Section 56 Blood Pact
The night is getting darker, and the palace of the city lord on the mountainside of Baicheng is brightly lit at this time.
Several doctors walked out of the old city lord's room in groups, all of them with wry smiles, and they shook their heads.
Standing outside the door, Dora frowned tightly, and after bidding farewell to several doctors, she pushed open the door and entered the city lord's room.
The room was filled with the smell of herbs, and Lawrence, who was half-lying on the velvet bed, turned pale, and when he saw Dora walk in, he struggled twice to sit up, but in the end he couldn't do anything.
"Lawrence, what do you think?" asked Dora softly.
It's just that as soon as she spoke, she felt that she was asking superfluous - in the church, she had a fierce battle with Lan in order to save the old city lord, and in the process of the battle, the entire church was blown down, although she rescued the old city lord, but Lawrence himself was also very seriously injured in the battle.
This kind of serious injury is no longer something that can be cured by ordinary healing stones, so Dora called in the doctors to see if there was any way. But the truth is brutal.
"Miss Dora...... I, I've lived long enough. Lawrence coughed, revealing a look of humility: "I am very content to be able to complete the mission that my master gave me in my lifetime. ”
"It's a pity that I'm afraid I won't be able to see the day when the Quinn family is revived in your hands. ”
"There are a few things I know about Sivaret Castle, which I have told you word for word, and you must not forget it. ”
"Also. One more thing. ”
Lawrence's face suddenly became a little anxious.
Dora was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Lawrence meant. She leaned in slightly, and the latter whispered in her ear, "Some of your companions are reliable, and some are not as good as they seem...... cough cough cough ...... Please be careful......"
......
An hour later, the news of the death of the city lord immediately spread throughout the white city, and the people could not believe the sudden bad news, and some residents who had a deep relationship with the old city lord even cried in the streets.
Since the old city lord has no heirs, the eldest son and eldest daughter are not biological. And he had already defected to another country, and the young son was charged with trying to murder the old city lord. He has been imprisoned in prison.
Therefore, according to Lawrence's last words, the position of Lord of the White City will be passed to the most virtuous person in the city at Dora's decision - after all, in his mouth. The entire White City is also the property of the Quinn family. Lawrence understood. A wizard like Dora. It was absolutely impossible to become interested in worldly things, so the appointment was given to her.
When Lance returned to the City Lord's Palace with a dejected Arashi, he saw a busy scene.
The people in the palace began to prepare for the funeral of the old city lord.
Lance didn't expect it either. The old city lord who was still talking and laughing with him a few days ago died like this, looking at the sadness on Dora's face, he could only sigh in his heart: mortal life is indeed too fragile.
He walked up to Dora with Arashi and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything you need help with?"
Dora shook her head: "Not yet." ”
"What about her? Do you need to ask her something?" Lance glanced at Arashi.
The latter's face changed suddenly, and he said a little weakly: "You can't hand me over to her!"
"I've said a long time ago that the prisoners don't have the right to speak. Lance sneered and said, "What's more, now that you have truly betrayed the goddess of Yueqin, in order to survive, is there anything you can't say?"
Lan bit her lip tightly, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed.
When Dora saw the scene, somehow, a feeling of sympathy swelled in her heart.
She shook her head in disgust, "No. Her words, after all, are your captives, you can deal with them yourself. ”
Lance nodded, and the result was as he expected. It is indeed best to let him deal with Arashi.
He led Arashi to the depths of the palace, and as he went, he said to Dora:
"Put away your inexplicable compassion, this woman's gift is a [deceitful], even the goddess can be easily deceived by her...... So, be careful!"
Dora was stunned for a moment, her eyes narrowing slightly, and she looked at Arashi with a completely different gaze.
The latter's tears dried up immediately, and there was a look of indignation in her eyes, but she glared at Lance, but she didn't dare to say anything.
......
On the seventh floor of the Star Tower, Lance randomly found a room and imprisoned Arashi.
For a magician who has lost the protection of the gods, she is now just a very ordinary weak woman. Lance trapped her with just a simple little barrier.
As early as in the wilderness, he figured out the identity behind this woman.
In fact, she is not a regular voter of the goddess Yueqin, but an alternate voter. That said, due to her gift of the Fraudster, she was able to convince the goddess of her faith, and thus gave her many magical spells, such as the Refuge, that only the Chosen One had.
Being a deceitful is a rare talent, and this strength comes from Arashi's bloodline ability, which is very, very rare among humans. This talent makes her a natural liar, and even if she has no faith in her heart, she can hide it from most people, even gods.
It's just that all this, in front of Lance, has no effect at all.
When Arashi tried to lie in front of Lance, Lance's crushing mental power allowed Lance to easily identify it. When a person is lying, his eyes are often twinkling, which is representative of her mental state. If she were a qualified wizard, then she would definitely use her psychic power to disguise herself, but unfortunately she wasn't.
Without the protection of the gods, she is not much stronger than ordinary people. Under Lance's persecution, she finally spoke the truth.
And after that, everything fell into place. Lance couldn't possibly have a figure around him that he couldn't control, and Arashi's business aspirations were stronger than anyone Lance had ever seen, and it seemed that as long as she could live, she could endure anything.
In Lance's witness, she personally cursed the Goddess Yueqin, who immediately understood her vicious curse and burned the few divine fires in her. That's why her face is so gray, which means that she has completely separated herself from the goddess Yueqin, and the other party's revenge may come at any time.
On the other hand, Lance also signed a small contract with the other party. This kind of contract is not very common in the wizarding world, because it cannot be used between wizards and wizards, it is only suitable for wizards and mortals.
[Blood Pact IV.]: Slave of life, slave of death.
There are six types of blood pact series, and this is the fourth, and after Lance thinks about it, this is the most suitable for the current situation. After signing the blood contract, he can use the power of the contract to drain Lan's life force at any time, and her will can also be easily understood by Lance. This contract, which originated from blood spells, perfectly restrained Arashi's bloodline ability, which made Lance very satisfied.
A woman like Arashi has a certain talent, and Lance is really reluctant to kill it. Staying by your side with the Blood Pact may come in handy at some point.
......
"I don't know what happened to her. ”
After a night of fighting, Lance did not immediately go to bed, but sat quietly on the edge of the bed to rest.
Speaking of which, this kind of thing is a small trick based entirely on blood spells. Lance would have been impossible to master, but after getting Ellie's [Blood Law Crest], it all became different.
This [Blood Law Emblem] embodies all the blood spells that Ellijie has mastered. A small blood contract is naturally included. Lance learns effortlessly.
In fact, if Lance wants to change the direction of specialization, he only needs to supplement some of the book knowledge explained in the Blood Mage Advanced Manual, and he can instantly become a qualified Blood Mage. In terms of spells, Ellie's blood spells can be easily learned by him with a single thought.
Because of the blood law crest, it gathers the essence of a blood mage. It is very rare for the Blood Crest to be transferred during the Secret Blood Ritual, and in general, every Blood Mage will swear to defend his Blood Crest to the death. Once plundered, the consequences are unimaginable.
If Lance wanted to, he could completely control Ellie's every move, and almost control her life and death—something unacceptable to every arrogant wizard.
That's why Ellie left Ferendor in such a hurry. Although the search for the famous blood mage master was also a reason, it also meant to keep a distance from Lance. If the distance reaches a certain level, the control effect of the Blood Crest will be greatly weakened, or even disappear.
It's just that what makes Lance laugh and cry is that the place where Ellie went - the Nethersea is the wizard who invaded Ferendor this time. The wizards there are made up of the Underworld, somewhat different from the humans of Ferendor.
I wonder what will happen to Ellie Jie when she goes to the Netherworld?
Lance thought about it for a moment, then finally shook his head. Regarding these things, none of them can be controlled by him, and the only thing he can do well is to keep working hard to improve his strength.
Originally, after entering Sowaha, Lance's burden immediately became much lighter. Caterina would spend thirty years in the Cave of Time, which gave him breathing room. The pressure on survival seems to have become a lot less.
But who knew that it didn't take long for Lu Dao to provoke opponents such as the Yueqin Temple and the Witch Night Demon one after another. The former is not enough, and in the face of the magicians and even the electorate, Lance feels a little tricky at most. But the latter is a big headache for Lance!
The Dark Witch's abilities are terrifying, and now he is almost impossible to fight.
"The clone is so powerful, if it's the body, how powerful should it be?"
Lance lay quietly on the bed and smiled bitterly.
He didn't know how he provoked the other party, but since he had destroyed the other party's clone, he had to be ready to face her deity.
"Perhaps, it's time to use the resources produced by those fog dragons. (To be continued......)
