Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 7 You stay here and don't move. I'll go launch a biochemical crisis and come back.
Mason, Zha Kang and the weak female pirate left the Queen Anne's Revenge in the "attention" of a group of Barbossa's pirates. When they stepped onto the dock again, the crowd who had been watching actually cheered like ghosts and wolves.
They seemed to feel that they had witnessed a miracle of some magnitude.
Not only did these two wizards go to the enemy's house to attack, they also came back alive and brought back a "prisoner", which seems to fully prove that these two people are of great importance.
Therefore, when they returned to the bamboo house at the dock, the pirates and islanders along the way took the initiative to make way for the two of them.
Mason proved that it was really easy to win the respect of these "maritime Darwinists" .
As the young man walked up to the bamboo building, he reached out and picked up the cursed gold coin and placed it in front of his eyes. This thing was much larger than ordinary gold coins, and it looked like a pendant-like ornament when placed on his fingertips.
It must be the extremely high purity of gold that makes it so heavy.
But it was made into a very delicate and complex appearance using a unique mold, especially the big Aztec skull in the center of the gold coin, which makes this thing look evil.
The skull is surrounded by hieroglyphic decorations that resemble sunrays, a typical style of South American indigenous civilization, who generally worship the sun.
Mason stared at it, and soon an information tag popped up:
Aztec Cursed Coin/Oathbreaker Coin/Devil Coin
Quality: Excellent cursed item, excellent craftsmanship
Effect: Causes the person touched to acquire the cursed [Undead] form, in which their vitality is locked and they will not encounter death (except for attacks with purification power). At the same time, they will suffer increasing mental pressure until they go completely insane.
The curse can be lifted by returning the gold coin stained with the holder's blood to the cursed chest.
This item can be used as a spellcasting tool.
Producers: Montezuma II, Hernando Coster
Item Description: They hold the hope of praying for peace, but are ultimately tainted with death due to the shameless betrayal of the Oathbreakers. The resentment of the dead is attached to the gold coins. They have abandoned their weakness and will no longer allow themselves to be taken away from their homeland.
hint:
This cursed item works in any world where the Aztec civilization exists.
"Ding"
Mason snapped his fingers.
The tumbling cursed gold coins made a crisp sound and flew into the sky, drawing an oblique line and falling in front of Constantine, but were caught in the hand of the knowledgeable black magician with magic power so that it did not come into direct contact with the skin.
"Are you happy now?"
Mason glanced at the grinning Zha Kang and said:
"There are still 881 of these."
"Well, I'm starting to really like my new job now."
Constantine, finally in a good mood, played with the cursed gold coin. He did not feel the fear that others felt when they saw it, but instead was filled with a unique joy.
He said:
"The 882 gold coins that witnessed the collapse of the empire and the extinction of the species are enough for me to repay most of the 'debts' I owed when I was ignorant. But why should I do this?
This cute little thing obviously has a much better use.”
"I'll take some away when the time comes."
Mason said:
"The rest is at your disposal. I don't intend to hand it over to my team. The cursed power on this thing can do more harm than good."
"Cool, you could be more generous, Mason."
Constantine seemed to no longer care about the minor disagreement between the two. He whistled and said:
"I will be more and more willing to follow you. If you continue to be so generous, I will even support you unconditionally and sing praises for you.
It's so easy to please me, Mason."
"You...you guys are 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 brought out from the Queen Anne's Revenge shook her body.
She pursed her lips, which were cracked due to lack of water, and whispered:
"You guys are lying to Barbossa?"
"This girl really can't speak."
Mason glanced at her, grabbed her arm and dragged her up to the second floor, pushed open the door and saw Catwoman doing yoga in the house.
The young man pushed her and made her fall next to Selena.
"She's in your hands, Selina."
The young man flexed his fingers and said to Catwoman:
"I'm going 'home' and will be back in four days at most. Is there anything you need me to bring you?"
"I don't have enough sunscreen. The sun is so strong in this damn place."
Selina waved the cat-tail whip, tied 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 why I’m away temporarily, please give it to him for me.
Given his personality, if I don’t take the initiative to contact him again, he will definitely get suspicious.”
"I need a new jetpack, boss."
The kite flyer who had been in charge of collecting various supplies on Turtle Island also raised his hand and said:
"If possible, please make a few more for me."
"What about you, John?"
Mason noted the team members' needs, and then looked at Zha Kang who was already sitting aside and studying the cursed gold coins. He said:
"Do you need me to tell Xiao Zha that you are safe?"
"You're doing me a big favor by staying away from her. Remember, the farther the better!"
Constantine threw a folded paper over to Mason without even turning his head, and said:
"This is the address of a small shop in Gotham City that specializes in selling all kinds of magic supplies. When you get there, tell me your name and help me buy some things. The composition of these gold coins is very interesting. I want to study them carefully.
Also, bring me a few packs of cigarettes.
Just silk card, the more the better."
"Okay, that's it."
Mason put the notebook back into his arms, then took the invisibility cloak from Catwoman and put it on his arm.
He squatted down and looked at the female pirate who was tied up with a cat tail whip.
The lady was quite pretty, a typical South American beauty with a very well-proportioned figure. Years of life at sea had made her as agile as a brown leopard.
But the wind and rain made her hair not as charming as Selina's. Being locked up by Barbossa for several days made her very weak and she didn't even have the strength to draw her sword.
"Angelina Teach! Blackbeard's only daughter, one of Jack Sparrow's more than 200 lovers, the first mate of the Queen Anne's Revenge, a woman who drank the Fountain of Youth and could easily live to 150 years old and would not age before death."
Mason looked into her eyes and accurately revealed her identity.
He said to the pirate girl:
"I bought you back from Barbossa because you owe me a favor. I will not be involved in the patricide between you and Barbossa, and your attempt to take back the Queen Anne's Revenge has nothing to do with me.
But you have to repay this life-saving favor.
I know you have a Jack Sparrow voodoo doll that your father made, and I also know your father has some knowledge of 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, I will definitely give you a generous reward. "
As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the female pirate's mouth, then pulled out a blue potion from his belt and poured it into her mouth.
The female pirate struggled, thinking it was poison, but when Mason let go of her hand, she strangely felt that her weak body was recovering energy rapidly.
After doing this, Mason stood up, waved goodbye to his team members, and walked to the simple door of the bamboo building. He pinched out the identity card of the captain of Team K with two fingers and stuck the Key of the World on the bamboo door.
As if some kind of projection magic was activated at this moment, a brass door handle appeared on the bamboo door in the dim light.
Mason twisted the handle and pushed the door open.
As the female pirate watched in shock, a swirling curtain of light appeared outside the door that should have led to the beach. She watched Mason disappear in the curtain of light for several seconds before she came to her senses when the bamboo door closed automatically.
"Where did he go?"
The female pirate, who had regained some energy from the vitality potion, stood up swiftly and looked at the three strange people in the room. While searching for weapons that could be used, she asked:
"Are you really wizards?"
"Yes, of course we are terrible wizards."
Catwoman stepped forward.
She folded her arms and looked at the female pirate in front of her in a woman's way. After a few seconds, as if she had seen an unbearable flaw, she said to Angelina:
"Your figure still has a lot of room for improvement. Your waist-to-hip ratio is almost perfect. You need to practice yoga to enhance your advantages, but your skin is too bad and your hygiene habits are terrible.
This seriously destroys your charm, but it doesn’t matter, your sister can teach you these important knowledge in the next few days.
Charles!
Where's my ship?
The pirates of Fleet K are about to set sail!"
"Uh, Selina, our ship was destroyed by the Queen Anne's Revenge."
The kite flyer spread his hands and said:
"It seems the boss forgot to ask Barbossa for compensation. We have no ships 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. Let's go to the town and find a pirate to buy a decent ship. Didn't you hear what Mason said? We are going to find the treasure left by the great pirate Blackbeard in the next few days.
And this little girl with a heart as thoughtful as a kitten is our best guide..."
"Snapped"
Selina swung the cat-tail whip in her hand and accurately hit the wrist of the female pirate Angelina as she was trying to secretly pick up a knife. The painful little lesson made the female pirate immediately calm down.
"John, are you going?"
Selina looked back at Zha Kang.
The black magician's full attention was on the gold coins in his hand. He said without turning his head:
"Not interested, go ahead, baby, men always have to be busy with their careers. I brought back a few voodoo corpses outside that you can take on board, and I'll make a few control talismans for you in a while.
Do you want me to put a spell on this lady?
I don’t think she’s very submissive.”
“No need!”
Catwoman glanced at Angelina who was looking down. She flexed her fingers and smiled charmingly.
“As for training cats, I’m the best at it. This girl will make a great seafaring kitten. I’ve decided that she will be the first mate of the K Fleet Pirates.
Hey, little cat, tell me, where is the treasure your father left behind buried? "
Angelina glanced at Selina.
The woman's instinct told her that this beautiful sister was a very dangerous person. She did not resist but replied obediently:
“It’s nearby, and with a favorable wind you can get there in a day, but it’s in a very dangerous place, and I buried it on a hilltop near Port-au-Prince.
That country has been completely overrun by ghouls."
"Zombies, no big deal."
Catwoman nodded and said to Kite Man:
"Charles, my second mate, do you hear me? We are going to an adventure in a zombie land. Prepare heavy firepower in advance and take out all the magic potions left by Mason.
This is Team K's first mission in this world, so we need to complete it beautifully, OK?"
"As you command, Captain Black Cat."
Because Kite Man had followed the Joker before, he was very good at this kind of "role-playing" game.
He stood up and bowed politely to the captain's wife, then walked out to call on the old one-eyed boatswain who was hanging out with a few taken-in women to buy a boat and prepare to set sail.
A few hours later, it was noon.
Kite Man spent a lot of money to arrange everything, and the fully armed Catwoman was ready to start her adventure in this world.
Before she left, Zha Kang gave Selina the voodoo corpse control talisman and whispered:
"The cooperation between Mason and Barbossa is not reliable. Be careful of his pirates who may attack you on the way to force Mason to make concessions. If things go wrong, abandon the ship.
I know Charles has a vehicle that can get you back safely."
"Hmm? When did you change your personality?"
Selina looked at Zha Kang in surprise and said:
"We've met before, John. This proper style is not like you. What? Are you convinced by Mason in just a few hours?
Or does my little brother really have something on you, an old fox?
This is really rare.”
Constantine shook his head and said:
“Selina, do you feel that Mason has a lot of secrets, such as how he knows so much about this world, and he also knows some of my secrets.
As far as I know, you are the first one among us to have met him.
We'll have to talk about this sometime later. Mr. Catwoman, you don't want to be played around by Mason, do you? "
"I think he's fine."
Catwoman said with a straight face:
"I trust Mason more than you do, so I refuse to discuss this."
"I didn't say anything bad about him. I was very pleased with his generosity."
Zha Kang picked up a cigarette and said faintly:
"But he can be quite aggressive and 'dangerous' in certain situations, and I really think you need to learn a little from that annoying Batman sometimes.
It is good to be kind to others and it is also good to make more friends, but it is foolish not to be prepared. "
"Why are you worried about little Mason's aggression if you don't want to do anything bad to him?"
Catwoman smiled strangely and asked back:
"And considering our current situation, shouldn't we be happier the more powerful the captain is? Put away your little tricks, John, the abacus beads are falling on my face.
I won’t follow you into doing something boring.”
——
On the other side, in the top-floor office of the Iceberg Bar in Gotham City which was under renovation, Mason climbed out of the suitcase, dusted himself off and looked back.
A few minutes later the suitcase tipped over as Mason shook it.
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 using an impact drill.
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 a reinforced flying backpack for the kite man.
He has memorized the blueprint for this thing.
But he couldn't always let Charles carry the fragile kite around on missions, so Mason planned to spend some time upgrading the equipment for his trusted little brother.
He methodically studied engineering and alchemy in the shop for nearly three hours, and also found time to smelt some magic metals to use as materials for the next stage of engineering.
After nightfall, Mason walked out of his shop and bought a box of Silka cigarettes for Zack. Then he hailed a taxi and followed the "Gotham Gangster Terrain and Stronghold Map" drawn by the Kite Man to the stronghold of Falcone's Italian Mafia.
He changed into inconspicuous clothes and strolled on the nearby streets. After figuring out the terrain, he hid in a nearby alley.
He put on the invisibility cloak on his shoulders, held a delicate bird cage in his hands, and put a starry sky mask on his face. The moment he raised the silver-gray hood, he disappeared into the hazy night.
Mason glanced up at the sky. The bat lights in the sky had not yet lit up, and it was not time for the man's night patrol yet.
Now is the time to act.
Gotham, the city of sin, the dark wizard who controls zombies is back!
