Infinite Throne

   Chapter 217 Upgrade to Nightmare Difficulty (2 in 1)

  Tiramisu went up to the deck with a dark face.

   Since the fleet suffered these disasters, her face has not been better.

   Elegantly smoking the long and narrow cigarette rod, Tiramisu pondered silently, then turned her head and looked at Gu Tianqing, who was a naval advisor.

  Irin shook his fan and approached Gu Tianqing and Tiramisu on the deck without a trace.

In fact, with the route of the warship, all the way to the north, after crossing the latitude, the surrounding temperature has dropped a lot, but Yi Rin's fan hides his expression in front of Gu Tianqing by the way, and he is used to it. not good.

   After sailing for a few days, Elizabeth Rin, who seemed to have no threat, was almost regarded as a little transparent by the Tiramisu navy. Except for normal work and rest, no one paid attention to Yi Rin's actions on the ship.

   However, it is also convenient for Irin to deal with the [Unstable Explosives] hidden under the skirt and about to explode in the Bead Box from time to time.

   A small bead sank into the sea without causing too much obvious waves.

Yi Rin habitually kept the full amount of 10 explosive beads. Anyway, he is not the captain now, so he doesn't need to worry about the sailing matters. When he is idle, he spends some time remembering the time of rubbing the explosive beads. It's a good way to pass the boring time.

   "Shipwreck Bay?"

After   Irin got closer, she faintly heard certain words, which came along the sea breeze, and her heart couldn't help but move.

   So he was even more serious, and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

   It would be nice if the dog was here at this time. The dog is famous for his keen hearing.

  Irin thought with a little regret.

   "Fortune-telling...don't...believe...the route...Shipwreck Bay..."

  Tiramisu wasn't stupid enough to shout anything, but with the low voice, Irin couldn't hear the entire content of the discussion between the two.

   If you get closer, this eavesdropping is too blatant.

  Tianqing Gu and Tiramisu are still having heated discussions.

   To be precise, it is Tiramisu that is intense, not Gu Tianqing.

   Gu Tianqing just smiled and shook his head.

   From the few words, Gu Tianqing seemed to be righteously rejecting some excessive demands of Tiramisu.

   As for how excessive it was, Yi Rin couldn't tell from Gu Tianqing's expression.

   Another few minutes passed.

   The discussion between the two became a little indifferent.

   Tiramisu's expression seemed to have eased a lot.

   They lowered their voices even lower.

finally.

   Tiramisu nodded, and left the deck again. The adjutant gave orders, and the orders were conveyed one after another, so that all the navies were still active and performed their duties.

  Irin: ?

  Thinking about it for a moment, whether it's acting or being really curious, and being rational, Yi Rin must put a question mark to Gu Tianqing at this moment.

actually.

  After getting on this ship, Yi Rin once considered whether to take advantage of the dead of night to knock out Tiramisu and the Governor, the two high-ranking naval officers, and maybe it would increase a wave of pirate reputation.

   But when Yi Rin thought of the possible plots that would appear next, he temporarily dismissed the idea.

   After all, on the premise that Yilin does not have his own ships, if he grabs these ten warships, he may not be able to convince all the navies and become pirates.

   And whether it is Elizabeth Rin or wearing the skeleton gentleman's vest, killing on this ship will undoubtedly reveal his true identity, after all, there is Gu Tianqing on board.

  Tani Tianqing's "tarot card divination" ability always made Yiren feel a little weird.

   If it is so accurate, it is equivalent to the ability of "prophecy".

   This kind of ability is extremely rare even in the future. If Gu Tianqing can predict in advance that Yilin will attack in advance, it is very likely that he will be in a disadvantageous situation.

   Although it seems that tarot divination has some predictions and relies on brain supplementation, it is an extremely terrifying ability to be able to predict a general direction.

   Now it's just the second main mission, there is still time, Irin is not in a hurry.

   Besides, it's not yet time to tear his face off with Gu Tianqing.

   As mentioned earlier, in the trial mission, the relationship between the apostles is complicated, and there is no absolute distinction between enemies and friends.

  If you are not absolutely sure that an apostle will be completely wiped out in the trial mission, don't make a deadly vengeance with the apostle, otherwise, returning to the real world will lead to a lot of trouble.

  Either have full confidence to complete the lore, or use the general trend of the trial to kill the apostle without a trace in the trial.

   Just like in Gotham City, Yi Rin quietly killed Zhu Yun'er, which is a textbook example of killing apostles.

   One more thing.

   When Gu Tianqing used tarot cards for divination last time, Yilin wanted to grab a tarot card to check if Gu Tianqing was not paying attention to see if there was any "attribute".

   Gu Tianqing had long been prepared for Yi Rin's actions, Yi Rin's fingertips only touched the card surface a little, but he didn't get his wish.

   But that brief touch made Irin realize something.

  Tianqing Gu's Tarot Card...The material is abnormal.

   is not the smooth texture of ordinary cards.

The feeling of    for Yi Rin was a little familiar, like a piece of human skin that was stuck on the body's forehead and couldn't be pulled out.

   Later, Yi Rin looked back and thought about it, and was very suspicious of Gu Tianqing's tarot cards, which were made of human skin.

   But Yi Rin just suspected, there was no evidence.

  Tarot cards made of human skin.

   Black card back, **** texture.

  These features are so weird.

   Back to business.

   After Yi Rin felt that there was something wrong with Gu Tianqing, he slowly put a question mark on the communication panel.

   Gu Tianqing looked over here with a smile, with her index finger raised to her mouth, making a "shh-" gesture.

  Irin: "…"

   After half an hour.

   at night.

   The temperature is lower.

  The surrounding fog is filled with fog.

However, this kind of fog does not seem to exist in the foggy sea of ​​the undead, that kind of weird dense fog that is like water fog but not water fog, but a normal weather phenomenon in which water fog in the lower atmosphere above the ocean condenses at a lower temperature, and There is no special connotation.

   In the sea fog weather at night, the nine warships sailed straight along the established trajectory.

   There was a faint dim light ahead.

  One, two, three—

The closer the    is, the lights in front are like fireflies at night, gradually gathering, gathering a hazy yellow light in the night fog. From the range of this light, it can be roughly inferred that the front should be an island-like building.

   Suddenly.

   right now.

  Irin's chest tightened a little.

   In Yi Rin's ear, suddenly, there was a sigh.

   The sighing sound was like a weeping sound, like it came from the ear, or it seemed to come from the tight and swaying chest.

  Alice?

   "Hey—it's so cold, I'd better go back to the cabin and stay there."

   Yi Rin's eyes were slightly condensed, but his expression showed a hint of discomfort. In the eyes of everyone, Yi Rin carried her long skirt and walked towards her cabin.

By the way, although Elizabeth Rin, played by Yi Rin, has the identity of "Lord Governor's fiancée", the plot does not seem to be too bloody, forcibly arranging Yi Rin and the Governor in the same cabin to the point of infatuation, A relatively quiet cabin in a corner is dedicated to the second deck cabin.

  Otherwise, if Tiramisu really wanted to make such a **** arrangement, Yilin would definitely take out a knife without hesitation, stab the mysterious governor, and then ride away on the sea with a Nightmare.

Before entering the cabin, Tiramisu saw that Yi Rin was about to hide, but instead happily blew smoke rings, and forced a smile on her tight pretty face: "Oh, beautiful lady, we may have The hull of the ship may be bumpy and there will be some noise outside, I hope it will not disturb Ms. Elizabeth Rin, hehehe."

   "I hope not, otherwise, I will let my fiance kick you out!"

  Tiramisu: "…"

  Click.

After   Irin said harsh words, she walked off the deck and went to the boudoir in the second cabin below the deck, where she was completely locked.

  In the room, Irin has searched back and forth inside and out, and there is no equipment similar to bugs or monitoring.

   But if the equipment is really advanced enough that even Irin can't recognize it, Irin doesn't have any **** to say.

   Before seeing the infrared sensor device and elevator in the Governor's Palace, Irene did not expect that she would have the experience of searching for surveillance equipment in a medieval ship.

   No one will believe it.

   Of course, the experience of the apostles cannot be told to ordinary people.

   Hu Hu Hu—

   Facing the sea breeze, in the night fog, the nine warships moved quickly and neatly towards the hazy light group in the depths of the fog, posing a surrounding formation.

   At this time, the other warships did not care about cursing, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

   "Alice?"

   While observing the movement outside the ship, Irin whispered in the room to the lonely mother spirit from the misty sea, Alice.

   That sigh that came from nowhere should be Alice's voice.

It's just the [Alice Curse Corset] that is worn on the chest, and Alice's curse is placed on it, but it is not like Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu in the enchanted weapons, which can come and go at a whim. Irin felt very helpless. If it weren't for the fact that the effect of increasing the charm value on the equipment attribute was really good, maybe Irin would regret the decision to wear this cursed corset.

  “…”

  “…”

  “…”

Oh? Alice actually ignored him.

   There was no sound anymore, as if the faint sigh just now was just an illusion.

"Hehe, how come there are so many illusions?" Yi Rin raised his head and looked in the direction of Shipwreck Bay through the window: "Shipwreck Bay? It is now nearly a month away from the so-called Pirate Conference in the second pirate main quest. Prestige The value is not yet at the level of the pirate king, or... do you need other conditions to become the pirate king?"

   "Unfortunately, Ruth is only a half-barrel water pirate and is not very skilled in this area."

   "Main quest 2... Shipwreck Bay..."

   Just as Irin was entangled in various clues in his thoughts, he once again thought of every word of the main mission 2.

  Because of being scared "before", Yi Rin has already developed the habit of memorizing every word released by the tower without omission.

  [Main quest 2: As one of the "Nine Pirate Kings", participate in the "Pirate Conference" held in Shipwreck Bay three months later. Current Faction: Pirates. 】

  [Task time limit: Before the "Pirate Conference" is held. Mission Failure Penalty: Take one or two random "curses". Mission reward: unknown. 】

   "Pirate Conference in three months? Mission time limit...?"

  Suddenly, Yi Rin's mind thumped like a sudden burst.

   on deck.

  Gu Tianqing stood proudly on her back, staring at Shipwreck Bay in the distance, smiling slightly.

  The stern of Lucky No. 2, next to the main rudder, Tiramisu raised the cigarette rod high, smiled coldly, and issued an order that made countless people wait for a long time.

   "Fire at Shipwreck Bay...!!"

   The signal to fire was quickly transmitted to the remaining eight warships.

  In an instant, in all directions of Shipwreck Bay, the sound of shells being loaded from various warships completely broke the silence of this sea area.

   Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka…

  Boom boom boom boom boom!

Countless gun barrels, within the range, simultaneously spewed out terrifying firelight towards Shipwreck Bay, one wave after another, round after round of shelling, with almost no pause, and in the blink of an eye, the night mist was engulfed. The dim light was completely submerged.

   Transform into more gorgeous fireworks!

  Boom boom boom—

   There were waves on the sea surface, and the fog was thicker, but this was not the normal water mist, but the gunpowder smoke caused by too many guns, which was extremely terrifying.

   No ship, no one person, can withstand this level of firepower on this sea.

  The remaining nine warships, the caliber of shells is not comparable to the pound weight used by pirates, just by looking at the rows of gun barrels protruding from the iron plate, the muzzles are dark and thick, it can be seen.

   Shipwreck Bay is also a well-known location in naval textbooks.

  It is said that the largest naval battle in recent years happened here.

Because after the war, pirates did not dare to gather here in large numbers. Even if there were, they were just some unknown pirates. In addition, the barren fortress in Shipwreck Bay was located in the middle of the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Generally speaking And no Navy would choose such a thankless place to earn work points.

  Even if you are passing by, you should detour directly to avoid unnecessary trouble.

  Those little shrimp pirates, even if you ignore them, might die in the sea one day.

   Dark night.

   Shipwreck Bay.

   Nine warships.

  Dense fog and gunpowder smoke.

  The sky is full of artillery fire.

   All of this constitutes the magnificent picture in front of him. Gu Tianqing stands on the bow of the boat, no one knows what he is thinking at the moment, his expression is neither happy nor sad.

at the same time.

   in the second deck cabin.

   When Yilin was just about to pick up her skirt, summon the Nightmare and try the [Dark Night Mode] to mix into Shipwreck Bay to see if she could get some benefits from the chaos, Yiren made a move.

   At this time, one of his long legs had stepped out of the boat, and he was fixed on the outside of the boat.

   After hesitating for a moment, Yi Rin remembered Gu Tianqing's poker face, and couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Forget it, it's too late."

   So Irin retracted her legs again.

   also gave up his plan to slip into Shipwreck Bay.

   He had almost guessed the consequences of Shipwreck Bay completely disappearing from the sea, but he just didn't know how the tower would deal with this consequence.

   "Is it a bug? There are quite a few bugs I've encountered recently? Or is this a brand new way of thinking about customs clearance that I never thought of before?"

   The "before" in Irin's words obviously refers to his last life, which was slightly salty.

   "Gu Tianqing also found out? No, how could he know that the main quest of the pirates is related to Shipwreck Bay? Among the pirates... are there ghosts?"

   But this thought just flashed in his mind, and Irin himself felt ridiculous, so he couldn't help laughing secretly by himself.

  The so-called pirates should not have a camp in the first place. How can they be called a camp that only fights for the benefit of the enemy?

   Now there are two apostles who have never met, and the roles played are most likely "Nicholas Zhao" and "Indiana Jones".

   Among these two, someone secretly joined with Gu Tianqing?

Or is it…?

  Boom boom boom.

   There is still crazy shooting outside, it seems to be endless.

The    vibration even spread to the cabin, and the walls that were not strong on all sides quivered.

  Irin was still thinking in the dark.

  The light of the artillery fire reflected a gorgeous red light on Elizabeth Rin's fair skin, making this woman in the dark look as delicate as a flower.

   in the cabin.

   Silence lasted for several minutes.

   Suddenly, Yi Rin didn't turn her head back, she whispered, "You really want to go to Shipwreck Bay?"

  I don't know when it started, the translucent lonely mother spirit Alice appeared behind Irin with a gloomy expression, which made the atmosphere in the cabin a bit more inexplicably creepy and treacherous.

  Alice floated silently behind Irin, without touching the ground.

   On the pale face, the scars were re-opened, and blood was oozing out.

   "I said Miss Alice, it's useless for you to scare me with special effects here." Irin turned her head and said with a smile.

  Irin has long been immune to this kind of visual feast, not to mention that there are two translucent spirits like Alice in his warehouse, which is not uncommon.

  Alice was silent, but she took the blood from her face back with a whimper, and the fresh blood scars on her face slowly healed, smooth as ever.

   "I guess, your man is up there."

  Alice bowed her head: "I hate him, but our destiny is connected."

   "The kind of deep love and hatred? Oh, sorry, I should put it in a more down-to-earth way... Oh, do you want him to die in this life and never find a lover who loves him more than you?"

  Under Irin's teasing, although there was no wine at this time, Alice finally told her story.

   "That day, our ship encountered it, and then..."

   Then, then there is no then.

  Alice seemed to recall the terrifying scene at the time, her expression grim, and her spirit body trembled slightly.

"He is Alice's fiancé, his long brown hair is like that of a lion, slightly curly and delicate, his eyes are like stars and diamonds, dazzling, oh, his singing, like The most luxurious pure gold bell, oh…”

  Irin's strange expression interrupted Alice's singing: "Don't you oh oh oh oh oh, my orientation is normal, you don't need to describe it in such detail, I sound like your ex-husband is rich?"

  Alice was interrupted by Yi Rin's fantasy, the blur in her eyes disappeared immediately, and she pursed her lips tightly: "It doesn't matter, he is a very talented musician."

  Irin laughed and said, "Well, a perfect match, and then what?"

  Alice continued: "We were lucky to survive in the lifeboat, it seemed to have no interest in us. At sea, we drifted for seven days..."

   "Without food, no fresh water, I suffered from severe dehydration, high fever, and so did he."

   "Alice remembers that on the seventh night, there was fog all around, and it seemed like someone was singing."

   "He stumbled upon the names of twenty-three women, including Alice's own aunt and grandmother."

   hiss—

  Irin suddenly took a breath.

  Alice: "?"

  Irin: "It's nothing, please continue."

   "So Alice asked him the next day why he named those women in his dream, and then, with the last of our strength, we scuffled on the boat."

   "In the end, I died and he lived. But we were completely one."

   Alice's understated tone made Irin unable to react.

   But after a little pondering, I found that something was wrong.

   Fusion?

   "Wait." Yi Rin looked up at Alice's eyes: "You mean...he ate you?"

  Alice grinned, two rows of white teeth flashing white in the firelight: "He can't abandon Alice anymore, Alice is sure."

   "Oh." Irin took a few seconds to calmly accept the ending of this horror story.

  Alice looked confused: "???"

   She didn't expect Yiren's reaction to be so calm.

   "So, yours is in Shipwreck Bay?"

Alice laughed, but said another thing: "Alice cast a curse before her death... Curse his smooth hair, which will be completely withered, and his charming voice, which will be as unbearable as a blower, He will decay like a corpse, his skin will be covered with abscesses that will never heal, and the stench from his body will make no one come near... Alice cursed him, cursed him with Alice's flesh and blood, with the most painful way to live well.”

   "As a price, Alice has also become an undead." Alice closed her eyes and pointed in the direction of Shipwreck Bay with an intoxicated face: "Alice can feel it, he's there..."

   Shipwreck Bay?

   Coincidence or?

  Irin thought for a moment: "What's the name of your ex-boyfriend?"

   "Hee hee, Nicholas Zhao! The man who is connected to Alice's destiny."

  Irin: "…"

   At the moment of hearing this name, Yi Rin didn't think about anything else, and his mood at the moment was neither shock nor surprise.

   but—

   "It turns out that there are people more unlucky than me in this role-playing mode."

   After learning the complete thriller version of "Alice's Honeymoon Travels", Yi Rin silently observed a few seconds of silence for the martyr who played "Nicholas Zhao".

  Irin finally decided not to dive into Shipwreck Bay for Alice in such an environment full of changes.

  If you guessed correctly, there must be an important hidden plot side quest hidden in Alice. Once completed, it is very likely to greatly improve the final quest evaluation.

   is like the "Treasure Map of the Touching Stone".

  Irin really doesn't have so much energy and manpower now to dig more side plots and missions.

  Although there are some regrets, there will be gains and losses. Under the operation of Gu Tianqing, the destruction of Shipwreck Bay is now a foregone conclusion.

   I don't know whose head Nicholas Zhao finally died in this round of artillery fire.

  Alice finished telling the story, seeing that Yilin was completely unmoved, and had no idea of ​​landing in Shipwreck Bay, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she disappeared from Yilin's head.

  The sound of gunfire outside the ship gradually subsided.

   On the sea, gunpowder smoke filled the air, Yi Rin wiped it on his face, and the smell of gunpowder was all over it, which was extremely pungent.

   One can imagine how much firepower the nine warships invested in order to completely destroy Shipwreck Bay.

Sudden.

  Irin lowered her head.

   After the sound of the guns subsided, he waited for a long time for the reminder, and he was not late, and appeared in front of Irin on time.

   "Sure enough." Irin's face was expressionless.

  【The key landmark "Shipwreck Bay" was completely destroyed. 】

  【…】

The    tower seemed silent.

   is like calculating again.

   [Found a known "conflict". 】

  【Dealing with "conflict"...】

  【Processing completed. 】

  【Revisited the main task 2. 】

   [Main quest 2 re-released: Raise the prestige value to "Famous in the World" or the military rank to "Major General". Current Faction: Pirates (Navy). Mission reward: unknown. Time limit: none. Punishment: None. 】

  【Main quest 2 is completed in an instant! Reward: Final evaluation level +1 when clearing customs! 】

【warn. 】

【warn. 】

【warn. 】

here we go again.

  Irin suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

  [It was detected that the main mission 2 was completed in an "abnormal way"...]

  【The difficulty of the trial has been increased to...nightmare level! 】

  【Clear the "Death Point" settlement, difficulty bonus +40%】

  【Warm reminder: please ask yourself for more blessings. 】

  Irin: "???"

  【Main quest 3 released...】
