Chapter 885 The Secret of the Apostles (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)



Of course, it was the process of planting the spy that gave the fox-faced Serpico a deep shock.

Because he saw with his own eyes that all the knights, including the eldest lady, were touched by a humanoid monster with slender limbs, pale skin without hair, and swollen yellow eyes with long pupils. After just a few seconds, identical copies appeared.

These terrifying monsters can even accurately tell all the secrets in the hearts of the cloned people, and can also imitate their tone, habits and movements.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, even the most familiar person would find it difficult to find any flaws.

The creepy and eerie feeling made Serpico feel his scalp tingling and his hands and feet cold.

You know, he originally planned to use some clever tricks to rescue Farnese who was under house arrest.

But now that he is surrounded by a group of monsters that can transform at any time, he has completely given up the unrealistic ideas in his heart and is ready to do his promising job as a spy and guide peacefully.

For no other reason, I just hope that the other party can treat my sister a little better because I am still useful.

As for other requests, they didn't even dare to mention them.

Because after witnessing the horror of these monsters and the power of muskets, cannons, grenades, and barrels of explosives, he realized that Zuo Si's rise was almost inevitable.

Other armies composed mainly of feudal nobles and knights would never be able to defeat this powerful army on the battlefield. This army was well-disciplined, well-equipped, and highly motivated, where even ordinary soldiers had the opportunity to be promoted to generals.

To be exact, they would be crushed to pieces in the first battle and would not have any chance of winning at all.

The most terrible thing is that there is one complete difference between wars using hot weapons and wars using cold weapons, and that is the horrific death rate.

Why did all European countries begin to gradually shift from the original volunteer system to the compulsory military service system starting from the French Revolution, and even further developed a series of concepts such as citizenship and national consciousness in order to trick more soldiers into going to the front lines to fight?

The answer is that with the development of thermal weapons, the cost and price of war are becoming increasingly high.

The nobles could no longer wear sturdy armor and go to the battlefield as they did in the era of cold weapons. Even if they were defeated, they did not have to worry about being killed. Instead, they could come back safe and sound by paying a ransom, and then hold their breath to find an opportunity to get back on track.

In other words, thermal weapons have brought about fundamental changes in the form of war, and have also accelerated the breaking of the aristocracy's monopoly on military force.

If we want to fight it, we must carry out drastic reforms.

Such reforms would enable the lower-class common people to gain the power to resist the rule of the aristocracy, and often a mutiny or riot would sweep the king and the nobles into the dustbin of history.

But if there is no reform, the result will be defeat, destruction, and then the entire country will be conquered and annexed.

The history of modern Europe on Earth has been driven by hot weapons wars, which have led to continuous and drastic social changes.

Of course, Serpico might not know this, but he was aware of the terrifying power of this new regime and Zuo Si, its supreme ruler.

It's like a snowball rolling down from the top of a snowy mountain.

Maybe it is very small at the beginning, but as it rolls faster and faster and rolls farther and farther, it will eventually become a behemoth that can submerge everything.

As an extremely rational person, Serpico would never risk his sister's life and future.

This can be seen when the eldest daughter is asked to get married at the age of sixteen.

He was well aware of the serious consequences of doing so, and he was unable to give his sister a happy future.

In order to make Farnese live a better life, Serpico would be willing to make any sacrifice.

Zuo Si keenly grasped this point, and thus was able to turn it into a chess piece under his control.

After all, a "family hero" like this with very obvious weaknesses is simply a gift package delivered to your door.

As for the plot where one rushes into the enemy base and kills everyone to complete a stunning rescue for family or friends, it only appears in action blockbusters that lack logic and rationality.

Under normal circumstances, from the moment the alarm is triggered by the attack, the kidnappers should directly drag the hostage out and cut off an arm or a leg, or dig out both eyes and cut off the tongue, using the bloodiest and cruelest way to force the hostage to show up and kill him.

Therefore, anyone with a little bit of common sense and brains would never do such a stupid thing.

That is not a rescue at all, but forcing the other party to kill their relatives and friends.

As the saying goes, a rational and smart person is always easier to deal with than a stupid and crazy person.

Because all the thoughts and actions of the former are predictable, but the latter is like a lunatic, you never know what outrageous thing he will do in the next second.

Obviously, Serpico is a typical example of the former.

Therefore, Zuo Si was not afraid of how smart he was, but was afraid that he was not smart enough and could not clearly realize the huge gap between them.

"Your Majesty, I will return to the Dharma King's Hall now. Do you have any other instructions?"

Serpico bowed respectfully and asked in a low voice.

At this moment, he was surrounded by hundreds of shapeshifters who had replaced the members of the Knights Templar, so he looked unusually respectful and submissive.

Because under this level of surveillance, he knew very well that even without the eldest lady as a hostage, he would have absolutely no chance of betrayal.

Even if he showed the slightest desire to resist, he might be killed and replaced by a monster, just like those noble knights who were thrown into the mines to work as laborers.

"No, there are no special instructions, you just need to remember to do two things.

The first is to find the black swordsman named Guts and tell him that I can help him get revenge.

Second, always pay attention to what is happening in the Tower of Judgment and the invasion of the Kusha Empire.

As for the rest, they will figure it out themselves.”

As he spoke, Zuo Si glanced at the cybershape monster he had summoned from New Phyrexia out of the corner of his eye.

Different from the traditional shapeshifters in Faerun, these are a new generation of shapeshifters created through cloning technology and oil refinement.

Its transformation ability comes not only from spell-like abilities, but also from biotechnology, nanotechnology, and 3D projection technology that is so lifelike that it can be mistaken for a real thing.

In other words, in addition to being able to perfectly replace another person, they can also influence hormone secretion by creating an atmosphere and stimulating the senses, and even give the other person unimaginable pleasure and satisfaction during a pleasure session.

Therefore, when performing infiltration and stealth missions, these guys often perform much better than traditional shapeshifters.

Especially in this low-magic world where magic basically belongs to myths and legends, it is a completely crushing existence.

Even though there are only a hundred of them, after returning to the King's Hall, they will immediately start to act separately, enter the high-level positions of various countries in a very short time and secretly collect intelligence and pass on messages.

If necessary, they will also control some important families and use the resources at their disposal to establish a huge intelligence network.

In short, there are many things these cyber shapeshifters can do, even completely turning the eastern region of the continent into a living hell.

"Understood."

Serpico nodded slightly, then glanced at his sister who was standing not far away wearing a noble long dress and a black veil covering her face with a look of reluctance. Then he mounted his horse and led this group of knights full of monsters all the way eastward, embarking on the journey back to the King's Hall.

After watching the team disappear at the end of the road, Berrant, the royal steward, immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the envoy from the Kingdom of Alred has arrived. When do you plan to meet him?"

"The Kingdom of Alred? Is it the country that belonged to the nobles who attacked the border some time ago and were killed by us?"

Zuo Si asked without turning his head.

Through the maps he had previously found in the royal collection, he had roughly understood that this continent was basically equivalent to Europe in the late Middle Ages.

Among them, the Kingdom of Midlan, where the Eagle Group is active, is roughly equivalent to the Byzantine Empire, which is about to perish, and is located almost at the easternmost end of the continent.

And where I am now is equivalent to being in Western Europe.

As to whether it is closer to Spain or France, it is unknown.

After all, it is not a one-to-one replica. There are huge differences in both appearance and geography.

But what is certain is that every one of these surrounding countries is an absolute weakling, and they have not yet equipped their armies with either muskets or artillery.

On the contrary, some mercenaries occasionally use similar large-caliber primitive pistols.

Of course, its power is limited to causing effective damage within 20 to 30 meters.

If it were any farther, the bullet would have no idea where to go.

Berlant answered without hesitation: “Yes, that’s them.

The messenger was very angry that you killed the nobles of the Kingdom of Alred for no reason.

Obviously, they want to condemn you to your face according to tradition, and then use this opportunity to recruit allies to form a coalition to fight us.

According to the news sent back by the spies, several surrounding countries have been sending envoys to each other frequently recently.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a multinational coalition of unprecedented scale.

Because what you did touched their bottom line."

"Hahahaha! Great, it's best if you come together, so I don't have to deal with them one by one."

Zuo Si laughed contemptuously, then turned his gaze to Hemit who had followed him all the way here: "My dear general, are you ready to give the world a little shock?"

"Of course, Your Majesty. I can't wait to tear these foolish nobles and kings apart with the roar of gunpowder and let them know that you are the true master of this continent."

Hemit clenched his fist, slapped his chest hard, and made a solemn promise.

After all, after learning the advanced tactics of coordinating line infantry, artillery and cavalry, the backward armies dominated by knights like those of feudal lords were nothing more than a group of lambs to be slaughtered in his eyes.

If there are too many casualties on one's side in a battle, it means the commander is unqualified.

Of course, considering that the range of muskets is still relatively short, spear phalanxes and crossbowmen still need to be retained.

As for the remaining messy arms, they can all be disbanded and eliminated.

"Very good, I will wait and see how you perform.

Remember, my principle in employing people is always ability first.

No one can always occupy a position by relying on seniority.

If you don’t want to be overtaken by latecomers, you must constantly surpass yourself and become stronger and stronger.

Otherwise, I will ruthlessly clean out those useless people who are just sitting there doing nothing."

When saying this, Zuo Si's tone was full of naked and undisguised warnings.

As a typical dictator and tyrant, he doesn't care about nonsense like new clothes are not as good as new ones and old people are not as good as old ones, and he is not afraid of his subordinates rebelling because of dissatisfaction and resentment.

Theories such as "human affairs are politics" which can only be applied to mortals are obviously not applicable to a demon god who transcends life and death and even time and space.

"Please rest assured that we will never let you down."

Hemit and a group of promoted officers tensed up instantly and responded with a serious look on their faces.

After all, Zuo Si had used the heads of hundreds of corrupt officials to prove that he would definitely do what he said.

Therefore, no one dared to ignore such a warning.

Seeing that his words had worked, Zuo Si showed satisfaction on his face. He turned around and walked straight to Farnese, lifted the black veil covering his face, gently stroked the other's iconic face, and said meaningfully: "Come on, come back with me, it's time to conduct more experiments. You should know that your talent in magic is not limited to this, and there is more potential to be tapped."

Hearing this, the young lady couldn't help but tremble. She clenched her fists tightly and begged in an almost humble tone: "No, don't, don't make me do those weird things again. I can't bear it and will go completely crazy!"

"Go crazy if you want. This world is dark and hopeless enough anyway. Going crazy might be a way to get relief."

Zuo Si had a creepy smile on his face, and obviously didn't take the other party's overreaction seriously.

In his opinion, Farnese was still a long way from having a mental breakdown and going completely crazy. He was just spoiled since childhood and couldn't endure hardship.

What's more, even if she was really crazy, what would happen? Could she be crazier than Isadora, who tore her own personality into countless pieces and then tried to put it back together? With a little training and reshaping of her worldview, she could return to "normal" in a matter of minutes.

Now Zuo Si only wants to understand the magic system of this world through Farnese's magical talent, as well as the connection between the underworld and the deeper abyss.

"No, no, no, don't come over here."

The eldest lady was obviously frightened by the faint light flashing in Zuo Si's eyes, and turned around and wanted to escape.

But before she could even take two steps, the maid Paris blocked her way.

The next second...

Farnese was carried up by Zuo Si and walked towards the palace.

The other people around were obviously used to this, and no one paid any attention to the woman's noise and cries for help.

Because in their eyes, it is an honor for the king to be favored by him.

This is an opportunity that many people would love to have.

There were hundreds of big businessmen who were eager to send their sisters and daughters to the palace to serve as maids as a means of getting close to the king.

Just like that, amid the eldest lady's fierce resistance and struggle, a new round of magic experiments soon began.

Because only by better understanding the underworld and the sea of ​​thoughts can Zuo Si get close to the God of the Abyss at the level of thought and consciousness, and ultimately achieve the goal of merging with or even devouring him.

In the following period, he did not personally lead the army to fight wars, but delegated power to his generals and senior officers, training them and giving them the opportunity to accumulate more war experience.

Internally, we began to focus on system building and breakthroughs in various processes and technologies.

When war broke out with several neighboring countries, prototypes of machine tools, hydraulic locomotives, and even steam engines were invented one after another.

Primitive industrial products are impacting the market at an extremely cheap price, forcing the entire society to make constant adjustments and changes.

This reborn country is developing rapidly in a way that the world cannot understand at all. It has completed a journey that took hundreds of years in European history in just a few months.

When the first chimney emitting thick black smoke rose in the planned industrial zone, several legions under Zuo Si had already defeated all the invading countries around them and began to advance in the opposite direction, unscrupulously attacking cities and territories in the enemy's territory, continuing to implement the previous policy of distributing land to serfs and tenants, and then supporting merchants, craftsmen and other urban classes.

After a series of combined blows, the rule of several kingdoms showed signs of collapse.

After realizing the benefits that ending aristocratic rule would bring to them, the lower-class civilians in these countries began to riot on a large scale, killing tax collectors, sheriffs, stewards and other aristocratic lackeys, and then welcoming the royal army with their heads in their hands.

Many nobles were frightened by this situation. They either hid in the last fortress, the royal capital, or cowered in the castle and dared not come out until the bronze cannon blasted through the gate and welcomed the arrival of doomsday.

Someone once said that the most important thing for a country is to create a centralized and efficient administrative system.

The division and decline of Rome was due to the fact that this system was not well built, while the reason why the distant East was able to maintain unity for a long time was because someone used advanced wisdom to create an effective administrative system and continuously improved it.

So this time Zuo Si planned to play this empire-building game in the style of a business simulation game.

Of course, it would be a different matter if a more powerful apostle emerged from somewhere.

In fact, during the army's conquests, he actually captured quite a few apostles hiding among nobles, mercenaries and bandits, probably more than a hundred in number.

Currently, these apostles are imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace and are undergoing inhumane and crazy experiments.

“Aa ...

"Kill me! Kill me now!"

"Give me a quick death! Please! Have mercy!"

"Get out of here! I don't want to drink that disgusting liquid of unknown origin!"

Accompanied by the screams and wails, a new round of experiments began.

Especially the former, the confusion, fear and despair on his face were no longer there, but instead there was an evil and cruelty that could not be described in words.

It was obvious that under Zuo Si's insane training, this young lady had been completely ruined.

To be precise, it completely aroused the already extremely cruel side of her heart.

It is not difficult to tell from the sickly and enjoying smile that Farnese has been transformed into Zuo Si's own shape.

Of course, the other maid was no worse, and could also do extremely cruel things with a smile on her face, such as digging out the eyes of an apostle, or cutting off part of his internal organs or limbs.

And because of Zuo Si's magical transformation and swordsmanship training, her physical fitness has surpassed the scope of mortals. Even in a one-on-one battle, she can easily crush most apostles, so she has no fear of these strange guys.

Seeing that all the apostles drank the potion he prepared and showed pain, Zuo Si stroked his chin and said in a slightly playful tone: "Do you know?

According to the laws of natural evolution, whether a species will evolve into another species mainly depends on changes in the environment.

For example, fish close to the shore may gradually become independent of water and evolve into amphibians such as frogs and toads due to the lack of food and oxygen underwater.

而两栖动物又会逐渐演变成为蜥蜴、恐龙之类的爬行动物,然后再就是哺乳动物和人类。

当然,这个过程非常漫长,往往以千万年乃至亿万年为单位。

所以我经常会忍不住去想,如果有一种生物拥有近乎无限的恢复能力,那是否意味着它可以在短时间内快速适应一切环境的变化?

为了证明这一点,我给你们喝下了一些比较有劲的东西。

打算看看你们究竟是能够适应并完成演化,还是会承受不住直接全身爆裂……”

还没等左思把话说完,一名蜥蜴外形的使徒从肚子到脑袋都开始不受控制的膨胀,甚至能够看见鳞片下面剧烈抽动的肌肉和血液。

他显然恐惧极了,惊慌失措的大喊道:“不!别这样!救救我!我不想死!”

但转瞬之间,该使徒的身体就当场爆裂开化作漫天的血雾四散飞溅。

“啊——真是可惜,看来你没能完成演化。”

左思故作遗憾的叹了口气,那略显悲痛的语气明显就是鳄鱼的眼泪。

“主人,快看,那边的也快要爆了。”

女仆小姐指着不远处另外一个外形如同甲壳虫的使徒提醒道。

可左思却无所谓的耸了耸肩膀:“没关系,爆了就爆了吧,这只能怪他太弱了,体内的深渊之力严重不足。毕竟自然法则的本质就是优胜劣汰,一点小小的损失还是可以接受的。”

“魔……魔鬼!你简直就是个魔鬼!”

甲壳虫使徒在生命的最后一刻发出了绝望的呐喊。

因为他原本以为自己就已经够邪恶、冷酷和残忍的了,自打成为使徒后杀死的人数以百计。

可在落到左思手里后,他意识到与眼前这个男人比起来,自己之前的所作所为只能被称之为发泄兽欲,距离真正的黑暗与邪恶差得远了。

当说出这句话后不到一秒钟,使徒的身体便轰然炸裂开也彻底死翘翘了。

才没过几分钟,这个原本用来囚禁犯人的地牢里就有超过三分之二的使徒先后爆体而亡。

从他们爆炸时从体内喷射出来的能量,法尔纳塞能清晰感受到那深不见底的黑暗与邪恶。

她现在终于确定,如果这些人真是所谓神的使徒,那么这个神一定邪恶的难以想象,根本不是法王厅宣扬的神爱世人。

就在大小姐以为这些使徒都会在承受超过自身上限的能量后全军覆没时,一个像史莱姆没有固定形体的使徒突然发出刺耳的尖啸。

随后他的身体被吹涨起来变成巨大的球体,上边则缓缓长出了眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴,

“我……我好像变强了? 哈哈哈哈!

没错!

我变强了!

我现在已经跟以前的自己不一样了!”

球形使徒像疯了一样发出歇斯底里的狂笑,并且看向左思的眼神也变得充满怨恨跟恶毒。

仅仅一秒钟之后,他便猛地从嘴里喷出一大团散发着刺鼻气味的液体。

左思稍微往后挪动了两步,刚刚好避开了这次突然袭击。

但他虽然躲开了,但脚下的地面却在液体的腐蚀下迅速冒出大量气泡,发出刺耳的嗤嗤声,最终形成一个足有半米深的小坑。

不用问也知道,这些液体是一种可怕的强酸,要是普通人沾染上怕是分分钟会被腐蚀的连骨头都剩不下。

“所以……这就是你完成进化后获得的能力?有点意思!”

左思看着前方腐蚀出来的大坑露出感兴趣的表情。

因为这明显已经不是什么生理结构的问题,就是一种类法术能力,由幽界能量转化而成。

确切的说,就连使徒的变身能力都是幽界能量作用的结果。

换而言之,所谓的使徒就是通过献祭割舍掉人性来换取深渊之神在他们灵魂中建立一个节点。

通过这个节点注入的能量,使徒往往可以获得超人般的力量,以及一些类似魔法的能力。

而左思在做的就是绕开深渊之神,为他们额外注入更多的幽界能量。

结果那些内心之中不坚定、还有犹豫或迷茫的家伙,就会因此而导致体内能量失衡,最终引发爆体而亡的结局。

但如果要是他们没有任何犹豫跟迷茫,那就能把两股能量融为一体,相当于某些通过二次献祭获得更强大力量的顶尖使徒。

当然,左思制造这些冒牌货肯定比不上原版,但已经能够揭示使徒与深渊之神的关系。

难怪即便是最强大的使徒,也无法与神之手抗衡。

两者体内的能量等级从开始就不在一个档次上。

如果把使徒灵魂中的节点比作一粒米,那神之手就是一个篮球。

就在左思饶有兴致观察分析这些刚完成进化的使徒时,后者已经不约而同的站到一起联合起来,似乎是想要借着变强之后的力量杀掉这个折磨、虐待自己的疯子。

“主人,请务必小心,他们当中有几个的气息已经变得十分危险了。”

女仆帕丽斯一脸紧张的发出警告。

如果是一对一,她自然不会害怕这些手下败将。

但问题是这里明显有三十个左右完成了二次进化的使徒,真打起来危险性可以说是相当的高。

可左思干不以为意的摇了摇头:“不用担心,就凭他们几个还翻不了天。更何况这些都是绝佳的实验素材,我可不会把他们白白浪费掉。”

说罢,左思给了大小姐一个似笑非笑的眼神。

法尔纳塞瞬间心领神会,猛地闭上眼睛开始吟唱咒语塑造来自幽界的能量。

“该死!那是个魔女!快杀了她!”

为首的甲壳虫使徒冲着其他人大声呼喊。

可遗憾的是一切都太晚了。

在左思这位“名师”毫无人道的残酷训练下,大小姐早就已经脱胎换骨彻底跟自己的软弱做了切割。

只见她仅用短短几秒钟便完成了所有的步骤,抿起嘴角冷笑着抬起手将塑造完成的法术释放出去。

轰!!!!!!! 伴随着震耳欲聋的巨响,一股巨大的冲击波贴着地牢的墙壁向前方推进,仅用不到一秒钟便将沿途所有的使徒全部撞翻在地,就连墙壁上都是密密麻麻如同蜘蛛网一样的裂纹。

有的更是受了内伤,趴在地上大口大口的吐着血。

毫无疑问,虽然法尔纳塞所使用的能量来自幽界,但与这个世界的魔女相比却属于完全截然不同的体系。

或者说妖精和魔女们利用幽界能量的方式太低效了,以至于左思压根就看不上,所以直接凭空硬造了另外一种魔法体系。

一击得手之后,大小姐压根没有给这些使徒任何还手的机会,再次发动第二个法术凭空制造出一条条魔法触手,将其一个个重新束缚到封印上。

等做完这一切,她才转过身如同渴望得到主人夸奖的小狗一样盯着左思。

“干得不错,有长进。”

左思浮现出淡淡的微笑,用十分温柔的动作轻轻摸了摸对方的脑袋。

瞬间!

法尔纳塞眯起眼睛浮现出无比满足的表情。

恐怕塞尔彼高做梦都不会想到,自己才离开几个月的功夫,可爱的妹妹就变成了对左思唯命是从的忠犬。

现在就算有机会能救人,大小姐也不会愿意跟着他离开。

不过这位狐狸脸的青年眼下也顾不上别的事情了。

因为他正在被一柄沉重的大剑逼迫着不断后退。

尤其是握剑的手,已经因为几次招架与格挡不受控制的抖动,剑身上也出现了巨大的活口与密密麻麻难以被肉眼察觉到的裂纹。

会出现这种情况的原因是他终于遇到了传说中的黑衣剑士、巨剑神教的教主之一、手持斩龙剑的格斯。

如果不是亲眼所见,塞尔彼高完全无法相信以人类的手臂可以挥动这种重量的武器。

而且对方使用的还是单手! “该死!你就不能冷静下来听我把话说完吗?”

塞尔彼高一边闪避一边满头大汗的抱怨道。

如果早知道会是这种结果,他当初就不会选择自己来,而是会让那些变形怪来。

“你怎么会知道我跟格里菲斯之间的恩怨?你该不会也是个披着人皮的使徒吧?”

格斯这会儿显然已经被愤怒和仇恨彻底支配化身成为狂战士,浑身上下都散发着一股根本不在乎自己死活、只想要砍死对方的气息。

“我说过了! 这一切都是罗尔德一世陛下告诉我的! 我只是向你转达他的意思! 如果你有什么疑问,完全可以向西前往他统治的国度向他本人询问。

According to the latest news, his army has just conquered the Kingdom of Sita.

By horseback it would only take about two weeks to reach the border.”

When saying this, Serpico's tone clearly revealed helplessness and impatience.

What he hated most in his life was dealing with such a brainless and reckless man, especially when this reckless man's strength was so terrifying.

"Is what you said true?"

Guts was obviously calmer now, and he no longer continued to swing the terrifying dragon-slaying sword to attack.

Serpico rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Do I have to lie to you? You should know that the French King's Office has issued a warrant for your arrest. I took a huge risk to inform you."

"But how do I know this isn't a scam or a trap? As the monarch of a country, you shouldn't be able to see just anyone, right?"

As a former member of the Eagle Group, Guts had obviously seen a lot of the world. At least he had seen the faces of the nobles of the Kingdom of Midland and knew how big the gap in identity and status was between the king and the common people.

"Here! This is a token and a bag of gold coins. It should be enough to cover your expenses on the journey."

Serpico's first impression of Guts was undoubtedly terrible. He didn't even want to say a word and just threw the things he brought over.

As a subconscious first reaction, Guts used his other prosthetic iron hand to catch the leather bag thrown by the other party, then put away the Dragon Slaying Sword, opened it and took a look, and found an exquisite badge inside, and more than 400 gold coins of excellent quality.

You have to know that a few years ago when he was a mercenary alone, killing powerful enemies and helping the noble lord win the war, the reward he received was only a small bag of silver coins.

But now, someone actually spent enough money to allow most people to live a comfortable life just to see him.

Especially the exquisite emblem that represents noble status, which is definitely not something that any low-ranking noble is qualified to use.

Just based on these two points, Guts basically believed it, and immediately raised his head and asked, "What do I need to do to meet His Majesty Roald I?"

“It’s very simple.

You just need to arrive at the area under his rule, then find the local officials or army and show the token, and they will naturally send someone to escort you to the palace.

Well, I have told you everything I need to tell you. If there is nothing else, I will go back.

Remember to be respectful to His Majesty King Roald I.

He has a bad temper and his swordsmanship is terrifying."

After saying this, Serpico glanced at the apostle who had just been killed and whose body was scattered on the ground, then rode on his horse and planned to leave this damn place as soon as possible.

As a very sensitive person, he could sense that these monsters were definitely coming for him, so he decided to keep a distance from these dangerous elements.

"Wait! If you don't mind, can you tell me about this King Roald I? I'm very curious about him."

Guts called out from behind the fox-faced young man who gave him a big gift when they first met.

But Serpico showed no intention of stopping, and climbed onto the horse's back, and then whispered back: "I'm sorry, I don't know much.

All I can tell you is that according to rumors he comes from a country on the other side of the ocean, with facial features that are completely different from ours, and black hair and black eyes.

He is very powerful, as powerful as a monster, perhaps even more powerful than the apostles you killed.

If he wanted to kill me, I probably wouldn't be able to withstand even one strike.

Oh, by the way, in the process of launching wars and conquests, he would kill all the original nobles and kings, and then distribute the land to the poor.

So everything will be very different within the scope of his rule.

Most importantly, he put a lot of emphasis on the development of gunpowder weapons, and created cannons that were much larger and more powerful than the cannon you have in your hand."

As the last word came out of his mouth, Serpico squeezed the horse's belly hard, then trotted away from this troubled place.

Guts, who stayed where he was, remained silent for a long time, his eyes becoming extremely terrifying.

Because of Zuo Si's actions, he couldn't help but think of another person, that is, his former captain and best friend, and now his sworn enemy - Griffith.

For the next few days, Gus hesitated whether to go to the appointment.

After careful consideration, he finally spent a large sum of money to buy a horse and some food supplies in a town, and turned around to head west.

But what he didn't know was that from this moment on, his destiny had deviated from its original trajectory and began to develop in an unknown direction.

As a fish jumping out of the water, he was not originally under the control of the law of causality of the God of the Abyss, otherwise he should have been killed like the other members of the Eagle Group during the sacrifice.

However, it remains to be seen whether falling into the hands of the great devil Zuo Si is a good thing or a bad thing.

After all, Zuo Si's goal was not to destroy the God of the Abyss, but to devour it and become one with it...
