Following Lucius's footsteps, after entering the small room, Reimer couldn't help but whisper, "You, you are really bold, are you not afraid of any danger?"

Without waiting for Lucius to respond, a hoarse voice sounded in the room: "Your Highnesses, please rest assured, the old decay has no way to threaten you." ”

The sudden hoarse voice made Reimer stunned for a moment, only to realize that the room was not very large, and in front of him and Lucius, a scrawny old man, sitting cross-legged on a rattan mat, with a pair of bright eyes, as if two bright lights were staring at the two of them.

Reimer took two steps back, as if he didn't expect that there was an old man in the room, and he was even more startled by the old man's appearance.

On the contrary, Lucius was calmer, bowed down and saluted the old man, and said, "Hello old man, you should be the village chief in the mouth of the young man before, I don't know what the village chief is doing when he sees us?"

The old man raised his head, looked at Lucius and Reimer, and let out a laugh like a dilapidated bellows: "Hahaha, I really didn't expect that when I was about to die, I would be able to meet two highnesses, and it is really a blessing to be able to meet two highnesses with royal blood." ”

Seeing the old man's startled appearance, Lei Mo couldn't help frowning slightly, and said a little impatiently: "Old man, what is the matter with you coming to us?"

The old man was not angry in the face of Reimer's reprimand, but smiled and said, "As a descendant of the king's blood, shouldn't you also respect the old man?" Besides, I know what you want the most, shouldn't you respect me?"

Hearing this, Reimer's expression changed suddenly, and he took two steps forward to approach the old man and said, "You, do you know where the inheritance is?"

In the face of Reimer's questioning, the old man coughed violently, and he couldn't stop the half-loud sound of "cough, cough, cough......".

Seeing this, Reimer could only reluctantly take two steps back, so that the old man could take a few breaths. There was even a faint worry that the old man would cough to death like that.

Fortunately, the old man coughed for a while, then gradually calmed down and took a few deep breaths.

The old man adjusted his breath and continued: "This descendant of the king's blood is really impatient. ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Lucius and said, "This descendant of the king's blood is more stable, and the old man wants to remind you that you can get more if you can be stable." ”

Reimer was already mad at this point. He couldn't wait to find out what the old man knew.

However, he didn't dare to ask the old man again, for fear that if he asked again, the old man's weak body might not be able to withstand it.

After waiting quietly for a long time, the old man finally came to his senses and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, I'm old." It's easy to get distracted, in fact, the intention of the two of them is very clear, it's just. If you want to get the legacy, you need to get rid of the priests at the altar first. ”

Reimer suddenly said stinkily: "Those priests, of course, have to be dealt with, and they dare to be rude to this king. ”

The old man smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness." Don't underestimate the priests, the ones out there are just little minions, really powerful priests. They were at the altar, and they had a lot of power, and they were able to manipulate some of the altar's power. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Reimer was shocked: "What? they, they stole the inheritance power of the altar?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, many years ago, for some reason, the seal of the altar was unlocked, although it was not completely broken, but a large amount of energy was leaked, and after that, those priests in the altar began to steal the power of the inheritance to strengthen themselves." ”

Hearing this, Lei Mo was immediately annoyed: "Damn it, it turns out that the last time I lured me to open the seal, it was actually they who wanted to steal the inheritance? Damn, damn it." ”

Seeing that Reimer was annoyed and angry, and had no time to take care of anything else at this time, Lucius became more calm and asked in a low voice: "Old man, in my opinion, if the altar seal is loosened, I am afraid it will affect this oasis of your existence, right?

The old man glanced at Lucius approvingly, sighed and said, "Yes, that's right, this oasis is maintained by relying on the power of inheritance, and once the power of inheritance disappears, there is no way for the oasis to continue to exist." ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused, his eyes suddenly burst into fierceness, and he said to Lucius and Reimer: "So, those fellows, start watering the ancient tree in the altar with human blood, so as to maintain the vitality of the ancient tree, and thus the vitality of the oasis. ”

"What, irrigate ancient trees with human blood?" Not only Lucius, but even Reimer, who was still angry, was shocked.

Lucius thought for a moment and said, "So, in this oasis, there is also this ancient tree, which maintains the vitality here?"

The old man nodded: "Yes, back then, the King of Red Hearts left a total of thirteen ancient trees, of which twelve were distributed throughout the empire, and one was in the imperial capital. ”

Lucius and Reimer didn't interrupt the old man, and quietly listened to the old man's words: "The thirteen trees of life are not only the inheritance of the King of Hearts, but also the foundation of maintaining life in the sea of sand, just like the oasis we are in, relying on that ancient tree to maintain life. ”

Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but exclaim, "So, what we see is not an illusion, but a real existence in this oasis?"

The old man seemed to know what Lucius was seeing, he shook his head and said, "No, the ancient tree you see is not the ancient tree of this oasis, it is the king tree in the imperial capital. ”

Reimer suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "I see, so to speak, the huge wooden cart outside is actually filled with human blood?"

The old man nodded undeniably: "Yes, there is human blood in it, which is used to water the ancient tree." ”

"Well, how much blood does that need? If you want to fill it all with such a huge wooden cart, I'm afraid that all the people in your entire village will not be able to fill it, right?"

Facing the surprise of Lucius and Reimer, the old man sighed helplessly: "Yes, that cart is not only filled with the blood of the people in our village, but also some other villages, compared to those villages in the depths, we are just a small village. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Lucius and Reimer looked at each other, and both of them saw a strong killing intent in their eyes.

Obviously, neither Lucius nor Reimer would allow this kind of thing to happen, and it is simply sensational that in order to keep the tree of life alive, it is simply too sensational to irrigate it with blood.

Reimer said to the old man with some excitement: "Don't worry, old man, since I have come, I will never let that cruel thing continue to happen, you can rest assured, I will protect you, I will personally go to the altar and put those damned priests to death." ”

Looking at Reimer's high-spirited appearance, the old man seemed a little excited, but before the old man could speak, a young man rushed in outside.

The young man shouted at the old man with blood on his face: "Grandpa the village chief, no, it's not good, those priests' reinforcements are coming. ”

When Lecius heard this, he was just about to go out, but was pushed away by Reimer, who turned to the young man who rushed in and said, "Lead the way, and this network will personally clean up those scum." (To be continued......)
