A man in the ark was forced to become a king

There was a blush on Theresia's face, but she soon calmed down, and she expressed her thoughts seriously: "What I mean is, can a more stable cooperative relationship be established between the Tower of Babel and the Golden Tree?" ?You have already met Kelsey. She highly admires some of the things you have. That is indeed what we have been looking for. I think our cooperation can be deeper. "

As she said this, she looked at Lin Lu calmly, but actually she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

After seeing the two completely different fire powers with her own eyes, she had more ideas about the golden tree. No matter how many reports she read, it would not be as profound as seeing it in person.

The golden tree with that kind of power, coupled with the mysterious blessing that can suppress the ore disease... Just as Kelsey wanted to express, the golden tree is both a threat and an opportunity to the current Tower of Babel.

This is undoubtedly a big gamble. If the gamble is right, they may be able to go further on that road.

If it fails...it won't be worse than it is now, right?

Chapter 99 Here's What's Happening

"Then, happy cooperation."

Under the slow-moving land speeder, Theresia waved goodbye to Lin Lu and watched him mount his horse and disappear at the end of the horizon with the unhappy little mercenary. Then he looked away, and a bright red blood stain appeared from the corner of his mouth. The slender body trembled slightly, and it took a few minutes to calm down again.

"Ahem, I don't know how long I can hold on, I have to go faster..."

Whispering softly, Theresia took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, shaking her head with a wry smile.

The essence of the Demon King's power is to exchange life for strength. Even the Sakaz royal family, who are born with immortality, cannot avoid it. The stronger they are, the closer they are to death.

She has inherited the position of Demon King for a long time, longer than the lifetimes of many ordinary people. This power has been developed to the extreme. In this state, let alone active use, even if she does nothing, the extraordinary power is It would bring a huge amount of pressure to the body. Without the sealing ring on her finger, she might not be able to maintain normal actions now.

This is the price of power.

She had to admit that she underestimated the 'Golden Tree' and the leaders of the Golden Tree. In essence, the flames they controlled were no longer inferior to the demon king's power passed down from ancient times by Sakaz, and maybe they would still be. Stronger, so after meeting, she still used the power of the Demon King to crush the spiritual will contained in the Blood Demon Witchcraft and Blood Feast to prevent her side from weakening.

Only by standing on an equal footing can we have a basis for cooperation.

The current situation in the Tower of Babel is not optimistic. If you want not to be underestimated, it is necessary to show your strength.

So far, the results may not be bad...well, maybe it has nothing to do with this.

Thinking of Lin Lu's intention of not hiding it at all, Theresia felt a little blushing.

She could feel that what that man cared about was not how strong she was or how strong the Tower of Babel was. What he really valued was 'Theresa'. The in-depth cooperation between the two parties could go smoothly without any hindrance. It’s finalized, there is a high probability that there are reasons for this.

To be honest, she had never encountered such a thing in her hundreds of years of life. She relied solely on her past experience to stay calm. In fact, she didn't know how to deal with it at all.

Some things have nothing to do with how long you have lived. Things that you have never been exposed to, even if it has been hundreds of years ago, will not be suddenly understood.

Before this, Theresa had never even thought about this matter. She was burdened with too many things, too many to take care of.

but……

"But it's not wise to choose my words."

Although she didn't know how to respond to this sudden emotion, Theresia knew very well that what Lin Lu was thinking about would be in vain. How could a dying person have the right to think about these things?

Her body can no longer support it for long. This broken body has already been overwhelmed under the heavy pressure and can no longer respond to anyone's expectations. Such blazing emotions will eventually die with the passing of life.

'When the cooperation between the Tower of Babel and the Golden Tree is truly stable, let's have a frank talk with him. '

Thinking this in her heart, Theresa suddenly felt that she was a bit like the bad woman in fairy tales and story novels who was good at deceiving people. She knew her situation but did not take the initiative to explain it. Instead, she had the intention of taking advantage of her, and wanted to rely on Lin Lu. The intention is to have a deeper connection between the Golden Tree and the Tower of Babbitt.

——This is simply too bad and unfair to Lin Lu.

But what can she do?

In the final analysis, she is just a dying person. No matter how much she hates machinations, she has to do it for the sake of the companions behind her.

"I hope you can keep walking, Kelsey, this is the last thing I can do for you..."

-------------------------------------

Naturally, Lin Lu didn't know that Theresa was directing and acting in a small theater in her mind while standing under the land speeder, and was deeply entangled in this. He was on horseback secretly calculating the harvest this time, and how to do it in the future. You will get more benefits from subsequent cooperation.

The in-depth cooperation proposed by Theresia was just what he wanted. As for tool people, the more the better, and he didn't mind at all.

No matter what purpose Babel has in cooperating, they cannot grasp the most essential things. No matter how much they learn superficially, it does no harm.

Therefore, this cooperation has nothing to do with his preference for Theresa, and he will not give up any of the benefits he should have obtained because of personal emotional issues. It is better to separate business and private matters clearly.

"Lin Lu, if there are any combat-type tasks later, if you think I can handle them, leave them to me."

W's sudden opening interrupted Lin Lu's thinking. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in rejection.

"Your current mastery of flame prayer is not proficient enough to form an effective combat capability. For the time being, you only need to learn, and we may not receive any commissions that require combat for some time in the future."

The family over at Longmen has a big business. Even if there is a need for force, it cannot be met by W's level of strength. Not to mention the Tower of Babel, which itself is a military organization and violent organization under the Demon King. If there is a shortage, there is no shortage of people who can fight.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that for a long time to come, the cooperation between Golden Tree, Longmen, and Tower of Babel will focus on research and supply of specialty products, and basically do not require any force.

"Practical combat is the best teacher."

This time W acted extremely stubborn. She tilted her head stubbornly with a very firm look on her face.

"Let me go, the battlefield will make people more mature."

"No, you are not alone on the battlefield."

However, no matter how much W begged, Lin Lu had no intention of compromising on this matter. All other matters were easy to discuss, but this was the only place he could not rest assured. He felt uncomfortable unless he watched it with his own eyes.

In such a large battlefield, anyone can be cannon fodder, and no matter how familiar the interpersonal relationships are, they cannot be immune to real harm. W always wants to go to the battlefield to show off her achievements. In Lin Lu's view, she still It's far from enough. Just being able to drop two bombs is far from enough for her to gain a foothold on the battlefield. If she wants to participate in such a battle and ensure a certain level of safety, she needs elite operators from the Tower of Babel. Level right?

If she went out like this and died on the battlefield, wouldn't she lose blood?

Chapter 100 Chen’s tangle

The person who finally got it back and has the qualifications to learn flame prayer cannot just die in the meat grinder like cannon fodder for no reason. That would be a complete waste of natural resources.

Therefore, Lin Lu not only did not agree to W's request, but after returning to the Golden Tree, she specifically told Mostima and Fiametta about this matter, asking them to pay more attention to it and not let her find an opportunity to run away.

In fact, if there were not many things to deal with at Longmen, Lin Lu would have wanted to take W directly to Longmen and teach him under her nose. However, the dual identity of the infected person and Sakaz would make it difficult for W to move forward in Longmen. Think about it. We can only give up temporarily.

Instead of coming to Longmen and sitting in a room every day, as suffocating as a cage, it would be better to stay in Kazdale, where at least there would be a large enough chassis to move the muscles and bones on weekdays.

'After staying in a place like Kazdale for a few more days, I actually feel a little uncomfortable with the Longmen environment...'

Walking out of Wei Yanwu's mansion that was specially designated for planting golden trees, he ran into the busy traffic and people in Longmen. For a moment, he felt like he was in another world.

The bloody rain of bullets and the noisy Longmen were like two completely different worlds. Even Lin Lu was distracted by it. However, it was just a distraction. He quickly realized it, sighed as if sighing, and stopped him casually. A taxi went straight to the apartment he and Chen shared.

Originally, with the property specially divided by Wei Yanwu, there was no need to rent the apartment. However, considering that this month's rent had already been paid, and there was basically no possibility for the landlord to repay the money, Lin Lu decided to stay. I'll live here until the end of the month. After all, money can't be wasted. It has to be calculated.

The door lock popped open. Facing the not-so-spacious apartment, Lin Lu was distracted for a moment. Then he saw Chen Zheng, who was dressed very coolly, half lying on the sofa, with his slender dragon tail along the The edges drooped down, making the whole person look a little lazy.

Long live!He actually saw Chen who was not at work during the working day!

Lin Lu's first reaction to this was, 'Did I remember the date wrong? '

How could a creature like Chen appear at home during the working day? !She is simply more accurate than the electronic alarm clock of the Guards Bureau!

"Teacher, are you back?"

While he was struggling at the door, Chen had already moved to this side. He quickly stood up from the sofa and said hello a little awkwardly. It could be seen that she still couldn't get used to the change in address.

"Ah, I'm back. If you're not used to it, don't force it. Just call me by my name as before. I don't care about it."

Lin Lu smiled and waved her hand. After confirming that the electronic calendar date on the wall was correct, she asked curiously: "Why didn't you go to work today? Are you on vacation again?"

"No, I asked for leave specifically."

Chen's answer was unexpected. It was incredible that she would take leave and stay at home instead of going to work!

Suddenly hearing such an answer, Lin Lu even wanted to step forward and touch her head to see if she had a fever.

"Snapped!"

Unexpectedly, the palm he stretched out was slapped away. Chen's eyes widened and he sat back on the sofa. He was unusually discouraged. After hesitating for a long time, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "Teacher, am I serious?" Don’t have any basis for learning spells? I feel like I’ve already learned the Blood Flame Blade that you taught me on the road, but I can’t use it.”

Ah this...

It turns out that he was struggling with this matter. No wonder Chen looked different today than usual, a lot less energetic. It must have been that he suffered a big blow when he was learning to pray.

but……

When mentioning this matter, Lin Lu's expression suddenly became strange.

He suddenly remembered that if he remembered correctly, he only told Chen the specific method of using the Blood Flame Blade on the way, and rushed back to Kazdaele before he could give her the holy mark necessary for prayer.

In terms of difficulty of learning, Blood Flame Blade is not a difficult prayer. No matter how talented you are in this type of enchantment prayer, you can still master it as long as you work hard, but there is only one hard condition that cannot be omitted—— In this world, if you want to use prayer, you must hold the Holy Seal, which is an item that contains the power of faith. It does not have to be strong, but it must be there. Otherwise, no matter how proficient the theoretical knowledge is, you will not be able to use any prayer.

That is Chen's current situation.

She already knew all the details of using the Blood Flame Blade, but without the holy mark in hand, those things could only remain at the theoretical level. No matter how hard she tried, they could not become reality. What she lacked was not talent or talent. Effort is a 'key'.

As for why she was not given the Holy Seal at that time...

Lin Lu could only say that the situation was very urgent and he didn't care about Chen at all.

However, although this is what happened, it cannot be said truthfully. If he knew that the fundamental reason why his efforts in the past few days had no results was due to someone's carelessness, would the grumpy dragon man still get angry on the spot?

"Well, there is no need to belittle yourself. I just think that your talent in prayer is excellent, far beyond my expectation. You must know that learning to pray is not that simple. Even the most basic prayer can be achieved from scratch. It takes a long time to learn and master the theory proficiently. If you can master it in a few days, it is already a sign of genius."

"Really?"

Chen was a little unsure, mainly because she had worked hard many times in the past few days, but she didn't even see the sign of praying. In this case, it was really hard to believe that she was a 'genius'. If she was a genius, how could she do it? so?

"Really, in fact, the reason why you can't let go of prayer is not yourself, and you are missing the most critical key. This should be blamed on me. According to my estimate, it will take you at least half a month to master the theoretical knowledge. I didn't expect it to be so fast... …Let’s do this, you can use this one of mine first.”

Lin Lu took out a palm-sized two-finger holy mark from her pocket and handed it over, looking a little embarrassed.

"...Is this the key?"

Hearing what Lin Lu said, Chen not only wasn't angry, but instead felt a little proud. It turned out that it wasn't her who had the problem, but that her talent was so good that the teacher failed to catch up with her progress and be prepared?

If this is the case, then her efforts these days have not been in vain!

Seeing her holding the holy mark as if she had found a treasure, Lin Lu couldn't help but admire her own wit.

Saying the same thing in a variety of ways, saying the same thing in different ways, doesn't it sound much better?

1 The rebellious girl Chen Huijie

Chen held the palm-sized holy seal and observed it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, she found nothing special. If she had to say something, she felt that this thing was more like a slightly larger keychain.

The material is... probably iron?Or some kind of metal... Anyway, it doesn't look very high-end. The shape is like a finger making a 'Y' shape. There are many incomprehensible patterns engraved on it, which seem to be some kind of writing. Other than that, there is nothing else. Something special.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The finger mark that Lin Lu took out was considered the lowest prayer catalyst. It was only used by apprentices, and there was nothing special about it.

As a mass-produced product, this thing can be used to perform prayers and serve as a catalyst, but it can only be used. There is no bonus bias in any aspect. Its greatest advantages are its gentleness, mediocrity, and ease of control.

The so-called prayer can actually be regarded as an alternative spell. It has a lot in common with the magic of magicians and the combat skills of warriors. The only difference lies in the activation method - it requires the use of 'faith'.

The power of faith, to put it bluntly, is a variant of the soul power of intelligent beings. The invisible and qualityless power of the soul is endowed with various tendencies, and it becomes different beliefs. Prayer users rely on their faith to connect with each other, which in itself exists. The various forces in the world shape it and combine it into 'prayer'. It is essentially the same way as a magician uses magic, but the way of expression is different.

Magicians use the staff as a medium for casting spells to communicate with external forces. The holy mark is the 'staff' for prayer users and is a necessary key.

Without the Holy Seal in hand, it is impossible for a normal person to pray by himself, just like a cook who is proficient in various cooking theories. Without a pot in hand, no matter how abundant the ingredients are, he cannot cook porridge out of thin air. It is a necessary and rigid condition, which must be observed when using it.

Therefore, even though Chen thought hard and studied the prayer of Blood Flame Blade for several days, he still could not use it.

But she is praying - at least her talent in praying with Blood Flame Blade is undoubtedly excellent. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a genius. She has mastered all the theories and details of using this prayer. What is missing is just A bunch of keys.

Now, Lin Lu gave her the key.

The little dragon man stood in the living room holding his breath, holding a sword in one hand and holding the holy mark on his finger in the other hand, slowly drawing the blade of the sword.

Stab it!

Bloody flames ignited out of thin air!

The scarlet color enveloped the blade inch by inch, transforming the ordinary Guards Bureau standard sword into a burning bloody blade.

A success!

The long sword was swung in the air, drawing a gorgeous arc. Chen observed his masterpiece in surprise, feeling extremely excited.

How many years!How many years!She, Chen Huijie, finally used a spell with her own efforts!This is zero breakthrough!

God knows how she has lived these years. When she was at the Royal Victoria College of Guards, she watched those classmates who were proficient in Originium skills use all kinds of spells. Wasn't she envious?

I'm so envious!

After all, she is a normal adolescent girl, so she naturally longs for something that looks cool. Although she doesn't say it, she thinks so in her heart.

Compared to the gorgeous Source Stone spells, the dry swordsmanship she used was not interesting at all. Just by looking at it, it felt inferior, but there was nothing she could do about it.
