When the light of dawn did not completely illuminate the sea in the sky, Zidi and his party had already boarded the deep sea monster fish.
Instead of returning to Jiandao Town, they unloaded supplies directly on the way, took a small boat and left the coast.
The seal was lying in the secret place of the hillside, helplessly watching the boat leave.
With the help of the small boat and the toad safe, a space storage equipment, they sent a large number of materials underwater to the deep sea monster fish.
Toad safe is a high-end alchemical item obtained from the secret room under the sea.
It originally belonged to the necromancer and blasphemous priest ship ghost, but it was successfully opened after the righteous Pirate Group deceived them with pearl foam. Not only were the original treasures hollowed out, but the righteous Pirate Group also changed the ownership setting of the toad safe after the event, which was truly used for its own use.
The toad safe is very heavy, and its shape is like a toad. It is more than half a person tall, so it is not convenient to carry.
It can also play a role in the transportation link.
Zidi is very cautious.
Although they repelled the local forces, they inevitably had a tail to follow.
Until the delivery of supplies at sea, with the help of the deep-sea monster fish's powerful investigative means, we tried our best to eliminate surveillance.
Back in the cabin arranged for her, Zidi couldn't help yawning.
She is a little depressed.
After all, before fighting in the middle of the night, she instantly sent more than a dozen spells, making the ambush dizzy and unable to maintain the offensive.
After repelling the incoming enemy, Zidi didn't relax at all. She was always in a tight spirit and always vigilant.
Now back in the cabin, as soon as she relaxed, she immediately felt strong fatigue and sleepiness.
But she didn't fall asleep, and still insisted on meditation to restore her magic power.
She knows how to work hard and is very disciplined.
This is a good habit she formed when she lived on her own after falling out with her father - no matter how tired she was, she tried to keep her combat power at a certain level.
The meditation lasted for a moment, and the voice of cangxu sounded outside the cabin door: "miss Zidi, I have something important to ask you for advice."
Zidi opened the hatch and saw the old scholar.
The old scholar did not rest overnight, and conducted more than a dozen experiments in a row, but thanks to his body being transformed by the necromancy, he was still energetic.
"My blasphemous priest has encountered some problems in training. I hope to consult with you about my experience and knowledge in this regard." Cang must come straight to the point.
Zidi herself is only a novice apprentice of the dead who masters the soul devouring technique, but she devoured the soul of the ship ghost.
Cang must ask for advice, more accurately, it should be a ship ghost.
Zidi's face suddenly became dignified, and cultivating a blasphemous priest, striving for divine power is one of the keys to solve the current dilemma, which can't be lost.
"I will try my best to help you, but although I devoured the soul of the ship ghost, I may not have what you want."
"Soul devouring has many disadvantages. Even if soul devouring is successful, there is no way to obtain all the memories of the target soul."
"Coupled with the terrible state of the ship ghost at that time, his memory is broken."
"I will sort out his memory as soon as possible, and I also need your help for this."
"Oh?" Cang Xu was slightly stunned. "Please don't hesitate to tell me, miss Zidi."
"I need you to refine a soul gem." Zidi said slowly.
"One of the disadvantages of soul devouring is that devouring the external soul will make your own soul bloated and produce impurities."
"I want to eliminate these impurities. These are fragments of the soul of the ship ghost, which my soul cannot digest and absorb."
"There will also be some memories in these fragments. If we don't transfer the soul fragments to the soul gem, and I directly eliminate them, we can't get these memories."
Cang Xu frowned: "I've heard of this kind of alchemy for a long time. It really needs necromancy to refine. However, I don't know the refining method of soul gem."
Zidi smiled: "do you remember the badge of the ship ghost? The refining method of the soul gem is hidden in that badge. You can know it by instilling the necromancy magic and spying with the spirit."
"As for specific alchemical materials, we all have them."
"I see." Cang Xu didn't expect that he had an unexpected harvest, so he left immediately and immediately began to prepare for refining.
Zi Di watched Cang Xu leave and was about to close the door. Fat tongue came running with a plate. "Mr. chairman, I prepared breakfast for you."
Zidi felt hungry when she smelled the aroma of breakfast.
She welcomed fat tongue into the cabin and tasted the breakfast.
"It tastes good. Did you cook it?" Zidi was a little surprised.
Fat tongue hehe said with a smile, "president, during your sleepy time, I and I are all chefs of the righteous Pirate Group."
"It's really hard for you." Zidi nodded.
"President, since you have awakened, then Wisteria chamber of Commerce..." fat tongue opened and hesitated.
Zidi shook her head: "now is not the time. If I reveal my identity now, it will affect the chamber of Commerce. I have been in charge of the chamber of Commerce for a short time. Without me, the wisteria chamber of commerce can still operate. In a short time, there will be no big problems."
"Adult, it's good if you have an idea in your heart." Fat tongue laughed happily.
These days, he is very happy.
Zidi's awakening was beyond his expectation, completely unexpected.
As soon as fat tongue came back from Zidi, he saw the fish man boy eating in the restaurant.
He just came back. Cultivating morale made him hungry.
Unlike Zidi, he eats fresh live fish.
He didn't even scratch the scales, but directly used shark like sharp teeth to constantly chew and tear.
He swallowed the whole fish in two bites, even the viscera.
Humans can't eat like this, but it's perfect for fish people.
Next to the fish man boy, there is a big man.
In the big man's dinner plate, there are not any vegetables, melons and fruits, but a large basin of black mud.
The big man dug out the mud with a huge wooden spoon, put it into his mouth and swallowed it constantly.
Sometimes after eating, he also looked at the fish boy, showing a silly smile.
The fish man's cheeks bulged, and there were fish in them. He reached out and patted the big man on the arm, and smiled at the big man.
Father and son ate happily.
At the same time, needle City, in the south of the Empire.
In the castle of needle city.
The exquisite breakfast was placed on the desk, but the Baizhen patriarch had no appetite at all.
The middle-aged man with a broken arm was thinner than ever, pale, with deep bags under his eyes, showing a tired look.
At the thought that his son was still missing, Baizhen patriarch couldn't eat.
As once a great aristocrat in the south, today's hundred needle family has lost its glory. They surrendered to Emperor Shengming and managed to retain their blood heritage.
But with the disappearance of needle gold, the situation of the hundred needle family turned sharply downward.
This is because the needle gold is the only heir of the hundred needle family appointed by the emperor, and cannot be changed for any reason.
Once the needle gold falls, the hundred needle family will have no successors.
Nobility without heirs has no future.
As a result, the hundred needle family was strongly attacked and excluded by various forces. These aristocrats or large forces, like the bloody smell smelled by hyenas, wanted to make a big profit from the falling body of the hundred needle family.
"Dong Dong Dong." Outside the door came a calm male voice, "my Lord, arm tile, please see me."
"Come in." The hundred needle patriarch spoke.
The door opened and came into a tall, middle-aged man with strong arms.
His name is jibwa, and he is the most trusted right-hand man of the hundred needle patriarch.
"Have you inquired about the needle gold?" Hundred needle patriarch asked.
Arm tile shakes his head.
Since the disappearance of needle gold, the hundred needle family has gone all out to search for it, almost running out of property. Unfortunately, I didn't get any valuable clues.
Arm tile is the person in charge of the hundred needle clan leader who personally confirmed his life and searched for needle gold.
"My Lord, I came here this time to hear the news. Are you going to sell the cultivation method of fast bee mount?" Arm tile is straightforward.
The hundred needle clan sighed and glanced at the wall of the study.
Not long ago, several famous paintings were hung on the wall.
But in order to raise money, these famous paintings have been sold.
The hundred needle family has become destitute, and even the last bit of dignity of the aristocracy can't be maintained.
Seeing the expression of the hundred needle patriarch, the arm tile knew the answer.
He hurriedly advised, "my Lord, the fast bee mount is one of the foundations of our hundred needle family, and must not be sold. If I need money, I am willing to contribute my manor and land!"
Hundred needle patriarch smiled wryly: "arm tile, my most loyal knight, I thank you very much for your kindness. But this thing is not so simple."
"I sell this method, not only to raise money, but also for another reason, that is, I have to sell!"
"Today's hundred needle family has no strength to keep this precious thing. If they cling to it, I'm afraid it will cause a rougher blow, or even robbery."
"Why?" Arm bush shocked.
The hundred needle patriarch shook his head and said nothing.
Within the Shengming Empire, there are many forces of the hundred needle family. Before, when Zhen Jin was still talking, he was a member of the Knights Templar.
This is a strong connection between the hundred needle family and Emperor Shengming.
However, if the needle gold is missing, the relationship will be broken.
The hundred needle family is already in turmoil.
Arm tile was silent and clenched his fists.
In the study, the atmosphere was very depressing.
At this time, the housekeeper knocked open the door and shouted excitedly, "my Lord, my Lord, there is news from the young master."
"What?"
The housekeeper panted: "just now, we got a blackmail letter, which said that a pirate captured master Zijin and his fiancee miss Zidi, asking us to pay a ransom."
"It can't be a liar." The arm bush has no moving capacity.
During this period of time, because of the hundred needle family's full search and rescue, who knows this matter. Therefore, many fraud and extortion incidents have occurred.
"No, it's different this time." The housekeeper shook his head. "There is a special mark on the letter, and the content of the letter is encrypted. We must use our password book to decode it!"
"What!"
Bang.
The hundred needle patriarch suddenly stood up and his seat fell on the floor tile.
