Chapter 249: Soul Hunger

Roy didn't speak, just looked Giovanni up and down, which made Giovanni very worried.

To be honest, this time the battle between Alantir and Roy scared Giovanni a bit.

The kingdom of Helais is actually composed of several large and small death lords and their territories, Giovanni, as a vampire count, also has a territory, but his territory is relatively small, in layman's terms, Giovanni is actually just a country lord, and all he can lead is a group of vampires and some low-level undead.

There are many country lords like Giovanni in the kingdom of Heles, and Heles is more of an alliance than a kingdom, and the necromancers come together because of the persecution of the mages of Bradaka and the common belief in Yasha, and they are united to protect themselves, which also makes the Kingdom of Heles have no so-called kings, and the various lords also have their own thoughts, not monolithic, but just maintain a superficial harmony.

And Arantir is one of the most powerful Death Lords in the Herais, this person who claims to have obtained the destiny of Asha has attracted the attention of the other Death Lords, and there are many small lords like Giovanni who think that Arantir will be the candidate to unify the kingdom of Herais, so they have taken refuge in his command.

Giovanni followed Arantir like this, however, after following Alantir for a while, Giovanni felt that he seemed to be following the wrong person!

Alantir didn't show much ambition, he didn't take the initiative to attack and integrate the territory of the other Death Lords, and most of Alantir's time was spent reading books and fighting demons, which in Giovanni's opinion, Alantir was like a nerd, no different from the mages in the ivory tower of the Kingdom of Bradaka.

When the people he originally admired were gradually seen and understood, Giovanni gradually gave birth to thoughts such as "Alantir is nothing more than this", so ambition gradually grew and wanted to replace Arantir.

It's just that the enemies that Alantir has encountered in the past are so weak that they can be easily defeated by relying on the undead troops under his command, so that Giovanni has never seen the death incarnation summoned by Arantir, and it can be said that he knows nothing about the existence of that ghost dragon!

It wasn't until today, after Arrantiel met Roy and summoned the Death Incarnation to fight Roy, that Giovanni realized that Arantir, a damn nerd, had actually defended himself......

The status of the vampire count is indeed not low within the vampire, but if you want to make an analogy, Giovanni's combat power is at most comparable to that of a mid-level and upper-level demon, before that, Giovanni was quite confident in his strength, but after he saw the death incarnation of Alantir and the strength shown in the battle with Roy, he was afraid, glad that he had not had time to challenge Arantir's position, otherwise, he would probably be the one who died.

Giovanni still has a bit of eyesight, and he can also see that whether it is the demon in front of him or the death incarnation of Arantir, what he shows is extraordinary strength, especially the demon in front of him, he can actually suppress Alantir and the ghost dragon he summoned with one enemy and two enemies, which is definitely not something that an ordinary high-ranking demon can do.

Not even a powerful Death Lord like Alantir could please this demon, and Giovanni easily made the comparison.

Even if you want to take refuge in the strongest, you have to take refuge in the strongest, right?

So Giovanni didn't hesitate to make the decision to work with this demon!

He knew very well that compared to a necromancer like Alantir, cooperating with a demon might have a better result, because the demon had absolutely no interest in ruling a kingdom of the undead, and with the right operation, he Giovanni might be able to use the power of this demon to become the king of the entire Hales!

Of course, this is also Giovanni's decision to find out through observation that the demon in front of him may be a clever devil, if Roy is a grumpy demon, Giovanni would not have thought of this trick, and he was afraid that Roy would tear him apart......

Giovanni waited anxiously for Roy's response, and Roy looked at Giovanni with just as much interest.

Speaking of which, Giovanni is the second vampire count Roy has ever met!

This first vampire count is naturally Dracula in Van Helsing's world, but that Count Dracula is just a vain name, not to mention only three or four hundred years old, and he is so weak that he can't even use a little normal magic, and now this Count Giovanni feels a lot stronger.

"Well, Your Excellency Count Giovanni, the vampire!" Roy's tall body stood in front of Giovanni, looked down at him, and said with a cruel smile: "Although I am curious about why you betrayed Arantir, but now does not seem to be the time to ask about this matter, I am more curious about why you, Alantir, and this army of the undead appeared in this desert of death, don't tell me, you are here for me!" ”

"Not really!" Hearing Roy speak, Giovanni secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said: "In fact, Alantir led the army, just to find the tombs of ancient warriors in this desert, he is planning to gather a large army, go to Erathia, he will meet you, and it is just a coincidence......"

"......I see," Roy was relieved, I said, how could it be so coincidental, so he nodded and asked, "Since you were from Alantir before...... Collaborator, then, do you know what the hell is going on with his ghost dragon? Under normal circumstances, would a necromancer be able to summon such a powerful bone dragon? ”

"I don't know......" Giovanni looked a little confused, and said, "Actually, it's the first time I've seen him summon such an undead creature......

"Let me put it another way...... Roy asked as he stared at him closely, "Does Asha's power really still exist in this world?" ”

"Impossible!" Hearing this, Giovanni shook his head without hesitation and said, "If anyone really can get the power of Asha, he may become a new dragon!" Just like Saairan at the beginning, but that was nearly a thousand years ago, and the ghost dragon of Arantir could not have been the power given to him by Asha, I prefer to believe that it was just a powerful death creature beyond common sense...... Even if Arantir claims to be the Chosen One of Asha, it is only his own claim, in fact, the death lords of the entire kingdom of Halais have not received any revelation from this! ”

"In other words, you chose to cooperate with him before, but you just wanted to take advantage of his claim, right?" Roy saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.

"That's right!" Giovanni nodded and said, "If he is really the Chosen One, then under the divine revelation, the entire Death Lord of Helais would have gathered under his command, and we will all worship him as king, but as you can see, Heleth is still in a state of fragmentation...... All I can say is that, with such a declaration, he is only a candidate for the king. ”

"In that case, he's just a mortal and can be killed...... Roy muttered as he touched his chin.

The reason why he is so obsessed with it is not because of the reason why Alantir led the army to attack Roy once, Roy wanted to kill Arantir, in fact, it was because when he was fighting before, Roy flashed to Alantir's side and slashed him, and what happened when he was blocked by Arantir.

During that brief encounter, Roy clearly felt the frost sorrow in his hand, and a longing emotion came!

At that time, Roy didn't even realize what was going on, and only later realized that the longing emotions conveyed by Frost's grief were actually the soul of Alantir!

In the Dark Lineage World, after Frost Sorrow was reinvented by Utan, it has a special attribute: [Soul Hunger]!

According to Roy's understanding, if you want to upgrade Frost Sorrow to an artifact-level weapon, I'm afraid you need to make this sword have something similar to a tool spirit, that is, let this sword gain consciousness, according to the description of the [Soul Hunger] attribute, if Frost Sorrow is held by other creatures, it will continue to absorb the soul of the other party to enrich itself.

And Frost Sorrow has always been held by Roy, and Frost Sorrow will not absorb the soul of Roy's master, which makes the sword itself remain in an empty state, and this time when Roy came into close contact with Frost Sorrow, it seems that Frost Sorrow's soul was perceived by Frost Sorrow!

Alantir is a powerful necromancer, judging from his fanatical belief in Yasha, his ideological will and moral character are extraordinary, so his soul must be different from ordinary souls, Frost Sorrow recognizes the strength of his soul, so he wants to get Alantir's soul, so he sends a thirsty signal to Roy, hoping that Roy can use Frost Sorrow itself to kill Alantir, so that Alantir's soul will be absorbed by Frost Sorrow.

This was all Roy figured it out after the fact, no way, this was the first time that Frost Grief gave him a signal, and it was normal for Roy to not react for a while.

Since Frost Grief wanted it, of course Roy was willing to give it, so after confirming that Alantir did not have Asha's power behind him, Roy began to think about how to kill Arantir......
