This is the first draft. I sent it in a hurry. I will revise it and read it best without words.

Raymond asked with curiosity on his face: "Anna, have you cracked the secret of how this pointer points?"

According to the [Endless Pointer] in Anna's hand, the fleet of "Pirate King" Delos must have been to a special secret realm. The pointer will point very strangely in Jaffatron. Every day at around three o'clock in the afternoon, the pointer will point

The northeast will suddenly point to the sky again, as if it is in chaos.

In addition, the legend about the "City in the Sky" has been circulated among the giants for countless years, which makes people full of the most beautiful longing for the mysterious country at the top of the giant tree.

What will the scenery look like on the clouds?

Even in the previous game, Raymond had never heard of anyone actually going up there.

Climb a tree?

Obviously this is not the correct way to open it.

"yes!"

Anna smiled and nodded, and said: "I asked some elders of the giant tribe in the city and confirmed some clues in ancient legends from them. Later I went to check some navigation information and added the [Endless Pointer]

The navigation command on the ship finally confirmed that the 'Pirate King's Fleet' had indeed gone to that secret place in the sky... Moreover, I also figured out the method to get to that secret place."

"Really, Sister Anna?"

"Wow, are we going to have an adventure in the sky?"

"Will the sky be the palace of the gods? It's so exciting! Captain, let's trigger it quickly!"

"..."

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the "ghost group" were filled with surprise, and each one of them shouted that they would go to heaven.

For people in the world of sailing, sailing adventure has always been the most charming journey in life. Especially for ancient civilizations that have never been explored by anyone, this is definitely a fatal temptation...

Raymond asked curiously: "Anna, there is really a country in the sky. What is there?"

After a pause, he continued to ask: "And, how are we going to get there?"

Of course, in fact, the most convenient way is to ask Mr. Capone. This captain of the "One Piece Fleet" has been there before, and he knows what the secret of the "Castle in the Sky" is.

Raymond didn't ask.

When chatting with Capone before, the big boss once asked Raymond seriously: I do know the ultimate truth of the world, but do you really want me to tell you everything now? Such a world is harmful to anyone.

As far as humans are concerned, there is no such thing as beauty.

It seems that suddenly a senior who has passed the level has written a game guide. If you follow it, you can reach the end of the game world.

Although it is a shortcut, it also loses the fun of exploring the gorgeous sailing world.

Oh, seriously speaking, Capone didn’t actually clear the level either.

Back then, the fleet of the "Pirate King" was destroyed at the last hurdle. Delos took them very far, so far that no one in this world could compare... But maybe, they took the wrong path.

Capone said that he hopes Raymond will find his own way.

Anna smiled mysteriously and asked: "Leymond, didn't you say that there is a secret place for the survival of the high elves in this world?"

Raymond's expression changed slightly, and he was obviously surprised, "You mean... that ancient country in the sky is the secret realm where high elves live?"

"According to the clues I found from the ancient books and documents of the giants, during a certain period of ancient civilization, the giants, dwarves, high elves, dragons and humans were war allies, and they jointly fought against the ancient demons..."

Anna nodded and briefly explained the clues she had obtained. She reconstructed some ancient events from incomplete ancient books and legends of the giants.

"Legend... Later, for unknown reasons, the alliance of the five races was torn apart. The goddess of the elves created an 'Elven Secret Realm', and the high elves disappeared from then on..."

After listening to what Anna said, Raymond's eyes moved frequently, and his thoughts were racing in his mind.

As far as he knew now, the high elves definitely existed in this world. After all, he had rescued the elven prince in the city of Eludnes before.

But obviously, as far as he knows, the high elves seem to be at war recently, and the situation is not optimistic?

If we really go now, we might encounter unforeseen dangers.

Hearing this, the most excited person was Colin.

He was like this nerdy mechanic who was originally the most indifferent person to sailing adventures, but when he heard about the destination, he immediately became excited: "Captain, if it is really the secret realm of the elves, doesn't that mean we can go find the [Moon Stone]?"

?Perhaps... we can also find the dictionary of the common language of the ancient dwarves from the elves, and then decipher the [Book of Golden Runes of the Dwarves]?"

[Moon God Stone] is one of the most important core components of Colin Cruz's alchemical body. If you find that kind of thing, his attacks will be accompanied by "divinity". In layman's terms, it is the "Armed Haki" of the mechanic.

"! That will definitely bring a qualitative leap to his combat effectiveness.

Nicole on the side also looked forward to it: "If we can decipher those legends, epics, and even mythical runes...then whether it is our 'Golden Ghost' or 'Magic Cannon' or 'Magic Annihilation Weapon'

Can get a qualitative improvement! By then, our rune technology will be able to surpass the World Government for at least hundreds of years..."

It’s no wonder that the two mechanics in the group are so excited. Colin and Nicole were almost stunned when they looked at the pile of [Dwarf Golden Rune Books] all day long. But unfortunately, apart from understanding the most basic

Some of the legendary runes that the world has mastered, those lost legendary runes, epic runes, and mythical runes are completely unclear...

It can be said that if they do not understand the common language of the ancient dwarves, they will never be able to decipher this rune book in their lifetime.

It’s such a pity that you have the treasure mountain in your hand, but you can’t get into it.

Now that the basic modification of the "Golden Ghost" has been roughly completed, the metal parts on the ship have been luxuriously recast with the strongest shipbuilding metal "black titanium alloy", which is very hard.

The Iron Toad, which has been equipped with defensive armor, is now larger, exceeding the specifications of ordinary "Predator-class" ships, and is only slightly smaller than the "Sea King-class".

When it is in "whale form", it has smooth lines like water droplets. This structure is the most reasonable and hardest form of a ship that Colin and his teacher studied back then...wind resistance and water resistance are extremely small.

When in "toad form", the ship will turn into a mighty iron toad that is covered in heavy armor. The black titanium alloy armor provides 360° full-ship defense without blind spots.

The strength of ship armor is far enough, but the rune enchantment is far from enough.

In other words, the current "Golden Ghost" is hard enough (physical defense), but insufficiently buffered (magic resistance). It has a good shell, but it does not have corresponding good shock absorption.

After being hit by a shot, the ship may be fine, but the people on board may be in serious danger.

That's why Colin and the others desperately wanted top-notch runes to enchant this top-notch ship in the world.

At this time, Colin raised his mechanical right arm again, which was the alloy and "magic annihilation cannon" obtained by dismantling the "artificial man".

He said excitedly: "Captain, in fact, the problem of the range and rate of fire of the 'Magic Annihilation Cannon' currently developed by the World Headquarters is actually a flaw in the rune enchantment..."

Rupert Alloy is already the most suitable high-end metal for making mechanical skeletons, and the World Headquarters has used the best runes available, but it still has the fatal flaw of insufficient power, rate of fire, and range.

The materials are well matched, but the runes are shortcomings.

The biggest constraint on the development of magic artillery is actually the runes.

As long as you have more advanced runes, the power of the magic artillery can leap forward!

Advanced runes can allow the barrel to withstand several times or dozens of times of magical energy charging, and the burst of lethality will also increase exponentially.

Can you imagine the power of a small-caliber musket firing a large-caliber magic artillery shot?

The "Magic Annihilation Cannon" currently developed by the World Headquarters has a maximum range of only 500 meters and is only suitable for melee combat. But if he has stronger runes, Colin can create an annihilation cannon with a range of 5,000 meters or even further. !

...

Everyone has heard about the elves, and generally knows that if the "City in the Sky" is really the secret realm of the elves, then there may be a war going on there, and it will be very dangerous.

Anna on the side also saw Raymond's concerns and smiled in a relaxed tone: "Captain, exploring the unknown is the greatest pleasure of sailing adventure. If you can visit the legendary 'City in the Sky', I think it will definitely be The most vivid and wonderful experience in the logbook of our 'Ghost Pirates'..."

For navigators, the charm of exploring the unknown is far greater than theirs

As for danger? There is never a lack of danger in this sea, and there is no place where there is absolute safety. Storms, sea kings, sea monsters, humans...are all in danger.

Raymond had actually had the idea of ​​exploring it for a long time, and wanted to see the ancient civilization passed down from ancient times. Of course, he was more curious about the legendary elves with average appearance and extraordinary appearance (charisma value of 8 or above). It’s not true that there are beautiful women everywhere.

I finally came to this world and was so timid, how could I experience this?

Raymond saw everyone looking at him as the captain expectantly, then he smiled and asked: "What do you think? Do we want to go to the 'City in the Sky'?"

Colin: "Go!"

Nicole: "Go!"

Lulu: "Go!"

Fat Cat: "Go!"

Thor: "Go!"

Jiji: "Zhizhi..."

With unanimous approval, the "Ghost Pirates" officially set sail.

...

A few days later, the "Golden Ghost" sailed on the sea again.

There are sunken shipwrecks floating everywhere on the sea. Capone and Uli's battle to pursue the naval fleet continues, but the defeat is a foregone conclusion, and the World Headquarters is unable to recover.

On the deck, the fat cat sat on a pony and leaned against the fence to fish for sea kings. Sol and Gigi watched eagerly, waiting to help beat the fish. Whether they can eat fresh sea fish tonight depends on everyone. It depends on the effect of the pure wool secret bait on this pole...

Thor, the Titan prince who had returned to his ancestors with "golden blood", had high hopes from his tribe, but he did not stay in Jaffatron as a prince. Instead, he fulfilled his promise and became a sailor of the "Ghost Regiment", following

Adventure at sea...

While Raymond was practicing with Anna, he was also basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze on the deck.
To be continued...
