Chapter 181: Career Compatibility 75, [Norwich Treasure]

Chapter 181: 75% professional compatibility, [Norwich Treasure]

Although the people on the [White Dove] were unwilling, Julian said so, so they had to give up and quietly withdraw from this [magnetic mine sea].

Of course, the [White Dove] may not have given up the pursuit of the [Thunder].

But in the presence of the [Black Swan], it will not make a move again.

Not far away, looking at the retreating [White Dove], the captain of the [Heron], Lan, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at the [Thunder] and said in her heart.

"Next time we meet, I will defeat you fairly!"

...

...

[Black Swan]

Shane was neither aware of nor concerned about the thoughts of other people in this sea area.

At this time, he was standing on the bow deck, his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling slowly.

If it weren't for the dark clouds above his head, the thunder roaring on the sea surface around him, and the waves rising and falling, people would probably think he was taking a nap in the warm afternoon sun!

Boom!

Suddenly, a bucket-thick thunderbolt fell from the inky black clouds and landed directly on the half-metal and half-wood [Black Swan].

The sizzling electric light exploded immediately, turning into a series of lightning snakes wandering on the deck, mast, and hull.

Seeing that the components on the ship were about to become charred under the ravages of the lightning arc, Shane suddenly snorted coldly.

Sizzle——

The lightning snakes that were fierce and ready to wreak havoc in the last second seemed to be greatly frightened in the next second, restrained their power, and crawled down obediently.

Soon, a force of attraction emanated from Shane and the hull of the [Black Swan], gradually absorbing these peaceful lightning snakes.

Seventy percent of it sank into Shane's body.

The remaining thirty percent was absorbed by the magic pattern on the Black Swan.

The aura of both of them was becoming increasingly heavy, like a deep abyss or a mountain, as if carrying the majesty of thunder.

Then, Shane opened his eyes.

A blue-purple electric light flashed in his eyes, illuminating the entire ship.

Then, the electric light gradually twisted and changed, and finally turned into a strange character, disappearing in Shane's eyes.

[Comprehensive Quality: 3.05→3.17! ]

[Black Swan "Mystery" +2! ]

[Current "Storm Power": No Attribute (2), Extreme Cold (0), Embers (1), Magnetic Thunder (1)! ]

[Professional Compatibility: 75%! ]

"This time, it only increased by 0.12?"

Looking at the information that appeared on the panel, Shane was thoughtful.

"It seems that the strengthening effect of the storm power will also decrease with the increase in the number of plundering."

Xia En was a little regretful, but not surprised.

On the way to the [Magnetic Thunder Sea], he also encountered two ordinary storms, and the combined increase in comprehensive quality was only 0.05!

"However, the distance to 100% fit is only the last special storm, which is also another step towards the fourth level."

Thinking of this, Xia En's expression was a bit strange.

This special storm is not something you can find just by looking for it.

After plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he really doesn't know where to find the last special storm.

Another thing worth mentioning is.

After this plunder storm, Xia En's eyes condensed with mysterious characters representing [Magnetic Thunder], and he had a certain control over lightning.

This made Xia En understand.

Whether it is magic pattern or character, it is essentially an extension of text. If you master it, you can master the corresponding secret power.

The reason why such characters did not appear when plundering [Arctic Storm] and [Ember Storm] was probably because he had not yet fully understood these two secret powers.

Moreover, [Magnetic Thunder Storm] is relatively simpler and more brutal.

Just when Shane was about to delve deeper into it.

On the deck, a translucent figure gradually emerged, secretly peeking at him.

"Vivian?"

Shane looked towards the corner strangely.

"... Woo!"

"No, not me!"

Miss Ghost was startled, and waved her hands in a hurry, and her figure quickly faded, as if she wanted to hide.

Since Shane wanted to absorb the power of [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he was worried that it would affect other crew members, so he followed the same method and asked them to hide on the [Diamond Star].

However, Vivian's crystal coffin was placed on the [Black Swan], and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

In fact, when plundering [Ember Storm] last time, Vivian also hid in the cabin, but she never showed up.

Moreover, since Shane returned from the Elf Temple, Vivian's attitude has become a little strange.

She rarely appears in front of Shane, as if she has really become a ghost, and her presence has been greatly reduced.

She even refused to show up during several meals.

——This is enough to show that the situation is not simple.

But behind the scenes, Vivian would secretly peek at Shane like she did today.

Such a contradictory attitude really puzzled Shane.

In fact, Shane had some guesses in his heart.

Vivian's secret profession was [Destruction Witch], and it was also inseparable from the destruction of the elves.

Maybe she noticed the changes in Shane after returning to the past, and her attitude became a little strange.

Now think about it.

It may not be a coincidence that Vivian's crystal coffin and [Lila's Magic Notes] appeared in [Ember Shelter] together.

Right now, there happened to be no other crew members on the ship.

Shane simply walked in front of Miss Ghost and asked directly.

"Why have you been hiding from me all this time?"

"Ah woo woo!"

Vivian's courage was not great.

At this time, Shane still had the thunder power that was most restraining against creatures like ghosts, which frightened her so much that her eyes turned red and tears flowed down directly.

Shane was dumbfounded.

Ghosts, can they cry?

Normal ghosts probably won't cry, but Vivian can eat without any problems, which can no longer be explained by common sense.

However, Shane was really a little confused by Vivian's crying.

Whether in his past life or this life, he didn't have much experience in dealing with this situation.

"Vivian, please stop crying, okay?"

"I'm just asking, I won't hurt you."

"Woo woo...really?"

While wiping her tears, Vivian looked up carefully and asked.

Shane vowed: "Of course, I'm your captain!"

"But you have to tell me what happened to you these days, right?"

After getting Shane's assurance, Vivian said.

"More than half a month ago, I suddenly remembered something."

"I seem to have seen you... a long, long time ago, and the big guy with fire all over his body."

Hearing this, Shane's heart jumped.

Have you seen him and Yan Yan! ?

Could it be that Vivian was once a resident of the Emerald Island and a survivor of the God's Wrath?

But when asked about the Emerald Island, Vivian looked confused and did not recall any new memories.

Shane looked at Vivian's face, but her face was still covered with an invisible veil, and he could not see her true appearance.

In short, Shane could only see that she was very beautiful.

But he had no idea where she was beautiful and to what extent.

Only the feeling of déjà vu lingered.

Suddenly, Shane had a bold guess in his heart -

He and Vivian may have met in the future!

If the Elf Temple has a backup plan to temporarily return to the past, then Shane may return to the past again in the future.

He and Vivian may have met at that time.

Of course, this guess is really outrageous, and even Shane cannot be sure.

Just as Shane's thoughts fluctuated.

Vivian reminded him, "Captain Shane, there are two pirate ships approaching!"

Shane came to his senses belatedly and looked at the sea.

In the gradually subsiding storm, the [Siren] and [Thunder] were slowly approaching the [Black Swan].

Their cautious and slow movements seemed to be afraid of causing any misunderstanding.

"It's them!"

Shane was a little surprised, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He had noticed the presence of other ships on the sea before, but he didn't observe them carefully because he was immersed in the pleasure of plundering the storm.

After all, the hull of the [Black Swan] has grown larger than these two ships.

Among ships of the same size, the performance of the [Black Swan] is the strongest!

The two pirate ships that were extremely feared in the past are no longer a threat to Shane now.

...

...

Not long after.

Shane invited "Thunder Fang" Loren and "Night Princess" Alyssa to the deck of the Black Swan.

Seeing the two who were already third-level secret pathers, Shane sighed.

"It's been a long time since we parted at Silver Moon Island."

He sighed, and Loren and Alyssa sighed even more.

When they first met, the Black Swan was still an unknown small boat, and Shane himself was just a first-level secret pather.

Alyssa also boarded the Black Swan and showed her strength, wanting to take Joey away from the ship.

And now, looking at this big ship that has become brand new, Loren and Alyssa's expressions are a little dazed.

From this ship, some shadows of the past can still be vaguely seen.

But whether it is the towering ship's side, the main gun covered with magic patterns, or the flat and tidy deck, they are all full of extraordinary charm.

And the most terrifying thing is...

The moment the two stepped onto the deck, they both felt a mysterious gaze.

It was as if... the ship was staring at them!

Once the two showed any unusual movements, the ship seemed to launch a fierce attack without Shane taking any action.

Not only the ship, but also the changes in Shane himself shocked Loren and Alyssa.

Especially Alyssa.

When they met that time, she was able to overwhelm Shane with the aura of a second-level secret pather, showing a very exquisite space spell and gaining the upper hand.

But at this time, Shane was like a dark abyss in her eyes, and she couldn't see through it at all.

She could only see that some thunder power was still left on his body.

Alyssa even suspected that if they really fought, she wouldn't be able to take even one move from Shane.

"It seems that all the rumors about the [Black Swan] are true..."

"But aren't we all third-level secret pathers?"

Alyssa sighed in her heart and thought: "How can the gap between people be so big?"

"Besides, the speed of his breakthrough is too fast, isn't it?"

To be fair, Alyssa and Loren's promotion speed is already very fast, and they are geniuses among pirates.

At this time, although the two of them are a little tired, the degree of their aura is not comparable to that of Silver Moon Island.

But in front of Shane, there is still a gap between fireflies and bright moons.

Realizing this, the eyes of this "Night Princess" are quite complicated.

She had to admit that the little captain in the past had grown to the point where she needed to look up to him.

Alyssa and Loren looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes.

At this time, Loren completely understood why the [White Dove], which had a great reputation in the Seven Seas, retreated without a fight.

"It's been a long time indeed."

Loren was very thick-skinned, and soon his expression returned to normal, saying with a smile.

"I told you, Captain Shane was blessed with a long life, how could he die in the [Crime Islands]?"

Hearing this, Shane looked thoughtful.

That day, with the help of Mr. Heller, he entered the vortex with teleportation ability and avoided the pursuit of [Thousand Change].

But the pirates watching didn't know the truth, and they might have thought he was dead, so there was such news.

However, from a certain perspective, this is also a good thing.

A tall tree attracts the wind.

The previous bounty for [Black Swan] was already 3,000 gold dragon coins. If something else happened, it would probably soar even higher.

Now that he has temporarily escaped from the center of the vortex, it will obviously reduce the prying eyes of many people.

Especially the existence of [Thousand Change], which made Shane feel like something stuck in his throat for a rare time.

Suppressing his thoughts, Shane asked the two of them.

"Has anything happened recently on the Seven Seas?"

This is asking for information.

If ordinary pirates come to inquire, they must pay a certain price to exchange for information.

But Shane had just saved two ships from the White Dove, and his own strength was unfathomable, so the two of them could not have the slightest strange thoughts.

Alyssa said frankly: "The most exciting thing on the Seven Seas recently is the leakage of a file numbered S3."

"This S3 file was originally the result of the Federation's secret deciphering of ancient books. I don't know why it spread."

"It records the location of a special treasure."

Shane was also a little curious: "What treasure?"

Alyssa's face was solemn: "[Norwich Treasure]!"

"Norwich..."

Shane just read the name once, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Pirate King, Augustine Norwich!?"

Alyssa nodded: "That's right."

Shane was in a very strange mood.

Not long ago, he had just seen the legendary pirate king in the past.

And now, the news of the other party's treasure has appeared on the Seven Seas?

Alyssa didn't know about Shane's magnificent experience, she just thought that this news also shocked him, so she continued.

"Unlike the [Cinder King Treasure] which focuses more on inheritance, the [Norwich Treasure] is the accumulation of his life's wealth, which can be said to be rich enough to rival a country!"

"It is said that after his death, the twelve apostles under his command tried every means, but failed to find the treasure place of the [Norwich Treasure]."

"So after this news was released, the pirates on the sea were boiling."

Alyssa glanced at the purple sea not far away and said frankly.

"In fact, I came to the [Magnetic Thunder Sea] this time, half to help this idiot out, and the other half, to explore this treasure."

Shaen immediately noticed: "What do you mean?"

"According to rumors, part of the [Norwich Treasure] is buried on an island in the center of this [Magnetic Thunder Sea]!"

"Its name is... [Sand Island]!"
