Chapter 779 The arrogance and despicability of the past
For a moment, Christina felt happy——
I wonder, is it so fun to be a big shot’s chess piece?
Even the "future star of Star Antimony" Albert Lorey had to bow to himself!
...Although in fact he must be saluting Alice. But it still feels so good!
But at this moment, her body was moving on its own.
"Ah, yes. I have an impression of you..."
"Christina" suddenly understood, nodded and said bluntly: "You are the girl who was chosen to sleep with you, but because you are so good at chatting, you were bought without a chance to get fucked."
……What?
Christina felt as if she heard Dagua, and she and Aurora quietly opened their ears and listened.
"Yes, you must be the spirit body following Miss Aleister," Albert said without any shame. He even raised his chest and raised his head proudly. "The person I was chatting with at that time was the greatest person in the world. The Alchemist, Bashir Valentine!
"I really want to spend more time with him...but the ceremony ended too early. If possible, I even want to spend a hundred years in that ceremony! From the discussion Alchemy, then witnessing the 'Earth-Splitting War', then the founding of the Star Antimony Kingdom, and then personally seeing off the death of that great man... Compared to that kind of miracle, even becoming a girl or a blood slave is completely insignificant!"
"...I heard you say that."
Aurora suddenly realized: "But you didn't tell me that you met Valentine I as a girl..."
"This is normal," Albert shook his head. "If I hadn't been on that occasion and had that status, how could I, who was not even at the fourth level at the time, have the opportunity to come into contact with that adult... "
And Christina gradually understood.
Miss Aleister seemed to have met Count Leipzig and Albert at the same promotion ceremony.
Obviously, not to mention Albert... even the great Count of Leipzig was at a disadvantage. Otherwise, Alice would not have called the Count of Leipzig by his code name in such a casual tone.
Although she knew that Miss Aleister had defeated Earl Dawn and resurrected herself from the dead, Christina still didn't quite understand how strong she was. After all, she had a very powerful bodyguard with her at the time. Well. This kind of spellcaster who can resurrect from the dead is also a noble lady. It is normal for her to have a guard with a stronger combat power than her.
Otherwise, why would we still need to protect him?
But now that she has Count Leipzig and Mr. Albert, she finally has a concrete understanding of Aleister's strength.
Having captured her thoughts, Alice was a little surprised: "Wait a minute, don't you know who my master is?"
【...What? Should I know?】
Christina responded with some confusion.
"I thought, based on your social experience in school, you must have heard of this name...it turns out you didn't know it from the beginning."
Alice sighed and said to the two men: "My host doesn't seem to know the identity of her benefactor. What I said may be biased... Please help me explain."
After saying that, she sneaked back into Christina's heart.
And Christina's consciousness rose again and she regained control of her body.
"...Where to start?"
Albert hesitated for a moment, looked at each other with Aurora, and then decided to start from the beginning: "The first time I met Miss Aleister, she was with a gentleman who was adapted to the road, codenamed 'Gray'.
Together. She was only at the second level at that time and was able to completely control the power of Shadow Demon, which is said to be absolutely impossible. And Mr. Gray also has the ability to control shadows."
"...I may have already met that 'Mr. Gray', but Shadow Demon..."
Christina hesitated.
She knew that the demon that followed her mentor should be the "Night Demon", the black crow. But she had no knowledge of demons at all, so she didn't know if this was normal or not, and she didn't know if it could be said.
——Perhaps the Shadow Demon is the trump card, and the Night Demon is the demon that is usually summoned.
So she kept her mouth shut and decided not to reveal her mentor's privacy.
As for Mr. Gray, he should be the strong man next to her who has adapted to the path.
And Albert was still narrating: "Later, I learned a very terrifying thing...that Aleister was actually an ancient Son of the Moon from the Empire era."
"...Ah," Christina nodded, "Yes, she is a very powerful Moon Child."
This can always be said - after all, the Son of the Moon needs to suck blood, and those red eyes are so bright that it's hard to hide his identity.
"Her other identity is that she is the lover of the eternal Pope Aiwass."
Albert replied.
"……ah?"
Christina was a little confused: "The Eternal Pope? He is not from the Iron-Blooded Queen..."
"It is said that the positions between Aiwass and the Iron-Blooded Queen are conflicting," Albert shook his head, "and his real lover is Ms. Aleister. Originally Aiwass was limited by his identity, maybe
He couldn't refuse Queen Avalon's engagement...but now that he is the Pope, he must be able to do whatever he wants.
"——In other words, Ms. Aleister is the lover of the first eternal pope in history. This status is definitely higher than the queen of any country, even higher than Valentine VII."
"The seventh life passed away not long ago, and now he is the eighth life..."
Christina corrected in a low voice.
Albert looked at Christina and his voice gradually became louder: "I had the honor to participate in the same promotion ceremony with His Majesty the Pope. I witnessed that His Majesty the Pope turned into a light that was more blazing than the sun, and also
I learned that he was the recipient of the Twin Mirror... Even then, I knew he would become a great person..."
...It was only then that I finally understood what those experiments meant.
Albert said in his heart, falling into memories.
Before he could read, he had learned to distinguish corpses from living people; before he understood the geography of the planet, he had understood human structure. For him, necromancy was a sacred art. It
It is art and it is also truth.
To him, the blood and entrails were like the mud and beetles that other children played with; he stitched up the corpses, just like other children building sandcastles. To him, this was the best and most valuable thing in the world.
It's a fun game, and he's naturally good at it.
Like a talented star player!
But Albert was never proud.
Because when he was a teenager, he had been discussing necromancy with experts who could be his parents, even grandparents, and great-grandparents. He had lived in an environment where "I don't understand anything" since he was a child, hungry and thirsty
He collects all the knowledge he can get his hands on, and is eager for all the progress he can make.
He longs for recognition, and hopes that he will no longer be treated with good intentions as a "future genius" by people, but hopes that he can now participate in discussions as an equal to them——
As long as you get fame and recognition, that's what Albert thought.
In order to become famous and make people pay attention to himself, he did a lot of work. He continued to carry out "micro-innovation", further optimizing the previous technology in strange places, and then registered it as a patent as soon as possible and
Published in the newspaper, eager for those masters to seriously discuss with me - for example, whether the random lightning ability of the lightning zombies can be accurately positioned through antennas or imprints; or whether the earthbound spirits can use "small home"
"Portable, portable" processing to gain mobility...
But no one ever paid attention to him.
In Albert's most arrogant years, he even lied and deliberately copied other people's inventions.
When he was flipping through academic journals, he saw that a master of necromancy who had taught him claimed at an academic conference that he was creating a lizard-shaped undead "that can swallow dry land and discharge black sludge", and his brain was racing.
, through the idea of earthworms, a snake-shaped undead with the same function was constructed in a simpler way, and his patent was registered before the master's undead was registered.
At that time, the entire star antimony academic community was in turmoil - although the master came up with the idea first, it was Albert who registered the patent earlier.
Some people think that this is Albert plagiarizing the master's idea and publishing it first; others think that the invention of this thing cannot be completed in a day or two, so it is just two people who bumped up the idea; some even think that this is the master relying on his old skills and selling off his old skills.
Stealing Albert's ideas and using them for his own purposes...
At that time, Albert was overjoyed when he saw that he had become the talk of the town.
He deliberately did not refute the rumors, but allowed people to speculate, making the controversy intensify. He had even imagined in his mind that the master would compete with himself for patent rights, and then the two would become academic rivals, and finally wait until the master was about to die.
He took the initiative to repent, ended this grudge and became a lifelong friend, a tortuous story that has been praised by people ever since...
However, the master finally publicly stated that his invention was far inferior to Albert's - even if his invention was successfully implemented, it would be destined to be overtaken by Albert's invention due to its overly complicated production steps and instability.
Eliminated. Therefore, he highly praised Albert's invention and even privately sent him a handwritten experimental record to allow Albert to further optimize the project.
——The master simply ignored this dispute.
...At that time, it was the first time Albert felt regret.
He regretted it, for his arrogance and despicability.
At that time, Albert woke up from madness and felt the true meaning of the dusk road in a strong sense of emptiness.
From then on, he changed his ways, wrote a long letter to apologize to the master, and then quieted down to conduct research... until the invention of the "Armed Gargoyle" changed everything.
Different from last time, this time he became a big shot that was taken seriously by people entirely relying on his own ability!
Therefore, Albert used up all his energy and even stopped researching alchemy... At that time, he had already completed the fourth level of the Dusk Path and the second level of the Balanced Path and transferred to the "Disaster Splicer"
.
But because of his investment in researching the armed gargoyles, he neglected the progress of the road when his resources were full, and used all his energy to continuously attack the armed gargoyles, which to outsiders could not be seen with the naked eye.
He made more than 60 different versions of the formula for that layer of flesh and blood armor alone. And the specific optimal load-bearing plan-the balance of firearms, bullets and armor has gone through countless mathematics
calculate.
At the experimental site, he used various carefully crafted "airborne high-speed undead" that simulated griffin knights as targets, and constantly let various gargoyles attack them. Individuals, squads, collectives... after each round of attacks
He carefully collected data, then resurrected these undead and gargoyles, optimized them, and experimented again.
By analyzing the lethality and penetration power, these undead are then repaired and resurrected, and then let them undergo the next round of testing.
In addition to this kind of high-speed undead, he also let armed gargoyles attack regular undead such as walking zombies and armored walking zombies to test their lethality against the army.
——It wasn't until he tested the lightning-struck zombie that he had optimized that he suddenly realized that the experimental data was not right.
These armed gargoyles seem to be afraid of thunder...
