"I really want to see how powerful such a young demigod can be."

Louis looked at the sky in the distance and chuckled.

Beatrice said nothing, but just looked at him and smiled.

Olivia didn't care about it, she would never envy such lucky people.

Whether it is lucky or not is still unknown.

When he returned to the palace of the Roxy Empire, he once again looked at the aura of power rising into the sky.

"The little dragon king? I just don't know what's wrong with him that requires Roxy to specially ask us to come over to help."

Yes.

This time, Louis and his companions came to the Rockhi Empire for different reasons, both overt and covert.

On the surface, they were discussing with the Roxy Empire how to deal with the impact from the Demon King's army.

The secret reason is that the Rockxi Empire hopes that Enther can help the little dragon emperor solve a certain problem in exchange for further expansion of the Cursed Legion's manpower.

Although Louis knew very well that the Lockheed Empire would eventually agree to the expansion of the Cursed Legion.

It would just be more beneficial for him to reach an agreement with Roxy sooner.

The next day, they completed the proposal on recruiting new soldiers for the Cursed Legion in the Imperial Palace.

As a result of the discussion, Locke decided to form a temporary emergency corps with the Enther Empire.

The ostensible purpose of this legion's existence is to maintain peace in the Star Continent and to suppress the followers of evil gods in areas where the Church of the Abyss is active.

Secretly, everyone in this legion knew of the existence of the Cursed Legion.

They are the most loyal soldiers of the two empires, and they have already made up their minds to fight to the death with the believers of the Abyss Church and even the Demon King's army.

Even after death, he is willing to complete this mission in the form of a cursed legion.

The Roxy Empire made only one request.

That is, after the wars that affected the entire continent were over, I hoped that Louis would give those soldiers freedom.

Louis agreed.

Although he knew very well that once the enemy's soldiers were transformed into the Cursed Legion, it would be up to him to decide whether or not to give them freedom.

But at this moment, he still made his attitude clear.

The existence of the Cursed Legion goes against the natural cycle, and Louis' core purpose in wanting to control the Cursed Legion is to ensure that the lives of his loved ones are not threatened.

However, the Demon King's army and the future Abyss Army were unwilling to do so.

He had no choice but to choose this extreme measure to counter the sea force tactics of the Demon King's army and the Abyss Army.

If the threat can be successfully eliminated, it doesn't matter to him whether so many members of the Cursed Legion are needed.

After all, he could clearly feel that as his professional level increased, his own strength was also expanding rapidly at an astonishing speed.

Now he can fight against demigods at full power, and when he is promoted to legend, he will only become more powerful.

After being promoted to demigod, he even dared to dance in front of Lao Deng.

Anyway, I guess Lao Deng won’t be able to kill him by then.

At that time, it won’t matter whether there is a Cursed Legion or not.

I am the Legion! But not long after the discussion, he and Beatrice went to the Jean family.

The Gene family is one of the top five families with the blood of the Purgatory Dragon flowing in their veins.

The little dragon king Kane Gene now lives in the Sword Courtyard of the Gene family.

"What on earth did the little dragon king do that required you to come and see it in person?"

Sitting in the carriage, Louis looked at his first wife curiously.

Beatrice smiled and said, "What they need is the power of the Eye of Truth."

"I know, but your Eye of Truth has not yet been promoted to authority. It feels a bit strange to need an Eye of Truth at this level."

Beatrice's True Eye is a bit like a weakened combination of Greedy Curiosity + Insight skills.

Because she can see the true nature of many powerful things, Beatrice can discover other people's fighting skills more easily than ordinary people.

By the way, as one of Mr. Kulin’s students, Beatrice is one of the few people who has mastered the third level of the invisible realm.

This sword master-level skill can be of great benefit even if you only learn the third level.

Not to mention that as an arcane knight, Beatrice also needs to have sufficient knowledge of magic.

As for magic, if you can recognize and understand it, you have completed most of your learning progress.

The Eye of Truth has this effect.

Not to mention insight, Beatrice can identify the characteristics of most external sources of power, even the Sin Dragon Armor, at first glance.

However, even Beatrice's Eye of Insight has its limits at this stage.

Their understanding of many things may not be as strong as those old monsters.

Louis was also very curious about what the problem was that needed to be solved using the Eye of Truth at this stage.

When Louis arrived at the Jean family, he could clearly feel the oppression from the demigod level.

The current patriarch of the Gene family, Bart Gene, was standing at the door early to welcome their arrival.

"Welcome to the Sword Courtyard."

Bart Gene bowed, raised his head and said, "It is really a loss of face for our family to come all the way to seek help, but there is really no other way. Kane's current condition, I am afraid only the Eye of Truth can help solve it."

Louis couldn't help but complain in his heart, how can the Gene family be considered a family? Which family can directly occupy 10% of the hundreds of millions of people in an empire? This is clearly a nation.

But Louis also knew that Roxy had his own charm.

Although the Jean family accounts for 10% of the population of the Rockhe Empire, it does not mean that 10% of the people in the empire have the surname Jean.

Only those who have truly entered the upper echelons of the family can be given the surname Gene.

Its form is somewhat similar to the surname bestowed by the emperor.

Walking into the Sword Garden of the Gene family, he saw countless weapons stuck in the garden.

Traces of power left by their masters still remained on those weapons. That power flowed through the weapons into the land beneath their feet, turning the Sword Garden into a huge container for extraordinary power.

Louis could even feel that from the moment he stepped into the Sword Garden, the energy began to spread along the ground into his body, tempering his physique all the time.

Although that speed is better than nothing for him, people who have lived here for many years will improve faster than those outside.

"Interesting method." Louis smiled and said, "These weapons should be left here by the powerful men of the Gene family from previous generations, right?"

Bart Jean smiled and nodded, saying, "The members of the Jean family are all top talents from all over the empire. When they are able to go out with the Jean family name, they will abandon a more commonly used weapon and infuse all their knowledge into the Sword Garden."

Louis could sense the pride in Bart's words.

That is the confidence in the strong people that have been born in the Gene family over the years.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a garden.

In the pavilion of the garden, Louis saw the key person of their visit -

Little Dragon Emperor Kane Gene.

Louis opened his eyes wide, feeling the powerful curse power bursting out of the little Dragon King's body. The curse power was endless, and it seemed to condense into substance and soar into the sky.

He opened his mouth slightly and whispered to Beatrice:

"So weak."

He was too embarrassed to speak directly.

Among all the demigods Louis has ever met, Kane Gene is definitely the weakest one.

Beatrice was professionally trained and managed to hold back her laughter.

However, both she and Louis could see that the little Dragon King clearly had serious health problems.

Bart Gene was stunned for a moment, and looked at Louis in surprise:

"Your Highness, you can see that."

Louis naturally did not say that his Eye of Truth was better than his first wife's. Although it was only temporarily better than her, he still had to give his wife some face when he went out.

Beatrice also spoke up: "His condition is a bit serious. There is a fatal flaw in his visualization method."

Bart Gene smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, that kid is having some troubles right now."

The customs of the Rockhe Empire are very different from those of the mainstream countries on the mainland.

Louis had known before that their country did not believe in gods.

If this happened in an era when religious conflicts were most extreme, the Loxi people would be considered heretics and it would be normal for them to be burned at the stake.

Especially their method of visualization...visualizing the self-God in the spiritual world.

It is better to believe in yourself than to believe in God. It is very good and materialistic.

But when he saw Kane taking a nap in the courtyard, he discovered that there was a fatal flaw in his visualization method.

This loophole has resulted in the already young demigod being unable to control his own cursed energy.

"This method is a bit insidious, very much like Heart Wound. I finally understand why you asked me to come here to help."

Beatrice had a strange expression on her face.

Louis didn't know what to say.

To put it simply, a heart injury is an unhealable gap in the soul.

Ordinary professionals don’t actually have this problem.

But for certain groups, emotional trauma can directly end their future.

For example, Maid Rumi and Guild President Heisen Bansha, both suffered irreparable heart scars because of what happened in the dungeon.

This causes flaws in their mental defenses, and when they reach a critical threshold like being promoted to the legendary level, it will directly become a bottleneck in their promotion.

The situation of the little dragon king Kane is very similar to the injury of the heart.

It’s just that there’s something wrong with Lumi and the others’ state of mind, and there’s a fatal flaw in Kane’s visualization method.

"What did he do with?"

Louis opens his mouth with his ultimate move.

Patriarch Bart covered his face in pain and said, "It was our fault. A maid with a little succubus bloodline was close to Kane for a long time."

"Now he is unable to control the power of visualization. As you can see, his curse power is leaking out."

Visualizing oneself can stimulate the treasures of the human body.

Louis heard from Teacher Kino that if he had the chance, he could learn a visualization method that suits him from Roxy, which would be very beneficial to him.

At that time, he knew that Teacher Jino had discovered his identity as a non-believer.

However, it is easy to have problems when visualizing oneself and nurturing one's true self.

Not everyone can see their own essence clearly.

Even...everyone's nature is constantly changing.

Louis clearly felt that the little dragon emperor's yang energy was depleted, which was a manifestation of self-indulgence.

However, a fatal flaw appeared in the visualized self-god, which meant that the essence that the little dragon emperor had originally anchored for himself had been broken due to abnormal circumstances.

"He anchored his own true self and became a noble paladin?"

Louis said with a strange expression: "Didn't you tell him that the Self-God cannot be chosen casually?"

Even Louis, who had not had in-depth contact with the Roxy Empire, knew that the choice of the Self God would directly affect a person's future development direction.

To put it in an analogy, the ego-god is like the personality of a celebrity.

Whatever character you set up, you need to play the role.

However, as we all know, acting will eventually be exposed, so most people simply use their most common personality traits to create their own characters.

In this way, he is playing himself and problems are less likely to arise.

Although he had not spoken to the little Dragon King yet, just from their first encounter, he could sense that the young man was a man who abided by the rules and was strict with himself.

This was the succubus's innate instinct to read his personal traits.

Patriarch Bart said with some headache: "Kane comes from an ordinary family, not a well-established family."

"I know, but what does this have to do with him choosing the Self-God..." Louis paused, "How old was he when he chose the Self-God?"

"Six."

Louis: ??? Beatrice: ???

Okay, very good, now that explains the problem.

Generally speaking, most professionals will not start in-depth professional education until their physical development is almost complete.

Not to mention the Self-God.

Due to the particularity of the visualization method, the Roxy Empire generally requires the curse swordsmen to visualize their true self after the age of 16.

Because before the age of 16, children's intelligence is limited, and their understanding of the world view, outlook on life and values ​​is usually very weak.

If you determine your ego at an early age, you will most likely discover a deviation between your ideal and reality when you reach adulthood.

If the deviation is too large, it will affect the growth of the Self-God.

But... usually this effect doesn't cause huge problems.

After all…whose 18-year-old boy would be a demigod?

Under normal circumstances, even if the Self-God has been determined, due to insufficient professional level, it will not cause loopholes such as heart injury, and there is still room for adjustment.

But the little dragon king Kane is growing too fast.

He started visualizing God-Self too early.

It doesn’t matter why I visualized my Self-God so early.

But from the results, for professionals like legends and demigods who have already completed their free judgment of their own ideas, their mentalities are normal and complete.

Simply put, it is not that easy to break through the defense.

But not Kane.

This young man probably believed from a very young age that he should become a paladin who is upright, kind, and upholds noble qualities.

Just like many people when they are young think that they should become partners of justice and dream of saving the world.

Maybe when he looks back a few years later, even if he still wants to be a partner of justice, it will not stop him from doing a slow motion with his left hand and right hand to the Tohsaka sisters.

But the problem now is that the little Dragon Emperor apparently has to force himself to live according to the ideal life he set when he was 6 years old, and he is willing to do so in order to preserve his own cultivation.

However, an eighteen-year-old boy is still a boy after all.

There are still many things he doesn't understand, and like a child with normal physical development, he will be curious about certain things.

For example, H.

Obviously, he didn't know the meaning at first and was just simply curious.

It is even possible that after having a taste of it with a maid, he would think that this is normal behavior.

Until one day he accidentally realized that he was shamefully being driven by a pony in a big cart. Suddenly, his worldview suffered a severe impact.

There are also loopholes in the visualization method.
