Chapter 502: New Race
other side
city of saint franc
A large old ruin in the city.
Although this place is called a ruin, it is not the usual ruins and overgrown weeds. Instead, it has been cleaned up and it just looks very dilapidated.
The reason why the ruins are also being cleaned is because this is the former site of the Duke of Sheffield's palace.
The Sheffield family has been around for nearly a thousand years, and this dilapidated Duke's Palace also accompanied their family for the first 600 years.
During this time, this weather-beaten castle has been repaired many times and has been serving the Sheffield family conscientiously. However, no matter how well maintained it is, it will eventually succumb to the erosion of time.
It was eventually abandoned by the Sheffield family and completely abandoned.
Because this old castle has accompanied dozens of members of the Sheffield family, it has special meaning for them.
Therefore, although the Sheffield family moved into the new Duke's Palace 300 years ago, they still retain it and arrange for regular cleaning.
At this time, a pond had accumulated in the basement of the ruins due to year-round water leakage.
A burst of red light suddenly lit up at the bottom of the pond, lighting up the entire basement.
"Wow!"
As the red light lit up, an old man in white robes emerged from the water.
"Hoo, ho, ho!"
After the old man came out of the water, he gasped for air, then suddenly threw his head back and laughed.
"Hahaha……"
"Thank you ancestors for protecting me and leaving this eternal anchor point, hahaha..."
"Ethan, just wait, I will only do one thing in the rest of my life, and that is to kill everyone in your family."
"Morik!"
As Elisius called, an emerald ring on his hand flashed and turned into a short and ugly humanoid creature.
The height of this creature is only about the waist of an adult, and its skin is a dark green color, like a rotten leaf that has not seen sunlight for a long time, with an unhealthy sheen.
Its head is disproportionately large and its forehead is protruding, with a hint of cunning and malice.
The small tawny eyes shone with greed, and the nose was flat and blunt, like a ball of crumpled soil.
The mouth was wide, with saliva hanging from the corners that had never been wiped off, revealing a few sharp, yellowed teeth.
The ears are long and pointed, extending back like bat wings.
The limbs are slender but flexible, covered with sparse black hair, and the fingers and toes have long, sharp nails, like the claws of a predator.
Wearing tattered animal skins, a rusty dagger hangs from his waist.
"Master! Morik obeys your call!" As soon as the creature appeared, he immediately expressed his loyalty.
"Find the exit!"
"yes!"
The apostle named Morik responded and dived into the water to find the exit.
After a while, it dived back from the water and said: "Master, the exit has been found, please follow me."
The two dived together, Elisius following Mork closely.
At this time, a simple scale suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air.
Eli Houston's eyes widened with horror on his face, because he recognized it as the "Scale of Destiny" at a glance.
Is someone competing with me as an apostle?
Who is it?
Before he could figure it out, a blue light shot out from his forehead and landed on the tray of the scale.
As the golden man on the tray on the other side pressed the tray down with a crushing force, he felt as if his chest had been hit hard by a hammer, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Elisius quickly came out of the water, put one hand on his chest, and shouted: "Unless Ethan kills you, I am invincible!"
"Master! What's wrong with you?" Morik saw his master vomiting blood and hurried over to help.
"Ethan launched a sequence on me..."
"Pfft"
"ah……"
Before Elisius could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his waist, and bright red blood rose from the water.
Taking a closer look, he saw Morik staring at him ferociously, with his rusty dagger stuck in his waist.
"How dare you...?"
Elisius couldn't believe that his apostle actually plotted against him.
"Asshole!"
He roared, raised his magic shield, and at the same time raised his hand to shoot 5 arcane missiles at Morik.
But as soon as Morik succeeded in the attack, he jumped out of the water, and then his limbs were stuck to the ceiling like a spider, and he quickly climbed into the darkness.
The arcane missiles could not find their target and exploded in all directions, shaking the basement and almost causing it to collapse.
Elisius was already exhausted, but now he received another fatal blow, and his vision suddenly became blurry.
"Why? Why did you betray me?" The angry voice echoed in the quiet and dark basement.
"Master, don't blame me, it was you who betrayed your oath first!
Since you can sacrifice [Scavenger], you can also sacrifice me. I don’t want to die in such a miserable way like [Scavenger]. "
"Idiot! I'm dead! You will die with me too!"
"No no!" A low and mocking voice sounded: "You humans have always thought that the apostles will die with their masters, but that is just an illusion.
As long as the person remains, there will be no real death for us.
What you did has violated the apostle's taboo. Even if I don't kill you, any apostle who sees you will kill you!
Also, let me tell you another secret.
Like the dragons back then, I have the ability to reproduce. As long as I reproduce with native creatures once, I can transform into your human form.
Once your personality changes, even if you die, I will not die with you!
Haha...I really want to thank you for providing me with the woman in the first place.
Ha ha……
In the future, like the Dragon Clan, I will breed a powerful race and completely trample you dirty humans under my feet.
Ha ha……"
Elisius could no longer hear what the other party was saying at this time. He only felt that his body was getting colder and his consciousness was getting blurry.
"No!"
"I can't die!"
"I still want to..."
Elisius's voice became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared. Finally, with unwillingness and anger, he slowly sank into the water.
…
Two hours later, a golden figure came to the ruins.
"Master! This is it! If he can escape from the plane, he can only do it from here.
In the basement beneath the ruins, there is an eternal anchor! Apostle Gibson, whom Ethan had just accepted, said angrily: "It's just that it's been so long, he must have run away long ago!" "
"No!" Ethan shook his head and smiled: "I can feel that he is still here."
Gibson was shocked: "Master, can you feel it?"
Ethan nodded: "Two people who have launched a sequence battle can sense each other as long as they get closer.
It's just that he was a little strange, knowing that I was coming, but he didn't move.
Probably injured. Forget it, let’s go down and take a look first. "
After saying that, Ethan rushed down immediately.
When the two rushed to the basement, they saw Eliseus' body sinking to the bottom of the water.
The two dragged the body to the ground, and after careful inspection, they discovered a huge wound on Eliseus's lower back.
The wound penetrated his kidney, and the weapon that caused the wound seemed to be highly poisonous, because the blood that flowed out was black.
"Who did it?"
"I don't know!" Gibson looked at his former owner with emotion.
"Forget it!" Ethan smiled: "It doesn't matter who did it, as long as he dies, let's go!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan spread his wings and turned into a stream of light and flew away.
Ethan didn't know that his lack of care would create a race that would wreak havoc on mankind in the future.
People call this race——[Goblin]!
