Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 289

Brome Castle.

woohoo-

The giant steel beast named [Dragon Bone] docked above the ruined castle, and its huge body made a low mechanical sound.The giant beast's steel armor reflected the light of the sun, shining with metallic luster. The powerful mechanical components and gears were running in its body, making firm and orderly sounds, like a precise piece of music.

From the porthole of the ship, the complex mechanical activities inside can be seen. The steam pump ejects steam, which permeates the surrounding air, accompanied by hissing sound, like the breath of a giant beast.

The eyes of the steel behemoth shone with a cold red light, staring at the ground below.

"This is!?"

On the deck of the ship, Zhou Zhou stood on the guardrail, looking at the ruins under the ship with an incredulous expression.

The once magnificent castle has now been completely razed to the ground, leaving only ruins.The ancient stones were scattered on the ground, like a huge jigsaw puzzle that was disrupted and no longer complete; the walls were tilted, the corners collapsed, the spire had disappeared, and only incomplete traces remained there.

Weeds and weeds grew in the gaps between the stone bricks. They swayed gently in the wind, as if telling the decay of the castle.

There is no vitality here, no sound of people's activities, only the low and sad sound of the wind passing through the stone pillars of the ruins, bringing a trace of desolate sadness.The sun shines through the broken windows and shines on the ground, reflecting a hazy light and shadow, giving the whole ruins a sense of desolation.

In the ruins, a bloodied man was slowly walking towards the ship, and Xia Xiu, who was manipulating the ship at this time, also opened the teleportation circle to lead him to the ship.

Accompanied by a burst of light that was not too dazzling, the berserker who had experienced a bloody battle walked silently in front of the ship.

At this time, Valdarson Broly's face was stained with bright red blood, and scars intertwined on his face to form a poignant picture scroll. His left hand was still dripping blood, and his eyes were full of fear. With the head of a crazy vampire, on the shoulders is a bumpy but headless female corpse.

"This is what you want."

Broly casually threw Albert's head on the deck, and the vampire head naturally rolled down in front of the blond young man, and he stretched out his feet and stepped on the head with ease.

"You... you damn human! Get your feet off my head!!!"

Albert is different from Nosferatu who was completely autistic by [Sulter]. The other party was tortured by the terrifying thaumaturgy and repeated fire tortures to the point of losing consciousness, while Albert was simply swayed by Burrow. Lee was blown away.

They are the holders of [Vampire Armed Forces], and their immortality allows them to survive even with only one head left. As long as they are willing to burn their core blood energy, it is a trivial matter to be reborn instantly after a severed head.

However, Albert and Nosferatu were almost autistic after being beaten by Xia Xiu and others. The core blood energy in their bodies was burned and burned. Torredo Alenania, who has the core blood energy, is infected with the sensory distortion memu element emitted by [Beowulf's oath], so her consciousness and spirituality are in a state of slowing down by 2 times at the moment.

Alena's head had actually grown several times before Xia Xiu and the others came, but they were all directly crushed by [Master Incarnation Beowulf] behind Broly.

Facing the clamor of Albert under his feet, Xia Xiu didn't care. Various data templates and parameter information were rapidly flowing in his eyes at this time. During the radar detection of the ship, several of them emitted large ARad fields. The red dots are rapidly approaching him, these are probably the [combat team] units purchased by the [Secret League], and the other densely packed red dots, needless to say, are the blood that is quickly gathering here. ethnic troops.

The armed system of the Daeva Empire is a synthetic mobile force, that is, [combat team/tactical group], which are generally in a state of high combat readiness.

A [tactical group] is composed of a mechanized body battalion, equipped with air defense, artillery, engineering and logistics support units, and usually includes two specific arms, fire suppression and mobile decapitation. Generally, a [combat group] is thirty Up to sixty airframes, every three airframes is a team.

The Daeva Empire currently has one hundred [combat teams] in the [proxy war].

One thing to note is that the war machines of the Daeva Empire are very expensive. The regular type [Short Sword I] needs to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance fees every year, and the equipment of weapons is not to mention. up.

In modern Terra thaumaturgical wars, few thaumaturges other than the Angels of Heaven would dare to move in and out of the Daeva's mechanical torrents.

The [Secret League] spent a lot of money to buy a complete [combat team] from the Daeva Empire to enrich its military capabilities. In fact, many hubs along the coast, especially the areas where foreign races live, they secretly More or less, they retain a large number of military warfare capabilities—some are destructive thaumaturgy equipment and distorted items; some are the summoning support of evil gods and surviving gods; , Disturbing ether type thaumaturgy...
At the hub, the wind and waves are very strong, and the general forces can't control it at all. If it weren't for the fear of the current Terra kingdoms and the deep fear of the heavens, these alien races would have raised their arms, and the group counterattacked back to the main world of Terra.

At this moment, facing the approaching enemy, Xia Xiu on the ship has already adjusted the parameter position of [Phase Shuttle].

"Everyone, our trip to Reykjavik is over." Xia Xiu said to everyone present like a tour guide.

"Finally we can leave the territory of vampires. To be honest, the prince of the [Secret League] inner circle absolutely hates us for making [Smoke-free City] look like this. He will definitely offer us a high price on the dark web. Yes." Tours sat on the deck with his feet crossed, and said speechlessly to the smiling golden retriever in front of him.

"What is the dark net?" Zhou Zhou asked his own question in a timely manner.

For Zhou Zhou, the world is always novel. Maybe give him a good game, and he can play it tirelessly for a lifetime, because he will always maintain his amazement and love for this game.

When Zhou Zhou asked this question, Broly also faced the fox-eared child who looked like a child in front of him but had a lot of knowledge.

Zhou Zhou and Broly's eyes were full of curiosity, which made Tours feel like going back to the past. He used to be a university professor for a while, and that was the most comfortable time he spent. He especially liked the students A pair of eyes full of knowledge and curiosity, so when the two of them looked at him with such knowledge-seeking eyes at this moment, his old pedantic habit came up again.

"Ahem——" Tours clenched his fist with his right hand to his lips and coughed to moisten his throat.

“[Ocean of Ether] is the extraordinary source of huge anomalies. Most thaumaturges obtain the power to distort the real world by observing it. The genealogy of modern Terra is the most top-level observation in thaumatology at this stage. Technology, genealogy is a huge network connecting people from different parts of the world, which helps various thaumaturges construct convenient, efficient and rational ways of observing.

At the same time, the high-level genealogy does not actually make the thaumaturgy dependent, [termization] is the root of getting rid of the dependence, even if the genealogy network is blocked, the combat effectiveness of the members of each genealogy will not be affected too much— —The essence of the pedigree still allows thaumaturges to more easily visit every corner of [Ocean of Ether] or deepen their own thaumatology theory.

However, not every thaumaturge has access to all parts of the [Aether Ocean] through the genealogy. A part of [Ocean of Ether] is hidden from conventional search engines. Of course, this kind of hiding is not because it is so powerful or special.It is hidden purely because it often operates on privately constructed lineage networks and only allows communication through specific means.

This achieves a high degree of invisibility, which means that it has countless roots, and there are more than 200 famous dark nets, which makes the dark net a hotbed of many illegal or immoral activities-drug dealing, arms smuggling, evil In addition to the rampant religious criminal groups, there are also some rare files, documents, and high-quality and dangerous supernatural knowledge that are mostly silent in this deep sea. "

Speaking of this, the old pedant Tours couldn't help thinking of the first time he came into contact with this kind of dark side. To be honest, it was easier to get in touch with the dark net than the heterogeneous pedigree.

His first contact was because he needed to use a cryptocurrency, which was related to the [Financial Storm] and [Ether Tide] caused by the Edison Federation [Financial Street] at that time.

Now Terra countries have to admit that when [Financial Street] manifests in Terra, it will bring many opportunities and crises. Once [Financial Street] fails, it will host many If the current stock market crashes or the bond market crashes, then he will not only fluctuate to the secular market, but also trigger the global financial crisis, which will have a huge impact on ordinary people.

Its collapse will inevitably cause panic among many extraordinary people.

This kind of panic is the panic of being threatened by the origin of spirituality. It is not just a psychological problem, but the panic caused by a large number of thaumaturges observing [Ocean of Ether] will inevitably distort [Ocean of Ether] and will inevitably produce many strange things The meme virus is bound to deform the fragile thaumaturgy...
And the huge observation effect, the EVE particle riots of a large number of thaumaturgists and the collapse of the ARad field will inevitably set off a huge tide in the [Ether Ocean], which will lead to large-scale natural disasters appearing on Terra.

[Financial Street] binds the entire Terra. If it dies, Terra's creatures will die with it, not only humans, but also other races.

The emergence of cryptocurrency itself is the distrust of Eddie West Federation, the root of [Financial Street], and many thaumaturgists actually don’t want to be controlled by [financial card] and monitored by [wind review agency]. Some people believe that Cryptocurrencies have the potential to store value and protect against inflation.

Tours first came into contact with the dark web because it can run some permissions of [Financial Street] without using a [financial card].

And for the sake of scarcity, the total amount of cryptocurrencies is set at 2100 million, no more, no less; new cryptocurrencies can only be obtained by solving complex problems to verify and add transactions to the blockchain.

What is interesting is that the Edisi Federation recognizes cryptocurrency as a legal form of currency in circulation, and has regulated and supervised it at the taxation and regulatory levels.The Adisi Federation treats cryptocurrency as an asset rather than a currency, taxes it, requires transaction reporting, and, well, mostly taxes.

"The guys on the dark net dare to hang up anyone. I remember that many angels have been hung up. By the way, Abraham, do you know the recent exchange rate of cryptocurrencies to Western dollars?" Tours looked up. The blond-haired young man on the side, since he got sick, he seldom logged on to his genealogy network, and he has been living in A3 all the time, so he didn't ask much information from outside.

"This year's market price, 1 coin: 25030 Western dollars."

Xia Xiu, who was adjusting the warp parameters, replied directly without raising his head. He has been paying attention to the movement of the Edison Federation. [Financial Street] This complicated financial machine has killed the entire Terran creature. The potential is included, it is impossible not to care about it.

"Tsk, this thing is really crazy." Tours couldn't help but smacked his tongue. At that time, one coin was only more than 2000 sid, and now it has more than ten times the value.

"And it's expected to be even crazier later. The scarcity alone makes cryptocurrency an incredible holding asset. Its existence is undisputed. The next halving, which is when the cryptocurrency is granted. When volumes are cut in half, this is likely to trigger a massive price surge."

The blond young man raised his head, and his golden eyes with various parameters stared at Tours.

"The market value of cryptocurrencies has exceeded 1 trillion WD, which is a terrible amount, which represents many invisible hands behind it; while its value is still climbing, if it is really cut in half, it may create crazily A huge price increase, some bold economists even said bluntly: If this trend follows, it will reach 1 coin: 100 million wickets.”

"Crazy, how can something this highly speculative and overrated..."

Tours couldn't help but said:

“In the event of this happening, its popularity and market acceptance may be limited. The high price may make it difficult for ordinary users to purchase and use it, while more institutional investors and wealthy individuals may be more likely to participate into this market; the advent of cryptocurrency, itself a means of circumventing the [financial card] restrictions, would itself become a high-priced thaumaturgy item if it did.”

"If you are interested in this thing, our next stop destination just happens to have this collection."

The blond young man rubbed his chin and said to Tours.

"What's our next stop?" Tours asked curiously.

"Our next destination is..."

boom -

Before the blond-haired youth finished speaking, there was a huge roar of the machine in the distance, and a red machine was quickly approaching here, and at this time the parameter adjustment of the ship had also been completed.

【Start to warp—】

A strong energy field surrounds the ship like a transparent barrier.As the hum of the engine grew louder, the energy field began to twist and shift, emitting blue arcs and light.The ship seemed to be accumulating strength, like a wild beast ready to take a leap.

Suddenly, a bright white light flashed on the periphery of the ship, and with a loud noise, the ship seemed to be suddenly pushed by an invisible force.Space warps, time seems to be pulled, and the ship disappears in a bright flash.
