Chapter 208 The Temptation of the Golden Apple, Eating the Dragon's Heart
When Shuoyue left the library, he sent a message to Weber and Melvin through his familiar, inviting them to come to his house.
Even though the two knew that once Shuoyue released the news of the ‘Golden Apple’, the already precarious El-Melloi family would face another bloody storm, they still resolutely came to the appointment.
However, one came out of trust in Shuoyue, while the other came with the simple awareness of being happy to death.
"Thank you for your invitation. There is still some time before the sun sets, so let me get straight to the point." After meeting the two, Shuoyue went straight to the point:
"Through Melvin's professor, Weber's paper analysis, and the fact that I have read a lot of magic knowledge in the past few days, I finally have an idea of the magic I want to create. Next, I would like to ask you to give me your opinions."
"I accept." Melvin said without hesitation, "Watching a genius's creation is a rare experience. What's more, in addition to my wealth, the only valuable profession I have is the 'tuner'. Since you invited me, it means that your next magic will involve the ability to tune... Oh, oh, oh, this kind of thing, just thinking about it makes people excited."
"I have no reason to refuse, after all, I am also very curious about what kind of magic you will create." Although Weber looked reluctant, he still said it from the heart.
"Thank you both." Shuoyue spread his hands, and different magic particles appeared in his hands, "Well, let's get started."
Shuoyue's mansion is located in the remote border of the El-Melloi family's territory. It is vast and sparsely populated, and is most suitable for magicians who like solitude to live in.
But tonight, the exclamations of the two men sounded one after another, breaking the usual silence.
"The Tuner is a practitioner who specializes in tuning magic seals, and is a doctor who suppresses rejection reactions caused by seal transplants... You actually want to use this rare ability to kill? Heresy, absolute heresy! Hahaha, it's really interesting!"
"Don't tell me about the use of displacement and projection, you are almost touching the edge of the first magic! This is impossible! I heard Rider talk about your inherent barrier, and it has no... what? Concept level? But, damn, you annoying geniuses!"
"Instrument? I'm a violin? Eh? You can actually play the piano? Then it's just right for us to play a piece tonight... unlucky? Why? Is it a taboo in some magic field for these two instruments to play together? Your Lie in April? What is that?"
...
"You! Say! What!!"
Weber's voice was almost screaming, as if he had returned to the beginning of the Fourth Holy Grail War. He widened his eyes and pressed Shuoyue's shoulders tightly. :
"You plan to eat the dragon heart tonight? Dragon heart! Is that what I was thinking of? The heart of a high-ranking fantasy dragon? Wait, wait, wait... Let's not talk about how you told us this secret so carelessly. Where did you get this thing from? There shouldn't be any dragons in this world anymore!"
"Oh, don't you know?" The boy's expression was innocent. "Saber is the red dragon of Britain?"
"Don't lie to me. Servants are all familiars made of magic power. It's a miracle that the golden apple in Archer's treasury can be brought out. Saber only has a spirit core in her body, where does the dragon heart come from?!" Sensing Melvin's eyes, Weber's hands froze slightly, and then he immediately let go of Shuoyue, "Sorry, I'm presumptuous."
No matter how close the relationship is, you can't pry into the secrets of other magicians at will. Killing relatives and friends for the sake of keeping secrets is really normal among magicians.
"It's okay. I know how precious such things are. That's why I never said it." Shuoyue also naturally skipped this topic, "But now, I need your help."
Staring at the two people with different expressions, Shuoyue slowly repeated it.
"I need your help, Weber, Melvin."
The beautiful boy with red face, passively triggered.
Judgment of great success!
Under Shuoyue's clear eyes, the greed in Weber and Melvin's hearts suddenly melted away. They looked at each other and laughed helplessly.
"I really lost to you. You actually took out such a treasure in front of two of us weak people."
"Ah, who made me owe you a favor? Tell me, what are you going to do."
A sincere smile flashed across Shuoyue's face. With the swaying of the shadow behind him, he returned to his casual look:
"To perform this kind of compound magic comparable to forbidden spells, I need a handy 'weapon', yes, for example, one bathed in dragon blood..."
The heart of the red dragon shines brightly, and the dusk light of the world is about to end.
Night falls.
Standing in the center of the countless magic circles in the courtyard, the white-haired and golden-eyed boy sat on various materials that were delivered in an expedited manner, and even on an ancient tree, watching his two friends leave.
"Thank you very much. By the way, the potion made from dragon blood can also strengthen the body... Well, let's not talk about this for now. It will be dangerous if we delay any longer."
As he said this, he brought the beating red dragon heart to his mouth.
"I'm starting~"
Puff.
The sticky plasma gushed out, carrying a thick dragon factor, and began to transform the boy's body.
At the same time, countless magicians specialized in combat began to approach the house where the lord lived in groups.
————
As early as during the day, the information about the "new head of the El-Melloi family has the golden apple" spread rapidly as if it had wings.
Although magicians claim to be separated from humans, the "evil" of primates cannot be overcome by saying so.
For example, greed.
The treasure of the Age of Gods, the object of the three goddesses who are praised by countless myths, and at the same time, it is also the fruit leading to "perfection" - this is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for modern magicians whose great source has faded.
Although the Hydra larva specimen is precious, it will only be killed by poison if it is not used. However, the golden apple is different. Even if it is eaten directly, it can bring great benefits to oneself - it is the most precious resource in the field of magic!
Therefore, under the protection of the night, countless magicians with ulterior motives gathered and headed towards the Lord's House.
Even the Lord (Lord) who is above ten thousand people has no deterrent power in front of greed.
Not to mention the already shaky El-Melloi family?
"Let me see, the second-level lecturer of the Spiritual Summoning Department, the combat-specialized puppet of Baru Yereta, the famous mercenary, is actually the black glove under the Law and Politics Department... Wow, even my family, Tranberio, has sent people here, this is incredible..."
At this time, Weber and Melvin had already withdrawn from the Shuoyue mansion, and were watching all this from a distance. Melvin kept changing the direction of the long-sighted magic, searching for the assassins with ill intentions, and he kept clicking his tongue.
"With so many magicians, it seems that Shuoyue will be busy. Hey, Weber, why don't you feel worried at all?"
"That's because you don't know how powerful he is." El-Melloi II took a nap against the wall, and said lightly without opening his eyes, "These are just second-rate among second-rate, just a simple test. If Shuoyue shows signs of fatigue, the real main force will rush in like hyenas."
"But it is precisely because of this that the guy can slaughter them wantonly." The sickly tuner smiled, "If the main forces of the lords are killed, I am afraid that El-Melloi will not only fail to establish his authority, but will fall into the dilemma of being isolated and helpless."
"Tsk, that's why I hate boring political games." Weber sneered and said impatiently:
"These idiots may not realize that time is not on their side-"
"Once Shuoyue ends the ceremony, what awaits them will be ruthless death."
As he spoke, someone had already broken through the barrier set up casually, stretched out his hand to push open the door of Shuoyue, and broke into the courtyard.
Silver moonlight poured down, and the boy sat on a pile of materials that exuded a high level of mystery, with a thick layer of blood scabs on his body.
He opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of everyone was a golden vertical pupil like a giant dragon.
