Chapter 25 Gypsies
Fang Senyan nodded with satisfaction after receiving his best answer. He patted the Black Widow's head like stroking a dog, then casually grabbed a bottle of rum and gave him a few sips before standing up and walking out. Watching Fang Senyan and the others leave, a hint of viciousness flashed in the Black Widow's narrow eyes.
But at this moment, Fang Senyan suddenly turned back, smiled at the Black Widow who was once again putting on a timid and fearful expression:
"I know, you must hate us to death?"
The Black Widow shook his head repeatedly and cried:
"I answer whatever you ask, and I definitely didn't lie to you!"
Fang Senyan smiled:
"Yes, I believe you didn't lie to me, everything you said is true. To be honest, you are quite cunning, but you didn't tell me that those Gypsies are very dangerous. You used the promise of selling it for two or three times the price to lure me, hoping that I would go directly to them and die there, right?"
The Black Widow's face turned green instantly, he was still desperately struggling:
"I didn't, I really didn't!"
Fang Senyan narrowed his eyes and smiled, just like he did in the real world when he watched a net full of jumping fish being pulled up:
"Then are all the pirates in Tortuga fools? Why don't they go directly to the Gypsies to buy if they can make more money? Why let those big shops make a profit? The only explanation is that only those big shops have the strength and confidence to trade with the Gypsies, to avoid being robbed!"
Then Fang Senyan said lightly to the Black Widow:
"Although you have bad intentions, I will leave you a whole corpse since you did provide me with information."
The Black Widow's eyes were about to split, and he roared:
"You will die a horrible death!"
Canby rushed up, grabbed his chin and twisted, and with a *kacha* sound, he easily and happily snapped the guy's neck. The four of them swaggered away, and not a single customer came out to stop them. The black guy casually took out a heavy money bag and tossed it a few times, inside which all the gold pounds were jingling, obviously having looted the bar on the way out.
But at this moment, the four received a notification:
"You have killed Barbosa's henchmen in Tortuga and looted Barbosa's shop."
"Your relationship with Barbosa has become an irreconcilable enemy."
"Hidden main mission: Curse has been triggered."
"Mission Description: Barbosa and his extremely ferocious subordinates are still crew members on the Black Pearl, constantly thinking about removing the curse on themselves and collecting the gold coins scattered throughout the Caribbean. So they don't have much time to trouble you. However, soon after, the curse on the entire Black Pearl will be lifted. Then, you must be prepared to face the pursuit of the sailors on the Black Pearl."
"Mission Objective: Secretly obtain an Aztec gold coin that caused the curse on the Black Pearl, so that Barbosa cannot lift his curse."
"Hint: You must keep this Aztec gold coin for at least three days. After three days, each additional day will increase the mission completion rating, with a maximum of one week."
"Mission Completion Deadline: One month. After reaching the mission deadline, you can purchase an additional mission completion deadline at a price of 10,000 Universal Points/day, but the extension is limited to seven days. After seven days, it will be completely declared a failure."
"Mission Failure Penalty: You will be hunted by the pirates on the Black Pearl for a week, and your income in this world will be deducted."
"Warning: The current mission you have may conflict with the missions of some contractors."
"It's here!" Fang Senyan thought to himself. This is indeed a very difficult mission, indeed enough for a B+ rating. At the current time node, all the Aztec gold coins are stored in only two places in this world:
The vast majority of these things are in the chest in Barbosa's lair, Isla de Muerta, and the other gold coin is kept close to the body of the governor's daughter, Elizabeth.
If outsiders want to go to Barbosa's lair, Isla de Muerta, then the most convenient and quickest way is to get the magical prop in Jack Sparrow's hands: the compass that doesn't point north, the difficulty of which goes without saying.
And getting Elizabeth, this beautiful woman, and then getting the gold coin may seem harmless, but don't forget a saying: Men conquer the world, women conquer men:
This beautiful governor's daughter has only conquered two people, the powerful son of a pirate, the future captain of the Flying Dutchman, Will Turner.
And Commodore Norrington, who is about to be promoted.
The former is good at one-on-one fights, while the latter is good at group fights... and if you dare to plot against her. These two people are likely to join forces to make you wish you were dead.
"Oh, damn." The black guy shrugged, he seemed to react greatly: "This is really bad news, but the good news is that we finally don't have to rush anymore, to hell with those Gypsies who are about to leave."
Fang Senyan suddenly said: "Precisely because of this, we must find them!"
After this commotion, time seemed even more pressing. At this time, several more merchant ships docked, and the flow of people in Tortuga seemed even more turbulent. Fang Senyan and the others hurriedly squeezed among these people, trying to rush towards the hillside next to them.
There, you could see brightly colored caravans, unique pointed tents, strong bohemian-style decorations, and a blazing bonfire illuminating the surroundings. Some people were busy moving various things. Many women wearing headscarves and veils of various colors were also mixed in.
It can be seen that most of the Gypsy men don't seem to be doing well. They wear tattered and torn long pants, usually gray or chestnut, and some places even reveal flesh with scabies. They hang thick ropes on their shoulders and pull hard.
For these men, once they pass the age of thirty, their appearance enters the sixty-year-old range, making it difficult to judge their exact age. Their heads are often covered with brown woolen hats or stained felt hats, but once uncovered, you will see large patches of baldness caused by a lack of vitamins. Sunken eye sockets indicate that their nutritional status is not very good.
Obviously, judging from the current situation, it is already very lucky if the pirates in Tortuga don't bully these Gypsies. There is absolutely nothing that would make the pirates afraid. However, if the danger is in plain sight, then the threat is not too great. Fang Senyan therefore increased his vigilance.
Fang Senyan suddenly remembered the crystal ball that "Zi" had used in battle before, which could predict the enemy's actions in the next few seconds. He wondered if it was also obtained from the Gypsies. After all, divination and crystal balls are their specialties.
At this time, the four had entered the depths of the Gypsy camp. Canby stopped a ragged man, tossed him a five-shilling silver coin, and said boldly:
"Hey, buddy, I heard that the wandering Gypsies are knowledgeable and can appraise anything?"
The man took the silver coin, looked at them warily, and then said in a hoarse voice:
"Go away! Before you are noticed!"
Canby was stunned, but the man had already walked away. After hearing this, Fang Senyan couldn't help but feel a strong sense of mystery rising from his back, but without a doubt, they had no room to turn back at this time. After reminding the black guy and Reef, he said:
"We're going there."
In the center of the camp, there was the largest colorful tent. A pennant was also flying on the top of the tent. The flag was painted with a clown smeared with bright lipstick, who happened to be doing a handstand, which looked very strange.
The chaos in the camp couldn't affect Fang Senyan's pace, but Fang Senyan also noticed that the Gypsy men around were looking at them with pity or sadness. When they walked to within twenty meters of the tent, a middle-aged woman wearing a black headscarf walked over, looked at them and said:
"Outsiders, do you know that you have violated our Gypsy customs? What are you doing here?"
Canby repeated the previous dialogue. The middle-aged woman said expressionlessly:
"Wait here."
Saying that, she turned and entered the tent, and then quickly came out of it, saying coldly:
"Jie Jie (Gypsy's respectful title for the leader, similar to boss, president, etc.) said, I will be the one to receive you."
Fang Senyan and the others only wanted to complete the main mission smoothly, and did not care about this kind of neglect. The previous matter had been explained to Canby clearly, so he nodded and let Canby deal with them, and the four of them would just observe the situation.
Canby took out a small black cloth bag from his arms, and then opened it. Inside, what was contained was actually the seeds of the giant kelp offered to Fang Senyan by "Black Sails", one by one. At this time, under the light of the fire, the surface actually showed a blue-black metallic luster, which looked very strange.
Fang Senyan had previously speculated that if the Gypsies were an important part of the hidden mission, then the items related to the giant kelp and the monster were likely to be the key props to trigger the mission, so he would take out the seeds here to test it out.
The Gypsy woman in the black headscarf saw this thing, her face changed drastically, and she immediately reached out to take it. Canby rudely pushed her away with a slap, and said viciously:
"I don't seem to have ever allowed you to touch it!" ro@.
