Faced with Shinji's provocation, Xiel remained silent.
If she was the only one here, she would definitely answer: "Come on, who's afraid of who?"
In terms of hurting each other, who can compare to her big bug blessed by the world order? In terms of simple gun battle, even Zhu Yute in his prime can't beat her.
The immortality of vampires is limited. Ordinary vampires have their heads chopped off and their hearts dug out, while stronger vampires are simply cut into pieces. Even a strong one like Zhu Yue would be blasted to pieces by "Jewel Man's" "Multiple Ensemble Saturation Bombardment" and could never be restored.
Xiel's immortality is infinite, as long as Shinji is willing to use it, she is sure to use it up until his weapons are used up, his magic power is exhausted, and his physical strength is exhausted, and finally win.
But it's different now. Meilian's left foot is on the buried mechanism, and her right foot is on the princess party. Her attitude is ambiguous, so we can't have too much hope. The trustworthy Kallen was seriously injured by the knight of that hateful woman. If the opponent opens fire, Kallen's chance of survival is very small.
As the only conscience of the Burial Agency, Xiel was not as completely twisted as other monsters, she still retained her humanity. No matter how she denied it, she was still worried about the safety of her companions, including not only Kallen, but also Meilian and that damned director.
Do you want to admit defeat? Xiyeer bit his lip and quietly moved closer to Kallen.
Shinji saw her dilemma and didn't want to push her too far, so he took the initiative to move the gun away. After all, there was no irreconcilable conflict between him and the Burial Agency, and he didn't want to provoke such an unfathomable and powerful enemy.
"Ahem, sorry. Although I'm a magician, I'm very fond of modern weapons. I got excited when I saw Miss Hiel's weapons. These common weapons are good for burning forests and blowing up animals, but they are far from enough to deal with members of the "Burying Agency"."
"You... changed your mind?"
Xiel didn't know why Shinji suddenly changed his attitude and remained alert.
"Yes, I changed my mind because I thought of a better way."
"What method?"
"I'll go first, and you guys will follow later. This way you don't have to worry about me sneaking up on you and your mission won't fail. Anyway, all you want is the destruction of Fu Hailin. If I succeed, you can save some energy. If I fail, you can come up later. Well, if you want to sneak up on me, you can, but be prepared to be killed in return."
As he said this, Shinji tucked the RPG between his waist and the Vulcan cannon on his shoulder, then turned and walked deeper into the forest, completely ignoring the enemies who were lurking behind him.
The arrogant declaration and arrogant attitude made Xiel pull the trigger of the impact cone several times, ready to shoot Shinji, but in the end she suppressed the impulse.
She knew that what Shinji said was right, Fuhailin was the primary task, and everything else was secondary. If she lost her teammates and failed the mission because of her impulsiveness, she would not forgive herself without Narubalek's accountability.
At this time, Mei Lian, who had been waiting and watching, suddenly spoke.
"The Crimson Throne is not in that direction... Or does Your Excellency the Knight not know the exact location of the throne?"
The Vulcan cannon on his waist suddenly slipped down, and Shinji immediately looked embarrassed.
"Ah, I've been exposed. I judged the direction by the flow of blood and the strength of the forest's attack, and I really didn't know the exact location of the True Crimson Throne. Oh, I remember that your existence seems to be similar to Fu Hailin, so you should know the exact location of the throne."
If I remember correctly, the original world line was that Mei Lian guided Shiki to penetrate Fukailin's heart, ultimately completely killing this huge vampire forest with a diameter of fifty kilometers.
"Correction, it's not similar, but higher than Anashu." Mei Lian seemed very persistent about this point, "Because the level of existence is higher, so I know."
"Can you tell me?"
"Okay." Mei Lian nodded and looked at Xiyeer again, "But it's not free. Although I would like to tell you for free, it will be a bit troublesome later, and I am a person who is very afraid of trouble."
"It doesn't matter. I can still afford the price of buying a location intelligence."
Shinji's generous attitude made Meilian's smile even brighter.
"Yes, yes. Unlike Xiel, you are quite honest. That's what a knight of Her Highness the Princess should be like. As for the reward, I'll follow your suggestion and exchange information. I also have something I want to know."
"Go ahead, I'll just give you the information I know."
"You must know that eight hundred years ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess once conquered Anashu and indeed destroyed Anashu. That's why Anashu still exists today."
"It's very simple, because this Anashu is not that Anashu. If you insist, this is the second generation Anashu. This is what happened."
Anashu, like the Millennium Lock, is a Dead Apostle transformed from a magician. He has done very in-depth research in suggestive hypnosis and has reached the point where he can tamper with memories. He is also very cautious. After he was transformed into a Dead Apostle, he tampered with the memories of everyone who knew of his existence. Even Elquet was tricked and believed that "the Dead Apostle named Anashu does not exist." He is a very difficult guy.
However, everything is interdependent. There are magicians who can tamper with memory, magicians who can make people forget, and naturally there are magicians who can restore lost memories. With the help of that magician, Elquet invalidated Anashu's magic, and eventually killed him and wiped out Anashu's entire faction. At that time, Her Royal Highness was a pure executioner, without relatives, ruthless, and invincible.
In theory, there shouldn't be any more Dead Apostles related to Anashu in this world. But Her Highness was careless at that time and didn't really kill Anashu to pieces. Instead, she just dumped his body at random. The place where it was dumped was under a tree.
As it happens, this tree is a blood-sucking plant similar to the Piranha plant, and it instinctively absorbed Anashu's blood. The dead apostles who are qualified to be conquered by Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot be weak. After absorbing the blood of such a powerful monster, the ordinary tree rapidly evolved and became a plant fantasy species that can actively attack and mainly absorb blood.
Just like a vampire would use creatures of the same species as its subordinates, this tree also devoured other plants that were trees like itself, and then other plants also became blood-sucking plants. In this way, it expanded little by little, developed little by little, and finally reached its current size.
The two things that the outside world is most interested in about Fu Hailin - the inherent barrier that lasts for several days and the truth about the immortal True Red Fruit - are also revealed.
The so-called inherent barrier does not exist at all. It is simply composed of blood-sucking plants. It cannot be maintained for dozens or even hundreds of days, let alone a few days.
The True Red Fruit is even simpler. It is the instinct of plants to produce fruit, even the Fantasy Species is no exception. The blood and life force they swallow, minus the remaining part that maintains their own existence, will condense into fruit.
The fruit is the essence of countless lives and blood accumulated over eight hundred years. It may not be true that one can be immortal, but it can definitely extend one's lifespan. The fruit itself is the highest-level material for the Dead Apostle Transformation Ceremony, and after being transformed into a Dead Apostle, one can be considered immortal.
This is the truth about the second generation of Anashu, Fuhailin Anashu.
PS: The ability to tamper with memory is great. RBQ, RBQ, the two RBQs have different meanings. If you understand, you will understand. If you don’t understand, you probably won’t read this book.
