magician of beasts

His Excellency the Duke made a concluding statement: "The exchange with the Dark God at the cost of souls and descendants is too powerful, and Sliver has no way to record your name in the genealogy... Errol, at this point, I don't want to hide from you." He carefully observed the expression of the silver-haired young man opposite him, but found that there was no displeasure, so he continued, "But I think, since you can obtain your current status in this life, it means that the Dark God has taken The barter is enough, from now on, every generation of descendants belonging to your line will no longer be cursed by the poverty of fate, but will be able to obtain their own corresponding status through talent."

A Luo seemed to have a sad expression on his face, and said softly: "That's really great."

No, maybe it's not that the barter is enough, but it's completely cut off... The real silver-haired Sliwell has long been sacrificed to the altar by a dark magician in poverty, and has long since died, and the only thing left is the one who occupied this body. A lonely soul in another world of flesh.

It started with the dark magician and ended with the dark magician. This is probably a kind of cause and effect. The greed of the dark god finally swallowed the last blood of the woman back then. When pulled out, this body will no longer be associated with Sliwell.

The room fell silent for a while, and the Duke didn't speak, as if he was waiting for Arlo to calm down.

Arlo lowered his eyes, then raised his head and smiled: "I am very grateful that the Duke can find the source of my blood...do you have anything else to do?"

"No." The Duke said in a deep voice, "But you are still a member of Sliver, even if your name cannot be listed on the genealogy."

"I am very touched by your care and tolerance for me, but I can't be so brazen." A Luo shook his head lightly, "My ancestors defected back then and were already deported. How can I shamelessly use them today? Is this living in Sliver Manor? Please allow me to leave."

"You don't have to be like this." The Duke looked into Arlo's eyes, as if he was looking for lies in it—or sincerity, "Sevrilla has admitted that you are his elder brother, even if you take off this layer of identity, you are still the same." It's his teacher."

"Sevrilla..." Arlo whispered the name, then raised his head suddenly, showing a pale smile, "My lord, in fact, at this ball, I heard about the silver-haired legend about Sliver .Sevrela and I must have one who dedicates his strength..."

The Duke's body shook slightly, and he looked at the young man who seemed to be trying to control his emotions calmly.

"And that book..." Arlo's voice became softer.

"... Sliver Forever?" asked the Duke.

"Yes, "Sliver Forever"." Arlo nodded, "This ceremony is also mentioned in the book. It is a responsibility that a member of Sliver must bear for the family. Sliver needs bloodline awakeners. The glory of the family will remain." As he spoke, his tone calmed down, "Since I was born with silver hair, and I met Severilla and entered the Sliver Manor, even if I am just a Sliver who returned halfway... ...although dejected, but also enlightened."

"Sefruila is excellent, and the family cannot lack such an heir. Then, as his teacher and his elder brother, I am willing to send him to the pinnacle of the altar with the blood of the gods in my body!"

The Duke carefully discerned every change in Arlo's expression, wanting to see whether what he said was true or not, and more importantly, wanted to see whether these were his sincerity or resentment?But he only saw sincerity and some relief.

"No...it's not fair to you." In the end, the Duke still pondered and refused ambiguously.

"Please let me make amends to the family for my ancestors." Alo knew that the other party was still testing, and he showed a smile, showing a strong yet fragile look, "Since I am also a Sliver, please do not refuse .”

Sirius leaned over and put his arms around his trembling shoulders, as if to provide him with support.

"...If you have already decided..." The Duke waved his hand, "You go out first, I will hold a meeting of the clan to discuss this matter."

Sirius stood up with Alo in his arms, and Alo bowed slightly: "Then, good night... Your Excellency the Duke."

Until Arlo's figure walked away, no one mentioned whether there would be any danger in the ceremony. Maybe the Duke forgot, maybe...

When the two reached their room, Arlo breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really wanted a chance, and here I am, Bleeding Tooth, this time I can finally return the blood of the god-born as soon as possible." As soon as he entered the room, he was thrown on the bed by Sirius, and he stretched his limbs comfortably ... To be honest, it has only been a short period of more than a month here, but it seems to him that he has experienced countless years, which is very difficult, and he can't help sighing, "I always read in the book that it is the most difficult for a cultivator to enter the world. It's the hardest... especially in this noble family, it's really exhausting."

Sirius crawled over, put Alo's head on his lap for him to rest on, put both hands on his forehead and pressed gently: "Tired?"

"Fortunately, I just miss the days of cultivating in the forest. At that time, I don't have to think about other things, just focus on improving my cultivation." A Luo closed his eyes, feeling a lot more relaxed under the service of his Taoist companion .

Since leaving the forest, the woody aura outside is not as concentrated and abundant as in the forest. He even has no time to practice at all. Later, he had to hide his identity to avoid a little trouble caused by dual cultivation. Trouble... This time, even the meditation every night is cancelled, and all the spiritual power in the body is converted into magic power, which is of no help to the cultivation base.

Arlo also has the heart to absorb the water element in the air. It stands to reason that such elements are abundant in Sliver Manor, which was originally the most convenient way to improve, but he gave up because the influence of the underground temple had too much influence on him. This—he didn't want to have any bad effects when he returned the blood of the descendant of the gods.

So, he really hasn't been able to practice purely for a long time... If he continues like this, it will be difficult for him to consolidate after breaking through the Nascent Soul Stage. When you go to practice, you will get twice the result with half the effort!

"Bleeding teeth, I used to think that I would move my whole body with one hair, so I concealed my original identity, but now that I think about it, after I get rid of the blood of the gods, I will have nothing to do with Sliwell, and then I will You don’t need to be so careful... With our escapism and Taoism, even if someone notices you, you can slip away very quickly. Although you can’t commit crimes recklessly, it’s okay to retreat without fighting.” A Luo smiled slightly, “ At that time, you don't need to bleed your teeth and you can endure it like now...Anyway, if you can't beat it, you can always run?"

He was originally worried about the so-called innocence, but he was guilty of the crime—always worried that if the existence of a cultivator like himself was not careful, it would arouse the vigilance of the major empires, and then Sirius was forced to panic , I am afraid that he will do something big that will harm the peace of heaven and attract the punishment of heaven... But now he is caught in the situation, and after thinking about it, not to mention that the original spiritual power is illusory, except that the star power that can predict the future can detect it. If he doesn't use it deliberately, it will be difficult for others to find out, so he doesn't have to be so vigilant at all... The more he is like this, the more spider threads are entangled in his destiny, gradually entwining him tighter, making him want to break free and dodge more. On the contrary, the more I can't break free, the more I can't escape.

However, his vigilance may not be wrong. The Sliver family has too much influence on the mainland. Of course, he must be extremely careful before that, otherwise he may be trapped in it, but when the Sliver matter is over, he will also There is no need to hide like this anymore.Otherwise, even if you can not get involved in right and wrong, it will have a great impact on your state of mind, and I am afraid that you will not be able to make any progress in your future practice.

Thinking of this, Ah Luo suddenly felt his Dao heart move, and a sense of lightness flowed through his whole body in an instant, and his whole body seemed to be much lighter.

He had an epiphany.

Sirius was keenly aware of the changes in Arlo, and cast a puzzled look.

A Luo smiled softly: "It's okay, I just feel better."

Hearing what he said, Sirius put it down, and then he put his chin on Arlo's forehead and frowned, "Luo, that ceremony..."

A Luo closed his eyes, with a smile on his lips, he stretched out a hand to caress Sirius's thick black hair and rubbed: "Don't worry, we have already prepared, haven't we?" He thought After thinking about it, he added, "Liu Ya, no matter what happens, promise me, don't be impulsive...At least, you must be measured."

"...Okay." Sirius closed his eyes and pressed a kiss on Arlo's silver hair.

Sure enough, three days later, Steward Chris brought a message from the Duke. He agreed and expressed his sincere thanks to Arlo on behalf of the Sliver family.

Arlo just smiled unchanged, and then followed Butler Chris to the underground temple that he had already been to once.

Only in the aisle, he felt the strong pressure and attraction - Arlo took a deep breath, he didn't like the feeling of blood boiling uncontrollably.

The gate of the underground temple was wide open, and as soon as he walked to the gate, more surging water magic power rushed towards his face... The powerful coercion was overwhelming, and it was extremely difficult for people to even breathe when they were in it.The blue fluorescent light enveloped the entire temple, and countless magic circles of different sizes rotated continuously on the walls, ceiling, and floor with their own rhythms, making people feel as if the gears of history were crunching.

Especially in the giant magic circle in the center, countless magic patterns are constantly shuttling around like fish, shining magnificent light.

Yes, as expected, even the Duke at that time seemed hesitant, but he also prepared such a grand ceremony in these three days - so many magic circles, so they must be ordered immediately before they can be completed in a hurry, right?Such a solemn and sacred aura gushes out from every magic circle, with colorful blue lights, as if reflecting a gorgeous smile on the tall goddess statue inside—the goddess is merciful, and she is willing to witness the awakening of a descendant.Her fishtail has diamond-like scales, which are more noble than the beautiful blue light in the magic circle. She doesn't move, but every strand of her hair seems to be fluttering slightly—as if she is alive.

The Duke stood under the statue of the goddess with his magnificent cane, a smile appeared on his usually stern face, and a suppressed enthusiasm appeared in his usually cold eyes—yes, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, but he Don't lose your composure, even if the two silver-haired Sliver of this generation stand in front of him.

"My lord duke, I'm here." Arlo was dazzled by the blue light all over the hall, but he quickly adapted, took a few steps forward, and stopped at the edge of the magic circle.

The Duke nodded to him reservedly: "I'm very happy."

On the surface, the two of them had done enough work. A silver-haired young man walked by the wall. It was Sevreira who had declined all family affairs today. He had a sullen face and looked a little nervous. When he was talking to Luo, he smiled kindly at him.

Arlo also smiled back.

The Duke didn't waste too much time. He inserted his stick into the sideline of the magic circle in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Sefrila entered the magic circle first, and then Errol also walked in. The two stood opposite each other."

Sefrila squeezed her fist and walked in, and Arlo saw him standing up, and walked in too.

Sirius, who had been standing beside Arlo, also moved to follow.He always felt that this ritual was full of weirdness, and coupled with the analysis he had with A Luo before, he couldn't let go of his mind at all... This abnormal emotion made him agitated.

"Mr. Sirius, as the accompanying warrior of Master Errol, you can observe this ceremony, but you cannot enter the magic circle with Master Errol." At this moment, Steward Chris dutifully stopped the legendary A black-haired man at the same level, although his strength is far inferior.

Arlo turned his head and gave Sirius a comforting smile, telling him to stay calm.

Sirius fell silent, and he walked slowly to the side of the magic circle, staring at the two people in the circle, as if if there was any problem with the silver-haired young man inside, he would fly away and take He grabbed it back hard!

A Luo felt the gaze behind him like a thorn on his back, but in order to get rid of the so-called blood of the god-born, he had no choice but to hesitate - he tried his best to relax himself, but in fact he was not too sure.

Seeing that both of them were ready, the Duke pulled out the cane inserted into the edge of the magic circle, which also brought a hazy blue light.

The entire magic circle was shrouded in light. When the light became weaker, everyone saw it. A huge pool appeared behind Sefruila. It was carved from dark blue spar, and every point was engraved with solemn And the gorgeous magic patterns showed a distant and ancient atmosphere.

"Severilla, you enter the pool. Errol, put your right hand into the groove by the pool, and keep touching the innermost crystal wall with your palm." The Duke continued to order.

Sevrilla jumped into the pool, and the water in it was full without splashing a drop. When his hair just touched the water surface, through the blurred water shadow, everyone could see that Sevrilla Rilla's clothes disappeared in an instant - he was soaking naked in the huge pool.

And at this time, Arlo also stepped forward and came to the front of the groove.

The groove is in the shape of a palm, and there is a sharp thorn on the pulp of each finger. If the palm is to be matched with the palm print, the thorn will naturally punch five holes in the palm.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Arlo blocked Sirius' sight with his body, then stretched his right hand in, and pressed it quickly and forcefully—a pain in his heart, but Arlo's expression did not change in any way.

As soon as the bright red blood oozes out, it is sucked in by a strong suction. A Luo feels that his blood is constantly losing, which affects the beating of the heart, and his breathing gradually becomes uneven.

At the same time, a tinge of bright red glowed in the blue water in the pool, slowly rendered in a spiral shape, and then wandered for a while, forming a light red rudiment that seemed to be a magic circle, and then as the red liquid became more and more , the magic circle was gradually enriched, became fine and complex, and the color gradually became deeper, until it looked like coagulated fresh blood.

Standing in the magic circle, Arlo's face turned pale, because he lost too much blood and even his mind was a little dizzy!There was a burst of sharp tingling in the heart, as if the thicker and more vigorous blood was drawn out from there, A Luo gradually felt his body weakened, his legs were weak, and at this time he could only rely on Touching the wall of the pool, but his hand seemed to be sucked even tighter by that groove, as if growing in the groove!

Sirius, who had been paying attention to Alo, immediately noticed his strangeness, his eyes were smeared with beastly red, as if he was going to rush over - however, he was stopped by Aluo with a gentle look up.

A Luo didn't want to insist on taking risks, but he felt that something hard to pull out was about to come out of his body because of the attraction of this weird groove, and he thought almost instantly that this must be It is the blood of the descendants of the gods!

This is one of the main purposes he insisted on doing this ceremony, how could he give up because of a little pain and blood... He had a hunch that even if the blood of the god-born was completely expelled, his blood might not be wiped out. This groove is sucked dry, and then he needs to find an opportunity to get out...

Sevrela in the pool closed his eyes unknowingly, and he was slowly pushed to the center of the magic circle. The scarlet magic circle passed through his body, causing him to float and sink in the middle of the pool. The neck, hands and feet, and the whole body were soaked by the waves.And from the center of the magic circle, a red blood thread drew out, piercing straight into his heart. After a while, the magic circle abruptly drew out more red threads, wrapping him around, layer by layer. , and finally formed a big red cocoon...
