We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 82 Praise to the God of Steam and Steel (3000 words)

The cool moonlight shone down.

The slightly reddish, fine waves gently lapped against the hull of the ship.

Xia En stood on the deck, silently watching the "Seagull" sail away into the distance, his mind filled with turbulent thoughts.

He had previously guessed that the Seven Seas Federation, as the largest power in the Seven Seas and nominally in control of the islands, would most likely know the truth about the Blood Moon Secret Realm.

Durant's arrival not only proved this point, but also brought an intriguing piece of information—

It seems the Federation is about to take action against the Blood Moon Secret Realm!

But why did they ignore this before, and then choose this [Blood Moon Night] as the perfect time to do it?

Xia En didn't think it was a pure coincidence.

"Perhaps, some vampires have already climbed to the upper echelons of the Seven Seas Federation."

"And even within the federal leadership, it's not a monolithic entity..."

Then again.

The federal government's intervention is undoubtedly a good thing for ordinary treasure hunters; it might just save their lives.

But for Xia En, it didn't have much of an impact.

He still intends to continue exploring the Blood Moon Realm step by step according to the original plan.

Gathering her scattered thoughts, Xia En walked back to the captain's cabin.

In the corner of the room, on a chair covered with a thick blanket.

The pristine white dragon egg lay there peacefully.

Xia En casually stroked it for a while.

The eggshell has a warm, smooth texture, like jade, and carries a faint body temperature, making it feel wonderful to the touch.

This is a habit that Xia En has developed over this period of time.

Although the ancient dragon egg has not spoken since the day it was brought onto the ship.

But he could also sense that the ancient egg was actually in a special state of dormancy.

The life force within is becoming calm and restrained, yet it harbors a fierce and vast transformation.

It was like clouds gathering for a violent storm.

Crew Member: Ancient Dragon Egg (Hatching) (Unbound)

This message on the panel also confirms Shane's conjecture.

With the idea of ​​deepening his relationship with the crew he had booked, Xia En would casually masturbate a couple of times every day.

I must say, once you get the hang of petting eggs, it's almost like petting cats and dogs, offering a unique kind of pleasure.

Xia En stroked the eggshell as he spoke softly.

"Little one, how much longer until you hatch?"

"Hopefully... I won't have to wait too long."

……

……

In Silver Moon Bay.

Surrounded by numerous small and medium-sized escort ships.

A massive ship with a jet-black viper painted on its sails moved slowly across the sea shrouded in a blood moon.

This is the infamous "Viper"!
Unlike ordinary ships with wooden hulls, its hull has a considerable amount of steel structure, which reflects a metallic luster under the moonlight.

The shadows of some steel warships on Earth are vaguely visible.

The towering chimneys, the rising steam, and the melodious sound of steam whistles...

All of this demonstrates that the large ship was equipped with a high-level steam system.

Silvermoon Island's steam technology was relatively advanced, so it was naturally used extensively on ships.

The Viper alone has three decks of cabins.

Those who could board these cabins were all prominent figures on Silvermoon Island, holding extremely high positions.

In a cabin at the deepest part of the second floor.

Large amounts of white steam, imbued with sacred properties, filled every corner of the room.

The turning gears and vibrating connecting rods, mixed with the deep rumble of the steam core, together formed a unique hymn of blessing for the machines, rising and drifting with the steam.

"Push the lever, start the piston..."

"Press the button to start the engine..."

"Sing in unison, praising the god of steam and steel..."

With a sigh, the boy, more beautiful than a girl, ended his prayer.

At this moment, Fei Ya's face was flushed, large beads of cold sweat were seeping from her forehead, and a faint scarlet color appeared in her eyes.

His body was trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress some kind of impulse.

These symptoms were slightly relieved after the prayer was completed.

"call……"

A moment later, Fei Ya let out a long breath.

"As expected, the appearance of the blood moon has made the instincts of the bloodline even stronger?"

"Praying to the god of steam is no longer enough to completely suppress this desire."

"The effects of alcohol are also gradually diminishing."

"Besides, if I keep drinking, my brain might really break down."

"It seems we can't delay any longer..."

A bitter smile appeared on Fei Ya's face.

He certainly knew what some people in the tavern thought of him.

"Steam fanatic," "a mentally unstable alcoholic," "a mechanical violence maniac"...

Phia didn't like these nicknames either, but he... had no choice!
The limbs connected to the steam engine were experiencing slight itching and pain, like an anxious signal urging them on.

This is the body's deepest instinctive desire; it only needs to drink fresh blood for its missing right arm and left leg to grow back quickly.

However, compared to the agony of "falling ill" earlier, this ordeal is nothing.

Phya easily suppressed the urge, walked to the table, picked up the bread and wine, and began to eat.

He needs to replenish his energy as much as possible before setting off.

Although he is blessed with his mother's bloodline, which allows him to eat normal food to sustain his life.

But his father's bloodline made him unable to taste any of these foods.

Fortunately, Fei Ya has been eating this tasteless food for over ten years.

I don't feel uncomfortable at all.

As Fei Ya ate, she opened the window and looked out at the sea covered by the blood moon.

"Huh? That's... the Black Swan?"

"Captain Shane, you still haven't listened to my advice?"

Fei Ya sighed, not surprised at all.

After all, we've only met a few times, so we can't expect the other party to trust us unconditionally. "However, if we're lucky, we might meet again in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]."

"Om-"

At that moment, the steam-powered mechanical arm named Millie emitted a buzzing sound, as if asking a question in confusion.

"Huh? You're asking me why I eat these things even though I know they taste bad?"

"Silly child, of course it's because I don't want to drink other people's blood."

"Buzz...buzz..."

Not only Millie, but all the steam devices in the room emitted a puzzled hum.

"what?"

Why not join them in their corrupt practices?

"You guys have asked a lot of questions today!"

"The reason is..."

Phia swallowed the last bite of bread, slung a box full of steam generators over her shoulder, and then climbed onto the windowsill.

Looking at the crimson blood moon on the sea, the boy's lips curled into a wanton smile.

"Damn it, I'll choose my own path!"

next moment.

The full moon shattered, and waves of silver and blood rippled outwards.

……

……

Wow!

The largest and most luxurious cabin on the Viper.

Listening to the sound of water coming from the side of the ship, "Viper" Quinn's face remained expressionless.

He was tall and slender, dressed in a well-fitting black suit.

His pale face was bloodless, and his pupils were a beautiful deep red. He looked to be no more than twenty years old, with a handsome appearance completely different from Fei Ya.

It even gives people a sense of harmless fragility.

When a normal person sees him for the first time, they would probably find it hard to associate him with such a cold and vicious nickname as "Viper".

However, behind him, both the butler and the maids bowed their heads with utmost respect.

His taut body and meticulous expression revealed a fear and submission hidden deep in his blood.

Inside the room, several high-ranking and distinguished vampires were enjoying the "fine wine" in their glasses.

It looked like a small banquet was being held.

The main course was a young girl still breathing on the table.

"grown ups……"

A short while later, the silver-haired, black-eyed butler entered and bowed to report.

"Young Master has entered the [Blood Moon Secret Realm]."

"Well, I see."

Quinn picked up the glass of crimson liquid beside him, took a small sip, and showed a somewhat enjoyable expression.

The silver-haired butler paused for a moment, but continued, "Some time ago, it seems that the young master had been exchanging letters with people from the Federation."

"I wonder... if this will affect the adults' plans?"

Upon hearing this, a figure standing not far from the room, wearing a brass mask and covered from head to toe in a gray robe, spoke in a low voice.

"Quinn, you should really start disciplining your offspring."

"If he ruins this hunt and incurs the chieftain's displeasure, let's see how you handle the consequences."

As an elder of the clan, his tone carried a subtle air of condescension and reproach.

"Don't forget, what made you able to hold onto your position as consul?"

Quinn simply chuckled gracefully in response.

"Children are ignorant and it's perfectly normal for them to do things they think are right."

Who hasn't been young?

The gray-robed man sneered, "Heh, if I were you, I wouldn't leave behind such a rebellious offspring."

"Are there any females on the island who don't want to mate with you?"

"With enough time, one can always raise one or two satisfactory offspring."

"No, you don't understand."

Quinn shook his head, a strange light flashing in his blood-red eyes, his tone tinged with fanaticism.

“Feia is different.”

"He is closer to the Crimson Lord than I am, than you are...!"

"But before that, I will completely destroy his faith and convictions, and make him willingly submit to the embrace of the Crimson Lord."

"This [Blood Moon Night] is undoubtedly the best opportunity."

Sensing the chilling undertones in those words, the gray-robed man felt a coldness creep down his spine.

He said it with nothing but sarcasm.

"No wonder you're a man who personally cut off one of his own offspring's arms and legs. So, what do you plan to do with those people in the Federation?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Quinn's eyes: "They will soon realize that everything they have done has been in vain."

"Since you've come all this way, then stay forever and become our food."

Having said that, he raised the wine glass in his hand and spoke towards the blood moon on the sea.

"A toast to the Crimson Lord."

Seeing this, the other vampires in the cabin also raised their blood-filled glasses and chanted in unison.

"A toast to the Crimson Lord!"

……

……

A blink of an eye.

It was already the next night.

The blood moon appeared on the sea as expected.

Shaun put on the ring called "Dark Crimson" and sat in the captain's cabin, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Yesterday, because he used the Radiant Amulet, he was forcibly expelled by the Crimson Lord.

It wasted a lot of the ship's soul power, and it wasn't satisfying at all.

Thinking of what the vampires did in the Blood Moon Secret Realm, Xia En felt disgusted. He just couldn't feel better without killing one or two of them.

The moment the words "Deep Sea Diving" lit up, he closed his eyes and murmured to himself.

"Let's hunt to our hearts' content tonight!"

Thank you so much to "好困泪泪酱" for the 500 coins! Thank you so much!
