David would not believe in the ancient god Menken. Although he didn't know who the ancient god Menken was, he also understood that the ancient god Menken should be the evil god that Priest Forbes said.
This ancient god is willing to be called an evil god, so he must be suppressed by the gods. He has just come to the world of gods, and he doesn't want to become the enemy of the gods.
The great world of God is not the Star Federation. In the Star Federation, David's personal strength is considered top-notch. Coupled with the application of special abilities, he is not afraid of any strong man in the Star Federation in one-on-one battles.
But the divine world is different. There are too many strong men in the divine world, so many that David does not dare to be the opposite of these strong men.
Just think about how terrifying the sky knight is, his strength is simply not an enemy of the fourth-level sky knight, let alone the existence of the Templar Knights.
The Great World of Gods can be named Gods, so one can imagine how lofty the status of the gods here is.
Besides, the ability of 'Puppet Art' is not very effective for David. He has the 'Controlling Corpse Art' from the Zerg, which has the same effect as 'Puppet Art'.
And the 'Corpse Control Technique' can be used without any faith, so there is no need to learn the 'Puppet Technique'.
David was a little disappointed and threw the knowledge light ball of "Puppet Art (need to believe in the ancient god Menken)" back to the pile of knowledge light balls that he thought were useless, at least before he knew who the ancient god Menken was , he will no longer care about this light sphere of knowledge.
"My lord, are you resting?" Just then, Butler Jason's voice came from outside the door.
"It's Butler Jason, come in!" David heard the voice say.
Butler Jason opened the door and walked in. When he entered, he waved to the maid standing outside the door, and the maid bowed and left.
David could tell that Butler Jason had something to talk to him about.
"Master Baron, please come with me!" Butler Jason bowed to David and made a gesture of invitation.
"Is there something?" David didn't refuse, he asked curiously.
"As for the inheritance of the Luce family, you need to go through some tests before you can see it!" Butler Jason explained while leading the way.
Butler Jason led David into the study, and he stopped in front of an oil painting that took up half of the wall in the study.
The oil painting is that several men in Chinese costumes are having dinner, and it should be related to the Luce family to be able to hang here.
"This is the first patriarch of the Luce family. He is surrounded by several of his friends. This is the scene before the expedition. It was drawn by the family painter at that time, and it has been hung here since then. Of course, this one It was re-imitated more than two hundred years ago, and the original painting is placed in the family's treasure house!" Butler Jason bowed to the portrait, and then introduced it to David.
David also bowed and saluted. This is Arthur's ancestor. He inherited the power of Arthur's blood, and it is also necessary to show respect to his ancestors.
Butler Jason took out a sign with a pattern drawn from his waist, and he put the sign in the card slot at the bottom of the picture frame.
"My lord, please put the coat of arms card into the card slot on the other side!" Butler Jason turned his head and said to David.
David nodded. He took out the Shadow Leopard coat of arms and put it into the card slot on the other side of the bottom of the picture frame.
The card slot is very ingeniously designed, it's right in the blind spot of both eyes, only the hand can find the groove, and the groove has been decorated with patterns, so he only thinks that the card slot is for decoration.
When the two cards were put into the card slot at the same time, David heard a light and crisp sound from inside the wall.
Then the entire wall moved inwards, revealing a passage.
"My lord, don't go in yet!" Butler Jason worried that David was impatient, and reminded him aloud.
He pressed a few times on the left and right sides of the passage, and the floor of the passage moved to reveal a downward staircase.
"This is the real road. Going directly inside is full of traps, and it's a dead end!" Jason Butler explained pointing to the passage ahead.
This is an anti-theft measure. If someone steals or robs these two signs, even if they find this place, they will enter a wrong passage.
Butler Jason took a small bag from his body, opened the bag to reveal the glowing spar inside, and guided the way down the stairs by the light of the spar.
David followed behind Butler Jason, and he found that there were a lot of patterns drawn all around here, and there was energy surging.
This place is not as ordinary as the appearance of this ancient castle, and it can be seen how glorious the history of Luce Castle was before.
After walking down for a few minutes, the two turned their feet firmly on the ground and turned a corner. When Butler Jason pushed open a stone door, their eyes were bright.
In front of it is a gate made of pure white rock, and there is a stone platform on the left side of the gate.
The light here is the light from the pattern drawn on the pure white rock. David doesn't know much about the material of the divine world, but it can be seen that the texture of this pure white rock is not ordinary.
His spirit scanned the pure white rocks, and found that these rocks were similar in nature to the associated stones of kryptonite, but more beautiful than the associated stones.
The pure white rock has the effect of isolating the spirit and various detections. For those who want to use spirit and other means to detect the situation inside the gate, this pure white rock will definitely disappoint them.
If you don't look at the pure white rock with your own eyes, you may ignore everything here if you only use your mind to detect it. This is the function of the pure white rock.
David was not so impatient to let Shadow Waiter enter first, he knew that Jason butler brought him here to let him enter the gate made of pure white rock.
"Master Baron, behind this gate is the family treasury, which contains the family inheritance. Only those who have the blood of the Luce family can open this gate. Please drip your blood on the stone platform!" Butler Jason pointed The stone platform on the left side of the gate said.
When David came to the stone platform, he gently wiped off the dust on the stone platform with his hands, revealing the complex patterns drawn on the surface of the stone platform.
He took out the third-grade military thorn from the space ring, cut a knife on his palm, and immediately blood gushed out from the wound.
Blood dripped on the patterns on the surface of the stone platform, and the patterns shone with white light, and then a phantom of a Shadow Leopard appeared, roaring towards the sky.
"I've met the master!" Steward Jason looked at the phantom of the Shadow Leopard that appeared on the stone platform, with crystal tears in his eyes, he prostrated himself on the ground, and said respectfully.
"Butler Jason, don't do this, get up!" David hurriedly stepped forward to help Butler Jason.
David heard that Butler Jason changed his name, and knew that his blood should be recognized by this stone platform, so that Butler Jason fully recognized him.
Butler Jason had always called him Lord Baron before, although he was very respectful but not close.
"Master, please forgive me. This is a tradition of the Luce family. Only with the approval of the Bloodline Platform can the secrets of the Luce family be truly mastered!" Butler Jason explained to David.
Since the death of the old Baron Luce, the Luce family has been protected by the Noble Affairs Office. Although they will not be wiped out by the enemy, because the enemy has blocked the family's source of income, the family's funds are tight, and even daily life is difficult. problem.
In order to maintain the existence of the Luce family, butler Jason could only dismiss some of the servants and tried his best to save money in the castle.
Butler Jason also knew that the old Baron Luce sent an illegitimate son away, but he didn't know that the child was sent to the distant Star Federation, and he didn't inform the news until the old Baron Luce was dying.
When he saw David, Butler Jason knew that this was the child of the old Baron Luce, and his face was very similar to the old Baron Luce and the ancestors of Luce in the past.
This is the characteristic of the bloodline, as long as it has the bloodline of the Shadow Leopard of the Luce family, its face will look similar.
Butler Jason has been waiting, waiting for David's approval through the bloodline platform.
"Master, please put the Shadow Leopard emblem on the stone platform!" Jason the butler said, putting away his excitement.
David put the Shadow Leopard emblem on the stone platform, the white light on the stone platform was blocked, and soon part of the white light penetrated the Shadow Leopard emblem, forming a special pattern in the air.
When this pattern appeared, the stone gate separated to the two sides.
"Master, there is a treasure house inside, you can only enter by one person!" Jason the butler stood aside and said.
"Okay!" David nodded, and he walked into the stone gate.
Inside the stone gate is a room made of pure white rock. The room is more than 30 square meters, and some items are placed inside.
There are some oil paintings next to the wall. David touched them lightly with his hands carefully. He was worried that the oil paintings would be damaged due to too long time.
However, to his surprise, these oil paintings were well preserved without any damage.
David was a little curious about how it could be done, because he saw the huge oil painting hanging in the study room. In terms of history, if this oil painting is the original version, it must be at least ten thousand years old.
Even if it is not the original version, it is just a recent replacement, and it has a history of two hundred years.
But the oil painting in front of him seemed to be only a few decades old at most. Although David hadn't studied oil painting seriously, he still had some common sense.
The longer the oil painting exists, the oil paint on the surface will reflect it.
David's spirit scanned the oil painting and found that the oil painting was surrounded by a wave of energy, not just the oil painting, but the entire space of the treasure house was filled with this energy.
He continued to check and found that the source of this energy came from the patterns on the ground.
Based on the analysis of David's "research master" ability, it is the pattern on the ground that produces a kind of inert energy. This inert energy prevents the items in the preserved treasure house from coming into contact with corrosive gases such as oxygen in the air. It can be kept forever.
This is somewhat like vacuum storage, but it is more convenient to handle than vacuum storage.
David saw another piece of knight armor and a piece of horse armor, which made him very curious, so he stepped forward to check it.
He touched it lightly with his hands, and he could feel that the knight armor and horse armor were made of third-grade materials, and the surface was coated with a color of an unknown material.
The chest of the knight armor has a light gray pattern of the shadow leopard coat of arms, and the rest of the knight armor and horse armor are black.
David is not a knight yet, so he did not take this set of knight armor and horse armor.
He looked at the weapon beside him again, it was a third-grade heavy sword.
David picked up the third-grade epee. This kind of epee was no longer a precious weapon for him. He was just curious about the effect of this third-grade epee.
His spirit was connected to the pattern on the hilt of the third-grade epee, and he immediately understood the situation of the third-grade epee.
This is an epee with ten accelerations per day, which is not bad among knights' weapons.
This is also the last piece of weaponry, which makes David a little disappointed. You must know that the weapons and equipment in the treasure house of the Luce family are not as good as the weapons and equipment in his space ring.
Taking the knights that David met on Battle Star, the equipment of knights is generally a set of knight armor, a set of horse armor and a main weapon.
These are all available in the treasure house, but here is the lack of defensive shields and long-range attack weapons.
David has seen the long-range attack weapons used by the knights of the divine world, including short spears, hand crossbows and so on.
His space ring contained the spoils he had harvested before, a small buckler, which could activate the light of protection ten times a day, and a hand crossbow, which could increase the penetrating power and add a frost effect after activation.
What David didn't know was that the previous knight equipment of the Luce family was not limited to this, but due to the decline of the family, some equipment was also sold off because no one was using it.
In order to maintain the life of the nobility, the daily consumption is very large. Once the income and expenditure of the nobility cannot maintain a balance, a vicious circle will appear.
When the old Baron Luce took over the family, there were only a few sets of second-grade knight equipment left, and the second-grade knight equipment would not be included in the treasury.
This set of knight armor and horse armor was obtained by the old Baron Luce when he went to Battle Star when he was young, but he also failed to lead the family to glory.
Among the descendants of the old Baron Luce, there is no such talent as the old Baron Luce, and they can't even protect their own safety.
David shook his head, and he continued to check the treasury. In the innermost part of the treasury, there was a bookcase.
This was what he was most concerned about. When he came to the bookcase, a line of words 'Shadow Leopard Bloodline Knight Training Method' was engraved on the wooden horizontal bar on the top floor of the bookcase.
There are only three books in this row, "Leopard Breathing Method", "Shadow Stealth", and "Swift Sword Art".
There are more than ten books in the lower two rows of the bookcase, all of which are general-purpose books.
From the breeding of war horses to the use and maintenance of various knights' standing weapons, to the relevant knowledge of knights' battle formations, almost all the relevant knowledge of knights is here.
David took down the "Leopard's Breath Breathing Method" and looked through it. The book is not only about breathing methods, but also contains all the training methods from apprentice knights to templar knights, which makes "Leopard's Breathing Breathing Method" extremely thick.
