Chapter 139: The Blazing Principality Enters Its Final Stage
Chapter 139: The Blazing Principality Enters Its Final Stage
Naturally, Maria was not the only one participating in the carnival of life after death. Five adult dragon servants, secretary Riki, bunny girl Ye Lin, and widow Karishan all joined in one after another.
The carnival lasted for four days and four nights before they fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, Ash patted his waist. Even though his level soared by 20 levels and his physical fitness was greatly improved, he still felt that he was almost exhausted and his level was showing a tendency to decline when dealing with nine extremely hungry female wolves.
Lying his head back, Ash entered the dream world.
Next it's time for the liver to work hard.
The body and soul influence each other. As Ash's level increases rapidly, his soul also grows stronger.
As soon as he entered the dream world, Ash felt that his soul was still growing slowly.
The growth of the soul also takes time. Ash's physical fitness improved too quickly, and the growth rate of his soul obviously could not keep up. He could only catch up slowly, just like the tortoise and the hare, relying on the time when his body dozed off.
Driving the Daring, Ash stopped for a moment and then flew in a certain direction.
The limit of future vision is 42.5 seconds, but it does not mean that it can only predict one future. With Ash's current soul, he can predict three futures at the same time.
He just predicted his future in different directions, which allowed him to easily find a dream cave and avoid taking the detour.
After entering the dream cave, Ash saw a centipede with a thousand legs and a thousand arms crawling on the cave. There was a human head growing on its back, legs, and between the joints of its hands.
It looks extremely evil and weird, making people lose their minds.
The moment it saw the Kokang, the centipede launched an attack, and all its heads were singing hoarse and mocking music.
Those pieces of music were like devilish sounds, torturing Axu's hearing.
"It sounds awful!"
With Ash's impatient cry, the Daring's main gun fired, and a red beam of light flashed, stabbing into its mouthparts like a stick, breaking it apart and exploding it.
The cave began to fade, a sign of the death of the guardian of the dream cave.
After absorbing the dream energy, Ash continued to move to the next level of the dream.
Finally, when my energy was almost exhausted, I reached the 90th floor.
{Achievement: [If you are a man, go down to the 37th floor] achieved, reward: achievement points*}
{Activate achievement: [If you are a man, go down 90 floors]: reach the 100th floor of the dream world, /.}
In the tree house, Ash and Ye Lin are saying goodbye to Carissa. They have to go back to the Blazing Principality to deal with a mess.
Calisan was a little reluctant, but as the chosen one of the Earth Mother, she still had things to do, which was the matter of Slaanesh collecting the dragon concept from various dragon species.
She must work with the other Earth Mother Goddesses to track down this matter.
After a while of passionate suffocation, Karisan finally let go reluctantly: "Be careful on the road."
"I will." Ash took a deep breath. Although he could survive without breathing with his ability, the habits he maintained during his mortal period could not be changed easily.
"I'll leave him to you. Protect him well." Karisha looked at Ye Lin who was standing beside her.
"Yeah." Ye Lin nodded slightly: "Why do you have to act so affectionate? It's not like you won't see me in your dreams."
"You don't have to leave Ash, so of course you won't feel as reluctant as I do." Carissa rolled her eyes at Ye Lin.
At this moment, a ray of moonlight appeared in front of Ye Lin. Ye Lin received the information inside, and his face turned ugly. He glared at Karishan fiercely: "You are such a jinx!"
Hearing Ye Lin's somewhat exasperated tone, Karisan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"What happened?" Ash asked.
"The Nordel Empire is showing signs of corruption. Madam has realized that it must be the Lord Tzeentch who is at work, so He wants me to be the closest to deal with it." Ye Lin said.
The Nordel Empire is a relatively powerful empire and the territory of the Church of Night. If something happens there, it really needs a divinely chosen person to deal with it.
"I understand. You go first. I'll go back by myself." said Ash.
"Is it too late?" Ye Lin asked, "How about I take you there first?"
"There's still time." Ash said, "I'm not slow either."
"Yeah." Ye Lin lowered her head and gave Ash some time to suffocate.
"I'm leaving first."
After pursing her rosy lips, Ye Lin disappeared in an instant.
"It's time for me to reunite with my companions." Karisan transformed into her true form, "See you tonight, little man."
"See you tonight." Ash nodded.
Watching the two chosen ones by God leave, Ash didn't feel any reluctance, after all, he could still see them in his dreams.
After identifying the direction, Ash started on his way, and each step took him a hundred meters.
August 1236, 8 of the Iron Calendar, Hongshan Mountains.
Ash went down a passage.
The first thing he did after returning to Hongshan City was to refine the blazing red dragon.
Coming to the body of the Blazing Red Dragon, Ash put his hand on the Blazing Red Dragon and then pulled it.
He dragged the dragon corpse weighing hundreds of tons.
The magma rolled, and the complete body of the flaming red dragon was completely dragged ashore.
The Heavenly Punishment Water Melting quickly decomposed and melted the dragon corpse as Ash had expected. All the essence of the body was melted into the dragon wings and spine, and the waste at the corners was melted into a crown.
As the Fire of Heavenly Punishment ignited, Ash took out the wings and spine from the gem demon, and then took out the wings and spine of another blazing red dragon, and melted them again with the wings and spine that had just been melted.
Soon, a pair of ferocious dark red wings and a dark red stick appeared in Ash's hands.
Leaving the underground, Ash came to the valley where the second body was located.
In the valley, a shuttle-shaped hull about a hundred meters long, wide in the middle and narrow at both ends, has taken shape, and the second body is holding tools to shape the hull.
Ash came to both sides of the ship, placed the refined wings into the reserved holes, and inserted them one on each side.
Then he went to the bottom of the ship and pressed the stick down.
The stick began to grow and expand, quickly filling the empty space.
The Fire of Divine Punishment ignited again, and Ash worked with his second body to melt the hull again, making them completely integrated.
The last step is enchantment, which is a very huge project.
Fortunately, he still has time. According to the plan, the civil war in the Blazing Principality will not be decided until at least November.
Although he estimated that what would eventually be born from the Blazing Principality would not be very big, Ash did not intend to miss this opportunity.
After all, the whereabouts of other evil gods or gods' chosen ones are very difficult to find. Since there is one in front of us, we should naturally eat him up first.
In a hall, people dressed in luxurious clothes were toasting each other and chatting happily, but everyone's eyes kept sweeping towards a circle, which was the circle of people with the highest status among them.
And today, there is one more person in this circle.
"Mr. Su Qin, thank you for your strategy, which has brought the Flame Flower and Iron Tree into our army's control." A handsome man with black hair and red eyes raised his glass to a middle-aged man full of elegant temperament, "Come, I'll toast you a glass."
"This is what I should do. I don't deserve your thanks." The middle-aged man bowed to refuse.
"You deserve it." The man insisted on toasting, but the middle-aged man Su Qin insisted on refusing.
After repeated refusals and reluctances, the middle-aged man Su Qin finally drank the glass of wine reluctantly.
After seeing Su Qin drink the wine, the current Chiyan great prince Drey smiled.
During the conversation, Drey suddenly asked, "Mr. Su Qin, what do you think of the Blazing Crown now?"
These days, a rumor has been circulating throughout the Blazing Principality, that is, a crown made from the horn of a Blazing Red Dragon has been born, and whoever can get it will become the Grand Duke of the Blazing Principality.
Su Qin smiled and said, "Whoever gets it will be the Grand Duke's crown? Only the common people would believe this rumor."
Then Su Qin pondered for a moment and said, "But if possible, I still suggest that you get it."
"Why?" Dre asked.
"Because you can't get it, it's fake, but if you get it, it's real." Su Qin said, "This will benefit you and not harm you."
"That makes sense." Dre said, "But how to get it is a problem. No one has ever seen the crown."
"Why must someone see it, sir?" Su Qin showed a meaningful smile and pointed at a glass of water. "Sir, do you think this is a glass of water or a glass of wine?"
"Of course it is." Dray glanced at it and was about to say water, but then he suddenly came to his senses and said, "Of course it is wine."
Su Qin raised his cup and drank: "Then I would like to thank the king for the wine."
"Hahaha!" Dre suddenly laughed out loud. "With Mr. Su Qin's help, I have no reason to worry about not accomplishing my great cause!"
Dre did not lower his voice when he said this. Everyone looked at Su Qin with admiration, knowing that this strategist who had only joined for more than half a year was truly valued by Dre.
A few days later, news came that Dre's third son was trapped in a cave while clearing out a group of bandits. In the end, he came out safely and got the rumored flaming crown.
After verification, it was found that the flaming crown was indeed made of the horn of a flaming red dragon, and the third son of Drey presented it to his father.
In the hall, Drey sat in the highest position. He glanced at the young man below, and then glanced at Su Qin who was calm and composed next to him.
He didn't expect Su Qin to place the bet so early, and he wasn't dead yet.
But that's okay, at least he is not really without desires. Dre took over the blood-red crown, and the faint pressure made him a little surprised.
He thought the crown was fake, but now he sees that at least the material is real and it is made of real dragon horns.
When Dre put on the crown, the audience cheered:
"Long live my king!"
"Long live my king!"
"Long live my king!"
The cheers made Dray feel proud, and the snake tattoo under his clothes became more winding and slender. Su Qin looked at Dray quietly, feeling the increasingly disgusting aura.
Don’t be in a hurry, don’t be in a hurry. It’s just like eating stinky tofu. It smells stinky but tastes delicious.
Ash comforted himself in this way through Su Qin's blood spirit clone.
After the contribution, people dispersed, and Drey's third son Dick walked side by side with Su Qin.
On the way, Dick asked in confusion: "Mr. Su Qin, why do you want to help me?"
Just four days ago, the famous Mr. Su Qin was found and said that there was a way for him to inherit his father's position. Dick was tempted and acted according to Su Qin's words, which led to what happened today.
"In terms of status, my eldest brother has the highest position; in terms of connections, my second sister has the widest network." Dick said, "In terms of martial arts, my fourth brother is the strongest. No matter how you choose, you shouldn't choose me."
Su Qin said slowly: "Because I have no choice. Your eldest brother is arrogant, your second sister is greedy, your fourth brother is bloodthirsty, and your other brothers and sisters are too young to handle the big things."
"Oh, then what does sir want from me?" Dick said. He knew that there was no love without reason. Su Qin wanted to help him, so naturally he hoped to get something from him.
"Just be a good duke," Su Qin said.
Dick smiled bitterly, "My father is in the prime of life. Sir, if you want to see me become a Grand Duke, you'll have to wait."
"That's not necessarily true." Su Qin smiled mysteriously, "Well, the battle is about to begin, go and lead your regiment to prepare."
Not necessarily? Dick paused and looked at Su Qin in disbelief. He wanted to ask loudly what this meant. Was he cursing his father to die early?
But after looking at the guards and maids in the distance, Dick fell silent.
After what Dick did today, he naturally became a thorn in the eyes of the other heirs and trouble started to come his way.
Either supplies were delayed or relatives were arrested for committing crimes. Dick was so busy that Su Qin just watched from the side and only helped when Dick was unable to do so.
Time passed slowly, and Ash made a flying ship while exploring the dream world.
{Achievement: [Ninth-order Dream Beast Nemesis] achieved, reward: achievement points*37/talent-type inherent skills greatly enhanced once}
{Activate achievement [Tenth-order Dream Beast Nemesis]: Hunt down 0/3 tenth-order dream beasts.}
Ash received the reward and, as planned, chose to strengthen [Heart of Killing].
[Heart of Killing] Killing is in your life, and your fighting instinct increases significantly.
On this day, Ash stopped in front of a dream cave. After passing through the dream cave, he arrived at the 100th floor, the real core of the dream world.
Here, one can even see the regrets left behind by the ancient legendary demigods.
Ash traveled into the Dream Cave, and surprisingly, he didn't see the Guardian of the Dream Cave.
Even though he foresaw the future forty seconds later, he still did not see the Guardian of the Dream Cave.
This made Ash click his tongue in dissatisfaction, because the Dream Cave Guardian was also considered a dream beast. Killing it would complete one-third of the task of becoming a tenth-level dream beast killer.
"I hope it'll be easier to find." Ash muttered. The further down he went, the rarer the dream beasts became. Even with the help of future vision, he might not be able to hunt down a ninth-level dream beast every time.
When it reaches the tenth level, it will obviously be even more difficult to find.
{Achievement: [If you are a man, go down to the next 46 floors] achieved, reward: achievement points*}
"Another mine has been mined." Ash sighed as he looked at the achievements that had not been activated.
The further you go, the fewer achievements you can activate. After all, the period of benefits for novices, where you could get achievements by doing anything, has passed.
'Maybe I should try something new.'
Ash thought.
Yaxiu glanced at the achievement points, 445. A ninth-level dream beast could only provide more than nine thousand progress for the dream beast hunter. Although it was hard to find, now there was a stable achievement point every half a month.
Since there is no guardian of the dream cave here, Ash has to drive the Courageous to search for the tenth-level dream beast elsewhere.
But the rarity of tenth-level dream beasts far exceeded Ash's expectations. It was not until November that he found two, and the rest were all ninth-level.
January 1236, 11 Iron Calendar
Because of the instigation of some people, the original twenty-seven princes died or were disabled after a year of bloody fighting. In the end, only four princes were still alive and occupied the four directions.
On this day, they launched a fierce battle over the former royal city's Fiery City.
Four thousand meters in the sky, a flying iron ship hundreds of meters long and with two wings was suspended there. The scorching sun shone on the hull, and the excessive heat was directly transferred to the core power furnace, leaving only some heat to keep the hull at a suitable temperature.
On the lower outside, some lines glowed faintly, distorting the surrounding light and making it invisible.
The iron ship is named Tianyang, a flying iron ship that Ash spent several months making.
Ash sat in the center, absorbing the excess energy generated by the fusion of the power reactor while using projection to check the battle situation below.
Looking at the battlefield below where spells and fighting skills were flying everywhere, Ash felt a little regretful because there were too few people.
Because of the existence of extraordinary people, ordinary people have little influence on the war situation, so the world has changed and formed a new kind of legion to face the war.
A warband is an extraordinary legion composed entirely of professionals. During wartime they are a warband, and during truce they are an adventurer's guild.
This also means that even if a small country has a population of millions, it is rare in this world to involve 100,000 or more people in a war.
Originally, Ash wanted to use this opportunity to defeat the enemy with fewer troops, but now he thought better of it.
There are tens of thousands of people, and there are four forces. It cannot be accomplished by joining any of the forces.
Fortunately, some special achievements can still be achieved.
Yaxiu's attention was directed to a clone, who was now using the pseudonym Pan Feng and serving as a general among the princes.
As soon as the battle started, Pan Feng rode his horse towards the enemy's battle formation.
Seeing Pan Feng's reckless behavior, both parties were stunned for a moment and turned to ask for information.
"Whose people are these?" the commanders of both sides asked at the same time.
The people below looked at each other, and then someone from our side said that he was the person arranged by military advisor Zhang Yi.
After the enemy failed to obtain any information, the enemy commander said contemptuously: "It looks like another young man who has been blinded by the rush. Let's form a battle formation and teach this young man a lesson."
"Yes!"
The fighting groups formed a formation, and their fighting spirits were connected, making everyone's aura connected as one.
Seeing Pan Feng getting closer and closer, the enemy general raised his spear.
"kill!"
"Roar!"
The sound was like thunder, and a huge roar suddenly burst out from Pan Feng's mouth, which actually suppressed the shouts of all the enemies.
Raising the long axe in his hand, Pan Feng chopped it with force. The axe was like a huge mountain, fiercely chopping down the enemy general's spear.
boom!
The commander flew backwards, he was directly blown away by Pan Feng's axe. The core failed and the battle formation was immediately broken. All the members of that battle group immediately felt the breath surge and felt very uncomfortable.
{Achievement: [Breakthrough] achieved, reward: inherent skill: [Defense Aura]}
[Defense Aura]: When activated, your own and your teammates' defense will be slightly improved within a 100-meter range.
But this is not the end yet. Pan Feng continued to chase the main general, and the surrounding battle group members also reacted and surrounded Pan Feng.
Spears pierced through him, arrows attacked him, but Pan Feng withstood the attacks and came to the main general.
One axe, two axes, three axes, the enemy general was chopped down directly by Pan Feng.
{Achievement · [Kill the General] Completed, Reward: Inherent Skill · [Power Aura]}
[Strength Aura]: After being turned on, the strength of yourself and your teammates within a 100-meter radius will be slightly increased.
Is this the end?
Pan Feng turned his gaze towards the flags fluttering in the distance.
"Roar!"
With another thunderous roar, Pan Feng spread his legs and rushed towards the flag.
The big horse under his crotch had died in the siege.
Seeing such a brave Pan Feng, his own people were stunned. They did not expect that the people arranged by Military Advisor Zhang Yi would be so brave.
The commander of his own army was also puzzled. He asked in surprise, "Whose general is this? How could he be so brave?"
A bookish young man next to him said, "This is my cousin, Pan Feng. He is temporarily assigned to the Fire Wave Regiment to perform meritorious services."
"Mr. Zhang Yi's cousin?" The commander sighed, "Why didn't you recommend him to me earlier? Otherwise, with his bravery, it would be feasible to set up another regiment."
"I'm afraid that my subordinates will not accept my sudden rise to a high position." Zhang Yi said, "Sir, you should focus on this battle first. Whether we win or not is related to our return to orthodoxy."
"Yeah, that's right!" The commander nodded, then gave the order for the entire army to immediately launch an attack on the enemy.
He also saw this as an opportunity, because Pan Feng's sudden behavior had caused a loophole in the enemy's defense line. If he didn't charge now, when would he attack?
Boom boom boom!
The war drum was beating hard, and the rhythm of the drum was like the axe in Pan Feng's hand. Every time it chopped down, someone would die.
With blood all over his armor, Pan Feng finally rushed to the flag and swung the axe hard.
Snapped!
The flag fell down immediately.
{Achievement · [Capture the Flag] Completed, Reward: Inherent Skill · [Agility Aura]}
[Agility Aura]: After being turned on, the speed of yourself and your teammates will be slightly increased within a range of 100 meters.
{【Breakthrough】, 【Kill the General】, 【Capture the Flag】 Chain, Reward: Inherent Skill · 【Aura of Will】}
[Will Aura]: After being activated, the willpower of yourself and your teammates within a 100-meter range will be slightly improved.
{It is detected that the skills · [Defense Aura], [Strength Aura], [Agility Aura] and [Will Aura] have the possibility of combined sublimation. Do you want to consume 4 achievement points to combine and sublimate?}
Yes!
[Achievement Points: 449-》445]
{The combination of Skills · [Defense Aura], Skills · [Strength Aura], Skills · [Agility Aura] and Skills [Will Aura] has been successfully sublimated, and the inherent skill · [Heroic Aura] has been solidified.}
[Heroic Aura]: After being turned on, it will slightly improve all attributes of yourself and your teammates. Range = personal level multiplied by 10 (meters).
Ash tried to turn it on, but the increase was minimal for him, less than one percent. In terms of energy utilization efficiency, the cost-effectiveness was also average.
However, if used on a group, the cost-effectiveness is high. I just don’t know if it will be useful or merged in the future.
Asking for a monthly ticket!
Thanks to [I am a sincere person] for the reward of 1600 points.
