Chapter 82 Praise to the God of Steam and Steel (3000)
The moonlight swayed down coldly.
The slightly scarlet waves gently beat against the hull.
Xia En stood on the deck, silently watching the [Petrel] drift away, but his thoughts were ups and downs in his heart.
He had previously guessed that the Seven Seas Federation, as the largest force on the Seven Seas and also nominally in control of each island, would most likely know the truth about the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].
And Duran's arrival not only proves this point, but also brings a piece of information worth pondering -
The Federation seems to be planning to attack the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]!
But why did you ignore this in the past and choose this [Blood Moon Night]?
Xia En doesn't think this is a pure coincidence.
“Perhaps, some vampires have already climbed to the top of the Seven Seas Federation.”
"And the top federal officials are not monolithic..."
Then again.
The Federation's intervention is undoubtedly a good thing for ordinary treasure hunters, and it may allow them to save a small life.
But for Xia En, it didn't have much impact.
He still plans to continue exploring the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] step by step according to the original plan.
After gathering his divergent thoughts, Xia En walked back to the captain's cabin.
In the corner of the room, there is a chair covered with a thick blanket.
The white and smooth cologne egg is lying there peacefully.
Xia En casually stroked her for a while.
The touch from the eggshell is as warm as jade, with a touch of body temperature, and it feels great to the touch.
This is a habit that Xia En has developed during this period.
Although Gu Long Dan has not spoken since the day he was brought on board.
But he could also sense that this ancient egg had actually fallen into a special state of dormancy.
The breath of life in it is becoming calm and restrained, but it also contains violent and vast transformation.
Like clouds accumulating a violent storm.
[Crew: Ancient Dragon Egg (hatching) (unbound)]
This message on the panel also proved Xia En’s conjecture.
With the idea of deepening the relationship with the scheduled crew member, Xia En would masturbate twice a day.
Not to mention, once you become proficient in egg-rolling, it will be similar to playing with cats and dogs, and it will give you a different kind of pleasure.
Xia En said softly while stroking the eggshell.
“Little guy, how long will it take for you to break out of your shell?”
“I hope... you won’t make me wait too long.”
……
……
In Silver Moon Bay.
Under the protection of many small and medium-sized frigates.
A huge ship with a dark viper drawn on its sails, slowly moving on the sea covered by the blood moon.
This is the [Viper] with a terrible reputation!
Different from the wooden hull of ordinary ships, its hull has a lot of steel structures, which reflects the metallic luster under the moonlight.
There are vague shadows of some steel battleships on the earth.
The towering chimney, the rising steam, and the melodious whistle...
all show that this large ship is equipped with a high-level steam device.
Steam technology on Silver Moon Island is relatively developed, so its use on ships is naturally indispensable.
[The Viper] There are three levels of cabins on the deck alone.
The people who can board these cabins are all prominent figures on Silver Moon Island, and their status is quite respected.
And in a cabin at the deepest level on the second floor.
A large amount of white steam with sacred properties is filling every corner of the room.
The gears rotate, the connecting rods vibrate and hum, mixed with the low roar of the steam core, together they form a prayer and praise unique to the machines, rising and fluttering with the steam.
"Push the lever, start the piston..."
"Push the button, start the engine..."
"Sing in unison, praising the God of Steam and Steel..."
With a sigh, the boy who was more beautiful than the girl ended his prayer.
At this time, Feiya's face was unnaturally flushed, large beads of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, and a faint scarlet color appeared in her pupils.
His body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying to suppress some impulse.
Such symptoms are slightly relieved with the completion of prayer.
"Huh..."
After a moment, Fei Ya let out a long breath.
“Sure enough, due to the appearance of the blood moon, has the instinct of blood become stronger?”
“It has long been impossible to completely suppress this desire just by praying to the God of Steam. "
"The effect of alcohol is also declining."
"Besides, if I continue to drink too much, my brain may really be broken."
"It seems that I can't delay it any longer..."
Fei Ya's face Showed a wry smile.
Of course he knows what some people in the tavern say about him.
"Steam Maniac", "Drunken Alcoholic Believer", "Mechanical Violence Maniac"...
Feiya doesn't like these nicknames either, but he... doesn't have a choice!
The limbs connected to the steam engine are experiencing slight itching and pain, which seems to be a signal of anxiety.
This is the deep instinctive desire of this body. Just drink fresh blood, and the missing right arm and left leg can grow quickly.
However, compared with the suffering of the "attack" just now, this test is nothing more than child's play.
Feiya easily suppressed this impulse, walked to the table, picked up the bread and wine, and started eating.
He needs to replenish as much energy as possible before setting off.
Although thanks to his mother's bloodline, he can eat normal food to maintain his daily needs.
But his father’s bloodline prevented him from feeling any taste when eating these foods.
Fortunately, Fei Ya has been eating such tasteless food for more than ten years.
I don’t feel like I’m used to it at all.
While eating, Feiya opened the window and looked at the sea covered by the blood moon.
"Huh? Is that... the Black Swan?"
"Captain Shane, did you really not listen to my persuasion?"
Fei Ya sighed. The tone is not surprising.
After all, we only met a few times, so we can't expect the other party to trust us unconditionally. "However, if we are lucky, we can meet in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]."
"Buzz——"
At this time, the steam manipulator named Milli buzzed, seeming to ask a question in doubt.
"Huh? You ask me why I still eat these things even though I know they are unpalatable?"
"Silly boy, of course it's because I don't want to drink other people's blood."
"Buzz...buzz..."
Not only Mili, but also the steam devices in the room made a suspicious buzz.
“Huh?”
“Why don’t you join in the same trend as them?”
“You have a lot of problems today!”
"The reason..."
Feiya swallowed the last bite of bread, picked up a box full of steam devices, and then climbed onto the window sill.
Looking at the scarlet blood moon on the sea, a wanton smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth.
"Damn it, I have to choose my own path!"
The next moment.
The full moon shattered, and waves of silver and blood rippled.
……
……
Wow!
[Viper] The largest and most luxurious cabin.
Listening to the sound of water coming from the side of the hull, "Viper" Quinn's face showed no emotion.
He is tall and straight, wearing a decent black dress.
The pale face was bloodless, and the pupils of the eyes were a beautiful deep red. He looked like he was in his early twenties, and had a completely different beauty from Feiya.
It even gives people a sense of weakness that is harmless to humans and animals.
When normal people saw him for the first time, it would be difficult to associate him with a cold and vicious nickname like "Viper".
However, behind him, both the housekeeper and the maid, all bowed their heads in great respect.
The tight body and meticulous demeanor all reveal a kind of fear and surrender hidden deep in the blood.
In the room, there were several noble and higher-status vampires enjoying the "good wine" in the cups.
It looked like a small banquet.
The main course was a girl on the table who was still breathing.
"Sir..."
Not long after, the butler with silver hair and black eyes came in and bent down to report.
"The young master has entered the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]."
"Yes, I understand."
Quinn picked up the wine glass filled with scarlet liquid next to him, and gently He took a sip and showed some enjoyment.
The silver-haired butler was startled, but continued: "Some time ago, the young master seemed to have corresponded with people from the Federation."
"I wonder...will it affect your master's plan?"
Hearing this, a figure wearing a brass mask and covered in gray robes standing not far from the room spoke in a low voice.
"Quinn, it's time to seriously control your heirs."
"If he ruins this hunt and makes the clan leader dissatisfied, let's see how you end up with it."
As the elder of the clan, his tone was vaguely condescending and reproachful.
“Don’t forget, why are you able to secure your position as consul?”
In this regard, Quinn just chuckled gracefully.
“It’s normal for children to be ignorant and do some self-righteous things.”
“Who hasn’t been young yet?”
The man in gray robe sneered: "Oh, if I were you, I wouldn't leave such a rebellious heir."
"Are there any females on the island who don't want to mate with you?"
< br>“As long as you spend a long time, you can always cultivate one or two satisfactory heirs.”
“No, you don’t understand.”
Quinn shook his head, blood red A strange light flashed in his pupils, and there was a hint of fanaticism in his tone.
"Feiya is different."
"He can be closer to the Scarlet Lord than me, than you..."
"But before that, I will completely destroy his Faith and perseverance allowed him to fall into the arms of the Scarlet Lord with all his heart.”
“This [Blood Moon Night] is undoubtedly the best opportunity.”
I feel this. The cold meaning in the words made the man in gray robe feel a little chilly in his heart.
He said sarcastically.
"You are worthy of a man who cut off the hands and feet of his own heirs. So, what are you going to do with those people in the Federation?"
A hint of contempt appeared in Quinn's eyes: "They will soon understand that everything they have done is in vain."
"Since you have come, stay forever and become our blood food."
After that, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said to the blood moon on the sea.
"A toast to the Scarlet Lord."
Seeing this, the other vampires in the cabin also raised their glasses of blood and said in unison.
“A toast to the Scarlet Lord!”
……
……
A blink of an eye.
It was the next night.
The blood moon appeared on the sea as scheduled.
Xia En put on a ring called [Dark Scarlet] and sat in the captain's cabin with a rather expectant look in his eyes.
Yesterday, he was forcibly kicked out by the Scarlet Lord because he used the Hui Cult Talisman.
A lot of ship soul power was wasted, and it was not fun at all.
Recalling what the vampires did in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], Xia En felt sick, and it was really unpleasant not to chop one or two more.
The moment the words [Deep Sea Diving] lit up, he closed his eyes and whispered to himself.
“Have a good hunt tonight!”
Thanks to “Hao Sleepy Tears” for the 500-coin reward! Thank you so much!
