Boom!
The explosion woke up the night.
The Blue Shield Knights in the camp walked out of their tents and looked at the forest not far away in shock. Thick smoke was rising. They turned around and saw that Rezar, who was in the prisoner carriage, was missing. They were shocked.
"The prisoner escaped!" At that moment, someone shouted.
The knights hurriedly picked up their shields and steel swords and rushed to the scene of the explosion.
After entering the forest, they saw Han Xiao standing in front of a huge pit. Inside the pit were charred corpses that looked like charcoal. They could not see the human form.
Rex 'hurried' over and asked with a serious expression, "What happened here?"
"Your prisoner almost escaped, but I found out." Han Xiao shrugged. "You saw it yourself. I accidentally went overboard."
"Rezar was strangled to death?" The knights who rushed over were shocked.
Rex's expression changed. He shook his head and said, "The king wants him alive. He shouldn't have died, but he chose to die. What a pity …"
As the commander, he settled this matter with a few words. He pretended to severely punish a few guards and then ordered the knights under him to go back and sleep. Seeing this, the others did not investigate further. Since Rezar was strangled to death, there was no need to escort him. They did not have to be nervous on the way. Many people heaved a sigh of relief and secretly felt refreshed. Most people had the same thoughts as Rex and wanted to kill Rezar. Some of the knights' hometowns were in the southern territory, and Rezar almost killed their families in the countryside. If it were not for the warriors from the higher world, the consequences would have been unimaginable. They could not pretend that nothing had happened.
A few veterans who had followed Rex for a long time noticed something and looked at Rex meaningfully. They knew their commander. The 'escape' this time was probably planned and put on a show for the king and nobles who wanted to capture Rezar alive. Killing Rezar was to prevent anyone from having bad intentions. Rex had a very high reputation in the army and was loved by everyone. The soldiers did not have a good impression of nobles, so they pretended that they did not know anything.
After everyone left, Rex nodded at Han Xiao and left together with them.
Han Xiao did not return to the camp. Instead, he walked far away. In the dark night, he came to the back of a small hill. Rezar was thrown there. Herlous crossed his arms and guarded beside him.
In the end, Rex still handed Rezar over. Although he really wanted to kill Rezar, he did not have much choice in front of Han Xiao. He could only believe what Han Xiao said.
"How is he?"
Han Xiao asked.
"The wound on his chest has been bandaged. He won't die," Herlous replied.
"Very good. I'm going to follow the knights to the King's Capital. You stay in the wilderness with Rezar. After I'm done, we'll call the spaceship and leave together."
Herlous nodded. He then sized Rezar up and asked in confusion, "Black Star, do you want to recruit this mage? He's not a good person. "
"Do I look like I lack people?" Han Xiao patted his back and said, "Don't forget, I promised to bring hundreds of thousands of Super warriors to solve the problem of Sunil. I'm not interested in him."
"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll stay and watch over him. If he tries to run, I'll kill him."
Herlous trusted Han Xiao a lot. He knew that his fate was tied to Han Xiao's. Back then, he had only joined Black Star with a skeptical attitude. After so many things, he firmly believed that Han Xiao had the ability to fulfill the promise he made when he recruited him and had the ability to change the future of his race.
"Since you're not recruiting him, what do you want him for?" Herlous asked.
Rezar looked up at Han Xiao. His old face was filled with fear and uneasiness. He did not know what was waiting for him next.
"Just watch."
Han Xiao took out a small suction cup device. There were many tiny needles in the center of the suction cup. He pressed them on the blood vessels on Rezar's arm. The needles were inserted into the blood vessels and slowly drew out his blood. Gradually, they glowed with magic.
Rezar suddenly felt the magic in his body being drained. He looked at the device on his arm that looked like a blood-sucking bug.
This thing was draining his magic!
"No, no!" He tried his best to struggle, but his strength was quickly draining away.
His magic was draining away. Very soon, the wrinkles on Rezar's face increased rapidly. It was as if he had aged ten years. A sense of weakness spread throughout his body. It was as if he had returned to his childhood when he was still an ordinary person. The magic in his body had dried up, and he had turned back into an ordinary person.
"Where's my power? Give me back my power! "
He had only obtained the power of an ascender for less than half a day. He had not even properly experienced it yet, and he had already lost the power that he had obtained with much difficulty. Rezar broke down.
Even when the plan that he had worked on for twenty years failed, he was not as desperate as he was now. Power was the foundation that supported his confidence, and Han Xiao had taken away his foundation.
After losing his power, Rezar's temperament seemed to have turned back into that of an ordinary person … No, he was even worse than an ordinary person. He cried and begged.
Han Xiao shook his head. Some people had power and could do whatever they wanted. Once they lost their power, they would become cowards, strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
The device in his hand was the [Super-Gene Extractor — Experimental Model] that he had obtained from the Dark-star Secret Message Bead. When Herlous saw this thing, he shivered. "Put it away. I'm scared. "
A few months ago, Han Xiao had experimented with the effects of the Stripper. The first test subject was Frenzied Sword. The effect of the Stripper on players was to absorb 20-50 random attribute points and a certain amount of energy, which would be added to the user. The effect lasted from 0 to 20 minutes. In his previous life, the Super-Gene Extractor was in the hands of Dark-star. Players could only obtain the [Damaged Super-Gene Extractor] by completing the related high-difficulty missions. The effect was similar to the one he had, but it was weaker. The practicality of the extractor in battle was very low because it needed to be in contact with the target's body to be effective. Most people had physical or magical armor, so it was difficult for it to be effective. Plus, the prerequisite was to control the enemy and make them not move. The prerequisite was very strict.
However, the hidden function of the extractor had to be effective when the target was unprotected. The examples of unprotected states were hibernating, captured, paralyzed, willing, and so on. This meant that the target was completely under one's control. If the player was unlucky enough to be affected, they would enter a two-hour period of weakness known as' Sheep's Tail ', and their attributes would decrease by 30-90% (depending on the power of the extractor). If an NPC was affected, not only would they be weakened, but they would also produce an Ability Potion. After drinking the potion, they would temporarily obtain one of the target's abilities, which would appear as a temporary Character Summon Card on the player's interface.
The second experiment subject that Han Xiao obtained this result was Herlous. Herlous clearly remembered the fear and weakness he felt when his power was taken away. He had only endured a small amount of damage, but it still took him a few days to recover. This thing that could take away the genes of Supers was the natural enemy of Supers!
Just how many Supers had been destroyed by the organization that created this kind of device?
Han Xiao took out three empty potion tubes and stored the blood extracted by the device.
You have received [Ability Potion] 3.
He directly drank a tube of it. The sweet and fishy taste filled his mouth, and the warm blood flowed down his throat. It was very choking. Then, a unique warmth of magic power rippled through his body.
You have received [Character Summon Card — Rezar (Temporary)]!
Character Summon Card – Rezar (Temporary): [Origin Water Magic Power] – Temporarily obtain a power that exceeds one's own. + 20% All Attributes. Duration: 5-5 minutes. Uses: 0/(This Character Summon Card's duration: 5 days)
"Buff bonus, not a bad ability." Han Xiao was very satisfied.
Rezar's loss of magic power was only temporary. It was just that this crying old man himself did not know about it. This meant that Han Xiao could continuously take advantage of him and mass-produce Ability Potions. Although the temporary Character Summon Card's ability would be different every time, Han Xiao believed that the players would pay for this new product.
In Han Xiao's previous life, Dark-star had also used the Super Gene Extractor to carry out this plan. The difference was that Han Xiao would not randomly grab someone to use as a battery. The temporary Character Summon Card was just icing on the cake for him. He would not force it. He would only do it if he met someone he could do it with a clear conscience.
"I remember that you begged me to bring you to the higher world. Hehe, I'll agree to it now."
Han Xiao's smile was like a demon's in Rezar's eyes. This old man trembled, and his face was filled with fear and begging.
Going to the higher world like this was completely different from what he had imagined. A thick sense of regret rose from his heart and climbed up to his eyes.
"You … You're a demon …" Rezar wanted to roar, but he could only make a weak sound.
Han Xiao was amused. You're the one complaining first?
…
Two days later, the Blue Shield Knights returned to the capital. This city was located on a plain. A Origin River separated the city in the middle, making it the west bank and the east bank. It also separated the classes. On the east bank were the noble mansions and palaces. They were exquisite and luxurious. On the west bank was the crowded civilian area. There were many castles, and all kinds of arches and sewage pipes formed complicated streets. Only those who had lived here for more than ten years remembered the route. Normal people would completely lose their way after walking a few rounds.
It was noon. The sun was the size of a soybean hanging in the sky. The light was dim, giving the city a dark yellow color. The buildings and streets covered each other, and the light and shadows were scattered. It was like dusk when the sun was setting. However, this was the brightest time of the day on Planet Dawn.
Rex brought everyone to the east bank and stayed near the palace. The officer came to welcome them. Facing these guests from the higher world, the officer's attitude was even more respectful than when he was facing the king. He could not help but lower his head to the ground.
"On behalf of the Vain Kingdom, I welcome all of you to Planet Dawn as guests. His Majesty has invited all the warriors from the higher world to attend the palace banquet. He hopes that all of you will do him the honor. At that time, our ascenders will communicate with you through the Kingdom Protector Mages and pay the remuneration for this employment."
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Of course, no one had any objections.
