Chapter 201 Let the Bullets Fly for a While (4000 words)
Harold Belvitt is a follower of Kathros, the god of control and fear! ?
What kind of fake news is this?
Fang Yu's face was full of CNN.
As soon as he switched to the main plane, he found that Claudia had suffered a backlash from the spell, vomiting blood all over her body and the bed, and was dying.
After some consideration, he decided to rescue Claudia.
Seeing that her most powerful spell was unable to do anything to Fang Yu and instead suffered a backlash from the spell, Claudia, the succubus, immediately chose to surrender.
After all, a succubus is a combination of an abyss creature and a human female. Generally speaking, even if she appears obedient on the surface, she is actually still secretly planning how to seduce and turn the tables.
But during the backlash of the spell just now, the breath coming from Fang Yu that made her soul tremble made her unable to muster any thoughts of resistance.
That is the breath of Her Majesty Vernes, the great mother of desire!
What kind of divine favor is this! ?
Could it be that this druid is the one favored by the Mother of Desire?
This strange-looking young man is definitely not a druid!
It should be said that it is definitely more than just a druid!
The Great Mother of Desire actually arranged for her own favored ones to join the Church of Nature! ?
Is this a war against the Church of Nature?!
Claudia felt as if she had accessed some secrets that were previously completely inaccessible to her, and her whole body was trembling with excitement.
Ah~ I actually slept with Her Majesty Vernes's Holy Favored One~
Faced with Claudia's misunderstanding, Fang Yu naturally would not explain. After all, his identity as a druid was fake, and now having the identity of a holy favored one of the God of Desire was no big deal.
Impersonating someone else to show off is also a way to show off! It feels so good!
The one who pretends to be the Holy One of Vernis is, to round it off, no different from Vernis.
This despicable god will make you pay the price sooner or later!
"Yes, Your Majesty, I swear by the true name of Claudia Sirka that everything I just said is true. Harold has already performed two blood sacrifices. One more is all it takes to be reborn as a true devil."
Claudia lowered her head submissively, her long black hair scattered on her shoulders as white as the bright moon, with a faint pink tint visible.
"How did you find out? Generally speaking, Harold should have done this kind of thing very secretly, right? How could the Church of Light not have found out?" Fang Yu touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"Some core members of the Belvitt family are already my servants." Claudia hesitated and spoke.
Fang Yu waved his hand: "Oscar Belvedere? He is just a vassal of the Belvedere family. It is impossible for him to have access to such core secrets."
Claudia looked up suddenly, her lake-blue eyes filled with surprise. "How did you know?"
Of course, it was the appraisal technique that told me that.
Seeing Fang Yu's nonchalant expression, Claudia revealed a look of sudden realization, "I was confused. Your Majesty is a favored one of the Mother of God. Of course, all this cannot be hidden from your wise eyes. However, it was not Oscar who discovered this, but my late husband, Edward Belvedere."
So that's how it is. If this succubus can turn Oscar into her servant, how could she let her husband go? Why didn't I think of this before?
"Edward didn't die in battle," Claudia said, her tone thick with hatred. "He died in Harold's blood sacrifice!"
Judging from her tone, this succubus actually has real feelings for her dead husband?
This is really a bit unbelievable.
"Before Edward left for battle, I placed a Tracking Eye next to him. I saw with my own eyes that Harold sealed off the Redstone Valley and sacrificed Edward and all his knights to Carthros!"
Claudia gritted her teeth, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes. "I won't admit my mistake. That's the blood sacrifice that can be reincarnated as a devil!"
"A blood sacrifice requires sacrificing three generations of blood relatives to Carseros: elders, peers, and younger generations. After the incident, I investigated the cause of death of old Earl Belvet. It was also a relatively mild battle, just a routine cleanup operation against the Irontooth Mountain goblins. However, old Earl Belvet disappeared during this operation."
"Harold has already completed two blood sacrifices. If he does one more, his plan will succeed! And this time, the target will definitely be George!"
So that's how it is. It seems that what this succubus said before was not all lies.
"As for hiding it from the Church of Light, it's not that difficult. Otherwise, we, the aliens, would never have appeared before the world."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Claudia's tone.
"The Church of Light's only means of detecting demons and devils are holy water and holy light. As long as you evenly apply prepared lead white powder on your skin beforehand, you can avoid detection by holy water and holy light."
"Your Majesty," Claudia snuggled at Fang Yu's feet like a puppy begging for mercy, the hatred in her eyes unconcealed. "As long as Your Majesty can help me kill Harold, I swear by my true name that I and the entire lineage of Serka will become your loyal followers."
Claudia looked at Fang Yu hopefully.
Originally, she had fallen into fear and despair after her spell failed and was attacked by backlash. Who could have imagined that this druid was also a believer of the God of Desire, and was even a holy one who could stand on equal footing with the high priest of the cult!
You should know that in any sect, those favored by the Holy One are extremely rare. They are God's most beloved believers and are even called the bloodline of God.
If this favored one can help him get revenge, then killing Harold will be a piece of cake!
Fang Yu was somewhat hesitant when he heard Claudia's request.
Holy water and holy light?
It sounds like some kind of simplified faction ritual spell.
However, there are still some problems.
The biggest problem is that Harold is not a follower of Casseroth.
He also hoped that Count Rusen was a believer in the evil god, so that he would have sufficient reasons to take action and snatch the territory of Rusen from Count Harold without worrying about his position shifting.
But Harold wasn't.
After coming down from Mount Omiz, he had already made an appraisal during the more than ten days of traveling in Lusen. Not only Harold, but also the guards of the Belvitt family were checked one by one using the appraisal technique.
Both malicious detection and identification techniques clearly show that Earl Harold is a normal human being with good moral sentiments, and his camp stance is very firm.
On the contrary, almost half of the people around Harold were infiltrated by Claudia, otherwise this succubus would not have been promoted to level four so quickly.
However, Claudia just swore with her real name that she saw Harold sacrifice Edward to Casseros through the Tracking Eye, so it couldn't be false.
If that's the case, there are only two possibilities.
First, someone pretended to be Harold and did these things.
Secondly...
"You seem to have a good relationship with Edward." Fang Yu stretched out a finger and lifted Claudia's chin. "Pleasure, power, manipulation, and the satisfaction of desire, these are what a succubus should pursue, aren't they?"
"My succubus bloodline awakened after George was born in the second year after I married Edward." Claudia's lips parted slightly, her eyes charming. "Killing Harold, Rusen, and me was all yours, Your Majesty Gis."
After saying that, Claudia put Fang Yu's finger into her mouth and licked it gently.
——
Succubus, worthy of being a succubus!
It's just me. If it were someone else, he would have turned into a mummy long ago.
Switching back to Haixi, Fang Yu was calm and composed, like a great sage.
"Yuzu, eat these books and then make an electronic backup copy on the server." Fang Yu took out hundreds of different books from the Boundless Messenger. All of them were taken by Claudia from the Bellvitt family's collection.
After the Boundless Messenger was upgraded again, its capacity increased to 30 cubic meters, and the number of friends that could be added also increased.
But it’s useless. Apart from myself, there is no one else who has the Borderless Messenger.
"Okay, master." Yuzu flew over lazily and began to eat the books one by one.
"Huh?" Yuzu made a puzzled sound halfway through eating.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yu was flipping through a chronicle of the Kingdom of Loire written by an unknown author, and asked casually.
Yuzu flashed the silver light in her body. "Master, do you still remember what Jeffrey, the fur shop owner in Merckford, once said about the mountain floating in the sky?"
Fang Yu put down the chronicle in his hand: "Of course I remember, these books also record it? Where are these mountains?"
Yuzu blinked. "Yes, Master. I just read a travelogue of the Kingdom of Esteria written by the Luwak traveler Schmidt. It records a mountain floating in the sky. It's in the Nambis Mountains on the border between Esteria and Luwak!"
"However, I can be sure that in the Great Arcane Age, the area marked on the map in the book did not have this floating mountain that was more than a hundred meters above the ground." Yuzu's tone was very firm.
The Nambis Mountains.
It is 1,200 km from Lussen and 900 km from Korber.
Once Lu Sen’s issue is resolved, I’ll go there and take a look.
Once you reach level 5, you can purchase the Arcane Flyer.
Fang Yu secretly made a decision.
——
"Boss! Something big happened! I was just about to call you!"
As soon as Fang Yu arrived at Youzi Technology, he saw that everyone in the company was discussing something, and Hua Zecheng ran over with an iPad in his hand, looking serious.
"This is the Nature that was just published today. It contains a blockbuster article published by DeepMind, which was acquired by Google. It just happens to conflict with our research. We should have announced the news that the Orange model defeated Gu Jie earlier!" A layer of fine beads of sweat seeped out of Hua Zecheng's head.
Fang Yu frowned, took the iPad and flipped through it.
This is an article called "Mastering the Game of Go with Deep Neural Networks and Tree Search".
The article first introduces how to use value networks to judge chessboard positions, and then introduces an algorithm that combines Monte Carlo simulation with value strategy networks.
But that's not the point.
The point is, DeepMind used this algorithm to develop an artificial intelligence program called AlphaGo, which defeated the European Go champion Fan Hui 5:0 by using 1202 CPUs and 176 GPUs!
This is the first time that artificial intelligence has defeated a professional human chess player on an accessible full-size chessboard!
"This news broke today!" Hua Zecheng said with a look of frustration. "If we release the orange model now, the effect will definitely not be as good as it was a few days ago. Boss, we really should have announced it earlier!"
After seeing this news, Fang Yu actually felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have listened to divination. It would have been right to announce it at that time.
Even though Google's DeepMind defeated a professional chess player in October, it did not announce it in order to publish it in Nature. As long as it announced it first, and the person it defeated was the world's number one chess player, then Youzi Technology would still be the leader in the field of artificial intelligence.
But if we announce it again now, it would be somewhat like repeating what others have said.
Even if the people of the Great Zhou will praise it for a while due to patriotic enthusiasm, those kneeling tribes will definitely be ridiculed and mocked.
"Skin-changing AI."
"If Google hadn't opened up its source code, would this small company have been able to pull it off?"
"Another subsidy scammer."
Fang Yu could imagine how many such remarks would emerge at that time.
etc!
Just as he thought of this, Fang Yu had an idea.
So that’s how it is!
No wonder the divination thinks now is not the time to announce it.
"It doesn't matter, we will continue to do what we should do." Fang Yu handed the iPad to Hua Zecheng calmly.
Hua Zecheng said anxiously, "Boss, we really can't wait any longer. The more we wait, the less valuable the news becomes! It's said that AlphaGo is going to challenge even stronger players. If it defeats Gu Jie, or a player of the same level, we'll be in a real bind!"
"Originally, we could have at least been the first AI to defeat the strongest chess player in history, but now, even if we announce it, we'll only be second. People will always remember first, no one will remember second! Don't mention Mount K2 to me, it's just an internet meme!"
Fang Yu chuckled. "Even if it's not number one, it doesn't mean no one will remember it. The highest peak in the Alps is only 4,800 meters above sea level, and it's known to the whole world. It's much more famous than the Kunlun Mountains, right?"
Hua Zecheng was stunned. Isn't this just sophistry?
Fang Yu patted Hua Zecheng on the shoulder and said, "Teacher Hua, this isn't a quibble. The Orange model's victory over Gu Jie was in an informal match. Even if it were spread, some people would still disagree. Furthermore, DeepMind already completed their match against Fan Hui in October. Regardless, we're on the back foot when it comes to publicity."
Although Fang Yu's words made some sense, Hua Zecheng was still heartbroken: "Even so, if we had announced it earlier, it would have been better than announcing it now. If we wait until AlphaGo defeats a stronger player, then announcing it would be meaningless!"
Fang Yu said meaningfully: "Oh? Is that so?"
Hua Zecheng was stunned. What does that mean?
"Teacher Hua, if we compare the Go skills of the Orange model to the current AlphaGo, which one do you think is stronger?"
"Do you think that even if AlphaGo, after several iterations of learning, defeats the strongest human Go player in a month or two, it will be able to defeat the Orange model?"
"Let the bullets fly for a while."
"Sometimes, being a hero who saves the world is far more rewarding than being a demon who destroys the world."
I finally finished writing. I was so stuck today and I don’t know why I was in such a bad state.
That's 4000 words for today. Tomorrow I'll do two updates of 6000 words each. If time permits, it'll be 8000.
