Chapter 18: The Giant Court Sect
"Living creatures?"
Hodge looked at the slightly beating black cloth bag, and inexplicably felt a chill, and there was a strange evil aura, which was constantly wafting out of the cloth bag.
This evil aura is exactly the same as the smell of O'Neal.
Hodge instinctively felt disgusted.
Abhor?
Hodge was stunned for a moment, then understood something, looked at the black cloth bag, and asked, "What is in the cloth bag?" ”
"Young Master Hui, this is the evil creature of the [Giant Court Sect], which has extremely strong depraved power, and can make the extraordinary person of the knight path unconsciously degenerate and go crazy, and become a fanatical believer of the giant clan, the reason why O'Neill mutated and went crazy is because he was polluted by this giant statue."
"Just now, when Russell escaped with you, I sensed that this statue had undergone a mutation, devouring the blood of living people, and gradually appeared alive, in order to prevent the statue from completely mutating and devouring the entire village, I chose to go and deal with it first."
"I'm sorry for the danger I caused."
"Doctor Bird's Beak," explained hoarsely.
"The Giant Court Sect?" When Hodge heard this name, his face was a little unpleasant, and he was a cult that he had never heard of, why did the evil creatures of the Giant Court Sect appear in the fiefdom?
Who is calculating his father, Marquis Bach?
"Since you saw O'Neill mutate into a giant, why didn't you make a move in the first place, but chose to watch from the sidelines?"
Hodge looked at "Doctor Bird's Beak" and asked another question.
The explanation of "Doctor Bird's Beak" is logically fine, but there are still loopholes.
Since he is his own bodyguard, why does he not choose to solve it as soon as possible when he encounters danger, but waits from the sidelines?
It doesn't make sense.
"Lord Marquis, let me intervene at the right time to ensure your safety, and at the same time investigate whether the people next to you are in danger?" "Doctor Bird's Beak" replied in a calm tone.
"So, you put my life on test the loyalty of Russell and Besimo?" Hodge held back his anger and said coldly.
"Back to the young master, I must make sure that the two of them are not infected." "Doctor Bird's Beak" said in an indifferent tone.
Hodge sneered: "Heh, they were almost killed by O'Neill in order to protect me, are you satisfied with this result?" ”
"Do you think they're loyal enough?"
Hearing Hodge's sarcastic words, the tone of the "Bird's Beak Doctor" was still unwavering, and he said, "Young Master, I will ask the Marquis for my guilt, this is my dereliction of responsibility." ”
"Your name?" Hodge looked at the "Birdbeak Doctor" and said with a blank face.
If Hodge's personal maids saw Hodge's expression at this moment, they would definitely be frightened and tremble, because this expression meant that Hodge was really angry.
"Will Cortez." "Bird's beak doctor," Will Cortez, replied.
"Okay." Hodge nodded and commanded, "Untie the grip on them." ”
"Yes." Birdbeak doctor Will Cortez tapped his cane, and an invisible ripple vibrated out, and in an instant, the paralysis and restraint on the two of them completely disappeared.
Russell and Behemo hurriedly stood up, glanced at Will, the bird-beaked doctor, with some fear, and did not say a word.
With the conversation between Hodge and Will, they already understand what happened, and why Will didn't make the first move.
They still understand Will's choice.
But at the same time, they could understand Master Hodge's anger.
Because Will was derelict in his duties, and at the same time, he also took advantage of Master Hodge.
This is something that is absolutely difficult to accept as a host.
This is the following offense.
"Prepare the horse, I'm going back to the mansion." Hodge commanded.
"There you go."
"Yes, young master." Will bowed slightly, his figure moved, and disappeared in place.
Hodge looked at Will who came and went without a trace, squinted slightly, and asked, "Do you know this Will Cortez?" ”
Besimo shook his head and said; "I don't know."
"It seems that the last foreign war, the Marquis captured the enemy general from the rebel army in the New Gil area." Russell seemed to understand, and said softly: "I heard the old man in the village tell me about this, this Will seems to have been burned extensively in the last war, and the whole person is not a ghost, and finally was rescued by the Marquis, in order to repay the favor, he chose to stay and become a slave in the mansion." ”
"Repay the favor? Slave? The New Gir area? ”
Hodge chewed on these words, and a related memory came to his mind, this was a war ten years ago, in order to continue to expand, occupy land, minerals, coal and other resources, and frame a reason to launch an attack on the New Gir region.
This attack suffered fierce resistance from the rebels, and the empire suffered heavy losses, but in the end it still took most of the area, only a small part of the area, and did not capture it for the time being.
"He just defeated you all at once, and according to your judgment, what is his way? What is the approximate sequence? Hodge asked another question.
After the battle of life and death, Hodge has a lot of trust in these two responsible persons.
Especially now that O'Neal has disposed of the suspected source, Hodge currently believes that the two are trustworthy.
Of course, follow-up observations are needed.
After all, O'Neill's mutation can only show that he may be one of the reasons why the cavalry regiment was unable to support the mansion in the end, and it cannot fully prove that Russell and Bessemo are not problematic.
"At least a strong person at the 6th level of the sequence, the path should be related to the night and the god of death, the aura on his body is gloomy and cold, and it is definitely not something that the knight path or the magician path can have." Besimo immediately gave his own judgment.
"The Dark Path? The Grim Reaper Path? ”
Hodge bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, I see." ”
"You cultivate well, this matter, when the time comes, you still need to go to the mansion and report to the Marquis in person."
"Yes, young master." Russell and Besimo nodded hurriedly and said respectfully.
A short time later, Will, the beaked doctor, led the dark black steed and walked up to Hodge.
Hodge didn't talk nonsense, turned on his horse, flicked the reins, and ran away in the direction of the mansion.
Will looked at Hodge's figure in the distance, his body moved, raised his hand to grab O'Neill's head and decaying body, and disappeared back into place.
The whole person came and went without a trace, leaving no trace, like a ghost in the spirit world.
"Russell, you found no...... On O'Neill's corpse, there are no extraordinary properties to suck out ......"
It wasn't until the two of them left, sore and scarred Beximo that he sat down and said in a rather complicated tone.
"That wine glass, in the process of extracting blood, fused extraordinary properties with blood, which is also the reason why blood wine can enhance and weaken the essential power, in a sense, that cup of blood wine is equivalent to the extraordinary characteristics after neutralization and purification."
The female magician Russell's tone was a little complicated, as an extraordinary person promoted by the Sequence 9 pharmacist, she knew very well how difficult it was to neutralize and purify the extraordinary characteristics, and if she wanted to refine the blood of the extraordinary person into the corresponding potion, the success rate was simply pitiful.
Take the thin werewolf blood potion that Hodge took out as an example, if Russell is allowed to refine it, the probability of failure will reach seventy percent, because the extraordinary characteristics are essentially crazy and evil, and in the process of purification, it is accumulating madness and accumulating evil, which may lead to the pharmacist being tempted, infected, and making incomprehensible actions, which will eventually lead to the failure of refining the potion and becoming a madman himself.
And the blood cup in Hodge's hand was able to perfectly fuse extraordinary properties with blood in just a dozen breaths, and directly make blood wine similar to medicine, which is simply unbelievable?
"This kind of ability is impossible for even the most senior pharmacist in the Salom Empire to do!!"
Hearing this, Beximo's expression also became solemn, and he asked, "Then according to your estimate, what level can that blood cup reach if it is sent to the three major churches for evaluation?" ”
The degree of a "Class 3" seal, or even a Level "2" seal. Russell gave his own answer.
Besimor frowned, seriously recalled what the Knights' Hall and the Church had taught him, and said slowly:
The "Church of Light" Level 3" seal, at least two or more low-rank extraordinaires need to apply together before they can be used, and it is assessed as having a certain risk and the possibility of falling. ”
"Level 2 seals, assessed by the church as extremely dangerous, and if not properly operated, they may cause collective destruction at the village and town levels, corresponding to the middle sequence level."
"Our current level is still a low sequence, and only from sequence 6 can it be called a medium sequence."
"In other words, the blood cup in the young master's hand is a ...... formed by the fusion of extraordinary characteristics of sequence 6 or above."
"Well, just now Will said that O'Neill was contaminated by the giant statue, and the statue has the property of being alive, and once it awakens, it will devour the entire village, which shows that the giant statue that polluted O'Neill is also a magical item at the middle sequence level." Russell snorted lightly, recalling Will's words just now, "Being able to deal with the mutation of magical items in the sequence, that Will is at least a strong person in Sequence 6, or even higher." ”
"What the hell is going on lately?"
"Why did the magical items at the middle sequence level appear one after another?" Besimo also felt a headache, the Marquis would definitely summon them, and when the time came, it was estimated that there would be a lot of trouble in the follow-up.
"I'm more curious about the side effects of the blood cup than this, what are they?"
Russell recalled all the miracles that appeared in the blood cup, and muttered: "This level of magical items, the corresponding negative effects are also very great, and I don't know how the young master uses to offset them......
