Chapter 293 The Power of Alice
Charlie had been paying attention to the sounds around him. He couldn't let Xia Shou take the opportunity to escape.
But he didn't dare to open his eyes, because he was also afraid of Alice's power.
After an unknown amount of time, Charlie suddenly heard a voice.
"Open your eyes."
Charlie opened his eyes, and a smile froze on the corner of his mouth. The table in front of him was full of nobles' heads.
Kallen, Lajiko, Isa, Longdiel...
Some of them were viscounts, some were earls, and there was even a duke! ! !
"George..."
Charles I narrowed his eyes and stared at the head of his favorite minister in disbelief.
Charlie knew the power of the Duke-level blood clan very well. The strong physique, the speed of movement that could not be tracked by the naked eye, the unparalleled strength and the extraordinary healing ability, and this was not to mention the unique blood skills of each blood clan.
Charlie asked himself that he could not kill so many ministers in such a short time.
In an instant, Charlie's fear of Xia Shou reached its peak. He looked at the foreigner in front of him as if he was looking at a devil.
"Go out and have a look." Xia Shou said coldly.
Charles didn't care about maintaining his king's demeanor and ran out like a fly.
Then he saw several headless corpses in the Colosseum, walking around randomly, their bodies full of silver swords were hissing, and their bodies were full of traces of burns from holy water.
Only George, the Duke, had grown his lost head back.
George stood by the fence as if nothing had happened, watching the fight below, but the bloody collar proved that his head had just been chopped off.
"George!" Charles I shouted and strode forward.
Duke George immediately turned to face his king and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty."
"What just happened?" Charles I asked.
George was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pointed at the gladiatorial maze, saying: "It's nothing special, but that human is indeed a bit capable. He killed with a little trick-"
"No! I'm not talking about that!" Charlie pinched George's neck, pointed at the nobles who were not able to grow heads and asked sternly, "I'm talking about them! Can't you see it?"
George looked at the headless bodies that were running around in the crowd in confusion, and looked at Charlie in confusion. When he saw the expression on Charlie's face that should be called panic and fear, George's heart seemed to be suddenly strangled by an invisible hand.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you mean?" George said blankly.
Charlie seemed to have noticed something, and he continued to ask: "Where are their heads!"
"I don't know."
"Why are their heads gone!" Charlie pinched George's neck with his nails, and blood flowed out from his fingers.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, their heads are gone, why do you ask that?" George replied in a trembling voice, as if he had angered the tyrannical emperor.
To him, Charles I's question was like "Why does the sun rise from the east?" and "Why does water flow to the lower place?" This kind of question that was asked knowingly seemed to imply the other party's intention, but as the Duke of Buckingham, he could not understand it this time.
"Don't ask, it's useless." Xia Shou came behind Charles I.
Behind Xia Shou, Su Weiyu pulled out the silver swords from the vampires with an expressionless face, and then replaced the heads on the broken necks.
Xia Shou was actually very surprised that Su Weiyu could chop off the heads of these earls so easily, and the earls did not seem to be automatically reborn like the dukes after their heads were chopped off. Does this mean that if Su Weiyu assassinated the earls, the success rate would be 100%?
This topic can be discussed in detail with Su Weiyu later, but the most important thing now is to let Charles I understand his identity and position.
Su Weiyu's physique naturally matches the characteristics of Cangyue. Xia Shou remembered that the prophet Sha Luo once mistook Alice for Cangyue's maid. The power of disguising Su Weiyu as Alice was naturally seamless, especially when the deceived person was still a human.
Charlie suddenly looked up at Xia Shou, and a cruel and tyrannical expression appeared on his face for a moment, but it only stayed still for a moment, and the distorted face stretched out.
"Hahaha... I understand, then... let's go back and continue?" Charlie smiled at Xia Shou.
Xia Shou looked at the normal smiling face and felt very emotional.
He remembered a sentence: Some dangerous lunatics look crazy, but when you can control him at will, they become more normal than normal people.
Charlie is a good example. This crazy king suddenly seemed to be able to communicate normally, even though he was so cruel and tyrannical by nature.
The two came to Charlie's study. Charlie was very considerate and asked someone to bring the food for humans. Then he sat down in the main seat. He deliberately didn't lean his back on the chair, but put his arms on the table. He looked very cramped and solemn, as if trying to erase his natural identity as the owner of the study.
Although Xia Shou could still see the madness and tyranny in the other's eyes, when he calmed down, it became a completely controllable trait.
"How do they plan to seal Alice?" Xia Shou tore off a roasted chicken leg and handed it to Charlie across the table.
Charlie was stunned by Xia Shou's move, and stretched out his hand to take it with a forced smile.
"Uh... soul-imprisoning bird cage, I wonder if you have heard of soul-imprisoning bird cage?" Charlie whispered.
Xia Shou tore off another chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth: "Tell me more."
"That is a relic that even the named person can be imprisoned."
Xia Shou thought for a while and felt that the other party was referring to the projection of the named person. After all, the named person is an existence that was led by gods to the sea of origin. If there is really a way to create a relic that imprisons the deity, then human beings in this world will not be able to do so. Will be so afraid of those who sign.
But Charlie specifically mentioned this point, which made Xia Shou feel that Alice's origin was quite unusual. Even if she was not a named person, she was definitely a level above ordinary extraordinary people, enough to be treated like a named person. .
Xia Shou didn't know for a moment whether he should be shocked by Alice's life experience or by the powerful relic. He then asked indifferently: "Do they want to use this against Alice?"
Charlie nodded, and then said: "The most important thing is the one under the care of the Red Thorn family...the old man who cut the ribs."
Xia Shou's expression moved slightly, and he nodded slightly: "Go on."
"Legend has it that after the Blood God killed the Beast King, in order to weaken the power of the Beast King's corpse, he asked a tailor to make a beast cage using the opponent's ribs.
In the end, the beast cage was promoted to a god and gained the authority to imprison everything. The corpse of the beast king also gained the concept of imprisoning everything. This is the key ingredient of the bird cage for imprisoning souls.
And the old man who cut the ribs can lead people to the tomb of the Beast King. "
Xia Shou felt as if there were some clues that he was slowly responding to.
"So the royal family wants to release the old ribcutter who was imprisoned by Red Thorn."
"They must do it!" Charlie's eyes were bright and his words were firm.
Xia Shou frowned and thought about the history he had learned. In history, it was the unknown ordinary human being who released Old Man Rib Shear. Does this really have anything to do with the royal family?
Or is it that the royal family was behind the incident, but it was not recorded in the real history?
