Chapter 1079 1077 The Most Dangerous Place Is the Safest Place, so It Should Be Safe for Me to Test the Edge of Danger
Chapter 1079 1077. The most dangerous place is the safest place, so it’s probably safe for me to test on the edge of danger.
"In other words, the alien mechanical masters will also gain the power to participate in the restart of the Creator's legacy? And we need to hand over those important items that have been shut down to them to try to repair? Is this really the Creator's oracle?
Your Mightiness. "
In a luxurious living room in the Green Palace, the gorgeous Princess Fulier played with her golden scepter. After listening carefully to Murphy's description, she frowned and said:
"It's not that I don't believe in the foreign friends who walk with us under the light of the Creator, but whether the Creator's legacy can be successfully restarted is related to the present and future of the empire. This kind of thing is not something I can decide and must be reported to my father."
"Of course, I don't ask the Songhai people to be generous with their treasures. This is disgraceful behavior."
Murphy nodded and said:
"Please report to the Pharaoh. By the way, inform the Pharaoh that my foreign scholars have successfully restarted a power armor under the Creator."
"?!"
These words made the Princess of Sand Sea across from her and Priest Bertinos standing next to her immediately widen their eyes.
Since the creators regained their power, the most elite mechanics of the Songhai Empire have been working hard to restart those suspended relics, but let alone restarting the power armor, they have been extremely slow to repair even the simpler Creator weapons.
For example, there is still an ultra-advanced automatic machine tool that has not been started in the Port of Origin. The princess and her fiancé were instantly shocked when they heard the outstanding results accomplished by the foreigners.
"Are you sure?"
Priest Bodinos asked with a serious expression:
"It's not that I don't believe you, Your Majesty, but Your Highness and I need to see it with our own eyes."
"Of course. Among the several airships that came with us, you two can go check it out at any time."
Murphy waved his hand with a smile and said:
"I am not deliberately irritating the senior officials of the Songhai Empire with this matter. I am just requesting cooperation on behalf of the foreign scholars. Only by working together can both parties restore the heritage in the hands of the Songhai people as quickly as possible. Both parties can learn valuable knowledge from this process.
This is cooperation and win-win.
Of course, my scholars will also show their strength to the empire by repairing the relics of the Creator that exist near the Port of Origin. Although the Transians are naturally wild, they also know how to be humble.
We will not make further requests until the Pharaoh sees the skills of the foreigners with his own eyes, but if it is confirmed that the cooperation between the two parties can be promoted, then we hope to get at least one solar ship as a sample to try and learn from.
But don't worry.
If we can repair the Sun Ship, then we will share the full set of repair methods with the Songhai Empire.
This is a promise from me! "
Princess Fulier did not respond immediately.
After all, it was not something she could decide alone when it came to a nationally important weapon like the Sun Ship. However, Murphy requested that foreign scholars be allowed to demonstrate their skills at the Port of Origin. Her Royal Highness definitely approved of this matter with both hands.
Although the Pharaoh has tried his best to appease the people in the country, the fact that the Creator has taken back his power is a very significant change for believers.
The citizens were therefore restless, fearing that the Songhai people were no longer loved by the Creator. In this environment, the emergence of a group of mechanics who could repair the Creator's relics could undoubtedly be regarded as a good omen.
Although Fulier is not the first successor to the Songhai Empire, as a member of the royal family, she must also consider the overall situation.
Therefore, Murphy's proposal was quickly approved. After watching Her Royal Highness the Princess and her fiancé leave the palace and secretly go to the airship to check out the repaired power armor, Murphy was finally able to use his afterlife orb to issue instructions to the players. New task points.
"We have to wait here for the arrival of the Lord and Hogg. These few days are enough for the explorers to get access to more Creator equipment at the Origin Port."
Murphy stood up and said to Tris who walked out of the palace:
"You are very familiar with this city, so can you temporarily serve as the players' mission guide in the Songhai Empire?"
"Of course, there's nothing I need to do urgently anyway."
Tris shrugged.
She also really wanted to visit the city. Murphy smiled and took Tris's hand and walked in the green palace to relax. At the same time, he switched the perspective to the blood-eating spirit vulture Thunder that was currently sinking high in the sky. From Finau's perspective, he could appreciate the scenery of the city shrouded in sunset and the great library that Tris had never forgotten from a high place.
Speaking of the Great Library of Issus, even Murphy, an "ignorant" guy, has heard of its name.
The collection of books in this largest library in the world covers most of the materials from the beginning of the Era thousands of years ago to the present. The most outrageous thing is that Songhai people are not the only ones in this library, which occupies one-sixth of the area of the port city. of classics.
The historical and humanistic classics of other races collected or copied by the Songhai people have their own storage areas in it. The continuous collection of the Songhai people for a thousand years has brought the collection of books here to an astonishing level, and these The books are well taken care of.
This creates a very darkly humorous result.
For example, if the Plantagenet Kingdom wanted to figure out the historical context of the early activities of the Sealanders, they had to send people to the Great Library of Issus to search for records.
Same thing with the Yankees.
Although the conquest of the Great Wilderness by the Hero King Boris is the most colorful epic in the history of the Yankees, the most detailed historical materials about the decades of conquest of the Great Wilderness are not in the Royal Library of Borei Castle, but in the books of the Songhay people. In the museum.
Even the legendary story of the God of the North Wind coming to give Boris the Three Holy Relics can be found in detailed records here.
Therefore, this library can be regarded as the seat of "legal system" in a certain sense. If you want to understand the historical changes of this world, you can basically find detailed records of every era in this library.
There was a short but far-reaching war between the Songhai Empire and the Elf Kingdom more than 300 years ago. As a result, the Songhai people were unable to send travelers around the continent during that period. The indirect result was the historical records of the continent during that period. Errors and omissions have occurred, making the truth of many historical events obscure.
From this point of view, the Songhai people's lofty title of "historical recorders" is not a emblem for themselves.
The racial character of the Songhai people can be seen from this large library alone. A race that is willing to spend time collecting traces of its own and other people's civilizations is absolutely impossible to become a chaotic force. They respect history and call it their creator. The teachings, this alone is enough to make Murphy's favor towards the Songhai people even higher.
However, there are problems with this library being too big.
Many areas in this library were previously managed using Creator technology. Therefore, after the Creator took back its power, the Issus Great Library has been closed until now. Songhai mechanics are doing their best to repair the library. Various devices and reclassify and manage them.
But this thing is too big and has too many books. It would be impossible to reset the management system within a few years.
The most outrageous thing is that those rare and unique books that have been properly kept are often locked in underground vaults, but now that the system is down, those books are sealed and cannot be taken out, and even forced the managers of the big library to dismantle them. part of the library building to try to bring those valuable documents back out.
Following Reifno's perspective, Murphy could clearly see that the current main body of the 100-meter-high white lighthouse-like building was surrounded by Songhay construction teams, and several smaller buildings had been demolished. Opened the ground.
It seems that these guys have quite a lot of books buried underground.
He told Tris about this with some regret. The Scarlet Witch's idea of revisiting her old place will probably have to wait for a while. At least until the rescue operation of those orphan books is completed, there is a high probability that this big library will not Visitors are admitted.
Then, this idea was ridiculed ruthlessly by Tris:
"Do you really think your girlfriend is a regular vampire? Little Murphy, there are many ways I can get into that library."
Tris snorted and said:
"I know there are six ways to bypass the guards of the Songhai people and slip into different areas of the Great Book of Issus. Speaking of which, we can treat this as an 'adventure story' and distribute it to restless players.
That library records more than just history. The Songhai people also hid in it all the classics about power they could find.
The number of secret manuals for various power systems and genres currently existing in the Old Continent is definitely beyond your imagination. If players can sneak in and copy some precious information, it will be extremely helpful for their future career development.
Especially those texts that record forbidden arts, inheritance that may have been severed in other places can find connections here.
This kind of thing was not possible at the level of players in the past. The surveillance systems left by the Creator were all over every corner of the big library. However, now is a good opportunity. "
"But if they are caught it could cause a diplomatic incident."
Murphy rubbed his chin and said:
"It sounds very risky. It is too risky for a group of clumsy warriors to do this kind of thing, so it is given to stalkers, thieves and hunters as a special task, and only players with Silver rank or above are allowed to participate.
Of course, we are not trying to be thieves, so we are only allowed to copy and read but not take away.
With the Calculation Orb to help record, this job is easy to complete. "
"Ha, you can't control their hands!"
Tris shook her head and said:
"Especially because many of the classics that record forbidden techniques are cursed, making them impossible to copy."
"I can't control it, but don't forget, the little players have now completed the 'networking' operation."
Murphy pointed to the sky and said:
"Our in-game 'Network Manager' Ms. Rose has many ways to warn them. Players are very courageous most of the time, but as long as you grasp some key points, they can also become very timid.
Give it a try.
Just find something for them to do, lest they really relax and mess around in the Origin Port and cause more trouble. "
"Okay, then I will go to the big library tonight to recall the prosperous years of the past, as a 'teaching guide' for the players."
Tris brushed her long hair, kissed Murphy on the cheek, then spread her wings and flew out of the palace, towards the hotel where the players were.
After his girlfriend left, Murphy looked back at the shadow shrouded in the sunset behind him and said:
"Why are you hiding there? You are no longer wanted, so you don't need to be so cautious, right?"
"Oh, I'm used to it. After all, I have been chased by the ferocious Songhay people for more than a hundred years. I have been caught by them several times. The most dangerous time was when I was tied to the execution platform. If it hadn't been for Pablo's kidnapping The then mayor of Origin Harbor came to save me, and I was afraid that I would have died long ago.”
First Mate Claire stepped out of the shadows.
Because she came to the Songhai Empire in the name of the Transian Mission this time, she did not wear her pirate uniform that was the same as her sexy uniform, but put on a uniform similar to the navy uniform, which made this The coquettish pirate sister has a dignified charm again.
But looking at her drunken look, he knew that this guy might have found the palace's wine cellar and held a small party there.
"Pablo calls you to the dock."
Claire put her hands on her hips and said:
"He is going to dedicate his 'Pirate King's Treasure' to you, tonight."
"ah?"
Murphy blinked and said:
"The things you hide should be very secretive. Won't leaving the port attract the attention of the Songhai people?"
"It's really secretive."
Claire curled her lips, stamped her feet again, and said:
"The treasure house is in a cave on the edge of the sea outside the Port of Origin. The straight-line distance from here is less than ten kilometers, so there is no need to sail there.
Pablo always said that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is, so he hid his treasure under the eyes of the Songhai people. I thought he was crazy at the time, but it turns out that guy's crooked mind does work sometimes.
His treasure has been hidden here for more than a hundred years and has never been discovered.
Even if someone knows that Pablo's secret treasure is nearby, those treasure hunters dare not approach the port of origin. The Songhai people's navy is not a vegetarian. It may not be able to catch up with the pirates in the open sea, but in the offshore sea with their With firepower, no pirate would come here to kill them. After all, even the Dagon fishmen who were not afraid of anything in the sea would go around the Songhai people's navy. "
"Huh? Near the city? You guys are really brave."
Murphy raised his eyebrows and asked:
"But in this case, wouldn't it be difficult for Pablo to get close to his treasure?"
"So, why do you think the two of us have been wanted by the Songhai Empire for more than a hundred years, and the combined bounty exceeds five million?"
Upon hearing this question, Claire immediately complained:
"Because of that crazy idea, every time we deliver something to the treasure place, we have to complete a coastal robbery first, attracting the fleet from the port of origin before we can sneak over here. We also have to choose the monsoon season every year. Only dare to approach here under the cover of the storm.
In the end, the locals began to spread rumors that the Blood Terror Pirates could control storms and would always arrive at the place of origin during the most dangerous storms of the year.
I admit, Pablo's treasure is one of the most luxurious treasures I have ever seen, but it is too difficult to get it out.
What's more, now that the Songhai Empire has lost the protection of the Creator's power, many of their weapons can no longer be used. This is destined that other factions of the Blood-Dread Pirates will come here regularly to plunder.
Pablo already sensed the risk.
He felt that instead of wasting time and effort in moving the treasure out, it would be better to donate it to Transia on the spot. He could also donate some military merits to earn some fame and gain your favor. Anyway, we will come ashore with a clear conscience in the future and we won’t need these. Something. "
"What an idea! What a gift. It's so generous that I can't say no."
Murphy gave a thumbs up and said with a straight face:
"So, I have to bear the additional risk of being discovered by the Songhai people and regarded as an enemy?"
"Look at what you said, you are the chosen one by the Creator! The people of Songhai are so mad that they dare to be hostile to you. This country is now eager to serve you and lick you to make you feel comfortable so that you can pray for the blessings of the Creator again."
Claire grinned and said:
"Let alone a pirate treasure, even if you ask the Pharaoh to open the treasury, these blue-skinned guys will probably do it."
Murphy shrugged, got the Jedi's location from Claire, and after nightfall, he quietly left the palace with Bertie and Penny and went to a deserted beach outside the Port of Origin dock to meet up with Pablo.
When they arrived at their destination, they saw the big pirate wearing a cool navy general uniform pretending to be at several long-weathered graves on the deserted beach of the festival.
"Some of my best friends died young when I was still human."
Pablo spilled the wine in the jug in front of the grave, sighed and said:
"I buried them here to fulfill their last wish and give my treasure a mark that only Claire and I know."
"Excuse me, can I ask a question?"
Murphy asked with a strange expression:
"How did some of your good friends die?"
"Oh, I killed them with my own hands because they tried to steal my treasure and then I discovered them. With one bullet for each person, all grudges were settled."
The Blood-Dreaded Duke turned around and said with a malicious grin:
"Murphy, apart from them, you are the only outsider who is about to enter my treasure house. Maybe there will be an extra tomb of yours here.
You know that for pirates, the word treasure is always associated with betrayal, curse and death. "
"Stop talking nonsense, you are no longer a pirate, Pablo."
How could Murphy be frightened by such a ridiculous threat? He took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and said:
"I have to get back before Princess Fulier returns to the Green Shade Palace. The time left is not enough. Hurry up and lead the way, you old sea dog."
"Yes, I am about to leave my glorious and successful pirate career. Alas, my life is about to lose a precious possibility."
Pablo took a sip of wine, turned and walked towards the rising tide beach behind him. He said:
"Come on, please allow me to pay this loyalty tax to you, my governor."
