Chapter 2: Dark Souls, Cursed by Source Blood
A breeze blows, and the cold air flow overflows.
The atmosphere of the scene was almost frozen, Zhu Peng, Turin, and Vicky faintly formed a balanced and stable triangle, as if Zhu Peng was oppressing the mechanical wizard Vicky, and it seemed that Turin and Vicky were teaming up to fight against the terrible man with black hair and black eyes in front of him.
He was weak, but still terrible.
This brief stalemate between the three parties was broken by the faint sound of horses and infantry running in the distance, accompanied by the eager rebuke of Akizuki Shirley.
The beautiful long-haired blonde girl was riding a white horse, carrying a multi-enchanted sniper rifle upside down, and was leading the royal knights' descendants to hurry over, which was already surprisingly fast for the overall level of mortals.
"Do it!"
Vicky suddenly let out a low sigh, and a pair of mechanical arms swung forward, and at the moment when the worn cloak flew, dozens of micro-mechanical bees flew out, and they shot out one after another laser fires that were not at all miniature to kill the man in front of him.
And Zhu Peng sneered, and he slammed the wand in his hand to the ground.
The brilliant golden-** pattern array rose and flickered under his feet, and the next moment, the red flame steel armor incarnated by mutated green clay had a winged dragon breaking out of the formation, protecting his master with a huge body and steel wings.
The explosive power of a strong third-order mechanical wizard is indeed not weak, but it is not a one-trick thing to defeat the strong second-order demon red flame steel armor dragon with ridiculously high comprehensive attributes.
As for why the mutated green clay is used to mimic the Red Flame Steel Armor Dragon, instead of summoning the Demon Messenger Deity, it is because there is not much difference in the magic power consumed by summoning the two, and the mutated green clay as a gold quality summoning demon has a stronger on-the-spot adaptability than the Red Flame Steel Dragon.
"Turin...... You idiot, you don't have an opportunity that you can happen once in hundreds of years. Ahhhh......h
Blue jet flames erupted from his feet and lower back, and the muzzle barrel of his muzzle emerged from the mid-air with his hands and feet stretched out and deformed, and he fired downwards.
(Dragon Dance, Hurricane...... Superspeed. )
With Zhu Peng's orders one after another, the red flame steel armor dragon burned with dark blue magic light flames, and Zhu Peng, who was covering under the dragon, supported his body with a magic wand in his right hand, and pressed his eyebrows with the palm of his left hand, and there were green tendons on his forehead, trying his best to squeeze out every bit of his magic power.
The dragon dance made the Red Flame Steel Armor Dragon move in a state of super demon burning with amazing speed, and the rapid rotation gradually brought a wave of aura like a hurricane, and finally violently exploded into a super speed: sacrifice charge.
Zhu Peng stretched out his right arm and grabbed the tail of the steel armored dragon, and then jumped onto its head, and in the glitter of the storage ring, the man waved his knife with one hand as if it were flowing water, and he staggered past the mechanical wizard Vicky who was frantically pouring fire in mid-air. In the next moment, the right elbow of the right arm of the Wiki had been completely broken, and large streams of black-red engine oil blood gushed out from the gap.
(The physical exertion is too great, has the accuracy become so poor?)
"For the sake of your service to me, this sword does not want your life...... Get out!" Holding the glorious saber and slowly turning around, Vicky, who was stared at by Zhu Peng's indifferent and terrifying gaze, couldn't help but shudder, and the crazy and decisive momentum on his body just now had been completely knocked down.
And at this time, the mixed infantry and cavalry troops not far away, their voices were getting closer and closer.
Without the alliance of Turin, it is impossible for him to kill the man in front of him in front of the descendants of the Royal Knights of the National Order, and even if the other party is a little relieved, I am afraid that he will be killed.
Thinking of this, Vicky glared hatefully at the man on the ground who was still hesitating and struggling, he originally thought that the ferocity and arrogance that the "mad blood wizard" Turin had always shown would be more thorough and ruthless than himself in the face of this kind of thing.
But I didn't expect that the other party was just a strong outsider, although his strength was strong, he was still a chick in terms of mentality.
Before the Royal Knights' descendant army could actually arrive, Vikki turned and blue flames erupted, and he flew away at high speed.
Offended the Royal Knights of the National Empire, of course he couldn't stay anymore, and Zhu Peng also slowly descended according to the red flame steel armor dragon mimiced by the mutated green clay, and was surrounded and protected in the center by the large forces on the ground.
"Brother, are you okay?" Qiuyue Shirley carried the magic energy sniper rifle on her back and stretched out her hands to support one of Zhu Peng's arms. Slowly descended, and with a wave of his hand, sent the Steel-Armored Pterodactyl back.
"It's not that you don't know the bloodline talent of the Huaxia people, as long as you give us a little time to breathe, it will be enough to ease up. It is indeed as Zhu Peng said, although his face is still pale at this moment, it is much better than when he first faced Wiki and Turin, and he is slightly bloody.
Although the tenacity talent itself is not a particularly high-level racial bloodline talent, as the host level gets higher and higher, its moisturizing and silent accelerated recovery effect is also invisibly becoming more and more valuable.
In the afternoon, the headquarters of the Royal Knights of the State, the private office of Viscount Rod Custer.
"What? That Turin and Wiki didn't say anything about the cowardice in the middle of the way, and they almost attacked you in the end?" At dusk, the pale yellow light shone in through the bright window, and the Autumn Moon sisters were wearing royal knight uniforms similar to military uniforms, revealing their slender and moving figures, but the sisters were all full of annoyance and anger at this time.
Among them, Qiuyue Shirley almost rushed out, intending to mobilize the army to overturn the Turin guy, but was stopped by Zhu Peng.
"It's a relationship of mutual use, and it's natural that he will waver in the face of huge interests, and no matter what, in the end he doesn't make a move, so let's forget about it. Recently, Xenelli has arranged for more work in Turin to calm his mind. ”
"Yes, brother. Compared with her sister Shirley, although Akizuki Xue Nari is also angry, she is relatively more able to control her emotions and weigh the pros and cons of things.
At this time, Zhu Peng had already cut open the brains of the Langsom brothers with a scalpel, dug out the slippery brains that were still alive, and threw them into the culture liquid of the glass tank together.
Aqua blue, earth yellow, red flame, the three-color soul fire through the pink molten liquid in the glass jar, showing a magnificent and gorgeous light.
"There are still two left, kill two more legends, and I will be able to take you to live relatively safely in this frenzy of war between the plane and civilization. ”
“...... Brother, no matter how you look at this Dark Soul Secret Technique, can it really rebalance your spiritual power and martial arts cultivation, and promote you to become a Legendary Great Wizard?" Shirley asked in a low voice with some suspicion as she looked at the human brain that had gradually developed tentacles in the glass jar and swam around like a swimming fish.
"Of course it's weird, of course it's dangerous, of course it's evil...... Legendary level dark sorcery, but as long as it is completed step by step, the effect of this kind of spell is also outstanding, Legendary Soul...... A high-grade currency for the heavens. Zhu Peng said with some playful emotion.
Viscount Rod Custer, the legendary "evoker" in Revere City, killed the famous Lonsom brothers alone, and after the news spread, the effect was really shocking.
Those two brothers are not weak among legendary wizards, but they died at the hands of the leader of the adjudication team, of course, it is shocking enough and shocking big news.
This is even more eye-catching than Zhu Peng's first battle to join the Royal Knights of the National Order, the "Battle of Light", because the battle of Light defeated the indigenous vampires of the world, even if everyone is of the legendary rank, no one thinks that they are worthy of competing with the Lonsom brothers. And in fact, it is true, defeating the three legendary vampires at that time was far from forcing Zhu Peng to the limit.
It's just that, as the head of the Royal Knights, the silver-haired Countess Egula Helsing's report is difficult to write. A great war had almost torn half of the aristocratic district into ruins, and now even the wreckage was no longer suitable for ordinary people...... This is the Turreville King of St. Rudin, who has destroyed the city like this, and the Royal Knights have special powers, which is enough to drink a pot.
So, after resting for two days and basically recovering his state, Zhu Peng personally took the short, small, and old queen with incredible political power in his hands to visit the royal knights' recently formed descendant unit: the Royal Guard.
It is of course impossible to eat meat and drink blood to absorb nutrients from the national giant beast of St. Rudin, but not take out any real money.
Fortunately, Ma Qianrong's secret blood enhancement and transformation experiments over the years have also been quite effective, and at this time, a dead soldier army with an average level of almost second-order was pulled out and handed over as a report card, in exchange for more trust and continuous material support from the royal family.
The entire continent of San Diego has been fought to the ground, and at this time, even the noble royal family, while suppressing the situation and gathering the remnants of wealth and power, is secretly thinking about the retreat, which is the most important reason why the royal family and even many big nobles tolerate the National Royal Knights.
The more erosive and ugly the situation on the front line, the more important and prominent the last royal private army in the royal capital became, especially Rod Custer, although unruly, still maintained a basic respect for the royal family and the aristocracy...... The dead fat man Norseen who was shot in the head in public doesn't count.
That guy and his family have now been made synonymous with the disgrace of the Duchy of St. Rudin, a bit like Qin Hui in Chinese history. himself, of course, is not a good person, but he was burdened with the common sin of that class of that era, and was scolded for thousands of years as a target.
All in all, Rod Custer, a powerful legend who is at least outwardly willing to obey his superiors, is too important for the current royal family, and it will become more and more important.
With the passage of these two years, the second prince Jer, who was somewhat indecisive, was seriously ill and almost paralyzed, and he basically lost the ability to act independently.
And the once heroic and powerful prince Lokov, two years later, has gray sideburns and a faintly old face, but his waist is still straight, and during this time he has usurped more and more political power in the hands of his mother. Therefore, while aging, it also seems to be quite high-spirited.
On the contrary, it was the old woman with gorgeous hair, the iron-fisted queen of the Duchy of St. Rudin, with white hair, pale skin, red lips, and blue-gray eyes, which hardly looked like an old man.
When Zhu Peng faced the mother and son, he only felt that the spirit of the queen was not to mention that he was already a weak second prince Jer, even the eldest prince Lokov, who was strong on the outside and strong on the middle, was slightly inferior.
The royal guards practiced martial arts at close range, showing their strength and quality to the royal family and the powerful nobles who came to the parade, their vitality was catalyzed by Ma Qianrong's classic concoction of secret blood, one by one at the cost of vitality burning, the dragon spirit is fierce, the marksmanship is proficient, plus the ration is the best weapons and equipment of the Duchy of St. Rudin, in terms of strength, it can be described as the trump card of the trump card.
Because he has been on duty for many years on the front line of the battle against non-human life, his psychological quality and adaptability are also excellent.
Even after Ma Qianrong secretly cast a spell to activate the demonic potions that had been accumulated in their bodies through diet for a long time, these people would become "soul slaves" in a short period of time, and they would fight to the last bullet and the last drop of blood under the orders of the master behind them.
"Not inferior to the proudest ghoul legion of the Demon Coalition on the front line, no, even more powerful than them. Participating in the front-line war, it can be said that the eldest prince Lokov of the army gave his heartfelt admiration and appreciation after the review, and in the eyes of the other nobles present, Zhu Peng saw the greed and fanaticism he expected.
However, on the contrary, it is the iron-fisted queen of this country, who is quiet, and does not seem to have any sense of amazement at the elite troops created by witchcraft methods combined with modern military training.
“...... It is indeed a good elite soldier, and I am also very relieved that Hai Xinqing and Kastqing are in charge. As soon as the old man said this, not only the face of the eldest prince Lokov changed slightly, but also many nobles who were related to the royal family on the side also discussed.
Because the National Royal Knights took out this elite force of 200 people, it was for a political exchange, in order to make up for the losses caused by the inability to control the situation in the previous mission, in exchange for the trust and material supply of the government as always.
However, now the Queen's words are equivalent to directly absolving the National Royal Order of Knights from its faults, and asking Egula Helsing and Rod Custer to continue to be at the helm of this elite force. In the current situation, this is almost a simple renunciation of low-hanging fruit armed interests.
"I'm a little tired after watching the military parade, Kasterqing helped me to go to the woods over there for a walk, and Hai Xinqing borrowed your most powerful assistant for a while, won't you mind?" The old man didn't mind his son's ugly face and other people's discussions, but asked with a smile.
"It was his pleasure, Your Majesty. Agoura Helsing raised her eyebrows, and she replied with a noble lady at the hem of her skirt.
After a while, the forest is lush and the air is fresh and refreshing.
Zhu Peng supported the iron-fisted queen in a black gauze robe with one hand, and they were only followed by two maids who followed and served, in other words, Zhu Peng could directly kill the ......... who held the power of a country next to him with a wave of his hand Political monsters.
"Actually, I wanted to die a long time ago. The queen, who was being supported, suddenly said like this, if it was another courtier, I am afraid that she would be sincerely afraid. And Zhu Peng just leaned over to listen, showing his respect.
"Lokov is tough and a little radical and twisted by my years of neglect. Jerle is weak, and I'm pampering this young boy too much...... If it were in normal times, I abdicated and handed over power, it was nothing. But now the whole continent has overturned into what it has become, you know it, I am confident, although I have not done my best in the past two years, but the entire royal family, the entire cabinet, there is no one who can do better than me. ”
"I understand you...... At this moment of national turmoil, it is indeed not suitable for a change of power, and it is precisely because of your prestige and political ability that the entire Duchy of St. Rudin is still stable and fundamental, unlike many countries on this continent, which have collapsed and destroyed, and even the royal family has died. ”
“...... It's good that you understand...... It's good that you understand. Hearing the man's answer, the old man muttered, and the forest fell silent again.
"It's okay...... Can I prolong my life by any witchcraft? I can't die yet, and if I do, the whole Duchy of St. Rudin will be destroyed. Suddenly, she grabbed Zhu Peng's arm that was supporting her, so hard that the cyan blood vessels on her arm became clearly visible.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to help Your Majesty...... But. Speaking of this, Zhu Peng lowered his eyebrows slightly, and then he raised his head to look at the queen's blue-gray eyes, and continued:
"For life-sustaining witchcraft cast by mortals, the difficulty of casting spells and the cost of them are not to be used for the time being, and the biggest taboo of this type of spell is that it cannot be cast repeatedly. Because no matter how the form of casting changes, the essence of the life-sustaining spell is to activate the recipient's somatic cells to the extreme, and want to activate it again...... I'm afraid you'll melt away like a wax figure. ”
“...... You've seen the curse on me?"
"You know, I have free access to the vaults of the Royal Library, and the first emperor who founded the Duchy of St. Rudin was indeed a legendary dark wizard of great skill, and I even suspect that half of his feet have stepped into the realm of demigods, whether it is the Dark Soul or the Curse of Source Blood, both of which have amazed His Majesty. "Dark Souls is the last fight of that legendary peak dark wizard to attack the demigod realm, and it can greatly strengthen his spiritual cultivation.
The source blood curse is the blood-stealing and life-sustaining method of blood relatives within three generations, and the relevant classics in the secret room have been destroyed, but Zhu Peng is still in the remaining clues, finding the truth of this bloodline curse technique: using the life of the blood descendants within three generations as a sacrifice, so that he can gain the ability to seize the vitality of blood relatives within three generations within the scope of transformation contact...... Note that this is essentially a cursed sorcery, which can only be converted by the old being scanned to take the life force of the younger, and this is passive.
That is to say, all the bloodlines within three generations who are close to the queen in front of her, no matter what her subjective will is, will be extracted of vitality, the conversion ratio of direct bloodlines is about ten to one, the farther the bloodline is apart, the lower the conversion ratio is naturally, the queen extracts ten years of life force from her two sons, and can probably convert her own life span for one year, and the second prince Gyer relies on his mother and maintains constant closeness, so he is now so weak that he is paralyzed in a wheelchair, for no other reason, the vitality in his body is transformed.
“...... Egula Helsing, a child who has been desperately searching for the murderer of her parents all these years, will you tell her the truth?" "Egula Helsing's mother is the sister of the monster in front of her, and she is also the sacrifice chosen by the Source Blood Spell back then.
"Legion Commander...... Let her always think that her parents were killed by the Night Clan, I have always felt that some truth is far more cruel than a lie. With Zhu Peng's words, the forest fell into silence for a moment.
"I had a malignant tumor in my head, and if it weren't for my sister's life, I would have died when Lokov and Győr were young. Perhaps, it would be better to die at that time. ”
“...... No matter what you say, I will not sympathize with you, devouring my son's life to support your own survival, when you start to do this, you have already lost your position as a mother, please hold on to your kingdom and die with dignity. When he said this, Zhu Peng's performance and demeanor were still so gentle and gentle, polite, and at the same time had a heartfelt sincerity.
Everyone in the distance felt that these two people were suitable for the monarch and minister, and they talked happily with each other.
"I don't need your sympathy either, in this life I married the power and hurt my sister, I made up for her daughter, I hurt Jer, I made up for his tenfold favor...... Lokov lost his mother's love, but he would eventually take up the scepter and be crowned king, which would be my final curse on him. Pushing away Zhu Peng's palm, the iron-fisted queen of the country walked away accompanied by two henchmen behind her.
For the life of the woman in front of him, Zhu Peng has no way to comment, nothing to say, or...... Seek benevolence and get benevolence, no resentment!?
The month after the parade, the woman in the deep palace who claimed to be married to power died on the throne of her own power, her body decomposing extremely quickly, and that night, the second prince Jer, died violently in his bedroom.
Almost everyone thinks that the eldest prince secretly made a move...... God is pitiful, this black pot prince Lokov has a porcelain back, but it really has nothing to do with him.
