"Then Lord Earl, please return to the castle with my help, I think... We still have a lot to do. Chu He said to the mad knight.

Mad Knight, the fourth brother of the previous Count of Amethyst, his name is Hibo.

Not only that, but he was an illegitimate child.

According to the news that Chu He heard at these times.

When Hippo was a young man, the old earl did not recognize him, but only raised him in the market to provide him with food and clothing.

Until one day, he was brought back to the castle and given him the same inheritance as the other heirs. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Hippo has no forces to invest in him and seek the interests of Amethyst's territory.

Here's a digression in passing.

In the Rhodes Empire... In other words, in most of the countries that have inherited the bloodline of the Aoneng Empire, the inheritance system of the nobility is in the same line.

Those nobles who do not have a blood lineage, they usually choose the eldest son as the heir, unless the eldest son dies or there is a more serious and irreparable accident, they will be passed on to the second heir in accordance with the order.

The nobles with blood inheritance are different, and in such aristocratic families, the criteria usually chosen are more inclined to be verified by blood.

If there is only one bloodline awakened among the descendants of this family, then naturally this bloodline awakened person will hold the title.

And if there are more than one, then from the middle, select the best one with the highest bloodline strength.

Therefore, sometimes, the succession system of the bloodline nobles will seem more chaotic.

After all, the inheritance of nobles without bloodline is about 'stability', and they take the long-term and peaceful inheritance of the family as their responsibility. Naturally, they will try their best to prevent future generations from having some unimaginable conflicts in order to compete for the title. Even the more indifferent and ruthless parents will send away the descendants of those who have no inheritance rights when they reach adulthood.

Some became merchants, some became landlords in small places, and still others joined the Order and became followers of a god.

They likewise form the branches and leaves of a family.

And the family with blood inheritance naturally attaches more importance to the bloodline, whoever has the most powerful bloodline power in the family is the speaker, and the strong in disguise is respected.

Therefore, in the bloodline family, there are often bloody conflicts because of power struggles.

The bloodline of the Amethyst family has lost the key to unlock it, but there is no doubt that they are indeed a bloodline family.

Therefore, theoretically, every member has the right to fight for inheritance.

Chu He's plan for Hippo was to return to the castle first, and then pretend to take refuge with a brother or sister, taking advantage of the situation and using his strength.

With his help and planning, although the odds are small, it is not impossible to succeed in ascending to the earldom.

Of course, Chu He didn't plan to go all the way to the dark, what he couldn't say was that he would secretly find the statue that symbolized his identity, and dig out the deeper symbolism behind the statue.

As a bloodline with the limit at the fifth order, it is impossible for Hollongen to leave without a little inheritance, maybe he can follow this clue and really break into the circle of the mysterious person to get more information.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Hippo raised the heavy spear in his hand, pointed to a place at the top of the amethyst castle and said: "The pure flame must light the lighthouse, and the noble knight will definitely sit in his place." ”

Chu He shifted his gaze to the servant Darkola.

Decora said with a sad face, "When the old earl was here, he did often light that lighthouse. But actually... There is no need. It must be lit with the best holy oil, otherwise the light will not be enough to illuminate the whole castle, and it will look ugly. I remember that the old Earl used to spend so much gold to keep lighting the lighthouse that the whole Velvet City became depressed, and he almost couldn't even get the money to repair the castle. ”

Chu He flipped through his memories and found some information.

It seems that a long time ago, when the dwarf count had just ascended the throne, the lights on the lighthouse were also lit for a while.

And then, it went out again.

"It seems that after that lighthouse is lit, it may trigger some special effects against the bloodline of the Amethyst family. Maybe it's because most of the family members don't have talent, so they can't show it. Chu He looked at the mad knight and decided to find a way to help him light the lighthouse.

The power of the mystic is unpredictable... This is the profound insight that Chu He has come to after constantly studying the mysterious power in the past few days.

It is different from immortal cultivators who use aura to cultivate and seek gradually.

Among cultivators, it can be said that there is a clear distinction between what level of cultivators and what stage of power they can use.

For example, in the Qi training stage, you can only roughly use the five elements of yin and yang, and when you reach the Jindan stage, you can touch some magical means involving regular fragments, and when you reach the level of Yuan Shen, you will begin to master relatively strong magical powers and leverage the greater power between heaven and earth.

And in the Mystic, the sheer strength is one thing.

But the attribute of strength is another one.

For example, the liars of Chu River belong to the first-order mysteries, the bottom of the mysteries. But what is involved is the power to use magic energy to modify the external environment.

Here, the current Chu He can't say a word about the law of the world, that's because he doesn't have enough demonic energy to master and control, and the strength is not strong enough, which doesn't mean that the kind of power he controls doesn't have this ability.

As for the power of Hollongen, it essentially transforms itself into a huge, terrifying, and powerful dragon. With the body of a human, master the power of the dragon.

As a dragon blood guard, Chu He can already change a little of the dragon's strength and attributes, but because of the upper limit, he can only mobilize a little power.

"So... What is the power of the Crystal Knight? According to the current characteristics of the Mad Knight, it is beyond the vanity and goes straight to the heart. Or do you predict the future and anticipate the enemy first?" Chu He had all kinds of speculations in his heart that needed to be confirmed.

If it is the former, it can only be said that the bloodline of the amethyst family is quite powerful, and in some specific places and timings, it has an effect that cannot be banned.

But if it's the latter... Then it's terrifying.

The three of Chu He returned to the Amethyst Castle without much hindrance.

Perhaps because the castle was now in a mess, the countess had long been unable to take care of the façade, and had transferred a large number of people to her surroundings, both to protect herself and to facilitate the deployment.

When we got deeper into the castle and approached the hall, we could already hear the screeching of quarrels.

Occasionally, there was the sound of weapons unsheathed, but they quickly subsided, it should have already passed the initial period of emptiness and grievance, but it was still a little distance away from finally tearing his face and having a bloody weapon fight.

In this case, the fox of Chu River pretended to be a tiger, relying on the majesty of the chief of the guard, and directly opened the treasury of the castle to carry some holy oil to light the lighthouse.

Coming from the Vulcan Church, the holy oil is a specially refined lamp oil, which is not only smokeless, but also emits a strong and stable light, and has always been a favorite lamp oil used by nobles.

Amethyst Castle is also usually lit with holy oil only during grand banquets to maintain decency.

I am usually reluctant to use it.
