Chapter 90: To the New World
Unexpectedly, Raphael did not continue to do business, but accepted the mission announced by the King of Portugal to open routes to the New World.
However, Liu Zheng was quite happy, he had no interest in business, and he wanted to explore everywhere, maybe he could complete the remaining seven nautical legends.
Speaking of which, the curse of that god of death has been struck many times.
Every time he had an attack, it was like a red-hot knife spinning around in Liu Zheng's brain.
But he found that every time he carried the soul impact, his soul would be more condensed.
If he continued to polish it like this, when his soul reached a golden pill and was free of dust and light, his martial arts would definitely rise.
Liu Zheng's mind is already tenacious, and after going through so many things, he has become steel.
Since enduring pain can be exchanged for strength growth, it is not a loss.
So when Raphael offered to help him find the archbishop to exorcise the curse, he refused.
Loaded with supplies and a few prepared goods, the Legend sailed away from Ceuta and headed for the New World.
In the real world, the discovery of the "New World" was accomplished by the Italian navigator Christopher Columbus and his fleet.
In 1492, he was ordered by the Spanish rulers Isabra and Ferdinand, carrying the books of the Oriental monarchs, with three ships and 90 sailors, from the port of Barros to the Atlantic Ocean to the Bahamas, Cuba, Haiti and other places.
In the world of great navigation, the Italian navigator McCart Bersa, who was commissioned by the King of Portugal twenty years ago to explore a new route to the East.
But there was a storm on the way, and only Bertha and a few sailors escaped in small boats.
When he returned to Lisbon, he soon fell ill and died, leaving behind only a logbook and a warning: "Whoever seeks a new route will be plagued by thunderstorms." ”
The voyagers' encounters and Bertha's warnings terrified the navigators, and for the next decade no fleet dared to challenge a new route.
Ten years later, however, the King of Portugal was challenged by Spain's strength and the challenge of rising stars such as England and the Netherlands, and his ambition to explore new routes was rekindled.
Therefore, this time the recruitment of the expedition team officially made a bloody investment.
Raphael's reputation as a Castello family, coupled with the excellent structure of the boat and crew, led to a large amount of sponsorship.
The first goal of their trip was to reach the farthest point that McCarter Bossa had reached, the island of Karipamar.
It wasn't until the Legend reached its first supply point, Port Monis, southwest of Lisbon, that the system's prompt belatedly sounded.
"Players complete the story mission: Regroup and successfully join the Navigator faction, current faction reputation: 500/1000 (cold)."
"The player moves on to the next stage of the story mission: travel to the New World and leave a mark on at least three landmarks."
The initial prestige was quite high, which should be the reason why the "Legend" exceeded the mission standard.
The sailors had been adrift at sea for a week before arriving at the port of Monish, and now that they had finally arrived at the port, they couldn't wait to have a good time.
"Get off the boat." As soon as Raphael finished speaking, the sailors rushed to the bazaar in excitement.
"Wait." Liu Zheng's voice did not deliberately increase, but it still resounded through the port.
The sailors froze in place as if they had been turned to stone by the Gorgon, and then turned their heads.
"Tomorrow before 5 p.m. back to the ship, whoever dares to be late, I will let him see the more mysterious power of the East." Liu Zheng shouted.
His tone was not fierce, but the sailors immediately nodded wildly.
"Alright, let's go." With a wave of Liu's forehand, the sailors immediately lifted the petrification.
I still look like a boatswain, Liu Zhengzhi thought proudly.
If the sailors knew what he was thinking, they would roll their eyes to the sky.
If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, the ghost would ignore him.
However, they only dared to say this in their hearts, and they only dared to complain vaguely on the ship, after all, Liu Zheng's oppressive power was too strong.
On the third day of their voyage, they encountered a gang of robbers.
At the beginning, with the attitude of training, Liu Zheng and Wolf Heart did not do anything, but let the sailors familiarize themselves with the cooperation first.
Later, Liu Zheng saw with his eagle eye that the pirate captain was wearing a string of baby skulls around his neck and was instantly furious, and directly shot and killed a whole ship of pirates.
Almost all the pirates were crushed by him, their crotch, limbs, and sternum, and finally cut their blood vessels and tied to the deck of the pirate ship to die.
Liu Zheng was standing in front of the only surviving pirate, the blood on his sleeve pouring down like a waterfall.
"I'll spare you your life, and tell all the pirates you meet that if you dare to harm children, this ship will be their fate. If they say no one has told them, I'll tear your bones off one by one, but you'll live forever. Clear? ”
The sailors vividly remembered that the pupils of the otherwise murderous pirate shrank into a ball, and the filthy liquid flowed from under the crotch, and the whole person trembled as if he had malaria.
If Liu Zheng hadn't helped him activate his qi and blood, he might have been scared to death on the spot.
Since then, the sailors, who had been scornful of this ignorant and young boatswain, turned into absolute awe.
Afterwards, some brave sailors asked Liu Zheng why he could defeat so many pirates by himself.
Liu Zheng decisively explained that he had become a mysterious force in the East and simply taught them a few tricks, which made him even more respectful of the sailors.
If Raphael and Liu Zheng's orders clash now, it is difficult to say which side they will be on.
I have to say that Raphael is really pitiful.
Gertrude takes Anna to refill her medicine and go shopping, while Frio and Raphael go shopping for supplies.
Jenas went to the exchange to sell the goods he brought and buy some new ones, leaving only Liu Zheng and Wolf Heart behind.
"That's right, here's for you. I forgot about it when I got out of the Isle of the Damned, and I only remembered it now. Liu Zheng handed the reward of the Soul Battlefield to the heart of the wolf.
"Item Name: Soul Orb"
"Item Rank: A Rank"
"Item Effects: Amplification (30% increase in the effect of all soul or spirit spells), Enlightenment (consume this item to add spirituality to the weapon, and weapons below B level can be upgraded to A rank.) )”
"You want to give it to me?" Wolfheart was a little surprised.
"Cursed Island, you used so many props, you have to get some money back." Liu Zheng said with a smile.
Wolf Heart glanced at him, didn't say anything, but took out the Yanling knife "Shocking Snow" and slapped the soul orb on the knife.
The originally crystal clear soul orb instantly turned into a ball of weapons, all of which were absorbed by the Yanling Knife.
"Item Name: Shocking Snow"
"Item Rank: A Rank"
"Item Effects: Sharpness, Knife Spirit (Knife skill cost reduced by 40%), Ice Heart Jade Bone (Knife wielder's negative mental state resistance greatly increased), Chill Soul (Has a chance to deal soul damage)"
Looking at the "Shocking Snow" that constantly flowed with a strange luster on the blade, Wolf Heart rarely smiled happily.
This knife was something she had been using for a long time, and the powerful prop effects had helped her get through a lot of difficulties.
But as her strength has risen, she has gradually become unusable, but she has not found a suitable way to upgrade.
Liu Zheng's "Soul Orb" is simply suitable for the thunder of the sky, and the upgraded effect also makes her very satisfied.
Wolf's Heart put away the Goose Feather Knife, thought for a moment, and took out a scroll from the storage space.
"Item Name: Quest Scroll (Hyakki Night Walk)"
"Item Level: B Rank"
"Item Effect: After use, a special mission will be opened, and the current mission can only be entered by a single player."
Hyakki Night Walking? Liu Zheng remembered the prop effect of Tong Zi Cut.
"Blade Soul (can be upgraded after killing enough demons and monsters)"
How does Wolfheart know? Liu Zheng looked at her with some confusion.
"I got this knife too, but I sold it." Wolfheart knew what he was thinking.
"Then why didn't you sell this to him?" Liu Zheng asked.
"I asked, and he's already upgraded. Oh, by the way, he said that the more demons this knife cuts within the same mission world, the stronger it will be when promoted, and it may even be directly promoted to the S rank. He was very sad when he saw this scroll. Wolfheart recalled.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Liu Zheng seems to see a hint of schadenfreude on her face.
"Thank you then." Liu Zheng was not hypocritical, and accepted it directly.
"Hmm. Also, do you want to learn the body method? Wolfheart said again.
"Body?"
"Hmm. My sword technique is passed down by the teacher, I can't teach you, and the number of paths is not in line with the sword. But my way is a family tradition, but I can pass it on to you. Wolfheart nodded.
Liu Zheng really needed such guidance, and bowed without twisting.
"Look!"
The heart of the wolf snorted, and as soon as he raised his hands, Liu Zheng suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in his face.
