Chapter 636: Chapter 358: Blood Race Nobility (Double Length)
Upon hearing Rogel’s inquiry, he instinctively glanced at Hudson behind him.
"Why are you looking at me? Just answer what’s being asked to you."
Hudson frowned slightly.
Upon hearing his words, the Vampire Captain trembled all over.
It was at this moment that he realized the situation on this ship was completely different from what he had imagined!
This seemingly ordinary human was actually the one in control of this ship!
...
Under the threat of death, the Vampire Captain naturally spoke without reservation.
Rogel and the others thus learned about the general situation of the Blood Sea.
In the Blood Sea, there is nominally a unified empire—the Blood Empire.
This empire is naturally controlled by the tier formed by the high-tier Blood Race.
However, the reason it’s called nominal is because the Blood Empire actually cannot completely control the entire Blood Sea.
In the Blood Sea, the reality is that the Blood Empire’s Imperial City and several other Blood Race dukes govern independently, each controlling different regions of the Blood Sea.
This is the general situation of the Blood Sea.
The next important information is the basic situation of the Blood Race.
The division into Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, and Baron is indeed correct.
However, from a certain perspective, it doesn’t correspond to the Blood Race’s power tier but rather to the nobility of the bloodline.
For example, a recognized Blood Race Duke.
He might not necessarily have power corresponding to a demigod, but his bloodline is definitely among the most noble in the Blood Race.
And the purity of the bloodline actually also relates to the strength of the Blood Race.
In the Blood Sea, pure Blood Race bloodlines have a higher upper limit than mixed bloodlines.
This is partly because high-tier Blood Race families often have inherited Blood Secret Techniques, which are powerful and complement themselves.
Someone like the Vampire Captain, who is a Blood Race with a mixed bloodline, even though he possesses Apostle Level combat power, still only has a simple "transformation" ability, which makes his skin tougher and thicker.
This might work for bullying some similar wandering Blood Races, but when faced with opponents of the same tier with a variety of tricks, he can only take a beating.
On the other hand, high-tier Blood Races have a certain degree of bloodline suppression over others of their kind.
It is worth noting that within the Blood Race, there is no suppression based on tier, only on bloodline.
For example, a Blood Race with Viscount bloodline might only have Apostle Tier abilities, while his opponent is a wandering Blood Race of Deputy Tier.
In that case, the former won’t necessarily crush the latter but can at least hold his own.
Moreover, Rogel also discovered that the tier suppression from other races against the Blood Race is effective but not as strong as ordinary suppression.
Of course, for someone like Rogel, such an effect is negligible. If he wants the Vampire Captain to kneel, he would have to lie on the ground.
However, this situation made Rogel quite puzzled.
It seems that the Blood Race’s bloodline might hide even deeper secrets.
"I’ll leave it to you."
After the inquiry, Rogel handed him over to Hudson for disposal.
Upon hearing this, the Vampire Captain’s pupils shrank immediately, and he began to beg Hudson for mercy in extreme fear.
Of course, Hudson had no intention of showing mercy, and they didn’t need this guy as a guide.
So, after finishing him off with a single shot, they threw him into the sea.
The Skeleton Warriors soon began diligently cleaning the bloodstains on the deck.
Rogel then looked at Hudson, pondered for a moment, and curiously asked, "Don’t you use silver and garlic to deal with these vampires?"
"Silver and garlic?" Hudson frowned upon hearing this, "Why ask? Do these two things have any use?"
Seeing his expression, Rogel instantly knew these two things probably were of no use.
"What about the Cross Nail?"
Rogel added.
Hudson still had a confused look on his face.
Seeing this, Rogel could only shrug his shoulders.
It seems that in this world, the Blood Race doesn’t possess those weaknesses he stereotypically thought of.
Hmm... that’s normal.
Given that there are far more powerful beings than the Blood Race in this world, if they had one or two more significant weaknesses, they wouldn’t even come close to maintaining control of a sea, let alone defend a measly corner...
...
After a brief interlude, everyone gained a further understanding of the Blood Race in the Blood Sea.
At the same time, Rogel hid the Gelin to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After all, while he could easily swat a mosquito with a slap, it would be best if there were no mosquitoes buzzing around his ears in the first place.
The destination for this journey is the imperial capital of the Blood Empire.
And although the Gelin is fast, it would still take about two days.
Rogel wasn’t bored, as there was a beautiful ship’s doctor to keep him company.
But as for anything inappropriate—well, there were other crew members on Gelin, so it’s best to restrain oneself a bit.
As for the taciturn Hudson, he spent his days in the cabin, maintaining his demon exorcism weapons and enhancing battle preparations.
In his view, another big fight was anticipated.
Yet unexpectedly...
Before the anticipated battle, the Gelin encountered a massive sea battle midway.
BOOM!
Several dense fleets of large ships thundered with cannon fire, and Blood Race with flying abilities engaged each other with guns and knives in the air.
Screams of anguish and roars of rage from the Blood Race echoed non-stop.
"Are the Blood Race having a civil war? What’s going on?"
Mira looked curiously in the direction of the battle.
The battlefield was chaotic, with ships constantly moving and engaging in bombardment, making it impossible to see the details.
"Might be a dispute between the Blood Race dukes."
Hudson glanced calmly and then withdrew his gaze, uninterested in the Blood Race’s gossip.
"What’s going on? What happened?"
The originally lazy Noemi ran over excitedly, looking eager to watch the drama unfold.
"Good question, I want to know too."
Rogel nodded.
"Come on Captain, use your ability to see what’s happening."
Noemi said somewhat displeased.
The captain had juicy details and didn’t share them with her.
In response to Noemi’s complaint, Rogel only rolled his eyes, then turned with a smile to Lina: "Miss Lina, do you want to see what’s going on?"
Seeing his quick change of face, Lina couldn’t help but laugh: "Alright, alright. Don’t keep them in suspense, if you’re going to show, show them already."
Hearing this, Rogel shrugged.
With a thought, a cluster of black orbs with purple pupils appeared around him, looking quite eerie.
Then, under Rogel’s indication, these black orbs flew towards the distant sea battle, gradually blending into the air.
Meanwhile, a black tide roiled before Rogel, eventually condensing into a smooth vertical surface, upon which appeared the scenes captured by the black orbs.
"Yay yay! Captain is the best!"
Noemi cheered with excitement, bringing a stool and carrying a basket of fruits and some dried fruits.
The others naturally found their spots and began observing.
Seeing this, even Hudson silently emerged from the cabin.
He just had no interest in deliberately seeking the Blood Race’s gossip, but if he could understand the Blood Race this easily, he surely wouldn’t refuse.
After all, as an exorcist, he must know his enemy to better strike them, right?
"Meow."
Even Big Orange sat obediently and tilted its head, seemingly curious.
...
BOOM!
In the Gelin’s planting area, inside a small wooden cabin, Iya was still soundly asleep, wrapped tightly in blankets.
The faint rumbling from outside seemed unable to disturb her continued sleep.
BOOM!
Another explosion.
Little Elf seems to have woken up, drowsily lifting her eyelids.
"Nom nom..."
However, she licked the saliva on her lips, turned over, closed her eyes again, and continued to indulge in her dreams...
