Sure enough, after hearing these words, the mysterious man suddenly raised his head, and his thick hair could not hide the shock in his eyes.
It was a kind of passionate gaze that was not as old as imagined.
“Keyword triggers are still exactly the same as in the game!”
Although Raymond didn't know the true origin of this guy, he knew his true purpose of appearing on this ship.
This guy is here for Ghost Ship Island!
Even in previous lives, players have successively unlocked some secrets of "Ghost Ship Island", but they have never really set foot in the core.
Because this is a super hidden plot that is at least the ninth level.
Legend has it that twenty years ago there was an invincible fleet that conquered the Endless Sea, the fleet of Pirate King Delos.
They are powerful and span the four seas, and there are countless high-level extraordinary awakeners gathered on the ship...
Legend has it that this fleet already has combat power that rivals the World Government.
But for some reason, the Pirate King's fleet chose to take the initiative and attack the Navy Headquarters head-on...
That battle was fought in darkness.
There is also a vague record of this past event in the history books of the world government.
It is probably written about a group of pirates who arrogantly attacked the navy headquarters, and the end result was the destruction of the entire army.
The specific cause of the whole thing is ultimately a huge mystery to everyone in the world.
No one knows why the Pirate King's fleet, which can control all seas, would choose to "foolishly" attack the navy headquarters.
After the war, only empty islands and countless ghosts accompanying the ships were left.
"Ghost Ship Island" floats aimlessly on the sea, and many people have heard its legend.
It is a place of death. The island is full of high-level undead, and creatures cannot enter or exit.
But this crazy guy in front of me wants to go in and find out!
.....
"I heard what you said on the deck."
Sure enough, this guy has special means to get information from the outside world.
The mysterious man finally spoke. He glanced at Raymond and asked meaningfully: "The prophecy guided you to find me. Why?"
Raymond pointed to the explosive collar around his neck and said, "I think you can open it."
"The mysterious prophet has extraordinary abilities and indeed has some skills..."
The mysterious man was not surprised, and his tone also contained a hint of enthusiastic curiosity about unknown mysteries.
"Yes, it is really easy for me to untie this low-level explosive collar."
He did not continue the topic of the collar, but instead asked: "However, since you predicted the 'Ghost Fleet', can you help me predict the exact time when it will appear?"
This question seems to be testing the authenticity of the school’s “prophecy”.
After a pause, he continued: "Although I have calculated that it will appear in this sea area, I don't know its precise location... If you don't miss it, you will have to wait for many years."
Raymond said categorically: "Six hours later, black latitude 32°20' west longitude 64°45', this is what I predicted."
Hearing this, the mysterious man was slightly startled, and then his eyes revealed a deep look.
It's so accurate?!
In contrast, he seemed to be more interested in Raymond's awakened extraordinary abilities.
He muttered: "Your ability seems a bit special. You have such accurate prediction ability at Sequence 9, and there don't seem to be any serious sequelae. Gee, it seems that Heins has developed some strange things back then.
invention..."
As we all know, although the mysterious "prophet" ability is powerful, it does not come without a price.
The more accurate the prediction, the greater the price the prophet will pay, even his life!
"This guy seems to know the truth about Heins' notes. Maybe he can get some more key information..."
When Raymond heard the sympathetic tone of this mysterious man, his first reaction was that this guy was probably some kind of hidden boss.
That's right, otherwise how could he dare to pay attention to "Ghost Ship Island" alone?
...
In the game, this mysterious NPC doesn't talk so much, nor does it have such rich expressions towards players.
"It's just a low-level engineering precision instrument with a four-digit key. It's easy to crack."
The mysterious man glanced at the collar around Raymond's neck, and his tone was slightly disdainful because of his confidence.
He didn't seem to bother cracking the code at all.
After pondering for a moment, he took out a black iron needle from somewhere and gently fiddled with the combination lock a few times.
With a "click", the explosive collar was easily untied.
"I destroyed the detonating device inside. Even if you carry it, there will be no danger. When you don't need it anymore, just break it off and throw it away."
The mysterious man stared into Raymond's eyes and said: "My intuition tells me that you have other purposes. Let's face it, I don't like guys who hide their heads and show their tails."
The mysterious man's tone sounded like he was chasing away guests.
Raymond knew that the opportunity was too good to miss, so he tested it: "The prophecy tells me that you have a very powerful musket blueprint."
The mysterious man squinted his eyes and smiled slyly: "Haha, I know a lot of weapon blueprints, which one are you talking about?"
Raymond made some rough gestures,
"I saw a strange shape on the musket on the drawing. It seemed to have three barrels."
As soon as these words came out,
The mysterious man's eyes instantly turned cold, and the cell became eerily quiet.
"Oops, is there any hidden triggering point in this drawing?"
When Raymond saw the mysterious man's expression change slightly, he knew something was wrong.
He had never done the mission of this rare blueprint in his previous life, so he didn't know if this blueprint would trigger any plot in the future.
The atmosphere was as cold as the surrounding iron cage, and Raymond even regretted asking for the drawings.
Sure enough, at this time the mysterious man spoke coldly.
"You know a little too much."
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two suddenly dropped to freezing point.
Raymond knew that the hidden boss in front of him wanted to kill him, and he was afraid that he would not even have a chance to struggle.
Now we are not playing games, we can still resurrect ourselves.
He didn't dare to test it again,
His original plan to take the opportunity to inquire about the follow-up to "Haynes' Death Note" fell through.
In the previous game, he had to complete a lot of prerequisite tasks to have a small chance of obtaining this blueprint. He didn't think that he was the European Emperor, and he could make this mysterious NPC come up with the treasure with just a few words.
"Sorry for disturbing you."
Before he completely angered this mysterious man, Raymond decided to withdraw decisively.
"Wait...interesting boy."
But just when he was about to turn around and leave, the mysterious figure suddenly changed his attention.
"Since you want it, it's okay to give it to you. It seems that you are planning to do other things, so I'll give you a little thing as a gift..."
As he said that, the mysterious man took out a blueprint and a strange-looking key from nowhere, his expression a little downcast.
"I don't know if I have a chance to survive this exploration of the 'Ghost Ship Island'. If I die, at least this musket drawing, which represents the pinnacle of firearms, can still prove the glorious skills of my mentor's lineage."
