Chapter 1080 Old Duke's Trouble
When Chris saw the description of the shape of the metal body, something that seemed familiar to her quickly came to mind, but that thing was not in the sea, but underground.
The excavation of prehistoric civilization relics has always been the most important task of the Royal Society of the Kingdom of England. Every year, the Royal Society uses the influence of the Kingdom of England to excavate secret relics of prehistoric civilizations around the world and search for usable prehistoric remains.
Tools of civilization.
Although Chris has never been officially exposed to these things, she is the princess of the Kingdom of Inge after all. With her status, she can also read various related records and even go to secret excavation sites that are never disclosed to the public.
I also saw some magical objects, including the metal body mentioned in this diary.
As for what the metal body is, the Royal Society of the Kingdom of England has never had a unified answer. The only thing that can be determined is that the metal body is hollow and may be some kind of vehicle.
After understanding the basic structure of this metal body, the Poseidon Church believed that it was a ship created by Poseidon, specially provided for devout believers and dependents to travel to the kingdom of Poseidon.
The reason for making such a judgment is mainly because the manufacturing process of this metal body is definitely not a manufacturing process that humans can master. Only gods can create such great creations.
Secondly, this metal body has unimaginable sealing properties, and no gaps can be seen on the surface in the closed state, which makes it a strong barrier to water.
Finally, there is such a large metal body. Even if it is hollow, its weight is immeasurable. Only the strong buoyancy of sea water can hold up this metal body.
That's why the Church of Poseidon is so sure that this is a creation of Poseidon, and the Royal Society of the Kingdom of England did not deny this statement, and even actively accepted it. After all, they can't find anything more credible than the statement of Poseidon's creation.
.
There is no record of this type of metal body in the Poseidon world. This is the first time Chris has seen it. She is also curious about this metal body, but her curiosity about the metal body is less than her desire to obtain the blood helmet.
Obviously the difference was not even a tiny bit, so in order to avoid unnecessary complications, she didn't want to agree to Leo's request.
But for some reason, Chris could clearly feel that Leo should know what this metal body was, which made her even more curious about Leo's identity in the world of Velen.
"Do you know what this is?" Chris asked directly without hiding her curiosity.
When Leo heard this, he was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "I do know what this is."
Chris asked again: "What is it?"
"A ship." Leo gave the answer, but his answer was too simple and extremely misleading.
Sure enough, Chris frowned when she heard the answer given by Leo, because this answer reminded her of the statement of the Poseidon Church in the Kingdom of England.
Kris suddenly lost interest in the metal body and said, "It's okay to stay, but not for too long."
Leo nodded and said nothing more.
I don’t know how long it took, but Old Duke found Chris and told her that the ship needed to enter the maelstrom was ready, and asked her if she wanted to take a look.
Chrissy knew what the ship looked like, so she wasn't interested, but Leo was somewhat interested in it, so he and Old Duke left the fortress and walked towards the small pier on the side of the island.
On the road, Old Duke secretly looked at Leo from time to time, constantly guessing about Leo's identity.
According to old Duke's common sense, people like Leo who don't have any characteristics of the Poseidon should be at the bottom of the world, let alone get along with the real powerful high-ups of the Poseidon Church like Chris, even if they are equal.
Most of the clergy of Poseidon Church are much nobler than him.
But Leo was an exception, and this exception appeared without any warning.
Although Old Duke was put under house arrest in the Taranc Trench by Chris in disguise and unable to leave even a step, he was not ignorant of the outside world. On the contrary, he had used the special resources obtained from the Taranc Trench over the years to establish himself in the outside world.
An intelligence network was established.
Although the scale of this intelligence network is not very large, and there are no particularly powerful characters, and it is even less likely to collect internal intelligence from those big forces, it is not difficult for his intelligence network to collect some information that has been made public, especially
Various information surrounding Chris.
If a person with equal status to her appears next to Chris and does not have the characteristics of the sea clan, then he will definitely know, after all, such a thing cannot be hidden.
But the latest news he got was the same as before. It was that Chris was busy with various matters related to the establishment of some divine temples, so Leo's appearance could only be after his latest information, before arriving at the Taranc Trench.
period of time.
"Have you been with Lady Chris for a long time?" Old Duke asked tentatively.
Leo replied directly: "I am not Chris's subordinate, I am just her collaborator,"
"Collaborator? Being able to cooperate with Lady Chris, your status is not low." Old Duke continued to ask tentatively: "As far as I know, there is a group of people in the Sea Clan who can make themselves perfect by taking special drugs.
He hides all the characteristics of the Sea Clan, just like ordinary people."
"I'm not from the Sea Clan." Leo gave another simple answer, and then before Old Duke could continue to test, he said: "You don't need to find out my identity, you can't find out, and you can't find out.
Instead of caring about the identity of me, a stranger who won't stay for too long, why not care more about yourself!"
Leo's words made Old Duke's face darken slightly, because they made him think about whether what he was secretly planning had been discovered, and whether Leo was giving him a warning.
"You don't have to think about anything else, I'm talking about your body." Leo's words interrupted Old Duke's contemplation and said, "Did you take some extracted blood in order to purer the sea clan transformation in your body?"
Drug?"
Old Duke was stunned. He didn't expect that what Leo was going to say was this. He felt relieved a little after mentioning it just now. He nodded and said, "Yes, I took it, but this shouldn't be the case."
What’s the big problem? I know that many people, including the sea tribe themselves, are using medicine to improve their bloodline.”
"Yes, everyone is taking drugs to improve their blood vessels, but the problem is that the drugs you use are different from those of everyone else." Leo said to Old Duke with deep meaning: "Since you took that
After taking the medicine, your body has completely transformed into a sea creature, but do you often feel that you sometimes cannot control your body?"
When Old Duke heard this, he stopped instantly and looked at Leo with a shocked expression. It was obvious that his expression had given him the answer.
However, Leo seemed to have lost interest in talking, and instead of saying anything else, he walked towards the small pier that came into view.
Old Duke stood blankly for a moment, then woke up quickly, and quickly chased after him, wanting to ask Leo why he knew these things, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips, not because he was embarrassed to ask,
But because there are already many people gathered around, this is not the right place to ask about these private matters.
In this small dock, the people from the Divine Temple are taking over the work from Old Duke's people, making final inspection preparations for Chrissy to go to the Tarrank Trench.
Leo is not the only one who goes to the Taranc Trench with Chris this time. There are also three senior clergy from the Temple of Gods who will participate. Judging from the energy fluctuations emanating from these three senior clergy, each of them
Each one has the strength of a bishop of the Poseidon Church, and he is a real person, not a civilian bishop who was promoted because of his qualifications or other reasons.
Almost all the weapons and medicines prepared now are prepared for these three people. When they reach the trench, if any problem is encountered, the three of them will be the main force in the attack.
In addition to the weapons prepared to be used in the water, the most eye-catching thing in the entire small dock is the shuttle-shaped metal boat docked at the dock. If Leo hadn't been sure that he didn't see the vector engine, he almost regarded the shuttle-shaped metal boat as a rescue mission.
The space capsule.
There is no doubt that in an environment like a maelstrom, this kind of fully enclosed shuttle-shaped hull is the most suitable. As long as it does not hit the rock directly from the front end, there is basically no danger of the hull being crashed. At most, it will only suffer a little damage to the surface.
Moreover, this ship will be abandoned once it enters the trench. When it leaves the trench, it will leave through another channel of ocean currents gushing outward.
As for why you don’t choose another ocean current channel to enter the trench, it’s because once you enter that channel, any extraordinary power will be restricted, and the only thing you rely on is physical strength. In that kind of high-speed ocean current, you can’t achieve anything with physical strength alone.
It is almost impossible to go down against the current, you can only go up with the current.
Leo stayed at the small pier for a while, then turned around and walked back, and Old Duke followed closely.
After leaving the crowd and entering a deserted alley, Old Duke quickened his pace, caught up with Leo, and hurriedly asked: "You don't seem to have finished speaking just now. Since you know my situation very well, you know it after all."
The reason is, is there something wrong with the medicine I’m taking?”
Leo looked at Old Duke and said: "There is a taboo library in the main church of Poseidon Church. There are a large number of taboo books stored in it. Among them is a book specifically recording various taboo potions. This book contains a record of
This medicine is called an anti-ancestral medicine. The effect of this medicine is very direct, it is to enhance the original blood in the body of the user, and then return to the state of the ancestors."
When Old Duke heard that Leo was able to freely go to the Forbidden Library to read the forbidden books there, the look on his face became serious. In his understanding, only the core clergy of the Poseidon Church can read these books, so
At this moment, he already regarded Leo as a disguised high-ranking member of the Poseidon Church.
Faced with this situation, Old Duke naturally would not admit that he had taken the forbidden medicine, so he said somewhat vaguely: "This medicine sounds very good, why has it become a taboo medicine?"
"For two reasons, the first reason is that the person who made this potion is a heretic, a very dangerous heretic, and the other reason is that there are too many uncertainties in this potion," Leo said calmly: "Because
Before taking it, you have no idea what your original bloodline is, just like you now want to transform yourself into a sea clan, but after taking the potion, the bloodline that awakens and improves is not a sea clan at all."
"You said I'm not from the Sea Clan?" Old Duke's face darkened, a trace of panic appeared in his eyes, and the spikes covering his body trembled slightly in response to the change in emotion.
The reason why Old Duke spent all his savings accumulated over the years at all costs to find someone to buy a batch of this atavistic potion and has been taking it is because he hopes to completely transform himself into the Sea Clan and thus take advantage of the Sea Clan's amnesty order.
, escape from this ghost place of Taranc Trench.
However, now Leo actually told him that the mutation in his body was not that of the Sea Tribe. This was tantamount to breaking his hopes and making it difficult for him to accept it no matter what.
Leo said: "Although the Sea Clan is now known as three thousand ethnic groups, in fact the root race of the Sea Clan is only sixteen races, which is what the Poseidon Church often calls the sixteen great creations. You can compare it yourself. Now that the bloodline has been improved,
What are the similarities between the appearance characteristics and the abilities gained after the awakening of the bloodline and these sixteen clans, and what are the similarities with the other three thousand sea clans."
After hearing this, Old Duke thought about it carefully and found that just as Leo said, the mutation in his body and abilities were very different from those of the real sea people.
In fact, he had noticed this problem before, but he also knew that the mutations in the people who transformed from the sea tribe were all kinds of strange, and his swollen body covered with spikes seemed normal, so he didn't care about it.
, now under Leo's reminder, he realized that all the mutation characteristics and ability characteristics of his body were completely different from those of the Sea Clan.
"My ancestors were converts?" Old Duke quickly thought of the answer and asked tentatively.
When the Sea Clan Expeditionary Force conquers the world, some extremely weak worlds will take the initiative to surrender to the Sea Clan. In order to stabilize the situation, the Sea Clan Expeditionary Army will arrange marriages between some Sea Clan people and people from these worlds. In the end, these people will have a very small number.
Children born of mixed race are called converts.
This may also be the case with Old Duke's ancestors, so there must be Sea Clan blood in Old Duke's bloodline, but he was unlucky that the bloodline that played a dominant role in his body was not Sea Clan blood, but another.
It's a bloodline, but this bloodline looks a bit like the sea clan in appearance.
Leo nodded and said, "It should be."
"Are those things that happened to me caused by thinking that I inspired the wrong bloodline?" Old Duke couldn't help but ask.
Leo gave a vague answer: "Not exactly."
