Chapter 72: The Blue Gem

The blue sky was filled with white clouds, as soft as cotton candy. A few seabirds chirped a few times and glided past.

The deep blue sea is like a huge silk strip, constantly rolling and waves.

A steaming steel ship is sailing through the waves.

The salty sea breeze blew in and dried the sweat of the sailors on board, who were now pouring cinders into the steamers.

The boiling heat turned into steam, which provided a constant supply of power for this huge ship.

And behind the giant ship, three deep-sea sharks are closely followed. The shark only shows its sail-like fins, and it is fast, as if waiting for something.

A young man on the boat, dressed casually, with a delicate face but a special temperament, was lazily leaning on the guardrail of the boat, looking at the sharks.

"Mr. Seeger, that's three man-eating sharks. An old man with a pipe and a beard walked up. He wears a captain's hat and has a hideous scar on his face, and at first glance he looks like a man with a story.

"Why do these sharks follow us all the time. Sieg asked curiously.

"Huh. The captain took off his pipe, looked at the sharks and smiled, "They're waiting for us to feed them." ”

"Feeding?"

"Not bad. The old captain sighed, looked at the sharks, and said, "Since the discovery of the New World, the slave trade has flourished. For hundreds of years, countless chambers of commerce and companies have organized a large number of slave hunting teams to transport batches of xenomorph slaves from the New World back to the East Coast. ”

"In the process, because of the shortage of food on the ship, the environment deteriorated, which inevitably led to the death of a large number of slaves. In order to prevent the corpses from causing a plague, the slave traders on the ship would throw the corpses into the sea. And these passing man-eating sharks are just enough to have a full meal. ”

Over time, on some busy shipping lanes, these man-eating sharks got into the habit of following human vessels, expecting them to drop their carcasses for a feast. The captain said leisurely.

In just a few sentences, the bloodshed and cruelty of the slave trade for hundreds of years are vividly depicted.

Capital is like a beast with a sensitive nose, but whenever it smells the slightest smell of profit, it will rush there frantically, even if it tramples on all the morals and laws in the world.

"It's a pity they're going to be disappointed, we're not a slave catcher. Sieg grinned.

This is already the fifth day he has left the Kingdom of Blacksburg.

Not long ago, Sieg received a new order to travel to the New World to help the local governor deal with some occult matters.

Originally, Sieg was reluctant, after all, even Fanny's mentor Henry was a little afraid of some mysterious forces in the New World, but then Bass's words dispelled his doubts.

Henry's refusal to go to the New World was because the Council of Elders of Weldon had forced him to explore a certain catacomb, a large group of tombs in the depths of the New World, suspected to have been left behind by a civilization that had been extinct in the ancient times of the New World.

It was a strange and dangerous place, and many countries on the east coast had formed a joint expedition, and almost all of them were destroyed there, with heavy casualties. The few sorcerers who came back alive were either delirious or insane. What's even more terrifying is that these people who survived and came back seemed to have received some kind of curse, and in the next six months, their blood dried up and died.

It is rumored that even the second-level sorcerer Black Castle Guardian will not be able to lift the terrifying curse here.

The countries of the mainland are very taboo about those tomb groups and do not want to provoke them.

But Sigurt is different, he doesn't need to venture into the depths of the New World, he just needs to help the local governor solve some occult matters.

Coupled with the fact that Professor McLaren had been hinting at him to leave the royal capital, Seeger decisively chose to accept the task.

"Revolutionary Party, King's Power...... There may even be a madman from the blood worship school, and this king is in a state of affairs that is about to come. At this critical juncture, Sieg decisively chose to go to the New World, avoid the limelight, and escape from this vortex.

After all, between the revolutionary party and the royal power, a person of his level only has the life of being a pawn, and Sieg does not like to be a pawn.

Even if the king turns the world upside down, it is none of his business.

And it is said that after this mission is completed, he can once again gain access to the Wilden family's treasury.

Last time, Sieg completed the tentative mission of Redbridge University and obtained the qualification to enter once. He wandered around the Wilden Treasury for a long time, which was full of occult items, advanced potions, and even occult books.

Seeger was dazzled and hesitated for a long time before choosing a yellowed book that looked a little older.

"General Theory of the Study of the Nature of Bloodline", author anonymous.

In fact, until now, Sigurt has not received a complete and systematic study of occultism, and he seems to understand the nature of blood, the structure of the human body, and the mysteries of the soul.

And this book may be able to answer his doubts.

Potions, props and whatever, he naturally has other channels to obtain, but knowledge is priceless!

Especially nowadays, the occult circle is highly concentrated, and the resources are basically concentrated in those few huge families, and it is becoming more and more difficult to obtain knowledge.

"Mr. Seeger, it's time for lunch. The captain next to him remembered what he had come to say, and greeted him and said, "The chef has prepared a table of dishes for you, and it will be delivered to your room later." ”

"I'm tired. Sieg nodded.

The ship was named the Blue Jewel and belonged to the Red Fox Company.

After receiving the order to go to the New World, Sieg wanted to sail on the Royal Fleet, but during this time, the Royal Fleet happened to be out to fight the rampant pirates of the open sea, and there were no spare ships. Later, through the intermediary of Nyusis, Sig switched to boarding the Red Fox Corporation's merchandise carrier to the New World.

The ship is also the port of Dawn heading to the New World, with the same goal as Sig.

Naturally, the Red Fox Company would not refuse, not only did it not refuse, but was ecstatic.

After all, there are many unpredictable dangers when sailing in the open sea, and if there is a mysterious person on board to escort you, it is naturally a matter of course.

In this way, Sigurt boarded the Blue Jewel and set off for the port of Dawn in the New World.

Of course, he always carried that space oil painting in a storage bag. Today's gluttonous world is still providing him with a steady stream of evil spirits.

Time ticks and the days on board are always boring and tedious.

Taking advantage of his free time, Sieg has been studying the book "General Theory of the Study of the Essence of Bloodline" these days.

The author of this book is somewhat obscure, and it contains terms that often bother Seeger, and it requires a lot of guesswork to understand the meaning.

But overall, the book is still very valuable for research.

Regarding the nature of the bloodline, in fact, there has been no conclusion in the circle of mystics, and each has its own thoughts.

The author of this book believes that the essence of the bloodline is something called [Yuanzi], which is hidden deep in the bloodline and even the soul of the human body.

Motoko is extremely tiny and invisible to the naked eye, but it has a strong genetic ability that can be passed down from generation to generation. And the motoko also has a certain ability to self-divide and can complete its own reproduction.

The author believes that Motoko contains a large number of ancestral abilities, and these abilities, once activated, will allow future generations to instantly possess a portion of the ancestral abilities. So theoretically, the higher the ancestral rank of a family, the stronger its descendants will be.

Of course, there will be a lot of irreversible losses in the process of inheritance, which will cause a family to decline over time if it does not replenish new blood in time.
