C130

Teuton Capital.

In the core fortress of the Augustus family, there was a three-storey, three-ringed room that was completely protected and shrouded by a thick layer of dark clouds. At the heart of these dark clouds lay a body covered in blood.

This person's face was covered in a thick bandage, and the blood on his face had yet to be washed clean. His face was very pale, and perhaps because of the pain, but his expression was unusually pained, causing one to feel a twinge in their heart. It was also a strong tinge of the sadness of death. However, this person seemed to have something to attend to and refused to leave.

This person was actually Qi Rui, who had just separated from Thunder not long ago.

The most famous and highest-levelled person in the Augustus family, Li En, looked at his precious son with a sorrowful expression. His eyes were filled with despair. Seeing Qi Rui's painful expression, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes were instantly replaced by hatred.

The members of the Augustus family who had lost their backbone looked at the Marquis of Augustus and Li En with expectant eyes. At this very moment, they, who had always believed themselves to be the best in the world, had lost all presumption. Confusion put them in an extremely dangerous situation.

The Marquis of Augustus, the father of Thunder, the previous generation Family Head of Augustus. Although he didn't have the cultivation of a master and his body was already in a lot of inconvenience, he was still the calmest person on the scene.

Marquis of Augustus said: "This time, the enemies are too powerful, too terrifying. In order to kill them all, we actually used our peak level to kill them halfway."

Li En, who had put aside his previous hatred with Marquis of Augustus, said: "This time, it is definitely the doing of a traitor, otherwise how could we grasp the secret route of our family? Moreover, only the core members will know what Qi Rui's family's greatest backing is. "

Although there were many people guarding outside, but a sound barrier was set up, so they were not afraid of divulging Augustus family's greatest secret.

The Marquis of Augustus sighed: "Loyal and hardworking, in exchange for a merciless betrayal, is it really that chilling?"

"Seems like you know who came out, Qi Rui!"

Thunder suddenly came out of the air and slowly came to the front of Marquis of Augustus and Li En. However, the target of the lightning was Qi Rui. He really wanted to know why such an earth-shattering change had occurred in such a short period of time.

"Thunder!"

Marquis of Augustus and Li En obviously did not expect that Thunder would appear in such a way.

When Thunder sensed Qi Rui's situation, his eyebrows creased and he said: "Even burning one's soul requires such a price. Looks like the enemy really does belong to the peak level."

Finished speaking, Thunder God mercilessly dripped half a drop of the spring of life onto Qi Rui's lips. In an instant, Qi Rui's blood-red color had recovered by more than half. It was a pity that the most serious injury Qi Rui suffered was not from his physical body, but from his soul, the consequence of burning his soul was overdrawing his lifespan. If Thunder did not guess wrongly, even with the help of the spring of life, Qi Rui would not be able to live past three months.

Even so, the Marquis of Augustus and Li En were still overwhelmed by the sight. How could they not know that the thing that Lightning had used to attack was the spring of life? With that kind of surging vitality and that kind of pure primordial energy, even if Marquis of Augustus and Li En closed their eyes, they could still guess what it was.

"Cough …"

After a series of fierce coughs, Qi Rui woke up.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the familiar figure of Thunder. His bright, large eyes were filled with warmth, and a smile had always hung on his lips. This was the impression that Thunder had given him, and now this impression overlapped with his dream.

Thunder was not polite either, asking directly: "There are only a handful of people in the entire Teutonic Kingdom that could beat you up this badly, who actually did this? I can avenge you! "

Qi Rui replied with a pained smile: "The enemy is very strong, so strong that he has far surpassed the endurance range of the Augustus family. The Leader Senderos of the Royal Knight Group personally took action. One spear strike destroyed the Keeper of the Guardian Ring, the second spear strike destroyed all of my attacks, and the third spear strike forced me to burn my soul. If it wasn't for the fact that I gave up on the surface, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return to my clan. "

The magical creature that was equivalent to seventh step was actually defeated without even being able to withstand a single spear strike.

Thunder asked, "Why is it him? He has no reason to act? "

The Casanova Knight, Li En, answered for his precious son, "Yes, he has enough of a reason. Because not only did he submit himself to the First Prince, he is about to become the new master of the dark spirit. "

"dark spirit?"

Thunder had heard of the Maldini family's "Night Devil," but had never heard of the so-called dark spirit, so he really didn't know what kind of organization the dark spirit was.

Marquis of Augustus asked with a hint of anger: "Do you know what is the most important thing in the eyes of the imperial family? It is not our loyalty, but the dark spirit that we have grasped since a hundred years ago. Our Augustus family has always been the most loyal family in the empire. Even if the royal family betrayed us, the Augustus family would never betray us. If it weren't for us collecting intelligence for the country and assassinating their strongest enemy, the Teutonic Kingdom would have already fallen into chaos. "

"So it turns out that the real value of the Augustus family lies in the intelligence network of the empire."

Thunder finally understood.

Why was the Augustus family, who was so weak and had almost no value in making use of it, repeatedly gaining the royal family's favor? He even bestowed the noble title of "Marquis" to it.

Marquis of Augustus proudly said: "On the surface, Augustus family is not very strong, but in reality, she possesses power and influence that the Fei Erde Family and Maldini family do not. It can even be said that although the Kingdom may not have Fei Erde's family and Maldini family, it cannot do without Augustus family. "

"Because once a Teutonic Kingdom has no Augustus family, it's the same as having no eyes."

Thunder was very familiar with the role of an intelligence agency. However, Thunder was curious as to why the Kingdom would make such a big move. They would rather throw away their eyes than support a loyal family.

No matter how he thought about it, Thunder could not understand, so he asked, "Since the Augustus family is so important, why is the Kingdom working so hard?"

Marquis of Augustus replied with a cruel sneer, "It's all because of the fight for the throne. In order to test the loyalty of our various precious sons, our great King Rhine had pushed the beautiful Princess A Deliyanuo and our clan straight to the tip of the blade. Every ambitious prince wants to swallow the Augustus family and the intelligence organizations that we have. As long as you capture our clan, it is equivalent to covering the eyes of the kingdom and allowing us to do whatever we want. "

"So it's the decisive factor."

Thunder finally knew why things had turned out this way.

The Windflow Knight Li En knew that his own reputation was completely built on the name of the wind, and not because of the thunder, but he did not want to underestimate them, so he carefully reminded them: "Every master in the clan has the right to know the core secrets of the family, and every new Family Head will automatically become the leader of the dark spirit tissue. This is not only because the Family Head can inherit the Ka Tu's summoner s that were passed down from their ancestors, it is also reasonable to obtain the loyalty of the dark spirit's Hand. This is because the goal of the dark spirit's Hand is only to serve the previous generations of the Occulus Family Head. "

"Hand of the dark spirit?"

The more Thunder listened, the more confused he became.

The Marquis of Augustus explained, "The dark spirit is the most mysterious and most terrifying assassination organization in the Empire, and even the Night Devil s are far inferior to them. In the Grace Mainland, in the top ten assassination organisations, we are ranked third! The hands of the dark spirit s are the core strength of the dark spirit, they are the elites that our clan has nurtured with all our might, and they are the foundation of all of us. "

Thunder immediately asked: "Who is the current dark spirit's Hand controlling right now?"

The Marquis of Augustus replied, "At this time, the hand of dark spirit is in the hands of Father's first janitor, Ai Feiluode, who is a practitioner of peak. Back then, after Master Father was assassinated by the Starfrost Sword Saint, Ai Feiluode abandoned all of his glory and joined the dark spirit without turning back. After ten years of training, he was already one of the most terrifying assassins in the continent. "

"Grand Swordmaster Billowing Peak!"

Thunder really did not expect the dark spirit to be this powerful. No wonder they were ranked third in the continent's assassination organisations.

At this moment, Qi Rui took off the Guardian Ring, passed it over to Thunder, and said: "Thunder, I plead for you to accept this heavy burden, because within the entire clan, other than you, no one else can carry this burden."

Thunderclap wanted to reject them, but Marquis of Augustus and Li En gave him pleading looks at the same time, causing his heart to soften.

At this time, Thunder realized that both Marquis of Augustus and Li En were old, frighteningly old. The previously wise Marquis of Augustus had disappeared, and he had turned into an old man who had revealed himself, while the amicable Li En had lost his usual domineering and carefree, just like an unambitious uncle.

It was only then that Thunder realized why the position of Family Head had fallen on Qi Rui's shoulders. It was because of their old man, whereas the young generation really didn't have any expectations for it.

Marquis of Augustus reminded: "I believe you also know that our family has three ancestral summoner s. You have seen the Guardian Ring s already, but the remaining two still haven't been passed to Qi Rui, so the only thing you are afraid of is that something might happen to Qi Rui. Our family will not have the chance to turn the tables on him. However, if you are to take over the position of Family Head, we will pass on the remaining two treasures to you. "

"Alright!"

If Thunder refused again, then he would be an idiot.

Although there would be endless trouble after taking over, the benefits they would bring would not be negligible. At the very least, Thunder thought that the three Ka Tu summoner were worth it for him to risk his life.

The Marquis of Augustus took out a pearl necklace like item and said, "This item is called the Fornoy's necklace. Each of the Soul Orb s represent a servant of the Undead. The core strength of the Hand of the dark spirit is composed of thirteen Undead Assassins and Ai Feiluode with seventh step cultivation. There has never been an enemy on a scale worthy of the Hand of the dark spirit moving up to thirteen people. "

The Fornoy, the mythical god of murder, the god of assassins.

When Thunder heard this, his mind trembled and he asked urgently: "Does this Soul Orb have a limit to the number of people, or a limit to their strength?"

The Marquis of Augustus replied, "They are undead creatures. They do not have any so-called time limit for summoning nor do they have harsh Space Rules s. As long as you have enough souls to feed them, you can control them. If you have the ability, you can definitely increase the number of Soul Orb to a hundred, or even a thousand, as long as you are able to provide enough souls to feed them. "

If the Shadow Knight led the undead servants, then it would be a standard undead army. If this group of Undead army were to go to the underworld, they could do as they pleased. Suddenly, Thunder felt that the Fornoy's necklace was made to be with the Shadow Knight.

"What else?"

Thunder had already experienced the power of summoner, so he hurriedly asked for the last thing.

Marquis of Augustus replied with a bitter smile: "The last summoner is the most mysterious and also the most boring. Other than the ancestor who accidentally died, the Family Head used up all its blood and resources to be unable to find out its specific uses. Until now, I still do not know its uses, and can only store it as an antique. "

Finished, the Marquis of Augustus handed over a dimensional ring to him in a mysterious manner.

After Thunder received the dimensional ring, he immediately felt a mysterious power being transmitted through the ring, causing his entire body to tremble, but his consciousness had cleared up quite a bit.

"It seems to have the effect of a Calm Halo!"

Thunder secretly pondered for a moment. After carefully hiding his body, he stood up.

How did Ka Tu's ancestor die? However, there seemed to be a problem with the current situation. However, he was in no hurry. Even after so many generations of talented Family Head had been unable to see through it, it was naturally impossible for him to figure it out with a glance.

"Where are you going?"

Marquis of Augustus and Li En felt that Thunder seemed to have the intention to leave and wanted to stop him. After all, they still had a lot of things to do.

Thunder slowly replied, "Since I've accepted such a heavy burden, I naturally have to help you guys to shoulder this burden. Let me go see how strong the dark spirit is before deciding on what to do next. "

With that, Thunder ignored everyone and left.
