"Your attack dealt 32 points of damage to the Contract Specter." “
"The Contract Specter's HP is below 30%."
"The Contract Specter gradually crumbled in agony, releasing a 'Wail of the Banshee (Fake)', dealing 90 points of damage to all enemies within a 4 metre radius. It also carries 5 seconds of intimidation and stun effect." “
"After deducting the resistance from physique, your actual damage is 90 – 21 = 69 points." “
"You have entered a state of intimidation and stun effect." “
"You have recovered from the stun effect." “
"The distance between you and the caster of the curse has exceeded a hundred metres, the curse of the Contract Specter has been dispelled." “
"It's actually the 'Wail of the Banshee'?" Sheyan naturally wasn't unfamiliar with this renowned ability, his heart quivered. Looking at it now, this fake version of the 'Wail of the Banshee' was already an exceedingly powerful AOE control ability. After personally experiencing it, Sheyan discovered that if one were to use the scientific theories of the present world to explain, the 'Wail of the Banshee' should be an instantaneous eruption of an area of effect infrasonic wave attack.
In the past, when he was a sailor on a ship, Sheyan had frequently heard of strange stories filled with horror. For example, in 1990, a Panamanian ship named 'Marco Polo' was sailing from New Zealand to England. Suddenly, they lost contact with a storm, and three days later, they discovered that the entire ship's crew had mysteriously perished. In 2003, at the entrance of Hungary's Boradli Mountain Cave, 3 tourists simultaneously collapsed to the ground and stopped breathing …. After investigation, the main culprit behind these strange events was infrasonic waves.
The human ear can capture frequencies from 20Hz to 80Hz. Sound waves with frequencies lower than 20Hz are called infrasonic waves. Sound waves with frequencies higher than 80Hz are called ultrasonic waves. The frequency of infrasonic waves is similar to the rhythm of the human brain, easily causing resonance. It can strongly stimulate the human brain, causing fear in mild cases. Frenzied and restless, severe cases would cause sudden fainting or complete loss of self-control, or even death.
When the frequency of infrasonic waves is similar to the rhythm of the human internal organs, and the human is in a high intensity infrasonic wave environment, the internal organs will violently resonate. In an instant, all the blood vessels will rupture, leading to death. The aforementioned tragedies were all caused by the infrasonic waves produced when the storm swept across the sea. Under normal circumstances, people would feel that the tiger's roar was soul-stirring, as if even their internal organs were trembling. This was because the tiger's roar contained infrasonic waves when it was hunting.
"At least you escaped fast." Sheyan took a deep breath and wiped away the two streams of blood flowing down from his nose as he said coldly. He cast his gaze towards the floor. Among the fragments of the broken wine bottle, there was a circle of slightly blackened parchment. The middle of the circle was tied with a rope, and it seemed to have been around for a long time. There was a layer of white frost around the parchment, which was probably why it had been preserved for so many years. The spirit sealed in the bottle had probably acted as a spiritual version of a refrigerator.
Sheyan picked up the parchment paper, his lips curling into a cold smile. As expected, that unlucky pickpocket from Chris's party failed the mission, not because he broke the bottle, but because he failed to pass the test of the Wail of the Banshee!
At this point, this mission had branched out, obviously one of the branched routes would lead the contestant to Tortuga castle. But the other branched route, which was the route Sheyan had chosen, was this black parchment paper!
The ice cold parchment paper was opened, spreading out on the table. A wave of cold air mixed with a thick musty smell assaulted his senses, causing him to sneeze uncontrollably. On the parchment paper, there were patterns drawn, obviously the person who used this parchment paper had a high status, probably a noble, and a rather high ranking one. What entered Sheyan's eyes was a line of words:
"He humiliated me, hindered me hundreds of times, mocked my losses, mocked my gains, despised my people, prevented my transactions, mocked my friends, aided my enemies. Why? Because I am a Jew … ….
The middle part of the text was already blurred, only the last part was still legible.
"With my soul and blood, I swear, we will join hands to create a future, even our descendants, we will live in peace for generations to come. Violators' blood will boil, their breathing will stop, the sun's radiance will cause their skin to fester, the smell of the land will confine their footsteps. “
Two signatures were written: Bernard Fogg. Fogg and Cooper Jones. “
Sheyan carefully examined the words on the parchment paper, unable to take his eyes off it, as though he wanted to embed every word into his mind. At the same time, he received a notification of 500 utility points + 300 pirate reputation. After a few minutes, the parchment paper was like an ice cube exposed to the scorching sun, slowly dissolving on the table and finally evaporating into the air. This mission had ended. Obviously, after choosing this branch route, the mission would end here, and the main reward would most likely be this parchment paper. Or more accurately, it would be the contents of this parchment paper!
Honestly speaking, the mission branch route that Sheyan chose, was much more difficult than the one that Chris and the rest chose. According to the realm's principle of greater difficulty, the rewards would be better. Undoubtedly, the contents of this parchment paper, in the nightmare realm's definition, was worth at least 20 pounds sterling + Lasalle's friendship + a series of possible side missions.
Sheyan sat in his room, pondering deeply for a long time. After a long time, he found a broom and carefully collected the broken 'Message Bottles' on the floor, before blowing out the candles and resting.
The next morning, Sheyan first returned to the Bell and Mug to take a look. After fulfilling his duties as crew head, he stood at the bow. He discovered that although the hurricane's destructive force had mostly dissipated, the remnant force was still present, and the sea was still as turbulent as before.
According to Sheyan's visual estimation, the waves outside the port were at least 5 metres high. Gazing into the distance, one could see layers upon layers of deep black hills surging towards them, brimming with an irresistible force. Under such circumstances, even a real world ship with a draft of less than a thousand tonnes would not dare to leave the port, what more a sailboat of the Pirates of the Caribbean world?
Witnessing such a scene, Sheyan was even more certain that the death of the Lord's wife would only be discovered after 2-3 days. He conveniently went to check on Chris, and reminded him that the security of the port had slackened, it was the best time to return to the party. However, Chris resolutely and decisively rejected this suggestion. Sheyan quickly discovered, this guy had unknowingly formed a connection with Xiaer, and after paying a certain price, he was still learning from Xiaer to upgrade his basic abilities!
Under Sheyan's coercion and enticement of his crew head status, Chris very unwillingly divulged the information he obtained. Generally speaking, it was related to charm. After paying a certain price, one could attempt to learn the basic abilities from storyline characters that were stronger than oneself. This also involved a hidden data 'compatibility'.
Compatibility was something that a contestant with a certain level of charm would be able to see. In layman's terms, it was to see if both parties hit it off. For example, a fiendish and eccentric person could have a life and death friendship, a handsome and confident person would similarly have a mortal enemy. This was the reason for compatibility.
Those contestants with high charm would often possess the ability to enslave creatures. At that time, they would usually obtain the ability to observe the compatibility value. If the creature had a high compatibility value with them, then enslaving it would naturally be a matter of course. But if the creature had a low compatibility value, then enslaving it would naturally result in twice the result with half the effort. But if the creature had a low compatibility value, they would rather die than submit.
Very obviously, the hidden affinity between Chris and Xiaer was exceedingly high, that was why Xiaer would impart his ability to him. But if one were to say that Chris wasn't ruthlessly ripped off, Sheyan wouldn't believe it. Looking at the pale complexion of his fat face, he was like an opium addict. Sheyan knew that he must have paid a painful price.
After obtaining this information from Chris, Sheyan started attempting to search for his pirate subordinates. But currently, he didn't dare to use this' insight 'ability which required a fee. After all, he already owed the nightmare realm 900 utility points, and the current amount of utility points he had was only 1340 points. Thus, Sheyan could only inquire the pirates on the ship, and beat around the bush to see if there was any possibility of success.
Regrettably, Sheyan's charm wasn't high. Furthermore, this sort of learning opportunity was still early on, the chances of encountering was extremely small. For example, Chris's charm was probably higher than Sheyan's. He already knew of this information in 3 worlds, and had encountered over a hundred storyline characters. But he only met the compatible Xiaer, and had to pay a huge price for it. The probability of that happening was extremely small. If not for Sheyan's current fame amongst the pirates, the pirates on the ship wouldn't even bother with him. Even now, they were only half-heartedly trying to brush him off.
Fortunately, Sheyan's hard work finally paid off. Blind Matt, the assistant assigned to him by Ammand, actually agreed to impart some footwork and dodging techniques to Sheyan. However, the prerequisite was that he had to train in public every morning. His objective was simple, to borrow Sheyan's inadequacies in this aspect to flaunt his own abilities, thus increasing his prestige and preparing for his promotion. (To be continued.)
