Chapter 4529 Chapter 4531 [Goodbye Captain Jack]
Xiang Nan also didn't expect that he was so lucky that he could find an incredible treasure while casually strolling around the museum.
That night, he sneaked into the museum quietly and took out the pure green glass heart from the statue of Garuda.
And the moment he held it in his hand, Xiang Nan really felt like his worries were gone, and he felt peaceful and carefree. It was really wonderful.
"No wonder the gods are coveting this. It is indeed a rare treasure." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.
It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the greed, and the greater the troubles.
Previously, Xiang Nan was only worried about not having enough salary, not being able to find a partner, and being worried about his hateful boss and annoying colleagues.
Basically, these worries can be solved with money. Even if you don’t have money, you can choose to just lie down.
But now he is worried that he is not strong enough, worried that he cannot become a god, and worried that he still knows very little...
These worries cannot be solved by money alone, or even by one's own efforts. They must be achieved through a combination of talent, hard work, and opportunity. Therefore, how can people not be worried.
Now that he has this pure green glass heart, Xiang Nan suddenly feels that his worries are gone and he feels relieved. This kind of peaceful, peaceful and pure state of mind is what countless practitioners dream of.
…
After Xiang Nan and Elizabeth stayed in England for a while, they went to the European continent.
They landed in the Netherlands, then went to Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, France, Switzerland, and then to Italy and Greece in southern Europe.
Along the way, Xiang Nan discovered that the Goddess Church was becoming more and more popular. In any small town they passed, they could see the temple of the Goddess Church, but not every town had a church of the Goddess Church.
It can be seen that the number of believers in goddesses in Europe has exceeded the number of believers in God, which is a good thing for Xiang Nan. Because the more people believe in the goddess, the more souls he can gain.
However, because of this, when Xiang Nan and Elizabeth went to Rome, they did not dare to stop by the Vatican.
He was afraid that when he was leaving, God would suddenly send down a thunder that would kill him on the spot.
"Are we really not going to the Vatican?" Elizabeth felt a little regretful.
"We are believers of the Ocean Goddess. Going to the Vatican for pilgrimage is tantamount to apostasy." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "And apostasy will be punished, so I suggest it is best not to take risks. Anyway, there is only one church, and Nothing remarkable."
She was lucky that when she first joined the association, Xiang Nan used a blind trick and did not ask her to sign the membership manual. Otherwise, just wanting to go to the Vatican would be considered apostasy and she would have a headache for several days.
"Okay then." Elizabeth nodded.
…
The two traveled across the Mediterranean to Greece, where they lived for less than half a year.
Greece has a typical Mediterranean climate, with mild and rainy winters and dry and hot summers, so spring and autumn are the best vacation seasons. Especially in autumn, the weather is cool and comfortable and the scenery is pleasant, making it the best choice.
And just when Xiang Nan was about to go to Egypt to enjoy the exotic scenery, he suddenly received news from Thompson, the eccentric George store manager.
"Thompson, you said there is an old friend who wants to see me. Where is the old friend?" Xiang Nan returned to the store and asked. "James...old friend...do you still remember...me?" Before Thompson could speak, someone laughed weakly.
Xiang Nan looked back and was immediately startled.
I saw that the man's face was almost rotten, covered with large and small scars and red spots, and disgusting mucus dripped from time to time. His left eye was also rotten, and the remaining right eye was also bloodshot. Broken wounds can be seen on the neck, hands, and legs, and blood and mucus are also oozing out from time to time.
"You are..." Xiang Nan didn't recognize him for a moment, but when he thought about it, he was suddenly startled, "Jack Sparrow?"
Xiang Nan recognized the man based on the headdress on his head. After all, Captain Jack's headdress was unique. It was a token that sealed Cory Busso, and it had also sealed the soul of the Emperor of the Aztec Empire.
"As expected...you still remember me, old friend...yes, it's me." Jack Sparrow grinned, but there were not many good teeth in his mouth.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Nan said in surprise.
He didn't expect that Jack would become like this after not seeing him for nearly thirty years. It was really beyond his expectation. He thought Jack should still be galloping on the sea at this moment, after all, that was his favorite thing to do.
"Syphilis." Captain Jack said concisely.
Xiang Nan nodded. In fact, he also saw that Captain Jack was a typical late-stage symptom of syphilis.
Syphilis was brought back to Europe from the American continent by the navigator Columbus during the Age of Discovery. Because this virus is mainly spread through sexual means, it was once known as "rogue disease" and "Cupid's disease."
Therefore, European aristocratic children were once proud of having syphilis, thinking that this was an invisible recognition of their charm.
But syphilis is also a very toxic virus. It will gradually erode the human body. At the beginning, it will only appear some ulcers and swollen lymph nodes, but later it will cause fever, headache, bone and joint pain, oral mucositis, retinitis, and meningitis. .
Finally, there is necrosis of limb tissue, systemic ulcers, heart disease, high blood pressure, headaches, dementia, spinal cord degeneration, and abnormal sensations...
In short, this is a very fatal disease. Xiang Nan never thought that Jack would get this disease.
But then again, Captain Jack Sparrow is very romantic.
Almost all the beauties that appear in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean" have a hand with him.
For example, the two who slapped him on Tetuga Island, Maria who stole the boat from him, the two twins next to Singapore Pirate King Xiao Feng, Angelica in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" The wife of the mayor of St. Maarten…
He is so generous with meat and vegetables, it is easy to fall into this trap.
After all, in the eighteenth century, there were no hedging measures, not to mention the underdeveloped medical technology, so even if you got the disease, it would be difficult to cure.
In the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies, there has always been a small detail, that is, there has always been a scar on Captain Jack's left chin, and the scar is getting bigger and bigger in the five films.
It is said that it was a small easter egg specially designed by Johnny Depp to show that Captain Jack Sparrow was actually a syphilis patient.
"Don't be afraid, I have a way to treat you." Xiang Nan said immediately, then took out the staff of the **** of medicine and prepared to treat Captain Jack.
For him, treating syphilis was a piece of cake.
"No, there is no need for treatment." Jack smiled and waved his hand, "My life has been worth it."
Over the years, he has traveled around the world on a boat, eating, seeing and having fun. He has no regrets. In this case, what else is there to cure? It's just right to die like this.
