Chapter 1239 Return to the Magic Island of Juju (24)
Blackbeard’s method of hiding treasures is naturally unique.??
He would never hide treasure in a fixed location on his own plane.
Because he knows very well... time is a pair of omnipotent pushing hands. It can turn love into hatred, comedy into tragedy, dreamers into snobs, and of course... it can also turn the land into the ocean.
, turn a mountain into a lake, or turn an island... into five smaller islands.
Once the location of the treasure cache changes geographically, the treasure may be exposed on its own, or may be dispersed and moved in some unpredictable way.
Blackbeard definitely doesn't want his treasure to suffer this kind of fate, so his method of hiding the treasure is to "hide it in phase space and leave one person to guard it."
There are many benefits to this approach:
First, no matter how the external environment changes, the interior of the phase space will not be affected.
Secondly, even if an outsider finds the entrance to the space, it is useless if he does not know how to open and enter.
Third, even if outsiders manage to enter the space where the treasure is hidden, there are still powerful guards guarding it.
As for the possibility of "the guards taking advantage of the wealth and stealing the treasure", Blackbeard also considered it, so he only arranged one guard for each treasure... Anyway, if this one person really rebelled, Blackbeard would also
Just need to find this person.
In addition, Blackbeard also set a special rule, that is, anyone who has the ability to find and enter his treasure space can take away three treasures after being "tested" by the guards.
Please note that it means "accepted", not "passed"... In other words, as long as you "accept", you will definitely get the treasure.
Seeing this, some people may find it strange that when Brother Jue and Xiaotan entered the treasure space on the Rabbit Star, Brother Rabbit didn't seem to have told them this, right?
Now, we can reveal the truth... In fact, Brother Jue was just "acting" at that time, and his acting skills were very good. Even Feng Bujue was deceived by him... Even now, Brother Jue doesn't know that at that time
the real situation.
In fact, all of this... is a "heart attack strategy" set by Blackbeard.
Blackbeard understands that those who can find and enter his treasure space must have gone through a lot of hardships and possess a certain level of strength; facing such a group of people, if you ask the guards to tell them, "Go back, everyone, there are
I'm guarding you." This may very well lead to this group of people fighting to the death, or trying to escape if their desperate efforts fail, and go back to gather strength to make a comeback.
However, if you ask the guards to tell them, "Although I can't let you take away all the treasures, I can give you a chance to challenge me. Let's compete under relatively safe rules. As long as you win, I will
Let you take away three treasures"...then the other party will most likely agree.
After all, Blackbeard's guards are generally quasi-first-rate powerhouses in the multiverse, and no treasure hunter with a little bit of vision and IQ would fight rashly.
Furthermore, Blackbeard's own name is also a deterrent enough. Even if the treasure hunters really have the ability and intention to kill the guards and take away all the treasures after paying a heavy price, they still have to think about it... in the future
When Blackbeard comes to settle accounts, can you handle it...
After a few calculations, being able to peacefully take away three things from the treasure without harming one's life and escape unharmed is already a pretty good result... at least it's better than "returning empty-handed".
Therefore, after settling this not-so-complicated account, most people would choose to "challenge the guards"; and Blackbeard also ordered the guards to try to use "a combat power slightly higher than the opponent's upper limit of strength.
"It's a shame to be defeated", which makes the treasure hunters consciously "win the luck" and create the illusion that "they have made a profit if they can get three treasures", so that they will willingly keep the "can be opened" in their hands.
Phase Space Objects" and leave peacefully, never to return.
It can be said that... the "guarding strategy" laid out by Blackbeard is interlocking and step-by-step, fully estimating the psychology of treasure hunters, and even Feng Bujue has been calculated.
Under this strategy, the burden on the guards has been greatly reduced, and the security of the treasure has been further improved.
As for... the so-called "take three items at will" by the guards is undoubtedly a lie. If it is really "take at will", then the entire ship Queen Anna's Revenge can also be counted as "one item"
Was taken away.
The guards will not specifically point out to treasure hunters that "a boat is also an item", let alone tell them... "There is also a secret 'inside space' in this space, those 'good things that cannot be handed over'
It’s all hidden in there.”
…………
"Found it... right here..." Blackbeard stopped, looked at the crystal ground under his feet, and said.
At this moment, twenty minutes had passed since his fight with Honghu.
During this period, Blackbeard and his cadres had crossed the not-so-wide stretch of water between the North Island and the Central Island, and traveled a long distance in the "Crystal Mystery".
"If you know the location... why don't you just come here from the air? Or sail around the North Island and land directly on this island?" After Blackbeard said that, Crazy Eyes said impatiently
The tone asked this question.
"Nonsense, do you still need to teach me?" Blackbeard replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "The problem is... before I set foot on this island, I didn't know where the entrance to the treasure was." He paused.
, explained, "There was no such an area covered with crystals on Zui Mo Island back then; the Zui Mo Island back then... was not divided into five pieces like it is in front of me, and the landforms on each piece were the same as in my memory.
Completely different. I can only walk around the island until I sense the seal I left at the 'entrance', and then I can determine its location."
When he said this, Crazy Eyes also understood, and then said: "Oh~ no wonder you suddenly accelerated your speed after setting foot on this 'middle island'. It turned out to be because you were close to the 'sensing distance', right?
?”
"It's not just a matter of 'distance', it's also related to the length of time I stay on the ground..." Blackbeard said, "Well... forget it, you can't explain it to a rough guy like you..." He seemed too lazy to
When he continued talking, he waved his hand casually, motioning for Mark Tho to come over.
"Captain, what are your orders?" Houda was also very obedient and walked quickly to Blackbeard with his horse's hooves.
"Crush the crystal under your feet and then dig it open." Blackbeard said as he turned around and took a few steps away.
"Uh...how deep do you need to dig?" Tuda lowered his head and asked again.
"As deep as I tell you to stop." Blackbeard continued.
"yes!"
After making a promise, the half-orc pirate began to take action...
His four hooves are not just decorations. Their pedaling power is so strong that they can split gold and crack rocks. The broken crystals dug out by his hooves splashed in all directions, causing several people except Blackbeard to move back.
Seven or eight meters.
About thirty seconds later, the hooves kicked and stomped on the ground, creating a large pit more than one meter deep.
"That's enough." Blackbeard also stopped at this time.
Hearing this, Tuda immediately stopped moving and stood in the pit looking at his captain.
Blackbeard didn't say much, and took advantage of the situation. He took a step forward, jumped into the pit, and took out a small piece of white substance from his arms; if you look closely, you can tell...it is a small piece of human finger bone.
"Agu1o...hah..." Blackbeard pinched his knuckles in his fists, raised his arms, and softly recited a very obscure-sounding incantation.
Immediately afterwards, a "buzzing" sound of runes was heard coming from the underground. At the same second, a piece of golden light erupted from the bottom of the crystal, just encircling the hole that Houda had just dug.
Inside.
"Come in, everyone." As soon as Blackbeard turned his head and said these four words to Nesru and the others who were a few meters away, he and the figure with the big hoof suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, Nesru, Vog, and Mark Necko exchanged glances, and then walked into the golden light together with Crazy Eyes in their sights.
…………
The cave where the treasures are stored does not need any lighting equipment, because there are many magical instruments that can emit light for almost unlimited time.
Six people, Blackbeard, Crazy Eyes, Nesru, Mark Hoof, Mark Neck, and Mr. Vog, passed through the entrance to the phase space and entered this place.
When he came to this place, Blackbeard finally found the long-lost "sense of déjà vu."
The outside world has long since changed. Only this place is the same as it was more than three hundred years ago... before he left this universe.
Well... saying "no different" is probably not quite right.
Although there are not many changes, there are still some. For example... the guard he left here, the "son" he called, has disappeared.
Instead, there was a stranger wearing a monk's robe, his figure completely hidden in the strange shadows under the clothes.
"Long time no see, Blackbeard." At this moment, Twenty-Three spoke to the other party in his own native accent, and while speaking, he took off the hood on his head.
"Master!" Before Blackbeard responded, Crazy Eyes couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed, "You... you are actually a woman?"
"Hmph..." Seeing Crazy Eyes' reaction, Blackbeard just sneered, "You didn't even know whether the other person was a boy or a girl, so why did you sacrifice your life for her?"
"After seeing the fate of the red ring, he had no choice." Twenty-three answered the question on behalf of Crazy Eyes, and then said to Blackbeard, "I believe... if you are smart enough, you will soon be with him.
He made the same choice."
"Oh?" Blackbeard said, "Do you think... I will be like Crazy Eyes..." He thought for half a second and continued, "And Wisden, Tureus, Idient and those guys.
...I will bow down before you?"
"Heh..." Twenty-three smiled. Her smile, as well as her tone and demeanor when she said the next sentence... were all like another person, "... who knows?" 8
