The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 170: He who knows the current affairs is a hero (two chapters in one)

The Junction Land, also known as the Land between the Gorges, is not difficult to understand from the literal meaning. It is the central area where many regions and even different worlds meet.

Among them is a powerful country that can defeat and kill Godfrey, a mysterious foreign country that can cultivate the dancer Tanis, and a reed land rich in swordsmen and swordsmen.

The level of the world in the Land of Reeds is not high. Just like a cultivator who has reached the extreme level of cultivation, he will ascend to the fairy world. The old man who fought in the Land of Reeds and perfected his swordsmanship and himself to the peak chose to go through the heavy fog and come to the junction - —The legendary realm where God resides.

Later, while traveling through the border areas, the old man met the Blood King Mengg.

After Mengge personally experienced the old man's sword skills and madness, he gave or taught him the Shura method to soothe his desire.

To put it simply, he taught him how to use cursed blood.

Since then, the knife that had killed countless people in the old man's hand has completely turned into a cursed blade, a "mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood".

Every time he slashes, he can release terrifying blood flame sword energy.

In return, the old man decided to serve under Mengge and hunt down those rebels who were disrespectful to the Blood Dynasty and the Blood King.

As a result, one day, when he just woke up from his sleep, he suddenly found that the sword he had always carried with him had disappeared inexplicably.

After consulting Mengge, the old man embarked on an arduous journey to find the knife.

Because he had some sense of the location of the Corpse Mountain and the Sea of ​​Blood, and the special aura left over from the cursed blood, he followed Li Ang's footsteps step by step to the royal city.

In other words, the best way to find Monger is to stand still and do nothing, and the old man will come to you by himself.

Thinking of this, Li Ang looked at the medicine gourd in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Marlenia threw the old man to the ground and put a sword against his neck: "If you want to survive, take us to find that despicable man Mengge!"

The old man had no consciousness of being a prisoner at all, and acted very tough:

"Wishful thinking! My Lord will be kind to me and will never betray you!"

After Valkyrie finished singing "Red Face", Li Ang sang "White Face". He knelt down and pinched the old man's chin to face him, imitating his weird accent and said:
"There was an old saying in the past that those who work in the west are heroes."

"I have countless ways to pry your mouth open."

"I hope you can cooperate with us well, and we will not treat you badly."

The old man was unmoved and snorted: "Shameless thief!"

Li Ang saw that he didn't eat the fine wine when toasting, and directly released the black light virus, which devoured the old man in just a moment: "In that case, there is nothing more to say."

A large number of memories flooded into his mind instantly, including swordsmanship skills that he had honed for many years.

Marlenia didn't react a little. Is this how the negotiations were conducted?

After the old man disappeared, a wakizashi short sword and a blood-red medal fell.

As a dual-sword swordsman who is rare in the Reed Land, he is accustomed to using long and short swords in conjunction with each other when fighting. The blade is cast using a special method and has wavy tempering patterns on the surface, which can cause abnormal bleeding.

However, the quality of this knife is average, far inferior to the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, and has little value.

That medal is the real thing of value.

Li Ang picked it up easily and took a look at it in his hand.

The shield-shaped medallion is surrounded by thorny rose vines and a cloak. Above it is a crown of horns symbolizing evil omen. There is a three-pronged spear emblem on the shield.

I learned through the memory I just acquired that the medal is called [Pure Blood Knight’s Medal].

Almost everyone in Monger’s confidants has one.

When activated, it can transport people from any location to the Blood Dynasty deep underground.

"Now there's good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Li Ang stood up and asked.

Marlenia didn't care about being disgusted with the black light now. She was only worried that after the old man died, there would be no clues about Mengge, so she immediately replied: "Tell me the good news first."

Li Ang handed her the medal: "We can go to the Blood Dynasty."

As a native of the border area, Marlenia was quite familiar with these teleportation items and quickly understood the effect of the medal.

She barely suppressed her excitement and asked, "What's the bad news?"

Li Ang shrugged: "There is only one medal, and both of us want to see Monger."

Marlenia subconsciously clenched the medal, but immediately realized that what she was doing was wrong, and she tried with a slightly ashamed expression: "I'm sorry, I mean. If possible, can you let me go?"

"I can help you with your matter, but I must save my brother!"

Li Ang shook his head: "It's not that simple. To tell you the truth, I'm sick. I have to devour Meng like I just did to the old man to recover, otherwise I will die."

Melina, who was playing the role of a transparent person next to her, heard this and her expression suddenly changed.

Marlenia was also very surprised. A person who was usually lively and cheerful was actually sick. How could it be possible?
"Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true." Li Ang replied affirmatively: "I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

Marlenia is in trouble now, and her brother must be rescued by her own hands. She is not at ease if he entrusts it to anyone, and Li Ang also has his own legitimate demands.

Besides, Li Ang once saved her life, could she still watch him die of illness?
When the Valkyrie was extremely entangled, Melina finally came to her senses. Li Ang did not show any urgency about the right to use the medal. Apparently there were other ways.

She has experienced this man's cunning many times.

So Melina used the unique communication between the two of them and said: "Don't be too pretentious. Look at her expression of being unable to make a choice now. She feels like she is going crazy soon."

Li Ang didn't reply and turned to look at her.

In terms of observing words and colors, Xiaomu is obviously better.

Now that he was discovered, he said slowly: "Of course, there is no solution."

These words made Malenia instantly feel like she was ascending from hell to heaven: "Tell me, is there anything you can do? Can I help?"

Li Ang spoke unhurriedly: "There is a church of evil omens in the sewers of the royal city. There is a blood priest named Esgar in the church. He is a subordinate of Meng. If I guessed correctly, he should also have a ring in his hand. medal."

Before she finished speaking, Malenia immediately said: "I'll go, I'll help you get that medal!"

"I lived in the Royal City for many years when I was a child. I also followed my brother into the sewers. I have some impressions of it."

Li Ang was embarrassed: "This is not good, is it?"

Marlenia said simply: "That's it. Helping you is helping myself."

"I'm not as smart as you and brother, but fortunately I'm pretty good at mobility."

"Okay." Li Ang reluctantly agreed: "Then I'll trouble Your Highness to go there in person."

Marlenia smiled and replied: "They are all family members, don't be too polite. This is what you said."

Afterwards, it was time to rush to the sewer entrance.

Before leaving, she noticed that the stone carvings at the end of the corridor seemed different from the last time she came here, but she didn't take it seriously, thinking that they had been replaced by Menggert.

"Why did you have to let her go into the sewer?" Melina asked, looking at the disappearing back of the Valkyrie.

Li Ang said matter-of-factly: "Because I don't want to go."

Xiaomu immediately showed a look of disdain: "Your heart is much dirtier than the sewer."

It is said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are dark. If you stay with the man in front of you for a long time, your ability to harm others will gradually increase.Li Ang was very aggrieved and said with a grimace, "It's not because of you!"

"This is a lie!" Melina moved to the side, expressing her disdain to be with this person.

Li Ang moved with her, and in the end they were still side by side.

"There's epilepsy in the sewers."

Melina was stunned for a moment, and when she figured it out, she suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "I told you not to come into contact with epileptic fire, so you didn't even go into the sewer?"

Li Ang took it more naturally: "What do you think? Meat cakes like me are very popular among the outside gods! What if Three Fingers has some evil intentions and kidnaps me like Michaela did?"

"What a shameless statement!" Melina held her little hands behind her back, her eyes becoming slits unconsciously.

After that, neither of them spoke anymore, breathing the same air quietly.

After a while, Xiaomu took the initiative to speak: "If one day, I mean if, I leave, you must be obedient and not touch the unclean fire of chaos."

Li Ang said calmly: "That day will never happen, both of them."

The two sides fell into a wordless silence again.

It’s not that there is nothing to say, but there is a lot that cannot be said.

About an hour later, Malenia had not returned yet, but Bayek found the two of them first.

He informed Li Ang that Loretta stayed to guard Sunshade City, while Finley led the Holy Tree Army to set off and expected to arrive in the outer city of Rodel before dawn.

"The efficiency is quite fast." Li Ang nodded clearly.

Now that the imminent war between the Royal City, Huoshan Mansion, and Sunyin City (Holy Tree) has been eliminated, he should be considered the first to take the lead. Unfortunately, there is no peace prize established at the border.

But the title of 'the great benefactor of the border area' should be well deserved.

Melina saw that Bayek had finished reporting the letter and recalled the Soul Bell to rest, so she wanted to go back.

Li Ang didn't keep her anymore.

But what was different from usual was that Melina did not turn into a point of light and dissipate, but walked straight into his body, and it seemed as if the two of them had completely merged into one.

According to Xiaomu's own understanding, in the future the two of them will see each other less often, and it won't be a big problem if they are a little willful.

However, Li Ang keenly sensed that Melina stretched out her hand and hugged him gently before integrating into his body.

Is this a farewell?Unfortunately it's a bit too early.

He never intended to let Melina burn the tree from beginning to end, so live well, little wood.

Liang raised his head and looked at the golden tree that was still shining, with a smile on his face.

Such a big tree must look great when burned!
About half an hour later, Marlenia, who was equally happy, returned.

While still far away, he threw two things at Li Ang - a pure-blood medal and a red amulet.

"Everything went well. The blood priest named Esgar couldn't help but beat him."

Marlenia's tone rose unconsciously, and she looked very excited.

Not because of the battle, but because she would be able to meet her brother Michaela soon.

"As expected." Li Ang put away the medal and observed the amulet.

Rose vines surround it in the usual Blood Dynasty style, and in the middle is a sculpture of Monger with open arms.

This item is called [Blood King's Joy]. When the surrounding enemies are in an abnormal state and bleed, it can increase the wearer's attack power.

It can be used in conjunction with the dagger just now, or other bleeding weapons.

Li Ang's current taste has been spoiled by various large runes and legendary weapons. He has little interest in items with poor attributes, but he can keep them as gifts.

Seeing that he was looking at the talisman, Malenia explained: "I took back what I found on the blood sacrifice and the medal."

After saying that, she looked around: "Where is Xiaomei? Why didn't you see her?"

Because she didn’t know her full name, she was used to calling her Xiaomei.

Melina in Li Ang's body saw all this and silently decided to call the Valkyrie Lianlian when she saw her from now on.

"She left beforehand." Li Ang casually gave a reason.

"Okay." Malenia was quite frustrated. She originally wanted to chat more with this strange girl who always remained calm, because Melina gave her a feeling very similar to Millicent.

Fortunately, depression came and went quickly. After adjusting her mood, she immediately asked:

"When do we leave for the Blood Dynasty?"

Li Ang put away the amulet and glanced at her: "Did you forget something?"

"?" Marlenia tilted her head in confusion.

Li Ang reminded helplessly: "Bayek came back just now and said that Finlay was on the way, so we can't leave yet."

Marlenia patted her head in annoyance: "Ah, I almost forgot about this!"

Li Ang thought: You have forgotten.

He felt that Valkyrie's current state was very abnormal. After thinking about it, he decided to get vaccinated in advance.

"When you arrive at the Blood Dynasty, no matter what you see, you'd better calm down first."

"It might not be as bad as you think."

Marlenia heard something in the man's words, and her expression suddenly became extremely nervous.

In her imagination, Meng should have wanted something from her brother, so she used despicable means to abduct him and imprison him, but now it seems that it is far from that simple.

"What do you mean, what happened to my brother?!"

Li Ang considered his words and prepared to inform her of Michaela's current situation in a more tactful way.

"You and your brother have a private agreement, right? He promises to help you completely cure corruption."

Marlenia nodded subconsciously, and then asked: "How do you know?"

Then I thought this question was stupid, because the entire border area knew that Michaela was looking for a way to cure corruption everywhere, and for whom it was not difficult to guess.

Therefore, Li Ang was too lazy to answer her question and continued: "You must know how difficult it is to deal with the stubborn disease of corruption."

"The same goes for Michaela."

"In the end, he believed that only by becoming a true god can he perfect the pure gold law he created and help you solve the corruption that is constantly growing in your body."

Marlenia nodded again, she knew this, Michaela had told her about it.

"Then what does this have to do with my brother being kidnapped?"

At this time, Li Ang looked in the direction of the platform at the foot of the tree and said meaningfully: "It has a very big relationship. He was kidnapped by Meng on purpose, just to become a god."

　Updates will be resumed tomorrow, keep your word!
