Outlander's Journey

Chapter 88 Apprentice, Story

“The ability to read (NEN)?”

The tense atmosphere on the deck had long since disappeared, and Heather changed into a formal outfit again. At this time, he was sitting leisurely in the captain’s room and chatting with Jack and the others.

Jack uttered the word a little bit, obviously unable to understand the meaning.

“It’s okay to call it SENSE, but I prefer to call it NEN.”

Heather took a sip of a cup of hot black tea, and sat on the captain’s (or Commodore) exclusive seat with Erlang’s legs, and talked:

“This is the extraordinary ability that I learned from the local natives when I traveled somewhere. You can think of it as a talent that everyone is born with. Ah, Governor Swann, Miss Elizabeth, please sit down.”

The door of the captain’s room opened, and Governor Swann and Elizabeth walked in. Compared to Governor Swann, who was a little cowering, Elizabeth found a chair and sat down unceremoniously. For some reason, she stubbornly believed that Heather was a kinder gentleman.

Loot the Royal Marine battleship? Didn’t they say, [Expropriation]! Who is not in a hurry. Besides, Heather didn’t kill anyone. The seamen who were injured by him were also cured. Some of them even healed from chronic illnesses.

What a kind gentleman.

Sitting across the table, Jack made a meaningless gesture: “In other words, Mr. Hai, do you think I have the qualifications to learn this ability…?”

Heather raised his eyebrows slightly: “No, I’m just asking about your willingness to come into my door, don’t force it.”

Norrington, who was sitting in the corner of the room, was sitting upright, with a serious tone: “Mr. Heather, take the liberty to ask, what kind of effect does this so-called ability of thinking have? The beetle that treats injuries to marine soldiers also belongs to it. Is it within the scope of ability?”

“Isn’t that enough to keep fit and stay young?”

Heather put the teacup back on the table and shook his fingers: “If you can learn how to use Nian Qi, you will naturally become immune to all diseases, and it will not be a problem to live to be a hundred years old.”

Not only Norrington and Swann father and daughter, even Jack took a breath. In the eighteenth century where the average life expectancy was less than fifty years old, what does it mean to be one hundred years old?

And Elizabeth’s eyes shone brighter, but she heard [Permanent Youth]! Which woman can refuse such a temptation?

“Mr. Heather, do you think I have the potential to learn this ability?” Elizabeth asked impatiently.

Heather looked up and down at Elizabeth, and raised her eyebrows as she swept across the cliffs of the White Cliffs of Dover, what a nice girl, it’s a pity, it’s so peaceful!

“Miss Elizabeth, everyone has the qualifications to learn and read.”

Heather said gently: “But can it take a month to learn and fifty years to learn the same? If the talent is insufficient, 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 expose his sweetheart to any danger, so he hurried to help Elizabeth ask clearly.

Heather nodded slightly: “Yes. At the last juncture of the learning process, as a mindful person, I will pry the semen holes in the body for the apprentice, and cause the mind to flow out of the body intensified. If you can’t grasp the trick quickly, close the semen holes by yourself. , Then the apprentice will lose all the life energy in his body, and he will die.”

The room was silent, especially Jack looked flustered, so dangerous you still let me learn?

“The study of reading ability is not done in one go. 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 reading ability. How about, do you want to learn? ”

Heather stood up and patted Jack’s stiff shoulders: “Think about it, fifty years later, the legend of Captain Jack Sparrow still circulates in the sea, galloping on the Caribbean Sea forever, and rushing for adventures as he pleases. Even a musket team composed of dozens of people can’t catch you at all. Everyone who has the honor to meet you will marvel at your youthful appearance that has not changed in decades…”

“Forever… Captain Jack Sparrow!” Jack’s eyes gradually lit up.

“Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow forever!” Heather’s voice seemed to be a bewitching devil whispering in Jack’s ear: “Someone wants to snatch the Black Pearl from you in the future? Sorry, they have to ask first. Your fist. The Black Pearl will be with the powerful and invincible Captain Jack Sparrow forever, and will never be separated.”

I have to say that Heather’s words hit Jack’s key point. There are only two things he loves most-[Adventure Freely] and [Black Pearl].

If Hector Barbosa, who was the chief officer of the Black Pearl ten years ago, had a powerful force like Heather when he launched a crew rebellion, how could he lose his favorite ship and be exiled to a desert island?

“Uh…will the apprenticeship be very long?” Jack moved a little.

“I believe that with your qualifications, you will be able to get started soon.”

Heather patted Jack on the shoulder again: “I am optimistic about you.”Jack grinned, showing his big yellow teeth. He knew very well that this mysterious orientalist would certainly not give him great benefits for no reason, and he wanted to take even greater benefits from himself.

But according to Jack’s character of taking one step at a time, the sky fell and there was a taller top. After he learned the ability to read, he would run away, just like the bad debt he owed David Jones, the deep sea king, thirteen years ago.

“Your wishes will be my motivation from now on, Master.”

“Just call me Heather.”

Heather smiled and shook Jack’s outstretched hand.

If anyone in the Pirates of the Caribbean can learn to read, Jack Sparrow, the absolute protagonist, must be the most qualified one. It’s just to use him as an experiment to see if the mindfulness can be used in different worlds.

“Then, you’requisitioned’ the Intrepid, are you planning to return to Port Royal? Or go somewhere else?”

The impatient Norrington Commodore interrupted the warmth scene between Heather and Jack.

“I plan to travel the world as an explorer and occasionally be a pirate. Is it for sure that I need a good ship for this?”

Heather looked at Norrington strangely, as if the other party had asked a very stupid question: “Say it is’requisition’, you can also understand it as’looting.’ Well, all of you here include the busy Marine on deck. The soldiers must serve me as prisoners. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for me to control such a large ship by myself.”

“Wait a minute, Mr. Heather, are you not going to find Barbosa?”

Elizabeth’s pale face became paler: “Will is still on the Black Pearl, if you don’t save him…”

“Will? Who?”

Heather’s voice was full of innocence: “Dear Miss Elizabeth, why do you think I want to take this ship that already belongs to me and go all the way to trouble with a group of notorious pirates who have no hatred against me? Especially? It is this group of pirates who still have the so-called immortality.”

Jack’s eyes rolled, and he rushed to a step ahead of Elizabeth. Kabuto went to Heather: “Teacher, I have a small suggestion. Could you please listen to it?”

“Oh, my dear apprentice, speak up.”

Heather stroked the non-existent long beard, like a kind elder.

“That Will is of course not worth mentioning.” Jack held the orchid and pointed small steps in the small captain’s room. Kabuto circled: “But, my mentor, the Black Pearl is also in their hands!”

“Oh… the Black Pearl.” Heather seemed to realize it suddenly.

“Yes, the Black Pearl!”

Jack hurriedly moved in front of Heather: “The Caribbean…no, the fastest ship in the world! With her, you can reach anywhere in the world in a blink of an eye. Hector Barbosa’s mean little How can people be the mentor of you and the four noble and elegant divine worms? What’s more, the hiding place of Barbosa still contains the countless gold and silver jewels that he has plundered over the past ten years. With this money, mentor you Travel will be smoother and more comfortable, right?”

“Then what?”

“Then I nominated myself, hoping to be the captain of the Black Pearl and join your fleet!”

Jack grinned excitedly and pointed to himself: “I am willing to turn in 15% of all looted materials for you and become a little captain under your command! Do you think this is feasible, my respected mentor?”

“Shut up! Jack Sparrow, you shameless scumbag! The Intrepid will never become a pirate ship!”

Norrington was furious, ignoring Heather’s presence, and immediately rushed to Jack, grabbed the latter’s collar and yelled.

He could understand it. From the very beginning, Heather planned to turn the Dreadnought, which is of the top level in firepower and speed, into a pirate ship. And Jack Sparrow even plans to add the Black Pearl to Heather, turning it into a powerful pirate fleet.

The Intrepid is the trust given to him by the British Royal Marine, and it is also the flagship of his fleet, the pride of Port Royal! Norrington would rather the ship sink to the bottom of the sea than she would become a pirate ship.

Jack opened his hands to Heather and shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent.

“Mr. Norrington, now this Intrepid is my possession. Only I can determine her whereabouts and future destiny.”

Heather gently squeezed the wrists of Norrington’s hands that grasped Jack’s collar. Norrington only felt his body numb, and he involuntarily stepped back and hit the wooden wall with a bang.

Ignoring Jack with a provocative smile on his face, Heather touched his chin and looked at Elizabeth: “…You have a little lover named William Turner on board the Black Pearl?”

“Not a little lover…” Elizabeth’s voice quickly became quieter, but she thought about it again, it was not right! The old lady made a marriage contract with Norrington to save Will, and now he is no longer the Captain of the Intrepid, so why should I care about him! ?

“Yes! Will is my sweetheart! He fell into Barbosa’s hands to save me, I must save him!”

The girl made a brave declaration.

Governor Swann next to her just felt black, my goodness, what curse the little blacksmith has put on my daughter! Why does the dignified Governor’s daughter have to chase after a blacksmith!

Heather is not incomprehensible about this, although she looks a little different from the movie, but Elizabeth’s appearance can vaguely see Guy La Knightley’s appearance. In the same way, other people are somewhat similar to the images in the movie. Thinking about it this way, the blacksmith Wiltner of the Elf Prince version, which girl can refuse?

But Norrington Commodore was not black in front of him, but green in front of him. Happiness comes fast and goes fast. If this is a dream, please let this nightmare wake up early!

Heather looked at the father and daughter in time:

“Then, Miss Elizabeth, Governor Swann, if I save Mr. William Turner and annihilate the Barbosa gang, what kind of payment can I get?”

“What kind of remuneration do you want?” Before Governor Swann could bargain, Elizabeth asked directly.

“Weapons, artillery, living supplies… I need everything needed to sail on the sea.”

Heather said bluntly, he didn’t hide his intention to be a pirate at all, and it seemed that he was not afraid of being wanted at all.

“I agree to the transaction with you in the name of the Governor of Port Royal.”

How much supplies can the two ships hold, Governor Swann, who was relieved, reluctantly adjusted the collar, and said in a serious tone: “The specific content needs to be issued in a written contract. I wonder if you need me to do it for you?”

“If you want, it would be great.” Heather stroked his chest and bowed slightly.

“Tutor, do you need me to guide him at the helmsman? The reef where Barbossa hides is messy, and only I can go with the boat flexibly except him.” Jack jumped to Heather, his eyebrows trembling. Fly up and down like the wings of a seagull.

“Go on, my apprentice.” Heather stroked the non-existent long beard, overwhelmed by the addiction of Grandpa Whitebeard’s tutor.

Soon, the Intrepid turned around and headed towards the island where Barbosa was hiding.

……………………

At the bottom of the Black Pearl’s cabin, one cage holds the innocent sailors previously hired by Jack, and the other holds Will alone.

Outside the cage, two pirates under Barbossa were piercing the floor with mops.

“I’m curious…” Will put his hands in the gap of the cage and looked at one of the pirates who was mopping the floor: “Why did you betray Jack Sparrow before?”

The sailors in the other cage also showed the look of Eight Trigrams. Jack Sparrow’s name resounded through the sea, but the grievances between him and the former first officer Hector Barbosa were rarely known.

The short bald pirate who was asked was named Pintel, and he was probably also a nagging mouth. After giving Will a vicious look, he couldn’t help but said, “The thing you asked is the same as us. Only the old sailor on the Black Pearl knew about it. Seeing that you are about to be out of luck, it’s okay to tell you.”

Pintel leaned on the mop and stood in place, sinking into memories:

“Ten years ago, we admired Jack Sparrow’s name and joined the Black Pearl. The most famous of these was Captain Barbosa.”

“First officer, he and he was still a big mate back then.” Ragerty, a tall, thin pirate with fake eyes on his right eye, stammered.

“Shut up! I know!” Pintel yelled at his friend fiercely, then wiped his nose and continued to fall into the memory:

“Barbosa was the pirate king of the Caspian Sea at the time, and Jack and his father, Old Teague, were the pirate king of the Caribbean Sea. How poor the Caspian Sea is, it is a lake, and Barbosa can’t stand it and can only run to Old Teague. Unexpectedly, Old Teague directly abdicated and gave the position to his son Jack. Barbossa also willingly assisted Jack as the first officer of the Black Pearl.”

“To be honest, Barbossa is much more competent as the first officer than the captain Jack. Jack Sparrow, as the pirate king of the Caribbean, did not rob merchant ships without hurting lives, and even prevented us from engaging in pirate activities. It’s just looking for treasures, exploring, and doing things that don’t know the so-called.”

“Wait a minute, was that the same for Jack at that time?” Will gestured Jack’s sissy orchid fingers and crazy steps.

“No, although young and impulsive, Jack was still normal at the time.”

Pintel shook his head and continued:

“One day, Jack took a treasure map and said to us-‘Guys, we are going to make a fortune!’, that guy is a clever navigator, leading the ship in the direction indicated by the chart. Kai On the third day after the voyage, Barbossa took the crew to find Jack as the first mate-“Captain, as the crew of the Black Pearl, we at least want to know what the destination and goal are, rather than being so confused. Sailing, this will greatly affect morale.'”

“Hehehe, there is the style of Captain Barbosa.” Lagerty is a loyal little attendant of Barbossa, and he smiles.”I’m telling this story!”

Aside from roaring, Pintel has nothing to do with his funny-headed buddy, so he can only continue to say:

“Jack was still young at the time and stupidly confided his destination. It was Cortez’s treasure, a mysterious treasure chest containing 998 Aztec gold coins. He even showed us the treasure map and declared This huge treasure must be shared equally with everyone.”

At this point, Pintel sneered:

“Captain Barbossa led the crew to defect that night. We captured the Black Pearl, then exiled Jack to a desert island and left him with a musket with only one bullet in it. Yes, that’s right, that’s it. Desert island, desert island where Little Beauty and Jack were exiled.”

“…Is my father also a traitor?” Will’s face was a little pale.

He has always believed that his father was a good sailor with integrity and kindness, and the gold coin he sent to himself was also a manifestation of his father’s love. Ten years ago when Will received the gold coins, his mother had been dead for many years, so Will Jr. went to the Caribbean Sea to find his father on a merchant ship. He did not expect that the merchant ship was attacked by the Black Pearl on the way, except for Will’s. No one survived outside.

And lucky little Will was rescued by the warship Norrington was riding on, and little Elizabeth was also on it. Elizabeth, who discovered that Will was carrying the pirate gold coin, hid the gold coin, and begged her father and Norrington to take Will back to Port Royal. The fate between the two began.

Until I met Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth was taken away because of the gold coin, and she also learned her true identity from Jack Sparrow—the son of a pirate.

Will was very confused. He subconsciously refused to accept the fact that his father was a pirate, but he also expected to hear that his father was a good person.

“‘Tie Boots’ Bill Turner, hum, you look exactly the same as old Bill, you are so handsome, what a hell!”

Pintel sipped at Will fiercely: “After Jack was exiled, Old Bill kept nagging, and later we found that as long as we took gold coins from that stone box, we would be cursed as an immortal monster. Old Bill He was even more dissatisfied. He always said, “This does not meet the requirements of the code.” He regretted the exile of Jack and publicly accused Barbossa. So…”

“So, the captain of the Barbosa ship tied Bill’s boot straps to the cannon, and pushed his guns and guns into the ocean, allowing him to sink to the bottom of the sea (Davy Jones’ Locker). )! The boot straps are tied to the cannon, hehehehe…”

Lagerty was still laughing at his witty presence at first, but seeing the angry face of his friend Pintel, he immediately lowered his head and began to obediently wipe the floor.

“It’s a pity that we didn’t know until later that we had to return the gold coins and pay the price of [blood] if we wanted to eliminate the curse.”

Pintel shrugged his shoulders, his expression gradually grim:

“But by then we have lost a gold coin and Bill’s [blood] forever, and there is no way to eliminate the curse. Fortunately, you sent the door to Will Jr.. Bill always said we deserved to be cursed. , And will never be freed, but at this time he is estimated to be sinking to the bottom of the sea with the cannon, and because of the curse of the immortal body, he is so painful that he can’t die haha! He is an idiot!”

“No, he is a good man!” Jack’s current first officer, Mr. Gibbs, couldn’t help saying in the cage next to him.

Will, with his head down, couldn’t help but raise his head when he heard these words.

Pintel said indignantly: “Don’t be proud, you will suffer soon. Tell you, Captain Barbossa can…”

Pedal! Pedal! Pedal!

The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted Pintel’s words. He knew who was coming just by hearing the footsteps, and he hurriedly stood up straight.

Barbossa’s figure appeared on the cabin stairs, holding a bunch of keys in his hand:

“Take him out.”

After a while, Will was escorted out of the cell by five flowers, while the sailors in the other cell were desperately waiting to be the sacrifices of the Barbosa group at the murder banquet after the curse was removed.

In the dark, the Black Pearl is anchored by the small island shaped like a skull. This is the hiding place of the Barbosa group and their treasure.

Barbosa, wearing a wide felt hat, hummed and walked through the narrow cave tunnel, throwing green apples in his hands. Apples, this is Barbosa’s favorite, for him to be unable to taste the tender and juicy apples for ten years is tantamount to cruel punishment.

But it doesn’t matter, just tonight, right here, he will soon be able to taste the sweetness of apples again.

Behind him followed the pirates of Wuyang Wuyang. They held torches and followed Barbosa at every step.

Pintel grabbed Will, who was tied up with five flowers, and said as he walked: “Don’t worry, it’s just cut your finger and put some blood…”

At this moment, a burly pirate wearing a headscarf pushed Pintel away, then grabbed Will’s back collar, and said viciously: “Don’t make any more mistakes this time. He can only count as half [Bill] Turner], we need to give him another bloodletting!”

Looking at Will who was being taken away, Pintel and Lagerty looked at each other and shrugged:

“It seems that there is really a reason to worry?”
