Time moves forward slightly.
"Hiccup~"
A drunken figure staggered out of the lower cabin along the wooden ladder, climbed up the bulwark in the drizzle, and unbuckled his trousers with his eyes closed.
The water started to release.
His whole body smelled of alcohol, and he didn't know how much he had drunk before.
Apparently he had forgotten the commandments in a daze, and climbed onto the deck without even opening his eyes to take a good look at the time.
In fact, most people in this era have little awareness of hygiene. Many cities are actually huge cesspits.
Even if you are the king of a country, there are many people who only take a few baths in their life.
They don't mind solving the problem right next to their hammock if they can.
But definitely not on a sailboat.
A deck anywhere needs to be well maintained.
When sailors have free time, most of them will be urged by pirate officers to wipe the deck and apply tung oil to prevent mold, rot, mushrooms and the capsizing of the ship.
Even the gunpowder magazine, which requires the highest safety factor, will be paved with copper and tin floors to prevent sparks from being scratched.
If anyone dares to defecate anywhere like in the city, others will not mind cutting off his stuff and stuffing it into his mouth.
Even though he had not sobered up in the middle of the night, he was subconsciously avoiding this terrible consequence.
Compared with the "Ten Commandments of Pirates", this is a more deep-rooted instinct!
pity...
A certain rule maker obviously did not want to forgive this daredevil.
Another bright bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and a burly figure that did not look like a human was reflected on the stern of the tall ship.
It seems that the pirate is a bit petite.
The black shadow moved on the ground in a very strange way, and under the cover of the rainy night, it silently moved toward the pirate who was lifting his pants.
Ten steps, seven steps, four steps, one step...
"What stinks so much? What bastard is using the bathroom on the deck?"
The pirate wrinkled his nose and muttered a curse.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a terrifying "monster" very close to him.
His eyes suddenly widened, and the wine was immediately half awakened by fright.
"save..."
Before the urgent cry for help could be shouted out, a pale paw immediately blocked his mouth.
At the critical moment, he even wanted to kick the deck hard to attract the attention of his companions.
However, a huge claw like a basket grabbed his head and lifted it up.
The "monster's" big mouth filled with sharp dagger-like teeth suddenly opened and bit him on the neck.
"Gurgling..."
Swallow the hot blood mixed with alcohol and [Transmutation Blood] in the pirate's body.
Due to rapid blood loss, the pirate's eyes turned black, and he could clearly see the appearance of the "monster" at close range.
The original ball-like figure of only 1.5 meters had doubled in size. The body was stooped, the skin was gray, and gleaming sharp claws grew on the palms and soles of the feet.
The two deformed claws still have dense tophi.
There was a strong corpse smell all over his body.
However, the face still retains some of its original appearance, especially the blood-colored eyes that have turned into vertical animal pupils!
"Ship...Captain?? No, spare me..."
Only he could hear the small begging for mercy coming from his throat, and it could not shake Salman's iron-cold will at all.
"Gudu...the transcendence I bestow upon you is to become one with me.
Welcome the sublimation happily, Jie Jie Jie..."
[The Ten Commandments of Pirates] represents the projection of the power of the law and is bound by the invisible [Pirate Code].
Few pirate captains dared to violate the pirate code directly and openly, and were severely punished by the law.
It is already not tolerated by the officials of various countries. If it offends the pirates' biggest backer again, they will definitely die tragically.
But as long as the crew is induced to violate certain harsh precepts, the captain can punish him openly.
As it happens, sailors in the Age of Discovery were notoriously rude, and most of them had little sense of rules. This was especially true on the most undisciplined pirate ships.
If you accidentally forget the rules on the ship, there will be endless violations of the rules.
In this day and age, severe penalties for minor offenses were common on ships of almost all nations.
"Cat with nine tails", "keel drag", "walking on the springboard", "drag in water", "exile to the desert island"... are all unique inventions of this era.
But on the "Man-Eating Shark", the starting point is the death penalty!
“It’s actually a ghoul?!
No, this should be the price Salman paid after violating [Gourmet's] 'cannibalism' commandment and using forbidden knowledge for a long time! "
Byron, who heard the unusual noise, quietly slipped out of the kitchen.
All this can be seen through a gap on the open deck that has not had time to be repaired after the battle.
After realizing that the ghoul was Salman, Byron couldn't help but shuddered.
"Are you really no longer a human being?"
To say that he has no interest in forbidden knowledge such as [Blood Brewing], which is forbidden by the church, would definitely be a lie.
The soul in the body that died of ALS and pursues freedom is not naturally fond of the step-by-step legal system and "Ladder of Glory" that are like a cage.
The abilities of each class within the sequence are almost fixed.
For example, swordsmen may have different swordsmanship skills, but they can be 100% sure that the opponent is holding a sword, not a musket or other foul weapon.
But the taboo knowledge outside the sequence is different.
When fighting, take things out all at once.
Others thought you only had a dagger, but what you pulled out was a thick and long rocket launcher, which naturally gave you an advantage.
It's a pity to see Salman like this.
He also realized again that although [Forbidden Knowledge] was useful, since it was not included in the [Silver Law], he needed to bear the price of "personal transgression".
Decreased sanity and deviation of human nature are the most common ones.
Other manifestations include sweetness, bloodthirst, gluttony, lust, photophobia, forgetfulness, jealousy, etc. are all possible.
This is also the reason why the church denounces it as black magic and most supernatural beings acquiesce.
So is there a so-called [white witchcraft] that can break through the original fixed sequence without any side effects?
The answer is... none!
“Salman is not only becoming more and more crazy mentally, but it seems that even his physical body is beginning to alienate towards a ghoul.
In other words, this is his purpose!
[Gourmet]'s gout will be aggravated if he wants to become stronger. [Blood Brew] can cure his gout, but he needs to keep eating people, which in turn violates [Gourmet's] taboo of eating the same kind...
Repeatedly playing nesting dolls, falling into an endless loop.
But as long as he stops being a human being, this contradiction will be solved immediately, which is perfect. "
"I'm afraid this pirate didn't want to go on the deck on his own. He was probably influenced by the blood wine and brought it to Salman's mouth.
What's worse is that because of the assimilation effect of [Transmutation Blood], the remaining pirates and sharks he eats in the future will most likely turn into bloodthirsty secondary ghouls!
The only materials I'm missing now are the high-quality [Blood Brew] produced by me, an 'excellent chef'. "
When Byron thought of this, he couldn't help but feel that the recipe book with the [cutting inscription] "In Praise of the Lord Gluttony" was a bit hot.
Decided not to try it until the side effects were clear.
While he was meditating, there was another change on the deck.
The ghoul-turned Salman returned to his human form after draining the pirate's blood and eating his internal organs.
The condition is obviously much better than before.
He casually threw the pirate's corpse into the sea and fed it to the sharks to re-enrich the remaining [Transmutation Blood], and then swaggered back to his captain's cabin.
At the same time, the solution density of [Secret: Captain Salman’s Unspeakable Secret] suddenly jumped to 95%.
The overall context has basically surfaced.
You should find answers to the rest of the details in "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Recipes".
Byron felt that it would not take long for him to complete the subsequent interpretation.
Putting aside the matter of cost for the time being, I turned to look forward to what kind of new [entry] this secret would give me.
