Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Ocean Treasure “Mist Silver Lamp

“Ugh!”

Milan covered his buzzing head and took a few steps back, feeling warm blood trickling from his nose.

At the same time, it felt as if something had entered his head. Milan instinctively raised his gun again: “Careless! This old fellow is actually a wizard!?”

Activated spiritual power isn’t something an ordinary person can resist, but as he locked eyes with the old man, Milan unexpectedly sensed resistance in the other’s mind. Just before he could withdraw, two surges of spiritual power had already collided forcefully.

A “Boom!” was heard.

It felt as if a giant hammer had struck his brain, buzzing incessantly.

After embarking on the wizard’s path, this was the first time he directly applied his spiritual power and took a small hit. Panting for a while to recover, he promptly checked his status through “Data Visualization.” Apart from a slight nosebleed, there wasn’t much to worry about.

Looking up at the guy who was clearly a wizard yet had been disguising himself as an ordinary old man on his last legs, but who was now bleeding from all seven orifices, staring wide-eyed without a sound.

“Damn, that was close!” Seeing the old man’s condition, Milan was filled with a lingering fear. The outcome of a direct clash of spiritual power was truly catastrophic.

Fortunately, his spiritual power was evidently much higher. After activating spiritual power through Leon’s Meditation Method and undergoing an extraordinary transformation along the Knight Path and long-term training, it had reached 0.39, securely within the middle-tier apprentice range.

The spiritual power that Tru had just unleashed was only 0.15, barely an initial apprentice. If not for such a huge gap, who knows who might be on the ground now!

The abilities of the extraordinary are bizarre, often indistinguishable from ordinary people at a glance. This perilous method of probing through spiritual power can easily end in mutual destruction if slightly careless, which was one of the reasons Milan tried probing Milan through words at the time.

Milan still had the chance to feel post-survival fear, while Tru really died with his eyes wide open.

Who would have thought an Official Knight Tier Navy Captain was also a hidden wizard? Damn! More insidious than pirates!

In launching this desperate move, Tru’s spiritual power automatically resisted; yet due to the large gap in spiritual power, not only did he fail to resist, but it cost him his life.

One moment harboring dreams of escaping a dire situation with Milan, the next losing his life because of him. Destiny is mysterious, beyond words, but at this moment, it was extremely harsh to Tru, downright unfair.

Walking over to nudge the old man’s corpse, ensuring he was indeed breathless. Milan then tapped his own head, still feeling a faint needle-like pain that made him quite uncomfortable.

“Ugh… Could something be wrong?”

Thankfully, the concern didn’t last long.

The stinging sensation soon dissipated. Milan shook his head, only to be astonished to discover some fragmented memories had appeared in his mind.

There were witchcraft knowledge, adventure experiences, nautical charts, locations of various Crow Markets, and even the secret behind the dense fog before the pirate attack.

None of it contained any emotional awareness or power, but were Tru’s deepest engravings of knowledge in his consciousness.

As he carefully browsed the knowledge appearing in his mind, the lingering fear on Milan’s face slowly turned into joy as he muttered to himself, “Did I benefit from this calamity?”

In fact, although Tru’s aptitude was poor, becoming a wizard apprentice for many years without progressing further, the basic witchcraft knowledge he’d collected over the years with White Shark was an enormous wealth, precisely what a hothead like Milan needed, willing to clash spiritual power with people!

Moreover, this guy’s true identity was the Chief Navigator of the “Shark Tooth,” also the major steward and strategist of the “Shark Tooth Pirate Gang,” knowing many secrets of the Shark Tooth Pirates.

Having obtained part of Tru’s memories, Milan already knew the intelligence he purposely concealed. He swiftly took two steps forward and opened the wardrobe’s wooden door, rummaging a bit, and retrieved a meticulously crafted animal skin pouch from a hidden compartment at the bottom of the cabinet.

Opening the pouch, although it only contained a few items, these were Tru’s most precious treasures he secretly stashed away when the situation turned grim.

But now they’re all named Galliot.

The first item was a hardcover book with a red cover, corners wrapped in copper, its name “Secret Book” written in the center of the cover. Without opening it, Milan knew it was a book introducing secrets of the continental extraordinary world, including common extraordinary paths, demonized creatures, open secret realms, and even hidden knowledge related to True Gods.

After acquiring Tru’s memories, this book’s usefulness for Milan was not significant anymore.

The second item was a copper key, something White Shark Sku had entrusted Tru to keep, supposedly able to unlock the treasure accumulated by the Shark Tooth Pirate Gang over the years. Alas, not even Tru, who was close to becoming the deputy head, knew the true location of the treasure.

“A mirage in the water, maybe I can ask Milan to use divination to locate it in the future.”

The third item was a plain bright silver oil lamp.

With just a glance, Milan was firmly attracted. The simple, unadorned appearance had no exquisite decorations, but Milan knew it was a genuine ocean treasure–the “Mist Silver Lamp”!

This was also the second ocean treasure Milan was fortunate enough to see, besides the “Shipwreck Elegy” with its extremely harsh usage conditions.

Through Tru’s memory, it was understood that the “Mist Silver Lamp” wasn’t as overwhelmingly powerful as the “Shipwreck Elegy.”

Its ability is to disregard the original weather pattern and create a dense fog within one minute that only the lamp holder and up to three designated companions can see through. Moreover, the fog can disrupt the enemy’s sense of direction, rendering even the use of compasses or directional witchcraft useless.

The basic range is three kilometers, with an upper limit determined by the holder’s spiritual power. This means that this ocean treasure also has a limitation: it can only be held by a wizard or someone in the magic system with activated spiritual power, completely irrelevant to brute knights.

However, this small drawback is insignificant compared to its usefulness. Although it lacks any offensive capabilities, this small-scale weather alteration method is a divine skill for ships and even fleets at sea.

With suitable tactics, whether attacking, guerrilla warfare, or evading, it serves as a trump card-level tool. It’s no wonder the Shark Tooth Pirate Gang, owning two ocean treasures, has this relatively inconspicuous “Mist Silver Lamp” wielded by the captain White Shark Sku.

Milan silently gave the Shark Tooth Pirate Gang a thumbs up in his heart! Continually acting as treasure dispatchers, One-Eyed Becky delivered the “Shipwreck Elegy,” and White Shark Sku personally handed over the “Mist Silver Lamp”….. Truly generous people!

Wait, is the possession rate of ocean treasures really this high?

Milan suddenly realized a problem.

Although the Shark Tooth Pirate Gang is notoriously infamous, it isn’t an invincible force of the seas. Yet such a pirate gang could own two ocean treasures, since when did these treasures become as common as cabbages?
