Chapter 181: Career compatibility 75, [Norwich Treasure]
Chapter 181: Career compatibility 75%, [Norwich Treasure]
Although everyone on board the White Dove was unwilling to do so, Julian had said so, so they had no choice but to give up and silently exit the [Magnetic Sea Area].
Of course, the [White Dove] may not have given up the pursuit of the [Thunder].
But when the [Black Swan] is present, it will not take action again.
Not far away, looking at the retreating "White Dove", the captain of the "Heron", Lan, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the [Thunder Horn] and thought to herself.
“Next time we meet, I will defeat you openly!”
…
…
【Black Swan】
Shaan neither knew nor cared about the thoughts of other people in this sea area.
At this time, he was standing on the bow deck of the ship, with his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling slowly.
If it weren't for the dark clouds above his head, the roaring of thunder on the surrounding sea, and the rising and falling of the waves, most people would think that he was taking a nap in the warm afternoon sunshine!
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket crashed down from the pitch-black clouds, landing directly on the Black Swan, which was half metal and half wood.
The sizzling lightning exploded immediately, turning into snakes of lightning that swam on the deck, mast, and hull.
Seeing that the components on the ship were about to turn black under the ravages of the lightning arc, Xia En suddenly snorted coldly.
thorn la la—
The Razer, which was showing its ferocious look one second and was ready to wreak havoc, seemed to be greatly frightened the next second, restrained its power and crawled down obediently.
Soon, an attraction radiated from the hulls of Shane and the [Black Swan], gradually absorbing these peaceful snakes.
70% of it was absorbed into Xia En's body.
The remaining 30% will be absorbed by the magic pattern on the [Black Swan].
The auras of both of them are becoming thicker and thicker, like a deep abyss or a mountain, and seem to carry the majesty of thunder.
Then, Xia En opened his eyes.
A blue-purple electric light flashed in his eyes, illuminating the boat.
Subsequently, the electric light gradually distorted and changed, and finally turned into a strange character, which disappeared in Xia En's eyes.
【Comprehensive quality: 3.05→3.17! 】
【Black Swan "Mysterious" +2! 】
【Current "Storm Power": No attributes (2), Extreme Cold (0), Embers (1), Magnetic Thunder (1)! 】
【Career fit: 75%! 】
“This time, did it only increase by 0.12?”
Looking at the information appearing on the panel, Xia En was thoughtful.
“It seems that the strengthening effect of the power of the storm will also decrease as the number of plunders increases.”
Xia En was a little regretful, but not surprised.
On the way to [Magnetic Sea Area], he also encountered two ordinary storms. The combined increase in overall quality was only 0.05!
“However, the distance compatibility has reached 100%, and only the last special storm is left, which can be regarded as another step towards the fourth level.”
Thinking of this, Xia En's expression was a little strange.
This special storm cannot be found just by looking for it.
After plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he really doesn’t know where to look for the last special storm.
Another thing worth mentioning is.
After this plundering storm, mysterious characters representing [magnetic thunder] condensed in Xia En's eyes, and he had a certain degree of control over thunder and lightning.
This made Xia En realize something.
Whether it is a magic pattern or a character, it is essentially an extension of words. If you master it, you can master the corresponding secret power.
The reason why such characters did not appear when plundering [Arctic Storm] and [Ember Storm] was probably because he did not understand these two secret powers thoroughly enough.
Furthermore, [Magnetic Thunderstorm] is relatively simple and crude.
Just when Xia En was about to delve deeper into one or two.
On the deck, a translucent figure gradually appeared, peeking at him quietly.
“Vivian?”
Xia En looked towards the corner strangely.
“…woo!”
“No, not me!”
Miss Ghost was startled. She waved her hands hurriedly and her figure quickly faded, as if she wanted to hide.
Since Xia En wanted to absorb the power of [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he was worried that it would affect other crew members, so he did the same thing and asked them to take shelter on the [Diamond Star].
However, Vivian’s crystal coffin was placed on the Black Swan, and she couldn’t leave even if she wanted to.
In fact, during the last raid on [Ember Storm], Vivian was also hiding in the cabin, but she never showed up.
Furthermore, since Xia En returned from the Elf Temple, Vivian's attitude has become a little weird.
She rarely appeared in front of Xia En, as if she had truly become a ghost, and her presence was greatly reduced.
Even during several meals, she refused to show up.
This point is enough to show that the situation is not simple.
But behind the scenes, Vivian would secretly peek at Xia En like she did today.
Such a contradictory attitude really puzzled Xia En.
Actually, Xia En also had some guesses in his heart.
Vivian’s secret profession is [Witch of Annihilation], which is inextricably linked to the destruction of the elves.
Perhaps she just noticed the change in Xia En's return to the past, and her attitude became a little strange.
now think of it.
It may not be a coincidence that Vivian's Crystal Coffin appears together with [Laila's Magical Notes] in [Ember Sanctuary].
At the moment, there happens to be no other crew members on board.
Xia En simply walked up to Miss Ghost and asked directly.
“Why have you been avoiding me during this time?”
“Ouch!”
Vivian is not very courageous to begin with.
At this time, Xia En still had the power of thunder that could best restrain creatures like ghosts, which frightened her so much that her eyes turned red and tears flowed down.
Xia En was dumbfounded.
Ghost, can you still cry?
Normal ghosts probably wouldn't cry, but Vivian can even eat, so she can't explain it with common sense.
But when Vivian cried, Xia En was really numb.
Whether he was in his previous life or this life, he did not have much experience in dealing with this situation.
“Vivian, please stop crying, okay?”
“I’m just asking, I won’t hurt you.”
“Woooo…really?”
Vivian wiped her tears and raised her head carefully and asked.
Xia En vowed: "Of course, I am your captain!"
"But you have to tell me what's going on with you these days, right?"
Vivian said after receiving Xia En's assurance.
“More than half a month ago, I suddenly remembered something.”
"I seem to...have seen you a long, long time ago, and that big man with fire all over his body."
Hearing this, Xia En's heart skipped a beat.
Have seen myself and Yan Yan! ?
Could it be said that Vivian was also a resident of the Emerald Island and a survivor of the Wrath of God?
But when asked about [Emerald Island], Vivian looked confused and did not recall any new memories.
Xia En looked at Vivian's face, but her face was still covered with an invisible veil, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
Simply put, Xia En can only see that she is good-looking. But I don’t know where it is good-looking or to what extent it is good-looking.
Only that feeling of déjà vu lingers.
Suddenly, Xia En had a bold guess in his heart—
He and Vivian may have met in the future!
If it can be said that the Elf Temple has a backup plan to temporarily return to the past, then it is possible for Xia En to return to the past again in the future.
He and Vivian may have had a relationship at that time.
Of course, this guess is a bit outrageous, and even Xia En cannot be sure.
Just when Xia En’s thoughts were ups and downs.
Vivian reminded: "Captain Shane, there are two pirate ships approaching!"
Xia En came to his senses belatedly and looked towards the sea.
In the calming storm, [Siren] and [Thunder] are slowly approaching [Black Swan].
That cautious and slow gesture, as if afraid of causing any misunderstanding.
“It’s actually them!”
Xia En was a little surprised, but a smile appeared on his lips.
He had noticed the presence of other ships on the sea before, but he was too absorbed in the pleasure of plundering the storm to observe them carefully.
After all, the hull of the [Black Swan] has grown larger than these two ships now.
Among ships of the same size, the performance of the [Black Swan] is the strongest!
The two pirate ships that were so feared in the past no longer pose the slightest threat to Xia En now.
…
…
It didn’t take long.
Shaan invited "Thunder Tooth" Loren and "Ye Ji" Alyssa to the deck of the [Black Swan].
Xia En sighed with emotion when he saw the two people who were already third-level secret pathers.
“It’s been a long time since we said goodbye to [Silver Moon Island].”
He was emotional, and Loren and Alyssa were even more emotional.
When we first met, the [Black Swan] was still an unknown ship, and Xia En himself was only a first-level mystic.
Alyssa also boarded the [Black Swan] and showed her strength, trying to take Joey away from the ship.
Now, looking at the brand new ship, Loren and Alyssa both looked a little dazed.
From this ship, you can still vaguely see some shadows of the past.
But whether it’s the towering side of the ship, the main guns covered with magic patterns, or the flat and neat deck, they are all full of extraordinary charm.
And, the most terrifying thing is...
The moment the two stepped onto the deck, they felt a mysterious gaze at the same time.
It's like...the ship is staring at them!
Once the two of them show any abnormal behavior, the ship seems to launch a fierce offensive without Xia En taking action.
Not only the ship, but also the changes in Shane himself shocked Loren and Alyssa.
Especially Alyssa.
During that meeting, she was able to overpower Xia En with the aura of a second-level mystic, showing off a very sophisticated space spell and gaining the upper hand.
But at this moment, Xia En was like a dark abyss in her eyes, and she couldn't see through it at all.
Only a little of the power of thunder can be seen remaining on his body.
Alyssa even doubted that if there was a real fight, she wouldn't be able to take even one of Xia En's moves.
“It seems that the rumors about the [Black Swan] are all true…”
“However, aren’t we all third-level secret path practitioners?”
Alyssa sighed in her heart and thought: "How can the gap between people be so big?"
“Besides, the speed of his breakthrough is too fast, isn’t it?”
To be fair, Alyssa and Loren have been promoted very quickly, and they are like geniuses among pirates.
At this time, although the two of them were a little tired, the vigor of their breaths was not comparable to that of Silver Moon Island.
But in front of Xia En, there is still a gap between a firefly and a bright moon.
Aware of this, the eyes of this "Ye Ji" were quite complicated.
She had to admit that the former little captain had grown to the point where she needed to look up to him.
Alyssa and Loren looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.
At this time, Loren completely understood why the White Dove, which had a notorious reputation on the Seven Seas, retreated without a fight.
“It’s been a long time indeed.”
Loren was very thick-skinned, and his expression soon returned to normal, and he said with a smile.
“Let me tell you, Captain Xia En was so lucky and lucky, how could he die in the [Rebellious Islands]?”
Hearing this, Xia En looked thoughtful.
That day, with the help of Mr. Heller, he entered the whirlpool with the ability to teleport, avoiding the pursuit of the [Thousand Changers].
But the pirates who were watching didn't know the truth, and maybe they thought he was dead. That's why such news came out.
However, from a certain perspective, this can be considered a good thing.
being targeted.
The previous bounty on [Black Swan] was already 3,000 gold dragon coins. If something happens again, it will probably rise even higher.
Now temporarily getting rid of the center of the whirlpool will obviously reduce the prying eyes of many people.
Especially the existence of [Thousand Changers], which gave Xia En a rare feeling of something stuck in his throat.
Suppressing his thoughts, Xia En asked the two of them.
“Have there been any other major events on the Seven Seas recently?”
This is asking for information.
If ordinary pirates come to inquire, they will definitely have to pay a certain price in exchange for information.
However, Xia En had just rescued two ships from the White Dove, and his own strength was unfathomable, so the two of them could not have any strange thoughts.
Alyssa said frankly: "The most exciting thing on the Seven Seas recently is the leak of a file numbered S3."
“This S3 document was originally the result of the Federation’s secret deciphering of ancient books. I don’t know why it spread.”
“It records the location of a special treasure.”
Xia En was also a little curious: "What treasure?"
Alyssa looked solemn: "[Norwich Treasure]!"
“Norwich…”
Shane just read the name once and couldn't help but exclaimed: "King of Pirates, Augustine Norwich!?"
Alyssa nodded: "Exactly."
Shaan was in a rather strange mood.
Not long ago, he had met the legendary pirate king in the past.
And now, news of the other party’s treasure has appeared in the Seven Seas?
Alyssa didn't know about Shane's magnificent experience, she just thought that the news shocked him, so she continued.
“Different from [Xinwang Treasure] which pays more attention to inheritance, [Norwich Treasure] contains the accumulation of his wealth throughout his life, which can be said to be as rich as any country!”
“It is said that after his death, his twelve apostles tried every means but failed to find the location of the [Norwich Treasure].”
“So after the news was released, the pirates at sea were all excited.”
Alyssa glanced at the purple sea not far away and said frankly.
“Actually, half of the reason why I came to [Magnetic Sea Area] this time was to help this fool out, and the other half was to explore this treasure.”
Xia En noticed immediately: "You mean?"
“According to rumors, part of the [Norwich Treasure] is buried on an island in the center of this [Magnetic Sea Area]!”
“It’s called...[Sand Island]!”
