Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 77 The heart at the top of the spire must be won

"Why is there a ship there?" Xia Qi asked curiously. He jumped off the golden submarine and wanted to walk along the beach in the direction of the ship.

Peggin and Bebo the White Bear also followed him subconsciously.

"Wait a minute." The man wearing a spotted dome hat and holding a long knife stopped him. "Something's wrong. Don't get close."

Xia Qi stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong? Luo, are you a little too careful? It's just a ship."

"It's not that I'm too careful, but that you are too careless." Trafalgar Law with dark circles under his eyes said seriously, "Have you forgotten what happened last time?"

Xia Qi, Pei Jin and Bebo all tilted their heads in confusion.

Luo let out a long sigh: "Just last time, in a forest, you saw an apple on the ground and rushed to grab it. As a result, a ground trap was triggered and you were caught in a tree by a net."

Ah, that thing.

Xia Qi and Peijin then remembered the past and both laughed awkwardly.

"I was really hungry that day and had nothing else to eat."

"That's right. It's not entirely our fault. We thought the apple fell from the tree."

Only Beibo, the white bear, bowed directly to Luo and said humanly: "I'm sorry!"

"In short, it is very abnormal for a ship to appear in a high tower on the seabed, and it is not a submarine like ours." Luo waved his hand and explained, "I don't know what happened, so Just don’t get close and minimize the risk.”

"Yes, we understand!" Xia Qi and Peijin agreed, but they still looked smiling and obviously didn't take it to heart.

Beibo the White Bear bowed and apologized again.

Luo shook his head: "Okay, let's go to the top of the cliff and take a look. Maybe we will find something."
-
The road to the whale's spine finally comes to an end.

Arrita lowered her head and glanced at her watch. They had walked for almost an hour, and their ankles were so weak that they got here.

At the end of it is a majestic stone palace, with painted murals on the left and right sides. In the center, there are many dark caves staring at them like the eyes of giant beasts.

"Four openings." Crowe glanced at it and counted silently. He pushed the round glasses on the bridge of his nose with his palm, "Captain, this should be a maze, otherwise there would be no need for so many entrances and exits."

"I understand what you mean." Davy Jones looked at the murals with his gray-blue eyes and pointed, "Start investigating here first and figure out the ins and outs of this place."

"Yes."

Davy Jones and his crew came to the first painted mural. He took out his pipe in his spare time and let the crew interpret it while he smoked leisurely.

Now he is only relying on intuition to delve into this. Whether there is any profit to be gained depends on the content on these murals.

If there was a disappointing result, he would order the crew to retrace their steps.

What stands on the first mural is the current tower, but it seems to be only half completed. The upper part is still incomplete and extends to the sky, while the lower part is deeply rooted in the land.

Around the tower, people of different races are painted.

The most prominent ones are the giants, then the murlocs and merfolk, and then the humans.

There are also some races with very long arms, or very long legs, or races with three eyes, and some people who are so small that they are almost invisible.

Under each mural were carved several lines of obscure text. The crew could not identify which country or era the text was from, and naturally they could not decipher its content.

Bucky also simply compared them with the "Historical Text" text he had seen in his memory, and found that they were also different.

The text in the "Historical Text" looks square and square, but the text here is beautiful with its curves and slants.

However, although the text was incomprehensible, the content of the mural was still quite popular. They quickly understood the meaning, and Arrita read out their common conclusion.

"All the major races in the world came together and built this tower on a continent."

The tower in the second mural has been completed, with the top level pointing upward.

The interior of the minaret is divided into four floors. Except for a heart painted on the top floor, a gemstone is painted on the lower three floors.People from all major races in the world are waving their whips to drive a group of strange monsters into the tower.

"They hid rare treasures in the spire, and drove a group of monsters to guard each floor for them."

The third mural shows huge waves rising from both sides, flooding the bottom of the minaret, and a group of humans pouring into the minaret.

In the fourth mural, the minaret has sunk into the sea.

"I don't know what natural or man-made disaster happened. The spire and the land plate below were completely swallowed by the sea water. However, some humans escaped by entering the spire."

Four people with different images appear in the fifth mural. They climb upward along the steps of the minaret.

What's strange is that at the bottom of the tower below them, there are countless skeletons piled up. The masks worn on these skeletons and the weapons in their hands are the same as those of the four people at the top.

Arrita and others hesitated for a moment, then expressed their guess:
"The minaret sank to the bottom of the sea, and the sea swallowed up the bottom. In order to survive, the people who escaped from death could only climb to the top of the minaret full of monsters, sacrificing themselves in exchange for killing and cleaning up the monsters, and gradually formed four major schools. "

The sixth mural depicts the intricate passages inside the minaret, some connected and some isolated from each other.

The four people with different images stretched out their hands and reached for the three keys floating in the air.

The three keys, one red, one green and one blue.

"Their purpose is to find the three keys in the maze-like path inside the minaret."

On the seventh mural, three keys have been placed on a circular stone plate, and a stone door as high as half a mountain is opened not far away.

On the eighth mural, on the left are the four people, looking serious, and on the right is a huge gray heart.

In the last two murals, a hand held a small gray heart that seemed to be carved out. Then all four of them jumped out from the top of the spire and saw the boundless sea.

"They gathered three keys and opened the door. This time the enemy was a heart."

"After defeating the heart, they obtained a small heart, and then they were able to escape from the top of the spire, return to the sea, and regain their freedom."

The crew looked to Davy Jones, wanting to know what the captain thought of their interpretation.

Davy Jones nodded and put away his pipe.

He stared at the spire structure of the second mural, then looked at the big heart and small heart that appeared in the eighth and ninth murals, and concluded:
"The door they opened by gathering the three keys should be on the top floor. The heart is their obstacle, and it is also their rarest treasure."

Crowe also noticed that in the second mural, the one at the top of the spire was a heart, so he nodded and agreed with the captain's statement.

heart……

Davy Jones's expression became complicated and difficult to understand.

In this world, he is the only one who knows that his greatest weakness is his heart, because it is the only part that cannot regenerate.

Although no one knows the true identity of his abilities yet, and there is no way to know the secret of his heart, but as we go further and further on the Great Line, there will be more and more talented people, and sooner or later they will be able to discover something.

I have to plan for a rainy day... I just don’t know if the heart at the top of the spire is good for me?
Davy Jones did not hesitate for too long. The corners of his mouth above the wriggling tentacles raised and he smiled and said, "Let's search for these three keys and go to the top of the spire to take a look."

"Captain." Crowe objected at this time, "Have the humans here collected the three keys and left the top of the spire? Maybe there is nothing left at the top."

"Consider it a short break in the journey," said Davy Jones.

"They must have failed for a long time, and then they told future generations what to do in the form of murals and texts. Maybe they are still struggling in the minaret now."

"In this case, it is quite normal that you don't know these words, because you are not from the same era at all."

The captain's words sent shivers down the spine of the crew.

They couldn't imagine what a cruel scene it would be for a group of humans to live in this isolated spire for generations?
