Chapter 222: Infinite Vitality in Absolute Death
"The Eternal Secret of Life?" Emperor Augustine's gaze instantly sharpened: "If I really gain eternal life, I'm afraid many people will be unhappy." β
Prime Minister Gabril doesn't know if he slapped himself on the horse's ass or on the horse's hooves this time. He quietly looked at the chamberlain standing behind the Emperor, who closed his eyes and did not look at him.
Could it be that the rumors are false?
"Your Majesty, under your rule, the Empire has ushered in an unprecedented period of prosperity. We sincerely hope that you will be in good health and lead the empire to continue to maintain the momentum of national growth, so that all nations will bow their heads to congratulate. β
After a clichΓ©, Prime Minister Gabril felt that the pressure on his body suddenly decreased a lot. Although Augustine the Great was old, the power of the emperor did not diminish in the slightest.
"If you can apply all these crooked thoughts to political affairs, I will work less and live longer. Grover was relieved of all his duties, and staying in Angry Waves City was also a troublemaker, so that he could come to the imperial capital...... Give him a job at the Imperial Institute of Transcendent Species. β
After listening to Augustine's words, Gabriel instantly understood that he had just made himself smart.
Life is eternal...... Can such a thing be said on such an occasion?
The image of Augustine the Great is iron-fisted and tough, and if he openly pursues the eternity of life, he is tantamount to exposing his own weakness.
At this time, Prime Minister Gabril wanted to slap himself in the face, and he was really confused about the affairs of Angry Wave City.
Fortunately, Grover's life was saved.
The meteorite has also been transferred away from Fury Wave City, and its own interests have been stopped in time, and there may not be no possibility of a turnaround in the future.
Gabliel commanded.
The Imperial Cabinet meeting continues.
Angry Waves.
Taking advantage of the power brought by the naval battle of Brilliant Island, Meteorite accepted the surrender of all parties in the city day and night, and made money until his eyes were weak, so that he lacked rest and lost his spirit.
The Innovation Society is also expanding at full capacity. Three members of the council have defected, while the other two are in a wait-and-see mode. The Cicisay Palace was full all day, to the point where all standing tickets were sold out.
The defeat was like a mountain.
Almost everyone believes that even if the city is not directly governed by the empire this time, the parliamentary system will exist in name only. In the future, the city will be the eldest princess's, and only by climbing this big tree can she continue to enjoy the shade.
Such a devastating victory surprised Luke to a certain extent. If you kill Grover again, Angry Waves City will be completely in your pocket.
If you have no power to restrain yourself in Angry Waves City, it will only increase the risk factor of going to the imperial capital.
It is necessary to prepare for self-protection measures in advance.
Luke stopped receiving visitors, and it wasn't important to come at this time anyway, so he could let Karina receive him on his behalf.
He returned to his dormitory, and then followed the secret passage to the secret room.
Clear skies are already waiting here.
All the mysterious props to be used are prepared, and the most conspicuous one is a coffin standing in the middle of the secret room.
Clear Sky opened the coffin, revealing a corpse in prison clothes.
The deceased was a young man of Luke's grade, with an imaginary height and size. He had not been dead for long, his skin was still bloody, and there were no wounds visible on his body.
Luke stood in front of the coffin, looking at the young corpse in front of him with a blank face, and Clear Sky took a recurve knife from the workbench and placed it in his hand. The knife is engraved with runes on the surface of the knife, and there is a blood-colored streamer shaking, and it is a mysterious item that has been made in advance by Clear Sky.
At this moment, the electric lights in the room went out, and a circle of candles arranged around the coffin automatically burned into a green flame. The atmosphere in the secret room became oppressive, and a faint gray mist swirled around.
Luke holds the knife in his right hand and makes a cut in the palm of his left hand. Blood flowed out of the wound, and he clenched his hand into a fist, and the blood flowed upwards from the tiger's mouth.
The blood that flowed upwards separated into countless lines of blood in the air and pierced the corpse inside the coffin. The blood threads easily pierced the corpse's skin and into the veins that had not yet stiffened. The blood vessels bulged against the skin like tendons, and the corpse's face showed a painful look.
Luke's blood remained, pouring into the corpse's veins.
Clear Sky stood and watched, keeping an eye on Luke's physical condition. When Luke collapsed from blood loss, he stepped forward and hugged him, then placed him on the prepared chaise longue.
Then he took out the plasma for Luke's blood transfusion, checked his physical function, and did a full body massage to dredge the meridians. During this period, the recovery magic is released every ten minutes, and a tube of recovery potion is fed.
After two hours of rescue, Luke finally escaped from the danger period with the powerful recovery ability of the troll bloodline and the rescue of Clear Sky.
He sat up from the chaise longue with the help of the clear sky, then stood up and walked to the front of the coffin.
When he was just in his dying state, he successfully established contact with the corpse in the effect of the arcane art, completing the most important step of this arcane language.
The corpse inside the coffin exuded vitality all over its body, like a sleeping person. If you examine it, you can still feel its heart beating in a tiny amplitude, and the blood is flowing under the impetus of mysterious forces.
Mystery Item: Substitute for the Dead.
Made, done.
When Luke is faced with a lethal attack, the Grim Ghost can save him from the disaster. Even if the head is cut off, the head that is lost is for the dead ghost.
This is the life-saving hole card that Luke prepared for himself for this trip to the imperial capital. The difficulty of making a substitute ghost is to find a corpse that looks similar to oneself in various ways, and you need to transfuse yourself to a near-death state in order to complete the production of a substitute ghost.
The corpse is not difficult for the chief inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Angry Waves City.
Although it is dangerous to have a blood transfusion to a near-death state, it can be rescued with adequate preparation. It's just that the body will be weak for a while, and it can only recover if you take care of it.
Now the subject of the Arcane Language is there.
Luke stood facing the coffin again, and the clear sky slowly retreated outside the circle of the arcane ritual, placing the auxiliary words needed for the arcane language in the right place one by one.
The candle's green head erupted, spewing upwards a two-meter-high pillar of fire. Under the light of the fire, the walls of the chamber reflected figures writhing in extremely strange postures.
Standing in the clear sky outside the ritual circle, she recited a powerful incantation, and a golden sword was pulled out of the void by her. Then several golden words appeared out of thin air, slapping on her body one by one, splashing with golden light.
A killing aura erupted from Qingtian's body outward, and the sword qi flew in the golden sound, and the killing momentum rushed to the ghosts on the wall and vanished.
Luke's secret words that are about to be released have very big sequelae, and they will be taken advantage of by the resentment of death to invade the body.
Players are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of trouble.
If you want not to be disturbed by the sequelae, you must quickly eliminate these negative energy of death that is ready to invade when the arcane language is activated.
The use of divine energy can quickly eliminate the negative energy of death, but in the study of the ancient Shimmering Golden Language, Clear Sky found that although the energy generated by the Ancient Shining Golden Language is not as good as the Divine Energy Royal Dao, the stronger domineering energy is better to deal with this kind of negative energy.
Sure enough, this time he released the ancient Shuojin language, and close to the sword momentum that emanated, he washed away those dirty things.
At this time, in the irradiation of golden light, there was no longer a sense of depression in the secret room. The overwhelming momentum emanated from Qingtian's body in waves, like a Valkyrie guarding Luke's back.
Luke's whole body, which was also infected by this momentum, seemed to be full of strength, and he stared at the corpse inside the coffin, and read the secret words:
Infinite life in the midst of death.
At this moment, the corpse inside the coffin opened its eyes. He had beautiful blue eyes, and he looked at Luke with infinite life. Then the corpse came out of the coffin and dissipated into starlight.
Starlight fluttered around Luke, and Luke took out an iron ring and put it on the little finger of his left hand, and Starlight instantly burrowed into the iron ring.
The two-meter circle of candlelight around the coffin was extinguished instantly, and all the auxiliary words used as arcane techniques were scattered and disappeared.
Luke looked at the ring on the little finger of his left hand, which had an extra circle of spell runes. When he looked up again, the corpse was standing in the coffin again, his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep again.
The ritual of the arcane art ends.
A weakened Luke's feet softened, but the clear sky held him up again.
"Settle Grover as soon as possible. He doesn't want the place I left him, so don't let him trouble me again. β
"I know, when he gathers people together, I'll serve them all in one pot."
Clear Sky gives Luke a drip, and after making sure he's okay, he leaves down the river. There's a lot going on at Oulu Academy, and Grover will come to him at any time.
This hidden danger must be solved before going to the imperial capital.
After Luke regained some strength, he left the chamber and returned to the Secret Bureau. As soon as she sat down, Karina pushed the door open and walked in.
"Chief Inspector, a letter from Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. You, why is your complexion so bad...... Are you alive...... I'm going to call the doctor. β
Just as Karina turned to go to the doctor, Luke stopped her.
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm too busy and a little tired these days. You said that there was a letter from the eldest princess to me, where is the letter? β
Karina took out a letter from the folder in her hand and put it in Luke's hand, and then lowered her head to observe Luke's expression: "Chief Inspector, I think your condition is very serious, let's let the doctor take a look." β
"Say it's okay, don't tell what you see." Luke instructed Karina to take a bottle of potion from a drawer and drink it, then pick up the eldest princess's letter and check the envelope seal.
Confirm that the envelope is correct.
This time, Agatha's letter was more succinct. She tells Luke that the events in Angry Waves have aroused the suspicion of Emperor Augustine, and that if he does not come to the imperial capital, both of them will get into big trouble.
This was to be expected by Luke.
It's no wonder that the new nobles in Angry Waves City are still addicted to food, and you are looking for trouble in a situation that everyone can accept. Importantly...... If I lose, I have to struggle a little bit, so that I can create a situation that seems stable to outsiders.
As a result, some people squeezed their heads to take refuge, and others wanted to fight again, turning bicycles into motorcycles.
It's not that Luke doesn't want to stop, it's that he can't stop it.
can only watch as he wants to take full control of Angry Waves City.
Of course, the emperor and ministers sitting in the imperial capital did not want to see this situation. Agatha certainly didn't want to see this in the Angry Waves, but she couldn't help it.
At this time, Luke is a real tree, and his own tree is not big enough to fight against the entire empire.
There is one more reason to go to the imperial capital.
Agatha then recounted to Luke the contents of the Imperial Council, and that Grover would be relieved of his duties and transferred to the Imperial Capital. She told Luke to keep an eye on his own safety, especially on the way to the imperial capital, and the Cruciers would do everything they could to stop him.
Finally, Agatha tells Luke about some of the dos and don'ts of arriving in the imperial capital.
"Your Majesty has agreed that you will continue to serve as the Chief Inspector of the General Intelligence Bureau of Angry Waves City, which I have tried so hard to win for you. I don't know if it's right or wrong for the Empire, but I'm willing to let my sincerity show my goodwill to you.
Once you arrive in the imperial capital, you will soon be questioned by His Majesty. I will tell you in advance what His Majesty will ask and how he will answer. As long as you can get His Majesty's approval, you will definitely be able to take on important positions and start another legend of yours.
In a word...... Everything will wait until you arrive safely in the imperial capital.
I'm looking forward to meeting you.
This must be a meeting that can be recorded in the annals of the Empire. β
Agatha's tone in this letter has changed again, without the strength of the first letter, nor the pretense of humility in the second letter.
The words in my heart are more like chatting with old friends. Although it is about national affairs, it gives people a strong sense of intimacy.
It seems that Agatha also understood why the first two letters were not answered. This time, she won a complete victory in Angry Waves City, and the imperial capital had to go, so she did not invite herself to go to the imperial capital in the letter, but more about what to do when she went to the imperial capital.
After reading the letter, Luke lit it, and was looking forward to seeing what Agatha would be like.
It is not known if she is the same as the eldest princess in the game.
After waiting for the letter to burn out, Karina asked Luke, "Chief Inspector, are you so happy, is it Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess who sent you back to the imperial capital?" β
"Am I happy?" Luke immediately put away his unconscious smile: "It's something to be happy about...... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is indeed going to transfer me back to the imperial capital, and the official order should arrive soon.
When I arrive in the Imperial Capital, I will be questioned by His Majesty and then entrusted with important tasks.
It's going to be busy again.
You get the job done as soon as possible and buy what you need. The Imperial Capital is not the same as the Angry Waves City, and some things are not easy to buy. β
Hearing that the Chief Inspector was going to meet the Emperor and would be promoted, Karina was even happier than she was to be an official.
"Yes, Chief Inspector, I'll take care of all the work! Do you need to be accompanied by others when you return to the imperial capital this time?
If Your Majesty has an important task entrusted to you, the people here can use it immediately. β
Luke thought about it for a moment: "You inform Shelley, Pisco, and Sandpaper to prepare, and then let Shelley pick a group of reliable agents." You're right, going to the imperial capital this time must be a convenient hand for your own people. β
