Chapter 51: The Blood Sacrifice 6
As the ultimate victors of the twenty-four teams and about to face the ultimate battle, the three of Chris received Denise's first big gift - a recovery potion diluted with a drop of Luna Tears!
When Chris heard the "Tears of the Luna", many memories flooded back his mind.
At a young age, he learned that his mother, Avril, had taken the Tears of the Luna.
And everyone agreed that Avril was able to hold on for seven years after giving birth to him before dying, because of the continuous healing effect of the Tears of the Luna. Especially now that he has taken the diluted potion, all the wounds he received today have all scabbed over in just an hour, and the bruises or dull pain accumulated in the previous days have disappeared.
Denise seemed to be in a good mood, and specially told the three juniors who had never seen the world that the effect of the Tears of the Moon was not limited to this. Those who have taken the Tears of the Moon will benefit for the rest of their lives, and will recover faster from trauma in their future lives.
With such a magical effect, even Qiao, who was watching from the sidelines, was red-eyed.
Her mother hadn't given her a drop.
For this, the three of Chris were grateful, and even looked at Vidocq, a woman known for her brutality, with gratitude, at least Vincent's face was not darkened.
"Don't be too happy, ants!"
Ignoring the faces of the few people present, she continued to express her opinion, "If you can't tear Georgia's men to shreds tomorrow night, then the Tears of the Moon God won't save your lives. If you die, then I will take your corpses and feed them to the beast, so that the effects of the Tears of the Moon will remain in the beast's body. Although the effect will be much worse, it can't be wasted! β
Well, Denise of savage bloodline has the ability to spoil all atmosphere.
The three Chris suddenly felt that Vidocq in front of them was very hateful.
But the weak do not have the right to speak out.
Even if there is a sound, the superior can hear it without hearing it.
So, when Denise threw down the phrase "prepare well" and walked away, the three of Chris and Joe and Lapsey were still looking at each other, speechless for a while.
It was Rapp who spoke first.
He is the owner of the house and a dog-legged, and he has the consciousness of picking up the missing pieces for the master.
"Three powerful warriors, Denise's most powerful servant, Old Lapsey, has already heard for you about tomorrow's opponent!"
He said in a playful tone, and pulled out a long piece of parchment from his bosom.
For the sake of the three Chris winning dozens of rubies for him, he spent a lot of money to collect very detailed information.
Even the three Vicks had a long list of what they liked to eat.
It was Vincent who took the list.
His personality is as rigid as the deep nasolabial folds on his face, and he is meticulous about everything.
AndrΓ©, on the other hand, was much more tactful, first pouring a glass of wine for Lapsey and raising his glass to thank and praise with aristocratic etiquette. also specifically said that if he is given the management of the tavern and gladiatorial arena by Denise in the future, there will be a lot of space for cooperation between the two sides and a time to warm up.
This kind of commitment to benefits really made Lapsey a lot happier.
He didn't even notice that the amber liquid in the glass had wet most of his beard.
As for Chris, he had already pulled Joe to stand behind Vincent, asking for advice on the weaknesses of the three opponents as he watched.
As Denise's daughter, she knows better than anyone about her mother's enemies.
Sure enough, Joe only glanced at the names and said the weaknesses and fighting habits of each person.
"Kupe, the pinnacle of warriors, his usual weapon is a mace, his strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, he likes to charge ahead, and he is invincible in previous battles. But the waist was slashed by the snake man, and if there is a chance to stab him, then this opponent can be erased. β
Speaking of this, everyone's eyes fell on Vincent.
Because he is the best candidate, it is not very difficult to stab a dagger with his strange style.
And the latter was very conscious, and this person was handed over to him.
"Harry, the peak of the warrior, the body is thin and thin, the usual weapon is a double knife, he is very fast, and after he once cut off the head of the poisonous snake and left, the poisonous snake's spray has not yet fallen to the ground."
"Leave this man to me, I'll try to hold him back, but don't expect me to kill him alone."
Speaking Andrei, his airtight swordsmanship is the best defense.
"Willy, the peak of a warrior who has touched the threshold of the strong! I fought him three years ago, and it wasn't the life-and-death fight, and I couldn't win against him then, and I guess it's the same now. He is used to using his fists, has no weaknesses, and does not have any fighting habits to follow. Let's put it this way, his battle mode is the same as mine, it varies from person to person! β
As soon as Joe's words fell, there was silence at the table, except for the occasional spark of joy from the candles.
None of them were Joe's opponents, and if Joe had given it his all, no one would have made it past five minutes.
And Willy, almost like Joe...
In the middle of the night, Chris picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, and joked in a pretended relaxed voice, "Willy, I'll do it, just think he's a two-legged Rocky Daran two-headed wolf!" β
It's a pity that his joke is not funny at all.
All the people in the room were staring at him, and there was no smile on their faces.
"Chris, I admit you did a great job today!"
Andrew's voice was serious, "But Willy is not a two-headed wolf with low intelligence!" Are you sure you can handle it? β
"Or else? Who can handle it? β
Chris's rhetorical question caused a long silence in the room.
Even Lapsey is thinking about whether it is time to secretly bet on others tomorrow without Denise...
And Joe, who caused all this, didn't care about his own high-minded attitude, holding a special huge wine glass in one hand, taking a small sip, and from time to time closing his eyes and shaking his head to be satisfied.
Chris, who saw this scene, was suddenly blessed.
When he was in Edin City, he used to follow James and admired the various gestures of the nobles.
Now Joe's posture,
"Joe, Vic's future second female Vidocq, the ruler of the race after Denise!"
When he said these flattering words, Chris felt numb in his heart, "It's been three years since you fought with Willy, and you are as smart and powerful as you, there must be countless ways to make the other party die without a burial, right?" β
"Hee-hee, red-haired boy, no wonder your mother keeps calling you a scheming human!"
Joe showed an expression that counted you as acquaintance, "I have a way, but why should I tell you?" Hee-hee, don't talk about my mother, she didn't give me the Tears of the Luna! β
"Uh... Your mother promised me some extra rubies tomorrow if I win, and I only kept one for the coil on the road, how about it? β
As soon as Chris's words fell, Andre immediately spoke.
"My reward is the right to manage a tavern and a gladiatorial arena, and I will keep the tavern as the capital of peace, but the gladiatorial arena can always have the power of the master without incurring the wrath of your mother."
Vincent was silent for a while, then spoke, "Outside of Sin City, my family can help you get rid of one person. β
"Hee-hee, this is your own volition! I didn't force you! β
Joe looked very happy, she was already a strong man, it was time to collect money and manpower to build up her own power, "For the sake of your knowledge, I'll be kind!" Who made you my mother's choosing? Alas... Really, as a Vic person, he wants to betray his people, I hope the ancestors will not be surprised... Hee-hee. β
You stinky shameless!
A slut who wants to set up a torii when he becomes a bitch!
The three of Chris couldn't help but greet in their hearts.
But none of the faces showed, "Yes, we volunteered!" β
"Three years ago, after I had a fight with Willy, I knew this guy was going to be my stumbling block. So, I asked the old witch in the clan to prepare some potions. If the potion seeps into his bloodstream even a little bit, then he will quickly become weak, and then you can easily cut off his head, hehe! β
Smearing poison on weapons?
The three of Chris looked at each other, they hadn't thought of a way to be like this.
Jo admired their expressions with great interest, and then said disdainfully, "What's the matter, are you pretending to be knights of honor?" I really don't understand you hypocritical humans, if you are not as skilled as humans, you will do everything! This is a battle of life and death, and it's not a game of family! β
"Will it be pursued by the other Vidocq?"
Andre, who was planning to settle down in Sin City, asked with some uneasiness.
"It's not like a dead man can't speak! And, do you think my mother can be questioned at will? β
"Where's the potion?"
Vincent's question proves that he has been tempted.
Chris didn't ask.
Instead, in silence, he picked up the information gathered by Lapsey and landed his gaze on a line of small print: "Unlike the savage slaughter of other Vic people, Willy, who yearns for the aristocratic lord system of the human world, does not trample on the beliefs or customs of the prey race in his daily hunting, and is known as the most chivalrous Vic. β
With that alone, he knew how to get Willy to kill himself.
But he is no longer naΓ―ve, he also has the same worries as Andre in his heart, and he thinks deeper.
He knew that Denise didn't have what it took to fight all Vidocq.
So, is Joe, who has savage blood, really of the same heart as her mother Denise? For the sake of a little profit, help them plot for their own people? It should be that she also took the opportunity to mix her selfishness, right?
And this selfishness, in addition to allowing them to survive the ultimate battle, will it also push them deeper into the abyss?
