Beatrice had heard many legends before.
It was about the Titan Empire in ancient times, the legends of giants and serpents, the angels in heaven, and the glory of the Lord. There were also stories of warriors defeating evil dragons and saving princesses. Of course, there were also battles between knights and wizards and witches that only existed in fairy tales.
Now, seeing Wu Ming's actions, she was so scared that her face turned pale. She almost associated him with a wizard.
She had experienced many terrifying things in the past, but none of them could compare to the strangeness she was experiencing right now.
After Wu Ming mixed some potions and extracted some blood, he started to sprinkle some powder on Alfreid's wound.
Then, Alfreid's corpse began to melt in a strange manner.
First, it was the skin, then the muscles, then the white bones … Everything was like a strange magic, causing a person to slowly disappear.
After the corpse was completely dissolved, Wu Ming got a basin of yellow pus.
"Next, I need to remove the impurities and purify it …"
This was just a simple technique. Precipitation and layering could be done with simple physics knowledge.
He was so immersed in his experiment that he almost forgot that Beatrice was beside him.
The morning sun was bright.
The next morning, Wu Ming looked at the pint of blue liquid in front of him and said nothing.
"As expected … the blood of Thale the Conqueror is mixed with the blood of high-level creatures …"
He sprinkled a handful of white powder and looked at Beatrice, who had been standing stiffly all night. "Tell me … what did you see?"
Wu Ming pointed at the surface of the blue liquid and asked solemnly.
"I saw it …"
Beatrice's eyes were also blue. She stared at the blue container and murmured in a low voice, "Dragon! I saw a huge blue dragon flying in the sky! "
"As expected … the blood of the Blue Dragon?"
Wu Ming immediately confirmed the origin of all blue-blood nobles and Thale the Conqueror's bloodline. "Dragon?!"
Dragons were terrifying creatures in any world. They could mate with almost any race and give birth to half-bloods and mixed-bloods.
Also, powerful energy would form radiation next to their residence and create a group of servants.
This kind of influence was naturally terrifying.
'Thale's bloodline has been passed down for so long, yet it still has such power. Either this blue dragon is shockingly powerful, or Thale himself made a breakthrough …'
Wu Ming looked at the blue blood in front of him and shook his head with a smile, "If this blue blood were to be purified a few more times, it should be able to reach the standard of three generations of Thale's direct descendants … Unfortunately …"
Needless to say, this bit of bloodline power was nothing to him.
Even after being purified, it was still the same.
"I can increase Beatrice's bloodline … Or I can make Knight's Holy Oil. If I want to develop my strength in the future, I can use it …"
"No matter what, this trash still has some use!"
Wu Ming put the blue blood into a black jar and sealed the opening with wax oil. Then he looked at Beatrice next to him. "Are you scared?"
"Ah?"
Beatrice was shocked and immediately fell to the ground. She felt that her hands and feet were no longer her own.
"You've been standing all night, and the blood in your hands and feet is stiff. Rest for a while, and then you'll be fine …"
Wu Ming calmly packed everything up, not leaving any traces. After all, if others, or even the church, found this place, he could easily be treated as a heretic or something else bad.
"After breakfast, you'll follow me into the city and prepare to go to my fief!"
He added.
"Fief?"
As a noble daughter, Beatrice was very sensitive to this. "Master, you've become a knight!"
"That's right! Although I don't know which manor will be given to me, it can't escape the legacy of the Death Knight from the last war … "
Wu Ming sighed. "I'm afraid there will be some trouble when the time comes."
He washed his hands and ate the bread and roasted meat with Beatrice yesterday.
During this time, Wu Ming did not idle. Instead, he took out another piece of Alfreid's legacy, the sheepskin scroll shrouded in extraordinary light, and carefully studied it.
Beatrice curiously poked her little head over, but she was disappointed to see that there was only a map on the sheepskin scroll. Perhaps to the mercenary groups, such a detailed map was priceless, but to the nobles, its value was only average.
"The spiritual light on it is not so simple …"
Wu Ming's fingers rubbed the surface of the thick sheepskin, feeling a deeper secret. He could not help but murmur, "Magic lock? Interesting? "
He released his perception, and knew that a small concealment was applied to this scroll. Without the key, ordinary people could only see this image.
"It's just a coincidence that I have this key!"
Wu Ming took out a table knife. "Cut your finger and smear the blood on it!"
"Yes! Master! "
Beatrice's little hand trembled, but she still obeyed. The red agate-like blood fell on the scroll and melted.
"Ah …"
Beatrice exclaimed, looking at the place where her blood smeared. Lines of words began to appear.
In the blank space of the original map, dark brown letters appeared, as well as a pentagram insignia.
Pentagram!
The status of this insignia in the Western world was similar to that of the Eight Trigrams in Wu Ming's previous life. They both represented mystery and some kind of high-level magic array.
"As expected … the key to opening the scroll is still blue blood!"
Wu Ming already had a deep understanding of this group of nobles' pursuit of blue blood. "Pentagram … the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, together with human spiritual energy, represents a powerful magic array and power …"
He first carefully looked at the complex and exquisite pentagram magic array, then turned to look at the words.
"In the year of flowers and green leaves, after the third harvest month, a red ominous star will cut through the sky, and the ancient sleeping giant snake will awaken …"
Wu Ming carefully read the words on the scroll. "It seems to be the same prophecy, but a little more accurate."
He continued reading. "Descendants who inherit the blue blood … abide by the ancient five kings' oath and fight against the giant snake of destruction. The power of the people is with you!"
The original map also changed at this time. Some lines were drawn again, transforming into the appearance of a treasure map. There was a blood-red dagger symbol somewhere.
"Looks like it's some hidden treasure. Maybe there's some kind of oath. It's worth exploring …"
Wu Ming guessed that this treasure was not small. Otherwise, it would have been dug out by Alfreid long ago.
Of course, he did not rule out the possibility that the inheritance was broken, and he did not know how to open this scroll.
"It's a good harvest …"
Wu Ming pulled Beatrice. "Let's go to the count's castle …"
"Master!"
At this time, Beatrice suddenly spoke. "Can you teach me magic?"
"Huh? Do you think I'm a wizard? "
Wu Ming laughed involuntarily. He suddenly felt that in the little girl's eyes, his actions might really be no different from those evil wizards. "You want the power of magic to take revenge? Not a bad idea! "
With Beatrice's physical strength and her own flaws, it was very difficult to become a knight.
Perhaps the only thing she could rely on was the power of magic.
"Unfortunately … I'm not a wizard like the legends, and I don't have the power of magic …"
Wu Ming said lightly. He was not surprised to see the disappointment in Beatrice's eyes. He shook his head with a smile and suddenly changed the topic. "But I can train you and stimulate the original power of your blue blood … I have to remind you that this is completely different from a knight's baptism. It's also the original power of the blue blood. It's really hard to say what it will become in the future. Do you want to take this risk?"
"I do! Master! "
Beatrice agreed almost without hesitation.
…
Howl Castle.
"Ah … My dear William, I've heard about your 'battle' yesterday. It's really unbelievable!"
Baron Terry immediately surrounded Wu Ming as soon as he saw him. The look of worship on his face was like that of a devout believer seeing a god descend.
"You flatter me …"
Wu Ming was amused in his heart. No wonder the expressions of the maids and the noble ladies who had just passed by were so subtle, especially the men who felt inferior and jealous, which made him very speechless.
"You have to teach me the techniques in this area!"
Baron Terry completely forgot about his wife and children. The two of them joked for a while before they got down to business. "What's wrong? William, have you thought about your family name? "
In this world, commoners rarely had surnames. The origin of a surname represented the inheritance of blood. It was proof that one was a noble, or at least used to be a noble.
His voice had a rare trace of apprehension. He was afraid that William would choose his family's surname.
Naturally, Wu Ming did not know that Baron Terry had seen that he could use the Dragon's Heart. He had already thought about how to avoid a family scandal.
"I'm going to choose a new one. What do you think of 'Wallace'?"
"Very good! Very good! "
In fact, as long as it was not his family's name, everything was fine.
Baron Terry was relieved. "It seems that you've already thought about your surname and emblem."
"Yes, I'm going to use an olive branch and a tulip as the emblem, and a cross sword in the middle!"
Wu Ming nodded in acknowledgment.
"In that case, I'll tell you another piece of news!"
Baron Terry had a relaxed smile on his face. "Your territory has been confirmed. It's under the Tucker Mountains. Lucky fellow …"
For some reason, Wu Ming felt that his smile contained a lot of emotions, even a trace of jealousy.
