Black Dragon noticed his gaffe, cleared his throat, and continued to pretend:
"I didn't expect to meet people of the same race in a place like this. It's surprising. Although you are a dragon, the dangers here are far greater than you imagine, so you'd better leave quickly."
NPCs judge a player's strength through level recognition in most cases. In a few cases, they can recognize the player's equipment.
The map level of Pirate Ship Island is obviously higher than that of Su Ming, so Black Dragon persuaded him like this.
However, Su Ming didn't listen to Heilong's words. He raised his flute and tapped Heilong's leg lightly.
-
589.
The black dragon has almost no armor and takes minimal physical damage from Su Ming.
After being attacked, the black dragon's huge body exploded into a cloud of mist with a "bang" sound. The clouds dissipated, revealing a short green fish-man, about one meter tall, wearing a brown hat, and an unknown helmet on his right eye.
The monocle was something like a magnifying glass. He only wore a pair of blue beach shorts, a patched cloth bag held diagonally across his body, and his orange palm held a machete tightly.
"Oh my God." The funny-looking fishman pointed a knife at Su Ming and backed away while talking, "That's so rude. We have nothing to do with each other. Why did you suddenly take action? What if I am a real black dragon?
What should I do?
It's so rude."
It repeated, then suddenly turned around and ran away. Before Su Ming had time to chase it, it encountered a "ghost pirate", and then it ran back again, hid behind Su Ming, and said:
"It's all the trouble you caused. Please help me defeat this ghost pirate."
The tone of this fish-man's words is both timid and courageous...
"After I help you fight off this monster, you must promise not to run away again. I have something to ask you," Su Ming said.
"Okay, okay. The great Sir Finley hereby promises you that as long as you protect my safety, I will know everything about you."
The fishman revealed its name, Finley, and its title of knight, which seemed to have a high status.
Out of curiosity, Su Ming fought with the ghost pirates. In less than two minutes, he killed the pirates. A piece of silver equipment and a material called "Dark Essence" exploded on the ground.
Again, I don't know the use yet.
When the danger was over, Finley ran over and stepped on the corpse of the two ghost pirates, as if it had solved the battle. Then it maintained a confident smile and said to Su Ming:
"You are really a powerful human adventurer, on par with me. No wonder you can tame a young dragon."
Su Ming touched Dandan's head and said modestly:
"It's not because they are strong that they are tamed. There is a lot of luck involved."
"Luck is more important than strength." Finley said, "Similarly, my luck is not bad, but this time I have some bad luck..."
As he spoke, Finley showed a frustrated expression, and Su Ming asked curiously:
"You are a fish-man, why are you in the sea? Aren't all the people in the sea mermaids?"
"It's not polite, how can you say that? For a fishman who is good at water, it's just the sea, huh..." Finley said, remembering his unlucky experience in the ocean, and suddenly muttered to himself.
, "Well, the sea is indeed not a good place. Although fish people can live here, their luck seems to be getting worse..."
"You haven't answered my question yet, why are you here?"
"Of course it's to prove that I am the bravest fish-man. Don't you know my story?"
Su Ming shook his head.
Finley looked surprised, making Su Ming feel as if he had done something to feel sorry for it...
Next, Finley told Su Ming its story.
Finley is a smart and adventurous fish-man. Because he often read books, he was ridiculed by the tribe for being timid. So, in order to prove that he was a brave fish-man, Finley left the tribe.
, began its adventure career.
Good luck accompanies Finley. Although it is not strong, it can always turn danger into danger. Gradually, it begins to gain some fame, and even obtains the title of "Sir" in places where humans gather.
But it didn't expect that when it returned to the tribe with its own adventure story, there were still voices of doubt, so Finley began to prepare for a second adventure.
During the preparation process, Finley discovered a treasure map and a book, which recorded the legendary artifact "The Spear of Courage and Justice". It is said that only the bravest and most righteous people can find it.
Finley felt that that person must be it.
It brought the treasure map and announced its second adventure plan in a high-profile manner among the tribe, promising to bring back the "Gear of Courage and Justice." Not only did its tribe know about this plan, but even the human newspapers knew about it.
Rushing to come for an interview.
Finally, amidst the praise and compliments, Finley, who was only level 30, sailed alone to the mysterious sea.
After entering the sea, it struggled with storms and sea monsters. Relying on the "false reality" of treasures obtained from previous adventures, it either disguised itself as a powerful creature or turned into an inconspicuous little creature, which somehow managed to survive.
…
After Su Ming heard this, he admired Finley very much. He praised:
"Then you are really powerful."
"Hmph, of course, I am a genius that is rare to see in a century among the fish-men." Finley said proudly.
"So, have you found the artifact?" Su Ming asked.
"Found it. It's on this ship, and I've got it." Finley said proudly, "Part of it."
"What's the meaning?"
"The gun of courage and justice was broken into three sections, and there is only the handle of the gun in the ghost pirate ship."
"Where's the butt of the gun?"
"At Moo's."
"Who is Moo?"
"My newly acquired mount is also my partner." Finley said, "It is a timid manatee. I got separated from it when I ran away, and it must be very scared now."
I could have escaped long ago, but because I haven't found Moo Moo yet, I turned into a dragon and rested here."
Finley suddenly looked at Su Ming and said excitedly:
"You are so powerful, help me find Moo Moo!"
"I really want to help you." Su Ming refused the new mission issued by the system and explained to Finley, "But now I have to find my crew. They are even weaker than you."
Finley touched his chin and said doubtfully:
"Why are you looking for it? Shouldn't they all be locked up in a kerosene lamp by that scary little girl from Mana?"
"Did I originally be imprisoned? Maybe it's because I jumped into the ship myself." Su Ming thought this was the reason, but it was actually because Mana's special ability to imprison souls could not take effect on players.
Finley didn't know the situation, but it wasn't important. He said:
"Then except you, everyone else must be in Manana. In this case, it is even more important for you to help me find Moo Moo, because it is impossible to see Mana without Moo Moo."
"Why?"
"You can imagine this pirate ship as a sphere. The coral jungle is the top layer; here is the reef forest, which is the second layer; and then the third layer is the soul storage layer, where Mana threw all the souls she ruined.
Without Moo Moo, basically no one would be able to pass through; the last layer is the body of the pirate ship, a ship, and that's where I escaped."
Su Ming thought for a while and said:
"Then, you take me to find Mana, and I'll take you to rescue Moo Moo?"
"That's a good idea. I think we'll do it like this." Finley ran to a coral, broke off a branch, put it on the ground and turned it around. Finally, he waved his hand in the direction of the branch and said, "Moo Moo is right over there.
