Facing Will Turner's overbearing questioning, Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"The scenery here is pretty decent. Moreover, the governor's mansion is the most luxurious mansion in Port Royal. What's wrong with an outsider like me visiting? Don't tell me this is how the hospitable English treat outsiders? "
Will Turner earnestly replied.
"If you really like sightseeing, then you should first visit the reef outside Port Royal. Every month, pirates would be hanged to death there, and their fate would be to be pecked by seagulls."
Sheyan observed Will Turner's tone and expression, and knew that he definitely belonged to the category of people who weren't compatible with him. Blindly retreating wouldn't garner him any respect. Hence, Sheyan no longer restrained himself as he calmly replied.
"So it turns out the English custom is to use a blacksmith apprentice as a magistrate."
Will Turner's countenance instantly changed upon hearing Sheyan's sarcastic words.
At present, he was still a blacksmith apprentice, and the aristocratic concept of England was especially thick. Hence, his status had always been a thorn in his heart. Because of the disparity in status between him and Elizabeth, the two of them had no way of being together under normal circumstances.
Furthermore, the reason why Will Turner could enter the governor's mansion, was because Governor Swann had ordered him to forge a fine sword … … .this sword was to be bestowed upon the newly promoted Brigadier General Norrington. Norrington was also a person who was going to propose to Elizabeth, and was deeply admired by Governor Swann. Today, Governor Swann wasn't home, and thus Will Turner brought his sword out of the governor's mansion.
After being ridiculed by Sheyan, Will Turner's expression turned unsightly. Under such circumstances, he didn't retort, but maintained his poise as he snorted and turned to leave.
Yet at this moment, four individuals suddenly strolled out from the corner. These four individuals sized up Sheyan with a peculiar gaze. This was because although contestants' equipments could disguise storyline characters, other contestants could still discern them. For example, AK's iconic golden gun … ….
Hence, both parties were startled after exchanging glances, before they started guessing each other's identities. Yet at this moment, an extremely ordinary looking contestant's neck flickered with brilliance. Probably activating some ability, he abruptly pointed at Sheyan and shouted sternly.
"Mr. Turner, this man is a pirate! They're actually roaming around outside the governor's mansion. They definitely want to harm Miss Elizabeth! "
Sheyan immediately burst into laughter when he heard this.
"Chris, it's actually you! Oh, my dear cousin Kerry. "
That's right, in a moment of desperation, this contestant had forgotten that although his appearance had changed, his voice wasn't! This fella was the same Mr Chris who was sold off in the previous Pirates of the Caribbean world …..
But as the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. Although Chris was cruelly exploited by Sheyan, he relied on the pirate reputation he earned from the Bell and Mug, and directly earned the pirate's respect. Using that, he gained the trust of several pirates. At this time, Kerry made a big move! Using the excuse of recruiting sailors, he actually sold these pirates to Norrington; successfully reaping benefits and cleansing his own identity!
More importantly, Kerry relied on this bucket of gold to establish his reputation and connections, and racked his brains to enter the Pirates of the Caribbean world twice more than Sheyan. Under his meticulous scheming, his current relationship with Will Turner was already amicable, even close to reaching the level of respect.
This time, Kerry was desperately trying to act as a go-between for Will Turner, trying to matchmake him and Elizabeth. His scheme was exceedingly huge, and actually planned to directly kill off the storyline's main character, Jack Sparrow. In this way, not only would Jack drop bountiful equipments, according to their conjecture, once Jack dies, his main character luck would very possibly be inherited by Will Turner!
Presently, Captain Jack Sparrow was already an extremely famous pirate. Therefore, they decided to take advantage of the fact that Will Turner still didn't know of his identity (Pirate's Son). According to the storyline's development, they would thoroughly kill Jack Sparrow while exchanging blows with him!
Even if they couldn't obtain Captain Jack's dropped key, Norrington's bounty and the immense reputation it would bring was enough to make one salivate. This wasn't even considering the immense benefits Will Turner would receive after being promoted to a main character!
After hearing their good friend Kerry's testimony, the complexions of the storyline characters changed.
"You guys are indeed pirates!"
Will Turner's face exposed an enraged expression. He gently released the long wooden chest clamped under his armpit, allowing it to descend with gravity. Then, his right hand pressed down!
The wooden chest's lid opened up in midair, before smashing down onto the ground. Instead, the exquisite sword that was originally stored within the wooden chest was now grasped in his hand. With a soft clang, he unsheathed the sword, and pointed its razor-sharp sword tip straight at Sheyan and the rest!
At this moment, the two marines standing guard at the Governor's entrance strolled over, and aimed their pitch-black muzzles at Sheyan and the rest. Upon witnessing this, Kerry's lips curled into a sinister smirk. How could his painstaking efforts in Port Royal be in vain? Within a short span of time, a single sentence from him had caused this damned enemy to sink into a dilemma!! The thirst for vengeance arose spontaneously.
Instead, Sheyan continued to laugh merrily, as he gestured a classic finger wagging action towards Chris. Then, he raised both his hands as he walked towards the two vigilant marines. After exchanging a few words with them, the two marines dubiously followed him to a corner. Not even half a minute later, the two marines walked out with smiles plastered across their faces. If one didn't know the inside story, they would probably think the three of them were close brothers who had already burned yellow paper and chopped chicken heads.
Kerry's eyeballs nearly popped out, as he suddenly yelled out.
"How is that possible. Right, those two fools must've accepted your money! Hey! You guys want to silence us out of humiliation? "
In his fury, Kerry directly misspoke, and called those two marines fools. He even accused them of accepting bribes and being greedy.... unless those two marines had a negative IQ, they would naturally be incomparably infuriated and would punish those who slandered them! Observing them charging over with gleaming bayonets, Kerry instantly knew he misspoke and hurriedly fled. At this moment, Will Turner blocked in front of the marines, with a rather dissatisfied expression.
"My friend has already verified the identity of these pirates. Why aren't you guys arresting them?"
Sheyan coldly observed from the side, as he snorted in the party channel.
"That fool Kerry. If he didn't mention the topic of accepting bribes, those two marines might've spared him. Unfortunately, he coincidentally pointed out the truth of the matter ….. hahaha."
Brother Black curiously asked.
"Can those marines really be dealt with with money?"
Sheyan shook his head and replied.
"That might not be the case. Money can only be used as icing on the cake, and cannot provide timely assistance. Do you still remember that Sherfield Trading Company where we sold our goods? "
Brother Black replied.
"I'm not suffering from amnesia, why wouldn't I remember?"
Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"I merely took out that invitation card from the Sherfield Trading Company, and showed it to those two marines. Then, I tossed them 10 gold guineas each, and they reluctantly accepted it. If I had directly tossed them 10 gold guineas, they would've definitely smashed those gold guineas into my face. "
Listening to Sheyan's explanation, Reef and Brother Black were enlightened. According to their prior intelligence, the Sherfield Trading Company was backed by the governor's influence. Mister McKinney was the governor's butler.
These two marines were stationed at the governor's residence, and their eyesight was definitely rather formidable. They were naturally aware of the people entering and exiting the residence, and knew who they could offend and who they couldn't. After witnessing Sheyan receiving an invitation card from the Sherfield Trading Company, they naturally knew his relationship with the governor's residence wasn't shallow. Hence, they definitely wouldn't believe the one-sided words of a lowly Kerry.
At present, upon witnessing Will Turner's interrogation, the two marines didn't show any goodwill towards this blacksmith apprentice. Raising their chins, they retorted.
"Go back and knock on your anvils. Pirates or not, do you think us marines can't differentiate ourselves? Do I need you to teach me? Move aside, this damned scoundrel is slandering us. I must teach him a lesson today! "
One of the marines was obstructed by Will Turner, but the other had already circled around and shouted.
"If you flee, I'll find you in your shop today!"
As it turns out, Kerry had actually mingled with the wind and the water, and had actually purchased real estate in Port Royal. His business was specialized in reselling goods between storyline characters to earn gold guineas, before using those gold guineas to trade with other contestants to earn utility points.
Because Port Royal was a disguised safe zone, the amount of contestants entering the Pirates of the Caribbean world was relatively plentiful. Hence, Kerry had profited quite a lot! Yet at present, after being threatened by the marines, he could only put on a mournful face and obediently submit.
That marine wasn't courteous, as he raised his rifle butt and smashed it against Kerry. Bruises were inflicted on Kerry's face, and his head was bleeding profusely. Sheyan merely watched by the side with a faint smile. Kerry endured the pain of being beaten up. Apart from the pain, he felt that his face had been severely damaged, and was so infuriated that his vision turned black. As for Will Turner, his gaze towards Sheyan was exceedingly unfriendly. Suddenly, he removed his gloves and tossed it to Sheyan!! (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to donate your recommendation votes or monthly votes to me.
