Chapter 297 Chapter 295 "My Dear Father"
Chapter 297 Chapter 290 · "My Dear Father"
In the dimly lit room, the young boy in pajamas tugged at the hem of his clothes, with an extremely dependent look in his eyes.
... As if looking at a trustworthy elder, the young boy stared at him, refusing to let go as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Su Ming'an had already guessed about his identity... How could he be an ordinary down-and-out nobleman.
Whether it's the valuable Art Stone hidden in the room, or judging from his previous experience...his identity cannot be that simple.
And now.
The grand duke of the Yate Empire, the nobleman with the highest status on the Yate, pulled himself and said, "Everything is his order"?
He sat down, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared at the little boy.
The young boy's eyes are very ignorant, like a child who hasn't grown up yet, combined with his age, he looks more like a noble child who was bewitched by Su Rin.
... Then, what did Su Rin rely on to confuse the other party?
"Pule is dead." Su Mingan spoke first, he wanted to see the other party's reaction.
Somewhat beyond his expectation, the other party seemed very happy.
"Really?" The little boy said with a smile: "Then we have one less obstacle, congratulations."
hinder?
Su Mingan understood.
Puller, who is responsible for protecting the Duke, is not his own in the eyes of the Duke.
Then it can only show that... Puller is not loyal to the Duke.The object of Puller's allegiance may be the Empire itself.
Then he didn't count as an oolong to kill one of his own people.
"My lord." The young boy said suddenly: "Everything is going smoothly. When those hunters are driven off the ship, I will dedicate them to you for the Art Stones you want..."
Su Mingan thought for a while.
"The Stone of Art, do you still have it?" he asked.
"You need it now? Please wait a moment." The young boy jumped off the bed and ran directly to the next room, seeming to respect his order.
Su Mingan followed the Duke to another room, watched him enter a series of passwords, and the door opened with a "click".
The Duke opened the door.
Su Mingan was a little surprised.
The situation of the Art Stone in the door...is completely different from the few pieces he had before.
Among them, the most different point is the volume.
The Art Stone he owns is a small piece, like a transparent gem, which can be stuffed in clothes or in suitcases.
But the Art Stone in front of him was being held up by a huge stone.
The boulder almost occupied the entire room, holding the small Art Stone to the height near the ceiling, the whole boulder was like a giant tray.
Next to it was a ladder covered with a soft carpet. The Duke climbed up, and after putting on his gloves, he carefully removed the small Ater Stone that was being held up by the boulder.
"This is a piece I currently own privately." The Duke climbed down the ladder and handed him the Art Stone, his eyes full of expectation, like a child eager to praise: "The rest are in the cargo hold and need Soul Race It can only be mobilized with the hunter's permission. Be careful, the energy in the Yate Stone will dissipate within a day if you leave these Qatar boulders... Ah, yes, but if it's you, the energy should be fine."
Su Mingan saw that from the moment the Yate Stone was removed, it began to emit white gas, as if the ice cubes were melting.
And the moment he took the Yate Stone, the steaming of the stone disappeared immediately, and the Yate Stone lay quietly in his palm, like an ice cap that never melted all year round.
A prompt on the system interface appeared in front of his eyes.
【*You got a special item (Art Stone)】
[Stone of Art: ...]
【Use times: 2/2】
……
As before, the exact same prompts showed that the Art Stones he obtained successively were not different, they were all the same thing.
However, the storage conditions required for this Art Stone are so exaggerated.If it is placed on such a large boulder tray, the energy will dissipate once it leaves.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mingan figured it out.
The Yate Stone probably needs such a storage method in the first place. It needs a huge Qatar boulder to maintain its energy, a huge storage area, and this huge "Yater" to carry it.
It's not something you can just throw in your suitcase.
However, the Ater Stone, which would have dissipated energy as soon as it left the Qatar boulder, stabilized its energy when it touched his hand.It can be easily put in the suitcase.
Even if he put the Art Stone aside again, its energy would never dissipate again.
……I see.
Do you have a hidden special ability?Like, a special ability that can preserve gem energy?
This ability is very strange, it should be related to his identity.
The originally strange point was instantly cleared up, and Su Mingan immediately understood the whole plan.
Once the nobles want to abandon the Yate in order to save their lives, the Yate Stone must also be abandoned together.
Because of such a large volume, it cannot be brought into the lifeboat at all.
The energy of the Art Stone will dissipate quickly. Once the energy dissipates, it is no different from an ordinary broken stone.
With the call of the Duke, it is not impossible to give up the Stone of Art.
And Su Lin, a down-and-out aristocrat, who was forced to stay on board because he couldn't grab a lifeboat, could completely control the life with his "some kind of power" after the only obstacle—the three soul hunters loyal to the empire had all left. Seat Yate.
This plan is actually more idealistic, and the soul hunters who are not very obedient are the biggest obstacle, but now they are going wrong, and one of them has been killed by myself.
In this way, the plan seems to make sense...
"My lord, my lord?"
His thoughts were interrupted by the Duke's call.
Su Mingan suddenly realized that the Duke must know his true identity, otherwise he wouldn't be so respectful.
"My lord, do you have any other orders?" The little boy tilted his head to look at him.
"What do you think we should do?" Su Mingan asked him back.
"...Well." The young boy seemed a little annoyed: "According to the plan, my lord, you take control of the Yate...I will wait for you in the city on the sea...Is it gone?"
Su Mingan was thinking.
After all, his only doubt now is what is his identity that makes the duke of a country respect him so much...
As he was thinking like this, he suddenly saw the other party leaning forward.
"My lord, I'm hungry..." the little boy said suddenly.
"Hungry?" Su Mingan didn't understand what the other party was saying.
"My lord, my lord, you said that after the plan is successful, you will eat my soul, but when I see you now, I suddenly feel very hungry. I am so hungry that I may not wait for you to arrive safely in the sea city. Can I, Can you..." The young boy looked at him, his eyes full of longing: "Eat a little, I'll just... just eat a little..."
At the same moment when the young boy posted it, Su Mingan saw the Art Stone in his hand, and it suddenly lit up red.
The red light was extraordinarily dazzling, as dazzling as a flame bursting out in an instant.
Su Mingan knew what that light represented.
...That is, what it means is that the Art Stone was detected successfully.
other side.
It is the soul race.
The country of Art, the duke of a country, is a soul clan.
……absurd.
Su Mingan saw that the number of uses of the Art Stone in his hand was directly reduced by one, and immediately pushed the opponent away.
The little boy stumbled back a few steps, but when Su Mingan pushed the opponent, he obviously felt a hindrance.
...as if the strength of the other party has skyrocketed in an instant.He felt like he was pushing a rock.
At the same moment, the red light suddenly dyed the opponent's eyes, and the color that was originally as beautiful and pure as the sky and the sea turned into scarlet.
As if suddenly losing his mind, the originally respectful young boy had red eyes and rushed towards him like a wild beast.
Su Mingan knew that the soul race would lose their minds if they were extremely hungry, otherwise the Duke would not have shot him.
... Then what is my identity! ?
"clang--!"
The blade deflected, and he slashed at the opponent's arm, feeling as if he had chopped a boulder.
When the sword hit the opponent's arm, there was a sound like a metal and stone clashing.
The soul race is really strong.
However, Su Ming'an's strength was obviously higher than that of the opponent, and after he missed the sword, he directly threw the opponent from the left.
"Oh!"
The young boy's small body was slammed against the wall, making a loud noise.
Su Mingan stood up and pointed down with the tip of his sword.
"Remember your identity." He said suddenly: "Answer me—who am I?"
The little boy was lying on the corner of the wall, panting heavily.
As if he had been awakened by this blow, the red light in his eyes gradually receded...
"You are," he said softly, "my dear father..."
Hearing this answer, Su Mingan's sword was almost thrown down by himself.
The little boy was panting, the last trace of blood red in his eyes slowly disappeared like the setting sun, and then he passed out directly.
Su Mingan retracted his sword.
The floor under his feet was shaking slightly, and he heard the sound of the rain outside getting louder.
He put away the Art Stone in his hand, arranged the scene, walked quickly through the room, and went out the door.
... He knew that the "father" in the Duke's mouth was definitely not the normal meaning of father.Su Lin's body is very young, no more than 25 years old at most, it is impossible to have such a big son.
The "father" in the Duke's mouth may mean the godfather, the teacher who is regarded as the father, or other meanings on the level of respect...
No, there is another possibility.
Suddenly, he had a new guess.
But this possibility is too outrageous, so he still can't believe it.
He suddenly looked up at the barrage.
At this time, after experiencing such a big situation, even the barrage is rioting:
[?Did I hear wrong? ?What is this kid's name? 】
[He called Su Mingan's father... Damn!I don't have a cheap son like you, and my mother hasn't had a baby yet! 】
[?Whoever has yellow urine, wake up the one in front. 】
[It is reasonable to guess that Su Rin's identity may be related to the soul clan? 】
【...This requires you to make a reasonable guess, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it. 】
[This wave of identities may have pitfalls. I don't believe that the person who can command a duke is an ordinary human being. 】
[?Why can't it be an ordinary human being, can't the strongest soul hunter?Soul hunting is so strong, why do you have to get involved with strange species.You see, the Yate Stone didn’t respond either…]
【…】
There are various speculations in the barrage, and the proportions are different. Some people also put forward similar views as him.
Su Mingan walked into the corridor.
Puller's body was still lying in the corridor, and the blood was scattered in large swaths. The scene looked horrific.
Su Mingan squatted down, took out the green injection and the diamond-shaped scalpel, and processed the corpse according to the original steps, turning it into a look that was attacked by the soul clan.
He looked at it, and felt that it was not good enough. He switched to the shadow state, stretched out his hand, and completely melted the opponent's neck to prevent others from seeing that it was the damage caused by the blade.
After doing all this, he briefly dealt with the scene, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from downstairs.
He glanced down the gap in the stairs, and saw a black corner of his clothes, and the shiny silver gun that the man was wearing.
... The second soul hunter, who should be the old man next to Saya, came here on patrol.
The time is just right.
He didn't go downstairs, he would just bump into someone head-on.
He moved directly in space and passed by it.
When he reached his room and opened the door, he heard the siren on the ship and the old man's extremely angry exclamation.
The situation fermented.
well.
He opened the door and closed it lightly.
Outside the window, the rain was pouring, and the night was dark.
……
[The second day after the dungeon opens, daytime]
【Sea Floating City · Praia】
The floating city on the sea, called Praia, is a city built on miracles.
It has the most beautiful port, the freshest air, and the most distinctive architectural layout.
In front of the houses, the waterway is full of boats of various colors, most of which are white.
Numerous white boats float on the water, looking from a height, it looks like white doves kissing a clear mirror.
Praia, where the folk customs are open, has a hot climate. People wear clothes with very little fabric and walk in the streets and alleys.Beautiful and dark-skinned girls have also become a colorful landscape.
Winding water alleys, flowing clear waves, boats slowly passing by on the river...
This is a city built on water, and water is the soul of Praia.
Any tourist who comes to play will be attracted by its well-developed inland river network, and then shocked by the clearness of the river and the blue sky.If they looked up, they could even see a city floating in the sky...
It is a city of treasures that attracts countless navigators, a city in the clouds that is full of gold in the legend, and even more... the place where the gods live in the prophecy.
Travelers who come here will immediately have the idea of living forever.
... This kind of thinking is limited to the daytime.
Because, when night comes.The pure and beautiful Praia...will become a city of alternative carnival.
The terrifying murderous race, the soul race, is rampant in this city.Bloody incidents can happen in any corner of the city...
"...This city on the water is dominated by the gods and lords of the city in the cloud, and at the same time emphasizes the law of the jungle. The small island at night is a hotbed of crime, and all crimes can be poured out; the princess with the blood of the siren will A sea feast will be held in the near future, at that time all people can participate, the winner can have dinner with the princess, and get a pass to the city in the clouds..."
Beside a waterway, the lady proprietress of the grocery store with very little cloth on her body and long red hair is introducing enthusiastically to a tall, thin and fair young man in front of her.
Listening to her introduction, Lu Shu raised his head.
