We Agreed To Set Sail and Become the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

Chapter 71 [Heart of Steam]

 It didn’t take long.

Fei Ya left the tavern in despair.

The reason why he wanted to touch Xia En was of course not out of any strange idea, but just to determine the condition of the other person's body.

 Now, he has got the answer.

“It is actually pure flesh and blood, without any trace of transformation or mutation.”

“The activity of blood and muscles is ten times that of mine…”

 The murals decorated on the walls depict some sacred scenes like sacrificial rituals. The butler and maid not far away are elegant and well-mannered.

 Other information is sparse.

 “Please lead the way for me.”

However, on the side of the castle, many metal pipes and valves can be seen along the walls, some of which are still actively spitting out steam and making hissing sounds.

 “One more thing…[Siren]?”

Has the powerful attributes brought by [Captain’s Asylum], plus the “second stage” of [Communication with Ship Soul].

“Besides, that young master happens to be free now and is willing to interview you.”

 He felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

 First of all, the time of [Blood Moon Night] is the night of the full moon half a month later.

 The scene in this ancient castle is reminiscent of those ancient nobles with excellent education and family inheritance.

 Every night after that, the blood moon will arrive as scheduled.

 “Is this really a body that humans can have?”

Xia En gained a lot of valuable information just by listening.

“Welcome both of you, but the young master is currently praying, please wait a moment.”

Xia En had no interest in gossip and just chewed the collected information silently.

 Not long after, the silver-haired butler took the initiative to step forward.

　That's true if you think about it.

The words of these guests unconsciously contained some emotions of awe and envy.

For example, space-time gaps, different-dimensional spaces, shadow worlds, afterimages of the past...

While sitting down to wait, Xia En silently observed his surroundings.

 First-level Mystic Pathgoers are existences that are difficult for them to reach, let alone second-level Mystic Pathgoers.

 It was still early, and Xia En was not in a hurry to leave.

At most, it can only be said that there is an ancient ruin without sea water.

　　It gives people a sense of dislocation that is both advanced and ancient.

“Hehe, that’s right! Loren ‘Thunder Fang’ has always been obsessed with her, and she was rejected after several expressions of love..."

 “A second-level secret path person?”

Xia En rarely encounters an opponent among first-level professionals, but when meeting a second-level mystic, the situation may be reversed.

Xia En was secretly surprised.

In the Seven Seas, there are actually quite a few [cracks] like this, but [Blood Moon Night] is more famous in the nearby waters.

However, what surprised Xia En.

　　When talking about gossip topics, the sailors showed tacit smiles on their faces and started chatting with great interest.

"Do you mean...I am wrong? He is right?"

 …

 The higher the level of the secret path, the greater the gap. In addition to pirates and scattered ships from other islands, the Archon of Silver Moon Island "Viper Quinn" will also send elite personnel to explore the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

“That’s right, Loren, the captain of the [Thunder], has been stuck as a second-level Mystic for several years.”

 But the tavern has always been the most well-informed place.

 At this time, the conversation of several guests attracted Xia En's attention.

 The heaviness of historical deposits is fully revealed.

Perhaps because of the previous battle with Feiya, the nearby guests were somewhat respectful of him.

  Neither exists in the present world nor in the sea.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

  He said in an elegant and clear tone: "Welcome to my castle, my friend."

“I hope that the attribute blessings brought by this comprehensive enhancement will not disappoint me!”

Just happened to meet Ganis trotting in sweating.

 On the secret road, every time you climb a step, your strength will change by leaps and bounds.

Thick white steam leaks out as the door opens, bringing a moist and warm feeling.

“There are second-level Secret Pathfinders on their ships, and the bounties on their heads are frighteningly high!”

 There may even be third-level secret path-finders!

As a result, Xia En's current strength is obviously not enough.

 A steward with silver hair and black eyes stood guard at the door and saluted respectfully.

A look of surprise flashed in Xia En's eyes: "Okay! Thank you Mr. Ganis!"

 Furthermore, when the "blood moon" appears on the sea, it will not disappear overnight, but will last for a full month.

 …

“We have to find the seller of the steam turbine and the artillery quickly and finalize this matter.”

Xia En looked at Fei Ya's leaving figure and hesitated for a moment, but still did not catch up to ask about the steam turbine.

“Captain Shane, there is news about the seller that I helped you find before!”

“Young Master’s prayer has ended, please come with me.”

  Simply sit in the tavern, eat some snacks, and inquire about the information about [Blood Moon Night].

Gannis wiped his sweat and said: "He happens to have an ancient relic unearthed from the [Rust Waste City] in his hand, called the [Heart of Steam], which should be helpful in updating your ship's hull."

 Not long.

The spherical steam boiler roared lowly, and the brass pipes, levers and gears happily cooperated with its operation, like inseparable friends.

 Hands of antiquity and luxury, tranquility and solemnity coexist.

At this time, standing among the many precision instruments was a petite figure wearing exquisite clothes.

The gate of the castle slowly opened.

  In comparison, with a few hundred gold dragon coins in hand, I am just a small upstart.

I have asked around, but there is not much information about the inside of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

 After entering the [Blood Moon Secret Realm], everyone will be a target of competition. Even if there is reliable information, they will not share it.

On the path leading down from Ganis, Xia En came to an ancient castle on a higher ground on Silver Moon Island.

“Not only the [Thunder], but also the [Aquila] and [Siren] will come this time!”

 Another person vowed: "He must have come here this time to use the secret treasure in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm] to advance in one fell swoop."

This hall has a quaint atmosphere.

According to some mystics, the space under the blood moon is a special [secret realm].

“Speaking of which, it seems that the Thunder Pirates will also come this [Blood Moon Night], right?”

Shaan followed the housekeeper to a door.

 After collecting the intelligence, Xia En was preparing to return to the dock to see the progress of the Black Swan's transformation.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　—

“Is that female captain related to the Siren?”

"However, I also heard that... the captain of the [Siren] is a great beauty, and many great pirates fall under her pomegranate skirt."

As the pastor of the Church of Steam, Fei Ya may be a little "broken" at the moment, so it's better to let him calm down first.

 In the white steam, strange steam devices can be seen everywhere.

Xia En touched his chin and thought again.

 There are many names for this [secret realm].

 The moon on the sea will not return to its original state until the next full moon night.

This ancient castle is made of black stones, with some faint dark red lines.

 There must be some people with second-level secret paths among them.

 “May the steam bless you…”

 “What the hell! Brother Xia En?”
