CH.27 The Ring of the Madfish in the Sea Vortex
The coastline where Port Carlin is located is called White Sand Bay, which is famous for its beautiful sea of jewels, and as the name suggests, the sand here is white, soft to the touch and like a woman's plump skin. The water here is crystal clear, and if you catch the good weather, you can look out to the sea and the sky is like a blue sky.
Guided by One-Eye, Donk came to the beach northeast of Port Carlin, not to see the scenery, but to collect treasure.
One-Eye is already determined to assist Donk, and after learning that Donk is short of money, he offers to fund Donk. When he and the rest of the crew escaped from the Purgatory, he took some treasure with him and hid it on the beach.
For this windfall, of course, Donk is happy to laugh at it.
"Where are you hiding your money?" Donk asked with great interest as he carried a shovel.
"See that coconut tree?" One eye pointed to a coconut tree on the beach, which was easily recognizable because there was no other vegetation within five yards of it.
"Is it hidden under a tree?"
"Take that tree as a marker, take one step to the east, seven steps to the south, one step to the west, two steps to the north, three steps to the east, and one step to the south."
Donk was dizzy when he heard this, and said, "It's so complicated, you can remember it." β
"This is my life."
Tang Ke burst out laughing and said, "I used to use Shengyu as a password, so it's easy to remember." β
He felt that digging for treasure was interesting, so he volunteered, and according to the instructions of the one-eyed, he took one step to the east and one step to the west, and finally stopped in an open field.
"The treasure is buried in this place, about five yards deep, I'll dig it up." One-Eye snatched Donk's shovel and dug a shovel.
Donk snatched the shovel back, and said without hesitation: "That's not good, this is my first time digging for treasure, you are not allowed to rob it." β
"Then I will obey your orders, and you will do it yourself." One-Eye shrugged and took a step back.
Tang Ke dug in a hurry, not tired at all, as the sand pit deepened, his whole body sank, a ** of sand was thrown onto the shore, and the bottom gradually seeped out of the cold seawater. He rested for a while, and One-Eye tried to help him, but he refused.
He dug and dug and dug and had developed a habit of habitual movements, and even began to wonder if he had dug in the wrong direction, when the shovel poked into something hard and made a dull sound. In a fit of rage, he swept the shovel away from the wind and cleared the sand around the hard object, and a simple square wooden box appeared.
"One-eyed, dug up!"
Donk couldn't wait to lift the wooden box. He was slightly disappointed that there was no padlock on it, and that the chest was not metal. In fact, this box was temporarily buried by One-Eye, and there were no thorough security measures. Some pirates choose to keep their treasure on a lonely island or in a goblin bank.
The chest was full of gold coins and gestures, shining with gold, and illuminating Donk's face golden.
Donk grabbed a gold coin of the best color and blew a slogan of victory. He put the treasure in a sack and let the one-eyed hang it.
If these gold coins were given to a commoner, he would have fainted with happiness. However, when he looked at these gold coins, he looked as usual. For one he had seen the pirates of the world, and he had seen a hundred times more treasures than these; Second, these treasures reminded him of the bits and pieces he used to have on the Purgatory, which only added to the sadness.
Donk wanted to know the value of these treasures, and as soon as he had an idea, he used the investigation technique, but he did not expect the investigation technique to live up to expectations, and the simple results were displayed in his mind.
Total treasure value: 113,020 gold coins.
Donk gasped and was taken aback. He hurriedly asked, "This chest of treasure is worth 100,000 gold coins?" β
One-eyed poured cold water and said: "Captain, your concept of gold coins is also too bad, although we are pirates, we must also learn to value gold and silver jewelry, otherwise when we sell these things, we will be slaughtered by the annihilation merchants." β
Tang Ke was dissatisfied with these numbers, and snorted, "Are you saying that this box of treasure is not worth 100,000 gold coins? β
"Of course it's not worth it, according to my estimates, it's only around 1,300."
Donk was silent, could it be that the system went wrong? He still trusts the Pirate King system very much, and thinks there should be something strange in it, maybe the one eye has missed some valuables and mistaken the price.
He repeated his investigation several times, and the results were all the same. He took the treasure chest to a secluded tree, turned out all the items inside, and investigated them all separately except for the gold coins.
One-eyed didn't know why, but he didn't bother, but looked around, beware of being seen, and not exposing his wealth was a pirate's creed of life.
Rings, bracelets, necklaces, tiaras...... The same kind of jewelry was skipped in the hands of Donk, and the result of each one was: ordinary jewelry. In the end, only a steel ring remains, plain and unremarkable, with a cartouche carved on it and a simple pattern in the shape of a fish on either side.
Tang Ke secretly decided that if the jewelry was ordinary, he would inspect the gold coins one by one. He used the Investigative Technique on the Steel Ring, and a startling result came out.
Ring of the Vortex Mad Fish:
Level: Epic item.
Type: Character Equipment.
Description: In the long history of history, this small ring has shone brightly. In the year 1435 of the Golden Sea Calendar, in order to clear a shipping route, the Dragon's Tooth Kingdom slaughtered the Fish-Man Baibei tribe living there, and the Fish-Man tribe died tens of thousands.
The legendary dwarven craftsman Askar is overwhelmed and determined to help the White Beit tribe defend itself against the attack of the Dragon's Tooth Nation. He used the souls of the fish-people to create the "Ring of the Crazy Fish of the Sea Vortex". This ring has the power to summon schools of fish to create swirls. Askar used the ring to protect the remnants of the Baibei tribe from escaping, and later gave the ring to the Fish-People.
Sadly, the Fish-People coveted Askar's other treasures, and they took revenge and killed Askar. But the ruthless Fish-People didn't get Askar's treasure, because Askar used all the treasures on his body to smelt the ring, and he had nothing left.
Effect: Creates a huge whirlpool on 1,000 square meters of sea surface, and can control the direction of the whirlpool for 5 minutes.
How to use: Say the spell "Please help me from the creatures of the sea" to activate the ring's power.
Remaining uses: 4 (Each use consumes the power contained in the item until it finally becomes a normal item, and after multiple uses, there is not much power left in this ring)
Because the system determined that the ring already belonged to Donk, the information obtained was extremely complete.
Donk sprang up from the ground all of a sudden, staring at this inconspicuous ring with bright eyes, this turned out to be epic equipment! This was completely unexpected, he had been messing around for so long, and the big sword in his hand was just an ordinary item, but he didn't expect to get an epic-level item all of a sudden today, spanning several item levels, second only to the artifact.
When you look at the effect again, it actually creates a whirlpool on the surface of the sea! With such power, it is enough to destroy a ship directly!
No wonder the system determined that this pile of treasures was worth 100,000 gold coins, and with this epic ring, of course it could be sold at this price, and the actual price might be higher.
"What's wrong with you!?" One-eyed saw that Donk was strange, and asked closer.
Donk's expression was petrified, and he looked at the system introduction, the ring in his hand had a mysterious attraction, shining with a bright metallic luster, and the swirling carving seemed to be slowly turning.
He put on the ring and put it on the index finger of his right hand, and in order to hide the special surname of the ring, he brought two other ordinary rings on his hand.
"Are you alright?" One-Eye asked again.
Donk recovered as before, and said with a light smile: "It's okay, I just like these rings." β
One-eyed thought that Tang Ke was greedy for money like this, and he felt a little disdainful in his heart, and even a little disappointed, how could such a person do great things?
Tang Ke patted the sand on his body, shook his big hand and said, "Pack up all the gold coins and jewelry, let's go." β
One-eyed silently received the order, and put all the treasures in a bag and carried them on his shoulders. The two walked back side by side, five days from Port Carlin.
Tang Ke rubbed the ring as he walked, and he couldn't help but want to try the power of the ring, although the ring has a limit on the number of times it can be used, but if you don't figure out the specific situation, you will be in a hurry when it comes to actually using it.
It can be used four times, so why not one less?
"One-eyed."
"Huh?"
"I'll show you something fun."
"Fun stuff?"
Donk had never been one to look ahead, so he made a decision, turned to face the sea, clenched his right fist, and chanted a spell to the ring, so quiet that only he could hear it.
The sea was as calm as ever, and the one-eyed was unknown, and Tang Ke waited quietly.
Soon, Donk's heart was sensitive, he felt the life of the sea pulse, thousands of creatures wandering in the water, and his heart connected with their hearts, responding to each other. At this moment, they are willing to be mobilized by Donk. The fish became irritable and scurrying around, and they were ready to go, and the distant schools of fish swam fast in this direction.
He felt that if he didn't give the order, the fish would go crazy, and he used his mind to transmit his thoughts, telling the fish the surface of the sea he wanted to destroy.
Schools of fish swam to the surface of the sea, and soon a large group of them swam in regular groups to form a circle, and the force of this swimming stirred the water, formed a whirlpool, and intensified.
The sea roared violently!
A whirlpool formed, the water spun wildly, and the middle part sank in the shape of a funnel.
Tang Ke opened his palm and pointed at the sea from afar, as if he had the power of life and death on the sea, majestic and invincible.
"ThisβThis is!"
The one-eyed eyeballs were about to pop out, staring at the whirlpool of the sea. His heart was terrified, the strength that Tang Ke showed at this time was really terrifying, if he could create such a large whirlpool, even a fleet like a black toad would be vulnerable! A whirlpool can sink a large ship directly! It's a terrifying power, it's shocking.
"Captain, are you a magician?" One-Eye asked dumbfoundedly.
In this world, there are very few magicians, and they are supreme beings, with the reputation of being called demigods.
Donk didn't have time to answer, his mind was already closely tied to the fish, he carefully controlled the direction of the whirlpool, although the speed was much slower than that of a sailboat, but the hull would sink into it as soon as it touched the edge.
He has seen many wonders of the sea with one eye, and today he has seen it again.
Five minutes later, Donk was cut off from the fish, and a stir in his mind returned to normal.
He reminisced about the process of controlling the fish just now, and it was a wonderful feeling, and the powerful power was like a poisonous fruit, which made people feel like they were hungry, and they couldn't extricate themselves like poison.
One-Eye excitedly grabbed Donk's hand and asked endlessly.
Donk replied in a mysterious and mysterious way, "I'm not a magician, but just like you have a special eye, I have something special about me. He patted One-Eyed on the shoulder, "Believe me, this sea, sooner or later, will be my world." β
