145: Ancient Greek god of treasure chests
Jiang Xiaowen also added, "That's right, he is a Pirate among Pirates, unruly and stubborn. Even if you find him, it will be difficult to persuade him to cooperate."
"Then what if we beat him into submission?"
Han Huohuo, with his blockhead, had very linear thoughts. Since cooperation was difficult, he immediately thought of a violent solution.
It wasn't Han Huohuo's fault for thinking this way. This world was like that; reasoning was useless, beating someone into submission was the way to go.
Red Beard's face turned pale with fright. "He's not a small Pirate like us. He has a huge fleet. Most importantly, he's one of the seven great Pirate leaders under the Pirate King. If you hit him, the Pirate King won't just stand by and do nothing, right?"
"Sacpu?"
Han Huohuo remembered Han Xin's introduction to him back then. Among the third-rank Heroes, there was a Sacpu, who was a Pirate King. He didn't expect the Black Wizard to be under his command.
As soon as Han Huohuo uttered the name Sacpu.
Jiang Xiaowen and Red Beard were both stunned with fright.
Shh!
"Brother, you must never say that name casually. It's a taboo, something you can't say out loud at sea. I beg you."
Red Beard was almost scared to tears.
Han Huohuo scratched his head. He didn't expect the Pirate King to be so terrifying that even his name couldn't be mentioned?
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go find the Black Wizard first. I have quite a few treasures on hand, maybe I can make a deal with him."
"Right, a deal. Pirates like making deals the most."
"Do you know where the Black Wizard is?" Han Huohuo asked Red Beard.
Red Beard shook his head, indicating he didn't know. Before Han Huohuo got angry, he quickly explained, "Although I don't know where the Black Wizard is, I know where to go to get information about him!"
"Where?"
"Black Island!"
"Yes, Black Island. There's the strongest intelligence center in the Pirate world. You can find anyone at sea there, including the Black Wizard, of course!"
Red Beard and Jiang Xiaowen spoke in unison, and Han Huohuo understood.
He originally wanted to set off immediately.
But at Jiang Xiaowen's enthusiastic invitation, he decided to rest for a day on Wind Whisper Island.
He had to admit, Jiang Xiaowen's red wine was of good quality. Han Huohuo drank until he was slightly tipsy. After eating and drinking his fill, Jiang Xiaowen took Han Huohuo, Mu Jiu, Zheng He, and Red Beard to tour the beautiful island together.
It was like a pearl in the vast sea.
It was indeed too beautiful.
There were natives on the island, a small city with a population of about one hundred thousand.
All the houses were pure white, and the scenery was picturesque, which reminded Han Huohuo of Santorini on Earth.
The differences were also obvious. Besides residences and fortresses, there were also various turrets built all over the mountains. There were even more turrets and arrow towers near the docks.
"Do you have some special building talent?" Han Huohuo was very surprised, because turrets should theoretically have a quantity limit.
But just walking around, without even needing to count specifically, there were at least several hundred turrets, protecting the place airtightly.
Jiang Xiaowen clapped her hands and laughed, "You're amazing, you saw it at a glance. I have a talent called Unlimited Turrets, which means there's no limit to the number of turrets I can build. As long as there are enough resources and space, I can cover this world with turrets!"
Han Huohuo gasped. This skill was actually very terrifying. Being a Pirate was a bit of a waste of talent, because there was too little land at sea, and resources like wood and stone were also scarce.
If this were in the Ten Thousand Mountains, this young lady would probably be an extremely terrifying existence as well. Just imagine covering the Ten Thousand Mountains with all sorts of turrets; perhaps neither the Great Qian Dynasty nor the Barbarians would be able to take a single step.
"It's just, the quality of your turrets seems a bit poor? Why are their levels so low?"
He didn't see any high-level turrets on the island, only C-grade and D-grade arrow towers and turrets. Han Huohuo couldn't help but say it. Jiang Xiaowen sighed, "I'm not a cunning merchant like you. Turret blueprints are almost never seen in the market. When a high-level turret blueprint occasionally appears, the price is astronomical. How could I afford it?"
Han Huohuo chuckled.
At night, they stayed in the luxurious guesthouse arranged by Jiang Xiaowen. It was very comfortable, and there was even a swimming pool at the entrance.
He played with Mu Jiu for a while, and was just about to go to bed to do some exercise.
A knock sounded at the door.
Han Huohuo was furious. Who was so tactless as to disturb him at this time?
He put on his clothes and opened the door.
He saw Gou San standing at the door, holding five treasure chests in his arms. They looked very heavy.
Han Huohuo's mouth formed an 'O' shape. He didn't bother being angry anymore and quickly took the treasure chests, bringing them inside the room.
"King, I had nothing to do, so I walked around this island and found several treasure chests. I don't know what's wrong with the people here, they don't even want the treasure chests. I brought them all back for you."
Han Huohuo took out a hundred gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Gou San's hand. "Brother, you've worked hard. Go back and get some good rest."
Gou San was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes.
Just for a few chests, the King gave me a hundred gold coins! He's too good to me!
Gou San left with gratitude, vowing to be worthy of Han Huohuo.
After Gou San left, Mu Jiu chuckled softly from behind, "This guy is a bit interesting, but his loyalty isn't very stable. I wouldn't dare to give him important tasks."
Mu Jiu didn't like Gou San because this scoundrel had kidnapped her back to the mountain stronghold midway. But life here seemed pretty good, and she gradually forgot her resentment.
Han Huohuo smiled, "There's no such thing as a perfect person. Gou San's minor flaws don't matter. Just use his right abilities."
Originally, after opening many chests, the treasure chests at sea were quite special, all blue chests made of unknown material. Han Huohuo didn't have too many expectations.
But opening the first chest completely confused Han Huohuo.
[Thunder God Turret Blueprint]: S-grade blueprint, can build S-grade Thunder God Turret, can attack air, sea, and land targets.
The turret comes with lightning damage, and can also station mage-type troops. Each turret has a maximum capacity of ten people. Mage power is increased tenfold, and range is increased tenfold.
[Construction]: Wood 200, Stone 200, Iron 100, Radiant crystal 2. A maximum of eight can be built in each city.
......
What the hell, that girl just said she didn't have high-level turret blueprints?
There was an S-grade turret blueprint on her own island, and she couldn't find it. Who could she blame?
Han Huohuo began to wonder if he had given Gou San too little by giving him a hundred gold coins.
Then Han Huohuo opened the second treasure chest.
[Frost Armor] All basic attributes +4.
[System detected that you already possess the Ice Dagger, Frost Armor, Frost Boots, and Frost Circlet four treasures. They can be combined into the divine artifact Ice Blade. Do you wish to combine?]
"Combine!"

A shining blue longsword, incredibly cool and invincible. The key was that its attributes were also invincible.
