Blood Lord of War

Chapter 2 The Awakened

In the ancient age of the gods, apart from humans, there lived many different high-level intelligent races on the continent, such as elves, giants, ancient dragons, orcs...

It was the peak of the element tide at that time, and the element concentration was hundreds of times that of today. However, the element tide rose and fell, and the element concentration began to decline after reaching the peak, and the world entered the "Great Ebb Era".

Many races gradually disappeared in history during the ebb tide era, and the low-concentration elemental tide could not support their bodies.So in order to keep the race going, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their special abilities.

Some gave up wisdom and civilization and became barbaric and backward. For example, the ferocious and bloodthirsty gnolls are direct descendants of orcs.Some gave up their original noble blood and gradually integrated into the human world, such as the highlanders.

Why can Robin be sure that the Highlanders are descendants of the Iron Giants?Because he has a special ability, he can see the blood of creatures.

As an outsider who crossed over and occupied the magpie's nest, Robin had a "bloodline awakening system" in his body, and the system gave him an ability: the eye of bloodline.

In Robin's field of vision, whether it is the highlanders working in the fields or the highlanders watching themselves curiously by the side of the road, their bodies are surrounded by a layer of misty silver-gray mist, which shows that their bodies are flowing With the blood of the Iron Giant.

In the world of Eye of Blood, people with ancient blood will be surrounded by this kind of mist, which Robin calls "blood mist".

People with different bloodlines have different colors and concentrations of mist. For example, people with elven bloodlines have mostly green mist. The higher the purity of the bloodline, the denser the mist on their bodies.

Although the academic circles have always debated whether the highlanders are descendants of giants or not, in Robin's case, the issue has been settled.

In the eyes of other nobles, these highlanders are a group of scourges, but to Robin, they are simply a nest of treasures.

Ironically, however, the Highlanders were completely ignorant of their ancestors. Not only did they lose the power and glory of the Iron Giant, they even forgot where they came from.In ancient times, the iron giants were a higher civilization than human beings. In this era, their descendants were beaten by human beings until they lost their homes.

It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Robin couldn't wait to take over his territory, so he rode up to a highlander on the side of the road, and asked him with a smile, "I'm Baron Robin, where is Butler Homan?"

Robin imagined that the other party heard his title of baron, and immediately bowed his head with a trembling body. Unfortunately, he was simply thinking too much. The villagers were not moved at all when they heard his title of baron, and did not react at all.

This is also the point that nobles don't like highlanders. These backward barbarians don't understand the greatness of nobles at all.

The villagers in the highlands did not speak, and raised their hands indifferently to point to the wooden building on the top of the hill, the meaning was obvious.

Robin nodded, ignored the rudeness of the villagers, and walked along the dirt road to the wooden building.

Along the way, he continued to observe his territory. Apart from the highlander villagers who surprised him, he was also ashamed of the poverty of this village. Many people were barefoot and did not even have a pair of shoes.

A few minutes later, he passed through the entire Raging Waves City and arrived at the bottom of the wooden building.He tied the horse to the door, then opened the door unceremoniously and walked in.

After entering the door, there is a lobby with a long table and a few chairs. The decoration is quite shabby. The light in the room is very dark, and there is an unpleasant musty smell in the air.

"anyone there?"

Robin yelled, and then heard a rush of footsteps on the second floor, and then Butler Homan came down the stairs.

Homan is an old man in his 50s, with an ordinary appearance, clean short brown hair, gray temples, thin body, wearing coarse clothes, slightly stooped.

When he saw Robin, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that a little bit of joy appeared on his old face: "You are... Baron Robin!"

"That's right, it's me, you are Butler Homan."

Robin laughed out loud. The "Baron" was very useful to him, and finally he has someone who knows the goods.

Unlike those highlanders outside, Homan is just an ordinary human old man. Under the eyes of Robin's blood, Homan's body is not surrounded by a trace of fog.

In the human world, ordinary people like Homan are still the vast majority. They are ordinary human beings. Not only do they not have the power of blood, they don't even have the talent for fighting spirit and magic.

"Lord Baron, you've come." The old butler was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Robin to sit down.

The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and then the old butler showed Robin around his house.

Although this wooden building is not big, it has all internal organs inside, and there is even a small study room. Although there are not many books on the bookshelves, Robin's uncle is just pretending.

Although Homan is the housekeeper in name, he is actually the only servant in the house.

Uncle's bedroom was the nicest room in the house, and there was even a nice sheepskin rug on the floor.

"The room is very clean. After the master passed away, I cleaned it every day." The old housekeeper stood at the door, respectfully, talking about the old master who passed away, with a sad face on his face.

Robin wandered around the bedroom, looking around and touching it casually. This will be his bedroom from now on.

Then, he turned around suddenly and asked Homan, "Where is my uncle buried? Take me to see it."

Robin and his uncle have only met a few times, and they are almost strangers to him, but he has inherited his territory after all, so he should pay homage to him no matter what happens.

Uncle's grave is just behind the wooden building, on a flat grassy field.The tomb is very simple, without even a decent tombstone, just a small tomb surrounded by pebbles.

Robin stood in front of the tomb and pretended to mourn for a while, which moved the old butler behind him so much, what a filial nephew.

After the sacrifice, Robin walked back with the old butler, and he said as he walked, "I think the residents in our village are all highlanders?"

"That's right. Back then, the master said that he could distribute the land to them, and this group of highlanders followed."

"Are there any awakened ones among these highlanders?" Although he knew that the possibility was slim, Robin was still looking forward to it.

Homan was taken aback by the question, and then smiled and said, "Master Baron, stop joking, how can there be awakened people in such a remote place like ours?"

An awakened person is a person who has awakened the power of blood.

Those humans with ancient bloodlines, although their bloodlines are very thin now, occasionally there will be some lucky ones who can awaken the blood power of their ancestors. These people are awakeners.

Most of the awakened ones are very powerful, and depending on the blood of their ancestors, their awakened abilities are also varied.

For example, highlanders, if they awaken the blood of the iron giant, they will generally strengthen their body's ability to make the body harder, stronger and longer, while those with elven blood may awaken abilities related to natural magic.

Among the purebred humans, the most common Awakened is the Battle Knight.

That's right, Dou Qi is actually a kind of blood power. It originated from ancient humans, and it is also the most common blood power on the mainland.

In the empire, fighting spirit knights are the backbone of nobles and war machines. Those who can awaken fighting spirit are generally nobles, and occasionally some civilians will awaken fighting spirit. Once awakening fighting spirit, it is basically half a foot into the noble class , There are also some small nobles who have gradually fallen out of the ranks of nobles because they cannot awaken their fighting spirit.

There are so many people who have awakened their fighting qi ability, so many people think that they can awaken their fighting qi just by practicing.But in fact, this is a misunderstanding, just like the old housekeeper Homan, he doesn't have the power of blood in him, even if he refines himself to death, he can't awaken his fighting spirit.

The second most famous Awakened among humans are wizards, or mages as they are called.Many people think that wizards are human beings, but in fact, this is also wrong. In ancient times, wizards were wizards, and humans were human beings, but the blood relationship between the two is very close.

Wizards have a long lifespan comparable to elves and powerful magical abilities, but with the ebb of the elements, they have gradually integrated into humans and become "magicians" among humans.

Up to now, people no longer refer to fighting spirit knights and magicians as "awakened". Except for those professional old scholars, the "awakened" in the general population refers to subraces such as descendants of elves and giants the awakened ones.

In this world, the Awakened are a very powerful existence, and some nobles will even form an "Awakened Warrior Legion" composed of Awakened!
The system in Robin's body is called the "bloodline awakening system". As the name suggests, it has the ability to awaken bloodlines, so Robin will be ecstatic when he sees that the entire village is full of highlanders.

He can use the system to transform the highlander into an iron giant awakened, and form his own "legion of awakened"!
