Chapter 5: Audience and Volunteering
"Usain Bolt, you guy, you're like a water element......"
When it was all over for the time being, the Black Dragon Lady Milady complained weakly.
Like all fantasy novels, this world has several human nations, with elves, dwarves, dragons, elemental creatures, and ...... Orcs and demons, it's a pity that there is no Church of Light and Heaven that always appears as villains.
That's why, after seeing someone's seemingly endless liquid, the Black Dragon Lady complained. She could only complain like this, Zhao Kun's application of life force was comparable to that of the Red Dragon Queen, who was in charge of the life force, and his life essence had formed a special magical structure in his body.
Since these seeds of life themselves are controlled by the caster, they can also be understood as a kind of demon, and the person who is implanted with the seed of life naturally becomes a puppet of the caster in a sense.
The Recipient is not just watched, these life essences can be turned into life-killing weapons whenever needed, and they can even transform the Recipient, or plunder their energy and inflict it on the caster...... There are no drawbacks other than a comparatively fast consumption rate.
TO MAINTAIN A MINIMAL MAGICAL STRUCTURE, IT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO INJECT AT LEAST 240CC OF LIQUID PER DAY. In addition, the seed of life will affect the recipient, making it instinctively ask for more seeds of the same kind. The seeds of life in vitro cannot be directly replenished into the body, even if it is a three-way way, in which the path through the esophagus will only be digested, not supplemented.
Therefore, unless it is the white turbid version of Nepturon (the king of the water element), that is, the king of the white turbid element, in this way, he can control an army of strong men to bulldoze the world.
"Hmph, ma'am, now you see my mighty power, be honest, and do nothing as if nothing happened. I'll talk about the rest when I see the King of the Rhine tomorrow. "Unlike Miledi, who was drained of energy and controlled by magic, Zhao Kun's previous losses were almost all replenished by this black dragon. Although the process made him almost dehydrated, overall, it was worth it.
――――――――――――
Early the next morning, Zhao Kun, who felt that he was almost in a good state, finished his morning lesson on Milaidi, and went to the palace to ask to see the king. But he arrived too late, and the king was talking to the Grand Duke inside. The guard at the door told Zhao Kun that His Majesty was handling government affairs and would not meet him at this time.
So he had to wait until noon to come back.
But it was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Zhao Kun, who was waiting in the front hall, was able to meet the king.
The king was obviously in a bad mood, and a group of courtiers in the main hall lined up tremblingly on both sides of the king. When Zhao Kun entered, King Rhine was sitting on his throne, tapping his boots with the hilt of his scabbard.
Despite this, Zhao Kun still stubbornly asked if the Holy Communion was well.
"Very bad, Monsieur Count," replied the King, "I am glad to see your body restored, but I am dying of anguish! ”
"What! Your Majesty is troubled? Is there anything else in the kingdom that can annoy His Majesty? ”
"That's a good thing to say, sir! Let's be honest, everything is terrible, the kingdom's towns are being attacked one after another, starting with the cursed land where you were garrisoned before, and continuing throughout the swamps, those orcs, yes, the beasts that attacked you, have swept away more than a dozen towns! And the total damage of my army is six regiments! Two counts are dead! Behold, my kingdom is under threat! Mr. Bolt Vortagen! My people are suffering like never before. ”
"Ah, Your Majesty! Has the Grand Duke not been able to command his troops to sweep away those beasts? Well, I understand your disappointment. It was very unpleasant, but as far as I know, even without the mobilization of the militia and reserves, there would be at least forty regiments of the regular army of the kingdom. ”
"I believe in Anduin's abilities, but it will take time for him to solve them. Ah, just this morning, he had set out with the warriors of the Stormwind Kingdom to see if he could catch one or two alive to torture the information. That's right! Speaking of which, Count Bolt, what do you think of those beasts? ”
"It's hard to deal with, Your Majesty, but there will be a way to fix it. They should be organized, but we are also a kingdom......"
"That's enough, Mr. Bolt!" The King frowned, "I need some more definite information!" I appointed you as the commander of the infantry regiment, not for the sake of your ability to speak pretty words! ”
"But then again." The King continued, "Perhaps I am too impatient to say this, after all, Earl, you are near-alive on the battlefield, and my impatience seems a little impersonal, but I do wish for more information. Earl, I think the other party should send elites, so with your strength, how many orcs can you deal with at once? ”
"Your Majesty, if they were all like those beasts that attacked the barracks that day," Zhao Kun said unhurriedly, "I think I can fight ten warriors!" ”
"Ahh Hit ten! This was somewhat unexpected. The king's brow furrowed even tighter, "Your prowess is also numbered in the Stormwind Kingdom, so it seems that things are more troublesome than I thought. ”
"Actually, Your Majesty," Zhao Kun bowed again unhurriedly, "there are spellcasters in their army...... Although it came slowly, there were indeed spellcasters. ”
"Spellcaster?! Monsieur Earl, it's not a very good joke. ”
"It's not a joke, Your Majesty."
"Spellcaster, spellcaster!" His Majesty the Venerable King left his throne and walked up and down the steps, "You and I, and everyone in the hall, know what it means to be a spellcaster...... How strong are the Counts, their spellcasters? ”
"Your Majesty, I was beaten like this by a spell from the other party. If it weren't for the help of the greatest mage in the world, I don't think the gentlemen of the Stormwind Kingdom would have seen me. ”
"This is the worst news I've heard in recent times."
"Your Majesty, didn't the greatest mage tell you this information?"
"Of course not!" King Rhine was visibly more irritated, "Dear Guardian only came to Stormwind with his unlovable apprentice, which wasn't part of their original itinerary. Even after the two court mages had an accident, the Guardian who came to solve the matter did not mention the caster in the slightest. ”
"Okay!" Zhao Kun looked puzzled on the surface, "Why doesn't Your Majesty contact the mage master again to ask, maybe this matter can only be solved by the greatest mage in Azeroth." ”
"To put it simply, Monsieur Earl. Ever since Medivan came to me to deal with that demon, we have never been able to contact the Great Guardian again. It's a pity that Anduin has another mission, otherwise I would have sent him to Karazhan to have a look. My messengers have all returned in vain, the Mage's Tower has been sealed, and the griffon-riding messengers cannot even land on the rooftop. ”
"Aren't there anything the court mages can do?"
"They say there's a special enchantment there, and there's no way to use magic to communicate, so you can only send a letter or send a messenger."
"Your Majesty," Zhao Kun felt that this was an opportunity, "if you trust me, I am willing to take on the task of messenger." ”
"Would you like to go to Karazan?"
"Not bad."
"Even if you might be at the wrath of the greatest mage of our time? I'm well aware of his temper, and even with my seal, disturbing the Great Guardian could make you suffer something. Of course, for my sake, it won't make you miserable. ”
"I'm willing to go."
"Okay!" The king called, "Raphael! ”
The henchmen of the king of the Rhine hurriedly walked up when they heard the greeting.
"Raphael," said the king, "call two guards to stand by. By the way, ask the court mages, is there anyone who would like to share my worries and go with Count Bolt? ”
Raphael was ordered to retreat.
"Earl," the king turned to Zhao Kun, "you can now go back to the mansion and prepare." When this messenger is ready, I will inform you of the departure. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
