Chapter 371 The pirate ship that returned from the treasure hunt
Not long after, deafening cheers rang out.
The arena was in a mess. The lord-level [Hell Mouth] monster was blasted by heavy punches, the rotten flesh was shattered all over the ground, and green corrosive blood spattered everywhere on the yellow sand.
Kai's whole body was filled with fiery red steam, and he stood in front of the monster's corpse with an evil spirit.
One party died, and a bloody gladiatorial match came to an end.
Su Lun and Qian Jiao quietly walked to the entry channel amidst the overwhelming cheers from the audience.
Because they had made arrangements with local snakes in advance, Su Lun and the two pretended to be enthusiastic Gladiator fans and successfully met Kai. They were all members of the Mirror Organization, and Kai had absolute trust in them.
As planned, during the brief meeting, Su Lun used the spiritual crystal made by Pandora with divine power to give Kai a spiritual hint. With this method, at least he did not have to worry about being completely spiritually enslaved.
The difficulty now is that Su Lun also received some bad news. The key to unlocking the [Mechanical Slave Collar] is carried by Skadi, the Princess of the Frost Moon.
To get the key, it means that they have to find an opportunity to contact Princess Marfa.
This is a big trouble.
No one can get past the Marfa Royal Guards and get close to the princess.
A few days later.
After replenishing sufficient supplies for navigation, most of the members of the Dawn Regiment have left the city-state of Moros and are staying on board the Dawn. The ship does not dock, but is floating near the coast to wait for orders.
Because the city has not been peaceful recently.
Su Lun has collected some information in the past few days, and feels more and more like a storm is coming.
Onis Popov, the second son of Oleg, the King of the North Sea, who was rumored to be having an affair with the "Frost Moon Princess", is a mixture of Vikings and Romans.
The reason why the North Sea Kingdom was able to make Roman its subject country so quickly is directly related to this guy.
His mother is very mysterious, no one knows who she is.
However, there is definite information that Oleg came to the Roman Kingdom and conquered the Moros city-state with powerful force. He even visited the "Agaparnon Temple", which the Romans regarded as a holy place.
Not long after that, Onis Popov was born.
That is an outstanding heir who was blessed by the God of War at birth and possesses "courage". (Domineering)
Some people suspect that his mother may be a respected priest in the temple.
For this rumor, Su Lun also deliberately went to Onis Popov, whom he had met by chance. He was handsome, with the strong physique of a Roman and the bravery of a Viking.
Oleg was very strict with his heirs. The useless waste would only be thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks. This guy was also very competitive. He also won dozens of consecutive victories in the gladiatorial arena and had considerable strength.
But this guy is also lustful, arrogant, proud, and acts unscrupulously.
He goes to sea to rob, and his favorite thing to do is to rob beautiful women. Recently, he and the "Princess Frost Moon" are his biological brothers and sisters, but they are also not taboo.
However, Su Lun was not interested in this guy's personal affairs.
He cares more about other details.
Oleg looks rugged. Genetically speaking, for that guy to have such a handsome body, his mother must be very beautiful.
And the most beautiful women in Roman are all in the temple.
Therefore, the rumors are most likely true, and Onis's mother may be a temple priest.
And that's the trouble.
The priests of the Temple of Agaparnon have strong "prophetic power"!
The temple could always predict droughts, tsunamis, snow disasters, and insect pests in advance and guide the Romans in the right direction.
Su Lun also had to guard against it.
They killed several divisions of the North Sea Fleet. Although the price of prophecy was high, there was no guarantee that anyone would find any clues.
Be careful
Qianjiao and the others were all on the ship, but Su Lun stayed in the city to collect information because of his ability to save his life.
He wanted to find an opportunity to get the key from Princess Skati, and he was also waiting for news about Marfa's shipment and the submarine.
But after waiting for several days, no opportunity was found.
This day, Rainbow Tavern.
In the evening, Su Lun would sit in the tavern for a while as usual.
This is the busiest tavern in the Moros city-state, and it is also the favorite place for news merchants to gather.
The tavern was bustling with people, all kinds of drinkers, adventurers and pirates were sitting in small groups, bragging loudly. Girls in sexy clothes were walking around in the tavern, and there were people on the stage.
A blood-soaked erotic dance performance.
Su Lun was sitting in the corner, drinking slowly with a large jug of wine, listening to the news brought by those guys from all over the world.
Why has the battle situation between Lu Ying and Ma Fa changed again?
The housekeeper of a certain noble nobleman eloped with his sister-in-law.
A certain pirate group was sunk by the navy again
Where was another underwater shipwreck discovered?
etc.
Taverns are the fastest channel for news to spread.
While Su Lun was drinking, he glanced at a special communicator on his waist from time to time, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Barrett actually turned off the communicator. It seems he is ready to take action."
.”
The communicator Barrett gave me has completely lost its signal response.
It's one thing not to want to implicate anyone. On the other hand, there's a high probability that someone is going to take action, so they cut off all possible means of leaking their whereabouts.
Su Lun had just obtained some information and wanted to tell Barrett.
But thinking about it, it doesn’t matter if I notify you or not.
Knowing it was a trap, they would definitely save people no matter what.
Just look at the most recent day to do it.
The night is getting darker and the streets outside are getting deserted, but the pub is getting more and more lively.
Recently, probably because the news of "Alcatraz Island" has spread, more and more adventurers and pirate groups have been attracted from all directions. There are also many outsiders in the tavern who are inquiring about the news.
News that there are countless ancient treasures on that island has spread, and all kinds of gossip are flying around, most of which are unfounded hearsay.
Those guys who wanted to get rich overnight have already set off towards the dangerous foggy sea area.
But I haven’t heard of anyone successfully returning from treasure hunting.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at everything in the tavern.
After a while, the wine was almost gone.
Su Lun thought that he would not get any useful information tonight, so he just wanted to leave.
Suddenly, an emotional news dealer rushed into the tavern.
"Breaking news!"
"Breaking news!"
The man ran out of breath and slapped his hand at the bar, "Bring me a drink quickly, I'm going to die of thirst."
This is a local snake in the city, and Su Lun happens to know him.
The bartender served him a glass of wine and teased: "Hey, Mars, are you in such a hurry that your mother-in-law ran away with someone?"
The guy took a sip and then shouted excitedly: "Oh, no! Come and see, the people of the 'Flying Fish Pirates' have arrived at the port!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and said: "What's the 'Flying Fish Group'? Isn't it just a third-rate little pirate group that deserves to be fussed over?"
"It's Alcatraz! Alcatraz!"
Mars said excitedly several times, and then said: "They just came back from Alcatraz Island, and they brought a whole shipload of treasures on the ship! Oh, my God, the gold almost sank the warship. On the dock
The unloaded treasures piled up in mountains. Some antique dealers made a rough estimate that they would earn at least tens of billions from this trip, tens of billions! Or even more! And I heard that they were planning to sell the safe route map for this voyage!!
!”
"this"
At this statement, the mute button seemed to be pressed in the tavern, and everyone seemed to be shocked by the news.
Mars spoke very quickly and reported the report: "Oh, my God, those guys from the 'Sailor Gang' wanted to keep this news to themselves. They had been suppressing it just now and it didn't come out. I also spent a lot of effort to find out."
As if she finally heard what he said clearly, the whole tavern boiled instantly as if a powder keg had been detonated.
"What! Someone came back alive from Alcatraz Island?"
"Did you bring back any treasures?"
"I've even met the leader of the Flying Fish Group, "Smoker" Lauryn! Oh, damn, their group is so poor that they don't even have the money to buy a new anchor chain. They say they want to give it a try.
Didn’t you really think you’d find the treasure?”
""
If "King of Fighting" Barron Opatra could come back alive last time, it was due to strength and luck.
So this "flying fish group" can catch the treasure and bring it back, which is definitely exciting.
This "Flying Fish Group" is not very strong, and the leader is only at the fourth level.
They could all come back alive, and a thought came to everyone else's mind at the same time, why couldn't they?
When it comes to treasure hunting, you have to do it early.
If someone really wants to get ahead of you, those who arrive late won’t be able to drink the soup.
As soon as the news came out, the drinkers in the tavern instantly woke up.
Someone shouted "Go quickly!" and everyone rushed out.
Mars looked anxiously and took off his hat, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Hey, guys, my intelligence fee!"
The people who got the news were not stingy, and each person threw a few silver coins. In the blink of an eye, the guy's hat was filled with a heavy bag.
After the crowd dispersed, Su Lun threw a silver coin into the intelligence merchant's hat with a flick of his finger, and then walked out of the tavern without any haste.
"Someone actually came back alive from Alcatraz Island"
As he walked, he murmured something.
There was no enthusiasm like those of the previous people in his eyes, but there was also a strong sense of expectation.
After all, there is a top-level puppet energy core [Heart of Four Color Elements] on Alcatraz Island.
The situation was unknown before. Those who went to explore Alcatraz Island were either fanatical adventurers or poor pirates who were too poor to risk their lives.
Even if Su Lun is greedy, he will not joke with his own life.
But now a small group actually came out alive?
Su Lun thought about it and quickly went to the dock outside the city to find out.
This information seemed to have grown wings and spread throughout the entire Moros city-state in an instant.
It was almost midnight, but the pier outside the city was brightly lit.
The pier was crowded with people, probably hundreds of thousands of people.
When Su Lun went there, the streets out of the city were already crowded with people and it was impossible to get to the dock. He could only follow the example of the other people and climbed up the cliff. He found a high place and looked at the dock from a distance.
Fortunately, his eyesight is very good and he can see clearly.
At this moment, at Ordinary Pier No. 7, there is a shabby-looking pirate ship moored there.
But at this moment, the pirate ship is attracting everyone's attention.
It seems that not many people in the Flying Fish Group survived, but the crew members all had ecstasy on their faces. They were lifting basket after basket of treasures from the ship.
Gold and silver utensils, gems, agates, crystals, antiques, and under the magic core lights, those treasures are so bright and charming.
Captain "Smoking" Lauryn was surrounded by a group of professional businessmen, discussing the selling price of the treasures.
At this moment, his face was radiant and rosy.
As time goes by, more and more people come out of the city to see Re Lao.
Even the cliff where Su Lun was staying was crowded with people.
Looking at so many treasures, Su Lun could still remain calm, but the eyes of those who were eating melons were glowing green, and their voices were sour, as if they had taken a sip of lemon juice.
"My dear, the 'Flying Fish Group' has made a fortune this time. These gains are enough to save every member of their group from having to worry about it for a few lifetimes. I'm so damn envious!"
"Hey, why didn't I think of going with them? Not long ago, their group was recruiting sailors in the tavern. I saw that their ship was too old and I didn't go. Who would have thought of missing it?"
"Stop complaining, let's see if we can get a chart later. I heard that the Flying Fish Group seems to have found a safe route, at least our ordinary group can pass it. Hey, let's not talk about getting so many treasures.
As long as you get one-tenth of the money every time, it will be enough for your whole life.”
"That's right! I heard that the Flying Fish Group hadn't landed on Alcatraz Island yet, but found so many treasures on a nearby island. The boat couldn't hold it anymore, so they came back. I heard that such a treasure island, then
There are many more in this sea area”
"If I can really buy a chart, I'll set off tonight!"
""
Suddenly someone becomes rich suddenly, and the power of this example makes people feel excited.
Even Su Lun is considering whether to go to the "Alcatraz Island" if he can really get a nautical chart.
The strength of their Dawn Group is much stronger than that of ordinary pirate groups, and the probability of seizing the treasure is very high.
But his intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong with this matter.
Su Lun held a monocular and carefully looked at the treasures transported from the ship, as well as the crew and damage to the ship.
There are traces of corrosion from sea water on the metal objects, and there are also traces of animal blood from battles on the ships.
No matter how you look at it, this is a pirate group that has just returned from an adventure in dangerous seas.
Moreover, because of the Eye of Omniscient, the treasures Su Lun could see were indeed ancient relics.
Not only gold jewelry, but also some cursed objects, extraordinary artifacts, and magical artifacts with special effects.
[Pharaoh's Golden Scarab], [Gilderoy's Spear of Courage], [Black Mage's Golden Tea Cup], [Tidal Wave Pearl]
There are all kinds of things, although most of them are broken.
But Su Lun also discovered a problem.
That means these things are not from the same civilization era at all!
"Why do these ancient relics from different eras appear in the same place?"
Su Lun was a little confused.
The mythological period, the post-mythological period, the prehistoric era, the ice age, the dawn era, and even the vast majority of the identified antiquities were the products of civilizations that Su Lun had never heard of.
Normally, the antiquities and treasures of a ruins should be from the same era.
But the things produced on this "Alcatraz Island" are a bit of a hodgepodge.
It seems like someone collected them together deliberately.
"Could it be that Alcatraz Island was originally a collector's treasure trove?"
Su Lun could only think of this possibility
There were so many treasures on the Feiyu Tuan ship that Su Lun looked at them for nearly an hour without even being able to finish unloading them.
There are more and more people at the dock. Probably, half of the city has been attracted.
We were enjoying the excitement, but at this moment, suddenly, there was a violent explosion in the city!
"boom!"
There was a loud sound that exploded through the eardrums.
An explosive air wave dozens of meters high exploded in a corner in the north of the city.
The flames lit up the entire sky in an instant.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
"Look, what's going on? There's an explosion in the city!"
"This kind of explosion intensity cannot be achieved by ordinary explosives."
"Blue light fireworks are explosives with special ingredients. I have seen Marfa's military high-explosive bombs with this kind of fire."
"Beicheng seems to be the direction of the "Frost Moon Princess" guild hall!"
"Did someone assassinate that princess?"
""
After the first explosion, there were explosions one after another.
The entire North City was engulfed in flames.
Everyone on the dock was shocked,
Others didn't understand what happened, but when Su Lun looked at it, his first reaction was that Barrett and the others had taken action.
Because those Marfa military high-explosive bombs with blue light were personally given to Barrett by Su Lun!
Barrett and the others are going to assassinate Princess Stika?
No,
of course not!
"Sound in the east and attack in the west"
Su Lun narrowed his eyes and immediately guessed something.
Now there is an undercurrent surging in the city, and the focus of all forces is almost entirely on "Princess Frost Moon". This explosion will definitely cause a series of chain reactions.
Sure enough, shortly after the explosion, the sound of fighting came from over there.
After the temptation, it became more and more intense.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
""
Not long after the commotion broke out in Beicheng, explosions and fierce battles suddenly broke out in an area of Xicheng.
The fighting noises became more and more exaggerated, and it looked like someone was fighting on a large scale in the city.
Su Lun looked at the flames of war igniting in the west and was not surprised at all.
Because that location happens to be the headquarters of the Sun Slave Trading Company, where the members of the "Holy Judgment Legion" are imprisoned!
Now that most of the people in the city have come to watch the fun, it is indeed the best time to take action.
"Barrett and the others really chose to attack with force."
Su Lun looked at it and rolled his eyes.
Without any hesitation, he blended in with the melon-eating crowd and quickly moved towards the direction where the movement in the city was coming from.
