Blaze said nothing, just sat back.
He should have just sat on the ground in a funny way, but the darkness seemed to have turned into a throne, allowing the dark god to look at the group of pirates who stood up with great majesty.
Blaze placed his hands on the dark armrests, then raised his left hand to support his head, looking silently at the pirates whose legs began to tremble.
A lesson from Odin, just sit down on the throne and tell them who's boss.
He originally thought that Odin was trying to trick people, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
"Why don't you sit down?"
"Well, we don't have so many demands..." Captain Babo managed to remain calm and was the first to sit down after getting Blaze's permission.
"I promised to give you the compensation you deserved, and you gave me loyalty, which you call inexpensive."
Blaze drew inferences from Odin's example and added a follow-up to his teaching without any instruction, which was to speak in riddles instead of human language.
"Okay, okay, loyalty, loyalty!" Captain Babo was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum. Of course, it was useless for him to guarantee it alone. He turned around and glared at the pirates behind him who chose to sit on the ground because of Blaze's words.
For a moment, the pirate tavern, which used to treat trust, honesty, and loyalty as after-meal jokes, was filled with shouts of loyalty.
Seeing that the pirates were loyal because of their desire to survive, Greenland breathed a sigh of relief and then called Blaze and Audrey to have a small meeting.
"You guys go to another coordinate first. If I guess correctly, the New Moon Statue might be there, but it's definitely not enough. It's impossible for that Silver Clan member to just leave a message in Crete City. I think there's still something to be excavated here."
"Understood. You have to be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll just kill a lot of people here at most."
Blazer was ashamed because Greenland was not joking, and Audrey said seriously that if Greenland was wanted, Arcadia would shelter her.
The three separated, Blaze and Audrey went to World F, while Greenland remained in Crete City.
"Who will go shopping with me next?"
No one paid any attention to them, so the pirates ate and drank.
After Blaze left, the pirates, including Captain Barber, became tough again, or casual. They discovered Greenland's "rookie" side, and even though Greenland could easily kill them, their attitude towards Greenland was no longer "captain", but "sailor".
"Then I'll just have to let you meet my boyfriend."
Greenland opened the call, hesitated for a while, and then clicked the send button.
Naturally, there was no response to the private chat, but screams like a monster invasion were heard from the city of Crete. The pirates' expressions changed, and then the hidden door of the Burnt Eagle tavern opened.
"Huh~ I haven't been here for a long time. The Cretans are still very welcoming." The Ripper pulled at the scarf that covered half of his face, and his eyes, as sharp as a scalpel, swept into the interior of the [Burnt Eagle].
"Yes, it's the Ripper!"
"That devil who kills without blinking an eye!"
"I heard he even eats corpses!"
The pirates scattered like birds and beasts, trying to escape, but the only exit was guarded by the god of death. High-end gadgets like the teleportation crystal, like the second life, cannot be used easily.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had this reaction.”
The Ripper raised his eyebrows, his face full of curiosity. Ever since he was supported by [Hermes's Traveling Hat], NPCs were no longer scared to death when they saw him, which made him almost forget who he was.
The Ripper sat down at the negotiation table silently like a ghost in the few flickers of candlelight, and stabbed the table with a sharp dagger.
"Have a seat, everyone."
"You really ate the corpse?"
Greenland whispered in the Ripper's ear. The dampness of the feline's nose, the moist breath, and the trembling of its whiskers, all accomplished with the superb technical ability of Godlock, made the Ripper twitch subconsciously.
"Ah, found a weakness."
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 ocean 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, in their adventure to find the Fountain of Youth."
"Of course, we have no intention of betraying you. That Silver Man must have left behind restrictions on the world-class compass that only his descendants can activate."
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.
Chapter 1113 Your relationships with women are chaotic!
World F third column map.
Blaze and Audrey arrived at the Shipwreck Trench through the teleportation tower of [Hermes's Travel Hat], and then set off from the Shipwreck Trench towards their destination.
This series of maps was a sparsely populated area before the great changes.
In the past, the Holy Cross Kingdom, the Giant Kingdom Alliance, and the kingdom city-states collectively known as the Third Kingdom divided two-thirds of World U, and the remaining one-third belonged to the monster territory.
It’s not that there is a monster with extremely high intelligence leading the monsters to fight against humans, but it is a place where the Titan evil god likes to stop and look into the distant void.
Humans have already been tortured by the footsteps of the Titans, so there is no need to go to the trouble. Therefore, there are no post stations in this area, only a few abandoned camps at most. If you want to go anywhere you want, you can only walk.
But hiking is not a wise choice either. The terrain here is extremely complex and it is easy to get lost.
Fortunately, Blaze and Audrey have a powerful mount called Chicken, which can easily carry them flying in the sky.
"The destination is there." Audrey pointed the direction to the chicken while checking the location on the map. She sat in front of Blaze, looking like a princess and a knight.
"Oh, I've seen it. That is indeed the New Moon Statue, extremely conspicuous." Blaze saw the destination by sharing vision with the chicken.
"Why didn't I see it?" Audrey narrowed her eyes in confusion and put her hand across her forehead to block the sunlight, but still didn't see it.
"Ah, I saw it too. Please hold on tight, everyone." Chicken reminded, then leaned forward. Audrey immediately leaned back and pressed herself against Blaze, holding onto Blaze's belt tightly.
After tilting her vision, Audrey also saw that it was a statue built sideways. If they had not seen the other two statues not long ago and determined the coordinates, they would not have recognized the mountain in front of them as the New Moon Statue even if they turned sideways.
This is a very smart move. If a statue was built there seriously, it would be discovered soon and then turned upside down.
If it were a little more conspicuous, it would have been dug out by strangers by now.
If Bernardus really left something behind and it was picked up by a stranger, it would probably never be found again.
"So where should we go? This mountain range is huge." The chicken asked while circling in the air.
"The one who stayed by his mother's side..." Blaze remembered Bernardello leaning against the crescent moon statue, like a puppy wailing beside his mother's corpse.
At that time, Bernard was leaning against the legs of the Crescent Moon statue.
"Go to the legs."
The chicken nodded, folded its wings and rushed towards its destination, then spread its wings and stopped steadily when it got close to the ground.
The noise they made was quite loud, and the monsters hidden in the mountains lost their sight. The timid monsters quietly retreated, while the overlords among them came angrily to see who dared to invade their territory.
[Barbarian Lion Group LV250]
[A group of monsters consisting of two savage lion kings and dozens of savage lionesses]
Roar--
The Savage Lion King gave Blaze a threatening roar, then looked at the chicken with great greed. Such a big chicken must taste delicious.
The two male lions roared and ordered the female lions to hunt. The female lions pounced on their prey with more ferociousness than ever before. Then the two male lions widened their eyes.
The barbarian lions have strength ingrained in their bones. If they want to mate with a lioness, they must defeat the lioness and use their powerful strength to suppress her throughout the process.
Most of their bodies, especially the hideous scars on their faces that look like they have been through countless battles, are from lionesses.
This group of extremely ferocious, cold-blooded and unruly female lions pounced on their prey, then rolled around beside the prey to please it, turning over their bellies and making hoarse growls of courtship.
[The Savage Lion Pack has disbanded]
The male lion, who had never seen the female lions in this state, opened his mouth wide, and then the flame of jealousy erupted.
