Chapter 121: Temptation and Command
In the nick of time, Aluka jumped behind Lucas with a flash, dodging Lucas's blow aimed at his head while swinging a knife at Lucas's back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info His strength was far inferior to Sinon's, and he collided with his armor and splashed a little spark, but he couldn't knock Lucas away.
"You dodged it...... Lucas turned his head slowly, his eyes as warm as the frost he was used to, but with a slight smile. He looked at Aluca and said, "Is this a space-related ability? It's really rare, it's just a civilian...... The ability of the red-haired boy is also rare, and he can regenerate his body even with only one head left, and this healing ability is comparable to the White Sect's Holy Light Reincarnation Technique...... Did Catherine take a fancy to your abilities?"
Hearing him say these nonsensical words, Aluca's eyes drifted, and his gaze inadvertently crossed Lucas's shoulder, and found that the finger ice that attacked him was only a short section, and the length was not enough to pierce his temple, which showed that Lucas had no intention of killing himself at all.
A flash of realization flashed in his eyes, and he frowned and asked, "Are you deliberately playing tricks on us?"
With a graceful wave of his hand, Lucas melted the ice line that filled the alley and turned into a hot stream. Then he struck his pale right fist in the left chest, struck the breastplate, stooped in a military salute, his expression hidden under his long silver hair, and said, "For the sake of Her Highness Catherine...... I apologize to you for the battle that just happened. β
"If the apology is useful, why do you want the Knights?" Aruka put the death back into its sheath and said angrily, "You were lying just now? Why are you hating the Rhine royal family and the Red Sect because your sister was killed, are they all fake? You just want to find a reason to do something to us!"
Lucas replied in a cold tone: "You and your companions were obviously sent by Her Highness Catherine, but you wanted to pretend to be mercenaries, so you clashed with the defenders of El City, and wounded dozens of knights. They are all my people, and I have to make you pay something. Also, although I have collected a very detailed collection of information about the two of you, the human heart can only be seen when you are face to face. I must put your loyalty to the test of your life, and at a time when the Rhine's survival is at stake, we cannot allow anyone else to exist. β
"Besides......" Lucas paused, his eyes were complicated, and his face was as bitter as swallowing a briquette, "It's true about my sister, there was a time when I regarded the Rhine Kingdom as an enemy and planned to uproot the Rhine Kingdom with the Hill Empire. But then ......"
"I'm not interested in hearing your journey, Brother Sinon and I were not sent by Catherine, we were sent by Duke Roland, the head of the Knights of the Burning Sun. "The most annoying thing about Aruca is being tricked, and he would rather Lucas really want to kill him and Sinon, but it's a big deal to find a way to escape today and do it again in the future. As the saying goes, green mountains do not change the green water, let's fight again in the future.
"You said you wanted to test our loyalty, but if it weren't for Brother Xinong's ability to regenerate, he would be a dead man by now! Besides, the Hill Empire has come to your backyard, aren't you busy consolidating the city defenses, why do you spend so much time trying to test us?"
"Don't get so excited. Lucas's face changed quickly, and he put on a nonchalant smile again, as if he was not the one who had killed Aluca and Sinon just now. He said in a calm tone, "I naturally have a reason to tempt you. Two days ago, my army retreated to El City along with the remnants of the Knights of the Burning Sun, and immediately a woman came to my door, claiming to be a Red Cult secret agent, wearing the bracelet of the Red Cult Inquisition, and wanted to talk to me alone. The Red Cult's Sun God bracelet can't be faked, so I went with her to the council chamber of the Lord of El City. β
At this point, Sinong, who had broken free from the seal of the ice line, walked over, and Aluka told him about the current situation. Sinong can think about it, but he can't beat Lucas anyway, and it's better to be recruited now than to run away like a reservoir dog.
Aluca, on the other hand, was still a little depressed, not that he felt ashamed of being played, but that he was annoyed that he didn't see that he was being played. He doesn't feel upset when he loses to anyone in a fight, but he feels very unhappy when he is given a blow.
After hearing that a Red Sect spy had found Lucas, Sinong immediately remembered Miss Mi'er, and hurriedly asked, "Is the woman who found you wearing a blue dress?"
"Exactly, it looks like you've seen it. Judging from his expression, Lucas was not surprised by this, but it may also be that the facial muscle nerves were necrotic due to the perennial low temperature environment, and he couldn't make much expression...... The above is the belly slander of Aluca.
"As you can guess, the rest will happen. After entering the council chamber, she attempted to assassinate me, and in the three minutes between the start of the battle and the arrival of my guards, she used a total of fifty-eight different high-level divine arts, and the entire upper level of the castle of the Lord of El was blown away by our battle. Lucas showed an appreciative expression, which was very difficult for him, and it could be seen from his words and deeds that he was a man who was more arrogant than an iceberg, "She is the strongest woman I have ever met...... It's not strong enough, at least not enough to hurt me, though. β
Arouca said half-incredulously, "What do you mean...... You defeated her unscathed, so how could you still be ...... by Big Brother Xinong?"
"I just wanted to see if the redhead in White Grass Village lived up to its name......" Lucas chuckled, "huhe...... Among civilians of inferior blood, you are considered a master. β
"Seriously, because you were assassinated by a crazy woman pretending to be a secret agent, you began to doubt life and doubt the world, and you wanted to test it when you saw someone?" Aruka sarcastically said.
Lucas was full of self-restraint, ignoring Aluca's sarcasm at all, and smiled: "El City is the last line of defense, and I will not allow any accidents to happen until I fight the army of the Hill Empire again...... Besides, even if you two die because of my trials...... What do I have to lose?"
"Okay, okay, now that you're done with the test, we can go, right?" Aruka turned around and left, saying as he went, "I'm not interested in giving my life to someone who doesn't trust me, it's none of our business, whoever likes to do it." β
"Wait a minute. Sinon stopped Aluca, "Don't be a child, since you're here, you'll get the job done." β
Aluka had no choice but to turn back and object: "The military order is the military order of the Knights of the Burning Sun, should we hand it over in the presence of the head of the branch?"
When Lucas heard the word military order, he said: "No need, I am the supreme commander of all the armies in the Duchy of Gay, and the branch of the Knights of the Scorching Sun is also under my control, you can just give me the military order." β
Sinong asked Aruca, "What do you think?"
"Theoretically, the headquarters of the Knights of the Burning Sun does have the power to command the Grand Duke Guy, and the Grand Duke Guy also has the power to command the branch of the Knights of the Burning Sun, anyway, that's what it says in the book. But in fact, you know what the situation is, and the order of the king will be ...... outside," Aruka muttered, "It's a pity that the herald is dead, otherwise we wouldn't be so passive, and it would be much easier for a big nobleman to step forward at this time...... Personally, I don't want to give the military order to this iceberg-faced bastard, but listen to him, we will still be snatched away by him after we hand it over to the branch minister, so let's save some time for each of us......"
Xinon also wanted to get rid of the mess as soon as possible, so he took out the military order in the envelope from his bosom and handed it to Lucas. The moment the military order was received by Lucas, Xinon suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and finally successfully completed the task.
Lucas carefully examined the wax stamp of the envelope to make sure it had not been opened, and then held it up to the sun.
Arouca asked, confused, "What are you doing here?"
"The orders of the Knights of the Sun have seals stamped with special ink...... Lucas explained softly, "Seals are visible in the sun, and they serve two purposes, one is to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and the other is to distinguish the level of secrecy of the military order according to the color of the seal. The seal on this letter is a reddish-gold ......"
"Uh...... What does that mean?" asked Sinon.
"This means ......," Lucas put down the envelope, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "This is the highest level of secrecy military order, please recuse yourself." β
Hearing this, Alucca and Xinon had no choice but to turn their backs, and at this time they dared to lean over and peek, but they might have shot a finger ice into their heads. So far, they have only seen Lucas's three abilities: Finger Ice, Ice Yui, and Ice Flame True Spirit. But based on Lucas' performances, he certainly has other qualities.
If "Blood Chant" is equated with "Bloodline Ability", then Lucas is a God Destroyer with N bloodline skills. But Aluka only has three bloodline skills, and Xinong only has two, and increasing the bloodline concentration and rank only strengthens the existing bloodline skills, and does not add new bloodline skills.
"This means that ......" thought of the bloodline skill, and Aluka was immersed in his own thoughts, "just like magic and magic, the bloodline provided by the end is also a quick version." Just like the orthodox magician, you have to start with the basics of magic, and slowly understand the composition, how it works, and how it is related to each other...... Through this knowledge, we can reach out to the class. Draw inferences from each other and learn a fireball technique, and you can deduce more fire-based magic through the fireball technique, and even create your own magic. In the end, only one scroll will be provided to the God Slayer, so that they can use it immediately without the need for a learning process.
The same is true for the descendants of the Divine Blood, if I hadn't handed over the Warm Sun Essence to Catherine, there would have been no Divine Cultivator with a very high bloodline concentration in the end at all. Lacking the process of learning to control one's own bloodline ability, it directly provides a quick bloodline skill from the end, which is why the God Pterminator can only have a fixed few bloodline skills!
If I can learn more about the God of the Wasteland Walkers, better understand the abilities of my main bloodline, and analyze its principles, just like practicing the [Eye of Vision], I can gain new bloodline skills!"
Although he thought his conjecture was correct, in fact, the copycat version of Turtle Wave Qigong released through the [Eye of Vision] was not entered into the personal information interface by the Zhushen Ring. In other words, the extended usage of [Eye of Vision] counts as a combat skill mastered by Aluka, not a separate skill.
From this point of view, even if you deepen your understanding of the bloodline and master the new ability, I am afraid that it will not be entered into the personal information interface and will be counted as a new bloodline skill...... In this way, you will not be able to get a chance to improve the quality of your bloodline skills for free by increasing your rank.
Most of Lucas Guy's "blood songs" are bloodline skills that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Guy family, and they have special cultivation methods for future generations to learn.
"Aru ......"
If you think about it carefully, the god of the wasteland walkers carried the remains of the Yaki Great Snake to the south that day, saying that he was looking for the [Beacon]...... Isn't the Rhine Kingdom to the south?
"...... Aluca!"
It seems that after this side of the matter is settled, it is necessary to quickly return to the Rhine Kingdom to find the traces of the god of the wasteland walkers, and ask him to help deepen his understanding of the bloodline's abilities......
"Hey, Aluca, you're wandering again. Sinong patted Aluca's head and sighed helplessly, "If you get distracted in battle, you'll die." β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ...... if I'm not careful" Aluka is still more conscious of her own problems, but she just doesn't bother to change it, "Is there something wrong?"
Sinon tilted his head and raised his chin, and gestured, "Lord Lucas has something to say to us......" He gave Arouca a meaningful look, "Look at his expression, this matter is quite troublesome, if you don't want to do it, push it, I support you this time." β
"What Lord Lucas, you just call him Iceberg Face...... Men with facial paralysis can also do it. The color of the skin is the same as the sashimi that is sliced and laid out on ice......"
Lucas just raised his head and heard Aluca's analogy, the first reaction was "Well, it's quite ......", the second reaction was "Lao Tzu fought with you!", the corner of his eyes twitched and counterattacked: "What qualifications do you have to say about me, a dead fish eye who has lived like insomnia for many years and can't wake up all your life?"
"Lord Lucas, watch your demeanor......" Sinoon coughed twice, "Let's get back to business, Aluca, don't interrupt again." β
"Okay......" said Aruka gloomily, "I don't know what else I mean in a life that can't be interrupted......"
"Then you hurry up and die to benefit the Saint-Ainos Continent. Lucas angrily threw the military order in his hand to Sinoon and said, "What mission the Duke of Roland ordered me to perform, you can see for yourself!"
"This ...... I'm afraid it's not good, ...... in our capacity," Xinong hesitated.
"I'm the supreme commander here, I'll give you permission, hurry up and see. Lucas urged.
Aluka also leaned over and read the military orders written by the Duke of Roland with Sinonon himself.
The content of the military order was not only numerous but also quite complicated, but it only took a few seconds for Aluka to scan the whole text, and his face suddenly sank to the point that he could drip water, as if he had just swallowed a few disgusting bugs raw. Then he didn't care whether Xinon finished reading it or not, and directly snatched the military order, and burned it to ashes with a fireball technique.
"It's none of our business. Aluka frowned and said solemnly, "I'm serious, I hate this kind of trouble, you can solve it yourself." β
Lucas chuckled disdainfully and said, "Don't be so naΓ―ve...... This in itself must be done with the cooperation of the herald. I ask you, what about the herald?"
"Died in the earthquake of the Hermit Forest...... Xinon replied embarrassedly.
"So now it's up to you to do it. Lucas said in an unquestionable tone.
Aluka was really anxious this time, and said angrily: "Are you stupid for me? Assassinate the head of the Knights of the Burning Sun? If you follow the plan in Duke Roland's military order, the role of the herald will not survive at all." The plan is to have the herald come to you first, and after you have read the order, forge a new order and return it to the herald. Send a few more dead men to follow the herald, and take the herald to the sub-minister. When the herald delivers the forged military order to the sub-minister, your dead soldier suddenly attacks and kills the sub-minister. So the herald became the mastermind, and the contents of the military order you forged were evidence that the Hill Empire contacted the herald...... I know it's a fire pit now, and I'm going to jump into it?"
Xinong also said with a gloomy face: "I am more concerned about ...... Why did Duke Roland assassinate his own men? I remember that the head of the Principality of Guy branch of the Knights of the Burning Sun was Brandon 'Cliff'? He is a war hero who has been heavily promoted by the Rhine Kingdom in recent years, and has made countless feats in the army of the Hill Empire on the border, and he is also one of the few knight commanders in the southern countries who has fought against the Bright Crusade, and he is also very prestigious among civilians. β
"Although I have not met Sir Roland face to face...... But I could almost guess what the Duke of Roland was thinking. Lucas had a sad face and a low voice, as if in repentance, "There is only one reason why Count Brandon is dying...... He was an obstacle to the surrender of the Duchy of Gay. β
