Old Gibbs gave full play to the shameless spirit of pirates and shamelessly ordered a glass of rum.
There are wine and gold coins, so there is a story.
Old Gibbs spoke slowly.
"We crossed the mountains and the sea under the leadership of Captain Jack."
"Oh, the boat we used to have, but a charming lady, you've never seen a boat that can throw all the boats behind your ass in your life. Anyone and any boat in front of it can only look at the charming and sexy ass of Ms. Black Pearl."
Yilin asked curiously, "where's the ship?"
Old Gibbs shrugged helplessly: "heavy."
Yi Lin: "
"Ah, we once reached the abyss of David Jones and brought Captain Jack back to life. Believe me, it's an adventure story you can't imagine in your life."
"David Jones?"
"Oh, the poor octopus is dead, too. Hey, hey."
Yi Lin: "
"We crossed the Caribbean and defeated the legendary Blackbeard. Damn it, that damn Blackbeard is a man with black magic. In front of him, Captain Jack is as fragile as a woman on tetuga island. Hey, hey, but Blackbeard finally died in front of the fountain of youth."
"Old Gibbs bet that Blackbeard is in hell now and is still cursing Captain Jack to death."
"Why?"
"Because the poor Blackbeard lost his own daughter to Captain Jack's bed."
Yi Lin: "
Old Gibbs spoke more and more vigorously. After all, no one sat quietly opposite for a long time and listened to him boast.
This feeling, ah, is memorable.
Old Gibbs took another gulp of rum.
He suddenly felt that something was missing.
Oh, by the way, it's the eyes of worship.
What he clearly said was the adventure career of a legendary pirate. In front of him, the hairy little boy naturally had to show an expression of worship. Is it that old Gibbs's storytelling level is not deep enough?
Think about it.
Old Gibbs remembered another thing.
"I remember when Captain Jack offended more than half of the people in the Caribbean Sea. Both the dead and the ghost ship were provoked by Captain Jack. Finally one day, a damn dead led an army back to trouble Captain Jack... Hey, I bet you've never seen a dead."
"Oh, it's all right. I've seen a lot. Go on."
Old Gibbs: "... Cough, cough!"
The strong rum accidentally choked into his lungs. Old Gibbs coughed for a long time. Then he looked at the young man in front of him with a strange look.
Boy, you've blown up the cow all at once. It's hard for me to continue blowing, old man!
Do you understand what leaving room is?
Do you understand what respect the old and love the young?
Do you know what modesty is?
Gibbs was a little angry.
Ding!
Yilin shook his head with a smile, turned his palm, and another gold coin fell on the table.
Gibbs's expression was cheerful. He was inspired in an instant and continued: "old Gibbs still remembers that day, the sky broke, the sea cracked, the earth shook and the stars fell... Oh, that scenery, I bet you have never seen... We found the legendary Poseidon's trident at the end of the star."
"And then?"
"It was broken by the captain. Besides, an old man died there."
Old Gibbs didn't know what he thought. Facing the empty void, he raised his glass and drank it with his head up.
Another drink.
Yilin combined the fragmentary story of old Gibbs with the information he had collected so far, so he asked a question: "but I didn't hear that the Trident was stuck?"
Old Gibbs suddenly approached mysteriously and waved to Yilin.
Although this mysterious gesture made Yilin feel a little funny, in order to meet the pleasure of old Gibbs, Yilin obediently put on a curious baby's expression and put his head closer.
Old Gibbs lowered his voice.
"Let me tell you a secret. Few people know about this sea. In fact, Captain Jack is the one who glued the Trident again. Hey, hey --"
"Oh? Why?"
"Because..." old Gibbs hiccupped: "one of the things Captain Jack regrets most in his life is to release a cunning guy from the human body. Therefore, in order to make up for it, Old Captain Jack sailed in person, found the fragments of the Trident, and sealed the cunning guy in the sea with the glued Poseidon Trident..."
"Hey, hey, that cunning guy is called Ka -"
Before old Gibbs finished, the temperature around him suddenly dropped for a few minutes. Yilin felt a move in his heart. Before old Gibbs said the name, he suddenly stretched out his hand and covered old Gibbs's mouth.
Old Gibbs stared wide.
"Shh - I've seen the guy you said."
Yilin is still wearing "kalupso's gaze". Although Yilin can't feel the feeling of being peeped on the land now, if old Gibbs speaks the name in front of Yilin, Yilin is afraid of what will happen.
Clang——
Pop!
Old Gibbs was about to crack his eyes. He suddenly stood up, overturned the stool behind him, and sat down on the ground again, his expression full of panic.
"You, you, you... Have you seen her? Have you been cursed by her?"
Old Gibbs did not dare to mention that name again.
"Sort of."
Different from the frightened old Gibbs, Yilin's expression was very calm.
It's like this curse, not on him.
"Isn't --" old Gibbs didn't get up for a long time. He looked at Yilin with an uncertain expression, but in just a dozen seconds, he guessed Yilin's intention and shouted in a voice of only two people: "no wonder! It's so that you came to old Gibbs to find the 'Trident'! I see!"
Yilin didn't explain too much, but smiled and took out another gold coin and gently put it on the table.
Old Gibbs stood up and sat down again.
But this time, he was not as anxious as before.
He stared at the shiny gold coin on the table and didn't dare to pick it up for a long time.
Finally.
Old Gibbs sighed, "it's a pity that even I can't find the Trident without Captain Jack. No one in the world can find it!"
"Why?"
"Hey, you don't understand. Captain Jack hid the Trident on an island not marked on the nautical chart in order to prevent someone from releasing her again. Only Captain Jack can find the Trident!"
Old Gibbs was very determined.
"What about Captain Jack in your mouth?"
"Maybe he's dead, maybe he's having fun somewhere! Who knows! Since old Jack and Eliza - forget it, oh, it's a sad story. You'd better not know."
Old Gibbs stopped trying to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
Eliza --?
Elizabeth?
wait.
Irene suddenly remembered someone from the swan family.
Elizabeth swan?
Listen to the tone of old Gibbs, there seems to be a story in it?
Yilin silently counted the gold coins in the storage space. Although Yilin was generous, his gold coins were not rich enough to lose.
This damn greedy pirate!
Yilin was speechless.
Ignore the gossip for the time being and concentrate on pulling out some useful information.
Yilin thought for a moment. Combined with all the information, we can know that the "Poseidon Trident", which was broken by Captain Jack and then re glued for barely use, should be a key prop enough to control the plot. If we can find a way to get it, it will be very useful for the most important customs clearance evaluation, or... In short.
So, Yilin asked again, "since it is not marked on the treasure map, how can Captain Jack find the Trident?"
Old Gibbs smiled: "Captain Jack is different. He is a man with a compass."
"Compass?"
Yilin smelled the speech, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"Yes, Captain Jack's compass is different from the general compass. The magical compass can point to the treasure most desired by the people. Those legendary adventure stories all depend on Captain Jack's compass... Hmm? Damn rum, old Gibbs seems to be drunk?"
Old Gibbs stared at the familiar little object in the palm of Yilin's hand and subconsciously rubbed his bleary drunk eyes. No, he rubbed and rubbed again, and almost rubbed blood. The compass exactly the same as in his memory was still in Yilin's hand.
"That compass!"
Old Gibbs breathed and looked stiff. The old hand burst out with amazing agility and grabbed the compass from Yilin.
At the moment when the compass changes hands, the pointer on the compass rotates wildly and never stops.
"Why do you have this compass?"
Yilin could not explain the origin of the compass for a moment and a half.
He always feels a little clever.
Captain Jack, who runs through the world's past.
Little SA with a compass.
Old Gibbs, who once ventured with Captain Jack.
"Because of Elizabeth Lin?"
Make complaints about the corners of the mouth.
What a grudge is this?
Love and hatred of generations of Sansheng VII?
It's too dog blood, isn't it?
So this is the reason why this plot mode must adopt role-playing mode?
He just put on the "Elizabeth Lin" vest. Is it because of too bad luck?
Yilin finally did not explain the origin of the compass for the time being.
After all, little SA and old Gibbs will meet sooner or later.
Under the shocked expression of old Gibbs, Yilin quickly grabbed back the compass and took back the storage space.
This is a key prop. You can't lose it.
"I'm building a ship."
Yilin smiled.
"No way!"
Old Gibbs understood the meaning of Yilin in an instant. His head shook like a wave drum. Yilin was also worried that old Gibbs shook his head too violently and how to fix his cervical spondylolisthesis.
Yilin took it easy and took out another gold coin.
Old Gibbs gritted his teeth and his expression was very firm: "impossible! I've long stopped being a pirate! I want to live a few more years!"
Yilin was silent and took out another one.
Old Gibbs began to struggle, and his eyes could not move away from the gold coins.
Another one.
“……”
Another one.
"But..."
Another one.
"Oh, my dear captain, experienced old Gibbs, try my best to serve you!"
Old Gibbs quickly put away the stack of gold coins and grinned.
After leaving.
Ruth couldn't help asking, "do you really believe that old guy will take us to find... 'Trident'?"
Not long ago, Irene didn't hide Ruth and told Ruth most of the dialogue with old Gibbs.
After all, Ruth will play a very important role in Irene's next plan.
We have to find a way to brush Ruth's loyalty higher.
On the street, they dared not say too many private topics, so they returned to Swann castle as soon as possible.
The night is deep.
After staying up for two nights, Yilin felt that her skin had deteriorated a lot and was too lazy to grind. Under the service of the servants, Yilin comfortably took a hot bath, and then lay down in a clean bed early and fell asleep.
The next day.
The sun is rising again.
Irene then discussed the next plan with Ruth.
"Wait!"
Ruth's eyes widened and her face was unbelievable: "Oh, my dear Lin, you must be kidding."
Yilin shook his head and looked dignified: "I'm not kidding. This matter is very important. I can rest assured only if you do it."
"Acridine!" Ruth became proud and charming inexplicably: "Lin, even if you praise me so much, I won't be happy!"
“……”
This proud expression almost made Yilin blurt out three words: are you special——
Yilin glanced at Wang Tiandi.
Ruth knew for a moment and looked at Wang Tiandi, who was gnawing bones on the ground.
They understood the essence of the plan in an instant.
Ruth understood, but she still hesitated: "but there is no chart, no route, and old Gibbs said that he doesn't know where he's looking."
"Ha ha."
Yilin smiled and took out the compass from the storage space.
And put it in Ruth's hand.
Ruth suddenly felt familiar when she saw the compass. After a while, Ruth recognized it: "hmm? Isn't this the compass of saxophone? How can it be in your hand?"
"I am an excellent and charming pirate."
Ruth: "
After Ruth held the compass, the pointer on the compass was erratic and couldn't point out the right direction at all.
"The compass is broken?"
Ruth knocked a few depressed times.
"No, that's not how the Compass works."
Yilin smiled and explained to Ruth: "there seems to be some kind of black magic on the compass. It doesn't refer to the direction, but the existence most desired by the person holding the compass. You should be able to use the compass to find the right direction if you seriously think about the 'Poseidon Trident'."
Spicy? Magical?
Ruth was also amazed at the mystery of the compass.
Without nonsense, Ruth quickly closed her eyes and tried to use the compasses from the heart.
"Desire -"
"Um ~"
"Inner desire ~"
Ruth has words.
On the compass.
The pointer trembled violently and then turned wildly, as if Ruth's inner stupidity was reflected from the side.
Finally.
The rotating pointer on the compass finally stopped and motionless pointed in a certain direction.
"Huh?"
Yilin suddenly found that the pointer on the compass pointed to himself.
"In the direction behind me?"
Erin changed her position.
The pointer on the compass moved slowly again and pointed to Elizabeth Lin again.
Yi Lin: "
Ruth: "
Five minutes later.
Erin slowly turned around Ruth five times.
He finally determined that the key to the plan, Ruth's desire, was a little different.
The difference is in the word "desire".
[from the compass of the heart], as stated in the description, it must be really "the desire in the heart" to trigger the effect of the compass.
The desire to stay on the surface of consciousness does not count.
Just like in the vast sea at the beginning, Yilin also tried his best to read Ruth's skilled technique. It can almost be regarded as self hypnosis, so he used the compass to locate Ruth.
But this method must have a certain degree of willpower. According to Yilin's estimation, Ruth's character can't copy Yilin's psychological process of finding Ruth.
"What should I do?"
He remembered the deal with calypso and began to have a headache.
If he went down to the sea to look for it himself, he could never hide Calypso's peep.
Only by leaving the sea, completely out of Irene's sight, letting Ruth and Gouzi go to sea alone and operate in two lines, can it be possible to avoid Calypso's prying eyes.
It is inferred from various clues that now Yilin is 80% sure that kalupso is not a real "God", otherwise it can not be sealed in the sea by the "Trident", integrated with the sea, and the power is completely isolated.
Eh!
wait!
Yilin suddenly had an idea and thought of a way.
So when Ruth was playing with the compass, Erin asked Ruth to close her eyes again.
"Relax... Relax... Qi sink into the Dantian..."
Ruth:
"In short, just relax and don't think about it."
Seeing Ruth's expression gradually becoming blurred, Yilin lay down in Ruth's ear and said slowly in a dreamy tone.
"Ruth, there's a curse on you. As long as it's a man who makes love to you, he can't die."
"Well..."
Ruth is speechless. Don't you know what happened to me? Do you need to say it to pierce your heart?
"You may not know that the trident of Poseidon is the source of all curses on the sea. The reason why you are contaminated with this damn curse is that the Trident was broken at the beginning and was later pasted again. Therefore, the curse on the sea revived and seemed to become more terrible."
what the fuck?
An idea flashed through Ruth's mind.
But Irene didn't give Ruth time to think at all and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "think about it carefully. Your real desire is not just an Elizabeth Lin, your goal, but the beautiful men all over the world. What you really desire is a vigorous and stirring love that can't sleep all night..."
"Acridine ~" Ruth's breath stagnated. Under the induction of Yilin, she didn't know what picture was not suitable for children. Her cheeks flushed like a ripe big apple.
"So!" Yilin's voice suddenly rose high.
"As long as you find the trident of Poseidon, you can lift the curse. From then on, you can sleep wherever you want and whoever you want. Isn't it very happy?"
Yes!
Ruth closed her eyes, though.
But after Elaine said these words, her mind seemed to bang, like the toilet suddenly opened, suddenly bright and bright.
As long as the curse is untied, I'll sleep with whoever I want? Use whatever posture you want? From whatever angle you want?
Not at all!
instant.
Ruth gripped the compass in her hand, and the pointer turned wildly again. Finally, it was completely fixed in a certain direction.
Yilin quietly moved his ass and changed several positions.
Seeing that the pointer did not shake at all, Yilin was completely relieved.
Finally, it's done!
……
……
Yilin began to get busy again.
Counting the time with your fingers, the deadline for the second main task is getting closer and closer.
Although the punishment is not so exaggerated as direct erasure, Yilin habitually tries his best and is not willing to break through the second main task.
In front of Yilin, the structure of the trial practice of the whole plot is like a shy girl unveiling her veil, and her thinking is more and more clear.
Perhaps it is because the map is too vast in this trial practice of the world. Yilin has been busy exploring the plot, but he has little interleaving with other apostles.
At present, only Gu Tianqing and Wang Tiandi have been in contact with Yilin.
The other two apostles seemed to be wandering on the sea, brushing the points happily.
Unfortunately, this mission did not have a list similar to the "prestige list". In addition to asking for information around or speculating about the changes of the reward, Yilin had no other way to speculate about the actions of the other two "pirate allies" from the side.
"Oh, this trial practice is a little lonely."
Yilin has long been used to colluding with each other at the beginning, and even fighting. Suddenly, there is such a lonely journey, which makes Yilin a little uncomfortable.
However, the Apostle is such a creature. He has traveled all over the world and experienced vicissitudes of life. The survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest. Each time, the task style and mode are different. Irene II has never encountered the same inner world.
If you don't adapt to this rhythm, it may be a good thing to eliminate it early.
And now.
Yilin is wearing gorgeous women's clothes, leisurely basking in the sun with "Elizabeth Lin's father" Old Swan, enjoying quiet afternoon tea in the castle yard.
——Hot black tea, with exquisite handmade cakes.
Although the swan family has declined, the noble heritage is still there, enough for the family to enjoy a luxurious life.
In addition, Elizabeth Lin became the fiancee of the governor. It seems that I heard that many other families began to tie up with the swan family in some business.
From the smile that couldn't be hidden on Old Swan's face, Yilin roughly speculated that old swan was very happy recently and smiled foolishly all day. It seems that he has been dreaming of the revitalization and rise of the swan family.
Yilin bowed her head gracefully, sipped black tea and ate cakes.
"My daughter, it's hard for you."
Old Swan suddenly said this, with a look of emotion.
Yilin kept smiling. Then Old Swan asked softly, "have you made a lot of money recently?"
It's strange to say that there are no other families to curry favor with the swan family.
Old Swan said, "it's OK, it's OK, oh, my baby, you know, there's not too much money for a real aristocrat."
Yilin was silent for a moment.
Then he said casually, "Oh, shit, I almost forgot a very important thing."
Old Swan: "
"Recently, there have been many pirates in the city. It is said that even the legendary 'skeleton gentleman' has appeared."
Old Swan looked calm: "don't worry, London is heavily guarded, my good daughter, don't worry, your future husband will never let you be kidnapped by the damn pirates again."
Yilin shook his head: "I'm worried about Swann's property!"
Old swan was also stunned: "what are you afraid of? Pirates are not only at sea..."
Irene interrupted Old Swan, "but I heard that everyone knows that pirates are good at robbing banks in strange ways, let alone the treasure house of a family."
Hiss——
Old Swan suddenly took a breath.
Yilin said again, "the Swann family's property should be hidden?"
"Well, my good daughter, don't worry, our family's treasure is very hidden. In the third room on the right side of the corridor on the second floor of the basement and on the bookshelf on the left side, count the third book in the second row from top to bottom," how to get richer ". Press it down to open the secret door!"
Old Swan proudly took out a key made of pure gold from his collar: "moreover, the only key to the secret door is hidden by his father. No one can guess how to enter swan's treasure room. Hey! Even the damn pirate!"
Yilin smiled happily, "well, damn pirates."
