Chapter 152 Mission Planning

As it turns out, Elizabeth is just whimsical.

Weatherby Swan was also the governor, and it was impossible for a special banquet to be held because of a successful privateer.

Recently, Port Royal has been preparing for Colonel Norrington's promotion ceremony. Governor Swan invited British officials from the entire Caribbean to worry about how to settle these distinguished guests.

Xin Sheng got what he wanted from the Basques, and the importance of Governor Swan decreased.

After a handover with the other party's surface, Xin Sheng tactfully resigned.

"Barnabas, the task of supervising the auction is left to you. I'll study the Aztec gold coins."

"Yes, Captain."

The world of Pirates of the Caribbean does not completely follow the history of the earth. In essence, it is a magical world with mysterious concepts such as spells and magic.

According to the plot of the movie, a curse was placed on the Aztec gold coins.

But the curse was not aimed at the gold coin itself, otherwise Elizabeth, who often hung it around her neck, would have been caught.

To be precise, the curse is directed at those who take gold coins from treasure chests.

Those who are cursed will become immortal monsters and will never feel the beauty of the world.

You cannot taste the delicious food, feel the anesthesia of alcohol, or feel the body temperature and soft body of a woman.

For pirates who advocate enjoying their life freely, this curse is absolutely unacceptable.

However, the curse is not entirely a negative effect. At least it can give the cursed person an immortal body and cannot be killed.

After repeatedly looking through the Aztec gold coins, Xin Sheng scratched his head in confusion.

"Well... it seems nothing special."

There are only 3 gold coins obtained from the Basques.

Judging from the fact that gold coins are placed at will, the Spanish do not pay much attention to these bulk gold coins.

Just by holding it, I couldn't feel any special situation. Xin Sheng also turned on Hawkeye and observed it. The gold coins themselves did not carry any energy.

"In other words, the source of the curse is indeed the treasure chest that carries gold coins, right?"

Xin Sheng knew where the treasure chest was, and the name of Death Island was clearly mentioned in the movie.

But Xin Sheng was caught blindly by the exact way to go to the Island of Death, only Barbosa and his crew knew about it.

Come to a small hill behind Port Royal alone, Xin Sheng happened to be alone in this quiet place

An opportunity to sort out your ideas.

Among the three main tasks, Xin Sheng already has a preliminary plan for the task of finding treasures.

The Aztec gold coin box will be the first target.

As for the second one, Xin Sheng plans to take time to go out to sea to find Bu Laoquan, but how to find it is a problem.

To this end, Xin Sheng planned to get the Aztec gold coins and travel to Singapore to seize the magical navigation chart from the local pirate lord Xiaofeng.

The nautical charts inherited by Xiaofeng family can indicate the location of many treasures and secret realms. If used at the same time with the desire compass hanging on someone's body, the effect will be better.

Xin Sheng also has some clues about the task of pleasing the ocean goddess Colibuso.

Colibuso, I don’t know if it was the movie subtitle group who deliberately translated it like this or for some other reason, her name is actually not completely accurate.

For Xin Sheng, who is pronounced in ancient Greek, the name "Colibuso" reminds him of a god.

Calypso, the goddess of the sea in Greek mythology, and the daughter of the Titan giant Atlas.

Calypso's most famous legend is related to Odysseus in the Greek hero's legend.

After helping Greece win the Trojan War, Odysseus refused all rewards and insisted on returning to his hometown to meet his wife again.

On his way back home, Odysseus's ship unfortunately sank near Ogyigia Island. Calypso, the goddess living on the island, rescued him from the sea and fell in love with the handsome Odysseus at first sight.

Calypso promised Odysseus that she could grant Odysseus eternal life as long as she was willing to stay on the island and accompany her.

But Odysseus refused the goddess' favor without hesitation, just as firm as before when he faced many difficulties and obstacles on his way home.

Later, because the goddess of wisdom and war Athena told Zeus about this, the gods of Olympus forced Calypso to release people, which allowed Odysseus to return home smoothly.

"By the way, why is the Greek Goddess of the Sea a black man in the movie? What's the American one right? Or..."

Xin Sheng pondered and guessed: "That black body is just one of the incarnations of the goddess Calypso?"

Jack Sparrow's compass comes from Calypso. Xin Sheng boldly speculated that the mysterious sea chart kept by the Xiaofeng family was also closely related to her.

However, Xin Sheng was not clear about the specific residence of Calypso's incarnation. He only remembered that the name of this incarnation was Tia Doma.

"Maybe someone in Tortuga will know where she lives and find some time to go there."

The last main task is to choose a side station, either help Beckett destroy the pirates or help the pirates defeat Beckett's power.

In terms of selfishness, Xin Sheng didn't want to help either side.

Although pirates do bad things and die, the British East India Company is not a good thing either.

Beckett's elegant and noble appearance is a profit-oriented heart.

He always only cares about interests and does not care about emotions. As long as there is enough reward, he will not refuse any dirty business, which naturally includes the slave trade.

In Xin Sheng's view, the Pirate Guild and the British East India Company are just dog-biting dogs, and no side holds the so-called justice.

However, in light of the requirements of the main mission 2, in order to collect the nine eightrials that sealed the body of Calypso and release the body of the goddess of the sea, Xin Sheng prefers to stand on the side of the Pirate Guild.

"Bariyal?"

Subconsciously dispelled the glasses he had taken from Mrs. Qing's hand, and Xin Sheng started Hawkeye observation again.

This ordinary glasses appear in red tones under the vision of Hawkeye, representing that it contains unimaginable enormous energy.

This is just one of the nine pieces of Bariyal, which can be roughly judged how terrifying the divine power of the Goddess of the Sea is.

If the insider had not revealed Calypso's fatal weakness, it would have been impossible for the mortals of the first generation of Pirate Guild to seal the goddess' body.

And this insider is Calypso's lover...one of them, the captain of the flying Dutchman, David Jones, the king of the sea monster.

The forces on the Caribbean Sea are complex. In addition to the major maritime powers and pirates that exist in reality, David Jones and his pet Craken also have considerable threats.

"Um?"

While Xin Sheng was thinking about his future plans, the sixth sense from Yishu's blood suddenly felt something strange.

‘Someone is watching me?’

The small hill where Xin Sheng is located is far from the residential area of ​​Port Royal, located near the undeveloped primeval forest on the back of the island, and there is no one around.

Looking along the induction, I found that my stunning eyes came from a familiar building.

Port Royal Governor's Office.

While turning around, Xin Sheng saw a strong light flashing on the balcony of the Governor's Mansion, as if it was a light reflected from some kind of smooth object.

"Ha~ So that's it."

When Xin Sheng showed a meaningful smile on his face, Elizabeth, who used a monocular telescope to peep, hurriedly hid back to his dormitory as if he had done something wrong.

"No, why am I hiding?"

The guilty Elizabeth came back to her senses and realized something was wrong: "At such a long distance, he could not see me."

However, when Elizabeth mustered up the courage to return to the balcony to continue watching, there was no sign of anyone on the hillside.

Xin Sheng, hiding in the woods, looked thoughtfully in the direction of the Governor's House: "Elizabeth Swan, a rebellious girl with a strong curiosity, and the holder of Aztec gold coins."

"Maybe, can it be used?"
