No one knows how big the city of Eryudnis, the "City of Eternal Night", is, but there is a huge space in the belly of this paleontological fossil, and the houses made of black stone and metal skeletons are lined up one after another, this is the city of order in the dark. The buildings stretch from the docks to the depths of the mountain, and beyond the city, it is said that deep in the deep crypts there are some dark elves and sea beasts who love darkness.

Everything in the city is almost identical to the one in the game, and the resident NPCs are almost all familiar faces.

All of this is familiar to Raymond.

He knows... Joseph, the bearded keeper of the docks, will trigger a "Find the Adulterer" quest, the task reward is a rare treasure map, the sheriff Josia patrolling the streets, the thief pro player can steal a key to the city defense arsenal, can get a few pieces of silver equipment, the homeless man on the street corner is a hidden exorcist professional mentor, here you can turn into a hidden profession "exorcist", and the two eighth-order skeleton vultures outside the gate of the lord's castle are alive....

These tasks, which used to pay well for gamers, are now a bit unattractive to Raymond.

Before he knew it, he already had far more power and wealth than in the original game.

But after getting off the boat, Raymond looked at the noisy street in front of him, which looked like a vegetable market, and the number of people surging was still much more than he expected.

The popularity is much higher than the impression of the game.

There is no distinction between commoners and nobles in the City of Eternal Night, everything depends on money.

Outsiders who have money can rent a hot spring castle, and those who don't have money can only make do in cheap taverns or on boats.

In the past two years, a huge number of migrants have poured in, resulting in a large shortage of temporary housing.

Originally, he wanted to rent an ordinary castle with 350,000 quarks a night, but he didn't want to have no choice at all, so he could only rent a high-end castle of 500,000 for one night.

Finally, when I asked about the reason for the shortage of accommodation, I realized that in addition to the fact that the final venue of the "39th World Tour Gladiatorial Championship" was chosen here, a large number of spectators and participants poured in.

The most important reason is the news of the "One Piece Treasure" that came out of Capone!

This is the place where the One Piece Dilos was Yang Fan, and many newcomer pirates came here, in addition to treasure hunting, it was also like some kind of ritual.

The ultimate goal of almost all pirates is to become the "King of the Pirates", which is the most suitable place to set sail in the hearts of newcomers to pirates.

......

"Profiteers... Prices have doubled. ”

Raymond paid the money and completed the check-in procedures, but cursed in his heart.

But thinking about the plan to get rich, he felt that 500,000 a night didn't seem too expensive. At least the single-family magic castle on the mountainside, protected by the magic tower of the city lord Puyos's family, can better ensure privacy and security.

After the chores were done, everyone prepared to separate and walk around the city.

Lulu and Colin went to major trading houses to inquire about the scientific research materials, and if they could buy them, they would buy some cheap ones, and if they couldn't afford them, they would get over them first, and write them in the budget book. As they left, they all glanced at Raymond expectantly.

The pitiful eyes of the two of them meant obviously: "Captain, I am counting on you to win money to buy materials..."

Raymond waved his hand: "Go, go, go... I'll take care of the money. ”

The city of eternal night is safe, and although there are often drunken pirates making trouble, most of them are captured by the skeleton guards and taken to the city prison to be sobered up by necromancy. At least there won't be a situation like the last time Agamandel was blackmailed by a group of pirates. What's more, with Colin with him this time, Raymond is also relieved to let the two scientific research dead houses wander the streets.

Anna and Helen, who are wearing masks, plan to visit the clothing stores first, and then visit the major slave stores to familiarize themselves with the "crime scene" where the slave robbery is about to take place.

The beautiful navigator's eyes were also full of anticipation as she left, "Captain, you have to bet well to win." That's the last thing you have to be a beautiful navigator..."

"Got it..."

Raymond shrugged.

This kind of city in the eternal night is a favorite dark environment for vampires, and Enzo says that he is going to have some fun, and after agreeing with Raymond to participate in the competition, he runs out into the city by himself.

In the blink of an eye, Raymond became alone again.

He recalled the layout of the city, found a way, and took the first step towards his plan to get rich.

First of all, he has to find the right betting shop.

......

The "City of Eternal Night" Eleudnis is a city that takes the dark punk style to the extreme.

Elsewhere, the Adventurer's Tavern is at its busiest late at night.

But here, it is a city that has been given eternal night, and it is full of carnival all the time.

Eludnis is a city of pleasure, and the sound and color places in the city occupy several large blocks, gambling stalls, taverns, wind and moon flower fields...

At the foot of the castle of the Poyos family, there is a complex of stained steel buildings, where the taverns gather.

The dark streets of Black Stone, with neon lights reflecting a flourishing extravagance. The luxury here is never the time to turn off the lights.

In taverns, large and small, countless pirates are drunk and dying. There is no distinction between day and night, only constant revelry, grizzled dark music, cheap wine and restless hormones...

The city of Eludnis is a gathering place for pirates from the Western Sea, and there is never a shortage of war slaves, so the taverns here also have the most colorful girls in the entire Western Sea.

As long as you're willing to spend money, the Drapers can help you find any real good. All kinds of noble status, such as various levels of high nobles, princesses of the dead country, rich merchant girls, pirates, female chiefs... All races, merfolk, blood, half-elves, werewolves, pure hair, snaketails, gnomes, and even skinny undead...

As long as you have an idea, they can provide the right girl.

Raymond stepped alone on the familiar streets of Black Stone, and the familiar scenes in his memory flooded into his mind again. It's a strange feeling that familiar NPCs have become real human beings. It's like a dream, and I can't tell whether it's a dream or a reality.

Because of the recent influx of outsiders, almost all the pubs here are full, and the crowds are overwhelming.

Along the way, the lights are bright, and the bewitching girls scratch their heads at the door of the tavern...

The streets are filled with the smell of pungent alcohol, tobacco and seductive powder.

A half-blood giant more than five meters tall is diligently handing out leaflets at the door of the tavern, condescending and eye-catching.

At this moment, the giant's big hands directly handed a leaflet printed with an attractive program schedule in front of Raymond's eyes, and said enthusiastically: "Hey~ This captain, do you want to have a few drinks?" We just have a batch of Senaguo chicks in our store, and we promise to satisfy you..."

"Captain?"

Hearing this, Raymond touched his one-eyed blindfold, and a strange look appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He listened to Anna's advice and changed into a British pirate-style captain.

She said that if she always has one eye closed, others may be more curious and wary, and the "Gore Gong God Eye" is more likely to attract curiosity and prying eyes. But if you wear a one-eyed pirate blindfold, it's not so obtrusive. Although this costume looks a little vulgar, it is very much in line with the "temperament" of his dignified ghost pirate captain.

Apparently, Raymond believed her nonsense.

He had just picked up the flyer, and it just so happened that a drunkard with a bottle and pigtails was kicked out by the bartender of the tavern.

The red-faced drunk had apparently drunk a lot, staggering and unsteady on his feet.

He poured wine into his mouth and cursed incoherently, "I'm dignified... Captain Jack, I used to be the captain of the Black Pearl, and you didn't let me drink? Hiccup~ Wait for me... If you find the treasure and come back, you will definitely make up for the wine money..."

The bartender had obviously listened many times, and was a little impatient: "Rednose Jack, you already owe a lot of money for alcohol, please change the place and take credit to the bar..."

“...”

Looking at this drunken man, Raymond looked down at his outfit that was seven or eight points similar to him, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Anna's words are not wrong, although this dress is vulgar, it is much more "inconspicuous" than the previous swordsman's outfit.

"Huh... When I go back, I'll have to ask Anna to prepare me some good-looking ones. ”

Raymond shook his head, glanced up at the red and green flashing neon signs, and stepped into the pirate tavern called the "Giant Tavern".

It just so happened that he was quite familiar with this tavern, and the owner was a well-informed local snake.

In the poster at the entrance of the tavern, you can see all kinds of pirates with bounties, and even those who have more than 100 million pirates patronize the tavern, and their bounty orders will be posted at the door by the tavern as a signboard...

Raymond glanced at the bounty list from top to bottom, and saw many famous sea thieves from the games in his previous life.

This city of Eleudnes has been really lively recently, and many masters have come.

The music clattered, and he walked into the tavern, and the pirate captain outfit was instantly less of an eyesore.

In these taverns in front of me, ten drunks who boasted that they were the captain of such and such a big ship, and eight of them were dressed up in this musket and sword + pirate hat. Of course, there are not a few wooden feet and golden hooks.

And that's... The popular aesthetic of the pirate camp.

......

Raymond shouted a glass of wine and waited boredly for Enzo to summon him and get the entry number before he could place a bet.

No matter where you are, the Pirate Tavern is the most well-informed place.

"Have you heard, the [Three-Headed Hellhound Fruit] is still found in our Groul Sea? Eh, why don't I have such good luck..."

"Of course I've heard about such a big deal! Boris Sain's guy took a shit luck and went to catch a group of pure-haired slaves, and also picked up a Devil Fruit by the way, and sold it to the Hydra Chamber of Commerce, making a lot of money. ”

"Anyway... That kind of super powerful mythical beast fruit, why doesn't that guy Sain eat it himself? I remember that he had been trapped in Sequence 2 for many years, and if he ate that fruit, he would definitely be able to break through Sequence 1. At that time, he will not only be a sea thief in the Grull Sea, but a legend in the entire Endless Sea. ”

"Eat? What's so delicious about that kind of big man's legacy? Whoever dares to eat it will be chased to the ends of the earth by a large number of masters! Only by selling it for money is a smart choice. ”

"That's right, I heard that the [Elephant Emperor] is a ruthless person who will be revenge..."

"Huh... That's not right! Isn't that beast mythical fruit the ability of the [Elephant Emperor] to sit down with the captain of the third time, Lord Heber, why did it suddenly become a prize in the gladiatorial competition? ”

"You haven't heard of it?"

"What did you hear?"

"It's all in trouble! A large number of mysterious masters appeared in the sea area of the pure Mao clan, and the [Elephant Emperor] sat down with three captains to hunt down and kill the former Seven Martial Seas Helen Furreya, and even the three top captains of extraordinary strength were killed, and the corpse is still hanging on a certain reef in the main channel into the sea area of the pure Mao tribe to show the public! ”

'Huh?' The Captain of the Endless Eight Emperors' seats are all legendary sea thieves whose combat power is not weaker than that of the 'Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty', how could it be... Annihilation? Or a superfleet of three captains? ”

"That's why I said, Sain's shit luck. I don't know where so many masters have emerged from the pure Mao clan, and the pirates who poured in from all over the country to catch slaves not long ago, except for the 'Black Wolf Pirates', almost none of them have escaped completely! ”

"Yes, not long ago, someone went to see it, on the reef of the pure Mao clan, in addition to the three captains of the [Elephant Emperor], there are more and more more more than 100 million pirates, scattered dozens of them..."

"Ouch, I also said that there are more pure Mao slaves in the slave market recently, and the price has risen instead of falling. The three captains of the [Elephant Emperor] are probably no one who dares to catch slaves. ”

“...”

In the tavern, the most discussed topics among pirates and adventurers were naturally the great changes that had occurred in the territory of the pure Mao clan and the recent news of the "39th World Tour Gladiatorial Tournament".

Raymond sipped a glass of wine at the tavern bar, listening to the group of pirates chatting and fart, and learning about the latest movements in the city.

"Tsk, yesterday there was a pirate with more than 100 million who easily won five games in a row and received more than 10 billion bonuses, and finally was taken by a certain pirate and became the captain of the team."

"The day before yesterday, there was a shit-lucky war slave who was thrown into the race by Plante the Redbeard of the 'Fur Seals', and he really won a lot of money for Plante. A Sequence 4 guy can win five in a row, and I want to try it..."

"Haha, don't be delusional! A few days ago, there was a Sequence 2 peak, and the sea thieves with a reward of more than 300 million also wanted to steal chickens. He thought that he would be sure to participate in the group stage, but he didn't expect to be unlucky to meet a master, and he didn't earn the prize money, and he lost his life in the first round..."

“...”

"I heard that the champion of the previous 37 Tour, 'Beo Tornado', is also here and is ready to participate in the finals. This final is definitely exciting, I have bought all the tickets, I must go and see it! ”

"I've heard that there's more than one legendary 'Beo Tornado'!" The Hydra Chamber of Commerce's slave gladiatorial group has been out of the top three in several tour tournaments, and this time I heard that there are several for the finals, what is the thirty-six world champion [Poison King] Kelly, and the thirty-fifth runner-up [Lava Giant] Bader..."

"Huh? Is there anything different about this tournament, and why are there so many legends in the arena this time? ”

"Hey... Tell you a top-secret message. Did you see the Poseidon battleship on the docks? This time, there is a big man who has a top identity! I heard that there was a 'god-level' prize provided by the honorable lord in this final, and those bigwigs signed up one after another..."

"What the hell is the prize?"

"I heard... It's the 'Fruit of the Sea' of One Piece Dilos! ”

“...”
