"Father, why don't we sell this store out, if we continue like this, it will be too late to regret it in the future." The young woman persuaded bitterly.

The woman's name was Yuffie, Yuffie Baroque.

At this time, she was persuading her father, Samir, who was also the owner of the small shop they were now in, and the heir of the Baroque family.

The patriarch of the Baroque family today is the old patriarch Odd Baroque, who is more than 800 years old, and the reason why he is still the patriarch at this age is not because he is reluctant to take this position, but because the younger generations are too uncompetitive.

The heirs have changed one after another, but none of them have broken through to the high-level wizard apprentices, so they can only keep changing the next one.

Samir is the newest heir, so he is also in charge of the Baroque family's most important estate, the Baroque Alchemy Workshop in Canterlot!

In fact, the Baroque family is not the only alchemy workshop, but the meaning of Canterlot is completely different from other places.

This is the true heart of the Eighth Blood Prison!

Despite the small scale of their small shop in Canterlot, it can't compete with any Baroque alchemy workshop anywhere else, and it only takes a few people to keep it running.

But its value is higher than that of the other two dozen or so Baroque alchemy workshops combined!

The reason is also very simple, the central city is expensive, and it is difficult to find a store.

As the core of the Eighth Blood Prison, Canterlot is naturally not comparable to other places, and the number of shops here has always been the same, so if you want to open a store here, you can only spend a lot of money to buy it.

It's just that most of the people who can set up shop here are not bad for money, and Canterlot is usually doing very well, so there is definitely something to be gained.

Therefore, often those newly rising wizard families who want to prove their status will spend a lot of money to buy shops in Canterlot as status symbols.

This also makes the prices of shops here surprisingly high, and the rent is also a very exaggerated figure.

A declining wizarding family like the Baroque family is not qualified to maintain the Baroque alchemy workshop in Canterlot anymore, and it is thanks to the fact that the Baroque family does have two brushes in alchemy, so that the shop can be maintained and not have business problems.

But lately, it seems that some people have set their sights on this Baroque alchemy workshop in Canterlot, and they have told the Baroque family through various channels, either honestly selling the shop at the market price, or just waiting and seeing.

Originally, the Baroque family didn't care too much about it, just thought that the other party was talking harshly.

But as they had encountered all kinds of troubles in the past few days, they suddenly remembered their previous warnings.

Now even the old patriarch Odd has planned to admit it, but Samir is the only one who is unwilling to admit defeat and wants to see if there is a turnaround.

However, just a few days ago, his only son suddenly disappeared, leaving him completely confused.

Although he didn't have any evidence to prove that the incident was related to the people behind the Baroque family, he knew that this was the case.

The reason why the other party did not take it by force is only because the central city has the rules of the central city, which prohibits plundering the central city's property by force.

This is not an empty word, but a rule set by the Eighth Prison Master himself, and anyone who dares to violate it can try it.

Not to mention those newly rising wizard families, even the old wizard families of the Eighth Blood Prison, or the hundreds of lords, who would dare to disobey the rules set by the Eighth Prison Lord?

There have been in the past, so they died miserably.

Now, naturally, no one dares to do such a thing anymore.

The reason why Samir thought he could hold on was because he knew that the person behind the scenes would not dare to attack the Baroque family easily, but now that the other party made his son disappear in this roundabout way, he really had no choice.

Yuffie is worried about his younger brother, so he keeps persuading his father.

Now the main figures of the Baroque family have actually agreed to sell the alchemy workshop in Canterlot, and Samir is the only opponent.

As long as he changes his mind, then everything is a matter of smooth sailing.

Jingle Bell Bell –

The sound of wind chimes from the entrance of the store attracted the attention of the father and daughter.

Only then did they notice that there were several more guests at the door, and one of them was very familiar.

"Uncle Samir, cousin Yuffie, long time no see." Chevara, who had just entered the door, immediately recognized the father and daughter and greeted them.

"Are you...... Chieva LS Mir recognized the other.

"It's me." Chevara smiled and nodded.

……

After a brief time of catching up, Samir learns that Chevara has now taken refuge in the wizard's apprentice named Rorschach, and that Chevarra learns of the family's recent troubles.

"No matter whether you want to sell the store or not, you can't negotiate under such a passive situation, otherwise you are doomed to be slaughtered." Rorschach also expressed his opinion at this time.

"I think what the Lord said makes sense, we must first rescue Cousin Dean." Chevara agrees.

However, Yu Fei was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, "Cousin Chevala, are you here to make trouble, obviously you can solve all the problems as long as you sell the store, and Dean can come back safely, why do you need to do more?" ”

"Yuffie, how did you talk to your cousin!" Samir scolded his daughter with some dissatisfaction.

"Isn't what I said right, little brother, his life and death are uncertain, isn't the most important thing to do now is to ensure his safety?" Yuffie argued.

"But...... Alas. ”

Samir sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

His only son is likely to fall into the hands of others, how can he not be in a hurry, but the problem is that his other identity is the heir of the Baroque family, and he must consider the family when making decisions.

For the sake of his son's safety, he disregarded the interests of the family, and he couldn't do this kind of thing.

But what his daughter said was not unreasonable, which put him in a dilemma......

"If you really want to save your little brother so much, why don't you just take us to him?" Rorschach suddenly asked coldly.

"What?" Yuffie looked flustered for a moment when he heard this, but quickly returned to normal and pretended that nothing had happened.

It's just that Chevara had already heard the meaning of Rorschach's words at the first time, and looked at Yuffie with a solemn expression!

Having been with Rorschach for so long, he knew very well how accurate Rorschach's eyesight was.

Even a black-bone wizard who is a dignified second-ring morning star can't escape Rorschach's eyes, let alone others?

Therefore, despite the severity of Rorschach's accusations against Yufe, even involving the destruction of personality, Chevara still did not suspect it.

"Is there any misunderstanding, Lord Rorschach?" Samir tried to soothe and said, "Yuffie is Dean's own sister, and the two have been closer than most siblings since childhood, so he can't be unfavorable to Dean." ”

"Don't say it, Lord Samir, I will say this with some certainty." Rorschach said lightly, "Yufie, you have to think clearly, the people behind the scenes may not necessarily keep their previous promises after using you, are you sure that you can always keep track of Dean's situation?" ”

Yufie's expression was a little uncertain, but her reaction had already made Samir's heart "chuckle"!

How could he not understand his daughter, Yuffie's reaction was already equivalent to acknowledging what Rorschach had said earlier.

The disappearance of his son Dean is really related to his daughter?

"Evil...... Samir had only bitterness left in his heart.

Rorschach continued: "I've heard from Chevara about the situation in Canterlot before, and I've heard that it is not allowed to plunder other people's property by force here, so think about it, do you know that the people behind the scenes will really risk being settled by the Eighth Prison Master and kidnap your son?" ”

"In my opinion, this is undoubtedly a bit more than worth the loss, and it must be more cost-effective to let you fall into each other's internal struggles."

"Even if you are really accidentally stabbed out, it is your Baroque family infighting, not their plundering with external force, so you tell me, who is the easiest to take your son away quietly?"

When Samir heard this, he looked at Yuffie and said, "Is that you?" ”

Yufie: "They said that this is the only way to make your father realize the reality, and if you continue to fight, there is only a dead end waiting for your father." ”

Syllable!

Samir slapped him and said bitterly, "Would you rather trust outsiders than your father?" If it really gets to the point where I can't do anything, I'm going to give up, do you need to do it? ”

"I'm ......" Yuffie covered her cheeks, already with tears on her face.

"Don't cry, go find someone first, and I'll talk about what happened when I get Dean back!" Chevara also shouted directly at this time.

"Okay, okay." Yuffie replied with a sob.

When Yuffie and the group arrived at the place where she knew her brother Dean should be, it was already empty, and there was no Dean.

Samir was furious at this time: "What about people?!" ”

Yufy's face turned pale: "I don't know, little brother, he should be here......"

She finally realized that she had been tricked.

The other party never trusted her from beginning to end, and just wanted to use her hand to trick her brother Dean out, but she still believed it.

"So what now?" Yuffie was in a hurry.

She didn't really want to hurt her brother by doing all this, but she believed that doing so would be better for her father and better for the family.

Reality taught her a lesson.

Rorschach didn't bother to pay attention to whether she was crying or not, because he was only doing Chevara a small favor.

But he saw Rorschach go straight to the street next to him, and seemed to grab a passer-by by the hair at random, and slipped him over.

This inexplicable move made Samir very stunned.

However, the next moment he was even more stunned, because he heard Rorschach actually asking: "Tell me where you are hiding, don't waste time." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about, why do you arrest people casually, I'm going to report you to the Judge!" The man was in a hurry.

"He knows where people are, so you can find a way to ask for yourself." Rorschach didn't bother to act with him, and directly threw the person to Samir.

At this time, Samir did not easily doubt Rorschach's words, even if he did not obey his words.

So when Rorschach said that there should be something wrong with this person and knew where his son was, Samir directly gave this person a set of lifelong learning.

Eventually, the man summoned Dean to his location, and Samir quickly sent someone to fetch his son.

……

"Thank you so much this time, Rorschach, if it weren't for you, I would have become a family sinner." Samir said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Rorschach shook his head.

"By the way, are you also here to participate in this 'blood hunt'?" Samir asked suddenly.

"The Blood Hunt is about to start again?" Chevara was stunned.

"yes, it's less than two months before it starts, didn't you notice that there were a lot of people in Canterlot when you came?" Samir Road.

"It seems to be true, I thought it was my delusion, it turned out to be because of blood hunting, then it's no wonder." Chevaramo said, rubbing his chin.

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Rorschach was looking at him.

Only then did he remember that his lord was not a member of the Blood Hell World Group, and it was normal that he had never heard of Blood Hunting, so he immediately explained to him:

"The so-called Blood Hunt is a periodic sacrificial ceremony held every hundred years in the Eighth Blood Prison...... During the Blood Hunt, the Prison Master will choose a small world attached to the Eighth Blood Prison as the Blood Hunt target, and allow all wizard apprentices who are willing to participate in the Blood Hunt to enter it to complete the sacrifice. ”

"How?" Rorschach's voice sank slightly.

"Naturally, it is to hunt down all the creatures in that small world and use their blood to sacrifice to the Boundless Blood Prison." Chevara calmly explained, "During the Blood Hunt, every time you hunt an additional creature, you will accumulate more blood, and the stronger the person will be able to provide the same amount of blood. ”

"In the end, the blood hunt ranking will be determined by the amount of blood qi, usually the top 1,000 can get rich rewards, and the top 10 can get the chance to enter the 'eighth blood pool', that's the real highlight!"

"Although the eighth blood pool is not comparable to the legendary boundless blood pool, even if it is an official wizard, he can get huge benefits in the eighth blood pool, and it is a golden opportunity for wizard apprentices!"

When Chevala said this, his face couldn't help but show a look of yearning: "If a high-level wizard apprentice can enter the eighth blood pool, he will basically try to break the boundary and attack the official wizard in the near future, and the success rate is more than a hundred times higher than normal......

"Is it to use a world as a hunting ground just to complete a routine sacrifice?" Rorschach couldn't help but fall silent after listening to Chevalra's explanation.

For someone like Chevara, who was already born in the Eighth Blood Prison, he would not understand Rorschach's feelings at this time.

The small world in Chevala's mouth is actually essentially a world like the Gray Domain, except that the Gray Domain is attached to the Gray Tower World Group.

While Chevara was describing the excitement of the Blood Hunt, Rorschach was thinking that one day all the members of the Aqua Blue Star would descend on the Grey Realm, and after that, the Grey Realm would usher in an event similar to the Blood Hunt.

When the time comes, what will he do?

Of course, this is only a hypothesis, and it may not actually appear, but don't forget that the Gray Domain and the Aqua Blue Star are just the experimental grounds of the 'Star Constellation'.

When the water blue star is fully replaced, no one can predict what the other party's next move will be.

Even if he took 10,000 steps back, Rorschach could not care about the life or death of everyone in the Water Blue Star or the Gray Domain, but he himself was still a member of the replacement.

Will he really be able to avoid this kind of trouble?

He wasn't sure about it at all.

Originally, when he heard the content of the blood hunt, he still had a feeling of unbearable feeling in his heart, but when he thought that the gray domain and the water blue star might also encounter this situation in the future, he realized that he was not qualified to sympathize with others here, and his ridiculous pity in the face of survival was simply worthless.

"Lord, are we going to participate?" Chevara looked at Rorschach.

"Why not."

Rorschach calmed down the turmoil in his heart and muttered, "This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, since you just happened to meet it, there is no reason to miss it, even if you can't win the top ten in the end, it's good to be in the top thousand." ”

"Understood!" Chevara said with great interest.

"I'll leave the process to you, and I'm going to go on a retreat before it begins, and I'll be more sure if I can go any further." Rorschach said to Chevara.

"No problem, Lord, you can rest assured that you can just leave these trivial matters to me." Chevara patted his chest and reassured.

Rorschach nodded, no more.

Chevara is still very reliable in this regard, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

He himself started a new retreat, which lasted less than two months, but he hadn't had so much free time for a long time.

In this retreat, on the one hand, he sorted out his path as a Purgatory Knight, and on the other hand, he naturally focused on purgatory meditation.

Although he is in the Blood Hell World Group, he will truly devote his consciousness to the purgatory dimension when he meditates, and the effect of meditation is not exaggerated.

It had been a while since his Purgatory Meditation technique had been promoted to Lv.4, and this retreat gave him further time.

After a month of retreat, the Infernal Meditation technique had moved from Lv.4 to Lv.5, and continued to move towards Lv.6.

It was almost a few days after he broke through that he sensed that the replacement was coming, and this time he chose the replacement without hesitation, because the most important thing for him now is time.

When he returned to Aqua Blue, he didn't see anyone and devoted all his time to meditation.

This is actually a bit strange to others, because as we all know, it is impossible to melt blood or even condense spiritual seeds in the water blue star.

Including meditation, it is almost impossible to improve because it is impossible to perceive the six eternal realm artifacts of the wizarding world.

But Rorschach is different.

No matter where he is, he can throw his consciousness into the purgatory dimension, and even he condenses the spiritual seeds on the water blue star.

If he was able to calm down and not waste any time every time he replaced the Water Blue Star, it would be equivalent to an extra amount of meditation and cultivation time out of thin air.

Two months later, Rorschach returned to the Eighth Blood Prison.

At this time, he had already advanced the Purgatory Meditation Technique to the second half of Lv.5, and it might not be long before he could officially enter Lv.6.

At that time, he was really just one step away from becoming a high-level wizard apprentice, and this was actually just a book change in his realm.

As a Knight of Purgatory, he also practices the Purgatory Meditation Method, and the core of the power of both is actually the power of Purgatory!

The only difference is that on the one hand, the physical body is polished with the power of purgatory, while the other side is combined with the spiritual power to create a new evolution.

But this high degree of homology allows him to burst out in any aspect of the power far beyond the book realm!

This is also one of the confidence that he dares to participate in the blood hunt!

Although he didn't say anything to Chewara, he just went for the top ten!

The more he saw the cruelty of the wizarding world, the more he realized that he was not qualified to stop, let alone sympathize with anyone.

This blood hunt, he is bound to fight.

Even if the eighth blood pool may not be useful to him, he has to see it, what if it is useful?

If you miss this village, you won't have this store.

……

A few days later.

"The number of people participating in the blood hunt this time should be the largest in the past ten sessions, and it is said that the rewards will be more generous than the previous ones, even if they don't enter the top 1,000 in the end, they can also get a group blood prison baptism......" Chevara patiently told Rorschach about the information of this blood hunt.

In the past month or so, he has done a lot of preparation.

Including but not limited to collecting all the information about the blood hunt, especially the intelligence of this year, has become the top priority of collection.

Not to mention, he did collect a lot of valuable information.

In addition, he also borrowed the Baroque alchemy workshop in Canterlot to refine dozens of alchemy items to save his life.

Most of them are high-level alchemy witch tools!

As for the cost, Samir's uncle reimbursed him directly, and he didn't ask for a penny.

This is also a reciprocated favor, thanks to Rorschach for helping him find his only son, Dean.

After a series of preparations, the Blood Hunt is finally about to begin!

On this day, the whole Canterlot came alive!

As a once-in-a-century ritual, even those who don't participate in the Blood Hunt are looking forward to it, because the Blood Hunt process can be seen in part, and even the top 1,000 blood qi changes can be seen!

A feast like this is indispensable for the opening of the bank.

In short, it's like a grand entertainment, of course, for the sacrifice of the Boundless Blood, but it is also a carnival!

Everyone can participate and take what they need.

Rorschach and Chevarra were just a few of the inconspicuous ones, because there were enough people involved.

There are more than a thousand high-level wizard apprentices alone!

The number of middle-level wizard apprentices is even more than five-fold, but the number of beginner-level wizard apprentices is even less than that of middle-level wizard apprentices.

Of course, this is not because the Eighth Blood Prison lacks beginner-level wizard apprentices, but because most beginner-level wizard apprentices are still self-aware and know that they can't compete with those high-level and middle-level wizard apprentices.

If you go, you will be cannon fodder, so it's better not to go.

Moreover, in the process of blood hunting, their real enemies are not necessarily each other, but the natives of the chosen small world.

The small worlds that can usually be selected as the targets of blood hunting will not be unchallenging, and there is definitely no lack of high-end combat power that can fight against high-level wizard apprentices, otherwise there will be no suspense in this process.

This is not in line with the original intent of the blood hunt.

The second more

A total of 12,000, at the end of the month, ask for monthly ticket support~~
