035, puzzle solving
"Her Royal Highness the princess's goal is also the treasure in Juana's hands?" At Anna's gracious invitation, Talos boarded the royal family's elaborate sailing ship and chatted with the princess while enjoying exquisite food.
In the next half hour, Anna Tish, the princess of the Naga Kingdom, congratulated Talos Nepton, the youngest son of the Black Sea Lord, on activating the bloodline of the Immortal Whale to become a first-order bloodline knight, and had a cordial and friendly exchange, after which Talos turned the topic to the most timely treasure.
Not only that, but the young Naga also glanced quickly at the three high-ranking professionals on the ship, and complained intentionally or unintentionally: "The three four-armed Naga, I have barely had some chance of improving by cooperating with the priest of the Goddess of Wealth, and now I am estimated to have fallen to the bottom. ”
Princess Anna smiled and promised, "Don't worry, if I finally get the treasure of the madwoman, I can share half of you." ”
"Thanks to your generosity, I think I can finally get a good night's sleep. Adhering to the idea that "it is a fool to take advantage of it", Talos accepted Anna's promise without changing his face.
"But—" Anna continued to smile, but with a hint of seriousness, perhaps a hint of inquiry, "Tar, haven't you received that message from the Evelyn?"
"What?" Talos was a little confused, and carefully examined the Ring of the Magic Web, "What's the news, I only contacted Emma in the morning." ”
"Don't worry if you don't receive it, I'll tell you. Anna's gaze lingered on Talos' face for a moment, and she explained, "According to the information that we have received jointly from the Sea Temple and the royal family, the so-called treasure in the hands of the madwoman may have been just a conspiracy from beginning to end. ”
If surprise could manifest, it must be the look on Talos' face right now.
Although he had been using the treasure in Juana's possession as an excuse to cover up his investigation into the origin of the coin, Talos was a little overwhelmed when he learned the news.
Perhaps Talos's reaction was too real, Anna quickly added, "But that doesn't mean that the madwoman doesn't have other treasures in her hands. ”
This sentence somewhat saved Talos's wounded heart, and Naga finally came back to his senses and was able to ask his own question: "What the hell is going on? Juana accidentally obtained a treasure that was passed down by an insider planted by the barbarian pirates under Juana, and it is impossible to fake." Besides, aren't the pirates of the central ocean and the western ocean all attracted to it?"
"Yes, they were indeed attracted to the treasure because of their greed, and a large part of them are now transformed into undead creatures by the two vampires. ”
Anna's reminder turned two things that were not originally related to each other into cause and effect, and allowed Talos to deduce two conclusions in just three seconds: "Juana and the two vampires are in a cooperative relationship, and the so-called treasure is just a decoy?"
The four-armed Naga nodded and replied, "Yes, and yes." ”
Talos had only learned from Odinson that the vampire and Jacob were in a relationship, and now that Anna had told him that the vampire and Juana were also in a cooperative relationship, making it hard not to wonder if the three of them had simply come to some kind of agreement in the Lees Triangle.
Interestingly, both Juana and Jacob have some connection to the ancient Sadinian dynasty.
After Talos had almost digested the existing information, the four-armed Naga continued to explain: "There is indeed a treasure in the hands of the madwoman, but it has not yet been revealed, and as for the previous spread by the pirates, it is just a pretense to lure the pirates to the Lees Triangle, where the treasure is really buried. ”
"I see. It's just that why would Juana team up with two vampires and take out the treasure herself, wouldn't it be better?
"There are two possibilities. Anna intimately analyzed, "First, the madwoman and the vampire are just a simple partnership to help them obtain the resources to transform undead creatures. In view of the purge of necromancers by the Church of the Gods and the major forces, it is not impossible for them to choose a very mysterious and dangerous Leth Triangle far from the mainland. ”
"Second, the opening of the final treasure place requires unconventional means, such as blood sacrifices, such as living sacrifices, not as simple as entering a cave and directly taking out the treasure. So—"
"Juana deliberately dropped some treasure chests in the process of being pursued by other pirate forces to prove the authenticity of the treasure in his hand and achieve a better lure effect. ”
Talos combed through the existing news, and suddenly became enlightened: "In this way, it is not difficult to explain why the news of the barbarian pirate sold to the pirate alliance at a high price spread everywhere, maybe Juana still watched the spies who came in with the barbarian pirate Ancha to pass the news out." ”
"Not bad. Anna stretched out her two upper arms to applaud Talos's reasoning in appreciation, "The pirates in the Central and Western Oceans have probably suffered a curse of fate recently, first the Arcane Archer of the Golden Empire went out to sea to hunt the pirate leader, and finally obtained exciting treasure news, but it turned out to be a conspiracy. ”
"yes. Talos casually expressed sympathy for the pirates, but there was still a doubt in his mind.
Among the chests abandoned by Juana as bait are gold coins from the ancient Sadinian period that Talos can identify, with a High Nightmare Curse attached to them, and the chained on the motif guides each other when approached at a certain distance.
Vampires can pinpoint the location of pirates in the foggy, mysterious and dangerous Rieth Triangle, and they are not only taking advantage of the gold coins, but they also have a coin in their hand that can track down other ordinary gold coins!
However, as the Naga mage mentioned when they got the second gold coin on the pirate ship, only archmages who are at the fourth level and proficient in dark magic are eligible to place a high-level nightmare curse on the coin.
If this is a conspiracy arranged by Juana and the vampires, does it mean that there is a fourth-order necromancer in the depths of the Leth Triangle who is proficient in black magic, or even a corpse witch who has transformed his life form!
Realizing this, Talos felt a sense of unease for the first time.
The corpse witch represents not only ordinary fourth-order combat power, but also an army of undead!
Because of this, Talos contacted Emma very actively for the first time after leaving the Black Sea, informing Anna of the news she had just mentioned, as well as speculation about the corpse witch.
To this, Emma's response was very simple, with only two sentences:
"But you still got the news, didn't you?"
"Don't worry about the corpse witch, if necessary, a fourth-order professional will strike for you at a critical moment. ”
