Chapter 37: The Spiritual Blood of the Sage
Gu Xuan looked for a relatively hidden route with ease, and approached the back mountain where the magic was out of control. Because when he has nothing to do, he will come to the abandoned church to feed the kittens. Although I have never been to the inner part of the church in detail, I am very familiar with the place behind the mountain.
"This person turned out to be "Amazuka Mercury"! Gu Xuan restrained his breath and quietly hid under a big tree. He looked in horror at the entrance of the church, a man playing with a strangely shaped cane, and his gaze was on the carved coat of arms of the church.
Mercury Amatsuka is an alchemist who appears in episode 20 of the anime, and the alchemist is the guy who is rumored to have the ability to turn stones into gold. Incidentally, in the Gozo incident, the necromantic magic performed by the Dead Emperor's brother to turn orc corpses into orcs living dead is a type of alchemy.
Gu Xuan was shocked and thought hard about the reason why Tianzuka Mercury came to this church, he clearly remembered that Tianzuka Mercury was to obtain the spiritual blood of the sage, so he took the first step to seriously injure Ye Se Xiansheng and go to capture Ye Se Natsune.
"Could it be that this church is where Hase Natsuon originally was?" Reorganizing the scattered memories together, Gu Xuan's heart rose to this possibility. The plot of this section is only one-sidedly mentioned in both the anime and the novel, and the world of Bloodthirsty Attack has changed because he has become the blood servant of the Fourth True Ancestor.
Therefore, Gu Xuan didn't expect the sudden appearance of Tianzuka mercury at all, and caught him off guard.
"How do you look at this ordinary carving?" Not only Amazuka, but also two middle-aged men in suits stood next to him. They stared at the carving like Amatsuka Mercury, but they didn't have Amatsuka Mercury's eagerness, longing, nostalgia and tireless look.
Tenzuka shook his head and snorted coldly: "What a rude human being, with your short-sighted eyes and stupid brains, how can you understand the real treasure?" ”
The two middle-aged men ignored Tenzuka's cynicism and said solemnly: "Please remember your identity, if this is not the real 'Sage's Spiritual Blood', we will not continue to fund you!" ”
The Sage's Spiritual Blood!!
When Gu Xuan heard this word, a storm broke in his heart.
The spirit blood of the sage is a crimson liquid metal lifeform with an independent will created by the great alchemist Nina Yadilad two hundred and seventy years ago, and Amazuka is the disciple who was expelled from the sect by Nina Yadirad. This can be called the most perfect masterpiece of an alchemist, if you can transplant your soul into an immortal lifeform, you can not only become truly immortal, but also use a magic power as powerful as a true ancestor.
By now that the incident had happened, Gu Xuan had completely understood the purpose of the Heavenly Tomb Mercury. If he remembered correctly, Haze Natsune stayed in the monastery since he was a child.,But after an incident.,She's the only one left in the entire convent.,She also enrolled in Caihai School Park at that time.。
The church and the monastery, the relationship between the two coexists, there is no doubt that Gu Xuan did not set foot in the place behind the church, it is the monastery that has adopted many outstanding spiritual abilities. It seems that the mastermind behind the destruction of the monastery is the guy Amazuka Mercury.
While Gu Xuan was thinking, Tianzuka replied to the two middle-aged men: "Don't worry, you will soon see what you "want". ”
The word "want" was particularly aggravated, and with his flickering eyes, it seemed to be a pun telling some kind of conspiracy, but the two middle-aged men only thought that Amatsuka mercury continued to taunt again.
"Look, awakened." Amazuka mercury exuded a magical power, and then the coat of arms on the church was removed. He pulled out a crystal clear crimson gem from his coat, and then he placed it close to the coat of arms, gently touching the surface of the coat of arms.
In that moment, the coat of arms changed dramatically.
The coat of arms of the two snakes around a staff on the surface turned into a pool of blood, and the blood swayed like waves on the sea, moving like tentacles, swallowing the gem in Amazuka's hand little by little into his own blood.
In an instant, a bright red blood-colored light bloomed, and all the blood condensed into a shape, a metal insect with a bright red luster.
"I see, this is the refining of the core!" When the two middle-aged men beside Amatsuka Mercury saw this scene, their eyes flashed with a look full of desire, and even they unconsciously stretched out their hands to take the gem in Amazuka Mercury's hand as their own.
"Yes, this is a fusion liquid metal lifeform with a powerful self-proliferating function, a magical catalyst that exists to harness the "spiritual blood of the sage". ”
Amazuka did not continue to let the blood that turned into a blood worm devour the gem, and pulled the gem out and hid it. The blood worm turned into a pool of blood again, and after snaking and going crazy as if reluctantly, it condensed into the original metal carved heraldic shape again.
But now the two middle-aged men would no longer think that this was an ordinary carved coat of arms.
As Amatsuka said in his mouth, it is precisely by transferring his consciousness to the refining core, that the person who has the refining core can fuse with the spiritual blood in the coat of arms. And still maintain their consciousness, and the flesh is transformed into an immortal metal lifeform, gaining near-eternal life and unrivaled strength.
"Very good, very good, with this power, I will lead my company to become the strongest force in the world, and those who oppose me will also become my stepping stones." One of the middle-aged men laughed maniacally, his eyes flashing with an endless desire for revenge and power.
He is the chairman of a consortium, but he has been crushed by a super-large consortium for many years, and he has no chance to turn over. The middle-aged man next to him was a guard he had hired at great expense.
"As agreed, this one is yours." Amatsuka looked at the chairman with a salivating expression, and a conspiracy smile appeared silently, and then he casually threw the refining core in his hand to the chairman.
The chairman of the board of directors caught the refining core in a panic, for fear that it would be damaged a little, and at the same time looked at the Amazuka mercury suspiciously.
"The agreement must be observed, although this is a relic left to me by the master, but without funding, I will not be able to start many alchemy projects at all. So I don't think it's an unequal deal rather than being able to satisfy my alchemy desires. ”
As if seeing the chairman's doubts, Amazuka said lightly with a regretful but not regretful expression.
After hearing this, the chairman was completely relieved, after all, this thing that can be called a treasure of alchemy, Tianzuka mercury was given to him for no reason, and he didn't believe it. However, what Amazuka said is so reasonable, and now he has completely occupied his brain by desire and revenge.
Without hesitation, he said, "Not a bad decision, I can assure you that I will definitely satisfy you with everything you need for your alchemy project." ”
Absolute...... Tenzuka muttered, and the smile of the conspiracy became more and more blooming, and said, "Okay." ”
