Chapter 6 The Mystery of the Bloodline
The powerhouses were all holding their breath at the moment, Ou Ruo's arm was gone, not to mention the transformation of the long sword that had been tempered for thousands of years, and the volume and mass of the residual part were directly reduced by two-thirds, what kind of flame was it, and it was so powerful.
When the blue fire burned, more than one strong man sensed the desolate and deep aura of silence in the blue fire.
It was the destruction of the world, the end of all things.
One sword, just one sword, severely damaged Ou Ruo, whose strength was close to the Heavenly Rank Sacred Domain, this was an overwhelming difference in strength, and everyone understood that if Richard wanted to, this sword could kill Ou Ruo on the spot.
Ou Ruo stood in the air, his eyes glazed, he didn't know what was going on for a while, he looked down at it, and then he lost his voice and said, "My hand, my hand." β
The blue flame at the tip of Lomdok's saber was finally extinguished, but the Count's saber was also a third shorter.
Richard looked at the saber in his hand with some regret, returned it to Lomdok, and said, "It's a pity, it's a good sword, and I will compensate you." β
Lomdok took the remnant sword, tucked it back into its sheath, and said with a smile, "It is enough to be able to see your blow just now, but this sword cannot carry your strength." β
At this moment, Ou Ruo had calmed down, covering the wound on his right shoulder, and said with a gloomy face: "You are already the mortal enemy of Master Fitzlock, and soon you will taste the consequences of offending a future Holy Constructor, now, by reporting your name, you will pay double the price for today's incident." β
Richard leaned back, leaned back in his comfortable chair, and said lightly, "I didn't kill you, but I asked you to go back and inform Fitzlock: because of you, he has succeeded in becoming my enemy, and my name is Richard, Richard Akmund." β
With a bang, the auction hall instantly boiled.
People scrambled to their feet, craned their necks, trying to see what Richard really looked like.
Except for a very few people, most of the nobles present had never seen Richard, and even the portraits that had been circulated were very rare, but outside of the Holy Alliance, Richard was already a legend, and his body was shrouded in many mysterious auras.
Today's youngest Holy Construct Master, the head of the family who single-handedly turned the tide when Akmund was at his weakest, known as the invincible military god who commanded in battle, the most proud student of the legendary mage His Royal Highness Helen Sue and the little white face who soaked her in his hands, went to the continent of Carandor alone, and robbed His Highness of the Mountains and Seas of all the titles of lewd thieves, no matter which one was enough to become the subject of conversation in high society for a whole month.
The heritage and temperament of the thousand-year-old empire were still different, and after the initial shock, the nobles quickly calmed down and restored order.
Ou Ruo had already taken advantage of the chaos to quietly leave, and when he heard Richard's name, he didn't even have room to say a cruel word, and no matter what he said, it would only make the joke bigger.
The price Ou Ruo paid was very heavy, the arm burned by the blue fire could not be restored at all, and in the future, if he used magic to give birth to a new arm, his strength would also plummet, and that quasi-legendary-level long sword was also his small half-worth.
Although Richard did not kill him, it was equivalent to taking half of his life.
Before leaving, Oruo glanced back at Richard and remembered Richard's appearance in his heart, he knew very well the importance of the Mountain Lord's heart to Fitzlock, and he also knew that on the road to the Holy Constructor, no matter what obstacles he encountered, Fizlock would never back down.
As the auction continued, the high-quality lots that surprised the attendees were endless, and the Heart of the Mountain Lord could only be placed in the middle of the small ** part, and could not be the finale.
It's just that it happens to be very important to both Fitzlock and Richard, one is a long-established Grand Constructor, and the other is a newly promoted Holy Constructor, and the collision of the two major constructors makes this Mountain Lord's Heart finally soar for three times the price.
In the end, Richard took five hundred units of divine crystals at the price of two top-level sacrifices, and auctioned several rare materials, and paid the price of a top-level sacrifice.
The auction of the Millennium Empire was really extraordinary, allowing Richard to smash out six top-level sacrifices in one go, not only spending all his savings, but also owing debts to two top-level sacrifices.
However, for the Holy Constructor, two top-level sacrifices were a fifth-order construct, and it only took more than a year, and for Richard, this time could be greatly reduced.
Ou Ruo is right, in terms of wealth, ordinary people really can't compare with constructors.
At the end of the auction, Richard departed accompanied by Lomdok, and many of the nobles prepared to start with Lomdoc to get to know Richard, who, unlike other constructors, was also known for his suits and tailor-made constructs.
And many of the strong people who saw Richard shoot for the first time left with questions, although there were rumors before, but most people always felt that it was a rumor, all constructors are mages, this is Norland's common sense, the holy constructor should be a legendary mage, of course, it is not too strange that a mage can fight hand-to-hand combat, but Richard's sword is showing the pinnacle of combat skills, which is generally the exclusive domain of legendary fighters.
The next day, a shocking news came out among the upper nobles of the Jade Sky Lake.
One of Norland's four Holy Constructors, Richard Akmund, who had just announced his separation from the Holy Alliance, had come to the Emerald Sky Lake, and participated in the Imperial Auction accompanied by the royal agent Lomdok.
Of course, compared to Richard's brilliance, Fitzlock is an excellent background foil.
Not long after the news spread, another, even more exciting news spread on a smaller scale, when the chief appraiser of the Empire, who was present at the auction site, believed that the blue fire that appeared when Richard slashed was very similar to the spark of the Destroying Star, and could even be considered to be of the same origin.
The news really alarmed many of the really big names.
Prince Tumen is a high-ranking and powerful man in the thousand-year-old empire, and this big man who was known as the four masters along with the goshawk back then is now in good shape, and there is not much hair left on the top of his head.
He looks like a big businessman, not a tyrant who controls a powerful party, and only the occasional flash of deep light in his small eyes can make people feel that he is different.
When the news came, Prince Tumen was having breakfast, and while he was dealing with breakfast, he listened to the reports of many developments on the mainland.
When he heard two pieces of news about Richard, Prince Tumen unexpectedly put down his knife and fork and began to think about it seriously.
After a moment he ordered, "Go and fetch Lomdok, and also ask the Cloud Atlas Master to come over, I'll wait for them in the drawing room." β
It didn't take long for Lomdok and the Empire's chief appraiser, Yuntu, to arrive at Prince Tumen's parlor.
It was a distinctly elven-style living room, with many of the furniture naturally grown from trees, and Prince Tumen leaned back on a chaise longue made of vines, his eyes slightly closed, listening to Lomdok and Yuntu tell a little bit about Richard, and interjecting a question or two from time to time.
After more than an hour, the Prince of Tumen sat up straight, showed a contemplative expression, and muttered: "In this way, it is very likely that Richard has mastered the flame of destroying the MiΓ¨ Star, this is not from the construction, but from his bloodline, could it be said that the Akmund bloodline has the ability to control the flame of the Destroying MiΓ¨ Star." β
The Cloud Atlas Master, whose hair was all white and did not have a trace of variegation, said slowly: "I think, this is the case, now the Akmund bloodline can be completely included in the list of Noland's top bloodlines, and in my observation, its potential is probably still above the Golden Moon River of His Highness Mex, and it is also above the Thunder Destroyer of the Holy Alliance Royal Family." β
Tumen's two faint eyebrows, which were almost invisible, were tightly twisted together, and he did not make a sound.
At this time, Lomdok said: "According to the information so far, Richard's real age is twenty-five years old, but nine years have passed since he was sixteen, and Richard has no offspring, which is proof that the bloodline is extremely powerful." β
Prince Tumen smiled playfully: "Interesting, an ancient bloodline, actually hides such a powerful power, Akmund, as far as I know, in the sequence of the abyss, the demons of this branch can only barely be regarded as one of the upper demons. β
Yun Tu said: "But the abyss we know is only one-tenth of the shallow, the real abyss depths, there are not many people who can reach it, let alone any public information, maybe the shallow Akmund is just a branch bloodline of a powerful demon, and in Richard, it is the true source of the bloodline that has begun to awaken." β
Lomdok then added: " In fact, it's not just Richard, this terrible power has been reflected in Richard's father, from the available information, Gordon is not in line with the level of strength at all, the most interesting thing is a rumor, now it doesn't seem to be chasing the wind, it is said that Gordon's first profession is a mage, and when he becomes an adult, he will turn to a war position, this kind of completely illogical rumor, sometimes it may be the closest to the truth, but he obviously has not reached the peak of his strength, and he has fallen into the Luoqi plane, of course, we need to thank the stupid guys of the Holy Alliance, otherwise, we need to face not only Richard, but also an equally terrible Gordonγ β
Prince Tumen finally nodded and said, "So, the Akmund bloodline does have investment value, Lomdok, help me find some Akmund people with strong blood, and try to see what kind of offspring will be produced." β
Yuntu asked, "Why don't you try to win over Richard?" β
Tumen smiled and said, "No, that's a question that the emperor needs to consider, if the emperor loses interest in him, or fails, it will be our turn, as for now, it's not the time." β
At this moment, the Prince's personal manager knocked on the door and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Mex's heard that Richard has arrived at the Jade Sky Lake, and he has already gone to look for him. β
