"Arthur, you exposed your identity in advance, which will definitely affect your subsequent trials. If someone targets you at the end of the day, I'm afraid the plan will not go so smoothly..."
"Father! I think this will make it easier to get closer to Irene. Besides, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how many tricks are used, it's useless. Do you think that I, who have awakened the family bloodline, am still good at this Philip Academy?
Who is the opponent?"
"Don't underestimate the enemy! Just like today's dinner, if you hadn't been too strong, you wouldn't have attracted that Raymond."
If Arthur hadn't resisted showing off his skills this time and secured the match with Faerun in advance with an overwhelming advantage, things might have ended differently.
It's a pity that Arthur lost because he was too high-profile, and instead brought out a real monster like Raymond.
However, in Arthur's opinion, this is just an insignificant potion competition.
"Father, it's not that I'm jealous and deliberately targeting him, but that guy named Raymond really feels strange to me... It's like facing an old enemy like a vampire, and I have a kind of natural disgust that I can't suppress.
The murderous intention in my heart."
"Yeah. That kid also gave me the same feeling. It might be a good thing to expose him in advance this time. That kid is so close to Irene, maybe he has a close relationship with that high-level vampire."
"That's right! The Navy Headquarters will have a big secret operation tonight. Father, do you know?"
"I know, but I won't participate. My whereabouts cannot be exposed for the time being. You must be careful. As long as you act according to the plan, in ten days, this sea area will be the world of our Orm family."
No one noticed that there was a middle-aged man disguised as a cook among the entourage of Aum Academy.
No one expected that Archduke Aum would actually lower his identity and sneak into Philip's territory disguised as a secret.
...
Norton Street, a bar street.
Last time, people from the Golden Teeth Pirates and the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce made a lot of noise here, destroying half of the street. But not even half a month later, the place had returned to its previous lively and prosperous scene.
White Shark Tavern.
Raymond followed Anna and entered this secret underground auction house that only accepts members for the first time.
The secret auction is a place similar to a basement, with rusty pipes everywhere. It was probably an abandoned boiler room hundreds of years ago. The venue is very crudely decorated, with no power supply, and a few oil lamps illuminate the entire room.
It's dim and dark, adding a bit of mystery.
There are many such abandoned underground pipeline areas in the depths of the city in District 23. They are inaccessible and no one can figure out where this complex underground pipeline system leads. This is the real place where filth and evil are hidden. Underground forces
The most active place.
Legend has it that there are many mutated monsters in these places that are never exposed to sunlight.
But Raymond knew that these were not legends.
These pipeline areas in the game are one of the few places in Philip's territory where wild monsters are intensively spawned, and players love to visit them.
There are some primary crypt monsters such as mutated giant rats here, and occasionally some two-breath creatures from the deep sea will emerge, which can produce some good potion materials.
Especially in the deeper wading areas at the bottom, there are even higher-level terrifying sea monsters lurking.
Both Raymond and Anna were dressed in black hoods and deliberately covered their faces with scarves. They looked like tightly wrapped assassins. In this dark underground world, without the faint light of the oil lamp, their movements would be completely blended in.
in the dark.
"Raymond, you don't seem surprised at all? Isn't this your first time at this kind of secret auction?"
Generally speaking, people are innately wary of strange environments. Especially in such an eerie place, anyone who comes there will be trembling with fear.
But along the way just now, Anna watched Raymond strolling leisurely, as if he was walking in his own back garden.
Raymond said half-truthfully: "I grew up in the 23rd arrondissement. I often visited places like this when I was a kid."
Hearing this, Anna suddenly said, "Oh."
"The two gatekeepers just now are at least Sequence 8 Transcendents. The standards of this auction are a bit high."
Raymond muttered and then asked: "By the way, Tutor Anna, what's the matter with the 'Solderos Notes' you mentioned before?"
"I heard that the 'Blood Skull Pirates' robbed the descendants of the 'Black Sea's No. 1 Swordsman' Soderos and obtained a kendo handbook that recorded his training in his youth, 'The Thirteenth Way of Fury Sword'. Of course.
, the Blood Skull people are very careful about this matter, and not many people know the inside story."
After a pause, Anna continued: "You awakened as a [Juggler], and you will definitely become a spear and sword master in the future. I think that there will probably be no better inheritance of swordsmanship than this in the entire Black Sea.
"
Raymond was startled, something suddenly occurred to him, and he muttered in his mind, "So this is where the 'Sword of Storming Wind' comes from. So... the destruction of the Blood Skeletons should be the prelude to that mission?"
He naturally knows [Storming Wind Sword], which is one of the most awesome sword skills that a kendo player can come across in the early stages of the game.
Moreover, this set of swordsmanship also hides a series of follow-up tasks, which were successfully completed and directly pointed to the entire inheritance of "Sword Demon" Sodros.
This is one of the most awesome swordsmanship traditions in the entire world of navigation!
He also knew that after Sodros disappeared, his family was wiped out.
He even knew that there were still a few fish in the Soderos family that had slipped through the net, and they should land in Philip's territory soon, triggering the next step of the "Chasing the Murderer" mission.
Many people don't know why Sodorus disappeared, but Raymond knows.
There was an expansion pack in the middle and later stages that revealed this plot.
Sodros got a "magic sword" and became possessed by a mental disorder and became a sword slave. He eventually caused endless killings and was beheaded by the navy admiral himself.
"It turned out to be the door to the destruction of the Blood Skull Pirates. So, the clues to the beheading mission "Chasing the Murderer", which was once ranked as one of the "Mysteries of the Hidden Moon Castle" as one of the "Top Ten Mysteries of Philip's Territory"
it's here?"
Raymond's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became even more determined to obtain this manuscript.
If nothing unexpected happens, with this inside information, he can even successfully get the reward of the "Decapitation Mission" from Sodros's descendants!
In the original game, many kendo masters were missing this key task, so the "Sorderos Legacy" they finally got was incomplete.
finally,
Raymond felt that he was fooled.
Soderos's "Storm of Storms and Sword Style"...thinking about it makes people feel excited.
Tsk tsk, a super awesome swordsmanship inheritance...
The key is, this style is not only awesome, but its moves are also cool!
Because of this reason, various fast sword styles have become the most popular styles among players in the game.
...
Anna looked at Raymond's eyes shining and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about? Why did I feel that your eyes were shining like a wolf just now?"
"Well... I thought of some happy things."
As soon as Raymond finished speaking, a big question suddenly occurred to him.
Then he looked embarrassed again and said hesitantly: "If you want to take a photo of this manuscript, I'm afraid it won't be cheap, right?"
"Um?"
Although Anna's top-secret pretty face was hidden by the scarf, her crystal eyes seemed to be able to speak, revealing a charming and clever look.
"Damn it...Why did I forget Anna's identity...The lady in front of me is not only fair and beautiful, but she is also a super rich woman!"
Raymond felt that he understood something in her meaningful eyes.
This look is like the look of those rich women in private clubs...
That’s the look that makes duck kings flock to you!
The princess of a subjugated country is still a princess no matter what.
What's more, behind her is the Golden Teeth Pirates who made their fortune through robbery.
Raymond felt that he seemed to be getting smoother and smoother on the road to eating soft food...
One Irene, one Anna...two super rich women!
Reason only resisted for a moment, and then it was shattered into pieces like a dam bursting.
Forget it, I accept my fate!
If you want to eat soft food, just eat soft food. The opportunity to work hard for twenty years is not something that everyone can encounter.
If Teacher Anna really has any indescribable thoughts, I won’t be reserved!
but...
Whip and candle bundles and stuff...
It seems a bit shameful...
Nonsence!
The price is right and you don’t need to be embarrassed!
