Chapter 1645 The price
"Master, this is the intelligence from the front sent by Viscount Liber." The castle manager tidied up his somewhat messy clothes at the door of the bedroom, knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from the door, opened the door and walked in quickly.
Next to Barbarissa, he lowered his body, took out a sealed letter, and whispered.
Barbarissa quickly adjusted her emotions, took the letter, read it, thought for a moment, and said, "Reply the message and tell Viscount Ribel that everything will proceed as planned."
"Yes, Master." After hearing the instructions, the castle manager bowed and left.
After the castle manager left, Barbarissa turned to the servants who were taking care of his wife and children and ordered: "You should also go down and rest! I will take care of you here."
After hearing Barbarissa's instructions, the servants were stunned for a moment, but no one raised any objections. They exited the room one by one and closed the bedroom door.
When Barbarissa was the only one left in the room, he stood up, walked to the head of the bed, opened a secret locker in the wall plywood at the head of the bed, took out a box made of obsidian, and carefully placed it
placed on the table.
Barbarissa did not open the box immediately, with a hesitant look on his face. However, after he turned his head and saw his wife and children sleeping on the bed, he seemed to make up his mind and reached out to open the obsidian box.
I saw a simple wooden statue stored in this box. This statue was a human being wearing a robe. It looked very ordinary, as if a poor farmer picked up a piece of wood and carved one for his child.
It looks like a small toy, and because the wooden statue is old and poorly preserved, the overall condition of the statue is very poor, with many cracks, and the face of the statue is even blurry.
However, just such an ordinary-looking statue emitted a strong breath of energy when Barbarissa opened the obsidian box. This breath of energy directly caused the temperature in the room to drop a lot. Even Barbarissa
Sa's breath also turned into white mist.
Barbarissa was not panicked by the appearance of this energy aura. He tightened his clothes and allowed himself to adapt to the lowering temperature around him. Then he reached out to take out the statue in the box, but he was about to touch it.
When he reached the statue, he stopped again, with a hesitant look on his face again, as if he already knew something bad would happen after touching the statue.
However, as his wife fell asleep on the bed and let out an unconscious moan due to the pain, his original hesitant mood was suppressed again. His emotions for his wife and children made him put aside his worries and reached out to grab her again.
That statue.
"Praying to the abyss is not a good thing. I'm afraid you won't be able to repay the interest those guys in the abyss want in your lifetime." Just when Barbarissa was about to catch the statue, Leo's voice suddenly appeared in the room, followed by
I saw him walking out of the shadow of the closet and coming to Barbarissa's side.
"Mr. Leo, you finally showed up." When Barbarissa saw Leo, she immediately expressed great joy, and the sadness in her eyebrows also dissipated a lot. She followed him without caring about etiquette and directly dragged Leo to come.
When he got to the bedside, he said excitedly: "Mr. Leo, please help me check on the illness of my wife and children. I will agree to whatever you want, as long as my wife and children can get well."
"Calm down, Barbarissa, you are the Protector of the Middle Kingdom." Leo used a teasing tone to calm down Barbarissa's emotions, then stepped forward and carefully examined the three patients, and then took out the
Three bottles of healing potion were handed to Barbarissa and said: "Give them a drink and they will be healthy tomorrow."
Hearing Leo's words, Barbarissa's heart was filled with excitement beyond words, but he still tried to calm down, carefully took the three bottles of healing potions, and gave them to his wife and children one by one, without doubting Leo's words at all.
True or false.
As the treatment medicine began to take effect, Barbarissa saw that the red faces of his wife and children gradually returned to normal, and their painful expressions gradually eased, and they truly entered a normal sleep state.
Barbarissa took the towels off the foreheads of his wife and children, tested the temperature on their foreheads, and confirmed that the fever was indeed gone. A look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he breathed a natural sigh of relief, perhaps because of his emotions.
Due to the relaxation, the physical and mental exhaustion of the past few days also took the opportunity to come back, making him feel sore in his body and depressed, as if he had been fighting nonstop for more than ten days, and he might fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
However, Barbarissa knew very well that it was not the time to rest yet, so he took a few deep breaths, endured the discomfort, cheered up, and walked to Leo's side, preparing to say something.
"Drink this bottle of potion and you will feel better." Before Barbarissa could speak, Leo handed over another bottle of potion and said.
Barbarissa didn't hesitate at all. After taking the potion, he drank it in one gulp. He only felt a cool breath that he had never experienced before pouring directly from his mouth into his belly, and then spread to the whole body. This cool breath
The qi not only dissipated all the pain and fatigue in his body, but also made his mind extremely clear. Several problems he encountered in the previous meeting were now solved instantly.
While Barbarissa was still immersed in the effects of the potion, Leo pointed to the statue in the obsidian box and asked, "How did you get this statue?"
Barbarissa also looked at the statue in the box and said: "On the day I was assassinated, someone sent it to me. The person who sent it told me that this thing could fulfill all my wishes, but the greater the wish, the higher the price.
The bigger it gets."
"Do you believe that all wishes come true?" Leo asked disapprovingly.
"Letter." Barbarissa nodded probably, "Because the person who sent me the thing is the person I trust the most."
"The person you trust the most?" Leo smiled and asked, "Then tell me, who is that person?"
"He is..." Just when Barbarissa was about to tell Leo who the person who gave him the statue was, his words stopped abruptly, and there was a look of confusion on his face. After a while, he said with confusion:
"I clearly remember that there is a person who has my absolute trust. I also have this person in my mind, but I just don't know how to tell you. Who is this person?" He paused and said with a gloomy face.
: "What's going on? Am I being plotted against?"
Leo did not answer Barbarissa's question. He stared at the statue in front of him for a while, and then directly picked it up from the obsidian box. The statue did not show any abnormal reaction, as if the statue itself had wisdom and knew what to mess with.
, nothing to mess with.
"What is this?" Barbarissa couldn't help but asked again.
This time Leo gave an explanation, saying: "This is a statue carved from the bones of a certain abyss superior. It can be used as a descendant of the abyss superior. For those cultists who worship the abyss, this thing
It can be regarded as a priceless holy object."
Although Barbarissa did not fully understand Leo's words, he could guess that the thing in Leo's hand must be very unusual, and it would definitely be a disaster in his hands, so he tentatively asked: "Mr. Leo
,Can you take this thing away?"
Leo put the statue back into the obsidian box, closed the lid, then looked at Barbarissa, and said solemnly: "There is no problem in taking it away, but even if I take it away, some problems are still unresolved."
"Any more questions?" Barbarissa hesitated and asked seriously.
"For example, why was this thing given to you for use? What is their purpose? If you don't understand these things, you will definitely encounter similar plots. You won't be so lucky next time. I can be there in time.
Appeared in front of you." Leo said as he looked up and down Barbarissa, then as if he discovered something interesting, he signaled Barbarissa not to move, and then reached out and scratched Barbarissa's neck.
Suddenly, a drop of blood seeped out from Barbarissa's neck and fell on Leo's finger.
Leo put the blood on his fingers in front of his eyes, and after checking it repeatedly using his spiritual vision and spiritual net, he looked at Barbarissa in surprise and asked: "What happened to you recently? Why did you
Is your bloodline beginning to return to its ancestors?"
"Atavism?" Barbarissa looked at Leo with a confused expression. He didn't understand what Leo was talking about, but he knew very well that the content of Leo's inquiry must be closely related to his situation, so he truthfully told what happened in the recent period.
The matter was explained in detail.
It turns out that before the assassination incident, some things happened around Barbarissa. First of all, some strange phenomena would appear inexplicably in the castle. For example, servants would see dead servants in the castle still walking around in the castle.
Things will shift inexplicably, or even float directly in front of people.
In addition to the castle, some incredible things happened to Barbarissa. For example, Barbarissa found that his energy had become extremely strong. He could not sleep for several days without feeling tired or sleepy. In addition, there was something in front of him.
Hallucinations often occur, and the strange thing is that he is very sure that he is hallucinating before his eyes, but he cannot remember the content of the hallucination at all. The only thing he remembers is a voice that sounds like his name.
In order to confirm what he said, Barbarissa also imitated the word. Because the sound of the word was very weird, he said it more than ten times in a row before he could barely say it correctly, but it was still very different from the voice in the hallucination.
difference.
However, what Barbarissa didn't know was that Leo already understood the meaning of the sound Barbarissa said, not because he understood the language represented by the sound, but because the sound induced the voices represented in the Throne Square.
The stone pillar of the dryad's natural power produces a very weak resonance effect. Obviously, the correct pronunciation of this sound will definitely touch the natural power.
However, Leo's focus at the moment is not on what happened to Barbarissa and the only voice he remembered, but on the time that initially caused various things to happen around Barbarissa, because that time seemed
It happened to be the time when Leo collected the meteorite fragment from the bottom of Lake Narnia in the Shadow Realm, and it was also the time when the Shadow Sun appeared in the Shadow Realm under Leo's influence.
Although it was just a synchronization of time and there was no other evidence to prove that the two were still connected, Leo felt that there must be a mystery that he had not yet discovered.
For this reason, Leo signaled Barbarissa not to move, then checked his body more carefully, and also used the scanning ability in the universal recorder. The result was both within Leo's expectation and also within his expectations.
It was so unexpected that he was stunned for a long time.
Looking at Leo's serious expression, Barbarissa became slightly nervous. He couldn't help but feel uneasy and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Leo, is there something serious wrong with my body?"
"No, you misunderstood! Not only does your body have no major problems, but it is also very good." Leo signaled Barbarissa not to worry, then thought for a moment and said: "Do you still remember what you asked me to investigate?
?"
"Is it something about the Prime God?" Barbarissa thought for a while and confirmed.
Leo nodded and went straight to the topic: "I have investigated clearly. You are indeed related to the Prime God, or your ancestors are related to the Prime God, so you also have some of the blood of the Prime God. I
I think the reason why you were canonized by the True God Church is probably related to your bloodline."
"I have the blood of the Prime God?" Barbarissa was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Leo ignored Barbarissa's reaction and continued: "The various abnormal events that happened in the castle before are probably related to the awakening of your bloodline, and the changes in your body are also related to the awakening of the bloodline, so you don't have to worry.
When your bloodline is fully awakened and you master the power of the awakened bloodline, all abnormal reactions will end, and you will be able to gain extremely powerful power, and may even have god-like abilities."
Although it sounds from Leo's words that the awakening of the bloodline seems to be a good thing, which can allow ordinary people to have extremely powerful power, Barbarissa is not happy because of this, because many years of experience have made him very clear that the greater the gain, the greater the gain.
The greater the harvest, the greater the sacrifice. It is impossible for someone to be so lucky that he does not pay a little and reaps huge benefits. Therefore, in his opinion, if he has gained such a huge gain because of his bloodline awakening, then he
There will inevitably be a similarly huge price to pay.
"What do I need to pay?" Barbarissa asked Leo without hesitation when he knew his situation very well.
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "If I guess correctly, when your bloodline is fully awakened, you may need to become the savior of this world."
