269 The temptation of immortality, those who wish will take the bait (2)...
In fact, at this moment, more than a dozen magicians from various places in the royal capital have gathered towards the Adventurer's Guild.
The most powerful among them is Klimt Christoph von Armstrong, the chief magister of the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, Klim met Commander-in-Chief Weiner who was about to leave.
After seeing Klimt arriving, Weiner quickly stepped forward and reported to Klimt about Bucky.
"This is the first time we meet. I am Klimt Christoph von Armstrong, the chief magister of the Kingdom of Helmut." Klimt looked at Bucky and said after arriving in the reception room.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Klimt. I am Bucky Bardes. Your Excellency arrived much faster than I expected." Bucky said calmly.
"A powerful man with amazing magical power suddenly appeared in the royal capital. Naturally, I have to pay him a visit." Klimt said it very directly.
The meaning is that Bucky's power is already a threat, so he, the chief magister of the palace, must confirm Bucky's identity and attitude.
"I think the guild master has conveyed my request to your Excellency, right?" Bucky asked Klimt.
"Yes, I just listened to it, but I still want to confirm it again." Klimt said, sitting opposite Bucky.
His usually weak body felt oppressive, but now he seemed a little dwarfed in front of Bucky.
"Open the Magician's Guild and the Magic Item Guild to me, let me choose the magic and technology in them, and then give me a copy of all the holy magic held by the church, and I will clean up the entire Palkenya grassland. "Bucky nodded and repeated his request again.
"Does Lord Bucky not care at all about money, reputation and status?" Klim couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Klimt, you don't know me, so you don't understand that for me, only power is eternal." Bucky shook his head and said directly.
"Only power is eternal..." Klimt looked at Bucky and seemed to be assessing something.
"Yes, only power." Bucky emphasized.
"Sir Bucky, it's like this, regarding your request..." Klimt looked at Bucky's firm eyes and suddenly changed his tone, but he was stopped by Bucky before he opened his mouth.
"Although it seems very rude to interrupt your speech, Mr. Klimt, I am not interested in your words. Don't talk about my requests or anything like that. I just want to express my gratitude to Helmut Thirty." Seventh Generation proposed a transaction intention and then laid out my trading chips.
You just need to take my words back and let your king make his choice, that's all. As for the rest, there is no need to describe it. After all, I will not make any compromises or accept any negotiations. If you agree, bring me what I want.
If you don't agree, I will go directly to these three forces. If I can trade, I will trade. If I can't trade, I don't mind using my power directly to achieve my goal. Bucky looked at Klimt and said calmly.
"Sir Bucky, can I take your words as a threat?" Klimt couldn't help but look serious when he heard the last part.
"Your Excellency Klimt, what I said is just stating the facts. I am telling you that since I dare to say this, it means that I have enough strength to complete my arrogance. Similarly, I also have enough strength to complete my The deal promised." Bucky remained calm.
"Your Excellency Bucky, these major forces will not compromise with anyone." Klimt said.
"No, they will. The Magicians Guild and the Magic Items Guild can conduct reciprocal transactions as long as they have enough knowledge. As for the church, it is just an interest group in the name of belief in God, giving enough benefits. It's not difficult to impress them." Bucky shook his head and said.
"So, you want to trade with His Majesty because you want to save trouble?" Klimt immediately understood that Bucky was looking for Helmut XXXVII just to save time and trouble.
"It would be great if Lord Klim could understand." Bucky nodded and said.
"Just access permissions and knowledge?" Klimt asked again.
"I have money. As for status, my strength is my guarantee. And the so-called reputation has no appeal at all to me." Bucky told the truth.
If you don't have to go through the process of kneeling down and saluting with Helmut XXXVII to become a noble, Bucky thinks that it doesn't matter to get a noble status. After all, you have to live here for a while. With a noble status, many things will be easier. Quite a few.
But if he had to kneel, then Bucky wouldn't have any interest.
After all, Bucky has never knelt down even for Loki, who is currently enshrined, let alone other unrelated people.
"Your Excellency Bucky is not from the Kingdom of Helmut, right?" Klimt said suddenly.
"No." Bucky nodded.
"From the Northern Empire?" Klim continued to ask.
"No!" Bucky shook his head and continued.
"Is it someone from overseas?" Klimt asked again.
"Not at all!" Bucky still shook his head and said.
"None of them?!" Klim couldn't help but frowned a little.
"Actually, there is nothing to hide. I come from outside the world. The first person I came into contact with in this world was the dead Alfred Rayford. I believe this name should be familiar to Lord Klimt. That's right." Bucky said calmly.
"Outside the world?!" Klimt was obviously a little shocked at this moment.
"Yes, it is outside the world. I am a traveler between many worlds. Therefore, the money, power and reputation in the world I am currently in have no meaning to me. Only the knowledge that represents power has value." Bucky still said calmly.
"How is Alfred doing now?" Klim was stunned for a moment, and instead of worrying about where Bucky came from, he asked about Alfred.
"It has been purified using the holy magic he taught me." Bucky looked at Klimt before replying.
"Has it been purified? That's good! So, Mr. Bucky, I will go back and report to Your Majesty about the transaction you proposed. I can't make any guarantees to you about the specific results. In addition, regarding your origin, I I think it’s best for you to come up with some convincing evidence.” Klimt spoke with a slightly sad tone, and then said seriously to Bucky.
"It's not difficult to prove. Let everyone else go out." Bucky looked at Klimt and said.
After staring at Bucky seriously for a few seconds, Klimt waved to the others.
Soon, Bucky and Klim were the only ones left in the reception room.
Just when Klim saw Bucky making no move and was about to speak, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Bucky opposite.
Because at this moment, Bucky has dragon scales growing on his body.
It was dragon scales. After all, he had fought with Guledgrando, and he knew very well how defensive the old earth dragon's dragon scales were.
"This is the human-animal form! And then it's the dragon form!" Bucky said to Klimt after turning into a dragon.
After saying that, Bucky turned into a black dragon several meters long and hovered in front of Klimt.
"Are you a dragon or a human?" When Bucky turned back into a human again, Klimt tensed his body and asked Bucky.
"Don't be so nervous. According to the type of magic, I belong to the special bloodline transformation branch of alchemy. To put it simply, it is to hunt the mythical beasts, obtain the bloodline of the mythical beasts and dissolve it in oneself, so as to transform one's own bloodline, so as to achieve The purpose of becoming stronger and living forever." Bucky said calmly to Klimt.
"Immortality?!" After listening to Bucky's words, Klim keenly grasped the most critical word in Bucky's language.
"Yes, immortality. As a pure human being, in any world, its lifespan is regrettably short compared to those immortal races. Therefore, in order to obtain a longer lifespan, human wise men seek various means , transplanting and transforming blood is one of them." Bucky started to lie.
"After transforming the bloodline, can it still be considered a human being?" Klim couldn't help but asked with a frown.
"Your Excellency Klimt, is it really that important to be a human being? For the human rulers of a world, is lifespan more important, or is race more important?" Bucky asked Klimt.
"Your Excellency Klimt, what is a human being? I have a human heart and a human nature. As for the human form, am I not now? It's just that compared to ordinary people, I have two more fighting forms." Bucky saw Ke Lin Mu was silent and spoke again.
"So, what is your purpose?" Klim came to his senses after hearing this.
Bucky didn't just want to make a deal, but had a deeper purpose.
"It is indeed one of my goals to get rid of Gurred Gurando. After all, it is also an immortal race, and it is a kind of Western dragon race. I don't mind having more of its bloodline in my collection. As for the second For this purpose, I want to give it a try to see if the blood transplant method can be used in the magical world.
However, I never like or want to force others. Therefore, I will only introduce some things in detail to the leaders of intelligent creatures in the current world. As for whether you want to cooperate and let me test it, it is up to you to decide. "
Bucky's words sounded like the whispers of a devil to Klimt.
Everyone is afraid of death, especially those in power who have tasted power.
Otherwise, how could those ancient emperors pursue the illusory way of immortality?
And when the path to immortality is no longer illusory and is presented to you in real terms, can anyone refuse it?
Klimt didn't know if there was anyone, but he himself couldn't refuse.
Klimt believed that his friend who became the king would also be unable to refuse.
Klimt even believed that once Bucky’s words spread, the nobles in the entire royal capital would go crazy.
Working in exchange for knowledge?
How could Bucky do such a thing?
But Bucky did not lie to Klimt at all. He really wanted the bloodline of the old earth dragon entrenched in the Palkenya grassland.
But instead of using it on myself, I want to test it here.
Yes, compared to other magics, Bucky's fundamental magic is blood magic, which is the fusion of blood.
On Orario's side, Bucky couldn't carry out the bloodline transformation experiment.
Although Loki would definitely not object and would instead mention Bucky to cover it up, in Orario, Bucky's magic power would not last long, and there were many uncertain factors in the experiment.
In addition, Bucky was not sure what the attitude of Orario's gods would be once the secret was revealed.
After all, this kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later, and Bucky doesn't want to abandon the anchor he finally got.
You know, once the gods are determined to expel or directly kill Baki, Baki will never be able to resist.
Therefore, Bucky told Loki that he would never use blood magic on anyone other than Haruhime.
And even for Haruhime, Bucky would only consider using it after finding a very suitable matching bloodline, and it must be in a different world.
However, blood magic cannot be left alone, so Bucky, who came to a different world, took advantage of the opportunity of trading to reveal his origins, and then introduced the concept of immortality, so that the senior officials of Helmut Kingdom, Cooperate with yourself to test the efficacy of blood magic.
Yes, from the beginning to the end, Bucky never considered working for the Kingdom of Helmut in exchange for what he needed.
Instead, he intends to lure him with the hope of immortality to achieve his goal.
Anyway, Bucky didn’t believe that an ordinary person in this feudal world could resist the temptation of immortality.
After all, Bucky's immortality is not fake, but the real thing.
"By the way, I forgot to explain one thing, that is, after the bloodline transformation, depending on the bloodline that is integrated, the individual's qualifications will also undergo earth-shaking changes. For example, those who could not use magic before can naturally become... A powerful magician.
Your guess is correct. What I mean is that I can mass-produce magicians. Of course, this is only if I am willing. Bucky nodded and confirmed after watching Klim look at him with shocked eyes.
"Your Excellency Bucky, what happened today is too shocking and absurd. I will report to His Majesty the Kingdom truthfully. Please give me some time." Klimt said to Bucky after taking a deep breath.
As for hiding Bucky's incident and not reporting it, this is impossible for Klimt.
After all he had no reason to do so.
Who doesn’t want eternal life?
In fact, for the sake of longevity, even if the body is alienated, some people are probably willing to accept it, especially those who are nearing the end of their lives.
"No problem!" Bucky naturally understood what Klimt meant by giving him some time.
To put it bluntly, I am asking Bucky not to find anyone else for the time being, in order to ensure the stability of the Helmut Kingdom.
