Chapter 784 The child who knocked down the sandcastle
"Haha, I've heard of you, Odvar!"
The Hong Xiang smiled, pushed Valentine VIII away from his lap, then grabbed Louise who was behind him and made her crawl on the table.
In the unabashed screams of Queen Louise, now the Queen Mother, he loudly said: "I have heard about your feats as a teenager before - to be honest, even I will be proud of your courage.
And be amazed!”
——That is not a feat. It cannot be called courage at all.
Professor Laxmi just thought indifferently in his heart.
"...Feat?"
Valentin VIII pulled up his trousers and asked his adopted father out of curiosity.
He had long been accustomed to this depraved and sinful "love", and the slight discomfort now was just because the presence of Professor Laxmi, a stranger with a straight face, ruined the atmosphere.
"Yes," Red Prime Minister Peng Bonazi said loudly with great interest, "This one - she was found dead back then, and it was his dead sister! At that time, the news spread directly throughout the entire town where he was...
Even in the eyes of those who are extraordinary in our path of love, this is a ridiculous and crazy act!"
Professor Laxmi lowered his head even further.
Hong Xiang is right, this does happen. And it is no exaggeration.
This was the reason why he took the twilight path and became such a cold character... and it was also the original motivation for him to invent the "noose", a magic potion specially used to preserve corpses.
He has had this special preference since he was a child. Until his sister died of a heart attack, and when he returned to the country from the city to hold a vigil before her funeral, he couldn't help himself and chose to desecrate the body.
This incident happened to be witnessed by my second uncle who came out to use the toilet at night.
This matter itself is not illegal in Star Antimony, because necromancers can create undead with similar functions. However, this still seems too avant-garde for ordinary people - especially, corpses and undead are completely different
concept.
Once such a thing is discovered, he will become a "celebrity" in the township and a source of conversation even in Xingzhi, where necromancy is quite popular. From then on, his "rumors" will always be with him.
.This made it impossible for him to study normally in middle school and college.
Even after he transferred to the Ziggurat, all his classmates and mentors knew about this matter at some point.
Some of these people are disgusting and malicious. They cannot understand Laxmi's behavior, and even feel afraid and disgusted - but Laxmi's attitude towards these people is quite friendly.
Because they are constantly reminding Laxmi that he is actually "wrong".
On the contrary, those who had some goodwill toward him...or, in other words, those who approached him with "self-perceived goodwill" would always mention this matter again and again, trying to express a "I don't care what you have"
This kind of "past" attitude kept mentioning past topics that made Professor Laxmi silent and even wanted to forget.
Even if Rashmi made it clear that he did not want to mention these things, many people always thought it was because he was "shy" and "confessed", but instead he was "joking" more and more frequently.
After all, in the chaotic and absurd Star Antimony, in this country where many places are dedicated to the host of banquets, there are many people who have stronger desires and have more fun than him.
But no one can truly understand the essence of Rashmi. They just think that Rashmi is too eager, and even try to take him to play at Moonchild's place; there are also people with malicious intentions or simply doing business.
I deliberately came to ask him if he wanted to buy some "beautiful corpses".
Laxmi is not the kind of person who can get angry. He doesn't think he is right, and he doesn't want to get into trouble for this kind of thing... But at the same time, he feels inferior and guilty because of his specialness. So he can only
Choose silence, refuse all social interactions, and isolate yourself from the crowd.
Fortunately, it was a ziggurat, so people's interest in others was fleeting. He soon got the peace he wanted, and devoted all his love and obsession to the study of necromancy.
It is precisely because of this that he, who was born in a village, has the opportunity to step into the fourth level.
As a transcendent on the twilight path, he must choose a "sub-career" before he can step into the fourth level - usually, a transcendent on the twilight path will choose one of the paths of beauty or devotion, thus
Change job to Amber Artisan or Ghoul Herder.
These two professions are the most popular choices, accounting for more than 90% of the professions promoted on the Dusk Road. Apart from these, they all belong to niche professions.
Professor Laxmi’s profession is called Underworld Walker.
It is a profession that was promoted after being combined with a curse mage who transcended the path!
From this advanced profession, Professor Laxmi gained the ability to communicate with the dead.
He can travel to and from the underworld through dreams——
——The so-called underworld is the "place where people should go after death" according to some folk legends.
In fact, "underworld" has another precise definition in the dream world...that is, "the preparation area of the river of the dream world".
It sounds like a twilight road, and it is.
But because amber does not directly manage anything, this area is managed cross-border by Sand Time. When people are buried, their souls will be sent here; and seven days after death, the soul will be sent here.
Plunge into the river of dreams.
Those Death Gods sealed by Sand Time will patrol vigilantly to stop any souls who try to escape into the dream world before the seven-day period comes, or try to capture the souls that have escaped.
In other words, if the deceased wants to become an independent phantom demon in the dream world without relying on any pillar god or Tiansi, or even be promoted to a Tiansi, he must first leave the hands of these gods of death - they are considered apostles of Amber in terms of power.
But in fact, it was Sand Clock that promoted them with the power of amber, so they are also apostles of balance.
Of course, it is taboo to resurrect the dead, which is equivalent to snatching food from the mouths of Pillar God and Tiansi. Even if it is an ordinary soul that no one cares about, if you try to resurrect it, you may incur the hostility of Sand Time for breaking the rules.
.
However, Underworld Walker has a unique benefit.
As the saying goes, "A person's words are good when he is about to die." No matter how crazy a person is when he is alive, his last words will always have some human words; not to mention that the person is completely dead and the soul is about to be rebuilt... Not everyone
To be chosen as an apostle, for most souls, the underworld is the last stop in life.
Once here, everyone can understand their future.
For those confused souls, it will be very satisfying to chat with others again... those secrets that have been kept until death and have not been told to anyone will also be unable to help but tell them.
Professor Laxmi can easily get many ulterior secrets from the mouths of these dead people.
His posture, as decadent as a corpse and full of yin energy, is proof that he had too much contact with the dead during his dreams and that his soul was corroded by negative energy. It is precisely because he has so many secrets that the Rosicrucian Society formed
Accept Professor Laxmi who is only at the second level on the path to transcendence and has not even signed a contract with the devil.
The ability to communicate with the dead is so coveted... and among a hundred Twilight Path extraordinary beings, there probably won't be one with the ability to transcend the path.
And among the extraordinary beings who can reach the fourth energy level on the Dusk Path, he is the only one - that is to say, Professor Laxmi is now the only underworld traveler in the entire planet.
Nowadays, even Hong Xiang, who acts recklessly, seems to have a very good attitude towards this rare talent.
Therefore, he was not a member of the military at all, but he was directly decorated as a major; as the lover of the Moon Son, Blood Coral would tell him many secrets involving the fifth or even sixth level to please him, trying to please him.
Use her body to control him... and when she realized that she might not be able to do this, she wanted to make a plan to hold his handle.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Peng Bonaqi said with a smile: "Is there anything you must report to me in person? I hope it is good news."
"That's good news."
Professor Rashmi said with great certainty: "The 'Ms. Bayard' you are looking for is in Leipzig now."
"oh?"
Hong Xiang opened his eyes, with obvious joy in his eyes: "Did you ask this...or did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Professor Laxmi said categorically: "She wore the 'Light of Herasl' numbered 002 and boarded the ship from the Theocracy to Star Antimony. She easily defeated a 'Sea Bride' and sealed it in
in a tarot card.
"Besides me, many people know that it was 'Miss Aleister who saved them'. And the false identity of Aleister Crowley belongs to Vignes Emile Left
La Bayard. She should be living in Prince Szijjarto's mansion now... I think the previous Count Daun was killed by her."
"Very good……"
Peng Bonaqi sighed, showing a quiet and satisfied smile: "Finally I can see you again...an old friend from the past. I don't know if she still remembers Bashir. We met before. It was my first time."
I took Bashir to Arc Moon Manor once, and it was also the last time I saw Baroness Bayard... The Bayard Group was very famous when the empire still existed..."
Like a nostalgic old man, he kept talking about the past that he had repeated many times, becoming more and more excited, and Louise's screams became louder and louder.
But suddenly, his expression darkened, and his movements suddenly stopped. Then he pushed Louise away.
"——Blood Diamond."
Peng Bonaqi stepped forward and said slowly: "Why don't you know about this?"
"Sir, the secret room has indeed received information about Aleister's brief appearance in Leipzig, but the matter is of great importance. We want to check it first..."
Huge pressure hit him, and Xue Diamond's forehead was covered with sweat.
"What's the result?"
Pomponazzi asked rhetorically.
"Still checking...but the results should be similar."
Blood Diamond said bravely and in a low voice.
"oh……"
Peng Bonaqi suddenly realized: "It means, you know. But you didn't tell me."
——If I tell you directly, but it is later found to be false information, the trouble will be even greater!
Blood Diamond cursed.
But she knew she couldn't explain to the unreasonable Hong Xiang, so she could only glare at Professor Laxmi, and then admitted her mistake and said: "It was my fault in my work..."
Before she finished speaking, a heartbreaking pain suddenly came.
Blood Diamond covered her chest and abdomen, screaming and retreating repeatedly - she had just suffered a "heartbreak" in the physical sense.
"——You still want to take action against Odvar?"
Peng Bo said with sadness: "He brought me the news I wanted... He is my friend. Do you mean to usurp the throne by attacking my friend?"
Blood Diamond was covered in cold sweat and couldn't say a word.
Pomponazi turned to Professor Laxmi with a warm smile on his face: "Thank you very much, Odvar. If you want any reward, just tell Blood Coral directly... I can't wait to go with you.
Reminiscing about old friends."
"Father……"
Valentin VIII suddenly opened his eyes wide and felt strong uneasiness: "If you leave, I might..."
——Maybe he will be assassinated.
After all, everyone knows that he is the puppet of the Red Prime Minister. But maybe there are fools who think that the Red Prime Minister needs him to maintain his rule...
"That just transforms into a child of the moon, doesn't it?"
Peng Bo Naqi patted Lucien's head happily, not caring about the safety of this puppet king.
"How about asking Brother Leipzig to bring the person back?"
Queen Louise, who quickly packed her clothes, came up with an idea.
"No, no, no, no...that's not reliable."
The Hong Prime Minister objected: "What if he accidentally angers someone? That guy is not that reliable at work... I have to go there myself.
"As for Lion Heart City, leave it to - forget it, it doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want. I'm going now."
He didn't care about power anyway.
Professor Laxmi added: "I speculate that Ms. Bayard's trip to Star Antimony may be related to the 'Ring of the Ending Ceremony' and the 'Perfect Man'."
When Peng Bonaqi heard this, he was even more excited: "Great! Every news you bring is my favorite! I love you, my friend! Ever since I saw you, it has been all good news.
!”
He didn't actually want to see Bayard that much, at least not to this extent.
It was not just nostalgia...but also confusion that no one wanted to tell me.
——In this era, no one can understand him.
No one is qualified to try to understand him.
After the death of his former best friend, the country has gradually deviated from its previous direction.
This made him less and less interested in Star Antimony. He even grew to hate him out of love.
So he personally destroyed the inheritance of Star Antimony, and planned to personally cut off the bloodline of his former best friend... He originally thought that he would be free, like a child who overthrows the sandcastle that he had carefully built for a long time, and happily play the next game.
But there was only an emptiness called "meaninglessness" in his heart. It was as if he had finally finished reading a book he had read for a long time. The ending was clearly coming, but he was not happy.
And Bayard may be able to answer his doubts!
How did she maintain her "spiritual activity" after so many years?
Pomponazzi didn't intend to wait for the train - he transformed into a blood bat and sped away at high speed towards Leipzig!
Although his speed is not very fast, his advantage is that he can walk in a straight line.
In less than half a day, Pomponazzi will arrive in Leipzig in person!
