[You released the scout beetle, and the beetle got into the gap under the tavern floor and swam along the ground. 】
[Nearby sounds begin to enter your ears little by little, and you try to distinguish the useful information...]
[The day before yesterday, the Locke pirate group and the Twinmar family had a fight on the high seas near Tangji Island. The reason was because the Locke pirate group robbed the maritime caravan belonging to the Twinmar family...]

Most of the information that pops up in the text is useless. Occasionally, you can come across some valuable information, but almost none of it can be used immediately. Remember URL
Mu You was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
After waiting for about an hour, when the food in front of the three of them had been cleared away, he finally got an interesting piece of information.
[The Dragon Knight Pirates, one of the four major pirate forces in the Evil Sea, and the son of Captain 'Dragon Knight' Finn Talon, was sentenced to a hundred years in prison by the Octopus King last month for burning down the casino opened by Octopus King Zubac. , has been sent to an undersea prison. It is said that Finn is secretly recruiting experts in prison escape to help his son escape from the underwater prison. If he can successfully rescue his son, he will give away a precious dragon training stone for free as a reward...]
Dragon training stone?
The main thing that attracted Mu You was this word.
He still has two dragon eggs in his hand that have not hatched because he does not have the means to tame dragons. Could the dragon taming stone here be a stone specially used to tame dragons?
Mu You clicked on the text of 'Dragon Training Stone'.
Instructions immediately popped up below.
[Dragon Taming Stone: A magical stone specially used to tame dragons. It is made from the fossils of ancient dragons. Drop the blood on the Dragon Taming Stone, and then feed the Dragon Taming Stone to a dragon to eat. Let the dragon be naturally compatible with the breath of the blood owner, thereby easily achieving the dragon taming effect. Each stone can only absorb one kind of blood, and each person can only tame one dragon at most, otherwise the dragons will attack each other. It became extinct a thousand years ago, and only a small number of dragon-taming stones have been inherited by a few descendants of dragon-taming families. Each one is extremely precious. 】
"It's really something to train a dragon..."
Mu You became more interested after reading the explanation. This stone would be very useful if he could get it.
Of course, this task is also very risky.
Mu You has a map of the undersea prison, but he still doesn't know how tight the so-called undersea prison's defense is.
Moreover, the undersea prison is the territory of the Octopus King. Going to the undersea prison to help people escape is equivalent to going against the Octopus King. If you are discovered, it will be very troublesome.
After thinking for a while, Mu You decided to go meet this 'Dragon Knight' first, at least to confirm whether this mission was true.
There is still a slight time difference between the Evil Spirit Sea and K City. It is already late at night in the Evil Spirit Sea. After the busiest period, the guests in the tavern gradually disperse, and it will be difficult to collect more if they stay any longer. information.
Mu You left the tavern with the panda and the mermaid, but did not go directly to the Dragon Riding Pirates' station. Instead, he went to the beach first, placed a teleportation array under the water, and teleported to the dwarf blacksmith.
Counting the time, the synthesis furnace should be repaired by now.
[You arrived in front of the blacksmith shop at the foot of the Misty Mountain. The tinkling sound of work inside had stopped. 】
[The dwarf blacksmith is sitting by the door drinking. He looks very drunk, but after seeing you, he warmly welcomes you in. 】
[Following the dwarf's guidance, you saw the synthetic furnace on the workbench. The cracks on the surface of the furnace have been repaired as before. In addition, there is a silver metal ball in a glass next to the synthesis furnace. 】
[The blacksmith tells you that during the process of repairing the synthesis furnace, the cold iron essence was not completely consumed, and there is still about one-third left. You can choose to use it to continue to build equipment, or send the iron essence back to the snow-capped mountains to be cultivated again. 】
There was a lot of iron essence left. Mu You thought for a while and realized that there was really no equipment that needed to be crafted for the time being. It would be better to send it back to the snow mountain to keep it and pick it up later when needed.
We will talk about this later. Mu You first checked the repaired stove.
[Synthesis Furnace: Hidden relics, which can synthesize multiple props into one higher-quality prop. 】
[Existing recipe:
Six pieces of equipment of the same quality are synthesized into a random piece of equipment of a higher quality. During the synthesis process, there is a chance that an ice-related entry will be added to the equipment.
Three potions of the same quality are combined into one higher-quality potion.
Six potions of the same quality have a 50% probability of being synthesized into a higher-level quality potion, and a 50% probability of being synthesized into a higher-level second-level quality potion.
The synthesis time is 4 hours, and it can accommodate up to rare quality items. 】
"Huh?"
Mu You was surprised after reading it.
This synthesis furnace was not only repaired, but its attributes also changed a lot.
First of all, the most eye-catching thing is the synthesis time. It used to take 24 hours, and only one thing can be synthesized in a day. Now it only takes 4 hours, and six pieces of equipment can be synthesized in a day, which greatly improves the efficiency!
Next is the formula.
The synthesis formula of the first equipment itself has not changed, but at the end there is an additional attribute of 'probability of adding ice entries'.
Although the specific trigger probability is not specified, this is undoubtedly a positive improvement.
In addition, a new potion recipe has been added to the recipe.
The original potion recipe is to synthesize a high-quality potion from three bottles of the same type of potion. For example, three bottles of ordinary evolution potion can be used to synthesize a bottle of high-quality evolution potion.
But the new formula can hold six bottles of the same kind of potion at a time, and in the end there is a probability of producing a potion of two levels higher quality!
A simple calculation shows that, assuming there are 12 bottles of ordinary quality potions, four bottles of fine potions can be synthesized using the original formula, or one bottle of fine potion + one bottle of rare potion.
And if you use the new formula, 12 bottles can be synthesized twice. Assuming that one level higher and two levels higher are triggered once, you will end up with one bottle of fine and one bottle of rare.
So from an expectation point of view, the consumption-to-output ratio of the two formulas is the same.
However, the biggest significance of the new formula jumping two levels at a time is: now there is a chance to produce legendary potions!
Because the synthesis furnace can only accommodate rare-level items at the highest level, using the original formula, it can only synthesize epic-level potions at the highest level.
Now, as long as you put down six bottles of rare potions at once, there is a 50% chance of synthesizing a legendary potion!
Mu You has never seen any legendary potions before. According to Vivian, it is difficult to make legendary potions directly through refining medicine. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky. At her level, she can only make legendary potions of the third level and below. The magic potion can only be refined to the highest epic level.
With the synthesis furnace, as long as he is given a sufficient amount of low-level potions, he can synthesize legendary potions all the way up. Whether it is worth it or not, at least it gives him a way to steadily produce legendary potions.
Click on the text to extract the synthesis furnace. Mu You took the furnace into the lock core space, put a bottle of ordinary evolution potion into all six cells inside, closed the lid and started synthesis.
Now that he has reached level 14, it is time to prepare for the evolution to level 15.
At level 10, because he was not good at refining potions at the time, he ended up taking a sophisticated potion and only enjoyed the 5% extra bonus.
But now that his ability to make medicine has greatly increased, and he also has a powerful weapon like a synthesis furnace, it is necessary to stack the additional special effects to the maximum for his next evolution.
Excellent potion can increase the effect of the two level buffs by an additional 5%, and for each higher quality level, the effect increases by 5%, that is, 10% for rare level, 15% for epic level, and 20% for legendary level.
The upper limit of each level buff is an additional 100% attack increase and an additional 50% damage reduction.
In other words, taking 5 bottles of rare potions at level 15 can maximize the damage reduction effect.
But if you want to maximize the effects of both buffs at the same time, the rare level is not enough. You must need 5 bottles of legendary potions!
"Five bottles of legend, based on the expectation that 12 rare bottles produce one legend, a total of 60 bottles of rare potions are needed, which is equal to 180 bottles of fine potions, or 540 bottles of ordinary potions... tsk tsk..."
When Mu You counted the number, he couldn't help but take a breath. The price to achieve perfect evolution was really high.
Fortunately, there is a steady stream of people sending him materials every day and asking him to make medicines. Now that he has enough spare medicinal materials and potions on hand, it is almost enough to make five bottles of legendary potions.
After finishing the synthesis furnace, Mu You returned to the game, said goodbye to the blacksmith, and teleported back to Knuckles Island.
He is now going to find the captain of the Dragon Knight Pirates.
This pirate group seems to be one of the four major pirate groups. It is naturally not difficult to find such a famous figure.
Mu You randomly found someone on the island to ask for directions, and exchanged his lifespan for information, and easily bought (free prostitution) information about the other party's residence.
[You arrived at Area 26 of Nax Island, searched along the coast, and soon found a castle named 'Dragon Rider's House'. 】
The main island of Knuckles is divided into 36 districts. The Dragon Knight Pirates are located in District 26, which is close to the coast. It is said that the entire District 26 has been entrusted by King Octopus to the management of Dragon Knight Finn.
Being able to build a castle on the Octopus King's territory shows the high status of this pirate group in the evil sea.
[You arrived at the gate of the 'Dragon Rider House' and were stopped by two gatekeepers dressed as pirates. They asked you about your identity in a bad tone! your choice……】
[You tell the other party that you are a 'lock-picking master'. I just heard that Dragon Knight Finn is recruiting experts in prison escape, so I recommend myself. 】
[After hearing this, the two gatekeepers looked at you with doubts in their eyes, but one of them still went in and informed you. 】
[After a while, the person who informed you walked out of the door and told you that their captain agreed to see you and asked you to go in with him. 】
[You follow the gatekeeper into the Dragon Rider's House and come to a dark and empty hall. 】
[Suddenly, a large number of pirates walked out from both sides of the hall. Each one was holding a musket and a sword. They looked at you with a threatening expression. They formed a circle in the hall and vaguely surrounded you. 】
[In front of the hall, a figure quietly appeared. It was a one-eyed pirate wearing a captain's hat, sitting on the throne deep in the hall. Through night vision, you notice that there is a black dragon lying behind the pirate. 】
[This is a giant black dragon more than ten meters long, resting with its eyes closed. Noticing the movement in the hall, the dragon opened one eye and looked at you with its huge amber pupils. The dragon's claws gently rested on the ground in front of him, but easily scratched several deep scratches on the delicate marble floor. 】
[The one-eyed pirate stood up and stroked the scales on the black dragon's neck. After being comforted by him, the black dragon closed his eyes again and purred with enjoyment from his throat. 】
[The one-eyed pirate looks at you and says: "Young man, I heard that you call yourself a master lockpicker?"]
Mu You took a look with the omniscient crystal. This one-eyed pirate was none other than the leader of the pirate group, 'Dragon Knight' Finn Talon, with a level as high as 23. And judging from the text, he actually tamed a black dragon!
[You nodded to indicate that he was right. For ordinary locks, you can open them 100% of the time. 】
["Do you know the consequences of lying to me?" Finn stared at you, exuding an aura of calmness and authority. 】
A text box popped up, and Mu You entered: "You can probably guess it."
[As you can probably guess, once you fail to prove your strength, you will be severely beaten by the pirates present, and then thrown into the sea to be buried. In this house of Dragon Riders, the rules of the Octopus King cannot save you. . 】
[You know this, but you still stand firmly where you are, without wavering at all. 】
[Finn's momentum calmed down a bit and he waved to the side. Several pirates on the side immediately sent five different styles of magic locks to you. 】
"Young man, you only have three attempts at each lock. Now, show your ability." Finn said. 】
Muyou clicked on the five locks to check. The lock levels were arranged in order from weak to strong. The unlocking success rates were 9%, 2.1%, 0.9%, 0.2%, and 0.05% respectively.
[You stretched out your hand towards the first lock and released 'Lock Heart Opening'. 】
['Click' sound, the first lock was opened by you! 】
The first lock was the most basic type of lock. Mu You only backtracked three times before opening the lock easily.
Holding the pocket watch, Muyou continued.
['Click' sound, the second lock was opened by you! 】
…
['Click' sound, the third lock was opened by you! 】
…
With a pocket watch in hand, as long as the probability of unlocking is not zero, he will definitely be able to open it. It just depends on how many times.
I had pretty good luck today. Even the fifth, most difficult lock, only took over two hundred times to successfully unlock.
Of course, from the perspective of others, all locks are a success.
[Five consecutive snapping sounds echoed in the hall. After witnessing your superb lock-picking skills, the hall suddenly became silent, and all the pirates looked at you with disbelief. 】
[At the head of the hall, Finn looked at the five locks that were opened at once, with a moved expression on his face. When he looked at you again, he seemed to see a master key. 】
["Young man, are you interested in joining our Dragon Knight Pirates?" Finn sent you a formal invitation. your choice……】
[You expressed your refusal. You are not interested in pirates. You are here today just to discuss cooperation. 】
[You have already demonstrated your abilities, now it is the other party’s turn to express their position. 】
[Finn expressed regret for not being able to recruit you, but he didn't force it, but he still expressed doubts about your suggestion to help his son escape from prison alone. 】
[Finn tells you that your lock-picking ability is very strong, but the defense of the underwater prison is not as simple as you think. There are only two ways to enter the underwater prison. One is to spend money to apply for a prison visit, and the other is to be caught for committing a crime. 】
[No matter which one you choose, you will be put on a pair of magic handcuffs when you enter. This thing will prevent you from using magic. Therefore, your lock-picking skills cannot be used in the underwater prison. 】
"Handcuffs..."
Mu You touched his chin.
Handcuffs that can restrain magic are indeed more troublesome. However, whether the magic is restrained by black magic or white magic is not specified. What is the specific situation? I am afraid that he can only know it if he goes in personally.
[You expressed to Finn that even so, you still wanted to try. However, the rewards need to be changed. 】
["Oh? What reward do you want?" Finn asked your intention. 】
[You tell the other party that if you successfully rescue his son, in addition to the original dragon training stone, you will also need to hire their pirate group for free for one day. 】
Mu You entered his request. The dragon training stone was only one aspect. The more important purpose of finding this pirate group was to borrow their power to fight against the emperor's power.
[Finn looked at you with some surprise. After thinking about it, he agreed to your conditions, but the premise is that what you hire them to do will not cause their pirate group to die or cause large-scale damage, otherwise they have the right to retreat on their own. your choice……】
[You agreed to his conditions. 】
Mu You just asked them to help resist and block the emperor's forces. The players were more precious than the pirates and would not really fight for their lives.
[You two have reached a consensus and signed a temporary contract with each other. 】
[You need to rescue Finn's son within seven days. If you cannot do this, the contract will be automatically revoked. 】
[When you meet the conditions, the other party will pay you 'Dragon Training Stone'*1 and accept your command for one day. 】
…
Half an hour later, Mu You walked out of the Dragon Rider's House and came to the commercial street of Nax Island.
The contract he signed with Finn was only for seven days. Now he had to find a way to go to prison as soon as possible and first find out what the situation was like in prison.
It's not difficult to go to jail. There are a lot of rules and regulations on this island, and you can be sent to jail if you do anything out of the ordinary.
[You were walking alone on the bustling commercial street, and suddenly you saw a bald pirate covered in tattoos in front of you, passing by with a drunken figure-step. Seeing you dressed like a foreigner, he laughed out loud: "Poor country bumpkin" ..."]
[You passed by the other party and bumped into the pirate on purpose. 】
[The drunken pirate was knocked down by you and became furious. He got up and pushed you to the ground, and launched a series of unpleasant greetings and threats at you. 】
【your choice……】
[You chose to beat the opponent violently! 】
