A moment later, Gunali finally woke up. When she woke up, she found that she had returned to her familiar room. Everything around her was so familiar. The familiar decorations and the familiar aura made her feel at ease. She could not help but let out a sigh of relief.
When she saw the two figures standing in front of her, she sat up subconsciously. Her face revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
“Father, Mary!”
She subconsciously ran forward and hugged Malikado. She almost burst into tears.
“I’s okay, it’s okay.”
Malikado patted his daughter’s shoulder and comforted her softly. “No one would dare to hurt you with me here.”
As he spoke, he felt a little guilty in his heart. He had already learned from Mary what Gunali had experienced before. Even though he was just a bystander, he could still feel a thrill from Mary’s description. How can the headquarters of the Red Lotus Society be a safe place for his daughter?
Gunali, as a child, must have encountered an unimaginable danger when she entered. Not to mention the elders of the Red Lotus Society. Ina place like this, not to mention Gunali, even if Malikado entered himself, he would probably not be able to escape the fate of dying. If it were not for that mysterious
Ancient Armor, Gunali would not have been able to return this time.
Malikado could not help but clench his fists thinking of this possibility. An inexplicable anger rose in his heart. He had never thought that his daughter would one day encounter such a risk. He had actually been very careful about the possible actions of the Red Lotus Society.
Usually, there were people watching Gunali’s every move to ensure her safety. However, after more than a year had passed, he had finally relaxed. He had actually allowed someone to snatch Gu Nali away from his family’s manor. This was truly a great humiliation.
Malikado’s heart was filled with anger, and his body was trembling slightly. However, on the surface, he still maintained his calm. He only comforted his daughter before he opened his mouth to ask. He had already heard about Gunali’s experiences from Mary, who was standing beside him.
Ever since Gunali had entered the Red Lotus Society’s headquarters, she had been with Mary. She had even been protected by Mary to a certain extent. Mary knew most of what Gunali had experienced. However, there were some things that only Gunali herself knew. For example, the origin of the Ancient
Armor and the power that resided in that fragment of bone.
The power that could defeat an elder of the Red Lotus Society, that resided in that fragment of bone was at least above that of the current Malikado. It was even at the peak of the entire planet. This kind of terrifying power must have come from a certain source. That Ancient Armor was even a legendary
divine item. Even if one searched the entire Hechi planet, it was very likely that one would not be able to find one.
‘Where did Gunali obtain it from? With this doubt in mind, Melector began to ask seriously. A moment later, he walked out of the room. Gunali was still very tired.
After chatting with Melector for a while, she quickly went back to sleep. Mary was also arranged by Malikado to rest in another room. As for Malikado, he came to an area of the manor alone.
The faint fragrance of flowers spread in all directions. There was no one around. There were only faint sounds of insects and birds. It was very quiet. In the middle, a huge Golden Dragon Tree stood there. The huge crown of the tree-covered an area, casting a shadow on the ground.
Malikado walked in front of the shadow, raised his head, and looked at the Golden Dragon Tree in front of him.
“Is it here?”
Standing on the spot, looking at the huge Golden Dragon Tree in front of him, Malikado frowned. According to the information he got from Gunali, the broken bone seemed to come from here. Moreover, she seemed to have obtained it more than a year ago.
The Golden Dragon Tree in front of him was also very strange. More than half a year ago, the Golden Dragon Tree suddenly showed signs of decline. At that time, the golden leaves had all withered, and there were faint signs of bad luck.
However, this process did not last long, In just a few months, the situation had completely disappeared, and it had become lush and luxuriant again. It looked even more robust than before.
Now, not only had it completely returned to its previous appearance, it had even taken a step further and had faintly become much larger.
Before this, Malikado had not paid much attention to this situation. He only thought that it was normal growth. But now, it seemed that this Golden Dragon Tree was vaguely related to what had happened to Gunali. After all, that broken bone seemed to have been found around this Golden Dragon Tree.
“The spatial turbulence a year ago…”
Malikado thought of the incident a year ago. The Golden Dragon Tree was located in the Oriel family’s manor. It was usually very strict, and it was impossible for outsiders to enter. Normally, even a fly couldn’t fly in. How did that broken bone get in?
From the looks of it, it didn’t seem like someone had thrown it in. After all, such a treasure couldn’t be overestimated no matter how precious it was. How could it be thrown into someone else’s territory and be picked up like a piece of trash? If it wasn’t intended, then what was it?
The spatial turbulence from a year ago immediately entered Malikado’s mind. About a year ago, a huge spatial turbulence appeared near the Hechi Star. That turbulence was caused by an unknown reason, but it caused huge consequences. At one point, the connection between the Hechi Star and the
outside world was cut off, At the same time, that turbulence also brought many things, most of which originated from other stars.
That broken bone might have originated from other planets. Thinking of this, Malikado could not help but feel relieved. If it was really brought by the spatial turbulence, then it was most likely not something from the Hechi Planet. As such, the possibility of that Ancient Armor causing them trouble was
very small.
Of course, even if it might cause trouble, Malikado could not hand it over. After all, the temptation was too great. With this item and his current strength, he would be invincible to almost everyone barring any Fifth Rank existence.
Even the elder of the Red Lotus Society would not be a match for him. At that time, the Oriel family would reach the peak in his hands. This would be an irresistible temptation for Malikado.
However, the discovery under the Golden Dragon Tree also reminded Malikado. He had already realized, and he immediately sent someone to do some inquiry. He would like to see if there was any news related to the Ancient Armor in recent years.
In the interstellar era, news exchange between the star areas was no longer rare, but very frequent. Divine objects like the Ancient Armors were precious even across the entire interstellar. There must be some news regarding it. With this thought in mind, Malik raised his head again and looked at the
huge Golden Dragon Tree in front of him.
In front of him, the huge Golden Dragon Tree was displayed. The huge crown of the tree was stretched out and it was very beautiful. The golden leaves looked very bright under the sunlight. There was a unique texture on them. It was very special.
After taking a careful look at the Golden Dragon Tree before him, Malik turned around and left. What he didn’t know was that while he was observing the Golden Dragon Tree, a pair of eyes were also watching him, secretly observing him. After he turned around and left, that pair of eyes retracted and
returned to its calm state.
“Have you discovered it?”
On the other side, Chen Heng sensed that Malikado had left. He retracted his gaze and smiled alone. His physical body was still being nurtured in the Golden Dragon Tree.
In order to prevent any accidents, he naturally had to take some protective measures. Therefore, when Malikado had just arrived there, Chen Heng had discovered it and was observing Malikado’s movements through his body that was still being nurtured.
From his words, Chen Heng could roughly understand his origin. However, this was not important. In any case, Chen Heng did not have any intention of hiding his origin. Moreover, based on his character, he most likely had not connected Chen Heng to the broken bone.
In fact, it was possible that the other party had used the Ancient Armor in the broken bone as a hidden method to guard against Chen Heng. This was not impossible.
Gunali had already told Malikado what had happened. Malikado also knew that there was consciousness in the broken bones. However, Chen Heng had not really appeared in front of Gunali in the past. From Marek’s point of view, he would most likely think that the inexplicable consciousness that Gunali
felt was the consciousness of the Ancient Armor itself. This was not strange. In fact, it was very reasonable, because the Ancient Armor itself did have consciousness.
Ina short period of time, he should not be able to link it to Chen Heng’s existence. As for the future, it might not be so.
‘But after this event, Gunali should have grown a little.
‘Coincidentally, the research on the Oriel family’s bloodline has also reached a certain level.’
After more than a year of exploration and research, Chen Heng finally had some progress in his research on the oriel family. He had made a breakthrough. Speaking of which, this progress was also related to his previous gains. The Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony that Chen Heng had brought back from
the Red Lotus Society had given Chen Heng a lot of inspiration.
To Philip and the others, the Black King’s sacrificial ceremony was merely a method to construct a magic array to improve themselves.
However, to Chen Heng, there was a large amount of information contained within it. There was even a deep understanding of the origin. It was through this Black King’s Sacrificial Ceremony that Chen Heng had made a breakthrough. From another angle, he had analyzed part of the power of the Oriel
bloodline.
In the quiet and spacious laboratory, Chen Heng slowly walked forward. On the huge laboratory table, a huge mark had gradually taken shape and was slowly being carved out. If one observed carefully, they would discover that this mark was very similar to the one that Chen Heng had carved before,
except that there were great differences in the details.
Moreover, this time, this mark was very complete and was not interrupted. It was complete. Looking at the mark that had formed before his eyes, a smile appeared on Chen Heng’s face. The bloodline mark before his eyes was the result of Chen Heng’s research. The curse hidden in the bloodline of the
Oriel family was actually a kind of transformation.
Through the research of his bloodline, Chen Heng had roughly separated it from the condensed version and finally researched this method in front of him. Chen Heng named this method as the Mark of Despair.
Through this method, one could unleash the potential of a person in a large area and activate the bloodline power of a person in a short period, allowing it to explode in a short period.
simply put, it was a Seed Explosion. Through this method, one could obtain a power similar to the curse of the Oriel family. In a short period, the strength of the existence that had planted the Mark of Despair would definitely increase greatly..
