I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

After thinking for a moment, Murphy turned to Sri and asked.

"Don't you feel that Ye is acting strangely?"

Siri didn't know why Murphy suddenly thought of Ye, but he nodded and answered truthfully.

"Something is not right. Whether it's their identity, knowledge, or abilities, they all seem strange and unpredictable."

Frankly speaking, such words are no different from nonsense; they are all ambiguous and unclear.

Murphy clearly didn't want to hear that, so he added another sentence at the end.

"It's related to species, it gives off a feeling of other species..."

"Related to species? You're not talking about succubi, are you?"

After thinking for a long time, Sri finally remembered what Murphy meant by the unusual thing.

According to Ye and Lao Ke, Ye became like this because this person was constantly purifying the succubus, and over time, he became like this.

However, while their oral accounts may contain factual information, the details are not necessarily accurate.

There's probably something else going on that hasn't been explicitly stated.

"A succubus?" Murphy asked.

This was indeed a semi-unfamiliar word for it; it found similar words in fragments of memory, but not many.

All it could know was that this thing was a demon that was born through reproduction.

"Well, they are a type of demon race with extremely high magical talent in the spiritual realm and mostly beautiful and exquisite appearances."

Most of them feed on reproduction and will actively seduce any creature they fancy, then devour its essence after mating with it.

It carries some risk, but it's considered one of the smaller groups among the demons.

When this thing was mentioned, Sri was also at a loss for words. After a brief pause, he gave a relatively objective definition.

Murphy nodded to indicate that he understood, and then remained silent.

They didn't ask why Ye had a connection with the succubus, nor did they ask for any other details about the succubus.

He stared at those few pieces of exquisite fabric, lost in thought for a while.

It is considering a rather interesting question.

Is the essence of this allure the same as the pheromones produced by spiders?

Pheromones only work on spiders, but charm can work on most creatures.

As for why Murphy would consider this aspect?

There is no other reason.

It has been considering that it can arouse a person's desire for reproduction.

Could we modify it to arouse desires in other areas?

For example, the fruit produced by the Blood Tree of the Strange Serpent.

After observing several times, Murphy discovered that after the goblins finished eating...

This will temporarily transform all emotions into anger.

Is this situation similar to the principle of charm spells?

Murphy thought it was very likely.

If Murphy understands this principle, could he use the same method as spiders to produce pheromones?

Could we also mass-produce items that can evoke a person's emotions?

But Murphy's goal in developing this technology was not to manipulate emotions.

Rather, it felt that this ability to manipulate emotions could be somewhat connected to the professional system.

The idea it came up with was actually very superficial and lacked any real logic.

After all, in a certain sense, the essence of generating emotions must also involve a kind of rule.

Even each different emotion can represent a corresponding rule.

Since these are rules, can a corresponding profession be formed based on them?

Therefore, making someone feel emotional might be equivalent to providing them with a job.

This conjecture is undeniably far-fetched, but it's just a conjecture, and as long as there's even the slightest possibility, it's not wrong.

However, before it could continue thinking, Diaz interrupted it.

"Our ship is one of the larger medium-sized ships, but it is relatively slow. However, it is stable and safe."

The damage to the goods was probably the smallest in the area.

Murphy then realized that he was watching the ship, so he temporarily put aside his thoughts and decided to deal with what he was doing first.

"Can't the sailing speed be increased?" Murphy asked.

This is actually a very efficient question.

To answer this question, we need to address the principles of ship navigation, what determines a ship's speed, and other related questions.

Diaz hadn't expected Murphy to ask such an expert question right away, so he paused for a moment to organize his thoughts.

He then began to explain.

"The sailing speed can certainly be increased... but our ship prioritizes stability,"

It uses a water core as its base because it can be deeply integrated with the shipping channel, thus mitigating some of the wind, waves, and ocean currents.

The price to pay for this is that the purity of the water core must be guaranteed before it can be used.

Unlike wind cores or fire cores, it cannot have things added to it at will.

After all, those two core components rely solely on sheer force to propel the ship, so their compatibility with the ocean is irrelevant.

Has shipbuilding technology undergone a revolution?

Siri, listening from the side, frowned slightly.

He was not unfamiliar with these ships in the north.

But I've never heard of this concept of a "core".

At most, you can see some magic circles used to maintain the ship's balance, and gravity spheres used to adjust gravity.

"That's true."

Diaz nodded, then pointed in the direction the Kulun River flowed.

"About ten or twenty years ago, the village chief of the village below suddenly came up with this so-called ship core, although it was only a rather rough prototype."

However, because the village chief did not keep it a secret, the technology on how to make this core quickly spread everywhere.

After perhaps four or five iterations, it has become the relatively mature form it is today.

Sri raised his eyebrows in surprise. This village chief was obviously Lynn's man.

Although he had long ago noticed from Lynn and Sylph's words and actions that the village chief was different from others.

But I really didn't expect him to have this skill.

Murphy remained calm and then asked:

"Can I see that core?"

"Uh... okay, anyway, our core hasn't been modified much, so there's no need to hide it."

Diaz thought for a while and realized that it was fortunate that theirs was a water core, which was basically a complete original product.

There's no special modification needed to hide it; you can basically see similar things in any shipyard.

So showing it to the other person isn't a big deal.

The main strengths of their ship lie in its control and weapon systems.

These two things need to be hidden away.

Diaz then agreed to their request and they went down the deck together.

After turning east and west, we soon arrived at a locked door.

Diaz took out his key, opened the door, and went in first, making way for the two people behind him.

As soon as Murphy arrived, he stepped inside.

Then he noticed the blue dodecahedral core that was constantly rotating on the base in the very center of the room.

However, the moment Murphy saw the core, he was suddenly surprised.

o_O

It originally thought that it would study the matter of seduction and such after it had seen the ship.

But after reading the core, he realized that it seemed unnecessary.

Because the core essence of this seems to be about using charm.
