At night, a noble mansion in the royal capital was brightly lit, and the burning whale oil lamp almost made the entire mansion unable to find a dark corner at night.

Such extravagant use of expensive whale oil lamps can only be done by the top nobles of the kingdom.

And this mansion is more like a weakened version of the castle. The high corner building is not bad, but the height is not so exaggerated.

Teams of guards in heavy armor are constantly patrolling, and there is no possibility of sneaking in except for hard breaking.

Although the orcs did not come in, with the encouragement of the kingdom, many great nobles expanded their weapons.

The nobles who used to infiltrate the Royal Capital Guard Corps to master their armament simply expanded a group of professional soldiers in a just and fair manner, or directly put on the armament that was originally placed under the table.

The lights in this house were actually a bit abnormal in the middle of the night, but they did not cause any suspicion.

Hundreds of years of tranquility, the upper-class nobles of the royal capital have long exhausted their minds to have fun and talk about ostentation.

Like Marquis Dominic who greeted Richard at the gate of the city before, although he was respectful when facing Richard, in fact, Wang Du was famous for his extravagance and arrogance.

The Dominic family is best known for dressing all their servants in the most fashionable and luxurious clothes.

A white dress made of finely woven cashmere and down, this kind of luxurious clothes that no little aristocrats in the North could not wear, is the daily uniform of the Dominica maids.

The thorn-gold fire-colored brocade clothes are the daily attire of the Dominic family servants.

If you walk into the mansion of the Marquis of Dominica, you can see a group of people dressed as nobles doing the work of the servants, and there are even cases where the guests and the servants of the Dominica family bump into shirts, which makes the Marquis of Dominica very proud.

What else likes sex, and even the perverts who take pleasure in torturing people are not uncommon.

In comparison, the act of burning money just like lighting the whale oil lamp and turning the night of the mansion into the daytime seems to be normal.

It's just that compared to the brightness on the surface, there are unspeakable sins hidden in the bunker deep in the mansion.

More than ten meters below the mansion, a huge underground space was excavated. It was humid and depressing, and torches hung on both sides of the corridor could not dispel the coldness of the underground space.

As long as you enter this underground space, you can smell a strong smell of blood.

In the middle of this underground space, there is a strange symbol drawn, a bright red mark dipped in some dark green paint, just looking at this shape is indescribably scary.

And around this terrifying pattern stood a row of soldiers with armor covering their faces, with only one pair of eyes showing on their entire faces, and there was an indescribable enthusiasm in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, you are ready."

In the circle of people, the only person wearing a cloth robe was the kingdom marquis who planned to attack Richard.

"Well, let's get started!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

"Who are you!"

"Damn!"

"How dare you kidnap a knight!"

"Let me out! Our family has money, as long as you let me out, you can have as many Jinnars as you want!"

"I'm the leader of the volunteer team. If I'm gone, someone will definitely come to find me. You'd better let me go!"

The old man standing in front gave an order, and around the hall, soldiers escorted people in white prison uniforms into the hall one after another. The prisoners were wearing heavy iron chains on their hands and feet. His wounds were basically incapable of action, and were basically dragged away by soldiers, obviously suffering a lot of torture.

However, some of the prisoners who were brought in were in good spirits. Although there were only more than 20 people, the noisy voice made the depressing space a little more lively.

Some of them yelled at the people around them, some still had a glimmer of hope, thinking about a chance to be redeemed, and some of them were pale and heartbroken. Although they opened their eyes, they had no hope at all.

The only thing these people have in common is that they were originally good knights.

No matter how loud these people were, they couldn't resist, and their threats were not taken seriously by those present.

The Marquis is basically the top noble in the kingdom. With the power of this old man, killing a few knights silently will not cause any disturbance.

It took some time to capture these more than 20 knights without leaving any traces.

Moreover, they are also quite cautious in their actions. None of these captured knights have a deep background. Basically, they are mainly landless knights from outside. There are no acquaintances in the capital and no one will care too much about the disappearance of the foundation.

The so-called volunteer team leader of a thousand people is just a temporary cannon fodder military post. Now that the orc crisis is over, who cares about the volunteer team that was organized before? Most of the so-called volunteer teams are young people from all walks of life in the capital. It is impossible for the strong people to organize for a long time. Most of them were dismissed under Ren's order not long ago. If it is an officer of the Guards, it may make these top nobles a little scruples. At least someone will be held accountable if something goes wrong. .

In front of the common people, even these knights without background are still high above the existence. In front of the top nobles such as the marquis, the common people who they have no face are so noble.

"It's time to start."

These knights scolded or begged for mercy, but they did not affect the movements of the sergeant who was escorting them. When they were dragged to the strange symbol in the center, the old marquis gave an order, and the sergeant who was escorting them took out from his pockets. Out of the dagger, easily cut their throats.

Some people struggled to resist, and some even flashed a trace of vindictiveness on their bodies, twisting their waists a few times, but they were completely useless, and they were tightly tied with ropes. Even an ordinary person can It's easy to kill them, not to mention the well-trained sergeants who do it.

Blood flowed from the severed throat to the ground, and the person who had been scolding could only whimper intermittently at this time, and was pressed to the ground by the sergeants and unable to move.

Twenty knights could completely set up the framework of a flag regiment. They did not die in the battle with the orcs, but died silently in this secret underground space.

As the twenty knights gradually lost their vital signs, the blood penetrated into the strange symbols, and the blood on the ground became thicker and thicker, and finally a faint light appeared.

"continue!"

The old man frowned at the scene in front of him, and seemed dissatisfied, and then ordered the deep corridor.

Soon, more people were brought in.

"let me out!"

"Who are you!"

"Hey!"

"what!"

This time, the sergeants brought in ordinary people, but there were more than a hundred people. They wore shabby linen clothes on their bodies. They were all civilians who lived at the bottom, and these people had no background. , the sergeants took them into the **** light and slashed with their knives.

The strange symbols on the ground seemed to have been activated by the blood of the previous twenty knights, and they began to actively draw blood from the human body. The blood of hundreds of people was drained in a short period of time.

At the same time, the previously faint red light also became prosperous, and phantoms moved in the light and shadow, as if something was about to appear.

At this time, some changes finally appeared on the face of the old man Gujing Wubo.

"Go back!"

After ordering the sergeants to step back, the old man took a few steps forward excitedly, stopped in front of the blood-colored phantom, and slumped on the ground.

"Great Lord Diabo, your blood patrons have offered you fresh sacrifices!"

"Who is calling the great demon lord Diabo?"

The sudden sound, like a low thunder, made the people around them a little scared.

The phantom in the red light gradually solidified. Although he couldn't see the opponent's skin color, he could vaguely see a pair of thick horns on the opponent's head that seemed to be an elder.

"The Bakken family?"

The Bakken family is one of the great human races that has been passed down for thousands of years. It has been prosperous since the end of the Elf Empire. It has existed for longer than the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

Everyone knows that the ancestors of the Bakken family followed Aragorn to obtain the title of marquis, but they did not know that the Bakken family was once one of the bloodline nobles that dominated mankind.

Before the rise of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, the rulers of humans were blood nobles like the Bakken family.

The so-called blood nobles are a group of human beings with special blood flowing in their bodies. Their blood is not aristocratic blood blown out in modern society, but has real special abilities.

In the early years of human beings, the blood nobles were basically descendants of demons.

Demons were still active during the heyday of the Elf Empire, and often came to the continent from a special abyss. Some demons had similar aesthetics to humans and elves. They couldn't provoke elves in their heyday, but humans suffered, and many mixed blood That's how humans were born.

This part of human beings with demon blood inherited part of the demon's ability, and also inherited the demon's irritable, cruel, and chaotic temperament.

Because of the powerful blood of demons, this part of humans with demon blood in their bodies has many times stronger power than ordinary humans, and it is even easier to get in touch with abyss demons to make deals, and they can borrow the power of demons at any time.

With strong military support, after the demise of the Elf Empire, the bloodline nobles gradually became the early rulers of mankind.

However, although the blood of the devil can bring powerful power, it will also make people more tyrannical. The rule of the blood nobles over human beings can basically be described in four words, which is very unpopular.

As the depletion of magic power intensified, the bloodline nobles first lost contact with the abyss demon, and then their own bloodline power was extremely difficult to stimulate, and was quickly overthrown after the Aragorn uprising.

The Bakken family saw the opportunity early, and took the initiative to join Aragorn, only to get the position of a marquis in the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

The ancestors of the Bakken family did not say how loyal they were to Aragorn, but on the surface, they had no second thoughts. Later, with a little strength and cultivation bonus of the demon blood, they made a lot of contributions in the war and stabilized their position.

However, the Marquis of Bakken of this generation happened to encounter a magical recovery, not only reactivating his own demon blood, but also finding a way to connect with the abyss demon from the family's books.

The blood of the devil magnifies the greed, tyranny and yearning for chaos in the heart of Marquis Bakken.

Restoring the rule of the bloodline nobles became one of his goals.

"Great Lord Diabo, please give your descendants stronger power."

"The breath of reality, fresh blood, and soul."

The red demon sucked hard, and the blood around it was quickly consumed, and in an instant there was only a corpse left.

Then, the demon seemed to become more solid, he looked at the Marquis of Bakken and said:

"The abyss pays attention to equivalent exchange. The sacrifices you contribute are not enough to exchange for powerful power."

After all, the devil actually looked like he was about to leave.

"Great Lord Diabo, give me some more power, and I can open a passage to reality for you."

"Oh?"

Hearing that it can enter reality, the devil immediately became interested.

"My lord, all the signs show that the magic power is recovering, and the magic circle connecting the abyss has been opened."

"Do you have a way to open the abyss circle?"

"As long as there is enough blood, and this opportunity is coming soon, I can provoke a human infighting right away, I hope the great Lord Diabo can give me more power~www.mtlnovel .com~ The tone of the Marquis of Bakken's speech is obviously that he did not regard himself as a human being, but has already substituted himself into the role of a demon.

"boom!"

"what!"

Suddenly, the red phantom raised his hand, and a blood bead pierced the skin of Marquis Bakken, and then Marquis Bakken screamed with red face.

The skin of the whole person began to turn red, and the lines on the face became heavier, especially on the hands, there was even scaly skin, and the characteristics of demonization became somewhat obvious.

"Thanks to the great Lord Diabo..."

The Marquis of Bakken, who was delighted to feel his change, did not care about the pain on his body, but bowed respectfully to the ground again, while the phantom of the demon Diabo gradually disappeared.

"You know what will happen if you let a demon lord down."
