Deep in the Hongyan Mountains, inside the Vampire Castle.
Newman, who was sitting high on the throne, held his chin in a fist with one hand and gently caressed the milk cat in his arms with the other hand.
Bu Jin is still recounting the thrilling encounters on the road from when they invaded Lu Yu territory and were captured and imprisoned to when they regained their freedom.
The vampire elders sitting on both sides of the palace were whispering to each other after hearing the words. Many people who were angry and wanted to deprive the Six Wings of their titles after learning that Bujin and Naling were captured reiterated their opinions.
"Fear at the soul level, suppression of the source of the vampire's talent..." An elder playfully repeated the words used in Bujin's narrative, "It sounds like... you are very afraid of the man named Lu Yu."
Bujin was sweating profusely: "His servant's name is Xu Yu... She is what I fear..."
"I would rather know if this is just an excuse, an excuse you are looking for due to lack of strength and fear of punishment." Someone said, "The enemy in your description is more like a higher-level magician beyond our cognitive scope. Just now
Someone at the elders' table said it well... What you described seems to have been fabricated by a god to specifically kill the vampire hunters."
Bujin was at a loss. He just described the horror he felt for a moment, without thinking that his description was full of doubts from top to bottom.
Newman remained silent. He had a panoramic view of all the elders' reactions. When Bu Jin's lengthy description was over and there was only the sound of "oo@@" in the audience, he used his eyes to signal the subordinates on the side to pick up the golden hammer and gently
Ring the small bell next to the throne.
With three bells ringing on his face, Newman straightened his crooked body and looked solemn.
Bu Jin lowered his head in fear, not daring to look at him.
Newman stopped the questioning from the elders' bench. He left the throne with the cat in his arms, walked down the steps step by step, and came to Bukin's side.
"Strong opponents will always put great pressure on our warriors in battle. Bukin's description should make us pay attention and seriously examine the strength of this group of despicable invaders, rather than criticize and abuse him..." Newman
He joked, "We are not human beings. We can liquidate our fellow humans without any scruples. After all, there are many of them."
Newman's words caused a burst of laughter to echo in the palace.
"At the same time, we should also be curious." Newman raised his palm to indicate a pause in laughter, "The strength of individuals cannot make up for the huge gap in numbers. What makes these few people dare to offend the soul of the blood clan? Invading this land has been written by us.
A land with a name on it?”
Their anger was suppressed by doubts, and the elders whose emotions were aroused by Newman also began to feel confused.
"Tell me again what happened on your way back so that the elders can hear clearly." Newman ordered.
Bu Jin did not dare to neglect.
After leaving Lu Yu's territory, Bujin galloped all the way, fearing that humans would go back on their word. In the long history, they had suffered losses many times.
He had adapted to it after not sucking blood for a long time, but the sudden smell of blood made him stop.
Bu Jin groped forward following the smell, and saw a dazzling light in the distance across a small slope. When he slowly approached, he realized that there were corpses all over the field along the way.
Standing near the pile of corpses of humans and vampires, the faint light outlined a human-shaped silhouette, and in his hand was a dying vampire.
Bujin stepped forward angrily, but the moment he got close to the opponent...horrifying magic like a landslide and tsunami came over him.
The man slowly turned around, but Bujin couldn't see his face. Endless light occupied his field of vision. The dazzling light made him shed tears. A burning sensation spread throughout his body, as if it was ignited by a fierce fire.
Bujin could only feel that the opponent was moving towards him quickly. His sixth-level instinct and rich combat experience saved him. Instead of retreating, he advanced and violently collided with the radiant humanoid. He attacked with only his subconscious.
In the middle, Bujin hit the opponent by chance.
Then Bujin escaped.
The elders showed contempt again, but Newman put his hand on Bujin's shoulder.
Newman's subordinate came out holding a golden plate, and a piece of clothing embroidered with silver maple leaves was passed around the elders' table.
"This picture..."
"Silver maple leaves appear to be...the Theocracy!"
The elders in the palace who had remained silent were furious. They banged on the table and demanded that the delivery speed be accelerated.
Unable to calm down, every vampire elder's eyes were dull and solemn after seeing the pieces of clothing.
Among the Vampires, the Theocracy is often called the Kingdom of Glory by some, and what the dominant Vampires fear most is light magic.
Since the establishment of the Four Mela Kingdoms, their territory has continued to expand and has become stable in the past hundred years.
Broken Gold City is located on the southwest border of the entire Mela, south of Solon, and west of the Theocracy. Because the two countries deliberately maintained a border distance, this area has never been involved. It has only supported many city-states and small countries.
An indisputable fact is that if the Theocracy wants to rule this area, the Vampires are powerless.
The current Pope Laurent is a good old man who has been in power for 80 years. In order to avoid tension in the external relations of the Theocracy, he formulated a missionary convention. This prevents the Radiant believers from squeezing the regional religions of other countries and city-states, and also makes the fragmented
There are no Theocracy personnel moving around Jincheng at all.
Now, people from the Theocracy have appeared, and according to Bujin's description...
Exuding dazzling brilliance, the silver maple gold silk embroidered robe is steadily pressed with gold...
That terrifying name is about to come out.
"The incarnation of radiance..." an elder said with difficulty in the quiet palace.
An extension of the Theocracy's will, monsters as famous as the Silent Ones of Slaegol, the Black Men of Solon, and the Shadow Guards of Cordzoun.
They are smaller in number and stronger in strength. They believe in the God of Glory and are willing to dedicate themselves to it. They are not even afraid of death.
The radiant incarnation is a fanatical believer!
"Why are you here...Is the Theocracy going to start a conquest?"
Unease is spreading.
The dominant species can make unscrupulous calculations and pull the Broken Gold City into pieces, but they do not have the power to deal with the consequences from the four major countries.
"Laurent of the Theocracy is about to die, why would he send the radiant incarnation to this remote place at this time? There are no rich mines here anymore and it is a place abandoned by mankind."
Newman clasped his hands behind his back and looked into the distance, thoughtfully: "Several humans suddenly invaded our territory and each one has amazing strength. The point is, these people are all young without exception... When did this land appear?
They have acquired so many geniuses, and they happened to come together to settle in this remote place. They seem to have no desire to make progress and become famous, and they just want to care for themselves in old age... Such languid ideas seem to be incompatible with them."
"The ignorant, short-sighted and selfish nobles of Broken Gold City suddenly cut their flesh and blood and carried us to death. Everyone, have you ever seen those stupid fat pigs generously take out their wealth and give it to those who they look down upon at all?"
Those?"
"The incarnation of radiance appears suddenly...it's really interesting."
Following Newman's words, many elders shed a cold sweat.
They seemed to be able to see, on the other side of the snow-capped mountains, a big hand reaching out to the land that had been ignored by the two big countries. Dark clouds had covered the sky of the vampires, and violent thunder was brewing.
"What does the Theocracy want?"
Newman said: "Laurent was about to die, and the new pope needed merit to prove his ability, and they chose this place."
The very reasonable inference made the vampire elders realize it one after another, but...
"Could it be that everything that happened was just a coincidence..."
Newman was silent for a long time, and the cat in his arms rubbed his arm vigorously.
"Maybe it's a coincidence, but we can't afford to bet." Newman said, "The original attack on Broken Gold City was to test the reaction of the major powers of mankind. Now that the information has been obtained, they have become uncharacteristically aggressive and started to strangle us regardless of the cost. At this time, there is another
A group of powerful young people pierce our hearts and confidently demand 'compensation'..."
"Everyone, if we treat it as a coincidence, and Laurent suddenly sets in the sunset...the glorious incarnation hidden in the corner we can't see will surge out, and the flesh and blood of the vampires will be cast into the crown of the new pope, paving the way for his smooth coronation and consolidation of power.
.”
After another long silence, Newman spoke.
"Bujin, you lead my subordinates to discuss compensation matters with that group of humans."
"Give me the order to face the hunt by the adventurers from Broken Gold City and shrink the scope of activities."
The elders in the palace clenched their fists one by one, their faces turned red with humiliation. Some elders who brought human papers to the meeting vented their anger on them, as if this punch and kick could break the pressure from the four major countries.
They clearly defeated the elves and giants, and once slaughtered the adventurers of Broken Gold City as livestock, but now they have to be timid and cautious...
All because after the Drained Spirit War, the four great nations that emerged from Melias's body represented the will of the human race.
The dragon is being driven to extinction by Sligo.
The beast count of Cordzoun blocks out the ferocity of many races.
The elves of the north of Solon are silent.
The Theocracy rules all ethnic groups based on faith and religion.
The four major countries are like mountains.
Even though they have become corrupted, even though they have many internal contradictions, they still stand firm and are unbreakable.
Newman was also a little sad. He did not stop these elders from being incompetent and furious. As the leader of the blood clan, even if he felt that something was wrong, he had to look at everything from the most pessimistic perspective.
"Are we going to keep living in humiliation, looking up at the faces of the four major countries, and humbly living?" An elder became angry and smashed the table in front of him.
Newman smiled: "No... we have advantages that humans don't have."
Newman opened his arms as if to embrace the world: "Life and time are on our side."
"The ungrateful lords on the border of Solon have begun to prepare in advance for the coming of the magic wave. What they are waiting for is the reshuffle of power... What we are waiting for is the reshuffle of the racial order."
"Last time, the impregnated spirit broke the process of the various tribes eating the remains of Melias. As a result, the vitality of all tribes was severely damaged, and the dragons were devastated and lost their glory. Humanity was lucky to stand at the pinnacle of Melias." Newman Clenching his fist, "Such luck will never happen again."
"Twenty years, let us wait for twenty years, let humans corrupt, and let them rule this land arrogantly for another twenty years!"
"The moment the magic surges, we will start the next era in their ignited palace."
"Humanity will repay it. Everyone, let us wait patiently for the judgment of mankind. This moment... is not far away!"
…
…
The light jellyfish released a soft light green light, illuminating the grass beside Lu Yu. She did not beat the poor and slow dark jellyfish, but followed Xu Yu and Lu Yu to count the stars in the sky.
Lying on the ground and looking at the stars was Lu Yu's only way to relieve fatigue. Whenever he encountered repeated calls, he would take these cute guys and empty his brain to write out names for the stars in the sky.
The light jellyfish with a mushroom-like head was very happy because Lu Yu found a constellation similar to her shape in the sky. She wanted to show off to the dark jellyfish in a humane way...but the dark jellyfish didn't move.
Under the sky full of stars, Roye came to Lu Yu's side, pillowed his head with his hands, and followed Lu Yu's example and lay down.
"It's very leisurely," Royer said.
"Isn't it nice? There is no bustle, no intrigues, you can happily do what you like and live the life you want." Lu Yu said, "Don't be so tired of being a human being. If you find that getting along with others is really I’m very tired, so I can hide whenever I can. In the past, I couldn’t hide even if I wanted to, so I was forced to face it.”
"You should be a respectable nobleman in your hometown. Are you still being coerced into doing things you don't like?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a while, then smiled bitterly and said nothing.
In life, who can escape the waves of the world.
Lu Yu had no choice before, but now he found that his choice was correct and wise, and most importantly, feasible.
"Ever since I was a child, I have been reading family history and admiring the great deeds of my ancestors... They warned us in their legacy that the Six Pillars are not honor, but responsibility. I want to be like them.
People, but I found that the conditions are not very permissible."
Lu Yu turned around and stared at Roye's slightly older but still handsome side face: "Go on."
"Actually, there's nothing to say...I realized my shortcomings in ability, and then changed my mind. Now, I just want to be a person who won't be ridiculed by future generations, and..."
Royer said firmly: "With no regrets in my heart."
"Sela told me that in addition to shopping and rescuing adventurers, a lot of the money you earned from the commission was distributed to some poor people... in a sneaky way."
Royer smiled and said: "Being discovered by people from the Theocracy proves that I am not sneaky enough. This must be the reason why the Solon royal family is very wary of me."
"I asked you before what you used the money for, why didn't you tell me?"
"It's natural to want to do something, I don't want to show off... I can't save too many people, just one I can help." Royer said, "I also want to know how to change Solon's decay and change this land.
It is the fate of those who are poor and hardworking, and work diligently but live like an ox or a horse.”
"But I didn't expect... I once met the leader of the Forbidden Demon Sect. He told me that magic is the huge gap between people. As long as magic does not exist, all problems will be solved... I once thought it made sense.
But later I discovered..."
"Stupid, right?"
"Yes..." Royer said, "Those who possess weapons will naturally enslave those without weapons. How could magicians give up magic?"
"The ancestors tried their best to let Melias enter the tomb, and the impregnated spirit returned to nothingness, ushering in a glorious era, ushering in prosperity and openness... But now... the efforts of the ancestors seem to have been in vain." Royer choked up, "
