"What do you think are the chances of the revolutionary army succeeding?"

"Ten percent!"

Raymond had no doubts about the capabilities of a revolutionary army. Even when the Black Sea was captured and killed by Chapman, the development of the Revolutionary Army lagged behind, and later these remote seas in the far west were also not covered by the torrent of the Revolutionary Army.

Whether in reality or in the game, the Saro regime is destined to be overthrown, and at most it is only a matter of time!

"Ten percent?"

Boggs didn't expect his tone to be so resolute.

If he didn't have this high-purity potion that had been successfully refined, he obviously wouldn't believe the shocking news that Raymond said. He couldn't believe that the Tianlan Kingdom, which was now rich and strong, would be subverted in a short period of time. What's more, the high-ranking nobles of his status have faintly access to some decisions of the upper echelons of Tianlan, how can he not know that the Salo regime still has the support of the World General Government!

Aldrich's mind was racing, and he probably figured it out, and asked, "You mean to say that the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce may become the next giant whale?" ”

This is a bit vague, and the meaning is to reconfirm whether the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce has the secret support of the revolutionary army.

It turned out that his disciple asked them to join Thunderbird, and there was this deep plan. If the Tianlan Dynasty is doomed, this is probably the best way to avoid risks.

"Yes! Moreover, the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce has masters in charge, and the rise is already unstoppable. ”

Raymond didn't elaborate, and said, "When the time comes, if the teacher becomes the worship of the Thunderbird, he can even create a new 'Potions Master Guild'!" ”

The line between the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce and the Revolutionary Army was naturally built by Raymond.

Originally, the elders of the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce, like everyone else in Tianlan's high society, were just an inconspicuous small organization for the "Revolutionary Army", and no one was willing to risk being wanted to make a deal with a group of unruly pirates.

But since Matthew said that he was on the same front as Raymond, he slowly began to get in touch with some insiders, and the fat man found out that the little shrimp-like revolutionary army in his impression was actually looking for a giant whale that could devour sharks. The superficial appearances it appears on the surface of the sea are only the tip of the iceberg!

"Good! The teacher can promise you! ”

Aldrich didn't think much of it at all, he chose to trust his disciple. And in his mind, whether the revolutionary army had the ability to overthrow the Salo regime or not, he didn't want to continue to stay in this filthy Potions Guild and change the environment.

Boggs frowned and didn't agree immediately, after all, he represented the Knox family. Once this decision is made, it is very likely to bring the whole family upside down.

After thinking about it, he still hesitated, and said to Raymond: "I'm sorry, my proposal, I still have to think about it for the time being." ”

"Well, I understand that."

Raymond didn't expect a high-ranking nobleman to put aside everything and make trouble with you with a few words of his own.

After a pause, he said another purpose for coming today: "Mr. Boggs, in fact, I came today not only to get your introduction to participate in the Genius Potions Masters Conference, but also to have a reluctant invitation. ”

"Oh?"

Boggs raised his eyebrows and smiled easily: "You don't have to be so polite, since you are a disciple of your Aldrich, and you are not an outsider, you can say anything directly." ”

Although he was sincere, he was also a little polite, but he didn't expect that Raymond would really say the purpose directly.

"I want the 'Golden Compass' that Mr. family heirloom!"

"What?"

When Boggs heard this, there was an expression of surprise in his eyes that was even more surprised than just now, and he quickly asked, "How do you know that my family inheritance has a 'Golden Compass'?" ”

"I once met a great prophet who told me that in order to find the Potions Secret Book to find the ten-star Potions Master 'Igris Seintia', you must first find the 'Golden Compass'! And the prophecy led me to find your family..."

Raymond didn't beat around the bush, and the background of this quest is clearly revealed in the game.

The Knox family in front of them is not only the oldest potions family in the Black Sea, but their ancestors are also the personal servants of Master Igris!

At that time, the ancestors of Boggs were fateful to send a batch of items of Master Igris to a certain sea, but unexpectedly, they encountered a super storm on the way, and the ship was lost in an unknown sea, and finally sank in the deep sea. The ancestors of the Knox family used a "golden compass" to locate the shipwreck. Then he was the only one who survived, and the lifeboat he was riding in drifted with the waves in the deserted and unknown sea for months... In the end, somehow drifted to the Black Sea...

Aldrich was also extremely surprised when he heard that it was actually related to Master Igris, the ten-star potions mentor. He pricked up his ears and asked, "Boggs, what is the 'Golden Compass'?" Why haven't I heard you mention it? ”

"It's just a positioning compass left by my ancestors."

Boggs shook his head, not seeming to pay much attention to the thing. He turned to Raymond curiously and asked, "Since you know the 'Golden Compass', do you also know where I got this compass?" ”

"Hmm."

Raymond nodded, succinctly, "It locates the coordinates of the shipwreck back then." ”

"You really know... But it might be going to disappoint you, because that thing is broken. ”

Boggs shrugged.

He didn't shy away from Raymond and the others, and directly opened the lockbox behind an oil painting on the wall of the laboratory in front of them, took out a golden golden compass, and said: "This thing has been guarded by our Knox family for nearly a thousand years, but unfortunately a part is missing, and the location of the wreck can no longer be located." ”

This is also the biggest reason why the ancestors of the Knox family stayed in the Black Sea and did not dare to return to the Endless Sea.

"I want to... The missing part is right in my hand. ”

Seeing the compass, Raymond's eyes were happy. Naturally, he knew that this compass was bad, because it still lacked the "Weaver's Jewel" in his hand!

He didn't hide it, he just took out the gem and set it in the center of the golden compass.

At that moment, a strange scene appeared!

The three of them looked at the golden compass as if it was a 3D projection, and a phantom of a strange sea appeared on the disk. The central gem also becomes a positioning pointer that points in a specific direction.

"This..."

Aldrich, the old man, looked at the gem with a strange expression, and always felt a little familiar. If you think about it, isn't this the gem that this kid won from Anthony at the exchange meeting at Phillip Academy?

Thinking of the origin of this thing, he squinted at Raymond again, and wondered, could it be that this kid knew the function of this gem at that time?

Thinking about it this way, this kid really has a lot of secrets.

Boggs looked at the complete golden compass and trembled slightly with excitement.

He looked at the sea scene where the compass came out, and said with a smile: "My Knox family has guarded the secret for nearly a thousand years... I didn't expect to see it restored one day when I was alive. Ay... This can be regarded as the fulfillment of the last wish of the ancestors. ”

In the game, Boggs has no intention of looking for a shipwreck, after all, a thousand years have passed, his family has taken root in the Black Sea, and they do not want to return to the Endless Sea.

After the nostalgia in his eyes gradually calmed down, he glanced at Raymond again, obviously guessing his intention, and asked, "You want this compass, are you planning to go to sea to find the remains of the shipwreck?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Boggs."

Raymond nodded and said, "I'll probably be on an adventurous voyage to the Endless Sea in a few months... Today's visit is actually to get a compass for your family's inheritance. I want to find the original 10-star Potions Master Igris's Potions Codex! ”

"You're leaving the Black Sea?"

Hearing this, Aldrich on the side was also surprised, and then said with emotion: "Yes... After all, the Black Sea is too small, and the Endless Sea is where a demon like you should go. ”

"Yes, teacher."

Raymond exhaled slowly, and said, "The world is so big, I want to go and see it." ”

"Well, you should go out and see the outside world, too."

Aldrich listened to this and nodded, and a gleam of relief flashed in his cloudy eyes.

Bogsmo took a look at the antiquities that had been passed down by the head of the family for thousands of years, and although there was reluctance in his eyes, he still handed the golden compass as he solved in the game's plot.

He said: "I don't expect to go to sea to look for shipwrecks, and my family is full of unsuccessful juniors." Since you have the ambition to find the shipwreck, this thing is up to you..."

"Thank you, Mr. Boggs."

The process went much smoother than expected, and Raymond took the compass and thanked him sincerely.

The loss of an ancestral artifact also made Boggs a little melancholy in his eyes, and he admonished: "According to the information left by my ancestors, the place where the shipwreck is a very treacherous sea area, you should also be careful..."

Raymond nodded: "Well, I'll be careful." ”

"That's right!"

At this moment, Aldrich suddenly thought of something, he slapped his thigh and said, "Boggs, didn't you say that your family still has a box that can't be opened?" You show it to Raymond, my disciple has a lot of ghost ideas, maybe he knows how to open it. ”

The little guy who used to be mischievous was learning art in the teacher's residence, and secretly teamed up with his senior brother to steal the family antiquities to play.

"Can't open the box?"

Raymond thought about it, except for the tasks related to the Golden Compass, the Knox family didn't seem to have anything too valuable.

"That's right!"

Hearing this, Boggs didn't delay, took out a dark copper-colored metal cylinder from the safe, and asked, "Look, can you open this thing?" ”

"Da Vinci Code Tube"?

Obviously, Raymond really knew what this thing was.

But when I saw it, my brows furrowed.

This is a very high-end alchemy code barrel in the game, a special item used by some ancient families in the Endless Sea to hold valuable scrolls.

This cylinder is essentially a wheel-shaped combination lock, which is generally used to store some important scrolls, such as potion recipes, magic scrolls, psychic contracts or something. The movable roulette wheel on it is engraved with hundreds of special symbols, and the cylinder can only be opened if you know the correct arrangement. Violent dismantling will directly trigger the self-destruct device, and the scroll in the cipher barrel will also be destroyed.

Boggs looked at Raymond's face and said in disappointment: "Sure enough... Don't you know how to open it..."

After a pause, he said: "This is something that was passed down by the ancestors together with the Golden Compass back then, and for so many years, the successive heads of my Knox family have tried countless ways to open it..."

"Thirteen-digit password... This is the best combination lock. If you try it one by one, you really won't be able to open it for several lifetimes. ”

In the game, the more digits the password has, the higher the level of the scrolls inside.

Thirteen-digit password... But it's the top type of combination lock.

Raymond glanced at it and sighed: "I know these symbols on this, what fish, what sea... It's all ancient writing from the Nix-era period. But this password doesn't know a specific combination, so it can't be opened at all. ”

After a pause, he added, "But I know a grandmaster of engineering, and he probably can find a way to try." ”

That engineering master was naturally Colin, and he could easily solve the four-digit combination lock of the explosion collar with a needle, and there should be a way to open this wheel lock.

"What?"

Boggs was immediately shocked when he heard that Raymond knew the ancient characters of Nyx, "Do you know the ancient characters on it?" ”

"Hmm..."

Raymond looked at it over and over again, nodded and said, "Probably... All know. ”

Hearing this, Boggs suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Our family has passed down an old ballad... Do you see if it's going to be a password? ”

He immediately recounted the ballad, saying, "When the firebird crashes into the earth, the boiling ocean will gather its brilliance again, and the goddess of the sea will descend on the earth..."

"I'll try."

Raymond caught a few keywords and found that there were really all on the wheel-shaped combination lock, "Firebird, Earth, Ocean, Radiance, Goddess..."

Click!

As soon as the last cipher byte spun to a specific position, the three people in the lab immediately heard a crisp sound. It was like the sound of an eggshell breaking, which made people hear hope.

Boggs muttered excitedly, "This is a curse that has plagued the family for thousands of years... It's really opened..."

It is conceivable that they know that there is a shocking secret hidden in it, but generations of family owners have stepped into the coffin and do not know what treasures are hidden inside.

Raymond didn't pull out the scroll, but handed the open combination lock back to the excited old man with the red beard. After all, it is the Knox family's thing, and he has been given a golden compass for free, so he can't be too greedy.

Boggs glanced at Raymond and nodded approvingly. He carefully took out the old animal skin scrolls in the iron bucket, and excitedly wanted to see what shocking secrets were hidden. But as soon as he saw it, he immediately handed it back to Raymond and said embarrassedly: "That... It seems to be recorded in the ancient Nick text again..."

Throughout Tianlan, he hadn't heard of anyone else being proficient in the ancient Nyx script. Even the [Great Polymath] of the Royal Academy could only guess the meaning of a small part of the ancient characters, which was definitely not up to the level of Raymond in front of him.

Thinking about it again, even if this big secret is really recorded, it is better to find an outsider to decipher it, it is better to find his own disciple.

At least the young man in front of him made him feel very reassured.

"Hmm... There's a scroll of animal skins written in common script..."

Raymond looked at it, there were six animal skin scrolls in total. All five are recorded in ancient Nix, and one is written in the lingua franca of the world. At a glance, the contents above are probably the origins of these animal skin scrolls of the Knox family.

It reads: "The host met with a guest of great honor... I overheard the name of the 'Great Twelve' Heidewin..."

When Raymond saw this, he was shocked: "One of the twelve sages, the 'Dragon Slayer Warrior' Heidwin? ”

According to the urine nature in the game, just based on these opening sentences, he can guess that the secret level recorded on these animal skin scrolls will be very high!

Seeing the next few words, he could clearly feel that his heart was beating rapidly because of excitement.

The following text: "Forgive me for my selfishness... The host went out to see off guests, and when I was tidying up the host's room, I happened to see a few potion recipes... I didn't know the old Nicks saying, so I could only copy the recipe from memory... It's a pity that I copied half of it, and the master returned..."

The few remaining Oxix scrolls were obviously the mysterious potion recipes!

"Could it be that these five recipes are the [Dragon Slaying Sequence] in the 'Twelve Demigod Sequences'?" Raymond thinks that he is going to make a lot of money today, this is the top potion sequence formula in the entire Great Voyage World.

He glanced at the complicated recipes recorded on the other five Hides Scrolls, and immediately determined that this was definitely a formula above the gold level!

It happens to be the five legendary-level potion recipes of Sequence 9-5, and if you look closely at the name of the formula, it is really the legendary [Dragon Slaying Sequence]!

After all, it was almost a thousand years ago, and Boggs didn't think the ancestors' peeking behavior was much bad. After reading the letter, he just sighed: "It turned out to be a potion formula..."

Raymond nodded and said, "This should be the legendary 'Twelve Demigod Sequence' potion recipe." ”

"Whew..."

Boggs obviously guessed that his chest was heaving violently with excitement, and he often exhaled a breath of air, and then said, "Legendary formula... I didn't expect to see this level of formula in my life. If I can refine one, I'll be blinded to death..."

Aldrich also looked interested, and the old man did not shy away from it, as if the formula was his own, and urged Raymond: "Raymond, you translate the formula, and let the old man also see how amazing the legendary-level formula is." ”

He rubbed his hands, his eyes shining, and muttered, "I want to see how mysterious the legendary potion recipe that can lead to demigods is..."
