Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 371 Traitor

The scene fell silent for a moment. Just when the lord was thinking whether this thing was of no use at all and was about to throw it into the iron mine to mine and make use of its last remaining energy, Kemish finally broke the silence.

"I...I can hand over the secret book of blood and energy that I practiced."

The reluctance on his face seemed to turn into the goose feather snow outside the door, decorating the entire facade of the hall of Gaoya Castle.

The Secret Book of Blood and Qi is an extraordinary cultivation method created by their first genius king with reference to fighting qi. It can strengthen and condense the blood and qi energy in the body.

It can be said that it is the foundation for every noble in the Persian Gulf Empire to survive. They would rather lose their lives than let it be lost and the secret be known to outsiders.

"Blood Secret Book?"

Li Wei sat in the main seat, not even bothering to lift his eyelids, and sneered: "You can't even block my kick, I don't even think this kind of garbage is hard enough to be used as toilet paper!"

Levi witnessed the battle between Sikai and Kemish with his own eyes. The opponent could indeed emit red energy similar to Dou Qi, but in terms of power, it was not even as powerful as Dou Qi.

"If you can't tell me the value that satisfies me, then die!"

When people are facing death, they will always be motivated by the desire to survive, and may even recall the time when they peeked at widows taking a bath when they were children. Using death to force them is a very good method.

Zha Manzi let out a sinister grin and looked at his boss, waiting for the order to catch and chop up the crocodiles he raised in the rushing river.

Faced with these Debe guys who treated his precious Blood and Qi Secret Book as a toilet stone, Kemish wanted to curse loudly, but reason prevailed in the end.

"The Secret Book of Blood and Qi may be like a swordsmanship master picking up a sharp knife to you. It is useless, but it must be useful to those green fat guys who can emit red energy attacks!"

Kemish spoke very firmly, his eyes swept over several orc warriors who were picking their noses in the corner. The big green guys realized that their leader was looking at them, and they immediately flicked their boogers off, raised their heads and chests, pretending to listen carefully.

Levi knew who Kemish was talking about. The sixth-level troops of High Cliff Castle were now truly extraordinary orc berserkers.

These big idiots have evolved from little melee fighters into noble elemental masters. They can enter a frenzy state with anger, greatly improving their physical fitness. And they do not have the negative effect of losing their mind like the Minotaur.

What's even more amazing is that they can also launch unique blood attacks like the Fighting Knights, which are powerful enough to cut through steel within ten steps, although they will wither after being used twice at most, just like an old farmer who drives away the oxen and plows ten acres of land himself.

But even so, these big idiots are undoubtedly the top warriors in Gaoya Castle today. In their eyes, ordinary soldiers are no different from straw, and fighting knights only require a little more effort.

But it is difficult for everything in this world to be perfect after all, and powerful results are inevitably accompanied by scarce balance.

Even after experiencing so many wars, this group of berserkers only number about thirty in total, and they have always been regarded as treasures by the lord.

Now that Kemish actually said that a rubbish blood secret book could have an effect on these powerful warriors, Levi couldn't help but become a little interested.

"go on."

Kemish breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his life was temporarily saved.

This secret book of blood and energy is so precious, but no matter how precious it is, is it as precious as your own life?
As for the oath I made when I was practicing the Secret Book of Blood and Qi and never let outsiders know about it, my family now regards me as a dead person, so I can just treat this oath as dead.

"Please allow me to first introduce the effects of the Secret Book of Blood and Qi. Those who practice it can control their own blood and qi, and transform this special energy into various uses, not limited to wrapping weapons, leaving the body and turning into attacks, or even like this..." A red light emerged from Kemish's fingertips and lingered on the pig-slaying knife in his hand. The next moment, the knife actually flew out of his hand, shaking, and finally, with his command, it revolved around him as if it was driven by an arm.

No one reacted to this. The Lord ate his apple in big mouthfuls and said at the end: "It's a good little trick. If you go to the streets to perform, you will definitely make a lot of money."

Looking at his defenseless white neck exposed outside his collar, for a moment, Kemish had an impulse to control the knife and cut the man's neck with lightning speed, then all problems would be solved.

This pig-slaying knife may be small, but it is definitely sharp, and no mortal can withstand it.

But looking at the officers of High Cliff Fort who were too lazy to even raise their eyelids, Kemish felt a sense of absurdity in his heart for some reason, that is, these guys didn't care at all whether he had a sharp weapon in his hands. He knew very well where this indifference came from, because he used to look at those slaves in this way.

This is the confidence that comes from being extremely confident in one's own strength!

This is true for the officers of Highcliff Castle, and even more so for the nobles of Debe in the main seat.

Kemish thought of that powerful kick and finally continued to speak honestly: "Blood can not only be used as an attack, but also as a defense to resist arrows or magic. It has many wonderful uses."

"I have seen your subordinates use energy similar to blood. Although it is incredible, I have observed that the two are of the same origin."

"But the only magical use your subordinates have for this energy is the most ancient out-of-body attack, which is a blatant waste! Practicing the Secret Book of Blood and Qi will not only allow them to control more blood and qi, but also allow them to better understand how to use this power."

Since his promotion to legend and the improvement of his status, Levi has an extremely clear view of the world, as if everything is under his control. He can even see through the general thoughts of an ordinary person.

Saint Igo explained that this was because his soul and body were united as one, reaching the level of magicians where they could project their spiritual power externally. He could observe the world not only with his eyes, but also with his mind at all times, and therefore had a clear understanding of everything around him.

It is easy to detect invisible murderous intentions or gazes.

The lord knew exactly what Kemish was thinking, and pretended to be ignorant of it, but he waited and waited but the other party never showed any toughness.

"My family is based in the Western Province, and the 'Secret Book of Rage Blood Qi' that we inherited is one of the top three in the entire Persian Gulf Empire, so you don't have to worry that the secret book I know is junk and will drag down the strength of your subordinates."

After saying this, Kemish fell silent and waited quietly for the sentence.

"not enough!"

Just as Kemish was getting thirsty from waiting, the sound rang out again in the silent hall. Levi's eyes were calm, and his fingers tapped the armrests of the chair little by little, making a series of crisp sounds.

The other party's words really moved him.

Every time the barbarians upgrade, their strength and martial arts will be greatly improved. It stands to reason that after upgrading to berserkers, they should be able to perfectly utilize their own blood and energy. But the reality is that the system seems to have tapped into their berserker abilities and blood and has not given them any experience on how to use them.

As a result, these big idiots can only cross the river by feeling their way forward, and they still only know some clumsy ways of using it.

If this secret book of blood and energy is really useful to the barbarians, it will be no less useful than the "Book of Holy Words" to him.

The reason why he was so disdainful before was that he had let the barbarians try to practice fighting spirit and the Holy Word Book a long time ago, but in the end they all ended in vain because they were completely unable to learn it. The reason was as unknown as what would be produced by the combination of a goblin and a harpy.

Therefore, he subconsciously believed that the Blood and Qi Secret Book, a cultivation method developed by humans, might not be suitable for orcs.

But now that Khemish is so determined that it will work, he doesn't mind giving it a try.

Kemish frowned. This was the most precious thing he had now!

As for his money and serfs far away in the Persian Gulf Empire, he believed that the other party would never fall for the trick of taking something for nothing.

"Mr. Kemish." The lord said with a smile without waiting for his reply, "You will definitely not be able to return to the Persian Gulf Empire. After all, you are the cause of the war. If you appear alive in front of your relatives again, I am afraid they will want to kill you more than I do."

Kemish's eyes dimmed involuntarily. For a man like him who regarded his family as an honor and spent the first half of his life trying to make it stronger, being abandoned by his family was like having his soul ripped out and placed in icy sea water, which was suffocating.

"I can spare your life, but only if you are willing to be a guide to Gaoya Castle, and your soldiers can be put to good use." Levi rubbed the ring on his thumb and said with a dagger in his hand.

"You want me to become a traitor!" Kemish suppressed his anger.

As a genuine nobleman who has received a good education, although he longs to survive, he still holds on to a bottom line of honor in his heart.

Leading other countries to attack his own motherland would undoubtedly be condemned by the world, and scholars would use their pens to attack his despicable behavior for hundreds of years.

"Traitor?" The lord sneered and viciously revealed Kemish's scars: "You are already a dead man, how can you commit treason? If you want to commit treason, at least you have to be a living person!"

"My dear Mr. Kemish, face the reality. The group of pigs you risked your life to protect may be celebrating at a banquet right now. Although celebrating you is useless when you are alive, after your death, it will give them an excuse to expand their territory and make a fortune from the war."

Levi's words were as sharp as a knife, cutting Khemish inside and out, back and forth countless times, almost suffocating him and making him kneel on the ground in pain.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Levi looked up at the goose feather snow falling outside the gate, sometimes surging and sometimes rolling, covering the entire wilderness with a layer of white coat, making it look cold and beautiful.

In the evening, Gaoyabao will fall from its hustle and bustle into silence. The people who are building houses and roads put down their tools and return to the houses where smoke is coming out in twos and threes. The chimney of the blacksmith shop no longer emits black smoke. Teams of Gaoyabao warriors march in neat steps and take small steps back to the camp.

A peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the nobility rose up. Levi spent a full cup of tea before looking down at Kemish below and making a final announcement: "Do you want to join Highcliff Castle and live again?"

"Do I have any choice?" Kemish smiled bitterly.

"There is no choice, either life or death, and it's not me who wants to kill you. As long as you appear within the eyes of the Persian Gulf Empire, they will definitely be the ones who want to kill you the most." Levi told the truth.

Killing or not killing Kemish is completely irrelevant to him. If the other party was not still useful, he would have been driven to the iron mine to be a miner for life. Why would he waste so much time talking to him here?

"Sir, I can show you the way to the Persian Gulf country, and even the military bases in each place, or the throats and important cities, but I have a humble request, and I hope you can agree to it." Kemish said in a very humble manner.

At this point, he has come to terms with it. Status and honor are meaningless. The most important thing is to survive.

"Say!"

"I hope you can bring my wife and daughter together with me when we return to my territory." Kemish said seriously, as if he would immediately cut his neck with the knife if the lord did not agree.

"I didn't realize you were such a good husband and father." Levi looked at him with a high opinion of him and nodded: "This is a trivial matter. I promise you."

"Then, my lord, from now on, your will is my will, your direction is my direction, your enemy is my enemy... until the end of my life!" Khemish imitated Debe's ancient oath ceremony and said slowly and seriously.

"Very good. From today on, you don't have to work. First, teach my warriors the Bloody Secret Codex you learned." After listening to the other party's oath, Levi rubbed his fingers and said, "As for the next appointment, it will fall like the morning light in the near future."

"As you wish my Lord."

Kemish was obviously a smart man who knew the current situation very well. He quickly sorted out his identity. Levi unexpectedly discovered that the other party's application to join the team appeared on the system panel.

This showed that the other party was definitely not just talking about wanting to endure humiliation and wait for the right time, but he really wanted to join Gaoya Castle in his heart. It seemed that being abandoned by his own country broke the heart of this nobleman.

"My lord, Kemish Blue Diamond died in that war, and now I am..." Kemish chose his words, but unfortunately he was interrupted by the lord before he could finish.

"No, no, no, who said you were dead? Aren't you alive and well? There's no need to change your name. I still have a great use for your name." Levi just smiled mysteriously and waved his hand: "Your name is Kemish, and no one can change that."

"Okay." After a long silence, Kemish finally nodded.

His original intention was to change his name so that he wouldn't have to bear the stigma of a traitor, but now...
