Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 124
The figure covered in black robe was silent for several seconds, then as if nothing happened, he smiled and said: "I think I already have a general understanding of your opponent's strength, but dear Sir Maxwell—it’s a situation that both of you and I don’t want to see things come to this point. If you complete the second dragon feast ceremony we provide you before this battle ceremony, you won’t Are you having any trouble?"

Facing this question, Maxwell, who was as strong as a rune bear, fell into a rare powerless silence. The other party was right. The Dragon Feast Ceremony that reborn him seven years ago was nothing more than a mid-level The power of the flying dragon was implanted in his body, and this time, what the Duke tried his best to find for him was a real high-ranking flying dragon!

That is to say, the flying dragon was really young and weak, and he hadn't even learned the skill of transforming into a human, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen into their hands so easily.If it was not born in the shattered Storm Dynasty, but grew up in a place like Sky City for more than ten years, it must be another dragon strongman with extraordinary strength.

It's just that Maxwell really has a bone marrow rejection of the Dragon Feast Ceremony. It's not that he feels pity for the fallen dragon, but that he can't bear the alchemy operations that cut himself open, especially for this group of people. The weird warlock who was talking about it was extremely conflicted.

Whenever he recalled the days when he was stunned by anesthesia and let them slaughter him while lying on the cold and hard alchemy table, he felt like a monkey caught for a bloody experiment.

In the year since Duke Duoris captured the flying dragon through underground channels, alcoholism and indulgence have kept his body in a bad state. Deliberately do it instinctively.

After all, he is no longer the scum of the past who had nothing and could only fight for his life. He is a dragon eater with heroic strength, and a night fighter who signed a contract with the Duoris family. Acting as a capable general under the command of the Duke. If he is not willing, no one can force him to return to the alchemy table again and become the test subject of the group of magic sticks.

But this time, Rollo woke him up.

The "Dragon Spear" he was proud of couldn't advance an inch in front of his opponent. The monster who had given up his human form only needed a faint look to suppress the dragon blood in his body.

Fear, humbleness, cowardice, all the sad emotions he thought he had abandoned seven years ago all caught up at this moment, as if the destined devil devoured everything in him again.

He can no longer delude himself into indulging in the beautiful dreams he has woven. As a night fighter, the meaning of his existence is to help the Duke win a game like today. As a dragon eater, he is even more ashamed of the dragon heart in his chest because of fear. And almost stopped jumping, Long Wei, who should have overwhelmed all enemies, also disappeared due to cowardice.
Unknowingly, Maxwell's pupils gradually turned red, and his breathing became more violent and heavy. Pieces of gray-black scales grew and retracted from the skin on the side of his neck and the back of his head, looking like a head held back. An angry dragon who can't help but transform into a dragon.

"I'm going to perform the second Dragon Feast Ceremony, right now!" He roared while suppressing his extremely unstable emotions.

However, the figure opposite him was still so calm that no waves could be seen, and he even watched all this with great interest, as if observing a test object that should react.

"Sir, do you remember the report we issued to you last time? With your current physical condition and considering the terrifying power contained in that noble-blooded high-ranking flying dragon, I have to remind you that the probability of success of the ceremony is at most only sixty-six." become."

"Of the remaining [-]%, [-]% of you will die directly, and [-]% of the probability will be irreversibly alienated into some kind of monster between humans and dragons - if that is the case, for safety reasons, we will also Will kill you without hesitation."

"Don't worry about it!" Maxwell breathed heavily, "Strength. Just give me strength!"

The figure on the opposite side of the table stared at him fixedly for a few seconds, then smiled lightly, nodded slightly and said: "Every devout believer who pursues power should be respected equally with his devotion, so—as you wish .”

After finishing speaking, she stood up, reached out and pressed lightly on the wall behind her, and the thick stone wall split open from it, revealing a tunnel leading obliquely to the ground.

The figure waved the red-trimmed sleeves of the black robe, motioning for Maxwell to follow. The latter shook his bloated body covered in dragon scales without thinking, and disappeared into the darkness of the tunnel together with him.

What Maxwell didn't notice at all was that in the underground secret room that he had left behind, a small incense burner was silently burning inside the table case, emitting wisps of dark red incense mist , Just a light sniff is enough to confuse people's minds.

"It's a trick of the weak!"

More than ten kilometers away, Luo Luo brandished two ominous knives that were no different from daggers in his hands, and tore the last ice mountain monster in front of him into pieces. There are dozens of corpses of mountain demons.

The ice mountain monsters that broke through the golden seal are terrifying, but even if they formed a queue of tens of thousands, they were still crushed to powder by the elite knights led by Duke Duoris. Facing the completely deteriorating Rollo , What is so terrible about a group of beasts that have lost their sanity?
He wiped away the remaining blood on the knife, and looked gloomyly at the direction where Carlisle and his party were fleeing. Although he had long been wary of the abnormal behavior of Duke Duoris arranging a large number of trolls as prey, he still did not expect the other party to flee. He actually has the means to control these mountain monsters.

Dozens of trolls may not be able to pose a fatal threat to him, but there are still thousands of such monsters active in this underground world. If the people of Duoris use this time when they are dragged to summon more trolls, Even if he still couldn't besieged and killed him, at least he could remain invincible by this method.

Such a result is absolutely unacceptable to both Rollo himself and the Marquis Osarion behind him.

Luo Luo knew in his heart that just after the First World War, his inhuman features had inevitably been exposed to the Royal Capital Fighting Association and the nobles behind the association.

Once the news spreads further, the Rodel people don't care about his reasons for doing this. Those stupid civilians will only treat him as a dirty existence like those sons of taint, and then pour out the hatred and hatred that poured on the omen. Intentions are generally poured onto oneself without distinction.

At that time, looking at the entire capital, there would never be a place for him again.

But if it was only in this gambling game, although he and the Marquis were caught because of this incident, it is completely equivalent for Duke Duoris to use some kind of secret technique to destroy the golden seal and control those ice mountain monsters. charges.

This was a game between two top nobles, and other nobles would never meddle in other nobles' affairs as usual, so as long as Duoris and Osarion restrained each other, he would still be safe.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on helping the Marquis win the bet. If he loses, he will naturally become the only discarded piece on the chessboard.

　ps1.5/60.I don’t know why the chapter numbers of these two chapters are wrong and cannot be modified. This chapter is 124.

　　ps2. In addition to writing a book recently, the author is also busy with many trivial matters including the graduation project. I really can’t find time to update a chapter in the past two days.March said that at least 60 chapters will be updated, and 12-15w words will definitely be updated to this number. In the past few days, 2k a day will definitely be added back to 4k-6k a day when you are free. There is no need to worry until the end of the month, it is too slow. You might as well raise it for a few days first, and beat me when the number of words is not enough at the end of the month, haha.
