"Do you know where the [Juggler's] advanced potion is?"
Raymond followed the topic and continued.
Although there was clearly a pit in front of him, he had to convince himself to jump in.
"I'm not sure about other formulas, but at least I'm sure of this. The formula for the advanced sequence [Joker] corresponding to [Juggler] is in the territory right now!"
Raymond actually knew Anna's purpose of staying in Phillip's territory all along.
Legend has it that His Majesty, the last king of the former Tianlan Dynasty, was also Anna's biological father... He secretly made a trip to Philip's territory before the country was overthrown, met with Grand Duke Philip in secret, and left behind a "secret treasure of the kingdom".
Players all know that Anna is looking for the secret treasure of the kingdom.
But no one knows exactly what this secret treasure is.
Raymond also finally understood why she was so quick to give the [Juggler] potion just now.
In other words, if you are promoted to "Magician" and extraordinary,
Isn’t it more urgent to need the exclusive advanced golden potion [Joker]?
...
Raymond was not dazzled by the "golden potion" either.
If the risk is too great, he won't make any promises.
Although [Joker] is the most suitable potion for him to upgrade, if the cost is too high, he would rather choose some alternative secondary potions.
"Just in the territory?"
Raymond thought for a while and said quietly: "Don't tell me that it is in the hands of the lord."
"No. According to my many years of investigation, I found that the formula is actually hidden in the college's library."
"library?"
Hearing this, Raymond was a little confused.
As a tutor yourself, wouldn't it be easy to get in and out of the library?
Seeing Raymond's strange expression, Anna also guessed his doubts.
She didn't intend to hide it, and said directly: "Due to some special circumstances, I can't go to the secret room on the third floor of the library. So, I need someone to help me."
"Is there a third secret room in the library?"
Raymond was really surprised now,
Whether in the game or in the memory of its predecessor, Philip's Library only has two floors.
What's going on with the third layer that's popping up now?
What's more, Anna's identity is very special,
If she can't get in, what can I do to help?
Raymond asked directly: "Well... why can't you go? The lord is still your distant uncle, so he shouldn't stop you, right?
"Do you even know about this relationship? It seems that Grandpa Bell has told you everything..."
Anna glanced at him in surprise, and said in a slightly surprised tone: "I'm afraid even Irene doesn't know about my relationship with the Duke."
It seems that this classmate Raymond in front of me seems to know all his secrets.
It seems there is nothing to hide,
She couldn't help but feel a little more trusting.
Raymond shrugged as acquiescence.
In the previous game, the relationship between Anna and Grand Duke Philip was a hidden clue in the early game, but it will be exposed at the end of the Black Sea expansion, so it is normal for him to know.
Anna continued the topic just now and said: "Only blood relatives of the Philip family can open the third-level secret room... In other words, in the entire territory, except for the lord, only little Aylin can enter. But... none of them know how.
help me."
"You can't do it, why do you think I can do it?"
Raymond probably guessed what she wanted to say.
Sure enough.
"Recently, that little girl Ailin keeps telling me that a brave classmate saved her... I can almost feel the ringing in my ears..."
The teasing look in Anna's eyes was very full, and she said faintly: "It seems that she trusts you very much."
"You want me to open my mouth and let Eileen take me to the secret room of the library to get what you want?"
Raymond probably guessed that it must not be as simple as the potion formula, "But Teacher Anna, please tell me, are you looking for what you want?"
In the secret room of the library,
I'm afraid there is something crucial.
Before he knew it, he didn't want to be taken advantage of.
I don’t know that Anna really regards Raymond as one of her own,
I still feel that people won’t trust me if I’m secretive.
She said frankly: "Well. I want to retaliate and take revenge. The only hope now is to find the treasure map left by my father."
There was a flash of realization in Raymond's eyes, "Treasure map?"
It turns out that the "secret treasure of the kingdom" left by the old king was a treasure map.
"Yes!"
Anna nodded and slowly told a story, telling the origin of this treasure map.
"My Lord, the Campbell family, had a great adventurer a long time ago..."
This is a long-standing story. It was because of that great ancestor that Campbell became a prosperous dynasty for hundreds of years.
Raymond also understood,
The great adventurer accidentally discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization during a voyage.
Then he also found a particularly awesome treasure in the ruins.
In order not to affect world peace,
He hid this secret in the ruins,
I left such a treasure map,
Passed down from generation to generation.
...
Now Raymond completely understood the whole context of the matter.
Anna hid in Phillip's territory to find this thing.
But he couldn't understand either,
If there really is such a big killer weapon as she said,
Why didn't Archduke Philip, as his uncle, help him get it back?
Raymond felt that there might be some other hidden secret here, so he asked his doubts: "In that case, why are the Duke and others unwilling to help you?"
Anna guessed that Raymond would definitely have doubts, so she confessed everything.
"Because they feel that... no matter who goes there, they will definitely die."
After saying this, she took a deep breath, looked solemn, and sighed, "They don't want me to die."
"Death is inevitable?" Raymond was a little surprised.
However, it can be explained in this way.
Since Philip is her uncle,
Then she will definitely not be allowed to die.
After a pause, Anna continued: "The place where the ruins are located is a 'nightmare ghost'. It was a fluke that my ancestors came out of there alive..."
After hearing these words, Raymond suddenly looked enlightened.
Only that special sea area could make the only senior navigator in Philip Territory show such a fearful expression.
"Nightmare and ghosts" is a synonym for an extremely dangerous sea area that people in the world of navigation call.
That kind of sea area is covered by fog all year round, the magnetic field is chaotic and the direction cannot be discerned, and there are extremely special and complex ocean currents, wind directions and whirlpools.
No one can tell clearly what is in the nightmare sea,
because...
I have never heard of anyone coming out of a nightmare alive!
It is like a man-eating ghost. Whether it is a sea ship or a sea monster, it can enter or exit. It is a nightmare for sailors.
"Nightmare Ghost" is like a black hole, with no way in or out.
It represents ten deaths and no life.
...
"What?"
When Raymond heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.
If he remembers correctly,
There is only one "nightmare sea" in the Black Sea.
Everyone has only one life, and adventurers who choose to test the "Nightmare Ghost" never come out alive, so it is a mystery, a nightmare, and a taboo for the natives of the great maritime world.
But for gamers,
"Nightmare Ghost" is a paradise for pioneers and a paradise for explorers.
because...
Players are not afraid of death at all, they can resurrect zombies infinitely!
die?
Gee, that's not even a thing.
The harsh and complex sea environment is a dead end for NPCs.
But for players,
The more dangerous the place,
This means that the harvest from land reclamation will be greater.
The more powerful the monster,
This means that the more experience you have, the rarer the materials and equipment you will explode.
In the previous life game,
After several years of exploration, most of this "nightmare ghost" in the Black Sea has been figured out by an army of players.
What safe routes are there, where are the monsters, where are the Neptune bosses, where are the sunken treasure chests?
This sea area known as the forbidden land by the world,
There are no secrets anymore in the eyes of the majority of players.
Nightmare?
nonexistent!
That sea area is very difficult for a professional power leveler like Raymond.
It's just a super copy of the first expansion pack.
Can...
What is hidden in that nightmare ghost world?
Is it worth Anna’s persistence for more than ten years?
