Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Chapter 4430 4432 [Ponce de Leon]

Xiang Nan was stunned, then looked at Captain Jack in confusion, "You mean, are you willing to lend me the compass?"

"Of course I am willing." Captain Jack nodded immediately.

The wish compass can help him point to the things he desires most in his heart, but he has no ship or people now, and can only be trapped on this island of Tetuga. It is like having the skills to slay dragons, but there is no dragon to slay.

So he is willing to rent it out, 500 pounds a month, and in half a year, he can save up 3,000 pounds. At that time, he can buy a ship, set sail, find the Black Pearl, and avenge Barbossa.

"How much do you want to add?" Xiang Nan asked again.

"Since we are friends, I will give you a discount, 750 pounds a month, what do you think?" Captain Jack asked tentatively.

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "But let's make it clear first, I want to rent it for half a year, and I will return it to you after half a year."

"Then it's settled." Captain Jack nodded, and then handed the wish compass to Xiang Nan, "Use it well, and don't lose it, otherwise you will owe me a lot of money."

"Don't worry, I will never lose it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I swear to you that I will return it to you intact after half a year."

...

After getting the wish compass, Xiang Nan immediately set off for Bailang Bay.

He flew to Bailang Bay quickly with his sword, and under the guidance of the wish compass, he easily found the Santiago on the cliff.

This ship was Ponce de Leon's car. He once drove this ship and traveled all over the world, making a very high reputation.

Compared with this well-known navigator, Captain Jack seems a little unknown.

But now this ship that has been recorded in history has lost its former glory. Not only is it dilapidated, but it is also in a dangerous situation.

Half of its body is hanging outside the cliff, and the other half is hanging inside the cliff, so it is shaky and may fall apart at any time.

Xiang Nan knew that at this moment, the Santiago had two silver cups needed to sacrifice the Fountain of Youth.

When using the Fountain of Youth, you need to use these two silver cups to catch the Fountain of Youth water, put the mermaid's tears in one of the cups, and then give the two cups of Fountain of Youth water to two people to drink.

The person who drinks the cup of water containing the mermaid's tears will not only gain the remaining life of the other person, but also heal the injuries suffered.

So if you want to find the Fountain of Youth, you must have these two silver cups, otherwise it will be useless even if you find the Fountain of Youth.

Xiang Nan flew to the front of the Santiago ship, and then performed the Great Shift of the Universe, wrapped the entire ship with true qi, and lifted it up.

Although the hull weighs more than ten tons, it is as light as a feather to Xiang Nan. After lifting it, Xiang Nan gently put it back on the ground. In this way, there is no need to worry about it falling off the cliff.

Then, Xiang Nan walked into the Santiago and saw countless gold, silver and jewelry piled up in the entire cabin. Although more than two hundred years have passed, it still shines brightly.

This is no wonder. Ponce de Leon once followed Columbus on a journey around the world and was one of the first colonists to arrive in the New World. He was also the governor of Puerto Rico, Florida and Bimini Islands. It is not surprising that he has such a huge fortune.

Xiang Nan ignored these treasures for the time being, but came all the way to the captain's room, and saw that the jewels piled up in the captain's room were more and more exquisite than the treasures piled up in the cargo hold.

Gold cups, silver plates, diamonds, gems... It's simply dazzling, each one is a fine product, and each one is worth at least thousands of pounds.

There is also a large bed in the captain's room, and a long-dried skeleton is lying on the bed. It is the Spanish adventurer Ponce de Leon.

He was determined to find the Fountain of Youth, so he led his crew several times to drive the San Diego to Florida for exploration, and eventually died here.

But Xiang Nan did not find any traces of his crew members. No bodies were seen on the decks or in the cargo hold outside, and there was only Ponce de Leon on the entire ship.

"Could it be that he sacrificed all his crew members?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but guess, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was reasonable.

After Ponce de Leon found the Fountain of Youth, he would not fail to use it. He sacrificed his crew members, which could not only take their lives, but also keep the secret for himself, so that he could dominate the Fountain of Youth.

As a result, because of his perverse behavior, although the crew members were killed, Ponce de Leon was also betrayed and eventually died alone on the San Diego.

Some crew members escaped by chance and leaked the secret of the Fountain of Youth, so it was recorded in the "Mao Kun Tu", and Blackbeard Edward Teach and Captain Jack's father Teague Sparrow knew the relevant information.

…

Xiang Nan then walked to the bed and took out a wooden box from Ponce de Leon's arms. When he opened it, there were indeed two silver cups inlaid with gemstones.

The cups were carefully crafted, very luxurious and beautiful, and there were several characters engraved on each cup, which read together in ancient Greek for "Fountain of Life".

Xiang Nan put away the silver cups, then took out the leather bag, opened the bag, and then cast a spell, "Treasures fly~"

In a moment, all the treasures of the Santiago poured into his leather bag.

This batch of treasures is priceless. According to Barbossa, "it is more than the wealth that forty pirate companies dream of getting rich in forty nights."

It can be said that this is a huge fortune.

After taking the treasure, Xiang Nan flew back to Bailang Bay on his sword.

Then he relit the lighthouse in Bailang Bay. This lighthouse was built by British colonists to guide the passing ships.

However, since Bailang Bay is the territory of mermaids, they will seduce and prey on passing ships, killing many sailors for this. Therefore, people gradually regard it as a taboo place, and would rather go around than pass through Bailang Bay.

The lighthouse was abandoned and lost its original light. However, to attract mermaids in the deep sea, this lighthouse must be lit.

Otherwise, mermaids in the deep sea will not come out to hunt rashly without knowing that there are ships passing by.

Xiang Nan came to the lighthouse and lit the remaining whale oil in the lamp.

This oil comes from whales, which is not only resistant to burning but also bright. Before the value of oil was discovered, it was one of the most popular oils.

Therefore, there have always been whalers in history, and at most tens of thousands of whales can be hunted in a year.

It was not until the 20th century that whaling activities gradually decreased around the world with the widespread use of oil and people's protection of animals and plants.

The lighthouse then shone brightly, and a beam of light hit the sea directly.

Xiang Nan also came to the sea and began to hum a song softly,

"Hello darkness my old friend.

I've come to talk with you again.

Because a vision softly creeping

Left its seeds while I was sleeping.

...

silence, like a cancer, grows

Hear my words that I might teach you

Take my arms that I might reach you

But my words, like silent raindrops fell"
