"Huh?"

"Adapting to change?"

"No change, is it the best change?"

Hodge had an understanding and vaguely guessed his father's thoughts.

"Father, what do you mean is that it doesn't matter whether Lady Nia and this third branch leader have anything to do with it, with actions that are in line with you, and continue to paralyze the other party and let things go on the original trajectory."

"As long as we can take down the enemy who came to attack, we will have a chance to interrogate the truth."

"On the other hand, if we meet Mrs. Nia uncharacteristically, it is easy to startle the snakes, causing the fish that would have had the opportunity to get into the nets to escape."

Marquis Bach nodded lightly and said: "Once I make a choice that is not in line with my character, it will inevitably cause some people to be vigilant, they know me very well, I know them very well, there are not a few imperial nobles who want to deal with me, and my sudden appearance has moved one of the few cakes in the empire." ”

"For my fiefdom and my title, many people have coveted it for a long time."

Hodge then nodded suddenly, and said: "Father, it's me who didn't think about it, we shouldn't really see Mrs. Nia's family, when we meet, it's just to startle the snake, we must let the opponent take the initiative, so that we can grab his tail and pull him out in one go." ”

"It's a hunter-prey game, who's the hunter and who's the prey, and everything is possible until the final outcome comes." Marquis Bach stood up, looked at the third point on the blackboard, and said, "The third step, the investigation of the real culprit, will be left to me." ”

"The forces of the empire are more complicated, and all forces are involved, even within the aristocracy of the empire, it is not an iron bucket, the influence of the three major churches, the influence of the royal family, the influence of the big nobles, and the influence of the big rich, so that the entire empire, like boiling water in an iron pot, may splash out at any time, causing a huge disaster"

Hodge nodded, and had no opinion on his father, Marquis Bach.

"However, this time, I am only responsible for communicating with the extraordinary people of the church and the military, the specific plan, how to act, how to lead out the enemy in your mouth, these things are all under your sole responsibility, and you will be the commander-in-chief." Marquis Bach patted Hodge on the shoulder and whispered.

"Huh?" Hodge looked at his father in surprise, he didn't expect his father to give him such an important thing to do?

You know, he's just a newly promoted Sequence 9, huh?

"You are my only heir, and you are also an extraordinary person who is about to step into the circle of extraordinary people in the empire, you will soon become an adult, and you are no longer a child, this matter, I believe you can handle it very well, if necessary, I will take action, you don't have any scruples, let it go!"

Marquis Bach looked at Hodge seriously, with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "Your own strength is very important, but not everything, in many cases, the brain is more important than the strength, and you can kill O'Neill, also by virtue of wisdom." Under the Sage, the power of numbers, the power of layout, and the power of wisdom can also dominate the trend of a war. ”

"Hodge, use your own power to avenge the lazy High Priest of the Eternal Demon Cult for everything that happened in your dreams!"

Listening to his father's encouraging words, Hodge only felt that he was full of strength, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, father, I will, I will definitely make them pay." ”

……

At night, Hodge lay on his bed, looked at the luxurious openwork pattern ceiling above his head, and muttered: "After trying, I became a sequence 9 pharmacist, and after my mental power was improved, the number of times I could use the blood cup per day also increased from the first two faints to four faints, that is, in one day, I can only use the ability of the blood cup three times at most." ”

"Hmm...... Not all of the wild wolves in the fiefdom have werewolf blood, and after four attempts this afternoon, they only got two cups of thin werewolf blood. ”

Hodge thought to himself as he looked at the words that came to mind.

【Thin Werewolf Blood*2】

【High Purity Wolf Blood*2】

This afternoon, after lunch, Hodge asked his father to send someone to catch a few wild wolves and try them.

In the end, four cups of purified blood were obtained, two cups had werewolf blood, and the other two cups were negligible due to the thinning bloodline.

After meditating, Hodge regained most of his mental strength, but he still felt tired, tired and sleepy, as if he had just had an all-nighter.

At this time, Hodge realized that the energy extracted from the blood cup may not only be spiritual power, but also involve some kind of origin in the occult sense.

Hodge doesn't know which one it is, but it's certain that, for now, there is no life involved.

Because Hodge didn't feel physically weak, more mentally.

For now, Hodge isn't going to dig deeper.

Now he just wants to get a good night's sleep......

"What's the matter...... I'll talk about it tomorrow......"

Hodge silently closed his eyes, his voice getting lower.

Soon, he fell asleep.

The hazy moonlight, shining through the tulle curtain on the second layer, shone on Hodge's bed, crimson as blood.

Another night of blood moon.

"Poof!"

A strange heartbeat sounded.

Hodge felt a palpitation, he instinctively wanted to open his eyes, but found that he couldn't control his body, and even the easy action of opening his eyes was difficult to do?

Hodge instinctively felt that he was in a strange state, a feeling of lucid dreams and ghost pressing the bed in his previous life, that is, his consciousness was obviously awake, but he could not move, it was difficult to get up, as if he was restricted by something intangible.

"What the hell is going on?"

Hodge struggled to get out of his current state, but there was a feeling of powerlessness.

The next moment, a strange black mist gradually diffused out, enveloping his whole person and escaping into an extremely dark space.

"Here we go again......"

Hodge looked at the strange overlapping, dark and dark environment around him, and looked at the ancient mottled doors floating in the air not far away, and let out a long sigh.

"Hey......"

Hodge looked at the peculiar patterns on the mottled gates, the white bone wine cups pouring red blood, the weirdly rotten giant axes, the shriveled and emaciated mummy palms, and the guqin made of humanoid ribs......

There are still thirteen mottled gates, but only five of them are clear, and the rest are still hazy and blurry.

"What is this kind of space magic?"

"Or am I special?"

Hodge muttered a few words, tried to retrieve the blood cup and the silver key, and saw if it could succeed in this space?

Soon, Hodge's mind moved, and the silver key and blood cup appeared in his left and right hands, respectively.

"Sure enough, everything special comes from this space, and things related to this space can appear here."

Hodge tried a few other things, such as pocket watches, daggers, swords, etc., all of which failed.

Hodge's mind moved, causing the silver key and blood cup to disappear from his hands.

"The last time I came here, I opened the door of the corresponding blood cup, and finally got this magical item and obtained the magical ability to purify blood, but I vaguely felt that the ability of the blood cup was not so simple."

"With these purifications, the color on the blood cup has also begun to change."

"It may accumulate a certain number of times, and the blood cup will undergo a metamorphosis and change into new abilities."

"I still have a feeling that the blood cup is currently very astringent, purified again and again, and only absorbs some power to restore itself, which is to protect me from dying on the spot because of the use of the blood cup."

"I think I can try this, next time, let someone else use the blood cup, and see what the side effects will be?"

This wonderful feeling was the last time O'Neill raised the blood cup and drank the blood wine, the blood cup took the initiative to give Hodge feedback.

At the time, the situation was urgent, and Hodge didn't pay much attention to it.

But then I recalled that the emotion given by the blood cup at the beginning was......

I'm so hungry, can I eat?
