Volume 1: Frostmourne Chapter 226: Visit from the Sixth Prince
"Why did you never say that you had a brother? If you had told me earlier, I would have taken you to find him."
After hearing what Gu Nansheng said, An Qi lowered her head in despair and said sadly: "Brother, he is already dead."
Gu Nansheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the scene in Spider Canyon.
When An Qi took the poison-coagulating pearl, she said: "Everything must turn against itself, and fight poison with poison."
Gu Nansheng asked her how she knew how to poison?
At that time, An Qi's expression was a little unnatural, and she hesitated and said that someone else taught her before.
It seems that this other person is her brother.
Gu Nansheng secretly cursed himself for being too careless, he should have thought of it a long time ago, and it brought back An Qi's unpleasant memories.
He wanted to comfort An Qi, but he didn't know how to speak. How about recognizing him as a sister?
This doesn't make any sense, because he will go to the final test soon, and he won't be able to take care of her then, so it's really pointless to talk in vain.
He changed the subject and said, "Then how did you escape?"
"My brother gave me a bottle of invisibility potion. I wanted to escape with him, but he refused to leave. He wanted to defend the Witch Doctor's Tower with everyone. I also wanted to stay, but my brother said that I would only stay.
It would drag everyone down, so I ran away and later my brother said." An Qi said this with tears already welling up in her eyes.
Gu Nansheng sighed, which reminded him of the scene when he came to this world and fought against natural disasters for the first time. The nameless druid gave up his life for the team's victory.
For the glory of Konoe - this is not just a slogan, it represents a belief.
Maybe only a life with faith is meaningful.
Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng smiled mockingly to himself. Although he looked aloof and glorious, he was actually just a dog driven by fate.
An Qi wiped her tears and continued: "At that time, my brother told me that many medicine doctors are obsessed with life potions and magic potions, because these two things are the best expression of a person.
Something valuable to medical doctors. They place too much trust in the magic power attached to the medicinal materials, but ignore the most natural thing in the world - the medicinal materials themselves. He kept telling me that as long as I work hard to discover
The essence of natural medicinal materials, if I try various materials, I will definitely become a great medicinal physician."
When An Qi said this, she clenched her fists unconsciously, with a hint of stubbornness on her face, "I will definitely become a great medicine doctor."
After listening to An Qi's words, Gu Nansheng sighed to himself. It turned out that this inconspicuous little girl also had her own beliefs and had been fighting for them. In comparison, her life was really miserable.
His life is like a script that has already been written. What he is doing now is to experience every hardship bit by bit until he has the power to change his own destiny.
He "touched" An Qi's head and said a very vulgar saying, "Work hard, your brother will always be watching you in heaven."
"Yeah." An Qi nodded vigorously.
The setting sun is setting, and the faint light and shadow shine through the windows and shine on the thick granite table. All the rooms in the Buffalo Mercenary Group have stone tables, chairs, and beds, even the captain's room is no exception.
Gu Nansheng closed his eyes slightly and sat alone on the stone bed practicing the Nightmare Technique passed down by the Lich King. A strong flow of energy was constantly swirling in his body. As of today, the Nightmare has added 20 points of intelligence to him.
Although 20 points of intelligence does not sound like a lot, don't forget that Gu Nansheng's current level is still very low and it is easy to upgrade. When the level is higher in the future, the upgrade will naturally be slower. It will be difficult to improve his intelligence through upgrading like now.
The room gradually darkened, the moon climbed up the treetops, and soon it was night. The dinner was placed untouched on the stone table in the room. Now Gu Nansheng would be fine even if he didn't eat for a few days...
.
The maid did not dare to enter the room to clear away the unfinished meals. Gu Nansheng had ordered that no one should disturb her as long as her door was closed.
At this time, he suddenly felt an imperceptible flow of energy outside the house, and then, a soundproof barrier came quietly like a curtain of death.
"Who!" Gu Nansheng opened his eyes suddenly, and a dark track emerged from the corner of the wall, quickly spread along the surface, climbed up Gu Nansheng's stone bed like a ghost, and approached Gu Nansheng's body.
Gu Nansheng did not dodge, because he did not feel any killing intent from the shadow path, and even if the opponent wanted to attack, the energy attached to the shadow path could not do anything to him.
"Ding!" Accompanied by the crisp sound of metal collision, a dagger as black as ink was nailed to the edge of the stone bed. It was like cutting tofu until it reached the hilt before stopping the castration.
Gu Nansheng glanced at the black dagger, gathered up the energy in his body, and said to the source of the Shadow Path: "Which friend is it? I know you are outside, why don't you show up and meet?"
When Gu Nansheng finished saying this, the granite in the corner suddenly twisted, and a figure actually passed through the wall and suddenly appeared in the room like a ghost.
After he stood still, the wall returned to its original state without any damage.
Even though Gu Nansheng was used to seeing weird things, he opened his mouth in shock. How did he do this?
Wall penetration?
The person who came was a young man who looked to be in his thirties or forties. He was tall and thin, dressed in black, and had a delicate dagger at his waist.
His facial features are quite delicate. Unlike humans, his ears are pointed and long. He looks like an elf. However, he does not have the green eyes and long hair of an elf, so he should be a mixed race.
Before Gu Nansheng could speak again, the elf crossed his arms, performed the elf etiquette on Gu Nansheng, and said, "I'm visiting late at night. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
"Who are you?" Gu Nansheng's mental power has been connected to Frostmourne in the inventory. He is naturally more vigilant towards such an uninvited guest who has placed a soundproof barrier in the room.
"Dante Crisif, the sixth heir to the Crisif family, thanks to the misplaced love of my friends, I call you the sixth prince."
"Are you the sixth prince?" Gu Nansheng was shocked. He really didn't expect that the young elf in front of him who looked to be in his thirties or forties was actually the sixth prince.
He originally thought that the Sixth Prince, as the dean of Crisif Academy, would be a mature and steady man like Merlin, but he didn't want him to be a young elf who looked thin and tender.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Gu Nansheng regretted a little. He was such a big talker. He said this as if he had been looking forward to meeting the sixth prince for a long time. It was too far away from the cold-blooded image he usually created.
Mr. Yinan’s character should be said-"Who is the Sixth Prince? I don’t know him."
The sixth prince seemed not surprised by Gu Nansheng's reaction. He turned his slender fingers and a golden token appeared in the palm of his hand. On the front of the token was a soaring eagle, and he grabbed a handful in the eagle's talons.
On the back of the sword is a concave character "六".
This is a token that can only be owned by the heir. Gu Nansheng has heard Boss Yuan say it before.
The so-called heir is a child with certain strength in the family. Whether he is born to the wife or a concubine, as long as he has strength, he can inherit the position of the head of the family.
As for children who do not have the talent to change jobs, their status in the family is only slightly higher than that of the servants. The fate of these people is often more miserable than that of children born in ordinary families.
This rule is generally applicable in the Duota Continent. This is determined by the actual situation of the big family. The head of a super big family is at least a first-order strong person. His life span is hundreds of years, and he has many wives and concubines, and many children.
Thousands, plus the family elders and the like also have many children, the heirs have accumulated to tens of thousands. If so many people act like princes and princesses and squander it at will, no matter how rich the family is, it will be eaten up.
Empty….
Some children who are talented in business can manage the family business, but those who are useless have to be left to fend for themselves.
This seemingly cruel system is a means for a large family to select excellent genes and ensure the prosperity of the family. However, even in a large family with excellent genetic genes, the probability of producing waste is not small.
Gu Nansheng had expected that the Sixth Prince would come to the Buffalo Mercenary Group in person. For a super strong man who could kill the Blood Bath Mother, a prince was not qualified to show off.
But to Gu Nansheng's surprise, the sixth prince came alone, without any bodyguards and without alerting anyone in the Buffalo Mercenary Group.
Is he so confident that he is not afraid of any accidents?
Besides, every prince is doing this kind of thing to recruit talents to compete for the throne, so there is no need to do anything secretive? A lot of words
Originally, Gu Nansheng thought that the Sixth Prince should bring a team of extraordinary men with him, and then come to visit him in a dignified manner, accompanied by the head of the Buffalo Mercenary Group. This was to show his solemnity, and the other was to show his strength to Gu Nansheng. Okay.
Make negotiations easier to succeed.
When Gu Nansheng was thinking wildly, the sixth prince's words shocked him so much that he almost drew his sword.
What he said was: "Mr. Gu, you must have been waiting here for a long time."
Gu Nansheng's head was spinning rapidly. How did he know that his surname was Gu?
Feeling the faint murderous aura emanating from Gu Nansheng's body, the Sixth Prince raised his hands and took a step back to show his friendliness, "Mr. Gu, if you want to negotiate, you'd better put away the murderous aura. I know that I am far from your opponent. I will really take action."
If so, maybe in less than three seconds, I'll be dead and in dismembered bodies."
Only then did Gu Nansheng relax his hand that had already grasped the cold hilt of Frostmourne, and said coldly: "How do you know my true identity?"
With a move of his hand, the Sixth Prince made the black dagger inserted into Gu Nansheng's stone bed fly back to his hand as if it had a spirit. Seeing Gu Nansheng's somewhat puzzled look, he smiled.
The author explained: "The Ghost Blade is just a little trick, but it doesn't catch Mr. Gu's eyes."
Ghost Blade is the skill of the ghost in Dota. It throws a dagger at the enemy. The dagger causes slight damage to the enemy units it passes through and leaves a shadow path. The caster can accelerate and move on the shadow path and ignore the terrain. , ignoring all physical obstacles.
In this case, it is not unusual for the Sixth Prince to pass through the wall.
"Mr. Gu, I apologize for the offence. Ever since Mr. Gu killed the black panther with a sword, I have been investigating Mr. Gu's origin. He is one-armed, very powerful, and accompanied by two little girls. I think this characteristic is more obvious. It’s on.”
"The City of Blood is a city that cannot be self-sufficient. It needs to trade with the outside world to exchange some luxury goods for the high-star slayers and lords in the city to enjoy. And the Netherworld Imperial City is the largest trading partner of the City of Blood. I think this is important. Sir also knows."
"Doing business with the Bloody City has huge profit margins. The Dark Earl Enchanter Guild will naturally get involved, so as a trader, I am lucky enough to know a few Seven-Star Slayers who can freely enter and leave the Bloody City. , it’s not surprising to get some information about Mr. Gu.”
Gu Nansheng secretly cursed himself for being confused. He didn't even expect that this guy in front of him could be very successful in a big family. He was certainly not an ordinary person. There were so many Seven-Star Slayers in the bloody city, and there were only one or two who were doing it for some benefit. It's normal to be willing to provide him with information.
He said solemnly: "So, you have already guessed that I am coming to find you? Also, please stop saying 'I'm here' one after another, it makes me uncomfortable."
The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Okay, then I will call myself 'I'."….
"I am just guessing about Mr. Gu's intentions. Since Mr. Gu chose my territory among the eight princes to live permanently, he must also want to cooperate with me? There are many words, so I made my own decision and sent someone to kill him midway. I stopped two groups of visitors from my second brother and seventh sister from meeting you, and I don’t think Mr. Gu will mind.”
Gu Nansheng was in a very unhappy mood, "Stop talking nonsense, so you know why I'm looking for you?"
The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "Merlin, the best heir of the Chrisif family, lives in the bloody city. For my cousin, whom I have never met a few times, I have the utmost admiration for him. Regardless of his strength or Their methods are far superior to mine, so if my cousin is chosen to be the head of the family this time, I will definitely not have a chance."
"Mr. Gu works under my cousin, and we are destined to be together. Of course, this 'fate' may be due to the 'spring'. Since Mr. Gu has an injury on his arm, my brother will naturally mention one thing - the source of life." Quan. I think Mr. Gu also wants to heal his broken arm."
"I also know a little bit about Mr. Gu's deeds in the bloody city, and I can roughly infer Mr. Gu's character from it."
"Mr. Gu will definitely not show off his strength if it is not necessary or profitable, but you have done so twice in a row since you came to the Netherworld Imperial Capital. The first time can be explained by the fact that you killed people without batting an eyelid. But the second time, I can’t explain it. You came to my Dark Earl Enchanter Guild and only sold 25 grams of Blood Bath Mother’s venom, 32 grams of Blood Bath Mother’s blood and a 4.5-meter-long rod. Spider silk, I don’t think a giant spider can only produce this little thing. You clearly don’t want to sell it, but you don’t want to sell it but you come to sell it, then your motive is”
Listening to the sixth prince's unhurried analysis, Gu Nansheng was speechless to the extreme. He thought that everything was under his control, and he wanted to pretend that he didn't know that the sixth prince would come to negotiate with him and then ask for a price.
But I didn't expect that this time I would become a complete clown, showing off my monkey tricks to others.
He really wanted to find a corner and hit him to death, so that he would be embarrassed and thrown into his grandma's house.
Gu Nansheng had known for a long time that he had no talent for intrigues. This time, he originally thought that what he did was quite smart.
Obtaining an extremely precious item from a big family. He didn't know where the item was hidden, and he didn't have enough strength to snatch it. He thought that ordinary people couldn't think of any good way, at least Lina didn't think of it.
Thinking of this, Gu Nansheng shook his head helplessly, he could compete with a simple little girl like Lina.
I remember Luojia said that in the face of absolute strength, all strategies are pale and feeble. Forget it, he will still use his strengths and avoid weaknesses. In the future, he will rely on strength to save himself from being embarrassed in front of such a powerful person.
Gu Nansheng said: "No wonder you dare to come here alone without being afraid that I will kill you. It turns out that you already know my purpose. That's good. This saves you a lot of nonsense and lets you negotiate terms directly."
"Okay, Mr. Gu, please speak quickly. Let's get straight to the point. As long as I ascend to the position of the head of the family, the fountain of life will be in Mr. Gu's hands."
Gu Nansheng touched the ring on his hand without any intention of speaking. He was waiting for the other party to increase the price. He was not satisfied with just the fountain of life.
The sixth prince smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Gu, since you can just give out four-star wristbands to two strange girls, what else can you expect me to come up with to make you excited? Four-star equipment, even myself
Not many."
Gu Nansheng would not believe the nonsense of the sixth prince. He reminded: "Sixth prince, you should know that you are not the only choice for me. It seems that the fourth prince has a greater chance of winning than you, so why should I take the risk and choose you?
?”….
The sixth prince touched his nose and said meaningfully: "Mr. Gu, do you really think that the fourth prince has a greater chance of winning than me?"
Gu Nansheng was stunned and felt unsure. He was just hearing it from hearsay, but he refused to relax and said, "You have a trump card, but others may not have a trump card."
The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "It's no use having a trump card, the key is to see who is ruthless enough." When the Sixth Prince said this, there was a faint murderous intention all over his body, and his delicate facial features looked a bit ferocious.
When political power changes, fratricide is common. Some families in Duota Continent will even acquiesce in this situation. Only in this way can the most courageous head of the family be selected.
Gu Nansheng had never been happy with people like the Sixth Prince who did not recognize their relatives. He traced the marks left by the dagger on the stone bed with the pads of his fingers and said lightly: "What do you think will happen if I take you to see the Fourth Prince?"
Gu Nansheng's words were a naked threat. He did not say whether he would take the living sixth prince to see the fourth prince, or whether he would take the dead sixth prince to meet the fourth prince.
"Haha!" The Sixth Prince laughed, "You don't need to take my body with you, you just need to take my head. That's more convenient!"
Gu Nansheng frowned slightly. In front of such a conspirator who calculated everything, he always felt that he was completely seen through, so that his threats were a little weak. This feeling made him extremely unhappy.
The Sixth Prince took out a shadow crystal and injected a small amount of magic power into it. The crystal immediately left a shadow on the ground. Some words and some human-shaped patterns could be vaguely seen, but it was unclear what the specific words were.
"What's this?"
"Mr. Gu, do you know why the Krisif family looks down upon the entire Netherworld and has become the royal family here?"
Gu Nansheng didn't like the sixth prince's way of asking questions. He said coldly: "Do you think I will know? If you have anything to say, just say it."
The sixth prince chuckled: "Yes, you won't know, because Merlin won't tell you, and if you go to the fourth prince, he won't tell you either, because this is a secret of the Chrissy family!
