Mason left the Revenge of Queen Anne with Scarecrow and a weak female pirate amidst the attention of a group of Barbossa pirates. As they stepped back onto the pier, the onlookers erupted into cheers like ghosts and wolves.
They seemed to feel that they had witnessed a small miracle.
Not only did these two wizard adults break in, but they also came back alive and brought back a "prisoner", which seemed to fully prove their great background.
Therefore, as they returned to the bamboo tower on the pier, the pirates and islanders along the way voluntarily made way for the two.
Mason proved with facts that it was really simple to win the respect of these "sea Darwinists".
As the young man walked up the bamboo tower, he reached out and picked up the cursed gold coin and placed it in front of him. This thing was much larger than the usual gold coin and looked like a pendant on his fingertip.
It should be high-purity gold that gave it weight.
But it was made into a very exquisite and complex shape with a unique mold, especially the large Aztec skull in the center of the gold coin, which made it look very sinister.
Around the skull were pictographic decorations that looked like sun rays. This was a typical South American indigenous civilization style, and they generally worshiped the sun.
Mason stared at it, and the information label quickly popped up:
Aztec Cursed Gold Coin/Oathbreaker Gold Coin/Devil Gold Coin
Quality: Excellent cursed item·Outstanding craftsmanship
Effect: Allows the toucher to obtain the cursed [Immortal] form. Under this form, the life force is locked and will not encounter death (except for attacks with purifying power), while enduring increasingly strong mental pressure until completely insane.
The curse can be lifted by sending the blood-stained coin back to the curse box.
This item can be used as a casting tool.
Creator: Montezuma II, Hernando Cortes
Item description: They embody the hope for peace, but ultimately become contaminated with death due to the shameless betrayal of the oathbreaker. The resentment of the dead is attached to the gold coin. They have abandoned their weakness and will no longer allow themselves to be taken away from their homeland.
Reminder:
This cursed item can be effective in any world where the Aztec civilization exists.
"Ding"
Mason's finger flicked.
The rolling cursed gold coin made a crisp sound and flew into the sky, crossing a diagonal line and falling in front of Constantine, who understood it and used magic to catch it without directly touching his skin.
"Are you happy now?"
Mason glanced at Scarecrow, who was smiling from ear to ear, and said:
"There are still 881 of these things."
"Well, I now genuinely like my new job from the bottom of my heart."
Finally, Constantine, who was in a happy mood, played with the cursed gold coin, without any fear when others saw it, but instead filled with a unique joy.
He said:"The 882 gold coins that witnessed the collapse of the empire and the extinction of the population are enough for me to repay most of the 'debts' I owed when I was young and ignorant. But why should I do that?
This cute little thing obviously has better uses."
"I'll take some of it when the time comes."
Mason said:
"The rest is up to you. I don't intend to give it to my team members. The curse power on this thing is more harmful than helpful."
"Cool, you can be more generous, Mason."
Constantine seemed to have completely forgotten about the small disagreement between the two before. He whistled and said:
"I will be more and more willing to follow you. If you keep being so generous, I will even support you unconditionally and sing praises for you.
It's so easy to please me, Mason."
"Hey...aren't you going to use it to make a cure for the Black Death?"
After listening to Mason and Scum Constantine's conversation, the weak female pirate who was brought out from Queen Annie's Revenge shuddered.
She licked her lips, which were cracked due to lack of water, and whispered:
"Are you deceiving Barbosa?"
"This girl doesn't know how to speak."
Mason glanced at her and grabbed her arm, dragging her upstairs. He pushed open the door and saw Catwoman doing yoga in the room.
The young man pushed her and let her fall next to Selina.
"I'm leaving her to you, Selina."
The young man moved his fingers and said to Catwoman:
"I'm going 'home' for a while. I'll be back in no more than four days. Is there anything you need me to bring for you?"
"My sunscreen is not enough. The sun in this place is really poisonous."
Selina swung her cat tail whip and tied up the female pirate who was trying to escape and dragged her back. She said to Mason:
"By the way, bring me some cosmetics or something. Oh, and I wrote a letter to Batman, explaining in detail why I temporarily left. Give it to him for me.
With his personality, if I don't contact him actively, he will definitely be suspicious."
"I need a new flying backpack, boss."
Kite Man, who was responsible for collecting various materials on Turtle Island, also raised his hand and said:
"If possible, make a few more backups for me."
"What about you, John?"
Mason noted the needs of his team members and looked at Scum Constantine, who was already sitting on the side and starting to study the cursed gold coins. He said:
"Do you need me to help you pray for the safety of Zatanna?"
"You will do me a big favor by staying away from her. Remember, the farther the better!"
Constantine threw a folded paper over without looking back, and said to Mason:
"This is the address of a small shop in Gotham City that specializes in selling various magic items. When you go there, mention my name and help me purchase some things. The composition of these gold coins is very interesting. I want to study it carefully.
Also, bring me a few packs of cigarettes.""Just give me as many Silkas as possible."
"Okay, that's settled."
Mason put his notebook back into his pocket and took the invisibility cloak from Catwoman, putting it on his arm.
He crouched down and looked at the female pirate who was tied up by her cat tail.
She was quite pretty, a typical South American beauty with a well-proportioned figure, and her years of life at sea had made her as agile as a brown leopard.
However, the wind and rain had taken a toll on her hair, which was not as charming as Selena's. Being locked up by Barbossa for several days had left her weak, without even the strength to draw her sword.
"Angelina Titch! The daughter of Blackbeard, one of Jack Sparrow's more than two hundred lovers, the first mate of Queen Anne's Revenge, and a remarkable woman who can drink from the Fountain of Youth and live to 150 without aging before death."
Mason stared into her eyes and accurately stated her identity.
He said to the female pirate, "I saved you from Barbossa's hands, which means you owe me a favor. I won't get involved in the feud between you and Barbossa over your father's death, and I have nothing to do with your attempt to reclaim the Queen Anne's Revenge.
But you must repay me for saving your life.
I know you have a voodoo doll of Jack Sparrow, which your father made himself, and I also know that your father had some knowledge of voodoo.
For the next five days, you can play a sailing game with this beautiful big sister beside you. If you can give me what I want when I come back, I will give you a generous reward."
As he spoke, he pinched the female pirate's mouth shut and poured a blue potion from his belt into her mouth.
The female pirate struggled, thinking it was poison, but when Mason released her, she felt her weak body rapidly recovering her strength in a strange way.
After completing this task, Mason stood up, waved goodbye to his team, and walked to the door of the bamboo house. He took out the identity card of K Team Captain with two fingers and pasted it on the bamboo door with the key of this world.
As if some kind of projection magic was activated at this moment, a brass door handle appeared on the bamboo door in the faint light.
Mason turned the handle and pushed the door open.
To the female pirate's surprise, the door that should have led to the beach was now a swirling screen of light. She watched Mason disappear into the screen for several seconds until the bamboo door closed on its own.
"Where did he go?"
The female pirate, who had regained some energy from the vitality potion, stood up quickly, searching for a weapon she could use while asking the three strange people in the room, "Are you really wizards?"
"Yes, we are terrible wizards," Catwoman stepped forward.With her arms crossed, she looked at the female pirate in front of her in a way that only a woman could, and after a few seconds, she said to Angelina as if she had seen an unbearable flaw:
"Your figure still has a lot of room for improvement. Your waist and hips are almost perfect, but you need to practice yoga to strengthen your advantages. However, your skin is too bad, and your hygiene habits are also very poor. This seriously undermines your charm, but it's okay. Sister will teach you these important knowledge in the next few days.
Charles! Where is my ship?
The K fleet of pirates is about to set sail!"
"Uh, Selena, our ship was destroyed by Queen Annie's Revenge."
Kite Man spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Well, then buy a new one!"
Catwoman rolled her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and scolded like the queen:
"The money here is meaningless to us. Go to the town and find a decent pirate to buy a ship. Haven't you heard what Mason said? We need to find the treasure left by the great pirate Blackbeard here in the next few days, and this little girl with a kitten's mind is our best guide."
"Pa!"
Selena's cat tail whip hit Angelina's wrist accurately as she tried to pick up a small knife secretly. The painful lesson immediately made the female pirate obedient.
"John, are you coming or not?"
Selena turned around and looked at Zatanna.
The Black Magician's attention was all on the gold coins in his hand, and he didn't even turn his head and said:

"Not interested. You guys go. Baby, men always have to be busy with their careers. I brought back a few voodoo corpses outside, and you can take them on the ship. I'll make a few control symbols for you later. Do you want me to curse this lady? She doesn't seem very obedient."
"No need!"
Catwoman glanced at Angelina who was bowing her head. She moved her fingers and showed a charming smile:
"Training a cat? I'm the best at it. This girl will become a great sailing kitten. I've decided that she will be the first mate of the K fleet pirate group. Hey, little kitten, tell sister, where did your father bury the treasure?"
Angelina looked at Selena.
A woman's intuition told her that this beautiful sister was a very dangerous person. Instead of resisting, she obediently replied:
"It's nearby. If the wind is favorable, we can get there in a day, but it's in a very dangerous place. I buried it on a hill near Prince Port. That country has been completely occupied by zombies."
"Zombies? No big deal."
Catwoman nodded and said to Kite Man:
"Charles, my second mate, did you hear that? We're going to an undead place for an adventure. Prepare heavy firepower in advance and bring out all the magical potions left by Mason.""This is K team's first mission in this world, let's make it perfect, OK?"
"Yes, Captain Black Cat."
Kite Man was very good at this kind of "role-playing" game because of his previous experience following the Joker.
He stood up and bowed politely to the captain, then went out to greet the old one-eyed sailor who was fooling around with a few women who had been taken in, and went to buy a boat to prepare for departure.
A few hours later, at noon.
Kite Man spent a lot of money to arrange everything properly, and Catwoman, fully armed, was ready to embark on her adventure in this world.
Before she left, Zatanna gave Selina the prepared voodoo corpse control order, and whispered:
"Mason's cooperation with Barbosa is not reliable. Be careful of his pirates attacking you on the way to coerce Mason into making concessions. If things get bad, abandon the ship.
I know Charles has a vehicle that can safely take you back."
"Huh? When did you change your mind?"
Selina looked at Zatanna in surprise and said:
"John, the style of this proper arrangement is not like you. How come? Are you really convinced by Mason in just a few hours?
Or is it that my little brother really has something on you, you old fox?
This is really rare."
Constantine shook his head and said:
"Selina, have you ever felt that Mason has many secrets, such as how he knows so much about this world, and also some of my secrets that he knows like the back of his hand.
As far as I know, you were the first person in our group to meet him.
We should talk about this issue sometime later. Lady Cat, don't you want to see yourself being played by Mason?"
"I think he's pretty good."
Catwoman said with a straight face:
"Compared to you, I trust Mason more, so I refuse to discuss this."
"I didn't say he's not good. His generosity satisfies me."
Constantine lit a cigarette and said softly:
"But he can become very aggressive and 'dangerous' in certain situations. I really think you should learn more from the annoying Batboy.
It's good to be kind to people and make friends, but it's foolish not to be prepared."
"If you don't want to harm him, why worry about Mason's aggressiveness?"
Catwoman showed a strange smile and asked:
"Moreover, with our current situation, shouldn't we be happier the stronger the captain is? Keep your thoughts to yourself, John. Your abacus beads are all over my face.
I won't do anything boring with you."

On the other side, in the office on the top floor of the Iceberg Lounge in Gotham City, Mason crawled out of his suitcase, patted the dust off his body, and looked back.A few minutes later, Mason shook and emptied the briefcase.
The Door of Worlds, which had been removed from Old K's apartment wall, fell out of it and was secured by Mason to the wall of the office partition with an impact drill.
This freed up the magic briefcase.
The young man nodded in satisfaction, picked up the briefcase, and left the bar to return to his own cabin. He spent some time making an upgraded flying backpack for the Kite Man.
He had memorized the blueprint for this device.
But he couldn't always have Charles carry the fragile kite around on missions, so Mason planned to spend some time upgrading the equipment for his trusted little brother.
He spent nearly three hours in the shop working on engineering and alchemy, and also took the time to smelt some magic metal to be used as materials for the next stage of engineering.
After nightfall, Mason left his shop and went to the store to buy a box of Silka cigarettes for Zha Kang. Then he hailed a taxi and, following the "Gotham Gangster Terrain and Base Schematic" drawn by Kite Man, arrived near the Italian Mafia base of Falcone.
He changed into inconspicuous clothes and wandered around the nearby streets, hiding in an alley after familiarizing himself with the terrain.
He draped an invisibility cloak over his shoulders, held a delicate little birdcage in his hand, and fastened a starry mask to his face. The moment he put on the silver-gray hood, he disappeared into the hazy night.
Mason glanced up at the sky. The Bat-light hadn't lit up yet, and it wasn't time for that man's night patrol.
It was the perfect time to act.
Gotham, the city of sin, the black wizard who controls zombies is back!
