Chapter 2725: The Gentleman of the Past
"That happened fifty years ago."
Wai used a slightly nostalgic beginning. Hearing this tone, Kael thought it would be a long, ups and downs and touching story.
But in fact, the story happened in a very short time, only a few months. Even if Wai described all the details, he finished the story quickly.
To put it bluntly, this is a story about a liar and a fool.
The liar is Yuna, and the fool is Dox... Of course, there is also a bystander, Wai.
At that time, Dox discovered an ancient laboratory through the information of his friends and his own speculation. According to the information, this laboratory was left behind by an alchemist.
Generally speaking, the laboratory left behind by the alchemist is the most valuable among all the relics, and it is also the first choice for wandering wizards to encounter when they go on adventures.
After getting this information, Dox immediately invited Wai to explore together. Only when he arrived at the destination did he find that the so-called alchemist, the owner of the laboratory, was actually just an alchemy apprentice, and this was also an alchemy apprentice of aromatherapy, a branch of pharmacy.
Although they were a little disappointed, they still had some expectations. This time, they really found a secret room, but the outside of this secret room was filled with strange fragrance, which could not be blown away by wind or water, and could penetrate everywhere, even if they were fully armed.
Once affected by the fragrance, they would fall into a coma.
In order to solve this puzzle, they found a female apprentice who claimed to have research on fragrance, and this person was Yuna.
After traveling with Yuna, they returned to the ruins. After arriving at the ruins, Yuna innocently said that she only studied the fragrance of mortals. This was no longer within her research scope.
Wai and Dox were not stupid either. They immediately understood that Yuna joined the team simply to find out where the ruins were. And Yuna had a secret wind technique, and her ability to escape was very strong. She could escape even if she was besieged. Then, she would find someone to rob the treasures of the ruins.
However, even though he knew Yuna's thoughts, Dox, as the captain, still forgave her. He even let Yuna join the team directly to explore and share the profits together.
The reason why Dox did this was because he was still very innocent at that time. Influenced by his mother, he had great tolerance and respect for women. He even told Wai that no matter what women did to him, he would not do it to women.
Then, Yuna discovered Dox's "gentleman" trait, and began a series of speechless operations in Wai's eyes.
In just a few months of traveling together, he had already cheated Dox of most of his wealth.
But Dox still maintained his demeanor.
Later, they found a way to crack the incense array outside the ruins, and found a box surrounded by fragrance inside. According to the details, it should be the manuscript of the alchemy apprentice.
Yuna immediately expressed her need, but Dox was thinking about waiting to find someone to crack the fragrance, then open the box, and write one each.
Yuna agreed at the time, but the subsequent development... was unexpected.
They were surrounded by a group of people, and that group of people was actually Yuna's accomplices. From the beginning, Yuna had companions. Yuna followed them to wait for the ruins to be opened, and then called her companions to intercept.
At that time, Vay's fighting instinct was very strong. After finding that he was surrounded, he immediately judged the situation and immediately summoned the Earth Prison to lock Yuna up.
But Yuna's accomplices seemed to not care about Yuna's life at all, and even beat Yuna together.
Seeing that Yuna was about to be killed by her companions, Dox risked being seriously injured to block the attack for her. He also released Yuna from the cage.
But Yuna was not grateful to Dox, and stabbed Dox from behind and took the box.
Then he said to the dying Dox: "Remember the lesson I taught you today. Women are just like men, and they are not worthy of trust."
Accompanied by laughter, Yuna and her companions left.
As for Vay, those people did not dare to target him too much, probably because Yuna secretly told them that Vay was from the Noah clan. Therefore, the only one who was really injured was Dox.
Perhaps, Dox was not killed because of Vay.
"The final ending is that I took Dox to the wizard market and found someone to save him." At this point, the story is basically over. The subsequent development can probably be guessed.
Kael looked sad: "It turns out that Lord Red Sword has such a past."
Wai nodded and said with emotion: "Actually, now that I think about it, I don't hate Yuna very much. At least, Yuna really taught Dox a lesson. Since that day, although Dox occasionally behaves like a gentleman, he is no longer as old-fashioned as before when it comes to interests."
Angel said silently in his heart: It can be seen... If he is still as gentlemanly as before, he will not attack the evil woman directly.
"However, it is a coincidence. I didn't expect that the evil woman actually met Yuna and learned about Dox's past from Yuna." Wai touched his chin and felt a little incredible.
"What a coincidence! At the tea party, witches' favorite topics are nothing more than those few, and the topic of 'male' is at least in the top ten." The speaker was the Black Earl, who sneered when he mentioned this.
"Your Excellency has also attended a tea party?" Kael asked in surprise.
The Black Earl's nostrils dilated for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "I haven't been there myself, but there are many women among Noah's descendants."
Kael nodded in understanding. The descendants of Noah basically had a part of the Black Earl, and they went to the tea party with their descendants. Although it was a bit strange, it was understandable.
However, Angel sensed the sudden change in Earl Black's mood and raised his eyebrows slightly.
There was actually no need for the Black Earl to specifically say that he did not go there himself.
Also, men are not allowed at the tea party. And if men want to enter the tea party, there is only one way.
Angel said silently in his heart: It seems that he has learned some incredible secrets...
The Black Earl didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so he quickly said: "Evaluating men is something that many witches like to do at tea parties. Therefore, if the evil woman meets Yuna, it is normal for them to discuss this topic at the tea party."
At this point, the Black Earl still wanted to divert trouble to the east. He turned the slate and said to Angel: "Soon, a new tea party will begin. By then, there is no doubt that you will become their focus. Once you are brought into the storm of public opinion by some witches with ulterior motives, you will suffer."
Angel disagreed. The main venue of this tea party was in the Wilderness of Dreams. Whoever dared to set his pace would be given the authority by him!
With this thought in his mind, Angel said, "It shouldn't be possible. I actually don't have many contacts with formal wizards, and even fewer witches among them. I don't know a few witches."
Black Earl: "That's true, but you will definitely become the focus. It just depends on which side public opinion will lead in the end."
"However, speaking of it, you can ask your mentor for advice in this regard." The Black Earl's tone became a little subtle: "Although he is positioned as a dark wizard and is completely merciless to witches, but surprisingly , His reputation at the tea party was extremely high. I don’t know how he did it. He probably let Jing Ji and Ivanasa secretly influence public opinion.”
As long as Kagami participates in the tea party, she will be a boss-level existence. As a witch resident in the Savage Cave in the City of Truth, Ivanasha also has great influence and is also a top-level existence.
Angel did not answer because he found that the Black Earl's tone was obviously sour.
I guess the reputation of the Black Earl will not be too good at the tea party.
You're right when you think about it, even if it wasn't a tea party, Earl Black's reputation wasn't very good. If Angel hadn't asked Lord Rhine in advance, he would probably have a perverted filter towards the Black Earl.
Although the filter has not been completely removed yet...
…
While they were chatting about irrelevant topics, the situation on the field changed very quickly.
Doakes was distracted for a moment because of the mention of Yuna.
It was at this point that Doakes lost his mind and was knocked from a high altitude by the evil woman's bandage, hitting the ground directly.
However, Doakes's body was quite strong and he was not seriously injured. When he turned over, a fat worm phantom appeared on his back.
The moment the worm's phantom appeared, a large number of sword stabs were ejected from the worm's back, pointing directly at the evil woman.
The bandages on the evil woman's body, like countless pairs of tentacles, blocked the incoming sword thrusts.
However, what the evil woman didn't expect was that the second wave of sword stabs released by Doakes was more numerous and denser than she imagined.
Densely packed like a black swarm of bees.
The evil woman glanced at the ground with her peripheral vision while responding to the incoming sword thrust. But he saw Doakes lying on the ground. At some point, the spine on his back bulged out from under the skin, and a large number of sword thorns covered in blood proliferated on the spine.
Apparently, Doakes activated his bloodline!
Sword-backed sandworm!
In addition to the existing bloodline bonus, the biggest and most outstanding feature of the sword-back sandworm bloodline is the unlimited growth of the sword spines on its back.
As long as there is enough energy and blood, the sword stabs will reach a very terrifying number.
As for the blood side wizard, the ability to restore blood has been practiced since he was an apprentice. In addition, the magic whirlpool of the official wizard can absorb endless energy. As long as the total number of sword stabs generated each time is controlled, permanent generation can be achieved without would put any burden on the wizard.
Although the sword stabbing talent is good, it requires extremely high mental strength and a certain amount of swordsmanship talent.
Doakes can be called the "Red Sword" because his swordsmanship is rare in the world. Paired with the sword-backed sandworm, the benefits of one plus one are greater than two.
Doakes is probably the only person who fits the Swordback Sandworm bloodline so well.
Facing endless sword stabs like a sea, the evil woman's bandages are limited after all. A large number of sword stabs broke through the encirclement, nailed directly to the evil woman's body, and even passed through the evil woman.
Along with screams, countless blood splashed out.
The evil woman also dragged her long hair and fell from the sky.
Seeing this scene, Kael showed excitement. Although Vai did not speak, his eyes could not conceal his excitement.
However, neither Angel nor the Black Earl had any mood swings.
The Black Earl has always been like this.
Angel discovered something was wrong. The miserable situation of the evil woman was indeed horrifying, but the gray merchant and others opposite did not show any emotion.
This is very wrong.
Angel continued to read with cautious thoughts.
Sure enough, although the evil woman fell to the ground, her scream was followed by a sinister smile. This smile started from being forbearing, then got louder and louder, until it became extremely arrogant and unrestrained.
The evil woman's originally lowered head slowly lifted up amid laughter.
As shrill laughter echoed over the arena, the evil woman's knee-length hair began to grow crazily and spread, even covering her body.
Doakes probably also noticed something was wrong, the sword thrusts did not stop, and even became more and more intensive.
Some of the sword thorns were blocked by the hair; some cut off the hair, but were quickly weakened by the hair further inside; and some sword thorns broke through all obstacles and penetrated into the center of the hair, but there was nothing more than the ground. Except for some blood, the evil woman's laughter did not weaken at all.
On the contrary, the more serious the injury was and the more blood flowed, the more excited she became.
"Are you sick?" Doakes looked at the blood on the ground getting bigger and bigger, and the evil woman's laughter became more and more crazier. Even as an opponent, she felt a little cold.
The evil woman's laughter was still there, but at this time, apart from the laughter, a strange sound suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.
"Yu...na..."
"Yuna..."
It seemed like the evil woman was speaking, but it also seemed like a plaintive moan coming from an endless abyss.
Angel and others felt a little weird when they heard this. But on Doakes' side, when the voice appeared, something unexpected happened.
The originally densely packed sword stabs were becoming fewer in number at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At first, they were as dense as a swarm, but now, each wave of sword stabs is decreasing, and as the calls of "Yuna" become more and more frequent, there are fewer sword stabs.
In the end, the only things Doakes could control were Bai Lai and Sword Thorn.
And these sword stabs, not to mention breaking through the cocoon-like hair, can't even pass the bandage level.
"What's going on?" Kael's eyes were filled with astonishment, "Why, why are there fewer and fewer sword stabs?"
Kael looked at Vai, but Vai also had a confused look on his face: "Does Doakes still have an old crush on Yuna? That's not right. Even Doakes didn't like Yuna back then, let alone "Isn't the woman in front of him an evil woman? What does it have to do with Yuna?"
While they were talking, the changes on the field came one after another, and the evil woman flew into the air again, but her body was now completely covered by waterfall-like hair.
Blood dripped from the evil woman's hair drop by drop.
The evil woman's faint voice also came from behind her hair: "Do you know why I keep wearing bandages?"
Before Doakes could answer, he was covered by a burst of sharp laughter from the evil woman, who then said: "Because..."
When the words fell, an energy shock spread from the inside of the hair, and the hair was rushed to both sides, revealing the "tragic state" of the evil woman inside.
Yes, it is indeed tragic. His whole body was covered in blood, especially his body, where countless pieces of flesh and blood were just hanging.
But the evil woman didn't take it seriously, and instead showed a perverted smile: "Because, there are wounds under the bandages, left by him, left by him, left by her, left by it... you What I left behind, and what I left behind!”
"Hahahaha" the laughter was harsh, but it made the evil woman look terrifying.
What followed with the laughter was the collection of blood and energy from all the wounds on the evil woman's bandage. They turned into a bloody spear of light and shot straight towards Doakes.
Doakes wanted to use his sword to resist, but the strange voice echoed again: "Yuna... Yu... Na..."
Doakes was momentarily distracted.
But this time the loss of concentration was fatal, because
The bloody light spear has already rushed to Doakes' chest!
