Chapter 157

Jack was unconscious and removed from all his arms without any sense, and even his captain's cap was taken away.

Before being thrown into the prison of Port Royal, Xin Sheng passed by the soldiers who were escorting Jack. Unconsciously, he stuffed a gold coin into Jack's head-tied turban, and walked away the bead chains and silver coins hanging outside the turban with his backhand.

This is the Bariyal that Jack kept as the Pirates of the Caribbean.

‘One for one, fair trade.’

"Clang!"

The harsh sound of the prison door closing awakened Jack from his coma.

“Um…”

Subconsciously raising his hand to cover his dizzy head, Jack suddenly felt a strange feeling.

"What's this?"

When Jack's pupils suddenly contracted when he took out the foreign object from his headscarf and saw the body of the item in his hand.

"Wow~Wow~ Look at what this is."

A sarcastic voice suddenly came from the next cell: "A gold coin, I didn't expect that our new friend could hide the money from those jailers who were desperate and bring the money to the cell."

Most of the people who were detained in Port Royal cells were pirates, and were locked up here for being executed after doing something to cross the line.

After fully awakening, Jack calmly withdrew his right hand holding the gold coin, making the gold coin disappear in his hand like magic.

"What are you talking about? Gold coins? Could it be that I have been locked up for too long and have hallucinated?"

Jack smiled and stretched out his hands: "Where are gold coins? Why didn't I see it?"

When he talked bored with his inmates, Jack's mind did not stop working.

‘Why did the Aztec gold coins appear in my turban? Who did it?’

...

"The king asked me to patrol the mountains~ I'll turn around the world~"

Things were developing according to their own plans. Xin Sheng was in a good mood and returned to his residence in Port Royal, humming songs that others could not understand.

"Wang!"

Dahuang, who was left at home, rushed up enthusiastically, and Xin Sheng squatted down and played with Dahuang for a while.

"Be prepared, Dahuang, Port Royal will usher in a magnificent upheaval tonight."

"Dongdong!"

A sudden hurried knock came from outside the door. Xin Sheng's expression moved and he had already guessed who the person was.

"Cruff~"

When he opened the door, a handsome face with an anxious look appeared in front of Xin Sheng.

"Xin! I heard that Miss Swan fell into the water. What exactly happened at the promotion ceremony?"

Xin Sheng enthusiastically held the person's shoulder: "Haha~ Don't be anxious, come in and talk about it, Will."

The person who came was Will Turner, the little blacksmith who had always been in secret with Elizabeth Swan.

Will, who has not yet understood the truth of his life experience, is still an honest civilian. He thinks he is a low-key person and dares not imagine climbing to the governor's daughter, so he can only bury this relationship in his heart.

After learning from Xin Sheng that Elizabeth was safe and sound, Will finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xin Sheng asked with interest: "Since you care so much about Miss Swan, why don't you let her know what you want?"

Will shook his head with a wry smile: "There is too much difference between me and her, so what if I express my feelings?"

"She is like a beautiful swan soaring in the sky, and I am just an ugly black duck buried in the mud, and I am not worthy of her at all."

Xin Sheng's expression was a little weird: "Ugly Duckling? Andersen has something to say."

"Don't say that. Judging from my observation, Miss Swan is not a person who is content with the status quo. She yearns for a wider sky outside the Governor's Mansion."

"Maybe you can go out to sea to make a good marriage together by chance in the future? Who can tell the future exactly what is happening, everything is possible."

Will has no hope for this: "Real life is not as dramatic as described in the Knight novel. I just hope she can be happy, that's all."

‘…Your speech is too bad.’

Xin Sheng and Will's acquaintance was inevitable in chance.

Will, who was in a depressed mood, would occasionally go to the Howling Oak Bar to have a drink, and by the way, he would also buy some reserved wine for his drunkard master.

After meeting through a fight, Xin Sheng often took the initiative to talk to this honest man for his own purposes.

The two did not get along well at the beginning. Will Turner has been very disgusted with pirates since he was a child. In his opinion, privateers are no different from pirates.

Will's bad impression of pirates is mainly affected by the surrounding environment.

As a good citizen, Will is not afraid to feel bad about them.

During his long-term contact with Xin Sheng, Will gradually abandoned preconceived prejudice and began to learn how to distinguish good and evil with individuals rather than killing the entire group with one blow.

"Oh~ by the way."

Xin Sheng took out the recycled claw hook and placed it on the table: "Will, the claw hook you made is of good quality. Thanks to it, I was able to save Elizabeth smoothly."

What collapses from the city wall is not because of its own quality, but because of the decay of the city wall.

Will checked the status of the claw hook: "It's slightly worn, but it's not a big problem. I'll take it back and polish it for you."

As a blacksmith, Will is more talented than his master who drinks all day long.

The promotion gift given to Norrington by Governor Wetherby Swan was created by Will himself. Xin Sheng had actually felt it before. It was a very sharp sword.

"Tonight, the Governor invited me to the Governor's House to attend a family dinner on the grounds of thanking me for saving Elizabeth. Do you have anything to say to me to bring to Miss Swan?"

Will's face moved, but finally sighed helplessly.

"Miss Swan should be still worried about what he had happened in the afternoon, so don't bother her with these trivial matters."

Xin Sheng couldn't help rolling his eyes: "You warm man are too exaggerated, so the care that the other party actually feels is meaningless."

"Oh~"

Xin Sheng patted Will on the shoulder with amused and crying: "Then I'm ready to go."

"I have a bad premonition that unexpected situations may occur tonight. You'd better prepare for battle in advance to avoid being in a hurry."

On the way back to the blacksmith shop, Will scratched his head in confusion.

"Premonition? How do you say it is like it will happen?"

...

The three Aztec gold coins snatched from Spanish merchant ships have been distributed. Now there are four gold coins that the Black Pearl urgently needs in Port Royal, which will inevitably lead the cursed ship to come.

After finishing up his clothes, Xin Sheng boarded the carriage sent to greet him.

As Wetherby said, this thank-you banquet did not invite outsiders, but was just a simple family dinner. Except for the housekeeper and maid, only Swan and daughter and Xin Sheng participated.

Aside from the sleekness and calculations of being a politician, Weatherby is just an old father who loves his daughter.

Fashion clothing popular in London almost killed her baby's daughter, and Weatherby never mentioned the so-called fashion again.

At the dinner, Elizabeth wore a loose aristocratic floor-style long dress. Although she did not show off her figure as well as the dress during the day, it was enough to highlight her youthful beauty.

...I am really sorry that I am a little sorry for Shangwei, which does not conform to Xin Sheng's aesthetic view.

‘It’s still Natiya’s figure that is bulging and tilted back and forth, which makes me even more awesome.’

Thinking of Natiya who is now missing, Xin Sheng sighed silently in his heart.

‘I don’t know which world did that stupid girl and Athena go to. I hope they can gain a foothold in the new world smoothly.’

The whole dinner made Weatherby, who was his father and the host of the banquet, feel a little embarrassed. He feels like he has become a redundant person.

Elizabeth has been around Xin Sheng since the banquet and chattering questions, from Xin Sheng's age, hometown appearance, past experiences, to his views on Port Royal and Pirates, etc.

The topics of the world and the world made Xin Sheng tired of dealing with it. This girl who yearned for the vast world was like a question from Ji Chengjing, and she never stopped asking questions during the banquet.

‘Girl, I can understand your yearning for the outside world as a cage bird, but you have too many problems…’
