Mage Adam Chapter 72: Back to the desert island (2)
After Quentyn was designated as a genius by Lord Mage, the lords of the East gave Quentyn's father Brown the surname and the title of Viscount, and recruited a team of twenty knights from the East for him, including him I was also promoted to a knight because of the gift of the secret medicine.
Although this kind of strength is still not worth mentioning, but after all, he has the status of aristocrat, and the duke can't just sit back and ignore it.
"Viscount Brown, I think there must be some misunderstanding, why don't we talk about it later?"
The banquet broke up unhappily. Everyone left with their own feelings of grief or hatred. Adam and the others came to the council hall together at the invitation of the duke.
During this period, Brown kept staring at Adam, and the hatred in his eyes intensified. As soon as he entered the chamber, Brown said, "Your Excellency, I need an explanation."
Adam's explanation was brief: "He attacked me and was killed by me."
Not only Brown was stunned, but even the Duke couldn't help being surprised. This sentence was more like a declaration of war than an explanation.
Brown had blue veins on his forehead and arm, and asked William and the others, "You all know about this?"
William nodded. He didn't know how to appease Quentin's father. As for making Adam admit his fault and compensate, he had never thought about it.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Brown laughed angrily and rushed out of the chamber after saying three words.
The Duke looked at Adam with a wry smile: "Young man, I hope you can understand the mood of a father who has lost a child." As a mage apprentice, the Duke deeply understands the power of magic, and he has no doubt that Adam can Killing Brown easily can only be persuaded a little.
Adam didn't take this matter to heart at all, and asked directly: "Your Excellency, I am the person in charge of this mission. Now please introduce the situation of the Supreme Divine Religion."
The Duke knew that since the Academy appointed Adam as the person in charge, Adam was the strongest in any sense, and he could only keep his worries in his heart: "You should already know the basic information, now, the entire western region has Completely occupied and become a dead zone, the Supreme Cult has extended its tentacles to the west, and even the south has been attacked."
"Father, were you injured by a priest of the Supreme Cult?" William was very anxious.
The Duke showed a look of fear: "That's right, the priest suddenly emerged from the body of an ordinary civilian, drained the flesh and blood of the civilians, and then started to frantically kill and destroy the nonsense that the true God is about to come. I have never seen such a strange magic, he seems to cast spells completely with flesh and blood, he keeps cutting his own body, every ordinary person contaminated by his blood will be infected and die by him, the most terrifying is that the corpse will die. Become a monster and resurrect."
"Sorry, Your Excellency, I think this level of magic doesn't seem to be enough to hurt you?" Crystal said suddenly.
The Duke nodded and continued: "Yes, although it does great harm to ordinary people, it means nothing to apprentices. I thought so too, but when I was about to kill him, he He suddenly rushed to my side desperately, and then exploded. His self-destruction had amazing power, and instantly broke through my defensive magic, and then, I became like this."
William's eyes were full of anger, and his fist joints were too hard to make a crisp sound. The Duke smiled at him and comforted: "It doesn't matter, at least I'm still alive, isn't it? I will order a mechanical body from the academy, Everything will be fine."
Ophelia suddenly said: "Your Excellency, do you keep the flesh and blood of the gods?"
"Sure, now?"
Ophelia said: "Yes."
The Duke himself got up, took out a small mass of sealed flesh and blood from the mansion, and said to Ophelia: "At that time, most of the flesh and blood that exploded after the deity's self-destruction was completely destroyed by me, and only this mass was left. , Miss Ophelia, be careful, it's very aggressive."
Ophelia stretched out a finger and pressed it on the seal, and a strong magical power exploded instantly, directly destroying the seal. After the flesh and blood was exposed in the air, it began to distort extremely, and flew from the table to the nearest Ophelia. Asia.
Ophelia's expression didn't change at all, and she grabbed the flesh with her hands.
The Duke exclaimed in shock: "Don't directly touch the flesh with your body, otherwise... uh..."
Ophelia slammed the flesh and blood with a ruthless grip. Under the shackles of her unique magic power, the flesh and blood remained in her hand obediently.
In the next second, Ophelia actually picked up a piece of minced meat and put it in her mouth, chewed and swallowed it as if nothing had happened, and then said calmly: "It contains low-level blood energy, and has no resistance to magic. It can only infect assimilated ordinary people."
Adam remembered that William once said that Ophelia had joined a certain laboratory, and now it seems that he should be conducting research on body refining and bloodline magic, but this kind of research looks really, really cool.
Ophelia didn't pay attention to the duke's strange eyes, and continued: "There is a lack of more samples, but if there is only this level, it is vulnerable."
The scene of a beautiful girl eating indescribable flesh and blood in a bland way is really weird.
The Duke suppressed the unnatural emotions that were surging in his heart and said: "It is natural for formal apprentices, but for ordinary people, the harm of priests is extremely huge. Although it is very rude to say this, I am I hope you can solve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise Madeira will be finished." Originally, he actually hoped that the official mages would come to solve the Supreme Divine Religion, but obviously, no official mages were willing to come to this magical desert.
Ophelia stopped talking, Adam asked again: "Does the priest only have this ability?"
"No, listen to those who escaped from the west say that some gods master the power of nature, some are invulnerable, and their abilities are different, but one thing can be confirmed, they were all ordinary people before, and they were all offering sacrifices. The ability is acquired only after the living."
William noticed a huge problem, that is, there are only four of them. Even if they are relatively powerful, these gods have the evil magic that turns ordinary people into monsters. In the face of overwhelming enemies, they have no choice. "Father, how effective are the infected ordinary people?"
The duke said: "We are vulnerable. As long as we abandon fear, those resurrected monsters can be killed with weapons, even women. The only real threat is the gods."
After Adam got some news from the duke, everyone moved into an adjacent luxury room under the arrangement of the servants. Before resting, Adam suddenly asked William: "Duke, earl, who awarded these titles ?"
William was still worried about his father. From Frank, he knew the danger of the incompatibility of cheap mechanical bodies. He was hesitating how to teach Adam to his father. He was stunned: "Of course it is. King of Madeira, the royal city is in the middle."
It turns out that Adam originally thought that the title was awarded by the tower, but "why didn't I see the apprentice from the middle?"
"The central part is the royal city, just a city. The royal family is only a nominal symbol, and its real strength is very weak. Master Mage will not care about the face of the royal family. No qualification means no qualification. Speaking of which, there is actually only one city in the north. , I just didn't expect that this time there will be three geniuses of your level."
Adam expressed understanding, and then pushed open his door. At this moment, William hesitated and stopped him: "Adam, my father he..."
Adam looked at William quietly.
William's heart sank, and he said directly: "Can I teach my father the psychic meditation method?"
Adam looked at him strangely. He didn't know why he was asking himself about this kind of thing. William thought that Adam was going to refuse, and showed his frustration. At this moment, Adam said: "Of course, just pay fifty units of energy. Shi, who you teach is your freedom."
"Thank you, Adam." William ran towards the Duke's room after thanking him from the bottom of his heart~IndoMTL.com~ Viscount Brown left the Duke's mansion directly, summoned all his knights and left the southern harbour city overnight.
"Lord Viscount, I don't think anyone will be able to catch up with us. Should you tell us the reason?" Brown's knight commander, who only entered the rank of great knight in the last strong stage of his life, will never have another one in his life. any progressive knight asked.
The rest of the knights also looked at Brown suspiciously, and no one would be happy if they were pulled away when they were about to enjoy it.
"My child who was supposed to be a mage, Quentin Brown, is dead."
The knights were suddenly in an uproar. They all knew where this man's title came from. Now that his hope is gone, can he keep his title?
Brown ignored their thoughts and continued: "You must have all heard of the Cult of the High God?"
"Of course." Everyone didn't know what Brown did when he mentioned that evil at this time.
Brown turned his horse's head to look at the knight commander: "Kyle, you are very old, and your strength will not improve. So far, you have not won a hereditary title for your son. Are you willing?" , he shouted loudly to the rest of the knights: "Many of you don't have even the lowest title, although you have a higher status than the commoners, but you can only respectfully obey the nobles, are you willing?"
Kyle asked in a deep voice, "Lord Viscount, what do you mean?"
"Without power, you can only be enslaved, but now, I have a way for you to gain power."
Kyle was horrified: "You want to join the Supreme Church? Are you crazy? Master Mage will not let you go."
Brown smiled gloomily: "Mage? No, they are just mage apprentices, just like my son..."
