Delusion Master

Bai Yuan stood up, took two steps closer, and still maintained a not-so-close personal distance with Wrynn.

Wrynn seemed a little disappointed, but he didn't show it too much. He just told him to help himself up, walked to a wall in the bedroom, and pressed his palm on the deer head decoration on the wall.

Magical waves emanated from the antlers, and the walls slid open to reveal the secret room behind.On the stone table deep in the secret room, there was a round shield.The round shield is made of unknown material, it has the coldness of metal and the luster of jade, without any pattern decoration on the whole body, it looks very simple.

"Go and take it," said the king.

Bai Yuan walked over and touched the edge of the shield with his fingers.

Uther watched with bated breath from behind him, seeing that the shield hadn't moved, he couldn't help but let go of his clenched fists, and wiped his face with his hand as if trying to hide his expression.

Wrynn's face was full of disappointment, and he let out a long sigh.

Wei Lin took a panoramic view of their reactions, twitched the corners of his lips mockingly, and stepped forward to pick up the shield.

"—Don't touch it!" Wrynn yelled a step too late, Wei Lin had already picked up the shield, put the inner deerskin glove on Bai Yuan's left arm, and adjusted it to a suitable position.

His movements are neat and natural, just like a wife packing for her husband who is going out, and a soldier putting on his armor for his comrades going into battle.

The shield suddenly released a dazzling blue streamer, like thousands of stars flying away from their original orbits, converging on Bai Yuan's arm.

Uther couldn't bear the glare, and raised his hand to cover his face.

Blue light cruising on the shield, sizzling, engraved a turning pattern, and finally intertwined into a rune array with a lightning emblem in the center, exuding a violent thunder breath.

After the final outline of the magic circle was completed, the dazzling blue light disappeared.

The shield looked brand new, flashing tiny bluish-purple currents from time to time, eager to try in the hands of the new owner.

"Hey, the white costume will turn dark as soon as it wakes up!" Wei Lin touched the shield surface curiously, and secretly absorbed the electric current flowing to his fingertips into the space inside his body.

Wrynn turned his worries into joy: "It seems that Austin has chosen you as the new holder of the Thunder Shield. The light just now is much stronger than the one I took over more than 30 years ago. I hope you can be more powerful." Make good use of its abilities.”

Bai Yuan took off his shield, put it back on the stone table, and said, "May I know what the legacy of the two other apostles of the Holy Spirit is?"

"Of course." Wrynn signaled everyone to follow out of the secret room, closed the door of the magic mechanism, and then asked Uther to send an order to the guards outside the hall.

Not long after, a young nobleman walked into the palace. He looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender figure, wearing a long button-up wine red coat and leggings, with a lace ribbon around his neck, and a monocle. Smart and polite.Behind him was a tall and burly male attendant, with rough and strange appearance, blue complexion, huge and deep wounds and traces of stitches on his head and face, as if he had been split into several pieces and then stitched together finely.

The young nobleman saluted the king respectfully.Wrynn introduced to Bai Yuan: "This is the only son of the Grand Duke of Fran - Sirno Fran, and I have given him to inherit his father's title."

Bai Yuan asked: "If I remember correctly, the Principality of Fran has fallen into the hands of the church, the Duke's family has been expelled from the country, and the Pope issued an edict calling it blasphemy. May I ask the specific situation?"

Sir Nor's eyes turned red immediately, and the shadow of grief cast over his fair and delicate face.But Wrynn nodded slightly at him. He controlled his emotions and said in a voice as calm as possible: "The Fran family has a strong interest in alchemy. My father established an alchemy academy and a huge laboratory. Countless He has been studying the mysteries of life for ten years. Just last year, he realized his dream of creating humanoid creatures that perfectly integrate machinery and life, and gave them a collective name - 'Frankenstein', which means Made for 'Fran'."

Standing behind Bai Yuan, Wei Lin suddenly remembered that there is indeed a laboratory monster named "Franken" in the game "Hunting Era", which was created by an alchemist obsessed with biochemistry.They have a human-like appearance, as well as the hardness and combat power of large mechanical weapons, but their thinking ability is extremely low, and they can only produce some instinctive desires and primitive emotions.

"I didn't expect the old Duke Fran to be a scientist." Wei Lin couldn't help complaining: If this were in the real world, he might win some international award in biology and be sprayed like a dog by human rights organizations.

Sirno said bitterly: "The church obviously doesn't think so. They believe that the creation of life can only be the unique ability of gods. If any human dares to set foot in this field, it must be a blasphemous demon. My father was assassinated and my family was killed. Deportation is not just for this obvious reason.”

"Anything else?" Wei Lin asked.

Hierno took a deep breath, turned to the male attendant behind him, and stretched out his hand to unbutton his coat, revealing the well-developed muscles of the chest and abdomen, as well as the huge criss-cross stitches on the flesh.He quickly undid one of the sutures, opening the ribcage—

Wei Lin and Bai Yuan saw the wriggling internal organs, wrapped and surrounded by alloy bones and rotating metal parts. The scene in front of them was terrifying and absurd, just like a huge mutant in a nightmare, which was pieced together from parts of countless different creatures. The whole body is protruding metal brackets, but it has a human face.

But at the same time, it gives people an indescribable sense of shock - it hatched from the hands of human beings, is the product of a certain aspect of human wisdom developed to the extreme, and represents human beings' never-ending thirst for knowledge, prying into the origin of the world and life Mysterious ambition.

Near the heart of this "Franken", there are two conspicuous gears inlaid, one big and one small, one black and the other white, constantly biting and running like a day and night cycle, emitting a soft shimmer.

"The so-called 'blasphemy' is nothing more than a high-sounding excuse," Hierno gritted his teeth with a dismal expression, "The Pope's real goal is this."

"This is……"

"The relics of the only pair of children among the apostles of the Holy Spirit, Gemini Siva and Thea, my father made them into the power source of 'Franken'."

Wei Lin muttered in a low voice: "Small nuclear reactor? Iron Man, hello!"

Hierno closed the chest shell, pulled out strands of light red metal thread from his fingertips, and re-sewed up the wound.The artificial man remained expressionless the whole time, allowing him to fiddle with it.

"Not long ago, the chief astrologer of the palace divined a prophecy - 'The seven stars meet in the northern sky, when the night engulfs the day, the Son of God will be born from flame and light, and take over the kingdom on earth.'" Wrynn said in Slowly sat down on the cushioned chair, and said wearily, "The Association of Astrologers and many scholars have discussed and studied all day and night, and the final interpretation is that the Pope will receive all the power of the seven apostles of the Holy Spirit and become the Son of God." , to rule the entire Soul Continent—"the kingdom on the ground" not only refers to humans, but also includes other races such as orcs, dwarves, and elves."

"This prophecy cannot be made a reality! The Supreme God guides and protects all living beings on the continent, and will never send a 'son of God' to oppress and enslave us. This is not God's will, this is Wang Yulun He is the real blasphemer!" Prince Uther was filled with righteous indignation.

"This prophecy sounds familiar to me... By the way, Ye Quan also said something similar, his dream of omens." Wei Lin said.

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows at him from an angle that no one else could see: Do you want to show that kid?

Wei Lin: Of course, the whip must be whipped to the key point.

"Who is Nightspring?" Uther asked.

"A young dark elf who claims to be the 'Reborn Apostle of the Holy Spirit', we met him in the ruins of the jungle temple in Jihua County. This little ghost can sense the breath of Meili's bones, maybe he really has a relationship with the ranger Ye What is the connection?" Wei Lin replied.

Wrynn stood up abruptly: "Quick, let me meet him!"

Bai Yuan said: "I will arrange him in a hotel in the city. If Your Majesty is willing to receive him, I will go and bring him into the palace."

The two bid farewell to the king, and they didn't go far after leaving the gate of the palace. Hierno hurried over from behind with Franken. "Wait, Your Excellency, Commander." He caught up panting, supported the pillar for a while, and then he calmed down, "I want to go to the hotel with you and meet that dark elf."

"Why?" Wei Lin asked.

Hierno took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "With the power of Gemini, I can sense the breath of other apostles of the Holy Spirit. If that dark elf is a liar, there is no need to take him into the palace and waste your majesty's time. Offensively, what if he's a church spy?"

Wei Lin felt that he wasn't telling the truth, at least he didn't tell the whole story, so he smiled and said, "Don't bother Mr. Duke, we will check his identity carefully. Besides, is this conveying His Majesty's will, or your own?"

"I... Your Majesty has no objection to this..."

"But there is no order? Then I will assume by default that His Majesty will leave this matter to Bai Yuan and I. The Duke has just suffered the pain of losing his father, so he should go back to his room to take a good rest and adjust his mood!"

Shirno choked on him, and was a little embarrassed to answer.

Wei Lin could see that this little duke was probably well protected by his father, with little experience and a thin skin, and a bookish air, he was suitable for being a poor scholar, not suitable for dealing with people of all kinds.

Hilno hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly: "I once met a girl from the dark elf tribe, and she had a relationship with her...but she left me and went back to the underground city, so I wanted to ask this dark elf girl alone. Elf boy, see if you can get news about her."

Wei Lin whistled and sighed: "You slept with a female dark elf? With all due respect, for your small body, she didn't fuck you to death. She really meant something to you. We I can take you to see Yequan, but whether he knows and is willing to tell is another matter."

This blunt statement is really straightforward!Hierno blushed and had to thank him.

Wei Lin smiled and said: "You're welcome, and I'm very interested in your artificial bodyguard. Can you borrow me for research? Don't worry, after I disassemble him into eight pieces, I promise to put them back together as they were. There will only be more parts. Come out, no less."

Shirno was very embarrassed, but he still maintained his usual gentle tone: "This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate. I'm not worried about your reputation, but... Franken is slow, irritable, and difficult to communicate. If it wasn't The alchemist of our family may be accidentally injured by him..."

Wei Lin laughed loudly: "Just kidding, don't take it seriously!"

"You..." Shirno was speechless.

"Don't you come and go, I'm just a commoner, if you insist on being so polite, don't you have to bow your knees to the Duke every day?"

"No, no, I don't like to talk about politeness."

Wei Lin patted him on the shoulder: "Then let's go, Shirno. Besides, you have to strengthen your body and exercise, for the sake of future sexual happiness."

The little duke was choked again, so he had no choice but to leave the palace silently, following behind Bai·Airibuli·Grand Knight and Wei·Buxiude·Rogue Commoner.

More than an hour later, they returned to the "Longsha Gem" hotel in the western trade area of ​​the city. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a mess all over the floor, and the boss fell on the floor with his head bleeding.

Bai Yuan immediately helped him up and performed the holy light healing technique.The boss's bleeding gradually stopped and he woke up from a coma.

"What happened, Levi, who hurt you?"

"The son of the Duke of Anjou, a well-known dandy in the city, with a group of guards and two high-level mages, broke into the room where the dark elves were questioned... I didn't say anything, and they beat me..."

Bai Yuan helped him lie on the sofa, and quickly bandaged the wound: "You rest first, I'll go upstairs and have a look."

A group of people quickly went up to the second floor. They saw guys dressed as guards everywhere in the hallway. They didn't know if they were dead or alive. There were traces of magic flames on the surrounding walls.They rushed into Yequan's room and found the corpses of two mages and a young nobleman.

Chirno squatted down, turned his face to look, and said, "Pierre, the second son of the Duke of Anjou, seems to have just died."

Wei Lin looked around and found that the dark elf boy was gone: "Yequan killed them all, but where did he go?"

Bai Yuan carefully inspected the traces of the fighting in the house, and went all the way to the window sill, and found a few drops of blue liquid, and something corroded the window frame to form a series of potholes.He rubbed it with his fingertips and sniffed it: "The blood of the dark elves, and the breath of dark magic."

Wei Lin leaned over, looked at the corroded window frame, and said, "It looks like an acid bomb... Are those black-robed warlocks?"

"Jamol's soul escaped, and it is very likely that he was repaired and instructed by someone to make a comeback." Bai Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Tsk, it looks like there are two groups of people. Yequan took care of the dude, but failed to deal with the destruction warlock. If it falls into the hands of that old Black Mountain demon, the brat will suffer." Wei Lin looked sympathetic.

Shirno was a little nervous: "That dark elf boy was taken away? We have to rescue him!"

"Wei Lin continues to follow the traces, I'll get a mount." Bai Yuan jumped from the window on the second floor and ran towards the Temple of God.

Wei Lin went out of the hotel gate, and found some blue bloodstains at the end of the alley, extending towards the direction of the moat.While running, he never forgot to care about the frail Duke: "Are you okay, Hierno?"

"No...I'm going to be rude." The little duke was about to die from running, but he had no choice but to grab Franken's clothes.

The unusually tall monster stopped walking, stretched out his hand to fish it out, lifted Shirno up, and placed it on his broad shoulders, as if wearing a wine-red slender ribbon on his body.

The Duke held his thick neck full of stitches and sat firmly, heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Wei Lin, "Sorry, this is not elegant."

Wei Lin smiled and said, "It's okay, I've seen any ugly scenes."
