Chapter 4486 Chapter 4488 [Angelica]
"It's her?!" Xiang Nan was stunned.
"Do you know her?" Seeing Xiang Nan's strange reaction, Jack asked equally curiously.
"She is currently wanted by the East India Company, with a reward of five thousand pounds, which is three thousand pounds more than you." Xiang Nan explained, and then took out the wanted notices for him and Angelica.
"What, her bounty is actually higher than mine? This is simply unreasonable. I am the famous Jack Sparrow." Jack said angrily when he saw it.
"I guess she must have done something extraordinary to deserve such a large reward." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I want to borrow your wish compass and ask her after I find her. "
"I'm going with you, and I also want to settle accounts with her." Jack said immediately after hearing this.
"I'd better go by myself. It's inconvenient for you to follow me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But I promise you that after I catch her, I will bring her back to you."
He went back quickly, and he could catch Angelica in just a few minutes. But if I take Jack with me, I don't know what trouble will happen in the middle.
"Okay then." Jack nodded and handed the wish compass to Xiang Nan.
…
After Xiang Nan received the wish compass, he first looked at the sky and divined Angelica's approximate location.
Seeing that Angelica was actually on Tetuga Island at the moment, he immediately apparated and came to Tetuga, then took out the wish compass and followed the compass's guidance to search.
A moment later, Xiang Nan was surprised to find that he had arrived at Weird George's store.
"Why are you here?" Xiang Nan looked at the pointer on the compass and said in shock. He didn't expect that the wish compass would guide him here.
Weird George Store is a store opened by Xiang Nan four years ago, dedicated to purchasing magical items.
To be honest, after so many years of hard work, it really helped Xiang Nan buy a lot of magical items.
In addition to the previous purified water bags, self-igniting pipes, blood-sucking teeth, and monkey **** skulls, Xiang Nan also bought a cursed necklace. After wearing the necklace, you will be haunted by an evil spirit for no more than a week. Will be killed by the wronged soul.
I bought a statue of the corn **** from an Indian tribe. It is said that praying to the corn **** will bring you a good harvest; I bought a blue pearl, and you can hold this pearl and stand in a fire without getting burned;
I also bought a dagger, which was tempered with highly toxic substances. Once stabbed by it, the wound would bleed continuously. It is said that it was used by the Assassin assassins back then...
In short, there are all kinds of them, each with its own wonderful features.
What satisfied Xiang Nan the most was an evergreen branch.
This branch is always green. Whether it is roasted on a fire or exposed to the sun, it always glows green.
Moreover, this branch was very flexible. Even if it was chopped with a sharp sword and a giant ax, it could not be broken at all. Therefore, it was regarded as a rare item and sold to Xiang Nan.
Its owner did not understand its true value and thought it was just a magical branch, so he only sold it for a mere two gold coins.
But Xiang Nan was shocked when he saw it. He could feel that this branch contained powerful life energy, which was unparalleled and vast.
The World Tree exists in many myths, such as Jianmu and Fusang in Chinese mythology, Sun Tree and Whirling Tree in Indian mythology, World Tree in Nordic mythology, Druids also believe in the Tree of Life, and Babylonian In mythology, the World Tree grows at the navel of the world. In Christianity, the Garden of Eden also has the Tree of Wisdom and the Tree of Life. In Mayan mythology, the World Tree connects Yin and Yang...
The trees mentioned in these myths may be the same tree. This branch of the World Tree was cut off from the tree for some unknown reason. It is about three feet long and about the thickness of a finger, which is very suitable for making a wand. It's just that Xiang Nan hasn't chosen the material of the wand core yet, and his current wand can still be used, so there is no rush.
…
Xiang Nan then walked into Weird George's store.
Manager Thomson was receiving guests. When he saw Xiang Nan, he immediately said "Sorry", then stepped forward and said, "Boss, you are back."
"Is everything okay in the store?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Don't worry, everything is fine." Thomson nodded quickly.
"That's good." Xiang Nan looked around and saw a man sitting there.
He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this man was Angelica in disguise. The beard on her face was obviously glued, which could not be hidden from Xiang Nan, who is also a disguise master.
And the sword hanging on Angelica's waist is the Triton sword that Xiang Nan gave to Jack. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by her. It seemed that Jack was really careless.
"Are you the owner of this store? I have a business that I want to discuss with you directly." At this time, Angelica stood up and came to Xiang Nan and said.
"Okay, let's talk in my office upstairs." Xiang Nan nodded and invited Angelica to come upstairs. "Please sit down and have tea or coffee?"
"Is there any wine?" Angelica asked.
"Rum, whiskey or brandy?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Just rum." Angelica nodded.
"Thomson, bring me a bottle of rum." Xiang Nan immediately ordered, "What kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"
"It's a big deal, but I don't know if you can afford it." Angelica looked at Xiang Nan and said.
"Don't worry, as long as it's worth the money, I can afford it no matter how expensive it is." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Can you tell me what you want to sell?"
"You have to show your financial strength first." Angelica waved her hand, "Otherwise, if I bring out the goods and you don't have that much money, wouldn't our talk be in vain?"
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded and took out his money bag from his waist.
When Angelica saw this, she couldn't help being slightly stunned, then frowned and said, "Are you kidding me? How much money can be put in such a small wallet?"
Although Britain had begun to implement banknotes in the seventeenth century, due to the low level of anti-counterfeiting technology at that time, and the vicious incident of King Charles I confiscating gold and silver coins stored in banks to alleviate the kingdom's financial crisis, There was widespread distrust of banknotes issued by the Bank of England.
Moreover, paper money was not circulated internationally at that time. For the people, gold and silver coins were more direct and reliable.
So when Xiang Nan took out a small money bag, Angelica was naturally dissatisfied, because it was impossible for this small money bag to hold too much money.
Xiang Nan smiled, opened the mouth of the money bag, and let Angelica take a look.
Angelica was stunned when she saw that there was something else in the money bag. It was piled full of gold coins, silver coins, and jewelry, as high as a mountain.
It can be said that even King George II of England may not have as much money as him.
