Chapter 181 Career Compatibility 75, [Norwich Treasure]
Chapter 181 Professional compatibility 75%, [Norwich Treasure]
Although everyone on the [White Dove] was unwilling to do so, Julian had said so, so they had no choice but to give up and silently exit the [Magnetic Sea Area].
Of course, the [White Dove] may not have given up on chasing the [Thunder].
But in the presence of [Black Swan], it will not take action again.
Not far away, looking at the retreating [White Dove], the captain of the [Heron], Lan, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced at the [Thunder Horn] and thought to herself.
"Next time we meet, I will defeat you openly!"
…
…
【Black Swan】
Shane neither knew nor cared about the thoughts of other people on this sea.
At this time, he was standing on the bow deck of the ship, his eyes closed tightly, and his chest rose and fell slowly.
If it weren't for the dark clouds above his head, the thunder roaring on the surrounding sea, and the waves rising and falling, most people would think that he was taking a nap in the warm afternoon sunshine!
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt as thick as a bucket crashed down from the pitch-black clouds, landing directly on the Black Swan, which was half metal and half wood.
The sizzling electric light exploded immediately, turning into thunder snakes swimming on the deck, mast, and hull.
Seeing that the components on the ship were about to turn black under the ravages of the lightning arc, Xia En suddenly snorted coldly.
Stab la la——
The Razer, which was showing its fierce look one second and was ready to wreak havoc, seemed to be greatly frightened the next second, restrained its power and crawled down obediently.
Soon, an attraction emanated from Shane and the hull of the [Black Swan], gradually absorbing these peaceful snakes.
Seventy percent of it was absorbed into Xia En's body.
The remaining 30% was absorbed by the magic pattern on the [Black Swan].
The auras of both of them are becoming thicker and thicker, like a deep mountain, and seem to carry the majesty of thunder.
Then, Shane opened his eyes.
A blue-purple electric light flashed in his eyes, illuminating the boat.
Then, the electric light gradually twisted and changed, and finally turned into a strange character, which disappeared in Xia En's eyes.
[Comprehensive quality: 3.05→3.17! 】
[Black Swan "Mystery" +2! 】
[Current "Storm Power": No attributes (2), Extreme Cold (0), Embers (1), Magnetic Thunder (1)! 】
[Career fit: 75%! 】
"This time, did it only increase by 0.12?"
Looking at the information appearing on the panel, Xia En was thoughtful.
"It seems that the strengthening effect of the power of the storm will also decrease as the number of plunders increases."
Shane was a little regretful, but not surprised.
On the way to the [Magnetic Sea Area], he also encountered two ordinary storms. The combined increase in overall quality was only 0.05!
"However, the distance compatibility has reached 100%, and only the last special storm is left, which can be regarded as another step towards the fourth level."
Thinking of this, Xia En's expression was a little strange.
This special storm cannot be found just by looking for it.
After plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he really doesn't know where to look for the last special storm.
Another thing worth mentioning is.
After this plundering storm, mysterious characters representing [magnetic thunder] condensed in Xia En's eyes, and he had a certain degree of control over thunder and lightning.
This made Xia En realize something.
Whether it is a magic pattern or a character, it is essentially an extension of words. If you master it, you can master the corresponding secret power.
The reason why such characters did not appear when plundering [Arctic Storm] and [Ember Storm] was probably because his understanding of these two secret powers was not thorough enough.
Moreover, [Magnetic Thunder Storm] is relatively simple and crude.
Just when Xia En was about to delve deeper into one or two.
On the deck, a translucent figure gradually appeared, peeking at him quietly.
"Vivian?"
Shane looked towards the corner strangely.
"...Woo!"
"No, not me!"
Miss Ghost was startled, hurriedly waving her hands, and her figure quickly faded, as if she wanted to hide.
Since Xia En wanted to absorb the power of [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he was worried that it would affect other crew members, so he did the same thing and asked them to take shelter on the [Diamond Star].
However, Vivian's crystal coffin was placed on the Black Swan, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
In fact, during the last raid on [Ember Storm], Vivian was also hiding in the cabin, but she never showed up.
Moreover, since Xia En returned from the Elf Temple, Vivian's attitude has become a little weird.
She rarely appeared in front of Xia En, as if she had truly become a ghost, and her sense of presence was greatly reduced.
Even during several meals, she refused to show up.
——This point is enough to show that the situation is not simple.
But behind the scenes, Vivian would secretly peek at Xia En like she did today.
Such a contradictory attitude really puzzled Xia En.
In fact, Xia En also had some guesses in his heart.
Vivian's secret profession is [Nirvana Witch], and it is inextricably linked to the destruction of the elves.
Maybe she just noticed the change in Xia En's return to the past, and her attitude became a little strange.
now think of it.
It may not be a coincidence that Vivian's crystal coffin appears in the "Ember Sanctuary" together with "Laila's Magic Notes".
There happened to be no other crew members on board at the moment.
Xia En simply walked up to Miss Ghost and asked directly.
"Why have you been avoiding me all this time?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Vivian is not very courageous to begin with.
At this time, Xia En still had the power of thunder in her body that was the most capable of restraining creatures such as ghosts. She was so frightened that her eyes turned red and tears flowed down her face.
Xia En was dumbfounded.
Ghost, can you still cry?
Normal ghosts probably wouldn't cry, but Vivian could even eat without any problem, so she couldn't explain it with common sense.
But when Vivian cried, Xia En was really numb.
Whether in his previous life or this life, he didn't have much experience in dealing with this situation.
"Vivian, please stop crying, okay?"
"I'm just asking, I won't hurt you."
"Uh-huh...really?"
Vivian wiped her tears and raised her head carefully and asked.
Xia En vowed: "Of course, I am your captain!"
"But you have to tell me what's going on with you these days, right?"
After receiving Xia En's assurance, Vivian said.
"More than half a month ago, I suddenly remembered something."
"I seem...to have seen you a long, long time ago, and that big man with fire all over his body."
Hearing this, Xia En's heart skipped a beat.
I’ve seen myself and Yan Yan! ?
Could it be said that Vivian was once a resident of the [Emerald Island] and a survivor of the [Wrath of God]?
But when asked about [Emerald Island], Vivian looked confused and did not recall any new memories.
Xia En looked at Vivian's face, but her face was still covered with an invisible veil, making it impossible to see her true appearance.
Simply put, Shane could only see that she was good-looking.
But I don’t know where it is good-looking or to what extent it is good-looking.
Only that feeling of déjà vu lingers.
Suddenly, Xia En had a bold guess in his heart——
He and Vivian may have met in the future!
If there is a way to temporarily return to the past in the Elf Temple, then it is possible for Xia En to return to the past again in the future.
He and Vivian might have had a relationship at that time.
Of course, this guess is a bit outrageous, and even Xia En can't be sure.
Just when Xia En's thoughts were ups and downs.
Vivian reminded: "Captain Shane, there are two pirate ships approaching!"
Xia En came to his senses belatedly and looked towards the sea.
In the gradually subsided storm, [Siren] and [Thunder] were slowly approaching [Black Swan].
The cautious and slow posture seemed to be afraid of causing any misunderstanding.
"It's actually them!"
Xia En was a little surprised, but a smile appeared on his lips.
He had noticed the presence of other ships on the sea before, but he was too absorbed in the pleasure of plundering the storm to observe them carefully.
After all, now, the hull of the [Black Swan] has grown larger than these two ships.
Among ships of the same size, the performance of the [Black Swan] is the strongest!
The two pirate ships that were extremely fearful in the past no longer pose the slightest threat to Xia En.
…
…
It didn't take long.
Shane invited "Thunder Tooth" Loren and "Ye Ji" Alyssa to the deck of the [Black Swan].
Xia En sighed with emotion when he saw the two people who were already third-level secret pathers.
"Farewell to [Silver Moon Island], it's really been a long time since we last seen each other."
He was emotional, and Loren and Alyssa were even more emotional.
When they first met, the [Black Swan] was still a little-known ship, and Xia En himself was only a first-order secret traveler.
Alyssa also boarded the [Black Swan] and showed her strength, trying to take Joey away from the ship.
But now, looking at this brand new ship, Loren and Alyssa both looked a little dazed.
From this ship, you can still vaguely see some shadows of the past.
But whether it's the towering side of the ship, the main guns covered with magic patterns, or the flat and clean deck, they are all full of extraordinary charm.
And, the scariest thing is...
The moment the two stepped onto the deck, they felt a mysterious gaze at the same time.
It's like...the ship is staring at them!
Once the two of them showed any abnormal behavior, the ship seemed to launch a fierce offensive without Xia En taking action.
Not only the ship, but also the changes in Shane himself shocked Loren and Alyssa.
Especially Alyssa.
During that meeting, she was able to overwhelm Xia En with the aura of the second-level Mystic Pathfinder, showing off a very sophisticated space spell and gaining the upper hand.
But at this time, Xia En was like a dark abyss in her eyes, and she couldn't see through it at all.
It can only be seen that some of the power of thunder still remains on his body.
Alyssa even suspected that if there was a real fight, she would not be able to take even one of Xia En's moves.
"It seems that those rumors about the [Black Swan] are all true..."
"But aren't we all third-level secret path practitioners?"
Alyssa sighed in her heart and thought: "How can the gap between people be so big?"
"Besides, the speed of his breakthrough is too fast, isn't it?"
To be fair, Alyssa and Loren have been promoted very quickly and are now considered geniuses among pirates.
At this time, although the two of them were a little tired, the vigor of their breaths was not comparable to that of Silver Moon Island.
But in front of Xia En, there is still a gap between Yinghuo and Haoyue.
Realizing this, the eyes of this "Ye Ji" were quite complicated.
She had to admit that the former little captain had grown to the point where she needed to look up to him.
Alyssa and Loren looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.
At this time, Loren completely understood why the White Dove, which had a notorious reputation on the Seven Seas, retreated without a fight.
"It's been a long time indeed."
Loren was very thick-skinned, and his expression soon returned to normal, and he said with a smile.
"Let me tell you, Captain Xia En was blessed with great fortune, how could he die in the [Rebellious Islands]?"
Hearing this, Xia En looked thoughtful.
That day, with the help of Mr. Heller, he entered the whirlpool with the ability to teleport, avoiding the pursuit of the [Thousand Changers].
But the pirates who were watching didn't know the truth, and maybe they thought he was dead, so this news came out.
However, from a certain perspective, this can be considered a good thing.
being targeted.
The previous bounty of [Black Swan] was already 3,000 gold dragon coins. If something happens again, it will probably rise even higher.
Now that we are temporarily out of the center of the whirlpool, it will obviously reduce the prying eyes of many people.
Especially the existence of [Thousand Changers] gave Xia En a rare feeling of a lump in his throat.
After suppressing his thoughts, Xia En asked the two of them.
"Has anything else happened recently on the Seven Seas?"
This is asking for information.
If ordinary pirates come to inquire, they will definitely have to pay a certain price in exchange for information.
But Xia En had just rescued two ships from the White Dove, and his own strength was unfathomable, so the two of them couldn't have any strange thoughts.
Alyssa said frankly: "The most exciting thing on the Seven Seas recently is the leak of a file numbered S3."
"This S3 document was originally the result of the Federation's secret deciphering of ancient books. I don't know why it spread."
"It records the location of a special treasure."
Xia En was also a little curious: "What treasure?"
Alyssa looked solemn: "[Norwich Treasure]!"
“Norwich…”
Shane just read the name once and couldn't help but exclaimed: "King of Pirates, Augustin Norwich!?"
Alyssa nodded: "Exactly."
Shane was in a rather strange mood.
Not long ago, he had met the legendary pirate king in the past.
And now, news of the other party's treasure has appeared in the Seven Seas?
Alyssa didn't know about Xia En's magnificent experience, she just thought that the news shocked him, so she continued.
"Unlike the [Xinwang Treasure] which pays more attention to inheritance, [Norwich Treasure] contains his lifetime accumulation of wealth, which can be said to be as rich as any country!"
"It is said that after his death, his twelve apostles tried every means but failed to find the location of the [Norwich Treasure]."
"So after the news was released, the pirates at sea were all excited."
Alyssa glanced at the purple sea not far away and said frankly.
"Actually, I came to the [Magnetic Sea Area] this time partly because I wanted to help this idiot out of trouble, and partly because I wanted to explore this treasure."
Xia En noticed immediately: "You mean?"
"According to rumors, part of the [Norwich Treasure] is buried on an island in the center of this [Magnetic Sea]!"
"It's called...[Island of Sand]!"
