From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 84 The March of the Dead

"Far away in the imperial capital, His Majesty is over sixty years old and has not summoned foreign ministers for half a month. Do you know what this means?" Theus asked.

"Stand in line." Jiang Yuan frowned. It's no wonder that the Titus family was ruined and declined. The earl couldn't withstand the storm in this kind of turmoil. It was normal for the nobles to fall like wheat.

"The left minister Mu Li and the right minister Ernest. I have a feeling that one of them will hold great power in the future. The two are currently in the same position in the imperial capital, and every year the foreign peoples from the north go south to consume the population or plunder money and food. This time General Esdeath of the Ernest faction is in charge of the winter hunt, but Muli has already hinted that the Northland nobles are not allowed to provide support, so I am still hesitant," Theus said.

"Do you have a bad opinion of Ernest?" Jiang Yuan asked, "But this is not enough to determine your judgment. There must be more important reasons."

Theus nodded and continued, "There are many cavalry from foreign ethnic groups in the north. Coupled with the impact of the big cold wave, the scale of this southward march is estimated to be unprecedented. Esdeath has just been promoted to the position of general. Based on her past performance, I I suspect she plans to venture outside the Great Wall to prove herself."

"You don't think much of her." Jiang Yuan simply concluded.

"Yes, Berkshire is a bit far away from the four fortress counties. Even if we win, we won't be able to get much slaves and war horses. I can't see the benefits, but I have to bear huge risks. If it hadn't been involved in factional disputes, I would have clearly rejected it long ago. It's gone." Theus sighed.

"So what did you originally plan to ask me to do?" Jiang Yuan asked. He could not directly tell the other party that Ornest would win the final victory, because a judgment without factual basis can only be regarded as speculation. This kind of talk on paper cannot convince a real power. count.

"Get married, so that even if the Theus family falls, they will be reborn in you." Theus Tuqiongdong saw that you must not twist some children.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

As expected of a noble, this guy never forgot the purpose of the conversation.

"You should consider letting me participate in the winter hunt. This is the only way to avoid taking sides and not suffering attention and attacks. The Theus family sends people to fight, but they are not the family leader. As long as my character is rebellious and domineering, no matter what happens afterwards The outcome will be easy for all parties to accept. After all, all men participating in the war would be too harsh for the Earl's family."

"I have indeed thought about it." Tius admitted frankly, "But war is not a child's play. If I take the initiative, you will definitely connect it with external rumors. The danger of death will cause cracks in the trust between us. This is also the reason behind the rumors. Whether it is sending you to the battlefield or dividing us, the other party will not suffer any loss."

After saying that, the earl's face no longer looked gentle, but became extremely serious, "Besides, people's hearts are unpredictable. You have to consider the possibility that I really want to take the opportunity to kill you. Including this reminder, maybe it's just a warning." I can't tell you my true thoughts with malicious sincerity, because words can no longer express my heart after blurting out. In the final analysis, there is still a countess in the world."

A strange atmosphere spread between the two, trust and suspicion arose together. It was difficult to control them with words alone. This was an inaccessible distance.

"At this stage, I need military exploits and fame from the outside world. The rest are just difficulties and accessories at best, but I won't use your people. Risks must be avoided." Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"My brother is really outstanding." Theus had a complicated look on his face, mixed with relief and disappointment. Noel chose to support but not to trust. He had adapted to certain laws of the nobility on the first day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

"I want to see your collection of books. You can see different things from different perspectives." Jiang Yuan said.

"Of course, but before that, I want to ask, do you like knives?" Theus said suddenly. "All weapons are tools. It doesn't matter whether you like them or not. If they are useful, I will accept them."

Theus had a headache. Being too rational sometimes made it difficult for people to get close to him. He had already begun to worry about Noel's marriage.

"1000 years ago, in order to maintain his rule for a long time, the founder of the empire summoned the world's top alchemists with unimaginable financial resources and power, using the legendary super dangerous species as raw materials, and adding arcane Using rare metals such as Lihagang and a large number of lost secret techniques, 48 ​​weapons that cannot be copied were developed and called Teigu."

Theus stood up and took down the long knife hanging on the wall behind him. The knife was carefully packaged to look like a decoration.

"400 years ago, the Lord of Zhongxing wanted to recreate this great cause, but only the afterglow of alchemy was left in that era. The weapons produced in the end were far less powerful than the imperial weapons, so they could only be named after the imperial weapons."

Theus handed over the long knife.

"Our ancestor was one of the alchemists who participated in the production of imperial equipment 400 years ago. He did not have the ability to surpass his time, but after spying on the secrets of the Imperial Equipment, he added a unique TiO to this imperial equipment passed down from his family. According to the bloodline certification of Tius, no matter where the knife ends up, it will eventually return to the hands of Tius' bloodline. The outside world also knows this, so there are very few people who covet it.

March of the Dead·Eight Rooms, it is a reward for your support for me, and it is also the beginning of our trust. "

"You can't use it anymore." Jiang Yuan took over the dead man's army. This imperial weapon resembled a sword, with a jade-like black scabbard and a rectangular handle with complicated patterns carved on it.

"The user's first impression of the Teigu is extremely important. I only saw it after my parents died. I was young and felt unhappy because of the name. I can't force this, even if I need its power." Us said, "The current empire reminds me of those old people. After decay, they will usher in destruction. The glory of the family may be reborn in the change. For this reason, I will try my best to prevent myself from suspicion, jealousy, and resentment, especially It's you."

"You seem to have great expectations for me."

"Because I know I can't do it, I can only do this."

Jiang Yuan took out the March of the Dead, and neither the Imperial Equipment nor the bloodline certification rejected him. For the latter, since the Star Gate gave him this identity, he would not be unable to do even this small thing.

"You are the Teigu user." Theus said in an incomprehensible tone.

"It's quite suitable." Jiang Yuan replied. He himself had died many times, and now he could move freely. His initial impression was not bad. There was no reason why the sword should not respond. In a sense, he was the marching dead.

After killing an enemy in March of the Dead and Eight Rooms, the curse will turn the corpse into a puppet and manipulate it. Up to eight of them can exist at the same time. The status and abilities of the puppet are the same as in life and can be stored in the space inside the sword. The weak point is the person who controls it. The more puppets there are, the greater the physical exertion on the holder. After the ability is released, the puppets will turn into ordinary corpses.
