Sheya scoffed in his heart as he observed Taitish’s unconcealable fright. Instead, he projected an unconcerned expression and continued.

"That elephant sculpture is hailed as a sacrificial beast totem by the gypsies right? It is truly extremely terrifying and deadly. I was incapable of rivalling it, but for it to kill me would absolutely not be a simple feat. Before its period of descent onto this world concluded, I managed to sever one of its toes."

Sheyan paused as he spoke till here and stared at Taitish.

"For your sacrificial beast totem to materialize, it had to absorb the youth and vitality essence of countless females. With my mystical arts from the east, I managed to severe off an essence residue from the soul of that sacrificial beast totem. In view that you had contributed greatly to the commandeering of this ship, I restored you with a residue of that essence."

Pulses of ominous sensations was already flooding through Taitish’s heart. Then, she heard Sheyan continuing.

"Therefore, truthfully speaking, it was that severed strength of the gypsies’ sacrificial beast totem that enhanced your prowess. As for the soul residue that ruled over that essence, it has been suppressed by my eastern arts of mystery. Since your prowess is greatly boosted now, then you can suppress that soul residue yourself. It takes me strenuous efforts to suppress this item."

While speaking, Sheyan produced soul residue that had already been condensed into the size of a mung bean. Within a split second, Taitish suddenly issued an unexplainably miserable screech!

She had no clue why she released such an incomparably frightened and wild screech. However, when her gaze interacted with that soul residue, her blood boiled as she sensed an intensified sensation as though her strength was about to be evaporated away!!

Sheyan unfurled his hand. Then, that mung-bean sized soul residue shot towards Taitish with an instinctive magnetism. By now, Taitish had already slumped to the floor limpidly, while her throat gurgled preventing her from speaking a single word. Her eyeballs were protruding out of its eye sockets, and a visible moistness flowed out beneath her. She had actually lost control of her bowels!

Witnessing this scene, Sheyan was undoubtedly pleased. His lips curled upwards before he seized back that soul residue, locking it back within his palm; before he stored it back into the party shared storage.

Once that soul residue disappeared, Taitish immediately regained her breath as she knelt while gasping arduously. Her entire body was soaked in perspiration. At present, she looked at Sheyan with a gaze of multiplied fear! Facing such a situation, Sheyan indifferently announced.

"It seems that you aren’t capable of suppressing that soul residue."

Taitish could already perceive that she had just committed a massive error. She immediately crawled along the ground and pleaded.

"Master, please forgive my audacity!"

Sheyan replied insipidly.

"To suppress this soul residue and prevent it from seeking you, would require me to expend a great deal of my energy. Won’t you give me a reason I should continue doing so?"

Taitish instantly answered.

"I am your eternal slave, master! I can do anything. Your will is the abiding jurisdiction of my life!"

Sheyan smirked.

"No, no, no. Perhaps your anxiousness is unnecessary! I can generously suppress this residue for another three days. Flee as far as you can, perhaps it won’t be able to find you."

Taitish smiled wryly.

"That is impossible. The strength flowing inside my body has already been purified by the sacrificial beast totem’s strength. This is a connection that cannot be severed. Even if I run to the ends of the world, it will track me down for all eternity. Once Jiejie locates that soul residue, my fate will become worse than death."

"Oh." Sheyan lazily replied. "However, my crew doesn’t seem to be lacking eh? With my illustrious reputation, recruiting other pirates would be a matter of quantity."

Sheyan’s current words were rather hypocritical. Though Taitish understood that clearly, she could only offer a complementing smile.

"Indeed, master can definitely do without my meagre strength. Still, I can at least become an exemplary figure of one renouncing the dark and seeking the light for you."

Sheyan scrutinized Taitish suspiciously for a brief while.

"Despite your former impudence of intending to murder me, I forgave you and offered you a chance! Didn’t you feel indebted to me then? Following that, you bravely led the front and opened the doorways of this ship. Yet, that is an inevitable obedience a loyal subordinate would do, an obligation you ought to fulfill as my subordinate! Am I not right?"

Taitish replied with a trembling voice.

"Yes."

Sheyan then continued indifferently.

"Despite being on the brink of death from your grave injuries in battle, I bestowed the strength I obtained from your sacrificial beast totem. Once again, you are indebted to me! Yet after restoring your life, you actually planned to repay me with traitorous intent. Do not deny for such a conduct would merely insult my intelligence. You must receive punishment!"

Taitish knelt to the ground in trembles.

"Yes."

Sheyan coldly declared.

"We can speak about your punishment later. But now, tell me all the information you know regarding this!"

As he spoke, Sheyan retrieved a long black rod from behind him. This rod was completely pitch black, as though been charred by smoke and baking fire; appearing utterly ordinary and mediocre.

Yet when he retrieved that rod, the candle flames within the captain’s cabin flickered; seemingly on the verge of extinguishing. One could clearly fathom that though the captain’s cabin was presently occupied with only Sheyan and Taitish, human figures were incessantly shadowing about along the walls; swaying, flickering and apparently wailing in anguish.

"This is……" Taitish started with her stupefied widened eyes. "Isn’t that the Baladine Bloodsail?!!"

Sheyan earnestly nodded.

"Indeed. When I first set my eyes on it, it had the shape of a sail. Yet, it has directly transformed into a rod now. I am ultimately lacking in my comprehension of occult magic, and I hope you can provide me with an answer."

Taitish pondered a little before responding.

"The gypsies’ flaw has always pertained to our influence out at sea. Three centuries ago, the influence of us gypsies, who are adept in divining the future, had expanded to an extraordinarily powerful state. Even several members of european royalty were being manipulated by Jiejie in the shadows. At that point in time, our foes identified this weakness and started operating out a sea. As a result, five consecutive Jiejies fell at sea, and the gypsy clan deteriorated from then."

"Following that, the gypsies reflected on our painful history. Then we heard the legends about a bizarre wood from Siberia of the extreme north, that one could build an unsinkable warship from it. After nearly a century, we used ironwood to build such a grand magnificent warship for Jiejie. Henceforth, we no longer needed to worry about our safety at sea. Regrettably, the gypsies’ influence had already spiralled down rapidly like a mountain cart, weakening to an extent worse than a tenth of our golden era."

When Sheyan heard these insider details from Taitish, his heart welled up with a perilous sensation; never did he expect such a hidden secret behind this. Then, he heard Taitish continuing.

"In recent few decades, the sayings of ‘ruling the seas is equivalent to ruling the world’ became deeply engraved in the hearts of man. Therefore, when the current Jiejie realized she could use loads of harvested sea eggs, to bring about the materialization of our ancient inherited sacrificial beast totems, she started searching for the blueprints required to craft a Baladine Bloodsail. The Bloodsail will make up for the deficiency of our flagship, the greatest flaw of this ship which you name as The Dingyuan!"

"Therefore, you are implying that the Baladine Bloodsail can substantially enhance the sailing speed of this ship?" Sheyan asked.

Taitish shook her head.

"Strictly speaking, this manner of thinking is wrong. Precisely speaking, the Baladine Bloodsail is completely incapable of generating wind power. It cannot increase the speed of a ship. Its only usage is to counteract the enormous deadweight of this ship. Putting this principle bluntly is actually rather simple - using the pulling forces of the vengeful spirits shackled by the Baladine Bloodsail to alleviate the deadweight of this ship."

Sheyan nodded and asked.

"Therefore, I need you to tell me now. How can I use this Baladine Bloodsail to ease the deadweight of this ship?"

Taitish responded apologetically.

"That is impossible, because the Baladine Bloodsail requires a commanding soul to quell the vengeful spirits within the bloodsail. That is something Jiejie’s two sacrificial beast totem can execute easily, but…"

"So it is like that." Sheyan contemplated a little. "I understand."

At this moment, Taitish became afraid that Sheyan would treat her as useless. She immediately added.

"Although there is nothing I can do with regards to the Baladine Bloodsail, there isn’t a problem pertaining to other aspects. For example that ‘Greenland Lethal Weapon’ you acquired at the auction. I can guide its installation onto this ship to display its full potential. Likewise for other precious ship components, I can direct their arrangements and optimize their efficiency."

Sheyan was moved by her words. Spike was totally clueless about occult magic. Therefore, he had advised Sheyan that even by dismantling the components on the Hill Maiden, it would be impossible to install them onto this ship. Right now, Taitish could make up for this gap.

Proceeding that, Sheyan produced that dark-gold grade material to inquire of Taitish.

Instead, she was utterly clueless about it. When she was contesting for it with Sheyan back at the auction, it was due to the outcome from her divination; suggesting it was best she acquired that object.

Nevertheless, Sheyan wasn’t very surprised by her answer. The Baladine Bloodsail and the mysterious material were both dark-gold grade objects. Wouldn’t it be simply too ridiculous if he could easily employ them?
