It's not enough for an excellent navigator to master all the combat and exploration skills. The ocean is an unknown territory for humans. We are so insignificant in front of the ocean. Our knowledge and skills are never enough.
To the sailors, every moment of every day was the same. It was dull and tedious. But only the best navigators can make important discoveries in these familiar environments. The truth is often hidden in the things we take for granted.
Dafei flipped through the pages of Renoir's Navigation Skill Book. Apart from the two sentences on the title page and the last page, there were no other markings. It was no different from the normal Navigation Skill Book he had on him.
This time, Dafei was puzzled. Could it be that because Renault had written these two lines of words, his name had to be added before the name of the skill book and it would become a special edition? Just like how a primary school student would write his name in the textbook and make it a certain language book? Isn't this a little unreliable? The items in the game are very strict. They are what they should be. Is there a meaning behind it?
Dafei took out Makar's skill book for comparison. They were both textbooks with his name written on them, but Makar had so many scribbles! Look, I just casually flipped through and there was another sentence:
— The closer I get to God, the more I feel insignificant.
F * ck! He's close to God? That's right. He sent the level-8 creature Leviathan flying with a fireball. It's a powerhouse below the Grim Reaper. He's powerful, has heaven-defying skills, is close to God, has an outstanding reputation, and is also a cunning and hypocritical schemer. Do I really have to be enemies with such a person in my Epic Mission? But then again, aren't these two powerful people very humble? Arrogant opponents aren't scary, but humble opponents are! I don't have a chance, right?
He continued flipping and saw a bunch of magic symbols that players wouldn't be able to understand. Even after flipping through Makar's graffiti book, the system didn't give any information about the Divine Skill.
This isn't right!
Juan's diary, which contained information about the Godly Skill, could not be discovered by ordinary players. However, the Cannon Captain was a Boss that had to be defeated. Even his diary contained information about the Godly Cannon. How could someone of Renault's level not have any information? Didn't Makar say in the previous chapter that he wanted to experiment with manual production of Bosses?
Dafei was even more confused.
Wait a minute! Most people wouldn't be able to find Juan's remains, right? In other words, if the players completed the trial normally, they would not discover that Makar was a great schemer, right? Under normal circumstances, what was the follow-up to the quest?
Of course, it was to fulfill the unfulfilled dream of an artillery captain and ask Makar for a phantom ballista. This Black Magic Skill Book also belonged to Makar. After obtaining it, the player would naturally return it to its rightful owner and ask for a reward, right? Also, what's the use of the unknown Soul Crystal that I obtained after killing the Ghost of Misfortune? It must be related to Makar, right? Shouldn't I hand this over to him to see what he can get as a reward?
In other words, regardless of whether he was a friend or foe, Makar was someone that they had to face.
Suddenly, Dafei had a flash of inspiration! I understand now!
Regardless of whether it was in terms of authority, strength, intelligence, or character, Makar was an invincible character. The players would definitely not be able to win against him. And the Epic Quest's quest prompt had a sentence, "If you present the diary to the Emperor, the Emperor might ignore it due to some misgivings." This meant that even the Emperor of the Lionheart Empire had to be wary of him. In other words, the NPC forces might not be his match. In reality, with his reputation, who would dare to touch him?
In other words, Makar was an undefeatable existence?
Then, there was only one way to defeat such a person. Obtain his trust and then find an opportunity to trick him! Since ancient times, how many heroes had fallen under the hands of their most trusted people? Under normal circumstances, after completing this trial, the players would definitely look for him to befriend and rely on him.
Therefore, there was only one way to complete the Epic Quest, and that was to save the country in a roundabout way!
So, I'll return this diary full of passionate flattery to Makar along with its Dark Magic Book and Soul Crystal. I'll increase the NPC's favorability and gain his trust. Then, I'll slowly enter his inner circle. Who knows, I might even be able to get the Secret Silver Island?
When I'm fully fledged, I'll present the Navigator's diary to the Emperor and show my loyalty. The Emperor will definitely think that I'm a very loyal subject. When that time comes, I'll have a foot in two boats and eat two birds with one stone!
Haha! Wahahaha! I'm really too sinister! Of course, this isn't my fault. I'm a good person. I've just been spoiled by this game. Games are really cruel to young people! Wahaha!
However, a game is a game after all. All of this has a big premise. I've already accepted the Epic Quest to go against him. How will the plot progress? What will happen after I meet Makar? Will I be instantly killed by him? Or will I be like a spy in real life and he doesn't know anything?
F * ck, I've already accepted the quest to go against him. I don't care if he's instantly killed. In short, I have to try. Otherwise, I won't be able to complete the quest. As long as I can return to the city, the first thing I'll do is find Makar. As long as I scam the bounty reward, I'll have the starting capital for my ship repair business.
After thinking it through, Dafei was suddenly enlightened. I have a general direction for my future.
However, I've thought it through for Makar, but I haven't thought it through for the Captain. Do I have to wait for the Captain's soul to awaken before I ask him? F * ck, how long do I have to wait?
Dafei flipped through the other books on the Captain's bookshelf. Most of them were poems, geographical maps, and so on. The Navigator's Log was also a daily safety management record.
Dafei flipped through it for a long time without any results. Dafei was getting more and more drowsy after pulling an all-nighter until noon. He couldn't take it anymore and logged off to sleep.
— System Notification: Attention player! You are currently on the high seas. Once you log off, your ship may encounter various unknown threats. In order to avoid unnecessary damage, it is recommended that you purchase the item 'God's Sanctuary' from the shop. (Note: Players cannot log off in the territory of the opposing faction.)
— God's Sanctuary: When the player hero logs off in the wild, the God's Sanctuary will protect the player's troops from any attacks. During the period of protection, time stops. Item price: 20 points. (Note: The more troops the hero has, the more expensive the item.)
Pfft! Even logging off costs 20 dollars! F * ck, he's crazy for money! Is my ship worth so much money?
In Hero Genesis, logging off was a very troublesome setting. Individual players could log off at will, but players with troops had to pay attention to it. In short, troops wouldn't log off with players. Otherwise, logging off would be a godly ambush technique. Therefore, players with troops could only go offline after arriving at a town, deposit their troops in the town's barracks, and then go offline. If it was in the wild without a town, the player would either entrust the deputy hero to manage the troops or purchase the item from the God's Sanctuary's shop. The longer they were offline, the more troops they had to protect, and the more expensive the item would be. Therefore, leading troops to war was a game only the rich could play.
I'm a professional player. I'm here to make money, not to give you money. I won't fall for your tricks. I'm going to log off and sleep! I'll set the System Notification to alarm mode. I'll keep the ship afloat! It's best if the ship drifts to land when I wake up. I'll be saved. I don't believe that a Leviathan can jump out of nowhere and eat the ship in the boundless sea! " Besides, the ship is already in such a state. No matter what comes, I'll just die. Anyway, I'll leave it to fate.
So Dafei wrapped himself in his helmet and fell asleep.
