Chapter 4529 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, worried that he still knows very little...

These worries can no longer 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, "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.

Xiang Nan immediately left his mirror clone to accompany Elizabeth, while he himself came to Weird George's store.

"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 him based on the headdress on the man's head. After all, Captain Jack's headdress was unique. It was a token that sealed Cory Busso, and 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 had this 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, ulcers all over the body, heart disease, hypertension, headache, dementia, spinal cord degeneration, paresthesia...

In short, this is a very deadly disease. Xiang Nan did not expect that Jack would actually get this disease.

But then again, Captain Jack is very romantic.

Almost all the beauties in the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean" have something to do with him.

For example, the two who slapped him on the island of Tetuga, Maria whose boat he stole, the twins next to Xiao Feng, the pirate king of Singapore, Angelica in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", and the wife of the mayor of St. Martin in "Pirates of the Caribbean 5"...

He is so generous that he is easy to get infected.

After all, in the 18th century, there were no risk avoidance measures, not to mention that medical technology was not developed, so even if he got this disease, it was not easy 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 parts.

It is said that it was a small Easter egg specially designed by Johnny Depp to show that Captain Jack was actually a syphilis patient.

"Don't be afraid, I have a way to treat you." Xiang Nan said immediately, and then took out the God of Medicine's Staff, ready to help Captain Jack treat the disease.

For him, treating syphilis is simply a piece of cake.

"No, no need to treat it." Jack smiled and waved his hand, "My life is worth it."

Over the years, he has traveled around the world on a boat, eaten, seen, played, and had fun, and he has no regrets. In this case, why treat it, it's just right to die like this.
