Chapter 279: The Dragoon's House and the Lockpicker
[You release the Scout Beetle, which burrows into the crevice under the tavern floor and swims down the ground.] γ
[Nearby voices begin to reach your ears little by little, and you try to discern the useful information in it......]
[The day before yesterday, the Rocke Pirate Group and the Twenmar family caught fire on the high seas near Tangi Island, because the Rogue Pirate Group robbed the sea caravan belonging to the Twinmar family......]
β¦β¦
[Today, a new mysterious force broke into the sea of evil spirits, and defeated many small and medium-sized forces such as the Temple Pirate Group and the Hephi Pirate Group along the way, and its strength is strong, according to the pirates who escaped by luck, this ship is full of undead, and the appearance of the ship seems to be somewhat similar to the ghost that disappeared seven hundred years ago......]
β¦β¦
[The monster thief Van Lun Justin, who has been rewarded by the King Octopus for many years, was arrested in a pre-emptive theft yesterday, and has now been sent to the bottom of the undersea prison, and it is said that he will endure life imprisonment and never-ending torture in the future, and the bounty hunter Fody Keqin has received a bounty of 7,500 years of life......]
β¦β¦
[Recently, many strange ships and personnel have frequently appeared in the Evil Spirit Sea, it is rumored that because some major events are about to happen in the world of fools, the spearhead has been guided to the evil spirit sea area, according to the analysis of relevant intelligence personnel, the number of strangers who come to the evil spirit sea area will continue to increase in the near future, and it is a good opportunity for the major pirate groups to make a big profit......]
β¦β¦
Most of the information that pops up in the text is useless, and occasionally you can come across some valuable information, but almost nothing can be used immediately. Remember the URL
Mu You was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
After waiting for an hour or so, when the food in front of the three of them had already been cleaned up, he finally waited for a piece of information of interest.
[The Dragoon Pirates, one of the four major pirate forces in the Evil Spirit Sea, the son of the captain 'Dragon Knight' Finn Tyron, was sentenced to 100 years in prison by the Octopus King for burning down the gambling house opened by the octopus king Zubac last month, and has now been sent to an undersea prison. It is said that Finn is secretly gathering talented people to escape from the prison to help his son escape from the undersea prison, and if he can successfully rescue his son, he will give him a precious dragon training stone as a reward......]
How to train your dragon?
It is mainly this word that attracts Mu You.
He still has two dragon eggs in his hand that have not hatched, just because there is no means to tame dragons, and the dragon taming stone here is a stone specially used to tame dragons?
Mu You clicked on the text of 'How to Train Your Dragon Stone'.
Instructions immediately pop up below.
[Dragon Stone: A magical stone dedicated to taming dragons, incinerated from the fossils of ancient dragons, dripping blood on the dragon stone, and then feeding the dragon stone to a dragon to eat, then the dragon can make the dragon have a natural affinity for the breath of the blood owner, so as to easily achieve the dragon taming effect, each stone can only absorb one blood, and each person can only tame one dragon at most, otherwise the dragons will attack each other. It became extinct a thousand years ago, and only a handful of dragon trainer descendants have inherited a very small number of dragon training stones, each one of which is extremely precious. γ
"It's really a dragon thing......
Mu You became more interested after reading the instructions, this stone would be very useful if he could get it.
Of course, this task is also very risky.
Mu You has a map of the undersea prison, but he still doesn't know how tightly defended the so-called undersea prison is.
Moreover, the undersea prison is the territory of the octopus king, and going to the undersea prison to help people escape from prison is equivalent to going against the octopus king, and it will be very troublesome if it is discovered.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu You still decided to meet this 'dragon knight' first, at least to confirm whether this mission was real.
There is still some time difference between the Evil Spirit Sea and K City, and it is already late at night on the side of the Evil Spirit Sea at this time, and after the most lively time, the guests in the tavern gradually disperse, and it is difficult to gather more information if they stay.
Mu You left the tavern with the panda and the mermaid, but instead of going directly to the station of the Dragoon Pirates, he went to the beach first, put a teleportation array under the water, and teleported to the dwarven blacksmith.
Calculate the time, and the repair of the synthesis furnace should be completed at this point.
[I came to the blacksmith shop at the bottom of the Misty Mountain, and the clanging sound of work inside had stopped. γ
[The dwarven blacksmith sat by the door drinking, looking drunk, but after seeing you, he still warmly greeted you into the door. γ
[Following the dwarf's guidance, you see the crafting furnace located on the workbench, and the cracks on the surface of the furnace have been repaired as before.] In addition, there is a silver metal ball in a glass next to the crafting furnace. γ
[The blacksmith told you that in the process of repairing the synthesis furnace, the cold iron essence has not been completely consumed, and there is still about a third left, you can choose to use it to continue to build equipment, or send the iron essence back to the snow mountain to re-cultivate. γ
There is a lot of iron essence left, Mu You thought about it, there is really no special equipment that needs to be built for the time being, it is better to send it back to the snow mountain to raise it first, and then pick it up when there is a need in the future.
After this, Mu You first checked the restored stove.
[Synthesis Furnace: Hide relics, which can combine multiple items into one higher quality item.] γ
γExisting Formula:
Six pieces of equipment of the same quality are combined into a random piece of equipment of one higher quality, and during the synthesis process, there is a chance to attach an ice-related entry to the equipment.
Three potions of the same quality are combined into one of the next level of quality.
Six potions of the same quality will be combined into a higher grade potion with a 50% chance of being combined into a higher grade potion, and a 50% chance of being combined into a higher grade potion of the same quality.
The crafting time is 4 hours, and it can hold up to rare quality items. γ
"Huh?"
Mu You was surprised after reading it.
This synthesis furnace has not only been repaired, but also has a lot of changes in its properties.
First of all, the most conspicuous thing is the synthesis time, which originally took 24 hours, and only one thing could be combined a day, but now it only takes 4 hours, and six pieces of equipment can be combined in a day, which greatly improves the efficiency!
The second is the formula.
The crafting recipe of the first piece of equipment itself remains the same, but at the end, there is an additional attribute of 'Chance to attach an ice entry'.
Although it is not specified what the specific trigger probability is, this is undoubtedly a positive improvement.
In addition, a new potion recipe has been added to the recipe.
The original potion recipe was three bottles of the same type of potion to synthesize high-quality potions, for example, three bottles of ordinary evolution potions could be used to synthesize a bottle of refined evolution potion.
However, the new recipe can put six bottles of the same potion at a time, and finally has a chance to produce a two-level higher quality potion!
If you do a simple calculation, let's say there are 12 bottles of ordinary quality potions, and you can synthesize four bottles of Refined Potions, or one bottle of Refined Potions + one Rare Potion with the original recipe.
With the new recipe, 12 bottles can be crafted twice, assuming that the higher level and the higher two levels are triggered once, and the final result is also a bottle of Fine and a bottle of Rare.
Therefore, from the perspective of expectation alone, the consumption-output ratio of the two formulations is the same.
However, the biggest point about jumping two levels at a time is that there's now a chance to produce Legendary Potions!
Because the Crafting Furnace can only hold rare items at most, with the original recipe, it can only synthesize epic potions at the most.
And now, if you put down six rare potions at once, there is a 50% chance that you will end up crafting a legendary potion!
Mu You had never seen any Legendary-level potions yet. According to Vivien, if a legendary-level potion wants to be directly refined through alchemy, it is as difficult as reaching the sky, and it is as strong as her level, and it can only refine a legendary-level potion of the third order and below, and the highest potion above can only be refined at the epic level.
And after having a synthesis furnace, as long as he is given a sufficient number of low-level potions, he can synthesize legendary potions all the way up, not to mention whether it is worth it or not, at least let him have a way to produce legendary potions stably.
Click on the text to extract the synthesis furnace, Mu You took the furnace into the lock cylinder space, put a bottle of ordinary evolution potion in all six slots inside, closed the lid and began to synthesize.
Now that he is level fourteen, it is time to prepare for the evolution of level 15.
When he was level 10, because his refining level was not enough at that time, he finally took the Elite level potion, and only enjoyed an additional 5% bonus.
However, now that his refining strength has greatly increased, and he has a sharp weapon like a synthesis furnace, it is necessary to stack additional special effects to the maximum for the next evolution.
The Elite Potion increases the effect of each of the two tiers by an additional 5%, and each level of quality increases by 5%, which is 10% for Rare, 15% for Epic, and 20% for Legendary.
The upper limit of each tier buff is an additional 100% increase in attack and an additional 50% reduction in damage.
In other words, if you take 5 bottles of Rare Potions at level 15, you will be able to increase the damage reduction effect to the maximum.
But if you want to maximize the effects of both buffs at the same time, the rarity level is not enough, you need 5 bottles of Legendary Potion!
"Five bottles of Legends, based on the expectation that 12 bottles of Legends will produce one bottle of Legends, a total of 60 bottles of Rare Potions are required, which is equal to 180 bottles of Refined Potion, or 540 bottles of Normal Potion...... Tsk......"
When Mu You counted out this number, he couldn't help but sigh, if he wanted to achieve perfect evolution, the price was really big enough.
Fortunately, there is a steady stream of people sending him materials every day to ask him to refine medicines, and now the remaining medicinal materials and potions in his hands are combined, and five bottles of legendary potions are almost enough.
After taking care of the synthesis furnace, Mu You returned to the game, said goodbye to the blacksmith, and teleported back to Nax Island.
He's going to find the captain of the Dragoon Pirates now.
This pirate group seems to be one of the four major pirate groups, and it is naturally not difficult to find such a famous figure.
Mu You casually found someone on the island to ask for directions, exchanged his life for information, and easily bought (white prostitution) the other party's station information.
[You came to the 26th district of Nax Island, searched all the way along the coast, and soon found a castle called 'Dragoon House'. γ
The main island of Nax is divided into 36 districts, and this dragon riding pirate group is located in the 26th district near the coast, and it is said that the entire 26 districts are entrusted by the octopus king to the dragon knight Finn to manage.
Being able to build a castle on the territory of the Octopus King shows the high status of this pirate group in the Evil Spirit Sea.
[You came to the gate of the 'Dragoon House', and were stopped by two gatekeepers dressed as pirates, who questioned your identity in an unkind tone!] ...... you choose]
[You tell the other party that you are a 'lockpicking master', and I just heard that Dragon Knight Finn is recruiting experts in prison breaking, so I recommend myself. γ
[After listening to this, the two janitors look at you with doubts in their eyes, but one of them still goes in and makes a report.] γ
[After a few moments, the messenger came out the door and told you that their captain agreed to you and let you go in with him.] γ
You follow the janitor into the Dragoon's house and into a dark and empty hall. γ
[A large number of pirates suddenly came out on both sides of the hall, each armed with muskets and swords, looking at you menacingly, forming a circle in the hall, faintly surrounding you. γ
[At the front of the hall, a figure quietly appeared, it was a one-eyed pirate wearing a captain's hat, sitting on a throne deep in the hall. Through the night vision, you notice that behind the pirate, there is a black dragon lying on its stomach. γ
[This is a black dragon with a length of more than ten meters, resting with its eyes closed. Noticing movement in the hall, the dragon opens one eye and looks at you with its massive amber pupils, its claws lightly resting on the ground in front of it, easily cutting deep marks into the delicate marble floor. γ
[The one-eyed pirate gets up and strokes the scales on the black dragon's neck.] The black dragon closed his eyes again under his reassurance, and a snoring sound of enjoyment came out of his throat. γ
[The one-eyed pirate looks at you and says, "Young man, I heard that you call yourself a master lockpicker?" βγ
Mu You looked at it with the omniscient crystal, this one-eyed pirate is the leader of this pirate group, 'Dragon Knight' Finn Tyron, the level is as high as level 23, and looking at the text, he really tamed a black dragon!
[You nodded to indicate that he was right, for ordinary locks, you can 100% unlock the lock.] γ
"Do you know the consequences of deceiving me? Finn stares at you, exuding an air of non-anger and self-esteem. γ
The text box popped up, and Mu You typed: "I can probably guess." β
[You can probably guess that once you can't prove your strength, you will be severely beaten by the pirates present, and then thrown into the sea to sink your corpse, in this dragon riding home, the rules of the Octopus King can't save you.] γ
[You know this, but you still stand firmly in place, without a trace of wavering. γ
[Finn's momentum was somewhat restrained, and he beckoned to the side, and several pirates on the side immediately sent five different styles of magic locks to you. γ
["Young man, you only have three attempts at each lock, now, show your abilities. Finn said. γ
Mu You clicked on the five locks and checked them, the lock levels are arranged in order from weak to strong, and the success rate of unlocking is 9%, 2.1%, 0.9%, 0.2%, and 0.05% respectively.
[You reach out and head towards the first lock, releasing the 'Lock Heart Opening'.] γ
['Click', the first lock has been opened by you!] γ
The first lock was the most rudimentary kind of lock, and Mu You only went back three times before he easily unlocked it.
Hold the pocket watch, Mu You continued.
['Click', the second lock is opened by you!] γ
β¦β¦
['Click', the third lock is opened by you!] γ
β¦β¦
With a pocket watch in hand, as long as the probability of unlocking this thing is not zero, he will definitely be able to open it, it's just a matter of how many times.
Today's luck was not bad, even the most difficult fifth lock only took more than 200 times to unlock.
Of course, from someone else's point of view, all locks are a success.
[Five snapping sounds echo through the hall.] After witnessing your superb lockpicking skills, the hall suddenly fell silent, and all the pirates looked at you in disbelief. γ
[At the top of the hall, Finn looked at the five locks that had been opened once, and his face was also moved, and then he looked at your gaze, as if he saw a master key. γ
["Young man, are you interested in joining our Dragoon Pirates? "Finn has sent you a formal invitation. ...... you choose]
[You refused, you are not interested in pirates, and you are only here today to discuss cooperation. γ
[You have shown your ability, and now it is the other party's turn to take a stand. γ
[Finn regrets not being able to recruit you, but he doesn't force it, but he is still skeptical of your suggestion that you want to help his son escape from prison alone.] γ
[Finn tells you that your lockpicking ability is very strong, but the defense of the undersea prison is not as simple as you think. There are only two ways to enter an undersea prison, one is to pay for a visit, and the other is to be caught for committing a crime. γ
[Either way, you will be handcuffed with a pair of addiction handcuffs when you enter, which will make you unable to use magic, therefore, your lock-picking skills cannot be used in the undersea prison.] γ
"Handcuffs ......"
Mu You touched his chin.
The handcuffs that can ban the demons, this is indeed more troublesome, but whether the demons are forbidden here is black magic or white magic, and it is not explained, what the specific situation is, I'm afraid he can only know if he goes in person.
[You tell Finn that even so, you still want to try.] However, the remuneration needs to be changed. γ
["Oh? What do you want to be paid for? Finn asks about your intentions. γ
[You tell the other party that if you successfully rescue his son, in addition to the original dragon training stone, you need to hire their pirates for free for a day.] γ
Mu You entered his own requirements, Dragon Trainer Stone is only one aspect, he found this pirate group, the more important purpose is to borrow their power to fight against the power of the Son of Heaven.
[Finn looked at you in some surprise, and after thinking about it, he agreed to your conditions, but the premise is that what you hired them to do, they can't let the pirates die or suffer large-scale damage, otherwise they have the right to retreat on their own.] ...... you choose]
You agreed to his terms. γ
Mu You just asked them to help resist and block the forces of the Son of Heaven, and the players are more desperate than the pirates, and they won't really work hard.
[You both reached an agreement and signed a temporary contract with each other. γ
[You need to rescue Finn's son within seven days, if you can't do it, the contract will be automatically annulled.] γ
[When you meet the conditions, the other party will pay you 'Dragon Trainer Stone'*1 and accept your command for one day.] γ
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Mu You walked out of the Dragoon House and came to the commercial street of Nax Island.
The contract with Finn was only seven days, and now he had to find a way to get into the prison as soon as possible to find out what was going on in the prison.
It's not hard to get into prison, there are a lot of rules and regulations on this island, and you can be sent to prison if you do anything out of the ordinary.
[You are walking alone on the bustling commercial street, and suddenly you see a bald pirate covered in tattoos in front of you, passing by with drunken figure-eight steps, and seeing you dressed as a foreigner, you sneered: "Poor and sour hillbilly ......"]
[You pass by and deliberately bump into the pirate.] γ
[The drunken pirate is knocked down by you, and immediately becomes furious, gets up and pushes you to the ground, and launches a series of nasty greetings and threats at you. γ
γ...... you chooseγ
[You chose to beat the other party violently!] γ
