"That was fifty years ago."
Vale started off with a reminiscing tone. Judging from his tone, Kael thought that this would be a long, emotional story with ups and downs.
But in reality, this story only happened for a short period of time, only a few months. Even if Wa Yi described all the details, he would have finished the story very quickly.
To put it bluntly, this was a story of a liar and a fool.
The liar was Yuna, and the fool was Dorcas … Of course, there was also a bystander, Vale.
At that time, Dorcas had discovered an ancient laboratory through his friend's information and his own conjectures. According to the information, this laboratory had been left behind by an alchemist.
Generally speaking, laboratories left behind by alchemists were the most valuable of all, and were also the first choice for wandering Magi when they went on an adventure.
After receiving this information, Dorcas immediately invited Vale to explore with him. But when they arrived, they discovered that the so-called owner of the laboratory, the alchemist, was actually just an apprentice alchemist. Moreover, he was an apprentice alchemist who studied aromatherapy, a branch of Potioneering.
Although they were a little disappointed, they still had some expectations. After searching for a while, they really did find a secret room. However, this secret room was filled with a strange fragrance. Wind could not disperse it, and water could not clear it. It was pervasive, and even fully armed people would be affected by it.
Once affected by the fragrance, they would fall into a deep sleep.
In order to solve this mystery, they found a female apprentice who claimed to be knowledgeable in aromatherapy. This person was Yuna.
After traveling with Yuna, they returned to the ruins. After arriving at the ruins, Yuna said innocently that she was only knowledgeable in the aromatherapy of mortals. This was no longer in the scope of her research.
Vale and Dorcas were not stupid, and immediately understood that Yuna had only joined because she wanted to know where the ruins were. Yuna had a secret wind technique, and her ability to escape was very strong. Even if she was surrounded, she could still escape. Then, she would find someone to steal the treasures from the ruins.
However, even though he knew what Yuna was thinking, as the team leader, Dorcas still forgave her. He even let Yuna join the team, and they would explore together and share the profits.
The reason why Dorcas did this was because he was still very naive at the time. Influenced by his mother, he was very tolerant and respectful of women. He had even told Wai that no matter what a woman did to him, he would never lay a hand on a woman.
Then, Yuna discovered this' gentlemanly 'trait of Dorcas, and began a series of actions that left Vale speechless.
In just a few short months of traveling together, he had already swindled half of Dox's wealth into his hands.
But Dorcas still maintained his composure.
Later, they found a way to crack the incense array outside the ruins and found a fragrant box inside. According to the details, it should be the alchemy apprentice's manuscript.
Yuna immediately expressed that she needed it, but Dorcas wanted to find someone to decipher the fragrance before opening the box and writing a book for each of them.
Yuna had agreed at the time, but what happened next … was unexpected.
They were surrounded by a group of people who were actually Yuna's companions. From the very beginning, Yuna had companions. Yuna had followed them because she was waiting for the ruins to be opened. Then, she would call for her companions to intercept them.
At that time, Wa Yi's battle instincts were very strong. After discovering that he was surrounded, he immediately judged the situation and summoned the Prison of Earth to imprison Yuna.
But Yuna's companions didn't seem to care about Yuna's life at all. They even attacked Yuna.
Seeing that Yuna was about to be killed by his companions, Dorcas, at the cost of being seriously injured, blocked the attack for her. He even released Yuna from the prison.
But Yuna didn't show any gratitude to Dorcas. She stabbed him from behind and took the box away.
Then, she said to the dying Dorcas, "Remember the lesson I taught you today. Women are like men. They are not to be trusted."
Yuna and her companions left, accompanied by mocking laughter.
As for Wa Yi, those people didn't dare to target him. Yuna had probably secretly told them that Wa Yi was from the Noah Clan. Thus, the only one who was truly injured was Dorcas.
Perhaps the reason Dorcas hadn't been killed was because of Wa Yi.
"In the end, I brought Dorcas to the Magus Fair and found someone to save him." At this point, the story was basically over. What happened next could probably be guessed.
Karel's expression was sorrowful. "So Lord Scarlet Blade had such a past."
Wa Yi nodded, and said with a sigh, "Actually, thinking back, I don't really hate Yuna. At least Yuna taught Dorcas a lesson. From that day on, Dorcas would still act like a gentleman sometimes, but when it came to matters of personal interest, he was no longer as old-fashioned as before. "
Angor thought to himself, I can see that … If he was still a gentleman, he wouldn't have ambushed the woman like that.
"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect that wretched woman to have met Yuna before, and even know about Dorcas' past from her." Vale stroked his chin, feeling that this was a little unbelievable.
"What's so coincidental about that? There are only a few topics that the witches love to talk about at tea parties, and 'male' topics are always in the top ten. "It was the Dark Earl who spoke. He seemed to be a little disdainful when mentioning this topic.
"You went to a tea party too, mister?" Karel was surprised.
The Dark Earl's nostrils flared, but he quickly recovered. "I didn't, but there are many women among the Noah's descendants."
Kael nodded in understanding. Noah's descendants basically had one of the Black Earl's parts. Although it was a little strange for them to follow their own descendants to the tea party, it was understandable.
Angor, on the other hand, sensed the sudden change in the Dark Earl's mood and raised an eyebrow.
The Dark Earl didn't need to mention it because he didn't go there himself.
Also, men were forbidden in the tea party. There was only one way for a man to join the party.
Angor thought to himself, I think I just found out a big secret …
Black Earl didn't want to talk about it too much. "Many witches like to talk about men during a tea party. So, if the bitch met Yuna, it would be normal for them to talk about it at the tea party. "
Black Earl seemed to be trying to distract Angor. "A new tea party is about to begin. At that time, you, without a doubt, will definitely become the focus of their attention. If some witches with ulterior motives drag you into a storm of gossip, you're going to have a hard time. "
Angor didn't think much of it. The main venue of the tea party was the dream wasteland. If anyone dared to cause trouble for him, he would kill them.
"I don't think so. I don't know many wizards, and even fewer witches. I don't know many witches."
"That's true. But you're going to become the center of attention. Let's see what happens in the end. "
"However, speaking of which, you can ask your mentor about this." The Dark Earl's tone changed. "He's known as a dark wizard who doesn't show mercy to witches. But surprisingly, he's quite popular in the tea party. I don't know how he did it. I think he secretly asked Lady Mirror and Ivanasha to influence the public opinion. "
As long as Lady Mirror participated in the tea party, she would be a bigshot. Ivanasha was also a witch who lived in the City of Truth from Brute Cavern. She was also one of the top witches in the city.
Angor didn't say anything because he noticed that the Dark Earl's tone sounded a little sour.
Perhaps the Dark Earl didn't have a good reputation in the tea party.
It made sense. Even if the tea party wasn't here, the Dark Earl's reputation was still bad. If Angor didn't ask Mister Rein beforehand, he would also consider the Dark Earl as a pervert.
Although the filter hadn't been completely removed …
…
While they were chatting about irrelevant topics, the situation on the battlefield was changing very quickly.
When Yuna was mentioned, Dorcas lost his focus for a split second.
It was because of this momentary lapse in concentration that Dorcas was sent flying by the evil woman's bandages, crashing into the ground.
However, Dorcas didn't suffer too much damage due to his sturdy body. He quickly turned around and summoned the phantom of a fat worm from his back.
As soon as the phantom appeared, a large number of thorns shot out from the worm's back and aimed at the woman.
The bandage on the woman's body acted like countless tentacles and blocked the incoming thorns.
However, what the vile woman did not expect was that the second wave of sword thrusts released by Dorcas was even more numerous and denser than she had imagined.
They were as dense as a black swarm of bees.
While dealing with the incoming thorns, the woman glanced at the ground from the corner of her eyes. Dorcas, who was still lying on the ground, had his spine protruded out from under his skin. A large number of thorns covered in blood were growing on his spine.
Obviously, Dorcas had activated his bloodline!
Swordback Sandworm!
The Swordback Sandworm Bloodline's greatest and most outstanding trait, other than the bloodline bonuses it already had, was that the spikes on its back could grow without limit.
As long as there was enough energy and blood essence, the number of thorns could reach a terrifying number.
Bloodline Wizards, on the other hand, began to learn how to replenish their blood essence when they were still apprentices. Plus, a formal wizard's mana whirlpool could absorb endless energy. As long as one controlled the number of thorns generated at a time, they could achieve a permanent growth without any burden.
Thorns were a great talent, but it required a great amount of spirit power and a certain level of talent in swordsmanship.
Dorcas was called "Red Sword" because of his incredible swordsmanship. Together with the Swordback Sandworm, the benefits were greater than one plus one.
Dorcas was probably the only person who could match the bloodline of the Swordback Sandworm so well.
Facing the endless waves of thorns, the woman's bandage had its limits. The thorns broke through the encirclement and nailed into the woman's body. Some even went through her body.
She screamed in pain and blood splattered everywhere.
The woman also fell from the sky, dragging her long hair behind her.
Kael looked excited to see this. Wai didn't say anything, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes either.
However, Angor and Black Earl didn't show any emotion.
Black Earl had always been like this.
Angor, on the other hand, noticed that something was wrong. The woman's condition was horrible, but Gray Merchant and the others didn't show any emotion.
Something was very wrong.
He kept reading with a cautious mind.
As expected, the woman fell to the ground, but after her scream, she began to laugh sinisterly. She tried to hold back her laughter at first, but it soon became louder and louder until it became insanely arrogant.
The evil woman's head, which had been hanging down, slowly lifted up amidst her laughter.
As her shrill laughter echoed in the arena, the woman's knee-length hair began to grow crazily until it covered her entire body.
Dorcas also noticed that something was wrong. The thorns didn't stop. Instead, they became denser.
Some of the sword thrusts were blocked by the strands of hair. Some of the sword thrusts cut off the strands of hair, but their power was quickly reduced by the strands of hair further inside. Some of the sword thrusts broke through all obstacles and pierced into the center of the strands of hair. However, other than the blood on the ground, the evil woman's laughter did not weaken at all.
On the contrary, the more serious the wounds and the more blood she lost, the more excited she became.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Dorcas looked at the blood on the ground, and the woman's laughter grew crazier. Even as an opponent, he felt a chill down his spine.
The evil woman's laughter continued, but at this moment, a strange voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears.
"Yuna …"
"Yuna …"
It sounded like the woman's voice, but it also sounded like a sorrowful moan coming from an endless abyss.
Angor and the others only felt that something was wrong. However, something unexpected happened on Dorcas's side when the voice appeared.
The originally densely packed sword thorns were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At first, they were as dense as a swarm of bees. But now, the number of thorns decreased with each wave. And as "Yuna" called out more frequently, the number of thorns decreased.
In the end, Dorcas could only control less than a hundred thorns.
As for these sword thorns, let alone breaking through the cocoon-like hair, they couldn't even pass through the bandages.
"What's going on?" Khael was shocked. "Why? Why are there fewer thorns?"
Karel looked at Vay, but Vay was just as confused. "Does Dorcas still have feelings for Yuna? That can't be right. Dorcas never liked Yuna back then. Besides, isn't that woman in front of him? What does she have to do with Yuna? "
While they were talking, the situation on the battlefield changed one after another. The evil woman flew into the air again, but her body was now completely covered by her waterfall-like hair.
Blood dripped down from the woman's hair, drop by drop.
The woman's faint voice came from behind the hair. "Do you know why I'm always wrapped in bandages?"
Before Dorcas could answer, the woman's shrill laughter drowned him out. "Because …"
As she finished speaking, an energy shockwave spread out from inside the hair. The hair was pushed to the sides, revealing the woman's "miserable" condition.
Yes, it was miserable. His entire body was dripping with blood, especially on his body. Countless pieces of flesh were hanging just like that.
But the woman didn't seem to mind. Instead, she revealed a perverted smile. "Because there are wounds under the bandages. He left them, he left them, she left them, it left them … you left them, and … I left them!"
"Hahahaha —" The woman's shrill laughter made her look even more terrifying.
Following the laughter, the blood aura from all the wounds on the woman's bandages gathered together and turned into a blood-red spear that shot straight at Dorcas.
Dorcas wanted to use his sword to block, but the strange voice echoed again. "Yuna … Yuna … Na …"
Dorcas was momentarily distracted.
However, this absent-mindedness was fatal. Because — —
The blood-red spear had already reached Dorcas' chest!
