The things recorded in the logbook are very simple.
It records where the Giant Bird docked, what supplies were purchased, which route was taken, what weather was encountered, which company’s merchant ship was robbed on which route, and so on.
Without comparing it with the nautical chart, Du Ge has no idea what locations those routes correspond to.
He pays more attention to the major events that Paul recorded happening around the world, which helps him understand this world better.
For example:
The Ghost Ship suddenly appeared on a certain route in a certain year and month, and encountered a certain merchant convoy. None of the sailors on the merchant ship survived, and they all disappeared.
The King of the East Sea, Mahamazhu, defeated the Royal Navy once again and killed Rear Admiral Kik. The reward amount has increased to 200,000 gold coins.
The King of the North Sea, Luo Lang Swann, discovered the artifact, the Ocean Horn, on the wreckage of an ancient pirate ship. It is said that after blowing the horn, it can summon ancient sea monsters sleeping at the bottom of the sea to help in battle.
And the latest information:
The daughter of the Sea God, Zhan Sini, issued a reward to find the Sea God’s Scepter. She promised that whoever finds the Sea God’s Scepter will receive the artifact, Ocean Feather, and the opportunity for eternal life.
The purpose of the Giant Bird this time is to go to Hede Island to find the witch He Ya. It is said that she can divine the specific location of the Sea God’s Scepter.
…
It seems that finding the Sea God’s Scepter should be the main storyline of this simulation field.
Du Ge thought to himself.
The four pirate kings, the witch, the daughter of the Sea God, and Selma, the Ocean Horn…
There are so many strange things in the world now, and the difficulty is obviously much higher than the previous two simulation fields.
Unfortunately, he randomly obtained two trash keywords, one being “happiness” and the other being “slacking off”.
It seems that it won’t be easy to compete with other players!
Nan Youlong told him that regardless of whether he enters the top ten of the rankings or not, he will be sent to the Alien Star Battlefield. But Du Ge doesn’t plan to slack off in this simulation field.
He may randomly encounter bad keywords in the Alien Star Battlefield. If he wants to grow, he must force himself to adapt to the potential of developing any keyword.
Only in this way can he become stronger and achieve his goals.
…
Seeing Du Ge’s gaze constantly lingering on the page about finding the Sea God’s Scepter, Piero had a bad premonition in his heart.
It was because of Paul’s insistence on finding the Sea God’s Scepter that it caused their collective betrayal. If the amnesiac Paul still wants to find the Sea God’s Scepter, does that mean they will betray again?
This time, Paul has the ability to be immortal, so it won’t be so easy to kill him!
“So, you guys are really my crew.” Du Ge closed the logbook and looked at Piero with a bitter smile. “Piero, unfortunately, the logbook didn’t help me regain my memory.”
“It’s okay, we can take it slowly.” Piero comforted with a smile.
“Piero, why doesn’t Zhan Sini go find the Sea God’s Scepter herself?” Du Ge asked. “She is the daughter of the Sea God, so it should be easier for her to find her dad’s scepter! Why bother with a reward?”
As soon as these words came out, Piero knew that Du Ge had really lost his memory.
No one would ask such a stupid question except for someone with amnesia.
“Zhan Sini has been sealed by the Sea God. Only the Sea God’s Scepter can help her lift the seal.” Piero said.
“So, to get the Sea God’s Scepter, you have to defeat the Sea God?” Du Ge asked.
“No one can defeat the Sea God.” Piero looked at Du Ge as if he was looking at an idiot. “Moreover, the Sea God has already fallen. Before he died, he sealed all his divine power into the Sea God’s Scepter. Only by obtaining the Sea God’s Scepter can Zhan Sini inherit the power of the Sea God, break through the seal, and become the new Sea God.”
“Does the Sea God only have one daughter?” Du Ge asked.
“Yes.” Piero said.
“Then why didn’t he just give the scepter to Zhan Sini before he died? Why seal his divine power into the Sea God’s Scepter?” Du Ge said, “Isn’t that pointless? Is he crazy?”
“…” Piero choked, shrugged, and said, “Who knows? It’s also possible that he doesn’t like his own daughter, or maybe this is his test for Zhan Sini. We are all mortals, how could we possibly know what happened between the gods?”
“Since the Sea God’s divine power is sealed in the Sea God’s Scepter, doesn’t that mean that anyone who obtains the scepter can become the new Sea God?” Du Ge’s eyes lit up. “Why bother giving it to Zhan Sini and exchanging it for the Ocean Feather?”
“Mortals cannot control divine power, and they cannot use the scepter even if they obtain it.” Piero confirmed that Du Ge had lost his memory 100%. The questions he asked were becoming more and more foolish. “If mortals forcibly use the Sea God’s Scepter, their life force will be drained and they will die.”
“I see!” Du Ge nodded thoughtfully. After a moment, he looked at Piero and said, “Piero, I think the Sea God’s Scepter is a conspiracy.”
“?” Piero was stunned.
Paul has been asking about the Sea God’s Scepter all along, and he was increasingly worried that Paul would have the desire to search for the scepter again. Unexpectedly, in the end, he heard such an answer from Du Ge’s mouth.”Jenny promised to reward the Feather of the Sea if her scepter is retrieved,” Du Ge laughed, “Let’s not talk about the importance of this Feather of the Sea. But even her father has fallen, proving that gods can die too. How can she promise immortality? This must be a conspiracy.”
Oh, my captain!
Who would have thought that you’ve become smarter after losing your memory!
You even spotted the loophole in the reward…
But the immortality of mortals and gods should not be the same concept, right?
Facing an ignorant Paul, Piero swallowed his worries. He nodded affirmatively, “Yes, it’s indeed a conspiracy. I’ve said it before, we shouldn’t go looking for the Sea God’s Scepter. A single reward has stirred up all the pirates in the sea. These people are idiots, one after another. I bet they will all be swallowed by this huge whirlpool.”
“Piero, is our purpose of this trip to find the witch?” Du Ge asked.
“Yes,” Piero replied, “Paul, since you already know that the Sea God’s Scepter is a conspiracy, we don’t need to go. You’ve lost your memory, perhaps, we should find a doctor first.”
“Is there a better doctor than the witch?” Du Ge laughed, “If even she can’t cure my amnesia, then no other doctor in the world can.”
“…”
Piero was stunned, not knowing whether Paul was pretending or not.
He now suspected that Paul was using a roundabout way to trick them into continuing to search for the Sea God’s Scepter.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?” Du Ge smiled, “Piero, don’t worry that I will do something stupid like looking for the Sea God’s Scepter. Remember what I said before? Life is short, enjoy it while you can. Now, I think happiness is more important. We go to Hede Island, one, to find the witch, see if she can solve my amnesia; two, we can also see how many fools are looking for the so-called Sea God’s Scepter?
What’s more enjoyable than watching a bunch of people doing stupid things? Maybe, we can even profit from their foolishness…”
“Alright, I’ll go discuss with Barry and convey your opinion to everyone.” Piero looked at Du Ge again, left the captain’s room with a lot of doubts.
To be honest.
He found it hard to understand Du Ge after his memory loss, even his personality seemed to have changed.
After Piero left.
Du Ge also left the captain’s room and headed to the kitchen.
He couldn’t operate such a large ship alone, so he had to keep the people on board.
And his attribute enhancement also needed cooperation from others.
So.
Amnesia became a good excuse to ease the relationship with everyone. Without Paul’s memory, he didn’t even need to pretend deliberately. Even if his personality changed, he could blame it on the sea monster Selma.
But he still needed to approach the main storyline.
After all.
There were too few people on the ship, which was not conducive to his performance.
He had been happily fooling everyone on the ship with the excuse of amnesia, and his attributes had been slowly increasing.
But the speed of increase was too slow.
Now, Du Ge had to quickly enhance his strength. He needed a strong force to stabilize the situation on the ship.
Back then, Feng Zhong’s manipulation could create an advanced skill by tweaking the ears. He could definitely do the same through physical means. Even if he couldn’t create an advanced skill, it would be nice to increase some attributes.
Thanks to the alliance leader “A History Untold” for the reward. I was planning to use the afternoon to organize the subsequent plot. Now, I decided to try to update one more time for you. If I can’t finish it today, I’ll add it tomorrow. It will definitely be there.＾＿＾！
