Chapter 1109: Blood Cup of Honesty

[The Burnt Eagle] In the hidden tavern, Captain Barber of the Death Bear acts as the spokesperson for the pirates, telling the story of the Fountain of Youth that has been circulating in Crete.

This took a lot of time, because the style of the city of Crete was to sell stories about treasures, and the Fountain of Youth, as the most famous treasure, had naturally been adapted into countless versions over the long years of the city of Crete.

Even for these experienced pirates, it was difficult to judge which one was true. Even the Cretans did not know how much truth and how much falsehood were in the stories they told.

In the words of the pirates, the city of Crete has become a foggy, dangerous sea with undercurrents for the ships searching for the Fountain of Youth, and the "Silver Man" is mentioned in all these versions.

This is the only clue and the compass that guides the direction.

Greenland took out a bag and placed it on the table, pushing it to Captain Babo. Captain Babo weighed it and opened the bag, revealing glittering gold coins.

The pirates' stories are not free to listen to. Everything you hear for free is fake. Only if you pay will the pirates give you something real.

"Captain Greenland, are you so arrogant now that you have changed your ways?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Greenland placed his right hand on the table, leaning forward with most of his face buried in the shadow.

"I've changed my ways because no matter what I do in the future, I can always be cleared of wrongdoing. As for dealing with you... I don't even need to mobilize my team to clear your name."

Greenland's expression and speech were extremely scary, especially his left hand hidden behind him, which seemed to disappear in the darkness, bringing a sense of danger that plunged the entire [Burnt Eagle] into deathly silence.

"Calm down, we are at the negotiating table now, right?"

"Do you believe this yourself?" Greenland took out a cup with great experience and pushed it in front of Captain Babo, followed by a bottle of red healing potion.

【Hematopoietic drugs】

[After drinking, it can accelerate the body's blood-forming ability, and the effect will be affected by factors such as bloodline and constitution. 】

"【Blood Cup of Honesty】ah." Captain Babo raised his eyebrows as he looked at the wooden barrel cup in front of him, then opened Greenland's purse, intending to grab a handful of gold coins from it.

"Then I'll have to take some compensation for this."

"Hey! Are you going to capture them all?"

"You are too greedy, old man!"

Seeing that the pirates were about to start making a fuss, Blazer flicked a copper coin in his hand onto the table. The brown copper coin spun on the table, and many pirates laughed at Blazer's low bid.

Captain Babo was looking at the copper coins in a trance, allowing the pirates behind him to take away the money bag in his hand. Until the copper coins gradually stopped spinning and the sound of collision with the table became more and more rapid, and then stopped abruptly, Captain Babo was suddenly awakened.

"Old fox." Greenland muttered softly.

The super AI that is infinitely close to a real person is the biggest selling point of "Godlock".

This is not false propaganda filled with water and official explanation like a sentence in an advertisement [180 draws for free when the server is launched], but an objective fact.

Every NPC is as close to a real person as you can get if you really experience the game. Every NPC, no matter how inconspicuous, has a vivid mood and background, as if they were specially customized. In other games, they would definitely be the main characters. But this selling point sometimes increases the difficulty of the game. For example, the cunning pirates in front of you are not written in the settings, but when the player is really fooled by them and cannot retaliate, they will jump up and down and curse.

Captain Babo was the most cunning of the pirates, and he was greedy but also extremely wise. He was not a blessed person, so he didn't know the value of the copper coin thrown by Blaze, but he could understand that Blaze threw the copper coin to quickly end the riot.

This copper coin must be worth a lot.

But he couldn't show it, because once he gave up the gold coin in his hand, the equally sharp pirates behind him would realize that the copper coin on the table was more valuable, thus causing greater commotion.

So the old guy chose to be dazed, as if a long-lost memory was awakened, and finally accepted the copper coin in silence.

Greenland was too lazy to expose the truth, even though Captain Babo not only deceived the pirates behind him, but also tried to lie to her that he had a special mission.

"Let's get started quickly." Greenland threw another dagger on the table, and at the same time taught Blaze and Audrey, two young people who had never experienced the world, what the [Blood Cup of Honesty] was.

For pirates, lying is their instinct, but if everyone is a pirate and sincerely wants to cooperate, how can they gain the trust of other pirates?

[Honest Blood Cup] appears. All you need is an empty cup, a potion that can produce blood, and a dagger to get started.

He pierced a small hole in his artery and let the blood spurt out like a fountain into an empty cup, then began to confess while drinking a blood-forming potion mixed with rum.

Once the blood fountain flows faster, it means that you are lying. It is hard to say whether it is really useful. It is mainly to show your sincerity. Sometimes you have to confess a lot of things, and the cups filled with blood can be several buckets.

Captain Barbolisso skillfully cut his wrist, only making a small cut in the artery, and a fountain of blood appeared.

Captain Barber looked at Blaze and Audrey next to Greenland, and curled the corners of his mouth hidden under his beard.

"The two new friends are quite courageous. They didn't react at all."

"What happened to me is just at the beginner's level." Audrey simply leaned back in her chair, glanced at the blood fountain of Captain Barber, and snorted indifferently.

When the stranger assassinated her, her death was quite creative.

But now she doesn't hate those strangers. After all, without those strangers' relentless pursuit, she and Herbie would not have the chance to meet Blaze, and their fate would be completely different from what it is now.

Blaze didn't react either.

"Usually I'm the one bleeding people, which is a great spectacle, but it's too boring, so I try to avoid it."

Blaze did not lower his voice deliberately, so it seemed extremely weird when the hideous and terrifying man in black armor used the clear and bright voice of a young boy to describe how to bleed people and how spectacular the scene was.

What made the battle-hardened pirates shudder was Audrey, who squinted her eyes and seemed to be enjoying something. These two were not ruthless characters, but perverts.

"Ahem!" After taking a sip of hematopoietic potion mixed with rum to build up his courage, Captain Babo slowly told one legend after another about the Fountain of Youth in the dim, flickering candlelight.

The fog-shrouded sea leading to the Fountain of Youth appeared before the three of them.
