Chapter 1080: Old Duke's Troubles
When Chrissy saw the description of the metal body, something quickly came to her mind that felt familiar, except that it was not in the sea, but underground.
The excavation of the remains of prehistoric civilizations has always been one of the most important tasks of the Royal Society of the Kingdom of England, and every year the Royal Society uses the influence of the Kingdom of England to excavate the remains of those secret prehistoric civilizations around the world, from which they can still use the tools of prehistoric civilization.
Although Chrissy had never been officially exposed to these things, she was the princess of the Kingdom of England after all, and by virtue of her status, she was able to read all kinds of records related to them, and even went to secret excavations that were never made public, and she also saw some magical objects, among which was the metal body mentioned in this diary.
The Royal Society of the Kingdom of England has never had a unified answer to what a metal body is, the only thing that is certain is that the metal body is hollow, possibly some kind of vehicle.
After understanding the basic structure of this metal body, the Poseidon Church believed that it was a ship created by Poseidon for devout believers and their families to travel to the Poseidon Kingdom.
The main reason for this judgment is that the manufacturing process of this metal body is definitely not a manufacturing process that human beings can master, and only the gods can make such great creations.
Secondly, this metal body has an unimaginable seal, and there are no gaps on the closed surface at all, which makes it also have a strong barrier effect on water.
In the end, it is such a large metal body, even if it is hollow, but its weight is immeasurable, and only the strong buoyancy of seawater can hold up this metal body.
That's why the Poseidon Church is so sure that this is the creation of the Poseidon Church, and the Royal Society of the Kingdom of England did not deny this statement, and even took the initiative to accept this statement, after all, they could not find any more credible statement than the Poseidon creation theory for the time being.
There is no record of this kind of metal body in the Poseidon world, this is the first time Chrissy has seen it, and she is also curious about this metal body, but her curiosity about the metal body is obviously not half a star worse than the desire to obtain the blood battle helmet, so in order to avoid extraneous complications, she does not want to agree to Leo's request in her heart.
But for some reason, Chrissy could clearly sense that Leo should know what this metal body was, which made her even more curious about Leo's identity in the world of Veron.
"Do you know what this is?" Chrissy asked bluntly, not hiding her curiosity.
Hearing this, Leo was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "I do know what this is. ”
Chrissy asked, "What is it?"
"A ship. Leo gave the answer, but it was too simplistic and misleading.
Sure enough, hearing Leo's answer, Chrissy frowned, because this answer reminded her of the kind of statement of the Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of England.
Chrissy suddenly lost interest in the metal body and said, "It's okay to stay, but not too long." ”
Leo nodded, not saying anything more.
After an unknown amount of time, old Duke found Chriss, said that the ships needed to enter the maelstrom were ready, and asked Chrissy if she wanted to take a look.
Chrissy knew what the ship was like, so she wasn't interested, but Leo was a little interested in it, so she and Duke Sr. left the fort and walked towards the small dock on the reef side.
On the way, Duke Sr. secretly looked at Leo from time to time, and kept guessing Leo's identity in his heart.
According to Old Duke's common sense, a person like Leo who does not have any characteristics of the Sea Clan should be the lowest person in the whole world, not to mention getting along with Chriss, the real real power of the Poseidon Church, even the ordinary Poseidon Church clergy are much more noble than him.
But Leo was an exception, and that one came without warning.
Although Duke Sr. was placed under house arrest in the Tarankk Trench by Chrissy in disguise and could not leave a single step, he was not ignorant of the outside world, on the contrary, he had used the special resources obtained from the Tarankk Trench over the years to establish an intelligence network in the outside world.
Although the scale of this intelligence network is not very large, and there are no particularly powerful characters, and it is impossible to collect the internal intelligence of those big forces, it is not difficult for his intelligence network to collect some information that has been made public, especially all kinds of information around Chrissy.
If Chrissy had a person with an equal status with her and no sea clan characteristics on her body, then he would definitely know that after all, such a thing would never be hidden.
But the latest news he got was the same as before, Chrissy was busy with various matters related to the establishment of some Divine Sanctuary, so Leo's appearance could only be after his latest information, before coming to the Tarankk Trench.
"Have you been with Mistress Chrissy for a long time?" asked Old Duke tentatively.
Leo replied directly, "I'm not Chrissy's subordinate, I'm just her collaborator,"
"Collaborator, to be able to cooperate with Lord Chrissy is not low in your status. Old Duke continued to ask tentatively: "As far as I know, there is a group of sea tribes that can perfectly hide all the characteristics of the sea tribe by taking special drugs, just like ordinary people. ”
"I'm not a sea clan. Leo gave another simple answer, and then, without waiting for old Duke to continue to probe himself, he said, "You don't have to find out my identity, you can't find out, and you should care more about yourself than about my identity as a stranger who won't stay long!"
Leo's words made Old Duke's face gloomy a little, because it made him think about whether what he was secretly planning had been discovered, and whether Leo was giving him a warning.
"You don't have to think about anything else, I'm talking about your body. Leo's words interrupted Old Duke's musings and said, "Did you take some bloodline extraction medicine in order to make the sea clan in your body more pure?"
Old Duke was stunned, he didn't expect Leo to say about this, his heart just now relaxed a little, and nodded, and said, "Yes, I took it, but it shouldn't be a big problem, right? I know that there are many people, including the Sea Clan themselves, who are using medicine to improve their bloodline." ”
"Yes, everyone is doing the thing of taking drugs to boost their bloodlines, but the problem is that the drugs you use are different from those of all those people. Leo said meaningfully to Old Duke, "Since you took that drug, your body has been completely sea clan, but do you often feel that you can't control your body sometimes?"
Old Duke stopped in an instant when he heard this, and looked at Leo with a shocked expression, obviously his expression had already given the answer.
However, Leo seemed to have lost interest in the conversation, and did not say anything more, but walked towards the small pier that had already caught his eye.
Old Duke stood dumbfounded for a moment, quickly came to his senses, and hurried after him, wanting to ask Leo why he knew about these things, but the words came to his lips and swallowed again, not because he was too embarrassed to ask, but because there were many people gathered around, and this was not the right place to ask about these private matters.
In this small dock, the Templars of the Divine Descent are taking over the work of Duke Sr.'s men to make the final preparations for Chriss' journey to the Tarankk Trench.
Leo is not the only one who went to the Tarankk Trench with Chrissy this time, and there are also three high-ranking clergy from the Divine Descent Church who will participate, judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from these three high-ranking clergy, each of them has the strength of the Poseidon Church bishop, and they are also the kind of civilian bishops who are not promoted because of seniority and other reasons.
The weapons and potions prepared now are almost all prepared for these three people, and when they reach the trench, once they encounter any problems, the three of them will be the main force of the attack.
The most striking thing about the small dock, aside from the weapons that were ready to be used in the water, was the shuttle metal ship docked at the dock, and if it weren't for the fact that he didn't see the vector engine, Leo would have almost seen the shuttle metal ship as a rescue capsule.
There is no doubt that in the environment of the maelstrom, this fully enclosed fusiform hull is the most suitable, as long as it does not hit the rock directly from the front end, basically the hull is not in danger of crashing, at most there is only a little surface damage, and the ship will be discarded once in one go, and when it leaves the trench, it will leave through another channel of currents gushing outward.
As for why you don't choose another current channel when you enter the trench, it is because once you enter that channel, any extraordinary power will be forbidden, and the only thing to rely on is physical strength, and in that kind of high rate of fire current, it is almost impossible to go down against the current with physical strength alone, and you can only go up the current.
Leo stayed at the little dock for a moment, then turned and walked back, and old Duke followed.
After leaving the crowd and entering the deserted path, Old Duke quickened his pace, caught up with Leo, and hurriedly asked, "You don't seem to have finished talking just now, since you know my condition very well, and you want to know the reason, may I ask if there is a problem with the medicine I am taking?"
Leo looked at Old Duke and said: "There is a forbidden library in the main sanctuary of the Poseidon Church, where a large number of forbidden books are stored, among which there is a book dedicated to recording various forbidden medicines, and this book records a medicine called atavism, which has a very direct effect, that is, the most primitive bloodline in the body of the user is improved, and then return to the state of the ancestors. ”
Old Duke heard that Leo was able to freely go to the forbidden library to read the forbidden books there, and the expression on his face became a lot more solemn, in his cognition, only the core clergy of the Poseidon Church could read these books, so at this moment he already regarded Leo as a disguised Poseidon Church high-level.
Faced with this situation, Old Duke naturally would not admit that he had taken a forbidden medicine, so he said a little vaguely: "This medicine sounds very good, why did it become a forbidden medicine?"
"Because of two reasons, the first reason is that the person who made this potion is a heretic, a very dangerous heresy, and the other reason is that there is too much uncertainty in this potion," Leo said calmly: "Because before taking it, you didn't know what your original bloodline was, just like you want to make yourself a sea clan now, but after taking the potion, the bloodline that awakened and improved is not a sea clan at all." ”
"You say I'm not a Sea Clan?" Old Duke's face turned gloomy, his eyes showed a hint of panic, and the spikes all over his body trembled slightly in the change of mood.
The reason why Old Duke spent all the savings accumulated over the years at any cost to find someone to buy a batch of this atavistic potion, and he has been taking it all the time, is entirely because he wants to completely become a sea tribe, so he can use the sea tribe pardon to escape from the ghost place of the Tarankk trench.
However, now that Leo had told him that his body was not mutated by the Sea Clan, it was tantamount to shattering his hopes, making it difficult for him to accept no matter what.
Leo said: "Although the Sea Clan is now known as the Three Thousand Races, in fact, the root race of the Sea Clan is only sixteen races, which is what the Poseidon Church often calls the Sixteen Great Creations. You can compare it with yourself, what are the similarities between the appearance characteristics of the bloodline after the improvement and the abilities obtained after the bloodline is awakened with these sixteen clans, and what are the similarities with the other three thousand sea clans. ”
Old Duke thought about it carefully when he heard this, and found that as Leo said, the mutation on his body was very different from the real Sea Clan, both in terms of body and ability.
In fact, he had noticed this problem before, but he also knew that the mutations on the people of the Sea Clan were all strange, and the situation of his swollen body covered with spikes seemed to be normal, so he didn't care, and now under Leo's reminder, he realized that all the mutation characteristics and ability characteristics of his body were completely different from those of the Sea Clan.
"My ancestors were converts?" said Old Duke as he quickly thought of the answer, tentatively.
When the Sea Clan Expeditionary Force conquers the world, some extremely weak worlds will take the initiative to submit to the Sea Clan, and the Sea Clan Expeditionary Force will also arrange some Sea Clan and people from these worlds to marry in order to stabilize the situation, and eventually these people will have a small number of mixed race children born, and such people are called Returnees.
And the old Duke's ancestors may also be in this situation, so there must also be the blood of the Sea Clan in the bloodline of the old Duke, but the bloodline that he is unlucky to occupy a dominant role in his body is not the blood of the Sea Clan, but another bloodline, but this bloodline looks like the Sea Clan from the appearance.
Leo nodded, "It should be." ”
"Did all those things in me be caused by thinking I had stimulated the wrong bloodline?" asked Old Duke.
Leo replied vaguely, "Not exactly." ”
Old Duke was silent for a moment and asked, "Can I still be saved?"
