Chapter 418: The Sea of Mirrors
As the No. 1 print media in the Endless Sea, Le Monde's influence can be imagined.
Even if it's the sub-board headline after the anti-motherboard, it's an astronomical amount of super reading.
That's not a sub-board message from the local sea, but a world version! It also means that as long as the human beings in the countless sea areas covered by "Le Monde" can see the portrait of him through the newspaper.
In the past, Raymond could exploit a loophole in information asymmetry, hoping that the navies and bounty hunters in other seas would not know his face, and there would be a lot less trouble.
Well, wherever you go, it's at least like a star-level treatment at the level of "Your Majesty's Seven Martial Seas", to the point where you know your full name.
Raymond had a black question mark on his face, looked at his reward order carefully, and his eyelids jumped: "Is the world government planning to kill labor and capital?" ”
Look at the crime, hehe, all the black material is gone.
the culprit who killed the "Seven Warrior Seas" Emmanuel Lynn Murphy; the gangsters who murdered the two great gentlemen of the Davide family, Robert Davide and Ivan Davide; One of the main participants in the "Land of Giants" riots, killing the navy...
The various charges were so dense that Raymond almost felt that he was a vicious and murderous pirate.
Looking at the bounty amount again, it is as high as 799 million, which is three times more than the previous 211 million!
It is estimated that he has broken the record of the "Pirate Supernova" with the fastest surge in the amount of the naval bounty.
This is already the treatment of some of the world's top veteran sea pirates, and with this bounty amount, he is really the kind of vicious big man who is at least sequence 1 and sequence 0.
What does this bounty mean?
Famous?
Ray never wanted to be famous in this way.
This bounty means... There is no strength to match, the higher the bounty, the higher the degree of death!
Once Raymond's whereabouts are exposed, the navy will send someone to chase him, and the response will be very high, at least all of them will start with general-level officers. On the Bounty Hunter Guild's side, even if the person who took the task was not the "Top Ten Legendary Hunters" at the level of the Seven Martial Seas, it wouldn't be far behind...
But he's only in Sequence 4 now...
Although the overall strength of the "Ghost Regiment" is not weak now, it can't withstand the wantedness of this world-class sea thief, and it is also wanted by the first officer on the second page of the World Newspaper!
I didn't plan to get involved in such a large-scale war, but I didn't expect it to cause so many surprises.
Raymond thought that it was a boring passerby interview before, at most on the local sea page, and the sassy words he said could be counted as worthy of her if he could excerpt two sentences.
But I don't want to, the world version of the sub-board headline printed his own avatar, and the whole conversation was reported!
I knew... The sassy talk that was interviewed by a seagull reporter should be official, who knows... As soon as you say it, you get it right. Uli also cooperated with God and said "giants will never be slaves"...
Moreover, not only Raymond, but now all the members of the "Ghost Regiment" have been rewarded.
Anna has risen directly from 20 million to 215 million, and the matter of the Devil Fruit Ability of the Water System Natural System has also been exposed.
Lulu has gone from more than 300 million to 400 million. However, his bounty notice SS level was revoked, and the Navy also specifically marked the need for live?
Colin's bounty went from 150 million to 233 million;
Nicole: 80 million;
fat cats: 50 million;
Thor's identity as the prince of the Giant Clan was also revealed, and then because of Uli, he was offered a bounty of 513 million, becoming an S-class wanted criminal with the second bounty of the "Ghost Regiment".
As for a certain fierce monkey, he was also offered a reward of 8 million because he was witnessed killing the navy in the city of Gafatlon.
Now that the work is complete, all the members of the "Ghost Regiment" have become wanted criminals.
"Hey... On the world's wanted warrant, the next time I want to go to a place with a lot of people, I have to travel in disguise..."
Raymond sighed slightly, which naturally meant what it meant to be "in the newspaper". In the game, this is what many heroes dream of... I did it so easily.
Anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and no amount of entanglement can change anything.
His heart was agitated for a moment, and then he calmed down.
Turning his face, Raymond carefully looked at the page of the newspaper with his portrait printed on it, held his chin and muttered, "But then again, this seagull reporter's photographic skills are really not bad, much better than the sign on the Navy's wanted notice... Heroic and handsome..."
"Phew~ Yours beautiful!"
Hearing this, Anna's beautiful eyes were full of spring, and she gave him an angry look.
Raymond laughed, turned his face and looked at the other pages: "But then again, the recent naval battle is also very lively..."
......
In the newspaper, there was another piece of news that instantly attracted the attention of Raymond and the others.
In addition to denouncing these vicious pirates, the most important role of mainstream media such as Le Monde is to promote the bravery and courage of the navy.
The next few newspapers devoted a lot of space to the naval officers who died in the "Battle of the Land of Giants".
For example, the general of the headquarters [Sword Emperor] Ibn is carefully described in the newspaper how he is heroic, in order to protect the great "Twelve Sages" Mr. Suk Batel, fearlessly killing the enemy, spilling blood on the battlefield...
For example, the [Wind and Fire Sword Saint] Carbence who was killed by Loren, how fearless, was ambushed by the "rebels" in the action of blocking the mob of the Giant Clan, and died heroically...
In general, what Le Monde wants to convey to the world is: [Blood Emperor] Capone united the Giants to rebel, and then the World Government on behalf of justice was forced to go to war. Although the losses were heavy, they were all heroic and fearless "heroes", because they fought for "justice"!
Raymond knows all about the war in Gafatlon's city, and he doesn't need to watch these pompous "deep processing" news.
In addition to the bounty news of their "ghost group", he was more concerned about what happened in the naval battle later.
"Erin has finally become a general..."
Raymond looked at a newspaper the day before yesterday with a somewhat complicated expression.
The headline of the motherboard is printed with Erin's pretty face.
In the photo, she is dressed in a military uniform, wearing a righteous cloak, two golden stars on her shoulders are shining, and her whole body exudes a murderous indifferent temperament.
The text message states that she was awarded the rank of Admiral (regular Admiral) by the Admiral for her heroic performance in naval battles.
"Erin can fight the Capone boss now? I'm rubbing, how good is she now? ”
Raymond looked at the news in the newspaper, and his melancholy suddenly turned to solemnity.
Capone's strength is now the world's top first-class, and being able to face him up to him means that Erin's current strength has the strength of the three major generals in the headquarters?
"Probably Capone released the water..."
Thinking of this, Raymond shook his head slightly.
Capone's kind of realm, even if there is an opportunity, is definitely impossible to achieve easily.
In terms of seniority, Erin is also a direct descendant of Capone. After the World Mansion was "brainwashed", she did not hesitate to take action against her ancestors.
"The next time I meet it, I definitely won't be in harmony with him... However, looking at her advanced speed, I'm afraid I can't beat it! ”
Thinking of this, a wry smile overflowed at the corner of Raymond's mouth.
He himself is hanging on and improving, and the realm breakthrough can be called a "demon".
But compared to Erin, it's really not enough to see.
Now she has to try her luck to kill a Sequence 2 transcendent, and now she can directly fight the top transcendent.
Irene's affairs are not in a hurry for a while, and the matter of cultivation has to be done step by step.
Raymond didn't bother too much, and continued to look through the content of other pages, and while reading, he was thinking in his heart: "It's no wonder why Carpen and Enzo say that they can actually understand Le Monde, and they will feel that this newspaper contains a lot of useful information." ”
At one time, Raymond thought that Le Monde was all processed junk news.
But now I found out that it was not.
This newspaper really conveys a lot of really useful information.
If you read this kind of official newspaper and learn to "see the essence through the phenomenon", you will find really useful content.
is like Irene's exploits written in this short message:
1. In the "Battle of the Land of Giants", 1,361 people of the "Wolf Eel Pirates" fleet were killed, and 15 warships were sunk...
2. Admiral Erin led the fleet to pursue the 'Blood Emperor Pirates' at sea and fought head-on, with great achievements... And personally resisted the [Blood Emperor] Capone, fought for 300 rounds, and covered the safe evacuation of the navy ambushed by the murderers...
The above paragraph is very official, and in fact, the second thing described should be like this: a certain fleet of the Navy was beaten by the [Blood Emperor] fleet, Erin did not be wiped out by the group, and the remaining navy fled in a hurry...
......
In just a few days, the news of the "Battle of the Land of Giants" spread throughout the Endless Sea through newspapers.
Even those human seas in remote areas have heard some news more or less.
And when Raymond and the others sailed to the "Sky City", in the Black Sea in the far west, some high-level figures also obtained this newspaper through the channels of the revolutionary army.
Tianlan Royal Capital.
Grand Duke Philip...
Oh no, now I should say His Majesty King Philip.
This Duke of Philip Collar back then is now the king of the Tianlan Kingdom.
This former "No. 1 master of the Black Sea" has long lost the sharpness of the past. He is now a well-loved New Deal king, kind, wise, and eloquent.
Today, the chief of the palace brought him the latest edition of Le Monde.
Philip flipped through the newspaper in his hand, saw the wanted notice with Raymond's portrait, and then saw Erin's newspaper, and his eyes showed a complicated reminiscence.
He put on his monocle and carefully read the contents of the newspaper. After pondering for a long time, this figure who can be called a hero of the Black Sea suddenly had a kind of heroic twilight emotion in his heart: "Hey... Sure enough, as the ancestor said, that kid broke into the Endless Sea to make a name for himself..."
......
The Black Sea Potions Guild.
It is still bustling and lively, and the political changes in the Black Sea have not affected the existence of this neutral union in the slightest.
Aldrich, a five-star potions master, was destroyed by Philip that year, and he completely let himself go. His level of alchemy has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now he has become the first and only six-star potions master in the Black Sea.
When he got the newspaper, he was tinkering with his brother Boggs.
As soon as the old man saw Raymond's wanted warrant, he suddenly burst into laughter like a drunken maniac.
He excitedly looked at the senior brother on the side, like a child showing off candy, and said, "Hahaha, Boggs, look! This is my disciple, Raymond! He's in the newspaper! Le Monde, this is a newspaper that can be seen all over the world..."
"Raymond, that boy? I haven't seen him for a few years, I didn't expect him to become so powerful..."
Boggs glanced at the newspaper with shock in his eyes.
At the beginning, he watched that kid walk out of the Black Sea, but he didn't expect that in a few years, he would have become the world's top pirate...
In fact, for people in remote waters such as the Black Sea, Le Monde is not of great value, and watching those distant news is more like looking at clouds in the distant sky.
can see acquaintances in the newspaper, and their hearts are even more delicious.
"Raymond... My disciple..."
Aldrich held the newspaper in his hand, and you held the treasure.
After being excited, the gray-haired old man suddenly moistened the corners of his eyes, and muttered, "I have known for a long time that this kid will not stop... Let's keep an eye on the newspapers when we leave. It's okay now, and all of a sudden you can figure out what a big move... I don't know if he's in danger..."
......
Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce.
After the fall of the Salo regime, the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce, which was once the "No. 1 Chamber of Commerce on the Black Sea", declined. The Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce took its place, and it was bigger and more popular than the previous giant whales.
Now the president of the Thunderbird Chamber of Commerce is Matthew.
The young fat man with a green grassland on his head has now become a successful businessman with a big belly, and the women around him have changed one after another.
"Brother Raymond... You're already so good. I knew you were going to be a blockbuster..."
Matthew looked at the news in the newspaper, his fat face full of emotion and joy.
He flipped through the news that his sister had become the "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty", and he didn't know why his brows were tightly locked, "Hey... Ilya, I hope she'll be safe, too..."
......
Royal Capital Kendo Hall.
"Extreme Dao One Knife Stream" is flourishing again in the Black Sea.
After Raymond, who was originally known as the peak descendant of Sodros's "Extreme Dao Stream", left the Black Sea, another female swordsman of the Extreme Dao Stream was born.
She challenged the Tianlan kendo celebrity with a fast sword in one hand, without any defeat, and was a blockbuster, and everyone was known as "the first sword sect in the Black Sea".
Later, this female swordsman named Judy Nelson opened a kendo hall in the Tianlan King Capital as the fourth generation of the "Jidaoliu".
Her beauty and swordsmanship have become the "double unique" of the royal capital, and countless young masters and sons of high-ranking nobles have come to visit.
It is said to be a sword, but it is more of a love. But most of these suitors are closed. Those who wanted to seek love with swords were all defeated, hiding their faces and leaving embarrassed, not daring to mention it again.
Judy practiced her sword behind closed doors, without distractions... Legend has it that she has faintly broken through the mysterious "Sword Hero Realm", and there are signs of becoming the first female sword hero in the Black Sea for thousands of years!
On this day, the indifferent female Sword Sect, who only had a sword in her heart, looked through the small courtyard of the kendo hall and had just brought a newspaper from afar in her hand.
The eyes of the ancient well did not wave, and there were ripples.
She looked at the familiar photos in the newspaper, and her memories were like springs, Raymond, Irene, Anna... All of them were once her familiar relatives and friends.
She rubbed the photo of Raymond in a dress, and the familiar face in her memory was still small and bright. She muttered unconsciously: "He's become so powerful, I'm still far away..."
I don't know what I thought, the eyes of this beautiful sword sect suddenly became cold, she rubbed the long sword at her waist, and a shocking sword intent suddenly surged all over her body.
The apprentices of the kendo hall were all shocked when they saw this scene.
"Everyone, come on! Curator Grown... Break through the Sword Hero Realm! ”
......
"Golden Ghost" has been at sea for half a month.
The shadow of the Heavenly Tree is long gone, and with the guidance of the [Endless Pointer], Raymond and the others will not lose their way in this sea where there is no reference at all.
Raymond has been obsessed with cultivation recently, and the higher the transcendent rank, the more imperceptible the passage of time in his cultivation becomes. Whether it's "Mystery Solution: Enma", "Demon Ape Qigong", "Spiritual Mind"... The more advanced you are, if you want to make a little progress, you have to spend a lot of world.
Finally, the fat cat's voice broke the peaceful sailing time.
"Captain, come and see, our ship... Fly! ”
In recent days, there have been fewer and fewer fish in the sea, and the sea kings have become extinct, and there is no trace of them.
The drowsy panda that had been caught fishing was awakened by a fish that suddenly ate the bait.
The little fish he caught didn't surprise him, he was amazed... The sea and the sky are exactly the same!
Rubbing his eyes, once again making sure that it was not his hallucination, the fat cat shouted at the top of his throat again, "Come out, everyone!" We seem to have arrived at the place! ”
The people on board were attracted by this voice and stepped onto the deck.
Anna looked at the sea in front of her as if it were a mirror, and said excitedly, "The legend is true!" We've found the 'Sea of Mirrors'! ”
Raymond was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and exclaimed, "There are still such magical seas in the world... It's exactly like the sky! ”
If it weren't for the microwave ripples caused by the ship's sailing, even the sea would be exactly the same.
The blue sky, the white clouds flutter lightly...
In the crystal clear water, the fish seem to be wandering in the sky, like shuttling in the white clouds...
The Golden Ghost sailed on this sea area and became the only reference.
Here, vision has lost its role, and in the eyes of everyone, there are only blue skies and white clouds...
The sea surface is like a mirror, and the sky and water are one.
