"Sooner or later I have to replace Sean's broken bed." Plisson sighed, and then sat down on the small bed in the captain's room of the Ghost Sheep. What he was thinking about at this moment was Cary. A soft mattress on another ship that Ann led the crew.
"When I was in Santan Town, I had too many things to deal with and no free time, and I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I never opened this thing to take a look." Plisson breathed a sigh of relief and said With a thought, he took out the black box containing the Wilson family's treasure map from the Eternal Core.
"But it's different now."
Pleasant looked at the mark on the black box, the black feather crow emblem belonging to the hereditary marquis family - the Wilson family. The thoughts in my heart drifted slightly into the distance.
If that incident 30 years ago had not happened, the Wilson family had not been wiped out, and the old guy had not defected to become a pirate, but had completed his studies at Nemean University and continued to be a dandy in the South, then it would probably have been The old guy has now inherited the title of Marquis.
And he doesn't have to go through so many twists and turns. He can honestly be the son of a marquis. When the old guy dies, he can then naturally carry the platinum medal of the marquis on his chest and become a nobleman waiting to die. In this extremely hypocritical and cruel world, he felt the decadent capitalism of Tianying, and sank into it until he grew old.
If this is really the case, he might be able to become friends with the son of the Grand Duke of Nemeans in the "Lion-Hearted City".
Such an opening can be said to be the template for male protagonists in farming novels.
It's a pity that something happened to his family before he was born. When he was born into this world, the template of a male protagonist he could have disappeared. The reality only gave him a half-crazy father who was suspected of being contaminated by an evil god and a father. A frail mother, and a world that is both cruel and unfamiliar.
His template suddenly changed from a male protagonist in a farming novel to a miserable supporting character in a genre fantasy work, and the difficulty of survival instantly increased.
Fortunately, not long ago, he received a selfless gift from a former time traveler, and his template was promoted from a miserable supporting role in a fantasy novel to a protagonist in a system-friendly novel, rising by more than one level at once.
Even so, his current situation is still not too good. Although he serves as the host of the core space, the core itself still has many threats. The core of the body located in the ruins of the gods may encounter the prying eyes of the top powerhouses in the world.
The lower-level awakened Plissen, and the extremely weak old god Nuo Zero, not to mention the "divine saint" standing at the top of the world, it is estimated that any mid-level legend can penetrate the current core space.
"There is still a long way to go." Plisson sighed, then picked up the black box on the bed and opened the lid.
Stored in the box is a rather primitive sheepskin scroll.
"I can't dwell too much on the past." Plisson picked up the parchment scroll in the box and opened it.
The map was made using unknown magical means. It looked blank to ordinary people, but people from the Wilson family could see the specially-made content when they looked at the scroll.
As he expected, there was a map drawn on the scroll, and the rough outline of the map was the same as the topography of the Pato Islands and its surroundings.
"Looks like I made the right bet." Pleasant's finger slid gently on the map. In the upper right corner of the map, a bright red circle is very eye-catching.
Ever since he left the Wrath, he had been thinking about where in the north of the empire was the Wilson family's treasure hidden? After extensive investigation and thinking, Plisson felt that the two most likely places were the endless sea bordering the Far North Abyss and the land where he was now, the Pato Islands.
Because there are only these two places in the North with a large number of unoccupied small islands, burying the treasure in one of them is tantamount to the safest and most reliable, and compared to the endless sea with many sea beasts, Pa It is safer to bury treasures on the Islands.
This is also the reason why he asked Kalian to lead most of the crew to Kaimao City. Kaimao City is located in the center of the northern part of the Pato Islands. It is surrounded by as many small floating islands as stars. If treasures are buried in the Pato Islands, , this area is a perfect place.
And what's on the map now proves that Plisson's guess is correct.
The treasure is not only buried in the Pato Islands, but also on an unexplored desert island near Kaimao City.
Just as Pleasant was about to take a closer look at the map, a mechanical sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Drip, drip, drip, drip."
"It has been detected that the host has met the special conditions for the hidden mission. The hidden mission is now started."
The mechanical voice fell, and then the mission content appeared in front of Pleasant's eyes.
Hidden Mission [Family Treasure]
Mission Introduction [Your family has an ancient history. It was once prosperous and wealthy. When it was strong, it had a good say in the entire empire. Although your family has been destroyed now, the wealth it left behind is not. Without letting others get involved, those priceless things may be waiting for you to dig and discover in some dark corner. 】
Mission goal [Obtain the Wilson family's "treasure"]
Task time [3 months]
Mission Punishment [Body Alienation]
Mission reward [a 20-sided dice, a legendary magic pattern enchantment opportunity, and a holy relic. 】
When the message from the core imprint gradually disappeared from Pleasant's mind, he heard Nuo Ling's familiar words in his ears again.
Nuo Ling: "Host, I wish you good luck!"
Pleasant: "???"
what happened? Brother Bin, you are so unreasonable, why did you do such a big job for me, body alienation? I never thought about transforming into a mutant warrior.
Plissen didn't expect that this sudden additional hidden mission would actually have a mission penalty, body alienation? The mission didn't say anything about alienation. The deterrent effect of this punishment could be said to be instantaneous, and even the motivation to complete the mission with Pleasant increased a lot.
"Three months, okay, okay, there's still plenty of time." Plisson breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I have to say that the reward for this mission is really generous. If I get the treasure of the Wilson family, plus the reward for this mission, I will probably be done with it. The feeling of satisfaction this time may be no less than seven rewards. Jin Zan has lost 12 consecutive games." Plisson clenched his fists and smiled again on his pale face.
He now has a new goal.
.......
The northern border of the empire and the southern sea boundary.
An ordinary imperial warship was sailing slowly in the waters bordering the north and south. The blue Sky Eagle Empire flag was slightly raised with the sea breeze, and the eagle on it seemed to open its arms. wing.
A private stood on the deck of the warship, standing guard for a long time, making him slightly tired.
Suddenly, there seemed to be something extra in Private's eyes.
On the blue sea, a huge black object suddenly appeared. The object was immeasurably huge, resembling a black mountain. It stands directly above the sea, giving people an unreal and illusive feeling.
"Look, then..."
The private just wanted to call out to his comrades who were standing guard like him, but he found that the behemoth that was just in front of him had disappeared above the sea.
"What's wrong?" the companion asked the private.
"It's nothing, I'm just dazzled." The private waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"It must be because I didn't sleep last night. Looking at the sea for a long time can cause hallucinations." Private said mockingly to himself, and then sighed deeply.
Was what happened just now really just an illusion?
...
"Earl, we seem to have been discovered just now." A floating skull slowly floated to the right side of the Ghost Earl. The upper forehead and lower jaw of the skull's mouth shook slightly, and then it made a very unpleasant sound.
"Don't worry, they are just ordinary passers-by."
The Ghost Earl, wearing a shabby coat, was still standing on the bow of the ghost ship with a cane. The candle lantern he held in his right hand was emitting incandescent light in the surrounding darkness.
"When the Black Emperor moves through space, it will always leave an afterimage in the real world. Since it has no entity, even if it is seen, most people will think it is an illusion." The Ghost Earl's voice was very hoarse, like someone Scratching the dry bark with your fingernails was harsh and unpleasant, "It won't affect us."
"Sorry, Earl, I was overthinking it." The skull made a voice again.
The Ghost Earl looked at the skull next to him and asked: "How long will it take to get to Norton?"
"According to the Black Emperor's current space stealth speed, we will be able to reach Norton in almost a month."
"A month?"
"Because Earl, you said you didn't want to attract attention and attract annoying people, so we used space stealth, which will of course be slower than sailing directly from the real world." The skull explained.
"But there are still nasty guys entering the ghost ship." The Ghost Earl said calmly.
"We don't know what ability that guy used to avoid our observation and move in space with the Black Emperor. This seems to be beyond the scope of what humans can achieve."
"That should be his divine power, a very interesting special ability." The Ghost Earl looked back at the green slime still sticking to the deck and responded to the skull.
"this......."
The Ghost Count placed the lantern in his right hand on the deck, then reached into his coat pocket and took out a seal. The pattern on the seal was very strange. A golden apple stands in the center, with a twisted tree trunk behind it, and the surrounding area is surrounded by countless twisted thorns and branches.
"After Grand Duke Rogge left, these guys hiding in the shadows finally couldn't hold it anymore." The Ghost Earl put the mark back into his pocket, and then looked up at the dark sky.
"Garden of Eden.........."
The Ghost Earl looked at the sky quietly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
After a while, he picked up the lantern placed on the deck. The candle burning in the lamp seemed to have condensed forever. No matter how strong the incandescent fire burned, the candle showed no sign of diminishing.
"Field, we'll be there soon."
The Ghost Earl looked at the candle in his hand, like a father looking at his son, his cloudy eyes full of love.
The flame burning on the candle continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye as the Ghost Earl spoke. And the firelight emitted by the flame almost turned into a dark green color the moment the Ghost Earl said "Field".
"It's time for us to have closure there...it will all end there."
