Extraordinary pedigree

Brom Castle.

Wuwuwu——

The giant steel beast named [Keel] was parked above the ruins of the old castle, and its huge body made a low mechanical sound. The behemoth's steel armor reflects the light of the sun and shines with metallic luster. The powerful mechanical components and gears rotate in its body, making a firm and orderly sound, like a precise piece of music.

From the portholes of the ship, you can see the complex mechanical activities inside. The steam pump sprays steam, which fills the surrounding air, accompanied by a roaring sound, like the breathing of a giant beast.

The steel behemoth's eyes flashed with cold red light, staring at the earth below.

"This is!?"

On the deck of the ship, Zhou Zhou stood on the guardrail, looking at the ruins under the ship with a look of disbelief.

The once magnificent castle has now been completely razed to the ground, leaving only ruins. Ancient stones are scattered on the ground, like a huge puzzle that has been disrupted and is no longer complete; the walls are tilted, the corners have collapsed, and the spire has disappeared, leaving only incomplete traces.

The gaps between the stone bricks are filled with wild grass and weeds. They sway gently in the wind, seeming to tell the story of the decline of the castle.

There is no life here, no sound of people's activities, only the low and plaintive sound of wind passing through the stone pillars of the ruins, bringing a sense of desolate sadness. The sun shines through the broken windows and shines on the ground, reflecting a hazy light and shadow, giving the entire ruins a desolate beauty.

Among the ruins, a man covered in blood was slowly walking towards the ship. Xia Xiu, who was controlling the ship at this time, also opened the teleportation circle to guide him to the ship.

call out--

With a burst of light that was not very dazzling, the berserker who had experienced a bloody battle silently walked to the ship.

At this time, Vardasson Broly's face was stained with bright red blood, and scars intertwined on his face to form a sad picture. His left hand was still dripping with blood, and his eyes were full of fear. The head of a crazy vampire, and a bumpy but headless female corpse on its shoulders.

"This is what you want."

Broly casually threw Albert's head on the deck. The vampire head naturally rolled down in front of the blond young man, and he stretched out his foot to step on the head in a familiar manner.

"You... damn human being! Take your feet off my head!!!"

Albert is different from Nosferatu who was autistic by [Sulte]. The other party was tortured to the point of losing consciousness by the terrifying thaumaturgy and repeated fire torture, but Albert was simply tortured by Bro. It's just that Lee was blown away.

They are the holders of [Vampire Arms], and their immortality allows them to survive even with only one head left. As long as they are willing to burn core blood energy, it is a trivial matter to be reborn instantly after being decapitated.

However, Albert and Nosferatu were almost autistic after being beaten by Xia Xiu and others. The core blood energy in their bodies was burned again and again. At this moment, it was already delusional to want to be resurrected instantly, and the only one who still retained a large amount of Torredor Alinea, who has core blood energy, is infected with the sensory distortion mimexin emitted by [Beowulf's Oath], so her consciousness and spirituality are slowed down by 2 times at the moment.

Yalinia's head had actually grown several times before Xia Xiu and others came, but it was crushed directly by [Master Incarnation Beowulf] behind Broly.

Faced with Albert's shouting at his feet, Xia Xiu didn't care. Various data templates and parameter information were flowing rapidly in his eyes. During the radar detection of the ship, several of them emitted large ARad fields. The red dots are rapidly approaching him. These are probably the [Combat Team Group] aircraft purchased by the [Secret Alliance], and the other densely packed small red dots, needless to say, are the blood that is quickly gathering here. American troops.

The Daevite Empire's armed system is a synthetic mobile force, that is, a [combat team group/tactical group], which is generally in a high state of combat readiness.

A [Tactical Group] consists of a mechanized airframe battalion, equipped with air defense, artillery, engineering and logistics support units. Usually the formation also adds two specific arms: fire suppression and mobile decapitation. Generally, a [Combat Team Group] is thirty Up to 60 aircrafts, every three aircrafts form a team.

The Daevite Empire currently has one hundred [Combat Team Groups] invested in the [Proxy War].

One thing that needs to be noted is that the war machinery of the Daevite Empire is very expensive. The annual maintenance fee of the conventional [Dagger I] costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the equipment of the weapons is not to mention. .

In modern Terran thaumaturgical warfare, few other thaumaturges than the angels of heaven dare to move in and out of the torrent of Daevite machinery.

[The Secret Alliance] spent a lot of money to purchase a complete [Combat Team Group] from the Daevite Empire to enrich their military capabilities. In fact, in many hubs along the coast, especially in areas where aliens live, they secretly More or less, they have retained a large number of military warfare capabilities - some are destructive thaumaturgic equipment and twisted items; some are the summons of evil gods and living gods; and some are the newly developed large-scale Meme virus. , disturbing the ether type of thaumaturgy...

The storms and waves in the Hub are very strong, and the general forces cannot control them at all. If it were not for the fear of the current Terran kingdoms and the deep fear of the Kingdom of Heaven, these alien races would have raised their arms and launched a collective counterattack back to the main world of Terra.

At this moment, facing the approaching enemy, Xia Xiu on the ship had already adjusted the parameters of [Phase Shuttle].

"Everyone, our trip to Reykjavik is over." Xia Xiu said to everyone present like a tour guide.

"We can finally leave the territory of the vampires. To be honest, the prince of the inner circle of the [Secret Alliance] definitely hates us for making [Smokeless City] look like this. He will definitely put a high reward on the dark web for us. "Yes." Tours sat on the deck with his feet crossed and said speechlessly to the golden retriever with a bright smile in front of him.

"What is the dark web?" Zhou Zhou asked his question again at the right time.

For Zhou Zhou, the world is always novel. Maybe give him a good game and he can play it tirelessly for a lifetime, because he will always maintain his amazement and love for this game.

When Zhou Zhou asked this question, Broly also faced the fox-eared child in front of him who looked like a child but was well-informed.

Zhou Zhou and Broly's curious eyes made Turs feel like he was going back in time. He had served as a university professor for a period of time, and it was the most comfortable time he had ever spent. He especially liked the students' A pair of eyes full of knowledge and curiosity, so when the two of them looked at him with such knowledge-seeking eyes, his old scholar's habits came back again.

"Ahem—" Tours put his right fist to his lips and coughed to moisten his throat.

"The [Ether Ocean] is a huge and abnormal extraordinary origin. Most thaumatologists obtain the power to distort the real world by observing it. The major lineages of modern Terra are the most top-notch observations in thaumatology at this stage. Technology, genealogy is a huge network that connects people from different parts of the world. It helps various thaumaturges construct convenient, efficient, and rational ways of observation.

At the same time, high-level genealogy does not actually make thaumaturges dependent. [Entification] is the basis for getting rid of dependence. Even if the genealogy network is blocked, the combat effectiveness of each lineage member will not be affected too much - —The essence of the genealogy still allows thaumatologists to more conveniently visit every corner of the [Ether Ocean] or deepen their own thaumatological theories.

However, not every thaumaturge has access to all parts of the Ethereal Ocean via lineage. Part of [Ether Ocean] is hidden from conventional search engines. Of course, this hiding is not because of how powerful or special it is. It is hidden purely because it often operates on privately constructed genealogical networks and only allows communication through specific means.

This achieves a high degree of anonymity, which means it has countless roots. The famous dark network has more than 200, which makes the dark network a hotbed for many illegal or immoral activities-drug trading, arms smuggling, evil In addition to the rampant religious criminal groups here, there are also some rare archives, documents, and high-quality and dangerous supernatural knowledge mostly silent in this deep sea. "

Speaking of this, the old scholar Turs couldn't help but think of the first time he came into contact with this kind of dark side. To be honest, it was easier to come into contact with the dark web than to come into contact with the abnormal genealogy.

His first contact was because he needed to use a cryptocurrency, which was related to the [Financial Crisis] and [Ether Tide] caused by the Edith Federation [Financial Street] at that time.

One thing that the countries of Terra have to admit now is that when the [Financial Street] appears in the whole of Terra, it will bring many opportunities and crises. Once the [Financial Street] fails, it will host many [Extraordinary Securities] If the stock market crashes or the bond market collapses, it will not only fluctuate into the global market, but also trigger a global financial crisis, which will have a huge impact on ordinary people.

Its collapse will also inevitably lead to panic among many extraordinary people.

This kind of panic is a panic where the origin of spirituality is threatened. It is not just a psychological problem, but the panic caused by a large number of thaumatologists observing the [Ether Ocean] will inevitably distort the [Ether Ocean] and produce many strange things. The Meme virus will inevitably deform the fragile thaumaturge...

The huge observation effects, the EVE particle riots of a large number of thaumaturges and the collapse of the ARad field will inevitably set off a huge tide in the [Ether Ocean], which will lead to large-scale natural disasters in Terra.

[Financial Street] binds the entire Terra. If it is destroyed, Terra's creatures will also be destroyed, not just humans, but other races as well.

The emergence of cryptocurrency itself is a distrust of the Edici Federation, the root of [Financial Street], and many thaumaturgis actually do not want to be controlled by [financial cards] and monitored by [risk assessment agencies]. Some people believe that Cryptocurrencies have the potential to preserve value and protect against inflation.

Tours first came into contact with the darknet because it could run some of the permissions of [Financial Street] without using a [financial card].

And for the sake of scarcity, the total number of cryptocurrencies is set at 21 million, no more, no less; new cryptocurrencies can only be obtained by solving complex problems to verify and add transactions to the blockchain.

An interesting point is that the Edici Federation recognizes cryptocurrency as a legal form of currency and has regulated and supervised it at the tax and regulatory levels. The Edici Federation treats cryptocurrencies as an asset rather than a currency, taxing them and requiring transaction reporting and, well, most importantly, paying taxes.

"Those guys on the dark web dare to trick anyone. I remember that many angels have also been tricked. By the way, Abraham, do you know the recent exchange rate of cryptocurrency to American dollars?" Tours looked up. The blond young man next to him has seldom logged into his genealogy website since he got sick. Moreover, he has been living in A3 and has not inquired much about outside information.

"This year's market price, 1 coin: 25,030 US dollars."

Xia Xiu, who was adjusting the parameters of the warp, answered directly without raising his head. He had been paying attention to the movements of the Edici Federation. This complex financial machine, [Financial Street], could kill the entire life of Terra. The potential is there, it’s impossible not to care about it.

"Tsk, this thing is really crazy." Tours couldn't help but smacked his tongue. At that time, one coin only cost more than 2,000 US dollars, but now it has doubled more than ten times.

“And expect even more craziness to come, the scarcity alone makes cryptocurrencies an incredible asset to hold, and its existence is undisputed until the next halving, which is when the cryptocurrency’s When volumes are cut in half, that's likely to trigger a massive price spike."

The blond young man raised his head and stared at Tours with his golden eyes flashing with various parameters.

"The market value of cryptocurrency has now exceeded 1 trillion US dollars. This is a terrible amount. Behind it represents many invisible hands; and its value is still rising. If it is really cut in half, it may create crazy creations. A huge price rise, some bold economists even said without hesitation: If this trend continues, it will reach 1 coin: one million Canadian dollars.”

"Crazy, how could something so highly speculative and overvalued..."

Tours couldn't help but said:

“If this happens, its popularity and market acceptance may be limited. The high price may make it difficult for ordinary users to purchase and use it, while more institutional investors and wealthy individuals may be more likely to participate. Entering this market; the emergence of cryptocurrency itself is also a means to circumvent [financial card] restrictions. If this is the case, it will itself become a high-priced thaumaturgic item."

"If you are interested in this thing, our next destination just has a collection in this area."

The blond young man rubbed his chin and said to Turs.

"What's our next stop?" Tours asked curiously.

"Our next destination is..."

Boom——

Before the blond young man finished speaking, a huge machine roar came from the distance. A red machine was approaching quickly. At this time, the parameter adjustment of the ship was also completed.

[Start to jump——]

A strong energy field surrounded the ship, like a transparent barrier. As the hum of the engine grew louder, the energy field began to twist and change, emitting blue arcs and light. The ship seemed to be gathering strength, like a beast ready to leap.

Suddenly, a bright white light flashed around the ship, followed by a loud noise, and the ship seemed to be suddenly pushed by an invisible force. Space distorted, time seemed to be stretched, and the ship disappeared in a bright flash.
