Chapter 498: An Undercurrent in Calm
In October, at the end of the rainy season, the leaves are constantly blown up and blown down by the wind.
On the flat earth, a long army was advancing.
"Is this Kalad City?"
Walking at the forefront of the army on horseback, looking at the huge city standing in front of him, Lela muttered to herself, a hint of inexplicable smile flashed on her face: "It's really high enough..."
"It's kind of an old antique, right? ”
On the side, Slim was dressed in black, looked at the city wall in the distance and added: "These city walls like these are rare in the newly established cities on our side, they are completely obsolete, and they have no other use except to hinder the expansion of the city." ”
"Don't say that. Lela smiled on her face: "At least, those bloodline runes engraved on this wall are still very bluffing." ”
Looking at the city wall in the distance, he said with a smile.
For the powerful royal descendant, the existence of the city wall does not have much effect, no matter how high and thick the city wall is, it is impossible to stop any first-class royal descendant.
What really protects you are the runes engraved on the walls.
These runes are a means developed by the royal descendants according to their own bloodlines, and they are a way to use the power of the bloodline, which is somewhat similar to the wizard's witch array, but a little different.
In battles between kings, these runes can play a great role, and the stronger the king, the stronger the bloodline runes will be.
For example, the city of Calad in front of him, as the royal capital of the Karad Empire, this city has condensed the runes of at least a dozen third-level kings, and the runes among them are accumulating day by day, and when it comes to power, even if a real third-level existence is standing here, I am afraid that it will not be able to break the city for a while.
Unfortunately, strong fortresses are often broken from the inside.
Although the defense of the city in front of him was strong, for Adil and his party, it did not even do the slightest obstacle.
As a prince who has been in the limelight all these years, Adil has a dazzling reputation within the Kalad Empire, and has reached a peak in the past few years, making countless people look up to him.
In addition, he himself is the rightful prince of the Karad Empire, and no one dares to stop him from entering the royal capital in the name of visiting his father's corpse.
"Your Highness, please come in!"
In front of the gates of Kalad City, outside the open gates, an old man dressed in red and smiling welcomed Adil into the city.
This person was none other than Lu Xiu's uncle.
As a big nobleman, Lu Xiu also has a family behind him, and his strength is even very strong, even in the entire Karad Empire, he can be called a powerful nobleman.
And with the rise of Adil in Arca Prefecture, Lu Xiu's status in his family is naturally rising, and there are more manpower and material resources that can be mobilized and influenced.
With this connection, and Adil has been in the limelight all these years, it is not surprising that the family behind Lu Xiu will take refuge in Adil.
"Please get up. ”
In front of him, glancing at the old man in front of him, Adil had a little smile on his face, looking like a personable prince, without the slightest rebelliousness and bad temper.
Taking advantage of the gap when Adil turned around, the old man secretly looked up at Adil in front of him, and then he was directly stunned.
In his eyes, Adil in front of him was like a sun high above, emitting a huge light, and the terrifying majesty that was extremely terrifying, as dazzling as a god, made people dare not look at it directly.
On Adier's body, a hideous being with a human hand and a snake body, covered in red scales, was hissing, and its form shocked anyone who saw it.
Suddenly, the old man took a sharp breath, and the eyes that looked at Adil couldn't help but change and change, and the awe and fanaticism in his eyes almost turned into substance.
"The Crimson Son!
Looking at Adier's back and thinking about the terrifying scene he had just seen, the old man's heart suddenly became excited: "A son of crimson who is at the pinnacle, the position of the king, who else is qualified besides this one!!"
Adil didn't know what the old man behind him thought, but he could guess some.
After coming to Kalade City, the power of his originally restrained bloodline was directly activated by him, and there was no longer the slightest concealment, but it was directly and generously revealed, so that everyone could feel it.
And in this state, he could clearly feel that in the direction of the palace in the distance, there was an extremely fiery bloodline power blooming, faintly connected with the crimson bloodline on his body, exuding a hideous qi.
The Crimson King!
"Definitely the Crimson King..." 、
Looking in the direction of the palace in the distance, Adil thought faintly in his heart.
With such a powerful and fiery, terrifying source power, who else could there be in this city but his target this time, the Crimson King?
However, in his senses, there seemed to be some changes in the body of the Crimson King, causing the aura on his body to be a little unstable.
This is the result of the induction of the bloodline.
The bloodline on his body, after being activated and continuously purified by himself, was infinitely close to the first ancestor, that is, the Crimson King.
The strong synchronization of the bloodlines will bring a strong sense of the bloodlines, so that both parties can feel part of each other's information.
Even, when Adil looked in that direction, a vague sense alerted him.
On the distant earth, when he looked in the direction of the palace, there were also people in that direction looking here, and a pair of red eyes manifested in his heart.
"The Crimson King..."
Glancing into the distance, Adil thought to himself, and then followed the team in front of him, heading towards his place this time.
And at this time, in the distance.
At the moment when Adil looked at the palace, on a certain palace in the depths of the palace, a young man who was playing with a ball was aware of it, and glanced in the direction from which the induction came.
The young man's eyes were red, as beautiful as the purest rubies, and a pair of elegant black gowns matched his body, making him look like a noble man from above, looking down on everything below.
"His Highness Karl, what's wrong?"
At the moment when the boy turned around, behind the boy, a somewhat worried voice sounded, with some sorrow.
"It's fine. ”
Listening to the voice, the young man turned his head and looked at the girl standing quietly behind him and smiled gently: "I just saw an interesting person." ”
"Is it His Highness Sisoka of El Kar?"
Behind the young man, seeing the young man say this, the sorrow on the girl's face did not diminish in the slightest, but became more worried.
"It's him. The young man nodded, then put down the ball in his hand, got up from the spot, and gently touched the girl's head: "But even if it's him, it doesn't matter." ”
"I'm the strongest. ”
Looking at the girl in front of him, he spoke seriously, and in his eyes, a pair of ruby-like eyes did not seem to change.
"Crimson King, how much have you recovered at this progress?"
In an empty hall, in the middle of the hall, a large red coffin was placed in the center of the hall, sprinkled with some bright red transparent liquid, and a person was lying inside.
It was a tall man, only about thirty years old on the surface, with a majestic body densely covered with bright red scales, and a snake tail slowly spreading on the legs below.
It can be seen that the man is dead, not only is he not breathing at all, but even the flesh and blood on his body have lost their vitality, just a mass of dead flesh.
But despite this, in this man, the domineering and domineering temperament of the king is still revealed, with a terrifying majesty, which makes people dare not look at it directly.
Standing outside the red coffin, looking at the man, feeling the contours of his face that fit his memory perfectly, Adil sighed softly, a little sigh.
Lying in the coffin in front of him was the master of the entire Karad Empire, King Kurid, who was also the father of Adiel's body.
After arriving in Kalad City, in order to confirm some things, Adil took the lead in front of King Kurid's corpse and examined the corpse of the other party.
"The flesh and blood of the corpse have withered completely, and the activity and blood of the entire body have been completely extracted, even if it is me, relying on the ability of the chip, it is impossible to be more complete than this. ”
Looking at the corpse in front of him, Adil sighed lightly, and some of the original guesses in his heart were completely confirmed.
The King of Kurid in front of him was definitely drained of his blood by the Crimson King and died.
Except for the Crimson King, who is the ancestor of the bloodline, the rest of the people want to extract the bloodline from King Kurid's body, although it is possible to do it, but it is impossible to do it so completely, and there is not even a trace of the vitality of the bloodline.
Even, judging from some traces on the corpse in front of him, King Kurid did not resist at all when he was pulled out of his bloodline, and directly let the other party withdraw the blood in his body.
Likely, when King Kurid was in front of him, he understood the identity of the Crimson King.
"Carl..."
Rubbing his forehead and looking at the corpse in front of him, Adil muttered the name.
Karl, the royal heir appointed by King Kurid before his death, is the de jure heir of the Karad Empire, and one of the most suspicious targets in Adiel's opinion.
Based on Adiel's understanding of King Kurid from memory, this king has a weak concept of family affection, and has always only valued the strong. If you really want to choose a successor from among the princes, you will only choose the strongest ones, and it is impossible to choose a young prince who is still a minor.
Of course, this alone does not tell anything, but it is just a bit of an accident.
"However, since I want to take the throne of this king, this prince Karl, sooner or later, I will have to match. ”
Looking up at the corpse lying quietly in the coffin in front of him, Adil waved his hand and motioned for the person next to him to close the coffin.
"Calculate the time, it should be coming soon..."
Walking out of the hall, Adil looked up and muttered to himself as he looked at the bright sky outside.
At this time, it was almost the time he had agreed with Kaidoze and the others. Judging from his senses, the other party should have arrived at this time, but he didn't know that he was still lurking, so he didn't choose to make a move.
Since the other party did not choose to make a move, Adil naturally could not help the other party take the lead, so it was naturally a stalemate.
However, this stalemate is destined to last short.
With the passage of time, the power of the Crimson King is rapidly recovering. For this, Kaidoze knows better than anyone.
Therefore, in his heart, he must be full of urgency at this time, as long as the preparation is completed, I am afraid that he will immediately take action and try to solve the Crimson King.
"Even ants know to stay away, but this city, I'm afraid it doesn't know its next fate..."
Looking at the insects that kept crawling outward on the ground, Adil spoke softly.
At this time, Kalad has completely turned into a bomb, and several ancient kings are lurking in this city, even if there is no fierce battle at this time, but the qi between each other, the momentum and will are still fighting silently, covering every corner of the city.
The instinctive senses of wild beasts are often much stronger than those of intelligent life. At this time, they all instinctively felt the danger when they felt this confrontation between qi and machine, so they kept rushing towards the outside world, away from Kalad City.
A few days later.
Time gradually passed, and in the course of several days, the atmosphere in the city became more and more tense as the foreign nobles continued to arrive.
King Khurid is dead, but the Karad Empire cannot be without a king. So, during this time, the succession of the new king began to be proposed, so that the two princes were gradually brought to the limelight.
When it comes to jurisprudence and justification, of course, it is Prince Karl who was appointed by the previous king to take precedence. But when it comes to strength and fame, it is undoubtedly Prince Sisok of Elka who is far ahead.
The two princes had their own advantages, so they were constantly mentioned during this time, and their respective supporters continued to wrestle, secretly not knowing how many times they fought.
It's just strange that no matter how serious the wrestling between the two supporters is, the two have remained calm, as if the matter has nothing to do with them.
"Your Highness, the nobles outside say that you should be the king, why don't you stand up and inherit the king?"
On a cliff, Carl was dressed in a modest robe, and beside him was the maid-like girl.
Beside Carl, the girl was dressed in a maid's dress, and was chattering crookedly, hugging her prince.
"You. ”
Listening to the complaints of the girl beside him, Carl rubbed the girl's long hair with a smile, and then said with a smile: "I haven't said anything in this matter, how can you make it seem like you are more anxious than me." ”
"Of course I'm in a hurry about Your Highness..." Rubbing her hair by the young man's hand, the girl blushed with shame, and while secretly looking at the young man in front of her, she said in a slurred voice: "Moreover, I also want to see Your Highness look like you wearing a crown..."
"If you want to see it, I'll just wear it for you next time..." Touching the girl's head, the boy's movements gradually stopped: "But now, it's not going to work... The king's position, whoever likes to sit on it, go up. ”
"Why..." The girl blushed, plucked up the courage to look at her prince and asked.
"Because, there are more important things waiting for me to do. Gently straightening the girl's long hair, the boy smiled: "Moreover, besides the prince Siso, I have several guests to receive..."
"Kaidozer, Akara, do you say?" he looked behind him, where, unconsciously, several shadows hung over him.
