The End of the Earth

"Envy? Doesn't the Marquis know that he has almost infinite life?

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why my father is unwilling to become your enemy."

Xiang San knew that he wanted to say that he had demon cells and his brain had been modified.

Gumakong didn't understand. What Xiang San envied was their bodies. Even after being strengthened, Xiang San's current body could only increase the upper limit of its use. The limit of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man was there. Even if his human body could punch through the earth's crust with one punch, he would die in a few days.

This is the shackles that the universe has placed on all things.

Xiang San shook his head, and after a while he put the cork back into the wine that Gumakong had brought.

“Don’t drink anymore, there will be nothing left.

I am very satisfied, thank you for the hospitality.”

"You're welcome. Please come when you are free. You are welcome to the Duke's Mansion."

It seems that things are developing in a subtle direction, not as Xiang San expected, and not breaking off relations with the Duke's Party. Could it be that they want to recruit him?

Xiang San felt that it was very likely that the royal court must have obtained the live video of the great power he displayed on the battlefield at the first time. Facing a monster like him, recruiting him was the most reasonable choice.

After the dinner, most of the guests left. Answei seemed to have had a lot of fun and even made some friends. Her little face was red from drinking and was very cute.

Calista arranged for a carriage to take Xiang San back to Yeviu Castle, and she took Ansevi back to the palace.

As soon as Xiang San arrived at the castle and got off the car, he saw Zao Zao waiting on the drawbridge in front of the city gate.

"Lord Xiang, welcome home."

"Go home? Yes, go home."

Xiang San looked up at this human heritage of the last century. Although it was difficult to find traces of the castle walls after repairs and maintenance, he knew that this was once a site that had experienced war. It was precisely because of this towering castle that the prosperity of the city gradually flourished.

Every building and every street lamp in the Elf King City seems out of place with this ancient castle, giving it a veil of mystery.

Under the influence of alcohol, Xiang San seemed to see another side of Yeviu Castle.

“It feels so good to be drunk…”

Levis supported Xiang San, who was struggling to stand. This Marquis was a legend of immortality that everyone in the kingdom knew about.

But he... can get drunk?

Xiang San fell into a deep sleep. The feeling of exhaustion made him feel extremely happy, but he also knew that falling into a deep sleep was not in line with his style.

Even he in the past would not fall completely into a deep sleep in an unfamiliar environment.

The nerve centers paralyzed by alcohol made his auditory consciousness increasingly chaotic.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the spinal worms on Xiang San's back lost their conscious connection with his body.

His consciousness became clear instantly after being disconnected from his human body.

The mechanical spine worm on the back crawled out like a centipede.

“It’s nice to be a human being, but it’s too tiring.”

Xiang San controlled the spinal worm to crawl into the clothes of the human body, and used its needle-like mechanical feet as thin as a hair to pierce into the belly, all the way to the stomach sac. The alcohol consumed tonight began to be transmitted out of the body through the mechanical feet bit by bit.

Just as Xiang San was working on expelling the alcohol from his body, a strange noise came from his bedroom window.

He stopped what he was doing, and black magic particles floated out of the spinal worm's body.

"people?"

Xiang San saw a figure slipping in through the window. The figure was very thin, similar to the man who was caught at the dinner party.

Suddenly, the uninvited guest stretched out his hands towards Xiang San, who was lying on the bed like a vegetable. He moved his wrists slightly, and the mechanical device on his wrists fired out more than a dozen flying needles.

The uninvited guest's eyes revealed a look of anticipation and joy, but a second later his joy instantly turned into horror.

Uh-huh~

The flying needles that were about to hit Xiang San's body seemed to hit a transparent wall and all fell to the ground.

"hateful!"

The uninvited guest couldn't help but let out a roar, and pulled out a well-made large-caliber pistol and pointed it at Xiang San.

bang bang bang

The door of Xiang San's room opened, and the uninvited guest was so frightened that he gave up and tried to escape through the window.

"who!"

Levis let out a light shout and pounced on the uninvited guest who was trying to escape like a velociraptor, but unfortunately he was a step too late and the other party escaped.

Levis glanced at Xiang San on the bed and turned on the communicator.

"An outsider has broken into the castle. Turn on all the lighting systems, track with drones, and release the hounds.

If we can't catch him, everyone on duty tonight will be fired!"

There was a hint of emotion in Levis' tone. If something happened to Marquis Xiang San due to such a security loophole, he would basically say goodbye to the rest of his life.

Levis walked to Xiang San's bedside and felt Xiang San's pulse with his fingers. His heartbeat was normal.

He checked other parts of Xiang San's body again and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no wounds.

"Strange? This is the time for rotations. How did this intruder know?"

Levis muttered something. He had no idea how the information was leaked. All the people in Yeviu Castle were sent by the Queen.

After confirming that Xiang San was fine, Levis went out first to command the capture of the escaped intruder. If the intruder escaped again, he would be held responsible.

After Levis left, the spinal cord worm lying on Xiang San's belly began to move. Xiang San controlled it to crawl off the bed. There were more than a dozen tiny needles beside the bed. It must be because of the plush on the carpet that Levis didn't notice it.

The spinal worm began to scan the device and analyze the information attached to the needles.

"It really is coated with poison."

The mechanical spine worm cannot tell what kind of toxin it is.

As a combat module, the database content of the spinal worm is limited, but at least the uninvited guest dared to use it to assassinate himself, which shows that the poison in the needle is not ordinary.

Xiang San used the extraction needle of the spinal worm to absorb some venom samples, and then tried to replicate the toxin using the demon cells when there was a chance.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Xiang San reattached the spinal cord worm to the human body.

He took a shower with sleepy eyes, put on his bathrobe and went to his own dining area.

There was an orchestra, a five or six meter long dining table with dozens of dishes, and a dozen servants watching him and serving him his meals.

When Xiang San saw this scene for the first time yesterday, he was also shocked. Not to mention in this world, he had never enjoyed such treatment even in the old times.

While they were having dinner, Levis came over.

"Lord Xiang, the person who broke into Yeweiwu Castle last night has been captured."

Xiang San pretended not to know what was going on and looked up and asked, "What intruder?"

"You were drunk and fell asleep early last night, so I had someone stew some sweet pear soup. I wanted to ask if you would like to have a bowl to sober you up.

The intruder was then discovered.

After chasing him all night, we finally caught him.

He is currently imprisoned in the castle dungeon."

Xiang San put down his knife and fork, slowly chewed the food in his mouth, and thought about something in his mind.

"It seems that he is not a dead man, Steward Li, thank you for your hard work."

"No, an intruder entered the castle last night. This is already a dereliction of duty on my part. I dare not talk about the hardship."

Xiang San didn't say much, but it's a good thing to be responsible and take on responsibilities.

"Come on, take me to see who is trying to harm me."
