Save the Bachelor of Heaven

The next day, Jack said goodbye to the mermaids and prepared to return to the Black Pearl.

Although the Mermaid Kingdom is a gentle place with fine wine, delicious food, beautiful women, singing and dancing, he always felt that the Black Pearl was his home.

"Take me back, James." Jack said to Xiang Nan, "I remember that when I left the Black Pearl, I forgot to drop the anchor, and I don't know where it is now. If it hits a reef and sinks, it will be even more troublesome."

"Don't worry, no matter where it drifts, I can take you back." Xiang Nan smiled, then grabbed Jack's arm, and with a phantom, he took Jack back to the Black Pearl.

"It seems that you really can't bear to kill Barbossa." Xiang Nan looked at the Black Pearl and said with a smile.

Jack nodded.

After he went out to sea on the Queen Anne's Revenge, he soon found Barbossa's Black Pearl under the guidance of the wish compass.

He took advantage of the dark night to launch a sneak attack. While the crew were resting, he drove the Queen Anne's Revenge slowly approached, then controlled the Black Pearl with the Sword of Triton, and hung up all the crew members with ropes.

Including his old enemy Hector Barbossa.

After being captured, Barbossa was very tough and took all the crimes by himself.

"Jack, I instigated the crew's betrayal, and it was also me who exiled you to the deserted island. If you want revenge, take revenge on me alone and spare the others." He said loudly to Jack.

Barbossa was a qualified captain. Although he always scolded the crew and told them to hurry up and work and not be lazy, he also loved his crew members.

When he released Calibuso in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, his request was to ask the goddess of the sea to forgive him and his crew; when he negotiated with Salazar in Pirates of the Caribbean 5, he also asked Salazar not to kill his crew...

Jack didn't kill Barbossa in the end, but gave him the Queen Anne's Revenge as Xiang Nan said, and he just went back to the Black Pearl.

"That's not surprising, after all, you are old partners." Xiang Nan smiled.

According to Pirates of the Caribbean Prequel, Jack knew Barbossa when he was very young, and then the two of them went on adventures together, traveled across the four oceans, and experienced countless life and death difficulties together...So if he really wanted to kill him, he really couldn't do it.

"Don't think of me as so weak, I just let him go temporarily." Jack said arrogantly, "And if I couldn't drive two ships myself, I would definitely not give him the Queen Anne's Revenge."

"You're right." Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, I wish you a good time, I'm going back to Atlantis."

...

Xiang Nan then returned to Atlantis.

"Thank you, priest, for letting us regain our freedom." The mermaids said gratefully.

"You're welcome. You are all descendants of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the people of Colibuso, the goddess of the sea. You deserve his protection." Xiang Nan said, "From now on, you must regain your faith in Colibuso, and I will guide you back to the arms of God."

"Yes, priest." The mermaids nodded.

Xiang Nan then built a temple of Colibuso in the city of Atlantis, and then held the first sacrifice for these mermaids.

"Great goddess of the sea, Colibuso, please bless these mermaids and let them have a rich, peaceful, happy and safe life." Xiang Nan led the mermaids to pray.

"As long as you believe in me devoutly, I will protect you and give you the life you want." Colibuso said to the mermaids through the crystal ball.

The mermaids were immediately overjoyed and very happy.

After the sacrifice, Xiang Nan stayed in Atlantis, continued to read books, and asked the mermaids about the things in ancient times.

In ancient times, Atlantis was once very developed and very powerful. Even the gods of Mount Olympus could not cover their edge.

Unfortunately, the gods were too jealous. Atlantis was finally punished by the gods. The earth shook, the sea water poured back, and the whole city fell into the sea.

Tens of millions of Atlanteans died, and only more than 20,000 people were left. It can be said that they suffered a devastating blow. It is precisely because of this that the Atlantis civilization declined sharply.

Just like the Mongolian country, during the Genghis Khan period, the Mongolian army was very well equipped, even equipped with hot weapons such as artillery, rockets, and muskets. They fought all the way to the Danube River, swept half of the world, and were invincible.

But during the Ming Dynasty, after the Mongolians were driven back to the grassland, they couldn't even make iron pots. Due to the lack of iron tools, the army could only use stone arrowheads, which was almost like a return to primitive society.

"It was really terrible, there were earthquakes and floods everywhere... I couldn't even imagine it." The elder of the Mermaid Kingdom said to Xiang Nan.

"Didn't Poseidon resist?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"Why not? He and his wife Amphitrite, his son Triton and others fought against the gods, but unfortunately they were still defeated." The elder shook his head.

"Where are they now? Are they dead or alive?" Xiang Nan asked again in confusion.

"How can we know about the gods? It's just that thousands of years have passed, and they have never appeared again. Only the goddess of the sea, Colibuso, protects us." The elder shook his head.

"In addition to the Trident of Poseidon and the Sword of Triton, do you have other artifacts in Atlantis?" Xiang Nan asked curiously again.

The elder shook his head, "If there were other artifacts, we wouldn't have been bullied by the gill people and sea giants for so long."

"What are the origins of the gill people and sea giants?" Xiang Nan asked curiously again.

"The gill people have fish heads, human bodies, and are covered with fish scales. They are monsters we created before. They were originally used to mine ore in the sea, but they turned around to retaliate against us;

The sea giants are descendants of the giants. They are huge, up to 20 to 30 meters tall, and have infinite strength. It is difficult for us to compete with them." The elder explained.

"Okay, I and the goddess of the sea, Kolibuso, will protect you." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "If the gill people and sea giants come to attack you, notify me in time, and I will help you teach them a lesson."

"Thank you, priest!" Hearing him say this, the mermaids were very happy.

Xiang Nan then left the elder with parchment for communication. If the gill people and sea giants invaded Atlantis, notify him in time, and he would rush to rescue them as soon as possible.

Xiang Nan's behavior naturally won him the favor of the mermaids.

Many mermaids took the initiative to flirt with him.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan was their savior, who rescued them from the tyrant Tangla; on the other hand, Xiang Nan himself was also a very charming person. Moreover, they had lived in the sea for thousands of years, and it was really too lonely.

However, Xiang Nan did not respond to them, but continued to stay in the library to read.
