The atmosphere became embarrassing. Elizabeth really didn't expect Ethan to even know this. The hand holding the gold coin became a little unnatural, as if it was uncomfortable to put it anywhere.
"Of course, if this problem can be solved today, it would be best."
Ethan provided a suitable step, omitting the question of the original ownership of the gold coins.
"And as far as I know, that one is not the true owner of this gold coin."
Elizabeth sat silent for a moment, then suddenly asked what this thing was for. She still couldn't restrain the curiosity in her heart and wanted to know the truth.
Looking at her posture, it doesn't seem to say that she won't give up. Ethan simply gave a brief overview of the situation.
When Elizabeth heard that once this thing came into contact with the sea, it would be sensed by a group of pirates cursed by the treasure, and some people didn't believe it. It looked like she was treating Ethan as a kid who deceived children.
"I've already told you about the situation, and I don't care if you believe it or not." Ethan saw that Elizabeth just put the gold coin in her hand and didn't hold it tightly, and stretched out her hand and moved her finger gently. The hand of the very skilled mage that had been practiced silently activated and took the gold coin from Elizabeth's hand directly.
The strange scene that happened suddenly stunned Elizabeth. After a while, she suddenly remembered that she was almost suffocated to death by the body shaper yesterday. It was when she walked to Ethan in a daze that she was suddenly relieved.
After returning home, she checked it out and found that the buckle on the back of the corset had loosened a little. She thought it was being held back by herself. Now it seems...
Elizabeth is not stupid, and can even be judged by cleverness. Sometimes she seems silly and sweet because she is not old and lacks experience and knowledge. This does not mean that she is unaware of some clear clues.
"It was you yesterday!"
"No thanks, I'm always helpful."
Elizabeth's face turned red, not knowing whether it was anger or some other reason, Ethan checked the Aztec gold coin back and forth in his hand. I didn't notice it before, but I felt the hidden fluctuations in the gold coins when I got it in my hand.
This kind of fluctuation is rather weird, Ethan can't tell the nature of it, and can only conclude that this thing is the real thing he wants.
"In return, what kind of reward do you hope to get?" This behavior is a bit like strong buying and selling, but Ethan is no longer ready to continue wasting time here.
"I didn't promise to sell you gold coins!"
Looking at Ethan, she knew that the gold coin could not be retrieved, so Elizabeth made her request decisively.
"But I can bring gold coins and go with you..."
Ethan waved his hand and refused. This girl is not a peaceful temper. In my heart, I don't know how many times I have fantasized about going out to sea, seeing real pirates, and so on. She often regards the storylines I have seen as the truth, and bringing her is purely to cause trouble for myself.
"I can ask my father to arrange warships." Elizabeth seemed determined to join in the fun, so she didn't hesitate to cheat her father: "You are going to find those pirates. You always need a good ship, don't you?"
Of course Ethan needs a boat. In fact, he has not solved this problem. It is said that it can be bought, but someone has to sell it. Although there are many ships moored in Port Royal, they are all owned by them. It is not so easy to buy them. As for going to the shipyard to buy a new ship? When his ship leaves the factory, he doesn't know what year he will have to wait, and he really has a headache.
"Warship?"
As the governor of Port Royal, although Swann cannot directly command the Royal Navy in name, it is not a big deal to mobilize a warship to destroy a group of pirates, and Brigadier General Norrington has no reason to object.
"You reminded me that using warships is indeed a good idea."
He opposed Jack's use of the Interceptor because Jack planned to steal the warship. Now it is different, he wants the Royal Navy to cooperate with his actions.
Brigadier General Norrington seems to have no need to oppose, and it is in his own interest to destroy the pirates. It is in his own interest to eliminate the pirates. If a soldier wants to go further, countless merits are needed to accumulate. The simplest thing is to make a battle.
The best exploits in the Caribbean Sea is to clear the pirates and ensure the interests of the British Empire in this area.
Elizabeth watched Ethan sink into thought and did not disturb him, but thought about how to make the other party agree to bring herself. She didn't want to miss such an interesting thing, and at the same time she wanted to see what the so-called cursed pirate was like. Did this guy make up casually to tease himself.
Ethan thought this idea was very interesting, and Jack would definitely be pulled aboard by himself. The pirates who would have been captured by Norrington would now stand grandiosely in the middle of the Royal Navy...
Interesting is fun, but it may not be so easy to do all this.
What's more, the girl in front of me is also making small calculations, and it will inevitably come out suddenly to make a mess.
"But it shouldn't be a big problem."
He didn't want to take it with him before, because he and Jack were two people, and no one had the time to take care of her. If Norrington is really persuaded to send a warship to deal with the Black Pearl, let’s not mention whether this girl can pass her father’s level. Even if she is really caught on the ship, Brigadier Norrington will worry about her safety. Question, it's not your turn to bother yourself.
"If you can help me convince Brigadier General Norrington, and your father has no objection..."
Hearing what Ethan said, Elizabeth suddenly felt that she had infinite energy. After so many years, she never seemed to be more energetic than today.
"Deal!" In a state of excitement, Elizabeth finally remembered the method Ethan used before, so she asked the doubt in her heart: "How did you do it just now?"
"Magic."
"Magic?" Elizabeth still doesn't believe it, but when I think about it, what I heard and saw today seems to be quite magical, and magic seems to be nothing unacceptable: "Is it really magic?"
Ethan nodded.
"Can I learn?"
It’s not the first time that Ethan heard that someone wanted to learn magic. He didn’t feel surprised about that; wasn’t he the same way back then? He understood Elizabeth's feelings at this time very well, and looked at it seriously: "If it's just a few simple small spells, you should be able to learn it."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that you can't go too far on the road of magic." Elizabeth's mental power is very ordinary, similar to Ethan's original situation. Considering that she doesn't have Ethan's constant use of pointers to exercise mental control, so her magical talent is far inferior to Ethan.
In this case, learning magic may be possible by relying on the accumulation of time and the knowledge that Ethan has mastered, but it is basically impossible to truly become a magician. Of course, if Ethan is willing to invest a lot of energy and a lot of rare resources to train her, then nothing is impossible.
Elizabeth didn't feel anything wrong with this. If magic was so easy to learn, she would feel abnormal instead. It seems that this answer is in line with her understanding of magic in her heart.
"Where did you learn the magic?"
"Because of some adventures, I met several masters during the journey." From Guyi to Akara, Ishandra and Zul and then to Merlin, the people who helped lay the foundation for magic are more than a cow. Look at these names. Mori's current achievements are really a normal thing.
"How many...?" Elizabeth is speechless about this, who is this? Encountered a master while traveling...not just one? Is it so easy to encounter a master of magic? Why hasn't she seen any of them? Even before today, she had always thought that magic only existed in the story.
In the next dialogue, Elizabeth kept asking like a curious baby, and Ethan selectively answered some unimportant questions.
He should have left after he got the gold coins, but because he suddenly wanted to pull the Royal Navy in, Ethan stayed here and waited for Governor Swann to return.
Fortunately, Governor Swann did not let him wait too long. Governor Swann, who went home to eat at noon, was a little surprised when he saw Ethan especially when he found that this young man was with his daughter. When chatting.
Through the butler’s ‘reliable news’, Ethan came in the morning and has been chatting with Elizabeth in the living room until now.
Although Governor Swann, as his father, appreciates the successful Brigadier General Norrington, he feels that he is a good home for his daughter. However, he still maintains a more open-minded attitude regarding how his daughter chooses. It's just that the next conversation seems a bit different from what I had previously expected?
"Pirate? The Black Pearl?" The Black Pearl exists between legend and fact in the Caribbean. People with the status of Governor Swan certainly know that it is a real existence, just because it came and went without a trace. In addition, the captain acted extremely harshly, leaving almost no trace, so the Royal Navy never took action against him. Some soldiers at the bottom think that the Black Pearl is just a legend.
"Do you want to catch them?"
Governor Swann began to wonder, what mission did this Ethan actually perform in Port Royal?
"It’s more accurate to say that it’s annihilation?" The real purpose is to exchange Jack Sparrow’s trust and subsequent help, but there is no need to talk to Governor Swann about these things, but one point must be emphasized: "In addition, I need The Black Pearl does something so that the pirates on it can be killed, and the ship must be preserved intact."
Talking about this kind of thing, Wetherby Swann resumed the posture that a governor should have. He did not directly promise or make any promises. He just said that such military operations must be conducted with Brigadier General Norrington, the military chief of Port Royal. A decision can only be made after careful consultation.
Especially when Ethan doesn't have any official documents or official identity at all.
