Chapter 432 Who Is the Ash and Who Is the Flame

"Put your hand over here and see."

The sacred mark on Chu Ming's right hand bloomed with green vitality. Green light flowed through Marcel's arm. The black blood vessels distributed like tree roots sizzled and smoked. The chaotic aura gradually left his body.

Under the light of life, Marcel's face gradually relaxed, and strong power was returning to his body.

After a while, his eyes became piercing, every cell in his body was filled with life energy, and his strength returned to its peak state.

Marcel was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chu Ming nodded and used the same method to restore the other two half-kings to their peak condition.

Marcel made a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness, please follow us into the legion conference hall to discuss the next war plan. There are many people here, and there may be followers of the evil god hidden there."

"They are so hidden that even the Mage Tower has a hard time detecting their existence, and they can even hide in the realm of life."

"A believer in the evil god?"

Chu Ming murmured, waved his hand and took out the Winter Spring, "Let me see where they are hiding."

The staff struck the ground, making an ethereal sound, like water droplets falling into a calm lake, creating ripples one after another.

The believers of the evil god who cannot be found in the realm of life may not be contaminated with the aura of the evil god, or they may be hidden so deeply that the aura of the evil god cannot be sensed in the realm of life.

But his mental perception is different. He truly brings the whole city under his supervision. Every abnormal movement and slight expression of every soldier will fall into his perception.

A person's mouth can lie, but his body cannot.

The spiritual power continued to spread, like a breeze blowing, raising bursts of smoke and dust in the ruins.

In the astonished gazes of Marcel and the other three, the magic power in front of Chu Ming weaved together the entire city, and it was extremely clear.

The half-king next to him was shocked and said: "You can achieve such a place without the help of a mage tower and a magic circle. What level of mental power has your highness reached?"

Marcel was stunned, "It seems that the rumor that His Highness broke through the ranks of Mage Half-King and became the Master of the Mage Conference is true."

It’s not surprising that the spirit broke through the half-king. There was a group of wizards in the Fengyang Empire who transformed their bodies and polluted their spirits through special taboo rituals, and gained the power of half-kings.

Although the power of mages and wizards also comes from spiritual power, mages don't have so many shortcuts and can only honestly think of ways to increase the scale of their magic power.

Chu Ming's breakthrough to half-king as a mage also means that as long as he can learn from his journey as a mage, from now on, wizards can break through to half-king through normal meditation without resorting to shortcuts.

Although the path of a mage or wizard has nothing to do with his identity as a knight, it is related to the future of the empire and even the direction of the overall war on the continent.

How can this not be exciting?

While the three of them were still sighing, Chu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, a red light quickly lit up on the magic map, and dozens of red dots appeared on them.

He said: "These soldiers behaved somewhat abnormally. They were either peeking at us intentionally or unintentionally, or they were making some strange movements."

"Catch them first. There may be followers of the evil god hidden among them."

"yes!"

Marcel followed the instructions on the map and quickly locked all the suspicious characters on the map.

He shouted from the sky: "Soldier Karg Hines, Eric Devrundel, George Walter..."

He read a total of forty-three names, "Please go to the central street of the city gate barrier to gather."

"yes!"

The forty-three soldiers behaved in different ways. Some accepted the order and rushed to the central street without hesitation, while others were timid and timid, fearing that they would be involved in something...

After a while, all forty-three soldiers gathered in front of Marcel.

"Please give me instructions, General!"

The soldiers lined up, heads held high and chests held high, standing straight.

Marcel did not answer them, but made a gesture of invitation behind him, "Your Highness, please take a closer look."

After hearing Marcel's words, the soldiers saw the hero who defeated the Orc Half-King. They pretended to be calm and kept staring at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming stepped forward and said: "I can only confirm their suspicions, but I cannot see the power hidden in their bodies."

Marcel was stunned, but before he could show his disappointed expression, Chu Ming continued: "But I have other ways."

Before the three of them could figure out what Chu Ming was talking about, the black armor on Chu Ming's left arm suddenly seemed like boiling water, with the black mud bubbling and exuding an evil aura.

The three kings looked wary and asked in shock: "Your Highness, what is this?"

"My servant."

Chu Ming replied casually, obviously not intending to explain the idea in detail to the three of them.

"Ulz, spy on them and show me what they really look like."

A black mud head appeared from Chu Ming's arm, immediately startling everyone present.

"Jie Jie Jie...the smell of sin is so strong, the smell of some rats is almost killing me."

"Since it is requested by adults, you can tell me one by one."

The Demon God of Sin moved his fingers slightly, seemingly carelessly.

The aura of sinful desire filled the whole place and turned into black smoke and penetrated into the bodies of the soldiers. The next second they were like zombies, their eyes were lifeless and their bodies were drooping.

The first soldier unconsciously said: "I am a family knight of the Miller family in the southern province. The master asked me to observe the preferences of Lord Marcel and prepare to marry the young lady to the Dress family to obtain the protection of Lord Marcel..."

Marcel's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. The traitor had not been caught yet, but he actually revealed something related to him. Now his image in the eyes of His Highness will completely collapse.

Chu Ming said calmly: "Next."

The second soldier raised his head like a machine, "I admire the three half-kings very much and always pay attention to their safety..."

The three kings were very pleased to hear this.

After listening to the soldier's words, Chu Ming neither nodded nor shook his head, but just said calmly: "Next."

"..."

"Next."

"..."

The answers of the previous soldiers were all normal, until the 35th, things changed a little.

The soldier muttered, "The master... the master feels it's unfair... why should Wang Xue, who has worked hard for a hundred years, make wedding clothes for the strong? He asked me to monitor the army's movements and report at any time."

"I have seen his cooperation with some mysterious people, bloody and brutal..."

Marcel hurriedly asked, "Who are those mysterious people?"

"Yes, yes..." The soldier's head seemed to be stuck and he couldn't answer.

Seeing this, Chu Ming didn't force it, but asked Marcel beside him, "What exactly is he talking about making wedding clothes for the strong?"

Marcel was silent for a while, he sorted out his words, and answered with mental power: "This is about an experiment."

"An experiment related to becoming a god."

Chu Ming's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered what Isabel said, the Fengyang Empire was indeed preparing to deal with the end of the world.

He asked, "What kind of experiment is that?"

Marcel replied cautiously, "Your Highness, with your performance, it is not a problem for you to become a candidate for the experiment, but I don't know many details of the experiment. I can only tell you some of what I know."

"This experiment is code-named 'Ashes'. By sacrificing the power of the empire's legends, betting on the future of the entire country, and destroying young forces, ten candidates for godhood are artificially cultivated to meet the unknown disaster that is about to come."

Chu Ming's heart trembled, "In other words, all legends with royal blood in the empire will become donors?"

Marcel nodded heavily, "Once the plan begins, legends with royal blood will become victims of the times, and it will be difficult for their power to go further."

"Many legends did not realize the horror of the upcoming disaster and have been opposing the experiment."

His face was a little gloomy, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be these oppositions and evil god believers who reached a cooperation, which led to the leakage of the news of the army's movement."

"So this is the so-called godhood experiment..."

Chu Ming lowered his head to think. In order to obtain the qualification to become a god, at least ten drops of royal blood must be condensed. If it only relies on the half-king's own practice, after the life span reaches the limit, the royal blood may not reach ten drops.

But if there is a different kind of king blood, it will be easy. Take Chu Ming as an example. He only needs to digest four or five more drops of different kind of king blood and spend some time to condense the sixth king blood. This speed is much faster than his own hard practice.

It must be said that although this method is simple and crude, it is effective enough. Maybe it can really allow the Fengyang Empire to gather ten half-kings with the qualifications to become gods.

Ten half-kings, even if only one half-king successfully ignites the divine fire, it is also the birth of a new myth, and it can also give the creatures of the continent more resistance when the doomsday comes.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming came back to his senses.

At this time, all the forty-three soldiers have revealed their details, and it seems that only the traitor of the opposition just now has revealed his feet.

Chu Ming sneered in his heart. He didn't listen to these soldiers seriously at all. The real evil god believers have the protection of the evil god, and they can't be bewitched by Urz with only incomplete power.

He just wanted to relax the vigilance of the inner ghost and let Urz feel the smell of lying.

As a devil of sin, it is very easy to sense lies.

In just a moment, Chu Ming didn't even say hello, his eyes suddenly glared, and the majestic mental power was overwhelming, weighing heavily on the twelve of them.

Among them was the second soldier who admired Marcel and the other two.

This sudden change made the soldiers who were locked by the mental power forget their disguises, and they all looked up at Chu Ming in shock.

Marcel's eyes tightened, "Your Highness, are they all evil god believers?"

Chu Ming said coldly: "I don't know if they are evil god believers, but they all broke free from Urz's control and lied to me."

He raised his hand, and the twelve soldiers struggled to fly.

The old soldier named George said in panic: "My lord, did you misunderstand something? I didn't do anything."

"My lord, although we are humble, we would rather die than accept slander."

On the ground, the other soldiers woke up, and they showed an indignant look after hearing the shouts of the twelve soldiers.

A soldier came out of the ruins and begged for mercy: "Sir, maybe you really misunderstood. George left home with me to join the army. He can't be a bad guy."

"I, William, dare to guarantee it with my life."

When Marcel and the other two saw this scene, they sighed slightly and were a little shaken.

However, Chu Ming just watched the different expressions of the crowd quietly without any action.

Urz laughed and said, "Hahaha, it's not up to you to say whether they are traitors or not. I'm sure these guys are lying."

When the Devil of Sin spoke, all the soldiers were immediately angered, and more soldiers gathered from all over the ruins.

"Sir, this creature has a terrifying and evil aura. Please don't be deceived by it."

"I can guarantee that George and the others are definitely not bad people!"

Urz sneered, "You humans are really interesting. You all speak so righteously, but the fire of sin is stronger than the other."

If Chu Ming hadn't controlled him, he would have rushed out and swallowed them all with these ants.

"Sir, please stand on the side of justice."

The soldiers knelt down one after another, staring at Chu Ming, and even Urz was a little curious about how Chu Ming would deal with it.

Chu Ming glanced at the soldiers, "How do you know that you are on the side of justice?"

"Since everyone is here, it will be easy, saving me from looking for them one by one."

Spiritual exploration is not completely accurate. In addition to the twelve people in his hands, there are still many evil god believers hiding in the group of soldiers.

Urzi provoked the soldiers and aroused public anger. The purpose was to lure the evil god believers in the crowd into the trap!

Chu Ming's eyes were dyed with red flames, and the sun's light suddenly bloomed, wrapping all the soldiers in flames.

He slowly flew into the air, like a god, and a magnificent figure hidden in the thundercloud appeared behind him.

Urzi trembled in his heart, "It's over, when did this guy learn to descend to the body of the kingdom of God."

When he thought of the scene of being tortured by the divine thunder, he felt burning pain all over his body, and the black mud shrank quickly and hid under the arm armor.

In the air, Chu Ming looked down at the soldiers. The majesty of the gods in his eyes made people tremble physically and mentally. Even the three half-kings missed half a beat and felt a little suffocated.

The cold and majestic words fell.

"My will drives away darkness, my secret will burn away sins, and those who turn their hearts to darkness shall suffer the calamity of fire."

As the words fell, the sun's rays twisted and became extremely hot. The soldiers whose wills did not pass the test howled in pain on the spot, and a lot of black smoke came out of their bodies.

"Ah!"

"My head hurts so much!"

Everyone looked at the soldiers with black smoke all over their bodies in surprise, including the twelve people pointed out by Chu Ming and the leading opponents!

A soldier felt a chill behind him, "Just now William swore that George was not a believer of the evil god... but it turns out that both of them are!"

All the soldiers felt their scalps numb and ashamed in their hearts.

They were actually instigated by the believers of the evil god to question the hero who saved them.
