Players’ NPC daddy

This took a lot of time, because the style of the city of Crete was to sell stories about treasures, and the Fountain of Youth, as the most famous treasure, had naturally been adapted into countless versions over the long years of the city of Crete.

Even for these experienced pirates, it was difficult to judge which one was true. Even the Cretans did not know how much truth and how much falsehood were in the stories they told.

In the words of the pirates, the city of Crete has become a foggy, dangerous sea with undercurrents for the ships searching for the Fountain of Youth, and the "Silver Man" is mentioned in all these versions.

This is the only clue and the compass that guides the direction.

Greenland took out a bag and placed it on the table, pushing it to Captain Babo. Captain Babo weighed it and opened the bag, revealing glittering gold coins.

The pirates' stories are not free to listen to. Everything you hear for free is fake. Only if you pay will the pirates give you something real.

"Captain Greenland, are you so arrogant now that you have changed your ways?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Greenland placed his right hand on the table, leaning forward with most of his face buried in the shadow.

"I've changed my ways because no matter what I do in the future, I can always be cleared of wrongdoing. As for dealing with you... I don't even need to mobilize my team to clear your name."

Greenland's expression and speech were extremely scary, especially his left hand hidden behind him, which seemed to disappear in the darkness, bringing a sense of danger that plunged the entire [Burnt Eagle] into deathly silence.

"Calm down, we are at the negotiating table now, right?"

"Do you believe this yourself?" Greenland took out a cup with great experience and pushed it in front of Captain Babo, followed by a bottle of red healing potion.

【Hematopoietic drugs】

[After drinking, it can accelerate the body's blood-forming ability, and the effect will be affected by factors such as bloodline and constitution. 】

"【Blood Cup of Honesty】ah." Captain Babo raised his eyebrows as he looked at the wooden barrel cup in front of him, then opened Greenland's purse, intending to grab a handful of gold coins from it.

"Then I'll have to take some compensation for this."

"Hey! Are you going to capture them all?"

"You are too greedy, old man!"

Seeing that the pirates were about to start making a fuss, Blazer flicked a copper coin in his hand onto the table. The brown copper coin spun on the table, and many pirates laughed at Blazer's low bid.

Captain Babo was looking at the copper coins in a trance, allowing the pirates behind him to take away the money bag in his hand. Until the copper coins gradually stopped spinning and the sound of collision with the table became more and more rapid, and then stopped abruptly, Captain Babo was suddenly awakened.

"Old fox." Greenland muttered softly.

The super AI that is infinitely close to a real person is the biggest selling point of "Godlock".

This is not false propaganda filled with water and official explanation like a sentence in an advertisement [180 draws for free when the server is launched], but an objective fact.

Every NPC is incredibly close to real-life, and once you truly delve into the game, you'll understand just how outrageous this is. Every NPC, no matter how insignificant, has a vivid, believable mood and background, seemingly custom-made. In other games, they'd be perfectly suited to being a main character.

However, this selling point sometimes also increases the difficulty of the game. For example, the cunning pirates in front of you are not written in the settings, but when the players are really fooled by them and have no way to retaliate, they will feel it while jumping up and down and cursing.

Captain Babo was the most cunning of the pirates, and he was greedy but also extremely wise. He was not a blessed person, so he didn't know the value of the copper coin thrown by Blaze, but he could understand that Blaze threw the copper coin to quickly end the riot.

This copper coin must be worth a lot.

But he couldn't show it, because once he gave up the gold coin in his hand, the equally sharp pirates behind him would realize that the copper coin on the table was more valuable, thus causing greater commotion.

So the old guy chose to be dazed, as if a long-lost memory was awakened, and finally accepted the copper coin in silence.

Greenland was too lazy to expose the truth, even though Captain Babo not only deceived the pirates behind him, but also tried to lie to her that he had a special mission.

"Let's get started quickly." Greenland threw another dagger on the table, and at the same time taught Blaze and Audrey, two young people who had never experienced the world, what the [Blood Cup of Honesty] was.

For pirates, lying is their instinct, but if everyone is a pirate and sincerely wants to cooperate, how can they gain the trust of other pirates?

[Honest Blood Cup] appears. All you need is an empty cup, a potion that can produce blood, and a dagger to get started.

He pierced a small hole in his artery and let the blood spurt out like a fountain into an empty cup, then began to confess while drinking a blood-forming potion mixed with rum.

Once the blood fountain flows faster, it means that you are lying. It is hard to say whether it is really useful. It is mainly to show your sincerity. Sometimes you have to confess a lot of things, and the cups filled with blood can be several buckets.

Captain Barbolisso skillfully cut his wrist, only making a small cut in the artery, and a fountain of blood appeared.

Captain Barber looked at Blaze and Audrey next to Greenland, and curled the corners of his mouth hidden under his beard.

"The two new friends are quite courageous. They didn't react at all."

"What happened to me is just at the beginner's level." Audrey simply leaned back in her chair, glanced at the blood fountain of Captain Barber, and snorted indifferently.

When the stranger assassinated her, her death was quite creative.

But now she doesn't hate those strangers. After all, without those strangers' relentless pursuit, she and Herbie would not have the chance to meet Blaze, and their fate would be completely different from what it is now.

Blaze didn't react either.

"Usually I'm the one bleeding people, which is a great spectacle, but it's too boring, so I try to avoid it."

Blaze did not lower his voice deliberately, so it seemed extremely weird when the hideous and terrifying man in black armor used the clear and bright voice of a young boy to describe how to bleed people and how spectacular the scene was.

What made the battle-hardened pirates shudder was Audrey, who squinted her eyes and seemed to be enjoying something. These two were not ruthless characters, but perverts.

"Ahem!" After taking a sip of hematopoietic potion mixed with rum to build up his courage, Captain Babo slowly told one legend after another about the Fountain of Youth in the dim, flickering candlelight.

The fog-shrouded sea leading to the Fountain of Youth appeared before the three of them.

Chapter 1110 The Holy Grail and the Fountain of Youth

I have to say that the people of Crete are really good at making up stories. Captain Babo's blood was used in several buckets.

Descendants of pirates, the greedy Cretans would prescribe different remedies for different groups and provide different versions of the Fountain of Youth.

Take the Eternal Kingdom for example. As a lost kingdom, the Eternal Kingdom was submerged in the long river of history for a long time.

According to legend, the Cretans were closely related to the collapse of the powerful Eternal Kingdom and the loss of the final royal city.

Originally, there were twelve noble knights in the Eternal Kingdom. The twelve knights surrounded the noble Eternal King, and more knights surrounded the twelve knights, thus forming a perfect governance structure.

Everything was perfect until one day, something called the Holy Grail appeared. The Holy Grail allowed everyone, including the Eternal King, to see a better world. The word "better" was so attractive that the knights should devote themselves to a better kingdom. The mission of finding the Holy Grail was born.

Then, some reckless Cretan claimed that the Fountain of Youth was contained in the most precious cup in the world and only the gods could enjoy it.

As a result, the knights of the Eternal Kingdom also embarked on the journey of no return in search of the Fountain of Youth. As a result, cracks began to appear in the perfect governance structure and finally it collapsed.

Ironically, the reason why the royal city of the Eternal Kingdom has emerged in the long river of history is also because of the Cretans.

A stranger from the Fairy Kingdom found clues about the knight who had been looking for the Holy Grail in the chaotic market of Crete, and reversed the knight's route to find the location of the capital of the Eternal Kingdom.

When talking about this, the pirates were all filled with regret. They had been here for at least several decades, but in the end, they were taken advantage of by strangers. They felt very upset.

The reason why this story is mentioned is that neither the Knights of the Eternal Kingdom nor the Eternal King are fools, and the Cretans' clumsy lies cannot deceive them unless there is truth in those lies.

As for what the real thing is, the pirates have no idea. Only in the Fairy Kingdom or the Eternal Kingdom will there be subsequent clues.

Next is the most widely circulated legend about the Silver Man.

Legend has it that among the pirates who landed on Crete, there was a man who was out of place. He was spotless and his desire to find the fountain of youth was not for his own selfish desires. In all the stories about the fountain of youth, he is called the only one qualified to drink from it.

The Silver Man took the map of the Fountain of Youth from Crete, and some pirates left as a result. The remaining pirates became residents of Crete.

Of course, those pirates did not stay voluntarily, they just left too late and became the first group to be eliminated on the route to the Fountain of Youth.

Logically speaking, the island of Crete is no longer useful, but the problem is that when the sea water receded and it became the city of Crete, the man of silver returned here and left a message.

[Only with the eyes of an eagle can one find the spring water that makes even the gods feel ecstatic]

The end of the search for the Fountain of Youth became the starting point again, and the silver man disappeared without a trace.

"It is rumored that this ship, the Burnt Eagle, was the ship that the Silver Man took to Crete, so we turned this place into a hidden gathering tavern."

Captain Babo stopped his bleeding, which meant he had finished what he wanted to say.

Blaze felt a little unsatisfied and sighed regretfully. Listening to stories is an indispensable part of the treasure hunting adventure.

The old man tells good stories, the tavern with a pirate atmosphere is also nice, and the sailor playing the violin will change the music according to the ups and downs of the old man's story.

However, Captain Babo seemed to regard his regret for the end of the story as regret for no more blood spurting out, and there was a bit more fear on his face.

This is all the information the pirates can provide, and it's not their fault. If they could really come up with some decisive information, they wouldn't hand it over so easily, and they wouldn't ask for such a cheap price.

"Now it's the turn for the two guests to share what they know. You can't just come here hoping to try your luck just because Crete has the most legends about the Fountain of Youth. After all, Crete is notorious for this."

Audrey was about to speak when she felt something furry poking her leg. Greenland was using his tail to remind her to let him do the talking.

Audrey glanced at the old foxes in front of her and knew that she couldn't handle it, so she simply handed over the right to speak and see how Greenland would deal with it.

This is a great learning opportunity.

Greenland's negotiations were quite sharp. She first generously admitted that she did have definite clues, and even revealed that the silver man was actually the ancestor of the Acadians, but then she asked the pirates to hand over the treasure maps in exchange.

The atmosphere in the pirate tavern suddenly fell into a state of war at any time, and Greenland's speech was like a robbery.

However, the possibility of fighting at any time means that there will be no fighting. A pirate tried to overturn the table, but Greenland just put his feet on the table. The pirate's face turned purple, and the table did not move.

Absolute strength brings about peaceful negotiations.

Although the Greenland Lion made a big request and looked like she didn't want to cooperate at all, but she controlled the speed just right. Greenland promised to give all the wealth on the route to the Fountain of Youth to the pirates, and she only wanted the Fountain of Youth.

After promising benefits, it is natural to show that "this is an opportunity for you, if you miss it, there will be no chance again."

How to show it, of course, is the pirates' advantage - pirate ships and the method of entering the sea. Needless to say, the method of entering the sea is now turned upside down, and the ocean world is no longer a world that belongs exclusively to pirates.

As for the ship... they have a top-specification ship - the ghost ship Najilfa, which is a ship carrying the souls of giants and sailing in the sea of ​​fire at the end of the gods.

The pirates immediately became obedient. They took out the treasure maps from their pockets and placed them on the negotiation table.

Greenland didn't go to get it directly, but nodded to Audrey. Now it was Audrey's turn. She said that she must play the [Honest Blood Cup], but Audrey didn't have to.

"The Silver Man who once searched for the Fountain of Youth was a member of the Silver Clan, and can be said to be the ancestor of the Arcadian people. He wanted the Fountain of Youth in order to lift the curse of the Arcadian people, and the clue he left for the Arcadian people was the statue of the New Moon."

Audrey relayed Bernard's words in a cold voice, but the pirates shook their heads in disappointment. There was no statue of the new moon in Crete.

First of all, such a beautiful statue would definitely have been sold or demolished by the Cretans, and it would absolutely not have survived until now.

Audrey sighed in disappointment. Of course, this was just an act, because there were two locations for the New Moon statues, and the most likely thing her ancestor would do was to leave clues in both places.

Since Greenland hinted that the pirates could not be fully trusted, there was no need for her to take them to another location.

"Really? What a pity." Captain Barber sighed regretfully and gave a sly smile the moment Audrey was about to get up.

"This lady must not know that when sailing on the sea, you need the guidance of a compass."

Compared to the pirates who make a living by lying, Audrey is still a little naive.

Chapter 1111 Compass on the Sea

Greenland froze because she had no idea what Captain Barber was talking about.

But she did know about World F's Sea World.

The fact that Godlock does not have an ocean that is big enough or vast enough has always been a minor criticism.

In fact, players know that this is unreasonable. It is just like taking a boat or a plane. It is fresh at the beginning, but within half an hour, the scenery will not change at all, which will make people irritable and want to reach the destination directly.

In terms of results, the vast ocean is not that interesting, not to mention that for those who sail on the sea, the destination is most likely the New World or archipelagos.

However, after what was jokingly called a re-opening of the server, the ocean world appeared, and a large number of players set out to discover new continents, unknown islands, and the underwater world.

But the players encountered catastrophic difficulties and were wiped out shortly after setting out to sea.

Problems such as being lost, harsh sailing environment, extremely long sailing time without any reference, and a huge number of underwater monsters with an average level of over LV150 easily defeated the players.

At this time, an excellent game will provide a way to overcome it, that is, the sailing family. These long-standing sailing families not only know the ocean well, but most importantly, they have mastered a natural ocean phenomenon called vortex.

Simply put, a vortex is a portal in the sea. As long as you follow the ocean current into a vortex, you can come out of another vortex.

Of course, as natural phenomena, these vortices will not stay in one place like a teleportation tower, which is even more inconvenient. The time when they appear, their size, the direction in which they appear, and even the flow rate of the vortex will affect the results of passing through the vortex.

In order to understand the laws of these whirlpools, one must have a very complete and detailed nautical chart, a navigation log, and most importantly, a nautical compass for calculations.

Greenland was secretly upset that he only boasted about the ship and forgot the important thing about the navigation compass.

So sometimes she would have a headache because of these too realistic AIs. No matter how many games she played or how many tricks she knew, she could never outsmart the famous Captain Barber, who had been a pirate sailor since he was 12 years old, stealing and struggling all the way until he was 70 years old.

If it really comes to a competition of scheming, she can't beat any of the pirates in front of her.

The cooperation continued, and they once again sat back at the negotiation table, and were the party at the mercy of others.

Greenland gave Audrey an apologetic look because she had just boasted about the ghost ship and the pirates would definitely use it to harass her.

boom--

Blaze reached out and knocked on the table, then separated Greenland and Audrey. The candlelight began to shake violently, and the light in the already dim pirate tavern seemed to be swallowed up by darkness at any time.

"Little boy, what do you want to do?!"

The pirates stood up instantly and pulled out all kinds of weapons.
