We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

It didn't take long.

Feiya 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.

And now, he has the answer.

"It's actually pure flesh and blood, with no traces of transformation or mutation."

"The activity of blood and muscles is ten times that of mine..."

"Is this really a body that humans can have?"

"Does it mean that... I am wrong? He is right?"

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It neither exists in this world nor in the sea.

There are many names for this [secret realm].

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

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.

After asking around, there was not much information about the inside of the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

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

Other information is sparse.

That's true when you think about it.

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.

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

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

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

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."

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

"There are second-level Mystic Pathfinders on board their ships, and the bounties are frighteningly high!"

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

First-level Mystic Pathgoers are existences that are beyond their reach, let alone second-level Mystic Pathgoers.

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

"Hehe, isn't that right! 'Thunder Fang' Loren has always been obsessed with her, and she was rejected several times when she expressed love..."

When the topic of gossip came up, the sailors showed tacit smiles on their faces and started chatting with great interest.

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

"Second-level Mystic Pathfinder?"

There was some sense of urgency in his heart.

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

Xia En could hardly find an opponent among first-level professionals, but when meeting a second-level mystic, the situation might be reversed.

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

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].

There are certainly second-level secret path-finders among them.

There may even be third-level mystics appearing!

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

"We need to find the seller of the steam turbine and artillery quickly and finalize this matter."

"I hope the attribute blessings brought about by this comprehensive enhancement will not disappoint me!"

Xia En touched his chin and thought again.

"One more thing... [Siren]?"

"Is that female captain related to the Siren?"

…

…

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

I happened to meet Ganis, who was trotting in sweating.

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

Ganis 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."

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

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

"Please lead the way for me."

Not long after.

Following the path led by Ganis, Xia En came to an ancient castle on a higher ground on Silver Moon Island.

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

The heaviness of historical deposits is fully revealed.

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.

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

Squeak——

The castle gate slowly opened.

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

"You two are welcome to visit, but the young master is currently praying, please wait a moment."

While sitting down and waiting, Xia En silently observed his surroundings.

The atmosphere of this hall is quaint.

Antiquity and luxury blend together, tranquility and solemnity coexist.

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.

Xia En was secretly surprised.

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

In comparison, holding a few hundred gold dragon coins, I was just a small upstart.

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

"The young master's prayer has ended. Please come with me."

Shane followed the housekeeper to a door.

laugh--

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

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

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

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

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

"May the steam bless you..."

"What the hell! Brother Xia En?"
