Chapter 1020 Chapter 1018 Loss of Control

After taking the Merciful from Simond, Seresi held the Merciful in one hand and the rather dim lantern in the other, and took the initiative to demonstrate the process of using the Merciful to absorb the soul energy from the soul-guiding lamp.

The hideous skull head squeezed out the bitterness and helplessness of humanity, like an innocent old farmer who had worked the land for a lifetime and had his grain in the warehouse robbed by robbers, looking very aggrieved.

"As you can see, the Merciful One needs to absorb a lot of soul energy to complete the charging and reach the standard of [Opening the Gate to the Underworld]. This is the main reason why the master gave the Merciful One to me.

I have only used the Merciful One twice since I got it from the master. The Soul Lamp is on the verge of exhaustion. Unless a large number of souls are refilled into the Soul Lamp on the battlefield, the Merciful One now can no longer open the third Gate to the Underworld.

Maybe you have a way to help me solve this problem?"

Serresi's words did not get any sympathy from Simond, but made Simond even more disgusted with this hypocritical collaborator in front of him.

The name of [Soul Chain Warden] is enough to rank among the top ten villains in Runeland. Every wronged soul in the Soul Lamp represents a heinous crime.

From a more realistic point of view, the soul energy consumed by becoming a Merciful One is more like a kind of relief, a best way to escape from cruel torture. If you fall into the hands of Serresi, a pervert, you will definitely understand the feeling of being worse than death. It is better to die early.

Simond waved his hand with a cold face.

"Don't say that. I don't have any way to solve your problem. You have slaughtered many people in the land of Ixtal, which is more than enough to replenish your soul-guiding lamp. You haven't solved this problem yourself, so where can I get so many souls?"

Seresi shook her head repeatedly.

"Your Excellency misunderstood me. I don't want you to replenish my soul-guiding lamp for me. I want to ask you to give me a star rune crystal. One star rune crystal is enough to solve my current predicament."

Knowing Serresi's purpose, Simond took a deep breath and felt it was ridiculous.

The material used to make the Star Rune Crystal is the Star Crystal, which is very rare in the Star Realm. The birth and breaking process of stars will produce unique Star Energy. These energies are attracted by the magic standpoint of the Star Realm, and eventually grow slowly in the mines of the Star Realm Temple in the form of Star Crystal Clusters.

It takes hundreds of stars to grow a Star Crystal the size of a baby's fist. The Star Rune Crystal requires the Star Spirit Giant to carve the appropriate Star Crystal into the necessary size and shape of the Rune Crystal, and then engrave the Star Rune by infusing the Star Power.

Only after completing the above work can you get a complete Star Rune Crystal. Most of the Star Rune Crystals are self-produced and self-sold. The Star Spirit Giants themselves do not have enough, and they will not be lost outside.

His master, Trentis, must have it, but it is absolutely impossible for him to give the Star Rune Crystal to the underworld as a condition of cooperation.

"Star Rune Crystal? Even I don't have such a thing, you are so bold to ask for it. If you really want to get the Star Rune Crystal, I can only advise you not to dream in the daydream."

Simonde could vaguely feel that he was telling the truth, but Seresi couldn't stop there, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to explain.

He got the order from the Dark Lord of the Underworld, and he had to obey it even if it was an outrageous order. Whether the Star Realm would give it to him was one thing, and whether he wanted it was another.

"Sir, can you think of a way? If even you can't get the Star Rune Crystal, I'm afraid no one will have it in the Rune Land.

To be honest, the Star Rune Crystal will play a vital role in this war.

With the Star Rune Crystal, I can complete the transformation of the Soul Lantern and directly control the Scourge to collect souls.

At that time, I will lead the Scourge, which can escape into the netherworld at any time, to launch an attack in the heart of the Noxus Empire, creating more opportunities for us to win this war..."

"I think I have made it clear enough, you..."

The words stopped abruptly before they were finished. Simond's face suddenly became a little uncertain, and he held his temple with his fingers. It was Cui Tiers who was talking to him directly through the star realm induction.

Cui Tiers actually valued this cooperation with the underworld far more than he thought.

[Agree to his conditions, I will prepare a Star Rune Stone, and you can give it to him when the time is right]

After a moment of silence, Simond could only agree. As a creation of Cui Tiers, he was not qualified to refute what his master said.

Putting aside his personal will, his situation is no different from that of the humble skeleton in front of him. He is just a slave of a stronger person.

[I understand]

[But we are not without conditions. Tell him that if he wants the Star Rune Stone, he must first let the Underworld Army capture the Barusk Pass]

The Star Realm induction was interrupted. Under Seresi's probing eyes, Simond said coldly.

"My master promised to provide you with a Star Rune Crystal, provided that the Underworld Army must capture the Barusk Pass."

Seresi was overjoyed. He was not afraid of the Star Realm making conditions, but was afraid that the Star Realm would not make conditions.

However, judging from this rather tortuous negotiation process, it should be that before he arrived, his master had reached an unknown deal with the Star Realm Giant behind Simond.

So leaning against a big tree makes it easy to enjoy the shade. Compared with Foego, the love-minded king who only knows how to call "Isulde", Mordekaiser is the real king and ruler, and even the star world has to give him face.

"In this case, I will start preparations. Please rest assured, Lord Simond. I will definitely offer the Barusk Pass to you. However, before we take action, we also ask Lord Simond to help keep it secret, so as not to lose the chance of surprise. ”

…

City Lord's Mansion, private reception room.

Flavio sat on the big chair with his chin in his hands with a gloomy expression, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was dozing.

Endom stood aside with the other two pure-bloods, not daring to take a breath.

As long as you are not a fool, you can see what kind of state your boss is in. Naturally, no one dares to get into trouble at this moment.

Under the weight of silence, a blood-colored bat flew into the half-open window. The blood squirmed and turned into a human-shaped blood cocoon like an ooze monster. The blood cocoon broke open, and a beautiful blood descendant with a male and female appearance walked out of it. , knelt down and saluted the Lord of Liuwan City who was sitting on the big chair.

"Sir Flavio, the meeting is over."

Hearing the soft and charming voice, Flavio opened his eyes suddenly, his blood-red eyes reflecting the beautiful face of the vampire.

"How about it?"

The vampire lowered his head, not daring to look into Flavio's eyes.

"The envoy promised to give the underworld a star rune crystal. As part of the transaction, the underworld needs to break through the Barusk Pass."

Flavio suddenly clenched his fists, and a few streaks of black blood suddenly appeared on his pale cheeks.

"You actually promised the Star Rune Crystal? Why?"

No one can answer Flavio's question. Those who can answer this question will naturally not stay here waiting for others to complete the transaction and then inform them. They have already participated in the secret meeting between the star world and the underworld.

What made Flavio most angry was that he was excluded from the Star Realm and was not even qualified to attend.

You must know that he is the lord of Liuwan City who represents the Blood Dynasty. He was driven out of his own castle in his own territory and could only get the news after the meeting was over. What a shame.

"I am ashamed of Lord Blood King's expectations. I have no face to face the clan."

Flavio stood up, looking grief-stricken. The male-female vampire quickly stood up and supported the trembling city lord.

"Sir Flavio, I have a way to restore our dignity. I wonder if I should say it or not?"

Flavio held the Bloodborn's right hip with his hand, covered his face and lamented while waving his hands to the three of Ndom. Ndom bowed and left with the others, leaving a private space for the Lord of the City and his lover. .

"This is the end of the matter. Is there anything else that needs to be said? Everyone has left. Just tell me. I won't blame you."

His face turned slightly red, and the vampire lowered his voice.

"How about we quietly pass this news to the Noxians. The prepared Noxians will definitely not let the underworld break through the Barusk Pass. No matter what the god promised, it will be meaningless. It will also become a joke.”

Flavio looked hesitant, and his fingers began to exert force unconsciously, causing the vampire to moan.

"In this case, wouldn't it be betraying the envoy of God?"

"And, it's not a betrayal. The God's envoy didn't take us into consideration when he reached an agreement with the underworld, and we didn't leak the news. It was the Noxians who heard about it. What does it have to do with us?"

After kissing his charming blood lover lightly, Flavio smiled ambiguously, unable to suppress the desire in his heart.

"As expected, you are my darling, you always know what I am thinking."

"Sir, don't, don't be like this, let's go back to the dormitory... okay?"

"Be obedient, I can still take charge here."

"Okay, okay, sir, you have to be patient. Don't scream out and be discovered by others. Then people will say that I stabbed you in the back..."

…

In the temporary stronghold on the outskirts of Liuwan City, Lester put a cipher text on the table.

"This is the information obtained by the secret agent. Seresi is preparing to attack the Barusk Pass. The target is the Star Rune Crystal. I have arranged for people to pass the information to General Avar. The Flame Fortress is not so easy to capture."

After hearing about the 'Star Rune Crystal', Cassiopeia looked salivating, while Catalina picked up the information and looked at it for a few times, frowning.

"This information is too detailed. It even clearly marked the meeting time and location. Could it be false?"

Lester shook his head.

"Don't worry, the source of the information is absolutely reliable."

Catalina let out a breath, glanced at her sister, turned her head, and spoke seriously.

"Okay, what do we do next?"

Lester spread out the architectural structural diagram of Liuwan City that he had already drawn, and pointed to an culvert outside Liuwan City.

"The underworld not only needs to reorganize the natural disaster army, but also mobilize troops from the underworld portal. Seresi will definitely not leave Liuwan City for a while, and there is still time.

I will sneak directly into the main fort of Flowing Bay City through the culvert. If I have the chance, I will kill Seresi directly and seize the Merciful One. Someone will deliver the Merciful One to you when the time comes.

Your mission is to bring the Merciful One back to Fidelite at all costs and hand the Merciful One to Xina. "

During the operation, Lester took nearly 80% of the risk himself. In addition to pitying the Du Kecao sisters, he knew that only he had the ability to capture the Merciful One and get out of Flowing Bay City alive.

No one else, even the extraordinary people of the Empire, could have such a high degree of confidence.

With the Merciful One, the Empire can reversely study the method of going to the underworld and lay the material foundation for the Empire to conquer Mitna Lachen.

She was very eager to carry out the mission of sneaking into Flowing Bay City with Lester, but the solemn Katarina did not ask such a meaningless and stupid question as "Can't we go with you?" Instead, Cassiopeia tightened her pretty face and looked very worried.

"I still want to ask, is this plan too radical and risky? If my teacher were here, she would definitely not agree to this plan. Compared to a Mercenary, the Empire needs a safe you more... Or should my sister and I find a way to go in and snatch the Mercenary?"

Lester smiled gently, put away the map of Flow Bay City, and gave Katarina and Cassiopeia a hug respectively as a farewell.

"Silly girl, if I were an ordinary person, I would not take such a risk. Unfortunately, I am not an ordinary person, and I cannot take possession of so many resources and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Wouldn't that make me a coward like Brown Darkwill?

I am both the emperor of the empire and a member of the empire. If even I retreat, the spirit of Roxy will become a worthless slogan, and the Noxians do not need a coward to be their emperor.

I believe that I can come back alive, just as I believe that you can complete the mission and return safely."

Watching Lester open the door and leave, Katarina, who has believed in the will of Noxus and the spirit of Roxy since childhood, began to have red eyes.

Unlike other human kingdoms, the generals and commanders of Noxus have always been on the front line, from the emperor to the low-level officers. Commanders who hide in the rear will never get the opportunity to take power.

It is this kind of brave style of following the example of the superiors that deeply attracts her heart, and her pride also comes from this fearless atmosphere.

Only such a leader is worth following with one's life.

"Sister, I didn't expect you to be so weak."

Pinching her handkerchief and wiping the corners of Katarina's eyes, Cassiopeia, who was being watched by Katarina, did not mean to laugh at her sister, because she was not much better.

Now that she is in the game, she can understand how heavy this emotion is, so heavy that she doesn't know whether this goodbye is a farewell forever.

Finally I have some free time. In the next two days, I will do my best to update and make up for all the chapters I owe. By the way, this book feels finished and is expected to be finished next month. At that time, I will continue the contracted eunuch book of another account.
