Chapter 22 Reaching Consensus as a Prisoner
"I like your title." Jack showed a satisfied smile: "I don't mind cooperating with an Oriental, especially a rich Oriental like you. But you have to let me go first."
"Mr. Tang, you don't want to finally get the compass but be unable to do anything, right?"
"Captain Sparrow seems to be living a good life." Townsend ignored his threat and said calmly: "So that you misjudged the situation."
"I do need you to use your compass to take me somewhere, but unfortunately not as a collaborator, but as a prisoner."
"Prisoner?" Jack was stunned for a moment: "No, no!"
"To me, no freedom is the same as death, and the compass is of no use to the dead."
"Or you can choose to really die." Tang Sen said.
"You won't kill me, I can see that." Jack wanted to spread his hands out of habit, but unfortunately he only moved his shoulders. "The thing you want is very important, and I am very useful to you."
"You are very smart." Tang Sen stood up and looked at him condescendingly: "But this matter does not have to be done by you, but I don't want to waste time looking for other candidates."
"Aren't you curious where I want you to take me?"
"It must be some lost treasure, or some random legend." Jack said, "Let me guess, you don't want to find the Fountain of Youth."
"Do you think that after you get the compass, you can point to the Fountain of Youth?"
"Of course!" Jack said with confidence: "Who doesn't want immortality? As long as you let go of me, my compass will definitely point to where the Fountain of Youth is."
"Captain Jack Sparrow." Townsend sneered: "The compass will only point to what a person wants most in his heart."
"The place I want to go is the place you want to go to the most."
Jack tilted his head and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Tang, you have arrived. I came to Port Royal following the guidance of the compass."
"You want to seize a ship here, go to Tortuga to recruit some sailors to burn, kill, loot, and then kill the informants?" Tang Sen said slowly.
"." Jack opened his mouth wide: "That's my line!"
Townsend ignored him and said to himself: "Jack Sparrow, the captain of the Black Pearl, to be precise, the former captain."
"No, still is," Jack interjected.
"You have only been a captain for two years, Mr. Sparrow." Townsend said: "Ten years ago, you suffered a rebellion because of the wealth of the Island of Death."
"First Officer Barbossa took advantage of the darkness to seize the Black Pearl and threw you on an isolated island. He left you a pistol and a bullet."
"It seems you know me very well. Have you been to Tortuga too?" Jack didn't care that the other party mentioned his past.
"After Barbossa became the captain of the Black Pearl, they successfully found the wealth of the Island of Death, the stone box filled with Aztec gold coins. They took out the gold coins and spent them all, but soon, they discovered , they were cursed, they became the living dead, and lost all sense of the world."
"It's just a scary legend that can be seen everywhere on the sea. I've heard several versions." Jack's expression became slightly more solemn, but he still said harshly: "And, I have to emphasize that Barbossa is not the captain of the Black Pearl, I am. , he is just a shameful betrayer."
"If you want to lift the curse, you must retrieve all the Aztec gold coins and put them back into the stone box in the form of blood sacrifice. Therefore, in the past ten years, the Black Pearl has burned, killed and looted on the sea, and they have accumulated countless riches and, most importantly, they recovered most of the Aztec gold coins.”
"This" Jack sat up straight: "This is not a version that a layman can know."
"Obviously I am not a layman." Tang Sen said: "The place I want to go to is the Island of Death."
"You want the wealth of the Black Pearl? I have to say, that will be a lot of money." Jack said: "As long as you give me half, no, one-third, I am willing to take you there."
"Haha, Mr. Sparrow, lies are meaningless in front of me." Tang Sen looked directly into his eyes: "Money can't impress people like you, at least not about the Black Pearl, no. ?"
"Why do you think so? I'm a pirate!" Jack seemed to be insulted and said, "I don't want money, what do I want?"
"You want the Black Pearl, Captain."
Tang Sen directly exposed Jack's disguise and said: "For ten years, your only pursuit is to take back your ship. That is what you want most in your heart."
"I'm curious, every time you look at the compass alone late at night, you know in your heart that its pointer is pointing in the direction of the Black Pearl, but you can't do anything about it. How does it feel?"
"."
Jack finally fell silent, and the exaggerated and superficially funny expression completely disappeared from his face.
"I can give you the Black Pearl, but only if you take me to the Island of Death."
"I have to admit, Mr. Tang, you are the most mysterious Easterner I have ever seen." Jack said, "The last person who made me feel this way was a witch named Tia Doma."
"You seem to know everything? In this case, you should also know that no matter how much money you have, I'm afraid you can't deal with the Black Pearl. As you said, they are all the living dead."
"Unless I can lift their curse." Tang Sen stretched out his hand, and a gold coin with a skull on it appeared in his hand.
"This is the last Aztec gold coin, Mr. Sparrow."
"I think Barbossa without the curse is no more difficult to kill than an ordinary sailor, right?"
"You forgot, there is also the blood sacrifice ceremony. Do you think why Barbossa still hasn't lifted the curse in the past ten years?" Jack said.
"The Tie King, William Turner, this poor man believed that Barbossa's behavior violated the pirate code, and was tied to a cannon by Barbossa and sunk to the bottom of the sea until no one could find him anymore, and then Barbossa Sa got his retribution, and he discovered that in addition to collecting all the Aztec gold coins to lift the curse, he also needed the blood of the Laced King."
"Prince Wang Chenhai sent the gold coins to his blood relatives, but there has been no news for ten years."
"Then guess where I got this gold coin?"
Jack looked at the Aztec gold coin and fell into a longer silence.
It wasn't until Tang Sen became a little impatient that he spoke: "Island of Death?"
"Island of the Dead!"
"Mr. Tang, I think our cooperation will be very pleasant." Jack smiled, "You get the wealth of the Island of Death, I get the Black Pearl, and give that damn traitor a shot."
"Very good." Townsend smiled slightly, and then waved to Warrant Officer Tom: "Put him on the ship. I don't want anyone to disturb Captain Jack Sparrow."
"Wait a minute! Haven't we already reached a consensus?" Jack shouted.
"Yes, but I also said -"
"As a prisoner."
