Chapter 604: Killing Blood
The faint sunset remained on the earth, and at this moment only a little remnant sun remained, and it seemed that it was about to dissipate.
Walking side by side with Gruul in the city, Adil looked around quietly.
Affected by the war, the city was surrounded by exiled victims, dressed in rags and with accents from other places, presumably from far away.
In the streets of the city, frozen corpses lay to the ground, some with stiff faces, others with bloody faces and obvious wounds.
Even worse were the corpses of some women, stripped of their clothes, frozen corpses naked, covered with hideous and bruises, apparently what they had experienced in their lives.
Looking at this scene, Wendy closed her eyes a little unbearably, just quietly hid behind Adil and followed him forward without saying a word.
At the tragic situation in front of him, Adiel's face was calm, and he had already seen too much along the way, so that he was numb.
But the appearance of the road made him a little surprised.
"Under the Duke of Senai, after the capture of Carlo, many lords took the opportunity to plunder, and the disaster caused to this area was not as bad as the original massacre. β
On the side, seeing the scene around him, Grull spoke, and the words seemed very calm, obviously used to it.
Beside him, Adil was a little silent.
The power of the kings of this world is not centralized, not the kind of centralized power, but the feudal system.
The so-called king is only the largest lord, and there are many independent small lords under it, united to be a kingdom.
The same is true of the kingdoms of Senai and Tamru.
The kingdom of Tamru suffered from internal strife due to the internal strife of the lords, which led to the defeat of the battle and the fall of the southern fortress, and the kingdom of Senai also had similar problems.
Fortunately during the previous war with Tamru, many nobles under the command of the Duke of Senai were able to concentrate on launching an offensive against the southern fortress. But after the capture of the Southern Fortress, the situation quietly changed.
In order to make up for their losses in the war, some lords burned and looted the territories they captured along the way, destroying almost everything they could see.
The consequences of this behavior are even more serious than the massacre of Orff in the first place.
The so-called massacre of a city, in the final analysis, is just the slaughter of people in a city, and in terms of the size of that city, there are no more than 100,000 people in the sky.
But the consequences of these lords looting, burning and looting along the way, and destroying production, the number of dead and injured is far from hundreds of thousands.
However, Grull did not feel any pain in this situation, but had a faint joy in his heart.
Looking at Adil beside him, he pointed to the victims everywhere below and said, "Let them continue to loot." β
"The more they loot and the more people die, the better it will be for our future counteroffensive. β
"The lords will hate the plundering of their lands, the church will resent the death and wounding of believers, and the populace will miss our rule because they have experienced the cruelty of outsiders. β
"With these, in the future, we will counterattack Carlo, and the odds of victory will increase by at least two percent!"
He smiled, looking at the tragic situation in front of him, with some joy from the bottom of his heart.
After saying this, he specially observed Adiel's reaction.
After listening to what he said, Adil remained calm and did not seem to have the slightest emotional turmoil.
Beside him, the girl named Wendy had a wrong look on her face, and seemed to be a little disgusted by his words.
However, for Gruul, it was enough to determine Adiel's attitude, and as for the girl, she was just an ordinary maid, and he could give as much as he wanted.
"After passing this city, we will reach the territory of Viscount Asiri. β
He raised his head and looked at the city in front of him, and seemed to be able to faintly see a huge castle standing in front of him: "In a way, he is also my father-in-law, but in this case, his attitude is difficult to say..."
"Yasuo, the next few days will depend on you. β
He patted Adil on the shoulder and said to him with a solemn face.
"I understand. Nodding slightly, he glanced at Gruul, who understood.
For the next few days, they crossed the city in front of them and galloped along a road at a rapid pace.
Along the way, it is not without accidents.
The war between several countries brought chaos to the region for several years, during which time some bandit bandits quickly sprung up in various regions, robbing pedestrians along the road, and even abducting and selling victims, and engaged in the slave trade.
Adil and Gruul traveled all the way, and finally ran into each other a few times.
Needless to say, the results are true.
There was no need for Grull to think of a way, Adil single-handedly defeated all these robbers and robbers who dared to rob the road, and even in just a few days, there were many more people behind him.
"My lord, in two days, you will be able to reach the castle of Viscount Asiri..."
In front of a campfire, some people were sitting here. Among them, a middle-aged man with a rough face and a suit of obviously ill-fitting leather armor carefully held a piece of freshly roasted meat and carefully placed it in front of Adiel: "The meat has been roasted, please use it." β
The middle-aged man in front of him was called Hiraya, who was originally the leader of a small group of thieves, and led dozens of people to rob the road along the road, so that he could not die and touched Adier's body, and was finally directly defeated by Adil alone.
After being defeated, Adil did not kill them all, but only expelled them.
But after these people saw Adier's force, they finally followed him and spontaneously followed Adil, wanting to be Adil's followers.
For these people, Adil didn't care, but Gruul's eyes lit up and asked Adil to take these people.
"When I am about to return to China, I need people to do a lot of trivial things, and although these people are rude, they can also save some effort. The day before, Grull had said to Adiel.
So, Adil took these people in and let them follow him and take care of some trivial tasks.
"Thank you. β
Taking the piece of meat wrapped in oiled paper from Hillaya's hand, Adil nodded in thanks, and then secretly tested it before biting down.
The taste of barbecue is not flattering, the so-called charred outside and tender inside is true, but it is charred on the outside, and the inside is not cooked at all, and even the blood on the inside can be eaten in one bite.
There are no special condiments, and the craftsmanship of these followers in front of them is even inferior to Adiel, and of course they can't expect to make something delicious.
But as for the taste of things, Adil doesn't care either.
At this moment, his mind was all attracted by some kind of change in himself.
"Inexplicable power, somewhat similar to blood, but with the characteristics of soul power... The so-called killing power?"
Quietly biting into the barbecue, Adil had countless thoughts turning through his heart.
In the past few days, after killing some robbers and beasts on the side of the road, he felt the changes in his body.
When he starts killing, the scarlet mark in his body will spontaneously emerge, gaining a little bit of power from the killing, and then feeding back, growing a little scarlet power on him.
This kind of power is somewhat similar to blood energy, and it also has the characteristics of soul power, which in Adiel's opinion, may be more appropriate to describe as killing power.
In Adier's body, these killing powers had just taken shape, and they spontaneously wanted to go to Adiel's body, but they were suppressed by Adil with his own origin and did not spread to his body.
"Once I absorb these killing powers, my power will expand rapidly, but correspondingly, I will also be affected by these killing powers, and my temperament will become more and more fierce, until I finally completely become the spokesperson of the killing power, that is, the so-called son of killingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Standing in place, silently deducing the changes in his body, Adil came to such a result.
The drop of blood that Orff gave at the beginning was like a seed of killing, and with Adil continuing to kill, he would eventually slowly transform into a real son of killing, and he would be accompanied by killing all his life.
After figuring this out, Adil was still confused in his heart.
What is the purpose of the other party's desire to make him a child of killing?
Limited by intelligence, this question can only be buried in my heart for the time being, waiting for the answer later.
However, for these killing forces generated in his body, Adil has already made up his mind in his heart.
"These killing powers cannot be absorbed directly. β
Feeling the boiling killing power in his body, as well as the desire to kill that kept rising in his mind, Adil secretly shook his head and made this decision in his heart.
Absorbing these killing powers, although they can become powerful in a short period of time, they will be affected by the killing power, and they will slowly penetrate over time, and slowly become a great change in temperament.
Adil was not in the slightest interest in this.
He has better options.
"Purify these killing powers and transform them into pure other divine powers, so that you can avoid the disadvantages of these killing powers and make full use of these powers..."
Recalling the many messages in his mind, various thoughts flashed through Adiel's mind: "It's just that in order to do this, in addition to the necessary secret method, another medium is needed. β
The necessary secret method, Adil naturally has, comes from the corpse of the god that was devoured in the misty world at the beginning.
The original god corpse was already on the verge of the boundary of the gods of this world before his death, and he was only one step away from being truly a god.
But at the last moment, it was destroyed by another real god, not only failed to seal the god, but also died directly, and its corpse was knocked down into the endless void, slowly drifting into another world, turning into a golden god corpse.
Inheriting the memory of this golden god corpse, Adil knows a lot about the gods despite his weak strength at the moment. What is lacking is nothing more than how the world has changed over the years.
And right now, the killing power in Adil's body was born from the killing mark in Adil's body, and this killing mark came from the drop of killing blood that Orff had entered Adil's body.
If you want to transform the power of killing into another power, in addition to the corresponding secret method, there is at least one thing that is the same as that drop of killing blood.
"The blood of the gods..."
Adil slowly opened his eyes, and looked up into the distance at this moment: "It seems that this time there is another target." β
