Chapter 552 Blood Treasure
"Hey, you heard that Bitter Water Town was wiped out, and even Baron Mies didn't run away."
On the open ground, merchants exchanged goods, and also exchanged some true or false information. Of course, there were more anecdotes.
"Old Jack, your news is false. It was not humans who destroyed Bitter Water Town, but demons."
Another rich voice sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"You mean those monsters with small tails, wings, the ability to fly, and a pair of sharp horns?"
"Ah, are you talking about the kind of demon that likes to eat people and can breathe fire?"
When the word demon was mentioned, everyone suddenly became excited. For ordinary people like them, these demons who obviously had extraordinary power were like creatures from myths and legends, which made them instinctively curious.
As merchants, their sensitivity to news is far greater than that of ordinary people. Many of them have heard scattered rumors about demons, but in the past they only regarded them as rumors. But at this moment, after they gathered together and talked, they suddenly discovered that the frequency of the demons who were originally only regarded as rumors seemed to be too dense during this period, not only the frequency but also the region. This was obviously a little bit... unusual.
"You said the devil doesn't really exist, right?"
"Do you think the devil is going to fight us?"
At a certain moment, someone made such a conjecture.
Upon hearing this, many merchants who were talking suddenly fell silent.
"The Black Sand Chamber of Commerce is hoarding food on a large scale during this time."
"The Camel Bell Chamber of Commerce is also stocking up on food."
When I think of a certain possibility, some signs that are not very special suddenly become particularly dazzling, and after putting these messages together, a thick shadow has shrouded everyone's hearts.
"How can I sell this thing?"
While many merchants were thinking about what to do next, Sean, who had finished a simple meal and heard a lot of interesting news, came over.
Hearing this, Old Jack looked a little impatient and felt a little annoyed when he saw Sean standing in front of his stall.
"50 green clams.
"
Clean and tidy, there is no room for bargaining. In fact, at this moment, Old Jack has no intention of doing business. When he said this, he had actually given up on this small business delivered to his door.
"Okay, I want it."
After hearing Old Jack's words and playing with the stone the size of a baby's fist in his hand, Sean nodded and agreed, just like Old Jack's quotation, just as clean and neat.
Taking a money bag from the entourage, Sean paid the money neatly, then turned and left the temporary trading place.
Feeling the heavy money bag in his hand and watching Sean's leaving figure, Old Jack was stunned. He suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart and wanted to call out Sean, but he didn't know what to say.
Ignoring Old Jack's complicated mood, Sean returned to his caravan's camp with the stone ball. By this time, the sky had darkened and the tent had been set up.
After walking into the largest tent and asking no one to disturb him, Sean carefully looked at the stone ball in his hand under the dim light of the oil lamp.
The stone ball is heavy, about the size of a baby's fist, round and off-white in color, with some strange patterns engraved on it. It is obviously different from the popular style now, and this is where its value lies. Whether it is true or false, it can be viewed by the outside world. It is said to be a rare antique from a forgotten era.
Of course, Sean knew very well that this stone ball was indeed a real antique, and it was also a rare and extraordinary item.
The current layout of the Yellow Sand World is that seven countries stand side by side, and nobles rule the world. But before that, the Yellow Sand World was ruled by two churches. They were the Flame Church that believed in the God of Fire Griffindor and the God of Purified Water. The Purifying Church of Sihelal, and the reason why they can control the world, in addition to the power of faith, is also because they possess the "artifacts" given by the gods.
"The artifact of the past, the blood treasure of the present."
Cutting his fingertips, Sean smeared his own blood on the stone ball. Nourished by Sean's blood, the ordinary stone ball immediately bloomed with a hazy red light. At the same time, the tent The temperature inside began to rise rapidly, sweeping away the cold.
Boom, thoughts were turning, and a red flame appeared in Sean's hand.
The shape changes, sometimes turning into a poisonous snake, sometimes turning into a bird, the red flames constantly changing shapes according to Sean's mind, and this is not the witchcraft performed by Sean, but the ability given to Sean by the stone ball.
"It's a very interesting little thing. The treasure made by using extraordinary blood sacrifice is roughly equivalent to a third-level rare item. Ordinary people can also use it, but the cost is not small."
After playing with it for a while, Sean had figured out the true principle of the blood treasure in his hand. Not only could he control it freely, but he was even confident of creating a new blood treasure.
The so-called blood treasure actually uses extraordinary blood to impregnate other artifacts, allowing these artifacts to inherit the extraordinary essence of the extraordinary blood and produce various strange powers.
Theoretically speaking, it is not difficult to make blood treasures. The only troublesome thing is how to integrate the extraordinary blood into the artifacts. Sean doesn't know what methods the church in the past and the nobles now use, but in his opinion, using life design The principle of the diagram makes it entirely possible to achieve this goal, just like making a dead thing eat a devil fruit.
"No wonder the nobles would kill the two major churches after they rose."
After understanding the nature of the blood treasure, Sean also understood why the nobles in this world had completely wiped out the church forces.
The knowledge blockade in this world is far more terrifying than the liberal world, whether it is history or extraordinary knowledge. Sean also sneaked into the mansion of a viscount and learned some things that ordinary people didn't know.
Through those clues and the nature of the current blood treasure, Sean can roughly deduce the missing part of history.
In the history of the Yellow Sand World, this world was jointly opened up by Griffindor, the God of Fire, and Sihelal, the God of Purity. Later, these two gods clashed and started a life-and-death battle, and the ocean followed. After the war dried up, the mountain peaks collapsed, and the entire land turned into a desert. After the war, the nobles were born with the blood of the gods and herded all living beings for the two gods. This continues to this day, and the church in the middle process was completely wiped out. traces.
Judging from the method of making blood treasures or artifacts, it is not difficult for Sean to deduce that in the era when the church ruled the world, the current nobles were probably a shady existence that everyone wanted to beat, because they themselves were the ones who made blood treasures for the church. Treasure material.
The church mastered the method of making blood treasures, and then they used the blood treasures to continuously hunt down the nobles who had awakened their bloodline, and tied them to the gallows, becoming sinners who should not live in the world.
Of course, the reason why such a situation occurred is probably because there were not very powerful beings among the nobles at that time. In addition, it may also be because the church has mastered some particularly powerful power, such as blood treasures, so The nobles at that time were unable to resist.
"With this thing, it will be a lot easier to do things in the future. Let's call you Eyes of Flame."
Playing with the warm stone ball in his hand, Sean gave it a name.
