Chapter 822: "Little Tail"
Mobile reading
As the last of the crown was bought by the Comerel family for a sky-high price, the feast came to an end, and most of them returned to their lodgings in carriages, except for a few who were genuinely interested in sculpture and painting.
There is no doubt that although they failed to win the most valuable treasure, they have more or less gained, especially the man's move of giving away hundreds of thousands of gold coins without blinking an eye, which is definitely enough to become the most exciting news in the aristocratic circle, and even the Cormier royal family has to reconsider how to deal with this matter.
But none of this had much to do with Henry, who was sitting on a chair in a break room at the moment, squinting at Ali? Hassan? Abdul? Majid? Tikriti.
I have to say that this Kalinshan nobleman is indeed very talented in business, in the auction just now, he quietly raised the price of 50% of the goods by 20%, and very accurately estimated the psychological price of many people, worthy of being an outstanding talent who can lead the family to rise.
Since there is no problem with talent, the only thing to worry about now is loyalty. Because the Kalinshan nobles are so notorious for their morality, betrayal is completely commonplace for them, and sometimes they choose to stab their allies at the most critical moments.
Henry doesn't want the chess game he worked so hard to lay out, and finally be ruined because of someone's betrayal, so he always exudes a terrifying momentum, intending to leave a shadow of Yan zhòng in the middle-aged psychology in front of him, so that he will feel trembling when he thinks of himself in the future, fear is always one of the best ways to make a person dare not betray lightly.
Ali obviously felt the great pressure, the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down, and the beige robe was soaked throughout, but he didn't dare to move, so he sat tremblingly on the chair, bowing his head like a prisoner waiting for the verdict.
The strange scene lasted for a full ten minutes, and Henry felt that it was almost over, so he cleared his throat and said, "How, have you thought about it?" Remember. Once you make a choice, there is no way out, you and your family will be a pawn from now on, and you will obey my arrangement in every move, even if it is ruined. ”
"Of course, I've thought it through a long time ago, and it's my honor to be your pawn, no matter what the order. I can guarantee that it will be done without a bad score. Ali hurriedly knelt down and swore an oath. He had already given up in order to be able to avoid this catastrophe, anyway, he was not used to how harsh the conditions were. Promise to come down first, and then talk about the future, as long as people don't die, there will be a turnaround.
"Hehe, in that case, stretch out your right hand." As he spoke, Henry stretched out a glowing finger, knowing that there was a rather terrifying magical power gathered on it without asking.
Although Ali was a little scared, he still raised his hand honestly, and he nervously watched as the scarlet magic aura began to penetrate into his skin little by little, followed by an indescribable sharp pain that instantly flooded into his brain. The whole person began to convulse involuntarily, and in order not to let himself cry out, his teeth bit his lips.
Henry looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was struggling to endure, and nodded approvingly: "Yes, I like your tenacity. Don't worry, not only is this spell harmless to your body, but it also gives you some wonderful powers. ”
As soon as the words fell. The last stream of energy poured into Ali's palm, tearing the flesh and skin in an instant, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, slowly forming a scar like a claw, and the power of evil and filth kept rising from the inside, spreading to the entire arm in the blink of an eye.
He watched as his arms grew thicker and thicker. And it also grew red scales and barbs, and asked in surprise: "This...... What kind of power is this?! ”
"The power of the demons, I fuse a part of the demon's flesh into your arm, and then cause muscle and bone mutations. How, does it feel like the strength has become a lot bigger? Henry said with a playful smile.
Obviously, he didn't have a good heart at all when he did this, and that piece of demonic flesh belonged to Balorflame Demon Colby. This also means that when he needs to, he can always let his servants activate the filth contained in it, completely transform it into a demonic form, and then directly control the other party's thoughts.
Ali moved his demonic arm slightly, touched the corner of the table slightly, and before he could exert himself, a piece of hard wood was broken off, and his sharp nails were like blades, easily cutting through the marble floor.
As a not very clever warrior, he immediately understood what this meant, such terrifying claws were enough to tear a heavily armed warrior in half, and even pull out the enemy's heart with a single poke.
"It's powerful! This...... Does this power really belong to me?! Ali's face finally showed a hint of greed.
Under the threat of death from the Talisman Society, he began to realize that money and power were not enough to ensure his life, and that only his own strength was the most important thing.
"That's right, this demon arm is now part of your body, and you can switch between normal and demonic forms at any time. Remember, don't use it lightly unless you have to, especially in public, and you should be aware of the attitude of most gods toward demons. In addition, take this note early tomorrow morning to the third house on the left side of the city gate, and my men will arrange for you to be escorted and manned. ”
Henry finished placing a note with a code word on the table, then turned and left the lounge. He also had to prepare a ritual for Sheena to increase the power of the bloodline, so there was no time to waste.
After getting acquainted with the demon's arm for a while, Ali hurriedly regained his human form and hurriedly left the palace. There was a faint excitement in his eyes at the moment, and he didn't know whether he was happy to resolve the crisis or happy because he had gained strength.
In the moonlight of the night, Henry soon made his way through the quiet streets to the door of the Mage's Tower. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped what he was doing, and said without looking back: "Come out!" You've kept your breath perfectly hidden, but it's of no use to me. ”
Soon, out of the corner alley came a petite female figure, she was wearing a long purple dress, her face was veiled, her body was shaking involuntarily because the weather was too cold, it was Ali's daughter Esma.
Seeing this, Henry immediately took off his cloak and wrapped the girl, sighed slightly and asked, "Why don't you stay in the palace." Don't you know that it's cold out there and will freeze you to death? ”
"I ...... I am the master's...... Shadow...... In the ...... Didn't get a new order before ...... One...... Be sure to follow the left and right and listen to the dispatch. Esma's purple lips trembled, and she finished the sentence in fits and starts.
"Well, I was negligent."
Henry shook his head helplessly, and directly took the girl's hand and brought her into the mage tower. He almost forgot that he had such a little tail behind him, and because he had been trained to exterminate humanity, Esma had no idea what it meant to be alive beyond the orders of his master.
That is to say. If one day he doesn't remember to let the girl eat, then the delicate-looking doll will starve herself to death.
Even the basic physiological needs of a person can be discarded through guò training. Henry couldn't imagine how perverted and cruel these guys could be to torture a group of underage children.
But thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was not qualified to despise the other party, after all, he also let Robert pass some psychological suggestion and hypnotic methods, and secretly trained a group of killers and assassins, and they were generally between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, the only difference was that they only abandoned humanity when performing tasks, and they were usually similar to ordinary people.
The temperature inside the mage tower is maintained all year round, so once you enter. Esma took off her cloak, folded it neatly, and knelt on the ground with both hands, and her cautious appearance made people feel a little pitiful.
But Henry knew that these movements had become a habit after years of training, and it would take at least two years to correct them.
It's a pity. He didn't have so much time to waste on a girl, so he took the cloak and put it on his body again, then pointed to the sofa in the hall and said, "You go over there first to rest, if you are sleepy you can sleep, I will ask the Golem to bring you something to eat and drink, and the toilet is at the second door around the corner." The bathroom is on the opposite side of the toilet, remember? ”
In order to prevent similar accidents from happening again, he explained everything clearly, for fear that a girl would be accidentally raised to death.
"Yes, I'll stay here and wait for your orders." Esma stood up and bowed, and walked to the couch alone, sitting motionless, like a lonely puppet. It looks a little bleak.
Henry sighed again with some helplessness, and turned to walk upstairs. He didn't remember how many times he sighed, and it seemed that he had to find a way to make the girl look like a person, otherwise something would go wrong sooner or later.
As soon as he arrived at the workshop, the first thing he did was to tell the Golem to prepare food and drink for Esma, then took out a bottle of the blood of the primeval red dragon and began to draw magic patterns on the ground. This work must be done before midnight, as the best results can only be achieved with the help of the special power of the bright moon in the sky.
For the half-dragon people, such a chance is only once, so they must be extra careful, once they fail, not only will they not lose their strength, but they will also lead to the degradation of their bloodline, especially on the premise that Fairkrage is dead, there is no room for redemption.
Henry, who was in a state of concentration, completely lost track of time, and when he finished the last step, Taling's deep voice suddenly sounded: "Master, your friend Lady Sheena is already at the door, do you want her to come in?" ”
"Of course, let her come to me right away. Also, how long is it until midnight? Henry asked, examining the omission.
"It's less than half an hour, and if you're planning on doing the ceremony, it's best to do it five minutes early." Taling replied meticulously.
"It seems that there is still time, I hope that there will be no business trips at that time." After saying that, Henry stood up and stretched, and then pushed aside all the things in the room to prevent the turbulence of magic during the ritual and cause unnecessary damage. (To be continued.)
