Beatrice had heard many legends.
About the Titan Empire in ancient times, the myths of giants and giant snakes, the angels of heaven and the glory of the Lord, and stories about warriors defeating evil dragons and rescuing princesses, of course, there are also indispensable knights’ wars, and those who only exist The mage and witch in fairy tales.
Now, seeing Wu Ming's actions, her little face turned pale with fright, almost linking him with the wizard.
She has experienced many terrible things before, but none of them can compare to the weirdness of this moment.
After Wu Ming prepared some potions and extracted some blood, he began to sprinkle some powder on Alfred's wound.
Immediately, Alfred's entire body began to dissolve strangely.
First the skin, then the muscles, and then the white bones... everything, like a strange magic, makes a person slowly disappear.
After the corpse was completely dissolved, Wu Ming got a pot of yellow pus.
"The next step is to further remove impurities and purify..."
This is just a simple technique, precipitation and layering can be done with simple physics knowledge.
He was so absorbed in his experiment that he almost forgot that there was Beatrice beside him.
The morning light is faint.
In the morning of the next day, Wu Ming looked at the blue liquid that was about a pint in front of him, and remained silent.
"Sure enough... the blood of Thaler the Conqueror is mixed with the blood power of high-ranking creatures..."
He sprinkled a handful of white powder, then looked at Beatrice who seemed to be standing stiffly all night: "Tell me... what did you see in this?"
Wu Ming pointed to the surface of the blue liquid and asked solemnly.
"I saw… "
Beatrice also had blue eyes in her eyes, staring blankly at the blue container, and murmured in a blurred voice: "Giant dragon! I saw a blue giant dragon flying in the sky!"
"Sure enough... the blood of the blue dragon?"
Wu Ming immediately identified the origin of the blood of all the blue-blooded nobles, and even Thaler the Conqueror: "Dragonborn?!"
No matter in any world, dragons are quite terrifying creatures, and they can combine with almost any race to produce half-blood and mixed-blood offspring.
Moreover, next to his own residence, powerful energy will form radiation, creating a group of servants.
This kind of influence is naturally quite terrifying.
"Judging from the fact that Thaler's bloodline has been passed down for so long and still has such power, either the blue dragon's strength is amazing, or Thaler himself has made a breakthrough..."
Wu Ming looked at the blue blood in front of him, but shook his head and smiled: "If these blue bloods go through a few more purifications, they should be able to reach the level of the descendants of Taler's direct lineage within three generations... but..."
It has to be said that he basically doesn't like the power of this bloodline.
Even after purification, it is the same.
"It can increase the bloodlines of Beatrice next to me...or make knight holy oil. If you want to develop your strength in the future, you can't do without..."
"Anyway, this trash is still useful!"
Wu Ming put the blue blood into a black jar, sealed the opening with wax oil, and then looked at Beatrice next to him: "Are you scared?"
"ah?"
Beatrice was startled, and immediately she sat down on the ground, feeling that her hands and feet were no longer her own.
"You stood all night, your hands and feet are bloody stiff, rest for a while, and move around again..."
Wu Ming calmly packed everything up without leaving any traces. After all, if other people or even the church find this place, it is easy to be regarded as a cultist or something bad.
"After breakfast, you will follow me into the city, ready to go to my fief!"
he added.
"manor?"
As the daughter of a nobleman, Beatrice is very sensitive to this: "Master, you have become a knight!"
"Not bad! Although I don't know which manor will be rewarded to me, but I can't escape the legacy of the death knight from the last war..."
Wu Ming sighed: "I'm afraid there will be a little trouble at that time."
He washed his hands, and ate the bread and barbecue that he had brought yesterday with Beatrice.
Wu Ming was not idle at this time, but took out another piece of Alfred's legacy, the sheepskin scroll shrouded in extraordinary light, and studied it carefully.
Beatrice poked her head curiously, but was disappointed to see that what was recorded on the sheepskin scroll was only a map. Perhaps for the mercenary group, such a detailed map was hard to come by, but for the nobles , but the value is only average.
"The aura above is not such a simple matter..."
Wu Ming rubbed his fingers against the thick parchment surface, feeling the deeper secrets, and couldn't help muttering: "Spell secret lock? Interesting?"
The perception released, let him know that this scroll has been given a small cover, if there is no key, ordinary people can only see this kind of picture.
"It's just a coincidence that I happen to have this key!"
Wu Ming took out a table knife: "Cut off your finger and smear the blood on it!"
"Obey! Master!"
Beatrice's small hands trembled a little, but she still acted obediently, red agate-like blood drops fell on the scroll, and melted again.
"ah… "
Beatrice exclaimed, looking at the place where her blood had been smeared, lines of writing began to emerge.
In the blank space of the original map, dark brown letters appeared one after another, and there was also a pentagram emblem.
Pentagram!
The status of this emblem in the Western world is similar to that of Wu Ming's Bagua diagram in his previous life, both representing mystery and some kind of advanced magic circle.
"Sure enough... the key to open the scroll is still blue blood!"
Wu Ming already has a deep understanding of this group of nobles' pursuit of blue blood: "Pentagram...the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, plus the spiritual energy of people, represent a powerful magic circle and power... "
He first took a careful look at the complex and exquisite pentagram formation, and then turned to look at the text.
"In the year of flowers and green leaves, after the third harvest moon has passed, the red evil star pierced the sky, and the ancient sleeping giant snake is about to wake up..."
Wu Ming carefully read the words on the scroll: "It seems to be the same prophecy, but a little more precise."
He continued to read: "The descendants who inherit the blue blood...Follow the oath of the five ancient kings, fight against the world-destroying giant snake, and the power of all peoples will be with you!"
The original map also changed at this time, some lines were re-drawn, and it turned into a treasure map, and there was a blood-red dagger symbol somewhere.
"It seems to be a hidden treasure somewhere, maybe there are some oaths, it's worth exploring..."
Wu Ming reckoned that the danger of this hidden treasure was not small, otherwise Alfred would have dug it out long ago.
Of course, the possibility of severing the inheritance is not ruled out. He doesn't know how to open this scroll at all.
"It's a good harvest..."
Wu Ming pulled Beatrice: "Let's go, go to the Earl's Castle..."
"Owner!"
At this time, Beatrice suddenly said, "Can you teach me magic?"
"Huh? Do you think I'm a wizard?"
Wu Ming couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt that what he did, in the eyes of the little girl, might really be no different from those evil and unpredictable wizards: "Do you want the power of magic to take revenge? Not a bad idea." !"
With Beatrice's physical strength and her own flaws, becoming a knight is quite difficult.
Perhaps, the only thing she can rely on is the power of spells.
"Unfortunately... I am not the legendary wizard and mage, nor do I have the power of magic..."
Wu Ming said lightly, and it was no surprise that he saw disappointment in Beatrice's eyes. He shook his head and smiled, and suddenly changed the topic: "But I can train you and stimulate your original blue blood power... I want to remind you in advance , that is completely different from the method of knight baptism, and what is discovered is the original strength of blue blood, so it is really hard to say what will happen in the future, do you want to take this risk?"
"I am willing! Master!"
Beatrice agreed almost without hesitation.
…
Howling Castle.
"Ah... Dear William, I've heard about your 'record' yesterday, it's unbelievable!"
As soon as Baron Terry saw Wu Ming, he immediately surrounded him. The adored expression on his face seemed like a devout believer saw the coming of a god.
"you flatter me… "
Wu Ming was amused in his heart, no wonder the expressions of the maids and noble ladies who passed by just now were so subtle, especially the jealous feelings of those men who had low self-esteem, which made him very speechless.
"You must teach me the skills in this area!"
Baron Terry threw his wife and children out of the sky, and the two chatted and laughed for a while before they got to the point: "What? William, have you figured out your family name?"
In this world, commoners rarely have a surname. The origin of a surname represents the inheritance of blood, and it is a proof of being a noble, or at least once a noble.
There was a rare trace of apprehension in his voice, for fear that William would choose his family's surname.
Naturally, Wu Ming didn't know that Baron Terry had already had a very subtle association when he saw that he could use the dragon heart, and he was falling into the subtle emotion of how to avoid family scandals.
"I'm getting a new one, what do you think of 'Wallace'?"
"very good!"
In fact, anything is fine as long as it is not called by your own family name.
Baron Terry was relieved: "It seems that you have already thought about your surname and badge."
"Well, I'm going to use olive branches and tulips for the badge, with a crossed sword in the middle!"
Wu Ming nodded in recognition.
"In that case, I'll give you another message!"
Baron Terry had a relaxed smile on his face: "Your territory has been determined, just under the Tucker Mountains, lucky guy..."
For some reason, Wu Ming felt that there was a lot of taste in his smile, even a trace of jealousy.
