The World is Sick

"The deeper I went, the more weird the surroundings brought me. Now I have auditory hallucinations, and I always feel that there is something talking to me in my ear."

Maria drank the blood-like potion in the bottle in one gulp, and after recovering some strength, she shook her drowsy head, and her face became even paler.

"Maybe it's because our speed is too fast, and our body hasn't adapted to the surrounding air pressure and environment."

"Would you like to sit down and rest for a night, I'm a little worried about you."

Kevin looked back at the flickering lights in the promenade. The blue-black stone bricks had been soaked in dark red and rotten blood.

All kinds of deep scratches, as well as fragments of clothing and damaged weapons scattered everywhere, are sufficient evidence of the fierce battle the two have experienced along the way.

After getting the Sumeru Gold Cup, opening the mechanism, and entering the unknown area marked on the map, the two were chased and intercepted by endless monsters.

These wandering undead frantically hinder their exploration, as if they are guarding a secret underground.

"No need, I can hold on!"

"To complete the exploration of the underground palace as soon as possible and find out the truth about the recent tremors in the ruins, this is the task my teacher taught me."

Maria rested for a while, propped her body up from the stone platform, lowered her eyes, and her voice gradually became lower in the end.

"After completing these, I can go back and continue to take care of those poor people..."

Silly girl, you still don't want to go against Geman's will, but has he really cared about your feelings?

Moreover, I don't know whether you really don't understand, or you don't want to understand.

The degree of danger in the Holy Grail Dungeon has exceeded your personal limit. To clean up the entire Sumeru ruins is simply an impossible task for you.

At least, not a task that can be completed in a short time.

Kevin looked at Maria's bleak and stubborn back, feeling a little distressed.

In fact, those people were just looking for a reason to throw you and me out of the Star Clock Tower.

Now, they probably can't wait to start experimenting with some taboos.

People, once crazy, are more terrifying than beasts.

"Let's go, we have a long way to go..."

Maria gently exhaled the turbid air in her chest, held the "fallen leaves" tightly, and quickly crossed the porch, exploring forward, her pure pupils gradually turned scarlet, and the child's crying became clearer in her mind.

Under the flickering lights, she could even follow the sound source and see the strange scene deep in the underground palace through the stone bricks when she lowered her head:

In the cozy small room, there are pieces of candles arranged all around, and the soft candlelight illuminates the room.

Two white and tender little hands protruded from the baby cradle in the center, beckoning to her gently, seeking a hug.

Like, the child yearns for the mother...

The huntress closed her eyes slightly, bit her cherry lips, dispelled the absurd illusion in front of her with a slight sting, and looked at the figure behind with a little apology.

It's not that she doesn't want to stop, or turn around.

Some things really cannot escape.

Maria concealed the fact that she came from Cainhurst Castle and was a distant relative of the current blood queen. She fled there just because she didn't want to indulge in killing and blood collection.

I thought that by integrating into human society, I could escape the blood, escape from the past, and live a peaceful life, but in the end it backfired.

The ravages of beasts and the shadow of Innsmouth exhausted her physically and mentally.

And this exploration of the Holy Grail dungeon is even more bizarre.

She actually saw the shadow of the aesthetic design of Cainhurst Castle in the costumes and weapons of these descendants of Sumeru, as well as the sculpture arrangement along the underground palace.

There is no doubt that buried here lies the fateful beginning of the Cainhurst line.

Now, the secrets hidden in the dungeon of the Holy Grail, like poison, deeply attracted her, and began to continuously activate the blood in her body, leading her to reach the root of everything.

"puff!"

"Falling leaves" passed through the throat, filthy blood spattered, and the high-ranking Sumeru descendant holding the scepter wriggled his lips and teeth, leaning towards the ground in a kneeling posture, but halfway it turned into black mist and dissipated.

It seems too simple...

Maria looked at the fallen leaves of the spotless weapon, and then moved her eyes to the scepter left on the ground, with a confused expression.

Just now, the monster seemed to bump into her sword on its own initiative, as if it was deliberately begging for death.

Also, what exactly is he trying to say?

The huntress subconsciously imitated the monster's mouth shape, but just half way through the weird syllable, she froze in place.

It wasn't until Kevin who stepped forward touched her that Maria woke up like a dream, turned around and leaned close to the man's ear, whispering quietly.

"Can you promise me one thing, okay?"

"Anyway, I can live to Yanan, my life is yours, what else is good..."

Kevin was taken aback for a moment, and then teased with a half-smile.

Those cherry lips, as warm as nephrite jade, gently fell on the side of his cheek, but after the brief tenderness, what followed was like a farewell pleading.

"If I get to the bottom, there is something wrong with me, kill me..."

"Do it now, don't hesitate!"

The huntress looked around, her eyes swept over the clothes and weapons left in place by the descendants of Sumeru nearby, and she moaned.

"I really don't want to be like them, who can't find peace after death..."

"Would you like to help you plant the flowers of bright trees on the grave?"

With a cold face, Kevin tapped his fingers on Maria's head, awakening the huntress who was in a certain mood.

Immediately, sharp and proud eyes appeared in the eyes of the man in the darkness.

"What nonsense, with me here, you can't die even if you want to!"

The brewing emotions were dissipated. Maria had mixed feelings and shook her head helplessly. She had to let go of the depression in her heart for the time being and move on.

And under the scrutiny of the pair of silver-white insight eyes behind him, the dense invisible blood threads around are gradually gathering in the body of this huntress, and the majestic vitality is gathering and flowing wantonly in her body.

Chapter 1202 Chapter One Thousand 150 Four Oral Conception

"boom!"

A monster with purple-red carrion hung on its white and dry bones crashed to the ground, and the pervasive blood energy almost formed traces visible to the naked eye, pouring into Maria's body.

At the same time, Kevin also swung his sword and chopped off the heads of two descendants of Sumeru. He kept filtering the whispering mouth shapes of the two monsters before they died, and couldn't help murmuring.

"What the hell are they talking about?"

"May my queen... embrace the Son of Blood..."

Maria looked at the ancient pattern that emerged after drinking blood on the fallen leaves of the weapon, and muttered quietly.

"This is the ancient knightly creed in Cainhurst Castle, and they will fight for it all their lives."

Kevin looked up in surprise, looked at the rare huntress who spoke about these secrets, and asked tentatively pretending to be confused.

"Senior Sister Maria, what is the connection between Queen Sumeru, Cainhurst Castle, and this so-called knight's creed?"

The huntress pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the stone statues hiding their faces on both sides of the huge stone gate.

"In Cainhurst Castle, blood knights will regularly hunt and kill monsters in the forbidden forest, and obtain [filthy blood] from their bodies to dedicate to Queen Annalize."

"And what Annalize needs to do is to absorb these filthy blood, purify and purify them, and finally give birth to [Son of Blood]..."

"This is the common ideal of all blood races. For this reason, they don't mind adding humans to their hunting goals..."

Maria turned her back to Kevin, and the scarlet light in her eyes became more intense.

"To be able to hear the knight's creed handed down from Cainhurst Castle in the Sumeru Underground Palace,"

"I think the blood clan is the continuation of the Sumerian civilization, and the unfinished mission of the Sumerian queen will also be inherited by a new generation of blood clan queens."

"That way, everything makes sense."

Kevin stroked his chin, his face was thoughtful, and his heart suddenly became clear.

The Sumeru Underground Palace is just below Yanan and the Forbidden Forest. It is a huge tomb of the ancient gods. Due to the continuous development of the ruins, the power of the blood of the gods has penetrated into the outer ecological circle.

And the blood of the ancient god was undoubtedly what Cainhurst Castle wanted.

Coincidentally, the werewolves who escaped from Yanan's deterioration, the wandering monsters in the underground palace, and even the humans who had undergone blood therapy all contained more or less the blood of the ancient gods.

These diluted and mixed blood of the ancient gods should be the so-called [filthy blood], and its properties should be similar to the blood stones obtained by hunters.

Therefore, humans and blood races have formed a conflict of interest in order to compete for the Sumeru heritage and the blood of the ancient gods.

It is not difficult to understand why the Church of Healing sent Loglis and his [Executioners] to seal off the Forbidden Forest and keep an eye on Cainhurst Castle.

"May my queen embrace the Son of Blood?"

"Senior Sister Maria, has Queen Annalize succeeded? She has worked hard for so long, how many babies have she had? How old is the child?"

Kevin smacked his mouth and couldn't help asking curiously.

Maria, who stood in front of the blue-gray stone door, was breathless and her body was stiff. She was speechless. She never thought that someone would ask this question.

In the end, the huntress responded vaguely with a hint of embarrassment of blasphemy.

"Not...not yet..."

"It may be difficult for this kind of inherited secret ritual to succeed."

This peculiar concept of asexual reproduction made Kevin suspicious.

"To be honest, I can't even think of how the blood queen gave birth to a child by taking filthy blood?"

"I've never heard of people who can receive Jing successfully by taking it orally..."

"How about let her find a husband and work hard through formal channels?"

boom!

Just as someone was rambling about guessing, Maria, whose body was trembling slightly, turned around suddenly, and the scabbard hit Kevin's head hard.

In the darkness, the hunter's moon-white cheeks were flushed with blood at this moment, and her formerly gentle and calm eyes were a little more angry, and she slashed at Kevin fiercely.

Oral torture, this metaphor is too filthy, and Maria no longer dares to recall the sacred scene when Queen Annalize swallowed the filthy blood.
