Imperial Crown

"I hereby pay my respects to the Mother of Pure Black, the God in charge of life. Your divine power will surely enable me to cure the curse passed down by my bloodline..."

In the small secret room, lines as thick as fingers were carved on the hard granite floor, forming a five-pointed star array, and the lines were filled with fresh blood.

There is a person lying on both sides of the magic circle, a man and a woman. Their wrists have been cut, and it is their blood that together depicts this evil magic circle.

Between the two of them, at the core of the array, a tall and bloated figure was kneeling naked in the middle, holding his hands in front of his chest, praying devoutly.

At this moment, the lying man opened his eyes, stiffened his neck and slowly looked around, and then closed his eyes tightly.

"I'm so excited...I saw the pig can talk...get some sleep!"

Ten seconds later, Gao Yang opened his eyes again and clearly saw the curly white hair on the fat man's big toe.

Those are Donald's feet.

Wait, Donald? Who is that?

Memories like a flood surged in at this moment.

…

In this bloody environment, Gao Yang realized the fact that he had traveled through time, and quickly sorted out the current situation.

This is a colorful world, with gods, dragons, elves, dwarves, orcs, fighting spirit and magic. Naturally, there are also various legendary items, artifacts and miracles.

This is really a nice world——

If I hadn't time traveled to this guy.

The owner of this body is named Raven. He was originally an orphan from Meng'en City. His parents died when he was young and he grew up in an orphanage run by the Church of Light.

Relying on his natural good mouth, when he was eight years old, Raven coaxed the nanny, the only correctional officer in the orphanage, into a happy mood. Not only did he get an extra piece of black bread for every meal than other children, but he also often drank milk. , and occasionally a few pieces of bacon.

These foods provided Raven with sufficient nutrition and gave him a good figure that should not appear in an orphanage.

And Raven is also a person who knows how to repay kindness.

Just after his fourteenth birthday, he climbed into the bed of his mother-in-law.

He seemed to be born with a special talent for crime. He soon colluded with this nanny and began to resell the resources in the orphanage. Although they were all things such as couscous and corn that were not worth a few copper coins, he won. In large numbers, the water flows slowly.

The children in the orphanage are getting thinner and thinner, and their wallets are getting bulging.

Paper could not contain the fire. Although the two hid it well, the rumors still reached the ears of the director of the orphanage. She tried to influence Raven and let him change his mind and get back on track.

It must be said that this sixty-seven-year-old lady is indeed very well-educated. She picked up the broom only when Raven tried to tease her for the fifth time.

A broom cannot help the strong Raven, but when it is held in the hands of a second-level combat priest, the situation is completely different.

Raven was kicked out, and everyone in the orphanage was happy except Mammy.

This year, Raven was fifteen years old and already had a strong physique that was not inferior to that of an adult.

As the old Imperial proverb goes: "Many idle people do evil."

Idle people often do evil.

After leaving the orphanage, Raven was like a fish returning to the sea, squandering his talents to the fullest——

Theft, robbery, extortion, kidnapping, smuggling...

Relying on his cleverness and just the right amount of greed, Raven thrived in the underground world of Munn City, and gradually got his own nickname.

"Little Bee".

Because he really doesn't hate women.

From eighty to eighteen, no matter whether they are beautiful, ugly, fat or thin, they will not reject anyone who comes.

Donald was "working hard" in an inn when his chief bodyguard found him.

After being forcibly pulled out of the room, Raven received a piece of news that surprised him. His surname was actually "Griffith" and he was the last heir of a baron family.

baron!

Although he is the lowest among the five ranks of "Gonghou Bozinan", he is still an out-and-out noble!

Noble!

In the entire Keynesian empire, the number of newly promoted nobles in the past hundred years can be counted on one hand.

After checking the documents, Raven trekked for half a month and finally arrived at his future fiefdom - Eagle Territory.

There really is a castle here!

The owner of the castle is his uncle, the current Imperial Baron, Donald Otta Griffith.

This uncle was fat and strong, but also kind and hospitable.

Raven prayed sincerely in his heart, hoping that Donald could quickly return to the embrace of the benevolent Lord of Light, and even planned to speed up the process himself.

Raven was very happy at first. No matter where he went, people called him Master. Every meal had fresh white bread and broth, and even home-brewed red wine!

But gradually, he began to realize that something was wrong, because the castle was extremely deserted, with only one butler, three guards, and one cook.

Not even a maid!

His movements were also strictly restricted and he was not allowed to leave the castle. No matter where he went, he would be followed by at least two guards.

Not like an heir, but like a prisoner.

And through his superb social skills, he also learned about the past of the Griffith family from the guards.

No male in this family has ever lived beyond the age of forty, and the two sons and one daughter born to Donald died seven years ago, and their mother also died violently for no reason!

And Donald's second wife rarely returned to the castle.

Raven keenly smelled the smell of conspiracy and began to plan his escape, which was scheduled for tonight.

Because Lux, the priest and second-level magician assigned by the Church of Light to Eagle Town, will come to the castle on this day, this will also be the time when Raven's supervision will be the most relaxed.

But as soon as Raven was about to leave, Donald knocked on his door himself and took him into this secret room.

Looking at the dried blood on the wall and on the ground, which looked like rust, Raven immediately took out his self-defense crossbow, but was slapped away by Donald, followed by a straight punch, knocking him unconscious.

It's a long story, but it only lasted two minutes since Gao Yang woke up.

Gao Yang, oh no, now Lei Wen sighed in his heart: "What a scumbag..."

He slowly turned his head and saw that Donald was still praying devoutly, and in the magic circle on the ground, the blood was flowing more and more cheerfully, and the texture became more and more crystal clear, like red crystal.

There is no doubt that this is a sacrificial ceremony, and the sacrifices are the man and woman including Raven.

Soon, this ceremony will be officially completed, and by then he will be too dead to die.

Judging from the crimes Raven had committed before, in his previous life, he would have been shot more than a dozen times without being wronged, and it would have been a bargain to die just once.

"But I was wronged!"

I just traveled through time and was freed from the life of 996. In my twenty-seven years of life, I have never even touched a woman's hand. The benefit is to let me die again?

NMD, WSM! ! !

Which god have I offended? ?

calm! calm!

Raven forced herself to calm down.

This kind of blood sacrifice ceremony usually involves the body and soul. Now that he has traveled through time, it means that the soul of the original owner has probably been sacrificed. As long as he lasts until the end of the ceremony, he will not necessarily die.

But on the other hand, this kind of blood sacrifice, especially the blood sacrifice involving church clergy, has always been tolerated by the Holy See of Light. Donald will definitely not leave any survivors!

If you want to survive, you must kill Donald.

The goal immediately became clear.

But how to kill?

Donald is over 1.8 meters tall and weighs over 250 kilograms. He looks like a mountain of meat.

What's more, he is still a second-level bloody knight!

Raven had seen a second-level extraordinary attack. It was during a gang fight. "Crack-Tooth Tiger" Honduras used the second-level flame fighting spirit and cut three fat and muscular men in half with one sword!

The gap between the two is like that of an elephant and an ant.

Raven felt that his body began to become hot, the blood in his body began to flow faster, and his heart was beating loudly.

The scarlet light emitted by the magic circle on the ground has become as bright as a spotlight in the park square. It has obviously reached the most critical moment!

At this time, Raven calmed down. His eyes wandered, and then his eyes lit up and he locked onto the hand crossbow in the corner.

The forearm is long and short, and the crossbow body is dark and made of fine steel; the crossbow handle is heavy and strong iron pear wood; the most valuable thing is the crossbow string, which is only mixed with less than two grams of [Star Iron], but it takes up the most of the Most of the cost of a hand crossbow worth eight gold coins.

At this moment, the crossbow string was ready to go. Lying on the crossbow bed was a barbed armor-piercing enchanted arrow worth two gold coins. The arrow was also coated with a layer of [ricin poison] and was reflecting dark green light.

This is his only hope for survival.

He turned slightly to the side and stretched out his hand to touch the crossbow with difficulty. This body had suffered severe blood loss and was so weak that it could go into shock at any time.

The suction coming from the magic circle was huge, as if Donald had stepped on him. The two phases were superimposed, making every move he made use up all his strength!

It was like turning on a faucet, and cold sweat broke out on Raven's forehead. Even so, he was still desperately suppressing his breathing to prevent Donald from noticing anything unusual.

Finally, he moved his body and his fingers reached the handle of the crossbow.

Keng——

The stainless steel hand crossbow rubbed against the hard ground, making a sharp and sharp sound, and Donald's closed eyes suddenly opened!

Raven's scalp tightened, and he didn't have time to think. He held the crossbow in his hand, half-rotated his body to aim at Donald, and pulled the crossbow with all his might!

This set of movements is so smooth that it is already the instinct of this body!

The crossbow string made of star iron suddenly tightened, pushing the arrow out and flying towards Donald's throat!

The distance between the two is less than two meters, even a child will not miss it!

"Raven——" Donald roared angrily, and the thick blood-colored light enveloped his whole body, like a transparent diving suit.

This is the prototype of Douqi armor. In addition to having a certain resistance to magic, the defense against physical damage is even better than ordinary leather armor.

His fat body was extremely agile, and his broad, fighting-qi-encrusted palms had already blocked the crossbow's path.

The fine magic lines on the crossbow arrow lit up, and the [Elementary Sharpness] enchantment attached to it was activated, eroding the fighting spirit and piercing Donald's palm. Obvious throat!

puff--

Blood spurted out suddenly, turning into blood mist all over the sky!

Donald covered the wound on his neck with both hands, staring at Raven with a pair of blood-filled eyes, his face full of disbelief.

His lips trembled as he tried to say something, but life had already been irreversibly drained from his body.

After taking only one difficult step, the imperial baron fell to the ground with a bang, his fat body still trembling.

"Hu... Hu..." Raven panted violently, he supported the ground with both hands and slowly got up: "Oh my... This world is too dangerous."

"... Fortunately, I am better!"

A smug smile appeared on his pale face, but the smile did not last long.

"No way, come again?"

Because he found that the blood flowing out of Donald's body did not flow everywhere, but was absorbed by the magic circle itself.

The light was gradually dimming, but the ceremony did not seem to stop!

Raven did not know what the specific use of this ceremony and this magic circle was, but it was definitely not a good thing.

He looked around for something that could destroy the magic circle, and his eyes fell on the corner on the other side, where Donald's clothes and his rapier were piled up!

Raven strode to the corner, but as soon as he took a step, tingling and weakness spread from his legs. It felt like he had just finished a five-kilometer physical test in college, and his legs were no longer his own!

At this moment, a "gurgling" and "gurgling" sound rang out, just like a country boy kicking a pig bladder filled with water. Raven turned his head and looked, his body suddenly froze, and he stretched his hand to his belt.

Donald's body on the ground swelled violently. His originally very fat body was twice as big at this time. The white fat was wrapped around it, and it was still squirming, just like a living maggot as big as a person!

With a snap, the group of living maggots on the ground exploded like a balloon, and the green mucus as sticky as snot splashed everywhere, and a monster covered with mucus came out from it.

He was two meters tall, muscular, hairless, and his skin and muscles were almost transparent, allowing people to clearly see the bones, blood vessels, and internal organs under the skin, like a medical school teaching prop dummy!

The difference was that Raven could really see the flowing blood and the beating heart!

His facial features were still clearly Donald's.

"Haha... Hahaha!!!" Donald laughed wildly: "Raven, my good nephew, thank you so much!"

"Over the years, I sacrificed Ted, Monka, and my beloved little Lisa, and even had to kill my lover for this, but I never succeeded."

"It turns out that this step is missing!"

"After death, there is rebirth, and after breaking the pupa, it can become a butterfly. I have never felt so good!"

"To reward you for helping me complete the ceremony."

Donald opened his mouth exaggeratedly, revealing two rows of white teeth:

"Let you merge with me!"
