Chapter 1: Tidal Blood
In mid-November, the port city of Duras, Duchy of Flanders, was ten o'clock in the evening
As the fishing season draws to a close before the arrival of winter, the harbor is filled with boats of all sizes, and most of them are well paid, except for those that have caught nothing due to some "accident". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The crew clutched the money bags they had just received from the captain and headed to the tavern near the harbor in groups.
I haven't seen a woman for more than a month, and these adult men who are adrift at sea are depressed, constantly whistling to the girls on the side of the road along the way.
"Hey, brothers, how about going to the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Tavern tonight? That's the best tavern near our port, the wine and barbecue in it are very good, and after eating and drinking, I'm sure you will hold the table leg and refuse to leave." ā
"Is that good? Then brother, you have to take me to have a good look. ā
The six sailors who disembarked from the same boat were ready to indulge themselves with the coins they had just gotten their hands on, and besides the nightingale shops, the other option was naturally the tavern with enough drinks, and several of the veterans were going to take the two newcomers to the tavern they frequented.
After walking out of the harbor for about ten minutes, a single-story tavern on a street corner appeared in front of several people, and the lively atmosphere inside had been transmitted to the street through the walls, making the hearts of these sailors who had been with fish at sea for more than a month itch.
"Brother, why are there no guards here? I've heard that our port is very chaotic, there are a lot of gangsters here, is this tavern safe, we all have "huge money" on us! If you are robbed, you must not cry to death. ā
The newcomer looked a little frightened, and when he was on the ship, the old sailors did not give him much about the chaos in the port, and the money bag in his arms was his first income, and he could not just be so unexplained, but his worries seemed to be unnecessary, for he saw the playful eyes of the two old sailors.
"Hah, isn't it safe? I'll tell you, this tavern is about as safe as the garrison here! Not to mention that most of the officers in the garrison like to have a drink here after work, just the big guy inside...... Hmph!"
Boom!
As soon as the words of the man here fell, the wooden door of the tavern in front of him was opened, and two figures flew out of it, to be exact, two strong men flew out of the tavern as if they had been slapped by some kind of giant beast, and fell to the ground like two rag bags, struggling to get up while bowing and apologizing to the tavern, saying that they must pay attention to these things in the future, put some coins on the ground in front of them, and ran away in disgrace.
"Ha, it's really good luck today, it's been a long time since no one made trouble in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Tavern, and today we really bumped into it, boy, do you think it's safe here...... Hey, Kylot, look here, dude, I'm here again, what's going on today?"
The newcomer watched his senior greet the figure who walked out of the tavern warmly, and he himself was a little shocked and speechless.
The burly figure that is nearly two meters tall, the oily knotted muscles reflected by the neon lights, and the presence that is about to explode make it difficult to take your eyes off it, and make people involuntarily give birth to some fearful momentum.
The newcomer opened his mouth, and suddenly felt that the strong muscles he was proud of were like a few pieces of fluffy white bread in front of him.
"He's Kailot, the guard who suddenly appeared in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Tavern two months ago, from the day he appeared, hehe, all the people who came here to make trouble and collect protection money were all thrown by him like this, and then the fame of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Tavern came out like this, everyone here in our port knows that there is such a monster here. Stay safe. ā
Turning around and bowing his head to spread the common sense to the trust around him, the old sailor proudly greeted Kailot, who was walking this way.
"Lame Jack? haha, is your leg healed? How's this month's harvest?"
Picking up the wine money from the two troublemakers from the ground, Kylott squinted his eyes and took a few steps forward before he could see the old acquaintance he hadn't seen for a long time.
As for how the two met, it all started when Kylot first arrived here two months ago, when this Jack was one of the first people to get drunk and make trouble, and he was honored to be one of the first people to be thrown out by him.
"Tsk...... It seems that the time spent in the water is still too short.
Jack, you go in first, the boss lady still has something for me to do!"
Feeling the sudden agitation in his body, Kailot muttered to himself, then looked up and patted Jack's shoulder, who had walked in front of him, and said with a smile.
Then he quickly rushed to the side of the tavern to watch the harbor, and walked down the stairs that were usually built to get water and wash clothes, and Kelot looked around to make sure that no one was around, and then a fierce man plunged into the icy water!
It's been two months since he came to this world, yes, Kylot's soul doesn't actually belong to this world, his hometown is quite far away, of course, there is no point in mentioning this now, so I won't say much.
At that time, the place where Kai Luo woke up was this port stone shore, and the first person he saw was the proprietress of the Shengang Tavern, who also took in Kailot, and the name of Kai Luo was given to him by the name on a wine box next to him.
"Whew...... It's still comfortable in the water, and I've been exercising for two months, so why hasn't the time I need to soak in the water every day be shortened?"
If someone could see in the water at night now, then he could see a very strange scene, when Kailot's body soaked in water was in a state of expansion and contraction everywhere, and all the skin was no longer the color that humans should have, but a kind of blue purple that belonged to other creatures!
Anyway, Kailot only found out after reading a lot of books bought from an old pedant in the port in the past two months, judging from the state he showed during this time, he was not a complete human in the strict sense, he should be regarded as a half-giant, or the blood of a tidal giant that once lived in the ocean.
Don't get me wrong, this world is not peaceful, disputes are everywhere, and humans are not the only masters on this continent, although the technology in some parts of the human race is still a little backward compared to Kailot's previous life, but in other aspects, it is already developed enough and even far beyond the previous life.
On this continent, the advanced and the backward coexist, some people are riding in cars, and some people are riding in horse-drawn carriages.
On this continent, magic and science coexist. Some people use all kinds of machinery to fight with cannon fire, and there are also people who use various magic to inflict different attack effects, and the battle between people is no longer the only mainstream, and the powerful and ferocious monsters in those places that ordinary people can't see also have their own territory and life.
A modern metropolis like in Kellot's previous life has emerged, with wooden spire houses and small cobble-paved roads, large estates of steel, stone and magic, and wide avenues paved with concrete for cars.
Electricity has become another new source of energy, but the energy generated by magic and alchemy is also driving the world forward, such as electric lights, ovens, and safes made of magic arrays.
Propellers, gears, pistons, and bearings began to be widely used in machinery, and they all tended to be huge, providing a steady stream of forward power for the development of human society.
The aforementioned giants are humanoid creatures that live all over the continent, and these large creatures, which are generally seven or eight meters tall, are not friendly to humans.
Every year or even every month, giants attack humans, and these highly intelligent beings are always able to find some weak areas of human cities, and then leave with fragments and leftover flesh after a frenzy.
Therefore, almost every country on the continent has issued a killing order to the giants, and they will kill the enemy when they see it!
All giants are hunted regardless of their temperament, which is why Kailot was in a hurry to run into the water just now, and the tidal giant bloodline in his body needs him to soak in the water for a certain amount of time every day before it can be suppressed.
If Kairot stays on land, then the tidal giant bloodline in his body will riot, thus revealing some characteristics that belong only to the giant species, that is, a large body and a strange complexion.
This is what Kailot tries to avoid, he still thinks of himself as a human in essence, and wants to live in human society, if the identity of a half-giant is found here, let alone life, it is not certain whether he can live or not, you must know that the half-giant is a good research object for some people.
As for the exercise that Kailot had mentioned earlier, it was something he had figured out from some of the deeds he had seen about the half-giants in books.
There are a lot of demi-giants in this world, and there have been some introductions to demi-giants in the book, which mentioned that half of the demi-giant's body is actually human bloodline, and the most fundamental way to suppress the other half of the giant bloodline is to make your human bloodline stronger!
Powerful enough to devour the other half's bloodline!Fuse it with your own human bloodline, and then naturally no giant characteristics will appear, and the human bloodline will be greatly benefited by devouring the giant's bloodline.
Because the giant bloodline not only brings people the disadvantage of being hunted down, but also the extremely terrifying natural ability contained in this bloodline!
For example, the abilities that the Tidal Giant's bloodline that Kailot now knows bring to him include physical enhancement and water elemental affinity!
Although the other abilities have not yet been discovered, these two abilities alone have greatly benefited him and given him the capital to settle down in this world!
