Chapter 71: The Savior of the Deep Sea (3)
The Barren Demon Vine is intelligent and conscious, so it did not rebel against Edward, and the choice was to obey and follow Edward's instructions.
There is rank suppression among demons, the weak obey the strong, and the low-level obeys the high-level is an instinct, and the creatures with demonic blood will try to survive, and attributes such as loyalty are insulated from these creatures.
Looking at the barren demon vine below that was no longer playing any clever tricks, Edward couldn't help but think of Dongchuan.
Dongchuan was the creature that Edward summoned for the first time using sparks, a lowly microbiology with the blood of a frozen demon, who responded to Edward's call in order to survive, but still died inadvertently.
Edward remembered the fear he had in his heart when he saw Dongchuan being eaten by insects, and couldn't help but smile.
If you go back to that point in time, maybe you will be the one who did it.
The other party knows too much, in order to survive, the other party will definitely take risks, everything is just to survive.
From the blackfish trading with himself, to the Lich's Tomb spark purifying the whole body, the time point of this time is the point where Edward is unwilling to go back, and the three-second delay is still a very uncomfortable thing for Edward, and Edward is not sure if he can use fireworks to purify the curse of the blackfish again, which is also the reason why Edward is unwilling to restart his life after meeting Zeze.
While Edward was thinking about things, the Barren Demon Vine also produced three fruits, and Edward's attention was a blue fruit containing the power of the water element.
Barren magic vines generally produce three fruits, the most gorgeous and huge is a fake fruit, and all monsters that bite down will be corroded by the strong acid inside, turning into a puddle of pus to nourish the magic vine. The smallest is the seed of the magic vine, and those who eat it will become a pot that nourishes and nurtures the little magic vine.
The blue magic fruit is not the kind fruit of the barren demon vine, but the inevitable choice of the demon vine family, the taste is poor, if the fruit can't be eaten, then there is really no need to exist.
In the botanical system of this world, the most unlikely thing to exist is a plant that has no natural predators and is not needed.
You're useless, so how can someone else allow you to get in?
Edward used the mage's hand to pick all three fruits, put the other two in a box and keep them, and the blue fruit containing the power of the water attribute was taken by Edward, and then pressed it into a silver plate with the power of his hand, crushing the entire fruit and the core.
The second-level black warrior already has quite a lot of strength, not to mention stabbing the rock with one hand, even a meter-thick iron door can punch in.
From the moment he gained his fighting spirit, he could no longer see himself from a human perspective.
The barren demon vine watched Edward crush his own seeds, and began to eat without saying a word, although the human in front of him was similar to it in strength, but the barren demon vine did not dare to resist the other party, and the other party's body was filled with an aura that made the demon vine fearful.
Edward is not afraid of magic vines playing tricks, he has summoned a lot of demons since he became a black warrior, and humanoid demons such as succubi have also called out some, and these creatures have also given Edward a "rating" when they were killed by Edward, and now Edward can't summon humanoid creatures of the same level as himself That's why, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned barren demon vines of the plant system.
In the same level, when the demon sees Edward, it is definitely the other party, not Edward, who is afraid.
The red juice and flesh produced an aqua blue smoke when exposed, and Edward held the plate to his mouth and gently sucked the smoke into it, which was the right way to eat it, not to swallow it in one gulp.
It doesn't hurt to swallow it in one bite, it's just that you will have demonic blood while having magical power.
There is no big harm in having demon blood, but when you see a higher-level demon, you can't help but be afraid.
A plate of smoke soon entered Edward's body, and Edward sat down after smoking and began to meditate.
Activating the five magic cores of his body with ease, this kind of thing was already a very simple thing for Edward.
"Although it is a magical talent with water attributes, the level is too low. After establishing the magic circuit, Edward opened his eyes and said to the demon vine that had already finished eating: "Demon vine, in three days, I will see a better magic fruit, if you can't do it, then I will change the magic vine." ”
Edward stood up and walked out of the culture room.
After Edward left, the ten soldiers began to pour the prepared food into the cultivation trough, and when the soldiers approached, the magic vine did not move at all, like a pet waiting to be fed by its owner.
After possessing magical power, many of Edward's spells can be unleashed without the power of sparks, which also makes Edward's current strength a great boost.
However, this is far from Edward's original magical talent, and Edward is not satisfied with this level of magical talent!
In the past, Edward had a magic talent of 7, but now it is only about 1.5, and he only has a magic talent of water element!
In any case, it was a joy to have a magical talent again, so Edward used Transfiguration to transform himself from a black-haired youth with a height of about 1.7 meters into a brown-haired teenager with a height of about 1.4 meters.
Edward looked in the mirror at what he was looking at, smiled and took out the clothes he had prepared from the cabinet next to him and put them on.
This identity is a new identity that Edward created for himself when he was bored, and in the eyes of outsiders, this teenager named Edward is just one of the people on the ship with a weaker sense of presence, nothing more.
Under the cover of 2,000 soldiers, Edward's trumpet possessed a strong sense of concealment.
At the beginning, I wanted to use two minds, while keeping my body in the cultivation of fighting spirit, and at the same time using mental power to control a corpse for the rest of the study, but Edward obviously did not have the talent and strength in this area, and soon failed, so this Edward's trumpet became a useless thing, and Edward regarded it as a game when he was bored.
Walking out of the palace area, Edward left the palace area and walked onto the deck under the gaze of many soldiers.
On the deck, there are ladies cleaning the deck, and there are also some women washing and drying clothes and bedding, which are all things to be done every day.
There was no shortage of fresh water on board, and Edward's water-trapping sails were created to block out the fog at night and turn it into water into the ship's tanks.
The nights here are more than twice as long as the day, and the sea water here is not undrinkable, it can be cooked and turned into water vapor.
The fuel on the ship was enough to last for more than a month, and as for what happened after a while, everyone didn't think too much about it, and when the time came, it was time to dock.
The unmarried women on the ship were placed in the women's quarters, and the husband and wife and children were placed together, and each household was staffed with a soldier, whom Edward did not like to die in a frivolous struggle.
After going out, a working woman came to Edward's side.
"Edward, have you seen the king?"
Edward looked at this beautiful woman, the other party was a slave on the ship, originally the daughter of a big noble family in the Blackwater Collar, and later became a slave because of the rebellion against Edward and sent to Edward, Edward modified the other party's memory, so that the other party became a friend of this Edward's identity, but out of bad taste, did not modify the other party's hatred for King Andrew.
Because of Edward's permission, this beautiful woman has the ability to love and hate, just like her own.
The strong don't care about the thoughts of the weak, and those who have no strength but only will are the saddest.
Andrew is Edward's disguise, and now Edward is still in disguise, and his real name and true appearance are known only to Edward himself and Blackfish.
"No, the soldiers called me in just to inquire about the recent condition on the ship. Edward said briefly, then looked at the soldiers around him and said to each other, "I'm going to work." ”
"Hmm. ”
There weren't many people on the ship who had seen Edward, everyone was busy every day, and it was impossible to know all of them, and there were no strangers on this ship.
"Edward, you're back, have you seen the king?"
The Whale was not large, and at the stern of the ship it met people who had seen Edward.
"No, the soldiers called me in just to inquire about the recent condition on the ship. All is safe, nothing is right. ”
"It's a bit bland, but that's what makes me happy. "Zhang Long likes this kind of ordinary life, which means safety.
Zhang Long is a native of Blackwater City, and he is also a fishing boat captain who is his duty, not surnamed Zhang, but called Zhang Long, just like Edward is not surnamed Ai, but the pronunciation is the same as Zhang Long, and the literal meaning is the same as the meaning of Tom's name, which has no meaning.
Newton, Malone, Mark, Bob, Hawking, Lucian, Leric, Chamberlain, Jordan, Gauss...... , it is normal to occasionally come out with one or two names with the same pronunciation as Chinese.
Edward looked at the sailors around him who were diving into the sea, some of them were sailors, some were seafolk who were familiar with the nature of the water, and some were learning to swim.
More than 100 people stood bare-chested at the stern of the boat, and there were soldiers around to watch, each person who was about to dive into the water had a flat strip of cloth half a finger width tied around his waist, and after entering the water, the people on it would slowly put the strip of cloth out little by little, and at the other end of the strip of cloth was a rotating drum that could rotate, and when the drum rotated counterclockwise, the strip of cloth was released outward.
Ten people went down each time, ten people in the bow and ten in the stern, and the Whale remained still, and after these people came up, they changed places, and then the next group of people went down.
The food on the ship is very precious, everyone has a quota for food, and if you want to hold balls and parties, you also have to handle the food yourself, so many people begin to obtain spiritual enjoyment through extra labor, for this, Edward does not forbid, but does not advocate it.
Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky
Edward's prescribed food was fishing, and the collection of dirt and resources was done by ropes and soldiers who did not need to breathe, and these people acted freely.
They spent half a magical hour to accomplish what Edward had prescribed to be done in one magical hour, and then spent the rest of the time making and planning the ropes and turners, as well as the organization of personnel, and the temptation of beautiful ladies to play with noble balls and musical instruments, made these sailors and ordinary people who had never seen the world in their lives desperate, hoping to integrate into the life of the noble lord as soon as possible.
Edward had no objection to the face of the turner, and it was a good thing that these people were willing to use their brains to apply the knowledge they had imparted to practice.
The rope was lowered slowly, and Edward looked at the other side of the group, who had been in the water for a while.
It didn't take long for the other spinners to turn rapidly with the efforts of the soldiers (Blackwater City soldiers), and the five people under the water also paid for the water, holding a one-meter-long, half-arm-high mussel in their hands.
"The water here is relatively shallow, and there should be a high ground below, and these sunshine mussels like to absorb sunlight in this kind of place, and the food at night has fallen!" Zhang Long smiled when he saw the sunshine mussels, the food of this sea mussel is not only delicious, but also nourishing.
Edward knew that this was the deep sea, but he didn't think that even the deep sea could have shallow places, such as islands and reefs.
At a glance, the sunshine mussels in the hands of the five people were all ordinary seafood, so they didn't care.
The size of the sunshine mussel is not small, everyone put down a basket to bring the sunshine mussel up first, and at the same time also pulled up the remaining sailors, regardless of whether the other party let them pull it up or not.
"Is there any danger down there?" Edward asked Long Zhang, looking at the rotator that quickly recovered the cable.
"Well, the Sunshine Mussel is a bit hot for most deep-sea creatures, and the only fish that likes to eat it is the Flame Fish, and the Flame Fish also like to gather around the Sunshine Mussel to rest, and after we bring the Sunshine Mussel out of the water, the Sunshine Mussel that absorbs a lot of sunlight will wake up the sleeping Flame Fish. Because Edward was the one who could enter the palace, even if the other party was very young, Zhang Long did not show impatience, but patiently explained.
Edward nodded, watching as the sailors who had been pulled out of the water were pulled to the deck one after another, and the people in the bow of the ship were also notified that everyone had boarded the ship, including the seven sunshine mussels that had been collected. (To be continued.) )
