Chapter 21 Aztec Gold Coins
That day, a player uploaded a video.
In the dark night, with the moon high in the sky, his ship sailed on the boundless ocean.
This player intended to take advantage of the night, while others slept, and the idea of not being plundered, to travel from Royal Port to Havana.
However, during the voyage, a strange black three-masted schooner appeared.
At first, he thought it was a large pirate ship, and quickly turned his ship around to accelerate and escape.
Yet, his ship was soon overtaken by the three-masted schooner.
When he saw the pirates on the ship clearly, the player couldn't even speak properly.
They weren't pirates at all; they looked more like a ship full of ghostly ghouls.
Those ghosts rushed over without a word, plundered all the supplies on the ship, and threw the player into the sea to drown.
In the video, the player cried, lamenting that the ship's supplies were all his belongings from over a month, and now they were all gone.
This video quickly went viral.
Players were all discussing what this ghost ship could be.
"It's probably a hidden BOSS in the game."
"This is a bit magical; there's no related information in the game."
"This is the fun of the game, waiting for us to discover."
"I also want to go to that sea area and see what that ship is."
So, that day, many streamers went to that sea area, but unfortunately, they did not see the ghost ship appear.
The appearance of that ship was random; one could only blame the player for bad luck.
At this moment, Lena Morgen was piloting her ship back to Royal Port.
"Wow, Captain, I've fished up treasure again~"
Mona said happily.
Immediately, a box was pulled up.
Seeing this treasure chest, several people gathered around, their eyes gleaming.
"I wonder what good treasure it will be."
Lena recalled fishing up a rare pistol last time, and she hadn't replaced that gun until now.
She hoped for another weapon.
However, when she opened the box, she found only one coin inside.
The coin was strung with a thin thread, allowing it to be worn around the neck.
"[Obtained Aztec Gold Coin. This coin has an unknown effect; please wear it carefully. Elizabeth of Royal Port might be very interested in this coin.]"
Lena tried wearing it but found no change in her attributes.
Before figuring out the specific use of this coin, she decided not to wear it for now.
Elizabeth, if she remembered correctly, was Governor Swann's daughter in Royal Port.
This should be a hidden quest.
Soon, they arrived at Royal Port.
Royal Port was now bustling with people, and the harbor was filled with all kinds of ships.
Merchants came and went in an endless stream.
The goods in each port were limited; if you arrived late, you couldn't purchase them.
So, you could see merchants crowding the shop entrances, some even paying extra to purchase.
Pirates of the Caribbean had now become a phenomenon-level game, known to everyone in the gaming world.
Lena took the coin to the Governor's mansion and requested to meet Elizabeth.
Upon learning that someone had found the coin, Elizabeth rushed out.
Elizabeth's face lit up with joy: "That's wonderful! Thank you for finding it. As a token of my gratitude, please accept my gift."
"[Congratulations! You have obtained an epic item: Elizabeth's Pendant.]"
"[Elizabeth's Pendant]"
"[Type]: Accessory"
"[Level]: 35"
"[Quality]: Epic"
"[Effect One]: When worn, greatly increases Stamina recovery rate."
"[Effect Two]: Skills have 30% reduced cooldown time."
"[Effect Three]: Skill damage increased by 30%."
Upon seeing the effects of this accessory, Lena was stunned; it actually had such effects.
All three effects were top-tier, truly worthy of an epic item.
Such effects were perfect for a Duelist.
Lena was exactly Level 35, so she hung this beautiful pendant around her neck.
At the same time, she posted the attributes of this pendant in the world channel, and the channel instantly exploded.
"Holy moly, this must be the first epic pendant on the entire server."
"These attributes are too exaggerated."
"It makes people drool."
"If this were sold, it would be worth hundreds of thousands."
"Hundreds of thousands? You're underestimating the value of items here. Rich players would be willing to pay millions."
"Where did she get it?"
Without Lena having to answer, the viewers in her live stream had already answered for her.
"Leni Sis got it from a treasure chest she fished up on her way back."
"I'm going to that sea area to fish for treasure too."
Immediately, a large number of players rushed to that sea area, trying to fish up the same coin.
However, at this moment, the entire server received an announcement.
"[Hidden Quest Triggered: Curse of the Black Pearl.]"
"[The Black Pearl will attack Royal Port tonight. Players can choose to assist Royal Port in defense, or choose to evacuate in time.]"
The sudden news left players at a loss.
"What the heck, Royal Port is going to be attacked?"
"What is the Black Pearl?"
"This is interesting. No trading today; I'll watch the excitement in Royal Port."
"Who triggered it?"
No player knew how this quest was triggered.
They hadn't seen the Pirates of the Caribbean movie; everything was still under exploration.
Only Matthias Engel knew that the main storyline had finally begun.
His setting at the time was that once enough players reached Level 30, there would be a chance to fish up Aztec Gold Coins at sea.
This coin was a cursed coin, and also the last coin that the pirate Barbossa had been searching for.
Only by finding this coin could he lift the Black Pearl's curse.
Royal Port suddenly became lively.
Players from all over gathered here, wanting to see what would happen tonight.
After all, a server-wide announcement was a very rare occurrence.
The guild leaders of various alliances also issued summons to their members, ordering them to be on standby in Royal Port tonight.
As evening approached, the harbor was packed with ships, three layers deep inside and three layers outside.
The entire Royal Port was so full of people that other players couldn't even disembark, only able to wait quietly on their ships.
"Front row selling melon seeds, fruits, and drinks."
"Good quality Lemon C cold drink, 1 gold coin a cup."
Unscrupulous merchants had already started setting up stalls and selling goods, making a fortune at this time.
Various streamers were also poised and ready at the harbor.
Among them, Lena Morgen's live stream was the most popular, as she was the first streamer to stream Pirates of the Caribbean.
At this moment, Leni was at the harbor, gathered with members of the MG Alliance.
Mo Chen: "The Black Pearl this time should be a World BOSS. We must go all out to achieve the highest DPS."
Lena: "It's not certain if the reward is for the final kill or the highest DPS kill, so let's keep a few people to output in the final stage."
The sky gradually darkened, and Royal Port was enveloped in night.
A voice, like a ghost from hell, suddenly appeared: "Who took my coin? Hand it over quickly!"
Accompanying this voice, a dark and gigantic three-masted ship appeared on the horizon.
