Although he had changed the ship to be the Frozen Ghost Ship, its nature had not changed much. Because Roy and Cassandra both hated sunlight, Roy had frozen the ship not only to create a sense of mystery but also to use the temperature difference on the ship to create fog to block the sunlight. Therefore, the entire ship was actually covered in a thin layer of fog. Only when one approached could one see the existence of the Frozen Ghost Ship clearly.
When one discovered this ship, they were actually very close to it, and it gave off a feeling of appearing and disappearing like a ghost. This was why the people of the Caribbean Sea called this ship the ghost ship.
Now, the people sailing in the Caribbean Sea, be it pirates or merchants, had long learned their lesson. Once they discovered fog on the sea, they would subconsciously think that the Frozen Ghost Ship had appeared. They would immediately choose to go around it. Even if they could not go around it, they would cautiously stop the ship and wait until they had thoroughly observed it before moving forward.
Everyone avoided the Frozen Ghost Ship. Precisely because of this, Roy was naturally surprised when he saw someone take the initiative to look for the Frozen Ghost Ship.
In particular, Roy recognized this person at a glance. Jack Sparrow …
To be honest, when Roy saw Jack Sparrow, he was a little dumbfounded because Jack Sparrow actually greeted him very enthusiastically!
He rowed a small boat through the fog toward the slowly moving Frozen Ghost Ship while waving his hand at the ship and shouting, "Hey! Wait a minute! help！”
Fat Tiger was the first to hear the voice. He leaned over the side of the ship and poked his head out to look at Jack Sparrow rowing over. When Jack Sparrow saw him, he was even happier. He raised his head and shouted at Fat Tiger, "Doggy! Good doggy! Can you lower the rope ladder and let me go up? "
Fat Tiger tilted his three heads and looked at Jack Sparrow below. He did not understand why this seemingly crazy guy was not afraid of him and instead wanted to get on the ship.
At this moment, Cassandra floated over. She stood beside Fat Tiger and looked coldly at Jack Sparrow. Uh, it could not be said to be cold, because Cassandra no longer had a face. All that was left was a skeleton, so she did not have any expression.
She stared at Jack Sparrow. Logically speaking, a normal person would have felt their hair stand on end if they were stared at by a skeleton like this. They would have turned around and fled, but Jack Sparrow did not. Instead, he took off his captain's hat and bowed. "Ma 'am, it's a pleasure to see you!"
Cassandra was at a loss for what to do. Although in the eyes of the world, she was a terrifying lich, the memories she retained were still that of a teenage girl. Everyone who saw her was either afraid or wanted to kill her, but no one had ever greeted her normally like this.
Cassandra could not help but turn around and look at Roy, who was sitting on a huge frozen chair on the deck.
"Let him come up!" Roy was a little speechless. It seemed like Jack Sparrow was as bold as the rumors said. He actually took the initiative to find the ship where the demon hellhound and lich were. But he was also very curious about what Jack Sparrow wanted to do by coming to his door …
At this time, Roy, who lacked nautical knowledge, had yet to realize how difficult it was to find his Frozen Ghost Ship in the vast sea …
Fat Tiger put down a rope ladder with ice from the side of the ship. Jack Sparrow looked at the rope ladder and carefully stepped on it to test it. After finding that it probably would not break, he climbed up the rope ladder.
After arriving on the deck, Fat Tiger naturally leaned forward and sniffed Jack Sparrow's scent with his three heads. Roy could see that when Fat Tiger moved, Jack Sparrow was still very nervous, and his entire body was tense. But after realizing that Fat Tiger had no intention of attacking him, he relaxed again and waved his hand gently, carefully trying to chase Fat Tiger away.
Fat Tiger sniffed him and found that he was just an ordinary person without any threat, so he walked away. At this moment, Cassandra was like a maid, staying beside Roy without saying a word. Roy also lay on the chair and looked at Jack Sparrow without saying a word.
However, Jack Sparrow did not care at all. He squeezed out a smile and bowed to Roy. "Aha! You must be the demon king that's causing an uproar on the sea now! Nice to meet you. I'm Jack, Jack Sparrow! The captain of the Black Pearl! "
Roy still did not respond and continued to stare at him.
Jack Sparrow shivered, rubbed his arms, and said, "I say, this ship is too cold! Don't you want to start a fire to warm yourself? "
"…"
"Okay, it seems like you don't intend to start a fire to warm yourself!" Jack Sparrow had no choice but to change his words. "Then, if you don't mind, can I have a sip of rum? Because I can't stand the cold anymore! "
"…"
Roy still did not say anything as he watched Jack Sparrow perform alone.
The scene was very awkward. Jack Sparrow also realized that his sense of humor seemed to be unable to deal with this situation, so he simply gave up on the treatment and spread his hands. "Alright, I'm here to make a deal with you!"
After hearing this, Roy finally spoke. He slowly sat up straight, raised his chin, and gestured to Jack Sparrow. "Oh? What deal? "
Jack Sparrow jogged to Roy's seat and whispered, "I heard that you're looking for a group of pirates, and among them, there's a guy who lacks an ear. Is that right?"
"Huh? Do you know who they are? "Cassandra could not help but interrupt when she heard this.
"Ma 'am, I don't know!" Jack Sparrow revealed a charming smile and said, "However, I can help you find their location!"
"You're lying!" Cassandra could not help but say angrily, "You don't even know who they are. How can you find them?"
However, after hearing Jack Sparrow's words, Roy had a flash of inspiration and immediately reacted.
Compass! Jack Sparrow was talking about his compass that could only point to the direction of the mind, right?!
Sure enough, Jack Sparrow proudly took out a small square box from his arms and opened it, revealing the pointer inside. He shook the compass and said to Cassandra, "Ma 'am, sometimes, even if you don't know who the other party is, it doesn't mean that you can't find their location. This compass has a magical power. When you hold it, it can follow what you want the most in your heart and then guide you in the direction you want to go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Roy suddenly reached out and snatched the compass from his hand.
Roy held the compass and carefully felt the magic power on it. He found that the weak magic power on this compass was very similar to the magic power on the ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman. This was probably a creation of the sea goddess Calypso!
Roy snatched the compass from Jack Sparrow, and he wanted to take it back, but he did not dare to do so. He looked conflicted.
Roy looked at him expressionlessly. "Since this compass is so magical, aren't you afraid that I'll snatch it from you?"
"No, no, you'd better not do that!" Jack Sparrow made an orchid gesture with his right hand and gently shook his finger. "This compass can only be lent to others with my permission. If you snatch it from me, it won't be of any use!"
Roy looked at the compass and found that the pointer inside was spinning randomly.
But this was because Roy did not really want to go anywhere!
Roy knew that Jack Sparrow was lying. What did he mean by 'with my permission'? Roy vaguely remembered that Barbossa and Lord Beckett seemed to have designs on Jack Sparrow's compass. If he could not use the compass without permission, then why would these people have designs on the compass?
However, although he knew that Jack Sparrow was lying, Roy did not expose him. After throwing the compass back to him, Roy asked, "Speak! What do you want? "
"Great!" Jack Sparrow took the compass and could not help but praise. "I want you to help me take back my Black Pearl!"
Roy was stunned when he heard this because he heard a piece of information from this sentence. At this point in time, it seemed like Jack Sparrow had just been exiled after his betrayal!
Originally, Jack Sparrow should have gone to find Davy Jones and made a deal with him. Davy Jones would help him take back his Black Pearl, and in exchange, Jack Sparrow would have to serve hard labor on the Flying Dutchman for a hundred years. But after taking back the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow went back on his word and had been avoiding Davy Jones's pursuit.
But now, it seemed that because of his appearance, Jack Sparrow had an additional target to trade with!
Perhaps it was because he had heard that Roy and Cassandra were looking for a group of pirates, and Jack Sparrow had something like a mind compass. This made Jack Sparrow realize that the price he had to pay to trade with Roy might be much lower than the price he had to pay to trade with Davy Jones.
Therefore, even though he knew that Roy was a demon, Jack Sparrow still came looking for him. He definitely understood that there was a huge risk in making a deal with a demon, but in order to take back the Black Pearl, he did not care about anything.
Roy could understand his thoughts. If Cassandra's obsession was revenge, then Jack Sparrow's obsession was his Black Pearl …
So, should I accept this deal? Roy could not help but think. The sharp nails on his fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the frozen chair, producing crisp and rhythmic tinkling sounds. This sound was so uncomfortable in the quiet ship. Although Jack Sparrow felt goosebumps all over his body, he did not dare to speak and waited nervously for Roy's answer …
