Chapter 164 Setting Sail
On the black ship, Avis stood on the deck, looking at the golden coastline of the Yar continent that was rapidly receding, his eyes uncertain.
The huge sails were inflated, and the double rows of strange long black oars were paddling extremely lightly and powerfully, sending the ship into the depths of the foggy sea.
The temporary residences for these outsiders were all on the top floor of the cabin.
Of course, there is a fee for this, one hundred gold coins per person. If you can't afford it, don't go.
Avis didn't like the strange smell in the cabin, which seemed like a mixture of rotten fish, smelly socks, and rotten garlic that had been left for several months.
The family guard Joem stood diagonally behind him, as if he was also looking at the scenery on the deck.
Prior to this, Avis asked Joem to use his mental power to thoroughly inspect the ship.
Detection feedback showed that although the appearance was a bit strange, there was nothing wrong with the ship itself and the crew were just ordinary islanders.
However, the detection of those outsiders did yield some unexpected surprises.
The blonde half-elf girl Claire is also on this ship!
It can be seen that she has done some disguise. Her figure has become taller, and she is wearing a gray cloak. Her figure and appearance have also been changed to that of a thin brown-haired man.
But under the eighth-level mental scan, these disguises are completely exposed.
When he learned of the girl's existence, Avis understood why the airship had suddenly encountered a flock of gray-winged terror birds, and the source of his sudden increase in fate feedback after getting off the airship.
Apparently, he was inexplicably drawn into Claire's explorer aura again and became a companion in the race with the tiger.
Fortunately, he currently has an eighth-level guard named Joem, who can kill the tiger manually.
To be honest, when he saw Claire, Avis knew that his trip to the island might not be peaceful.
He is also a mystic scholar/relic scholar/explorer, and he disguises himself to investigate an unknown deserted island that is said to be cursed.
If nothing happens, it would be a shame to her career and her reputation.
Once we get to the island, we must stay away from her. . ….….On the other side of the black ship, Claire, disguised as a thin young man, was a little worried about his future.
Unlike most others, her purpose in boarding the black ship was not for gems and harmonizers, but to resolve her own abnormal characteristics.
For some reason, her existence always brings misfortune to those around her.
The girl's origin is a mystery. On a starless night, she was abandoned in an orphanage as a newborn, where she was raised and adopted by a baron at the age of five.
But half a year after being adopted by the Baron, the Baron's manor was engulfed by fire.
An old wizard who was attracted by the fire found her hiding in the baron's room, but she had fainted due to the high temperature.
It was a strange scene. The raging flames had engulfed the entire manor. Everything was burned beyond recognition, but the baron's room was the only one that remained intact.
The walls of the room were only slightly blackened, and except for the slightly higher temperature, the interior was no different from before the fire.
The mage later carefully checked the Baron's room, but the results showed that the wall material of the Baron's room was no different from that of other rooms, all of which were cedar wood and rock.
The wizard instinctively sensed that she was different, so he accepted her as his student and began to teach her.
He soon discovered that the girl showed an extraordinary talent for things related to the mystical school.
Before entering Pamir Academy, the old wizard who adopted her encountered troubles. At the same time, he also noticed the strange characteristics of the girl.
After expending enormous energy and resources to temporarily solve the problem, the wizard immediately decided to send the girl to Pamir College for further studies and told her about her problem.
Due to her own trait of causing misfortune to those around her, the girl was always very careful to keep her emotions to herself at the academy and avoided getting too close to anyone.
Previously, after fully interpreting the contents of the ancient stone tablet borrowed from the mysterious library.
Claire discovered that what was written on the stone tablet was an ancient prayer, and in the obscure words of the prayer, it described an unnamed island deep in the foggy sea.
For some reason, she suddenly had a feeling in her heart: she needed to go there. . ….….Blue Star.
Although there were only seven days between the internal beta test and the public beta test, Jiang Heng felt that these seven days passed extremely slowly.
Without "Mystery Era" to play, he stays at home of several hundred square meters every day, and can only make a living by browsing game forums, ordering food delivery from star-rated hotels, and chatting with kittens.
However, these seven days are finally coming to an end.
In the last hour before the official launch of the server, Jiang Heng refreshed the forum out of habit.
Then, he suddenly saw that the game officials had just pinned a new progress report.
"What's updated?"
Jiang Heng clicked it out of curiosity and immediately saw the familiar official text of the game.
Dear Warriors:
【After receiving everyone's feedback, our technical staff worked overnight to carry out a comprehensive upgrade of the game system! 】
"oh--"
Jiang Heng nodded.
"The game planners and temporary workers worked overnight to add more kryptonian scamming mechanisms!"
[Fixed a lot of bugs and added more new game features! ]
“Fixed a handful of bugs and added a ton of new ones!”
[Added title and achievement system in the game. Some rare titles can add attributes to players. Please explore for more details. 】
"Backstab an eagle in flight without being detected, fish without missing a hook, feed five tigers at the same time with one slide tackle, challenge the impossible."
[At present, we are working hard to explore more gameplay, so stay tuned. ]
“The game content is currently only semi-finished. The folder for new content is already being created. Please don’t worry.”
[The public beta will start at 12 noon today, we sincerely look forward to your arrival.
——Official version of the game Mystery Era. 20xx, x month, xx day, 00:00. 】
After skillfully interpreting the content of the announcement, Jiang Heng closed the announcement.
After fifteen days of internal testing, with its immersive experience confirmed by many big Vs, "Mysterious Era" swept the market and became the most anticipated game.
After the internal test ended, the first generation of gaming helmets began to be sold on the official website for only 198 yuan, with a total of 26 colors to choose from.
You need to purchase it with your personal ID card, and each person is limited to one per ID card.
Jiang Heng could hardly imagine that a virtual helmet, a sci-fi device, could be sold so cheaply! Seven days later, the official website has already sold millions of copies! This is the data before the game was officially launched! Of course, in the past few days, there have been people who want to study the principles of virtual game helmets.
Cuckoo——
Why do pigeons coo?
Because this is the racial characteristic of pigeons.
