Chapter 348

Emily's movements were too fast, beyond everyone's expectations.

The head fell to the ground, and there was a trace of horror in Wetherley's wide-open eyes, as if he had never thought that he would be beheaded by Emily herself.

She stood next to the corpse with her blood-stained long sword in her hand, her face showing no ups and downs.

The faces of everyone in the room were wonderful.

Valogen couldn't hide his surprise, Ding Laji was even more dumbfounded, only Astan remained silent as usual.

Ren raised his eyebrows, realizing that he had underestimated the power of Emily's line.

A woman who can use her body as a bargaining chip in order to restore the country and revitalize the family's glory, and who specializes in intercourse techniques to win over men, beheading her cousin face to face is not only showing her determination, but also showing her decisiveness.

Of course, this was what Weatherley had asked for, without the slightest bit of self-knowledge.

It is estimated that Emily has tolerated him for a long time.

Ren looked at her soul, a large piece of white was mixed with a part of orange, indicating that while her mood was calm at the moment, there were only a few waves.

"What a woman with both ambition and courage!" He admired secretly in his heart.

Emilys suddenly looked at Bigbell.

This loyal high-ranking ranger suddenly shuddered, realizing that his scheming had been seen through. When Wetherley made a move on Ren just now, he was the only one present who didn't stop him, and he hesitated for a moment, which exposed his thoughts.

"Your Highness..." Bigbell knelt down on one knee and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain.

Emily just looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

Bigbell's face was miserable, he gritted his teeth suddenly, drew out his long sword and wiped it on his neck.

when!

With a soft sound, Bigbell's long sword was shot down.

It was Ding Laji who prevented him from committing suicide. The two were old friends for more than ten years. They couldn't bear to see him die in front of them. , it’s just a momentary obsession, please give him another chance.”

Although Varogen and Astan didn't speak, they showed sympathy and obviously agreed with Ding Laji's words.

"Ren?"

Emily looked to Ren, seeking his advice.

"This is your internal matter, and I have no right to decide." Ren didn't care about this. In fact, he had already seen that Emily was inclined to spare Bigbell.

If she asked to execute him, Emily would definitely do so.

Several of her subordinates didn't dare to complain, but it was inevitable that they felt grudges, and there was a crack in the originally united internal relationship.

And the eyes of the soul saw that Big Bell was indeed extremely loyal and had no intention of betrayal.

Emily secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put away the sword, and said in a deep voice: "Bigbell, I don't want to see you affect the Drogonburg family's restoration plan because of your personal pride, I allow you to continue Give me your allegiance, but never again."

"Of order, Your Highness." Bigbell looked ashamed and lowered his head deeply.

"Get up."

Emilys didn't look at him again, and ordered: "Your Excellency Valogen, please deal with Wetherley's funeral, and don't let the Church of the Storm notice the problem."

Wetherley is a ninth-level storm priest, a new star who is expected to be promoted to legend in the future, and suddenly died for no reason, which will definitely attract the attention of the Church of Storms.

If it is not handled well, it will be a big trouble.

Varogen said lightly: "Your Highness, please rest assured that Mr. Weatherley will be accidentally killed in a dock conflict tomorrow. In Hightork, this is a common thing."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Emily nodded in satisfaction.

She turned around and took Ren's arm again, and the two walked out of the room and went upstairs together.

Varogen watched their figures leave, and when he could no longer see them, he turned to look at the three colleagues, and still couldn't help asking with some hesitation: "Your Excellency said that he does not have the curse of blood soul, do you believe it?"

The horror of the blood soul curse is well known.

The known method to lift the curse is to reach the twentieth level of the extraordinary profession and enter the holy rank. For example, the holy soul wizard, the soul has undergone seven transformations, and each time it can weaken a part of the influence of the curse, and finally completely eliminate the curse.

Not all holy steps can be lifted successfully.

Moreover, it is too far away for ordinary extraordinary people to rise to level 20. Millions of extraordinary people may not be able to reach a holy level, and it is no different from myths and legends in the eyes of ordinary people.

Another method is the blessing of the gods.

But this is more difficult than advancing to the holy rank, because not any god has the ability to lift the curse.

The curse of the Lord of Darkness can only be resisted by a few powerful gods, and it requires a lot of divine power. Even if they are the most favored chosen by the gods, the gods are not necessarily willing to pay such a high price, and many chosen by the gods still bear the curse.

From ancient times to the present, the number of mortals who can let the gods take action to lift the curse of the blood soul can be counted on two hands.

There are only a few people who have lifted the curse, and it is of no use to the whole human race. They give birth to offspring, and as long as they combine with other humans, they will be cursed again.

It's like a terrible epidemic, and unless an antidote is found that can be used on a large scale, the curse will never be eradicated.

In addition to these two methods, almost no one has heard of the third.

Ren is neither a holy soul wizard, nor even a legendary wizard, and I have never heard that he is the chosen one of the goddess of magic. How can he lift the curse?

This is too important to the Dragonborn family. If Ren didn't have a curse, then the descendants of him and Emily would only inherit a very weak curse from Emily. With the powerful characteristics of the soul of the dragonborn, it is easy to suppress the curse, and become a pure dragonborn through practicing meditation.

If Ren told a lie, then the Dragonborn family would never be seen again!

Valogen had to worry about this.

"I believe in Your Excellency the Earl." Ding Laji said decisively, "Varogen, you have never been in contact with him, and you may not be aware of his magic and power. His current reputation is definitely not because of the holy soul. Student of the wizard, you will know later."

"Really?" Varogen was still skeptical.

Astan's rare speech: "Varogan, you'd better trust him."

Even Bigbell, who had just experienced life and death, stood up and said with a complicated expression: "Her Majesty's eyes can't be wrong, Your Excellency the Earl is the best choice."

Valogen was surprised and stopped asking.

In the middle of the night, Ren hugged Emily and spoke softly and tenderly, and suddenly smiled and said: "If you have something to say, just ask, don't hide it, I will tell you what I have to say."

Emily blushed, "Is it so obvious?"

"It's almost written on your face." Ren shook his head helplessly. She hesitated to speak several times this night, and she was distracted when she was doing things just now.

"Hmm..." Emily's exquisite body sat up straight, revealing a beautiful figure, facing his target and asked earnestly: "About the curse of blood soul..."

Ren interrupted her and replied directly: "I merged with the will of truth and automatically lifted the curse."

"The will of truth?" Because Emily is the apostle of the dragonborn, she does not need to fuse the demon soul, so she has in-depth research on the element Shi Xingbang. She froze for a few seconds before remembering, and said in shock, "The will of truth, the legendary element? Can it lift the curse?"

"Yes." Ren nodded.

Emily's reaction was similar to that of Oxilia at the beginning. It took a long time to digest this matter, she was overjoyed, and then entangled her more enthusiastically.

"Ren, I want to give birth to a child for you." She whispered in her ear, her eyes blurred.

Ren hesitated for a moment.

"Don't you want to?" Emily noticed his expression, stopped her movements, and said seriously: "I promise, as long as we successfully restore the country, our child will definitely ascend the throne of Congatro in the future. And, Each descendant will add Augustus to the Drogonburg name."

Ren shook his head, "It's not about the last name."

He didn't say a word, confident that in the future, Augustus will become a louder and more noble name than Drogonburg.

At that time, it would be a coveted honor for the Drogonburg family to be prefixed with Augustus.

"Why is that?" Emily asked eagerly.

Ren glanced at her. It was the first time he saw the dragonborn so flustered, and said slowly, "I don't want my child to incest."

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, Emily let go of her wrapped arms, and was speechless for a long time.

This is an almost unsolvable conundrum.

The Dragonborn family has been unable to find a way for thousands of years, and can only maintain their blood through intermarriage. Ren didn't want his child to have incest, so he could only combine with other humans, and the blood of dragon descendants would inevitably die out.

Seeing her dejected look, Ren comforted her, "Don't worry, I will try my best to find a way to lift the curse. Even if I can't find it, I will keep the Drogonburg family's strong bloodline, and I will never lose it because of the loss. Dragonborn souls cannot rule Congatro."

Emily's eyes moved, she bit her lips lightly and did not speak.

Ren knew that she didn't believe his words, but he still hardened his heart and continued, "I'm still young and I'm not ready to be a father. Give me a few more years."

Emily looked at him blankly.

The eyes of the soul showed that the color of her soul was like a mess of paint, changing back and forth, and her chest also fluctuated slightly.

After a long time, she sighed softly, "I understand."

Emily snuggled down again, Ren held her in his arms, patted her on the back, and sighed inwardly.

In the next few days, the two of them didn't bring up this matter again, they kept a tacit understanding in front of outsiders, and they still stayed and flew together at night, as if the conversation had never happened.

Stayed in Hightower for three days.

Ren and Emily boarded a ship and continued northward. After several days of driving, they deviated from the course and broke into an unfamiliar sea in the Thousand Island Sea.

The Thousand Islands Sea is a vast sea located between the Empire and Congatero.

In this vast and infinite icy sea, there are thousands of islands dotted all over the sea, like pearls dotted on the sea that has been ravaged by sea wind all year round, so it is called Qiandao Sea.

As early as in the last era, the elves and dwarves opened up a safe route in the Sea of ​​Thousand Islands, passing through the dangerous sea area by the shortest distance, and arriving at the port of Congatro.

After resting there, they set off again, and the next stop is the more dangerous New World.

The purpose of Ryan and others' trip is a remote island.

This island is on the west side of the route, not far from the coastline. Landing from there is the uninhabited north wind frigid zone, but it is blocked by Wansong Ridge, and the environment is harsh. Even the orcs cannot multiply in this area.

Two days later, a small white island appeared in front of the boat.

Emily looked at the island, nodded and said, "We're here, right here."

Renn had opened the eyes of the soul a long time ago. The area of ​​the island is only a dozen square kilometers. The entire island is covered by large glaciers. Looking from a distance, there is no living thing or vegetation cover. It looks lifeless.

The temperature near the island seems to be lower, the sea water is deep, and the bottom is unknown.

According to Emily, there is a dragon's lair on this island.

She has been looking for traces of giant dragons for many years, spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and finally identified three targets suitable for the conclusion of the Dragon Oath, and this is one of them.

The island is a frost sea dragon!

The Frost Sea Dragon is a different species of dragon, mutated from the White Dragon. It not only retains the ability to control frost, but also is good at swimming in the sea and preying on fish as food. When they are in the sea, they are more difficult to mess with than in the sky. They like to live on remote islands, they don't like treasures, and they don't like to contact with foreigners, so not many people know about them.

Emily took off the necklace around her neck and caressed the black horn.

After a whisper, the finger-sized horn returned to its original shape and turned into a strange-shaped horn more than half a meter long, which seemed to be carved out of dragon horn.

She held the horn for a few breaths, and said: "The summoning of the dragon can be activated, which means that there is a good dragon above the youth age nearby, and it can be summoned as long as it is blown."

Ren nodded.

The Summoning of the Dragon is a legendary treasure bestowed by Bahamut, the god of good dragons. Only the descendants of dragons can sound it. The dragons it summons are also limited. They must be good dragons who believe in Bahamut and have at least reached the age of youth. , at least possess legendary strength.

Emily sent someone to observe secretly many years ago, and confirmed that this Frost Sea Dragon was a female young dragon.

When the Dragon Oath is signed, only the Dragonborn and the appointed Sole Helper participate.

This time, only Astan followed when he came out, and everyone else stayed in Haitoke.

"let's start."

Ren put on light armor, put on a bloody cloak, took out the Thunder Hammer and the Arcane Torrent Staff, and got ready for battle.

Emily is also ready.

He opened the portal, walked in first, and appeared on a flat beach at the edge of the island. Emily came out afterward and blew the horn without hesitation.

"Om..."

The high-spirited and long horn sounded through the sky, and the sound contained a daunting majesty, as if it was an order from Bahamut, spreading across the sea area with a radius of tens of miles.

"Roar!"

Almost as soon as the horn sounded, the dragon's roar responded, the island trembled slightly, and a huge white figure jumped out of the sea not far away, heading straight into the sky.
