"Master, this is the forward information sent by Viscount Ribel." The castle supervisor sorted out some messy clothes at the door of the bedroom, knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from the door, he pushed the door in, and followed quickly. Beside Barbarisa, he lowered his body and whispered while taking out a sealed letter.
Barbarisa quickly adjusted his mood, took the letter and read it, thought for a moment, and said, "Return to the news and tell Viscount Ribel that everything is going according to the original plan."
"Yes, master." After hearing the order, the castle supervisor bowed and stepped back.
After the castle supervisor left, Barbarisa turned to the servants who were taking care of his wife and children and said, "Go down and rest too! I'll take care of it here."
Hearing Barbarisa's order, the servants were stunned for a while, but no one raised any objection, and one by one they left the room and closed the bedroom door.
When only Barbarisa was left in the room, he stood up, walked to the head of the bed, opened a secret lock cabinet in the plywood at the head of the bed, took out a box made of obsidian, and carefully placed it placed on the table.
Barbarisa didn't open the box immediately, with a hesitant look on his face, but after he turned his head to see his wife and children sleeping on the bed, he seemed to make up his mind and stretched out his hand to open the obsidian box.
I saw that there was a simple wooden statue stored in this box. This statue was a human in a robe. It looked very ordinary. It was like a peasant poor who picked up a random piece of wood and carved one for his child. It looks like a small toy, and because the wooden statue is old and poorly preserved, the overall condition of the statue is very poor, there are many cracks, and the face of the statue is even more blurred.
However, when Barbaliza opened the obsidian box from such an ordinary-looking statue, it exuded a strong energy aura. This energy aura directly lowered the temperature in the room a lot, even Barbary The breath that Sa breathed also turned into a white mist.
Barbarisa was not panicked by the appearance of this energy aura. He tightened his clothes, allowing himself to adjust to the reduced temperature around him, and then reached out to take the statue out of the box, but he was about to touch it. When he got to the statue, he stopped again, and the hesitant look reappeared on his face, as if he already knew what bad things would happen when he touched the statue.
However, when his wife fell asleep on the bed and let out an unconscious moan because of the pain, his original hesitant emotions were suppressed again, and his feelings for his wife and children made him put aside his concerns and reached out to grab it again. that statue.
"It's not a good thing to pray to the abyss. I'm afraid you won't be able to repay the interest that the guys in the abyss want in your life." Just when Barbarisa was about to grab the statue, Leo's voice suddenly appeared in the room, and he followed him. I saw him come out of the shadow of the wardrobe on the side and came to Barbarisa's side.
"Mr. Leo, you finally appeared." When Barbarisa saw Leo, he immediately showed great joy, and the sadness between his brows also dissipated a lot. He followed him without paying any attention to etiquette and dragged Leo directly. When he arrived at the bedside, he said excitedly: "Mr. Leo, please help me to see the illness of my wife and children. I will agree to everything you want, as long as my wife and children can get better."
"Calm down, Barbarisa, you are the protector of the country in the Middle Kingdom." Leo used a teasing tone to calm down Barbarisa's mood, and then stepped forward to carefully examine the three patients, and then took out the Three bottles of healing potions were handed to Barbarisa and said, "Give them a drink, and they will be able to recover tomorrow."
Hearing Leo's words, Barbarisa's excitement was beyond words, but he still tried his best to calm down, carefully took three bottles of healing potions, and gave them to his wife and children one by one, without doubting Leo's words at all. true or not.
As the therapeutic potion began to take effect, Barbarisa saw that his wife and children's flushed faces from fever gradually returned to normal, their painful expressions gradually eased, and they truly entered a normal state of sleep.
Barbarisa took the towel off the foreheads of his wife and children, tested the temperature on his forehead, and confirmed that the fever had subsided. His face immediately showed a look of joy, and he breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because of his emotions. Because of the relaxation, the physical and mental exhaustion from the past few days also took advantage of the opportunity, and he suddenly felt aching in his body and lethargic. It was like fighting without sleep for more than ten days. As soon as he closed his eyes, he might fall asleep.
However, Barbarisa knew very well that it was not the time to rest, so he took a few deep breaths, endured the discomfort, cheered up, walked to Leo's side, and was about to say something.
"Drink this bottle of potion and you'll feel better." Before Barbarisa could speak, Leo handed over another bottle of potion and said.
Barbarisa didn't have any hesitation. After taking the medicine, he drank it all in one gulp. He only felt an unprecedented cool breath poured directly into his stomach from his mouth, and then spread to the whole body. Qi not only made his body aches and exhaustion completely dissipated, but even made his mind extremely clear. Several problems he encountered in the previous meeting now have solutions in an instant.
While Barbarisa was still immersed in the effects of the potion, Leo pointed to the statue in the obsidian box and asked, "How did you get this statue?"
Barbarisa also looked at the statue in the box and said: "The day I was assassinated, someone brought it to me, and the person who brought it told me that this thing can fulfill all my wishes, but the bigger the wish, the more the price. bigger."
"Do you believe that all wishes come true?" Leo asked disapprovingly.
"Letter." Barbarisa likely nodded and said, "Because the person who gave me the thing is the person I trust the most."
"The most trusted person?" Leo smiled and asked, "Then tell me, who is that person?"
"He is..." When Barbarisa was about to tell Leo who the person who gave him the statue was, the words stopped abruptly, and his face also showed confusion. After a while, he said with confusion: " I clearly remember that there is a person that I absolutely trust, and I also have this person in my mind, but I just don’t know how to put it out and tell you who this person is?
He paused and said with a gloomy expression: "What's the matter? Am I being plotted?"
Leo didn't answer Barbarisa's question. He stared at the statue in front of him for a while, and then took it directly from the obsidian box, and the statue didn't show any abnormal reaction, as if the statue itself had wisdom and knew what to mess with , what's not to mess with.
"What is this?" Barbarisa couldn't help but ask again.
This time Leo gave an explanation and said: "This is a statue carved from the bones of a certain abyss superior. It can be used as a descendant of the abyss superior. For those cultists who worship the abyss, this thing It can be regarded as a sacred relic of priceless value."
Although Barbarisa didn't fully understand Leo's words, he was able to guess that what Leo had in his hands must be very unusual, and it was definitely a scourge in his hands, so he tentatively asked: "Mr. Leo , can you take this thing?"
Leo put the statue back in the obsidian box, closed the lid, then looked at Barbarisa, and said solemnly: "There is no problem with taking it, but even if I take it away, some problems remain unsolved."
"What's the problem?" Barbarisa hesitated for a moment and asked with a serious look.
"For example, why is this thing given to you to use, and what is their purpose? If you don't understand these things, then you will definitely encounter similar plots, and next time you won't be so lucky, I can make it in time. Appeared in front of you." Leo said, looking up and down at Barbarisa, then as if he had discovered something interesting, he motioned Barbarisa not to move, and then stretched out his hand and scratched on Barbarisa's neck. Immediately, a drop of blood seeped out from Barbarisa's neck and landed on Leo's fingers.
Leo put the blood on his finger in front of his eyes, and after using his spiritual vision and mental net to check it again and again, he looked at Barbarisa in surprise and asked, "What happened to you recently? Why are you The bloodline has begun to return to the ancestors?"
"Return to the ancestors?" Barbarisa looked at Leo blankly, not understanding what Leo said, but he knew very well that the content of Leo's inquiries must be closely related to his own situation, so he truthfully told what happened in the recent period of time. things were said carefully.
It turned out that before the assassination incident, some things happened around Barbarisa. First of all, some strange phenomena would appear in the castle. Things will shift inexplicably, and even levitate directly in front of people.
In addition to the castle, some incredible things happened to Barbarisa. For example, Barbarisa found that his energy had become extremely strong, and he would not feel tired and sleepy without sleep for several days. There are often some hallucinations, and the strange thing is that he is very sure that there is a hallucination in front of him, but he can't remember the content of the hallucination at all. The only thing he remembers is a voice like a name.
In order to confirm what he said, Barbarisa also imitated and said this word, because the sound of the word was very strange. He said it a dozen times in a row, and he was barely right, but it was still not small from the voice in the hallucination. difference.
It's just that what Barbarisa doesn't know is that Leo has understood the meaning of the voice that Barbarisa said, not because he understands the language represented by the voice, but because the voice induced the representatives in the Throne Square. The stone pillar of the tree demon's power of nature has a very weak resonance effect. Obviously, the correct pronunciation of this sound will definitely touch the power of nature.
It's just that Leo's focus at the moment is not on what happened to Barbarisa and the only voice he remembers, but on the time that initially caused all kinds of things to happen around Barbarisa, because that time seemed to be It was exactly the time when Leo collected the meteorite fragment at the bottom of Lake Narnia in the Shadow Realm, and it was also the time when the Shadow Realm appeared under the influence of Leo's shadow sun.
Although it's just a synchronization in time, there is no other evidence to prove that the two are still connected, but Leo feels that there must be a mystery that he hasn't discovered yet.
To this end, Leo signaled Barbarisa not to move, and then checked his body more carefully, and also used the scanning ability in the universal recorder, and the result was not only Leo's expectation, but also his Unexpectedly, this made him stunned for a long time.
Seeing Leo's serious expression, Barbarisa became a little nervous. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Leo, is there something wrong with my body?"
"No, you misunderstood! Not only does your body not have major problems, but it is also very good." Leo signaled to Barbarisa not to worry, then thought for a while, and said, "You still remember the thing you asked me to investigate. ?"
"Is it about the primordial god?" Barbarisa thought for a while and confirmed.
Leo nodded and went straight to the subject: "I have already investigated clearly, you are indeed related to the God of Beginning, or that your ancestors are related to the God of Beginning, so you also have some bloodlines of the God of Beginning, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I think the reason why you were canonized by the True God Church is probably related to your bloodline."
"I have the bloodline of the primordial god?" Barbarisa was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Leo ignored Barbarisa's reaction and continued: "The various abnormal events that happened in the castle before are probably related to the awakening of your bloodline, and the changes in your body are also related to the awakening of your bloodline, so you don't have to worry, when When your bloodline is fully awakened, and when you master the power of your awakened bloodline, all abnormal reactions will end, and you will also be able to gain extremely powerful power, and may even possess abilities like a god."
Although it sounds from Leo's words that the awakening of the bloodline seems to be a good thing, it can give ordinary people extremely powerful power, but Barbarisa is not happy because of his years of experience, because he knows how much he can gain. The greater the pay, the greater the pay. It is impossible for someone to be really lucky enough to not pay at all, but to receive great benefits, so in his opinion, if he has gained such a huge gain because of the awakening of his bloodline, then he There is bound to be an equally huge price to pay.
"What do I need to pay?" Barbarisa asked Leo without hesitation when he knew his own situation.
Leo was silent for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, when your bloodline is fully awakened, you may need to be the savior of this world."
