By the time Tang Sen returned to the airship, the banquet had already begun.

He could see that in the huge hall, Barn was standing on a put together table, holding the largest beer glass in both hands, tapping his feet in a unique dwarf dance, but not a drop of wine was spilled.

.

And those elegant upper-class people in the past gathered around, trying hard to cater to his atmosphere.

He finally got what he wanted, changing the party that businessmen and nobles were used to into a dwarven style, stepping on valuable wood with his shoes still stained with demonic pus, and even hitting the bar with his warhammer.

However, this time no one will seek compensation from him. As one of the people who saved the airship, this is just a trivial matter.

After all, in the eyes of the people on the airship, apart from Smaug, Barn's performance was the most shocking one - he simply crushed the battlefield with his own strength.

It simply subverts people's inherent impression of the warrior profession.

As for Cui Xi, she is obviously not as accustomed to being chased by people as she said. At this time, she is hiding in the corner with a red face and a glass of wine. Next to her is Lev Lencia who has transformed into a human again.<

/p>

The intimidation of the golden dragon prevents people from coming to disturb you.

Tang Sen had no interest in the banquet. After greeting the two of them, he returned to the room.

As expected, he saw Naomi's figure in the room.

The other party was unusually not wearing a hood.

Compared with the limelight of Barn and Trish, Naomi had almost no sense of presence in this unexpected encounter with the devil. As a rogue, this kind of situation is not her home field.<

/p>

"What are you thinking about?"

Tang Sen asked casually.

"Your ability seems to have become stronger again." Naomi did not answer Tang Sen's words. She turned her gaze back from the window and said: "It is much stronger than when she faced the person in the dark night mask."

"The Mask of Dark Night is not worth mentioning." Tang Sen said this, waiting for Naomi's next article.

But Naomi was silent for a moment before saying, "I originally planned to go back after Eternal Wasteland."

"I know." Tang Sen smiled: "But you changed your mind."

"I think the help I provided in the Eternal Wasteland is not enough to equal the reward you promised me." She stared at Tang Sen with dark red eyes: "I don't like to owe others."

"That's why I'm here."

"I thought you just didn't want to be studied by me." Tang Sen spread his hands: "Of course, I really need you for the rest of the journey."

When she heard the word research, Naomi turned her head, her face flushed, but her tone was still cold: "Judging from today, maybe you don't need me."

"I mean." She paused: "Whether it's you or your team members, your strength is strong enough. Even the Balor Fire Demon can't stop you, and I -"

Tang Sen suddenly laughed and interrupted her: "So you think your strength can no longer keep up with the team?"

"I didn't expect that Naomi Hanni, who is the Killing Blade, would have such thoughts."

Naomi remained silent.

Tang Sen took a step closer, stood in front of Naomi, and said seriously:

"If we talk about strength, whether it is you or me, what difference does it make to Serge?"

"I never thought we could fight Sazastan, at least not now."

"That's why I need to think of more ways to make up for these gaps in strength. No matter what, you are a part of it."

Naomi pursed her lips and nodded: "Then-"

"I have new ideas about the vampire bloodline you mentioned before."

"What do you think?"

Naomi looked out the window at the dirt-filled desert and said slowly: "If you can take out the vampire blood in my body, you must be able to implant more vampire blood in me, right?"

Tang Sen raised his eyebrows: "Bloodline implantation?"

He pondered for a moment: "Theoretically, it works...can vampire blood enhance your strength?"

Naomi nodded and said: "Although it will hinder my progress in the long run, part of my current strength is indeed due to half-blood."

Tang Sen glanced at the other person, and a strand of black hair slid down the other person's pale skin and hung on the delicate collarbone.

So, is it because of this reason that the other party did not immediately allow him to undergo surgery and continue to endure the bloodthirsty impulse of the half-blood to prevent his strength from being greatly reduced?

"This is too dangerous." Tang Sen said: "I can turn half-bloods back into humans, but there is no way to turn vampires back into humans, at least not for a long time."

If the surgical fruit is developed to an extremely deep level, it is not impossible to change the race of others.

Naomi understood what Tang Sen said. Once there was too much vampire blood in her body, she might completely turn into a vampire.

She looked calm: "This is the only way to quickly improve your strength."

Tang Sen looked at her deeply.

It seems that Barn is not the only one who feels that his own strength is not enough to cope with this adventure.

However, Barn is more outgoing, so he shows it clearly, while Naomi is too introverted and doesn't want others to notice her thoughts.

Well, Cui Xi has no idea in this regard at all, although she is the weakest one in the team if she only looks at her own strength.

"Let me think about it."

Tang Sen said seriously: "In fact, vampire blood is not the only way to improve strength."

"In other words, your idea gave me some inspiration... If certain bloodlines can help people, why do they have to be vampires?"

"That thing is not very powerful."

Naomi raised her head with confusion on her face: "What do you mean?"

"If I can implant vampire blood into people, why not be more bold?" Tang Sen fell into thinking: "And... this idea does not seem to be impossible."

Tang Sen has never thought about this. After all, the original owner of the surgical fruit has never shown such an ability.

And it does sound incredible.

But the performance of devil fruits depends on the development of ability users.

In terms of understanding the existence of bloodline...or extraordinary characteristics, Tang Sen himself, who possesses the characteristics of a shepherd and can devour other creatures' extraordinary characteristics at will, and uses these characteristics on himself, is definitely considered worthy.

Above is the expert.

If we rely on our understanding of the shepherd's characteristics to develop the surgical fruit's ability in this area——

Tang Sen's heart beat a few beats faster.

"Naomi." He said seriously: "If you don't mind——"
