Regarding which witch [Blood Devourer Kurum's Blood Coagulation Seed] was suitable for, Qin Song made a final decision.

Luna.

There are two reasons, the first is that the blood coagulation seed has the characteristics of a botanical system, which is more compatible with Luna's rich elves. The second is that Luna, as an early witch, has mastered abilities that solve one of the major problems in the development of the Blackstone Collar - food. The higher her star, the more capable she is, and the more powerful she will be for future development.

Of course, at present, there are actually only three witches who have passed through the ascension to the stars, Alice, Linda, and Elena, and even in the order of activation, it is Luna's turn.

The process of promotion is nothing new among witches. Taking advantage of his time resting in the jungle, Qin Song appeared in a dream and performed this sacred ritual for Luna in the presence of many witches.

[Blood-Eater Cullum's Blood Coagulation Seed] elevates Luna to a four-star witch, and as usual, adds a new ability, [Gift of Life].

God's Gift: [Gift of Life], limited to 1 time per day, consumes all mana, sows a seed of life, and grows into a vine of life controlled by the caster.

[Vine of Life]: A magical plant from a natural dream that can produce the fruit of life that contains magical power.

The skills granted are not much different from what Qin Song guessed, and they all come from the original characteristics of the star ascension items. It's just that because of the purification, its name and specific state have changed accordingly.

Judging from the skill description, in addition to having the same characteristics of growing fruits, the vine of life itself is active, and should be able to be controlled by the caster to attack or defend.

This reminded Qin Song of a skill - entanglement roots.

Perhaps, the vine of life can have the same effect.

This is equivalent to an additional range control skill for Luna, who is good at ranged attacks.

......

In the reception room, the sixth negotiation was again deadlocked, and the atmosphere was very dreary.

The focus of the stalemate between the two sides was the delivery of slaves. The latest order Heller received from Tevin was to divide the slaves into batches of about 400 men. But there is an additional condition, the Blackstone Collar must show enough sincerity to be the first to release some key figures, such as Martels.

This condition is not that it cannot be agreed, and the reason for Khalia's refusal is that they deliver slaves in equal batches, but they want Blackstone to deliver the higher status first, and the lower status first, according to the status of the captive.

The intention is obvious, they want to redeem the elite power as soon as possible while delaying time, and make up for their own strength. In this way, while strangling the Blackstone Collar, he can strengthen himself one step ahead and have more chances of winning.

The abacus snapped, but no one was a fool.

Leah verbally rejected the offer.

Heller, who is at a loss, has now also discovered Leah's temper, as stubborn and determined as ever, and the other party is the victor. No matter how much you procrastinate, it's just a waste of time.

Taiwen, who was standing on the side, exchanged glances with Heller lightly. Heller was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and his face was full of sincerity: "Leah, you should understand that I am just a messenger, and the bottom line is not set by me, I am just an endorsement." ”

"I understand your difficulties, Uncle Heller. Leah nodded understandingly, redeeming the noble Templar and asking a minor nobleman to come forward, what was originally valued was the blood relationship between them.

"But we also have our principles. ”

Heller smiled wryly, "That's right, Leah. The stakes are high, and information is slow. I think maybe we could negotiate in a different way. ”

"Another one?" Leah frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"That's right. Heller leaned forward, "It's about the Templars, not just about the Kingdom, it's about the Church. We can't keep talking and go on like this. So, the church suggested that if no progress could be made, it could be replaced. For example, a person who carries enough weight to represent the interests of the Kingdom and the Church and to have the authority to make the final decision. ”

"For example?"

"Your Highness the Princess. Heller said the name and looked nervously at Leah's expression: "Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess is in Waterdeep, I don't think there is a more suitable person than her." It doesn't matter if it's the kingdom or the church. ”

Her Royal Highness, Templar?

Leah's expression moved, as a former knight of the kingdom who aspired to become a knight of the Holy Spirit, the prestige of Her Royal Highness the princess was like thunder. As a royal daughter, she was gifted from an early age, and was personally guided by the Holy Messenger of the Church, and because of her devout faith and strong strength, she was named one of the only thirty-two Templars in the kingdom.

At the banquet in Waterdeep City, she saw Her Royal Highness the princess with her own eyes, and with a quick blow, she defeated Xia Qiya, who was excellent in martial arts. Moreover, she could be sure that if it weren't for the sake of survival, Xia Qiya would have been killed on the spot.

Indeed, as Heller said, there is no one more qualified to represent the interests of the Kingdom and the Church than Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Members of the royal family, disciples of the Holy Emissary, Templars, whatever their status, were the beings that Leah once looked up to. In the face of Uncle Heller, she can be calm and calm, and the clouds are calm and light.

But in the face of Her Royal Highness the Princess, can it be done?

Liya suddenly became a little nervous, the shadow of the name tree, the huge gap in identity, and the coercion brought to her over time are deeply rooted, and they can never be erased with a word of 'take it easy'.

Both Heller and Tevin sensed Leah's nervousness.

A trace of disdain flashed in Taiwen's eyes, and the villain was rampant, but in the face of absolute power, any disguise would be exposed, revealing the true fear in his heart.

A heretic, after all, is a heathen.

In the centuries-old history of the empire, there have been no powerful infidels, who may have been arrogant and reckless, or who were entrenched in one side and invincible, but in the end they all collapsed in the face of the great power of the Holy Spirit and became the dust of history.

This time, it is nothing more than a repeat of history.

Failure is nothing more than contempt and recklessness.

When the Holy Spirit confronts evil, victory will come.

The Templars, who are favored by the Holy Spirit, and the proud daughter of the heavens, are simply a crushing advantage over a little-known frontier lord who relies on the power of demons.

To be able to see you in person is to lift you up.

"Leah?" Heller saw that she was silent for a long time, and her heart was so frightened that she did not have the courage to face the true Spiritual Client.

But they all underestimated Leah's will, and she wasn't afraid.

Above all, what they think of as the infidels is nothing more than relying on evil and false forces to do evil and miser.

Blackstone Collar is not included in this list.

Ria has witnessed the Blackstone Lords go from decay to prosperity, the people from poverty to abundance, and the cruel and ferocious orcs to defeat again and again.

Facts speak louder than anything.

Facts give confidence.

The yearning for a better life, the understanding of true kindness, Leah sees it more thoroughly than anyone else, and is more determined than anyone else.

Not only faith in yourself, faith in the Blackstone Collar, but also faith in the gods.

That hint of nervousness gradually dissipated, and a smile appeared in Lia's eyes: "Very good proposal, it should save a lot of time." ”

Heller looked at Leah cautiously, "As for the meeting place, the church hopes that you can rush to Waterdeep City in person to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." Don't get me wrong, you're in for absolute security. After all, the Templars are a precious resource for the Church. ”

"Meet?" Leah raised an eyebrow, "That doesn't seem like a good word, does it?" Uncle Heller. This should be an equal negotiation, no, we are the victors and you are the losers. ”

Leah mercilessly exposed the status of both sides, which made Tatewen's heart rise a little angry.

"This ...... This ......" Heller looked embarrassed, the fact that Leah said, and there was still a sentence that was not spoken, that is, the Black Stone Collar betrayed the kingdom, and it was no longer under the jurisdiction of the kingdom, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship.

"The location is Cesar Territory, your territory. Ria took on the posture of a victor, and Cesar was in the middle of the road to Daotan Town, the only way to reach Daotan Town.

"Lia, Her Royal Highness the princess has a noble status. ”

Heller tried her best to persuade her, but was interrupted by Leah's words: "Choosing Cesar to lead has already given enough face." If there is no sincerity in this way, I don't think there is any need to continue this negotiation. We can do without slaves, and we can do without cattle, sheep and livestock. But your Templars will remain here forever until the end of their lives. ”

"This ......" Heller had no say after all, and his face was full of embarrassment.

"Uncle Heller, we're busy here, and we have a lot of urgent business to attend to. I think this is the last negotiation in the Blackstone Territory. If you and Natalie are willing to stay longer, Alice and I will welcome you with a raised hand. Of course, as a loved one. ”

This is the equivalent of an ultimatum and an expulsion order.

Because Leah can see that Heller is nothing more than a puppet and can't make any meaningful decisions.

Leah left them no room to maneuver and left the meeting room.

Looking at her resolute back, Tevin once again felt humiliated, where did the arrogant infidels get the courage to dare to talk to the Templars about equality?

It's really embarrassing.

If it weren't for the Orc attack in Waterdeep, it would have been necessary to deal with it with all its might. How can a mere heretic be arrogant until now?

The day the orcs are defeated is the time to destroy the Blackstone Territory.

A wry smile hung on Heller's lips and he sighed faintly.

Somehow, the ugly face of the so-called heretic in his heart never appeared in Leah's body. She is calm, wise, principled, and maintains a sufficient demeanor and friendliness.

And what Natalie described to him every night, there were crops that could grow in the winter, that the farmers could eat and live warmly, that their children could receive free education, that there was free medical care, and that there were shops selling all kinds of cheap goods......

In the scattered sights and hears, it shows an unseen and unheard of social scene.
