It turned out that she was able to survive thanks to the other party.
It is so cruel that such a young baby has his blood drawn every day.
If Novia had a choice, she would rather die than drink her brother's blood.
It was a shame for her.
A shame that can never be erased in this lifetime.
From now on, she may no longer be able to consider herself a strong person.
"Don't think too much, I don't care about those things." Li Xini said expressionlessly.
Novia remained silent, biting her lower lip.
She suddenly understood why the boy hated her.
If it were her, she would hate it too.
Unfortunately, she found out too late and nothing can happen again.
"Since I am two and my sister is one, we are both copies."
Licinius asked expressionlessly, "So, who is Zero?"
Novia was startled, then reacted instantly.
Yes, since One and Two are both experimental subjects, then what are they used to test
Steward Aoun grinned and said hoarsely, "I don't know. No one knows Zero's identity. I only saw him once at the beginning, and I was only sure that he was a man."
Novia narrowed her eyes: "Male?"
"Somewhere in the family, there may still be the original experimental notes. The eldest lady's congenital disease is actually an adverse reaction caused by the injection of Zero's blood."
Steward Orne laughed crazily and strangely, "As for Master Li Xini, you have actually always been a replica of Zero. He looks exactly like you when you were a child."
"Is Zero still alive?"
Novia gritted her teeth, her voice trembling: "Where is he?"
Butler Orne laughed bitterly and replied, "Zero was already a dead baby more than ten years ago."
Novia was stunned, and suddenly felt powerless.
That feeling of helplessness and hatred that has nowhere to vent.
Licinius also remained silent for a long time and said nothing.
"Master?"
Noren couldn't help but poke him in the waist.
Li Xini smiled silently, indicating that he was fine.
In fact, at that moment just now, he had already guessed the general truth.
Zero is a dead baby...
The family is almost crazy, using human experiments to test something.
The only conclusion is that there is some kind of bloodline, or power, in Zero's body.
"Zero, is he a real member of the Valerius family?"
Licinius said calmly, "Decades ago, the real Valerius family was tragically exterminated in the Scarlet Night incident, but the branch family far away in Florence gained the greatest benefit from it. Father was able to move into the capital, inherit the name of the Valerius family, and a dead baby."
Butler Orn's pupils shrank sharply as he stared at the young man.
It was not until this moment that he realized how terrifying this young man was.
With so few clues, we can actually deduce the truth.
No wonder even the master wanted to drive him away.
If this kind of person stays in the capital and in the family...
It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Novia seemed to have figured something out, and murmured, "One of the conditions for promotion to the sixth level is to master a composite magic. If I'm not mistaken, the original Valerius should have mastered some very special power that made my father crazy."
Licinius' eyes flickered, and he also agreed with this statement.
At present, this is also the most reasonable one.
He thought for a moment and then asked, "Does the matter of the Frostian family have anything to do with father?"
Steward Orne laughed mockingly: "I don't know, I'm just a steward."
Licinius had originally thought of getting an answer from him, so he asked one last question: "So, why did you want to kill the Paganir family? What are you afraid of? Is it related to your mother?"
Butler Orne felt a chill run down his spine when he felt his calm gaze.
This young man has a very sharp mind.
He didn't even suspect his family.
Instead, he directly concluded that his wife and he were plotting something.
"If you don't tell me, I can make you tell me everything."
Licinius said calmly: "Tell me, when everything is over, I might consider letting you live, or even free. After all, you are just a dog to me."
Butler Ornn fell silent. He had to start thinking about this issue seriously.
Did he really want to offend the young man in front of him to death
No, the family will not rescue him.
If he fails today, there will be no recovery.
The worst outcome is death.
Might as well give it a try.
A dog is a dog...
He wags his tail to anyone who gives him a bone.
"The traitor party has been confirmed to have a person who survived the Scarlet Night incident decades ago. The master has always suspected that this person is a member of the Valerius family in the past and is very wary of him. The other party seems to have always believed that Zero is still alive, so they have not taken action against the family."
Steward Orne whispered, "But in order to deal with the master, the lady secretly asked me to contact the Pagonir family and make a deal with the traitors. She wanted to hide it from the master and restore the power of the real Valerius."
Chapter 140: Gravekeeper: What a Sin (5k chapter)
Licinius was not surprised by this, but smiled with relief.
Just as he expected.
The current Valerius family is not united, but each family has its own different intentions.
After getting this answer, he felt much more relaxed.
With a casual wave of his hand, the countless guns suspended in the air disappeared into the gray fog again.
It was a fruitful night, although it cost him one-third of his family fortune to buy gun materials.
But obviously, it was all worth it.
"What should we do now?"
Novia stood up, stared at him with some complex expressions, and bit her lower lip: "Are you still going to go against the family? Orn is just a steward. What he knows may only be the tip of the iceberg for the family. And if it involves the real Valerius family..."
She hesitated: "That level is beyond your imagination."
The Scarlet Night incident was the bloodiest and most brutal upheaval in the empire in nearly a hundred years.
It not only involves the nobles in the royal capital, but also those ancient sorcerer organizations.
An extremely powerful, top warlock above level six.
Novia even heard a horrifying rumor from the Sword Master, that the Scarlet Night incident decades ago even involved the death of a powerful demigod.
Li Xini narrowed his eyes and indeed felt a trace of pressure.
The stronger the enemy's background and strength, the more excited he becomes.
But there is no way to guarantee the safety of the people around me.
Especially Noren.
The shadow of the Frostian family's genocide still lingers in his mind.
Licinius had been unable to sleep or eat well over the years, and revenge was secondary.
The most important thing is that he needs a force strong enough to protect his concubine.
However, since the teacher is there, there will probably not be any big problems.
Li Xini stroked his chin and thought to himself, "If worst comes to worst, I still have a trump card, and that is Annihilation! At worst, I will go to His Majesty and surrender myself, and then put the blame on the teacher and the director, and cooperate with His Majesty. She will release the power of the World Tree, and I will use the matrix transformation to sacrifice it to Annihilation!"
Well, if he is really pushed into a corner, he will send out the second tailed beast to bring another divine punishment.
Those who follow me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish!
Licinius likes to call it the Empress Chakra Mode!
"You don't have to worry about me, Novia."
After Li Xini came up with a solution, he relaxed a lot and said calmly, "You should think about yourself. From this moment on, you must choose a side. On one side are your biological parents. Although they used you as an experiment, you are indeed their biological child."
He crossed his arms and said meaningfully, "On the other hand, I am just a nominal brother. I am not as close as them. But the question is, is blood relationship really reliable?"
Today, Valerius is a family that puts profit above all else.
People who are useless will be discarded.
In name, Novia might be the eldest daughter, or the high and mighty eldest lady.
But the problem is that her family may not really regard her as a human being.
She is just a tool.
A handy tool.
Licinius was quite certain that if one day she lost her usefulness, she would definitely be abandoned.
The outcome then will be tragic.
In particular, Novia has learned some of the family's secrets.
Once the Valerius family finds out what happened today, she will no longer be the useful tool she once was, but will become a potential threat.
Just like Licinius did in the past.
There is even a high possibility that you will be silenced.
Novia was not a fool, of course she could think of these problems, but today's events had such a huge psychological impact on her that her dark eyes were particularly dim.
Pain, confusion, sadness, anger.
These complex emotions surged in her heart, making her very irritated.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs, and you don't need to remind me of my situation. I know it very well. Your individual strength is so weak, you should worry about yourself!"
She said in a cold voice: "Make good use of Norn's talent and let her advance to level five as soon as possible!"
Li Xini raised his eyebrows: "You don't need to remind me of this."
Norn's advancement must be put on the agenda.
The four-star Norn is already so reckless.
After mastering metal magic, you will reach the awakened form and become a savage woman!
If you fuse the upgrade materials and advance to a five-star Norn, that would be awesome!
"Leave the investigation of the family and Zero to me."
Novia said unhappily, "Don't make any moves for now, so as not to alert the enemy."
Li Xini smiled and said, "Oh? Are you so self-conscious?"
"I'm only doing this for myself."
Novia snorted coldly. Although she looked disgusted on the surface, when she learned that she was able to survive by sucking the blood of the young man in front of her, her self-esteem would not allow her to be his enemy again.
