Chapter 18: The Disillusionment of Heroes (Part II)
This is really a pie in the sky. Head smiled, looked at the future human hero, and said, "Lord Brad, it seems that you are trying to recruit me, right?"
"You can call me by my first name, the last name Brad doesn't mean me. Michelle's brow furrowed slightly.
"Alright, Lord Michelle, let's talk about the deal first. Hade could already basically guess the mentality of this young nobleman of the second son type who was not valued in the family, "Let's not mention what you are talking about the Dark Moon Alliance, at least judging from your family situation, I'm afraid that Zuihou should be your eldest brother who inherits the title of duke, right?"
Michelle's slender black eyebrows on his handsome face twitched again, it seemed that he was very unhappy with Hede's "reminder", but he was still very calm, took a breath and said calmly: "Since you know the situation of our family so well, I can't help but confess, and since you are willing to risk your life to come here alone, you also want to make friends with powerful people and climb up but have no way." ”
Blankly, Hade pulled up a wooden stool and sat down, ready to listen to the ideals of the baron, who seemed to have great ambitions, not paying the slightest attention to the threat in the other man's words.
This attitude is already a very clear affirmative answer in Michelle's opinion, and now the black-haired teenager does not take the initiative to speak, but just wants to try his best to fight for more benefits for himself.
"Let me start with the meaning of the Darkmoon Alliance I founded. Michelle felt that his strength, whether it was an open card or a dark card, could definitely suppress Hide and the two subordinates he brought who were not too powerful or too bad, so he had a lot less scruples.
"Some people are lucky enough to be born with a radiant sun and a bright future, and some people are not so lucky, just because they are born a little later and have a little less talent, but they are not as dazzling and brilliant as that sun, and they are always compared to that sun by others, and they are destined to be only a foil moon, and they can only live in the shadow of others for the rest of their lives.
This guy is still in the rebellious period, Hade sighed in his heart. Understand that Michelle is referring to the portrayal of the relationship between brothers and sisters in many aristocratic families and even many commoner families, including his family.
"I knew I couldn't catch up with Yura no matter how hard I tried, so I looked like I'd given up. Michelle looked disgusted at his brother's name, "I know he looks down on me for being willing to degenerate, but I've been in contact with the same embarrassing nobles as me for a long time, and I've slowly merged into a secret society, the Darkmoon Alliance. ”
"The secret society I advocate has a common goal, a simple and direct goal. Michelle looked at Head with blazing eyes, "Find a way to kill that dazzling sun!
Very good and powerful, indeed a model for the children of the nobility. Head looked at the ambitious young son of the Brad family with a blank expression.
"But we need a lot of things to get there. Michelle waved his hand and said, "Human, financial, both are indispensable, human resources we secretly develop more members through the members of the association, but the development of financial resources has never progressed, and the wealth at our disposal as unvalued family scum is very limited." Until I came to Roland to check on the illegitimate daughter of House Sarkbeth.
"Actually, that girl has no potential, she doesn't have the courage to resist the strength of the family. However, I stumbled upon a commoner like you who could be appreciated by the always discerning Viscount Shurtias, and I was bored for a moment to see what was so special about you, but I didn't expect to find out that you have a close relationship with the master craftsmen of the fairy clan. ”
"It's a special bonus! To be honest, I had this idea early on, but I haven't been able to get along with those troublesome little things, and I don't know if you can gain the trust of the elves. ”
The way Michelle looked at Head made Head feel uncomfortable, he looked like he was looking at a large pile of gold coins, no, like he was looking at a mountain of gold.
"Isn't it a little strange where I was hiding in such a crowded workshop at the time?" Michelle smirked, "Our family's shadow escape secret skill is the strongest stealth skill. As he spoke, he abruptly vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he emerged from the shadows on the side of Gasmus.
"I have heard your conversation with the elves in the shadows, and I can certainly understand the great interests of the things you are dealing with, and I can tell from those conversations that the elves are very dependent on you, and I believe that it will not be long before you become a real underground agent of the elves. That's an innumerable source of wealth, and it's even more cost-effective than mining the veins of pure gold!"
"If it weren't for this, how could I deliberately come to trouble you for a worthless woman?" Michelle smiled, "I originally wanted to directly catch you and use the blood reading secret technique to understand your details, but I found out that you actually have a few good assassin bodyguards, so I was even more curious, so I played a scene by the way to temporarily avoid the limelight, after all, you can't kill in the city of the Grand Duke of West, and besides, you and your assassin bodyguards still have some strength, and we are really not sure that we can solve you in a short time." ”
"Although I don't know that you sent someone to spy on me, but it happened that some of my other subordinates arrived, and together they caught the two female assassins who were monitoring us, and after casually using the blood reading secret technique to investigate, I found out that you also have some shili, well, the Golden Chrysanthemum Alliance, although I haven't heard of it before, but now of course I know that this organization is still very useful. ”
It turns out that this is the case, and all the previous doubts have been solved. Hold said casually: "Then Your Excellency Michelle's symptoms of blood sickness are also faked, it's really a good acting." ”
"Well, that's not exactly pretending. In fact, I was indeed born with blood sickness, to be precise, I hate the blood of demon beasts, to be honest, everyone in our family actually has this problem, since I was a child, I have been eating crystal nuclei every day, practicing and controlling the blood in the corpses of those disgusting demon beasts from morning to night, and then slowly progressing, to the extent that I can melt the crystal nucleus of demon beasts out of thin air and absorb the source power through blood, this kind of disgusting thing is even a year, what about ten years? What about twenty years? Who can stand it?"
He didn't know what he revealed, and he felt a little pitiful when he thought about it carefully, but how easy is it to get a huge liliang without effort and sweat, at least the blood demon inheritance of the Brad family is also one of the top cultivation inheritances, countless ordinary civilians have made greater sacrifices than this noble son, and more effort has shed more sweat, but the harvest is not as good as one-tenth of his.
"Weishenme has to use the blood of these lowly brutes as a medium? My father and brother are old-fashioned and will only follow traditional ideas all their lives. Michelle sneered.
"When I was twelve years old, I tortured and killed an elf slave in order to vent my pressure, and I accidentally found that I didn't hate elven blood, and I found that elven blood contains abundant source power, and directly absorbing elven blood can increase the inheritance efficiency of my cultivation by more than two times!
"And using elven blood as a medium can greatly exert the power of my family's blood demon inheritance, and then I was ecstatic to find that after many shiyans, the effect of half-elf blood is even better!It can increase my cultivation efficiency by more than three times!" The expression on Michelle's face looked intoxicated, "Of course, it tastes better." ”
"After discovering this secret, I knew that my future was bright, so I didn't tell the old immortal and the idiot brother in the family at all, and even the stupid sister who protected me the most didn't reveal it. Saying that, Michelle looked at Hade, "Only the two henchmen who are dead set on me know this secret, and now there is one more of you." ”
Hede didn't speak, just sat on the wooden bench and watched him quietly, but the hero image in his heart was slowly crumbling.
