The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Mason, along with Zha Kang and the weak female pirate, left the Queen Anne's Revenge in the "attention ceremony" of a group of Barbossa faction pirates. When they set foot on the dock again, the crowd who had been watching actually let out a cry like a ghost. cheer.

They seemed to feel that they had witnessed a small miracle with their own eyes.

Not only did these two wizards knock on the door, they actually came back alive and brought back a "prisoner", which seemed to fully prove that these two men had great backgrounds.

So when they returned to the bamboo house on the dock, the pirates and islanders along the way took the initiative to make way for the two of them.

Mason proved with facts that it is really easy to win the respect of these "Maritime Darwinists".

When the young man walked up to the bamboo building, he reached out and picked up the cursed gold coin and put it in front of his eyes. This thing was much larger than an ordinary gold coin. It looked like a pendant-like decoration on his fingertips.

It should be gold of extremely high purity which gives it a lot of weight.

But it was made with a unique mold into a very delicate and complex look. Especially the big Aztec skull in the center of the gold coin makes this thing look evil.

The skull is surrounded by pictographic decorations similar to the pattern of sun rays, which is a typical style of South American indigenous civilization, and they generally worship the sun.

Mason stared at it, and the information label quickly popped up:

They abandoned their weakness and would not allow themselves to be taken away from their homeland again.

hint:

This cursed item works in any world where Aztec civilization exists.

"Ding"

Mason flicked his fingers.

The tumbling cursed gold coin made a crisp sound and flew into the sky across a diagonal line before landing in front of Constantine. It was then held in the hand of a knowledgeable black magician using magic power without making direct contact with the skin.

"Are you happy now?"

Mason glanced at the beaming Zha Kang and said:

"There are still 881 pieces of this thing."

"Well, now I start to really like my new job."

Constantine, who was finally in a happy mood, played with the cursed gold coin. Instead of the fear that others had when seeing it, he was filled with a unique kind of joy.

He said:

"The 882 gold coins that witnessed the collapse of the empire and the extinction of the population are enough to repay most of the 'debts' I owed when I was ignorant. But why should I do this?

This cute little thing obviously has better uses."

"I'll take some away then."

Mason said:

"The rest is at your disposal. I don't intend to give it to my team members. The cursed power on this thing will do more harm than good."

"Cool, you could be more generous, Mason."

Constantine seemed to no longer care about the small differences between the two. He whistled and said:

"I will follow you more and more willingly. If you keep being so generous, I will even support you unconditionally and sing your praises.

It's so easy to please me, Mason."

"You...aren't you going to use it to make a potion to cure the Black Death?"

After listening to the conversation between Mason and Zha Kang, the weak female pirate who was taken out of the Queen Anne's Revenge shook her body.

She pursed her lips, which were full of cracks due to lack of water, and whispered:

"Are you lying to Barbossa?"

"This girl really can't speak."

Mason glanced at her, grabbed her arm and dragged her up to the second floor. When he opened the door, he saw Catwoman doing yoga in the house.

The young man pushed her and she fell next to Selena.

"She's left to you, Selena."

The young man moved his fingers and said to Catwoman:

"I'm going 'home' and I'll be back in four days at most. Is there anything you need me to bring you?"

"I don't have enough sunscreen, the sun in this damn place is really poisonous."

Selina used a cat-tail whip to tie up the feet of the female pirate who was trying to escape and dragged her back. She said to Mason:

"By the way, bring me some cosmetics or something. Oh, by the way, I wrote a letter to Batman, explaining in detail the reason for my temporary departure, and handed it to him for me.

With his character, if I don’t take the initiative to contact him, he will definitely become suspicious.”

"I need a new jetpack, boss."

The kite man who has been responsible for collecting various supplies on Turtle Island also raised his hand and said:

"If you can, help me make a few more spares."

"What about you? John."

Mason wrote down the needs of the team members, then looked at Zha Kang who was already sitting aside and studying the cursed gold coins, and said:

"Do you need me to help you tell Xiao Zha that you are safe?"

"You're doing me a big favor by staying away from her. Remember, the farther away the better!"

Constantine threw over a folded piece of paper without looking back and said to Mason:

"This is the address of a small shop in Gotham City that specializes in selling all kinds of magic supplies. After you go there, tell me your name and help me purchase some things. The composition of these gold coins is very interesting. I want to study it carefully.

Also, bring me a few packs of cigarettes.

Just silk cards, the more the better.”

"Okay, that's it."

Mason put the notebook back in his arms, took the invisibility cloak from Catwoman and put it on his arm.

He knelt down and looked at the female pirate who was tied up with a cat-tail whip.

This lady is quite beautiful, a typical South American beauty, with a very well-proportioned figure and her years of life at sea have made her as strong as a brown leopard.

But the wind and rain also made her hair far less beautiful than Selena's. Being imprisoned by Barbossa for several days made her very weak now, and she no longer had the strength to draw the knife.

"Angelina Teach! Blackbeard's only daughter, one of Jack Sparrow's more than two hundred lovers, first mate of the Queen Anne's Revenge, who can easily live to 150 years old and die after drinking the fountain of youth. A strange woman who never ages."

Mason stared into her eyes and accurately stated her identity.

He said to the female pirate:

"My exchange of you from Barbossa means that you owe me a favor. I am not involved in the murder of your father between you and Barbossa, and your attempt to seize back the Queen Anne's Revenge has nothing to do with me. Doesn't matter.

But you have to repay this life-saving kindness.

I know that you have a Jack Sparrow voodoo doll that your father made, and I also know that your father has some knowledge about voodoo.

In the next five days, you can play sailing games with this beautiful big sister next to you. If you can give me what I want when I come back, then I will definitely give you a generous reward.

"

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the female pirate's mouth, took out a blue potion from his belt and poured it into her mouth.

The female pirate struggled and thought it was poison, but when Mason let go of her hand, she strangely felt that her weak body was quickly regaining energy.

After doing this, Mason stood up and waved goodbye to his team members and then walked to the simple door of the bamboo building. He took out the ID card of the captain of Team K with two fingers and pasted it on the door made of bamboo with the key of the world.

superior.

It was as if some kind of projection magic was activated at this moment, and a brass door handle appeared on the bamboo door in the dim light.

Mason turned the handle and pushed the door open.

As the female pirate watched in shock, the door that was supposed to lead to the beach was already covered by a swirling curtain of light. She watched Mason disappear into the curtain of light for several seconds, and did not come back to her senses until the bamboo door closed on its own initiative.

"Where did he go?"

The female pirate, who had regained some energy by the vitality potion, stood up quickly, looked at the three strange people in the room, searched for weapons that could be used, and asked:

"Are you really wizards?"

"Yes, of course we are terrible wizards."

Catwoman stepped forward.

She crossed her arms and looked at the well-established female pirate in front of her in a womanly way. After a few seconds, as if she saw an unbearable flaw, she said to Angelina:

"Your figure still has a lot of room for improvement, and your waist-to-hip ratio is almost perfect. You need to practice yoga to strengthen your advantages, but your skin is too bad and your hygiene habits are also terrible.

This seriously destroys your charm, but it doesn't matter, my sister can teach you these important knowledge in the next few days.

Charles!

Where is my ship?

The pirates of Fleet K are about to set sail!"

"Uh, Selina, our ship was destroyed by the Queen Anne's Revenge."

Kite Man spread his hands and said:

"Boss seems to have forgotten to ask Barbossa for compensation. We have no ship available now."

"Then go buy it!"

Catwoman rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips and scolded like the Queen:

"The money here is meaningless to us. Go find a pirate in the town and buy a decent ship. Didn't you hear what Mason said? We are going to find the treasure left by the big pirate Blackbeard in the next few days.

And this little girl with a mind as smart as a kitten is our best guide..."

"Snapped"

The cat-tail whip in Selena's hand whipped up, and hit the female pirate Angelina accurately on the wrist where she was secretly trying to pick up a knife. The painful lesson made the female pirate immediately calm down.

"John, are you going?"

Selina looked back at Zha Kang.

The black magician's entire attention was on the gold coins in his hand, and he said without looking back:

"No interest, go ahead, honey, men are always busy with their careers. I brought back some voodoo corpses outside, you can take them on the boat, and I will make some control symbols for you in a moment.

Do you need me to put a spell on this lady?

I feel like she is not very submissive."

"No need!"

Catwoman glanced at Angelina, who had her head lowered. She moved her fingers and showed a charming smile and said:

"I'm the best at cat training. This girl will make a great sailing kitten. I've decided that she will be the first mate of the K fleet pirate group.

Hey, little kitten, tell sister, where is the treasure your father left buried?"

Angelina glanced at Selena.

A woman's instinct told her that this beautiful sister was a very dangerous person. She did not resist but responded obediently:

"It's nearby. It can be reached in one day if there's a favorable wind, but it's in a very dangerous place. I buried it on a hill near Port-au-Prince.

That country has been completely overrun by ghouls."

"Zombies, it's a joke."

Catwoman nodded and said to Kite Man:

"Charles, my second officer, do you hear that? We are going to venture into a zombie land. Prepare heavy firepower in advance and take out all the magical potions left by Mason.

This is Team K’s first mission in this world, so we need to complete it beautifully, okay?”

"As you command, Your Excellency, Captain Black Cat."

Kite Man is very good at this kind of "role playing" game because he has followed the clown before.

He stood up and bowed politely to the captain's lady, then went out to greet the old one-eyed boatswain who was hanging out with a few women who had been taken in to buy a boat and prepare to sail.

A few hours later, at noon.

Kite Man spent a lot of money to arrange everything properly, and the fully armed Catwoman was ready to start her own adventure in this world.

Before she left, Zha Kang gave Selina the prepared Voodoo Corpse Control Talisman and whispered:

"The cooperation between Mason and Barbossa is not reliable. Be careful of pirates under his command to attack you on the way. This will force Mason to make concessions and abandon the ship if something goes wrong.

I know there is a vehicle in Charles that can take you back safely."

"Huh? When did you change your temper?"

Selina looked at Zha Kang in surprise and said:

"We have been in contact with each other before, John, this kind of proper style is not like yours, what's the matter? In just a few hours, you have become convinced of Mason?

Or is it that my little brother really has a handle on you, an old fox?

This is really strange.”

Constantine shook his head and said:

"Selena, do you feel that Mason has many secrets, such as how he knows so much about the world, and he also knows some of my secrets.

As far as I know, you are the first one of us to meet him.

We need to talk about this issue sometimes. Your Excellency Catwoman, you don’t want to see you being played by Mason and being applauded, right?”

"I think he's pretty good."

Catwoman said with a straight face:

"I trust Mason more than you, so I refuse this discussion."

"I didn't say anything bad about him. I am very satisfied with his generosity."

Zha Kang held a cigarette in his mouth and said quietly:

"But he can become very aggressive and 'dangerous' in certain situations, and I really think you have to learn a little more from the annoying Batboy sometimes.

It’s good to be kind to others, and it’s okay to make more friends, but it would be foolish not to make preparations.”

"Why worry about little Mason's aggression if you don't want to do bad things to him?"

Catwoman showed a weird smile and asked:

"And based on our current situation, shouldn't we be happier the more powerful the captain is? Keep your thoughts to yourself, John, the abacus beads are all falling off my face.

I won't do anything boring with you."

---

On the other side, in the rooftop office of the Iceberg Bar, which was being renovated in Gotham City, Mason climbed out of his suitcase, dusted himself off and looked back.

A few minutes later the suitcase was shaken and tipped over by Mason.

The door to the world that was removed from the wall of Old K's apartment also fell out, and was fixed to the wall of the office cubicle by Mason with a hammer drill.

In this way, the magic suitcase is freed up.

The young man nodded with satisfaction, picked up the suitcase, left the bar and returned to his cabin. He first spent some time making an enhanced version of the flight backpack for Kite Man.

He already knew the blueprint of this thing by heart.

But Charles can't always carry a fragile kite around to carry out missions, so Mason plans to spend some time in the future to upgrade the equipment for his confidant.

He methodically worked on engineering and alchemy for nearly three hours in the shop, and took the time to smelt some magic metal to use as materials for the next stage of engineering.

After nightfall, Mason walked out of his small shop and went to the store to buy a box of Silka cigarettes for Zha Kang. Then he hailed a taxi and followed the "Gotham gang terrain and terrain" drawn by Kite Man.

Stronghold Map" comes near the stronghold of Falcone's Italian Mafia.

He changed into a pair of inconspicuous clothes and walked around the nearby streets, figuring out the terrain before hiding in a nearby alley.

The invisibility cloak was draped over his shoulders, an exquisite little birdcage was held in his hands, a starry sky mask was fastened on his face, and he disappeared into the hazy night as soon as the silver-gray hood was lifted.

Mason glanced at the sky. The bat lights in the sky had not yet turned on, and the man's night patrol time had not yet come.

It's a good time to take action.

Gotham, the city of sin, the dark wizard who controls zombies is back!
