Chapter 20, and then tidy up the things that should be tidied up
Dante's slightly aftertasteful words made Beja behind him stunned. The latter sighed and shook his head...
Then, Leti and others also came here. In the doubtful eyes of several people, Beiya gently picked off a bunch, then picked off one of the petals, put it in her mouth, and started chewing:
"The origin of this flower is indeed the devil's world. It is indeed nothing in the eyes of devils, but for humans, it works like a tonic..."
While saying this, Beiya picked off another flower and handed it to Letty and Ji Liye. The two women looked at the bright flowers in their hands and were stunned for a moment. Then at Beiya's signal, the two women ate the petals in their hands.
Go down...
"I really didn't expect that this kind of flower could have such effect, hmm... maybe it should not only be effective on humans..."
Tracy, who was tasting the flowers, sensed the power contained in the petals, talked nonchalantly, and finally added:
"Huh? Once you leave the body for too long, your power will slowly lose..."
"This kind of flower? It seems useless?"
Angelo, who also ate a piece of flower petal, looked at the others and said something puzzled.
"If it's the two of you, of course it's useless. The effect of this flower can only enhance part of the physique, which is about twice that of an adult. Therefore, even if you eat it regularly, its effect will gradually lose.
Not to mention the two of you!"
After saying that, he threw away the remaining flowers in his hand, greeted a few people, and left...
When a few people walked through the corridor and walked to the main courtyard, they saw a retro-style castle.
The dome covering the top of the building is somewhat similar to the small town opera house. The uniform pine green on both sides of the corridor is divided into patches of flower beds, and in the center is a huge fountain with a diameter of five or six meters.
As for the rest, except for some servants cleaning, there is no other scenery.
Then several people quickly arrived in front of the castle. Just as they were about to open the door and go in, they saw Andrews and Mochi walking out of it...
"It seems that the two of us are back soon, please come in!"
After saying hello to a few people and entering the house, Andrews reported the specific situation to Beja.
Miss, the things you asked me to do are almost done. I have contacted the construction team for some collapsed buildings, and I have sent people to rescue the people in the castle.
However, for some suffering people and the reporters who are about to visit, they need a acceptable explanation. After all, the movement is too big, so I would like to ask the lady for your opinion!"
After saying that, Andrews carefully looked at Nero, especially Nero's extremely ferocious right arm.
Naturally, this little move couldn't be hidden from Beja, but when he was about to say something, Beja looked back at Dante and the others.
After their eyes met, and after confirming that Dante had no intention of "exposing" himself, Beja turned around and ordered:
"To those people and the reporters who are coming, if they do ask, you say this:
The old pope was bewitched by the devil and intended to open the door to hell. After the devil took over the statue, Knight Commander Credo led the Holy Knights to resist. With the blessing of the gods, the devil was repulsed, but unfortunately, Knight Commander Credo
Ledo, including all the other knights of the Order, died in the battle. That’s it!”
Speaking of which, Beja added:
"As for the church headquarters, send all our people there and block all the main entrances and exits, including the experimental base under the castle. Whether they are outsiders or local residents, if they step in without permission, they will be killed!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and let them go down.
However, as soon as Andrews and the two left, Nero wanted to ask, but before he could say anything, Ji Liye stopped him:
"Believe me, Ms. Beja! I think this is the best way!"
Regarding Ji Liye's advice, Beja chuckled lightly, looked at Nero who was full of dissatisfaction, and explained:
"Nero, you have to know that it doesn't matter what the truth is. What matters is that the residents believe that only the truth they believe is the truth. As for the rest, it doesn't matter! Okay, look where..."
After giving Nero a brief explanation, Beja did not discuss the issue further, but immediately changed the subject and drew several people's attention to the oil painting in the center of the hall.
The oil painting is four meters long and two meters high. Starting from the far left, there are human beings holding sharp knives in their hands. There are men and women. Some expressions are very angry, some expressions are very calm, and some expressions are very vicious, but there is no exception.
, all holding their sharp blades high, as if there was something hateful ahead of them.
Looking further forward, I saw two girls, one wielding silver-white double blades in both hands, the other wielding a slender knight's sword, and the two people in the front,
One was a young man with blond hair, probably in his twenties, wearing dark silver armor and wielding an ordinary knight's sword in his hand.
And at the end is a mysterious man with silver hair and a purple windbreaker. In the painting, he is seen wielding a strangely shaped sword, and a very ordinary-looking Japanese sword hangs behind his back.
Almost everyone's eyes were drawn to the man in the purple windbreaker after seeing him.
Then looking back, the vivid "protagonists" from before instantly turned into foils, as if the author of this painting had done it intentionally. It was so mysterious.
Why use the word "mysterious"? Because except for him, there is no sense of inconsistency in the clothes, expressions, and sword-wielding movements of everyone else.
And after seeing the mysterious man in a purple trench coat, his luxurious temperament, the gesture of wielding a big sword, and the extremely cold face, this sense of dissonance immediately appeared.
The feeling that makes people unable to look away, the invisible attraction, the illusion that your soul is about to be taken away, all highlight the magic of this painting.
After looking at it for a long time, Dante touched the noble man wearing a purple windbreaker and shouted involuntarily:
"Is this ~ father?"
"Yes, if my grandfather didn't lie to me, this handsome guy is your father, and he is also the god worshiped by the people living on this land for generations - Sparta!"
After saying that, Beja touched the blond man behind Sparta with a nostalgic look, and said with nostalgia:
"I never expected that my grandfather, the old guy who always talked about running trains, would be so handsome when he was young! The content of this painting is about everything he experienced on that island."
"Wow! If you put it like that, it must be very memorable!"
Beja's words made Letty couldn't help but admire her.
"Yeah! Yes! When my unlucky uncle wanted to sell this painting, the other party offered 300 million. Although he didn't go out because of some things, my grandfather still found out. The final result was that my uncle's
Both legs were broken!"
As he spoke, he looked to the right...
"This painting seems to contain incredible magic. I always feel a little uncomfortable. What's going on?..."
Looking at this painting, Tracy frowned and asked. It seemed that she was really affected by this painting. Several people saw traces of tiny electric lights flashing on Tracy's body...
Different from other people's feelings when seeing this painting, Tracy always felt that this painting seemed to be conscious and seemed to want to suck herself in. It was incredible.
"It's okay. My grandmother cast magic on this painting to attract those creatures in the dark. Look..."
Patting Tracy on the back, Beja explained to everyone,
Then, amid everyone's doubtful gazes, Beja stretched out her right hand, and then touched the figure of the blond young man behind Sparta, as if she was looking for something.
Suddenly, several people saw that when Beiya touched the blond young man's arm, the smooth arm suddenly sank in, apparently grabbing something.
The next moment, in the expressions of realization on the faces of several people, Beja's right hand was seen joined with the hand of the blond young man in the oil painting, that is, her grandfather.
Then he took hold of the knight's sword in his hand and suddenly pulled it out. He saw that the sword in the hand of the blond man on the oil painting disappeared.
And the disappeared knight's sword was shining brightly in Beja's hands.
"Oh my God, this..."
Taking the knight's sword from Beja's hand, Nero exclaimed and then waved it twice.
"I have never seen the world at first glance. I remember when my mother and I were staying in a hotel, all those demons ran out of the mirror..."
Angelo, who was laughing at his brother for not having seen the world, suddenly felt his feet being kicked. He couldn't say anything. Then he turned around and saw that his mother's face looked a little unnatural...
Well, it seems that I am not allowed to talk about it, maybe because I am afraid of hurting Nero's heart.
Angelo thought to himself and quickly put away his playful expression.
"Uh, it's okay, mother. In fact, I think the situation from now on will not be very good!"
The reaction of his mother and brother came into his eyes. Nero smiled back and then handed the sword back:
"An old antique!"
"That's true. This painting was originally designed to attract those "guys" who don't have a long eye. It's just a coincidence that I put this in!"
After saying that, Beja directly threw the knight sword in her hand.
This episode doesn't actually mean anything. For Dante and Letty, even if it is outrageous, it is not that they have never seen it before. However, in Tracy's eyes, this kind of power should not appear in the hands of humans, so
One more question.
Then several people looked to the right, and what they saw were all kinds of demons and the residents living in "hell".
Some look like gorillas on TV, some look like complete skeletons, some look like blood-stained angels,
But the most eye-catching thing is the figure that looks like a human being, wearing a black cloak. Scarlet eyes flashing under the cloak are staring closely at the people outside the painting. The scepter in his hand is held high, surrounded by people.
The flames of hell were burning, as if they were about to burst out of it at the next moment.
Behind the Hell Mage, a humanoid demon wearing black armor and holding a double-edged sword was wiping the blade in his hand, with two white wolves lying at his feet.
At the end of this oil painting, the background is a bottomless darkness, and the few people standing in front of the oil painting seem to see a figure with six wings on its back in the darkness, and its whole body is shining with something more dazzling than the light of the sun.
"God" tore through the darkness and came out of it.
"In the extremely deep darkness, His light appeared. That light was more dazzling than the sun, but it brought people true despair and fear..."
At this time, a low voice pulled the consciousness of several people out of the darkness. Except for Dante, who looked indifferent and even wanted to laugh but couldn't, the other people all patted their chests seriously.
Ji Liye, who had the biggest reaction, held Nero's arm tightly.
"Ha! Actually, that's it!"
After reacting to what had just happened, Angelo looked at the blurry golden figure on the oil painting and sneered.
Nero patted Ji Liye on the shoulder to signal her not to worry, but when he turned back and looked at the oil painting again, he saw the blurry golden figure, with a strong fighting spirit and desire for power flashing in his eyes.
There is no doubt that the artist's technique for this painting is very magical, and it even makes people wonder if he took out his own desires and put them inside...
There is no doubt that the few people who have just been immersed in it have more or less sensed the emotions coming from it. It is a feeling of despair that cannot be described in words, and this is just seeing the portrait of "Him"...
"It's okay. This guy was defeated once by Sparta and the Guardian Hand led by him two hundred years ago. Two hundred years later, he was defeated by your uncle. He is already dead. There is no need to worry about him.
.”
I don’t know if this sentence from Beiya’s mouth was meant to tell everyone or to comfort herself, but in short, the impact of this painting on everyone is,
Especially the current Angelo and Nero, the sound they brought to them will not dissipate for a long time. The two brothers who originally longed for power are even more eager for the incomparably deep darkness and the indescribable despair. As long as they are in
Here, at this time, experiencing it once is enough.
The two brothers looked at each other, and both saw a look in their eyes, one that was extremely hungry for power...
"Okay, it's getting late today. It's time to eat at this time. Let's have a night's rest. I'll take you to a place tomorrow..."
Beja's voice interrupted the two brothers' reverie. Then, under the arrangement of the housekeeper, everyone had a very sumptuous dinner. After they were full of wine and food, under the arrangement of the housekeeper, they chose their respective rooms.
, and then they all went to rest.
When returning to the room, Letty happened to see Dante leaning against the window on the second floor, holding the unfinished red wine in his hand, so she walked up and asked:
"Why do you seem so unhappy? You have surprisingly few words today. Why, do you not know how to get along with your "family"?"
After saying that, looking at the somewhat melancholy face, he seemed to have thought of something and laughed.
"What are you laughing at? I just feel a little dazed, like I'm in a dream, but actually I'm still very happy."
Seeing Leti smile, Dante asked a question first, and then looked at the bright moon and stars in the sky outside and said with emotion.
"Ah? Oh! In fact, this situation is similar to other people. Suddenly there are a few more relatives, ha! Let's get in touch with each other more, then"
Letty was still a little surprised by Dante's answer, but after thinking about it, she felt the same way. Then when she wanted to enlighten her, before she finished speaking, she saw Tracy holding a goblet in her hand.
, came over, there was still unfinished red wine in the glass.
"It's so late, what are you doing here? Are you on a date?"
With the half-joking words and the elegant posture, Letty and Dante looked at each other and laughed.
"Ha! No, I just can't sleep, although the environment here is very nice."
"Well! Actually, I want to discuss it with Beiya. If possible, I would like to live here for a while!"
Tracy took the wine bottle from Dante's hand, then poured a glass, took a sip, and said something.
"Ah? Well, the environment here is indeed good!"
Nodding in agreement, Letty said calmly.
"No, not just because of the scenery, but"
At this point, Tracy suddenly paused, thought about it, and finally said what was in her heart:
"Because of the painting just now, I think there should be knowledge here that I have not been exposed to. And I just went to the third floor for a walk. They are all book rooms. I think there should be a lot of knowledge there that I have not been exposed to. In general,
What’s important is that underneath this villa…”
After explaining her purpose to the two of them, Tracy pointed to the ground at the end.
Obviously, there must be something interesting to her underground in this huge villa, otherwise it would be impossible for her to say such things based on her character.
After the three of them chatted for a few more words, Letty and Tracy walked into their house and went to rest. Dante, who was left alone, looked at the scenery outside the window, with a look of memories flashing in his eyes...
The next day, after several people had breakfast, Beja took a few people to the rightmost room on the first floor, which was also the room where she would live in the future.
Looking at the huge photo on the bedside, which was similar to a wedding photo, Dante touched his chin and said meaningfully:
"I can't believe that my stupid brother would take such a photo!"
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize the error in his words and quickly sneered and shook his head.
"Huh? Nero was so cute when he was little!"
On the other side, Ji Liye picked up a photo frame on the dressing table and said with a smile.
Hearing the voice of Ji Liye, Nero walked over quickly, then took a look at the scene on the photo, and quickly took it back from Ji Liye's hand...
In the photo, I saw two little white-haired babies lying naked on the bed. One of them was lying on the other's body, constantly touching the latter's magnificent body that shone with blue light.
After Angelo saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of the past, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Looking at Angelo's somewhat gloomy expression, Beja comforted him:
"Okay, let it go, everything is over!"
He took the photo frame from Nero's hand, placed it on the dressing table again, walked to the bed, and gently kicked the bed board twice.
Then, as several people looked puzzled, the sound of gears turning came from under the bed.
Then I saw the double bed in front of me suddenly sank, then flipped to one side, revealing a tunnel extending downward.
"This is why I want you three to stay. Likewise, Angelo and Nero, the biggest secrets in our family are all here. Okay, let's go down."
After explaining to a few people, Beiya stepped on the stairs and went underground.
Looking at the stairs leading down, Ji Liye, who had experienced this disaster, understood clearly that there were some things that she could not know, and then turned around and asked Nero:
"Nero, should I wait outside?"
However, before Nero could speak, Beja's voice came from below:
"It's okay, it's safe down there, everyone, come down!"
After receiving the answer, Letty greeted Dante, and the three of them walked down first, followed closely by Angelo and Nero.
In fact, the moment the passage opened, except for Letty and Tracy who didn't know what was inside, Dante already knew the specific scene inside. Even if there were some mistakes in judgment, he was still inseparable.
But after all, this is not my office, nor is it the Demon King's castle, or any other place where demons are imprisoned.
In short, compared with everything I have experienced before, here at least I can't mess around, so I have some scruples.
When a few people came down, they found that the tunnel was not that dark, but very bright. Perhaps because of the angle of the light, it looked dark from the outside.
Looking at the "Night Pearl" above their heads, several people surprisingly thought of it together.
"The "night pearl" on the top of the head is a stone from the devil world - the magic light stone. Perhaps it is because of the different rules between the two latitudes.
A stone that looks very ordinary in the demon world can glow in the human world, which is very magical. Of course, you can also use it as a luminous pearl."
Beja explained it to several people, of course, mainly to Angelo and Nero.
Dante has been in and out of the Demon Realm countless times, and Tracy is from the Demon Realm. Beja doesn't believe that the two of them don't know this bit of common sense.
Then several people quickly walked through the tunnel and arrived at the first door on this floor.
Just when Beja was about to open the door, a harsh and cold laughter passed into the ears of several people. Angelo instantly became alert, and Nero even took out the Yama Sword, and then blocked Ji
In front of Liye...
With the reactions of his two sons clearly visible, Beja turned to look at Dante, who had his hands behind his back, and quickly told them to put down their guard, and then shouted to the end of the passage:
"Brack (transliteration, meaning black) is here, come here!"
As Beja's voice fell, from an invisible shadow, a figure holding a sickle and wearing a black robe flew over.
After realizing that this guy had no ill intentions, several people lowered their guard, looked at the flying demon, and frowned.
"This guy is the caretaker here. I think you must be familiar with him!"
Looking at the calm faces of Dante and the other three, Beja asked calmly.
"This guy is just one step away from the lord level... Do you keep him at home to guard against something?"
Looking at the demons flying up and down all around, Tracy couldn't help but ask.
In response to Trish's words, Beja did not answer, but waved, and saw the demon put away the sickle, then flew to Beiya, lowered its head, and held up the bone claws, as if to salute.
This idea flashed through several people's minds, and then...
"Are you kidding me? This guy knows how to salute?"
Seeing Bea put her hand on the demon's outstretched bone claw, Letty exclaimed.
"This guy was brought here many years ago by one of my family's ancestors and the great mage who manipulated demons back then, specifically to guard everything here."
After saying that, Beja motioned to the demon to "stand up" and smiled as he saw a look of doubt flash across the other's skeletal face.
"My ancestor didn't believe in the so-called mechanism, so he kept this guy stationed here, so... think about it, if a thief comes here and encounters it, what will happen..."
Although Beiya didn't finish what she said, everyone understood what it meant, and they were even more confused as to what was inside that made such a guy guard it.
Seeing Beja staring at the demon bowing in front of her, Angelo said half-jokingly:
"I can't believe that Mom, you actually have such a hobby!"
In response to Angelo's joke, Beja shook her head, grabbed the face of the demon in front of her, and then took it off directly.
"My favorite thing to play when I was a kid was to take off its face and watch it helpless. I thought it was funny."
While listening to Beiya's words, several people looked at the demon who had his face taken off. He looked helpless, which was very funny and funny.
Then, after Beja put its face back again, she waved her hand, and the demon bowed her hand, then got into the wall beside it and disappeared.
Then, after pushing the door open, what came into view was a huge amethyst skull. How big was that crystal skull?
Even the tallest Dante could only just touch the teeth of the crystal skull. You can imagine how big this huge amethyst skull is.
"Wow! This thing must be sold for a lot of money. Well... at least it will be enough to pay for the water and electricity bills for half a lifetime!"
Dante, who was watching from a distance and crossing his arms, couldn't help but make a comment.
"Although this is very beautiful and beautiful, Ms. Beja, why does it have to be carved like a skeleton?"
After touching the crystal skull, Ji Liye asked doubtfully.
"Why, aren't you scared?"
Ji Liye's reaction surprised Beiya, who asked with a smile in her eyes.
"I just thought it was very beautiful. Although it looked like a skeleton, I didn't feel the slightest fear. I didn't know what was going on."
Ji Liye replied, and then touched the chin of the crystal skull again. The cold touch was like putting her hand on a mirror. No, it should be said to be smoother than a mirror.
"Of course, it's really beautiful, although I don't know who the blind guy was who made it look like this."
After Gillie finished speaking, Letty followed closely and echoed.
"And there is no obvious magic fluctuation on it. Is it really just a decoration?"
Tracy also asked.
Then, under the confused eyes of several people, Beya touched the huge crystal skull in front of her, and then slowly told them its origin:
"About 1908, around the time of World War I, my grandfather received a message from a high priest in Egypt. A group of British people secretly sneaked into an unknown pyramid in the name of archeology.
It was nothing at first, but according to the stories my grandfather told me and the notes he left behind, there was a very powerful demon suppressed underground in that pyramid, and that group of people wanted to release it."
Speaking of this, Beja paused for a moment, then looked up at the "artwork" in front of her and added:
"Actually, he didn't know whether the group was really unintentional or intentional. I was also confused when I looked at his notes at the time!"
After finishing speaking, he sighed and looked regretful for not being able to find out the truth. Then he shook his head and continued:
"But in the end the demon woke up. Fortunately, it did wake up, but because the most critical thing was taken away by my grandfather, it could not break free from the seal and could only release a clone.
Unfortunately, its clone was too strong. If the Chaos Overlord was the most powerful demon he had ever faced, then the clone released by the inner demon would be the most troublesome existence.
"
Having said this, Beja's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and she continued to tell several people:
"Later, he teamed up with several Taoist immortals from the East and chased them all the way to the far north of Asia. They had a final decisive battle with the opponent on the shores of Lake Tunguska in Siberia. He did not tell the story clearly what happened in the middle.
It's just that the demon's clone was forced to self-destruct by them. The power of the explosion directly blasted a huge crater of 100 meters in the ground. The whole earth shook, and then, they saw a strange scene..."
Having said this, Beiya took a few steps back, then turned to look at everyone, smiled and then said in a positive tone:
"At the bottom of the 100-meter huge pit, there were dozens of scattered skeletons of "giants" lying. Afterwards, my grandfather discussed with the Taoist priests from the East and took the smallest one among them to divide the rest.
They were all buried, and my grandfather took the head, which is what you see now."
After saying that, he looked at the huge crystal skull in front of him and fell into deep thought.
The smallest among them, what about the largest? And this skull is obviously not from the devil, so where does it come from?
It seems that this unsolved mystery will never be solved.
A thought flashed through several people's minds involuntarily...
Without stopping for more, under the leadership of Beja, after passing the crystal skull, we came to the second underground floor. Looking around, there were rows of weapons and armor on the left, and rows of bookshelves full of books on the right.
Then, in an inconspicuous corner, Beya pushed aside a wall in front of her, then called everyone in and walked in.
As soon as you enter the door, a dark light shines down from the magic light stone embedded in the ceiling. What you see is that on a high platform half a person's height, a blood-red glass cup is emitting red light. Through the cup,
A few people could even see blood-red liquid flowing inside.
What is that, blood? Or an unknown liquid...
When I walked in, I saw four different faces carved on the four sides of the cup, which looked very strange in the blood-red light.
"This thing is the main purpose of why I asked you to come here. This cup, its name is the Holy Grail of Blood, also called the Holy Grail of Plague."
After saying that, looking at the blood-red cup in front of her, Beiya took a deep breath. After stopping Letty from touching the cup, under the questioning eyes of several people, Beiya slowly told about the cup.
History:
"In the Middle Ages, that is, fifteen hundred years ago, that period was the period when magical power was at its peak.
Paladins and demon hunters wielded swords and spears to kill demons, and then handed their bodies over to alchemists.
The alchemists decompose the demon's body and make it into weapons, armor, and some convenient and practical magic tools, that is, things other than weapons and armor."
"And this cup was made by an unknown alchemist at the time. Perhaps the original intention was to replace the monopoly of the Star of Life and the Star of Magic, but the result..."
Having said this, Beya took a deep breath,
"As a result, under the temptation of the devil, this Holy Grail came out. How about its power? It is a curse that has always been aimed at the soul. Have you seen Resident Evil?"
At this point, Beja, who didn't know how to describe the function of this cup, asked a few people, and then found that except for Angelo and Nero, Dante and Letty's expressions were a little unnatural:
"What's that expression on your face?"
"Um~, I've seen the movie Resident Evil, but I just remembered someone, um, Dante's half-brother!"
"ah?"
Hearing Letty's teasing words, Bea was stunned for a moment.
But Dante quickly waved his hand and denied:
"Come on, look at his bitter and hateful face, and you'll know that I'm much more handsome than him!..."
Trish who was on the side couldn't help but rolled her eyes when she heard Dante's words.
Ignoring the three people's quarrel, Beiya watched them calm down and continued:
"Just as you imagined, at the cost of burning souls, the demon manipulator infected the infected and then attacked other humans. After the family leader cleaned up this thing, many people had died, leaving behind
The biggest sequelae of the epidemic - the Black Death - came out."
After saying that, Beja reached out to the high platform, passed through a transparent light, and took out the Holy Grail of Blood.
The moment he took it out, many small black dots suddenly appeared on Beja's arm. After stopping Angelo and Dante, he saw the black dots on his arms spreading upward at a terrifying speed.
It soon passed the elbow part.
But just when those black spots were about to cross their shoulders, they seemed to have encountered an unknown obstacle. Then, amid everyone's surprised looks, the black spots instantly disappeared at a very terrifying speed.
Beja, who was watching all this, smiled with satisfaction, then shook the cup in her hand, then put it into the backpack that Angelo was carrying when he came down, and then handed it into Dante's hand.
Entrusted:
"If possible, it would be best to destroy it in the demon world. This is the limit that those people could do back then, but this is the so-called limit... Haha!"
Having said this, Beya sneered and added:
"If they encounter a madman who wants to destroy the world, they can just throw the cup on the ground, and the liquid in it will dissipate in an instant, and then spread through the air to the whole world. By then..."
Before he finished speaking, he shook his head. Dante, who knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and then put his backpack behind him:
"Don't worry, I know what to do!"
After this episode, the expressions of several people were obviously a little excited. Why...
Standing in front of a lot of jewelry inlaid with crystals, gemstones, gold and silver, you will also be excited.
"Look, is this ring pretty?"
Leti put on a ring set with sapphires, and then waved to Dante
"Yeah! The ring is indeed quite beautiful!"
"Look, I knew it!"
"Come on! He's just saying the ring is beautiful!"
"What do you mean!"
"It's not interesting! Come on, Dante, do you look good with these earrings on me?"
"Ah~, the earrings are indeed pretty!"
"What do you mean, are you saying that I'm not beautiful again? You guy..."
Looking at the three people who were "angry" because of a bit of jewelry, Angelo suddenly understood why his uncle had not gotten married yet...
Of course, Beiya, who was looking for something at the side, also raised his head and glanced there, smiled meaningfully, then swept aside the pile of jewelry in front of him, and then clasped his fingers on the table in front of him...
With the sound of the mechanism turning, everyone quickly turned their heads and saw Beiya holding a long box protruding from the table in her right hand.
Then, with everyone's puzzled eyes, Beiya suddenly waved to Ji Liye, who put down the agate earrings in her hands and came to Beiya with a questioning look on her face.
"Ms. Beja? What's the matter?"
The decent greeting made Beiya nodded. The latter held Ji Liye's wrist, took out an "entangled body" with a necklace, bracelet, and earrings from the long box protruding from the table, and finally used
The tone of reminder says:
"It might hurt a little!"
After saying that, before Ji Liye could react, Beja's nails instantly scratched Ji Liye's fingers. After the latter stopped the "reckless" Nero, he suddenly remembered something and breathed a sigh of relief...
"Okay! Nero, take it and channel your magic power in. Remember, be careful!"
As he spoke, he handed the "jewellery entangled body" in his hand to Nero, who quickly caught it and looked at it carefully.
I saw complex magical inscriptions carved on the uncovered areas. I had seen some of the inscriptions in the church's notes about demons. Although I didn't understand the rest...
Complex thoughts flashed through his mind, and then Nero slowly poured magic power into the string of "jewellery entanglements" in his hand.
As the power increased, a dark blue light began to appear above it, just like the looming starry sky in the evening. I don't know why, seeing this strange scene, Nero suddenly thought of this word in his mind,
Then, after the power reached saturation, amidst the exclamations of several people, the tangled string of jewelry suddenly floated in the air in Nero's left hand, and the faint blue color like the starry sky shone in the air.
Shine brightly.
At the moment when the light appeared to the extreme, so that several people had to cover their eyes, the dazzling light suddenly restrained, and they saw, in the dark blue brilliance, on a necklace made of silver, a
A walnut-sized crystal is emitting bright brilliance
Then there was a ring inlaid with purple agate crystal, and a pair of amethyst rings, going back and forth among a pair of platinum bracelets engraved with unknown inscriptions.
It’s okay, these jewelry have their own thoughts!
This thought suddenly flashed through Angelo's mind at this moment.
Why? Because after these jewelry circled around a few people, in the reluctant eyes of Letty and Tracy, they suddenly flew to Ji Liye, in her puzzled eyes, and in Beiya's approval.
In her eyes, Ji Liye stretched out her scratched hand in front of the jewelry in mid-air...
"Wow! This...is really such a big life. It's the first time I've seen it!"
Angelo looked at Ji Liye who "put on" the earrings, necklace and bracelet, and couldn't help but admired.
Nero bent down and picked up the old necklace that had been "squeezed off" from the ground, and then handed it back to the scratched hand that Ji Liye stretched out.
At this moment, Nero keenly discovered that the hand that had just been scratched by his mother suddenly healed. It was miraculous. He couldn't help but turn his head, showing a puzzled face.
"You can understand "it" as a magical device. The name is very nice, under the night - Brilliant Galaxy. As for the origin of this thing, you don't need to know. You only need to know that Ji Liye is wearing these pieces of jewelry now.
, enough to withstand more than three full blows from the lord level, let alone those below the lord level, so I think you should have understood..."
Then, he turned right to Angelo who was about to say something:
"Don't think I'm partial. If you have a girlfriend in the future, I can make one for you!"......
At this point, it is actually very clear that there are no words of thanks and no words of thanks are needed. After all, she is my mother!
However, it is not Nero's style to say nothing thanks, and now, the only thing Nero can do is to bury this feeling deep in his heart...
Then they left the room and returned to the hall on the second underground floor. Under Beiya's leadership, several people went to the place where the weapons were stored on the other side. This time, they didn't need her to remind them. They all understood that the weapons outside were not safe.
What a good thing.
Maybe there are still some weak powers, but they are no longer worthy of their attention.
Just like the process just now, in an inconspicuous corner, after opening the door, you will see rows of weapon platforms half a meter high and one meter in diameter.
"Wow! The space is filled with incredible magic!"
Feeling the same magical power as the previous Gate of Hell, Dante couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he walked to a high platform and looked at a sheathed two-handed sword in front of him. Although the shape of the hilt looked familiar, Dante slowly pulled out the two-handed sword out of unknown and curiosity.
Big sword......
At the moment when the ice-blue sword blade wanted to connect with the air, the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point, and you could almost see the "white mist" exhaled by Ji Liye and Letty.
He wanted to interrupt Dante's movements, but he thought that Ji Liye was nearby. Although it didn't seem to have any bad effects due to the drop in temperature, Nero still took off his brand new white coat and put it on.
It’s on Ji Liye’s body
"Huh...huh..."
After taking two deep breaths and feeling the relief brought by the cold breath in the air entering his lungs, Dante closed the scabbard with hesitation, and then asked doubtfully:
"What's the origin of this sword? It's really easy to use. If you have this, at least you don't have to rely on air conditioning in the summer, which consumes a lot of electricity."
As he spoke, he walked up to a giant ax full of cracks and was so curious that he touched the cracks on it...
"That is the ice blade sword, made from the body and claws of the ice blade. Before 1800, in order to fight the devil more efficiently, a magister and several alchemists developed a weapon that could make the devil's corpse become invisible.
A magic that will disappear~..."
Having said this, Beja walked inside, stood in front of a wand and touched it, then shook her head and continued:
"You know, after the demon hunters kill some high-level demons, their bodies will not stay in the world for long, and they will even disappear directly, well..."
"It can't be said to have dissipated, because after some demons die, their bodies dissipate and their souls return directly to hell. Therefore, humans at that time developed a spell that could preserve the bodies and even souls of demons, and then
Dismember it and make it into various weapons, armor, knives, etc..."
After saying that, Beja held a strange-shaped wand. There were densely packed faces engraved on the wand, but at a glance, it was clear that those faces were not human...
Since it's not owned by humans, then who does? Obviously, the answer is already there - the devil
"What you have in your hand is a flaming battle axe. I heard my grandfather say that it was cast when his great-grandfather was still alive. It seems that many people died at that time..."
As he spoke, he touched the wand in his hand and took out a gem from the mouth of a demon with three horns on his face...
"It seems a little familiar? Heh~...I didn't remember..."
Taking the gem necklace handed over, feeling the strong fluctuations of magic power inside, a name of a person he wanted to contact suddenly popped into Dante's mind. But just when he was about to catch the name, his mind suddenly changed.
A huge pile of strawberry sundaes...
Seeing that Dante really couldn't remember it, Beja sighed softly, and then spoke:
"This necklace and this wand are the relics left by Lowell, the great mage who claims to be able to control all the demons in the devil world - Alan Lohr.
, when I first saw Patty, especially during the chat with her, I also mistook some of what came out of her mouth..."
Listening to Beja's introduction, Dante finally heard the origin of this necklace... "For details, please watch Devil May Cry TV"
Needless to say the specifics, in short, after meeting the little girl named Patty again, the subsequent series of experiences were more or less related to her, especially in the end...
"so what?……"
"So I want to ask you to hand these things back, of course..."
Perhaps seeing Dante's expression of wanting to refuse, Beja stretched out his hand to stop him, and then said with emotion:
"Maybe you want that little girl to live a peaceful life, but have you ever thought about it, with people like us, some things are destined to be unavoidable..."
Having said this, Beja shook her head, then handed the wand and necklace into Dante's hands, and said in a sincere tone:
"At least, before you get the answer from that little girl, you have no right to stop others from pursuing power, and you have no right to refuse on behalf of others. Everyone has the possibility of wanting to become stronger. I think you'd better not take it with you.
The so-called prejudice!"
Until the last two words were spoken, I already understood the determination of my dear sister-in-law, and even more understood the last two words she almost said through clenched teeth, and then nodded heavily.
Seeing Dante agree, Beja pointed to a pair of double blades hanging on the high wall on the right, and then motioned to Dante to take them off.
The double blades in his hands looked familiar. Dante, who had already got the answer, did not think carefully this time. Instead, he frowned and looked at the end of the handle of the knife in his hand.
After discovering two beautifully carved wings, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and then asked:
"What is the origin of this pair of knives? Did you give them to me? Well, among all the man-made magic weapons I have seen, this pair of knives definitely ranks high. Although it looks like a woman's weapon, I plan to...
…”
Halfway through, seeing that Dante planned to take it as his own, Beja quickly waved his hand and introduced:
"This double-edged weapon was my grandmother's weapon. Of course, she stole it from her hometown. She didn't return it and kept using it until she was dying. My grandmother suddenly remembered and told us to use it.
Send it back to the original place, but I don’t know the direction of Dumalet, so..."
Well, Dante, who knew the significance of these weapons, looked at the double blades in his hands again. Suddenly, he felt unsatisfied, and his face looked a little depressed, but that was all.
Afterwards, after staying here for a while, Beja took out several rings, a wand, a cloak, a samurai sword, a strange-shaped bamboo stick, and two
A pair of guns with a strong sense of technology
Then he picked up the ice blade sword that Dante had found for the first time. Looking at the dazzling equipment in front of him, Beja sighed and then started to distribute...
In addition to the cloak, the wand, and the two magic swords disappeared from Beja's hands, two rings, one red and one black, were handed over to Tracy. She had no intention of getting them at first, but after hearing that they could change the nature of magic, she immediately wore them.
Go up, one in each hand...
Then came the two firearms with a strong sense of technology.
"Is this for me? But it seems that these two guns need to be injected with magic power before they can be used, and the age of these two guns..."
Looking at the two high-tech firearms in her hands, Letty asked suspiciously.
"If I said this was a firearm from 1,500 years ago, you would not believe it, but it is indeed a group of invaders who came here from other latitudes in recorded history."
"It cannot be said to be invaders. They are loyal to a "god" from an outer latitude. They shout the Holy Anointed One, the Father of Light, the Son of God, the only true God throughout the ages, which is what you believe in now——
God"
Having said this, Beja laughed disdainfully, and after watching Angelo take the two guns from Letty's hand, Beja said:
"It was nothing at first, but their leader Metatron launched a plan called "Witch Hunting Operation" and designated members of other sects as heretics.
Of course, alien gods are alien gods after all, and we won this battle of faith in the end. Although the other party still left the so-called faith in the Western Hemisphere, under the interference of some individuals, the sect was completely divided, and even some individuals
The radicals went to their latitude and opened the gates of hell..."
After saying that, he smiled and shook his head. Realizing that he had diverted the topic, Beja quickly corrected him:
"And these two guns are trophies. As for the magic power..."
Having said this, Beja directed Angelo to go to the table outside near the entrance of the hall. After getting the scroll back, he waved it in front of a few people and introduced:
"This is a blood contract, Tracy, do you remember the question you asked me last night?"
Tracy nodded doubtfully,
"The power of demons is a power that humans cannot master at all, because the residents of the world of light cannot contain the power of the world of darkness. If you see someone manipulating magic and having the aura of demons on their body, then he has definitely already
Degenerated into a devil.”
After saying that, he spread out the scroll in his hand and asked a few people to come over. Beiya pointed to a very complicated symbol on the scroll and explained:
"Look here, this is the ether rune. More than two thousand years ago, or even three or four thousand years ago, part of the human world at that time was connected to the demon world.
And when the power of the devil came to the world and was discovered by humans at that time, with the spirit of curiosity and exploration, finally, under the analysis of the ancestor of the alchemist-Hermes, this power was discovered by him.
Named - Power of Ether"
"As the name suggests, it is a general term that combines occult science, elemental science, magic, alchemy, and witchcraft disciplines.
This is a power that can be directly controlled by humans. People mobilize the power of ether in space through meditation, meditation, and even chanting mantras. However, some scholars later discovered that some humans cannot master this power at all.
So a long research process began again.”
Having said this, Beja unfolded the scroll completely, then looked at Leti and Jilie, pointed at Dante, and then added:
"They can operate the power of demons because in the DNA sequence, between the xy chromosomes, there is another high-dimensional, imperceptible chromosome. Although more people name it bloodline, the more accurate name is
It should be - the devil factor."
After Beja finished speaking in one breath, the expressions on several people's faces were a bit strange, especially Nero, who glanced at his arms, then raised his handsome face, and a look of confusion flashed across his face.
The expression of thinking
Seeing this, Beya sneered, and then continued:
"Among humans, especially my family and the first generation of ancestors who received the help and power of Sparta like my family, from that moment on, their chromosomes changed, as I said before
Just like that, there is also a factor between chromosome xx and chromosome xy, which is much lower than that of half-demon like them, and that factor is named by us-the ether factor!"
Seeing Bea's eyes staring straight at her, Letty already had the answer in her heart.
Yes, his mother was a witch. A man once sacrificed her, and then used his pure witch blood as the final key to open a giant tower.
And... an ordinary person wouldn't be able to survive an injury like that. Although he exercises regularly, his physique is much beyond that of ordinary people. It's not that he can't notice it.
Although sometimes I doubt it, but when I see the two guys around me, they are so strong that they don’t look like human beings... Hey, it seems like they are not human at all...
"It's okay. Although you will definitely become a demon with bad intentions, I believe you, Letty, and I can see that you actually envy them for being able to attach magic power to bullets.
What's more, more strength means more hope for others to survive. Isn't that what we do?"
While giving guidance and watching the reactions of several others, Beiya cheered up again:
"As far as my family is concerned, there are many outstanding knights brought up by my father and my brother, and they have all been exposed to these to some extent..."
Looking at the obviously suspicious eyes of several people, Beya raised her eyebrows, and then asked in a high tone:
"Don't you think you have really destroyed the Demonic Sword Order? Well, even if there are twice as many, you won't be able to survive a few attacks, but~"
"I can tell you responsibly that what you have destroyed are only Sandonis' cronies, including the last old pope as the core, Red Archbishop Keltel, Arch Knight Pan,
As well as my brother's comrade-in-arms, Knight Commander Jeroff were all sent out by this old guy Sandonis, either to take control of one side, or to be excluded intentionally or unintentionally. You wouldn't think that this is all the heritage of more than two thousand years...
…”
After saying that, looking at Letty who was a little moved, Beja continued to persuade her.
But the previous words were heard by Angelo. He glanced at Nero and Jilie who were trying to remember, and then at Dante and the already lost Dante who looked indifferent.
Hobbies, Tracey wandering around,
Angelo thought about everything he had come to this manor in his mind...
His mother has never told him this. Although she has never worried about money since she was a child, Angelo is very puzzled by the experiences of the past few days and the fact that her mother looks like a different person.
Sometimes I feel that I already know my mother, but the other side that occasionally shows up is like I have never known her before.
Then he glanced at Nero who was reminiscing with Ji Liye. Regarding this stupid brother~~ Yes, stupid, it’s like a movie without logic. He is the main hero in it, as long as no harm is done
My girlfriend, then her IQ is equal to a negative number.
Fighting relies on recklessness, facing conspiracies relies on collision, so that even though he is very powerful, he is being manipulated by an old man who can crush him to death with one hand...
This was Angelo's inner evaluation of Nero. Looking at his stupid brother, Angelo sighed, then interrupted Beja who was talking to Letty, and asked in a low tone:
"Mother!"
"What's wrong?"
Beja did not show any dissatisfaction when the conversation was interrupted, and Angelo could even see a trace of expectation on her face.
God, what on earth was she expecting?
Without thinking about this issue in detail, Angelo said intermittently:
"Mother... um... you just said... you just said it seems that your father and grandfather had many people, but they were squeezed out by that old man, right?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Nero raised his eyebrows, and then stopped Gillie's unfinished words, and Dante, who was facing away from everyone and holding a pair of blood-red boots in his hand, suddenly raised his head, his figure slightly
He trembled for a moment, then turned around and looked directly at Angelo.
Seeing the reactions of several people, especially Dante's indescribable look, Angelo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Angelo, who was a little frightened by Dante's eyes, turned to look at his mother who was lost in memories. She smoothed her long hair on her forehead, and then said slowly with a recalling look on her face:
"Well~, as of now, except for some wealthy businessmen who were protected by my grandfather, the last group of people he led are almost dead, except for the red archbishop Keltel who has been alive until now.
Outside, um~
Including my father's comrades-in-arms and the knights of the Order who are under my brother's command, if I were to urgently recall them now, I would be able to recall about a thousand of them within a day. If there is no time limit and we exclude those guys with low combat effectiveness,
There are probably more than 6,000 people who can form effective combat effectiveness, and that’s about it, what’s wrong?”
After saying that, looking at the eldest son who was meditating in front of him, Beja's inner voice seemed to penetrate his consciousness, penetrate his body, and resound throughout the room.
Ask, child, be bold and ask! I will tell you everything...
"Boy, some things are best not asked. Trust me, a..."
Sure enough, as expected, after stopping Dante's instructive words, Angelo struggled for a while and asked Beja's expectations:
"Since...since you can directly recall so many people, and there are so many magic tools that can be used here, then...then why do you have to leave everything here, leave Nero behind, and go to the place where you don't know tomorrow?
Can we survive the wandering life? If there were them, we would never..."
Having said this, Angelo did not say anything more, but took a deep breath, while Dante sighed imperceptibly. At this time, Nero also reacted, with doubts and puzzled eyes in his eyes,
Look at Beja.
At this time, there was only endless silence in the room. Over the years, the three Dantes who had experienced some things, even if they did not explain some things, they all tacitly pretended not to have seen it, but...
After a long while, amid a burst of relieved laughter, Beja broke the silence and then asked:
"Hahahaha! My child, I thought you would never ask, but I really look forward to you asking. At least, this means that you - you yourself have taken a step forward,"
After saying these meaningful words, a flash of memory flashed in Beiya's eyes, and then she snapped her fingers. Along with unstable space ripples, Mo Qi suddenly appeared here with a file bag in his mouth.
After taking the file bag, Beja untied the rope and said slowly:
"Once upon a time, after meeting your father, or even until I knew his identity as the son of Sparta, the first thing I did was to send people to cover up all traces of his coming here, at least, while he stayed here.
, no one knows his identity and purpose
I am not doing this to protect him, but to protect those stupid believers. If for some reason, those stupid church members stand in front of him, it will be a very terrible thing for the church and the residents here.
matter"
After saying that, Beiya took out a plate of files and put it on the table. Then she went to the corner of the room and took two strange-shaped stones. She looked at the magic stones in her hands and continued:
"Then, after you were born, I also concealed the news. This time, it was to protect myself, not just for Nero and you. After all, my mental state was very unstable at the time, and I even had a mental disorder.
The idea of all residents in Duna offering sacrifices
Because in this way we can gain powerful power, and we don’t have to be afraid of the demons that exist in the shadows,"
At this point, Beiya shook her head with a wry smile, and then continued:
"But, I didn't do it, because of my grandfather's teachings, no one can decide who lives or dies, so after everything was fully prepared, I put Nero in the orphanage, and then took you on an unknown journey."
Having said this, Beja picked up one of the smaller magic stones and put it in Angelo's left hand. Then she picked up another larger one and put it in her right hand and held it tightly.
Under the puzzled gazes of several people, Beiya activated her magic power, and saw a translucent chain suddenly appearing on the wrists of their left and right hands, with complex inscriptions engraved on it, where there was nothing.
Seeing all this, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of several people. Several people quickly moved over to take a look. Before they could clearly see the magic runes engraved on the shackles, they saw that the shackles on the wrists of the mother and son suddenly
disappeared, and the chain immediately fell to the ground,
Several people could vaguely see that the chain and the magic stone seemed to have some intermittent connections...
"I originally thought I was prepared, but reality is often illogical. I underestimated my own strength, my own mind, the horror of human nature and the demon's desire to kill the Spartans, so,"
Having said this, Beiya smiled miserably,
"So, when I was in the most difficult time, my second uncle found me. It was just like the so-called struggle for power among big families in novels. I originally thought that this situation would not happen in my family. I was even thinking at the time - what if
It affected my dear second uncle, and eventually led to the destruction of his family.
However, everything changed until the moment he discovered the demonic power in you. I remember there seemed to be rumors at the time, which family did it come from? The boss inherited the family wealth, then opened a shipyard, and then followed a
Demons fell in love and gave birth to a little girl,
Before knowing the identity of the girl, her biological uncle doted on her very much, but after knowing her identity as a half-demon, he teamed up with outsiders to kill her, saying that he had tarnished the family's honor and so on.
But, in my opinion, they are all mentally ill. If we guide them properly, there will be another strong person in our human camp in the future, alas..."
"Originally, I would treat everything as a joke, but if the so-called joke appears on you..."
Having said this, Beiya pointed at the two brothers with a serious face, and then said in a deep voice:
"My poor second uncle, while he was talking, that was the child of the devil, this kind of power should not exist, and at the same time he contacted someone, it seemed to be a company called Viper, asking about transferring the power of the devil.
facilities, then I heard,
He never imagined that with the power of these soul shackles, your eyes, I could see all his schedule and plans in the past few days.
And what he least expected was that just at night when he had this idea, I had already done everything, and then five members of his family, including more than a dozen servants, were all killed in the flames..."
Speaking of this, her face was calm, her eyes seemed to travel through time and space, and when she saw the past, what was reflected in her eyes was a villa with a raging gas fire...
"So, if I can't even trust my uncle, who can I trust?"
After finishing speaking, he finally gave a wry smile and then added:
"Even in the end, when you are walking on the street, even if people compliment you on how cute you are, I feel like they have ulterior motives.
Moreover, if it weren’t for you having grown up, if it weren’t for the fact that things had to be done, I wouldn’t have believed your uncle.
You two are right. I did doubt him. Of course, at least now, the so-called doubt or belief is no longer important.
You have grown up, and what I need to do now is to become stronger. When you need me, at least I won’t just watch you because I am not strong enough..."
After saying this, there was a long silence. Yes, who would blame her? Who would blame a mother, even if she is not that great...
