Chapter 481: Jealousy Makes People Hateful (Five Thousand)
The mysterious old man stroked his beard and spoke slowly: "This old man is Partridge."
It was these six light words that made Ron's body stiffen instantly, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his pupils seemed to tremble slightly.
Partridge?
His throat was moving slowly as he swallowed his saliva.
After being reminded by the six-winged fallen angel and knowing the existence of this old man, Ron became alert. There are not many masters of the Destruction Realm in this world, but they definitely exist. This old man can completely conceal his own aura so that he cannot detect it. This alone is enough to show that his strength is still above his own.
Ron had speculated about the identity of this old man, but he never thought that he would be Partridge.
This person is a key figure in a series of secrets that happened thousands of years ago.
Sage, this is an extremely special existence.
Ron had seen the name of the saint in Archibald's diary, and had some understanding of this existence in Patridge's own diary. He even gained some memories about Patridge from the residual soul of Archibald's sister.
The first thing that can be confirmed is that this guy is definitely not a good person.
Patrick was originally just a pirate who roamed the oceans, his business was to kill and rob. Moreover, he didn't seem to be doing very well among pirates. To be honest, he was just an average guy.
It's just that this guy was lucky. At that time, Archibald tried to rewrite his own destiny and refused to become a saint. He was being hunted thousands of miles by the Andre family. At that time, Archibald's strength seemed not to have reached its full potential. Although he had few rivals in the world, he could not withstand the full-scale pursuit of the entire Andre family.
In this situation, Archibald chose to teach Chinese and Pinyin to others, allowing another existence to replace his position as a sage.
There is no doubt that this so-called successor was just Archibald's random choice, and it ended up falling on Partridge.
At that time, Archibald did not do anything, but just casually displayed his own strength. However, that kind of power caused an extremely strong shock, fear, and even excitement to Patrick, whose strength was not at all at that time.
From that moment on, Partridge vowed to catch up with Archibald and become as strong as Partridge.
At this time, Partridge became a sage carefully cultivated by the Andre family, because only Partridge mastered the new text created by Archibald.
In order to make Partridge a complete part of the Andre family, the Andre family even changed Partridge's last name to Andre, and married Sally, the best woman of that generation in the family, to Partridge, making Partridge a son-in-law of the Andre family.
The Andre family has eight thousand years of heritage and has accumulated countless kinds of magic potions and elixirs.
With the infusion of various magic potions from the Andre family and the transfer of some destiny and luck, Patridge's strength continued to rise. In just a few years, he had achieved the peak of the legendary realm.
With this strength, as long as those old monsters of the Andre family do not show up, it is enough to dominate the entire Dusk Continent. But it is obvious that Patridge is not satisfied with this realm. He wants to become a being comparable to Archibald.
He knew very well that although the peak legendary realm was powerful, it was like an ant in front of Archibald and was not worth mentioning at all. That guy could easily crush him even with just a move of his fingers.
Perhaps the excitement Archibald displayed was too strong, or perhaps the attitude Archibald displayed towards Partridge deeply hurt Partridge's self-esteem, or more likely it was the blessing of fate that made Partridge prouder than he should have been.
All in all, Partridge's ambitions grew.
He even felt that the peak legendary strength was not worthy of him and was not worthy of the title of sage.
He wanted to become stronger, and for this purpose, this guy began to practice desperately. He would not let go of any opportunity to improve his strength. Whether it was a magic potion containing abundant energy that was even enough to burst his body, or the breath of the evil god, Patrick dared to touch it.
After learning about the remains of the last Twilight King, Patridge set his sights on the remains. He tried to absorb the power from the remains to become a more powerful being.
He found it.
He found the temple of Poseidon in the sea.
The so-called sea god is the source of all waters, in charge of the origin of water, and is also one of the seven righteous gods.
The believers of the seven righteous gods are still the aquatic creatures in the ocean.
However, over the course of seven thousand years, the water race gradually declined, and even the Temple of the Sea God had become deserted, and the seal in the temple had long been unguarded.
Fortunately, although the seal has lasted for seven years, the person who made the seal was quite skilled and the seal is extremely strong. Even after seven years, there is still no sign of damage.
At this time, although Patridge had not yet broken through to the realm of destruction, his own strength was already quite good. It took him decades to finally pry open the seal and see the remains of the last Twilight King contained in the coffin.
Ron didn't know much about this matter. Karem once said that Patridge broke through the level of Destruction with the help of the remains of the last Twilight King, and Simmons passed this information to Ron.
In Ron's opinion, this shameless Patridge might have used his knowledge of Chinese to deceive the remnants of the Last Twilight King, and then borrowed power from the Last Twilight King.
In theory, to become a strong man in the realm of destruction, this strength is already exaggerated enough. As long as he doesn't meet Archibald, he can definitely walk sideways in the Dusk Continent. Even if he encounters those powerful dragons with violent tempers, he will not be afraid. As long as he doesn't meet the Dragon King, or the ancient dragons among the dragon clan, he will basically not encounter any danger.
However, Patridge's ambition can no longer be satisfied by the realm of destruction alone.
The greater the power he controlled, the more exaggerated Patrick's fear of Archibald became. He thought that after becoming a powerful person in the Realm of Destruction, he should be able to catch up with Archibald. However, he did not expect that after the breakthrough, he suddenly found that the distance between himself and Archibald seemed to have shortened, but in fact it was far more exaggerated than he had previously speculated.
Archibald was like a natural chasm, forever standing in the way of Partridge.
The height of the mountain made Patridge feel desperate. It was a level that he could never reach no matter how hard he practiced throughout his life.
He was unwilling to accept it.
This unwillingness turned into a kind of inner demon, tormenting Partridge's soul almost all the time.
He was unwilling to accept this outcome. Why had he not been able to catch up with Archibald even though he had received the full support of the Andre family, the blessing of destiny, and absorbed the power of the last Twilight King? Why was the distance between him and Archibald getting farther and farther?
Jealousy makes him hateful.
His feelings towards Archibald also changed from admiration, respect and pursuit at the beginning, and gradually twisted into murderous intent. He tried to destroy Archibald. Only by killing the man completely could he prove that he was better than him.
He would do anything to kill Archibald.
It was under the impetus of this strong murderous intent that Patridge pushed his wife Sally into the abyss. He tried to turn Sally into the most terrifying weapon of war on the Dusk Continent.
Not only did he absorb the power from the remains of the Last Twilight King, he even tried to piece them together again to form a complete body, and then use this body to replace his original body, hoping that in this way he could step into the true realm of God and completely catch up with Archibald.
I have to say, this kind of obsession is really crazy.
Ron had never seen such a paranoid existence. Compared with Partridge's obsession, Ashburn's obsession was not worth mentioning at all.
All kinds of information were spinning in Ron's mind. Ron had suspected before that Patridge might still be alive, but when he saw the old man in person, he was still shocked. Unfortunately, he knew too little about Patridge, and a large part of the information that emerged in his mind was speculation, and the truth was unknown.
However, if Patridge knew what was in Ron's mind, he would probably be shocked, shocked that there was someone in the world who knew him so well.
A thousand years is too long.
There are many things that Partridge himself has forgotten.
He even forgot what his original intention was, as if he was born to kill the blasphemer.
This feeling is very strange, and sometimes he feels a little empty, but Patridge doesn't take it too seriously. As long as the goal in his heart is still there, he has the motivation to continue living and working hard. As for the blasphemer, Patridge firmly believes that the old thing will never die easily.
Ron's face turned a little gloomy. Although he had felt that someone had been lurking nearby before, and knew that the other party should be a very powerful master, he never expected that the other party's identity would be Patrick.
Patrich's strength is definitely not something that an ordinary Destruction Realm warrior can match.
Not to mention Ron himself, even if we add Ashborn who was just killed and Heferson from the Elf Forest, they are definitely no match for the sage.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
According to the information Ron has, the sage should be a somewhat neurotic monster. Although he is respected as a sage, he is actually a bit crazy and will do anything to pursue power.
There is no doubt that such an existence is absolutely very dangerous.
Therefore, although the aura of the sage in front of him was not sharp, and could even be said to be quite gentle, Ron did not dare to relax at all. He could not even feel Patridge's specific strength. He only felt that Patridge seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, shadowy and unpredictable. This was a very dangerous signal.
His entire body is covered with dragon scales, his fingers are clenched, ready to take out the Eye of the Dragon God at any time and face the enemy in his strongest state.
Ron's appearance was also seen by Partridge. The white-haired old man just raised the corner of his mouth kindly, as if he found it quite funny: "Little brother, I don't want to attack you. If I really wanted to attack you, you wouldn't survive for three seconds."
Ron looked bitter. Is this the confidence of a strong man? Can he handle himself in three seconds? Is the gap between the realms really that exaggerated?
Patrick didn't know what Ron was thinking. He didn't care what others thought of him, and he didn't even bother to bully a junior with lies. In Patrick's heart, he only had a strong murderous intent towards Archibald. Apart from the blasphemer, what did the life and death of other people have to do with him?
After a pause, Patrich spoke again: "Don't worry, although you destroyed one of my chess pieces, I am not a stingy person. I will not settle accounts with you for such a small matter."
"Chess pieces?" Ron raised his eyebrows.
"Ah, it's that old guy Holt 474." Patridge seemed to feel a little sleepy. He yawned and blinked his eyelids quickly a few times.
"Although that old man, in terms of the degree of evil, is unmatched in the Dusk Continent."
That's true.
Holt the 474th was no less evil than the so-called evil spirits.
This guy used young female practitioners as his cauldrons, absorbing their strength for his own use. The number of female practitioners he had sucked dry was at least thousands.
In order to eliminate impurities and defects in his body, he even married a large number of princesses, transferring all the defects to the next generation and artificially creating a large number of deformed children.
Even an evil spirit could not do such a thing. After all, even if it were an evil spirit, the most it could do was corrupt a few people and kill thousands or tens of thousands of lives. An evil spirit definitely does not have the brains to do such a disgusting thing.
“However, I have to say that although Holt’s methods in the 474th life were a bit worse, his body has been tempered quite well. Although his body is old, he is extremely sensitive to various magical elements such as water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness, and spirit. Even the strength of his body is top-notch. With a little practice, he will immediately become an immortal body.”
"Although there are still some flaws in that body, compared to my own aptitude, these flaws are not worth mentioning."
"If Holt the 474th had not gone astray and given up his great conditions to accept some gift from heaven, and instead continued to practice normally, his strength improvement speed might be a little slower, but in a dozen or twenty years, even without relying on the remains of the last Dusk King, he could have broken through the Destruction Realm and become a true strong man just by relying on himself."
Ron was slightly shocked by what Partridge said.
He only knew that after absorbing the talents of thousands of female practitioners and giving birth to hundreds of deformed children, Holt the 474th had his own qualifications tempered to a quite astonishing level. However, he did not expect that Patrick's opinion of Holt the 474th was so high.
This old man Holt really received the gift of destiny.
However, judging from what the sage said, the gift from destiny is actually an obstacle for Holt. Holt's current talent is even more valuable than the gift from destiny.
It seems that it was fortunate that this old guy went astray, otherwise it might have been a huge trouble for me.
However, Patridge should have also received the gift of destiny, but why can't I feel much respect for destiny in Patridge's tone, but instead a hint of contempt and mockery? By the way, speaking of it, according to the direction of the game, the sage should be just a pure background board, and he should have fallen more than 800 years ago... But now, Patridge appeared alive in front of him, which proved that the funeral that shocked the entire Dusk Continent was just a huge scam set up by Patridge?
Could it be that this guy, like the blasphemer, chose to defy fate and change his destiny?
Such an idea suddenly emerged in Ron's mind. It seemed that the backlash suffered by Patridge should be much smaller than that of Archibald. At least this guy could still appear in front of him openly, unlike the blasphemer who could only curl up in the abyss and dared not show his head.
Patrick didn't know what Ron was thinking. It seemed like he hadn't had a good communication with anyone for a long time. Now he finally met Ron, someone he could talk to. Once he started talking, it was hard to stop.
"Originally, I was planning to consider Holt 474 as a backup option."
"If my original plan fails, my body collapses, and the receptors I created lose control, then it would be a good choice to host my soul in Holt 474. With the aptitude of this guy's body, combined with my soul, it won't take long for him to return to his peak. Maybe I can use his aptitude to break through the limit again."
"That's right. That's why I showed my true form in front of Holt, gave him some pointers, and left a mark."
"What a pity, such a good receptor was killed by you."
Ron was a little embarrassed: "Is the old man here to settle accounts with me?"
Partridge glanced at Ron and said, "I have as many receptors as I want. If one dies, it's not a big deal."
"Then, old man, are you here for the remains of the last Twilight King as well?" Ron's eyes had narrowed into slits.
"Yes, that's right." Partridge smiled, and his pair of seemingly turbid eyes stared at Ron quietly: "So, are you going to stop me?"
