Chapter 576: Scroll
Beatrice had heard a lot of legends. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The myths of the Titans, giants and serpents, the glory of angels and lords in the heavenly realm, the stories of warriors defeating evil dragons and saving princesses, and of course, the wars of knights, mages and witches that only exist in fairy tales.
Now, watching Wu Ming's movements, her little face turned pale with fright, almost linking him with the male witch.
She had been through many terrible things, but none of them could compare to the weirdness of this time.
After Wu Ming had mixed some potions and extracted some blood, he began to sprinkle some powder on Alfred's wounds.
Immediately, Alfred's entire corpse began to dissolve strangely.
First the skin, then the muscles, and then the white bones...... Everything is like a strange magic that makes a person slowly disappear.
After completely dissolving the corpse, Wu Ming got a basin of yellow pus.
"Next, it is necessary to further remove impurities, as well as purify ......"
This is just a simple technique, precipitation, layering, and can be done with simple physics knowledge.
He was so engrossed in his experiments that he almost forgot that there was a Beatrice next to him.
The morning light is faint.
By the next morning, Wu Ming looked at the blue liquid in front of him, which was only about a pint, and was silent.
"Sure enough...... The blood of Thaler the Conqueror is mixed with the blood power of high-ranking creatures......"
He sprinkled in a handful of white powder and looked at Beatrice, who seemed to have stood stiff all night, "Tell me...... What do you see in this? ”
Wu Ming pointed to the surface of the blue liquid and asked solemnly.
"I saw ......"
Beatrice's eyes were also blue, and she looked at the blue container in a daze, and muttered in a confused voice, "Dragon! I saw a blue dragon flying in the sky! ”
"Sure enough...... The blood of the blue dragon? ”
Wu Ming immediately determined the source of the bloodlines of all the blue-blooded nobles, and even Taler the Conqueror: "Dragonborn?!" ”
Dragons are terrifying creatures in any world, and are capable of bonding with almost any race to produce half-blood and half-blood offspring.
Moreover, next to their own residence, powerful energy will form radiation, creating a group of servants.
This kind of influence, naturally, is quite terrifying.
"Judging from the fact that Thaler's bloodline has been passed down for so long, and there is still such power, either this blue dragon is amazingly powerful, or Thaler himself has a breakthrough ......"
Wu Ming looked at the blue blood in front of him, but shook his head and smiled: "These blue bloods, if they are purified a few more times, should be able to reach the level of the descendants of Teller's direct line within three generations...... But ......"
I have to say that he basically can't look down on this bit of bloodline power.
This is true even after purification.
"It can add blood to this Beatrice next to her...... Or to make knight's holy oil, if you want to develop your strength in the future, you can't do without it......"
"Anyway, this waste is still somewhat useful!"
Wu Ming put the blue blood into a black jar, sealed the mouth with wax oil, and then looked at Beatrice next to him: "Are you frightened?" ”
"Huh?"
Beatrice was startled, and then she sat down on the ground, only to feel that her hands and feet were no longer her own.
"You stand all night, your hands and feet are stiff, just rest for a while, and then move a little more......"
Wu Ming indifferently packed everything up, leaving no trace, after all, if other people, even the church, found out about this place, it would be easy to be regarded as a cultist or something bad.
"After breakfast, you're going to follow me into the city and get ready to go to my fiefdom!"
He added.
"Fiefdom?"
As the daughter of a nobleman, Beatrice is very sensitive to this: "Master, you have become a knight!" ”
"Not bad! I don't know which manor I'm about to be rewarded, but I can't escape the legacy of the death knights of the last war......"
Wu Ming sighed: "I'm afraid there will be a little trouble at that time." ”
He washed his hands and ate the bread and roast with Beatrice that he had brought yesterday.
At this time, Wu Ming was not idle, but took out another copy of Alfred's inheritance, the parchment scroll shrouded in transcendent light, and studied it carefully.
Beatrice burrowed her little head with some curiosity, and was disappointed to see that the parchment scroll was only a map, which might be hard to find for the mercenary group, but for the nobles, the value was mediocre.
"The aura above is not such a simple thing......"
Wu Ming's fingers rubbed against the surface of the thick parchment, feeling a deeper secret, and couldn't help muttering, "Spell Secret Lock? Interesting? ”
The perception was released, and he knew that the scroll had been disguised in a small way, and that without the key, ordinary people would only be able to see this kind of image.
"It's just that by chance, I happen to have this key!"
Wu Ming took out a table knife: "Cut your fingers and smear the blood on it!" ”
"Yes! Master! ”
Beatrice's little hand trembled a little, but she still acted obediently, and the red agate-like blood beads fell on the scroll and melted again.
"Ah......h
Beatrice exclaimed, looking at the place where her blood had smeared, lines of writing began to appear.
In the blank space of the original map, dark brown appeared one after another, and there was an emblem of a pentagram.
Pentagram!
The status of this emblem in the Western world is similar to that of Wu Ming's previous life Bagua Diagram, which represents mystery and some kind of high-level magic circle.
"Sure enough...... The key to unlocking the scroll is still blue blood! ”
For this group of nobles' pursuit of blue blood, Wu Ming already has a deep understanding: "Five-pointed star...... The four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, together with the spiritual energy of people, represent a powerful magic circle and power ......"
He first took a closer look at the intricate and exquisitely structured pentagram circle, and then turned to the words.
"In the year of flowers and green leaves, after the third harvest moon has passed, the red fierce star pierces the sky, and the ancient sleeping serpent is about to awaken......"
Wu Ming carefully read the words on the scroll: "It seems that it is still the same prophecy, but it is a little more accurate. ”
He continued: "Descendant of the inheritance of blue blood...... Follow the oath of the Five Kings of the Ancients and fight against the Serpent of Destruction, and the power of all the people will be with you! ”
The original map also changed at this time, and some lines were redrawn to create the appearance of a treasure map, and there was a blood-red dagger symbol somewhere.
"Looks like it's a secret somewhere, maybe some oath or something, it's worth exploring......"
Wu Ming estimated that the danger of this hidden treasure was not small, otherwise it would have been dug up by Alfred a long time ago.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the inheritance is broken, and he does not know how to open this scroll at all.
"It's a good catch......"
Wu Ming pulled Beatrice: "Let's go, go to the Earl's Castle ......"
"Master!"
At this time, Beatrice suddenly spoke: "Can you teach me magic?" ”
"Huh? Do you think I'm a wizard? ”
Wu Ming laughed dumbly, and suddenly felt that what he had done, in the eyes of the little girl, might really not be much different from those evil wizards: "Do you want the power of magic to go for revenge?" Nice idea! ”
With Beatrice's physical strength, as well as her own flaws, becoming a knight is quite difficult.
Perhaps, all she can use is the power of magic.
"It's a pity...... I'm not a legendary wizard mage, and I don't have the power of magic......"
Wu Ming said lightly, unsurprisingly seeing a look of disappointment in Beatrice's eyes, he shook his head and smiled, and his words suddenly changed: "But I can train you and stimulate the power of your original blue blood...... I want to warn you in advance, it is a completely different method from the knight's baptism, and it is also the original power of blue blood that is discovered, what will become of it in the future, it is really hard to say, do you want to take this risk? ”
"I do! Master! ”
Beatrice almost didn't hesitate to agree.
……
Wuthering Castle.
"Ah...... Dear William, I have heard about your 'record' yesterday, it is unbelievable! ”
As soon as Baron Terry saw Wu Ming, he immediately surrounded him, and the expression of worship on his face was almost like a devout believer seeing a god coming.
"Passed the prize......"
Wu Ming was very amused in his heart, no wonder the expressions of the maids and noble ladies who passed by just now were so subtle, especially the jealousy of the men's inferiority, which made him very speechless.
"You must teach me this skill!"
Baron Terry threw his wife and children out of the clouds, and the two talked and laughed for a while before they got to the point: "What? William, do you want your clan name? ”
In this world, commoners rarely have surnames, and the surname is a source of blood, which represents the inheritance of blood and is proof of nobility, or at least once noble.
There was a rare hint of apprehension in his voice, for fear that William would choose his family's surname.
Wu Ming naturally didn't know that Baron Terry had already had a very subtle association when he saw that he could use the dragonheart, and he was falling into the subtle emotions of how to avoid the family scandal.
"I'm going to pick up a new one, what do you think of 'Wallace'?"
"Excellent! Very good! ”
Actually, as long as you don't call your family name, you're fine.
Baron Terry was relieved: "Looks like you've already figured out your last name and badge. ”
"Well, I'm going to use an olive branch and a tulip for the badge, with a cross sword in the middle!"
Wu Ming nodded in acknowledgement.
"In that case, I'll give you one more piece of news!"
Baron Terry had a relaxed smile on his face: "Your territory has been decided, just below the Tucker Mountains, lucky guy ......"
I don't know why, Wu Ming felt that his smile contained a lot of flavor, and even a hint of jealousy.
