Chapter 460: Chapter 306: The Ambitions of the Ice Demon Pirate Group – Part 2
Chen Qi then asked,
“What’s the good news?”
Bree huffed lightly and immediately pulled out a special card from the small pouch at his waist, handing it over to Chen Qi,
“Mr. Black Hunter, you should have a Dragon Tamer King backpack card, right?”
“???”
Chen Qi took the card.
On the front of the card was an image of a bronze key.
[Key Card:
Attributes: Lamp, Book
Rank: Third Rank
Description: A lamp forged into a key, this card can summon a special key to forcibly unlock doors, chests, and other ‘locks’ below Third Rank.]
Key Card… Chen Qi was secretly startled.
The Key Card was an extremely rare special card from the Crack, capable of conjuring a key to forcibly unlock most ‘locks’.
Whether it was the lock of a treasure chest, a door lock, or even the rune password lock on a backpack card, all fell within the unlocking range of the Key Card, usually restricted solely by ‘Rank’.
In many cases, the Key Card was also the simplest and most forceful tool to open special treasure chests and hidden doors in a Crack.
A Third Rank Key Card was sufficient to unlock most of the lower rank hidden doors within a Crack.
Like the backpack card, the casting of the Key Card also relied on a large amount of High Rank Rifts; however, unlike the backpack card, the forging of Key Cards didn’t have a mature system, and required Class B Rifts from three countries, making them even rarer and more expensive.
The Dragon Tamer King backpack card in Chen Qi’s hands exactly required a specialized tool for decryption.
At this time, compared to finding a lock master of the Book attribute, using the Key Card for decryption was indeed a more convenient method… Chen Qi gently pinched the backpack card and asked,
“What’s the cost?”
Bree leaned against the wall and hastily shook his head,
“This card was a gift from Captain Palu, and Captain Palu hopes that you will wait for him, wait until after he rescues the deputy captain, and he has something he wants to entrust to you.”
“What is it?”
Fen asked curiously.
Bree said softly,
“I’m not entirely certain, but based on my observations, it’s mostly about the Ice Witch.”
Teacher… Fen couldn’t help but frown.
The Ice Demon Pirate Group knew that her teacher was still alive.
Chen Qi, however, showed no excessive emotion; the purpose of the Ice Demon Pirate Group on the high seas was very pure, which was to find the Witch’s Coffin and revive the Ice Witch.
That was the goal they set since their inception!
All their behavior could be fully understood as fans of the Ice Witch.
However, the deep-seated reason behind Captain Palu’s attempts to revive the Ice Witch remained widely debated.
Some believed that Captain Palu harbored some evil plan and wanted to seize the power of the Ice Witch, while others thought, Captain Palu wanted the knowledge of the Ice Witch.
Bree looked at Fen’s expression and then added,
“Don’t worry, our captain is one of the top three from Bei Country Royal University! Though his mind might be sick, he definitely has no malice, perhaps he simply admires the Ice Witch, or seeks to find her to uncover the mysteries of the world that are not known to others.”
Admire my teacher? After hearing the explanation, Fen frowned and exchanged glances with Chen Qi.
The two nodded and agreed to the matter.
In fact, Chen Qi was quite interested in getting in touch with the Ice Demon Pirate Group.
After becoming a Legend, unimaginable resources were required, and undoubtedly, the many talents of the Ice Demon Pirate Group were fat sheep ready for the taking.
After finishing the message, Bree picked up a cup, brewed some invigorating coffee, drank it, and his lips curled up slightly,
“I won’t say more, I need to continue repairing the ship, and it should be fixed by tonight. Mr. Captain, this area is too close to the Dragon Flower Islands, we better switch to a new base soon.”
Though involuntarily caught up in this operation, as the mechanic of this operation, Bree was full of enthusiasm.
The thrill of brushing past thunder and lightning even made him forget his love.
“Okay.”
Chen Qi agreed.
After Bree finished speaking, he pushed open the room door, leading Water Elves 1 and 4, and continued repairing the ship.
Clang clang! The sounds emitted once more!
After Bree left, Chen Qi sat at the desk, spread out the sea map of the Ice Demon Pirate Group, and next, he needed to plan a new route while tallying up the gains from this journey.
Fen needed rest, and the ship also needed repairs; they required a new landing place.
A strategic location with enough resources for medicinal herbs.
Fen sat on the bed, her hand supporting her face, wearing a mischievous smile.
She quietly watched Chen Qi work for a moment then sneakily pulled out a treasure from her waist pouch, suddenly saying,
“Chen Qi, I actually have some good news for you too.”
“???”
Chen Qi turned around curiously.
Why did it feel like there were so many pieces of good news?
What a surprise! Fen snorted softly twice, a small yellow flower appearing above her head, then she took out a vial of potion.
The potion in Fen’s hand had a marvelous color like a sea of stars, and within it, one could seemingly see butterflies under the moonlight.
This was the Sage’s Medicine Fen used for her promotion… Chen Qi couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Fen proudly explained,
“I only needed three-quarters of the potion for my promotion, so I kept a quarter left. It’s Sage’s Medicine, you can’t digest it all at once, but if you drink it over several days, it should greatly enhance your physique.”
“Ah?”
Chen Qi had to admit, he was indeed shocked.
Leaving one-quarter left, and having such manipulation?
“This is one of the rewards for this journey!”
Fen pouted, saying proudly.
One of the rewards, were there other rewards too… Chen Qi took the potion.
[Diluted Moonlight Flower Sea Medicine:
Nature: Flower
Description: Brewed with the legendary ‘Moon Island Flower’ and a hundred other medicinal ingredients, this Sage’s Medicine can break through one’s Spiritual Power limits, replace one’s inspiration, and significantly enhance one’s physique. After complete consumption, there is a high chance to acquire the special ability of Spiritual Vision.
Note: Consumption of this potion requires a physique of over 100. For those with a physique less than 300, do not consume all at once.]
Witch-made Sage’s Medicine… Chen Qi took the potion, silently saying,
“Thank you.”
After saying this, Chen Qi drank a small drop of the potion, feeling not the previous scorching sensation, but rather a chilling sensation like that of blood.
“How is it? All good?”
Fen asked curiously, as it was quite dangerous for a regular Third-Rank Transcendent to consume Sage’s Medicine.
“Not bad…”
Chen Qi finished the potion.
Unlike other Extraordinary Potions, this potion took a long time to take full effect.
“That’s good…”
Fen then covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes.
Chen Qi, however, turned back, took out a pen, and continued to plan their ship’s next landing point.
The Dragon Flower Islands were too dangerous, and with too many Bounty Hunters from both the Sea God Pirate Group and Black Mine City, it was not suitable.
Chen Qi then set his eyes on a special place, which was at the border of the White Tower Sea and the Witch Sea, known as ‘Scorched Earth Island’.
This location backed by a great maelstrom was once a private mine of a noble, purchased by a collector from the White Tower Federation after the arrival of the Crack Tide.
By this time, it should have developed into a sizable neutral island much like Maro Town.
Of course, being in neutral territory and backed by the great maelstrom, both navies and Pirate Groups didn’t have much interest in this harsh environmental place.
Due to this severe environment, the individuals who came here were mostly poor adventurers, pirates without significant backing, and hunters from other countries.
With a lack of absolute ruling power, the island was constantly in small-scale conflicts, with black merchants, black doctors, and pirates found everywhere.
One could say, this was an island of no laws, a dangerous place.
Chen Qi stroked his chin; of course, danger was a relative term.
Though chaotic, the island had everything from shipyards to merchants selling various items.
Moreover, due to the large number of hunters and fugitives from other countries, Chen Qi would occasionally run into unexpected adventures here.
As a point of landing, it wasn’t bad… Chen Qi silently circled the place with his pen.
After confirming the next course of action, Chen Qi then took out a Key Card and channeled Spiritual Power into it.
The Key Card slowly transformed into a semi-transparent key.
Chen Qi grasped the key, vigorously inserted it into the Dragon Tamer King’s backpack card, and then gave it a twist.
Accompanied by a sound of “click,” the lock on the face of the Dragon Tamer King backpack card unlocked.
