  Chapter 596 The original dead king (33)

   Alone, Ian walks faster than when leading a team.

   Immovable Fortified City, Fairy and Dead King... Who can add the power of triple inheritance?

At this moment, the power he displayed far exceeded everyone's imagination. The defense and attack of the rock-forged knight, the agility and swiftness of the goblin, and the terrifying lethality of the dead king made all the phantoms and monsters who tried to stop him All gone.

  Every time Ian steps forward, a ring-shaped frost nova spreads in all directions. The weak phantoms are directly destroyed, and the stronger phantoms will also be frozen in place, and then be killed by him with a sword.

  The power of the dead souls is concentrated in the eyes, so that he can directly see the veins of the subspace, as if there is a map of a maze, and he can choose his own action route at will.

  With the blessing of the Prophet, Ian simply walked straight towards his goal.

  The experimental center of the researchers of Grand Duke Sorin, which is also the place of the final battle that he foretells.

Along the way, there are more and more powerful phantoms, like a tide of phantom army, rushing towards him one after another, as if they want to consume his strength and hinder his pace - Ian can see that these phantoms seem to have sanity, they He firmly stood in front of Ian, like a warrior who blocked the advance of the devil.

  —You cannot be allowed to influence our dead king to carry out divine revenge!

  I can vaguely hear such beliefs from the hearts of these phantoms.

  He doesn't care about that. Everyone has their own beliefs and positions. Ian never felt that he could be recognized by everyone, but in any case, he did what he chose.

Ian swung his sword with his right hand, turning the dead ice into a crescent-like arc of light, beheading all the phantoms of these 'warriors', and raising his left hand, made the source matter condense into a shield, blocking countless incoming arrows arrow.

  His steps cannot be stopped, like a reef standing in the tide, all the phantoms attacking him are like some kind of inferior hallucinations, and they will even be turned into fly ash after being stared at.

  Ian thought that this pace of going against the current would last for quite a long time until he reached his destination.

  However, he suddenly heard a hollow voice.

  【Let him come over】

  This voice contained the same power as that in Ian's body. The original dead king gave the order, so all the phantoms stopped their movements.

   They stared at Ian, then backed away.

   A way was open to him.

Ian raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. As the dead king who had held power for the longest time at the beginning, the other party seemed to be able to grasp some of the power of this subspace composed of the wailing of countless victims—at least he did It's not about shouting in the subspace maze.

   In a sense, this is also a kind of 'Maze Lord'?

  Perhaps so, he didn't take too much notice of the dead king's order to ask the phantom to stop attacking. Now, even the second-level beasts and phantoms are nothing more than a matter of a sword.

  I believe that the other party also saw this, so he let himself pass freely.

   And just as he was approaching the finish line, Ian felt it again.

  A strong 'emotion' calls for the power of 'backtracking horizon'.

   Another life of a person.

[I am the illegitimate son of a nobleman, and my birth was an accident. I was a disgrace from the beginning, and even needed to be exterminated, but my father was not a villain in the pure sense after all. He told the family elders Concealed my existence, but never acknowledged my identity]

  【My mother runs a small jewelry store, and she depends on the profit and loss. She was originally from a wealthy family and broke up with my parents because of me. If there is no child support from my father occasionally, I might not be able to grow up】

  【So I don’t actually hate him. Although these **** nobles think they won’t have offspring with ordinary people and always don’t use contraception, but at least it’s not a bad thing for me to be born]

[My mother has always thought that I could be successful. She secretly saved a lot of money. She hopes that I can become a bachelor, preferably a bachelor in alchemy. If I make money in the future, I might be able to become a sublimator. Come, I can be recognized by my father's family—although it is impossible to become a direct line, it is very possible to become a side branch]

  【Many offshoots of big families came from this way... After all, if you can become a sublimator, admitting that you are a side branch is what the nobles are happy to see】

  【That is the easiest and fastest way for me to change the future and change my destiny, and I have been working towards this direction all the time】

   This is a man's voice that is somewhat hoarse but sounds quite gentle.

  His voice was very calm, with a kind of tenacity and optimism in his bones, softly telling his life: 【I am a genius, really. I'm really smart, especially in bioalchemy, and I can learn it as soon as I learn it. My instructor also recognized me very much, and even recommended me to study at the Saint Roque Alchemy Academy]

[Of course, I found out later that the Holy Roch Alchemy Academy is not the Alchemy Academy of the Grand Duke’s direct family, but a joint venture with the Imperial Capital. If you enter that academy, you will not be valued by the Grand Duke... It seems that I have threatened his children. Bar】

  【But I am still grateful that he laid a solid foundation for me】

  【In the Alchemy Academy, my grades are excellent, but not top-notch. After all, I did not learn the principles of alchemy since I was a child, and I have enough money to do experiments. My progress is more than a little behind those noble students... But for some reason, there is a mysterious fund to support my studies and experiments]

[The dean told me, don't ask who gave it to me, I just need to be grateful and study with peace of mind—I had already guessed in my heart, but I still suppressed my excitement and concentrated on laying my foundation in the college instead of random In order to catch up with the progress of my classmates, I did some high-risk and high-consuming experiments】

  【I can't let people down. Whether it’s the mother or ‘that person’]

  【In the end, I graduated with the top ten grades in the academy, and I am also the only civilian top ten】

  【On the day of graduation, a mysterious silver-haired man invited me to drink tea】

[The dean is also in the tea room. From his humble expression, I know the identity of the mysterious man... Yes, the silver-blooded Sorin, the night watchman, the ruler of the night sky... Besides the Grand Duke himself, there are other who? 】

  【Saint Locke Alchemy Academy is indeed not a direct descendant of the Grand Duke, but how could he miss the talents in his own territory? 】

  【The Grand Duke said he was very optimistic about me. He thought that my talent should not be used to learn potion alchemy that can only make money... He told me that I have the potential to change the world, and I have this ability】

  【I was very moved, but also very inferior. I told the Grand Duke that I was just a commoner, with no family knowledge, and no background. I didn’t deserve such praise... I didn’t inherit the blood of my father’s sublimation at all.】

  【And the Grand Duke told me that the blood of the sublimated can indeed make their descendants have better physique than others, but it can't change people's character and aura in their minds. There are many stupid and mentally retarded nobles. Of course, there are also many ordinary people. After all, the empire has a population of almost two billion, how can there be so few idiots? 】

  【All in all, there is no significant gap between human intelligence and stupidity in this world. Don’t take yourself too seriously because of a little boring blood, and don’t take yourself too lightly】

[He told me that all the nobles were the first to occupy high positions because their ancestors were smarter, more resourceful, or had better luck than others—they made such a set up in order to maintain their rights Trash-like system, so that my family can last forever]

  【The Grand Duke smiled and said to me that he actually has nothing to complain about. After all, he is the Grand Duke who has changed from generation to generation, but even if this is the truth, I can’t underestimate myself because of this stupid system】

  【He invited me to join his laboratory, where my ingenuity will be maximized】

  【I have sworn since then that I will only be loyal to the Grand Duke in my life】

   Add more tomorrow! There will be a long-lost chapter update!
