Chapter 297: Seven Martial Seas "Thousand-Faced Demon"
It's a half-hour walk from the ghost castle to the hot spring castle.
Raymond walked all the way, always feeling that something was strange, and his mouth was also broken: "I'm so busy working for nothing?" How could I leave in a daze without asking for any benefits? This doesn't fit my personality at all..."
Raymond shook the leaf pendant in his hand and walked with a smile: "That's it... Anyway, regret is gone. After a busy day, he finally got the news of the 'Moon Stone', and Colin would probably be interested in hearing about it..."
Seriously, he wasn't completely without gains.
When parting, the elven prince named Eagle gave him a leaf pendant, saying that it was a positioning token, and when they got the "moon stone", they would send someone to find him.
At that time, he didn't think there was anything strange about this green crystal leaf pendant, he just felt that it was cool and cool to start, there was no magic surge, and it was probably not a piece of equipment.
Now he suddenly had a thought in his heart, and the ghost made a miracle to shake off an identification technique.
At this glance, there are still surprises.
It's not just a piece of equipment, it's legendary quality!
γElven Token (Legendary)γ
Luck +10
Explanation: The pendant made of the leaves of the tree of the god of life has a token of the blessing of the goddess of nature, which can bring good luck to people; An item that can be positioned in one direction;
"It's actually a rare piece of equipment with a lucky attribute?"
Raymond hung it around his neck, and when he looked at the properties panel, he was lucky for 15. He remembered correctly, the normal value of players in the game was between 1-5, and occasionally the emperor was 5-8. His own initial data seems to be a decent 3 (and 2 points that don't come out of nowhere).
Now that this equipment is worn, the luck attribute has tripled all of a sudden.
There was no increase in combat power, but this cool leaf pendant gave Raymond a kind of... It's a subtle difference.
Well... Probably the difference between a non-chief and a European emperor?
The "lucky" attribute is extremely difficult to increase, and this thing is still very mysterious, with the official explanation that it can affect a person's luck, all the time. It's not just about treasure hunting, touching corpses, buying lottery tickets... It also affects the chance of triggering the plot in the wild, the upper limit of attack damage, and the chance of damage evasion...
Some people say that this attribute is completely worthless, and others say that it is more precious than an "artifact".
The world of "The Great Voyage" is originally a world with a nautical adventure theme, and if you are lucky enough to bump into a high-level ruin, the value of this "luck" is immeasurable.
Anyway, those krypton players in the game who firmly believe in "Xuanneng to change their lives" like to collect all kinds of accessories to increase luck.
Raymond vaguely remembered the price, a lucky talisman with an increase of 1-5 points, the price fluctuated around 10,000 to 100,000 US dollars. However, I haven't heard of a Legendary accessory with Lucky +10 in the game.
This elven leaf, well... In terms of the occult, it is also a treasure.
Raymond didn't think much about it, the lucky attribute is hard to find, anyway, the more the merrier.
......
"My lord, the results of the investigation are in! The 120 bets on the 66th 'Demon' were all in the 120 betting spots in the city, mainly in the taverns and pubs. β
"Split betting? Hehe, it was really premeditated. β
"We carried out mental hypnosis on the bettors at the major stations, and we did not find any 'inner ghosts'. Through their hypnotic and deep memory screening, we identified ninety-one bettors. β
"Ninety-one people? How much? β
The fat subjective complexion looks a little better.
The more people involved, the easier it is to find a breakthrough.
"The preliminary investigation results have come out, and thirty-five of them are suspected to be sea pirates from other seas on the bounty list, and they cannot appear in the city; Twenty-one others were the most recent people in the city of Eleudnes. The twenty-one people, we checked, did most of them go to the tavern on the night of the bet, but there is enough evidence that they are not bettors... The rest of them haven't been found for a while, they may have fled, or they may be hiding somewhere we haven't investigated for the time being, and it will take a lot of time to investigate."
"So, is it a disguise bet? It's really thoughtful. β
"The investigation team also believes that there will not be many participants, and there is a high possibility of 'camouflage betting'."
β...β
Raymond's betting plan was perfect, and he thought of almost everything that could be traced. Therefore, it is almost impossible for the organizers of this gladiatorial fight to find clues through betting.
It's a pity that it's a lot of secrets.
The Snake is worthy of being the Snake of the Land, these guys have been operating in the city of Eleudnis for so many years, and the cat, mouse and snake path are clear. They wanted to investigate some information, maybe even more efficient than the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, the minion continued to report.
"The tech department suspects that those people may leave immediately after winning money, or they may choose to make revenge purchases. Therefore, we cooperated with the major commercial banks in the city to conduct screening. Excluding the normal transaction flow of those old customers, I found that there were several large transactions that were abnormal..."
"Oh?"
"After the prize pool of the last semi-finals, someone spent nearly six billion gold coins to buy high-precision scientific research equipment and materials in bulk... Generally speaking, those things are bought by large research institutes and shipyards. Even if it wasn't, it was probably some large family and pirate group. But apparently none of the customers are this time..."
"Have you found out who is coming?"
"Through photo comparison, we found that the two people who purchased the materials and equipment were a small pirate group that had made a disturbance in Agamande in the Grull Sea before, the 'Ghost Pirates'!"
"Little Pirates... Are you sure? β
"Sure!"
β...β
At this point, the results are already on the horizon.
A small pirate group must not have the financial strength to spend billions on equipment, and it just so happens that the timing is just after the prize redemption of that rematch, no matter how you think about it, it is suspicious.
Although the gladiatorial arena allows gamblers to win money through legitimate guessing, the loss of more than 20 billion gold coins is not a pain in the bones for their branch of the Eternal Night City.
Importantly, if it is not clear who leaked the "One Million Gold Bucks Betting Warning Value", there may be a next time for this loss.
"Did you send someone to investigate?"
"Mistress Murphy went personally."
"Mistress Murphy went? Then no problem..."
......
Raymond returns to the hot spring castle and sends a message to the crew, only to find that everyone is busy. Lulu, Colin and Panda are on the boat, Anna is wandering around the city, and Helen is in the slave market and the slave traders.
In the past few days, the last batch of captured pure Mao slaves have also arrived in the city of Eleudnes one after another. According to Raymond's plan, Helen, as a mysterious slave trader, paid a small deposit, and successfully let those slave traders gather the pure Mao slaves together, probably... In the last few days, she will pick the right time to start hijacking.
There was no one in the hot spring castle, and Raymond was happy to be idle, ready to start refining the Sequence 5 potion [Soul Godfather].
Although I went to the Castle of the Dead this time, I didn't see Puyos X, although it was a bit of a pity. But he was also sure that the mysterious and powerful necromancer had no "hostility" towards him, so he didn't think much about it. Of course, he also picked a few "gray mist heart eaters" in the garden.
Not long after,
Raymond had just selected the materials to prepare the potion when the door to the hot spring castle opened.
"Anna is back?"
He felt the familiar "Qi", and immediately knew who had entered the room, and he didn't stop his movements.
Anna apparently saw Raymond as well, and she greeted happily, "Raymond, are you back?" β
Today Anna is wearing a beautiful quicksand black dress with a backless bandeau with thin black lace. This is the special costume of the City of Eternal Night, "Light Tulle Dark Skirt", which is popular with the majority of women. This translucent long skirt can make a woman's sex appeal and hotness show off to the fullest, and it can also make that naked beauty not give people a sense of debauchery, but a hazy and subtle beauty.
"Yo, the dress is beautiful."
Raymond looked at the curly and walked over and praised it casually. Through the quicksand black dress, Anna's slender legs loom, and this half-concealed style gives people a different feeling of tugging at the heartstrings.
Anna raised her eyebrows, flirted with her skirt, revealing most of her beautiful legs, and said with charming eyes: "It's just that the skirt is beautiful?" β
"It's all good-looking."
Raymond smiled, didn't continue to talk, and continued to tinker with his potion materials.
He knew that he couldn't tease Anna.
"You're playing with potions again..."
Anna walked over, resting her elbows on the table and propping her head up, staring at Raymond with a serious face.
"yes, I just got the ingredients that will spoil quickly, so I plan to refine them as soon as possible."
Raymond nodded, but his hand didn't stop.
He didn't know why this young lady who was a fan of wealth suddenly became interested in potions today, and she actually took those dozens of potion materials and asked them one by one.
After chatting about trivial things for a long time,
She finally asked, "Raymond, the final of the tour is about to start, why don't we stop betting and make some money?" β
Sure enough, Miss Fortune is most concerned about money.
Raymond glanced at her and said, "You just made a lot of money, are you still not satisfied?" β
"No one is afraid of a lot of money..."
Anna blinked, smiled and asked, "How are you going to buy it this time?" Or is it a scatter bet? β
Raymond thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... We have won such a large amount of money before, which has probably aroused the alarm of the organizers, and it may be a little difficult to win the money in the old way. However, the betting on the final is directly handled by the headquarters of the tour, and if there is an opportunity, it will naturally make a wave. β
Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Anna's eyes.
She pondered for a moment, then asked, "My dear captain, you haven't told me what happened last time?" There are so many bets, but they haven't attracted the attention of the betting shop..."
Raymond didn't intend to hide it from his own people, and said: "Oh, each betting shop has a 'warning line' of one million gold coins, as long as the bet is lower than that number, it will not arouse the alarm of over-handicappers." However, now that we've made a fortune, this method probably doesn't work..."
Anna's beautiful eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "How do you know that kind of secret?" β
Raymond didn't know how Anna was so concerned about betting today, so he casually said, "The 'troubadour' told me..."
"I don't believe it..."
At this time, Anna's eyes flashed. She came closer, and asked in a coquettish tone, "Tell me?" Is there any inside information? β
On weekdays, Raymond threw out the excuse of the troubadour, and Anna usually wouldn't choose to continue to ask, but today she asked cutely, obviously breaking the casserole and intending to ask to the end.
If Raymond really had any "inside information" and the person who asked it was Anna, he would probably have already said it. But this is a memory brought by the time travel, and there is no way to explain it.
"That..."
Just when he was about to make a casual excuse to perfunctory her.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded.
γDing! You have been attacked by the spirit spell 'Arcane True' by 'Emmanuel Lynn Murphy', and due to your super high spirit resistance, you are exempt from this spell! γ
"it!"
The moment he was attacked by the spirit, Raymond's first reaction was that there was an enemy in the house! Instinctively, he put an arm around Anna's soft waist to protect her.
In the next moment, Raymond was puzzled in his heart.
It can be seen that in the domineering perception of Wen Se, it is obvious that there is no one else in this hot spring castle except for himself and Anna!
And, when he could see the name of the enemy prompted by the system, he immediately guessed a possibility.
Anna was suddenly held in Raymond's arms, like a fawn, and wondered: "Raymond, what's wrong with you?" β
She apparently didn't think her spell would be discovered by a Sequence 5 rookie.
β...β
Raymond didn't speak, and quietly threw a "True Eye" to Anna in his arms.
However... A strange scene that makes people's scalps tingle has appeared!
At this moment, Anna's head is not her name, but a guy named "Emmanuel Lynn Murphy".
What the hell?
This face... Not Anna?
......
Someone else may be very unfamiliar with this name...
But Raymond, an old bird, is like thunder, and in connection with the strange scene in front of him and the attack prompt just now, he has already determined that this name is the character with a great background!
One of the world's "Seven Martial Seas", [Imitation of Fruit Ability], the blood of the Three-Eyed Clan, and the "Thousand-Faced Demon" Murphy!
