Colin had exhausted the last bit of patience in his heart.
The tone of his words was vaguely threatening,
It's probably like I'm going to be violent if you don't give me a satisfactory answer.
Raymond rolled his eyes and asked: "Before I answer this question, I want to ask... why are you looking for that person?"
"I want that person to help me predict the whereabouts of something!"
Colin squinted his eyes and looked at the liar who was wearing a black sand hood and pretending to be sophisticated, and a hint of contempt appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I couldn't find anyone, but I wanted a reward, so I went round and round to get information.
These are all professional tricks.
He did not hide his contempt for the liar in his tone, and said: "Don't ask what those things are, those are legendary items that low-level extraordinary people like you have no access to, and it is impossible to even know the names!
"
Are you really looking for something?
Although Raymond didn't have long contact with this guy two years ago, he also knew that this Colin was not the kind of evil-minded person.
What's more, if you want to gain something at this time, you definitely can't pretend to be sophisticated, you have to be approachable.
He did not continue to tantalize people and said directly: "The person you are looking for is in Tianlan Capital."
"Haha. So, where is he now?"
Colin obviously didn't believe it and sneered: "Say it beforehand. If the person you told me about is not the one I'm looking for, you can't even expect to get any reward."
Humph, it’s impossible to just tell someone to fool me!
"That's natural."
Raymond raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he stared into Colin's eyes and said, "Are you looking for the person who predicted the precise coordinates of the 'Ghost Fleet' to you?"
"What!"
When Colin heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
I clearly didn't tell him the news just now, so how could he know?
Is it possible that the guy in front of me is not a liar, but really an extraordinary person who has awakened the ability of "prophet"?
He asked urgently: "Where is he now?"
Raymond no longer pretended to be sophisticated, took off his hood directly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Colin, long time no see."
After a pause, he added: "It seems that your current situation is not good."
"Huh..."
Although Raymond's appearance now is very different from two years ago, when Colin thought about the conversation just now, he immediately recognized that the fortune teller in front of him was the prophet boy from the Vulture Pirates!
"It's actually you!"
Colin was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior, and said excitedly: "No wonder those people say 'Gerson's Divination Cabin'"
’ The fortune teller is very powerful... If it were you, then everything would be as it should be!”
With such miraculous prediction ability, is it possible that divination is not good?
Colin didn't expect that he just came to Tianlan King's capital to have a chance, and he didn't expect to find any real "prophet" in these remote sea areas. But he didn't expect that his method of finding a needle in a haystack would actually lead to a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.
You found the person you were looking for!
"I didn't expect you to come here to open a divination shop!"
Colin exclaimed, obviously in disbelief.
He has that kind of miraculous and accurate prophetic ability, how could he just hide in this alley and open some divination shop?
"It's a long story..."
Raymond didn't intend to explain in detail.
He can't say that he is just a cameo as a good guy. The real owner of this shop is still in the basement, right?
"It's so nice to meet you!"
Colin looked excited and said: "Can you help me find the whereabouts of a few things from Precognition?"
"this..."
Raymond looked embarrassed.
It's not that he doesn't want to help this person, but he has no prophetic ability at all. If he happens to know, it's fine, but if he doesn't, it will be embarrassing.
And looking at his anxious expression now, it's obvious that those things may be used to save lives.
Quack doctors harm people, and he doesn't want to give people hope indiscriminately.
Colin's island and Raymond's face turned ugly, and he understood instantly.
He said: "I know that the prophet's 'prophecy' will have a price, and the higher the level of the things predicted, the greater the price..."
After a pause, he pointed to his empty right arm and wooden right leg, and said apologetically: "I know this request is a bit rude. But you have also seen my current bad situation. If I can't find those few
With this kind of thing, my life may not be saved."
"No! It's not that I don't want to help you..."
Raymond couldn't directly admit that he was a liar, so he could only say tactfully: "I mean, even if you tell me, I don't necessarily know where the thing you are looking for is."
"I understand this!"
Colin said very understandingly: "After all, prophetic ability is not omnipotent, and it is subject to many constraints. Not every prediction can accurately meet the results... I know all this. But please give it a try.
, I can hardly hold on any longer..."
Raymond suggested: "But... I think in your case, it might be better to see a wizard or find some necromancers."
"it's useless!"
Colin shook his head. He had thought of this method before.
"This is the super-level undead energy on the ghost ship island. The laws of the undead it contains are extremely complex. Low-level extraordinary people will die if they touch it. Even if someone can use magic to dispel it, at least it will be those super-level ones above sequence 0 in the Endless Sea.
Extraordinary existence... It is impossible to find it in this black sea."
As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes, revealing a torso that looked like a rotting corpse. Wisps of black smoke visible to the naked eye were surging from time to time in the rotting holes.
"They've all rotted and grown and they haven't died yet..."
Raymond was really shocked when he looked at his body that was riddled with holes corroded by the undead air. With this degree of decay, he looked like a wight! If his consciousness hadn't been so clear, he would have been really shocked.
I thought I saw a virus-infected zombie.
No wonder his "Qi" is so strange...
Moreover, what shocked Raymond the most was... there was a round, blue-lighting object on his chest, which looked like the "Ark Reactor" on Iron Man's chest in a certain Marvel movie.
He asked directly: "Is it because of this thing that you suppressed the spirit of death?"
"This is the legendary 'Hextech Heart'."
Colin nodded and explained: "The reason I was able to hang on half-life was all because of it. Of course, my main purpose when I broke into Youlin Island was to get this thing. But.
I didn’t expect that the aura of the undead on the island was so powerful that even though I made adequate preparations, I only had half my life left when I escaped..."
"Hextech Heart?"
Raymond felt like he heard another legendary item that had not been disclosed in the game.
He only knows that Hex technology is the cutting-edge scientific knowledge left by a certain civilization that is older than the Nyx civilization. Most of the scientific theoretical foundations in this great maritime world are based on the research of that civilization.
New directions derived from this.
"This is the core component of the 'Kuruz Alchemy Body'... It is very troublesome to explain."
Colin did not intend to elaborate on the device on his chest and continued: "To put it simply, my body structure is very strange now. I need to find something that can completely eliminate the undead energy in my body so that I can survive!
"
"I see..."
Now that the words have reached this point, Raymond can no longer refuse. He can really provide some clues by deceiving him about what he is looking for.
He tried to ask: "So...what do you want?"
Colin thought for a while and said: "'Moon Stone', 'Heart of the Dragon', 'Odin's Tears', 'Rubik's Alchemy Cube'... As long as I find one of these items, my
Your life will be saved immediately!"
These four items are not simple at first glance.
Raymond's eyelids jumped when he didn't hear the name of an item. This..."Moon Stone" seems to be the treasure in the legendary Moon Spring, the holy land of the elves; "Heart of the Dragon" is related to dragons when he hears it.
I have no impression at all; and as soon as the "Tears of Odin" is named after the ancient gods, I know it is very high-quality...
At the end, yo...
Finally a familiar prop!
Could this last "Rubik's Alchemy Cube" be the deceitful "forbidden object" that sucked away thirty years of his life?
He didn't have time to speak.
At this time, Colin said with an expression of embarrassment, "I know that predicting the location of these super-level items will definitely require a heavy price..."
He hesitated for a long time, and then said: "You are my friend, and I don't want to hide it from you... I broke into the 'Ghost Ship Island' before and consumed all the valuable things on me, and then I barely escaped.
After half a life, even the huge Hex storage space was corroded and destroyed by the undead energy... The sixth-level magic core in my hand was also picked up on the Ghost Ship Island, so...
.”
so,
Are you ready to be a wolf with nothing?
Raymond was really convinced.
This guy's shot is a sixth-level magic core. From anyone's perspective, this is a super fat sheep. But who would have thought that this guy's entire wealth is only this magic core...
However, is Raymond the kind of person who only sees money and has low taste?
obviously...
Yes!
He is the kind of guy who can't afford to be early without any profit, and plucks his hair when the goose is too late!
Never do anything that is not beneficial.
What's more, no matter how you look at it now, you will lose a treasure.
Although that thing is useless to me, there is no doubt that its future value will be very high.
"I don't have any money...tsk tsk...this is going to be a bit difficult."
Originally Raymond wanted to get some benefits from Colin, but now he changed his mind.
In addition to hard currency like magic core,
What he valued more was the engineering knowledge in Colin's mind!
Knowledge is priceless, and the value of the scientific and technological knowledge in his mind is simply immeasurable.
How can it be easy to survive from the "Ghost Fleet"?
How could it be possible for someone who just casually took out the blueprint of the peak musket?
How could it be so easy to transform one's own body into that "Kuluz Alchemy Body"?
No matter what, you can just be a drawing output person, right?
...
"That...is it really embarrassing for you?"
Colin naturally knew that his request was a bit rude, so he glanced at Raymond with some embarrassment.
Without the beard covering up his young face, Colin is actually a young man about the same age as Raymond. At this moment, he has no confidence to ask for help from others.
Raymond also happened to have "Rubik's Alchemy Cube" in his hand, and he immediately paid attention to it.
He thought for a moment and pretended to sigh: "These things are very complicated just by hearing their names. It would be difficult to predict the precise target... I'm afraid."
"Hey...I know that too."
The hopeful look in Colin's eyes became weaker and weaker.
Even if he guessed that accurate prediction might not be as difficult as expected for the guy in front of him,
He didn't have much hope, and sighed: "Now that I think about it, even if you helped me predict the location of those things, the chance of my survival is very slim. If their location is in the Endless Sea or somewhere farther away,
In the sea, my lifespan is not long enough for me to survive until I find something."
Originally, he came to the capital to find Raymond, just to seize the last hope of survival.
Now that people have found and seen hope, it is also time to despair and give up hope.
"Well... let me just say it straight away!"
After all, Raymond wanted to trick people into boarding the ship, so naturally he couldn't just rely on deception.
"Actually, I am here not to open a divination shop. I am here to save the navigators on my ship..."
After a pause, he continued: "My ability to 'predict' is getting weaker and weaker now, and I use it less and less every time... Therefore, except for my own crew, I will no longer predict for others."
Colin: "Is your ability to predict the number of times limited?"
Raymond: "Absolutely."
Colin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little confused. From the tone of these words...it seemed like things were about to turn around?
But...unless those few things appear in front of you immediately, water from afar cannot quench your thirst for nearness, and even knowing the coordinates is of little significance.
He thought about how this guy was trying to turn over the musket blueprint two years ago, and he looked weird and said, "You don't want me to get you the battleship blueprint, do you?"
"No, you misunderstood."
Raymond shook his head.
Just one drawing?
No, only children would choose this way.
Of course, adults need people and drawings.
He cleared his throat and said: "I happen to be short of a battleship repair expert on my ship. I would like to invite a master with advanced engineering expertise like you to become my crew."
"You want to recruit me as your crew?"
Colin looked a little weird, it turned out that this guy paid this attention.
He pursed his lips and said, "Also, to correct a problem, I passed the Master of Engineering certification exam when I was thirteen years old... My current professional title is a world-certified master engineer."
He doubted whether the other party really understood what a master of engineering meant and how rare it was. Also, recruiting a master of engineering to be a shipwright would be the top level that only the "Endless Seven Emperors" level super fleet could enjoy.
Luxurious configuration...
"Master of Engineering?"
When Raymond heard this, his eyes immediately glowed like a wolf.
Damn... I found a treasure.
Of course he knows what "grandmaster" means,
Except for those old guys in Hex City who are ‘Honorary Grand Masters’, Grand Master is the highest title for engineering technicians in the world of navigation!
Raymond thought about Lulu. Could it be that this Colin is also a child prodigy?
But why is this guy so unknown in the game? Apart from appearing in the "Vulture Pirates Dungeon", this guy has no way of showing up in the later stages of the game.
"Eh...that's not right."
He thought about it again, and suddenly he was enlightened. If this guy hadn't met him now, he would definitely not be able to find the things he was looking for.
Doesn't that mean he must die?
Think about it this way... I seem to have saved another character who was destined to die in the original game plot?
In any case, since Colin is a master-level engineer, we can't let him slip away!
Raymond nodded and said directly: "Those things you mentioned flashed through my mind. Maybe I can predict the location of one or two things. But, you know, if you can promise me
A small request... Even if it takes decades of my life, I will try my best to help you find those things..."
Colin didn't have much hope, and said: "If you can really help me find any item, as a reward, it's okay for me to be a boatman for you. Of course, if the coordinates of those things are too far away...I'm afraid
I can’t live that long.”
Raymond's eyes lit up: "You agreed?"
When Colin heard this, his heart thumped, and he suddenly felt like he was being deceived.
He thought for a moment, if he couldn't find those items and his life would be lost, what room would there be for negotiating terms?
He said sternly: "If you really help me predict the location of those things, and I can find them in my limited life and survive...then, it's okay for me to help you as a boatman."
Raymond's face lit up with joy, he slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! It's a deal!"
Colin was shocked by his attitude.
"One...one word is settled."
No matter what, I feel like...this guy seems to be deliberately setting a trap for himself.
...
The sale is concluded,
The "divination" activity of Dance Master has begun.
"Ah...I feel like my life is passing..."
There still needs to be a sense of ritual.
Raymond felt that he still couldn't act too casually...if he really took things out in a hurry, it would give people a very cheap feeling.
A random spell was muttered,
Sudden,
He let out another loud howl.
"Ah...I feel like I have lost thirty years of my life..."
He thinks this trick can be used for a lifetime.
Raymond's poor acting skills made Colin's face twitch. If he hadn't known that this guy really had the ability to "prophesy", he would have definitely slapped him away when he saw this scene.
Damn it, this kind of magic stick is simply insulting people’s IQ!
After a long time, after finishing the dance, Raymond seemed to be possessed by a ghost, shaking his head and saying: "Ah... it guided me to find the direction... I seem to sense its existence..."
"Is this... really possible?"
Colin was in disbelief and asked quickly: "What thing did you sense?"
Raymond rolled his eyes, as if he was electrocuted, and mumbled: "I saw...a square Rubik's Cube..."
"Rubik's Alchemy Cube?!"
Colin's eyes lit up with joy. Since this guy dared to say it, he must have really seen it!
He hurriedly asked: "Where is it?"
Raymond half-closed his eyes and raised a finger.
Colin's eyes showed suspicion and he guessed: "You said the thing is... ten thousand nautical miles away?"
Raymond shook his head.
Colin's face looked a little ugly, and he said again: "One hundred thousand nautical miles away?"
Raymond shook his head again.
"A million nautical miles?"
Colin was desperate.
At this distance, even if he knew the specific coordinates, his remaining life force would not last until that time.
Just when he was desperate,
Sudden,
He listened to the magic stick Raymond said quietly,
"Wait for me for a quarter of an hour."
"..."
Colin was really confused.
What does it mean?
Although he felt that this guy's expression was unworthy of beating, he had to admit that the fire of hope in his heart was burning again. This was the most amazing person he had ever seen. He might not be able to create any miracles!
After saying that meaningless sentence,
Raymond didn't stay in the shop any longer.
He rushed out of the door with a whoosh,
As if he really predicted something, he followed the guidance...
