Chapter 103: Boiling Blood Beast
Hopland, home of Nissos.
In a small hall in the mansion, Fenton received two guests.
Delicate brass chandeliers dye the interior in bright colors under the ceiling, red velvet chairs edged with mahogany armrests, and a few small glasses and a transparent glass flask with an amber liquid that ripples in the candlelight, the Cointreau wine unique to the House of Nissos.
"Lord Fenton, there's a fire at the brewery." A housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, then reported.
"Well, got it, send a team to put out the fire."
Fenton waved his hand and casually commanded, in the past, this may have been a big deal, but today the matter discussed with these two guests is extraordinary, and the fire is not so important, anyway, there are many breweries in their house.
When a guest on the other side heard the news, he had a new idea.
"Do you know the cause of the fire?"
"It seems that some employee was dissatisfied and deliberately set the fire."
"Oh, that's interesting." He elongated the pitch slightly.
"Master Fenton, I don't think it's as good as hitting the sun, or today."
"Today? In such a hurry? Fenton was a little surprised.
"Yes, not quite ready, but almost. Besides, acting earlier can also catch you off guard. ”
Fenton didn't answer immediately, he put his hand on his chin, kept rubbing, a little shaken and hesitated, and the butler next to him was a little confused, so he had to stand by and continue to wait.
The two guests were not in a hurry, and one of them picked up the flask, and the orange liquor poured out of the jug, and with the slight sound of water, the three glasses were filled.
Fenton took a deep breath and looked at the chandelier overhead.
Candles that burn nearly half-way are inserted in the lampholders, illuminating the paintings in the corners of the ceiling that tell the story of the rise and prosperity of the Nissos family.
The picture begins with a fruit seller driving a horse-drawn carriage, then a scene in the countryside where he asks a farmer for advice, then a drawing of him sitting in front of a house with his wife with his child in his arms, and then a scene of the child having fun with his friends as an adult.
Then a young man stands in a harvest orchard, boxes of grapes under a thick vine trellis, and the sky is a vivid blue.
...
The penultimate picture shows the young man sitting in the room with a sad face, opening the clay pot, which contains rotten grapes, and beside it there are many stacks of clay pots and scattered grapes.
The last picture shows him holding a wine glass, flanked by several close friends, dressed in different clothes, some like alchemists, some like priests, some like peasants, some like nobles, and some like toiling workers. The men stood next to the young man, also holding wine glasses in their hands, and looked at him with a smile on their faces.
"Meet friends with wine, regardless of whether you are high or low."
This is the motto left by the first head of the Nissos family, but as time passes, only the first half of the sentence is valued by the family, and the second half of the sentence has not been mentioned for a long time.
Fenton closed his eyes, and it was a long time before he opened them.
"It's too urgent, the old man won't agree."
"But the old man is old after all, and it's time to rest, if you can't make up your mind, then who else in the Nissos family can call the shots."
Fenton took a deep breath, picked up the glass in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.
"Okay, then today!" Then the empty wine glass snapped on the table.
When the two people on the other side saw it, they also smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all.
Fenton stood up, put on his coat, and commanded the butler.
"Call all the guards in the house, gather in the courtyard, and inform the people of the city branch to come to the master's house to gather."
The butler agreed in surprise, and then prepared to go out, when another sentence came.
"The old man, send someone to take care of him, and don't let outsiders contact him."
"Yes, Lord Fenton."
The butler quickly left the small hall, and then the bell in the Nixos Chamber of Commerce rang, and the voice was rapid and heavy.
Fenton stood in front of the window, watching the crowd moving downstairs before turning around.
"Now that the House of Nissos will fulfill their covenant, when will you show me your promise, the two young masters of House Tisiphone."
In the bright candlelight, the two young men also stood up.
"Lord Fenton, please rest assured, just now, Master Zenep has sent us a message that the 'Giant God' has been activated, Anemiy's side has already reached a consensus, and we have also obtained the last piece of the puzzle for Tisiphone, and we are ready to act at any time."
Under the light, the shadow of the black hair obscured the face, and the wanton smile appeared at the corner of the mouth, it was none other than the Adelie of the Tisiphone family.
-----------------------------
On the other side of Hopplain, on a small bridge in the middle of nowhere.
Bard stared blankly at the silver-haired girl in front of him, under the cold moonlight, the crimson clear pupils, and the dreamy face gave him an unimaginable impact in his life.
The more you lack something, the more you will crave something.
It is precisely because of his bad appearance that he is often ridiculed by others that he has always had low self-esteem, and he has become more and more envious and even admires those who are good-looking.
Lorain Hill looked at the young man in front of him, and the voice of the system was mechanical in his head.
Mission: Answer Bard's questions and receive a reward of at least 60% for his completion. (20% progress so far)
Rewards: For every 20% progress achieved, you will get a chance to draw a lottery, and when you complete 100%, you will receive a Transcendent Creation Recipe.
This time it was much easier than Pullman's, and the girl breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, after all, her personal self-problem was still easy to solve, and she was not as big as Pullman's.
99% of the problems in a person's life are not enough strength (money), the so-called strength to break the skill, a sword to break ten thousand laws is to make him strong enough.
"So, do you want to gain power?"
The girl's soft voice sounded, matched with the silver hair and red eyes, like a demon god under the nine shadows, tempting mortals to drink the forbidden poisonous wine.
Bard looked at the red eyes that seemed to be able to inhale the soul, and his throat moved, as if he replied.
"I think."
"But you have to pay the price and make an oath that you cannot break."
"I do."
The silver-haired girl floated slowly, and red particles of light began to emerge in the air, and then continued to converge into the amber fruit in the palm of her hand.
If you want to ask which transcendent sequence has the strongest attack power and the easiest to achieve quickly, it is undoubtedly the demon sequence.
This dangerous sequence, inherited from the True Red Empire, has been a desperate killing since its birth, and it is extremely terrifying to both people and oneself.
The fruit of that transcendent maple tree, with its stable properties, is a panacea with a wide range of applications, and it is the best way to neutralize this dangerous magic power.
The crimson crystalline fruit, like a ruby, flew in front of the boy, and he stretched out his hands to hold them in his palms, and then swallowed them in one gulp, and the burning magic began to flow through his body.
A pain that began at the end of a blood vessel began to spread throughout his body, and the pain was so severe that he was almost numb to consciousness.
"Concentrate your mind and follow my commands." The girl's soft voice sounded in his head, and the pain was relieved a lot, and he began to try to concentrate.
Although Bard had never learned supernatural knowledge or had any experience in cultivating supernatural powers, under the leadership of the mythical player Loren Hill, as long as he followed the guidance of magic, he could do so.
In Loren Hill's transcendent perception, a blood-red gem began to form in Bard's body, beating slowly like the heart of a giant beast.
Finally, Demon Sequence 4 - Boiling Blood Beast has been achieved.
