Chapter 282: The Ship of Theseus
The elders of the pure Mao clan have to clear the pirates in the territorial waters, and they also have to guard against the attack of the [Elephant Emperor], so they can only draw a few elders to rescue the clansmen.
Helen used to be the "King of the Seven Martial Seas", walking overseas all the year round, familiar with the world pattern, no matter the strength and reputation can suppress those little pirates, so she went to sea with the ship.
The original plan was that Helen planned to disembark at Agarman Lingde and sweep all the way through the major slave markets to rescue her people.
The efforts of the pure Mao people are very popular in the outer sea market and are very valuable. Not to mention whether you can buy it or not, if you really have to spend money to buy back those hundreds of thousands of slaves, it is estimated that it will not be possible to drain the wealth of the entire pure Mao clan.
Therefore, the rescue that the pure Mao clan said is not to spend money to buy, but to rob by force!
Now that Helen has refined the [Winter Locking Divine Chain of Kaone], her strength is much stronger than at the beginning, and she does have this strength to grab it. At least these so-called sea thieves in the Grull Sea, she doesn't have to pay attention to them.
But Raymond knew that there were more than a dozen large slave markets in the entire Grull Sea alone, and not to mention the inefficiency of making trouble everywhere like this, it would also arouse the vigilance of slave traders. The bigger the commotion in the back, the more difficult it will be to rescue, and you may be ambushed by sea pirates.
So
Eventually, Helen followed Raymond's offer and went to Eleudnes together.
The "City of Eternal Night" Eleudnes is the largest "neutral place" in the western seas of the entire Endless Sea.
It is the junction of the three major seas of the Gruhr Sea, the Basan Sea, and the Bomandi Sea, and it is also the favorite gathering place of pirates in several nearby seas, and the city has the most lively underground black market, the most prosperous sound and color gold cave, and the largest slave market.
There are countless precious thieves that can be bought at a lower price... This is also the biggest reason why the "Great Voyage" game attracted countless players to join the pirate camp in the first place - the price is much lower than the market!
Because of its special location, that city is also one of the few ways to "smuggle" into the middle of the Endless Sea, in addition to the "safe shipping route" controlled by the World Navy.
Therefore, if the pure Mao captured by the pirates from the Grull Sea want to transport the central part of the Endless Sea, almost all of them will gather in the "City of Eternal Night", and then be transported out by the major slave trading houses...
Of course, the most important reason why this city is famous for the Endless Sea is that it was once the starting point of "One Piece" Delos! In the past two years, because of the spread of "One Piece Treasure", countless foreign treasure hunters have poured in, and the city has become lively again!
Raymond was familiar with it.
If they hadn't gotten lost in the Chaos Wind Belt, it would have been their first major stop from the Black Sea.
......
On this day, the sun was shining, and the sea breeze was blowing warmly on the face, gentle like a girl's delicate hand.
The "Golden Ghost" sails on the boundless sea, like a half-diving giant whale, leisurely.
On the deck, a fat panda with a big hat on top of it, fishing in the sea next to the fence, with only a few small small fish in the bucket beside him... A white-haired monkey watching the excitement was squatting on his shoulder, watching with relish.
After fishing for most of the day, the panda pursed his mouth, turned his head and muttered to someone: "There are no big fish... Captain, it is estimated that there are large sea kings under the seabed, so he eats almost all the big fish. Why don't we catch a sea king to eat today? ”
At the moment, Raymond was diligently serving tea and water to a second-generation blood clan adult who was lying on a beach chair and basking in the sun, and he didn't have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter as fishing, so he said casually: "Sea kings can also fish?" Then you can fish..."
"Good! Then I'll change the bait..."
The fat cat looked excited, stared at the deep sea, smacked his lips like a greedy mouth, and said excitedly: "Ah... I can finally try that secret bait recipe. I'm really going to catch a big guy in a while, and Enzo-sama should be able to handle it..."
......
On the other hand, in the laboratory in the cabin, Lulu is very busy.
Since he got the "mysterious tentacles" brought out by the third uncle from the abyss, he plunged into the laboratory and never came out again.
That tentacle is really weird, even if it has been half a month since the main body was cut off, it is still alive and kicking, and there is no sign of "death".
The vitality of the cells extracted from the tentacles is so strong that it is far beyond the scope of normal organisms. Coupled with the golden blood coming out of the broken tentacles, the eldest son speculated that this tentacle might be a real "god-level biological cell".
The bottom of the abyssal crypt on the Earth Demon Island has now been confirmed to be a sealed true god head, which means that this tentacle monster may be a demonic creature directly bred from the god's head... That's why it directly has the super active cells of the gods!
This is a living god-level cell that has never been discovered even by the World Premier's Research Institute!
Raymond's father, Captain Tsuna, still cares that this big-headed son has studied and is enchanted, and he doesn't know how to "drink nutrient solution" on time, and he goes to the laboratory to see him several times a day.
The eldest son said that this "super cell" gave him a springing inspiration, allowing him to find the possibility of improving the disadvantages of the high probability of sudden death of the "No. 7 drug", and even faintly had the research direction of the "No. 8 drug". If it can be studied thoroughly, it may even directly make humans like that tentacle monster, with a god-level super body!
......
Bang, bang, knock, knock...
The sound of metal pounding and cutting in the cabin was incessant.
This is another "Gold Eater" at work of the Ghost Regiment.
Since the last time he got a batch of high-level magic crystals, Colin hasn't been idle, he's been busy in the belly of the Iron Toad, knocking and knocking... Build magical hybrid boilers, coated defenses for ships, and magical cannons... These all take a lot of time and effort. Thanks to Colin's efforts, the prototype of a super battleship with both offense and defense and special ability to run is slowly taking shape, like a poisonous snake, and finally grows its deadly fangs...
However, as soon as the two big money spenders on the ship put into work, Raymond felt a terrible pain in his head. These two gold-swallowing beasts, no matter how much money they smashed, they couldn't make a big bubble.
Whether it's the biological science research that underpins Lulu or Colin's high-tech armor modification... It takes a lot of money to pile up!
Obviously, the fixed assets of the "Ghost Group" are super valuable, just selling those high-level crystal nuclei can be exchanged for wealth that ordinary people can squander in their lifetime.
But it can't be sold, and you will have to buy it in large quantities in the future to pile up super artillery systems... Again, there is a massive funding gap.
The financial situation of the regiment is incredible.
Even... Raymond himself wants to obtain potential points through krypton, but he can only use the mouths of these two "gold-swallowing beasts" to get a little "little krypton pleasure".
Raymond this thinks Captain... The more you become, the poorer you get!
One Piece?
Ahh
This is a road of no return for the richest man in the world to become a poor egg...
......
Before Raymond killed the "Evil Eye Emperor" and sealed the existence of the highest rank of this evil eye, he was also surprised to find that he could actually peel off a complete spiritual power matrix in the soul of this monster!
Now the spiritual power visualization map he meditates on is still the "Abyss Evil Eye Meditation Map" that he got at Philip Lingyin Moon Castle, a total of 9,999 complete spiritual power matrices for ordinary evil eyes.
But now... However, he found that the spiritual power matrix of the "Evil Eye Emperor" was even more complicated, and the number alone was ten times that of ordinary evil eyes...
Because Hayns' notes seal the complete soul of the Evil Eye Emperor, it will probably be the only complete [Evil Eye Emperor Meditation Map] in the world when Raymond copies all those matrices!
This is more than 100,000 spiritual power matrix, pay attention to the growth of people's spiritual power to a terrifying level. So much so that it is similar to the "Demon Ape Qigong" taught by the third uncle, which may be the secret method of S+'s spiritual power meditation.
The ideal is very backbone, at least the road is still far away. Even if Raymond is now very perceptive, it will take years for him to fully comprehend and copy all the complex spiritual power matrices...
So, Raymond is really busy.
In addition to the fact that it takes a lot of time to draw a new mental power meditation map, the two S-level skills he learned, "Demon Ape Qigong" and "Six-armed Enma Mystery Solution", also require a lot of time to understand, not to mention that there is also a "Potions General Secret Dictionary" to study in his lifetime...
Lack of money, lack of time... Very scarce!
But Raymond hasn't been busy for a while.
Because... Enzo disembarked as soon as the ship arrived at Eleudnes, the "City of Eternal Night".
Raymond had to cherish every day on the ship, ask the big guy some blood secrets, and of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to see if he had a chance to get the bloodline of the three generations of ancestors. If possible, he would be more curious about where Enzo's second-generation bloodline came from...
And, of course, "sword intent"!
Fortunately, Enzo, a talkative boss, has a very easy personality to get along with, and Raymond has been courteous these days, and the effect is also very significant.
No, the big guy turned on the demon state to bask in the sun on the deck again, and endured the pain of the sun's burning... In the words of the big guy, it is to enhance the light resistance and make up for the shortcomings of the blood clan being restrained by light spells.
(Note: The stronger the vampire's bloodline, the stronger the demonic form's ability, and the higher the multiplier base for absorbing light spell damage; )
No, the daily chat fart has started again.
Raymond: "Senior, who is the best between you and the third uncle." ”
Enzo: "In terms of cultivation alone, there is probably no one stronger than him in the realm of senior brother. ”
Raymond: "Senior, what should I do now if I want to raise my bloodline level?" ”
Enzo: "Sucking blood, pushing boundaries." Of course, it's a very long process, maybe decades, centuries. ”
Raymond gradually led the topic and asked, "That... Is there a faster shortcut? ”
Enzo smiled, obviously understanding what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd, "You kid don't want to ask if you can help you convert into a third-generation bloodline like Capone?" ”
"Hey, hey... If possible, so much the better. ”
Raymond touched the back of his head, and he didn't hide his purpose, and smiled.
"I'm going to disappoint you."
Enzo shook his head: "The cost of the ancestor-level bloodline conversion is very large! When I converted the bloodline for Capone, it took half of the Origin Blood, and I was lucky to succeed. Therefore, I can't convert another three generations of ancestors. So... You understand? ”
"Oh."
After hearing this, Raymond had a look of obvious disappointment on his face.
But this is also expected. If the ancestral bloodlines are as easy to transform as ordinary vampires, then this big guy doesn't use other means at all to directly convert countless three generations of ancestral bloodlines, wouldn't it be an endless sea walking sideways?
Looking at Raymond's disappointed expression, the corners of Enzo's mouth lifted slightly.
He changed his words and smiled mysteriously: "Of course, it is not completely without shortcuts. ”
He had already heard from the third uncle that his ability to see the light of day from the crypt was directly related to the guy in front of him. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that Raymond is his savior.
Otherwise, even if he possessed the Bloodline's "Rigid Dormancy" skill, he would probably lie dormant in that abyssal crypt forever.
Raymond listened, his eyes flashed, and hope was rekindled, "Really? ”
"Hmm."
Enzo nodded, but the smile on the corner of his mouth made people see a hint of banter, "You kid can't be curious about where my bloodline came from, right?" ”
You don't have to beat around the bush when you're chatting with smart people, and Raymond thinks that's a good feeling. He asked, "Lord Enzo, where did your bloodline come from?" Is there really a first-generation bloodline in this world? ”
Enzo shook his head, "No. As far as I know, there doesn't seem to be a second vampire second generation ancestor in this world other than me. ”
Raymond was puzzled: "What about your blood...?" ”
Enzo continued, "If you can find the source of the bloodline's inheritance, the ship of Theseus, you will be able to obtain at least the same second-generation bloodline as me. ”
"The ship of Theseus?"
A very unfamiliar term.
Raymond's brow furrowed as he listened, racking his brains and not thinking of where he had heard this term.
"When I was in the Black Sea, I was an ordinary little nobleman, and during a long voyage, I encountered a shipwreck storm..."
At this time, Enzo didn't hide it, and talked about the story of his transformation into a blood clan with great interest.
"That shipwreck sent our ship to a strange place, like hell, like a netherworld... The ocean there is a scarlet color like blood... And on the surface of the sea, there is a huge broken sailboat..."
"That's by far the biggest sailboat I've ever seen... I was left with no ammunition and food, and I was the only one left alive on the ship... I chose to climb aboard that sailboat to find out... It was an ancient ship full of mysteries, as if it came from an ancient mythological period, and people felt the huge pressure from the gods..."
"The ship was so foggy that I didn't see any living people, and then I fumbled my way into a room... Suddenly! ”
"Suddenly what?"
Obviously, the key plot of the story is about to happen...
Raymond, the only listener, immediately tensed up, could it be that he was going to encounter some monster?
But Enzo said this, like those dog broken chapter authors, suddenly the story is broken!
He turned his face and frowned anyway, and said, "Then, guess what I saw?" ”
