Chapter Ninety-Eight: Bone and Blood
Concept armaments can create cannons to shoot cannonballs, or they can create flying cannonballs, but the latter costs much more spiritually than the former due to the additional kinematics (considering that the former also sends artillery in addition to cannonballs).
But in a state of emergency, it works wonders. For example, when rapid displacement is required.
Aske grabbed the rocket and shot straight at the spot where the Emperor had disappeared. Just before reaching the finish line, he suddenly let go of the rocket and struck it in the air.
The rocket was kicked to the ground instantly, producing a violent explosion and thick smoke.
Bruno, the fantasy dragon, stayed calmly in the subconscious ocean, and did not rush to teleport back to the main plane with everyone, because returning at this time might not only suffer the damage of the explosion, but also be attacked by the other party in the smoke.
Although everyone is a demigod, there is an emperor who is not a demigod in the team, and there is also a chaotic duke who is seriously injured and needs to be healed as soon as possible, so it is not a rational choice to get involved in the battle again at this time.
Therefore, Bruno just quietly watched the billowing smoke outside, without any superfluous movements. The other demigods and the emperor did not say anything, as if they recognized his judgment...... Or maybe they just don't have any ideas.
Asker, who increased the time spent hovering in the air by using the force on the surface of the rocket to increase the height, once again had another rocket in his arms.
This time it was shot in the direction of Eleanor.
At this time, the blonde female knight was on the verge of collapse of her will, and she could no longer feel the outside world at all.
Eventually, the white light around her went out like a bulb that had burned the filament, and her delicate body fell back feebly, her fingers trying to pull the trigger.
At a distance of only about 20 centimeters from the ground, the rider on the rocket caught her body and snatched the gun from her hand.
It then landed, and the rocket was dissummoned and disappeared into thin air.
Asker hugged the unconscious Eleanor, and a third rocket appeared between the two of them, this time in the direction of outside the camp.
The rockets whizzed away with the two men. As he sensed the rapid disappearance of the two mental bodies, Bruno quickly brought everyone back to the main plane from the subconscious ocean.
"Chase!" Emperor Otto urged coldly.
Hedwig, the acid dragon, was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Carol, the key to knowledge, exclaim:
"Wait, this can't be!"
What can't be? Hedwig didn't react at first, but he stopped.
After all, Carol had been using the law to analyze the knight's "relevant knowledge" before. If there is any bad result in the analysis, such as the other party can open the Unyielding Holy Sword for the second time or something, then won't it become fatal if you chase it again?
And it may also be the first demigod in history to die because he didn't hear his companion clearly.
Therefore, he could only turn his questioning and scrutinizing gaze to the female demigod. And His Excellency, who has always been intellectual and calm, is at this time his expression is inexplicable, as if he is confirming something extremely important.
After about half a minute, when the patience of the Acid Erosion Dragon and Emperor Otto was about to come to an end, she spoke with a serious expression:
"Your Majesty! Your Excellency the Dragon of Acid Etching, Your Excellency the Dragon of Fantasy! β
"Please stop hunting those two departed for a moment, I have extremely important information for you!"
Carol explicitly identifies three people: Emperor Otto, the Acid Dragon, and the Fantasy Dragon, which means that this information is only known to the people of the Dragon Family.
So the other demigods walked away from them with interest. The Machine King silently walked to the camp exit on the other side, checking on Richardner and Leopold; The Duke of Chaos pulled the Furnace Flame aside and asked him how long the seal of his own brain hole could last.
Bruno, the dragon of fantasy, planted a psychic barrier around him to ensure that the surrounding sounds would not be heard, and then looked at Carol:
"Your Excellency the Key to Knowledge, what did you find?"
Carol took a deep breath, and then, in the most serious, confident, and unmistakable tone she could ever make, spoke:
"The knight's name is Eleanor."
The knight was clearly referring to the knight who wielded the sword, not the later intruder.
The name Eleanor...... Bruno immediately reacted to who it was, while the other two were somewhat familiar with the name and couldn't remember it for a while.
Just as Emperor Otto was frowning and about to ask a question, he heard Carol say again:
But that's not her original name. In the week after birth, her name should be Sophie. β
"Sophie!" When Emperor Otto heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly.
Sophie was a very ordinary girl's name, but Carol made a point of mentioning it in front of him, and it was obvious that this name had a special meaning for him - it was a special reference to someone, someone who was extremely important to Emperor Otto.
"That's right, Your Majesty." Carol said seriously, although her expression was equally stunned, obviously quite ridiculous about this matter, but her tone was convinced, "According to my law, the results can be further verified by the fact that you can find her." β
"She does have the blood of the dragon family in her body."
"She's your daughter."
ββββββββββ
Emperor Otto had a total of four children.
Five digits, to be exact. It's just that the eldest daughter Adelaide chose to enter the monastery to serve God and announced that she had severed secular relations, so Emperor Otto kept this secretive and generally did not mention this eldest daughter to the outside world.
The remaining four children are, in order of birth, Sophie, Matilda, little Otto and his twin sister.
The youngest daughter died of jaundice shortly after birth. The eldest daughter, Sophie (actually the second daughter), disappeared from the palace a week after her birth, so in the end ChΓ©ng RΓ©n only had a son and a daughter.
Princess Matilda and Prince Otto the Younger.
It can be seen that regardless of how the emperor boasted that "no one knows education better than me", in fact his imperial education was a complete failure: five children, one was lost, one died, and one publicly announced that he had severed ties (with the imperial family) in order to devote himself to scientific research.
The pass rate is not even 50%.
However, education and health cannot be 100 per cent in the strict sense of the word. Because no matter how conscientious parents are, they can't completely ensure that their children's bodies and brains will not have any problems in the process of growing up.
The only thing worth discussing here is the disappearance of the second daughter Sophie**.
A week after his birth, he mysteriously disappeared from the Grand Palais Aachen. For this reason, the emperor ordered the arrest of three wet nurses, ten maids and a hundred palace guards, but still no useful clues were found.
It was as if the little baby had suddenly vanished from the world.
After many years, the backstab of the goddess of fate has finally arrived. Now the emperor suddenly heard the news, and learned that his own daughter, who had almost forgotten about him and had disappeared inexplicably since childhood, suddenly appeared in front of him.
He also openly blocked the way and assassinated him, killed several of his brigades of blade warriors, beat three physics demigods to roll all over the ground, shot the head of the Duke of Chaos, tore off half of the dragon's wings like a roast chicken, and let go of the knights and soldiers of the entire camp, so that his grand plan to conquer the Holy See in the south was completely burned.
The most excessive thing is that the blatant verbal shouting to "him".
At this moment, Emperor Otto could not find a single word from Latin, Cyris or Frankish that could fully describe his current mood.
It can only be said that he is now confused, angry, crying and laughing, inexplicable, and......
β¦β¦ Ecstasy.
