Enzo went to the "Golden Ghost" to conduct experiments with Zaolulu, while Raymond followed Capone to the so-called high-end auction exchange meeting.
There are many old and new steel ship islands in the core area of the "Black Reef Domain", as well as war fortresses built overt and covert on the reefs. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Over the past hundreds of years, large naval fleets have recorded many encirclement and suppression campaigns, but all failed.
Return with a halberd.
[Night King] Morgan is familiar with controlling "Black Lagoon City". This is one of several pirate base camps in the game where pirate camp players are active. Secret codes and magic potions for advanced advancement of various extraordinary professions.
, rare material supplies can be found in the hands of strange NPCs in the city.
The city is crowded with people, dragons and snakes mixed together. This is the largest free black market and gold selling cave in the nearby sea areas. In addition to all kinds of strange shops, there are also large and small casinos and various colorful hangings.
A romantic place with neon signs.
Capone didn't take anyone else with him, and was followed by Lady Mary and Raymond.
The three of them entered a casino, and then someone from [Night King] immediately came up to them, took them into a heavily guarded alley, and then went underground.
Raymond had never known that there was such a huge underwater building complex hidden in this city.
The three people took the elevator and estimated that they had dropped to a thousand meters below the sea level.
There was a "click" sound.
The elevator stopped, the hatch slowly opened, and a dazzling golden light pierced Raymond's eyes.
When he saw clearly the golden palace that blinded the titanium alloy eyes in front of him, he was also shocked.
I thought this high-end exchange meeting would be a dark and mysterious underground chamber, but I didn't expect it to be a luxurious "golden palace"!
Gorgeous crystal lamps illuminate the main hall with a golden light. All the metals visible to the naked eye are shining with exaggerated golden luster, and they are all made of pure gold. All kinds of luxurious and valuable antique ornaments can be seen everywhere, and even the actual names of potted plants on the system are unknown.
It is a spiritual material above rare level.
Tall and handsome maids were walking gracefully in the hall. Their clothes were scantily clad, and their brows revealed a temptation that made people feel as if they could be picked at will. Every movement they made was sexy and could arouse people's instinctive desires.
charming...
Although this palace is not as grand and elegant as those kingdom palaces, its strong nouveau riche flavor is definitely the best in the world!
This hall is home to some of the pirates' favorite items, gold, beauties, treasures... all of which are rare and top-notch in the world.
Even though Raymond was used to seeing all kinds of luxurious palaces, he was still dazzled by the "golden palace" in front of him.
"Tsk tsk... I didn't expect there to be such a good place in the 'Black Lagoon City'. [Night Emperor] Morgan is worthy of being the leader of the underground forces of the Endless Sea, and he is indeed worthy of being the richest among the legendary "Seven Endless Emperors"
The presence."
Raymond looked around at the surrounding environment and sighed repeatedly in his heart.
If we didn't say this was a pirate's lair, it would even make people think it was a cocktail party for high-ranking nobles.
Moreover, he also discovered that in addition to the beautiful female waitresses, the "guests" who came here were extremely powerful. In his perception, there were even many people whose "qi" was as terrifying as the Capone boss in front of him!
Raymond looked at the faces of those people again...all the big shots in his memory were numbered one by one.
My dear, if you pick anyone out here, they might be big pirates with a bounty of over one billion!
In addition to the "Endless Eight Emperors" and their captains, there are also various top pirates whose power is slightly weaker than the Eight Emperors. They are all stomping their feet and shaking a certain sea area...
To describe it in game terms, there are a bunch of top legendary BOSSs and epic BOSSs in this hall...
...
Capone obviously had no intention of leading Raymond around. After entering the palace, he said to Raymond: "Boy Raymond, you can wander around by yourself. I'll go say hello to some old friends. Mary will teach you how to recognize him."
people..."
With that said, the big boss took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray beside him and walked towards the small circle where the local snake [Night King] Morgan was staying.
"Hey, Capone, you're a little late..."
"Hey, Capone, you've been looking good lately. I heard that you acquired some super magic artillery a few days ago and killed a large navy fleet..."
"Tsk, tsk, Ralph, did you bring any treasure tonight? This guy Morgan said there is a big treasure auction..."
"..."
In fact, when Raymond and the other two came in just now, people from the "small circle" saw a few people.
Now Capone came over with the wine glass, and those strange-looking guys turned their heads and greeted him.
Upon seeing this, Raymond immediately knew the background of those guys. His pupils shrank slightly and he sighed in his heart: "The Seven Endless Emperors gathered together, tsk tsk... This is a famous scene that has never been seen in the 'Endless Sea'"
ah!"
[Blood King] Ralph D. Capone, reward 4.955 billion;
[Night King] Bernardino De Morgan, reward 4 billion 18 million;
[War King] Carter Z. Freeze, reward 3.627 billion;
These guys are none other than the famous "Seven Endless Emperors", seven epic bosses worthy of being recorded in history!
Raymond looked at the familiar faces, and the reward orders for these people unconsciously appeared in his mind!
It's no wonder that Capone went over to say hello in person, as only these few were qualified to stand in that "small circle."
...
"Raymond, don't stare at those big shots..."
At this time, Mary suddenly took Raymond's arm and calmly pulled him out of his daze.
Like a qualified female companion, she affectionately put his arm into the pride of her chest, and whispered: "Those big people have weird tempers. If you stare at them, you may cause trouble...
.”
No matter how ambiguous the behavior is, the expressions of the two of them are not unnatural at all. The two of them have shared hardships, which gives them a certain tacit understanding.
"oh."
When Raymond heard this, he came to his senses.
Those big tasks that were out of reach of the World Headquarters' "Top Ten Bounty List" all appeared here. No wonder he was stunned for a moment.
Of course, he also understands that these big guys are not easy people to get along with.
Despite his current reputation, in the eyes of this group of veteran pirates, he is just a "newcomer" who is just starting out.
If you really want to make these guys unhappy and want to beat them up, Capone's face won't work.
Raymond wasn't confident enough to compete with these big shots, and he didn't intend to be too high-profile in the [Night Emperor's] territory. After being reminded by Mary, his eyes immediately converged.
However, having all the ultimate bosses in the game gathered together really gave him a sense of novelty.
At this time, Mary held Raymond's arm and walked around the hall, looking over and over, while communicating with her mind as usual: "The man smoking a cigar and wearing a black suit is [Night Emperor] Morgan... drunk and drunk.
It's [Beast King] Leonis... That's the vice-emperor of the 'War Emperor Pirates'..."
She thought Raymond didn't know these people, so she introduced them all the way.
Raymond didn't say much, he was as low-key as a little transparent.
While listening, he looked at the rare high-end culinary delicacies and fruits and vegetables on the table. He was not polite and would pick up a piece and stuff it into his mouth from time to time.
[Ding! You took ‘Nine Color Nightshade’ and your constitution is 2...]
[Ding! You took ‘Emerald Sea Viper’ and your agility is 3...]
[Ding! You took the ‘Iron Scale Shrimp’, toughness 2...]
【...】
The [Night Emperor]'s power spreads across almost all human realms in the Endless Sea, and he can always get some weird things. He can guarantee that the delicacies on this table, even the most noble kings of the human empire, may not be the same.
Ate.
In order to hold the "Seven Emperors Sea Meeting" this time, [Night Emperor] Morgan seemed to have put a lot of thought into it.
The system prompts kept ringing, and Raymond was eating happily.
Mary didn't stop him. Instead, she was like a gentle female companion, occasionally helping Raymond wipe the food residue from the corner of his mouth and tidying up the wrinkles on his clothes... leisurely and comfortably.
The two little shrimps were originally the foils for this exchange meeting.
I just came here to get to know him, and after Capone started talking about good things, I would leave with him.
...
Most of the pirates are rough people who don't like to be restrained.
Even though this hall looks like an elegant cocktail party for nobles, except for a few big pirates who were originally down-and-out nobles, but they behaved decently, the others were completely devoid of elegance.
They were disheveled, with their breasts exposed, eating and drinking, making loud noises, and there were many eager guys who directly touched the exposed girls...
In this comparison, Raymond, who only cared about eating, actually looked very delicate.
"Black Lagoon City", as a well-known gold-selling cave, was originally a place that provided top-level entertainment for pirates.
This seems to have been a treat by [Night King] Morgan for people to enjoy.
The identities of the "guests" who can come to this golden palace are not simple. Mary introduced them to Raymond one by one.
There are even some low-key strong men who have never appeared in the game.
"[Lord of Gluttony] Kazakh Maluruya, user of the 'Swallowing Fruit' ability, captain of the third division of the 'Beast King Pirates'..."
"[Dark Demon] Fannie Rupert, captain of the 11th Division of the 'War Emperor Pirates'..."
"[Red Snake] Jones Harris, captain of the ninth division of the 'Fire King Pirates'..."
"..."
Even though these guys look weird, they are all extremely powerful.
Raymond secretly memorized the "qi" of these guys, and roughly felt a few vague "hostile targets".
This is the most important purpose of Mr. Capone bringing him here.
...
The food and drinks at the reception seemed endless.
Raymond only picked one portion of each food to eat, specifically choosing dishes that he had never eaten before and dishes with high attributes... But even so, he still felt overwhelmed.
Often, before finishing the hundreds of kinds of food on the table, a group of maids would appear and take away the still full plate of food and replace it with a new batch of different kinds of exquisite food.
If the cocktail party continues like this, Raymond thinks it's not bad, at least the attributes will increase a lot.
But obviously, the theme of today's exchange meeting is still "auction".
After Mr. Capone finished reminiscing with his acquaintances, the three of them were led to a partitioned private room on the second floor. Looking through the window, they could clearly see the auction podium on the first floor.
The protagonist of this exchange meeting is the "Endless Seven Emperors", and the auction items that can attract the attention of this group of top bosses are definitely extraordinary.
Raymond was already mentally prepared, but when the collections were placed on the stage one by one, he still felt an eye-opening shock.
This is the first time he has been a pirate for so long that he feels like his ambition to rob is just around the corner...
If you have the ability...
At this moment, he really wanted to rob the auction house!
"The auction item below is a 60% new 'Poseidon-class battleship'. This is the latest retired main battleship of the Navy. It has good kinetic energy and artillery... It has been unstable recently. This thing is very rare. The starting price...
.”
"The auction item below is the famous sword [Big Feng Wolf Fang]. This is the 20th best sword in the 'Big Hengdao·Twenty-Nine Royal Hands Anzuna'. It was the sword of the former Navy Vice Admiral Hudson..."
.”
"The next auction item is the Superman Devil Fruit [Rubber Fruit]..."
"..."
Each piece of top-notch treasure, just like an ordinary auction item, was randomly priced in this auction house at a sky-high price that would make the outside world stunned.
From the private rooms next door, there would occasionally be a few lazy shouts of price. Obviously, the only people who could afford these treasures were the rich and well-oiled top pirates.
At this moment, Mr. Capone seemed to have a rare conscience discovery, and actually said: "Boy Raymond, if there is something you like, I can help you take a picture. After all, you have helped me a lot recently.
..”
Not to mention other things, the knowledge of runes taught by Colin is a priceless treasure.
"Uh-huh!"
After hearing this, Raymond's eyes lit up and he nodded unceremoniously.
Don't take advantage of the boss's advantage.
The auction items here are all extremely valuable. Even if Capone didn't mention it, Raymond would have been very excited...
...
More than ten things were photographed one after another. Although Raymond was greedy for seeing them, none of them were necessary.
Finally, something appeared on the auction table that he couldn't take his eyes away from.
Auctioneer: "The next item is a very rare fruit [Ice Soul Fruit]. You should have heard of this legendary fruit that only exists in extremely cold seas..."
[Bingpo Fruit (Epic)]
Only valid for extraordinary beings below sequence 0
Detailed explanation: The legendary magical fruit; after taking it, the extraordinary person can greatly reduce the potion fusion time (reduced by 80-95%) and increase the probability of advancement; ice resistance is 500; ice spell specialization is 320%;
In the actual system, the attributes are more detailed than what the auctioneer described.
"Lord Capone, I want to take a picture of this fruit!"
The first time Raymond saw this fruit, his eyes immediately lit up.
He has no need for other attributes of the fruit, but the attribute of "reducing the fusion time of magic medicine" is urgently needed at the moment!
With this fruit, it means that his advancement sequence 1 process can be greatly shortened.
He has just advanced to Sequence 2 [World Honored Ksitigarbha]. Originally, it would take at least several years to reach the threshold of Sequence 1 through normal cultivation. With this fruit... maybe he can do it in a few months!
"Um."
Capone nodded, glanced at Raymond, and showed an expected expression.
Strange fruits that can enhance strength are almost always treasures for all extraordinary beings.
But the big boss [Blood Emperor] bid in person, and everyone gave him face, and no one raised his voice and raised the price.
What's more, the attribute that is only effective for extraordinary beings below sequence 0 is a bit useless for these top extraordinary beings present.
In the end, Raymond easily got the fruit.
Sure enough, only by following the boss can you get meat.
...
Originally, Raymond thought that after taking the strange fruit, the auction would have nothing to do with him.
But as he patted it, another treasure caught his attention.
Auctioneer: "The following item is an S-class 'forbidden object' for which the World Headquarters is offering a bounty, [Haines' Notes]. I think everyone who is working here has heard of the existence of Haines...
"
When Raymond looked at the dark notebook appearing on the auction table, his expression immediately became strange.
He just got a notebook from Mr. Enzo, and now another one appears at this auction?
Faintly, he felt that things seemed not that simple.
