"It is a city-state that the Greenland mercenaries pledged allegiance to during their time, and it has maintained its independence to this day thanks to its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain."

"That's really messy!" Blaze slapped his forehead. The evil stranger could be used as a reference for how bad it was at this time.

He had long heard that the war-torn Third Kingdom was expanding its military power by any means necessary, even to the point of not sparing the attention of evil foreigners.

To put it in ancient metaphors, it is no less than having a group of weird people with words like "I am evil", "I have other evil plans", and "I am here to bring disaster" written all over their faces around you.

But now it was good news that they didn't have to go to Crete to find a tour guide.

……

Greenland, who was highly expected by Blaze and Audrey, was now lying on the operating table with her butt sticking up, having a second in-depth communication with the Ripper. This time, she was spied on even deeper, to the place where life is nurtured - the inside of the intestine, and the Ripper also made her bleed by the way - to remove the intestinal polyps.

"Medical technology has advanced. According to textbooks, this type of surgery used to require general anesthesia." The Ripper muttered while looking at the monitor.

What comforted Greenland a little was that, in addition to the fact that her hemorrhoids had not recurred, the Ripper was not speaking to her stretched buttocks this time.

"What is our relationship now?" the Ripper said suddenly.

"You're here again!?"

Chapter 1105: Get Married First

The suspected Ripper in Greenland had some mental illness. The last time he had surgery for hemorrhoids, and this time it was an operation to remove intestinal polyps. Every time he picked embarrassing situations and talked to her about embarrassing topics.

But it is true that she usually avoids embarrassing topics.

"Good question. What's the relationship?" Greenland buried her face in the operating table. There was a hole that was just big enough for her face to fit in.

"Since you knew my address, you often came to visit me, bringing me midnight snacks and breakfast, and sometimes even stayed overnight. At first, I could explain it by saying you were worried about the consequences of the box-opening incident, but it's too long. Even if I don't have a brain, I know what you were thinking."

Greenland sighed at the ground and decided not to waste any more time and quickly make her point clear, so she asked back.

"So, what kind of relationship do you expect?"

This seemed to throw the question to the Ripper, but the Ripper knew that it was Greenland who asked him to choose, and she would agree with that choice.

"Tell me, should I answer you with a dirty joke at this time?" The Ripper smiled and finished dealing with the last intestinal polyp.

"Then I will also answer you with dirty jokes, which will be more perverted and violent than yours."

"Okay, then I will answer you seriously." The Ripper patted Greenland's butt, indicating that Greenland's operation was completed and he could put on his pants.

"As for me, I plan to get married in two years, but I don't want a big wedding, just invite a few friends. Of course, I refuse to have a wedding in the virtual world. Even if you spend 90% of your time in the virtual world, you will always be the 10% of the real you when you live with me."

"…Aren't you ashamed to say such things?"

"You haven't even put on your pants yet, what should I be ashamed of?" The Ripper sighed with a headache. Greenland kept his head stuck in the toilet, imitating an ostrich.

Perhaps after the effect of the local anesthesia gradually wore off and a tingling sensation appeared, Greenland pulled his head out of the hole with a "pop".

The blushing on her face was more due to congestion than shyness.

"I refuse. I can't win in reality."

The Ripper fell silent, for he could not guess whether Greenland was now speaking of a metaphor for life or of pornography.

But according to the strategy guide given to him by Wardsifer, it is a taboo to remain silent for too long in front of Greenland. This woman who can be called a new human being will enter a state of accelerated thinking when her mind is concentrated.

A silence of more than three seconds would be considered about three minutes in Greenland's mind.

"Looks like I have to show some sincerity." The Ripper opened his white coat and slowly pulled out a piece of paper.

"Don't tell me it's a marriage proposal!"

"No, it's the latest model of two-person gaming pod, twice as big and twice as powerful. This is a project in cooperation with the government to promote relationships between men and women, and between couples, and is limited to..."

"Stop talking and take out the marriage application form in your pocket!" Greenland put on his pants neatly, rode on the back of the Ripper, and began to rummage through the Ripper's clothes.

"Are you so eager? Although marriage is not as important as it was a hundred years ago, it is still a major event in life. Let's not think about it again." The Ripper took out the folded marriage application form like a magic trick, but stretched out his arm to prevent Greenland from taking it.

"..." Greenland fell silent, then said seriously, "Listen, I am a very twisted and incomplete person, and I know myself. In the future, either I will no longer be myself, or I will feel that I am good this way."

"You want to live with the 10% of me that I don't even like, right?"

“Yes, because it’s fun.”

"Even if we live together, we will continue this relaxed and happy relationship, right?"

"Well... at least within five years, but this lifestyle might seem distorted in the eyes of others." The Ripper was somewhat worried that the progress might be too fast. He was indeed anxious to confirm the relationship. Only in this way could he manage the relationship with peace of mind.

But such radicalism seems to cause Greenland to react with stress and choose to escape.

"Ahem, if you think it's not possible, we can also start from the long ..."

Greenland took the application form from the Ripper's hand, which had been folded to the size of a card, and put it against the Ripper's lips, interrupting the Ripper's words as he was about to call it a day.

“This kind of relationship is good.”

Then she leaned forward.

"Remember to let me know if you think I'm not interesting."

……

Crete, a city built on a high mountain.

From today's perspective, this is an almost impossible building. No one can imagine how the ancient people transported building materials to such a towering mountain.

The answer is surprisingly simple, this place used to be an island, but the sea water disappeared, and the once huge island of Crete collapsed as a result, shrinking to the size of a city-state today.

It may have been a disaster, but people living in Chris City today are praising the disaster that happened who knows how many years ago, perhaps thousands of years ago.

Not only did they not suffer any losses from the disaster, they also had this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain. No army could climb the mountains to attack Crete unscathed, and Crete would not be trapped to death because [Hermes's Brigade Hat] built a teleportation tower here.

In fact, the people in Crete today are not the natives of the island of Crete.

The natives of the island of Crete withdrew because they realized some huge crisis, and were replaced by a large number of pirates who tried to take advantage of the situation and ended up having their ships stranded here.

Perhaps because they are descendants of pirates, the Cretans dress and even have physiques that are very pirate-like, even though the people here may have never touched a stream that is ankle-deep in their entire lives.

The comfortable and peaceful environment, coupled with the customs left behind by the pirates, naturally made the entire city of Crete a hotbed of crime.

Chaos, filth and greed are the main themes here.

But this place is not all evil. The pirates stranded here are carrying a large amount of treasure, and more importantly, treasure maps.

The most precious of these is undoubtedly the map that is said to lead to the fountain of youth.

On this distinctive street composed of the wreckage of a large number of giant ships, two people who don't fit in appear here.

Their silver hair made them stand out in the dark streets.

People on the street subconsciously looked at the man and the woman, their eyes focused on the silver-haired boy.

Whispers buzzed like flies around fresh meat.

"The Silver Man has appeared."

"The man who is said to be able to find the Fountain of Youth."

Chapter 1106 Stream of Consciousness Treasure Map

After leaving a message for Greenland, Blaze and Audrey headed to the city of Crete.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, Audrey still subconsciously frowned when she stepped out of the teleportation tower and landed on the floor tiles of Crete City. It was no wonder that Audrey had such a reaction. Everything in her field of vision was pitch black, and the ground felt sticky.

Blaze also frowned, partly because of the environment, but more because of the malicious gazes and whispers coming from all directions.

I've heard that this place is very chaotic, but to do it so blatantly is really underestimating us.

Blaze turned around and glanced at Audrey. The smart girl had known that this would happen, so she put on a mask to hide her features and tied her silver hair behind her head.

She was the Queen of Arcadia after all, so silver hair wasn't unusual in the appearance of strangers, but that face was instantly recognizable.

Blaze, who had exposed his face, was naturally treated as a soft persimmon by the people of Crete. Anyone who decided to follow him would probably have to fight first.

"Didn't you even warn me? I was totally underestimated."

"I like you better the way you are now."

"They like it too." Blaze sighed, took a few steps back and returned to the range of the teleportation tower.

Just as the people of Crete were laughing at Blaze for leaving his female companion behind in fear, a burly man wearing full black heavy armor walked out of the teleportation tower.

No one knows who is under the heavy armor, but the eyes of the armor emit a terrifying golden light, and the whole body of the heavy armor is covered with traces of battle that make people's scalps tingle.

This is a person who should never be provoked.

Most of the Cretans withdrew their gazes, fearing that they would be targeted by the Dark Knights, and some pretended to leave but only hid deeper into the area.

"A bunch of guys who judge people by their appearance." Blaze snorted. After wearing the [Living Spirit], he looked like a tough guy, but he was obviously a tough guy without armor.

"Come on, let's walk around here first."

Audrey took the initiative to hold Blaze's arm, but this action did not scare Blaze. This city full of dangers made Blaze focus all his attention on observing the surroundings.

The full picture of Crete gradually unfolded before them.

In addition to the distinctive houses built with shipwrecks, there are pirate flags everywhere, as well as the Cretans' self-proclaimed name - the descendants of a pirate.

The specialty here is the ancestral treasure map. However, the treasure map here is quite stream-of-consciousness, sometimes it is a sentence, sometimes it is a stone, and sometimes it is a hat.

This is the trend in Crete. People would just take something out of their home and claim it is a treasure map, bragging that they can find the treasure, and then sell it at a sky-high price.

If they can find the treasure map of 40 gold coins, they will offer gold coins, saying that it is ancient gold coins.

If you can't find it, that's your own problem. Don't ask me, because if I knew how to find it, I wouldn't sell it to you so cheaply.

This kind of rogue routine can be said to be a custom of the city of Crete, and once someone really comes to cause trouble, the people of Crete will unite against the enemy.

After all, selling treasure maps is the economic source of the city of Crete.

This tried and tested business of low cost and high return, which could cheat a fool so that the victim could go to other cities and dominate the business for a year, suffered a major blow after the appearance of strangers.

Because if the strangers find out that they have been deceived, they will really kill people, and they will have no scruples and kill people at will.

In fact, the people of Crete could have chosen not to do business with the strangers, but the strangers were really rich, and as long as they took out some real things, the strangers would not come back for revenge just because they couldn't find them.

In a sense, the foreigners reorganized the business in Crete and eliminated counterfeit goods on a large scale.

"Do you think those are real?" Audrey asked in a low voice, pointing to the skulls that seemed to be silver-plated on the shelf.

The sharp-eared merchant immediately opened his mouth and boasted about the skull.

According to merchants, this is the skull of the famous pirate Blackbeard, and the secret of Blackbeard's treasure is hidden inside.

Blackbeard was a well-known pirate who was very good at black magic and witchcraft. Speaking of pirates, it must be endless wealth, but it’s a pity that the treasure of this pirate disappeared into history along with his death.

"The story may be true, but the skull is definitely fake."

Blazer identified the skull. Although basic identification was not omnipotent and could not uncover hidden information, it was still easy to find out that it was just a skull painted with silver paint.

It is no wonder that the Cretans were disciplined by foreigners. Before the appearance of foreigners, there were not so many blessed people in the world.

"Little brother is very smart. He can see through this lie on his first visit."

A hand was placed on the merchant's table, and then a charming woman leaned over and appeared beside Blaze. She glanced at Blaze with her narrow eyes, then twisted her waist like a snake and sat on the table, picking up the skull and crossing her legs.

"There are more than a hundred Blackbeard heads on this street. Unless he is related to Hydra, at least a hundred of them are fake."

The merchant whose scam was exposed fled swiftly, without taking any of the priceless treasures that were boasted about on the table.

Apparently there is more than one fake.

"Who are you?" Blaze tilted his head, which seemed a bit impolite, but he could see some suspicion from the aura.

The fact that they dared to talk to him in his armor showed their courage, not to mention their skills as they had been with them all the way.

Even if he is not a blessed one, he is definitely not simple.

"Ah~"

Blaze suddenly realized what was going on, then lowered his head and whispered in Audrey's ear.

The woman narrowed her eyes, but still had a mature smile on her face, and she stood up straight to show off her proud figure.

"I see. They do look alike." Audrey sighed, and looked at the woman with a more scrutinizing look.

A bad premonition came to the woman's mind, but as an experienced woman, she chose to trust her instincts.

"Since you already have a female companion, I won't bother you anymore."

The woman jumped forward, calmly, without any intention of escaping, but in fact her legs had already begun to gather strength, as long as Blaze and Audrey made any move, she would immediately rush into the crowd.
