Broad World

As the last crown was bought by the Kermeril family at a sky-high price, the banquet was coming to an end. Except for a few guys who were really interested in sculpture and painting, they still stayed in the hall and walked around, most of them had complicated feelings. Heart returned to the residence in a carriage.

Undoubtedly, although they failed to win the most valuable treasure, they have gained something more or less, especially the man's act of giving away hundreds of thousands of gold coins without blinking an eye, which is definitely enough to become a member of the noble circle. The most breaking news here, even the royal family of Cormyr has to reconsider how to handle this matter.

But none of this had much to do with Henry. He was sitting on a chair in a lounge at the moment, squinting his eyes at Ali Hassan Abdul Majid Tikriti.

It has to be said that this Calinthian nobleman is indeed very talented in business. In the auction just now, he quietly raised the price of 50% of the goods by 20%, and estimated it very accurately. The psychological price of many people is worthy of being an outstanding talent who can lead the family to rise.

Now that there is no problem with talent, the only thing to worry about now is loyalty. Because the noble character of Calimshan is notorious, betrayal is completely commonplace for them, and sometimes they choose to stab their allies at the most critical time.

Henry didn't want the chess game he worked so hard to be destroyed by someone's betrayal in the end, so he always exuded a terrifying aura, intending to leave a serious shadow on the middle-aged man in front of him, so that he would think of himself in the future. Will feel trembling all over, fear is always one of the best ways to keep a person from betraying easily.

Ali obviously felt the tremendous pressure, the sweat on his forehead kept dripping down, and his beige robe was completely soaked, but he didn't dare to move, just sat on the chair tremblingly. Head down like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced.

The weird scene lasted for a full ten minutes. Henry felt that it was almost done, so he cleared his throat and said, "How, have you considered it? Remember, once you make a choice, there is no way out, you and yours From now on, the family is just a pawn, every move must obey my arrangement, even if it is destroyed."

"Of course, I've thought it through long ago. It's my honor to be your chess piece. No matter what the order is, I can guarantee that it will be completed exactly." Ali hurriedly knelt down and swore. In order to avoid this catastrophe, he has already risked everything. Anyway, he is not used to how harsh the conditions are, so he agrees first and then talks about it. As for the future, we will talk about it later. As long as people don't die, there will be a turning point.

"Hehe, if that's the case, stretch out your right hand." Henry stretched out a glowing finger, knowing that there was quite a terrifying magical power gathered on it without asking.

Although Ali was a little scared. But he still raised his hand obediently, watching nervously as the scarlet magic aura began to penetrate into the skin little by little, followed by an indescribable pain that rushed into his brain instantly. The whole person began to twitch involuntarily, and his teeth bit his lips to prevent himself from shouting.

Henry stared at the middle-aged man who was trying to endure, and nodded approvingly: "Yes, I like your tenacity. Don't worry, this spell is not only harmless to your body, but also can gain some wonderful powers .”

As soon as the words fell, the last burst of energy poured into Ali's palm. The flesh was torn apart immediately, and then the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slowly formed a scar like a claw. The evil and filthy power kept coming out from inside, spreading to the entire arm in the blink of an eye .

He watched his arms grow thicker and thicker, and also grew red scales and barbs, and asked in surprise: "This... what kind of power is this?!"

"The power of the devil, I will fuse part of the devil's flesh into your arm. Then it will cause mutations in the muscles and bones. How about it, does it feel like the power has increased a lot?" Henry said with a playful smile.

Obviously, he didn't have any good intentions in doing so. The piece of demon flesh and blood belonged to Balor the Balrog Colby, which meant that when he needed it. At any time, you can let your servant activate the filth contained in it and completely transform it into a demon form. Then directly control the other party's thoughts.

Ali moved his demonized arm slightly, and touched the corner of the table lightly. Before he could use any force, a piece of hard wood was broken off, and his sharp nails were like blades, easily cutting through the marble floor.

As a not very good warrior, he immediately understood what this meant. Such terrifying claws were enough to tear a fully armed warrior in half, and even a hard poke could pull out the enemy's heart.

"It's really powerful! This...does this power really belong to me?!" Ali finally showed a hint of greed on his face.

Under the threat of death from the Magic Talisman Society, he began to realize that money and rights are not enough to guarantee the safety of his life, only his own strength is the most important thing.

"That's right, this demonic arm is now a part of your body, and you can switch between normal and demonic forms at any time. Remember, don't use it lightly unless necessary, especially in public, I believe you should know The attitude of most god churches towards demons. In addition, take this note and go to the third house from the left of the city gate tomorrow morning, and my subordinates will arrange guards and manpower for you."

After Henry finished speaking, he put a note with a code word on the table, then turned and left the lounge. He also has to prepare the ceremony for Hina to enhance her bloodline power, so there is no time to waste.

After familiarizing himself with the devil's arm for a while, Ali also hurriedly returned to his human form and left the palace in a hurry. There was faint excitement in his eyes at this moment, and he didn't know whether he was happy to resolve the crisis, or happy because he had gained strength.

Against the moonlight at night, Henry quickly walked through the quiet street to the door of the Mage Tower. Just when he was about to open the door, he suddenly stopped his hands and said without looking back: "Come out! Although you have perfectly hidden your aura, it is of no use to me at all. "

Soon, a petite female figure came out from the alley around the corner. She was wearing a long purple dress and her face was covered with a veil, because the weather was too cold. The body was shaking involuntarily, it was Ali's daughter Esma.

Seeing this situation, Henry immediately took off his cloak and wrapped it up for the girl. He sighed slightly and asked, "Why don't you stay in the palace, don't you know it's cold outside and will freeze you to death?"

"I...I am the master's...shadow...before...you get a new order...one...you must follow the left and right and listen to the order." Esma said intermittently with her purplish lips trembling. This sentence is over.

"Well, I was negligent."

Henry shook his head helplessly, directly took the girl's hand and brought her into the mage tower. He almost forgot that there was such a little tail behind him. Due to her inhumane training, Esma doesn't know the meaning of life except for her master's orders.

That is to say, if one day he doesn't remember to let this girl eat, then this delicate-looking doll will starve herself to death.

Even a person's basic physical needs can be abandoned through training. Henry really can't imagine how perverted and cruel these guys are to torture a group of underage children.

But thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had no right to despise the other party. After all, he also let Robert secretly train a group of killers and assassins through some psychological suggestion and hypnosis methods, and the average age was between fourteen and seventeen. between. The only difference is that they only abandon humanity when performing tasks, and they are usually similar to ordinary people.

The mage tower maintains a constant temperature all year round, so once you come in. Esma took off her cloak, folded it neatly, and knelt on the ground to offer it with both hands. The cautious look made people feel a little pitiful.

But Henry knew that after years of training, these movements had become a habit, and it would take at least two years to correct them.

It's a pity he doesn't have so much time to waste on a girl. So I took the cloak and put it on again, then pointed to the sofa in the hall and said, "You go over there to rest first, and you can sleep if you are sleepy. I will ask the golem to bring you some food and drink. The second door around the corner, the bathroom is opposite the toilet, remember?"

In order to prevent similar accidents from happening again, he explained everything clearly. I'm afraid that someone will accidentally raise the girl to death.

"Understood, I will stay here and wait for your orders." Esma stood up and bowed, walked to the sofa alone and sat motionless, like a lonely puppet, looking a little bleak.

Henry sighed again helplessly. Turn around and walk upstairs. He didn't even remember how many times he sighed this time, it seemed that he had to find a way to make the girl look like a human as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be problems sooner or later.

As soon as he came to the workshop, the first thing he did was to order the golem to prepare food and drink for Esma, then took out a bottle of the blood of the ancient red dragon, and began to draw magic lines on the ground. These tasks must be completed before midnight, because the best results can only be achieved with the help of the special power of the moon in the sky.

For the half-dragon people, there is only one such opportunity, so they must be extra careful. Once they fail, they will not only lose their power, but also cause their blood to degenerate, especially under the premise that Faircrag is dead, even if there is no room for recovery. nothing.

Henry, who was in a state of concentration, completely forgot the time. When he finished the last step, Talling's low voice suddenly sounded: "Master, your friend Ms. Hina is already at the door. Would you like to let her in?"

"Of course, let her come to me right away. Also, how long is it until midnight?" Henry asked while checking for omissions.

"It's less than half an hour. If you plan to perform the ceremony, it's best to do it five minutes in advance." Ta Ling answered meticulously.

"It seems that there is still time, and I hope that there will be no mistakes." After speaking, Henry stood up and stretched, and then pushed aside all the things in the room to prevent the turbulent flow of magic during the ceremony. , causing unnecessary damage. (to be continued ~^~)
