Act 183. A Feast for Crows (Part I)
Listening to William's conversation with George, among all the people present, the most shocked was Edward.
He has always been proud to be the rightful heir to the Elbiore family, and although his father William is very stupid, as long as he can safely inherit the Elbiore family.
For Edward, the most feared thing is probably his uncle George, this serious guy often hinders his plans, Edward thinks, when he inherits the position of head of the family, he must send George to a remote and barren half-plane!
He is the master of the Elbiore family!
Unexpectedly, the truth is crazy.
Edward turned out to be the product of George's fornication with his mother, the guy he always hated, but his real father!
According to the rules, only the blood relatives of the eldest son can inherit the family, and in Edward's generation, only Arimia is eligible for this qualification.
In other words, in the future, the head of the Elbiore family will not be Edward, but Elimia!
For a moment, Edward felt his world change suddenly, and the wavering in his consciousness was directly reflected on his body.
In his cognition, he is the purest bloodline of the Elbiore family, after awakening the power of the bloodline, this power also penetrated into Edward's body, reshaping his body, and now, the cognition is biased, the power of the bloodline is uncontrollable, and it begins to backlash!
The magic that had been flowing steadily in his body suddenly reversed, like a fierce wave, quickly spreading to Edward's whole body.
"Ahh
Edward let out a scream, causing his mother, Anjie, to panic.
George walked forward quickly, took the trembling Edward from Anjie's arms, and poured magic into it, trying to neutralize the magic of the countercurrent.
But Edward's body has long been changed because of the power of the bloodline, and the countercurrent at this time is not an ordinary backlash, but an explosion that directly destroys the foundation!
At the same time, George himself was shaken by Reiner's previous research results, and had an argument with William, and in the midst of the magic turmoil, he could not completely control it.
Not only that, but the red powder that Edward had previously smoked had a strong corrosive and paralyzing effect on the spirit, which further exacerbated the power of the magic backlash.
All things come together, and this storm can't be stopped!
"It's all you...... You're the one who hurt ......."
Edward grabbed George's hand, his eyes bloodshot and his teeth gritted with disgust.
"Wait ......"
Before George could finish his words, he heard a bang, and the veins in Edward's body exploded.
Blood splattered to the distance, and George, who was closest to Edward, was covered in blood, and a viscous red liquid slipped down his face, while George, staring blankly.
Even if he can be saved from life, Edward's foundation as a mage has been completely destroyed, if Squib can still rely on his own efforts to learn magic in the future, then Edward, has been completely insulated from magic, just like his good friend Cologne, even unable to maintain a normal body, and can only show his weak face throughout his life.
"Ah!!h
A shrill shout broke the silence after the catastrophe, and Isis fell to her knees, her life shattered in an instant, Edward's backlash, her own life, everything that hit her spirit.
Although Isis's magic was mediocre, and the backlash caused by the altered cognition was not as severe as Edward's, it still severely distorted her spirit.
"It's not true, it's not true, it's not true...... Hahahahaha, this is not true!! ”
She muttered to herself, her head disheveled, and it was clear that Isis's consciousness was somewhat unclear and her consciousness was in a state of madness.
One wave has not settled, and another wave has followed.
"Ahh
A scream came from the hallway, and people saw a disheveled, fair-skinned woman running into the hall, unaware of what was going on, her face full of horror.
"Cologne, Cologne......"
Edward's second wife, Margaret's face was covered in splatters of blood, which was clearly not her blood, and before she could finish her sentence, she was shocked by what she saw, and fell to the ground in exhaustion.
"What's going on......
She was originally having a tryst with Cologne, but in fact, since marrying Edward, Margaret was dissatisfied with her brother, so she hooked up with Cologne, who was a frequent guest at Elbiore's house, and the two had been cheating on Edward behind Edward's back for several years.
But what I didn't expect was that Cologne, who had sucked too much blood rock, burst blood vessels all over his body halfway, and he died directly, and he didn't care about getting dressed, so Margaret hurried here, but saw that Edward was covered in blood, and Isis was crazy.
"Father, what's going on......"
Margaret wanted to ask her father William for help, but what she didn't expect was that William only gave her a cold look.
"Don't come near me, mongrel."
From Margaret's words and deeds, you can guess that William has no mercy for these two daughters now.
His own consciousness was a little turbulent, and a series of events made William feel exhausted, which was enough to destroy his cognition, but William persevered, and he controlled his magic with all his might, because he knew that if something went wrong here, then the entire Elbiore family would be usurped by George.
He was not reconciled!
He has been ruling the Elbiore family for so many years, but he didn't expect to be plotted by his younger brother.
He was not reconciled!!
And George, at the moment, is facing the same dilemma as William.
He looked up blankly, looked at his own son, and then at his own daughter, and he didn't understand why this was happening.
Edward's cognitive collapse, Isis's madness, Margaret's betrayal, what a perfect family it was, why was this so?
What exactly did he do wrong?
Don't the strong deserve everything?
Around the two of them, irregular waves of magic rippled, which was a sign that both of them were trying their best to suppress the disordered magic in their bodies, and their cognition was already on the verge of collapse, and they had no way back.
Bang –
Finally, with a low roar, another ball of blood exploded.
But the result was beyond everyone's expectations, and the person who was attacked by the magic was not William or George.
"How could it be ......?"
The man let out a whisper, as if in disbelief at what had happened, and his body could no longer support it, and he fell to his knees, his magnificent robe stained with blood, and the five gold trims on his cuffs were now dim.
Plop –
The sound of the body falling to the ground echoed in the huge banquet hall.
