He Ao happened to be short of a translator, so he asked the speech master to translate for him what these pirates were mumbling.
After hearing this, the commentator looked at He Ao with a strange expression, "These pirates said that you are the 'incarnation of Nora'."
"What is Nora?"
He Ao was a little curious.
"Nora is the legendary god of sea, storm and thunder in Alanor, and the main god in the original myth of Alanor.
Legend has it that Nora would incarnate as a human and come to Alano every once in a while, making the ocean calm and allowing fishermen to return with full loads. The name Alano comes from this legend, which means 'the place where Nora protects'.
The king of old Alanor claimed to be the incarnation of Nora."
The commentator thought for a while, chatted a few words with the pirates on the side, and then suddenly realized and said to He Ao, "Balan has always claimed to be the incarnation of Nora, and his power also convinced the pirates, now you kill Balan
, all the pirates think you are more like the incarnation of Nora, and you are real, Balan is fake."
Marine civilizations that live on islands or peninsulas and rely on the sea for their livelihoods are generally most afraid of storms and thunder, so in the primitive myths of such civilizations, the God of the Sea or the God of Thunder is often one of the most important gods.
The legend of the Poseidon in Alano is also combined with feudal rule. The king is the incarnation of the Poseidon. The fusion of divine power and monarchy is also a skill that ancient feudal rulers basically learned without a teacher.
After figuring this out, Heao sighed, and then he asked the commentator to ask the pirates if Balaam had put anything valuable on the ship.
Balan traveled lightly this time. The valuable gold and silver jewelry were all placed in the lair. There was nothing on the coal ship. As for extraordinary items, He Ao and Yan Shi searched around and found even an ordinary extraordinary item.
None were found.
After all, Balan's foundation is still shallow, and he has basically no chance to enter the ruins to explore. He is really poor. The only extraordinary item is the pirate treasure box held by He Ao. Maybe this is the reason why he risked his life to rob the institute.
One of them,
While He Ao was chatting with the commentator and the pirates, 'Hu Wen' had already put on a diving suit, jumped into the sea, and hunted larger fish to replenish his life while escaping into the distance.
At this time, the institute's support ship finally came over.
······
The night is both short and long.
The institute's support ship quickly treated the injured on the cruise ship and began to deal with the aftermath.
Not long after, an emergency cruise ship sailed to the location of the pirate mother ship to rescue the hostages there.
Fortunately, in order to blackmail Yang De, none of the hostages were injured. However, a bomb was indeed installed on the mother ship. Although he had received information about the safety of the bomb detonator from He Ao, Yang De still tried his best to arrange the people.
Pirate speedboat on cargo ship.
All the aftermath matters were busy until dawn the next day.
When the early morning sunlight was scattered on the smooth deck, He Ao sent the little girl Nini to the makeshift cruise ship and returned it to her parents.
"Goodbye brothers and sisters, goodbye big brother!"
Nini leaned against her mother and waved goodbye to He Ao and others.
Watching the cruise ship gradually go away, leaving behind a layer of white waves, the commentator sighed softly, "It's great."
"Um."
He Ao nodded slightly.
"By the way, Damu Mu, tell me, why don't they come together with three C-level transcendents?"
The commentator blinked and looked at He Ao doubtfully.
He Ao glanced at her and looked at the vast sea, "Prejudice"
Hu Wen and the psychiatrist who belong to a large organization despise Balan, a poor-legged pirate who came from the bottom of his heart. Even if they need Balan's cooperation, they only let Balan provide personnel and do some odd jobs.
Rather than sharing the robbed extraordinary items equally with a pirate, Liming wanted to take all the extraordinary items into his hands and give out one or two at most to send the pirates away. They were also confident that they could deal with Yang De by relying on Hu Wen and the psychiatrist.
For this kind of behavior, Balaam probably still harbored resentment in his heart.
However, this time, in addition to Liming and Balan, there was also a third party involved in the incident. Although Hu Wen did not have any information about this third party in his mind, He Ao had roughly guessed the identity of this third party.
The Empire of Tia.
The waters of the Nole Republic where they are now are, in a sense, also the sphere of influence of the Theia Empire. The flag of the Theia Empire is also hanging on Balan's coal ship.
Judging from some of the information in Hu Wen's memory, the power of the Tia Empire's extraordinary organization is second only to the Academy, and it has always been at odds with the Academy. The friction between the two organizations has been going on for more than a day or two.
With such a behemoth behind him, Balan dared to launch an attack on the institute without any worries.
While He Ao was looking at the sea, a figure stood behind him and whispered, "Let's talk?"
He Ao turned around and saw Yang De's slightly smiling face.
He nodded and walked to the other side of the ship with Yang De.
The heavy dark clouds have long since dispersed, and the bright sunshine is shining down.
"The 25,500 points have been credited to your account."
Yang De looked at the calm sea and said softly.
"Um."
He Ao nodded slightly and said nothing.
Yang De looked at He Ao's calm look and knew that he was waiting for him to make an offer.
"As for the reward for protecting the cruise ship last night, what do you want? Extraordinary items, money, or power?"
He Ao still didn't speak.
"If you are in the overseas department, relying on your achievements and achievements this time, you will be enough to become the deputy minister of the overseas department. You can mobilize most of the strength of the overseas institutions of the institute, and the salary will be generous. You can call on the resources in the warehouse of the institute according to the needs of the task.
Extraordinary items.
But although you have not joined the overseas department, we can skip this link directly and you can come directly to be my deputy. Are you interested?"
Yang De turned around, lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, looking at He Ao.
This is a right.
It's the right that Ho Ao wants.
With this position, he can legitimately use certain reasons to mobilize the intelligence department of the institute.
"Do you want to go to work and perform fixed tasks?"
He Ao asked softly.
"of course yes."
Yang De smiled.
"That's not interesting."
Ho shrugged.
Although this position is good, he has to enter the dungeon world every once in a while. He doesn't know how long he will stay. If he is assigned a key task in reality and happens to enter the dungeon world at that time, it will be troublesome. He still prefers it.
Be free and proactive.
"How about this," Yang De seemed to have guessed He Ao's answer. He smiled, "I invite you to be the honorary deputy minister of the overseas department. All the benefits will be the same as before, but you don't have to go to work normally. If there is a task, I will directly
Contact you and you can choose to accept it or not."
Under this condition, theoretically, He Ao could refuse all tasks, receive the institute's salary for free, and enjoy the institute's resources.
A little too good is a little too good.
"Is this an original position at the institute?"
He Ao looked at Yang De doubtfully.
"No," Yang De shook his head, "This is specially invented for you. How about it? Are you interested?"
"May I know why?"
He Ao asked calmly.
"I'm old," Yang De held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the endless sea. The sea breeze picked up the smoke and scattered his messy hair, "so I always want to form a good relationship."
He Ao was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay."
The sea breeze blew up their clothes, making a gentle sound.
"Speaking of which," Yang De suddenly thought of something, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to He Ao, "Someone sent it to the institute this morning. It seems to be from the leader of the most powerful coastline defense force in Alano.
.”
He Ao accepted the letter with some confusion. He had never had any contact with this leader.
This letter was sealed in a crisp envelope. He Ao tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and unfolded it. Inside was a very short letter, written in neat Chinese characters, with strong handwriting and sharp writing.
[To Brother ‘Mercenary’:
I heard that the wind picked up last night, and my brother entered the enemy ship alone, wielding his sword to defeat the prisoners, and the wind filled the mountains and rivers.
The so-called heroic story is nothing more than this.
I was attracted to him and wanted to marry my brother, but I didn't know where to start, so I wrote a letter and gave it to my brother.
If brother is interested, he can come and look for me when he comes again.
Yu’s house always has fine wine and tea to treat gentlemen.]
To put it simply, this person wants to make friends with He Ao so that He Ao can go to him next time he goes to Arano.
but,
"Why does this man speak so half-heartedly?"
He Ao looked at Yang De.
"I don't know," Yang De also shook his head, "I heard that this leader is half of Middle-earth blood. He may prefer Middle-earth culture, but he is a very capable person, and he is now on good terms with the institute. You
If you come to Alano next time, you can pay a visit and maybe you can get some help."
"Um."
He Ao nodded slightly.
······
After chatting with Yang De about the welfare benefits of the deputy minister, He Ao turned around and returned to his cabin.
The appointment letter and contract of the deputy minister cannot be brought over until tomorrow.
He Ao closed the cabin door, put down his suitcase, took out the three batteries from the mecha, then found some wires, inserted one end into the battery jack and fixed it, the other end on the plug, and then connected the batteries.
power supply.
This kind of high-performance battery can adapt to the voltage, and charging is not that complicated. There is no special plug. It can be charged by connecting it to a line or ordinary power supply. However, the voltage is low, the current is low, and the power is low, so the charging process is a little slower.
After charging the battery, He Ao took out the pirate treasure chest.
This box is indeed C-level. To say it is useful, it is very useful for He Ao, but of no use to Balan.
The reason is very simple, this box is a auxiliary extraordinary item.
This box can put a single item of up to one cubic meter in volume, with a maximum of five items and a maximum C level. However, every time you open the box, you must first put an extraordinary item in before you can take out the items inside. If there is no extraordinary item
If you can put it, the soul will be absorbed by the box as the price of opening the box.
But what is interesting is that the box must be bound to the owner. The owner can sacrifice the soul of others as the price for opening the box. After opening the box, the owner can take out an item.
But if you want to continue to take things out, you have to continue to put things in, put something in, and take out something. However, the times you take out are not cumulative. Once the box is closed and you open it again, you need to
Put new things in.
In addition to the owner, other people can also open the box. When they open the box, they also need to put extraordinary items in it, but if they cannot take it out, it is equivalent to being directly robbed by this box. Those who have extraordinary items will grab extraordinary items. If there are no extraordinary items,
If you do, your soul will be stolen.
However, this box can actually be solved through the card bug. If the owner has two extraordinary items, he can put one in and take out the other, constantly alternating.
But it's a pity that Balan doesn't have any extraordinary items, so he can only put this box outside as a trap to absorb souls. However, after the pirate treasure box identifies its owner, it will have some kind of connection with the owner, which can make the owner vaguely
You can sense your location without fear of losing it.
Of course, Balan did not find the cruise ship by relying on the pirate treasure chest on Heao.
Obviously, from beginning to end, Balan was trying to find a way to track the cruise ship's location through the automatic ship identification system broadcast on the cruise ship. After all, when He Ao didn't get the treasure box at the beginning, Balan was following the cruise ship.
The topic returns to the pirate treasure chest. The chest will always try to attract others to open the chest, even its own owner.
However, after some thinking, He Ao discovered another possible loophole in this box.
He opened the box, and as a condition for opening it, put in the useless arbitration scale as a price.
Then he closed the box.
After closing the box, if you want to open it again, you need to put new items in it.
But He Ao did not open the box this time, but put his hand on the box and activated his own miraculous magic.
Retrieve items from the air!
The arbitration scale instantly appeared in his hands.
Sure enough, it is possible to take things out of the box directly through air retrieval, although it consumes a lot of money.
Although the pirate treasure chest has a completely unreasonable huge space, it is still considered a box by telekinesis. As long as it is a box, you can try to use telekinesis to take out things.
However, there are prerequisites for retrieving objects from the air. He Ao must know what the items in the box are and what they look like before he can take them out.
The moment He Ao took out the arbitration scale, He Ao felt the pirate treasure chest jump, and he seemed very angry.
Then Ho took out the Miracle Wand and placed it next to it.
So the pirate treasure chest got angry for a while, but then he couldn't get angry anymore.
He Ao then placed the Arbitration Scale in front of the pirate treasure chest. Without opening the box, he used the ability to retrieve objects from the air to directly put the Arbitration Scale back into the box.
Before the pirate treasure chest could react to the extraordinary items in its belly, He Ao took out the arbitration scale again.
Then it goes back and forth like this.
At first, the pirate treasure chest tried to struggle, carefully expressing his anger next to the miracle wand, but then he became completely motionless.
After trying several times and confirming that there was no problem, He Ao put the arbitration scale back into the box again.
Then he picked up the puppet crystal ball, lifted it slowly, and put the crystal ball into the box. At this moment, his connection with 'Hu Wen' who had become a puppet was not broken.
This means that the box will not block this soul connection.
He Ao thought for a while and put the bone sword into the box.
Now, there are already three items in the box, because they were put in directly through air pick-up, thus bypassing the restriction that extraordinary items must be put in.
He Ao glanced at the silver suitcase with the battery removed and put the suitcase into the box.
Now, he only needs to use 'disappear' to cover up the existence of the pirate treasure chest, and he can carry these items with him without being discovered.
Although the pirate treasure chest seems to be a very rare extraordinary item with storage capabilities, due to its special storage rules, only one item can be taken out at a time and must be put in first for each use. In fact, it is not that easy to use.
However, in the hands of He Ao, who has the miracle wand and the ability to "retrieve objects from the air", he can circumvent its complicated rules and maximize its ability.
He Ao took off the colorful ring and stopped the accumulation of charm ability, then put away the pirate treasure chest and quietly looked at the sea outside the window.
Sunset and moonrise.
When the bright stars hung in the sky like pearls, the countdown in He Ao's vision returned to zero again.
