Chapter 121: The Eighth Ancestor
Cross didn't have a clue, he still couldn't understand why the old god Kzur wanted to tell Cross how to suppress the bloodline backlash, at least, with his current understanding, he couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Nia, who was sitting next to Cross, asked with concern. "Lord Cross, are you feeling better?"
Nia's inquiry interrupted Cross's thoughts, and he nodded, looked at Nia, and then at Link. He put aside some of his doubts about the old god Kzul for the time being, and now, he had more important things to do.
"Nia, Link, have you all seen it? This symptom of mine is very horrible, so I only told you, and you have to keep it a secret for me. ”
"Don't worry, Lord Cross, I'll keep this secret. Nia was the first to speak.
"Link, what about you?" Cross looked at Link.
"Your Excellency Cross, I have a few questions to ask. ”
"Asked. ”
"Can this 'hemagagulation' only be suppressed by magic?"
"Yes. ”
"That's the real reason why Your Excellency is looking for magic and magic, right?"
"That's right, I wouldn't have lived long without magic. You've also seen Link, this 'hemagagulation' attack consumed a whole bottle of magic potion. ”
"Lord Cross, I have a hypothesis that this 'blood coagulation' is related to your demon-drinking physique, and this symptom is incurable.
However, I have a wonder why this symptom has only started to start now, I have never seen you have such symptoms before. ”
Cross chuckled, "Once I use my strength, it will accelerate the onset of symptoms, and I used too much power in this battle in Blackwater. ”
Link nodded thoughtfully, and then sighed, "It's not easy for humans to survive......
And Nia blamed herself when she heard Cross's words, "Lord Cross, I'm sorry...... If I were stronger......"
Cross gently touched Nia's head, "Nia, your performance is already very good, this battle is my carelessness, I am too underestimating the enemy, and then I will investigate the commander of the enemy army."
Also, Link, I may need you to provide me with some mana in the future, my magic potions, there are only two bottles left. ”
"Lord Cross, for the sake of your life, if you don't say I'll do the same. However, I can only provide you with a small amount of magic through magic, but this is not a long-term solution, and if you can, you need to find a wizard as soon as possible. ”
"Alas...... How can it be so easy to ......"
"I can help you, Lord Cross. ”
"Oh, do you know the wizard?" said Cross, who suddenly felt hopeful.
"It was a long time ago, but that wizard dwelt in the Twilight Mountains...... I, a wood elf, will not be able to reach her residence. ”
Hearing that the wizard lived in the Dusk Mountains, Cross was instantly a little helpless, "Alas...... That will have to wait until later. When Copper Mountain Town develops, I will recruit a group of adventurers to go to the Dusk Mountains, and if I want to go now, I'm afraid there will only be no return. ”
Link also understands the dangers of the Twilight Mountains and agrees with Cross's plan.
Cross actually has another thing to ask about when he asks Link, and this matter is about Tina.
"Let's leave the magic behind for now. Link, I have other things to ask you, do you know the Eighth Ancestor of the Bloodline?"
Link was shocked when he heard this, obviously, Link, who had lived for so long, knew about it.
"Well, of course I know, but Lord Cross, why did you suddenly ask me this, did you...... Tina, she ......"
Cross didn't intend to hide it, Tina's righteousness in this battle was admired by Cross, but her rampage this time also attracted Cross's attention.
Cross doesn't want a time bomb in the team, he needs to know Tina, he needs to know him well, and the easiest place to break through is when Tina inadvertently says the "Eighth Ancestor" during the battle.
"Yes, when I fought Tina the rampant, she said she was the Eighth Ancestor. ”
"Eighth Ancestor......" Link muttered to himself, his expression still stunned.
Cross wasn't in a hurry, he knew that such a bumpy news needed to be given time for Link to accept.
After a moment of silence, Link spoke, "Let me tell you the story of the Eighth Ancestor of the Blood Clan first. ”
"Good. Cross and Nia listened.
"The Bloodline has seven ancestors, and they are the product of a contract between seven human nobles and demons.
After becoming a blood clan, they often torture and kill humans, which can not be helped, this is the stipulated in the contract.
How could humans be the opponents of these Blood Ancestors, so some people in the human race conducted crazy research on the Blood Clan, and the purpose of their research was to defeat these seven First Ancestors.
Eventually, a wizard came up with a crazy hypothesis, 'By creating an Eighth Ancestor, you can defeat the Bloodline.' ’
This assumption was opposed by the majority at the time, but there were many supporters of the wizard.
So, they started experimenting, human experiments!
The Eighth Ancestor they wanted to create had one condition, that is, it had to be controlled by humans, and only in this way did the assumption of the Eighth Ancestor make sense.
So, they first cast mind control magic on all the subjects, regardless of the subject's rejection, and then they infused the blood of the seven ancestors into the subjects.
This is the human experiment of the Eighth Ancestor.
However, the effect was very poor, and almost all of the test subjects died after being transfused with the blood of the seven ancestors of the Bloodline.
As a result of the ensuing failures, the Eighth Ancestor's experimental team gradually disbanded, and in the end, only the wizard who proposed the hypothesis was left.
His persistence led him to continue experimenting, but he suddenly found that there were no slaves left as test subjects.
Just when he was desperate, his son and granddaughter found him.
The son and granddaughter lost their homes to the war, and they had to temporarily return to the wizard's residence.
However, they were nothing more than test subjects for wizards who had fallen into madness.
The son and granddaughter were hypnotized, and then injected with the blood of the seven ancestors, while the desperate wizard also injected the remaining blood of the ancestors into himself.
Both the son and the sorcerer died, and their bodies were completely consumed by the blood of the ancestors.
However, the eighth ancestor was born.
That's the wizard's granddaughter.
The power of the Eighth Ancestor is superior to that of the Seven Ancestors, but she also has great flaws.
That is, it is easy to go crazy and go berserk. ”
