As the past events were revealed one by one, Borak actually felt like pouring out his pain, venting all the frustration and depression he had felt in recent years.
Time passed by, and Borak's memories gradually came to an end. After venting, his mind became slightly clearer, and he seemed to have found the strength to move forward again.
The night was silent and profound, and Borak felt that his soul was drifting and merging with the deep darkness, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
"The contract is successfully concluded, and you will become a real knight when you wake up!" The voice of the "greedy" devil floated in Borak's ears, making him feel even more sleepy.
"The contract was successfully concluded? I'm going to become a knight!"
Borak finally let go of his worries and fell into a deep sleep, wrapped in a thick darkness.
…………
The cold wind of November blew by, and the secret guard outside the study shivered involuntarily, then woke up completely and heard a vague voice inside:
"The contract is successfully concluded. You will pay the price of ten years of life in exchange for the strength of a formal knight, and retain the possibility of advancing to a great knight."
Frederick, the fifth-level knight, nodded slightly. It seemed that Borak had not betrayed his soul or the family's core interests: "But why was I a little confused just now? Could it be that the magic ritual produced a strange power that confused my will?"
?”
Since there was no clock in the corridor and he "forgot" to look at his pocket watch, he thought that the previous confusion was only a brief ten seconds and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In many cases, similar reactions will occur when peeping into magic rituals. This is
Self-protection with mysterious supernatural powers.
His consciousness enveloped him, and he listened quietly to the powerful beating of "Borak's" heart inside. Frederick thought to himself in slight shock: "Is this the heartbeat of a knight? Borak has actually become an official knight?"
"Having just become a knight", Borak seemed to be unable to control his physical condition. He judged the "real" situation from various aspects such as heartbeat and breathing.
"Such a simple child's play and an inexplicable magic ritual can really be effective?"
Frederick couldn't believe this fact, but the current state of "Bolak" eloquently proved the power of the strange ritual. A little greed quietly surged in his heart, and he had been stuck in front of the Sky Knight's Pass for thirty years!
"If I can't find a way to break through again, I will try this magic ritual." Greed made his heart beat faster.
…………
In the study, Lucien looked at himself in the mirror under the dim candlelight. His handsome and steady black hair and black pupils had turned into sunny, handsome blond hair and blue eyes.
"The Plantagenet family is indeed a famous family of beauties." The blond-haired, blue-eyed Lucien shook his head with a smile, stretched out his hand to straighten his half-long hair. Buttoned the collar and sleeves, and the gloomy and gloomy "Bolak" immediately looked radiant.
Refreshed, it seems that I have returned to the vibrant and confident look I had five years ago.
Although the descriptions of the Plantagenet family in many widely circulated stories and poems are exaggerated, absurd, and full of fictitious elements, one thing is correct. The Plantagenet family is indeed owned by the "Sun King" Thanos.
Descendants of the bloodline, Thanos's palace is hidden under their ancient villa in Antiphore, which has been guarded by a golden knight for a long time.
This is the underground palace that Lucien wanted to sneak into, so he couldn't break through forcefully and had to find another way.
The Plantagenet family has a tradition. When the time is right, a dozen heir candidates will be thrown into this mysterious underground palace, where they will fight, cooperate and explore with each other. The winner who completes the requirements first will become
First in line of succession.
In the palace, except for the magic circle that will be activated when death is about to happen, there will be no golden knights or sky knights to intervene. Therefore, the battle is extremely fierce, with some fighting head-on, some behind the scenes, and some intrigues.
Cooperation and betrayal, coupled with the secrets and dangers of the palace, the winner of each generation is either strong or powerful, allowing the Plantagenet family to maintain a strong competitiveness for a long time in the blood.
In recent decades, this method of selecting heirs has been accidentally leaked, and nobles belonging to Plantagenet have also thrown their children into the underground palace. On the one hand, it is to train them, on the other hand, it is to establish a relationship with the heir in advance, and at the same time
, many bored children of other nobles will also participate, and the near-realistic bloody fights can make their dull and numb lives full of excitement!
This also allows "communication" to play a greater role than before.
After observation, Lucien selected Borak. He has strong psychological vulnerability and is the best to "abduct". Moreover, only the "bloodline" of the Plantagenet family can open the inner layer, and arrive at the "Tano" hidden in the palace.
The secret room of "Sky Orbiter".
If it weren't for the complicated methods and difficult spells to open the secret chamber, Lucien would have wanted Borak to initiate the magic ritual on his behalf, but now he had to do it himself.
After looking in the mirror to confirm that his every move was no different from Borak's, Lucien turned his head and looked at the secret room in the study that he had spent two days building. He smiled at the sleeping Borak inside and said, "When I have time,
, come here and transform your bloodline!"
There is only one way for people to maintain the possibility of becoming a great knight after advancing to a knight through external force, and that is to use the blood source of a high-level vampire to transform the bloodline in a similar way to "first embrace", which is what Lucien is now.
's physical condition.
In the beginning, the magician's inspiration for transforming his bloodline came from the vampire's "first embrace".
At that time, they discovered that a vampire only needs to inject the source of his own blood and carry out the first embrace, and he can develop a descendant with a formal knight level, and has unlimited growth possibilities - although it will be slower than the original owner of the source of blood.
There are many, but they can also gain power very "easily", so magicians came up with the crazy idea of using this method to transform humans with other bloodlines.
But later they discovered that without a strong will, they could never become a great knight through transformation alone. Even if they could transform their bodies to the level of a Sky Knight or even a Golden Knight, they would end up with the collapse and bursting of their blood.
As for whether Borac would be punished by the Plantagenet family and purified by the church after possessing the "vampire" bloodline, Lucien was not concerned about it. When the contract was made, it did not say which bloodlines could not be used.
In this regard, Lucien behaves no differently than a cunning devil.
And if Borak is careful, the chance of being discovered is very low, because the lineage of the Plantagenet family comes from the Sun King Thanos, and any bloodline related to the stars in the sky can be inspired, including "Sun", "Silver Moon",
The top ones such as "Stars" also have bloodlines of different constellations such as "Thanos" at the lower level. Among them, "Vampire" is similar to "Silver Moon", which is not a reason for being caught "sucking blood". Upon careful inspection, it is difficult to
distinguish.
After blowing out the candles, Lucien's eyes looked through the darkness with the faint moonlight, he pushed open the study door and walked towards the bedroom.
"The inspired 'Silver Moon' bloodline..." Frederick nodded gently in the dark.
After the transformation, just because you can't use the opponent's natural abilities doesn't mean you can't use your own, especially when Lucien's "Moonlight" bloodline blends very well with the Plantagenet family's bloodline!
From the beginning, Lucien's plan was this, and he was not worried that Borac would directly choose to become the Duke of Plantagenet or the Grand Knight.
Which result to choose often only depends on the setting of the option conditions!
…………
In Frederick's eyes, after spending a few days "adapting" to his bloodline abilities, Borak became active again.
A gorgeous carriage drove through the wide streets of Antiphore. The left side of the carriage was engraved with the heraldic pattern of "The Sun Shines on the Plantagenets".
The "well-informed" citizens of the Imperial City were scattered on both sides of the central main road, and together with their companions, they quietly guessed who the owner of the carriage was. Was it Alten, who was in the limelight recently, or the frustrated and pitiful Borak?
From the specifications of the carriage, they directly ruled out the possibility of Duke, Marquis and Earl, because this is the conservative and rigid Holy Herz Empire, and there will be no rudeness among nobles.
"Obviously it's the unlucky guy Borac. Baron Alten is a high knight. He has his own independent coat of arms." A citizen said matter-of-factly, with a friendly tone as if he was a member of the Plantagenet family. "Borac
If you haven't been able to activate your bloodline power for so many years, you are not as good as Riddle next door to me."
Another citizen shook his head and objected: "Baron Alten has full confidence in the title of Earl Tiris. He never uses his own independent coat of arms when going out. He only waits for the test to be over in a month and uses the golden eye coat of arms."
Earl Tiris is the title of the first heir of the Plantagenet family, just like the Violet Earl title of the Violet family. The core of the coat of arms is a golden eye.
However, the news that the Plantagenet family will undergo a test a month later actually came from an ordinary citizen, which really makes people sigh that the citizens of the Imperial City are well-informed.
After lowering the carriage curtains, Lucien withdrew his gaze, buttoned up the cuffs of his white shirt, and prepared to attend a banquet held by an earl's son.
"Isn't this Borak? I thought you were missing?" A clearly mocking voice came from the left side of the carriage. Lucien raised the curtains and saw a dark red carriage running parallel to him on the opposite side.
In the window, a slightly pale face looked at "Borac" with an excited smile, as if he wanted to see him become angry or depressed.
"Duda, I'm sorry to disappoint you." Lucien found the owner of this pale and swollen face from the character described by Borac, the son of Count Bolti, who was once Borac's dandy friend, and now Al
A loyal supporter of Teng.
Duda saw Lucien's calm smile and his pupils contracted slightly, as if he saw Borak when he was at his most energetic a few years ago. What happened to him these days?
"You actually came to Denis's banquet. Didn't you know that Alten will bring you Jocelyn with him tonight?" Duda hates the way "Bolak" looks now, and really wants to make him gentle, elegant, and confident.
The mask was torn to pieces and trampled underfoot.
"Do I need to avoid Alten? He is not Earl Golden Eyes, right?" Lucien replied calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.
Jocelin was Borac's secret crush, the daughter of a marquis. She managed to win her heart and prepared to enter into a marriage contract, but was snatched away by Alten. All of this had nothing to do with Lucien and he had no emotions.
Changes are normal.
Looking at Lucien's deep and steady attitude, Duda clenched his right hand subconsciously. What happened to him? Why did he seem to have changed into a different person in just a few days? No, not a different person, but a different person.
The original strong and confident Borak, no, is even more calm and confident than before, as if everything is under control!
Lucien lowered the curtains, closed his eyes, ignored Duda, and let the carriage drive slowly towards Denis' garden villa.
Duda also withdrew his gloomy gaze, having some bad premonitions in his heart and must tell Alten immediately!
