Chapter 220 Weapon Field, Expand!
"So what does this have to do with me?" Adam asked.
Caesar shook his head: "What happens next has something to do with you."
"In fact, I have been paying attention to the Wall of Sighs for a long time. I will not forget the mission of the Golden Clan. However, I am old. The power of my bloodline has made me a fourth-level extraordinary person, allowing me to smoothly take over the imperial scepter, but that's all."
"The demons have begun to stir. If the final moment comes, the entire continent will be slaughtered," Caesar said, "The human race needs the power of gold!"
"And my daughter, Irina, has a powerful talent and has awakened the power of her golden bloodline since she was a child. She is the destined savior of the world."
"I have observed you, your bravery, your justice, your courage. I know that you have been accumulating strength to resist the demons. Master Zoya has mentioned your ideals several times."
'Zoya?'
Adam's eyes softened for a moment, which was quickly noticed by Caesar.
"Master Zoya is someone I have always admired. The team she was in once stepped into the abyss and injured the demon king, which gave the human race a chance to breathe." Caesar sighed.
"What should I do?" Adam looked at the dagger.
"I need you to stab this sword into my chest. It will absorb my golden blood. Then you will give the dagger to Irina. The power of the blood will be transferred through this sword, and she will become more powerful."
"It's a pity that my two sons didn't awaken their bloodlines, but fortunately Irina is still here," Caesar said with pride, "but growth takes time. If I die, the empire will surely be in chaos. I need to create a powerful enemy for the empire to help Irina integrate the power of the empire."
"And you are the best choice," Caesar sighed. "I know this will be very risky, but the empire has decayed, and those who sit in high positions now are a bunch of pigs. Without blood and death, they will not wake up."
Adam took the dagger without saying a word.
"I will then withdraw most of the palace's defense forces and help you escape. With your strength, you can fully support the scattered forces of the empire. As long as Irina becomes queen, the will I leave behind will tell the people of the empire everything. By then, you will become a hero, or even a royal consort, and share power with Irina." Caesar said.
"It would be best if you could help me kill Edmund. Over the years, we have been working together to implement various bills. He has shouldered too much bad reputation for me," he said. "But if I die, I'm afraid Irina won't be able to suppress him. I hope you can help my old brother."
As Caesar said this, he sighed, as if he was a ruthless emperor who was worried about his offspring and wanted to clear the obstacles for them, so he had to kill his good brother.
Adam smiled and said, "Don't use these words to bind me. I am not interested in becoming a royal consort. If Your Majesty really wants me to help, then you should pay me an equal amount."
"Of course there is. I just told you the story of the golden tree. My ancestor took the magic potion made from the golden apples by the sage and had a long life. If the remaining power of the abyss wasn't too strong, he wouldn't have died!" Caesar said.
"The sage at that time developed a potion based on the power of the golden bloodline. Through a crude reproduction, it could give people a sufficiently long lifespan."
Adam paused: "Do you have a potion?"
Caesar shook his head: "If I had it, I wouldn't be this old now, but the potion recipe has been preserved. After Irina becomes stronger, I can use her bloodline to develop a lower-grade potion, which can at least extend my lifespan by a few hundred years!"
"Of course, there is another way."
"any solution?"
“Find the place of origin, pray to the golden tree, and obtain the golden apple!”
Adam couldn't help laughing: "After all the talk, it's still empty talk. Is the empire really supported by your Majesty's eloquence?"
"The prescription is just one of the items. I am only telling you its importance," Caesar said with a smile, "The treasury of the empire is completely open to you. As long as you want, everything can be given to you."
After some bargaining, Adam picked and chose the empire's savings and finally reached a consensus.
"Deal then?" he asked. Caesar presented the prescription and the treasure: "Deal."
It was not until they left the capital that Adam revealed a hint of a smile.
Twelve Glories (12/12): Completed
The final gift: Golden Apple (to be claimed)
PS: Golden apple in the morning, long life, powerful strength, just eat one apple, is this reasonable? In addition, it is best to find a powerful and trustworthy potion master. I remember you knew a silly elf.
Ever since the battle at Jero Fortress, when he rushed into the portal, the mission of the Twelve Glories had been completed, but he had no idea how to make the potion, and the power of the fourth level was not fully activated. He should wait until everything was ready before taking it, and he didn't want the potion prescription to be delivered to his door.
"Now we just need to wait for Yuffie to grow up."
Adam thought that there was no other candidate, even Filia was not trustworthy, but Yufei was more suitable.
He glanced at the palace behind him and sneered in his heart.
"Poor eloquence, poor plan to kill someone by borrowing a knife, do you really think I did all that to become a hero? Do you love your daughter too much? I think I did it all for myself!"
Time returns to the present.
"It seems that Viscount, you have already noticed something?" Caesar grabbed Irina tightly beside him.
"Yes, I really can't believe that a king who rules an empire would be a man who loves his children and is ruthless yet kind," Adam sighed. "I would rather believe that you are a selfish and heartless emperor who can kill his children just to save his own life."
Caesar opened his arms and laughed: "I am doing this for the survival of the empire and for the inheritance of the human race."
"Irina is too immature. She has a talent for commanding troops, but knows nothing about political struggles. If she succeeds to the throne, she will soon drag the empire into the quagmire of war."
"So, I should live on," he looked at Adam, "We are the pathetic human race. No matter how hard we struggle, we can only survive for a few hundred years. The elves can watch the empire being established and the empire collapsing. We are just insignificant dust in history. This is the tragedy of short-lived species."
The barrier outside the banquet was solid, imprisoning everyone. The extraordinary people who were still struggling with Adam's magic weapon suddenly changed direction and killed many nobles.
"These pigs have golden blood flowing in their bodies after their marriage with the royal family. As long as I integrate their blood into myself, I will break through the boundaries of short-lived species, and the empire will welcome its eternal king!" Caesar said as he looked at the beheaded second prince.
"As for you," Caesar turned to Adam, "you are the culprit who dared to assassinate the emperor and caused the death of many nobles in the empire, Viscount Adam Sovis. I will bury you properly after everything is settled."
He thrust the dagger hard into Irina's chest.
Adam Zhan stood there and looked at Caesar: "Then do you think there is another possibility?"
"That means... I'm better than you?"
Ripples appeared in the void behind him, and swords and weapons slowly flew out, each carrying a powerful aura.
"Thank you very much for the gift, Your Majesty. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take me to fill my treasury." Adam bowed slightly.
Then thousands of weapons were launched.
