《fall into darkness》Chapter 37: Two "Blessings"
Advertisement
Du Di'an counted the time, and waited about ten minutes after Jenny left before going around the garden path. It didn't take long for him to arrive in front of the banquet hall, and he heard a burst of hearty laughter from a distance. I saw that the door of the banquet hall was completely open, and it seemed that the scene had ended, and nobles came out one after another in groups of three or five.
Du Dian didn't expect to come out at the time of the banquet, and secretly thanked the mosquito that was killed by him for biting him in time. He did not enter the banquet hall again, but followed the path beside the main road and walked outside the manor. When he came to the middle part of the main road, and saw that there were no nobles on the road, he immediately trotted over and pretended to come out of the banquet hall, ready to return. look.
After a while, I came to the outside of the manor, and there were only seven or eight of the large number of noble carriages parked here.
When Du Di'an saw that Pete's carriage was still there, he was relieved and walked over.
There was no one in the carriage, and apparently Pete wasn't out yet.
Du Di'an got into the carriage first and waited inside.
It didn't take long for Pete to come back drunk and swaying. As soon as he got in the car, he saw Du Dian sitting inside, his tongue numbed by alcohol slurred: "You, why are you here, come, have another drink, I have admired your name for a long time..." After speaking, he swayed and bent down, and actually knelt down for Du Di'an in the carriage.
Du Dian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he quickly helped him up and said, "You drink too much, come and sit and rest for a while."
"Sir, I will follow your instructions next time..." Pete said vaguely, but leaned in the carriage obediently and sat down.
Du Di'an looked at the smirk on his drunken face, sighed, lifted the curtain, and said to the driver, "Go back."
"Yes, my lord." The coachman said respectfully, then shook the rope, and the carriage began to run.
...
...
Before coming to the ancient castle where the temporary accommodation was made, after Du Di'an got off the car, he asked the driver to send Pete back to the scavenger headquarters under the Mellon consortium.
It was getting dark at this moment, Macon and the others had already fallen asleep. Except for the servants who guarded the gate, the maids and domestic servants in the castle had already rested. Du Di'an returned to his room and lay on the bed. Many things that happened today came to his mind, including the anger and suffocation of being humiliated, and the joy and beauty brought by the beautiful girl. He thought about it and gradually fell asleep. .

The next day, as soon as Du Di'an woke up early in the morning, he saw Pete walking quickly to the castle, carrying a small wooden box in his hand.
"Good morning, Mr. Pate." Du Di'an greeted him, a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect to be so drunk last night, and he was full of energy after one night.
Pete smiled and said, "I drank too much last night. I heard from the driver that you sent me back."
"This is what it should be." Du Di'an looked at the small box in his hand and wondered: "What is this?"
Pate put the box on the table in the living room and opened the box. Inside was a syringe that Dudian had seen. He immediately knew that Pate was here to send them "the blessing of God".
"I just picked it up yesterday, and I didn't have time to give it to you. I don't need to introduce this thing anymore. You each have one, Dean, you have two copies, one is the basic distribution, and the other is your first month. If you receive it, the second copy will be issued to you today next month." Pete said with a smile.
Du Dian asked: "Can I take it back and use it myself?"
"Of course not." Pete shook his head and said, "This is the power given by the Holy See of Light in lieu of God, and it must be used in the presence of witnesses. This is the rule. I am sending these over to be your witnesses."
Du Dian was a little regretful and wanted to take a copy back to study and study, but now there is no instrument in his hand, and he can't study anything.
"Come on, I'll give it to you first," Pete said, picking up the syringe from the box.
Du Di'an felt a little uneasy, and said, "This... there are no sequelae, right?"
Pete's face became stern, and he said, "I just listen to this. You can't talk nonsense outside in the future. You are questioning the God of Light."
Du Di'an naturally understood this, so he said the wording tactfully, instead of directly questioning whether this would have any side effects.
"Don't worry, this is a gift from the God of Light. It's not only permanent, but the scavengers who use it have never had any adverse reactions." After Peet blamed Du Dian, he still answered his words.
Du Dian was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, just secretly awe-inspiring, could the Holy See of Light be able to create a perfect genetic medicine? In this way, wouldn't it be possible to mass-produce waste scavengers?
At this time, Pate plunged the syringe into his arm, Du Dian felt no pain, only felt a little numb in his arm. Soon, the red liquid in the syringe was pushed into the body.

Du Di'an only felt a heat, which suddenly spread from the whole body. When it spread to the limbs, a violent heat flow rushed to the brain in vain, as if the blood from the whole body was gushing into the brain, he couldn't help roaring, the heat flow immediately After retreating, it flowed into the limbs again, and the limbs were held in great pain, as if they were about to be torn apart, he gritted his teeth and held back the pain.
Soon, the enthusiasm faded like a tide, and Du Dian looked up and immediately felt the difference. His vision was very sensitive, and he could see the pores on Pete's face in front of him at a glance.
Du Dian thought of the power Rorian got, and immediately jumped in place.
With a whimper, Du Dian felt like he was flying, and jumped to the top of Pete's head, with the soles of his feet standing at least two meters. He fell back to the ground, raised his hand and grabbed the chair next to him, and suddenly felt as light as catkins and could wave at will.
"Okay, I'll try it out later, there's one more." Pete laughed.
Du Di'an looked at the second syringe he picked up and couldn't help asking: "What would happen if all of these were injected, would it become infinitely powerful?"
Pete smiled slightly and said, "Of course not. The first injection will have a very significant effect, but the more injections, the weaker the effect."
Although Du Dian expected this, he still had some regrets. If it could grow exponentially, then the Holy See of Light, which mastered these genetic medicines, would be a monster-like existence.
However, thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. They are just scavengers, and they have such terrifying power. If they are hunters, how terrifying should they be?
Soon, Pate also injected the second one into Du Di'an's arm, and the heat flow surged from his body again, but this time it was not as strong as before. Du Di'an only felt a slight tearing pain, and the heat flow sank.
Du Di'an looked again, and immediately felt that his vision was much clearer, and his strength was estimated to have improved a lot. He thought to himself, even if a tiger is in front of him, it can be killed, right?
"Go, teach the others to come here." Pete laughed.
Du Dian nodded slightly and called Macon and others up.
It didn't take long for everyone to be injected, and for a while, the morning in the entire ancient castle was extraordinarily noisy, and everyone was jumping around, experiencing the incredible power in their bodies.
After Pate left, Du Dian returned to his room, packed up, and prepared to return to the residential area.
"We can stay for three days for free. Are you leaving today?"
"We also plan to go to the lively street market nearby today!"
"Why go back in such a hurry, it's rare to have such an opportunity."
The three of Macon were a little surprised and persuaded one after another.
Du Di'an had made up his mind. After saying goodbye to them, he called a carriage and went to the civilian area.
Before the carriage took him directly to No. 108, Linkang Street in the civilian area, Du Di'an jumped out of the carriage and paid 60 copper coins. He couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. The hire price of the carriage in the commercial area was twice as high as that in the civilian area. Of the 100 copper coins given by the Jules and his wife, 90 still remain.
At this time, Du Di'an suddenly saw another carriage parked at the door, and couldn't help but be surprised, is it a guest at home?
He bypassed the carriage and pushed open the white guardrail outside the door. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a quarrel coming from inside, and he couldn't help but stunned, and immediately raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door was opened, and it was Jula who opened the door. She glanced at Du Dian strangely and said, "Who are you?"
After three years of scavenger training, Du Di'an's appearance has also undergone tremendous changes. His body is much stronger than before, and his complexion is not so pale, but tanned to a wheatish color, so that Jula didn't recognize it for a while.
"Auntie, it's me." Du Di'an said.
When Jula heard the little changed voice, her eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "You are Dean?!"
Du Dian chuckled: "The training is over, I'm back."
Jula's eyes suddenly flushed, and she hugged Du Di'an into her arms and said, "You are back, you are finally back. Your uncle and I worry every day, for fear that something will happen to you there, but fortunately..." Speaking of this , immediately pushed Du Dian away, looked him up and down, and was relieved when he saw that his hands and feet were in good condition.
When Du Di'an saw her exaggeration, he smiled, but his heart was a little warm, and said, "I wanted to bring you some specialties from the commercial district, but I didn't have any money, so I didn't buy it."
"Silly boy, just come back and bring some specialties." Jula smiled and stroked Du Di'an's hair: "I haven't seen you for three years, you have grown so tall, you lived there..."
"Gianni, don't go too far!" At this moment, an angry voice came from the living room, and Du Di'an immediately heard that it was Gray's voice.
Jula's face changed, and she hurriedly returned to the living room.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.
