Chapter 13: The Patriarch
There will be a total of thirteen patriarchs, but at this moment, there are shadows swaying in the dark space! Because each shadow looks similar, it's impossible to tell who is the source of the strange sound! In an instant, the patriarchs were in a predicament where everyone was in danger, and they looked left and right in panic. It's not that no one wants to escape, but the Sealed Magic Circle that envelops the castle has become an impassable cage, and as long as it continues to function, the castle will be isolated from the world forever.
Fear and panic quickly filled the dark space, and the tension in the air was almost suffocating. However, the ill-intentioned intervener also held a demonic pleasure and remained silent among the fourteen, allowing the fear to continue to creep in. Mentally under unspeakable pressure, the elders' breathing gradually became heavy and began to become cloudy, and if it continued for a while, this invisible pressure would completely destroy their spirits.
Although it would not be a big deal to abolish them here, considering the position of the Balumina family, the man still restrained himself a little. A crisp snap of his fingers sounded in the darkness, and the light gradually shone out of nothingness, quickly banishing the darkness away.
It had been a room almost as spacious as an opera house, with pure white shadows from top to bottom, and the senators were standing on the high steps in front of them, their faces frozen in horror, but the men who had made them so frightened were sitting on top of the void with their legs crossed, looking at them with a condescending smile, and their expressions were almost like the embodiment of demons.
At the moment of witnessing that smile, the ice blade condensed by fear slid behind the elders' backs, and no one needed to say anything about it to comprehend the fact that the demonic man was in his hands. Whether it's this castle or their lives......
They couldn't figure out what his intentions were, and they didn't dare to risk their lives casually, and everyone watched nervously as the man's throat squirmed. But he couldn't say a word - not including Anika, of course. She had sensed the all-too-familiar fluctuation of mana almost immediately, and the man's voice was just as familiar to him.
Anika looked up at the man and watched as he was viciously silent, continuing to sow fear in the hearts of the patriarchs, shaking her head slightly. "It's really ......"
You don't have to think about it to know that it's Camilla who sues him. Originally, when he received the wedding invitation, Anika made up her mind not to let these things disturb his life anymore. However, the fate of fate is not something that can be cut off simply by cutting off the earth. Finally he came over! Just when she needed help the most, she stretched out her strongest arm!
"Why did you come here...... Stupid ......"
An indescribable feeling swelled up in Anika's heart, and the uneasiness and grievances that had existed a moment ago were like lies, and they were replaced by a faint sourness. But the intoxicating warmth of Anika seemed to be about to shed tears.
"Hey, don't cry!" He didn't know when he came to her. Looking at her on the surface, Xiàn's voice looked nervous because he was overwhelmed.
“…… No, I'm going to cry......" Anika pursed her lips, and then simply lowered her head and sobbed, and hot tears fell to the ground, splashing fine crystals. In the memory of being sensible, even if she is sad and wronged, she is always used to facing it with strength, but the warmth that quietly spreads in her heart makes her can't help crying.
It's the first time Inika has lived to know the fact that joy can also make people cry.
"Hey! Why are you crying? This isn't for you at all! The man seemed to be getting more and more flustered.
(I know, it's not all your fault...... Anika covered her face and retorted inwardly.
"I know! Those guys are bullying you, right? He said.
(I'm not going to cry because of these guys, you're the one who makes me cry...... Anika still retorted in her heart, but the man took the initiative to determine the reason, and the pitch-black demonic qi rose from his body, and the demonic qi condensed into a chaotic nothingness in his right hand, and the nothingness stretched outward, and the shape of a long sword was almost ten meters long, and as long as he waved casually, he could take the lives of the thirteen people in front of him.
The patriarchs watched as the ruined blade reached out in front of them, but they couldn't move...... No, not only could he not move, but he could not even speak, and I don't know when this space was taken under the control of that man, and it became his domain, and what was in this realm could not continue to exist unless he gave him permission.
"Wait! Don't kill them! If it weren't for Anika hurriedly speaking out to stop her, the thirteen elders would probably be in a different place at this moment, but the way she pleaded for her opponent while sobbing was really confusing, and he couldn't help but scratch his head and show a look of crying and laughing. It's okay to let them go, but how long are you going to cry, Anika? ”
"Woo...... I don't know...... "It's the first time I've lost face like this when I've grown so big, and Inika simply buried her head in his arms, and an expensive suit was used as a substitute for a handkerchief, and it was smeared with traces of tears and saliva. "It's all your fault! People can't stop! ”
……………………
Probably because of the addition of Aya's past debt, Anika cried for more than half an hour before she barely calmed down. Then, at Yihao's suggestion, the elders hurriedly vacated the best room in the castle for her to rest, and then stood in a row in the living room to listen to Yi
Show.
"I know that Caesar privately provoked a war between the Dark Guild and the Demon Hunter Association, and I also know that you are just trying to weaken the Balumina family's plans." Yihao sat on the sand, and his eyes swept over the thirteen elders in front of him in turn. "But I'm not going to rebuke you, I just want to sue you for something."
Although the person in front of him was only a small hairy man in his early twenties, he exuded a dignified majesty on his body—it is said that Dakris, as the founding patriarch of the Dark Union, certainly has the qualifications to put on a show—and Yihao's perception also directly affected the elders of the Dark Union, bowing their heads to him one by one, and posing as a deferential gesture.
"I'll be in charge of settling the affairs of the Demon Hunting Association first. What should the Dark Guild do or what do they do...... And it is precisely because you have spent all your energy on the boring things of vying for power and profit that alchemy has not made any progress in these hundreds of years! Yihao slapped the table violently, and the hearts of the elders also beat wildly.
"You! That's right, that's you. Stand up. Yihao pointed to one of the old men with a white beard and dressed as a gentleman and told him to stand up. Look at you as the oldest of the thirteen. What level of alchemy has it reached? Is it already possible to use Supreme Alchemy? ”
"You...... You say 'supreme alchemy'...... Is it the 'supreme alchemy'? The old man who was asked asked honestly and fearfully, as if it was hard to believe that Yihao would ask him such a question.
"Nonsense! Supreme alchemy is supreme alchemy, is there anything else! Yi Hao casually condensed an ice cube in his hand to demonstrate, and watching the ice cube change freely in his hand, the eyes of the thirteen patriarchs, including the old man, all glared out!
"This is it. Will you? Yihao confirmed again, and the old man shook his head violently. No? So will any of you do? Yihao's gaze swept over the rest of the elders. And the number of convulsions suddenly increased to thirteen.
"No one will? And in this way, they have all become veterans of the dark union...... Relying on the dark union, when did it degenerate to such a point......" Yihao sighed heavily, as if the Wanguan family property had been destroyed by his descendants, and the patriarchs bowed their heads in unison like students in training.
"Don't look around over there. That's what you're talking about! Stand up for me! Yi Hao hooked his finger at the young man standing on the far right, and it seemed that he was the youngest of the elders. How old are you? When did you start studying alchemy? ”
"Greetings...... Uh, mentor. I am 27 years old and have been studying alchemy with my father since I was 9 years old. Young Jin replied with a trembling bow.
"Have you studied for eighteen years......" Yihao nodded, seemingly satisfied with the title of "mentor". "Well, I see that your qualifications are not bad, although you have not yet reached the 'four' realm of supreme alchemy, but you should master at least one or two of the four major elemental powers of fire, wind, water and earth, right? Tell me about those two? ”
"Uh......" The poor young man suddenly broke out in a big cold sweat on his forehead, looking down at the expensive crocodile leather shoes on his feet, he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time, but his face was swollen and red. That one...... The power of the elements you are talking about...... I'm a ......."
"Got one of them? That's not bad either. Yihao rarely put on a kind look, thinking that Su zhì of the dark union has not degenerated to the point of being unsightly after all, Cheng Dù may be able to guide this little guy if he is free in the future......
"No, I'm a ...... None of them have been able to grasp it. Only then did the young man finish his words.
"Get out!" Yihao immediately flew up and kicked him away, because he didn't pay attention to the power control in anger, the young man directly knocked over the coffee table and sand behind him, and a pot of black tea was all poured on his head, but he didn't scream, he got up in pain, and stood up in front of Yihao.
The rest of the elders did not express any complaints about Yihao's sudden atrocity, and looking at their trembling appearance on the side, it seemed that they had fully identified with the identity of the "mentor" of the person in front of them.
"It's kind of a kid." Yihao looked at Jin Qingnian with admiration. "Sue me by your name."
"My name is Gu ...... Gullett Mentor. "The young people are more and more respectful to Yihao.
"Good, Gurlett, I wrote it down." Yihao nodded. "With your qualifications and this perseverance, you should have reached the 'Four Great' realms long ago, but until now, you haven't been able to master even a single elemental power...... Can you tell me what you've been doing in the past 17 years? ”
"Hmm......" Gulllett's face flushed as if he were about to drip blood. Seeing Yihao pointing the finger at Gulet, the rest of the elders unconsciously showed a look of relief, but Yihao did not plan to let them go.
"And you! All of them have the excellent blood of the supreme alchemist, but they can't even compare to a previous alchemy apprentice! What a name! In this way, the heavenly realm can send a team of angels down at will, and they can clean you all up, do you know? Yihao rebuked them loudly, and when he said angrily, he slapped the poor coffee table into slag, and the elders also trembled at the same time.
Without exception, they are the descendants of the ancient family, and they all wield the power that belongs to the Red World, and they all hold the supreme wealth and power in the mortal world. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are beyond the reach of the dust. However, their understanding of the Red World made them know that the Qiē they enjoyed was simply insignificant and vulnerable in the eyes of the strong people of the Red World.
Legions of service to God may come at any time
It is easy to take away their power and wealth. and even life, and they are not recorded in ancient books. Alchemists who have reached the "Four" realm, with the power to annihilate the angelic legions, have become the only salvation they can hope for, which is why they will study this ancient spell at any cost, but it is getting further and further away from the glory recorded in ancient books.
In their eyes, it was simply unimaginable for Yihao to use the power of supreme alchemy at will! Therefore, the patriarchs saw in Yihaodi the possibility of a new hope. No matter how calm you are, you can't help but get excited.
"Damn! The more you talk about it, the more popular it gets! Yihao bit his lip and made a decision. If it goes on like this, don't talk about the Dark Guild. Sooner or later, alchemy will be lost in your hands...... Listen to me! For the week beginning today, I'm going to tell you in person what true alchemy is! Anyone who dares to be absent will get out of the dark union immediately! Clear? Answer me! ”
"Yes...... Be! After a moment's pause, the patriarchs scrambled to answer.
……………………
"That'...... The guy ......" Anika stroked the door frame as if she was out of strength, but her body still slid to the ground.
Previously. She cried in front of everyone for more than half an hour, and she had never lost such a face since she was a child, so she hid in the bedroom adjacent to the living room in the name of "resting". Then he buried his head deep in the bed, and no matter how much Camila tried to persuade him, he refused to come out.
It didn't take long for the sound of Yihao's roar from the living room next to her, and Anika was naturally very curious about it, and then got out of bed and slipped to the bedroom door, quietly pushed the door open a slit, squinted one eye and peeped, but was immediately shocked and speechless.
What she saw was the scene where Yihao scolded the old man to the point of blood. The old man was the head of the Wallis family, which controlled one-third of Germany's wealth and had a significant voice even in the European Union, but at the moment he was scolded by Yihao so much that he couldn't even speak......
Anika subconsciously closed her eyes, took a deep breath several times, felt herself regained consciousness a little, and then opened her eyes. This time, she saw the scene of the golden young man being kicked by Yihao, and at the same time, she felt a more violent impact than before, and couldn't help but shake twice.
The young man was the head of the Adolf family, and the Adolf family controlled almost all the arms transactions in Europe, and was known for his ruthlessness. After taking over the throne of the family, Gullette set about forming a private guard that was almost comparable to the national army, and unified the European underworld, and the power under it was like a natural ...... Simply kicked out like that?
The rest of the patriarchs are all big men who stomp their feet, and Europe will tremble, and they don't even dare to return their mouths in the face of Yihao's angry scolding? What the hell is going on in this world...... Anika couldn't help but moan, and then it wasn't until Yihao announced, "Whoever dares to be absent will get out of the dark guild immediately!" Only then did she sit down on the ground.
Perhaps Yihao himself was not conscious, but at the moment of his declaration, some kind of terrifying fact was born.
The world is divided into the mortal world and the red world, and the people of the mortal world do not know the existence of the red world, but the power of the red world affects the mortal world at any time. The Dark Guild is one of the largest organizations in the Red Order, which has divided Europe from the Holy See since the Middle Ages, and now almost dominates the entire European mortal world.
Now, however, the top leaders of the organization have surrendered to Yihao, what does that mean...... Anika shook her head, feeling her mind start to get confused again. Both Napoleon and Louis XIII had such dreams during their lifetimes, but such great people died on the way to their dreams due to the lack of support from the Red World.
And at this moment, the dream of most of their lives was fulfilled here, and it was only a simple declaration that Yihao took half of Europe into his hands......
Anika stared blankly at the majestic figure, and a memory of him automatically came to mind: the only son of the Demon Hunter Iron Gate, the reincarnation of the mortal dark demon Dakris who was favored by the strongest gods, and the Nordic hero Siegfried...... Finally, there is the young emperor Penglai who is surrounded by countless gods.
It is inconceivable that fate would put so many laurels on the same life, and any one of them would be enough to crush more than a dozen people, and Yihao alone bears all the ...... If you have a little ambition, a finger is enough to turn the earth over two or three times, but Yihao has not changed from beginning to end, and he is still the young man who has no quarrel with the world.
It's just that what Dakris couldn't do, and what Siegfried couldn't do, was done in his hands one by one.
Anika couldn't imagine what kind of power it would take, and suddenly she had a wonderful feeling, could it be that the brilliance of Dakris and Siegfried was so dazzling that people would ignore the brilliance of Yihao himself? If so, then what is the brilliance of Yihao......
"Anika!" A sudden sound interrupted her musings, and she saw Yihao in the living room waving at her. "Don't sneak around there, come here! Take me to Chris's workshop, and I'm going to give these guys a good lesson! ”
