Chapter 53 Fountain of Youth

The craftsmanship of these two holy grails can be said to be exquisite. Weiss took them in his hands and looked at them carefully.

The cups are engraved with delicate patterns, which are like exquisite paintings, and every line reflects the artist's ingenuity.

The surface of the holy grail has a soft luster, which is as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky and as warm as the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

They may have appeared in many important occasions and witnessed countless glorious moments. Perhaps they have also accompanied Juan Ponce de León on many adventurous journeys and experienced countless trials and tribulations.

Jack Sparrow, with curiosity about the holy grail, came over to see it immediately.

"Do you want it?" Weiss asked.

Jack Sparrow shook his head slightly. Although he was full of curiosity about the holy grail, he knew very well that this was not something he could have.

Seeing that Jack had no greed, Weiss stopped teasing him.

Now that the two key items, the mermaid and the holy grail, were in hand, Weiss began to silently plan the next move.

——

Jack Sparrow led the way, and the three of them slowly walked into a cave.

However, when they entered the cave, they found that there was nothing here except stalactites of various shapes and a small pool.

Jack Sparrow carefully checked his compass and began to wonder if there was something wrong with the compass.

After all, they had tracked all the way here in the hope of finding more clues.

"There is nothing wrong with the compass. This is where the Fountain of Youth is." Weiss looked at the inscription on the Holy Grail and said slowly.

He read the words engraved on the Holy Grail, and his voice echoed in the cave.

As the last sentence fell, the water in the cave began to float upward against gravity.

The small pool of water seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, slowly rising, and finally gathered into a suspended pool above the heads of the three people, just hanging there quietly, without falling.

"Captain Sparrow, you have fulfilled your promise." With a wave of his hand, Wess separated the two balls of light from Jack Sparrow and Angelica's bodies and quickly returned to Wes's hands.

Jack Sparrow and Angelica felt relieved immediately. With the release of their restraints, their freedom was finally back.

Angelica, who had regained her freedom, reached out and pulled Jack Sparrow, ready to leave with him. She didn't want to continue this dangerous adventure at all.

However, Jack Sparrow was unwilling to leave at this moment. At this moment, his mind was all on his Black Pearl. He knew that only with Wes's help could he regain his beloved ship.

"Where is my reward, Mr. Wizard?" Jack Sparrow gently pulled his hand back, turned around, and asked Wes expectantly.

"Don't worry, Captain Sparrow." While putting away the Holy Grail, Weiss answered calmly and confidently, "The fun is yet to come."

"Is Blackbeard coming here too?"

Wess didn't answer him directly, but jumped into the suspended pool. Jack Sparrow hesitated, but soon decided to follow Weiss in, ignoring his girlfriend Angelica's dissuasion.

Angelica could only sigh helplessly. She didn't want to stay here alone, so she had to follow Jack Sparrow and jump into the suspended pool.

When the two opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a place surrounded by clouds and mist.

This place didn't look spacious, and could only accommodate a hundred people at most. It was completely different from the magnificent scene they expected. There was almost nothing here except a few tall rock pillars.

The legendary Fountain of Youth looked no different from ordinary clear water, flowing quietly without any ripples.

Wes took out the small bottle containing the mermaid and tapped it gently.

The bottle began to grow as if it was enchanted, until it became as big as a small swimming pool.

The five mermaids inside also returned to their original size. They huddled together tightly and looked at Wes in fear.

Obviously, they were frightened by Wes's magical magic.

"Elody?!" Jack Sparrow recognized one of the mermaids at a glance, and he was surprised.

"Jack, help us." Elody saw Jack and seemed to have found a ray of hope. His arrival gave her hope.

"Jack?" Angelica looked at Jack Sparrow in disbelief, "You actually soaked a fish! What's in your head?"

"Baby, listen to my explanation," Jack Sparrow hurriedly wanted to explain.

"Old woman, I'm not a fish." Elody retorted angrily.

"Who do you say is an old woman?" Angelica became even angrier.

"..."

"..."

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

"Ladies." Jack Sparrow tried to appease the two "difficult" friends, but no one paid attention to him. They kept bickering and didn't give him a chance to interrupt.

In desperation, Jack Sparrow had to shoot into the air. "Bang!" The gunshot echoed in the small space. Angelica was startled and quickly drew her sword and looked around vigilantly. Elodie hid in the water and didn't dare to show her head.

"Jack?!" Angelica found out that it was Jack Sparrow who was doing it, and pointed the sword at his chest.

Jack Sparrow pushed away the blade pointed at him, turned to Weiss and bowed: "Wizard Master, can you..."

"No." Weiss replied coldly, without any sympathy in his eyes.

"Look how beautiful they are, they are just poor girls." Jack Sparrow said, and the five mermaids also cooperated to make a pitiful look, trying to arouse Weiss's sympathy.

"Pitiable? Captain Sparrow, you are out of your mind. These mermaids are not ordinary people." Weiss was not fooled by their beauty, "They are just half-human and half-beast creatures, and humans are one of their menus."

Seeing that the plea was ineffective, the five mermaids had to give up their disguise and show their sharp teeth.

Jack Sparrow wanted to say a few words for his old lover, but was stopped by Angelica, who whispered: "Don't anger him, he needs the tears of mermaids, at least we are safe now."

Then Weiss cast a magic called nightmare spell, which can make creatures fall into their deepest fear. It is actually an illusion.

Under the spell, the mermaids fell into nightmares and shed tears because of their fear. Weiss collected all the tears in a small transparent bottle.

After doing all this, a chaotic sound of footsteps came, and a group of pirates came out from nowhere and quickly surrounded them. It was Blackbeard and his men who appeared.

Blackbeard stared greedily at the Fountain of Youth behind Weiss, with a blazing desire in his eyes. He took out his musket, pointed the muzzle at Weiss, and said in an imperative tone: "Get out of the way, the Fountain of Youth belongs to me."

"Don't you even understand the principle of first come first served?" Weiss did not give in to the muzzle pointed at him.

"Bang!" Blackbeard pulled the trigger without saying much, and the close-range gunshot made people's eardrums hurt.
