Ren was really surprised. He didn't expect to eat another big melon after asking casually.
Lucy is not the biological daughter of Marquis Wilson. This is a big scandal. If it is revealed, it will probably be no less sensation than the fall of Earl Maclay.
This matter involves at least three saints, a marquis family, and the Natural School.
Ren sat next to Lucy, looking curious and gossiping:
"Then your father...well, what is the reaction of your nominal father, Marquis Wilson, when he finds out?"
It is difficult for men to tolerate cuckoldry.
Not to mention, the Marquise not only cheated on her, but also became pregnant with someone else's child, which was absolutely a shame and humiliation for her husband.
And Marquis Wilson is no small figure.
He is a [Black Warrior] profession, a fifth-level sky-splitting black warrior. He has been famous for more than two hundred years. He is a senior saint and is famous in the Kingdom of Falorland. He is known as the "Raging Bull of Falorland" by the world. He has a hot temper and Quite brave and good at fighting.
Lucy looked a little embarrassed and sighed:
"At first, Marquis Wilson thought my mother was pregnant with his child. At that time, the relationship between the couple was cold and full of conflicts, but they occasionally had nightlife.
My mother also thought that the child belonged to her husband.
However, as I grew older and showed some elf characteristics, I gradually couldn't hide them. "
Ren looked at Lucy. She had long, shiny silver hair and slightly pointed pointed ears. Her face was as white as jade, and seemed to have a light white sheen. This person exuded a fresh and refined calmness. breath……
This woman is indeed too delicate and delicate.
I didn't think about it before, but now I see that this aunt's appearance and aura are somewhat special, not like a normal human woman.
It seems that Marquis Wilson quickly discovered this. This daughter is nothing like him, not even a normal human woman...
Ren was refreshed and gossiped: "What did Marquis Wilson do after he knew the truth? I heard that he has a bad temper."
Even if the Marquise's lover is a scholar of the natural school, Marquis Wilson may not be able to tolerate it.
This is a big scandal. He is still the victim and the main sufferer. He has been exposed and has reason to be angry.
"He wanted to strangle me, who was three or four years old at the time, because I was not his daughter, but a bastard."
Lucy's face was expressionless, with a hint of melancholy in her voice, "I can actually understand his anger. No man would be able to bear this kind of thing. Every second I live is a ruthless humiliation to him...
At that time, my mother tried her best to stop him, and he finally drove my mother and me out of the fiefdom.
After that, mother and daughter depended on each other and lived in this manor in Merova City, rarely returning to the Marquis Territory. "
Renn: "..."
How should I put it? Marquis Wilson’s cruelty cannot really be blamed for this matter.
He asked himself, if his wife cheated on her and gave birth to her lover's children, he would really go crazy and want to kill someone.
Lucy also knew this. There was no resentment on her face, but more helplessness:
"My mother has been depressed since then, blaming herself and regretting, and finally died of old age and loneliness in this manor."
"What about your biological father? Why didn't he come to pick you up?" Renn couldn't help but ask.
Why didn’t the naturalist scholar who had an affair with the Marquise show up later?
Lucy put her hand to her forehead, as if she had a headache, and said:
“My biological father initially thought that my mother was pregnant with Marquis Wilson’s child.
It happened that his time traveling to Faroland was over, so he returned to the Kingdom of Bohemia. Soon after, he got married and had several children one after another, including a daughter named Helen. "
Ren was speechless and said, "That is to say..."
Lucy glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes, Helen and I have the same father and mother, and are considered biological sisters. We claim to be distant cousins just to save some face for Marquis Wilson."
"Ah this..."
Ren was stunned and speechless.
Only then did he remember that Miss Catherine had a special aura. Similar to Lucy, she had a special affinity for natural elements and both belonged to elf blood.
Catherine's elf blood was inherited from her mother, Helen.
Ren complained: "Your circle is really chaotic."
This messy relationship made him dizzy.
Lucy glared at him, reached out and pinched his face, pulled it, and scolded:
"How chaotic is your circle? Aren't you from this circle?"
"...I was wrong, Auntie."
Ren didn't dare to talk back. He realized with some hindsight that Lucy was his aunt, or she could also be called aunt or aunt.
This relationship is much closer than the previous distant aunt.
The relatives on the wife's side, in addition to the father-in-law and mother-in-law, are the uncles and aunts.
Lucy then let go of her hand and snorted softly: "Don't think that I don't know that you are secretly having fun. You just like to see auntie's jokes."
Renn: "..."
No, absolutely not.
I can't afford to offend my aunt.
He said weakly: "Then aunt, your biological father, why doesn't he take you to live in the Kingdom of Bohemia?"
"Call grandpa."
"……All right."
Ren was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was nothing wrong with it.
If he marries Catherine (Kesha), then Helen will be his mother-in-law, and the naturalist scholar will be his grandfather...
"Auntie, why doesn't grandpa take you to his place?"
"Because his wife, my stepmother, didn't allow it. She found out that her husband had an illegitimate daughter before, and she was so angry that she almost divorced my biological father." Lucy said expressionlessly.
"..."
Ren rolled his eyes.
Because safety measures were not taken, my grandfather accidentally made the Marchioness pregnant. Later, my grandfather returned to the Kingdom of Bohemia, married his wife, and gave birth to Helen and other children.
Grandpa was still very happy. He traveled to Farrowland and fell in love with Marquis Wilson. He later returned to China to marry a wife and have children.
But Lucy was a bit miserable.
Her nominal father, the Marquis Wilson, hated her.
On her biological father's side, her stepmother rejected her.
Lucy is not human inside and out, and cannot go anywhere. She can only bear the surname Wilson and stay in the manor in Merova City.
Of course, Lucy's biological father was very kind to her. She was able to become a rare female saint on the mainland because her father always provided resources.
After all, it’s impossible for Marquis Wilson to train Lucy, so it would be nice if he didn’t strangle her to death...
At the table, Ren held his chin in one hand and muttered:
"This incident tells us that we should be careful when having an affair, or at least take safety measures."
Lucy: (●—●)
Renne: "Haha, Auntie, I didn't say anything about you, I was just kidding."
Lucy pinched his face with her bare hands, picked up a piece, and said:
"You are very naughty. You take pleasure in your misfortune. Do you think Auntie can't cure you?"
Sorry, you really can't beat me.
Ren cursed in his heart, but immediately apologized and asked her to let go.
Forget it, give your aunt some face and stop beating her.
Then, Lucy talked a lot about her biological father, Helen and Catherine, and also explained a lot of information about the Natural School to Ren.
For example, her biological father's name is Eric, who is a "three-yuan" elder of the Natural School.
Sanyuan is the code name.
Within the Natural School, there are several codes such as sky, earth, nine stars, seven leaves, five poles, three yuan, and zero degree.
Led by Sky, Earth and Nine Stars, these three code names can only be used by one person in each era and cannot be repeated.
The remaining code names may be duplicated.
Knowledge is power, and the Natural School is extremely powerful. The minimum strength requirement for peripheral members is the fourth level. Official members must be fifth-level saints. The strength of the elders is generally comparable to that of the Prince of Darkness...
'It turns out that Elder Tian Kong is the leader of the Natural School. '
Renn thought of the old mage he met in space, and his face twitched.
A level 36, half-step sixth-level boss, whose strength is greater than most of the Dark Lords, and is definitely one of the strongest in the world.
"Auntie, are you a member of the Natural School?" Renn looked at Lucy with bright eyes.
Lucy shook her head: "No, I'm not a scholar or a technician, and I don't engage in academic research."
She was not a scholar, but her sister Helen was.
Helen is a "Five Extremes" elder of the Natural School, and she is better than her masters. She can fight better than her father, the "Three Yuan" Elder Eric.
'So my mother-in-law is so strong...'
Ren was a little stunned. Maybe Helen was better than him now.
As for grandpa, to be honest, it's a bit embarrassing that he was surpassed by his own daughter.
Elder "Sanyuan", this code name is a bit too late, and he might not be able to beat him.
Then Lucy said something that shocked Ren.
"You said that your biological father...well, my grandfather, Elder Eric, is dead?" Renn looked surprised.
That's right, Elder Eric of the Natural School is dead, and he was killed anyway.
The saint can live for 500 years, and Lucy is only over 160 years old. Her biological father's life span is far from exhausted.
Ren couldn't hide his surprise and asked, "Who is the murderer?"
Dare to kill the elders of the Natural School, this is too bold.
Lucy's face was solemn, with a trace of fear in her eyes, and she said:
"The Archmage of the Undead, Forrest."
"..."
Ren's body shook and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
This name is really thunderous, even he has heard of it.
Aleister Ben Mubarak, [Necromancer] profession, has lived for more than 400 years and is the supreme leader of the underground organization "Shadowsingers". It is rumored that the "Immortal Sect" is also under his control.
Two hundred years ago, he used an army of undead to destroy a small country in a remote area of Saigon mainland and slaughtered millions of people.
Such a murder shocked the entire continent.
Count Maclay is not worthy of carrying his shoes.
This is the real villain, with great power and power, and is wanted across the continent.
The witch Josephina calls the necromancer Forrest the "dark emperor" of the underworld, the uncrowned king.
"It turns out it's him." Renn took a deep breath, fear in his eyes.
The "records" of this undead archmage don't end there.
He once invaded the church's Buren Temple. This temple is one of the nine top temples dedicated to the Supreme Goddess on the Saigon continent. It is as famous as the Glory Temple that the Star Sword Master invaded.
However, Forrest was much stronger than the Star Sword Master. He controlled the undead army and killed all the paladins and priests in the Great Temple of Brun.
A saint from the previous church was stripped naked by him, placed on the altar of the great temple and tortured for a day, until she was tortured to death.
Yes, he is so arrogant and evil.
When the Pope arrived, he only severely wounded him and finally allowed him to escape.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that he dared to kill Lucy's father, Elder Eric of the Natural School.
The Archmage of the Undead has done too many evil things. He is so bold and vicious that he is almost the public enemy of the entire continent.
Ren said solemnly: "I remember that Forrest has disappeared for almost fifty years. Many people say that he is dead."
"Not dead, but definitely uncomfortable. Fifty years ago, the Earth Elder of the Natural School blocked him and almost beat him to death."
"Then he still escaped?"
"Well, the Dark Lord came to rescue him from a distance, but the Earth Elder fell short in the end."
"Fuck, another traitor." Renn couldn't help but curse.
He actually colluded with the Dark Lord. This Archmage of the Undead is really evil, has no humanity or bottom line, and is a complete lunatic.
"Auntie, I'm leaving. I will leave Merova City soon. Please take care."
After chatting for about a whole morning, Ren and Lucy said goodbye.
Lucy nodded, held his hand, with gentle eyes, and asked:
"Be careful. I am telling you these things today just to remind you that relationships, backgrounds, connections... are actually unreliable. In times of danger, the only one you can rely on is yourself.
You have reached this point, and neither your mother-in-law nor your aunt can do anything to help you.
The road to strength is at your feet, you have to walk it yourself. "
This was indeed what he said from the bottom of his heart. Ren nodded seriously and gave his aunt a hug.
Elder Eric of the Natural School, his background and connections are strong enough, right?
The necromancer Forrest still dared to kill him.
The saintess of the previous generation of Light Church, her background and connections were strong enough, right?
But she was stripped naked, placed on the altar of the temple, defiled by Forrest's madness, and died miserably in the end.
This is a world where the strong are respected.
Once some bad people gain strength, they don't care about anything, and infinitely magnify the evil thoughts and desires in their hearts. They are extremely crazy and dare to trample all ethics and laws in the world.
[You, this woman, are the saint of the church, right? Haha, what's wrong with you? What happened to you? Just resist if you can, hahahaha...]
These were the words of the Necromancer Forrest when he invaded the Great Temple of Brun one hundred and fifty years ago. Many people in the towns outside heard it.
The unfortunate saint mourned for a whole day before she died.
No one could save her, and no one could defeat the ferocious Archmage of the Undead. When the Pope arrived, her body had been turned into a zombie soldier.
To put it bluntly, the saint and Elder Eric will die because they are not strong enough.
Like the Pope and the Elder of the Earth, they won't be abused, and they can beat the shit out of the Necromancer Forrest.
………
After Ren came out of Wilson Manor, he felt a little heavy.
My relative’s background is very strong and awesome.
But the enemies they have to face are also very ferocious, and they can't always think about hugging the lap of relatives.
"Power." Ren sighed and hurried home to practice.
In the afternoon, in the basement of Ackerman's house.
Ren took off his coat, revealing his strong muscles, and sat cross-legged in the "Spirit Gathering Array". The array patterns lit up, and the free force of the void was pulled over, forming a undulating tide that submerged his figure.
Crystal light appeared on the surface of his body, and his bones and flesh were like glass and jade. The tens of thousands of orifices in his body shone, vibrated, and changed, like a condensed human body galaxy.
Within his body, the blood and energy were like a furnace, swimming and intertwined, and every aperture was a whirlpool of light, both of which were madly devouring the force wandering in the void.
After the blood and energy are calcined and refined, the orifices are shaken and crushed, these chaotic and violent original forces are finally transformed into pure energy and absorbed.
Renn also took several bottles of [Praise of Nature], high-grade [Holy Water], and [Soul-Condensing Demonic Liquid], allowing his body to absorb the essence to assist in his cultivation.
This time, 1,500 gold coins were consumed.
Cultivation is such a waste of money.
Advanced spirit gathering array + multiple advanced magic potions, this is the most luxurious way of training, and the effect is remarkable.
Of course, the price is also high, even 10,000 gold coins cannot last for a week.
Only when he was about to level up, Ren would be so extravagant. Normally, he would only have one bottle of high-level magic potion per day at most.
It is no exaggeration to say that the poor eat dirt. There are many extraordinary people who sell their blood and body for the sake of cultivation.
Not to mention extraordinary people with average qualifications, even top geniuses such as Hal, Michelle and Alfred, who are famous in the mainland, have to work to pay off their debts in order to quickly break through to the Holy Realm.
Buzz!
Half an hour later, Ren's body suddenly shook, and his eyes shot out with terrifying blue light that was several feet long. His apertures, which were densely packed like stars, shone to the extreme. For a moment, the light was like a tide, and the void trembled slightly!
The next second, his breath slowly fell back and he exhaled a thick breath.
The Immortal Golden Body has been upgraded from level 26 to level 27.
In addition to the saplings implanted into the World Tree, the field "Sea of Stars and Infinite Arms" has changed from level 23 to level 25.
His strength has improved a lot compared to before.
"It should be better than my deceased grandfather, Elder Eric. Captain Gonzalez, that's about the same level, right?"
Renn smiled happily and said to himself.
Nothing is more satisfying than an increase in strength.
The lunatic Necromancer Forrest is still alive and can be considered his potential enemy, which puts a certain amount of pressure on Renn.
Although it is unlikely that the other party will notice him now, the possibility of encountering him in the future is not impossible.
"When the Immortal Golden Body reaches level 27, it has exhausted all the accumulated experience. It will be difficult to improve further."
The happiness didn't last long. Thinking of this, Ren had a headache again.
In fact, when he was still in the OP world, his immortal golden body had reached its peak of level 26 and was on the verge of a breakthrough. After all, he had been there for a year and a half, so he would be able to break through soon after returning to this world.
But from level 27 to level 28, it is necessary to accumulate again.
If there is no special opportunity, three to five years may not be enough.
It is getting more and more difficult to practice this kind of thing. Since it takes more than a year to go from level 26 to level 27, it is not an exaggeration to take three to five years from level 27 to level 28.
This is while maintaining a moderate level of resource consumption.
If upgrading were as easy as drinking water, high-level saints would have been ruined long ago.
"It seems that we have to rely on this."
Ren expanded his domain, covering the entire basement, and walked into the center of his domain.
The sea of stars floating above the head is very beautiful. The space under the feet has formed a stable structure. There is a plain space burning with blood and fire above. In the silent wilderness, there are countless swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons.
In the center of the wilderness, there is a seedling.
It is only 20 centimeters tall, with green branches and seven leaves growing on it. Each leaf is as crystal clear as jade, emitting seven colors: black, white, green, red, blue, yellow and transparent light.
"The force of light and darkness, the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth, as well as the neutral and gentle natural energy as the mediation...it is indeed the origin tree of the world."
Ren's eyes glowed with silver as he praised.
This was probably the biggest opportunity he and Artoria had received since they came to this world.
Of course, this opportunity is not easy to get, and it contains a sinkhole.
If it were not for borrowing the power of the system to clear away the imprint of the power of foreign gods on the seeds of the World Tree, whoever sows this thing will die. No matter how well it is cultivated, it will only become a wedding dress in the end.
"Boss, you're here."
Nana put a blanket under her body and lay beside the sapling, looking at the tree curiously.
"How do you feel?" Renn came over, squatted down, and touched Nana's little head.
"Boss, I feel so full after absorbing the energy naturally emitted by this sapling."
Nana sat next to the sapling of the World Tree, and her little hands moved the leaves from time to time.
When Ren heard this, he looked through her body and found that her internal organs and even the tissue cells throughout her body were filled with a sea of vitality and blood.
The essence of the Force contained in it was like countless golden threads interweaving in and out of her flesh and blood, transforming her body bit by bit.
"Huh? Is this a bloodline awakening or an upgrade?" Renn picked up Nana with a surprised look on his face.
"I don't know. Anyway, Nana feels so comfortable and has become stronger."
Nana smiled playfully and waved her fists a few times.
Ren touched his chin and thought this was a good thing. He decided to let her stay next to the World Tree sapling from now on and projected a bed.
He smiled and said: "Okay, from now on you will be the legendary good dragon guarding the World Tree."
"Never."
Nana shook her head repeatedly, deliberately bared her teeth and claws, and exposed her crystal little tiger teeth, and said angrily, "I am the evil dragon, the evil dragon Favna, super fierce, ho ho!"
Renn: "..."
How stupid.
Why do I feel so exhausted?
She wasn't so childish before, biting everyone she saw, but now she feels like a little girl who makes a living by being cute.
"Boss, this seedling is growing so slowly. It has only grown one centimeter in height this week."
Nana unscrewed a bottle of the Fountain of Resurrection and poured it on the seedlings, and the rich vitality immediately overflowed.
Bathed in the spring of resurrection like silver dew, the branches and leaves of the World Tree seedlings swayed, and the light flowed, like beautiful coral or crystal handicrafts.
But it still has no tendency to grow at all.
Nana took out a big ruler, squatted on the ground and measured it, and said angrily:
"Humph, I won't last long just by eating. I might as well drink these sweet spring water."
"It's too slow." Ren frowned and was a little dissatisfied.
The Fountain of Resurrection is not cheap, one gold coin per milliliter.
Water at least one tube every day, 200 ml, which is 200 gold coins.
It costs 6,000 gold coins in one month. When the saplings get bigger, we may need to increase the amount.
If Renn hadn't made a fortune by killing Count Macrae, and blackmailed the Queen and Veronica, he would have drunk the northwest wind.
"It needs to be watered with rich and vibrant spring water..."
Ren suddenly had an idea, pulled out the magic knife, and cut his palm.
A stream of bright red blood with a faint golden light sprinkled down, watering the World Tree seedlings.
It absorbed the blood, trembled suddenly, pulled out some buds from the branches, and grew several young leaves at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ah this..."
Nana was a little surprised and blinked her watery eyes, "Can it still be like this?"
Renn had a clear expression and explained: "In terms of vitality and nutrition, the Resurrection Fountain is obviously not as good as my blood."
"Damn it, you still want to suck the blood of the boss." Nana glared at the seedlings on the ground angrily, "I really want to trample this vampire to death."
"..."
Renn laughed dumbly.
After chatting with Nana for a while, he walked out of the domain space and closed it.
Following the stairs to the living room on the first floor of the villa, Ren was about to call Artoria's name, but suddenly got stuck.
She has already left.
Renn: [You can use blood to cultivate world seedlings. ]
Artoria: [Got it. ]
Renn: [Where are you? Still having trouble? ]
Artoria: [We are almost reaching Wilton City. The railway tracks in the south have been severely damaged by demons and have been completely paralyzed. We can only take a carriage...
I didn't meet any enemies, except for the two dark marquises who came to kill me when they first left the city. There was no one around. It seemed that I wasn't taken seriously. ]
…
After chatting for a few words, Renn closed the contact platform and his mood improved again.
He will set off the day after tomorrow.
He needs to visit some friends these two days to say goodbye. After all, he doesn’t know when he will return to Merova City next time.
At night, Ren put on his cloak and rushed to the black market. On the way, he heard the heated discussions of passers-by.
"Dead. Lord Dimon, the 'Roaring Warhammer', one of the ten saints of Falorland, died in the battle in the southern plains and was torn into pieces by the werewolf Archduke Luke!"
"Oh my God, a generation of saints has fallen. When will this war end?"
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Lord Dimeng is a fifth-level berserker. He is famous for being brave and good at fighting. How could he fall?"
………
The streets and alleys were filled with heated discussions among citizens. Many people looked horrified, as if the sky was falling.
Of course, there are more than ten saints in the Kingdom of Faloran. Counting those who are lurking in the dark, it is not surprising that there will be several times more.
But the ten great saints are basically existences that have been famous for nearly a hundred years. In the kingdom, they are like the magic needle that fixes the sea. Especially among the people, they are almost the belief of many ordinary people.
If one dies, it’s a storm.
Ren walked on the street, listened to the discussions of the citizens, and bought a newspaper from the newsboy.
"The Werewolf Archduke Luke, a friend of Prince Milo, should still be the pinnacle of the Dark Dukes... Last night, he ambushed and tore Saint 'Roaring Warhammer' Dimon into pieces, not far from Orange Town in the southern plains, and took a bath Bloody and crazy...
What an eventful time. "
