Pirate System

Chapter 273 The Scarlet Curtain (Big Chapter)

This ancestral hall was exactly the same as what Michael remembered, the dark precipitation was like the substance, the dragon-shaped statues were still so hideous, and on the wall in front of them, the Hahn family crest was silent as always. Once upon a time, this family crest symbolized supreme glory, and even the emperor had to bow his head proudly in front of this family crest. But now, this family crest has been forgotten by most people. The gloomy wind resounded here, and it sounded like the lessons and scoldings of the ancestors.

"I am still young, full of vigor and vitality, and there is still a lot of time. I will definitely be able to revive the glory of the Hahn family"

Michael raised his head to swear to the family crest, and at the same time encouraged himself. For this goal, he will spare no expense, whether it is to cultivate hard, take advantage of relatives, or pretend to smile to befriend the faint-hearted king, as long as he can achieve the goal, he is willing to pay any price.

The ancestors of the Hahn family once fought in the north and south, and opened up most of the territory of Longya Kingdom. At that time, the enemy would shudder when they heard the surname of Hahn, and the commoners would sing their praises when they heard the surname of Hahn. Michael still has a long way to go to restore the Hahn family to their former glory. This is the only way he can get the same merits as his ancestors.

Back then, the Hahn family relied on expanding their territory to build their military exploits. Now, times have changed. The sea has replaced land and has become a battlefield for countries to compete. Michael wants to imitate his ancestors, raise the flag of the Hahn family, and tread the sea

"The ancestors, you continue to sleep peacefully."

After Michael finished speaking in a serious tone, he stepped back, left this dark ancestral hall, walked through the corridor, climbed the stone stairs, and returned to the world above after several turns, breathing fresh air. He came to the ground with him, and he had a heavier responsibility on his shoulders.

"Colonel, just now the king sent someone to bring the news, asking you to go to the palace to face the saint immediately."

Not long after Michael came out of the ancestral hall, a messenger came to report. He went to the changing room and changed the clothes stained with the ashes of the ancestral hall, and put on the full-bodied colonel uniform. The uniform has golden wheat ears on both shoulders, and the epaulettes are shiny. Every line and every corner of the uniform is so tough and capable. The spotless white adds a noble temperament. He took a carriage and rushed from the mansion to the palace. Although it was the palace, it was not much different from the labyrinth.

The current king of Longya Kingdom is only fifteen years old, innocent and playful, spending money like flowing water, and indifferent to national affairs. Fortunately, the scholars and prime ministers in the imperial court were loyal, painstakingly presided over the government, and restrained the king in many ways.

Michael was quite dissatisfied with the young king, but he was dissatisfied with it. He would not give birth to two hearts. His glory could only be obtained in Longya Kingdom. He knew that he did not have the ability to change the king, nor did he have that position. He could only grasp the king's temper and do some things to please the king, which made him deeply loved by the king, and he rose to the sky, and he was promoted by several ranks within two years.

He was guessing the purpose of the king's summons all the way, maybe he wanted him to fight two more pirates? Or go to another port and come back with some fun gadgets?

When he actually saw the king, all his guesses were overturned. The king who always had a smile on his face was sitting on the throne with a frown and drank everyone in the hall. It seemed that something had happened. To discuss privately. The words used to please the king in the past seem to be no longer used today. It is a wise saying to accompany the king as to accompany the tiger.

"Michael, come to me quickly, I have something important to tell you." The young king rubbed his temples and waved at his favorite, with a huge gem ring on his delicate fingers, and the ring gave off a dream. like light.

Michael took two steps forward, closing the distance in an instant, leaning over to give a knightly salute, he looked at the smooth ground under his feet, and the king's blushing face was reflected on it.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Get up, get up, it's time, there are so many etiquette."

Michael stood up. Although he was tall, in front of the throne, he still had to look up at the king's dragon face.

"You should know about the resurrection spring, right?" the king asked in a tender voice, with a hint of worry in his voice.

"of course I know."

"Then I'll save my tongue. Let me tell you straight, the Resurrection Spring has reappeared in the world. Just a few days ago, a mountain spring appeared in the Dragon Tooth Kingdom. Zhiquan paid tribute to the palace and received a reward."

Michael linked the king's concerns with the Resurrection Spring, and came up with a chilling guess that was no trivial matter, and it was better to pretend to be confused first. He said calmly: "This is a good thing. The Resurrection Spring is a treasure from ancient times, and it was left by the old gods."

"What a shit." The king slapped the armrest of the throne and roared with a sullen face, "The prime minister, the queen mother, and some old officials in the court all blushed when they saw the Resurrection Spring, and they all wanted to gather the Resurrection Spring this time. Then resurrect my father,"

it is as expected.

Michael was clear in his heart, with a look of sincerity and fear on his face, and said inexplicably, "Isn't this a good thing..."

"Don't pretend to be stupid, you are smarter than me, you should understand what I mean." The king showed a gloom that was not in line with his age, his face was frosty, and his expression was like a gangster on the execution ground, "If my father is resurrected, In Wang's words, who will sit under my butt?"

No matter how foolish and playful the king is, as long as he encounters a major event involving his own throne, he will arouse a keen political sense.

The king has already made it clear, so Michael doesn't have to pretend any more. He lowered his head and said solemnly, "Michael is willing to do anything for your majesty."

"Okay. The important task this time is left to you. I will strongly advocate that you collect the Resurrection Spring. No matter who is against it, it will be useless. However, the task on the bright side is to ask you to collect the Resurrection Spring. In fact, you only need to come out. It's fine if you don't work hard. Just pretend, don't gather all the resurrection springs. But it's not good if you are too negligent. You should try to find a chance to get three or two resurrection springs, and then stop. Finally, put all the resurrection springs together. , hand over to others. In this world, anyone can be resurrected, but I can't make my father open his eyes"

In front of the throne, the father-son family relationship was trampled to this point.

Michael was accustomed to being ruthless and intriguing towards the royal family. He didn't care about the king's behavior. What he really valued was the reward for doing it. It is estimated that after this, his career will be smoother.

"As ordered."

Michael lowered his head with a smile on his face.

Every time the Resurrection Spring appears in the world, six springs will appear together. Only the Spring of Death will appear only after the other Resurrection Springs have owners. Rainbow Springs and Mountain Springs were discovered one after another, and in other parts of the world, there were traces of other Resurrection Springs.

The Black Sea is located in the south of the Sea of ​​Dreams, adjacent to the mainland of Kovale to the east, and extends to the headland of the ancient continent to the west, which is larger than the Sea of ​​Dreams. The Black Sea has been separated from the control of the five major empires and the Golden Beard Pirates. There are many other countries here, and even the pirate governor has other people.

Somewhere on the bottom of the Black Sea, there lives a tribe of tiger-shark people. Zela has been staying in this tribe for two months. Although he has delayed a lot of things, he still cannot leave. Because he won't give up until he gets the Sea Spring away.

"Resurrection Spring is indeed a relic of the old god, but it is so difficult to obtain." Zela said angrily, he floated in the current, and the sharkskin cloak fluttered with the current. In front of him is the fifth source of day and night thinking - the fountain of the sea.

It was a storm sphere, ten yards in diameter, and a violently swirling airflow formed inside the sphere. The speed was so fast that any object that penetrated it would be mercilessly smashed. In the center of the sphere, a floating spring water could be faintly seen, exuding beautiful fluorescence, gushing smartly.

In the past two months, Zela tried various methods, but none of them worked. As a warlock, he is good at communicating with the abyss and attacking people's inner shadows, but he can't do anything about this kind of physical defense.

"Lord Alliance Leader, haven't you already sent someone to invite the 'Agura' warriors over?" the Naga fishmen on the side interjected.

Agoura is rarely known on the shore, but in the underwater world, it is famous. It is a tiger shark man, swimming as fast as an arrow from a string, and capable of tearing whales with both arms, and is extremely brave and good at fighting. With its strength, it is possible to penetrate the storm ball and take out the fountain of the sea hidden in it.

Moreover, only the murlocs in the sea can be trusted by Zera.

"Agula's status and influence are even greater than mine. If you only send a few men over, I'm afraid you won't be able to invite him. The gifts I send may not be in his eyes. It seems that I still have to Go and invite him in person, there is hope." Zera said in a deep voice.

"But if you leave, our strength will be greatly reduced. I heard that some other tribes are also fighting the idea of ​​​​this resurrection spring. I am afraid that the rest of us will not be able to keep it."

"That can't be ignored. The longer you delay, the more dangerous this place will be. It's better to get this sea spring as soon as possible."

Zela's pupilless eyes squinted and shone with cold light. His own appeal was far from enough. To launch a full-scale war on the land, he needed more power. The Resurrection Spring is an opportunity, but collecting the first Resurrection Spring fell into such a big predicament, which shows how difficult it is to collect them all. He felt up and down, and he didn't know whether it would be successful, but it was impossible to complete the Hongyuan of unifying the races on the shore.

"Whether it is successful or not, I, Zera, only ask for a clear conscience and to be worthy of the thousands of compatriots in the sea."

At the same time, another location.

Within the territory of the Kothoman Empire, in the dense forest of elves, although it is still full of vitality, the trees planted here are all ordinary trees, which are different from those in ancient times. A long time ago, this forest was full of magical trees, some of which even possessed intelligence and were able to communicate with people.

Not only the trees, but also the extremely important altar has been damaged. Because the stone used to build the altar is more precious than pearl agate, the elves can't pay for the maintenance at all, so they can only let the altar continue to break down.

The decrease of pure-bred elves and the withering of the tree of life have made the noble race of the past down to the present level.

Ups and downs, ups and downs, everything is like that. Even the gods are divided into old gods and new gods, and they cannot escape the doom of rise and fall, not to mention a mere race.

However, it is one thing to think about it, and another to accept it. Purebred elves still haven't given up the idea of ​​revitalizing the race, and are actively working towards it. The purebred elves' desire to marry the Corthoman royal family shows how eager they are to breathe new life into this dying race.

Around the altar, gathered a matriarch, five pure-blooded elf elders, and two tall and old tree people.

Elves yearn for equality, and even if Kelitina is the patriarch, she has to sit around with the elders and the treemen and listen to the whispers of the forest breeze. Although Kelly Tina is old, there is no trace of the years on her face, and her skin is as delicate as a baby. If she sat with her daughter, Blood Flower Eunice, they would definitely be mistaken for sisters.

Kelly Tina and the others were all staring at a wooden basin placed in the center of the altar. The wooden basin was made of agarwood and exuded bursts of fragrance. In the wooden basin, there was a green liquid. It emits fluorescence, and there is a water wave on the surface, pointing in one direction. Celitina felt that the water wave was guiding the future of purebred elves.

"We got the seventh source of the Resurrection Spring - the Wood Spring. I think this is the spirit of our ancestors in the sky, the inspiration and help for our descendants." Kelly Tina raised her beautiful face and looked opposite. tree of life.

The holy tree that dominates the rise and fall of the elves has withered to the point of heartache. The spring of life derived from the roots of the tree is only a small pool, and it is not enough to raise fish. Elves do not need the tree of life to survive, but if the elves drink the fountain of life regularly, they can improve their physical fitness, natural power and magic power. It can be said that no matter what profession an elves are, drinking the Fountain of Life can get great benefits.

Except for elves, if other races drink the fountain of life, not only will they not be promoted, but they will be poisoned to death. Therefore, the elves have always regarded the tree of life and the fountain of life as gifts from the gods.

Because of the withering of the tree of life, the number of strong people in the elves has been decreasing day by day, and the decline in strength has caused the elves to fall to the altar, and even their status among countries has also declined. Until now, it depends on the face of the Comansor Empire The embarrassment of living.

Although Kelitina is a female, as long as she is the patriarch, she has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the pure-blooded elves. If we can gather all the Resurrection Springs this time, we can use the power of Resurrection Springs to save the Tree of Life. The Resurrection Spring can not only revive living things, but also plants, which is recorded in ancient scrolls. After the Tree of Life gains the power of the Resurrection Spring, it can regenerate and grow into a large forest. By that time, purebred elves will be able to reproduce the glory of the year.

"Every time the Resurrection Spring appears in the world, it will trigger a **** battle. Most of the people participating in the competition are huge countries or forces. With the current strength of purebred elves, are they capable of participating in this kind of competition?" The tree man asked worriedly. , spit out a rotten taste from his mouth, and from some holes, you can see the hollow inside his body.

"We will do our best to join forces with other common elves. In this way, our strength will not be small," Kailitina said.

"It is too dangerous to compete for the Resurrection Spring. If there is a conflict with other great empires, it may lead to the disaster of genocide. The risk is too great."

"I agree with this opinion. The hope of competing for the Resurrection Spring is too slim, and it is not worth risking the lives of the whole family."

"I think we might as well pay the Spring of Wood to the Cormansor royal family in exchange for some territory and manpower."

"Not bad."

The elders expressed their opinions one after another, and their attitudes were basically the same, and they were unwilling to enter the dangerous whirlpool of competing for the Resurrection Spring.

The more she listened, the more angry she became. She raised her thin eyebrows and shouted in a crisp voice: "You are short-sighted, can you only see tomorrow? Our race has reached the point of life and death. If this continues, there will be no more than two generations. , the tree of life will be completely withered, and the glory of pure-blooded elves will be gone. In that case, what is the difference between extermination of the family? To seek temporary comfort and ignore the outside world, this is simply a foolish act of hiding one's ears. Waiting desperately for death, it is better to give it a try. Once successful, the purebred elves will be able to reverse the decline and rise again. Isn't this our mission? Where is the courage of you purebred elves? Where is the arrogance? ? Gentlemen here, please wake up."

This reprimand made the elders blushing, and some people left the table in anger, and the remaining elders did not wake up, and were still persuading Kailitina.

But Kelly Tina made up her mind this time, she stood up abruptly and swore: "I have had enough of this day of begging for the Cormanthor Empire, even if I sacrifice my life, I will gather all to resurrect. spring"

Kelly Tina's determination is like a drawn sword, but she is far more than the one who makes up her mind.

Here is another place, located in Xiyao Country, called Hurricane Castle. A pair of magicians and apprentices lived in the castle. Each of the five major empires has one to three magicians in charge. Although they are rarely used, it is enough as long as they have a deterrent effect. As long as there are magicians in the empire, other empires will not dare to attack.

A high-level magician can match an army and even destroy a city.

An empire backed by magicians is called a real empire

The major empires respected magicians, and so did the Comansor Empire. The Hurricane Castle where the two magicians lived was even taller than the imperial city. There were thousands of servants in the castle alone.

You are an apprentice of a magician, enjoying the treatment of a duke, living in the most gorgeous castle in the empire, and enjoying the best treatment in the world... But Mech is still not happy. If possible, he would rather use everything now in exchange for Alice's life.

"Alice, it's all my fault for not being able to protect you. If I could guard you at that time, you'd be fine." Maggie cried while standing in front of her lover's grave, her hot tears falling down land.

He and Alice are young lovers who live a happy life. As a magician above ten thousand people, he once thought that the whole world was crawling under his feet, and that nothing in the world could endanger him. His arms can protect Alice and make her the happiest woman in the world.

However, a flower pot that fell from the upper floors of the castle shattered his self-confidence and took Alice's life.

This is really a great irony, the dignified magician's couple was killed by a flower pot. A small flower pot, a plain flower pot.

It was only at this time that Mech understood that the magician was strong, but he couldn't escape the tricks of fate. No matter who he was, maybe he would lose everything if he turned around. After Alice's death, he fell into unprecedented pain, although he killed all the servants of the castle to vent his anger, but this could not save Alice's life.

The silver bell-like laughter, and the face more beautiful than any jewels and flowers in the world, left him.

Mech felt that all the strength in his body was taken away, and he knelt down in front of the grave like a knife, stroking the cold tombstone, as if it was the body temperature of his lover.

A flame appeared out of thin air and instantly transformed into the figure of an old man. The flame disappeared, and the facial features and clothes of the old man became clear. He wore a pointed hat, thick spectacles over his hooked nose, and a curvy gray beard. He doesn't look as kind as an ordinary old man, and his eyes are too sharp, giving people a very inaccessible feeling.

"God descends upon the magician. The meaning of our life should be to pursue the 'source' of all things, not to cry for the love of our children. If your current performance is known to my old magician friends , I have to lose all this old face." The old man was Maggie's master, named Kelly, known as the undead phoenix.

Mech didn't even look back. In the past, he didn't dare to be so presumptuous, but his heart has been hollowed out and he doesn't care about anything.

"Without Alice, what can I do even if I become a tenth-order magician? I don't even have happiness, so what's the point of everything else."

"The origin is above the tenth order. Once you reach that level, it will not be difficult to resurrect a person."

I don't know how many times Maggie has heard these words, but what is the source, no magician can say, it is the original power that only gods can touch. Mech believed in the words of the master and also believed in the existence of the source. However, how many years have there been no tenth-order magicians? Five hundred years? Or a thousand years? Or longer? Since even the tenth order can't be reached, let alone contact the source. Mei Qi can be regarded as a genius in the sky, but he is not proud enough to think that he can reach the source.

"Master, in addition to reaching the source, is there any other way to resurrect the dead? Of course, the method I'm talking about does not include the magic of the necromancer, a body without a soul, that's not Alice."

Elder Kelly was silent and hesitated for a long time.

Mech thought the master was thinking, so he didn't interrupt.

"Looking at the way you are now, there is really no way to practice. Let you be willful once and resurrect Alice. I heard the news that the resurrection spring has already appeared. If you collect all seven resurrection springs, you can resurrect Alice." Kelly sighed and finally said it.

"Resurrection Spring?" Mech seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, his eyes recovered, and he stood up again.

In this way, there is another group of forces competing for the Resurrection Spring, and they are a pair of powerful and lofty magicians and masters.

Then move the perspective to the distant and ancient East.

In the territory of Youzhou, Wuzhou Kingdom, Lingxiao Mountain, Zijin Palace.

Xiao Qingfeng sat firmly in the sandalwood chair, stretched out his strong arms, and handed it over to the old imperial doctor opposite to take his pulse. He stared at the subtle changes on the old imperial doctor's face, guessing how serious his "condition" was.

Four months ago, he felt something different in his body, so he used the "inner vision" method to check it, and he was shocked to find that there was an extra spring in his abdomen, and the water flowed on its own and never stopped. This spring water did not bring him any pain. On the contrary, it actually doubled his physical strength and greatly increased the speed of his cultivation. There were many benefits.

However, although this spring water is good, it grows in the body after all, and the origin is unknown, Xiao Qingfeng is really uneasy. During this period, he visited famous doctors and wanted to know the "cause" of the spring water. Out of concern, friends from all walks of life also helped him look for medicine and medicine. In the end, even the emperor of the dynasty was alarmed. The emperor sent a contemporary famous doctor to see him.

Xiao Qingfeng is the master of Lingxiao Mountain. He has superb swordsmanship and knows a unique skill called "sword mastery". He has many disciples and has great influence. Only such an identity can get the emperor's love.

"Master Xiao Shan, your pulse is neither floating nor sinking, neither big nor small, calm and gentle, soft and powerful, very healthy, just like a living dragon. As for your complexion, voice, etc., there is nothing abnormal. Forgive the shallowness of medical skills, it is true. I can't find the cause. The spring water in your body is probably related to some immortals and ghosts. It is very reasonable to speculate." The old imperial doctor let go and said respectfully.

Xiao Qingfeng sighed, if even the imperial physician of the dynasty was helpless, it would prove that this spring was not a disease, but a miraculous thing. He thanked him and sent the imperial physician to the door of the temple. He had some respect for the imperial physician, and he was grateful that he had traveled all the way to see a doctor for him.

"rise"

Xiao Qingfeng drew a finger painting ~www.readwn.com~ The two long swords behind his back came out of their sheaths, wrapped in a burst of air, and flew steadily above the ground. He took a step forward, stepped on the swords, and confronted the imperial doctor. said a request.

"Electric shock the Heavenly Sword in his hand, cut the long whale straight into the sea, and open the sea to open the master of Xiao Shan. The swordsmanship is well-deserved. Today, I can see that this old man has no regrets in his life. This old man is a quack doctor. How can he go down the mountain with this sword? Yes, but the old man should walk down the mountain step by step." The imperial doctor was sincerely convinced and bowed, and then he was about to step down the mountain.

Xiao Qingfeng laughed, and with a big hand, he pulled the little old man to the sword, and then pushed the two swords forward with the momentum of a long rainbow piercing the sun. Although the speed was fast, it was as stable as Mount Tai. So far, he no longer wants to pay attention to the origin of the spring water in his body, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is determined by God.

In fact, the spring water in Xiao Qingfeng's body is the fourth source - the spring of the body. This spring water can be ranked fourth, which is naturally very difficult to collect. Every time the fountain of the body appears in the world, it will be reincarnated in the body of a strong person. If others want to get it, they can only kill and kill.

In this way, among the seven resurrection springs, five springs have already disappeared, but the Spring of Fire and the Spring of Death have not yet been discovered. This relic of the old **** has once again triggered competition among various forces, and this **** battle has also drawn a bright red curtain.
