Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [015] The eternal black knife
Zhen Qi Stone!
Very rare in this world, Mark didn't expect to be able to encounter a Zhenqi Stone so soon.
He looked at Hawkins, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Captain, do you want to be a spellmaster?"
Cursed relics, there are five on this wooden sailing ship, how many Hawkins themselves have is unknown, and the Zhenqi Stone is already available, so Hawkins already has all the conditions to become a spell master.
In fact, Mark's mind is very complicated, although he does not show any madness, nor does he show a lofty posture, but in fact, he did not originally regard Hawkins as the same kind of person.
It's like people don't think of orangutans and monkeys as their own kind.
Even Mark has already thought of an ending for Hawkins, that is, when he gets tired of the pirate life, he will kill Hawkins, so that naturally no one will know that he has been a pirate.
Although he doesn't think of himself as a nobleman, pirates are a group of people who are despised and cursed no matter what sea area they are, so it's okay to play occasionally, but he can't afford to lose that face when he's really a pirate.
But the incident just now made him realize his own shortcomings again, and also saw the unfathomable depth of Hawkins.
That's why he asked.
This shows that he really sees Hawkins as the same kind of person.
Hawkins shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, let's deal with these corpses first." ”
Although he was curious about the sorcerer, he was more curious about the delusion behind the sorcerer, and the sorcerer's abilities were secondary, after all, what he really wanted, unless it was a 'god' in the true sense, it should not be given to him.
After disposing of the bodies, the two returned to the Black Knife with their booty, and the few surviving sailors set sail again.
Inside, Hawkins and Mark sit face to face at their desks, the cursed relics of the five men housed in a wooden box, and Mark is invited to examine the magical chart.
Now that he knew that Mark could identify the effects and approximate levels of the cursed relics, Hawkins naturally made the best use of them.
Mark carefully observed the chart, and after a while, he was not sure: "This chart is indeed a cursed relic, but the level is difficult to say......"
"Can't you say?" Hawkins was surprised.
Mark nodded: "The ability of this cursed relic should be as the captain said, it is to mark all kinds of hidden treasures, but I can't determine the level of its curse, it may be good, dangerous, or even vicious." ”
"There's no way to judge right now...... Is it because the curse is special?" Hawkins asked, looking thoughtfully at Mark.
Mark nodded: "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a conditionally triggered curse, which will only explode instantly when the conditions are not met."
Like what...... Captain, you may need to obtain the treasure within the specified time after activating the treasure location, and the curse will trigger if the treasure is not obtained within the specified time. ”
"Well, it sounds like a timed fried egg. Hawkins understood.
In fact, after listening to Mark's explanation, he agreed with this explanation because he had already got the answer he needed.
The curse of this chart is indeed a trigger curse, and Hawkins has almost lost his life several times in his memory, most likely because of the curse of the chart.
The curse of the magical chart is very similar to the black knife, so Hawkins didn't find any clues in the big data before, but after Mark's reminder, he still found clues in the ocean of memory.
If the curse of the black knife may be bad luck, then the curse of the magical chart should be bad luck!
In fact, whether it is Huo Heidao or Hawkins, there is a high probability that they will die under the curse of the magical chart, because bad luck is coming, so it will attract strong enemies, and because bad luck is coming, so the original Hawkins will be replaced.
Hawkins looked at the chart, pondered for a moment, reached out and took off the black knife on his waist, looked up at Mark and smiled: "This knife should also be a cursed relic, but I don't know what the ability is, you see." ”
"This knife too?"
Mark was stunned, but took the black knife anyway.
But after a while, he shook his head: "I don't know, this knife doesn't seem to have special abilities." ”
“......”
Hawkins was a little speechless, the power of this black knife was even incomprehensible to Mark.
But Mark then spoke: "Captain, I've heard before that some cursed relics are incapable, and this kind of cursed relic is very weak even the curse, if the meteor hammer is the top existence of the murderous relic, then this knife may be the lowest existence among the good-level relics." ”
"I see. ”
While Hawkins disagrees with Mark's statement, he doesn't refute it.
The hardness of the black knife, he had personally tested it, so he knew very well that the black knife was definitely not the bottom existence among the good-grade relics.
Hard, in itself, is actually a very terrible ability.
Hawkins had a faint feeling that the black knife might not be a good grade, but a higher-grade cursed relic, but it had not been really developed, or that something was missing.
"Captain, there should be two curses on you, you only need to add one more curse, and then take the Calfing Stone powder to become a spell master, do you want to try?" Mark asked, putting down the black knife and looking at Hawkins.
Hawkins gave Mark a meaningful look and asked, "You really want me to be a spellmaster?"
"Captain, you saved me twice, I just hope that the captain is as strong as possible, there is absolutely no other thought, if you still can't trust me, then you can wait for me to get off the ship before becoming a spellmaster. Mark immediately replied earnestly.
Hawkins took out the Zhenqi stone from the wooden box, gently turned it next to the oil lamp, and said lightly: "I believe you, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just now." ”
"Which cursed relic is the captain going to choose as the third curse?" said Mark hurriedly.
Hawkins looked at the wooden box next to him, thought about it, took out his eyeballs, and said with a smile: "That's it!"
"Captain, the conditions for wearing this prosthetic eye ......" Mark looked surprised, he had made it clear that this was a cursed relic that he could only wear by gouging out one of his eyes.
At this time, Hawkins's left eyeball bulged slightly, and then the internal nerve line automatically disconnected, he took off his eyeball, and said with a light smile: "It's not a big problem." ”
“......”
Mark's mouth opened slightly, and the whole person was stunned.
He already knew that the cursed relics that Hawkins had, whether it was the magical chart or the black knife, did not have this ability, but Hawkins clearly only had two curses on him, so what the hell is the ability that Hawkins is showing now?
Spell masters are accustomed to seeing all mysterious and magical events as the effect of cursed relics, but now Mark clearly understands that Hawkins' ability is not caused by cursed relics, so his thoughts are even more messy.
If you don't leave home, you don't know the size of heaven and earth.
Mark watched Hawkins install a prosthetic eye, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and asked, "Captain, how did you do that?"
"It's complicated to say, I'll explain it to you when I have time. Hawkins fitted the prosthetic eye and found that the prosthetic eye actually provided vision.
However, under the vision of the prosthetic eye, there is a lot of light in the captain's room.
Mark's whole body glowed green, while the charts glowed orange, and the cursed relics in the wooden box also glowed in different colors, with the Meteor Hammer emitting the most blazing red light.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Hawkins looked at the black knife, which was still unpretentious, with only a thin layer of black gas covering the blade.
When the prosthetic eye ability took effect, his consciousness continued to have an influx of external information, but all this information was intercepted by him, he thought about it and programmed it in his consciousness, and then connected the external information into the program he had written, and in a moment a frame appeared in his eyes.
He looked at the black knife, and the text immediately appeared in the frame:
[Ancient Black Knife] ability: Forever. Curse: The wearer's bad luck is suppressed by the Black Knife and released at a fixed time each month.
Hawkins' eyes widened gradually, as if he saw something uncanny.
As we all know, the universe is always in a state of entropy increase, and even the occasional decrease in entropy does not affect the final result, that is, the heat death of the universe.
Hawkins escaped from a universe that had entered heat death, so he knew better than anyone the ultimate fate of the universe.
He had thought that this universe would be the same, but the power of the black knife made him have a series of doubts.
Eternal is just two words, but thinking of the characteristics of the black knife itself, such as not absorbing heat, dissipating heat, not conducting electricity, and being unable to damage, Hawkins thought of the essence of these characteristics.
And since there is an eternal black sword, will there still be an eternal white sword, or an eternal world?
"Cursed Relic...... More amazing than I could have imagined. ”
"It seems necessary to take a trip to the Delirium Realm to see what is going on in that world. ”
"What if...... If there's a 1 in 10,000 chance, I'm going to give it a shot anyway......"
Hawkins quickly calmed down, his brain went into overclocking, and although he had lived countless years, he was not without desire.
As long as he is a human being, he will eventually leave a lot of regrets, and in the past, he could only comfort himself with thoughts such as "as long as they live, they can always see each other" or "they must be doing well in the parallel world".
But now he sees new hope, though he can't be sure if the cursed relic will be able to grant his wish.
He looked at Mark and asked, "I'm ready, how much refreshment powder do I need to take?"
"The three cursed relics that the captain has are not too strong, and should only require a small amount of powder. Of course, the more powder you take, the longer you stay in the delirious realm, and the more benefits you will receive, but the more dangerous it will be. Mark replied immediately.
Hawkins didn't know what was going on in the delusional realm, so he was cautious and chose the normal portions.
