Lunze seemed to have some objections to participating in the Red Banquet and competing for the royal blood brew.
"Ordinary blood brew can quickly degenerate a human body and turn them into a Blood Descendant.
Once such royal blood brew is drunk, the essence of a human will change, right? "
Han Dong explained simply, "Blood brew is essentially the blood of the old king … But since we humans can use the chaotic equipment outside the city, why can't we use such blood?
Captain Lucius's specialization is [Blood]. If we get such blood, we will be able to greatly increase our strength and even undergo fundamental changes.
You don't have to consume it on the spot. You can try to bring it back to the Holy City and have the Supreme Holy See purify the part of the blood brew outside the city. "
"Hmm … It's indeed good stuff." Lucius nodded.
Since the Blood Team had said so, Lunze had nothing to refute.
"At that time, there will be many teams participating in the Red Banquet.
The six barons under Count's command will also form a team and participate.
This team of six Mantis Demons was extremely powerful. Moreover, they had definitely experienced the [Red Banquet] before and had a certain amount of experience.
They will be the most difficult team to deal with at the Red Banquet.
Everyone needs to rest well in the last day and a half.
I've personally confirmed with Count about our safety. Once the Red Banquet is over, we can safely return to the Holy City … There will even be Blood Descendants escorting us back to Gayne Forest. "
"Hmm."
"Also, I've found the missing knight team.
They are not dead or captured by Count as pets or slaves. They have abandoned themselves and cut off contact with the Holy City.
I've personally verified that one of the knights has blood brew in his body. When the time comes, he will also participate in the Red Banquet as a team. "
"Traitor …"
A murderous intent flashed in Lucius's eyes.
Lucius's [Blood Massacre] did not seem very 'righteous'.
Some of his actions and principles were biased towards himself or the team … But Lucius's fundamental position was definitely to rely on the Holy City. In his eyes, traitors were not allowed to exist.
"If I can find out more information in two days, I'll inform everyone immediately."
…
Everyone returned to their rooms one after another.
Lucius, who was the last to leave, did not leave Han Dong's room.
This was because Han Dong had secretly sent him a voice transmission, asking him to stay for a while. The two of them had some private matters to discuss.
"Captain Lucius … Why do you have a little of the Old King's aura in your body?"
Han Dong directly made his words clear. After all, this was related to the subsequent "Red Banquet".
"Sure enough, you can feel it?"
"At first, I almost treated Captain Lucius as an existence similar to me, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that's not the case … It's just that although the blood flowing in your body is mixed with the old king's aura, it has nothing to do with blood wine.
Captain, you are also human in all aspects, only the quality of your blood is different. "
Due to the uniqueness of the current situation,
Or perhaps it was because of Han Dong's special identity.
Lucius didn't deliberately hide anything and chose to confess some of his origins.
"The reason why I have the aura of the old Scarlet King in my body is because I inherited it from my father, Knight Maxwell, the famous Blood Warrior and the former first captain of the Lionheart Knights.
Once, during an expedition, he encountered an incident with the old king and returned in defeat.
At least 34 people in the expeditionary army died in the battle, and my father became one of the survivors who had to bear a great deal of mental pressure.
At the same time, he was also infected with the scarlet curse from the old king's body in that battle.
When he returned to the city, he was removed from his position as captain due to mental problems. In a sense, he was even removed from the Knights and only did some backup work.
Not long after, I was born. "
"I'm sorry …"
"Father passed the curse on to me, and it was the only gift he gave me.
It's fine. Thank you, Junior, for creating such a good opportunity for me.
My special physique allows me to withstand the corrosion of the blood wine on the body and the corruption of the soul … This Red Banquet will be a great opportunity for me to get close to the old king.
Originally, I only planned to take some of the baron's blood back, but now I have a better opportunity. "
After saying that.
Lucius actually reached out his hand and shook Han Dong's.
To a certain extent, this action meant that he fully acknowledged and thanked this special junior for his assistance. He also wanted to let bygones be bygones.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you at the Red Banquet."
"There's one more thing I hope you don't misunderstand … I believe in Mr. Black And White, not you."
"Haha …" Han Dong laughed awkwardly.
Indeed, Han Dong, who had cheated others several times in a row, was not worthy of trust.
Fortunately, Lucius had a necessary need for the royal blood wine. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to stand on the same side as Han Dong on this matter.
After Lucius left, Han Dong stood alone by the bedroom window and stared at the manor shrouded in darkness.
"I didn't expect Lucius's special nature to originate from the scarlet curse on his father … However, as long as this curse is related to the old king, then there's no problem.
I must let Captain Lucius win the final victory and obtain the royal blood wine.
This way, my plan can be carried out perfectly … The odds of winning aren't too high, so I hope I can increase my bargaining chip. "
…
In the remaining one and a half days.
Han Dong often had secret communications with his personal maid.
He had obtained information about the other teams participating in the Red Banquet in advance.
There were exactly ten teams that received invitations to the Scarlet Mountain Villa. In addition to Count's baron team, there were eleven teams participating in the banquet.
What made Han Dong feel a little strange was that the invited teams varied in strength.
It seemed that the death match corresponding to the banquet did not place too much emphasis on strength … The specific rules would only be announced by Count himself when the banquet began.
Moreover, at such a banquet, the people who were about to break their seeds could also find a target that matched their attributes.
Han Dong seemed to have his own goals and plans.
Early in the morning.
The maid pushed a cart to deliver a sumptuous breakfast to Han Dong and the others. She also attached a "Laughing Seal" to each of their plates. With this seal, they would be able to participate in the Red Banquet tonight.
"Today is an important day for the Red Banquet. The entire manor is sealed off, and the interior of the mansion is also under full lockdown.
Please stay in the bedroom and don't walk around. If there is anything, just look for me directly.
I will personally lead you to the main hall area where the Red Banquet will be held at 8 o 'clock in the evening. Please wait patiently. "
After saying these things, the maid deliberately stayed in Han Dong's room.
This situation was seen by the other members of the team.
But Han Dong naturally wouldn't do anything. It was just that the maid brought him more information.
The maid went into Han Dong's room and stayed there until it was late at night.
The maid with a ruddy face tidied up her clothes and walked out of Han Dong's room. She led everyone to the main hall where the Red Banquet was held on time.
Han Dong didn't do anything. He just explained to the maid, Julia, that he had applied to the Count and obtained Julia's ownership. After that, Julia could go directly to Han Dong's villa to do chores.
As the master of a manor, it was natural for him to have a maid to serve him.
