Chapter 296: Heart Eater (6800 Words)
ps: It's very slow to write today, I'm sorry~ I can't open my eyes, I haven't revised it for the third time, and I'll change the typos tomorrow morning, let's go to bed early, good night~
"Your Majesty, Shadow of Daybreak has made progress!"
Stanley's first words when he saw Li De made Li De's mood instantly feel much better.
But looking at Stanley's smiling face, which was more ugly than crying, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his attention was quickly diverted.
You're a blood clan, our good-looking camp was pulled down by you alone, and if you look ugly, you will be kicked out of the camp......
However, although Stanley has a hideous scar on his face, he is actually not ugly, his temperament is cold and elegant, and he has a cold handsomeness, but the scar on his face makes people feel extremely disobedient and ruins his handsomeness.
Li De shook his head, but still turned his attention to business, leaving this scar was Stanley's own choice, and no one could say anything.
"Tell me."
The Shadow of Daybreak project is in Stanley's sole responsibility, and Stanley can make decisions on his own except for important matters, so there are many things about Shadow of Daybreak that Li De is not clear.
In this regard, Li De gave Stanley full trust and support, and with the wisdom of this guy, he can take on this heavy responsibility.
Stanley's eyes showed a little excitement, and he began to recount in detail the process of buying slaves and devouring blood to increase his rank, to how to coerce and lure, and finally embraced a down-and-out nobleman at the beginning.
"You're saying that you'll encounter a backlash after you eat blood and level up?" After hearing this, Li De did not pay attention to the little nobleman who was first embraced, but asked about Stanley's rank promotion.
The Crimson Hunter is very powerful, the absolute trump card of the Bloodline, and the Devouring Blood to increase strength is a super trait that the other three classes do not have.
But after devouring blood, he will encounter a backlash, but it is beyond his expectations.
He's been dealing with all kinds of big things all this time, and he doesn't have much energy to delve into a few of the Bloodline's professions, so he doesn't know much about it.
"That's right," Stanley's eyes showed a bit of solemnity, "after my escalation, the negative emotions hidden by sucking blood exploded, and the strong desire to kill and the screams of countless souls almost broke my sanity.
If it weren't for the tempering of the will test and the experience to deal with it, I am afraid that I would have been completely reduced to a killing tool after the level increase. ”
Li De frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said slowly, "I will inform others of this matter as soon as possible."
If it's just negative emotions, it's probably related to the fact that you devoured a lot of blood in a short period of time. ”
After speaking, he paused, and his eyes slowly brightened.
"This level of negative energy cannot persist in the body for a long time, and you can try to stretch the line for a long time in the future to avoid swallowing too much blood in a short period of time.
Give the body a buffer time. ”
How much negative energy can you have by sucking three or two lives below level 15? Even an undead creature bursting with negative energy would not be able to cause such a big backlash.
So it must be that Stanley didn't grasp this degree well, and sucked too much blood in a short period of time, causing the accumulation of negative energy that did not emanate out, and when the level was raised, it became an outlet, causing a serious backlash.
Stanley nodded approvingly, "I think the same as you think, and I'm already experimenting with it."
However, I haven't seen much effect in a short period of time. ”
Li De smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more, he was still relieved about Stanley.
After thinking about it, he said softly.
"There is no need to rush the matter of Shadow of Daybreak, the nobleman who became your first embrace must also let him hide his identity.
Equipment that can resist the power of the light system is already being developed, and until much progress is made, we must be careful not to be greedy, we have time.
The most important thing to be vigilant against in intelligence work is carelessness and negligence. ”
Stanley nodded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will be cautious." ”
Li De nodded, "I'll rest assured that this matter will be handed over to you."
As for the fact that the Crimson Hunter can restore the power of the bloodline by devouring blood, and I will arrange for other bloodlines to test it as soon as possible.
Crimson Hunters can use blood to restore bloodline power, and other bloodlines may not be impossible. ”
This point in the information reported by Stanley is also of particular concern to Li De, the number of blood clans is too small, and they can only be embraced once a year, and there is nowhere to explode if they want to riot.
If there is a solution, it will definitely be a great thing for Daybreak City.
"If you find out more about the characteristics of the Crimson Hunter class, be sure to report it as soon as possible."
These professions of the blood clan are a treasure trove, and Li De doesn't have much time to dig into them, but he has a lot of talents under him, and he can completely summarize their experience and share it with other blood clans.
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Stanley naturally has no objections, in fact, he is already sorting out the class traits and related skills of the Crimson Hunter, but he has not yet sorted them out.
Li De nodded, turned his head to look at Grote, who had been silent beside him and whose body was as majestic as a stone tower.
"Grote, has there been any movement in the Demon Heart in the last year?"
Although he has a demon heart vice president, Li De has never seen the level 19 mind eater with half of the demon blood since he almost fooled the mind eater Wales in that accident.
In addition, during this time, his work focus was on the City of Dawn, so he was a little unfamiliar with Green City.
"Your Majesty, the Demon Heart hasn't moved much in a short period of time," Grout shook his head and said in a humble voice.
"But the last time I met the Mind Eater Wales when I was buying slaves, this half-demon is so flat now that I can't even detect the power in his body when I walk in front of him."
Oh??
Li De's eyes narrowed slowly.
Flat? This is not good news, but it represents another step forward in Wales' mastery of power.
I'm afraid that it is not far from breaking through the extraordinary.
However, he didn't feel tricky, no matter how close the other party was to the extraordinary, it would take a few years to break through, and it was not so simple to rise to the extraordinary.
And whether he is extraordinary or not, now he can bluff the other party.
As for the future, if the City of Dawn can't cope with a transcendent in three or five years, it will be disbanded directly.
"This time I came back mainly for the three-ring and four-ring magic scroll manufacturing technology that is about to be auctioned on the black market,
If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the Dark Covenant also participated in the management of the black market in the West Side, and has some of the power of the black market, at the recommendation of the Demon Heart.
Do you know more about this? ”
Stanley shook his head, "Your Majesty, this matter is completely controlled by the Demon Heart, and we have received no more information than the Scarlet Mage Tower.
Even the Crimson Mage Tower, with its high-level sources in Green City, knows more than the Dark Covenant. ”
This is the helplessness of the underground forces, although the Dark Covenant also has interests with several high-level nobles in Green City, but because after the disappearance of the original president of the Dark Covenant, Viscount Bernard, the previous interest network was broken.
The new network is nowhere near as large as the network of connections between the Crimson Mage Tower and the Demon Heart.
So some of the message channels, the Dark Pact, really don't necessarily compare to the Crimson Mage's Tower.
And this auction of high-level magic scroll production technology is mainly for the forces on the bright side of Green City, so the news of the Dark Covenant is very late.
This is also the reason why Li Defei wants to establish an intelligence command center, he has so many forces in his hands, each force is good at different points, and it is necessary to integrate the strengths of each force, so as to provide more useful references for decision-making in the City of Dawn.
"Well, I already know the information from the Scarlet Mage Tower, and I'll take care of this matter.
Also, how is Greentown's intelligence network now? ”
Stanley is in Green City to carry out the Shadow of the Dawn project on the one hand, and to build an intelligence network on the other.
While Daybreak is very important at the moment, the basic intelligence network can't be put down.
"Your Majesty, everything is in plan, and the intelligence agents we have installed are already in place, but in order to prevent the possibility of exposure, these intelligence agents have been lurking, waiting for us to wake up.
It is expected that the intelligence network will be officially put into use in the winter months of this year. ”
There was a bit of confidence in Stanley's eyes, and he had put a lot of effort into it.
Li De nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and left the professional things to the professional people to do, and Stanley had absolutely nothing to say about this talent.
In addition, with the earth-related intelligence information he gave before, there is no big problem in making the intelligence department operate.
"I'll talk about these things later, but now prepare and come with me to the Demon Heart."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The purpose of this time is the magic scroll manufacturing technology, and it is not too late to deal with these things slowly in the future, if the magic scroll manufacturing technology is snatched away by others, then his loss will be great.
Under Li De's orders, a luxurious convoy of 30 Rank 10 Dark Covenant warriors was soon dispatched from the Black Rose Manor.
With a population of more than 600,000, Greentown South is huge.
The Black Market, on the other hand, is in the heart of the South End, some distance from the Black Rose Manor.
At this time, although it was already dark, Li De did not go to the appointment alone with a few top-level combat power as before.
What is the current identity of Li De? Your Majesty Iro!
The president of the Dark Covenant, the vice president of the Demon Heart, is said to have reached a superordinarily powerful existence.
Such an identity naturally has the pomp and circumstance it deserves.
The most luxurious noble convoy, the most powerful guards, and even Grote, a level 17 bloodline, personally served as Li De's guard captain to guide him.
Grote, riding a black and white high-headed horse, was at the front, exuding a strong momentum on his body, and the momentum with the smell of blood made the evil people in the West End immediately restrain their greedy gaze.
And the flags fluttering on the carriage behind Grote made them subconsciously avoid it.
A voluptuous black rose drips delicately on the flag.
In the West End, there is almost no knowledge of who is behind the power behind this black rose.
Being one of the three giants of the Underworld of Green City, the reputation of the Dark Covenant is unquestionable.
If the banner of the Covenant of Darkness made passers-by frown and retreat, then Grote, who exuded a powerful momentum, shocked them, this powerful being who was obviously more than level 15 turned out to be only the escort of that luxury convoy.
The guards are all level 15, so what kind of person is qualified to let a top professional protect him?
Thinking of that enchanting black rose, a name that made them breathe quickly came to everyone's mind.
Iro's crown.
The Dark Covenant has never seen a human figure, but it has always been revered by the level 19 Mind Eater Wales, and has a legendary presence in the West End.
Legend has it that this crown that no one has ever seen is truly transcendental, yes, a transcendent of the same level as the super-haired mage on the bright side of Green City.
It is also because of the great reputation under Iro's crown that the status of the Dark Covenant in the Western District has been steadily improving.
Few forces dare to offend the covenant of darkness where transcendent beings sit.
Li De's luxury motorcade drove out of the Black Rose Manor and went straight to the black market without the slightest disguise.
And the news that appeared under the title of Iro's crown was put on the table of many power bosses in a short period of time.
Most of these messages are only a short one.
President of the Dark Covenant, a transcendent being - His Majesty Iromian is heading to the heart of the West Side at this moment, and the target is suspected to be a black market, so please do not let people conflict with it.
It is far more difficult to survive in the underground world than in the normal world where the light shines.
The forces on the surface of Green City all talk about conventional morals and rules, and they can keep the bottom line.
But there is no bottom line in the underground world, here is the law of the jungle of Chiguoguo, and evil happens from time to time.
The forces that can develop and grow in the Western District are almost all foxes who have become elites, there are few fools, and idiots have been eliminated in the process of development.
Li De didn't know that he hadn't reached the black market yet, and with the terrifying legend, a large number of potential opponents were already ready to be people with their tails between their legs.
Stomp ~ Stomp ~ The horses' hooves trampled on the bluestone floor, and the wheels grumbled forward.
Half an hour later, the carriage came to a slow stop.
"Your Majesty, this is the black market in the West End."
Li De nodded slightly when he heard the sound outside the carriage, turned his head to look at Betty, who had been silent in the carriage, wearing a black mask, and only revealing two big eyes.
With a wave of his hand, he turned and got out of the carriage.
Betty seemed to be wearing a mask, her eyes were a little bold, and she almost kept secretly looking at Li De when she was in the car.
At this time, I was about to get out of the car, and I was inexplicably reluctant.
After getting out of the carriage, Li De looked at the bustling street in front of him and nodded slightly.
The West End Black Market is not a market, but an entire street.
The black market here sells all kinds of items of unknown origin, which can be robbed, stolen, and extorted, but there are relatively few items that are above board.
There are even evil items that are not allowed to be bought and sold outside, such as rotting corpses, evil sacrifices to blasphemy, tributes to evil gods, magic materials needed by necromancers, and so on.
You can buy most of the things that are forbidden here.
And there is a saying in the black market in the West End that everyone talks about - as long as you can make a starting price, everything here can be taken away, even if it is my soul.
Li De naturally had no love for souls, and turned his head to look at Grote, who was leading the guards wearing dwarven armor towards him.
"Which auction house are we going to?"
"Your Majesty, there is only one auction house on the black market - Arnault's Auction House."
Stanley, who came to Li De's side, also added at this time, "The Arno auction house is an auction house directly controlled by the Demon Heart, and the Mind Eater Wales is often stationed here.
However, Arnault cannot be entered by horse-drawn carriage and needs to be reached on foot halfway through the street. ”
This is the lair of that level 19 half-demon??
A little smile flashed in Li De's eyes, and he was inexplicably in the mood to fight the boss.
"Let's go straight over.
I think our friends have gotten the news. ”
The convoy drove out of the Black Rose Manor without the slightest cover, and it was strange that the mind eater didn't find out.
After leaving a few men to guard the lavish convoy, Li De stepped into the black market, which was said to have existed since the founding of Greentown, surrounded by a group of guards.
The streets are made of gray stone, neat and clean, without the stench of other urban waste, and the reliefs on the walls on both sides are mostly legends about the gods and religion.
The shops next to it are mostly semicircular arches with fire-breathing dragons carved into the roofs of the spires.
The store sells a chaotic mix of swords, blood-stained armor, and even shriveled human heads and stinking beast corpses.
Everything is out of order.
Li De walked forward slowly, looking at everything around him, full of interest.
Most of the people who come and go on the streets are professionals.
Dressed in full-body armor and smelling of bitter ale, the warrior was sleepy-eyed and staggered with his great sword, as if he might fall to the ground at any moment.
The thief, who walked in a black leotard and was accustomed to hiding in corners and shadows, was staring at a richly dressed fat businessman as if his prey had taken the bait.
The caster, dressed in a mage's robe, held his head high, was dismissive of the crowd around him, and the thick fluctuations of magic on his body kept the crowd away from him a little, for fear of offending these legendary casters with strange personalities.
In addition, there are archers with longbows, shield warriors with shields, and mysterious people with hoods to hide their figures.
Commoners and beggars, who are most common in Greentown, have become a rarity here.
Bustling and lively, primitive and magical, the taste of the medieval wizarding world comes to life.
Li De looked around curiously, it was the first time he had seen the so-called black, all kinds of strange things made his soul of the earth a little unbearable.
However, although the streets were very lively, and nothing too violent or evil happened, Li De still sensed that there was something evil hidden in the calm water.
The crowd of people who came and went was often filled with an aura that made ordinary people uneasy, and he could even easily feel a few passers-by walking around him, who were obviously carrying the aura of dark life.
Sure enough, it was not a black market, Li De took a deep look at the figure that passed by his guards and was hidden in the cloak.
It was the breath of the undead......
Half a day later.
Arnold Auction House.
At this time, Li De finally figured out why the carriage of the Arnoel Auction House could not reach directly.
Because this auction house was built beneath the surface.
The entire surface of the earth was hollowed out in a big way, and then such an auction house was built in the rocks underground.
Because the Dark Covenant was also one of the managers of the Arnoel Auction House, Li De and his party went directly inside.
At the first glance of this auction house, Li De's eyes flashed with a little surprise.
This is the kind of building that can only be found in the magic world, and if it is placed on the earth, it can be called a legend.
The Arnoir Auction House is extremely grand, the internal structure is like an egg, digging a huge space out of the rock, and then circle by circle, building a 12-ring building around the rock, and the height from the top to the surface is 120 blades.
The 12-ring building is magnificent, like a ring on a star, and it can make people's blood boil at a glance.
The auction hall was not dark, and the surrounding rock walls and buildings were covered with magic lamps.
Looking down from the top 12 floors, it looks like a scene from an epic mythology, which is amazing.
Dense magic lamps dotted the vast circular auction hall like fireflies, and the warm yellow light made the scene hazy and dreamy.
Even modern light shows are far less impressive than the quaint and magical scenes.
Li De propped his hands on the 12-layer railing at the top, looking down at the picture below, although his face was flat, he had already liked twelve likes in his heart.
It's not a lair of a level 19 heart eater.,This kind of place is the best way to fight bosses.。
"Your Majesty Iro, Lord Wales invites you to the main hall ......"
Less than a minute after stepping into the Arnoel auction hall, a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and exuding the aura of a level 15 top professional greeted Li De with 10 beautiful girls.
As soon as the two parties met, Li De immediately sensed the demonic aura emanating from the mysterious person's body.
"Take me there."
Li De nodded, no superfluous nonsense.
Now he is no longer the Li De who relied on flickering a year ago.
Although Wales at level 19 is strong enough, he can still suppress this mind eater if he wants to.
It's just a matter of how much it costs.
Li De gave the order, naturally no one dared to refute, Betty's eyes flashed a little eager to try, and her eyes were full of war.
Challenging the strong is always a joy for her.
A little coldness flashed in Stanley's eyes, and his eyes kept observing the mysterious person and everything around him, as if he wanted to record everything here in his mind.
Grote faithfully followed Li De's side, defending Li De's glory with his tower-like body.
When Li De saw this scene, the corners of his mouth hung a satisfied arc.
At this point, the power around him is enough to make any opponent fearful.
The level 17 Scarlet Hunter Grote, the level 16 Crimson Hunter Stanley, the level 16 Northland Valkyrie Betty, and the level 15 Newborn King Castro wearing extraordinary armor in his arms, plus the level 18 Bone Dragon Dry Bone hidden in dimensional space.
If you add him, a level 15 blood ancestor, he already has 6 top-level combat power above level 15.
As long as Mind Eater Wales has not stepped into the transcendental, he will not be able to ascend to the sky.
Li De's eyes were deep, and he was wearing a pitch-black mage robe, and he was indescribably evil and handsome with the fangs in his mouth at this time.
Stomp ~ Stomp ~ The group walked down the floor made of black hardwood, slowly walking downward.
Click~click~
In addition to the stairs, there is also a magic elevator that has been carved out of a hollow passage in the rock.
These magically crafted elevators can be lifted and lowered by simply activating them with magical power.
It's no different from an elevator, but once it's magical, it immediately looks a little unusual.
Even Li De looked at it a few more times.
Click~
A slight chain grinding sounded, and the elevator slowly descended.
Third floor.
The magic elevator stops.
There were already dozens of figures waiting at the door of the elevator without a door.
In the center stood a tall figure dressed in an elegant gentleman's attire with a faint blood-red eye.
Although he was dressed like an ancient nobleman, the smell of blood on his body made people shudder, as if this elegant middle-aged man was not human.
Li De's eyes narrowed slightly the moment he walked out of the magic elevator and saw the middle-aged man.
The leader of the Demon Heart, a level 19 Mind Eater Wales.
What a familiar demonic aura.
"Wales welcomes you, Your Majesty Iro."
After seeing Li De, Wales, a level 19 mind eater with a faint smell of blood around him, immediately stepped forward at this time, and looked at Li De, who had become the appearance of Iro's crown, with an extremely respectful expression.
Unable to disrespect him, Li Deke is the guide who guides him on the path of transcendence, and in the hearts of Wales, Li De's strength is likely to reach a legend.
When dealing with the strong, you must maintain enough respect!
Ledd looked at the respectful Welsh with a meaningful smile on his face.
Secondary identity - Iroh, President of the Heart of Darkness
When using the secondary identity, gain +10 Legend in the Underworld of Green City to gain the title of Dark Legend.
Dark Legend, characteristics: 1. When facing the dark race, the deterrent power is increased, and the majesty effect is obtained in front of creatures whose legend is lower than 5 points (the enemy will fear you, and all attributes are reduced by 30%), 2. There is a very high probability that dark creatures with a deterrent level lower than you will join you, 3. Be hostile to the lives of the good camp and the natural camp.
The secondary has a special deterrent to the Mind Eater Wales, with +10 Legends when facing Wales.
When he first met this mind eater, Li Deyi flickered and let Wales touch the transcendent way.
Then his sub-identity was recognized by the other party, and he also gained the trait of Dark Legend.
Li De was also a little crying and laughing at the scene at that time, this guy is really coaxing.
"Well, yes, Wales, your breath is getting duller.
We are not far from the path of transcendence. ”
"Your Majesty, I want to praise your generosity, it's all your credit!"
Wales shouted praise, his face becoming more and more respectful.
Li De smiled slightly, and just as he wanted to speak, Yu Guang suddenly saw a figure in the crowd that surprised him.
Why is she here??
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
