Chapter 472: Hope in the Darkness
Just as Barn went to Caesar's Palace to meet Isabella, two uninvited guests also appeared in the void above Vetalun.
In the void.
A mysterious man wearing a black robe was looking at Bane walking on the street with a burning look.
After a long time, the man in black robe sighed in a low voice: "But he miscalculated. I didn't expect that he could perfectly control the power of the ghost hand."
"Hehehehe, Alice, is this little guy the one you chose? His strength is too low. It's really a waste of the power of my best friend Kazan."
The man in black robe raised his head and showed his true appearance under the fluorescent light of the void. It was Alice, the famous prophet of the Caesar Empire.
Alice smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, although the first step of the God-making plan was not perfect, it was finally considered a part of the success. It depends on your Ozma."
"Hmph, Alice, why are you sure that this kid will accept our strength?"
"Because of love." Alice said indifferently.
"Ha?Love?"
Ozma in the chaos suddenly fell into deep thought, love, what a beautiful word. Unfortunately, he did not hold on to the power of his love at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Ozma felt a little irritated, so he simply changed the topic and said, "Are you sure about Carlosso's situation?"
Alice nodded: "I don't need to say that you know the information about the deaths of Hirok and Roths. And there seems to be no other person who can completely kill the apostles except Carlosso at the beginning of creation. So, Lord Ozma, what else do you have to wonder?"
"Ha, don't forget that Bakar died at the hands of your mistress. So, can I understand that your mistress also has the ability to kill the apostles?" Ozma said in a serious tone.
"Please allow me to correct it. The Dragon King Baccar died under the joint efforts of many powerful men in the Demon Realm. It was not that Lord Held had one hand to kill him. Lord Held did not have much combat power. She was just an ordinary woman." Alice said with a smile.
An ordinary woman?
Haha, if the Second Apostle Crying Eye Held can only be considered an ordinary woman, then there are probably not many women in this world who can be considered ordinary.
"Hmph, I hope so."
After leaving such a sentence, Ozma lost his trace instantly.
Alice was not angry when she saw this. She knew Ozma's current situation very well. It took Ozma a lot of effort to be able to split a trace of spiritual consciousness from the seal of the gods. Even so, every time Ozma's spiritual consciousness appeared, it only took an incense stick. The last time Ozma appeared, she brought Alice the most primitive seed of power to his close friend Ghost and God Kazan.
In other words, the ghost hand obtained by Bane is actually Kazan's most primitive power.
"Barn Barthut, the man chosen by fate, you will join our team."
Alice finished slowly, and her body gradually dissipated in the void.
...
At this time, Bane also came to the hall where Isabella was. Looking at the solemn hall in front of him, Bane felt a hint of disgust for no reason.
Although the cause of his father's death was unknown, Bane still guessed it. The reason for the delay in attack was nothing more than the whereabouts of the magic sword Apophis. If he confirmed that the magic sword Apophis was indeed in the hands of the Caesar royal family, then what awaited the Caesar royal family would be his storm-like revenge.
"Barn Bashut was ordered to meet with His Highness the Princess of the Reincarnation." Barn sorted out his instrument and spoke.
"Please come in."
A response came from the hall.
Bane came in and as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Isabella sitting high on the throne above the hall. Her expression of being uneven and mighty made Isabella's seemingly weak body add a bit of a distinctive charm.
Looking at the dusty Bane, Isabella felt ache in her heart. As the temporary ruler of this empire, Isabella naturally knew everything about Emily.
"Thank you for your hard work in the Grand Duke. This time I led my troops to the southern valley to wipe out the violent hunting regiment. The Grand Duke did a great job. After I report to my father, I will definitely reward the Grand Duke." Isabella said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Bane bowed his hand and responded in a short time, without any more of the following.
Isabella suddenly stopped. When did she become so strange between her and Bane? There seemed to be nothing else to talk about except business.
The two were silent for a while before Isabella spoke: "Emily, is her condition okay?"
"Thank you for your concern. My Emily is very good. I will definitely cure her." Barn said calmly, but when he mentioned Emily, Barn himself did not notice that his eyes were full of love.
This strong love naturally failed to escape Isabella's glasses, and a feeling of jealousy suddenly appeared in Isabella's heart.
When will Bane treat me like this? Isabella thought so.
However, she knew very well that the higher her status, the further the distance between her and Bane. Especially after that incident, there seemed to be no possibility between Bane and her.
"If the princess has nothing to do, Bane will take his leave first, and Emily is still waiting for me at home."
After saying that, Bane bowed slightly and turned around and walked out.
Looking at Bane's back, Isabella remained silent for a long time. As soon as Bane left, a handsome woman walked out of Isabella's throne.
"What's the matter, Selles?" Isabella asked in a deep voice.
"Barn has a strange force on his body, which seems to be somewhat similar to the power of the demon."
Demon?
Isabella suddenly became a little interested. After becoming the princess of the devil, Isabella learned some of the things she had learned about from her father Lyon III after she became the princess of the regent.
In the history of the Arad Continent, Ghost and God Kazan made the entire continent uneasy with the power of Ghost Hands. After the demise of the Perus Empire, the power of Ghost Hands also disappeared without a trace.
However, about ten years ago, a scholar in the Caesar Empire proposed the idea of creating a ghost hand. Although this idea was rejected by the academic community at that time, it received the attention of Lyon III. Lyon III paid a lot of money to secretly ask that scholar to conduct research, and the results of the research were called the power of the demon.
However, a huge experimental accident occurred when the Demonic Power was transplanted later. Except for Sellers, all the people involved in the transplant experiment died.
Due to the high possibility of experiment failure and the proportion of investment and harvest, Lyon III had to stop continuing to develop the power of the demon.
Now that Sellers said that Bane had a trace of demonic aura, Isabella was immediately interested in Bane's trip to the southern valley this time.
"Do you need to investigate?" Cyrus asked softly.
"No, it's not good if he finds it." Isabella shook her head.
"Your Highness, the probability of being discovered by Bane with his subordinates is basically zero, so..." Cyrus wanted to fight for that.
"Forget it, Cyrus, don't mention this matter again. Believe me, you are no match for Bane now." Isabella finished speaking slowly, got up and walked towards the inner palace.
Upon hearing this, Cyrus was stunned for a moment while thinking about it, then flashed and disappeared again.
...
On Bane's side, as soon as he walked out of the palace, he saw a servant of the Bashut family walking anxiously at the gate.
Seeing this, Bane suddenly felt a sense of badness in his heart.
When the servant saw Bane come out, his anxious expression seemed to be relieved. He walked up quickly and said, "Grand Duke, something happened. The old butler asked me to inform you, please go back quickly."
When Bane heard this, he immediately turned over and ran towards his mansion.
In just a few minutes, Bane rushed back to the Grand Duke's Mansion from the gate of the palace.
He took off the horse and threw the reins in his hand to the side. A servant came forward to catch them.
"Old butler, is there something wrong with Emily?" Barn shouted as he ran in.
The old butler walked out of the inner room after hearing the sound, with an expression on his face extremely anxious. He nodded and replied, "Master, Miss Emily's condition seems to have worsened."
When Bane heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate. He walked in quickly and found that Emily, who was lying in the frozen coffin, had her hair turned pale again, and her vitality was declining.
"How could this happen? Isn't it said that the Ice Coffin can temporarily seal the effect of this curse?" Bane said to himself in confusion.
"Haha, Barn Barthout, it seems you need my help." Just as Barn was at a loss, a familiar female voice came from his mind.
"It's you again. I don't have time to pay attention to you now. You'd better not mess with me." Barn said coldly.
Bane's sudden words made the old housekeeper standing aside stunned. He didn't understand who Bane was talking to just now?
"Ha, Barn Barthut, don't refuse so quickly, I think you will be satisfied with the terms I put forward."
The woman's voice sounded again. Seeing that Bane seemed not to object immediately, the woman spoke again: "Put the ring I gave you on your hand, the power inside will help you."
After saying that, the woman's voice gradually faded away.
Barn struggled for a while, and finally took out the ancient ring from his arms and put it on his hand. A force full of ancient aura suddenly surged out of the ring. Barn did not hesitate to pull the force around Emily as the woman said.
When it was completely wrapped, a miracle happened. Not only did Emily's signs of aging stop, but there was a tendency to reverse.
After a few breaths, Emily regained her youth and her breathing became stable. It seemed that she would wake up soon.
