The elders of the Pure Mao Tribe had to clear out the pirates in their territorial waters and prepare for the attack of the [Elephant King], so they could only spare a few elders to rescue the tribe.
Helen was once the "King of the Shichibukai". She traveled overseas all year round and was familiar with the world structure. Regardless of her strength and reputation, she was able to suppress the little pirates, so she went out to sea with the ship.
The original plan was for Helen to disembark at Agaman Land and sweep all the slave markets along the way to rescue her people.
The efforts of the Pure Mao Clan are very popular in the outer sea market and are valuable. Not to mention whether they can be bought, but if they really have to spend money to buy back hundreds of thousands of slaves, it is estimated that the entire Pure Mao Clan's wealth will not be able to do it.
Therefore, the rescue mentioned by the Pure Mao people is not to buy with money, but to snatch it by force!
Now that Helen has refined the [Kione's Winter Chain], her strength is much stronger than before, and she does have the strength to steal it. At least she doesn't need these so-called big pirates in the Gruul Sea.
Take it seriously.
But Raymond knows that there are more than ten large slave markets in the entire Gruul Sea area. It is not only inefficient for her to make trouble everywhere, but it will also arouse the vigilance of slave merchants. The bigger the noise behind, the more likely the rescue will be.
It's getting more and more difficult, and you may even encounter an ambush by big pirates.
so,
In the end, Helen listened to Raymond's suggestion and went to Eludnes together.
The "City of Eternal Night" Eludnis is the most famous "neutral place" in the entire western part of the Endless Sea.
It is the junction of the three large sea areas of Gruul Sea, Basang Sea and Bomandy Sea. It is also the favorite place for pirates from several nearby sea areas to gather. That city has the most lively underground black market and the most prosperous one.
The Sensensepinjin Cave, the largest slave market.
Countless precious stolen goods can be bought there at lower prices... This is also the biggest reason why the game "Voyage" attracted countless players to join the pirate camp - the prices are much lower than on the market!
Due to its special location, that city is also one of the few ways to "smuggle" to the central part of the Endless Sea, outside of the "safe routes" controlled by the World Headquarters Navy.
Therefore, if the pure fur tribe captured by the pirates from the Gruul Sea want to transport the central waters of the Endless Sea, they will almost all be gathered in the "City of Eternal Night", and then transported out by the major slave trading houses...
Of course, the most important reason why this city is famous in the Endless Sea is that it was the place where the "Pirate King" Delos set sail! In the past two years, due to the spread of the "One Piece Treasure", countless outsiders have poured in
With treasure hunters, the city is bustling again!
Raymond is very familiar with the place.
If they hadn't lost their way in the chaotic wind belt, this would have been their first big stop after coming out of the Black Sea.
...
On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze blew warmly on my face, as gentle as a girl caressing her delicate hands.
The "Golden Ghost" sails on the boundless sea, like a half-submerged giant whale, leisurely and contented.
On the deck, a plump panda was fishing in the sea next to the fence with a big bamboo hat on his head. There were only a few small fish in the bucket next to him... A watching white-haired monkey was squatting on his shoulder and watching with great interest.
.
After fishing for most of the day, the panda frowned, turned to someone and muttered: "There are no big fish... Captain, I guess there are large sea kings under the sea, so it has almost eaten all the big fish."
How about we catch a sea king to eat today?"
At this moment, Raymond was diligently serving tea and water to a second-generation vampire who was lying on a beach chair leisurely basking in the sun. He had no time to pay attention to such trivial matters as fishing, and casually said: "Can Neptunes fish? Then you can fish."
chant..."
"Okay! Then I'll change the bait..."
The fat cat looked excited, staring at the deep sea, smacking his lips as if he was greedy, and said excitedly: "Ah... I can finally try that secret fishing bait formula. I'm really going to catch a big guy soon, eh
Master Zuo should be able to handle it..."
...
On the other hand, Lulu was very busy in the cabin laboratory.
Ever since he got the "mysterious tentacle" that his third uncle brought out from the abyss, he plunged into the laboratory and never came out again.
That part of the tentacles is really weird. Even though it has been separated from the main body for half a month, it is still alive and kicking without any sign of "dead".
The vitality of the cells extracted from the tentacles is so powerful that it has far exceeded the scope of normal organisms. Coupled with the golden blood coming out of the broken ends of the tentacles, Datouzi speculates that these tentacles may be real "god-level biological cells".
The bottom of the abyss crypt on Earth Demon Island has now been confirmed to be a real god's head sealed, which means that this tentacle monster may be a demonized creature directly bred from the god's head... Therefore, it was allowed to directly
Possessing the super active cells of the gods!
This is a living god-level cell that has not even been discovered by the World Headquarters Research Institute!
Raymond, the daddy captain, was still worried that his big-headed son was obsessed with research and didn't know how to "drink nutrient solution" on time. He also went to the laboratory to see him several times a day.
Datouzi said that this "super cell" gave him a flood of inspiration, allowing him to find the possibility of improving the high probability of sudden death in "Pharmacion No. 7", and even vaguely developed the research direction of "Pharmacion No. 8".
If it can be studied thoroughly, it may even allow humans to be like that tentacle monster, with a super powerful body at the level of gods!
...
Bang, bang, dong, dong...
The sound of metal banging and cutting in the cabin is endless.
This is another "gold-eating beast" of the ghost group at work.
Since the last time he got a batch of high-level magic crystals, Colin has not been idle. He has been busy working in the belly of the Iron Toad, knocking... building a magic energy hybrid boiler and a coating defense layer for the ship.
, and magic artillery... These all require a lot of time and energy. With Colin's efforts, the prototype of a super battleship that has both offense and defense and can run is slowly taking shape, like a poisonous snake, finally growing.
Revealing its deadly fangs...
However, as soon as the two big money spenders on the ship went to work, Raymond felt a severe pain in his head. No matter how much money was thrown at these two gold-eating beasts, they couldn't make much money.
Whether it's supporting Lulu's biological research or Colin's high-tech armor modification...it all requires a lot of money!
Obviously the fixed assets of the "Ghost Group" are extremely valuable. Just selling those high-end crystal cores can exchange for wealth that ordinary people can't squander in a lifetime.
But it cannot be sold. In the future, it will have to be purchased in large quantities to build the super artillery system...there is another huge funding gap.
The financial situation of the group is incredibly tight.
Even... Raymond himself wanted to gain potential points through krypton gold, but he could only get "little krypton joy" from the mouths of these two "gold-swallowing beasts".
Raymond thinks that the captain...the more he becomes, the poorer he becomes!
One Piece?
Nonsence!
This is a deceptive road of no return that turns even the richest man in the world into a pauper...
...
Raymond had previously killed the "Evil Eye Emperor" and sealed the highest-ranking being in the Evil Eye tribe. He was also surprised to find that he could actually peel off the complete spiritual power matrix from the monster's soul!
The mental power visualization chart he meditates on now is still the "Abyss Evil Eye Meditation Chart" that he got at Philip's Hidden Moon Castle. There are a total of 9999 complete mental power matrices of the ordinary evil eye.
But now...he discovered that the mental power matrix of the "Evil Eye Emperor" is more complicated, and its number alone is ten times that of ordinary evil eyes...
Because the complete soul of the Evil-Eye Emperor is sealed in Heins' notes, probably when Raymond copies all those matrices, it will be the only complete [Evil-Eye Emperor Meditation Chart] in the world!
With more than 100,000 mental power matrices, attention can increase people's mental power to a terrifying level. So much so that it is similar to the "Devil Ape Qigong" taught by the third uncle, and may be S's secret method of mental power meditation.
The ideal is very slim, at least the road is still far away. Even if Raymond's current understanding is superior, it will take several years to fully understand and copy all the complex mental power matrices...
So, Raymond is really busy.
In addition to the large amount of time it takes to draw a new mental power meditation map, the two S-level skills he learned, "Devil Ape Qigong" and "Six-Armed Yama Arcana", also require a lot of time to comprehend, not to mention that there is still a book in his lifetime.
Only those who can understand the "Secret Book of Potion Knowledge" must study...
Lack of money, lack of time... very scarce!
But recently, Raymond has been unable to be busy.
Because...Boss Enzo will disembark after the ship arrives at Eludnis, the "City of Eternal Night".
Raymond must cherish every day on the ship and ask the boss for some blood secrets. Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to try to see if there is a chance to obtain the blood of the third generation ancestor. If possible, he is even more curious about Enzo's second generation blood.
Where did it come from...
Of course, there is also "Sword Intent"!
Fortunately, Enzo, a chatty boss, is very easy to get along with. Raymond has been very attentive in the past few days, and the effect is very significant.
No, the boss turned on his demonic state and basked in the sun on the deck, enduring the pain of being burned by the sun... In the words of the boss, it was to enhance the light resistance and make up for the vampire's shortcomings of being restrained by light spells.
(Remarks: The thicker the bloodline of a vampire, the stronger the ability of the demon form, and the corresponding multiplication base of light spell damage will be higher;)
No, the daily chatting and spanking started again.
Raymond: "Senior, who is better, you or my third uncle?"
Enzo: "In terms of cultivation alone, there is probably no one better than him in this realm of senior brother."
Raymond: "Senior, what should I do if I want to increase my bloodline level now?"
Enzo: "If you keep sucking blood, you can break through the boundaries. Of course, that is a very long process, which may take decades or hundreds of years."
Raymond gradually moved the topic and asked: "Well...is there a faster shortcut?"
Boss Enzo smiled, obviously understanding what kind of medicine this guy was selling, "Don't you want me to help you convert to a third-generation bloodline like Capone?"
"Hehe...it would be better if it were possible."
Raymond touched the back of his head without concealing his purpose and smiled.
"I'm probably going to disappoint you."
Enzo shook his head: "The cost of bloodline conversion at the ancestor level is very high! When I converted Capone's bloodline, I spent half of the original blood, and then I succeeded by luck. Therefore, I can't convert another third-generation ancestor.
.So...you understand?”
"oh."
After listening, Raymond had a look of disappointment on his face.
But this is something that has been expected for a long time. If the blood of the ancestors is as easy to transform as ordinary vampires, then this boss does not use any other means to directly transform countless three generations of ancestor blood, wouldn't it mean that the endless sea is walking sideways?
Seeing Raymond's disappointed expression, Enzo raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
He changed the topic and said with a mysterious smile: "Of course, there are not no shortcuts."
He had already heard from his third uncle that his ability to see the light of day again from the crypt was directly related to the guy in front of him. In other words, it was not an exaggeration to say that Raymond and the others were his saviors.
Otherwise, even if he has the Vampire's "Fossilized Sleep" skill, he will probably sleep in that abyss crypt forever.
Raymond's eyes flashed as he listened, and his hope rekindled, "Really?"
"Um."
Enzo nodded, but the smile on his lips showed a hint of joking, "You guys are not curious about where my bloodline comes from, are you?"
When chatting with smart people, you don't have to beat around the bush. Raymond thought this was a good feeling. He took advantage of the situation and asked: "Master Enzo, where did your bloodline come from? Is there really a first-generation vampire in this world?"
Enzo shook his head: "No. As far as I know, apart from me, there seems to be no second ancestor of the second generation of vampires in the world, let alone the first generation. Of course, the third generation passed down by other ancient ways
There will be a lot of blood in the future..."
Raymond asked in confusion: "What about your bloodline...?"
Enzo added: "If you can find the 'Ship of Theseus', the source of the blood clan's inheritance, you can get at least a second-generation bloodline like mine."
"Ship of Theseus?"
A very unfamiliar term.
Raymond frowned as he listened. He racked his brains and couldn't think of where he had heard this term.
"When I was in the Black Sea, I was still an ordinary little nobleman. During a long voyage, I encountered a shipwreck and storm..."
At this time, Enzo did not hide anything, and told the story of his transformation into a vampire with great interest.
"The shipwreck caused our ship to drift to a strange place, like hell, like the netherworld... The ocean there was as scarlet as blood... And on the sea, there was a huge ship floating
A junky sailing ship..."
"That was the largest sailing ship I had ever seen... We ran out of ammunition and food, and I was the only living person left on the ship... I chose to climb onto the sailing ship to find out... That was
An ancient ship full of mystery, as if it comes from ancient mythology, making people feel the huge pressure from the gods..."
"There was heavy fog on the boat, and I didn't see any living people or living things. Then I groped my way into a room... suddenly!"
"What's sudden?"
Obviously the key plot of the story is about to happen...
Raymond, the only listener, immediately became nervous. Could it be that he was about to encounter some kind of monster?
But when Enzo said this, like those dog-breaking authors, the story suddenly stopped!
He did not continue telling the story, but instead winked and asked Raymond: "Then, guess what I saw?"
