Chapter 1112 Eagle and Youth

Most of the so-called rumors are not credible.

For example, it is said that the Ripper eats corpses, but in fact it was the Cannibal who did this. The first meeting between the two was very pleasant. One wanted to dissect the corpse, and the other wanted to eat the corpse. They hit it off and started working together immediately.

Of course, the driving force behind their close cooperation was to capture the special monster that had attacked the two of them at that time - Greenland.

The Ripper ignored Greenland's request for a duel, raised his hand and knocked on the table, and asked with a gentle and sunny face.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

The pirates sitting in front of the Ripper shook their heads violently, sweating profusely.

"What's wrong with you?"

The Ripper's expression turned cold, as if he was looking at a dead person. This attitude, as if he had a dual personality, frightened the pirates so much that they all turned pale.

"What are you doing?" Greenland asked hesitantly.

"…Sorry, this is an occupational disease. I can only maintain the appearance of a compassionate doctor for two or three sentences. If I say more than two sentences, I will become unbearable." The Ripper held his forehead and sighed, saying something that caused the temperature in the pirate tavern to drop sharply.

"Alas...why can't there be a corpse sitting in front of me? That way I can find out the problem myself if there is any."

Greenland sensed the distress signal from the pirates, but she never expected that one day she would play the role of the good policeman.

"Okay, everyone, let's talk business. I'm sure there are still some things you haven't said." Greenland knocked on the table. "We won't have the [Blood Cup of Honesty]. People need trust between each other."

Captain Babo was obedient this time.

"It can't be said that we didn't tell the truth. We can only say that this matter itself is our own speculation." Captain Babo took out a compass from his arms with a painful look on his face. He looked as if his life had been cut off.

[Dead Bear Compass]

[The compass that can calculate ocean eddies needs to be recalibrated before it can be used]

"We pirates all have our own territories. Not only for the sake of peace, but also because a compass can only calculate a limited range."

Under the gaze of the Ripper, Captain Babo wiped the sweat from his face and talked about the compass problem.

A compass can calculate not only the position of a vortex, but also where its exit is. This is natural, as vortices are constantly changing, and different vortices will have different corresponding exits or entrances.

Calculating vortices is a rather complicated matter, and is said to involve calculating the temperature and tides, weather, and even... the laws of fate by observing the moon.

Nowadays, people only have the operating instructions, and have no idea how the compass works or how to make it. Therefore, marine compasses are very rare and precious, not to mention repairs. If one breaks, there will be one less.

Most importantly, the compass has a limited calculation range and can only calculate whirlpools in that area. Once you leave that area even one meter away, the compass needs to be recalibrated.

In this industry, being able to recalibrate is like a get-out-of-jail-free card. Even if the captain dies, the one who knows how to recalibrate cannot die.

"We, we actually suspect that the Silver Man left behind an oversized world-class compass for his descendants."

"This compass can calculate the location of any whirlpool on the sea surface in the world. Only a compass of this level can support his descendants who live on land and know nothing about the ocean world to complete the adventure of finding the Fountain of Youth." "Of course, we didn't intend to betray. The silver man must have left behind the restriction that only his descendants can activate the world-class compass."

The Ripper and Greenland looked at each other and exchanged opinions.

These pirates were not lying. What they had compiled matched the content of the players who were exploring the ocean world, which was more like complaints than a strategy.

[World Class Compass] is also very reasonable.

The problem is that the world-class compass was inferred by the pirates based on their experience. Even if it exists, they don't know where to start looking for it.

The only clue was just one sentence.

Greenland analyzed it based on experience.

"[Only the eyes of an eagle can find the spring that makes even the gods feel ecstatic], this is a very simple riddle structure, a method to find the destination, and the destination. And there are specific hints in the two sentences."

If it were someone else, even other players would be confused for a moment, but she had a unique advantage, which was the trust from Blaze.

Blaze told her all the inside story of why he was looking for the Fountain of Youth, and the key to solving the mystery had been gathered.

That is Aquarius.

"The legend about Aquarius mentioned that the gods of Olympus had a cupbearer who poured wine for them that made them happy and intoxicated. The bottle that poured the wine was the Aquarius in Aquarius, and occasionally there were records that the wine was the reason why the gods remained young forever."

"Fountain of Youth." The Ripper knocked on the table, playing the role of the second-in-command in the adventure story. However, since he and Greenland were chatting privately, the pirates thought that this was just another case of him suddenly going crazy.

"Blazer said it was a fallen Aquarius, a god who had lost his godhood. Aquarius may have fallen, but Aquarius is more than just a bottle."

"It must be the first cupbearer, the goddess of youth Hebe. I heard from Blaze about the snow-white owl living in the goblin village." The Ripper pinched his nose. He was eating Athena's eggs when he found out that the owl who loved to make dirty jokes was actually Athena.

"Athena transformed into Perseus, but failed to complete the challenge. She remained a stone until she was discovered by Blaze. I think Hercules, the descendant of Perseus, does not exist in this world. Without Hercules, the goddess of youth Hebe should have been the cupbearer. Now she should have fallen for other reasons."

"Eagle's Eye, Eagle, Fall..." Greenland knocked on the table and smiled meaningfully. "Did you know? In the few stories about the goddess of youth, there are eagles."

"The Norsemen captured the goddess of youth, and it was the eagle that caused the Æsir to age."

"In Greece, the reason why the goddess of youth gave up the position of cupbearer was that she married Hercules, and was replaced by a beautiful boy captured by Zeus. But in fact, even if Hercules didn't exist, Zeus would still be attracted to the beautiful boy and kick the goddess of youth away in order to let the beautiful boy pour wine for him."

"And Zeus was also incarnated as an eagle when he captured the beautiful boy."

"So the thing that can lead to the fountain of youth should be hidden in a place related to the eagle. That thing might be a world-class compass. But..." Greenland said in a surprised tone, holding the back of his head with his hands and putting his feet on the table.

"An eagle has two eyes, so that world-class compass will either have two or be split in two."

The pirates were in great torment because the Ripper and Greenland said nothing, but occasionally rolled their eyes, sighed, or moved a few times, which was very strange.
