69 – Eunice’s Fear

Yang Feng was shocked, he didn’t think that Eunice’s biggest backer, Warlock College Antalya’s dean Starlight Aldrich, was actually the person that she wants the most to kill. He almost thought that he had heard wrongly or that Eunice was lying. But judging by the feedback from the nano-robots, what Eunice said was the actual truth.

“Why?” Yang Feng snapped his fingers and the strange condition in Eunice’s body faded away.

Eunice panted in relief, her bearing turned gloomy and she whispered: “My mother is my jie-jie.”¹

Yang Feng wasn’t shocked when he heard it. In order to maintain the purity of the blood-meridians and foster the next generation with even more remarkable soul aptitudes. In Turandot Subcontinent, close relatives intermarrying wasn’t anything rare. Many Warlock Clans had a custom of intermarrying close relatives.

Those Warlock Clans that had close relatives intermarrying, it resulted in a lot of their descendants being born with deformities as well as some geniuses with extremely powerful soul aptitudes and remarkably pure blood-meridians. Those deformed descendants were abandoned – while those geniuses who’s blood-meridians were exceptional and pure were groomed.

Eunice was a descendant of Aldrich and his daughter, Yang Feng wasn’t too baffled about that, rather, he somewhat didn’t expect Eunice’s reaction. After all, this was very common in the world of Warlocks.

“My mother gave birth to two daughters, one was my sister, the other one was me. My mother being his daughter was quite common among Warlock Clans, with which I don’t have any disagreement. But the bastard, when I was 8 years old, defiled my sister. Moreover, he extracted her blood-meridians and offered her as a sacrifice to a devil from a strange plane.”

When Eunice spoke to this point, her beautiful eyes were filled with a touch of enmity and fear, her tender body unceasingly shuddered because of fear.

When Yang Feng heard until here, he also couldn’t help and crease his eyebrows.

The world of Warlocks was very cruel, in order to gain power, there was nothing that those Warlocks would be incapable of. Some powerful wicked Warlocks, in order to obtain a small improvement, would even massacre their own descendants and relatives, extract their blood-meridians and use them to promote their own strength. Obviously, Aldrich was a powerful Warlock that didn’t had any scruples when it came to gaining power.

“The power of our clan’s blood-meridians comes from the ancient life form Star Rock Crow from the Star World. After the ancient life form Stars Rock Crow matured, it would be a formidable existence comparable to a level-5 Warlock, Star Warlock, and capable of freely manipulating star force. To this date, the Star Rock Crow’s blood-meridians within our clan had already become very thin. That beast is an extraordinary genius, he only took 300 years to promote to a Great Warlock with the help of the power of his blood-meridians – but then, even after 600 years, he was unable to make another breakthrough.”¹

“In order to get even purer blood-meridians, breaking the shackles of his blood-meridians. The bastard produced a lot of descendants, then extracted the blood-meridians from the descendants with the purest blood-meridians, performed a blood sacrifice and made a deal with a devil from a strange plane, purifying his own blood-meridians.”

“The power of my sister’s blood-meridians was the purest among all of his descendants. With the power of my blood-meridians, even if I don’t try hard. Yet I still can slowly promote to a level-3 Warlock thanks to the power of my blood-meridians – in the future, I even have a gleam of hope to promote to a Great Warlock. That bastard abused and killed my sister.

He is still absorbing the power of her blood-meridians, after he absorbed my sister’s blood-meridians, then it would be my turn.” Eunice’s beautiful eyes flashed with hatred and fear, her body trembling.

Eunice gave Yang Feng a somewhat hateful glance as she whispered with a gloomy face: “As a result, I don’t see anything good in men.”

“This is to say, I’m in big trouble!”

Yang Feng’s complexion became solemn and troubled, he was silent for a moment and then asked: “Aldrich, when will he finish absorbing the power of your sister’s blood-meridians?”

Eunice exposed a smile with a trace of schadenfreude: “Should be within the following few years. I’m a woman reserved by him, as you acted against me, he definitely won’t let you off. These past few years, no one dared to pursue me or be by my side, because those who did, they’re all dead.”

Yang Feng said lightly: “A few years? That’s enough, if he comes after me, then I’ll give him a nice surprise.”

From the information displayed by Nr.3796’s feedback, the prerequisite technological structures for the nuclear weapons had already finished upgrading – moreover, 100 nuclear warheads had already begun being build. If conventional weapons were unable to threaten a Great Warlock, then a nuclear cleansing would definitely be able to give a Great Warlock rank expert a pleasant surprise.

Turandot Subcontinent’s area was extremely vast, even larger than earth’s surface area. And Turandot Subcontinent was merely one of the numerous affiliate subcontinents surrounding the main continent. Even if Turandot Subcontinent was destroyed by a nuclear cleansing, Yang Feng could effortlessly escape to another subcontinents.

With the Portable Fortified Stronghold, Yang Feng could escape to anywhere and then quickly make a comeback. Of course, it was only a last resort, he didn’t want to abandon his base. After all, every territory was under the influence of somebody, once he flees to another territory, then he needs to duke it out with the territory’s owner, compete over resources and living space.

Eunice saw the self-confident Yang Feng, her beautiful eyes flashed with a touch of bewilderment.

Within Turandot Subcontinent, anyone becoming enemies with Starlight Aldrich would feel a great headache. Even among Great Warlock rank experts, there weren’t many people that could be a match for Aldrich. Yang Feng was but a trifling level-3 Apprentice Warlock, yet he didn’t care about the threat of Aldrich – Eunice was very curious, what trump card did he had in order to deal with Aldrich.

Yang Feng acted within, shortly after, two faceless Liquid-Metal Robots walked out from the side.

Yang Feng threw a helmet at Eunice: “Put this helmet on!”

Eunice’s mind shifted and she obediently put on the helmet.

Shortly after, countless information continuously entered Eunice from the helmet.

A faceless Liquid-Metal Robot twisted and quickly took Eunice’s appearance.

“Such a mystical technology. It’s worthy of being Sixth Warlock Dynasty’s mechanical golem.”

The Liquid-Metal Robot possessed by Eunice opened it’s eyes, looked at her body lying beside, took out a mirror and checked carefully for a while, then said with praise.

Each of the Eight Warlock Dynasties had founded matchless and resplendent civilizations, with unique and fascinating technology. The mechanical golem legion of the Sixth Warlock Dynasty belonged to that category.

Eunice creased her eyebrows and said unhurriedly: “The shape is practically the same, but unable of using magic, the perception also can’t compare with that of my body – it’s comparable to a real embodiment spell, although rather lacking. The only advantage is that when one’s strength is weak, one still can use it.”

The means of Warlock were very treacherous, Great Warlock rank experts who had created an embodiment, would have the ability to walk wherever they choose thanks to it. Embodiments refined by some formidable Warlocks could be even more powerful than themselves.

On the other side, Shi Xue also put on a helmet and possessed the other mechanical golem.

1 – jie-jie – older sister, not necessarily related by blood (although they are related by blood, but aren’t sisters…)

2 – it goes as follows: level-5 Warlock = Star Warlock, level-4 Warlock = Great Warlock, level-3 Warlock
