My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1079 1077. The most dangerous place is the safest place, so it is probably safe for me to test the edge of danger

"That is to say, the foreign mechanical masters will also be given the power to participate in the cause of restarting the Creator's legacy? And we need to hand over those important items that have stopped working to them for repair? Is this really the Creator's oracle?
Your Mightiness."

In a luxurious living room of the Green Shade Palace, the bright and beautiful Princess Fulier played with her golden scepter. After listening carefully to Murphy's description, she frowned and said:
"It's not that I don't trust our foreign friends who walk with us under the glory of the Creator, but whether the Creator's legacy can be successfully restarted is related to the present and future of the empire. This matter is not something I can decide. I must report it to my father."

"Of course, I don't ask the Songhai people to generously give away their treasures. This is not decent behavior."

Murphy nodded and said:
"Please report to the Pharaoh, and inform him that my foreign scholars have successfully restarted a power armor under the Creator."

"?!"

These words made the eyes of Princess Shahai and Priest Berdinos standing next to her widen immediately.

Ever since the Creator took back his power, the most elite mechanics of the Songhai Empire have been working hard to restart the relics that have stopped working. But let alone restarting the power armor, even their repair of the simpler Creator weapons is extremely slow.

For example, there is still an ultra-advanced automatic machine tool in Origin Port that has not been started. When the princess and her fiancé heard about the outstanding achievements made by the foreigners, they were instantly shocked.

"Are you sure?"

Priest Berdinos asked with a serious expression:
"It's not that I don't believe you, Your Excellency, but Your Highness and I need to see it with our own eyes."

"Of course, it's on one of the several airships that came with us. You two can go check it out anytime."

Murphy waved his hand with a smile and said:
“I am not using this matter to deliberately provoke the top brass of the Songhai Empire. I am only making a request for cooperation on behalf of the foreign scholars. Only by working together can the heritage in the hands of the Songhai people be restored as quickly as possible, and both sides can learn valuable knowledge from this process.

This is cooperation and a win-win situation.

Of course, my scholars will also demonstrate their strength to the Empire by restoring the Creator's relics near the Port of Origin. Although the Transians are wild by nature, they also understand the principle of humility.

Until the Pharaoh sees the foreigners' skills with his own eyes, we will not make further requests, but if it is confirmed that the cooperation between the two sides can be advanced, then we hope to obtain at least one solar boat as a sample to try and learn.

But don't worry.

If we can repair the Solar Boat, we will share the complete repair method with the Songhai Empire.

This is a promise from me!"

Princess Fulier did not respond immediately.

After all, the matter involved a national treasure of the level of the Solar Ship, which was not something she could decide alone. However, Her Royal Highness the Princess absolutely agreed with Murphy's request to allow foreign scholars to demonstrate their skills in the Port of Origin.

Although the Pharaoh has tried his best to appease the people in the country, the fact that the Creator has taken back his power is a very significant change for believers.

The people were therefore anxious, fearing that the Songhai people were no longer loved by the Creator. In this environment, the emergence of a group of mechanics who could repair the Creator's relics could undoubtedly be seen as a good sign.

Although Fulier is not the first in line to the throne of the Songhai Empire, as a member of the royal family, she also has to consider the overall situation.

Therefore, Murphy's proposal was quickly approved. After watching Her Royal Highness the Princess and her fiancé leave the palace and secretly going to the airship to check on the repaired power armor, Murphy was finally able to use his afterlife orb to give new task instructions to the players.

"We have to wait here for the arrival of the Lord and Hogg. These few days are enough for the explorers to get in touch with more Creator equipment at the Port of Origin."

Murphy stood up and said to Tris who was walking out from the depths of the palace:

"You are very familiar with this city, so could you temporarily serve as the players' quest guide in the Songhai Empire?"

"Of course, I don't have anything urgent to finish anyway."

Tris shrugged.

She really wanted to tour the city, so Murphy smiled and took Tris's hand as they walked in the green palace to relax. At the same time, he switched the perspective to that of the blood-eating vulture Ravno, who was currently sinking high in the sky, so that he could enjoy the scenery of the city shrouded in sunset and the large library that Tris had been thinking about from above.

Speaking of the Great Library of Issus, even Murphy, an "unlearned" guy, has heard of its name.

The collection of this largest library in the world covers most of the information from the beginning of the era thousands of years ago to the present. The most outrageous thing is that this library, which occupies one-sixth of the area of ​​the port city, does not only contain Songhai people's classics.

The historical and cultural books of other ethnic groups collected or copied by the Songhai people all have their own storage areas. The Songhai people's continuous collection over a thousand years has brought the collection here to an astonishing level, and these books have been well preserved.

This inadvertently created a very darkly humorous result.

For example, if the Plantagenet Kingdom wanted to understand the historical context of the early activities of the Sealands, it had to send people to the Great Library of Issus to look for records.

It's the same with the Yankees.

Although the conquest of the Great Wilderness by the heroic King Boris is the most epic in the history of the Yankees, the most detailed historical materials about the conquest of the Great Wilderness over the past decades are not in the Royal Library of Northwind Fort, but in the library of the Songhai people.

Even the legend of the North Wind God coming to give Boris the three holy objects can be found in detailed records here.

Therefore, this library can be regarded as a place of "legal system" in a sense. If you want to understand the historical changes of this world, you can basically find detailed records of every era in this library.

More than three hundred years ago, the Songhai Empire and the Elf Kingdom fought a short but far-reaching war, which resulted in the Songhai people being unable to send travelers around the continent during that period. The indirect result was that errors and omissions appeared in the historical records of the continent during that period, making the truth of many historical events obscure.

From this point of view, the lofty title that the Songhai people claim as "historical recorders" is not an exaggeration.

The racial character of the Songhai people can be seen from this large library alone. A race that is willing to spend time collecting traces of their own and others' civilizations will never fall into the forces of chaos. They respect history and call it the teachings of the Creator. This alone is enough to make Murphy's favor for the Songhai people even higher.

But there is also the problem that this library is too large.

Previously, many areas in this library were managed using the Creator's technology. Therefore, after the Creator took back his power, the Great Library of Issus has been closed until now. The Songhai mechanics are doing their best to repair the various equipment in the library and reclassify and manage them.

But this thing is too large and contains too many books, so it would take several years to reset the management system.

The most outrageous thing is that those precious and rare books that were well preserved were often locked in underground storage, but now the system is down and those books are sealed and cannot be taken out, even forcing the managers of large libraries to demolish part of the library building to try to get those precious documents out again.

Following Revno's perspective, Murphy could clearly see that there were Songhai construction teams busy around the main body of the 100-meter-high white lighthouse-like building, and several smaller buildings had been dismantled from the ground.

It seems that these guys have buried quite a few books underground.

He told this to Tris with some regret. The Scarlet Witch's plan to revisit the old place would probably have to wait for a while. At least until the rescue operation of those rare books was completed, this large library would most likely not allow tourists in.

Then, this idea was mercilessly ridiculed by Tris:

"Do you really think your girlfriend is a well-behaved vampire? Little Murphy, I have plenty of ways to get into that library."

Tris snorted and said:
"I know of six ways to bypass the Songhai's supervision and sneak into different areas of the Issus Library. In fact, we can send this as an 'exploration plot' to the restless players.

That library contained more than just history; the Songhai also hid in it whatever tomes of power they could find.

The number of secret manuals and notes of various power systems and schools that exist in the Old Continent is definitely beyond your imagination. If players can sneak in and copy some precious information, it will be of great help to their future career development.

Especially those texts recording forbidden techniques, the inheritance that may have been cut off in other places can be found here.

This kind of thing would not be possible with the players' level in the past. The monitoring system left by the Creator is spread throughout every corner of the Great Library. However, now is a good opportunity."

"But if they get caught it could be a diplomatic incident."

Murphy rubbed his chin and said:

"It sounds risky. It's too risky to let a group of clumsy warriors do this kind of thing, so it's assigned as a special task to stealth players, thieves, and hunters, and only players above the silver rank are allowed to participate. Of course, we don't want to be thieves, so we are only allowed to copy and read, not take it away.

With the help of the calculation orb to record, this task is easy to complete."

"Ha, you can't control their hands!"

Tris shook her head and said:
"Especially since many of the books that record forbidden techniques are cursed, it is impossible to copy them."

"I can't control it, but don't forget that the little players have now completed the 'networking' operation."

Murphy pointed to the sky and said:
"Our in-game 'network administrator' Ms. Rose has plenty of ways to warn them. Players are very courageous most of the time, but as long as you grasp some key points, they can become very timid.

Give it a try.

Just give them something to do, so that they don't let down their guard and mess around in Origin Port, which would cause more trouble. That would be bad."

"Okay, then I'll go to the library tonight to reminisce about the glorious past, just as a 'teaching guide' for the players."

Tris brushed her long hair, kissed Murphy on the cheek, then spread her wings and flew out of the palace, heading towards the inn where the players were.

After his girlfriend left, Murphy looked back at the shadows behind him in the sunset and said:

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"Why are you hiding there? You are no longer wanted, so there is no need to be so cautious, right?"

"Oh, I'm used to it. After all, I've been chased by the vicious Songhai people for more than a hundred years. I've been caught by them several times. The most dangerous time was when I was tied to the torture platform. If Pablo hadn't kidnapped the mayor of Origin Port at the time and came to save me, I'm afraid I would have died long ago."

First Officer Claire stepped out from the shadows.

Because this time she came to the Songhai Empire in the name of the Transian delegation, she did not wear her pirate outfit that was the same as the sexy uniform, but changed into a uniform similar to the navy uniform, which gave this coquettish pirate sister a touch of dignified charm.

But looking at her drunken appearance, you could tell that this guy might have found the palace's wine cellar and had a small party there.

"Pablo is calling you to the dock."

Claire put her hands on her hips and said:

"He's going to give you his 'Pirate King's Treasure' tonight."

"what?"

Murphy blinked and said:
"The things you hide should be very secretive. Wouldn't it attract the attention of the Songhai people if you leave the port now?"

“It’s very secretive indeed.”

Claire curled her lips, stamped her feet, and said:
“The treasure house is in a cave on the edge of the sea outside the Port of Origin. It’s less than ten kilometers away from here, so there’s no need to sail there.

Pablo always said that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is, so he hid his treasure right under the noses of the Songhai people. I thought he was crazy at the time, but it turned out that guy's crooked ideas do work sometimes.

His treasure had been hidden here for more than a hundred years and had never been discovered.

Even if someone knew that Pablo's secret treasure was nearby, those treasure hunters would not dare to approach the Origin Port. The Songhai navy was not a pushover. They might not be able to catch up with the pirates in the open sea, but with their firepower in the near sea, no pirate would come to give themselves up. After all, even the Dagon fishmen who were not afraid of anything in the sea would go around the Songhai navy."

"Huh? Right near the city? You guys are really brave."

Murphy raised his eyebrows and asked:

"But wouldn't it be difficult for Pablo to get close to his treasure?"

"So, why do you think the two of us have been wanted by the Songhai Empire for more than a hundred years, and the combined bounty is over five million?"

Upon hearing this question, Claire immediately complained:
"Because of that insane idea, every time we deliver something to the treasure trove, we have to complete a coastal robbery first, and then attract the fleet of the Port of Origin to come over. We can sneak over here, and we have to choose the monsoon season every year, and only dare to approach here under the cover of the storm.

In the end, the locals began to spread rumors that the Blood Dread Pirates could manipulate storms and would always arrive at the Origin during the most dangerous storm of the year.

I admit that Pablo's treasure is one of the most luxurious treasures I have ever seen, but it is too difficult to get it out.

What's more, the Songhai Empire has lost the protection of the Creator's power, and many of their weapons are unusable. This means that other factions of the Blood Fear Pirates are destined to come here to plunder regularly in the future.

Pablo was aware of the risk.

He thinks that instead of wasting time and effort to move the treasure away, it is better to give it to Transia right here, and he can also donate it to earn some reputation and improve your favor. Anyway, we won't need these things when we get ashore in the future."

"What a great idea! What a great gift! It's so generous that I can't say no."

Murphy gave a thumbs up and said sternly:

"So, I have to take on the additional risk of being discovered by the Songhai people and regarded as an enemy?"

"Look at what you said. You are the chosen one of God! The Songhai people must be crazy to be hostile to you. This country is now eager to serve you and lick you until you are satisfied so that we can pray for you to bestow the blessing of God again."

Claire grinned and said:
"Let alone a pirate treasure, even if you ask the Pharaoh to open the treasury, these blue-skinned guys might do it."

Murphy shrugged, got the location of the Jedi from Claire, and after nightfall, he quietly left the palace with Bertie and Penny and went to a deserted beach outside the Origin Port Pier to meet Pablo.

When they arrived at their destination, they saw a big pirate in a cool navy admiral's uniform pretending to be serious at several weathered graves on the deserted beach.

"When I was still human, some of my best friends died young."

Pablo poured the wine from the flagon in front of the grave and sighed:
"I buried them here to fulfill their last wishes and to mark my treasure in a way that only Claire and I know."

"Excuse me, can I ask you a question?"

Murphy asked with a strange expression:

"How did some of your good friends die?"

"Oh, I killed them myself, because they tried to steal my treasure and I found them. I killed them one by one, and that settled all the grudges."

The Blood-Feared Duke turned around and said with a malicious grin:
"Murphy, you are the only outsider besides them who will enter my treasure house. Maybe there will be an extra grave for you here.

You know, for pirates, the word treasure is always associated with betrayal, curse and death."

"Stop talking nonsense. You are no longer a pirate, Pablo."

Murphy was not scared by such a ridiculous threat. He took out his pocket watch to check the time and said:

"I have to get back before Princess Fulier returns to the Green Shade Palace. I don't have much time left. Lead the way, you old sea dog."

"Yes, I am about to leave my glorious and successful pirate career. Alas, my life is about to lose a precious possibility."

Pablo took a sip of wine, turned and walked towards the rising tide beach behind him, and said:

"Come, allow me to pay you this loyalty tax, my governor."
