Ian walks faster when alone than when leading a group.
The fortified city, the fairies and the dead king... who can be blessed with the power of the triple inheritance?
At this moment, the power he displayed far exceeded everyone's imagination. The defense and attack of the stone knights, the agility and agility of the goblins, and the terrifying lethality of the dead king made all the phantoms and monsters who tried to stop him
All turned into ashes.
Every time Ian steps forward, ring-shaped frost novae will spread in all directions. Weak phantoms will be directly destroyed. Those with slightly stronger strength will be frozen in place and then be killed by his sword.
The power of the dead souls is concentrated in his eyes, allowing him to directly see the veins of the subspace, just like there is a map of a maze, and he can choose his own route of action at will.
And with the blessing of the prophet, Ian was walking straight towards his goal.
The experimental center of the researchers of Grand Duke Thorin is also the place where he predicted the final battle.
Along the way, there were more and more powerful phantoms, and the army of phantoms like a tide came towards him one after another, seeming to want to consume his strength and hinder his pace - Ian could see that these phantoms seemed to have sanity.
They stood firmly in front of Ian, like warriors blocking the progress of the devil.
——You cannot be allowed to influence our dead king to carry out divine revenge!
Such a belief can be vaguely heard in the hearts of these phantoms.
He doesn't care about this. Everyone has their own beliefs and positions. Ian never feels that he can be recognized by everyone, but no matter what, he does what he chooses.
Ian swung his sword with his right hand, turning the dead ice into a crescent-like arc of light, killing all the phantoms of these 'warriors', and raised his left hand to condense the source material into a shield, blocking countless incoming arrows.
arrow.
His pace cannot be stopped, like a rock standing in the tide. All the phantoms that attack him are like some kind of inferior illusion, and they will even turn into ashes at a glance.
Ian originally thought that this pace of swimming against the current would last for a long time until he reached his destination.
However, he suddenly heard a quiet voice.
【Let him come over】
This voice contained the same power as in Ian's body. The original dead king gave the order, so all the phantoms stopped their movements.
They stared at Ian, then stepped back.
A way is open to him.
Ian raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. As the dead king who originally held power for the longest time, the other party seemed to be able to grasp some of the power of this subspace composed of the wails of countless victims - at least he
It is impossible to shout from a distance in the maze of subspace.
In a sense, is this also a kind of 'Lord of the Labyrinth'?
Perhaps so, he wasn't too interested in the dead king's order asking the phantom to stop attacking. As of now, even the second-level beasts and phantoms are nothing more than a casual sword attack.
I believe that the other party also saw this, so he allowed me to pass as he pleased.
And just as he was approaching the finish line, Ian felt it again.
A strong 'emotion' calls for the power of 'retrospective horizon'.
Another person's life.
[I am the illegitimate son of a nobleman. My birth was an accident. I was a disgrace from the beginning because I could not inherit the bloodline. I even needed to be 'exterminated'. However, my father was not a purely evil person in the final analysis. He told the family elders that
Hiding my existence, but never admitting my identity]
[My mother ran a small jewelry store, and her profits and losses were very high. She and her parents broke up because of me. Without the occasional support from my father, I might not have been able to grow up.]
[So I actually don’t hate him. Although these son-of-a-bitch nobles think they won’t have children with ordinary people and always don’t use contraception, at least it’s not a bad thing if I can be born]
[My mother always believed that I could become something useful. She secretly saved a lot of money and hoped that I could become a bachelor, preferably a bachelor in alchemy. In this way, if I make money in the future, I might be able to become an Ascended One.
Come, I can be recognized by my father's side of the family - although it is impossible to become a direct line, it is very possible to become a side branch]
[This is how many side branches of big families come... After all, if you can become an ascendant, then the nobles would be happy to admit them as a side branch]
[That is the easiest and fastest way for me to change my future and my destiny, and I have been working hard in this direction]
This is a man's voice that is somewhat hoarse but sounds quite gentle.
His voice was very calm, with a kind of tenacity and optimism in his bones, and he softly told his life: "I am a genius, really. I am really smart, especially in the aspect of biological alchemy.
I can learn it well, and my instructor recognized me very much and even introduced me to study at Saint Roch Alchemy Academy]
[Of course, I later learned that the Saint-Roch Alchemy Academy was not an alchemy academy directly affiliated to the Grand Duke, but a joint venture with the Imperial Capital. If you enter that academy, you will not be valued by the Grand Duke... It seems that I have a crush on his children.
Threaten]
[But I am still grateful that he laid a solid foundation for me]
[In the Alchemy Academy, my grades are excellent, but not top-notch. After all, I have not learned the principles of alchemy since I was a child and have enough money to do experiments. My progress is more than a little behind those noble students... But for some reason, I have
A mysterious fund supports my study and experiments]
[The dean told me, don’t ask who gave it to me, I just need to be grateful and study with peace of mind - I had already guessed in my heart, but I still suppressed my excitement and concentrated on laying a solid foundation for myself in the college instead of
In order to catch up with the progress of my classmates, I did some high-risk and high-consuming experiments]
[I can’t let anyone down. Whether it’s my mother or ‘that person’]
[In the end, I graduated with the top ten scores in the college, and I was the only civilian in the top ten]
[On the day of graduation, a mysterious silver-haired man invited me to tea]
[The dean is also in the tea room. From his humble expression, I know the identity of the mysterious man... Yes, Thorin of silver blood, the Night Lord, the ruler of the night sky... In addition to the Grand Duke himself, there are also
Who could it be?】
[It is true that St. Roch Alchemy Academy is not a direct descendant of the Grand Duke, but how could he miss the talents in his territory? 】
[The Grand Duke said that he is very optimistic about me. He thinks that my talent should not be used to learn those potions and alchemy that can only make money... He told me that I have the potential to change the world, and I have this ability]
[I was very moved, but also very inferior. I told the Grand Duke that I was just a commoner with no family knowledge and no background, so I was not worthy of such praise... I did not inherit the bloodline of my father's ascendant at all]
[The Grand Duke told me that the blood of sublimated people can indeed make their descendants physically better than others, but it cannot change a person's character or aura in their mind. There are many stupid and retarded people among the nobles. Of course, there are also ordinary people among them.
Quite a few. After all, the empire has a population of almost 2 billion, how can it be so small? 】
[In short, there is no significant difference between human intelligence and stupidity in this world. Don’t take yourself too seriously because of a little boring blood, and don’t take yourself too lightly.]
[He told me that all the nobles were the first to occupy high positions because their ancestors were smarter, more resourceful, or had better luck than others. In order to maintain their power, they made such a move.
Set up a garbage-like system so that your family can be stable for generations]
[The Grand Duke smiled and said to me that he actually has nothing to complain about. After all, he is the Grand Duke who has been replaced for generations. But even if this is the fact, I cannot underestimate myself because of this stupid system]
[He invited me to join his laboratory, where my intelligence will be maximized]
[From that time on, I swore that I would only be loyal to the Grand Duke for the rest of my life]
