Chapter 20: Deciphering the Strange Objects and the Blood of Transmutation

Rustle rustle ....

In the thick of the night, although the fierce sea breeze has stopped, I don't know when it will quietly rain again.

Because there are more than half of the people on the boat, the accommodation conditions are much more relaxed than before.

Thanks to his status as a chef, Byron was able to occupy an entire galley to himself, without having to endure the smell of pirates and go to the lower deck with them to squeeze into a hammock.

It was about two o'clock in the morning, when everyone on the ship slept soundest.

Byron, who was lying on a small bed in the corner of the kitchen, suddenly opened his eyes and bounced up, falling silently to the ground.

When the Spiritual Glow, anchored to the Silver Law, his biological clock is even less accurate than the world's most accurate marine clock.

After making sure that the doors and windows were all closed, he lit a whale oil lamp on the table before sitting back on the bed and taking out the "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Cookbook".

"[Logbook] is right.

As soon as I boarded the pirate ship [Maneater], [Secret: Captain Salman's Unspeakable Secret] immediately began to erupt.

The historical influence is 4%, and it is a matter of life and death for everyone in a boat!

It seems that the man-eating sharks in the sea and the pirates who drank the blood wine are all part of this crisis.

The source is this recipe that contains [forbidden knowledge]. ”

Byron gently stroked the cover of the recipe, which looked like human skin, but made people inexplicably have a strong appetite, and recalled the knowledge related to strange things in his mind.

"In this world, there are many kinds of strange things, and most of them are carefully crafted by the [craftsmen] of the tower sequence.

A small part of it was born naturally because of some unknown principle.

For example, with large-scale casualties, the evil sect [cursed things] that are biased towards the negative; It is a major historical or heroic deed, and it is biased towards a positive [holy relic].

And naturally born wonders are often more powerful than those made.

In the Heights Strait Fleet, there is a very famous relic [the world's first arquebus].

The power of weapon transformation in the tide of history is even more powerful than a third-order mid-sequence transcendent. ”

"It's just that they are not only scarce in number, but most of them have self-obscure characteristics, and only when certain conditions are met can their power be harnessed.

The naturally born [Holy Relic] is rare to see, so I will skip it for the time being.

After the ordinary strange object is made, it will be given the [Cutting Inscription] by the [Craftsman] or the first owner to belong to it.

The easiest way to do this is to read this inscription. ”

With the help of the [Logbook], Byron, who is the best at spying secrets, is confident that this crazy captain will not be able to steal chickens and rice.

I flipped through the thick book and saw that every page of it had a recipe written in lingua franca.

The first page, stuffed dormice:

The dormouse is stuffed with pork and minced dormouse meat, crushed pepper, nuts and herbs, and marinated with broth.

Stuff the pickled dormouse into a clay baking pot, bake it in the oven, and then put it in a soup pot to simmer.

Flipping back further, there is the porpoise pudding that I have already seen, and what pickled puffins, canned herring, pig blood chocolate, gran stinky dried shark...

There are no fixed cuisines in Tiannan and Haibei, as if it is a summary from dozens of different chefs.

All in all, it's a recipe with a flavor.

Just looking at the text description, I feel that I am not clean.

But Byron knew that these recipes were all appearances, and that it was impossible for the lingua franca to carry [forbidden knowledge].

Taking a deep breath, he took the initiative to inspire the [Echo of History] for this strange object.

In the azure eyes as deep as the sea, a flash of inspiration suddenly bloomed, covering the entire recipe like water waves.

Buzz——!

With a slight chirp, Byron felt his [spirituality] deplete rapidly, and a burst of emptiness came from his body.

After a moment of discomfort, he shook his dizzy head.

In the ancient transcendent language of Rune, the hints that emerged from the [Logbook] were read word by word:

"Praise to the Gluttonous Lord."

It is also the [Cutting Inscription] that activates "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Recipe"!

The strange object in the style of this book, with a blood-colored aura from the inside out, is originally a material that resembles human skin, and it really shows its original appearance.

It's really a leather book.

In addition to the title of the book, a gilded inscription with teeth and claws appears in the lower right corner of the cover - Lord of Gluttony.

The original lingua franca on the page has slowly disappeared, replaced by a piece of rune text and illustrations.

At the same time, part of the information about this strange object finally appeared in the logbook.

【Bloody Mary's gourmet recipes

Ability: When a devout follower of cooking reads a recipe and gains the corresponding knowledge, the recipe will also be synchronized with the recipe to read the recipe in the reader's memory.

When all the food knowledge in the reader's memory is drained, he will also become the nourishment for the recipes, brewing into a "blood brew" with miraculous effects.

The better the chef, the slower the recipe will be drained, but the more delicious and powerful the blood brew will be!

I don't know how to cut the inscription, I can only read ordinary recipes, and I can read the forbidden knowledge by reading the cut inscription.

Note: None of the Transcendents below the middle sequence are immune to this effect.

But! Great captain, what is the difference between this and a white prostitute for you? 】

"I finally understood why those chefs had disappeared.

Salman sent out the recipe for this idea.

- Keep feeding recipes from the chef and brew [Blood Brew]! ”

Byron's gaze only swept over the logbook and fixed on the rune text that appeared in the recipe.

"Compared to the ability of the recipe itself, the [forbidden knowledge] recorded above is the most precious."

With Byron's knowledge, it was easy to see that it was written a forbidden recipe for mixing with extraordinary blood and various ingredients: [Blood Brewing].

It can also be translated as "shujiu".

If you learn the taboo knowledge in this book, you can make hundreds of kinds of "cocktails" on your own.

Instead of being like the ignorant [Bloody Eye] Salman, who can only use the ability of the recipe itself to make those chefs into the only kind.

Byron just casually used a recipe for "seaweed egg drop soup" in his head, and got the locked recipe - [Transmutation Blood].

Raw materials: the body and soul of intelligent beings.

Efficacy: homogeneous transformation, different raw materials have different transformation directions.

Byron immediately connected the strange things he saw and heard on the ship:

Transmutation can be translated as: transformation, replacement.

In other words, if you use this thing on the [gourmet] Salman himself, it can be used as a 'staple food' of the same kind as a big supplement.

If it is used on others, it can transform other living beings, from the soul to the body, into their own shape.

The same is true of the man-eating sharks that have been controlled, and the pirates who fantasize about being superhuman!

What [Blood of Battle] is a lie.

In the end, Salman only needs to perform one more ritual to ignore the taboos on human beings in the [Silver Law] and never do it again..."

Suddenly, my ears moved, and I heard a strange movement above my head.

It was a very short cry for help, and... Dying struggle!

"Something's wrong!"

Byron reflexively grabbed his half-sword and was about to rush out of the kitchen.

But then he remembered the advice of old Hans, the shipwright, not to break the commandments, and stopped again.

One of the Ten Commandments of Pirates is [Commandment 3: Do not go on the deck between two and four o'clock. 】

What's more.

Byron, who had just dropped a massive purine bomb on a gout patient a few hours earlier, knew best.

Usually, the worst time for a gout attack is between 2 and 4 a.m.!
