Chapter 51 "Please, Let Me Do Something..."
Eros frowned, "and what does that have to do with me? I may be a noble, but I'm too far low on the true spectrum of power. Even my fiefdom is but a little estate at the edge of the kingdom."
Captain blind Eyes laughed, "of course it is, but," his fingers tapped the table, "not for long. After all, you said it yourself. I climbed from pain and dirt to get to my position. And now I seat a king of the seas. Do you think a king can not recognize another king?"
He stopped his tapping and pointed to Eros, "I do not need my eyes to tell me that you are not an ordinary noble. The only thing I wonder, is when will it happen?"
"When will what happen?"
"When will you spread your broad wings."
Eros sighed.
He understood what this man was saying, but to be fair, he had no plans to rule in this world. Not even seating as king of the world was enough to satisfy his strong ambitions. He had greater plans. His opponents were not mere men. No! there were divine beings.
Although captain blind Eyes was right about him having wide broad wings, he absolutely had no idea how truly wide and broad there were.
"Take this information as a goodwill message from me. I have already sent word to the king. Knowing that man, he would soon comb through every last noble. Of course, that would include you and descendants that you have," Captain Blind Eyes paused, "Surely you must know what I mean."
Eros took a deep breath and nodded in understanding.
Of course, he did. He had the memories of the former Eros who was a noble of this kingdom. He was well aware of what a combing meant.
It was essentially a show of strength and superiority.
It was not the first time this king or any at all in history had done such a thing.
It was usually a claim to find spies. In such a task, the king would send his Enforcers. The aim was to put fear into the hearts of the nobles. Many would definitely be falsely accused and put to death.
In fact, it was in one such event that the Eros of this body had lost members of his blood-tied family.
if such a thing were to happen again, Eros might even lose his Grand son or Granddaughter to the so-called Combing.
In inheriting this body, and the memories, he had also inherited the responsibility to their lives.
This was something that topped his list of priorities.
"This information," Eros paused, "it is a very vital one. What is in it for you?"
Eros was not born yesterday. Was there such a thing as free lunch? Much less one from a pirate that only had the foresight of treasure.
Captain Blind Eyes smiled, revealing his golden teeth. "Just take it from me as a gift. If you ever decide to spread those wings, then remember me. That is all I ask."
"Hmmm!" Eros nodded his head. He thought hard for a few seconds. Although he could not see the reason why he would change from his current path, he really did not like owing people debts.
He decided to do something in return.
looking around, he took a quill pen and a sheet of paper on the table.
And then he started writing.
Captain Blind Eyes did not interrupt him. In fact, he really wanted to see what Eros was cooking up.
It only took a few seconds and Eros was done.
"Take it! Consider the debt paid."
"Huh!?"
Captain Blind Eyes wanted to refuse at first, but then he used his soul energy to run through what was written on the paper.
....
Those outside waited in silence. The Blackguards watched their every movement attentively.
At the moment, their fate all depended on Baron Eros. It had been some time.
Yet there had heard nothing except from the overwhelming Spiritual pressure that nearly crushed them only moments ago.
*Boom!*
There was a sudden explosion of soul energy and everybody looked in the direction of the Pirate Ship Known as Dead Eyes.
Commander Half bra had her heart beating in both worry and fear. Both of which tug at her attention like a fisherman struggling with a big fish in his net.
Everybody looked on alert. However, as soon as the burst of soul energy came out, it also receded.
First came the Soul pressure and moments later, the burst of soul energy.
"What the fuck is that old man doing in there?" commander half bra muttered.
Meanwhile, in the cabin, Captain Blind Eyes was on his feet. Again and again, he used his soul energy to scan through the paper.
His fingers holding them shook like he was having a seizure.
Then again, with what he was seeing, he might as well have been having one.
Behind him, the burst of soul energy he gave had removed not just the window but the entire wall.
Also, his expensive seat had been flung into the sea.
However, he could not be bothered by such minute things.
The most important thing was the paper in his hands.
Captain Blind Eyes waved his hand and Giant crow that had been flying above the ships hovered behind him.
It was big and its wing span was nothing to laugh at.
Captain Blind Eyes was using the Eyes of the beast to double confirm on what his soul energy had detected.
"This... this... this is..." Captain Blind Eyes stammered.
"Yes! it is a Legendary Grade technique."
Captain Blind eyes swallowed hard.
In the entire kingdom, only the Royal Family had a Legendary Grade Technique.
Captain Blind Eyes had lost his eyes, but there was nothing he wished for right now than the ability to shed actual tears.
For a long time in his life he had struggled to climb. He had done all sorts of atrocities to get to his position, and he had plundered the sea.
However, no matter how hard he searched, he was never able to find good cultivation techniques. Till this moment, he was using ordinary Techniques. Also, he was not from any of those families that had incredible bloodlines and could have a gifted ranked Technique.
However, the technique that Eros had just so casually gifted him for sharing a bit of information that might even go viral had secured him an incredible technique.
Even if he had never done any good thing for anyone in his life. After meeting Eros today, he was definitely going to be doing a lot of good.
"That technique is tailored specifically towards your body, and meridians. Even if another person were to take hold of it, it will be an ordinary technique. Only you and those of your generation can use it."
Hearing those words was like a Bomb went off in the captain's head.
this meant that this technique was also a Bloodline Technique.
Bloodline Technique were generally classified as gifted techniques. The reason was because they were gotten at birth.
There could also be evolved and grown into other levels of techniques. However, there formed true foundation for power and the manipulation of soul energy.
There were a lot of people that evolved ordinary techniques to gifted techniques that could be passed down the bloodline, but it was truly a painful task.
Also, not many techniques ever left the gifted range to become mystic techniques.
It was also easy for one to understand that if a technique was classified as Legendary, then one could cultivate that technique to its peak legendary strength level.
"No! this... compared to what you have given me, What I gave is not enough. No! it can't be."
Eros could see that Captain Blind Eyes was really holding back on his emotions.
In truth, Eros wanted to make it an epic grade, but he decided to put some limiters here and there.
A legendary technique?
That was easy as pie for him. Even if he wanted to, he could as well have made it a Divine technique, but those had very strict requirements for training.
For example, one must cultivate a primordial energy.
"Please let me do something, anything for you. Even if it's wine, money or Even Women!"
Eros was still willing to refuse the offer. But the moment he heard women, he smiled.
"Really!?"
Captain Blind Eyes understood that he had gotten a side of Eros in the Bag.
"Yes! Women. What kind do you like?"
Eros's smile got wider, "Big Fat Booty!!!"
