Chapter 237 Deal, leave

"At that time, I was desperately looking for a way to lift the curse of divine power, and even spent countless energy studying witchcraft. But as the years passed, my day was coming soon."

After exhaling a breath of alcohol, Jack continued sadly.

"It wasn't until the end of my life that I found some clues, so I drove the renovated Black Pearl and broke into this secret land - [Teotihuacan] after the gods left. After a lot of Through my adventures, I discovered the only way to escape from the clutches of the Lord of Death."

His expression was weird, as if he was crying or laughing, and he bitterly tore off a piece of barnacle from the mast and crushed it into pieces.

"All 882 gold coins of the dead must be enshrined back to the Temple of Death in the center of [Teotihuacan]!"

Hearing this, Zhu Mingyao had already guessed a little bit about the cause and effect, and he said: "However, at that time, the number of gold coins you had on hand was not complete."

"That's right!" Jack put his hand on his forehead depressedly, "Many years have passed since we first [lifted] the curse. A considerable part of the gold coins have been lost long ago. I escaped from the secret realm again after a narrow escape and spent all my money. I tried every means to collect them, but in the end I was still short of a few and couldn’t find them.”

"At this time, my body had begun to decay under the influence of the divine curse. I just relied on the fountain of youth I had drunk to hold my breath. In desperation, I had to return to the secret realm with the gold coins I found, hoping to try my best. .”

He leaned back dejectedly, and his head banged against the mast, "As you can see, I failed. Even if I tried every means to temporarily imprison my soul in my body, I could never leave the secret realm. At the same time, my body is decaying bit by bit, and I will still fall into the hands of death in another few decades. I am almost desperate..."

"But we happened to be here!" Zhu Mingyao said with piercing eyes, "You found the two undead gold coins I carried, so you couldn't wait to jump out and touch them."

Jack laughed at himself: "Your guess is absolutely correct. It's just like this. It's just an old pirate's death struggle. In fact, even if I get the two pieces you have, I'm still short of the last one. I just want to try again... "

"We can help you find the last undead gold coin."

"...I missed one, can it be lifted...?" Jack suddenly hesitated, "What did you just say?"

"We can go out and find the last gold coin and bring it back to you!" Zhu Mingyao repeated.

He smiled proudly, "The organization we belong to is still very powerful in this era."

"Give me the other undead gold coins first. When you get out, I will ask someone to perform a divination and gather them all back for trading."

"Why are you bothering to help me? It would be easiest to exchange two gold coins for treasure and leave now," Jack said suspiciously.

Zhu Mingyao spoke at a steady pace, obviously well prepared, "That's because I not only want treasure..."

He tapped the deck with his toes, his eyes flashing, "I still want the [Black Pearl]!"

"Your appetite... is really big!" Jack muttered to himself, his eyes widening in shock at the conditions he proposed.

Zhu Mingyao smiled with his teeth exposed, "Don't panic, dear captain, I haven't finished speaking yet."

He continued to tell with his fingers: "In addition, I also want all the trophies you have obtained in the secret territory for hundreds of years, let alone none. The style of some items in those treasures can be seen from the source. on the island.

In addition, I also need all the information you know about the secret realm to facilitate our next exploration. Finally..."

Zhu Mingyao rubbed his hands with a smile, "I know that you traveled across the seven seas and saw many strange treasures, such as the Fountain of Youth and so on. Please tell me everything honestly... Ahem, tell me the clues in detail, let's see now. Can you still find it?"

The withered head opened its mouth wide with a dull look on its face, and its gums were comically exposed. It took a long time to regain its composure.

"You...your courage...is simply, how dare you speak?"

In response to his incoherent question, Zhu Mingyao just flicked his tongue playfully and flashed his eyes slyly. "Hagging and bargaining is the way to do business. In this [complicated] transaction, the lion's big mouth can prove my [sincerity], right?" He deliberately emphasized some words, as if It means something.

The withered face suddenly trembled, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, then calmed down immediately.

"What a... [terrific] boy!" He sighed inexplicably, pondered for a moment, then straightened his body and said solemnly:

"As long as you can help retrieve the gold coins and lift the curse of divine power, I can agree to all other conditions except the [Black Pearl]!" He added, wagging his fingers.

"Don't worry, I will provide you with sufficient compensation when the time comes, which will definitely exceed your imagination!" He gave him a meaningful look.

Seeing that Zhu Mingyao readily agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief and patted the deck casually.

"In the name of the sea, my life's honor, and my soul, the deal is made!"

A strange energy came around, Zhu Mingyao carefully examined it, and was surprised to find that almost all the restraints were directed at Jack himself. It was simply a unilateral unequal contract.

He glanced at Captain Jack with admiration. Although he knew it was because he was afraid that he would regret it, the method of showing sincerity in order to retreat was really clever and made people instantly feel good about him. No wonder even in the chaotic era in the original work , can also successfully obtain a group of close friends in life and death, and indeed has its own unique personality charm.

"Okay, to show your sincerity, those treasures can be paid as a deposit in advance. In addition, I will also send you an important piece of information." Jack cherishedly shook the remaining half bottle of medicinal wine.

"Want to know who is the mysterious enemy who was hiding behind the waves and chasing you?" He tapped the wine bottle with his index finger and made a long tail sound to make it clear.

Zhu Mingyao heard the elegant meaning of the song, raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, "The brewing industry has developed greatly over the past few hundred years, and there are many types of rum. How about I bring a bottle of each type next time?" ?”

"Now that I have wine, you can start telling the story..."

……

……

The vast underground space was still as quiet as ever, and every human figure was visible in the hall illuminated by bright lights.

On a brand new round alchemy table, the gorgeous game board suddenly trembled, and the inlaid leaf-shaped emeralds floated with a green light, as if the breeze was blowing through the dense forest, and the branches were dancing.

As the light blue energy flowed in the texture of the table, two ancient and yellowish bone dice suddenly jumped up, floated in the air and rolled rapidly, and finally stopped. One turquoise and four fire agate points were inlaid. up

——Five o'clock!

A ball of colored light dust suddenly rushed out from the chessboard, gradually expanded and rotated at high speed.

With a sound of "Bang!", a whirlwind of colorful lights exploded, and several figures hugged a huge long object and fell down in a strange posture.

Phew, it’s finally over. This adventure is really exciting...

Zhu Mingyao looked back at the huge ax that was being held by everyone, and felt very happy that this stupid method could actually bring the thing out...

His thoughts were turning, and he suddenly felt something strange. He raised his eyes and scanned the people around him.

There seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere...
