Players' NPC boss

Blaze pushed open the door of the wooden house where Lancelot knelt. The room was very clean and had traces of life. There was a cloud of mist floating in it, like a human soul that was dissipating.

Lancelot says it is Galahad.

He didn't know how Lancelot recognized it, perhaps it was his father's intuition.

Legend has it that of the three knights who searched for the Holy Grail, only two returned alive, and the remaining one, the only knight who held up the water of life, sacrificed himself and turned into a stone statue, allowing himself to serve as the Holy Grail to contain the water of life.

But judging from Lancelot's reaction, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Just look at the fairies in the lake. They became attached to the water of life just by touching it, let alone facing the golden apple forest directly.

The truth is simple. Galahad felt so happy here that he felt painful to leave. Finally, his body and soul were separated by the power of the water of life. His body turned into the Holy Grail, and his soul remained here forever.

"He stayed here forever and didn't want to leave." Lancelot knelt on the ground in extreme decadence. She used to be somewhat relieved that Galahad turned into a stone statue.

That is, Galahad's purity is recognized, but reality is so real that there is no room for imagination.

Blaze patted Lancelot's shoulder, but his mind was on the mist in front of him.

Why is it water mist?

Did the Water of Life fail to give Galahad a body again? Or did it do so, and then it disappeared again?

…

Typhon followed Captain Babo all the way and did not stop him from running.

The seventy-year-old man was in good physical condition. He ran all the way from the Golden Apple Grove to the location of the Dead Bear and then held on to the hull of the Dead Bear, breathing heavily.

It's just that his mental state seems to be in some abnormal state.

"It's not this, it can't be this..."

"Are you crazy?" Typhon asked.

"Crazy, of course I'm crazy!" Captain Babo turned around, his eyes full of bloodshot, "I actually thought that this is the end of me and my ship!"

"Look at them. Those legendary pirates are just lying on their chairs like old men with no regrets. They look more like potatoes than human beings!"

"Isn't this good?" Typhon said softly, "I can feel that they were extremely dirty in the past, stained with countless blood and sins, but now they are only happy and peaceful. They will no longer harm anyone, and are even willing to share this happiness."

“You should also be able to feel the happiness in it.”

"Of course it's not good, this means that here..." Captain Babo looked at his hands and clenched his fists to stop the trembling in them, but his voice was still choked.

Captain Barb looked to the side and saw the sailors from the [Hermes's Brigade Hat] and the Giant Kingdom Alliance staying where they were as they were told, and the sailors did so.

But it was not because the sailors could resist the temptation of the golden apple forest, but because they felt comfort and tranquility just by looking at the golden apple forest.

He stopped just to look at it, staring at it infatuatedly.

"hateful!"

"What are you doing?" Typhon tilted his head. The old man in his seventies was pulling the sail on the Dead Bear with his rough hands.

Although the Dead Bear was not as big as the ships built by the foreigners, it was still a big ship, and Captain Barber was like a little man trying to lift the giant's shroud.

"I have to get out of here."

"Why?"

“Pirates are always greedy and annoying pests, but they are always sailing on the vast ocean. As long as pirates are still sailing, it means that there are still valuable and unknown treasures waiting to be found in this world.”

“There is always treasure in the words of a pirate, and the next destination in the arms of a pirate.”

"But this place is so beautiful and perfect that there won't be any treasures better than this, which means that other places are meaningless. Everyone just needs to find this place. This is the destination for everyone."

"This is the end! No matter how greedy a person is, a pure and innocent person will stop here! Immerse yourself in the happiness!"

"This is the end of humanity. All voyages, all adventures, all dreams will never go beyond this!"

"No more future!"

Captain Barber grabbed the rope tiredly, his palms were rubbed bloody and he only managed to move the sail a little, but he still didn't let go.

"So I'm getting out of here."

"As long as someone leaves here, they will know that there are more fascinating treasures in this world! This bottle of life is nothing more than a place where humans have walked!"

Typhon looked at the golden apple forest in the distance and exhaled. He remembered what Blaze had said to him with great enthusiasm. The Fountain of Youth was what all adventurers and pirates were looking for. It was a treasure among treasures, and it could be ranked in the top three.

In addition, there is the power to control the world and so on.

But the first one is always the next treasure. The next one may not be better, but the next treasure is always so desirable.

"Is this the mead that only the gods can taste? Just by looking at it, humans will stop happily forever. This is the fountain of youth that can make people rejuvenate."

Typhon lowered his head and looked at the stream at his feet. The water in it was the water of life, the nectar left from the golden apple.

He heard that any mortal who touched the water of the Fountain of Youth would be cursed, because it was the wine cup of the gods, and any mortal who drank the wine from it would certainly be punished.

The wine glass was placed there, perhaps with some malicious intent, intentionally to allow mortals to steal it.

But what about the water of life that was used to create all living things? Even the gods would generously pour a glass for the mortals who come here.

This was goodwill, so even though Captain Babo stepped into the current, he was not affected at all.

But the goodwill of the gods never brings a good ending.

"Why did you take part in this dangerous adventure?"

"I also want to leave treasures in this world, and then let many people walk the path that only I have walked and see the scenery that only I have seen for these treasures." Captain Babo gritted his teeth and pulled the rope hard.

"But I don't want to be the end, but the failed adventurer in a story, so that treasure hunters, explorers, and pirates will not stop at my grave, but will continue to set off happily."

"My ship will sink in the sea, and will never return to ordinary and comfortable life here!"

"I see."

Typhon took the rope from Captain Babo's hand, and he just lifted it lightly, and the huge sail was raised.

The soul of a pirate belongs to the ever-stormy sea; calm waters mean death to a ship.

"Captain, let's fix it and get out of here."
