Chapter 290 Chapter 280 · "Brilliant Heaven"
The moment the lightning fell, the entire pitch-black sea surface was instantly illuminated, and the lightning fell like splitting the sky, followed by a sudden downpour.
"Crash-"
The raindrops fell rapidly, making a "tick" sound on the deck.
Su Mingan didn't observe any more, he found the stairs going up to the side, and went upstairs quickly to avoid being drowned by the sudden heavy rain.
...It turned out that the reason for the darkness was sudden heavy rain, not some other reason.
But I have to say that a sudden storm is not very auspicious for sea navigation.Many maritime accidents begin with a sudden rainstorm.
While the torrential rain was falling, the people who were smoking and blowing the wind on the deck did not dare to stay on the unsheltered deck. They gathered together and drilled into the cabin below, like a black torrent pouring into the cabin.
The Yate is a bit like the Titanic I have seen in movies before, with a total length of more than 200 meters.Its front deck is wide enough for a hundred people to gather, and the middle cabin is so tall that it is six stories high.He is now between the first and second floors, and there is a small balcony next to it where you can enjoy the sea view.
Looking from a distance, it was completely dark outside, and the waves were beating against the hull, and he felt a little unstable.
He went up to the second floor and saw the noble girl Saya waiting there, covering her face with a feather fan... and beside her was a serious old man in a dark uniform.
Judging from the standing position of the old man half a step back, he should be Saya's servant or housekeeper.
The old man was staring at him vigilantly, as if wary of him, a down and out nobleman with insufficient status.
"The weather has changed really fast." He ignored the old man's gaze and said to Miss Saya beside him.
"Yeah... I didn't expect that the voyage was normal for the previous ten days, but why there is a sudden storm today..." Saya also seemed to feel something was wrong.
But her expression soon calmed down, her posture was still as elegant as before, and her tone contained some consolation:
"However, Rin, you don't have to worry—the Yate is hailed by the Yate Empire as a pearl that will never fall, and it is the hope of the empire's expedition to the sea...it will not be overturned by a small storm."
Hearing her extremely affirmative words, Su Mingan felt something was wrong.
This familiar flag... how come he seems to have seen it in a movie.
"It's probably only two days' voyage away from the legendary sea city that contains endless treasures." Saya said confidently: "Just wait in peace, we don't need to think too much."
Her voice was steady, and she never seemed to doubt the meaning of her words.
She truly believes in the safety of this ship, and believes that it will not sink as it carries the hopes of the people of the empire.
She said, turned around, and walked up the stairs ahead.
The white-haired old man followed her closely, without saying a word, and separated Su Ming'an from her to prevent him from getting too close to her.
Although it is true that I am a down-and-out aristocrat who can't be seen on the stage...but is the old man's guard too strong, and he almost puts his dislike on the surface.
Su Mingan walked up the stairs, and heard Saya's voice floating down with a smile:
"Rin, I know you're a little seasick, but you can't go to the deck in the southern area...it's a civilian area, and you don't have any butlers or bodyguards around you. I don't know what those people will do to you... …If you feel uncomfortable afterwards, tell me, and I will accompany you to the deck in the North District, where the scenery is better and it is safer.”
"No accident will happen to me." Su Mingan said.
"Well, I know, Rin is a very powerful person... always has been." Saya stopped in her footsteps and turned her head around the corner of the stairs.
Behind her was a small round window, the turbulent waves beat against the swaying hull, and the night was as silent as water, opening behind her like a big round mouth.
And she stood where she was, stroking her hair, her blond hair dazzled like sunlight under the light.
"I've always known that no matter how difficult the situation is, Rin will definitely be able to get through it. Including family problems..."
As she spoke, she laughed, her tone full of anticipation: "As long as you hold on, you'll be there soon. The legendary sea city, Shangfang, is a city in the clouds full of treasures... as long as you can find something in it Treasure, Rin will definitely be able to revitalize the family..."
After listening to her words, Su Mingan understood.
It seems that this "Yate" is a giant ship sent by the Yate Empire to search for treasures.Its purpose is to find the legendary city.
On this giant ship, people from the Yate Empire of all colors gathered, including the declining nobles, the second daughters of the nobles who were not valued, the rich businessmen who were eager for treasure, the adventurers who were eager to explore, and the commoners who were in charge of doing coolies. .
They have different thoughts and ideas, but without exception, their purpose is to obtain the legendary "treasure".
It seems that the real game can't start until all the players arrive at the sea city.
... This should be an extremely exciting treasure hunt.
As for the current stage of the plot, it should be a prelude, in order to let players who have obtained the status of cruise ship passengers understand the situation.
The perfect customs clearance route...should only be accessible after arriving in the city.
This time the perfect clearance route was not given to him, so he could only explore it by himself, but fortunately, he has the weakness insight skill, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find clues.
Following Saya all the way up to the fourth floor, Su Mingan saw his door.
"Let's go here." Saya pointed to the room above, signaling that she would continue to go upstairs: "By the way, Rin, I forgot to ask you, how was the date with Miss Naraku?"
She asked with a smile, but there was an unconcealable sadness in her eyes.
Su Mingan suddenly remembered the text introduction about her.
[The second daughter of the Warren family, Ome who grew up with Su Rin.
Due to family pressure, she had to keep a distance from Su Lin whose family was declining. 】
...It seems that this Miss Saya really has a crush on him.
However, helplessly, the gap between their families is getting bigger and bigger, Su Lin's family is declining, and they gradually become misfits.
And the Miss Naluo who reprimanded him at the beginning may be a nobleman who is more suitable for Su Rin's status. Judging from the posture, it should be that she was planning to have a family marriage, but was rejected by Su Rin.
"Probably, it's not going well?" Su Mingan said.
Saya shook her head helplessly, as if she wanted to persuade her, but she didn't speak in the end.
In fact, she really hoped that... this date would not come true.
But when I think about Su Rin's current family situation... Ms. Naluo is the only heir in the family. Only by marrying her can Su Rin's family survive and not be divided up by other forces...
"Miss Naluo's temperament is relatively straightforward, you should follow her, she is the eldest lady of the Mill family after all..." Despite this, she still persuaded her.
She looked at Su Lin whose expression had not changed, knowing that he didn't listen, she just sighed:
"Rin, I know I can't persuade you. After all, if you get something out of this trip, maybe you don't have to compromise with other girls..."
She looked at him and took his in her white gloved hands.
"When night comes, you should take a good rest first, and I will go up first... Remember, don't go out casually at night, and don't open the door to anyone. This ship is full of fish and dragons. It's easy for you to take the boat alone without guards and servants. There are people with evil intentions eyeing you..."
As she spoke, she gently let go of his hand, with uncontrollable concern in her eyes.
"Miss, it's time to go back to the room."
Beside her, the old man coughed.
"I'll go first." Saya said softly, "See you tomorrow, Rin."
She took his hand and kissed the back of his hand politely:
"...May you have a good dream tonight."
"See you tomorrow." Su Mingan said.
Saya gave him the feeling that she was exactly the same as the legendary noble lady. She had a special aura on her body, noble but not overpowering, with an amiable and dignified attitude. People dare not get too close.
No matter at any moment, her back is straight, her demeanor is extremely dignified, and every step she takes seems to be carefully measured. Even if it is a simple farewell ceremony, every movement of her is just right, as if she has practiced countless times The angle of the handshake.
After getting his response, she gave him a gentle smile, turned around, and went up the stairs to the fifth floor.
She looked friendly and beautiful, like a golden tulip blooming in the night.
Like a noble kingdom princess.
The barrage seemed to be very interested in this kind of aristocratic girl, and they all howled to tell him to hurry up, wanting to see him stage a romantic story of a down-and-out aristocrat snatching a marriage, and to slap the old butler who sees people with colored glasses...
Su Mingan ignored these barrages that were not too serious to watch.
He didn't think the world dungeon this time would be so simple. As an initial important character, Saya must have something important in her background that he didn't know about.
... At present, it seems that the two noble ladies Saya and Naraku are the breakthrough point of his mission.No matter which one of them follows the route, you should be able to get in touch with the task of perfect customs clearance.
These two should be important figures in the full dungeon, similar to Hui Shuhang and Dong Xue in the past.
If given a choice, Su Ming'an would prefer to start with Saya.Her text introduction reads "intelligent and pure and kind". From the perspective of identity and background, her basic favorability should also be higher.It also looks much more normal than Miss Naluo who roared at the beginning.
As for the old housekeeper next to her... It's a trouble, this old man seems very wary of him, and doesn't seem to want him to get close.
Obviously his charm already has s, and the power holder's skill also stipulates that there will be no npc with "hatred" favorability value...
After him, maybe you need to consider whether you can brush up the opponent's favor, or use your skills directly...
He went back to his room and opened the door.
The noble room on the fourth floor looked very nice. The moment he opened the door, he thought he had entered some hotel.The bed is tidy, the room is bright, and the area is not small, much more luxurious than his personal space.
He closed the door and started searching the room for clues.
Exploration skills have already begun to work. It can automatically provide players with the location of key clue points within the field of vision in a non-combat state.
When Su Mingan entered the search state, he saw three places with red circles flashing in his field of vision.
Left end drawer, wardrobe, and under the bed.
He opened the drawer closest to him first, and found a poorly drawn map.
This map looks a bit old, the paper has turned yellow, and the lines are very rough, like a child's graffiti.
At least Su Mingan couldn't see where the map depicted.
……
【*You get identity clues (fuzzy map)】
[Identity Clue·Strange Map:
"The kingdom of heaven is splendid, and the world is dazzling."]
……
Unexplained hints.
Su Mingan stuffed the map into his backpack and opened the closet next to him.
The second clue is hidden. If it weren't for the insight skill, he would probably have to search for a long time to find it.
It was a gemstone, transparent throughout, hidden in the inner seal of the clothes, he cut open the clothes with Annihilation, and took out the gemstone.
【*You got a special item (Art Stone)】
【Stone of Art: An extremely rare resource stone that can detect the blood components in human body and is used to distinguish dangerous soul races that hunt and kill human beings.It is the main trade item traded with sea cities during this voyage. 】
【Use times: 3/3】
……

[Soul Clan: A dangerous race mixed among humans, who feed on human souls and blood, possessing innate powerful power.
They have perfectly integrated into human beings, live together with human beings, and are perfect assassins in the dark night.
On the surface, soul races are no different from humans, except that their eyes turn scarlet when they are emotionally ups and downs.Other than that, only the Stone of Art can identify it.
Ordinary human beings have no power to fight back against the killing of the soul race.Only a few humans who have mastered the blessing power of the gods, known as "soul hunters", can hunt them.
Fortunately, with the strength of the soul hunters increasing, the traces of the soul race have gradually disappeared in the Yate Empire.But the legendary sea city is still full of dangers, it is a paradise where countless surviving dangerous soul races are hidden...]
