Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [041] Black Market Island
【I love my family】
Victor: Uh...... Hi everyone, I'm Victor.
......
Jenny: Welcome, I'm Jenny, I'm an informant!
Mourning Night: Welcome, I'm a trainee, and I can see the name myself.
Arthur: Welcome Victor, the ...... May I ask, what is it like to be a man?
Mourning Night: Arthur, you are disgusting!
Hawkins: Arthur, don't be yellow, or you'll deduct 10 exchange points.
Victor: Lord Hawkins, can I really resurrect it? And if I have a resurrection point, can I resurrect Avril?
After typing in his thoughts, Victor's heart beat faster and he looked at the chat group expectantly.
Hawkins replied: Yes, but I need to look into your memories, and if you don't mind your privacy being seen by me, I can indeed resurrect Avril.
Victor: Of course I don't mind, I'll try to save 10,000 exchange points for the mission!
Qiao Si: For the sake of you being a man, the task of washing the toilet will be given to you in the future.
Arthur: Yes, Victor, no one will rob you of your tasks in the future.
Victor:......
He opened the task page and was speechless after reading it.
So far, there are only two missions on the mission page, one is to kill pirates, and the other is to wash the toilet.
But when he thought of Avril, he decisively clicked to accept the task, and from now on, he will be a sailor during the day and wash the toilet at night!
......
Three days went by in a blink of an eye.
In the past three days, Jenny only dreamed of Jobs once, but it was too far away from them, so there was no need to go, and it was estimated that by the time the Black Knife rushed over, Jobs would have already left.
It is worth mentioning that Mark has been a little silent in the past three days, and he doesn't even fall in love with the chat group, and his mind is full of only doing tasks, and it is not good to rush to do tasks with Victor, so he wants to meet pirates all day long.
Everyone understands his mentality better, after all, he was on the live broadcast when he fought George, and it can be said that he was beaten away in front of everyone, which is too embarrassing.
It's better if someone else sees that he is embarrassed, but there is a girl in the chat group who is in his good ball zone, which is embarrassing.
So now he doesn't have any other ideas, he just wants to be stronger.
Eternal space.
On a lonely island stands a building with a completely different style from this world.
The building is pure silver and consists of two semicircles, one of which is a nuclear power station and the other is a biological research institute, plus a large column that reaches into the sky.
Hawkins is still studying the monster that came from the Realm and is trying to replicate it.
There have been no breakthroughs, but they have not been without discoveries.
Hawkins discovered that the monster was highly resistant to curses, which he had concluded using a blowtorch seized from the killer.
Although this blowgun is only a good-level curse relic, the danger of the curse is not much lower than that of a dangerous-level curse relic.
Anyone who has ever held a blowgun will suddenly suffocate at random times, and the suffocation time is not very long, at most a minute.
But this curse is extremely dangerous, especially during strenuous exercise, and a sudden one-minute suffocation can be fatal.
Hawkins deliberately puts the monster under a curse, only to find that the curse seems to be useless against the monster.
To put it simply, this monster is immune to the curse, which is a big discovery!
So far, no one is immune to curses, either the Enchanter or anyone else who uses the Cursed Relic, and the Enchanter simply reduces the effect of the Curse or uses the power to cover the body to avoid actual contact with the Cursed Relic.
And using the cursed relic to contain the cursed relic is even more of a trick.
So, no one in the real world is truly immune to curses, even if the curses are only good-grade.
Hawkins investigates more deeply after discovering that monsters are immune to curses, which directly becomes the focus of his current research, as long as he cracks the secret of monster immunity to curses, maybe he can truly be immune to curses.
At this time, he was wearing a white lab coat, holding a blowgun in one hand and a remote control in the other.
"The third set of experiments, start!"
As the sound fell, two bodies that resembled monsters were pulled out of the tank.
Hawkins held the blowgun and lightly touched each of the two bodies, and then the mana spread through, and began to record the changes in the two bodies.
Both bodies are cultured from monster cells, but they don't go in the same direction.
One of them was thinner, the other was particularly strong.
A minute later, Hawkins pressed the button, and both bodies were pulled out at the same time to be destroyed.
"The stronger the body, the stronger the resistance to the curse?"
Hawkins recorded it on a light screen, and if that's the case, then is it the same for ordinary people?
There was no genetic difference between the two bodies, only the difference in strength, and the result was that the stronger body was immune to the curse, while the thin body was contaminated with the curse after a moment's delay.
The Conjurer has the ability to discern the cursed aura, so he can be sure that this result is correct.
Next, he pulled out two more bodies, one that was not only short and as thin as a bean sprout, but also a body that was not only huge, but also extremely fat.
He lightly tapped his blow arrow on both bodies, and the mana extended over.
The muscles of these two bodies are actually the same, there is no difference in internal organs, and even the size of the bones is actually the same, but the thin body has almost no fat under the skin, and the fat body is basically equivalent to being covered with fat.
For a moment, Hawkins raised his eyebrows slightly, and the results came out.
The skinny body was contaminated with the curse, but the fat body was successfully immune to the curse.
So, it's not that the stronger the body, the stronger the resistance to the curse, but the bigger the body, the stronger the resistance to the curse?
Hawkins is surprised by this, but sometimes the more incredible it is, the closer it is to the truth, and now that the results are out, a few trials can prove whether this conclusion is correct.
But just as he was preparing for the second test, the chat group Riaser @ him.
In fact, he didn't want to add the @ function, the problem is that he is currently in eternal space most of the time, in case the Black Knife is attacked by the enemy again, Mark and Arthur alone may not be able to deal with it, so after thinking about it, he still joins the @ function.
He opened the chat group, and it turned out that the black market had arrived.
In fact, strictly speaking, the black market should be called Black Market Island.
Although this small island is not large, it is also slightly close to the size of Bali on Earth.
Although it is located between Yazhong Island, Blackwood Island, and Hard Biscuit Island, because the situation is too complicated, it can be regarded as a three-way zone.
Whether it is Aldrich, Demps or Mallory, they all seem to subconsciously ignore the existence of Black Market Island, and their ambiguous attitudes are puzzling.
The original Hawkins once visited Black Market Island, but it was actually more like watching the moon in the water, and he was not familiar with Black Market Island.
Hawkins thought about it, stopped the experiment in his hand, and after putting the remote control away, he took off the white coat on his body, changed into clean clothes, and came out of the eternal space directly.
The Black Knife was docked in a port, surrounded by many ships, and even several pirate ships could be seen.
In fact, pirates are also frequent visitors to Black Market Island, and most of them are there to sell stolen goods, but Hawkins has his own father's channel for selling stolen goods, so he has no contact with the deeper inside story of Black Market Island.
"Captain, shall we go ashore?" asked Mark as he saw Hawkins emerge from the cabin.
Hawkins nodded, "Well, don't make trouble, don't be afraid." ”
"Well, I know. Mark nodded calmly.
Probably because of the previous losses, Mark finally didn't jump out so much.
After the two of them went ashore, the tentacles on the bottom of the Black Knife came out of the water, and the next moment the Black Knife was wrapped into a ball and slowly sank underwater.
Many people on the shore saw this scene, some didn't care, some looked at Hawkins and Mark in surprise, and some secretly watched, not knowing what the purpose was.
Hawkins and Mark walked across the docks, and a little boy immediately approached and said, "My lord, this is your first time on the black market, do you need a guide?"
"How much?" Hawkins asked with a smile.
The little boy was pleasantly surprised: "One silver coin is enough." ”
"It's a bit expensive, forget it, here you go!" Hawkins frowned slightly, and finally took out a silver coin and gave it to the other party.
Mark also thinks it's expensive, which is his day's salary.
"My name, my name is Darren, and I promise my service will be worth it," the little boy said, putting away the coins, and then said earnestly.
Hawkins smiled: "Then let's introduce the situation of the black market first, you should know very well, right?"
"Yes, please come with me, this is not the place to talk. Darren nodded.
Hawkins and Mark followed Darren to a small square, and after passing through it, the three entered an uninhabited alley.
"Two adults, the situation in the black market is very complicated, I will introduce some basic information, the black market will hold a secret auction every month, and there will be many precious treasures to be auctioned, if the two adults have needs, you can go to Jiber to buy qualifications, and I will take the two adults to recognize the road when I go back."
Also, don't kill people in the black market, this is the biggest rule of the black market.
Once you kill someone on the black market, it is absolutely impossible to leave the black market alive......"
Darren was full of excitement and explained in depth the various situations of the black market, where else you can't go and who you can't provoke.
"May I ask, who is the owner of the black market?" Mark asked when he saw Darren stop.
In general, islands will have an absolute ruler, except for very small islands like Preskin Island.
Darren shook his head and said, "There is no ruler in the black market, but there are three families who work together to maintain order in the black market. ”
"Which three families?" asked Mark.
Darren thought about it, and still spoke: "The three major families are the Black Hand Family, the Red Blood Family, and the Demon Knife Family, they all have incredible power, it is said that no matter who violates the rules, they will know it as soon as possible, and kill the violator!"
He lowered his voice visibly as he said this.
