Chapter 568 Partnership (2)
In the Yedriya Sea, on a huge pirate ship about two hundred meters long.
A tall man about three meters tall, wearing a silver-white crown, was gazing into the distance with a grim expression.
Suddenly a strong wind blew up on the sea, and a middle-aged man in a black clergy robe fell from the hurricane and landed on the deck of the Poseidon.
If Zhou Ning was present, he would definitely recognize this man's identity. He was the Cardinal of the Church of Poseidon, the demigod Ronald Craigie stationed in the Mottley Islands.
No one could have imagined that the Church of Poseidon, which was supposed to be the enemy on the surface, was actually related to the leader of the Northern Pirates.
"Good evening, Mr. Valentine." Craigie saluted the tall man.
Valentine turned his gaze towards the other person and said expressionlessly:
"You're later than the agreed time. Tell me, why did you suddenly ask me to come over?"
"It's a very urgent matter that concerns a complete godhead." Ronald said in a deep voice.
"What's the matter?" Valentine turned his gaze to Ronald and asked.
"It's related to the rebels and the deities behind them. About a month ago, the rebels, along with a group of pirates, summoned the moon wolf Silas to attack Telderon Island. Afterwards, a strong divine reaction occurred on Hood Island," Ronald said in a low voice. "Also, we discovered something interesting."
Ronald raised his hand and conjured up scenes in the air. They were the pirates who had been captured and brainwashed before. They confessed some of the things they knew, especially why the werewolf genie and General Thunder wanted to explore the ruins.
As he watched, Valentine's voice and expression grew solemn, and he spoke in a resonant voice, "This werewolf djinn sounds a bit like the former God of Wish-Granting, but it's said he also perished in the War of the Gods. This djinn is most likely a product of the gods' fall."
"It's recorded in the classics that these fallen gods, either by chance or through their own pre-planned backup plans, were able to break through their own limitations, becoming half god, half evil spirit. However, due to their status in life, they still possess many magical powers and are extremely terrifying."
"They can absorb the power of the divine nature, and then extract the resentment or soul power of living creatures to condense the divine nature again and transform into gods. It's very likely that this werewolf lamp spirit is coming for the ruins... By the way, what did Edin say?"
"Your Excellency, the God-Favoured One, has glimpsed the future of certain nodes. Most of the future is unclear, which means that this matter is not as simple as it seems. He wants you to act in the open, and we will cooperate in the dark to fight against all possible enemies together. All spoils will be divided equally afterward according to the old rules." Ronald glanced at him and said.
"Yes, but I want to keep the option." After hearing Ronald's explanation, Valentine responded calmly:
"Deal. Everything for Poseidon." Ronald said with his fist across his chest.
"Everything for Poseidon." Valentine was silent for a moment, then he also put his fist across his chest.
……
Around six o'clock in the evening, Zhou Ning returned home, ate something casually, and then lay comfortably on the sofa. He opened the task panel and chose to receive the reward.
Considering that the task he just completed was A-level, Zhou Ning was quite looking forward to it.
The panel then prompted:
[You have completed the first stage of the mission [Following the Trail]. You received a random reward x1]
[Randomly...]
[The reward you received this time is a general skill.]
"Oh?" This was the second time Zhou Ning had drawn this option. The first time, he'd learned a healing skill, but because the healing was so small, he'd never used it much. He'd actually gained a lot of experience by teaching it to other players. He wondered what it would be this time.
[Random... Random completed. Please select one of the following three skills.]
[Dangkong Qingying: When the enemy is in an abnormal state such as weakness/fear/aging/dizziness, you can perform a powerful spinning slash like a dance, causing high AoE physical damage to the enemy.]
[Rasengan: Consumes a large amount of energy/rage/magic/concentration and concentrates it in the hand, forming a palm-sized, attributeless energy ball that attacks the target, dealing extremely high damage.]
[Ghost Hand Grab and Throw: Pull the enemy at close range, grab it, and violently smash it to the ground, causing heavy damage of 175% of weapon damage.]
Seeing these three options, Zhou Ning couldn't help but be stunned. They were worthy of being the rewards for A-level tasks. Each one was well-known and very powerful.
The first skill is a noble and cool AOE. If I remember correctly, it should be Vergil's skill in Devil May Cry. And it fits his role very well at first glance. Idol-like! You may want to consider it.
Not to mention the second skill, which is the skill of the protagonist in Naruto, a single-target long-range output skill. It is simple, crude and powerful, and can also be considered.
The origin of the third skill is currently unknown, but this remote control ability is undoubtedly very eye-catching, and its popularity is comparable to the WiFi password at the train station. Unfortunately, if this skill is learned by players, it will undoubtedly give melee combatants an additional means of attacking ranged enemies.
But this wasn't something I should worry about. A mentor can only lead you in, but it's up to you to decide. A skilled player shouldn't be afraid of being targeted. Hadn't they always complained about the imbalance in the classes?
Zhou Ning made his choice, "Ghost Hand Shoot."
[You gain the universal skill [Ghost Hand Grab and Throw]!]
Zhou Ning opened his personal store and faction store, and put this skill directly on the shelves, pricing it at 255000 experience points and 15 Viktoria, which was a strategy of small profits but quick turnover.
After receiving the reward, Zhou Ning went to the bathroom and solved his personal problems in a very graceful manner. Suddenly, the doorbell rang outside, which scared him again.
After quickly solving his stomach problem, Zhou Ning opened the door with a serious expression. Sure enough, standing outside was Smith Hall, who was wearing a blue coat and had a 7:3 hairstyle!
"Come in." Zhou Ning invited him in, and before he could ask any questions, he said directly:
"I request a reward of 4 Vectars. All other conditions remain the same, but you must provide the ships and manpower to reach the Motley Islands. The specific process in the Motley Islands must be based on my opinions."
Even if the other party is the son of the plane, his identity as a super-class professional allows him to have no scruples and say whatever he wants.
"Money is not a problem." Smith Hall smiled and said in a deep voice, "But I disagree with the last point. I will only obey reasonable opinions."
Seeing Zhou Ning frowning slightly, Smith Hall hurriedly explained, "We have never worked together before and there is no basis for trust. Don't worry, under normal circumstances I would not object to your opinion."
Zhou Ning was silent for a few seconds, then nodded gently and said, "Okay, but I'll ask for a half deposit first. Besides that, I also need relevant information about the Motley Islands."
"There's no problem with that. I'll send someone to deliver the information tomorrow." Smith said with a relaxed smile.
He immediately took out a pen and documents from the briefcase he was carrying and began to draft the contract. During the process, he used some extraordinary ability, and a brilliant golden light kept shining between the paper and pen, as if it contained some mysterious rules.
About 5 minutes later, he breathed a sigh of relief and handed the written document to Zhou Ning.
Zhou Ning looked through it and found no problem. He picked up the pen and wrote down Wayne Stewell's name.
When he finished writing the last letter L, he felt a golden light entering his body, making him feel the heaviness of the contract from the bottom of his heart.
