I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 717 Touches the Heart Again!

"In that case, it seems that I can return this ring to the teacher after this trip is over."

Chu Yang couldn't help but smile broadly.

Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door. I looked towards the door and saw Miss Hugh through it.

Chu Yang hurriedly got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Miss Xiu noticed that Chu Yang seemed to be in a bad state, his body was swaying slightly.

Have you moved on to the next sequence?

Miss Hugh's eyes widened immediately.

As far as she knew, Chu Yang had only been in Sequence Eight for less than a month.

But now it has entered Sequence Seven again, which is nothing short of a miracle.

"By sheer coincidence, the potion was digested once again."

Chu Yang smiled and changed the subject, "You just visited the captain of the Going Merry, didn't you? Did you find anything interesting?"

Although Miss Xiu did not reveal her intentions during this period, Chu Yang guessed it immediately.

After all, the noblewoman Caroline in the story was the captain of the Going Merry, so it was quite normal for Miss Hugh to visit her.

"Miss Caroline is not a captain yet, or rather, it's uncertain whether she will become the captain of the Going Merry in the future."

"The captain of this ship is now named Ilanda."

"He said he had some unused materials and that he had organized a small gathering of extraordinary people."

"At the party, he released all those materials."

"I used the extraordinary materials we had previously acquired to exchange for the items needed to advance to the next stage."

A smile appeared on Miss Hugh's face.

What he gave up was the extraordinary quality extracted from the dead sailor he had recently obtained.

And this was the very thing they had obtained from Miss Heloise's dead companion deep within that cave.

"It seems that Captain Alanda is very satisfied with the characteristics of the sailors."

"He must be eager to train more sailors."

Chu Yang couldn't help but laugh.

It is precisely because of this that the extraordinary characteristics of this sequence wine were used to successfully exchange for the main ingredient needed for sequence eight.

Or perhaps this was just Miss Hugh's luck.

It could even be said to be the guidance of fate.

"It won't be long before you can become a sheriff, just like you've always dreamed of, right?"

"It seems our team's combat strength can be further enhanced."

Chu Yang also smiled very happily.

Miss Hugh has always been the team's mainstay.

So, while their own combat capabilities have improved, it wouldn't be good for the team if Miss Hugh stood still.

Fortunately, things have taken a new turn for the better.

Miss Hugh's promotion is just around the corner.

Not long after, Chu Yang woke up again.

With the help of the dry food in the room, he quickly returned to his place after taking care of his bodily needs.

Earlier, he had already received hints about how to design a prayer while in the maze.

However, because my strength was too low at the time, I was unable to set up a qualified prayer. Now I finally have the opportunity and qualification to start it.

"This prayer must be set to point directly at my pure white eyes."

"But this direction can't be too obvious; it needs to be profound and sophisticated."

As Chu Yang pondered, he continuously wrote down some prayers described in the language of the previous world on the draft paper.

It took him more than half an hour to roughly set up the corresponding prayer.

He did not recite it aloud easily, but instead copied it down in Fergus's secret language.

Furthermore, he didn't dare add any titles like "ruler" or "king" when he designed it.

After all, such prayers and hatred might attract the attention of those in higher positions.

He's not Klein; by then, he probably won't even know how he died.

After writing down the prayer that had been deciphered by Fergus's secret language, he began to analyze it using his Pure White Eyes.

"This thing hasn't taken effect yet; it can probably only decipher a tiny, weak connection between me and the Pure White Eye."

However, after Chu Yang restarted the transmission, he found that there was no connection between the two.

"It seems that this kind of prayer is not working."

"Let's start by changing the first sentence. It seems like this is a huge undertaking."

So he burned all the prayers on his right side, and then wrote them down again using a mixture of more obscure words in different languages.

He even tried various prayers directed at different sequences of the Supreme God.

Even so, it still did not receive the recognition of the Pure White Eyes and did not generate any fluctuations.

"So, the rank of my Pure White Eyes is actually higher than I thought."

"In the original story, Mr. Klein's prayer was directed toward that supreme land of gray fog."

"It seems my pure white eyes are also pointing to an unknown place, but I just don't know where it is."

As Chu Yang was lost in thought and burned all the discarded prayers, it was already the morning of the next day.

His stomach growled again in dissatisfaction, so he had no choice but to go out to prepare for his meal.

After inviting Miss Hugh along, they soon encountered Miss Triss and her employers.

Seeing Miss Triss working with great enthusiasm, Chu Yang had no intention of disturbing her. However, her two employers noticed Chu Yang and his companion.

"Miss Triss, I remember those two are your friends, aren't they?"

"These two seem to be very outstanding young people. Could we invite them over for a pleasant breakfast?"

When Mr. Durant, who was in charge, was very polite.

"Of course, no problem, but I need to ask them what they think first."

Miss Triss didn't think it was a big deal and agreed without hesitation, then walked towards Chu Yang and his companion.

"Is he going to treat us to dinner? But isn't your breakfast free?"

Chu Yang was completely baffled, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

So Chu Yang took Miss Xiu with him.

After they had just sat down, Chu Yang very politely introduced the two of them.

"Hello, I'm Chu Yang, and my main job is detective. This is my partner, Miss Xiu."

Both of their names were very ordinary, with no particularly prestigious surnames, so they weren't afraid to tell others.

"Hello sir, my name is Durant, and I am a moderately accomplished archaeologist."

"This is my wife, Catherine, and the rest are my son and two daughters."

Durant also very politely introduced his family's identities.

Of course, his entourage was not described in much detail.

Chu Yang could tell that this guy cared a lot about his three children; his eyes unconsciously curved as he spoke.

"So you're an archaeologist? You must be a very wise gentleman."

When Chu Yang heard the word "archaeology," he immediately became very interested and even began to actively learn about some ancient sites that the other party had excavated or come into contact with.

He follows the path of a reader, so he usually comes into contact with many ancient things buried beneath the truth of history.

Even his teacher, Mr. Manhattan, needed to consult ancient texts to slowly improve his abilities.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for extraordinary individuals in the Reader Sequence to become friends with archaeologists.

Fortunately, Mr. Durant didn't like to show off, and the conversation between the two was very natural.

To Mr. Durant’s great surprise, he never expected that a stranger would have such a brilliant and solid foundation of knowledge.

Overjoyed, he also felt he had met a kindred spirit and unknowingly revealed more secrets.

He even once said that the reason they were crossing the sea was because one of his colleagues had discovered an ancient site in a remote mountain range.

These relics can even be traced back to a previous era.

Therefore, as an archaeologist, he had to go there as soon as possible to satisfy his curiosity and even uncover historical mysteries.

"Are you referring to the Pais Mountains?"

Chu Yang could even speak out subconsciously.

"You know about that place too? That's understandable, though, since it's been mentioned in many ancient books. But this is the first time we've discovered traces of ancient ruins there."

Mr. Durant, with his flexible and generous manner, continued to chatter on and on with Chu Yang.

"According to many ancient books, many survivors and ancestors migrated to that area due to war and natural disasters."

"So I think the relics that my colleague discovered this time are very likely real, and we should be able to uncover a huge secret."

Durant became more and more excited as he spoke.

However, this guy had no idea that Chu Yang was already silently praying for him, hoping that he could return safely.

They even hoped he wouldn't find anything of value in the ruins.

Otherwise, what awaits him is an extremely tragic reality.

Nowadays, even the gods are secretly walking on the earth, and it is no longer reasonable to explain why ordinary people, who seem to be powerless, are forced to live deep in the mountains.

However, Chu Yang did not point it out openly, after all, for many archaeologists, living on the edge of life and death was something they were already used to.

After a pleasant breakfast, as they were about to part ways, Chu Yang silently stopped Miss Triss and earnestly advised her:

"Once you've escorted your employer and their family to the port, end this employment as soon as possible."

"The place they're going to is very dangerous. If possible, please try to persuade them to leave."

Hearing this, Miss Triss frowned slightly and said, "You haven't even been there, yet you know it's really dangerous?"

"Just listen to me. If they don't find anything, that's fine, but if they do find something, none of them will survive."

Chu Yang's expression turned serious.

He was afraid that Miss Triss wouldn't listen to his advice.

After all, this woman was one of the few friends he had made in this world.

It's already fate that we met in this vast overseas world, so I'll try my best to help him.

"I understand, I will try to persuade him."

"By the way, is that Lecent you met before reliable or not?"

After a slight hesitation, Miss Triss asked again.

"That guy's character is alright, and his skills are decent too."

Chu Yang quickly gave an affirmative answer.

In the original storyline, this guy never betrayed any of his companions.

However, his reputation wasn't very good, mainly because that guy had a sharp tongue and often liked to stir up trouble.

However, if he truly cares about his friends, he's the kind of guy who would go to great lengths for them.

Upon hearing this, Miss Triss sighed softly once again.

Chu Yang's words did not make her decide to make complete contact with Lecent.

Even though that guy had already contacted her beforehand, she still needed to think it over.

What he wanted more now was how to persuade his kind employers not to go into that mountain range.

To be fair, her employers treated her very well throughout the journey, covering all her expenses and giving her a large sum of money.

She had originally planned to wait at the destination port for a while longer to see if she could escort the employer's family back to their original boarding point.

However, it seems that it is already very difficult for the employer's family to survive.

After the meal, Miss Hugh went to exchange some information with the captain of the Merry.

After all, the captain must be the most well-informed person on the ship.

There were quite a few people like Miss Hugh who were forced to reveal some information when they asked the captain for details.

Chu Yang returned to his cabin, rebuilt the spiritual wall, and began experimenting with his plan for prayer.

Everything went very smoothly this time. The prayer was basically successful, and the Pure White Eyes recognized it.

The remaining task is to find a suitable item that connects the Unknown Lands and the Pure White Eye.

In this way, this item can be used for a wide variety of things.

Chu Yang silently recited the prayer in his hand using Fergus's secret language.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Klein was discussing the detective case with a friend.

Suddenly he felt his own spirituality being touched.

"Does that Miss Justice have some information she needs to consult again?"

So Klein quickly found an excuse to go to the restroom inside the building.

This is the place he knows best, and the place where he can most easily unleash his spirituality.

Arriving at the familiar place, Klein followed the steps counterclockwise for four steps, and with the help of the prayer, he quickly arrived at the Gray Mist Land.

He looked at the seats in front of him and saw that they belonged to Miss Justice and the Hanged Man, but no one was in Mr.'s seat.

"If no one prayed, why was I awakened? And what touched my spirit?"

Klein was completely baffled. He looked around but found nothing unusual, so he had no choice but to leave again. (End of Chapter)
