Chapter 469
Lina couldn't help but chuckle: "Okay, just tell you. I don't want to hide it from anyone."
Rin felt as if she had drunk several kilograms of mead, which was so sweet that she couldn't touch the east, west, and west, and her ears were red with excitement.
"Then let me continue.
The demonic dragon was immortal, and there was no sacred sword at that time. It was almost impossible to kill it. The only solution was to seal it.
But even so, sealing is extremely difficult.
The soul of the person who needs to sign a contract with the dragon, the dragon's beloved object, the powerful power of purification, and the blood of the dragon are necessary to maintain the seal. "
Rin was a little confused when he heard: "The one who signed the contract... is the founding emperor, and the power of purification is the power of the Pope, but what is the beloved thing, and the blood of the demon dragon... Do you want the descendants of the demon dragon?"
"Indeed, the dragon's beloved... is actually a person.
That person is the first princess of the empire, the emperor's biological sister, Helena, and Skater is her fief.
The magic dragon always likes to turn into a human form to pursue Princess Helena, but Princess Helena is quite disgusted with his nature and has always been indifferent. "
"Since he has been asking for everything before, is it okay to just ask for a marriage?"
"How about a loved one? It doesn't want to get a loved one in this way.
As for the bloodline of the demon dragon...the demon dragon had no descendants at that time.
After Princess Helena learned about the requirements of the seal, she took the initiative to feed the tiger, pretending to fall in love with the dragon and devote herself to it.
As I said before, if you want to seal the demon dragon forever, you must have its bloodline to maintain it.
Princess Helena gave birth to a child with the dragon, who is now the descendant of Duke Scatter's family.
The empire wanted to erase traces of the dragon's existence, so their line broke away from the royal family and became a new family.
During the sealing battle at that time, my ancestor sacrificed his soul, Princess Helena died, and the Pope died of exhaustion. None of the three archbishops who participated in the sealing survived, and the city of Scat was almost turned into ruins.
In the end, only the baby with the blood of the demon dragon was left.
Later, the second generation ascended the throne and formed an unbreakable alliance with the church. Overcoming obstacles along the way, he finally established the Holy Empire. "
After listening to the story told by Lina, Rin suddenly became enlightened and understood everything at once.
Chapter 104 A hero saves a beauty?
It turns out that the predecessor of the Holy Empire had such a dark history.
It was the clergy of that generation who made huge sacrifices in exchange for this habitat and turned it into a thoroughly religious country.
This black history really cannot be spread.
It's not that it has much impact on the image of the empire. After all, including the church, any place without a dark history is not a fairy tale world.
The real reason why it cannot be exposed is that the dragon is not dead and is still sealed, and its descendants are the key to maintaining the seal.
Once other people with bad intentions know about it, such as Hua Lai and the forces behind him, or the death disciples, they will definitely find a way to loosen the seal and subvert the entire empire.
"Is it true that no one else knows about the seal?"
If so, how did Hualai know?
Rin was extremely confused and quickly asked Lina.
"Allow me to correct it, all the family heads of Skart also know this."
Rin added: "I understand, let's put it this way, some clues about the countess told me that there are people behind her, and they are probably targeting Scatter City. Apart from the magic dragon, I can't think of anything else worthy of being targeted. These rats hiding in the dark are watching.”
Lina clung to his chest and sighed faintly: "If anyone really knows, it must be them."
"Huh? Who?"
"Rin, do you still remember the incident that became the biggest black history in the mainland?"
Rin recalled it, and her expression became strange.
What Lina was talking about was exactly what Rin had mentioned before, a historical story about a reincarnated person comparable to a light novel.
"Reincarnated into a low-level skeleton of the undead, succeeded in seizing the body of the brave, and then became the actual controller of the continent?"
"Well, that's it. Later, after the reincarnated person passed away, the empire set things right and overthrew the puppet emperor who was controlled by the reincarnated person. Our group inherited the throne. Some people from the original group still escaped. There has been no one for thousands of years. information."
"Um...thousands of years ago?"
Rin sounded a little outrageous: "If I were a descendant of that branch, I wouldn't have waited so long."
"Who knows, but successive popes have kept this secret, at least it should not be spread out by the church. The only one I can think of is the one who escaped."
Rin thought for a while, it didn't matter who leaked the secret, or whether the overthrown monarch really still has descendants that continue to this day.
As long as the Charon organization is destroyed, everything will come to light.
Rin, who finally satisfied his curiosity, gradually relaxed his mind. The two hugged each other, their breathing intertwined, warm and reassuring.
Rin was about to empty his head when he suddenly remembered something and asked softly again: "The seal depends on the blood of the descendants. What if... well, what if the blood is broken."
Lina yawned twice again: "No, every time the Skart family takes fertility as its own responsibility, and dragon nature... the reproductive capacity is relatively strong.
In order to maintain the strength of the bloodline, marriages and children have always been done within the family. "
Speaking of this, Lina paused for a moment: "Speaking of which, the current person with the most powerful bloodline power is actually not the current Duke Dis.
Moreover, there is no outstanding one among his children. The most powerful one is a little girl who is not yet eight years old. "
Rin was stunned: "So she will inherit the title of Duke in the future, huh? Adoption?"
Lina shook her head: "No, Dis plans to marry her when she comes of age and give birth to a descendant with strong bloodline power."
Rin couldn't help but be stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "That damn fat pig, he is already forty years old, do you want a 13-face?"
It's not that Rin lacks quality, it's mainly because it's too much to think that a fat man of over 200 pounds, a middle-aged man in his forties, is trying to take advantage of a little girl.
By the time the little girl becomes an adult, he will be almost sixty years old. Who in the right mind is an old person?
In short, thinking about his character and actions made him extremely disgusted, both psychologically and physically.
This is a human being, not an immortal species. I believe most people cannot accept it.
What's more, he is still such a good person.
"I asked, can you please let this little girl go?"
"That's what I thought after learning about it. I originally went to Scatter to lobby. Duke Dis' bloodline strength is quite satisfactory, but as long as there are no accidents with the seal, this is enough.
A little girl can't replace him who has been in power for more than 20 years. It's good for each of them to live in peace. "
Hearing this, Rin nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we can't let him succeed in this matter."
But she heard Lina suddenly say: "It turns out that His Royal Highness, our Holy Son, is a kind-hearted person. He cares so much about a strange child."
Rin's expression froze, and he quickly explained: "That's not the case, it's just that I don't want to be irritated by him when I go back to Skater, that's all."
"Okay~ That's it. Go to bed quickly, I'm so sleepy."
Seeing the tired look on Lina's face, Rin stopped making any more noise. After saying good night softly, Shin closed his eyes.
The two fell asleep together in the quiet night.
The next day, Rin said goodbye to Lina and teleported back to Sunset Prairie.
Regarding Hualai and Charon, all he knew was provided by the system, and he couldn't talk to Lina about it.
What's more, the sage later devoted herself to resisting the mirage undead army. There was no need for her to worry about Scott City at this time.
Rin still had the boss card of Feiyue, so it was easy to deal with Cricket Hualai, and he would have enough time to solve the problems in the City of Darkness later.
With this thought in mind, Rin and the Heroes dressed up and officially set off.
The endless prairie is a good section for driving quickly.
The group of people traveled very fast and would only choose to stop when they encountered a monster worth defeating.
With Xiye and Alpha Beta, three beings in their fifties and above, there would be no danger as long as they didn't plunge into a group of hundreds or even thousands of monsters.
On the first day, they did not encounter high-level monsters, just some prairie slimes, slug monsters, giant ants and the like.
So they were driving very fast, just like driving a car at a speed of sixty or seventy kilometers per hour.
But on the second day, not only did the number of gathered monsters increase, but their levels also rose a lot.
At noon, Silly Roe Deer ate her favorite strawberry cheesecake. As a result, the sweet and high-sugar taste attracted a large group of giant shovel ants.
The giant shovel ant is twice the size of the giant ant, as big as a calf, and is extremely powerful.
Its large jaws extend outward, like two shovels, hence its name. It is aggressive and ferocious by nature, and has a strong sense of predatory.
So Rin, Fei Miao and the others fought fiercely for four hours with the giant shovel ants that came one after another bravely.
There were forty or fifty giant ant corpses on the ground, and not a single one escaped.
Its level is around level 30, and its leader is a level 36 elite. Even if Rin and Fei Miao are hanging on the wall, and a humanoid self-propelled BUFF is added, this battle will be quite difficult.
It is true that these guys have no pain system, are not afraid of death, and have very high attack power. They are really difficult to deal with.
No wonder it is said that as the level increases, it will become more and more difficult for humans to face the same level of monsters and demons.
Rin had lost all her magic power, so she and Silly Roe Deer, Fei Miao, quietly kissed each other to replenish their magic power after entering the carriage.
It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the grassland with a layer of hazy color.
The corpse of the giant ant soon attracted a group of hyenas and other magical beasts hiding in the sand.
After the group of people left, there were still some evil beasts with malicious intentions chasing them all the way.
Just running and stopping, chasing away the prey, finally, when the afterglow was about to fade and the sky began to darken, we stopped next to an acacia tree with quite lush leaves.
The knights let the speeding beasts go to let them eat some fodder, and then spread out to work.
Alpha shoveled away the turf in an area to prevent the campfire from igniting and to reduce the number of insects and ants around the camp at night.
Another knight went to find some firewood nearby and lit a bonfire.
Rin moved her somewhat sore body and sat down to straighten her legs to relieve muscle fatigue.
"Your Highness, we have had a full day of training today. Everyone must be tired. Let's prepare dinner. In fact, my barbecue skills are not bad." Alpha said.
Beta also nodded repeatedly: "The brave man hunted two black goats before. This is a famous delicacy in the grassland. When combined with Alpha's secret sauce, my mouth is watering just thinking about it."
Not only him, but everyone except Xiye swallowed their saliva.
The Sword Saint is used to it and is quite tolerant of hunger. He is a strong man who can eat grass with black goats when he is extremely hungry. He is very resistant to gluttony.
Rin, Emilia and Iris, the three of them have not eaten lunch yet, and they have been fighting continuously until now, and they are already hungry.
The two knights quickly got busy, and Rin distributed some soft buns to fill everyone's stomach.
The two goats were skillfully removed of their internal organs and fur, and washed clean.
Alpha threw a piece of green stuff into the fire, and the flames suddenly crackled, and a strange aroma of spices immediately came up with the smoke.
"This is one of the secret recipes I found out in a very famous barbecue restaurant before. Some special flowers and plants are added to the fire, and the smoke-mixed aroma produced has a good effect on removing the fishy smell."
As he said, he put a sheep on the rack and kicked Beta, who was dazed and drooling beside him.
"What are you doing? There are many monsters and wild beasts in this grassland. Barbecue may attract some of them. Go and stand guard quickly and clean up the intruders so as not to disturb His Highness's meal. I'll go in a while."
"Okay."
Beta looked at the mutton reluctantly, swallowed his saliva, and turned around.
"What, don't you plan to eat with me?"
Lin called him and raised his eyebrows at the two people: "Wait until there are really monsters approaching. What are you thinking about when there is delicious food in front of you."
"But..."
"No buts, if you are on guard..."
Lin took out a small whistle and blew it, and immediately there was a young bird's cry in the distance.
Soon, a black shadow flew in the sky and landed on the acacia tree, shouting excitedly at Lin.
Lin rolled his eyes: "You are the fastest runner in the battle, and you are still embarrassed to come back. Go on patrol and prepare delicious food for you."
Lightning whistled again and flapped his wings twice, indicating that he understood.
As the two of them spend more time together, their spiritual connection becomes more and more obvious, and now they can perform some basic instructions.
