512. Ryker's Purpose
If you say, in this world, there are people who kill Wu Ji more than him. Alexis knows her own better, so it's just Sean.
Sean doesn't know what Alexis's past really is, and a lot of information about her is only known on the game's official website. However, at that time, more understanding was just to find the way to break the law of this Wu Ji, after all, in the game back then, the two sides were on opposite sides. But it also echoes the old saying: the people who know you best are often your enemies.
So, Sean knows Alexis better than Lake, Gypril, or even people in this world or other planes.
Because in the Outlands, or in other dimensional worlds, no one would really regard this Killer Warrior as a real enemy.
Therefore, Sean is not very worried that Alexis will be killed by Lake. Judging from the level of both sides, Sean believes that Alexis definitely has the ability to protect himself, and can even cause some trouble for Lake, after all, if it is purely a hand-to-hand combat, the old lich will not be an opponent to kill Takehime.
Putting his worries down a bit, Sean buried his head all the way towards the Forest of Sighs.
At this moment, he has turned on all his skills that can increase his speed, leaving no changes in his subsequent moves at all. But when Sean reached the edge of the Forest of Sighs, it still took him a whole night, almost at dawn.
It is conceivable that Sean's state at this time is naturally impossible to be at his peak.
In this world, whether it is a Sanctuary powerhouse, a legendary powerhouse, or a super powerhouse, most of the way they rush is to travel by mount. It is rare to use the power of its own laws to break through the void. Of course, if you want to travel a short distance because of an urgent matter. Naturally, it is faster to take the way of breaking through the air. However, only the strong above the legend have the recovery power to quickly recover their physical strength after breaking through the air.
I want to rush through the air for a short distance with almost no loss. That's an ability that only the super strong have.
It's just that Sean, who has re-established contact with Kokilei, is naturally not a waste at this time, because he can already sense that Kokilei is rushing towards Sean's location with Cecilia and others. In the same way, you know what Lake has been hiding in this black soil all these years, this old immortal guy actually took a step ahead of Sean to clear the utopia copy "Paradise Lost"!
But despite this, because of the lack of restoration of the flame of order, utopia is still not available at the moment.
But the news is for Sean. But it's not good news at all, and it can even be said to be worse than bad news.
The Lost Paradise is a hurdle that Sean can never bypass if he wants to restore his utopia.
This quest is a twelfth-order quest.
The so-called twelfth order refers to the legendary level, which means that the overall difficulty of this dungeon has reached the level of the legendary scale, and even the legendary powerhouse is in danger of falling. Back then, in the game, Sean's guild Void Wings was a real time that poured out the power of the entire guild, which took more than a year, and several times even almost made the entire guild collapse because of this.
But the end result. However, it also made the entire guild completely gain a foothold in the southern continent of the entire Miracle Continent and become one of the famous overlords.
Originally, Sean's strategy for this copy was to gather a group of monster-level existences. Then relying on his familiarity with this copy, he directly crushed the past. After all, with the two super powerhouses of Kokire and Alexis, it is not difficult to challenge this dungeon. Although it is still a little short of the level of flat pushing, it is actually not difficult to win the utopia.
What really bothered Sean. In fact, it is still a question of how to negotiate with the Millennium Covenant Empire.
But now, this dungeon has actually been cleared by Lake!
If an outsider accidentally clears a copy that originally bothered Sean. Sean should have been happy. But the problem is that when this dungeon is cleared, the person who clears the level becomes the final boss of the new dungeon, and the difficulty of the entire dungeon has to be increased by several levels, so this is not an interesting and happy thing.
It's like, after a hero kills the evil demon king, he suddenly finds that life is really lonely like snow, so he becomes a demon king who wants to bring disaster to the world, waiting for a new hero to come out and challenge himself.
Sean was so depressed at this point that he vomited blood.
But what makes Sean even more helpless is that Laice's so-called prisoner transfer is not as simple as he imagined. Her so-called arrest and imprisonment back then was actually just a deal made with the new emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire, whether she let William leave the Millennium Covenant Empire at that time, the public announcement would end with her imprisonment. So in fact, William's departure and the fact that he was not pursued afterwards were just another condition of the agreement reached between Reis and the new emperor.
When they rescued Laice and saw that Laice was not restricted from his freedom, Angel and Cecilia were already aware of the problem.
It's just that the battle has completely broken out at that time, and Kokilei's strength is indeed very strong, and it was an attack launched with the power of thunder, so the two legendary powerhouses were killed by Kokilei and Rena before they could speak. If it weren't for this at the time, Kokire and the others would not have been trapped in the Forest of Sighs because of this, and they have not been able to break out of this forest to this day.
Because, Lake directly refined these two legendary powerhouses into the Silent Death Rider - the one who was killed by Alexis before. However, before the Silent Death Rider was transferred out to deal with Sean and Alexis, it did make Kokyre and the others suffer enough. After all, Rena can't completely suppress this Silent Death Rider in the face of this, but will affect others because of the impact of the battle between the two sides.
The only one who could really suppress this Silent Death Rider was Kokire.
However, how could a Lich King like Ryker, who is good at group fighting, attack his strengths with his own shortcomings. Deal with Kokire's. It was the old lich himself, who took advantage of the location of the Forest of Sighs. Combined with the assistance of death qi, the undead army has been continuously attacking Kokilei and others. Forcing Kokire to be unable to completely deal with the Silent Death Rider.
In fact, the Silent Death Rider formed by the souls and bones of many legendary powerhouses, in the Forest of Sighs, its strength has already exceeded the level of the sixteenth order, if it is in the black earth land where the power of darkness and death is stronger, its strength may be able to exceed the seventeenth order, and even if Alexis makes a move, he must use the spear of ruins, and it is impossible to do it like before. Where it can be solved with only the Blazing Twin Swords.
From this point of view, Lake's previous statement to Alexis that he made a mistake is true.
He did regret his recklessness a little.
It's just that since Lake knows that there is a soul contract connection between Kokilei and Sean, he will definitely not let Kokilei pass on the things in the Forest of Sighs, so he will use his powerful magic to distort the connection between Sean and Kokire, so that Sean can't know the situation here. If it weren't for Sean and Alexis arriving at this time, Kokire and the others would only be able to hold out for another day at most, and they would have been completely captured by Lake.
It was only in this process that Cecilia and others also discovered. In addition to Korkire, Rena, and Cecilia, Ryker's target actually has one more target.
Laice!
Later, through inquiry, everyone found out that Laice was actually an extremely rare technical talent!
And he is not an ordinary technical talent, he is the developer of Project 2, which is responsible for the relaunch of the Millennium Covenant Empire. Arguably. Project Two, which had been making no progress or even been on hold, was finally able to make a breakthrough after she joined, and she became the supreme leader of the entire project. The entire research team was reorganized under her leadership.
Over the years, her research has also reached a very high level. It can even be said that it has succeeded in surpassing the old plans of its predecessors. In terms of results alone, Laice's No. 2 plan can already begin to be put into practical use. It's just that if you want to make a higher level of progress and breakthroughs, with the materials and reserve resources that the Millennium Covenant Empire currently has, it is no longer possible to push it to a higher level.
This is also the reason why the Millennium Covenant Empire put pressure on the Duchy of Lane to obtain Cecilia's source blood and let Dils, the former head of the intelligence department of the Millennium Covenant Empire, infiltrate the Void Principality in an attempt to retrieve Confidential Document No. 4.
Because the No. 2 plan that Laice is in charge of is the Bloodline Awakening Project!
This plan, when it was in the game, the Millennium Covenant Empire also took action, and it did start to appear in the second expansion, and from this point of view, it is completely in line with the current real-world timeline. The outside world has always thought that the Millennial Covenant Empire was finally able to quell this civil strife because the head of the Zoandon family re-entered the battle, but in fact, the re-entry of Duke Putius only accounted for one-third of the role.
The other two-thirds are actually the official use of the Bloodline Awakening Program!
Now, in the thousand-year-old alliance empire, a large number of strong people who have awakened their bloodlines have been really created. Although these bloodlines are only bronze bloodlines, only a very small number of them have obtained silver bloodlines, and there is still a certain degree of difference between the artificial bloodline awakening and the real ancient bloodline, but this is also a real improvement in the strength of the thousand-year-old alliance empire.
Even with this alone, the Millennium Covenant Empire will not lose its national strength due to this civil strife, but will greatly improve the strength of the entire empire.
However, the new emperor of the thousand-year alliance empire was obviously not satisfied with this. He hoped that the artificial bloodline of his empire could become an existence that could truly stand side by side with the ancient bloodline, so he put the idea on Cecilia, but because of the intervention and intervention of Andrew and others, he had no choice but to give up in the end.
And those rebels who suffered a big loss, because of the official entry of the bronze bloodline warriors into the battlefield, finally learned of the existence of Laith, so they managed to attack the research institute where Laith was, in order to capture Laith. This is what makes the emperor on the pure white throne finally unable to keep calm. Command Pusius. The real reason why Zoandon stepped in to suppress the rebellion.
But even so, the institute was breached. Although before the breach. Reis had already initiated the destruction of the Institute, but the rebels had still received some of the bloodline injections. Even sent strong men to pursue Lais. Then a series of news leaked, and in order to block the detection of some people, there was the so-called prisoner transfer, so that Sean and others knew the news.
It can be said that the intervention of Sean and others was purely a misunderstanding.
And without the intervention of Sean and others, Lake would still continue to stay in the black soil and would not run out. And if he doesn't show up, he won't collide with Cecilia. If you don't run into Cecilia, you won't know about Laith's existence and her secrets - arguably, what really forced Lake to decide to start a dead tide and capture Cecilia and Laith was because of the Bloodline Awakening research that Laith possessed.
Even the Lich can't find out the secrets of the bloodline.
However, Laice not only succeeded in discovering the secrets of the bloodline, but was even able to create an artificial bloodline that could allow ordinary people to have the power of the bloodline, which was the reason why Lake was really tempted. And as long as he catches Laith, he doesn't even need Laith's cooperation to directly extract his soul and read the memory. He was able to grasp the secrets of the bloodline thoroughly, and with the help of him to capture Cecilia and Kokire, he was confident that he could create a bloodline that was powerful enough to match the bloodline of all peoples.
Bronze, silver, and gold, all three are collectively known as the basic bloodline.
In fact. The power of the bloodline is based on silver, and there is no such thing as bronze. It's just that in the game, the first bloodline power that players came into contact with and obtained was the artificial bloodline created by the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire. That's why there is a way to call the bronze bloodline. And the silver bloodline, also known as the mutilated bloodline. This is mainly because the power of this type of bloodline is finally formed by the degradation and dilution of the bloodline power of some ancient species through generations, and the power and utility contained in the bloodline are extremely limited.
Like the Norse bloodline, which is the most popular among power players in the Silver Bloodline. It was actually formed by the descendants of the Thor God of the Dawn Era, after the dilution of the bloodline caused by the separation of the ethnic groups from generation to generation. If you want to trace back to the origin, the source of the Nordic bloodline is the blood of the god of thunder in the bloodline of all peoples, and it is a powerful bloodline of the same level as the blood of the ice god of Ace Wintertle.
As for the golden bloodline, it is a higher bloodline than the silver bloodline, but it is essentially diluted by the separation of its own race. However, in terms of bloodline power, it is definitely stronger than the broken silver bloodline, so the golden bloodline also has the nickname of broken bloodline.
And these three are also collectively referred to as the basic bloodline.
However, this so-called foundation is for the players in the game, because the power of the player's bloodline can be gradually improved and changed through continuous upgrades. Like the Nordic bloodline, players can evolve step by step and eventually become the blood of the god of thunder, of course, if the player is not satisfied and wants to cover it to obtain a new bloodline, it is naturally possible.
It's just that for the indigenous people of this world, even the so-called basic bloodline is not so easy to obtain, otherwise there would be no artificial bloodline.
On top of the basic bloodline is the legendary bloodline known as the secondary bloodline.
Those who are qualified to impact the realm of super powerhouses must be strong people who have a legendary bloodline and have completely activated the power of the bloodline. If it is only a basic bloodline, it is not qualified to impact the ranks of super powerhouses at all, and it is already the limit to be able to become a powerhouse at the peak of legends. As for the man-made bronze bloodline, it may be possible to make a strong person who was originally qualified to impact the legendary realm become a real legendary powerhouse, but if you want to impact a higher realm with this, it is absolutely impossible.
It can be said that the ambition of the emperor of the Millennium Covenant Empire is extremely huge - he is not satisfied with the bronze bloodline, but tries to develop a higher-level artificial bloodline.
Of course, this ambition is even more trivial than that of Lake.
This old lich who is like a madman is actually trying in vain to create a bloodline of all people that can be compared to the power of the origin of the world. If he succeeds in creating it, then this can be called a real new bloodline - all the bloodlines of all peoples are actually born after the powerhouses of the Dawn Era in the past obtained a trace of the power of the origin of the world, which is the power that belongs to the most fundamental source of this world, and it is the power that can echo with this world.
After learning these things through his psychic connection with Kokire, even Sean couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Because he had always felt that he was crazy enough, but after analyzing Ryker's true purpose through Kokire's description, he still felt that he was too petty.
Whether it is compared to the new emperor of the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, who is trying to create countless legendary powerhouses through manpower, or the old lich Ryker, who is trying to create the power of the origin of the world, Sean just wants to be worthy of those who follow him and wants to regain the glory of utopia.
It's just that even after knowing this result, Sean has no intention of changing his ideals and goals. (To be continued......)
