couldn't help asking.

Beckett smiled and said, "For example, his possible identity."

"What's the origin?" Will was even more curious.

"You don't need to know that." Beckett, "You are different from him. Remember, you and your fiancée will face hanging."

Will was silent for a moment, then said, "What if he doesn't accept it?"

"Then you go to Jack Sparrow, I hope you can bring back his compass."

Beckett glanced at Will, and changed the conditions in a blink of an eye.

Will frowned and said, "I don't think Jack would want to give me the compass."

"He will." Beckett smiled confidently: "You tell him, this is a reminder from Tia Doma, if he wants to be free."

"Tia Doma?" Will was more puzzled, "Who is this?"

"You don't need to know." Norrington patted Will on the shoulder, "I don't care what method you use to accomplish these two things, but as long as you complete any one, our deal will be considered closed, you and your fiancée , you can be exempted from punishment.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the spot, leaving Will with a dazed expression on his face.

on the sea.

The Black Pearl led the way, and after several days of sailing, they finally found an island with a white sandy beach.

"land!"

The crew showed excited expressions. They yearned for the sea, but if they sailed in the endless ocean for a long time, they would also yearn for land.

But in front of him is a deserted island, even if there are a few dilapidated buildings on it, there are no human beings, let alone women and fine wine.

Xu Jing was notified by Maria, went out of the cabin, asked someone to prepare a shovel, then waved the trident, rolled up Jack and other important people, and walked towards the island.

It was not the first time for the pirates to be swept up by the waves, and they all stopped panicking. After arriving on the island, they all looked at Jack excitedly.

They didn't know the heart of Davy Jones they were looking for, and they thought it was to dig for treasure.

Without saying a word, Jack started walking around with a compass in his hand.

Soon, he stopped and looked at a piece of ground in front of him.

"Here!" He turned around and greeted Xu Jing.

Xu Jing waved his hand and ordered: "Dig!"

As soon as the words fell, Gibbs and others couldn't wait to gather around the ground and started digging.

Bang!
Just digging down to a depth of half a meter, everyone heard a crisp collision sound.

"Treasure!"

Except for Xu Jing, Jack and Barbosa, the others swarmed up and picked them up with their hands.

"found it!"

They quickly lifted out a locked wooden box.

The wooden box has been buried in the sand all year round, and it has rotted a little.

Xu Jing walked forward with Jack and Barbossa. Without his instructions, Jack took the shovel from Gibbs' hand and stabbed it hard at the rusty lock.

when!
The lock fell directly to the ground.

He opened the wooden box, and everyone looked over eagerly, but after seeing it, they all sighed in disappointment.

The wooden box turned out to be letters, not the treasure they thought.

It wasn't until Jack opened the letter and pulled out a special treasure box with engraved patterns on it that it looked extraordinary at first glance, they let out a loud cheer again.

"Hush!" At this moment, Barbosa suddenly made a sound, signaling the pirates to be quiet, and then he leaned his ear in front of the box and listened for a while, and said to Xu Jing and Jack: "So you are looking for this thing, I didn't expect It really exists."

He had been kept in the dark until now, when he finally realized what was in the box.

"It seems that you have also heard of that legend." Xu Jing glanced at Barbossa unexpectedly, and then said to others: "This is not a treasure, stop thinking about it."

Gibbs and the others didn't quite believe it, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and they wouldn't give up until they saw what was inside.

"What the hell is in here?"

Some of them imitated Barbossa and put their ears in front of the box.

puff, puff...

There was a rhythmic beating sound inside the box.

"It still looks like a living thing? What's inside?"

"Small it open and see if you don't know."

Someone made a suggestion and looked towards Xu Jing.

"Small it." Xu Jing knew that they hadn't given up yet, "Whoever can smash it open, the contents inside will belong to him."

He has already sensed that there is a divine power covering the undead box. Although it is very weak, it is enough to protect the box from being broken open violently.

"Is it the seal imposed by Calypso?"

Thoughtful, Xu Jing picked up the letters in the wooden box and read them.

These letters were all written by Davy Jones to Calypso, representing his longing and love, buried with his heart.

He thought that Calypso had lied to him, but judging from the fact that Calypso had put a protective seal on the box, the other party might not have given his heart.

The Sea Goddess still doesn't know that she was sealed because Davy Jones told the Nine Pirate Kings about her weakness.

"interesting."

Xu Jing looked at the letter with relish. A mortal can be considered to have reached the pinnacle of life if he can fall in love with a goddess.

The pirates on the other end tried their best to open the undead box, but none of them succeeded.

It was obviously a non-metal box that didn't look solid, but even the sharpest long sword couldn't penetrate it at all.

"We still need to find the key!" Jack came to Xu Jing's side and said, "Davy Jones must be carrying this key with him every step of the way."

With Xu Jing pressing the formation, he was not afraid in his heart, he took out the compass on the spot, trying to find Davy Jones.

However, this time the compass lost its function, and the pointer kept turning.

Xu Jing glanced at it, and was puzzled in his heart. He clearly planted the spirit imprint on Bill Turner's expression, but at this moment he still couldn't sense it, as if the other party wasn't in this world at all.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he thought of a place—the end of the world: the devil prison!
"It must be hiding there."

He recalled the plot in the movie, that place is also called the land of the dead, under the abyss, it is a place where only dead souls can go.

As for the exact location, maybe the former Norwegian Sea Monster knew it, but Xu Jing really doesn't know it now.

Jack was looking at the compass with his eyes wide open. He didn't expect that Davy Jones would not be found. He even wondered if the compass was broken. He shook his hand vigorously, but the pointer was still moving.

"Davy Jones may have gone to the Devil's Prison." Xu Jing pressed on the compass and directly closed the lid.

"Magic Prison?" Jack frowned, "That's not a suitable place for us to go."

He obviously knew what the Devil's Prison represented. His father, Tig, was the only living existence among the previous generation of pirate kings, and now he was the guardian of the pirate code.

Therefore, Jack can be regarded as the second generation, and it is not surprising that he knows more secrets.

He looked at Xu Jing and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Bring over the box!"

Xu Jing said something to Barbossa who had been listening to them, and the latter immediately blasted away the group of pirates who were still working hard, and took back the box.

"Sir, there is something wrong with this box."

"Yes, don't even try to open it without a key."

Gibbs and the others still seemed a little unwilling, watching helplessly.

Xu Jing took the box and said with a smile to everyone, "The key? You don't need it."

While he was speaking, he tapped the box twice with his fingers, and there was only a soft click. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the box was easily opened.
