swish swish...
Under the thick darkness of night, although the fierce sea breeze had stopped, it didn't know when it started to rain lightly again.
Since there were less than half the people on the ship, the accommodation conditions were much more relaxed than before.
Thanks to his status as a chef, Byron can have the entire kitchen to himself, and does not have to endure the pirates' smelly body odor and go to the lower deck with them to squeeze into the hammock.
It's about two o'clock in the morning, when everyone on the ship is sleeping most soundly.
Byron, who was lying on the small bed in the corner of the kitchen, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and landed quietly on the ground.
After the spiritual aura was anchored to the [Silver Law], his biological clock had an error smaller than the most accurate navigation clock in the world.
After making sure that all the doors and windows were closed, he lit a whale oil lamp on the table before sitting back on the bed and taking out the "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Cookbook".
"[The logbook] is indeed correct.
I had just boarded the pirate ship "Man-Eating Shark" when "Secret: Captain Salman's Unspeakable Secret" immediately started to explode.
The historical influence is 4%, which is related to the life and death of everyone on the same boat!
It seems that the man-eating sharks in the sea and the pirates who drank blood wine are all part of this crisis.
The source is this recipe book containing [forbidden knowledge]. "
Byron gently stroked the cover, which looked like human skin but made people inexplicably have a strong appetite, and recalled the knowledge related to strange objects in his mind.
“In this world, there are many types of strange objects, and most of them are carefully crafted by the [craftsmen] of the tower sequence.
A small part is born naturally due to some unknown principle.
For example, the evil [Cursed Object], which is accompanied by large-scale casualties, tends to be negative; the [Holy Relic], which entrusts a period of important history or heroic deeds, tends to be positive.
Moreover, naturally occurring wonders are often more powerful than those created afterward.
There is a very famous holy relic [the world's first matchlock gun] in the Hetings Strait Fleet.
Relying on the power of weapon changes in the historical trend, it is more powerful than a third-level mid-sequence transcendent. "
“It’s just that not only are they rare in number, but most of them have self-obscuring characteristics. Only when certain conditions are met can their power be used.
Naturally born [Holy Relics] are rare and will be skipped for now.
After an ordinary rare object is made, it will be given a [Cutting Inscription] by the [Craftsman] or the first owner.
The easiest way is to read out this inscription. "
With the help of [Navigation Log], Byron, who is best at spying on secrets, is confident that this crazy captain will steal the chicken but lose the rice.
I casually opened the thick book and saw a recipe written in Common Language on every page.
Page One, Stuffed Dormouse:
Stuff the dormouse with pork and dormouse mince, grind pepper, nuts, herbs, mix with broth and marinate.
Stuff the pickled dormouse into an earthenware baking pot, bake it in the stove, and then put it into a soup pot to stew.
Scroll further back and you’ll find the porpoise pudding we’ve already seen, as well as pickled puffin, canned herring, pig’s blood chocolate, and dried shark jellyfish...
There is no fixed cuisine from all over the world, it seems to be a collection of dozens of different chefs.
All in all, this is a recipe that packs a punch.
Just reading the description makes me feel dirty.
But Byron knew that these recipes were all representations, and words in common language could not carry [forbidden knowledge].
Taking a deep breath, I actively stimulated the [echo of history] for this strange object.
In the blue eyes as deep as the sea, a spiritual light suddenly bloomed, covering the entire cookbook like water waves.
Buzz—!
With a subtle sound, Byron felt his [spirituality] rapidly depleted, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his body.
After a moment of discomfort, he shook his dizzy head.
Using the ancient extraordinary language Rune, he read out the prompts that appeared on the [Navigation Log] word by word:
"Praise to Lord Gluttony."
It is also the [Cutting Inscription] that launches "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Recipe"!
This book-shaped strange object emits a bloody aura from the inside out. It is originally made of something like human skin, and it truly shows its original appearance.
It's really a book in human skin.
In addition to the title of the book, there is also a row of gilded inscriptions in the lower right corner of the cover - Lord Gluttony.
All the original common languages on the pages of the book slowly disappeared, replaced by rune text and illustrations.
At the same time, part of the information about this strange object finally appeared in the logbook.
[Bloody Mary’s gourmet recipes
Ability: When a devout pursuer of cooking skills reads a recipe and obtains the corresponding knowledge, the recipe in the reader's memory will also be read simultaneously by the recipe.
When all the food knowledge in the reader's memory is drained, he or she will become the nourishment for the recipe, brewing a "blood brew" with magical effects.
The better the chef, the slower it will be drained by the recipes, but the more delicious and powerful the blood brew will be!
If you don't know the cutting inscription, you can only read ordinary recipes, and if you read the cutting inscription, you can read forbidden knowledge.
Note: Transcendents below mid-level are not immune to this effect.
but! Great captain, to you, what is the difference between this and free prostitution? 】
“I finally understood why those chefs disappeared.
This was actually the idea behind Salman sending out recipes.
——Continuously feed the chef with recipes to brew [Blood Brew]! "
Byron's eyes just glanced over the logbook and settled on the runes appearing in the recipe.
"Compared to the ability of the recipe itself, the [taboo knowledge] recorded above is the most precious."
With Byron's knowledge, he could easily see that what was written above were taboo recipes for mixing wine with extraordinary blood and various raw materials: [Blood Brew].
It can also be translated as [Shujiu].
If you learn the taboo knowledge in this book, you can prepare hundreds of "cocktails" on your own.
Instead of being like the clueless [Blood Eyes] Salman, he can only rely on the ability of the recipe itself to make those chefs prepare unique varieties.
Byron just casually used a recipe for "Seaweed and Egg Drop Soup" in his mind, and got the locked formula - [Transmutation Blood].
Raw materials: the body and soul of intelligent creatures.
Efficacy: homogeneous transformation, different raw materials will transform in different directions.
Byron immediately connected all the strange things he saw and heard on the ship:
"Evolution can be translated as: transformation, replacement.
In other words, if this thing is used on [Gourmet] Salman himself, it can be used as a similar 'staple' tonic.
If used on others, it can transform other creatures, from soul to body, into one's own shape.
The same is true for those controlled man-eating sharks and pirates who dream of becoming extraordinary!
All the [battle blood] is a lie.
In the end, Salman only needs to perform one more ceremony to ignore all the taboos on humans in the [Silver Law] and never do anything again..."
Suddenly, his ears moved and he heard strange noises coming from above his head.
It was an extremely short cry for help, and... a dying struggle!
"problem occurs!"
Byron quickly grabbed the sword in his hand like a conditioned reflex and was about to rush out of the kitchen.
But then he remembered the advice of old Hans, the shipbuilder, not to violate the precepts, and stopped suddenly.
There is one in the Ten Commandments of Pirates [Commandment Three: It is strictly forbidden to go on the deck between two o'clock and four o'clock. 】
more importantly.
Byron, who had just dropped a massive purine bomb on a gout patient a few hours ago, knew best.
Usually, the worst time for gout attacks is between two and four in the morning!
