Chapter 87 The Crisis of the Capricorn Family
"A warrior can also become a knight!" Thor once again dropped a bombshell. He had asked Shen Lan about this on the way here.
"." Roger looked at Sol blankly, forgetting to wipe the wine glass in his hand. He knew Sol well, so he knew what Sol said was true.
But that's why I was shocked, that was a knight!
For most people in Torres Continent, it is already considered a high-level profession. As long as you become a knight, you can directly become a noble. Even if it is just the lowest knight without a territory, it is still a noble, and it can be said that it can reach the sky in one step!
This is only in terms of power. The knight controls a powerful life force. Most injuries cannot affect him, and his lifespan will be much longer, just like Thor.
In the early years, in order to save Duke Capricorn, he was on the verge of death several times, and half of his body was almost beaten to pieces!
But he survived in the end, but lost the chance to break through the high knights.
But the high knights...
There are no high knights in the entire Lion Heart Kingdom, and the great knights are the strongest combat power here.
So if possible, no one wants to become a knight, especially veterans like them who have retired from the battlefield with injuries all over their bodies. This is tantamount to a rebirth for them.
"How's it going? Are you coming?"
Faced with Sol's question, Roger was silent for a moment, and then shook his head in Sol's surprised eyes: "No, your lord cannot accept the Duke's soldiers without restrictions. If I If they leave with you, what will they do? I understand what you are thinking, but Thor, since that knight has such magical power, his competition must be strong. How many times can you do this kind of thing? "Roger?
" He patted Thor on the shoulder: "We accept your wishes, but I have no intention of being loyal to a certain lord for the time being. However, you can take these children away. Leave the opportunity to the young people. We are old."
Hearing this, Thor looked at Roger's gray hair and sighed, but he knew that this was actually just an excuse. The real reason was that they didn't want to make things difficult for him. After all, trust will be consumed once. Twice is fine, but if you do it more often, you will lose trust.
Especially now.
This is an opportunity for Sol, and they cannot become a burden to Sol.
"Fuck~" Sol didn't know what to say, so he clinked the glasses with Roger and drank again.
Roger smiled slightly, continued to wipe the glass in his hand, and continued to perfect his character as a tavern owner.

On the other side, Isaac and Feili took a carriage and arrived in front of the Capricorn family’s manor. Like Rael’s manor, it was also a high-end manor with exclusive magic power. The difference was that here The name is Dragon Magic, which is the magic engraved on the Dragon Mage Tower that the Wizards Council is selling. It can theoretically summon dragons.
But in theory, this is just low-level earth magic power. In fact, it is not qualified to summon dragons, but it is not useless at all. Within the range covered by dragon magic power, the cultivated creatures are more likely to awaken the blood of monsters, with a very small probability. Dragon bloodline will be born!
Of course, dragon bloodline is extremely rare, and the probability can be assumed that it does not exist. However, there are rumors that there is a dragon-veined monster sleeping in Capricorn Manor that is comparable to a high-level knight, but it is just a rumor, and I don't know whether it is true or not.
"Master, Miss, we are here." Sik stepped out of the carriage first and opened the curtain for Isaac and Feili.
"Thank you." Isaac said his usual thanks, and then led Feili out of the carriage. Looking at the wild manor in front of him, he raised his eyebrows slightly. The rumors seemed to be true. "Master Isaac
" , Miss Feili, please come this way." At the entrance of the manor, Capricornus's maid had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing the two of them getting out of the car, she hurriedly came forward.
It is worth mentioning that the maid outfits in this world are somewhat different from the maid outfits in the previous life that excited some people. The maid outfits here are not so pretty, nor do they have that fluttering texture. They are basically made of linen and designed It is very practical, completely abandoning the aesthetics, and is only suitable for work.
This made him disappointed.
In their wild thoughts, the two of them were taken by the maid to a dragon-head-like castle in the center of the manor.
Isaac twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "This castle of yours is quite unique."
Feili blushed slightly and whispered softly. He said: "Grandpa said that this is conducive to the development of the dragon's magic power and can increase the probability of awakening the dragon's bloodline."
Isaac was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Good guy, it turns out that other worlds also have superstitions.
If it were him before, he might have been deceived, but now it is different from the past. He has made up for the missing foundation, so he can see at a glance that the shape of this castle is useless and is not the kind that can nourish people. Ceremony ground for the magic of the earth or to improve luck.
Soon, the two of them entered the castle under the guidance of the maid, walked through the eerie corridor, and after pushing open a door at the end, their eyes suddenly opened up. There were two worlds outside and inside the door!
The outside of the door is eerie and strange, while the inside is magnificent and magnificent.
Various dragons and beasts were carved on the surrounding walls, which looked shiny and golden. However, Isaac's mental power discovered that these were all gold-plated and contained only ordinary materials. But even so, this was not something ordinary nobles could do. They are affordable, and although the materials are ordinary, the people who make these statues are extraordinary. He can feel a faint spiritual power from these statues, which can only be left by instinct by sculptors with high enough skills.
Under the gaze of the dragon beast, there is a long red carpet aisle. Both sides of the aisle are still filled with various statues of Warcraft. However, these statues are no ordinary decorations. There is a mysterious flow of magic power between them. , forming a ceremonial ground, which has a certain warming effect on the dragon's magic power. The effect is that it can increase the probability of awakening the bloodline of Warcraft.
At the end of the red carpet, there is a long table, and three people are sitting on the seats. The first one is an old man with white hair. Although he is old, his strength cannot be underestimated. His strong muscles and those pair of The eyes are like beasts, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
The Bloodline of Warcraft is another use of dragon magic by the Capricorn family. By taking special potions and practicing the corresponding breathing methods, the bloodline of Warcraft can be awakened with the assistance of dragon magic, which can greatly increase one's own combat power. !
At first, the Capricorn family actually wanted to have the dragon bloodline, but unfortunately they tried for a long time without success, so they had to settle for the second best and choose the Warcraft bloodline. The current Duke of Capricorn, the first old man, Lucar Capricorn, What he awakened was the bloodline of the magical beast named Silver Bear, an extremely rare high-level magical beast. He was also one of the few nobles in the kingdom who used the combat power of a high-level knight.
He only has combat power, but his life essence is still that of a great knight.
The blood of Warcraft in his body allows him to advance rapidly before the high-level knights, but correspondingly, the difficulty of breaking through the high-level knights will also be greatly increased. This is the price of shortcuts.
It is difficult to achieve a shortcut in the practice of knights.
On the left hand side of the old man is Feili's father, Wilbur Capricorn, a man with silver hair, and some hair that cannot be covered is peeking out from his wrist. The ordinary Warcraft Wind Wolf not only has less Warcraft blood than his father , Feili's grandfather, even his fusion seems to be lacking, and he has many Warcraft characteristics on his body.
However, his strength has reached the stage of a great knight. As for his specific combat power, it is difficult to say. There is very little information about this man.
The third one is Alvin Capricorn, who is sitting opposite Wilbur. He is Fei Li's brother and the heir to the Capricorn family. He is a famous genius in the kingdom. He is 26 years old and a great knight!
Compared with Lucar and Wilbur, who carry the characteristics of Warcraft, Alvin does not see any inhuman characteristics. Even the hair that is most easily affected is brown, the most common color in the Lionheart Kingdom, and his blue eyes are like The face was as gentle as a gem, similar to the face of a Westerner in his previous life, and now there was a faint smile.
Or rather, fake smile.
Isaac looked deeply at Alvin. In this man, he not only saw a fake smile, but also something deeper, such as the perfect fusion of Warcraft blood!
In other words, dragon blood!
Although Feili didn't see Alvin's deeply hidden dragon bloodline like Isaac did, she could see Alvin's forced smile, even though the three of them were wearing casual clothes and looked more leisurely. , but Feili is not stupid. After a little combination of the Third Theocracy plan she just learned about, she understands that the Capricorn family is also not happy.
This is also normal. As mentioned before, the name of the Kingdom of Lionheart Kingdom is self-proclaimed. In fact, its combined territory is not as large as that of the Duke. In the past, it didn’t matter how you wanted to play. But if it is integrated into the Theocracy, Then the forces must be reshuffled.
The Capricorn family, as the founding fathers of the Lionheart Kingdom, will definitely feel uncomfortable, and maybe there are some signs now.
"Grandpa, dad and eldest brother, what happened to the family?!" Feili looked at the three of them seriously, a flash of blood flashed in her ruby eyes, full of bloodthirsty emotions!
Isaac frowned on the side and reached out to hold Fei Li's right shoulder: "Calm down, don't let the magic book affect your emotions, I will handle this matter." "
Huh~" A wave of emotions spread slowly around Fei Li . Qi Liu, she nodded silently, obviously realizing something was wrong with herself.
"Little Feili's curse has deepened?" Lukar frowned as he recalled the bloodthirsty aura on Feili just now. The reason why he made this engagement for Feili was to ease or even lift her curse, but he didn't expect it. On the contrary, it is deeper!
Hearing this, Wilbur and Alvin also frowned at the same time, looking at Isaac with questioning eyes.
"Sir Solomon has met Duke Capricorn, Marquis Wilbur, and Baron Alvin." Isaac bowed first, and then explained, "Fili's curse is no longer a serious problem. It was just a matter of practicing the magic book. It’s just a common situation in the process. Oh, by the way, the grimoire is a method of cultivation for dark creatures like the Vampires. Her grimoire is absolutely safe, don’t worry.” Lukar looked at Isaac suspiciously, and he was surprised by these words
. He didn't fully believe it, but he had heard the name of the grimoire. Unfortunately, with the strength of their family, they could only know a name. He didn't expect Isaac to be able to find "I heard that you saved your majesty, yes, the
same At your age, you are better than your brother and more humble than him." Lukar glanced at Feili, who was full of worry, and sighed helplessly. He originally wanted to hide it from her, but when he thought of this, Lukar glared fiercely
. He glanced at Alvin who had revealed his flaw: "Sit down first. You are indeed qualified to know about family matters."
Thinking of Feili's aura that was comparable to Alvin's at that moment, Lukar shook his head slightly, Times have indeed changed.
Hearing this, Isaac took Feili's little hand and squeezed it gently to reassure her.
After sitting down, Lukar began to talk about the difficulties encountered by the Capricorn family. Sure enough, as they had just thought, the trouble came from the Third Theocracy. The establishment of the Third Theocracy did not just transform the Lionheart Kingdom. , but integrated all the nearby small countries together to form a new kingdom.
Naturally, since it is called the Theocracy, the most powerful one is the church, but under the church, there are many places to plan.
But this does not include the Capricorn family!
Because they are the founding fathers of the Lionheart Kingdom and are extremely loyal to the Lionheart King!
Although he won't directly do anything to kill the donkey at the beginning, when the Theocratic State stabilizes, Capricorn will not be able to stay, which will seriously affect the stability of Theocratic State.
Lukar knew this very well, so he started planning this matter very early. He knew that the establishment of the Theocracy was inevitable. As long as there were no places where birds didn't shit, the Church could crush them with just a finger. .
So since it is impossible to stop the Theocracy, we can only seek better opportunities and integrate into the Theocracy. It doesn't matter if we can't keep our status. At least we can't be liquidated, leaving a spark for the Capricorn family.
Don't tell me, he actually found it.
After all, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Even within the church, there are conflicts of interest.
Seizing this, Lukar successfully hooked up with a bishop!
Isaac glanced at Alvin thoughtfully, so to put it this way, the dragon blood in Alvin should be the product of people from the church helping to improve the ritual. If it was the church, wouldn't it be able to do this? strangeness.
However, since you have hooked up with the bishop, why are you still looking so sad?
The bishop is already a middle-level force in the church and still holds a lot of power.
"Hey~" At this point, Lukar looked at Feili helplessly, which made Isaac nervous. Could it be some bloody marriage?
"The bishop is attracted to Feili."
Isaac: ".???"
"Tsk~ Don't think too much, it's not the one you think!" Noticing Isaac's increasingly dangerous eyes, Lu Karl stopped quickly. He didn't want Isaac to become enemies with the behemoth of the church. "What I mean by fancy is that he wants Fei Li to become a nun, a transcendent, a nun!" (End of this chapter
