Chapter 53: The Truth About the Elixir
Originally, Buyos's plan to overthrow Callowan and seize the Lich King's throne for centuries went very smoothly, but a couple from across the ocean suddenly broke in, and the plan was hindered at the last minute and had to be put on hold for a while
The couple snatched a vital treasure from Buyos, and although the wife was eventually killed, she planted an enchantment before she died, protecting her husband and the important treasure
Since that enchantment can deprive the necromancer of his power, even a strong person like Buyos is no exception, and in the face of the treasure that is close at hand, the necromancer can only sigh and sigh to reclaim the treasure, the warden hatches a plan to create a demon puppet, using a drop of demonic blood sealed in the deepest part of the hell to implant it into the body of the strongest living person, transforming it into a powerful puppet that is controlled, and then manipulate this puppet to destroy that damn enchantment
In addition to making the body of the real yàn strong enough to resist the power of the demon blood, it is more important to implant enough puppet engravings on the real yàn body so that this crazy power can be firmly controlled in their hands, and finally after more than ten years of failure, the demon puppet finally succeeded in a 14-year-old real yàn body named Owen
When Buyos was full of ambition and commanded the demon puppets to rush into the barrier and wreak havoc, he never imagined that at the last moment, he didn't know which link had gone wrong, and the puppet actually got rid of the accusation on its own, Kassandrona was killed, and the warden's efforts failed, not only lost Kassandrona, but also lost that precious drop of demonic blood, and the price was quite heavy, and Buyos was angry but had to temporarily sting
From that day on, Buyos and his men had been monitoring every move in the barrier, and he knew that the power of the demon's blood would surely awaken from the body of the real body, and Buyos expected Owen to become a demon who only knew how to kill and destroy again, and as long as the demon carried out irrational destruction within the barrier, he would be able to take advantage of the void and take back the treasure
However, in the end, the warden was still disappointed, although the demon blood had occurred several times on Owen in the past two years, but with the help of the man from the far east, every time Owen was able to suppress the power of the demon blood at the last moment, and in recent months, the frequency of demon blood attacks on Owen has become less and less, and it seems that he has become more and more proficient in controlling the power of demon blood
It was an unacceptable thing for the arrogant Buyos, so it was not a way to wait, as long as he took the initiative, Buyos planned a new conspiracy: to capture Owen's body, recover the demon blood from Owen's body, and then create a new demon puppet
The ghost assassin Blair is the one who carries out this mission
Blair, who has hunted countless lives over the years, has a lot of experience, and he knows that in order to catch his prey, he must first prepare a bait to attract the prey, like Owen, who is in the middle of puberty, and his machismo is just budding, and he is generally full of fantasy, and the plot of pity and pity and heroism is hidden in the subconscious, and because of this, the girl has become a pitiful victim
She is a villager on the island, and when she went alone to the creek outside the village that morning to wash her clothes, Blair quietly attacked her maiden and was severely injured, and then Blair threw her as a piece of bait outside the barrier
Sure enough, the prey was attracted by the faint moaning sound of the bait, and the process was quite smooth, but accidents always happened in the final stage, and Blair never imagined that the soul hunting tactic he was most proud of suddenly failed, and it was really self-inflicted that stealing a chicken would not be a counterproduct, and a handful of rice would end up so tragically
You know that's all there is to it, and the guò interrogation has shaken out such a little bit of information from Blair's mouth, and Owen is very dissatisfied, you know, my patience is not good
I told me all I knew, and Blair looked at Owen with pleading eyes
I thought that cold-blooded killers like you were outlaws, taking other people's lives at will, but when it comes to life and death, you are very good at cherishing your own life, and it is really sad and sad that people like you Owen shook his head and stared
For Blair, it is not a shame to grovel and beg for mercy, since he embarked on the path of a freelance assassin, he has deeply understood the only rules of this profession: his life is always the highest priority, no matter what happens, he must live by any means, if he takes his life because he wants to complete the task, it will be more than worth the loss, he did not hesitate to join the command of the prison warden in order to survive, and now in order to survive, he did not hesitate to abandon his master, for which Blair will not have any sense of remorse, in his opinion, those who lose their lives for the sake of an ethereal sense of honor are the most shameful
Therefore, Blair was unmoved by Owen's ridicule
Okay, then I'll ask you another question, what is the 'treasure' that Buyos wants, and Owen knows that the so-called treasure is the elixir that the master said, but the master never showed him the elixir, so Owen can only get more information about the elixir from Blair
I've never seen him not my master when Buyos went to the mainland to look for the treasure, but I've heard them mention that the name of the treasure is 'The Gift of the Holy Spirit'
The gift of the Holy Spirit, Owen first heard the term, what it was, and what it did
I heard that the 'gift of the Holy Spirit' was created by the Holy See of Light at the expense of countless lives, and it contains hundreds of thousands, even millions of souls, which are extremely precious, and were brought out of Holy Pope Island by a traitor to the Holy See more than a thousand years ago...... Buyos wants to get' The gift of the Holy Spirit is to obtain the hundreds of thousands of souls contained in it, because for necromancers, souls are wealth and energy, and Blair can use these huge numbers of souls to greatly increase his strength or create an army of undead on an unprecedented scale, as long as he has mastered these powers, it is easy for Buyos to overthrow the rule of the Lich King, not to mention a mere island of death, even if he wants to rule the three continents of Olopa, it is possible to do it, Blair gushes Owen about what he knows about the gift of the Holy Spirit
Because the light in the cave was dim, Blair couldn't see the increasingly solemn expression on Owen's face, and this secret made Owen's heart extremely uncomfortable - hundreds of thousands, millions of souls, master, this is the elixir you have been pursuing, did you already know this truth
You lied to me, right, Owen crouched down and grabbed Blair by the collar
No, what I said was the truth, you don't believe me, and there is no way, Blair looked at Owen in a daze, he expected the other party to believe the information he provided, so that he might have a little hope of survival
Owen stood up, threw away the throwing knife, ignored Blair, and turned away
Wait, are you...... Owen's move came as a surprise to Blair
That's right, I wasn't going to kill you from the beginning, I was just scaring you, Owen stopped, but didn't look back, I have no interest in taking away your life that doesn't shine at all, so let's just leave it
He walked up to the girl, squatted down, stretched out his hands to her, and said kindly, "Come, I will take you to heal."
The girl looked at Owen very hesitantly, she trembled and stretched out her hand to Owen, and quickly retracted it, she saw the battle between Owen and Blair just now, and heard the conversation between the two of them, she understood that Owen and Blair were not the same people as Blair, who seriously injured her, but she still couldn't fully trust the handsome silver-haired man in front of her
Trust me, I'll protect you, Owen still smiles
You...... It's true...... The girl who protects me asked with difficulty in an extremely weak voice
Owen must have nodded firmly at the girl
After hesitating for more than ten seconds, the girl finally made up her mind to stretch out her hands to Owen, who gently grabbed the weak little hand and hugged her by the waist
Although the girl's body was light, Owen had to take a lot of effort to pick her up, and because the girl's injuries were too severe, he had to be careful and walk on thin ice, even if he avoided her badly injured parts, lest she be hurt more
Breathing in the smell of the opposite sex full of security, the seriously injured girl buried her head in Owen's chest with confidence, Owen carried her in the direction of the small valley, only a hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave, as long as she returned to the small valley, the master would definitely have a way to cure her
However, Owen was barely 10 meters away......
Yikes
Yes--
Two screams came out of the mouths of a man and a woman almost simultaneously
Owen looked at his chest in disbelief, and when he came into contact with the girl's gaze, he found that she was also terrified and stunned - two bloody ribs pierced the girl's chest, pierced through the girl's chest, and then stabbed into Owen's chest, connecting the two of them.......
