Chapter 210 Poseidon's Trident (Two in One Chapter)
Old Gibbs gave full play to the pirate's shameless spirit, and shamelessly ordered a glass of rum.
There is wine, there are gold coins, so there are stories.
Old Gibbs spoke slowly.
"We have crossed mountains and seas under the leadership of Captain Jack."
"Oh, the boat we used to be, it's a charming lady, you've never seen a boat in your life that can throw all boats behind its ass, and anyone and any boat in front of it can only look at the black. Lady Pearl's stunning and sexy ass."
Yi Lin asked curiously, "Where is that ship?"
Old Gibbs shrugged helplessly: "Shen slightly."
Yi Lin: "..."
"Ah, we have reached the abyss of Davy Jones, brought Captain Jack back from the dead, believe me, it is an adventure story that you can never imagine in your life."
"Davy Jones?"
"Oh, that poor octopus is dead too, hehe."
Yi Lin: "..."
"We crossed the Caribbean Sea and defeated the legendary Blackbeard. Damn, that damned Blackbeard is a man with black magic. In front of him, Captain Jack is as fragile as a woman on Tetuga Island. Hehe, But Blackbeard finally died, before the Fountain of Youth."
"Old Gibbs bets Blackbeard is in hell right now, definitely still cursing Captain Jack for a good death."
"Why?"
"Because that poor black beard lost his own daughter to Captain Jack's bed."
Yi Lin: "..."
Old Gibbs talked more and more vigorously. After all, it had been a long time since no one sat quietly across from him and listened to his bragging.
This feeling, ah, is memorable.
Old Gibbs took another swig of his rum.
He suddenly felt that something was missing.
Yo, by the way, it's a look of admiration.
He was clearly talking about the adventurous career of a legendary pirate, and the brat in front of him should of course show an expression of admiration. Could it be that old Gibbs' storytelling level is not deep enough?
Think about it.
Old Gibbs recalled one more incident.
"I remember back then, Captain Jack offended more than half of the people in the Caribbean Sea. Whether it was undead or ghost ships, they were all offended by Captain Jack. Finally, one day, a damned undead led an army and came back to trouble Captain Jack... Hey, I bet you have never seen what is called undead."
"Oh, it's okay, I've seen a lot, you go on."
Old Gibbs: "...cough cough cough cough!"
The strong rum was accidentally choked into his lungs, and old Gibbs coughed for a long time before he looked at the young man in front of him with a strange look.
Boy, you blow up your awesomeness all at once, making it difficult for the old man to continue blowing it up!
Do you understand what it means to leave room?
Do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young?
Do you understand what humility is?
Gibbs was a little annoyed.
Ding!
Yi Lin shook her head with a smile, flipped her palm, and another gold coin fell on the table.
Gibbs had a happy expression, and he was inspired instantly, and continued to say: "Old Gibbs still remembers that day, when the sky fell apart, the sea split, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the stars fell... Oh, that kind of scenery, I dare Bet, you have never seen it... We found the legendary Poseidon's trident at the end of the stars."
"Then what?"
"It was broken by the captain. Moreover, an old guy also died there."
Old Gibbs didn't know what to think of, and facing the empty void, he raised his glass, then raised his head and drank it down.
Finished another glass.
Yi Lin combined old Gibbs' fragmented story with the information he had collected so far, and asked a question: "But didn't I hear that the trident was glued together?"
Old Gibbs suddenly approached mysteriously and waved at Yi Lin.
Although Yi Lin found this pretentiously mysterious gesture a bit funny, in order to satisfy the pleasure of old Gibbs' pretentiousness, Yi Lin obediently put on a curious baby's expression and moved her head closer.
Old Gibbs lowered his voice.
"Let me tell you a secret. Few people in this sea know about it. In fact, it was Captain Jack who glued the trident back together, hehehe——"
"Oh why?"
"Because..." Old Gibbs hiccupped: "One of the things that Captain Jack regrets the most in his life is releasing a cunning guy from the human body, so, to make up for it, the old Captain Jack himself I sailed, found the fragments of the trident, and sealed that cunning guy in the sea with the glued Seagod Trident..."
"Hey hey, that cunning guy is called Ka—"
Before Old Gibbs could finish his words, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped a few points. Yi Lin's heart moved, and before Old Gibbs could say that name, she stretched out her hand and covered Old Gibbs' mouth.
Old Gibbs stared wide-eyed.
"Shh - I've seen that guy you're talking about."
Yi Lin still has "Calypso's gaze" on her body. Although Yi Lin can no longer feel the feeling of being peeped at on land, if old Gibbs said that name in front of Yi Lin, Yi Lin Rin was afraid that something would happen.
bang——
Snapped!
Old Gibbs's eyes were tearing apart, he stood up suddenly, overturned the stool behind him, and sat down on the ground again, his expression was full of horror.
"You, you, you... have you seen her? Are you cursed by her?"
Sure enough, old Gibbs never dared to mention that name again.
"That's right."
Unlike the panicked old Gibbs, Yi Lin's expression was very calm.
It was as if the curse was not on him.
"Could it be—" Old Gibbs didn't get up for a long time. He looked at Yi Lin with a suspicious expression on his face, but within ten seconds, he actually guessed the reason for Yi Lin's visit. With the voice of only two people, he growled Said: "No wonder! So you came to old Gibbs to find the 'Trident'! That's how it is!"
Yi Lin didn't explain too much, just took out another gold coin with a smile, and gently placed it on the table.
Old Gibbs stood up and sat down again.
But this time, he was not as anxious as before.
He stared wide-eyed at the shiny gold coin on the table, not daring to pick it up for a long time.
finally.
Old Gibbs sighed, "Unfortunately, even I, without Captain Jack, can't find the 'Trident'. No one in this world can find it!"
"Why?"
"Hey, you don't understand. In order to prevent someone from releasing her again, Captain Jack hid the trident on a small island that was not marked on the nautical chart. Only Captain Jack can find the trident!"
Old Gibbs' tone was very firm.
"What about the Captain Jack you mentioned?"
"Probably dead, and possibly having fun somewhere! Who the hell knows! Ever since old Jack and Eliza—well, oh, it's a sad story, you'd better not know."
Old Gibbs hesitated to say something, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Eliza—?
Elizabeth?
etc.
Yi Lin suddenly remembered someone from the Swan family.
Elizabeth Swan?
Judging from the tone of old Gibbs, it seems that there is a story in it?
Yi Lin silently counted the gold coins in the storage space. Even though Yi Lin was generous, his gold coins were not so rich that he couldn't throw them away.
The bloody greedy pirates!
Yi Lin was speechless.
Ignore the little gossip for now, and concentrate on digging out some useful information.
Yi Lin thought for a moment, and combined all the information, she learned that the current "Sea God Trident", which was smashed by Captain Jack and then glued together again, should be a key item that can affect the plot. If you get it in a way, whether it is for the most important customs clearance evaluation, or... in short, it is very useful.
So, Yi Lin asked unwillingly: "Since it wasn't marked on the treasure map, how could Captain Jack find the trident?"
Old Gibbs smiled: "Captain Jack is different, he is a man with a compass."
"compass?"
When Yi Lin heard this, her expression became weird instantly.
"Yes, Captain Jack's compass is different from ordinary compasses. That magical compass can point to the most desired treasure. Those legendary adventure stories all rely on Captain Jack's compass...Huh? Damn rum, Old Gibbs seems drunk?"
Old Gibbs stared at the familiar little object in Yi Lin's palm, and subconsciously rubbed his sleepy drunken eyes. No, he rubbed again, and rubbed again, almost bleeding out. The compass, which was exactly the same as in memory, unexpectedly Still in Yi Lin's hands, standing still.
"That compass!"
Old Gibbs' breathing was stagnant, his expression froze, his old hand broke out with amazing agility, and he snatched the compass from Yi Lin's hand in one fell swoop.
The moment the compass changed hands, the pointer on the compass spun crazily and never stopped.
"Why is this compass in your hand?"
Yi Lin didn't know how to explain the origin of this compass for a while.
He always thought it was a bit of a coincidence.
Captain Jack who runs through the past of this world.
Xiao Sa with a compass.
The old Gibbs who used to follow Captain Jack on his adventures.
"Is it because of Elizabeth Rin?"
The corner of Yi Lin's mouth twitched slightly, secretly complaining in her heart.
How much hatred and hatred is this?
The love and hatred of generations of Three Lives and Seven Generations?
It's too bloody, right?
So this is the reason why the role-playing mode must be adopted in the story mode this time?
He just put on the vest of "Elizabeth Rin", could it be because of his unlucky luck?
Yi Lin finally did not explain the origin of the compass for the time being.
After all, Xiao Sa and old Gibbs will meet sooner or later.
Under the shocked expression of old Gibbs, Yi Lin quickly snatched back the compass and put it back in the storage space.
This is a key prop, and it cannot be lost.
"I'm building a ship."
Erin smiled slightly.
"no way!"
Old Gibbs understood Yi Lin's meaning in an instant, and shook his head like a breaking drum. Yi Lin was still worried that Old Gibbs shook his head too violently, and what to do if his cervical spine slipped off.
Yi Lin calmly took out another gold coin.
Old Gibbs gritted his teeth with a firm expression on his face: "Impossible! I've quit being a pirate a long time ago! I want to live a few more years!"
Yi Lin remained silent, and took out another one.
Old Gibbs began to struggle, unable to take his eyes off the pile of gold coins.
Another one.
"..."
Another one.
"But……"
And another.
"Oh, my honorable captain, old experienced Gibbs, at your service!"
Old Gibbs quickly put away the wad of gold coins and grinned.
after leaving.
Ruth couldn't help asking: "Do you really believe that old guy will take us to find...'Trident'?"
Not long ago, Yi Lin didn't hide from Ruth either, and told Ruth most of the conversations she had with old Gibbs.
After all, Ruth will play a very important role in Yi Lin's next plan.
You have to find a way to increase Ruth's loyalty a little bit.
On the street, the two of them didn't dare to talk too much about private topics, so they returned to Swann Castle as fast as they could.
It was late at night.
After staying up for two consecutive nights, Yi Lin felt that her skin had deteriorated a lot, and she didn't bother to wear it. Under the service of the servants, Yi Lin took a comfortable hot bath and lay down on a clean bed early. , fell into a deep sleep.
the next day.
Another sun rises three poles.
Only then did Yi Lin discuss the next plan with Ruth.
"etc!"
Ruth's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief: "Oh, my dear Rin, you must be joking."
Yi Lin shook her head with a solemn expression: "I'm not joking, this matter is very important, and I can rest assured only if you do it."
"Ah!" Ruth became inexplicably arrogant: "Rin, even if you praise me so much, I won't be happy!"
"..."
This arrogant expression almost made Yi Lin blurt out three words: What the hell are you——
Yi Lin glanced at Wang Tiandi.
Ruth understood instantly, and also looked at Wang Tiandi who was lying on the ground gnawing his bones.
The two instantly understood the essence of the plan with a tacit understanding.
Ruth understood it, but she still hesitated: "But, there is no nautical chart, no route, and old Gibbs also said that he doesn't know where the thing he is looking for is at all."
"hehe."
Yi Lin smiled slightly, and took out [Congxin's Compass] from the storage space.
Then stuffed it into Ruth's hand.
The moment Ruth saw the compass, she suddenly felt familiar. After a while, Ruth also recognized it: "Huh? Isn't this the compass of Sachs? Why is it in your hand?"
"I'm a brilliant and charming pirate."
Ruth: "..."
After Ruth held the compass, the pointer on the compass was erratic and could not point to the correct direction at all.
"Is this compass broken?"
Ruth knocked dejectedly a few times.
"No, that's not what the compass is for."
Yi Lin explained to Ruth with a smile: "There seems to be some kind of black magic on this compass. It doesn't point to the direction, but the person holding the compass, the most desired existence in your heart. You seriously think about the 'Sea God Trident', You should be able to use a compass to find the right direction."
So magical?
Ruth was also amazed at the mystery of the compass.
No nonsense, Ruth quickly closed her eyes and tried to use this compass from her heart.
"eager--"
"Hmm~"
"The desire in my heart~"
Ruth murmured.
on the compass.
The pointer trembled violently, and then turned wildly, as if reflecting Ruth's inner swaying from the side.
finally.
The rotating needle on the compass finally stopped and pointed in a certain direction without moving.
"Um?"
Yi Lin suddenly realized that the pointer on the compass was pointing at her.
"The direction behind me?"
Yi Lin changed positions.
The pointer on the compass slowly moved again, pointing to Elizabeth Lin again.
Yi Lin: "..."
Ruth: "..."
five minutes later.
Yi Lin slowly circled Ruth five times.
He was finally sure that the key to the plan, Ruth's desire, was a little off.
The difference lies in the word "desire".
[Compass from the heart], as the description says, it must really be a "deep desire" in order to trigger the effect of the compass.
Desires that just stay on the surface level of consciousness don't count.
Just like when she was in the vast ocean back then, Yi Lin tried her best to think about Ruth's proficient techniques, which could almost be regarded as self-hypnosis, and then used the compass to locate Ruth's location.
But this method requires a certain level of willpower. According to Yi Lin's estimation, Ruth's sloppy personality cannot replicate Yi Lin's psychological journey when she first found Ruth.
"what to do?"
He remembered the deal with Calypso and started to have a headache.
If he went to the sea to look for it himself, he would definitely not be able to hide from Calypso's prying eyes.
Only out of the sea, completely out of Yi Lin's sight, let Ruth and Gouzi go out to sea alone, and operate with two lines, can it be possible to avoid Calypso's prying eyes.
It is speculated from various clues that Yilin is now 80% sure that Calypso is not a real "God", otherwise it would not be possible to be sealed in the sea by the "Trident" and become one with the sea. completely isolated.
Huh!
etc!
Yi Lin suddenly had an idea and thought of a way.
So when Ruth was playing with the compass, Yi Lin asked Ruth to close her eyes again.
"Relax...relax...sink your dantian..."
Ruth: "?"
"In short, just relax and don't think about it."
Seeing that Ruth's expression gradually became blurred, Yi Lin lay beside Ruth's ear, and said slowly in a sleepy tone.
"Luth, there is a curse on you, as long as it is a man who is intimate with you, it will die a good death."
"Um……"
Ruth was speechless, don't you know about the old lady? Do you need to speak out to hurt your heart?
"You may not know that this Trident of the Sea God is the source of all curses on the sea. The reason why you are infected with this damned curse is because the broken trident was later glued together again, so everyone The Curse of the Sea has just been revived, and it seems to be getting more terrifying."
Fuck?
A thought suddenly crossed Ruth's mind.
But Yi Lin didn't give Ruth any time to think, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Think about it carefully, what you really desire is not just an Elizabeth Rin, your goal is a beautiful man in the world, what you really desire is a Vigorous tossing and turning, sleepless love all night long..."
"Acridine~" Ruth's breath was stagnant, and under Yi Lin's guidance, she somehow thought of some unsuitable picture, her cheeks were flushed, like big ripe apples.
"So!" Yi Lin's voice suddenly became high.
"As long as you find the Sea God's Trident, you can lift the curse on your body. From then on, you can sleep wherever you want, and whoever you want. Isn't it very happy?"
Yes!
Ruth kept her eyes closed though.
But after Yi Lin finished speaking, there was a bang in her mind, like a latrine suddenly opened, suddenly enlightened and bright.
As long as the curse is lifted, the old lady can sleep with whoever she wants? Use whatever posture you want? Come from any angle you want?
Absolutely true!
in an instant.
The compass tightly held in Ruth's hand, the pointer turned wildly again, and finally stopped completely in a certain direction.
Yi Lin moved her butt quietly and changed several positions.
Seeing that the pointer was pointing without shaking at all, Yi Lin was completely relieved.
Finally, it's done!
...
...
Yi Lin started to work again.
Counting the time with your fingers, the deadline for the second main task is getting closer.
Although the punishment was not as exaggerated as direct obliteration, Yi Lin habitually tried her best and was unwilling to be defeated in the mere second main quest.
The structure of the whole plot trial, in front of Yi Lin, is already like a shy girl who has lifted the veil, and her thinking becomes clearer.
Perhaps it's because of the trial in the other world this time, the map is too vast, Yi Lin has been busy exploring the plot, but has little interaction with other apostles.
The only people Yi Lin has come into contact with so far are Gu Tianqing and Wang Tiandi.
The other two apostles seemed to be still dangling in the sea, happily counting points.
It's a pity that there is no list similar to the "Reputation List" for this mission. Apart from asking around for information, or guessing from the changes in the bounty, Yi Lin has no other way to speculate about the other two from the side. The actions of a "pirate ally".
"Heh, this trial is a bit lonely."
Yi Lin has long been used to intrigue with each other at the beginning of the game, and even started fighting. Suddenly, such a lonely journey came, which made Yi Lin feel a little uncomfortable.
But the apostle is such a kind of creature, traveling all over the world, going through vicissitudes of life, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, each mission has a different style and method, Yilin II relived, and never encountered the same inner world , it can be seen from this.
If you don't adapt to this rhythm, it may be a good thing to eliminate it early.
And at this time.
Yi Lin was wearing gorgeous women's clothing, leisurely enjoying a quiet afternoon tea in the courtyard of the castle with "Elizabeth Rin's father" Old Swan, basking in the sun.
——Hot black tea, the kind with handmade delicate pastries.
Although the Swan family is in decline, the aristocratic background is still there, enough for the family to enjoy a luxurious life.
In addition, Elizabeth Lin has become the governor's fiancée, it seems that I heard that in some business aspects of the Swan family, many other families have begun to curry favor with each other.
From the smile that could not be concealed on the old Swan's face, Yi Lin roughly deduced that the old Swan was very proud recently, smiling foolishly all day long, as if he had been dreaming of the revitalization of the Swan family.
Yi Lin lowered her head gracefully, sipping her black tea and taking small bites of pastries.
"My daughter, thank you for your hard work."
Old Swan suddenly said this, with a look of emotion.
Yi Lin kept smiling, followed what old Swan said, and asked softly, "Have you made a lot of money recently?"
It is a strange thing to say that there is no other family to curry favor with the Swann family, who is about to rely on the Governor of the Navy.
Old Swan's expression was embarrassing: "It's okay, it's okay, oh, my baby, you know, for a real noble, money is never too much."
Yi Lin was silent for a moment.
Then he said casually: "Oh, damn, I almost forgot, a very important thing."
Old Swan: "?"
"A lot of pirates have appeared in the city recently. I heard that even the legendary 'skeleton gentleman' has appeared."
Old Swan's expression was calm: "Don't worry, London is heavily guarded, my good daughter, don't worry, your future husband will never let you be taken away by the damn pirates again."
Yi Lin shook her head: "I'm worried about the property of the Swan family!"
Old Swan was also taken aback: "What are you afraid of, pirates are not only at sea..."
Yi Lin interrupted old Swan: "But I heard that everyone knows that pirates are good at robbing banks in strange ways, let alone the treasure house of a mere family."
hiss--
Old Swan suddenly gasped.
Yi Lin said again: "Swan's property should be well hidden, right?"
"Well, my dear daughter, don't worry, our family's treasure is hidden very secretly. It is in the third room on the right hand side of the corridor on the second floor of the basement, on the bookshelf on the left hand side, the second row from top to bottom, the first Three books, "How To Get Richer" (how to become richer), press down to open the secret door!"
Old Swan proudly took out a key made of pure gold from his collar: "Besides, the only key to the secret door is hidden by my father. No one can guess how to enter the treasure room of Swan's house. Hey! Even if it's a damned pirate!"
Yi Lin smiled happily: "Well, damn pirate."
