Chapter Ninety-Five: The Story of Howard and Carter

Chen Ye thought for a full 1 minute, and finally clicked "Yes", Surut is very strong, but more often it is just used as a shield, Chen Ye has the "Mana Shield" skill, the demand for Surut is actually not so big, not to mention that Chen Ye still has 2 golden quality flesh and blood essence in his hand now, as long as there is a suitable target, Chen Ye can still give birth to a new "bloody beast" at any time, of course, before choosing "yes", Chen Ye did not forget to replace the "Steam Mechanical Exoskeleton Armor (Larger)".

Howard's soul fluttered into Surut's body, Chen Ye immediately felt that a certain piece of his spirit was divided, which made his head tingle, and after a while, Chen Ye eased up, and found that Surut had completely changed, with the entry of Howard's soul, his bloody pupils became bright and human, originally the appearance of a pig monster, and it was more inclined to the human face, but the thick body and the big belly that came out did not subside for a while.

[Side quest 3 (hidden) and subsequent completions, 150% completion, 20 mission points, an additional 50 mission points, please select the following options to consume points to get the corresponding rewards]

【A. Howard's Treasure (20 points)】

【B. Howard's Special Guidance (30 points)】

【C.Empress Siren's Blood Essence (50 points)】

[D. The skull of an unknown sea monster (60 points)]

[E. True attribute points 3 points (70 points)]

When Chen Ye saw option C, he almost chose it directly, because the "Blood Essence of the Siren Empress" showed golden quality, a golden quality bloodline, enough for Chen Ye to use for a long time, you must know that after leaving this reincarnation world, the special attribute of "Ancient Lin Bo Emperor's Hair" that ignores "blood suppression" will disappear, and in the next world, if Chen Ye wants to face monsters above golden quality, he will also be subjected to a very disgusting "blood suppression".

But seeing the latter two options, Chen Ye hesitated, "Unknown Sea Monster's Skull" Chen Ye didn't know what it did, but since it was more precious than a golden-quality bloodline, Chen Ye believed that this was likely to be a key item to trigger another hidden quest or bloodline, but in the end, Chen Ye still chose option E.

If he successfully completes this reincarnation world, Chen Ye believes that he will be able to reach the extreme value of 20 points for the four main attributes, 20 points is a threshold, and the four main attributes will reach 20 points, with Chen Ye's rich skill blessing, he will be able to obtain the judgment of silver quality, which is only one level away from the golden quality bloodline, but this is a real strength improvement, and the bloodline is fixed, once accepted, it cannot be reversed and changed, and now the bloodline of the "Siren Empress" has been determined, and its growth potential is very limited, In the future, if you encounter a dark gold-level monster, you will have to be suppressed, it is better to accelerate your own growth, and match it when you meet the right bloodline, not to mention the points consumed, which also indirectly tells Chen Ye what choice he needs to make.

As Chen Ye made the choice of mission reward, the cave shook for a while, and they reappeared outside the original mountain wall, Howard was still unconscious, it seemed that the soul fit would take a certain amount of time to complete, and Katrin turned into Carter again, which made Chen Ye a little strange.

"Isn't your curse lifted? Why ......" Chen Ye was a little confused.

"Because you're only breaking my seal, Catlyn's curse comes from her bloodline, she's not an ordinary human, she's a child born of a kraken combined with a human, she's a mutated kraken!" Howard's urn sounded as he spoke.

Chen Ye was taken aback when he heard this, he had always felt that the so-called "Siren Curse" seemed to be a child's play, and it did not endanger Katrin's life until she herself said that she only had a few months to live, and Chen Ye reconsidered the matter.

Howard stood up with Carter's support and said: "The Kraken is a very special magical creature, they have no fixed gender, they will only produce different genders because of the influence of magic, so in their infancy, the Kraken is both male and female, until they become adults, they will come into contact with each other, one becomes a male, and the other becomes a female, Katrin's mother became a female Kraken because she fell in love with me, and after marrying me, she has been with me to hide among humans until she gave birth to Catlyn......"

"You know, magical creatures can't survive among humans, the ubiquitous dark matter will devour their magic, Katrin's mother can stay with me for a long time because she wears the "Siren Cursed Chain" that can block the loss of magic, but I didn't expect that it was originally a punishment instrument, but in the end it saved her life, but Catlyn was born with obvious magical creature characteristics, if left alone, it will eventually be broken into pieces in the morning light, her mother can only give her the necklace, and then secretly left me, I became a pirate to find the person I love, and I believe she is still alive in this world! ”

Howard lifted his pig face, looked at Carter affectionately, and said, "You really look like your mother." ”

Chen Ye suddenly understood, it turned out that Catlyn's sudden male and female neglect was only caused by the different concentrations of magic power rich in the environment, because she was not a purebred kraken, so she could not adjust her physical state through emotions such as "admiration", and once she had been on land for a long time, she lacked the breath of the ocean, just like a fish leaving the water, she would age rapidly because of this, until she became an adult, and the human blood occupied a large enough weight before she could survive from the "Siren Curse Chain".

"Eight years ago, I received a scroll from a witch that would grant the wish of the human heart, and it was said to be the favor of the goddess of prophecy, and after I had sacrificed enough treasure, I learned from it the whereabouts of Catlin's mother, the island of the sunset, and when I came here, I accidentally fell under the control of Jörmungandr, and it forced me to open its seal, and I opened a corner of the seal in confusion, revealing a trace of its soul, but then one of my wizards woke up, and he killed me directly, Jörmungård was prevented from continuing to get out of trouble, but by then it was too late. Howard began to tell his story again, and this true story sounded clearer to Chen Ye than the logical story in Katrin's mouth.

"That trace of its soul occupies my body, the mighty Jörmungård will kill us even if there is only a trace of soul, in order to continue to possess my body, it seals my soul there, because once my soul dies, my body will quickly decay, I don't know if it is because it is the same kind, Jörmungård did not do anything to Katrin, but took her out of Sunset Island." Howard sighed with a sigh, he had been in a small clay pot for 8 years, which showed that he was really lonely.

Carter's face was full of grief and grief, and he said, "I killed my mother with my own hands......"

Chen Ye only felt that the world had changed, and at that time, Jörmungård must have recognized the identity of Carter's magical creature, so he wanted to take her away, but as soon as he got on the boat, he met Katrin's mother Siren Empress who was hiding nearby, she hid on Sunset Island because she knew that this was a space mezzanine used to imprison Jörmungandr, and it was also a place in the watch world that could maintain her life from being swallowed by the dark matter of the surface world except for the temple, but seeing that her daughter was going to be taken away by Jörmungad, She rushed out, but she didn't expect to be shot by a Cartrin who didn't know what was going on.

The next thing is just like Catherin herself said, Jörmungård's clone wants to find a wizard to re-unseal him, because only a wizard with magical power can find Sunset Island and enter the cage in the space mezzanine, but until his soul weakness dissipates, he can't do it, but in the end he still uses the magic imprint to establish a connection with Catlin's body, and constantly threatens her with her life, Chen doesn't know what Jörmungård can do to make Katrin only live to be 20 years old, But magical creatures have their own mysteries that cannot be predicted.

Chen Ye also learned the origin of the "Oracle Scroll" from Howard's mouth, presumably Ramini also came to Sunset Island unexpectedly after encountering a shipwreck, and found Howard's "Oracle Scroll" here, but he did not explore the center of the island, so he escaped a catastrophe, and he does not know how he finally left Sunset Island, but it must be inseparable from the guidance of the "Oracle Scroll".

Katrin's story came to an end, but the end result was good, Howard got an alternative resurrection through Surut, he could continue to take care of his daughter, and had more power, and Katrin although she still had the blood of the Kraken and was destined to live at sea for the rest of her life, but in the end they could still have a good outcome, but Catlin's mother, the Siren Empress who loved human men deeply, was really distressing.

With Howard's resurrection, Chen Ye lost Surut, and he also vacated a position of "Bloody Beast", Chen Ye couldn't wait to do one thing, he wanted to try if the flesh and blood essence of the North Sea Giant could cast spells on the Thunderlight, because the Thunderlight received the "blessing of the gods", which is equivalent to the gods giving life, in addition to not having "flesh and blood", it should be regarded as another lifeform without a soul, which is also the reason why Chen Ye decisively sacrificed Surut, even if there is no follow-up event of Catlin's request, After Chen Ye returns, the 1 real skill point he obtains will also be on the "Voodoo Blood Corpse", adding a position to cast spells on the Thunder Light.

Although he and Katrin only stayed in that space for less than 2 hours, but a full 8 days had passed outside, and the Thunder Light had been converted into a galleon under Manha's emergency repairs, at least there was no problem sailing, and there were also sufficient supplies, enough for 1 month's supply, according to Chen Ye's instructions, he also vacated half of the cabin, unloaded the roof, filled with enough soil, and planted a few seedlings of "dusk apple trees" on it.

No one has any opinion on Surut's name as Howard, the name Howard seems to them to be as ordinary as a cat and a dog, but for Surut, who should have been taciturn, he suddenly became a chatty Howard, that is, he felt surprised and curious, especially Howard can tell a lot of pirate adventure stories, and even play the harmonica, I really can't imagine his ugly face, fat body holding a small harmonica, squatting next to Carter and playing affectionately.

Chen Ye still didn't immediately cast a spell on the Thunder Light, after all, if it failed, it was likely that the Thunder Light would collapse into a pile of debris, but they still had to leave here by boat, and the Thunder Light set sail again after many days! Although there is no steam power to increase the speed, but Howard obviously has a very high level of sailing skills, so that their speed does not seem slow, after 20 days of sailing, gradually approaching the port city of Santes, the British Empire, Chen Ye read nearly 300 books in the captain's room, and finally achieved the achievement of "Little Book Lovers" and obtained the "Proficiency Scroll x1"

This skill scroll Chen Ye intends to use to improve the "dual wielding" sub-skill, after continuous fighting, Chen Ye's "entry dual wielding" skill has also reached the A level, how far away from the full proficiency value of MAX, and there may be a fierce battle next.

Santes is the place where Chen Ye and Zhou Dong have made an appointment, and Zhou Dong promised that he will wait for him here for a month, after all, the pirate forces were destroyed in this battle, and he did not plan to enter the Caribbean Sea until he was completely ready, after all, it was the intersection of the forces of the Italian and French Empire and the Banya Empire.

The Lei Guang was close to the port of Santes, and the first thing to welcome was not Zhou Dong, but the firm that got the news, Chen Ye then remembered that he seemed to owe a fart * stock debt, for those bonds that were about to be smashed in the face, Chen Ye quietly ignored them and handed them over to Carter to deal with, anyway, the deadline was not yet reached, these people just knew that Zhou Dong had suffered a big defeat, and drove Chen Yulun out of the fleet, for fear that the money lent out would not be returned, so he came to collect debts, and Chen Ye would pay attention to them.

Chen Ye pushed open the door of the bar, in broad daylight, there were also a group of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods noisy inside, Zhou Dong sat at the table in the corner, unnoticed, Chen Ye walked over slowly, Zhou Dong looked up vigilantly, and found that it was Chen Ye, only then relaxed and said: "This time, I dragged you down, you can drink whatever you want!" When I make amends to you. ”

Chen Ye just picked up his unfinished rum bottle, poured a glass into his empty cup, and then clinked glasses with Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong was stunned, and then drank the residual wine in the cup with Chen Ye, Chen Ye smiled: "What do you mean by dragging me into the water?" Captain Zhou Dong said with a smile, now that you are the largest pirate force in the Caribbean, we still have a lot of cooperation to do! ”

Zhou Dong, who was originally a little sluggish, couldn't help but laugh angrily when he heard Chen Ye's words, slapped the table and said, "You're right!" Relying on my Lao Zhou's ten broken ships and more than 100 people, it is now the largest pirate force...... What do you think you can do? If it weren't for the fact that I still had a privateer warrant, I didn't even dare to stop, and crossed the Poburo Strait hungry, I don't think I'd be any better than Shore. ”

The Italian and French Imperial Navy suffered heavy losses in the storm area, but such a thing would not be publicized to the outside world, and Zhou Dong naturally didn't know, Chen Ye hooked his fingers, and when Zhou Dong leaned over his head curiously, Chen Ye whispered to him, his eyes suddenly widened, his eyes rolled slightly, and then he asked in a low voice: "At least seventy percent sure!" But before I can do that, I'll have to find someone to fix my Thunderlight. ”

Zhou Dong slapped his thigh and said, "The soldier is fast!" What other boats do you build? Shall I give you the Tempest too? ”

Chen Ye shook his head and said, "I just want my Thunderlight." ”

"Tsk! It's really dead-eyed...... Yes! You can disassemble the parts on the Tempest, count it as a gift to you, and I'll ask you when you will leave! Zhou Dong asked with a greedy look in his eyes.

"I promised Leader Zheng that things must be done, not to mention that Saint-Malo is not far from there, if there is no suitable place to sell stolen goods, it is not suitable to travel for a long time, I hope you can contact Jack, you and he are both pirates with imperial privateer licenses, there must be a way to contact each other, tell him that if you want to join in, you must hand over the pirate king token in his hand, and all the goods must be sold by you, and then converted into Fei Lang to trade with him." Chen Ye pondered.

Zhou Dong narrowed his eyes and said: "No problem, this guy doesn't look usually lazy, but in fact he is very insidious and cunning, last time it was wrong, he immediately slipped away, not long ago he also asked someone to send me a letter, saying that he was also deceived by Gus Brown, hoping to release the suspicion with me, I directly tore up the letter in a fit of anger, and also beat the messenger and locked him up, now I am afraid that I have been hungry for three or four days...... I'll let him out later, and give him a good treat, and this thing will definitely be done!" ”

Chen Ye discussed some details with Zhou Dong again, his proposal to Zhou Dong was to go to the Lekin Strait to salvage the sunken ship, the four golden treasure ships were still sunk there, but there were countless treasures on them, which were originally divided into several points, Gus Brown still had to take the lion's share, but now they were all sunk in the sea, Gus Brown didn't want the treasure, but he wanted to monopolize the sea market, the pirate power is getting stronger and stronger, it is not a good thing for a black market merchant like him, he hopes to have a relatively weak partner, so in the future transaction, He can occupy a higher position, and the wealth in it is long-lasting, not comparable to the treasure of one or two golden treasure ships, which is equivalent to Gus Brown monopolizing the entire trading market of pirate forces.

The location of the Leke Strait is very sensitive, at the junction of the Banya Empire and the Italian and French Empire, and the operation of salvaging the golden treasure ship cannot be done by one or two ships, but dispatching too many fleets will inevitably attract the attention of the two countries, in short, in a short period of time, they will not move with each other, which makes Chen Ye have the idea of salvaging treasures, but before that, Saint-Malo must be occupied as a transit station.
