Chapter 184: Returning to the Old Business
Raymond rescued Joselyn, the [Liaison Officer] of the Golden Tooth Pirates, in the Brown Bear Collar and learned some clues.
The woman said that they had been inquiring about Anna's whereabouts for the past two years, and they could only confirm that she was secretly locked up in the Tianlan Royal Capital, but they were not sure which prison she was locked in... The news of the Golden Tooth is quite wide, and they can't find out the exact news, which means that Anna is definitely not an ordinary prison that is easy for outsiders to access.
There are dozens of large prisons in Tianlan Wangdu, and there are countless small ones.
Raymond estimates that it will probably take him a year or two to determine one by one, like a golden tooth.
He waited, but Anna in prison might not be alive by then.
So, he thought of a convenient source channel.
Anna is the princess of the former head of the Campbell family of the Tianlan royal family, and the person who knows where she is being held must be a high-ranking member of the Tianlan Ministry of Justice.
Last time, the Golden Tooth was going to bribe the secretary of the warden of the royal capital, Bu Nod Carlson... This line of thinking is fine, but unfortunately the plan has gone awry. The personal secretary of this type of high-ranking official has a high loyalty, and the penetration may be very low.
Raymond's plan is similar to Goldfang's, but instead of being so stupid to go directly to Warden Bunod, he has a better choice!
......
The three-ring city of "Saffirs" is the favorite place of Tianlan nobles, where the most prosperous business circle of the entire Black Sea, and almost all the headquarters stores of the major chambers of commerce are gathered here, and these shops also bring together the best quality goods and services of the entire Black Sea.
There is a mysterious narrow alley next to the green pothos street on the Third Ring Island, which is only two or three hundred steps from the street to the end of the stairs, and there are more than ten shops scattered around. It's a bit like the Tianqiao fortune-telling street in Raymond's previous life, where the most famous soothsayers, astrologers, prophets, and occultists in the whole Tianlan are gathered... You can find all the mainstream divination techniques on the market, astrology, tarot, crystal balls, divination, poker and even tortoiseshell burning... This place not only divins people, but also sells some mysterious materials.
To put it more colloquially, this is a gathering place for god sticks.
There are a few soothsayers here who have awakened some superficial "prophetic" supernatural abilities, and most of them are magic sticks, and divination depends on a mouth.
Raymond didn't know why, but when he walked into this alley, he felt a particularly intimate feeling.
"Gesen's Divination Hut" is located in a good location on the corner of this magic stick alley, and the owner Gessen is a master of the occult who claims to be good at astrology. Of course, players in the game prefer to call this guy "Gerson the Liar".
There is a black cloth curtain with mysterious symbols printed on half of the door, the shop is only twenty or thirty square meters, the light is very dim, and there are all kinds of occult symbols copied from various ancient books, all kinds of runes of the stars, and some of the wrong ancient Nix symbols... In the wooden cabinet next to it, there are various mineral powders, as well as some hallucinogenic potions.
Gerson knows some introductory hypnosis, so business is not bad.
After Raymond entered the door, he simply and rudely expressed his intentions and said a classic opening sentence.
"Master, have you divined that you have a bloody plague today?"
Then, before the master could cry out for help, a stick knocked him unconscious and stuffed into the basement.
The ladies of the high nobility were almost not interested in supernatural powers, and spent a lot of their leisure time except for doing hair, just buying and buying. Divination is also a fashion in the upper class circle, and these eight women have one of the greatest uses for players in the game, which is to inquire about the news of the upper echelons of Tianlan. Some extremely private gossip, like what so-and-so minister doesn't mention, so-and-so old man is good man... Such secret news is not known anywhere else, and in the mouths of those noble ladies, it is just gossip after dinner.
Raymond knocked out Gesen, sat in the divination hall as his overseas wandering disciple, returned to his old business, and became a god.
He had planned to stay here for a few days, and with the plots he was familiar with in the game, he was so familiar with the pretending that he could easily get acquainted with the lady dog and get some useful news. What's more, there is also a regular customer in the "Gesen's Divination Hut", she is Vasily Carlsen, the wife of the warden of the royal capital, a fat lady who is particularly well-informed.
But
A few days after Raymond Dove's Nest divination shop, he did not wait for Mrs. Carlson, but he waited for an unexpected visitor.
......
In the evening of this day,
Raymond was just about to close the door when a mysterious guy came in through the crack in the door.
It was as if half of his body had been bitten off by a shark, and the sleeve of his right arm was empty, and his right foot was also a stake. Messy brown hair, although it looks like it has been through vicissitudes, it shouldn't be very old. Look at his "Qi" when the oil has run out and the lamp has withered, as if he has been seriously injured and has not yet healed, and half of his foot has stepped into the coffin.
Probably this is a guy who can't be saved by normal medical skills and wants to rely on the occult to save his life.
Raymond was not interested in all the guests who were not noblewomen, and he didn't want to delay the reception of this man, so he said directly: "The shop is closed, please come back another day." ”
The man didn't leave, and directly explained his intentions, "I heard that your divination is very effective. So, I want you to help me find someone for my divination. ”
As he spoke, he took out an object and said, "If you find that person, this thing is yours." ”
Raymond probably also knows that he has been divining fortunes for the ladies these days, and because he is familiar with the plot, the hit rate of flickering is quite high, which also makes his fortune divination fame gradually spread among the circle of high-class noblewomen.
This guy is obviously famous.
He was not interested in taking this job, but when he saw what the man was doing, he immediately changed his mind and asked, "Who do you want to find?" ”
What this guy actually took out in his hand was a fist-sized Warcraft crystal nucleus, and the system showed that it was a sixth-order Warcraft crystal nucleus! This thing is almost the top Warcraft crystal nucleus that the major forces in the Black Sea can hunt through normal channels, with a market value of more than 100 million quarks!
The remuneration is so generous, it is obviously a "fat sheep".
If you happen to know who this person is looking for, if you say a word, it will be worth 100 million, so why not.
An unexpected smile appeared on the corner of the wood-footed man's mouth, and he said, "A person who has awakened the ability of 'accurate prediction' is about eighteen or nineteen years old. ”
“...”
Another blind guess?
Raymond was a little speechless and said, "Guest, the more clues you give me, the better I can divination... For example, his name, his abilities, and the sea area where he probably appears..."
In his mind, a divination task worth such a large amount of money must not be a lonely person.
has been in the game for many years, and he knows all the famous characters in the Black Sea, no matter how much he knows, with a little clue, this 100 million will be stable.
"The last time I met him was more than two years ago, in Phillip's territorial waters... Of course, that territory no longer exists. As for his name, I don't know very well. ”
"Philip Collar?"
Raymond was stunned.
After being in Philip for so long, the person who asked this guy might have known it himself, so he asked, "Can you be more detailed?" ”
The wooden-footed man said, took out a portrait, and said, "I guess he looks like this... Although I didn't draw very well, I think it was enough for you to divination. ”
Raymond looked at the charcoal portrait of a young-looking teenager.
Somehow, he always felt that the portrait was a little ugly, a little familiar, and it seemed that he had really seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The wooden-footed man looked at Raymond a little unprofessionally, obviously this way of talking is more like a magic stick.
In the past two days, he has encountered too much.
Whether or not he has truly awakened the extraordinary ability of the "prophet" will be known by showing his hand.
He urged, "Don't you use a crystal ball for divination?" ”
Raymond is obviously aware that the other party wants to test his abilities, but he can use a hammer crystal ball divination!
Those who can take out the sixth-order crystal nucleus as remuneration are definitely not as easy to fool as those noble ladies.
If you don't talk nonsense, it will lead to death.
Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry, so he pretended to be profound: "You know, Philip has experienced war and plague two years ago, and maybe the person you are looking for has died. ”
"No!"
The wood-footed man shook his head and said, "Anyone else could die, but that guy definitely won't." ”
After a pause, he continued, "As I said, he has awakened a very powerful 'prophet' ability. He can accurately predict the future, so I believe he is still alive! ”
Raymond's face was a little strange when he heard this, could it be that this person was talking about the "prophet" Loran? Only that kind of big guy can have the kind of precise prediction he says.
He tried to guess, "Her hair is silver?" ”
The wooden-footed man's face changed slightly, and this guy is beating around the bush again!
But even if he had already decided that the guy in front of him was a liar, he replied with his temperament: "No, I remember it was brown." ”
Raymond frowned: "Then she's a woman?" ”
“...”
The wooden-footed man glanced at Raymond with a strange expression, "Although I didn't draw very well, it was obviously a male portrait." ”
Isn't it the Loren boss?
Raymond racked his brains and couldn't think of any other man in the Black Sea who matched his description of "prophetic ability".
Get this result,
At this time, there was no hope on the face of the wooden-footed man.
It looks like it's going to be useless again...
This guy in front of him, no matter how you look at it, is the kind of magic stick that can only flicker!
Sure enough, there could be no capable "prophetic" transcendent in this remote sea.
"Forget it, I don't think you can help me find someone."
As he spoke, he put away the sixth-order demonic beast crystal nucleus, sighed, and prepared to turn around and go out.
"Wait!"
Raymond really couldn't figure out who this guy was talking about, and there was no one near Philip who could be nice to him.
He couldn't bear to give up the revenge of the sixth-order demonic beast crystal nucleus, and finally tried again: "My prediction ability has already given me some faint pictures, if you can provide some more clues, I will probably know with certainty... For example, the situation you encountered, where did you encounter it, and what other people were around..."
"Well..."
The wooden-footed man hesitated for a moment, then stopped. After all, if he can't find that person again, his own life may not be saved. The undead corrosive force has become stronger and stronger, and if he can't find that thing anymore, his life is about to be consumed by that undead power.
He said slowly, "I've only met him once, when I met him on the Vulture Pirates' ship island..."
When Raymond heard this, he suddenly thought of something, and his face showed a look of disbelief.
He stared at the wood-footed man carefully, his pupils shrinking suddenly.
Damn, it can't be such a coincidence, it's really that guy, right?
At this time, the wood-footed man continued to narrate: "There should still be the little princess of Philip at that time, I remember if she was called Erin or Aina or something..."
"It's really that guy..."
Raymond looked at the portrait again, isn't this what he looked like two years ago?
Although the drawing is as abstract as the Sanji bounty order in a certain pirate manga, the outline is indeed its own.
Raymond looked at it with real eyes, and sure enough, the top of the wood-footed man's head showed a familiar name "Colin Rodriguez"!
This guy...
He is the mysterious man who Raymond just crossed into the world of navigation and met after giving him the "Hex three-barreled warhammer", and then broke into the "ghost fleet" alone!
I thought that guy was an old man, but I didn't expect that when he shaved his beard, he was actually a young man who looked quite handsome in front of him!
"The golden thighs are back!"
Raymond looked at this guy, and the thought immediately rose in his heart.
The sloppy guy in front of him is a mysterious boss from the Endless Sea, the world's science and technology system "Hex Technocity". He had guessed that this guy had at least master-level engineering expertise!
I can take out the blueprint of the "Hex Three-Barrel Warhammer" casually, and now I can take a sixth-order magic core as a reward at will... You can make a lot of money by just flickering a few words!
Moreover, this guy actually broke into the legendary "Ghost Ship Island" and came back alive... Didn't he achieve his goal and get some ultimate secret or treasure of One Piece Diloth?
But... What is he doing now looking for himself?
Help, I don't have that ability.
Raymond also clearly felt the undead aura in the "Qi" on his body like maggots on the tarsal bones, and the feeling of the evil door made people feel numb in their backs when they felt it.
This level of injury is simply not something that can be solved by yourself.
Could it be... What is he trying to "prophesy" himself?
The wooden-footed man was stared at by that gaze, and he felt that he must have been treated as a "fat sheep" by a liar.
Hehe, these low-level sea god sticks, is it possible that they dare to rob it? Even if you only have half a life left, you can hammer a low-level transcendent like you out of!
Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes and said coldly: "I've already said it in detail enough, isn't Your Excellency going to help me divination?" ”
Raymond said with a strange expression: "No... My prophetic powers have told me that I have snared where the person you are looking for is! ”
"Huh."
The wooden-footed man sneered, he didn't think that these magic sticks were as magical as the kid at the beginning, and he had the ability to accurately predict the future casually
Obviously, this ill-intentioned guy in front of him is planning to fool himself casually, and he wants to hit the attention of this sixth-order demon core!
"Tell me... Where's the person I'm looking for? ”
The tone of his words was faintly unkind.
