Chapter 491 Making a lie come true
"You mean... to lure the snake out of its hole?" Gothe instantly understood Sarah's intention.
Sarah turned around, her red hair beating like flames on her shoulders, and her blue eyes filled with determination.
She did not hide her thoughts at all and nodded: "In the entire Black Sail City, only the [Spell Bottle] can allow Davy Jones to show up on his own initiative."
"But a cautious and treacherous person like him will not be easily fooled." Gothe reminded.
"Greed is the best bait. Dominating the City of Black Sails for so many years has made him less vigilant than at the beginning."
Sarah looked far away and said slowly: "The Holy Empire was unable to do anything to him. Although this was because the Plantagenet Dynasty was on the side, the Holy Empire was unable to send out real experts and a large number of military mages, but no matter how many other factors there were, it could not change this fact." The most powerful empire in the world can't do anything to him, so who can he really take seriously? "
"As long as the news of the birth of [Spell Bottle] is made true, with the dual blessing of greed and self-confidence, he will definitely appear."
"But, why me? What do you need me to do?" Gothe was silent for a moment, and finally asked.
Sarah went to great lengths to invite him to Gray Island and talked to him so much.
Including the secret of the strange objects, he even made no secret of his intention to kill Davy Jones. Of course, he was not trying to reveal the girl's feelings.
Gothe knew well that Sarah meant for him to join this operation.
But just as he asked.
Why him?
Why would a project of such a high stakes involve a man he had never known before and had just arrived in the City of Black Sails?
This is simply unreasonable.
Unless he is required to do something, only he can do it.
"You have to do all the tricks to put on a show, the Pirate King is not a fool, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bear the sky-high bounty and still be safe and sound so far.
As I said before, the news of the birth of [Spell Bottle] must be at least five points true in order to attract him to show up. "Sarah said softly.
“The biggest problem now is how to make the news of the birth of the [Spell Bottle] as true as possible.”
“My initial plan was to actually find the [Spell Bottle],” Sarah sighed leisurely and revealed another one. Secret, real secret: "My third-ring specialty can help me recover from mental injuries, which allows me to briefly set foot in the area covered by the blue flame."
“It’s just that this recovery ability is relatively limited, or the mental damage caused by the blue flame is too serious. In short, every time I set foot in the area covered by the blue flame, even if it is less than an hour, it will take me several months to recover, so the efficiency of treasure hunting is relatively limited.”
"After all these years, I have certainly gained a lot. I have found a lot of extraordinary equipment left behind by members of the Black Wing Gang, but I really can't find any trace of the [Spell Bottle]."
"Either the [Spell Bottle] has really been missed by a lucky person, or it is in the blue flame sea area at the core of Ember Island... The blue flames in that place are too turbulent, and even with expertise, I can't step into it."
"I am more inclined to the latter, because if it is the former, it is impossible for such a powerful rare item like [Spell Bottle] to go without any rumors for so many years."
"But in short, this plan can only be a failure."
Gothe is silent.
The more Sarah talked to him, the less able he was to refuse Sarah's next proposal.
"If you really can't find one, you can only act," Sarah's eyes fell on Gothe, and continued: "I need someone with enough courage and intelligence to cooperate with me in this play."
"Although it is an honor to receive such praise from you," Gothe said helplessly, "But this is the second time we have met, so you think too highly of me, right?"
"Besides, don't you think it's too risky to find an outsider like me?"
For such a top-secret plan, you should find your own "dead man". What's the point of looking for a passerby like him?
"We have to find outsiders," Sarah said as if she couldn't hear Gothe's polite refusal, "David's eyes are all over the Black Sails City. As long as he wants to know when the people who appeared in the Blue Flame Islands landed on the island, and where they came from, he can basically know it clearly."
"If I use my own people, it will be easy for him to find out that he is my people, which is equivalent to putting the word trap in front of him. On the contrary, if you are a real passerby, he will not doubt too much."
"It is precisely because of this that my plan has been delayed for a long time. I need a suitable person to appear to help me lure the snake out of its hole."
"Until I learned about you from Gal's mouth today."
"There is only one thing you have to do, attract Davy Jones to Gray Island according to my arrangement.
"The rest has nothing to do with you."
"I know the risk is very high," Sarah raised her red lips with a flamboyant smile, and raised the amulet in her palm towards Gothe, "As long as you agree to help me, this [Alcoholic Amulet] will be yours."
"This is considered a deposit."
“If I succeed in killing Davy Jones in the end, his head will also be yours.” Sarah’s tone was understated, as if she was saying something ordinary.
Davy Jones’ head was worth 380,000 gorse coins.
Of course, it looks good, but if it is to be implemented, Sarah must really be able to win Davy Jones.
Gothe fell into thinking.
Sarah only talked about the benefits of cooperation without any threats, and seemed to allow him to refuse the "cooperation" proposal.
But of course Gao De cannot be so naive.
If Sarah refused, she would just "kill him and silence him" without saying anything, but in order to avoid leaking the news, she would definitely not let him go until the matter was settled.
The reason why I don’t say it is because everyone is smart and knows these things well. There is no need to say it out and destroy the current harmonious atmosphere.
There are some things that even if both parties know what they are saying, saying it or not is completely different.
He raised his head, looked at the fire in Sarah's eyes, and understood that from the moment he stepped onto Ember Island, there was no way out.
"As long as he can show up, are you sure you can kill him?" Gothe raised his doubts.
At least in his opinion, neither "leading the snake out of its hole" nor "killing Davy Jones" are easy to achieve.
David was able to survive for so long with a sky-high bounty, which is by no means an easy thing for others.
“With a certain degree of certainty.” Sarah’s answer was relatively conservative, but she did not elaborate on the second step.
Because there is no high moral drama in the second step, there is no need to expand it.
"What should I do?" Gothe pondered for a moment and asked.
"Go on." Sarah flicked the amulet in her hand.
The talisman draws an arc in the air.
Gaode quickly caught it, the wood felt rough but warm, and the patina in the cracks touched his fingertips.
He looked at the valuable rare object in his hand and calmly put it into his arms.
"Gaal told me that you asked Santos for a ticket to the All Souls Day auction, so you came to the City of Black Sails this time for the auction?"
"Yes." Gothe nodded. There was nothing to deny.
"Very good, the purer your purpose and the more innocent you are, the less likely it is for Davy Jones to suspect you." Sarah nodded with satisfaction. "The fabrics worn by your crew members are from Byro County, and they also speak with a golden sparrow. "The accent is from the southwestern coast of the Flower Dynasty," she said again: "So you should be a native mage from the Plantagenet Dynasty?"
These are no secrets for the local snakes in Black Sails City, as long as they want to investigate.
"That would be even better. The mages of the Plantagenet Dynasty naturally draw a clear line with the Holy Empire. With David's current strength and status, only mages from the Holy Empire will let him wait and see for a while." Sarah was even more satisfied.
No matter how you look at it, Gao De is her God-given "fate".
"What I want you to do is not complicated either." After Sarah asked about Gaode's identity, she finally began to reveal the specific action plan.
"You can attend the auction as normal and buy what you want. However, during the auction, I need you to deposit these two treasures to the auction house for auction." Sarah clapped her hands lightly.
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door, and the man who was called the security guard on the deck just now walked up with a tray in his hands.
There are two pieces of jewelry on the tray:
A ring set with blue flame crystals, the stone surface is covered with spiderweb-like cracks; a rusty silver chain, the pendant is a twisted skull.
"This is...:.:" Gothe's eyes flashed over these two ornaments,
"The relics of the Black Wing Gang that I have searched for from Ash Island over the years," Sarah pushed the tray towards Gothe, "It is when The accessories carried by the deputy leader of the Black Wing Gang are all fifth-level extraordinary equipment, but they are also slightly damaged, and their value is greatly reduced."
“Fifth-level extraordinary items, even if they are flawed, are definitely blockbuster items at the All Souls’ Day auction. As the manager of the All Souls’ Day auction, David Jones will definitely receive news about these two items.” He has a lot of energy and knows the details of the Black Wing Gang. He will definitely be able to immediately recognize the origin of these two ornaments. "
"A Plantagenet mage who has just arrived in the City of Black Sails has deposited and auctioned two Black Wing Gang relics that should have been lying dormant on Ash Island... He will definitely notice you."
"The expertise of a mage is very unreasonable. Even David can't do anything about blue flames, but my three-ring expertise allows me to enter some areas covered by blue flames. According to this reason, there may be some kind of expertise that can make a mage immune to the damage of these blue flames."
"These two relics of the Black Wing Gang are the tricks you accidentally revealed in order to get the items you need...:" Sarah talked about it. Her plan had been brewing for a long time, so she was confident at the moment and without any obstacles.
But the more Gao De listened, the weirder his emotions became, and he suddenly thought of an idiom from his previous life:
Make falsehood true.
"As for the proceeds from the auction of these two ornaments, they also belong to you. If I really fail to kill Davy Jones in the end, or even die in his hands, I will treat it as compensation for your death."
Finally, Sarah finished explaining the specific plan and all the details, and said with a smile.
"After all, with Davy Jones's cruel character, he will definitely not let you go easily after the incident is exposed." She did not hide the risk at all, and her tone was very calm.
The sea breeze flowed in along the open window, lifting a corner of the leather windbreaker on Sarah's chest, revealing the tight lines under the gilt buckle.
Gaode understood that this woman had already put her own life and death aside.
I just don’t know what kind of blood feud there is between Sarah and David that would make her willing to go to such an extent?
"Before the All Souls' Day auction begins, you need to stay on Ashes Island first." She changed the topic, adding a bit of unquestionable meaning in her tone. "These Black Wing Gang relics must have a 'reasonable' origin - for example, you spent three days searching on the island before digging them out from the edge of the Blue Flame Zone." She looked at Gothe, "No problem."
It still sounds very reasonable. It takes a few days on Ember Island to find out how these two Black Wings relics were obtained.
Otherwise, Davy Jones would check and find out that he had never been on Ember Island at all, and he would be betrayed immediately... But at the same time, this is also a euphemistic way of placing him under house arrest.
Lest he betray himself and sell Sarah on the other side when he returns.
I didn’t let myself go until the auction started. Even if I wanted to betray him, I didn’t have the time.
Gothe knew what Sarah meant and knew that he could not raise objections.
"I can stay, but Lan Wen can leave, because I..." Gothe briefly stated the agreement he had made with Apache before he came.
Hearing this, Sarah glanced at Lan Wen and nodded: "Okay."
Lan Wen's complexion changed and he looked at Gothe: "Sir?!"
He left from the north and followed Gothe all the way to protect Gothe. How could he be willing to be separated from Gothe now?
"When you go back, you will first fulfill the agreement and seize the dock, and also prepare to leave. As soon as the auction starts, take the fleet back to Plantagenet. You don't have to wait for me. I have my own way to leave. You staying here will be a burden to me!"
Just the next moment, Lan Wen received the news from Gothe through [Messaging Technique].
· Lan Wen's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he struggled in his heart. After a moment, he made up his mind and replied to Gothe: "Understood, my king."
· Then, Lan Wen quickly returned to his usual neatness, without any hesitation, and decisively turned around and left without any delay.
· In the cabin, Sarah raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
The magic fluctuations of [Messaging Technique] cannot be hidden from her perception.
But she didn’t care what the two of them talked about in private, as long as Gothe stayed, and the other little thoughts in the process were just innocuous adjustments.
After seeing Lan Wen leave, Sarah said to Gothe again: "The security guard will take you to the arranged cabin. There is enough water and food. If you want to drink two glasses, there is still a good wine in my collection in the wine cellar. Just take it."
"In addition, I won’t restrict your movements, but I advise you not to leave the Fire Knife, because blue flames may burst out from any land on Ash Island at any time.”
