Chapter 400: "Red Phase" Pomponazzi

The Red Fort of Xingti is a palace built deep in the mountains by the "Red Prime Minister" in the early days of the founding of the country.

It is called the "Red Fort", but it is not actually red.

This is partly because a large amount of gold was used in its construction. Whenever the sun sets, the darkening sky will cast the golden palace as red as fire.

On the other hand, the "Red Phase" who this Star Antimony believed to have died long ago was actually an immortal child of the Moon. This palace itself was his eternal paradise for enjoyment.

Although on the surface, this popular prime minister has not been involved in state affairs for many years.

But the wealth and connections he had accumulated throughout his long life were sufficient to run and increase his own value. Therefore, he did not need power and could still enjoy himself in the Red Keep day and night.

Even though it was winter, there was no snow in the courtyard. The plants were green and vibrant, and in the center, scantily clad dancers were dancing to the music of an orchestra.

A handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties sat in the main seat. Beside him was a clear spring with many tropical fruits placed on top of it.

The young man was wearing a half-open white robe, and the beautiful and young blood servant was sitting on him, wearing only a white gauze. He half-held her in his arms, twisting her slender waist and making gentle low moans.

Behind him, a pale-faced blood servant with waist-length black hair respectfully served him blood-soaked red wine. The young man lowered his head, took a sip, and then kissed the girl on his body, sharing the blood of another man with her.

Not far away, there was a beautiful woman in her early thirties with a plump figure sitting there.

She held a young girl in her arms, and one foot was on a pale, silent, thinly dressed boy, grinning and rubbing his face. She didn't care about the growing noise from the young man next to her, and was happily admiring the dancers in the courtyard.

The woman paid no attention to the Eye Demon serving her.

But the Eye Demon continued to shake the air as he reported to himself, "When 'Miss Aleister' first appeared, I used my clairvoyance to see her face clearly. Comparing it with Lady Bayard's last appearance, I confirmed it was her, exactly."

"I then used True Sight to peer inside her and confirmed her race was Moonchild.

"Later, when Aiwass's personal maid, Lily, sneaked into Griffith's basement with Miss Aleister's Shadow Demon, I conducted a close-up reconnaissance. I was able to confirm that Lily's profession wasn't a demonologist or a demon. She possessed both the Path of Love and the Path of Adaptation. Perhaps it was her high-level 'Shadow Affinity' that allowed her to accommodate the power of the Shadow Demon.

“At the same time, I also confirmed that Shadow Demon and Lily do not have any contract.

"At the same time, before fleeing, I conducted a final test on the shadow demon within Lily. I was able to confirm that it clearly carried the extremely strong scent of Lady Bayard, who had previously appeared before the reporters.

"From this, we can conclude that Miss Aleister is the long-missing Lady Bayard. She occasionally entrusts her shadow demon to Lily to protect Aiwass when it is inconvenient for her to show up directly."

After hearing what the Eye Demon said, the woman waved her hand casually and wanted it to leave first.

But at this moment, the handsome young man suddenly asked, "Where's the Book of Law? Did Wolfram get it?"

"Wolfram is dead."

The Eye Demon replied calmly, "He died somewhere I couldn't see. I guess he didn't even get the Book of Law."

Hearing this, the young man nodded and signaled the Eye Demon to leave first.

Then the Eye Demon curled up the space around it, slowly shrinking it under the purple electric light, and returned directly to the dream world.

After the Eye Demon left, the woman with peach-colored heart-shaped pupils spoke, "Father, what do you think?"

The young man she called father was Peng Bonazi, the "popular prime minister" in the early days of Xingti's founding.

More than three hundred years have passed since then, but he still hasn't aged at all.

However, although he was called "father", the woman was not his biological daughter.

In the tradition of the Moon Children, after being given a "second life" by a senior Moon Child and cared for through the initial irrational stage, the child can call that predecessor his or her father or mother.

"Bayard..."

Peng Bonazi raised his head and looked at the sky, his tone a little nostalgic.

He said slowly, "It's been a long time since we last met. The last time we met was before the Rift War."

"Father is friends with that lady?"

Emma, ​​who had platinum curly hair, asked curiously, "Why don't you let the Eye Demon take back the holy relic?"

"I guess so. As for that thing, just consider it a gift for an old friend. It's not something precious to her."

Peng Bonazi's mouth curled up slightly: "I still remember that the last time I saw Bayard was at the Crescent Moon Manor."

Arc Moon Manor——

Hearing this terrifying name of depravity, Emma, ​​who is also a child of the moon, smiled knowingly.

It's a place of entertainment where humans are slaughtered and consumed like animals. Once captured or sold, escape is impossible. The few remaining lives are consumed like candles, leaving behind a gruesome trail of blood, eaten as food or toys. The only way to survive is to be purchased as a personal favorite by a powerful figure. But even that doesn't mean the end of suffering.

At the end of the empire, many people would change color and tremble at the mere mention of this name...and this was also the period when the Son of the Moon was at its peak and most powerful.

Today, it's difficult for Star Antimony, Iris, or even the destroyed Narcissus Principality to regain their former glory. Since the founding of the Narcissus Principality, the Moon Children have attempted to rebuild the Arc Moon Manor.

But since the Rift War, every rebuilt Crescent Manor has been nothing more than a poor imitation.

Either it was destroyed, or the slaves could not be controlled and escaped in large numbers, or it went bankrupt due to poor management... There is no longer a decadent place like the Huyue Manor that can easily gather the powerful and wealthy people of the entire continent.

"After that, she became mysterious. And after the Rift War began, I followed Bashir to conquer the world. I never heard of Miss Bayard again."

Peng Bonazi reached out and pinched the blood servant's neck, playing with his chin and earlobes like a cat, and said casually, "Some say she went to the country east of the desert. Others say she's dead... After all, the once-thriving Bayard Group gradually declined, and she never returned to visit."

"Now it seems that she is not dead." Emma followed.

"I guess she's here for the 'holy entity'."

Pomponazzi narrowed his eyes, a scarlet halo flickering in them. "Does she think the divine entity is Aiwass?... That's not impossible."

"Father," Emma asked, "do we still need Julia Heracross? If Aiwass is the divine entity, should we capture him as well?"

Although Emma is the mentor of the giant prince Wolfram, she obviously doesn't care about the life or death of her student at all.

To the Children of the Moon, both humans and giants are merely incomplete races.

Even the "immortal species" like the giants will age. And the giants are a race that has difficulty understanding "love", so it is difficult for them to give birth to the children of the moon.

For inferior species like this, just let them die.

"Yulia still needs to be captured. Without the blood of Heracross, the Herasil Vault cannot be opened."

Pomponazzi hugged the girl, thought for a moment, and then said casually, "Jacob hasn't made a second Heracross in such a long time. I guess he may have run out of materials. Go and get her back. If that doesn't work, at least get her heart back. As for Aiwass..."

He pondered for a long time and took another sip of blood wine.

"Forget it, don't touch Aiwass. Give Miss Bayard some face."

The handsome young man smiled and said, "When I met her, she wasn't even an adult yet, and was very resistant to these things. Now it seems that the beauty has obviously started to indulge in sexual activities... I don't want that crazy woman to disturb my peace."

"Do you attach great importance to her?"

"Of course. She has reached the fourth level before reaching adulthood. She is the most talented Moon Child I have ever met."

Peng Bonazi exclaimed, "As long as she completely releases her suppressed desires, she can easily reach the fifth energy level. With the power of the fifth energy level, it's not surprising that she wants to capture a shadow demon.

"And I did hear that she once hung out with a shadow demon, presumably bewitching her into the path of transcendence. Now with the shadow demon in her grasp, her combat power is equivalent to that of a top-tier dual-path fifth-level warrior. I'm not saying you can't defeat her, but it's best to avoid trouble whenever possible. After all, if you can't suppress the power, the 'succubus' within you will burst forth. It's best to wait until the Tail Ring ritual is complete before completing your demonic transformation."

"Transcendence and Love..."

Emma stared at Pomponazzi with her rosy eyes, her expression becoming serious and cautious. "Father, does she also know... about that advancement?"

"You said [perfect person]? How is that possible..."

Pomponazzi was about to burst out laughing, but after he smiled, he felt something was wrong, so he gradually faded his smile: "That's possible."

As we all know, "humans" are the sons of the Snake Father and the Eternal Self. Because of this, humans are the race most likely to give birth to the Son of the Moon.

Among the Children of the Moon, there is a saying that if one can reach the sixth energy level in both the paths of transcendence and love, one can reach the state of "perfect man" and obtain an extremely powerful job change.

"It's possible that she's pursuing that path...

"Now she's pursuing Aiwass... Could it be that she wants the fragment of Tiansi within him? To reach the sixth energy level and become a perfect human again..."

Peng Bonazi thought for a moment, his expression becoming serious. "Try not to become hostile to Bayard, understand? Now that the Mage Tower is ready to make a move, it's best for us not to cause any new trouble."

"—Go and explain to her clearly that we only want Yulia, only the blood of Heracross. We don't want Aiwass, we don't want the Holy Entity, we don't want the Book of Law... If you put it that way, she should understand and won't oppose me."

"OK."

Emma nodded in response, casually kicked the boy away from her feet, then stood up and saluted with a smile: "When I come back, please reward me...father."

"Go, my little succubus."

Pomponazzi laughed.
