Chapter 352: Ring of Blood and Curse

Thanks to the starting point father [Pond Fish] for the 500 reward!

Thank you to the QQ reading father [Autumn, Sorrow] for the 200 reward!

…

The news that Nancy defeated the bandits and the pirate coalition soon spread throughout the Nord Province.

It was like a thunderbolt.

Many nobles had planned to laugh at the joke, but now their smiles froze on their faces.

The previous sarcastic remarks were also slapped back like a slap.

Xiaopi was one of them.

After receiving the news, he couldn't believe it at all. He read it over and over again, and finally threw the parchment on the table:

"How is this possible!?"

Just relying on a drained Xuefeng County, a 3rd-level magician Nancy - oh no, now we know she is a 4th-level.

But what about a 4th-level?

At most, add a 4th-level Viscount John, and his 2,000 troops.

The combat power of a total of one legion can defeat the aggressive bandits and pirates?

What a joke!

This must be a false news released by Nancy to reassure Raven.

"John, John, you are so old, and you lied with them, don't you feel guilty!?"

"Come on, send some people to Eagle City for me, I want to see what's going on!"

It can be said that Xiaopi's ability to train his subordinates is really good. In just 5 or 6 days, he received detailed information from the spies.

And his heart, which was hanging, finally died.

The news sent back said that not only Eagle City has been relieved, but also the reconstruction of Eagle Town and Shining Gold Town is in full swing.

Judging from the status of the local people, there was no particularly large loss at all, and not many people died.

The spies also heard many complaints from the local people-

Too many serfs were collected at once, squeezing out a lot of their job opportunities.

If you inquire more carefully, it will be even more terrible.

This time, the Griffith family alone accepted at least 60,000 serfs, which increased the population of the territory by almost two-thirds!

Not to mention, there are thousands of heavy armor weapons of various types.

Not only did they not lose much, but they seemed to have gained a lot!

"Damn it!"

The little skinner stood up and kicked the table to pieces. The ink bottle fell to the ground. The flowing ink stained the carpet, making him feel more and more unbalanced.

If I had known that Nancy was so capable, I should have tried to marry her home!

If it had been earlier, with my status as a viscount, how could I not compete with a baron like Raven! ?

"Raven, you wait for me, sooner or later, I will make you fall hard!"

...

Raven also received news from Eagle City.

The details in it made Raven, who was quite irritable recently, relax his spirit.

"Nancy, Nancy, I didn't expect you to have been promoted to level 4."

It should have happened more than half a year after I left.

Perhaps because of his self-esteem, Nancy has not announced the news, and wants to wait until Raven breaks through the fourth level.

"With such a wife, what else can a husband ask for?"

A smile spread across Raven's mouth, and then as the content of the letter unfolded in front of him, he couldn't restrain it anymore.

The harvest of people, armor and weapons is certainly gratifying, but the people need to digest, and the heavy armor on the horse thieves is generally of poor quality and needs to be re-melted and remade, which cannot be immediately converted into benefits.

What really makes Raven happy is the war horse.

Although there is horse breeding land in Nord Province, the production capacity is not high, otherwise even the two earl families of Slater and Fox can only maintain the scale of heavy cavalry between 1,000 and 1,500 people.

After this battle, although many horse thieves escaped and many war horses died in the battle, a large number of horses were left after all.

You know, a horse thief is basically equipped with two war horses.

Moreover, there are also a large number of pack horses.

Moreover, this time, apart from Viscount John, who is qualified to compete for the division of spoils, no, sharing the spoils, no one can compete with the Griffith family for the dominant position.

Viscount John was extremely generous and only asked for some heavy armor, completely giving up the share of horses.

Therefore, the number of horses obtained by the Griffith family is quite astonishing.

"12,200 war horses, 31,000 pack horses!"

This number is enough to arm all of Raven's troops into cavalry!

Of course, it takes time to forge armor, and cavalry is not as simple as infantry riding horses.

But if these animals are added to the front line, it means that the mobility of the entire army will be greatly improved.

In comparison, the increased food consumption is not a big price.

Well... Actually it is.

If these large animals are moved to the front line, at least 250,000 pounds of food will be consumed every day-much more than feeding so many troops now!

No wonder it is said that the cost of raising a cavalry is 10 times that of an infantryman. Now Raven has realized it.

Horses are the real money-eating beasts!

Fortunately, this batch of war horses will take at least a month to be transported, and a batch of food and grass will be transported along with it.

At least there is no need to worry now.

Raven focused his eyes on the ring that came with the letter.

"Interesting..."

The material of this ring is extremely unique. It looks moist like the soapstone I saw in my previous life, but it feels like metal.

The inscription "Don Quixote Griffith" inside is also quite ancient.

Raven sighed: "Unexpectedly, after going round and round, it came back to my hands."

Speaking of this ring, we have to talk about Donald.

That prodigal and cheap uncle, in order to break through the shackles of the blood curse, sold all the Griffith family's property, including this ring that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Griffith family.

As a family heirloom treasure, it can speed up the cultivation of bloody fighting spirit, and can even replace the materials used for breakthroughs before reaching the fifth level.

However, Xueyan made it into a prosthetic eye and put it into the eye socket, which is quite ingenious.

tuk tuk tuk

Raven knocked on the table three times, and soon Margaret came to the room.

But before Raven could ask any questions, Margaret left faster than when she came in, with an irrepressible tremor in her voice:

"Master! I really haven't had any bad intentions recently! Even that dark elf, I didn't do anything!"

"Let me go...please let me go!!"

"Oh oh oh, calm down, calm down." Raven was stunned for a moment: "I don't plan to do anything to you."

"Is there anything unusual about this ring?"

"The curse... is a curse!" Margaret's voice trembled, mixed with the sound of teeth clashing: "That is simply a materialized curse, Master! This is an ominous evil thing!"

After hearing this, Lei Wen used his Eyes of Truth to focus on the ring, but he still couldn't detect any clues.

But there was no possibility of Margaret deceiving him.

Weird!

"I understand, you go down first."

Raven said.

After receiving Raven's order, Margaret left as if running away without even having time to say goodbye.

"what is going on……"

Raven frowned and his thoughts began to diverge.

Is it true, as Margaret said, that only by touching this ring can the blood curse of the Griffith family be passed down from generation to generation?

But that's not right.

Although I have no memory of my parents in this life, from the simplest logical judgment, I can know that no matter which one of them is a descendant of the Griffith family, they are all distant branches.

Otherwise, we would not be reduced to throwing ourselves on the street.

Therefore, Raven had no chance to touch the ring, but the blood curse wrapped around him was genuine.

"Unless my ancestor wants to cut off his descendants, he won't leave behind a single harmful thing."

And it is very simple to find out the function of this thing——

Since it's a ring, just wear it.

Raven slowly put the ring on his index finger.

Originally, the ring was a bit wide, but the moment it landed on the root of the finger, it suddenly stuck tightly to Raven's skin!

The next moment, Raven's eyes were suddenly filled with scarlet color, and the power of the curse entangled in him was clearly visible.

The rich energy spread out on the knuckles, lighting up even the tiniest blood vessels in every part of Raven's body. The red light flashed, as if his entire body was burning!

It even resonated with the blood core of the True Ancestor that had been integrated into the magic pool!

Click, click, click...

The power originally contained in the body was guided and concentrated in a special way, flowing into Raven's belly, and then ignited a cluster of scarlet fire there.

"This is... the life seed of a Dou Qi user?"

Following the guidance of Raven's thoughts, a dark red light wrapped around his fingers.

"No, that's not right." Raven shook his head.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

Although the performance is similar, both in essence and function, it is completely different from bloody fighting spirit.

It's more like the embodiment of cursed power!

Putting away this power, Raven suddenly saw that the originally heavy ring gradually disappeared into his flesh and blood, leaving only a circle of dark red patterns in the shape of the base of the index finger of his right hand.

"The Ring of Blood and Curses."

In the dark, Lei Wen read out its name, and at the same time it felt a little familiar.

Although the patterns are different, this form is very similar to the tattoo on the wrist of the captured dark elf Enada.

"Maybe Ernada knows something."

Just as he was about to give the order to bring Ernada over, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in." Lei Wen straightened his body and said calmly.

A man in armor walked in.

He is tall, with thick and powerful bare knuckles, and a long donkey-like face—standard male characteristics of Eivor.

This person's name is "Gangdu", a second-level storm knight, and a member of Lancha's 1st Independent Legion.

"Sir!" Gangdu beat his chest with his hands and performed an extremely standard military salute: "Sir Lancha, please come and see me!"

Raven asked: "Where are the others? Why didn't they come by themselves?"

Gangdu said calmly: "There's something going on over there with the Independent Legion. Lord Lancha can't get away, so you need to go there in person."

"Oh, I know." Raven stood up and walked out: "Is it because of that?"

"Yes, the hearts of the entire Independent Legion are floating now, and some people even..." Gangdu sighed, watching Raven walk behind him, a cold light burst out in his eyes:

"A rebellion is going to start!!"

Without falling, his arm shook, and a dagger slipped out of his hand from the cuffs, wrapped with a blue storm, and pierced Levin's back brain!

With this distance and this speed, 10 of the 10 magicians can't respond.

But Ren is the eleventh.

At the moment when he turned around, he found that Levin turned his body one step earlier, and a pair of dark eyes flashed with blood.

At this time, there is no reason to stop!

"Go to death!"

Just a roar, the dagger in his hand stabbed to the throat like a real wind!

As a veteran who has been in a hundred battles, he has 6 changes in the follow -up. No matter how Lei Wen intercepted, he couldn't stop the death!

But Ren moved.

He clenched his fist tightly and suddenly wrapped a layer of dark red blood.

Under the blood light, there are scaled light patterns!

At the moment of this blood light, he just felt that his heart seemed to be caught by a big hand and stopped beating!

Isn't Ren a magician? What's the matter with this energy! Intersection

Can the magician still fight back! Intersection

Then he saw that Boxing welcomed the dagger without avoiding it.

Personal and flesh are also wrapped in fighting, and there is no doubt about it.

But the experience that has been accumulated for decades has collapsed at this moment.

The fighting gas on the dagger instantly scattered, and the blade of the steel texture curled like a soft mud.

Boxing wiped his fist without stagnation, and then printed it on his head fiercely!

Okm,

"ah--"

The screams collapsed from the throat, and the soul was pulled out at this moment.

That's not described.

I really saw my back, saw the red light revealed from behind my head, and then a tingling came.

His soul was torn into fragments by an invisible force!

"Say!" After retracting the fist that smashed on the face of Gang Du, Lei Wen looked at the rigid and asked: "What is going on, Lancha?"

However, it was not able to answer.

His lips trembled, his eyes turned, and his skin suddenly became as red as blood!

puff--

Blood was rushed out of the skin of Gangdu, but it was not liquid, but it turned into a large and small blood beads, and then crackled to the ground.

As if a glass ball.

Looking at Gangdu again, it has become a corpse that has been in the desert for hundreds of years!

"This is ... I did it?"

Ren looked at his fist.

He really wanted to try the power of this new energy, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel.

The power of curse is so powerful!

"When I die, will it be like this?"

After retracting the red light on the fist, the blood beads on the ground cracked one by one, and the blood flowed into the floor again.

"Adult, you're okay!" The dumplings heard the movement and rushed in from the door.

"This is……?"

"Take his body down." Leiwen was not ready to explain, "Then call me Lancha."

Seeing that Leiwen was unwilling to say, the dumplings were not more entangled and dragged the corpse of Gangdu.

About half an hour, Lancha came to Levin's tent.

Looking at the blood that penetrated into the land, his brows beating crazy, but he kneeling on one knee:

"Adults! I was blinded by all of them, and I sent him to invite you.

Levin is not surprised.

Since you dare to assassinate himself, then what he calls the rebellion is also true.

Silently, Lei Wen asked: "Is the scale of the rebellion large?"

"... headed by all, a total of 471 people." Langcha's expression was extremely ugly:

"At present, it has been controlled."

On the one hand, Lancha really felt that he had lost his job, and he couldn't even control his subordinates.

On the other hand, Lancha is also concerned about the future of those betrayers.

These people are veterans of his family, and according to Levin's previous style of acting, since they dare to betray, there is only one way to go in the future.

"... like this." Lei Wen nodded, stood up, walked to the camp, and looked at something from the window, leaving only a back to Lancha:

"Then take off their armor, cut off their thumb, and put people back."

"What?" Lancha didn't hear clearly, or he couldn't believe what he heard.

"It's not just them, you can ask your men." Lei Wen continued: "No matter who it is, you can leave together this time, but the premise is to cut off your thumb."

"I only give them this opportunity."

"If you rebellion next time, with you, the entire independent legion will not let me go."

Lancha was stunned, and then there was a hint of joy on his face:

"Yes, adult!"

"Thank you for your magnificent!"

Lei Wen laughed, with a bit of bitterness in the voice:

"Don't thank me, thank you, thank those guys."

Lancha heard that she sighed, and her expression became extremely complicated.

He knew that Levin was not saying that it was Gang Duo and the rebels, but another group of people, and Levin was watching those people now.

It was them that blocked the Eagle Army for two months and made them stop.

"... adult, tomorrow, I will persuade the surrender in person."

"With your good deed today, you will be able to succeed!"

Raven's voice was unremarkable:

"If you want to go, that's great, but..."

After a pause, Raven said:

"I hope it works."

...
