Volume 1 • Seven Seas [008] Relic Level
The next day, the wind was calm.
The Black Knife continued to sail in the direction of Little Will Island.
Little Weil Island is not in the Sea of Plath, and as the name suggests, the Seven Seas are made up of seven seas.
Open the chart and count from left to right, from top to bottom, the Plas Sea is the sixth sea, and the Little Will Island is in the seventh sea, which is the Sylvia Sea.
There are only three ways for the Black Knife to reach Little Will Island.
The first is to make a detour through the fifth, fourth, and second sea areas, make a big circle, and enter the Sylvia Sea.
It takes a lot of time, at least a year to reach the Sea of Sylvia.
There are also two options, one is to pass through the Visipus Strait between the islands of Yazhong and Willalia, and the other is to pass under the island of Waitalia.
The former may be attacked by both the Yazhong Island Navy and the Willalia Island Sea Soldiers, but it is also possible that the Black Knife has quietly passed before the other party has even discovered him.
The latter is more dangerous, because the island of Willalia is close to the Black Sea and has countless reefs, so one mistake can cause the ship to be destroyed and killed.
At the moment, the Black Knife is heading in the direction of the Visipus Strait.
Hawkins sat on the deck chair, carefully feeling the changes in his body, the arc of his fingers gradually turning into a bird, and then suddenly softening to form a tiger.
"Kill me, son of a pirate, why don't you kill me?"
Julian's little bat was hung upside down from the mast, his eyes fixed on Hawkins, struggling and roaring.
He is an extremely proud man, if only defeat is good, but he was captured alive by Hawkins, even if Joyce can save him next, he has no face to continue to live, rather than become the laughing stock of the family, he would rather choose death.
Hawkins looked up at Julian and said with a smile, "Do you really want to die?"
"Hmph, kill me if you kind!" Julian replied with a sneer.
Hawkins shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I won't kill you, and you don't really want to die, you just can't accept being defeated at my hands for a while, and you have a strong sense of humiliation, so you have this extreme idea now, but in fact, your subconscious doesn't really want to die." ”
"Pirate son, you'll regret not killing me today!" Julian threatened gloomily.
Hawkins nodded, "I'm looking forward to that day." ”
He certainly wouldn't let his enemies threaten him again.
In fact, after reading Julian's memories, he embedded a biological virus into Julian's brain, which could act in place of the consciousness virus at critical moments.
It is often difficult for people to distinguish the source of each of their thoughts, and Hawkins's consciousness virus actually originates from this.
The sailors on the Black Knife, they weren't completely controlled by Hawkins.
Suppose that Marine A is ready to sleep, so he is ready to carry out the command 'sleep', but at this moment, Hawkins' consciousness virus intercepts the thought of 'sleeping' and then releases the thought of 'dancing'.
Sailor A didn't know he wanted to sleep, but thought he wanted to dance, so he started dancing.
Hawkins's consciousness virus actually uses this method to control the sailors on the Black Knife and let them carry out Hawkins' orders.
Most creatures are so obscured that it is difficult to determine the source of each of their thoughts, or where they are coming from.
Because Julian cursed the relic, the pure consciousness virus could not affect him, so he needed to intervene at the physical level, that is, the physical consciousness virus.
It's like Hawkins reading Julian's memories with his hair, and the biological virus that carries the consciousness virus will emit static electricity, which will subtly modify Julian's brain waves, and the end result is that Julian will act in favor of Hawkins without knowing that he is being affected by the virus.
Unfortunately, this approach does not work for everyone.
The main reason is that Julian has immune defects because of the relationship between the cursed relics, so he can implant a virus, if ordinary people are implanted with this virus, they will soon catch a cold and fever, and their body temperature will rise sharply, and finally use the high temperature to kill the virus, and they may also die of illness in bed.
Whether the virus is taken out or people die from the disease is not the outcome that Hawkins wants.
Hawkins has no intention of taking the lives of any living beings, he has only come to this world to embark on a new adventure, to meet beings who can communicate amicably, and it is not his intention to kill or enslave.
Of course, he is also not a virgin, he is well aware of the cruelty of nature, so if someone gets in his way, then he doesn't mind sending them out of this world.
At this time, he didn't care about Julian's defeat, he had two more concerns.
One is about Joyce.
In Julian's memory, Joyce is incredibly powerful, if Julian's combat power is 100, then Joyce's combat power is 9999999999+.
Joyce's body is capable of transforming into countless pieces of paper and has no weaknesses.
In Julian's memory, there were attempts to attack the paper figures with fire, acid, and weapons, but they did not pose any threat to the paper figures.
In addition, Julian and Joyce were also exposed to thunderstorms when they were out on a mission, and the lightning did not harm Joyce.
In the paper man state, Joyce is like being invincible, and has not been defeated so far.
However, Hawkins did not believe that Joyce was absolutely invincible, and if he was really that powerful, then the ruler of the island of Victoria would have changed long ago.
From Julian's memory, it can be known that Joyce is not ranked high next to Jobs, and is not even in the top ten, so Joyce's ability must be flawed, but Julian did not find out.
There is also the issue of the classification of cursed relics.
In the aristocratic class, cursed relics have a strict hierarchy, which are 'good, dangerous, fierce, and dead'.
Relic of good grade, although it also carries a curse, but generally curses are not fatal.
For example, the cursed relic owned by Julian is a good-grade relic called the Bat Necklace, which can give the wearer the ability to turn into a bat, while the curse is that the wearer can only suck blood for a living.
Dangerous relics, as the name suggests, are very dangerous relics.
Jodas's bridal scimitar is a dangerous relic, and without the right countermeasures, it can be said that it is touching and dying.
The level of the cursed relic does not represent the strength of the relic, but only the strength of the curse, and the stronger the curse, the more complex the countermeasures that need to be taken.
As for the final 'death-level' relic, it is basically completely impossible to offset the curse, whoever touches it will die, and even all blood relatives will be implicated, and the entire race will be wiped out in an instant.
After learning about the hierarchical knowledge of the cursed relic, Hawkins developed a series of suspicions.
The black knife he possessed and the mysterious chart could not be cursed relics, but they were both good-grade relics, so they were not deadly.
If this guess is correct, then what is their curse?
Although the good-level relic is not deadly, the curse must exist, but Hawkins has not discovered it in the past.
Hawkins pulled out the black knife, waved it lightly, and then began to carefully search Hawkins's original memories for any clues.
Whether it is a black knife or a sea chart, it was Hawkins who inherited it from his father.
After inheriting the Black Knife and the charts, Hawkins did not produce any mental changes, and secondly, the physical changes did not appear.
"No, from the big data, Hawkins has had mixed luck in the past. ”
"But after inheriting the black knife and the chart, there will be one day of special bad luck every month, and it will be exactly 30 days after the last bad luck. ”
"Is the bad luck coming from the charts, or is it the black knife?"
"And if the black knife is really a cursed relic, what is the effect? It can't just be very hard, right?"
Hawkins's countless questions flashed quickly in his heart, and finally opened his eyes to look at the black knife in his hand, but the black knife was still a black knife, and it did not change in any way because of his discoveries.
