Chapter 350 Blood Source
The obvious change, the rising sun was as blood-red as the sunset, and the scarlet light spread out, causing the city of Katris and the surrounding mountains to be dyed with strange colors.
From the floor-to-ceiling windows set beside the room, you can see the light walls erected near the central square in the distance and the blood river spreading across the ground. The previous battles have been included in her vision, but here she has no way to lend a helping hand to Curt, Grosted and others.
"So slowly, where did that guy go?"
Liqi muttered unhappily with her head raised and raised her drink on the coffee table. She had been sitting alone in this room called the "reception room" for more than half an hour. If it weren't for the locks, she would even feel as if she was under house arrest.
Perhaps it was because Liqi showed Dean François's seal in front of them, which made them feel that she was a force that cannot be ignored. I thought that the name of Curt would be more or less effective, but I didn't expect that the civil servant responsible for contacting would have a reaction much more than she expected.
After hearing the name "Courtlinest", a strange smile appeared on the fat and short middle-aged man's face, and even said something like "It's you". The smile looked quite weird, so that Liqi looked at him with a look of alert.
"Ah, please don't get me wrong."
He smoked a cigarette and said in a fog: "I have heard a lot of rumors about Brother Ling, Mr. Curtleinst. I also know that he is now operating under the command of Dean François. Ah, but I'm sorry, the people above have no spare time now."
He was wearing a pair of simple thin-edged glasses. The metal glasses frame was almost strangled into the flesh on his face. There were not a few hairs on his forehead, and it was still emitting an oily glow under the street lights. At first glance, it looked full of a strong middle-aged atmosphere.
This is a scene where passers-by can't help frowning when they see it. If he hadn't been wearing the city hall uniform, most people would have judged that he was a strange uncle from his appearance. He stood blankly beside the city hall gate and smiled strangely, even revealing a wonderful sense of madness.
The expression on the civil servant's face looked strange. His smile made Liqi, who had been tense, feel inexplicably stressed. But as he said, there are not many people in the city hall now - it is said that those bureaucrats are discussing how to deal with it in the top meeting room.
"If you want, please take a break here for now." Therefore, this short and fat person brought Liqi to the reception room to wait, "But I think they still need a lot of time to solve the problem, in fact, there are still many things in the city that they need to deal with."
After almost an hour, the civil servant with a strange smile would come to the reception room from time to time to take a look and then prepare some drinks for Liqi. But every time he came, the smile on his face would calm down, and his attitude became a little strange.
At the beginning, it was still-
"I think they should end the meeting soon."
Then it becomes-
"Sorry, it seems the meeting will last for a while."
Then it all became-
"I'm so sorry, I've actually asked you to wait for so long on behalf of Dean François. If you don't mind, you can rest in the bed there."
It was just like this that made Li Qi feel bored, but the situation did not change at all. Except for him, Li Qi did not see a few idle civil servants, everyone either fought with documents in the office or rushed through the corridor with a bunch of things.
"Aw, I don't think you're too lazy to listen to my nagging."
Finally, when I don’t remember whether it was the seventh or eighth time I came to visit Liqi, he finally said deflatedly: “You should have seen it too, their meeting was extended almost indefinitely. Now there are war reports everywhere in the city and we don’t have much advantage.”
Rumble - There was a heavy sound of shelling in the distance, which was the sound of small-caliber cannons mounted on armored vehicles firing, and the glass windows were trembling. If it were just one shot, it would not have caused such obvious vibration. However, the shock waves of fighting in various parts of the city were intertwined. It would almost make people mistakenly think that an earthquake had occurred.
Just as the man wanted to get close to the window to see how the war was going, a ball with a fist flew around him. His face changed drastically and ran out of the reception room.
——And I haven't come back until now.
It seemed as if a layer of red film covered the surrounding area of Katris, separating the internal space from all the outside. In the scarlet and almost burning retina, there was a huge amount of magic hidden, which soaked the space like a wave.
The boundary between morning and evening was reversed, and the strange color reminded her of the "covered" magic cube array that once enveloped the Wikinas Monastery. In that wonderful dusk color space, the magic power controlled by the magicians created many strange existences that were contrary to common sense.
If we want to tell the difference between the two, it is probably the blood-red that is flooded in this space. If all these are real blood, how many creatures are needed to squeeze out such a huge amount of blood? Seindemocra used the hands of the Eye of True Vision to attack the Slots, but the number of victims discovered so far is far from enough to support the need for this spell.
Of course, the aliens that were solved by Curt and others had the crystals created by the "chaotic bloodline" that were concentrated, and after being killed, it gathered in the deep black blood river. Not only liquid, but the rolling darkness also evaporated into the air, and penetrated the magic power everywhere.
Liqi remembered what Dean François said before, after he smashed the crystals collected by Liqi: "As a spell, I think you all know the existence of this hypothesis - the source of life that carries all things, the origin of all life in the world, and even all things. Some people call it the spring of life, and some people call it chaos, which nurtures everything and will eventually devour everything."
In the ancient world, there were many primitive species before humans had emerged in the era when civilization was born. They had stronger power than all living things today. Both their bodies and magic powers had many alien traits under the influence of "chaotic" from the root.
Although their existence has disappeared now and there are only some clues hidden in the ancient documents of the side, a large number of species living in the dark continent, such as the Lamian snake species and Gulinius, are evidence of the existence of these blood species with chaos.
Until now, some naturalists believe that the many strange monsters discovered now are descendants of species containing demonic blood. When wild beasts are affected by the power of chaos, they will have incomprehensible powers and become existences that are closer to "monsters".
"The so-called 'chaotic bloodline' in Seindemocri's mouth may be such a thing, according to my guess." When Dean François said these words, Liqi noticed that his eyes were focused on him. "If all life really comes from the same origin, then you only need to concentrate a large number of the same bloodlines for reverse extraction operations, and you can propose something close to 'chaotic' from their blood."
According to some religious scriptures, in the mythological age, there were many alien races in this world. People were given various names according to their characteristics, such as "snake", "wolf", and "crow", etc. They were hosted with power from chaos, so they could cross the boundaries between creatures and awaken the power sleeping in their blood by changing their own structure.
However, after a long time, their bloodlines gradually merged with humans and gradually lost the power to change themselves. Nowadays, there are extremely few existences that can use these powers, and most of them are the demons gathered outside the West Sea.
In other words, it can also be considered that the demon is the most obvious part of the human species affected by the "chaotic bloodline". However, if you just want to extract a certain force hidden in the vitality, then you don't need to target the demons, just concentrate one group.
Therefore, Seindemocra targeted the Slots. Although he did not know what the criteria for his screening were, it was an indisputable fact that he successfully proposed the source of power from his blood. Using this thing, he successfully mastered the magic power far beyond the limits of human beings.
In theory, this is an act that only requires purifying the blood source and allowing the "something" hidden in it to settle down. Although the methods are different, Liqi has indeed seen many madmen trying to study in this direction - such as a bloodline that crazyly unites close relatives.
It was time to put an end to these things - Liqi suddenly felt a dazed moment, and the memory belonging to Curt suddenly flowed into her mind. In an instant, she was almost breathless, and in the tightly clenched fist, her nails were almost trapped in her flesh.
After a while, she looked up and looked up at the side. From when, several spheres with soft light floated next to her, floating up and down in the air. These were the devils summoned by the spell, surrounding Liqi as if they were monitoring her.
Apparently, she had attracted the attention of so many magicians who were affiliated with other camps. These tiny devils were the baits sent by restless guys to test her and see if she had the ability to tell them.
Liqi couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was such a group of people who were leisurely and had developed to this point, and they were still in the mood to try Dean François. But since they were idle, it might also mean that the meeting of some of the above big names has come to an end.
Liqi has already felt some wonderful magic in the residual light of the blood river. It seems that something is really about to hatch from the darkness on the other side of the light wall. (To be continued)
