Chapter 13: The Past
The abilities of the members of the Phipe royal family are not eye-catching, the historical Phip royal family is thin, basically a single transmission, the world does not know their strength, except for the first monarch Solomon the Great in the Fourth Age rose up against the rule of the dragons, in the establishment of the Phip Kingdom in a series of battles heroic, people have almost forgotten the terrible ability of the Solomon family. The situation changed www.biquge.info Vera's generation, when the supreme monarch Abel Solomon gave birth to five children, and they began to appear frequently in front of the world, for Vera was the famous magician of the time, and her talent for alchemy amazed the world.
If there was a chance to vote for the most boring mage class, the alchemist would be elected as the first boring class with a high number of votes, leaving runemasters who need to learn three languages to fall in love with. Cultivation, refining, formulating, and every aspect ・・・・・・ not only boring, but also extremely time-consuming and money-consuming, and the resources for cultivating alchemists are not something that ordinary magic families can afford. But Vera was indeed a genius, she was only nineteen years old in the Alchemist New Promotion Contest that year, and most of the participants in that competition were some thirty-year-old alchemists. After the championship was honored, Vera sent him an invitation to compete, and in that competition, Vera defeated the champion and was awarded the title of Champion Magician. Also in the same year, Vera married the Zhigochi clan, and that year Owen clearly remembered that he was only ten years old, just entering the world of magic, and Vera's story was the first living legend he heard, and Vera became his idol.
"Princess, I don't understand ・・・・・・"
"You don't need to understand that this is my own path, the path I chose. Vera staggered away, and Owen felt like he had lost a lot in that moment.
Since then, Nedriy has come to mingle with Owen every night, and Owen has come to accept this reality, or rather, he has fallen in love with the charming Nedri, the unmeek but unique leopard girl.
Vera didn't have a cultivation method specifically suitable for the Beast Spirit Leopard Department in her hand, but a cultivation scroll suitable for the Beast Spirit was already much higher than Owen's original cultivation method, and that scroll was called "Beast Fury". Owen practiced day and night, and he didn't know what Vera was going to do with him, but sooner or later, he couldn't hide from it. After figuring out this layer, Owen calmed down and cultivated, and he faintly felt that his fate in the future would no longer be ordinary, just as extraordinary as his origin.
Owen's full name was Owen Colin, and Colin took his mother's surname, and he was not entitled to take his father's illustrious surname: Targres. The Duke of Taglis of the Philip Kingdom gave birth to him, but he was not treated as a true duke's son. The magic teacher invited by the Duke opened the door to magic for him, and also allowed him to hide in Tibet for the rest of his life, not daring to expose his bloodline, so as not to bring damage to the Duke's reputation. Even on the day when his mother was seriously ill, he sneaked into the duke's manor, and was finally driven out by the giant dog, and when he returned home like a chicken in soup, his mother just took her last breath. On that day, he buried his mother and left Aria, he no longer wanted to live under the fence, he no longer wanted to carry the burden of his surname, he wanted to rely on everything he had, to change the trajectory of the wheel of fate.
Vera walked through the secret passages of this huge court every day, and Owen gradually understood her thoughts, and slowly learned a relatively complete story.
Vera Solomon, the princess of the Nine Counties of the Philip Kingdom, married to the Zhigochi at the age of nineteen, a marriage that is still debated today. The combination of civilization and barbarism, the gains and losses of diplomacy・・・・・・ but no one thought about her happiness, no one.
The windy meadows made her feel inexplicable fear when she first set foot here, the horrible customs of the High Court disgusted her, and the contemptuous eyes of Aukhun made her doubt her mission.
"My Sanrika, my lamb. Oak Hun called her so, and it was much later that she understood what the lamb meant in Zhigochi: cowardly, incompetent, and slaughtered. But Vera is not a lamb, she has terrible strength, she is a formidable alchemist, and her strength makes Oak Hun have to be afraid of three points, at least he dare not let Vera know what he is doing behind his back.
In the same year that Vera married Zhigoch, Oakhun entered a migratory leopard tent, and the following year the woman gave birth to a daughter, who rediscovered Oak Hungarian twelve years later.
Vera and Oakhun were also pregnant with a son, but unfortunately when he was three years old, he contracted a disease that even Vera could not do but watch him die. Vera has done a lot in the past ten years, not only has she gone further and further on the path of cultivation, but she has also changed Gao Ting and Zhigoqi a lot. The people who used to be convenient in the palace are gone, the phenomenon of blatant *** at the festival banquet is gone, and the number of clansmen dying from fighting each other is decreasing・・・・・・ but she can't change the way Aukhun looks at her, and the contemptuous gaze has not changed.
Oak Hungarian hid the mother and son, of course, he knew that the secret would not be hidden for too long, and the open-mouthed Zhigochi people would let Sang Lika know about it sooner or later, although Oak Hungarian called Vera a lamb, when Oak Hungarian knew that this woman had a ruthless spirit in her bones, not to mention that there was a huge Phip country behind her.
One night, Aukhun summoned all the powerful magicians he could find, and he invited Duke Bernd on the other side of the Spirit River. Brilliant but deadly magic shatters the former tranquility of the High Court, and Vera single-handedly fights against the five archmages before being defeated.
"Taste the power of soul magic, my ghost will haunt you day and night. Vera's blood-red eyes were shivering under her coercion, he knew that Vera was also a soul magician, and she was not only an alchemist, but also a terrible woman.
"Squeeze her soul out with the Bone Erosion Bloodarmor, and then repay the Duke of Bernd with the Bloodarmor. Jaime, the royal alchemist of Oak-Hungary, said that his nephew had been imprisoned for killing free slaves by Vera, and that his chance to avenge his family had arrived.
This Bone-Eater Bloodchaser drains the mage's blood little by little throughout the year, and preserves the magical energy contained in the blood, which can be obtained by drinking the blood, even if you are not a vampire. Of course, now that there is a vampire duke, whoever snatches this piece of fat from him will probably have to weigh his own life every night in the future.
The Bone Eater Armor was quickly created, so that Vera would not have any magical abilities before she died, and she would die harmlessly. In fact, Vera doesn't know that kind of terrifying soul magic at all, it's just a kind of intimidation. When Vera was donned with heavy bone-eating armor, and when the bone nails struck her every bone marrow, she almost told Aukhun the truth. But she endured it, because Oak Hun would not believe her, and he wanted her to die safely.
Vera was kept in a dark dungeon all day, with only one old woman coming to bring her food every day. Barbarians are barbarians, and Oak Hun should not have found such an old woman from the outskirts of the High Court to take care of Vera and threaten her with her two sons.
"My husband was slain by my king. The whereabouts of my two sons are unknown. The old woman said sadly, her eyes full of unknown despair.
"I can help you find your son, I swear. Vera gasped, she had been locked up for more than half a year, and the magic energy in her body was running out.
"Whatever you ask for, I'll give you, Sanrika. The old woman trembled and knelt in front of Vera, kissing her fingers exposed outside the iron armor.
"Will you trade souls with me, will you bear what I have suffered?" said Vera, trembling.
"Yes, as long as it is for the sake of my son, I am willing to do anything, old and decrepit, and I am willing to suffer for Sanrika. ”
Vera's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils turning snow-white, "No, it's your soul, my body. The old woman looked at Vera's pupils, and her soul escaped into the boundless darkness. The magic of the soul has no brilliance, no sound, but the throbbing of the soul distorts space and silences all things.
When Vera opened her eyes again, she was already standing outside the Bone Eater Armor, and at this time she didn't dare to absorb the magic energy stored in the Bone Eater Armor, she needed some magic energy as an introduction, and the old woman didn't have any magic energy in her body. Vera silently put away the basket and returned to the hut that Oak Hun had prepared for the old woman.
At night, Vera followed the map in her memory, passed through the layers of guards, and returned to her room, Sanrika's room. It was still the same as it had been after the battle that night, and no one dared to touch the alchemist's room, so it was left here as a forgotten corner. Vera swallowed some medicines that were conducive to the cultivation of magic energy, and immediately began to cultivate magic energy. The next day, she packed up her food and went back to the dungeon.
The container behind the Bone Eater Armor was already filled with demonic blood, Vera's blood. Without thinking much about it, Vera unloaded the tin can and drank the dark red liquid.
"Sanrika, Sanrika, will you go and save my son?" the old woman groaned in pain.
"Mother-in-law, if I go to save your son, I am afraid that I will alarm them, and I am afraid that you will be killed by then. Vera tugged at her former fingers, unable to bear to say.
"Sanrika, Sanrika, I'm in so much pain, you end my life, go save my son. ”
"No, mother-in-law・・・・・・"
"Sanrika, to end my ordeal, it is your greatest mercy, please・・・・・・"
Trembling fingers told Vera of her pain, and Vera stroked the familiar palms and closed her eyes・・・・・
When Vera arrived at the old woman's house in the suburbs, she saw only two corpses with bones exposed, full of stench and rotting insects. She lit the grass hut with a fire, and the terrifying flames released rose into the sky, and in the flickering firelight, her shadow was reflected, like a ghost, like a dream・・・・・・
