Chapter 32 Dragging the Royal Navy into the Water

The atmosphere became awkward. Elizabeth really didn't expect Ethan to know this. His hand holding the gold coins became a little unnatural, as if it was uncomfortable to put it anywhere.

"Of course, it would be best if this problem could be solved today."

Ethan provides a suitable step to skip the issue of the original belonging of the gold coins.

"And as far as I know, that person is not the real owner of this gold coin."

Elizabeth sat silent for a moment, and suddenly asked what this thing was for. She still couldn't suppress her curiosity in her heart and wanted to know the truth.

Judging from her attitude, it seemed that she would not give up without saying that she would not give up. Ethan simply explained the situation roughly.

When Elizabeth heard that once this thing touched the sea, it would be sensed by a group of pirates cursed by treasures, some people didn't believe it, and it looked like they were treating Ethan as a guy who deceived children.

"I have already told you about the situation. As for whether you believe it or not, I will ignore it." Ethan saw that Elizabeth just put the gold coins in his hand without holding it tightly, and reached out and moved his fingers gently. The very skilled mage's hand who had practiced started silently, and took the gold coins from Elizabeth's hand directly over.

The strange scene that suddenly happened scared Elizabeth so much that she was stunned for a while. She suddenly remembered that she was almost suffocated to death by the shapeshirt yesterday. She was suddenly relieved after walking to Ethan in a confused manner.

After returning home, she checked it out and found that the rope buckle behind the body shaping suit was loosened a little. She thought it was stretched open by herself. Now it seems...

Elizabeth is not stupid, and she can even be evaluated by intelligence. Sometimes she looks silly and sweet purely because she is not old and has insufficient experience and knowledge. This does not mean that she is not aware of some things with clear clues.

"It was you yesterday!"

"No need to thank you, I've always been helpful."

Elizabeth's face turned red. I don't know if it was angry or something else, Ethan checked the Aztec gold coins back and forth in his hand. He didn't notice it before, and only then did he feel the secret fluctuations coming from the gold coins when he took it.

This kind of fluctuation is quite strange. Ethan couldn't explain what its nature was, so he could only conclude that this thing was the real thing he wanted.

"What kind of reward do you want in return?" This behavior is a bit like a forced buying and selling, but Ethan is no longer planning to continue wasting time here.

"I didn't agree to sell the gold coins to you!"

Looking at Ethan's appearance, he knew that the gold coins could not be taken back, so Elizabeth decisively made her request.

"But I can bring gold coins with you..."

Ethan waved his hand to refuse. This girl was not a calm person. She didn't know how many times she had ever gone out to sea to take risks, to see real pirates, and so on. She often regarded the plots she had seen as truth, and brought her with her was purely causing trouble for herself.

"I can ask my father to arrange a warship." Elizabeth seemed determined to join in the fun, and did not hesitate to cheat his father for this: "If you want to find those pirates, you always need a good ship, right?"

Of course Ethan needed a boat, but in fact he had not solved this problem. He said he could buy it, but someone had to sell it. Although there were many ships parked here in Port Royal, they all had their own owners, and it was not so easy to buy it. As for buying a new boat at the shipyard? He didn't know what year it would take to wait until his ship left the factory. He was really a little troubled with this problem.

"warship?"

As the governor of Port Royal, although Swan could not directly command the Royal Navy in name, it was not a big deal to mobilize a warship to wipe out a group of pirates, and Brigadier General Norrington had no reason to object.

"You reminded me that using a warship is indeed a good idea."

He had opposed Jack's use of the intercept because Jack was preparing to steal the warship. Now it's different, he wants the Royal Navy to cooperate with his actions.

Brigadier General Norrington seemed to have no need to object, and it was in his own interests to destroy the pirates themselves. If a soldier wants to go further, he needs countless merits to accumulate, and the easiest thing is to make military achievements.

The best military achievements in the Caribbean are to clear the pirates and ensure the interests of the British Empire in this area.

Elizabeth looked at Ethan in deep thought and did not disturb him, but thought about how to make the other party agree to take her with her. She didn't want to miss such an interesting thing, and at the same time she wanted to see what the so-called cursed pirate looked like. Did this guy make it up to tease her?

Ethan thought this idea was very interesting, and Jack would definitely be pulled onto the ship by himself. The pirates who would have been captured by Norrington will now stand openly among the Royal Navy...

It's fun to do it, but it's probably not that easy to do it.

What's more, the girl in front of her was also making small plans, and she would inevitably suddenly run out to cause trouble.

"But there should be no big problem."

He didn't want to take him with him before, because he and Jack had no time to take care of her. If Norrington really convinced him to send a warship to deal with the Black Pearl, he wouldn't mention whether this girl could pass her father's level. Even if she was really caught on board, Brigadier General Norrington would worry about her safety issues, and it wouldn't be his turn to worry about it.

"If you can help me convince Brigadier General Norrington, and your father doesn't object..."

After hearing Ethan say this, Elizabeth suddenly felt that she had endless energy. After living for so many years, she seemed to have never been more energetic than today.

"Trade!" Elizabeth, who was in an excited state, finally remembered the methods Ethan used before, so he asked the doubts in his heart: "How did you do it just now?"

"magic."

"Magic?" Elizabeth still didn't believe it, but what he heard and saw today seemed very magical, and magic seemed to be nothing unacceptable: "It's really magic?"

Ethan nodded.

“Can I learn?”

This is not the first time Ethan heard someone want to learn magic, and he didn't find it strange. Wasn't he the same? He understood Elizabeth's feelings at this time very well and looked at it seriously: "If it were just some simple little spells, you should be able to learn it."

"What's the meaning?"

"That is, you can't go too far on the road of magic." Elizabeth's mental power is very ordinary, similar to Ethan's situation at the beginning. Considering that she does not have Ethan's constant use of pointers to exercise her mental power control, her talent in magic is far less than Ethan's original talent.

In this case, you may be able to learn some basic knowledge by learning magic by the accumulation of time and the knowledge that Ethan has mastered, but it is basically impossible to become a magician. Of course, if Ethan is willing to invest a lot of energy and a lot of rare resources to cultivate her, then nothing is impossible.

Elizabeth didn't feel anything wrong with this. If magic was so easy to learn, she would feel abnormal. It seemed that this answer was in line with her understanding of magic in her heart.

"Where did you learn magic?"

"Because of some adventures, I met several masters on the journey." From Ancient One to Akara, Isandra, Zul and Merlin, the people who helped him lay the magic foundation were more powerful. Looking at these names, it is really normal for Ethan to have his current achievements.

"How many...?" Elizabeth was speechless about this. Who is this person? He met a master during his trip... and there is more than one? Is it so easy to encounter a master of magic? Why haven't she seen any of her? Even before today, she always believed that magic only exists in the story.

In the following conversation, Elizabeth kept asking like a curious baby, and Ethan chose to answer some unimportant questions.

He should have left after getting the gold coins, but because he suddenly wanted to pull the Royal Navy in, Ethan continued to stay here and wait for Governor Swan to return.

Fortunately, Governor Swan didn't ask him to wait too long. Governor Swann who went home for lunch was a little surprised when he saw Ethan, especially when he found out that this young man was chatting with his daughter.

Through the butler's "reliable news", Ethan came in the morning and talked to Elizabeth in the living room until now.

Although as the father's Governor Swan, he admires Brigadier General Norrington, who is successful in his career, thinks that for his daughter is a good destination. However, he still maintains a relatively open-minded attitude towards how to choose his daughter. But the subsequent conversation seemed a little different from what he had expected before?

"Pirates? Black Pearl?" The Black Pearl exists between legends and facts in the Caribbean. People who are in the position of Governor Swan know that it is real, but because they come and go without a trace, and the captain's actions are particularly ruthless and there is almost no trace left, the Royal Navy has not taken action against it. Some soldiers at the bottom think that the Black Pearl is just a legend.

"You want to capture them?"

Governor Swan began to wonder, was this Ethan actually carrying out what mission was this mission when he came to Port Royal?

"It's more accurate to say it's extermination?" The real purpose is to exchange Jack Sparrow's trust and subsequent help, but there is no need to explain this to Governor Swan. There is only one thing to emphasize: "In addition, I need the Black Pearl to do something, so the pirates above can be killed, and the ship must be preserved intact."

When talking about this kind of thing, Weatherby Swan restored the attitude a governor should have, and did not directly agree or make any promises. He just said that military operations like this must be carefully discussed with Brigadier General Norrington, the military chief of Port Royal, before making a decision.
