Chapter 331 The Cause of the Great Flood! The Past of the Fire King!

"Retreat?"

Xia En glanced at Fei Ya in surprise.

This seems to be the first time Feiya has made such a request.

"If you are worried about the threat posed by this mark, there may be other ways to solve it..."

"Mueller's imprint is indeed an important reason."

"I don't want to burden you Captain Shane."

Feiya nodded calmly and continued: "But more importantly, I found a way to communicate with [River of Blood] in Richard's relics."

"I have a hunch that if I can successfully communicate with the [River of Blood], my strength will be greatly improved."

"I can even remove the mark left by Mueller on my own."

Hearing this, Xia En looked thoughtful.

Although many of these vampire relics are contaminated with filth and curses.

But this is after all the accumulation of three sixth-level blood clans over many years, and it comes from the same source as the blood power that Fei Ya masters.

——It’s like athletes of the same type suddenly receive teachings and guidance from their seniors.

After Feiya digests, understands, and masters them all, she will definitely benefit greatly from them.

However, this process is obviously not that short-lived.

This is what Feiya means by "retreat".

Xia En looked at this boy who was prettier than a girl seriously for a while, and saw determination in his eyes.

From this, I understood that Feiya was not acting impulsively or on a whim, but had truly made up her mind.

Obviously.

After facing Mueller's attack, it was not only Xia En who was stimulated, but also Fei Ya, whose life was hanging by a thread!

He was just a hair away from dying under Mueller's attack.

He didn't even have the ability to resist at all.

And that was just a drop of Mueller's blood.

After going through hell, Fei Ya's Buddhist mentality finally changed.

Although Fei Ya originally had a need for strength, more importantly, she still had a mentality of letting nature take its course.

Anyway, in Captain Shane, there are not many occasions where he is required to fight.

He can then study the doctrines of the Church of Steam and various steam devices with peace of mind, and become a priest and mechanic who is indifferent to the world.

But now, the vampires' repeated pursuits made Fei Ya wake up.

There are always some people in this world who don't want him to live a peaceful life.

In this case, the only option is to kill!

Therefore, a strong desire for power arose in Feiya's heart.

"I see."

After confirming Fei Ya's intention, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him: "I will ask Sha Jingjing to prepare a safe place for you. If you have any needs, you can explain them to the [Yongyue Clan] in a timely manner."

"For the next period of time, you can practice peacefully in the [Rhine Secret Realm]."

"OK."

Feiya paused for a moment and continued: "Mr. Captain, this journey to the [Far North] is bound to be very dangerous."

"Please be sure to pay attention to your safety."

"And, at some point, you can also rely a little more on the other crew members."

Shane nodded: "I will."

Soon, after sending Fei Ya away, Xia En summoned siblings Jane and Daisy to exchange and share information with each other.

As members of the Federation Navy, the Daisy siblings may know some information that they do not know.

Not long after, Daisy and Alessio arrived on the deck of the [Black Swan].

To be honest, this is the first time the two of them have boarded the Black Swan.

After stepping onto the deck, Daisy couldn't help but look around on the [Black Swan], with bursts of brilliance flashing in her eyes.

She didn't think there was anything unusual about it on her own ship before, but after actually boarding the Black Swan, Daisy became more aware of how unusual this ship was.

The ship's decks, walls, sails, masts... all have a sense of unity, as if they should be there.

Unlike some ships, it has an obvious splicing texture.

Not only that, but the materials that make up the hull also opened the eyes of both Daisy and Daisy.

This seems to be a new type of composite material, and Daisy can only recognize that it seems to contain ingredients such as [rhinestone], [mithril], and [dark gold].

Normally, the properties of these materials are already very stable, and forcibly merging them together will reduce their original efficacy.

But on the [Black Swan], their integration can only be described as perfect.

Not only does it take into account hardness and density, but it also fully inherits the best characteristics of various materials.

"Probably, it is because of this technology that [Black Swan] can show such extraordinary performance, right?"

Recalling the scene where a ship called the Black Swan charged at the Vampire warships, Daisy was still a little overwhelmed.

Even the look he looked at Xia En became more and more intense.

Alessio beside her noticed that during the collision with the "Dark Red Baron" two days ago, several cracks clearly appeared in the hull of the "Black Swan".

But today, when I look at it, all these cracks have disappeared, as if they had never appeared.

"Is this [Black Swan]... really alive?"

Alessio had also heard rumors of active ships and immediately connected the two.

When his footsteps landed on the [Black Swan], he was a little cautious, as if he was worried about disturbing the soul of the ship.

It’s hard to imagine that when we first met, Alessio still looked like a cold and handsome man.

Xia En saw the expressions and behaviors of the two people, but didn't say much.

Rather, Xia En's willingness to invite them to the Black Swan was a sign of trust.

In the "desperate situation" where they were surrounded before, Daisy and her brother were still willing to fight side by side with him.

This alone was enough for Xia En to treat the two of them with a closer attitude.

It didn't take long.

Shane took Daisy and Jane to the captain's cabin and informed them of the information in the previous secret letter.

After listening, Daisy touched her smooth chin and said, "This is similar to the military information we got."

"However, the federal navy seems to have conducted a more detailed investigation. They also discovered..."

“The ice in [the Far North] is actually rising as a whole.”

Xia En raised his eyebrows: "Overall improvement?"

"What's the meaning?"

Daisy explained: "You can understand that there seems to be an invisible force underneath the ice pushing it upward."

"It is precisely for this reason that the relics of the [Great Yan Kingdom] that were originally buried in the ice will gradually come to light."

After hearing this, Xia En's expression changed slightly.

"The ice is rising...could it be sea level rising?"

Before coming to the [Cold Sea], Xia En had guessed what form the so-called "world-destroying flood" would take.

But now, a bold conjecture emerged in his mind.

Perhaps, the truth behind this world-destroying flood is that after the ice in the Far North melted, sea levels rose again, completely submerging the few islands in the world.

Even if the sea level rises only one meter, it will have an impact on the ecology of the world. And if it rises by 5 or 10 meters, countless people will be displaced and their original homes will be completely submerged.

However, this guess seems to be contrary to the cooling environment of the [Cold Sea]?

Xia En thought to himself: "No... not necessarily..."

According to the law of conservation of energy, the temperature on the surface of the [Cold Sea] is decreasing, which may mean that the heat has been transferred to other places.

Moreover, the secret power of this world can do many things that go against common sense.

Maybe there is some kind of force melting the ice below?

Thinking of this, Xia En simply told Daisy and others his guess.

"Melting glaciers... rising sea levels..."

After hearing this, Daisy said: "To be honest, this possibility was also mentioned in the telegram sent by the Federal Navy today."

"It's just that no one knows yet why the ice is rising."

"In the final analysis, the cause of these two major floods is still a mystery."

Just then.

Alessio on the side asked: "Is it related to the salary king?"

"Salary King?"

Not only Xia En, but Jane also frowned slightly and asked in surprise.

"Why are you mentioning him suddenly?"

"Oh, by the way, you don't know yet..."

Alessio explained: "Actually, the telegram also provided important information——"

"The legendary King Xin seems to have reappeared in [Leng Lie Sea]!"

"hiss……"

Jane, who had always been calm and collected, couldn't help but take a deep breath: "How is this possible?"

Alessio looked at Shane with a slightly expectant look, as if he wanted to see a look of surprise on his face.

It's a pity that Alessio is destined to be disappointed.

Because Xia En knew about this from the beginning.

After leaving the [Black Swan], Yan Yan's goal was [the Far North].

And with the popularity of the name "King Xin" in the Seven Seas, it is only a matter of time before his comeback becomes known to others.

However, when he heard the name from Alessio's mouth, Shane still had some complicated emotions.

"Are you sure that's the real salary king?"

Jane couldn't help but ask again: "Instead of some fake person who wants to use this name to sensationalize?"

"Or is it a projection copied by some means?"

Jane was obviously thinking of the "Revival Plan" of the [Truth Society], so her attitude was a bit serious.

Seeing this, Daisy also solemnly said: "In the telegram, the Federal Navy has basically confirmed his identity."

"It is said that there are a lot of [Black Flame Walkers] around that salary king."

"They are a group of special forces who are only loyal to King Xin. Although we don't know how they survived to this world, their existence should be able to prove King Xin's identity."

Jane murmured: "[Black Flame Walker]..."

"Could it be that the former King Xin is really not dead?"

Daisy and her brother understood Jane's surprise very well.

Because when the two of them learned the news, they were no less shocked than Jian Jian, and they were even more upset.

In fact, this is the normal reaction of people when they hear "King Xin is still alive".

Xia En's calm attitude was not normal at all.

At this time, Xia En asked Alessio: "What do you mean when you say that the world-destroying flood is related to King Xin?"

Alessio hesitated for a moment and then expressed his guess.

"Could it be the appearance of King Xin that caused the second world-destroying flood to come?"

"After all, his ability is the eternal flame. If it's him, maybe he can melt all the ice in the Far North?"

There was some suspicion in his attitude, which made Shane frown.

However, before Shane could speak, Jane said.

"That's impossible."

"The Fire King would never do such a thing."

Alessio was puzzled: "Why?"

Jane said: "You don't know much about history, so it's understandable that you are suspicious of the Fire King."

"But anyone who knows that period of history will never have such an idea."

Hearing this, even Shane looked at Jane with some curiosity.

His trust in the Fire King came from his experience with Yan Yan. How did Jane come to this conclusion?

Alessio asked again: "Why did the administrator say that?"

Jane said surprisingly: "In fact, the first world-destroying flood was stopped by the Fire King."

"The first world-destroying flood... stopped?"

Daisy widened her eyes in surprise.

This time, the words were connected together, making her feel unusually unfamiliar.

"Hasn't the first great flood come? And it has turned the world into this unrecognizable state."

Daisy asked doubtfully: "How can you say that the Fire King stopped it?"

Jane explained slowly: "The first world-destroying flood was not actually in our world in its complete form."

"Destroying the world... its true effect should be far more than that."

"The real world-destroying flood is probably to completely destroy human civilization and submerge all islands!"

"And the reason why we still have so many islands and so many civilizations left is precisely because of the efforts of the Fire King and the [Great Yan Kingdom]."

Hearing these words, Xia En couldn't help but be shocked.

"You mean..."

"Although the Fire King did not succeed in preventing the flood, he greatly reduced the power of the disaster?"

"Otherwise, human civilization would have been completely destroyed during the first flood?"

Jane nodded and said, "That's right."

"It was also to prevent the flood that the Fire King and his [Great Yan Kingdom] fell like a meteor, leaving little trace on the continent."

She looked at the ice sea outside the window with a complicated look and said.

"According to my speculation, the arrival of this second world-destroying flood is actually just the aftermath of the first flood."

"Aftermath..."

Xia En chewed on this word silently, thinking.

Just like an earthquake will cause aftershocks again and again.

The impact of that world-destroying flood that affected the whole world has not subsided to this day.

Thinking of the frozen glaciers and the remains of the [Great Yan Kingdom] under the ice.

Xia En suddenly understood the meaning of Jane's words.
