Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 57

For example, he had already known that Lei was indeed, from a noble family. He was not an ordinary nobleman, but a great nobleman who possessed the inheritance right of the kingship. Nonetheless, Lei’s inheritance rank was a little low. Under normal circumstance, he would have no hope. He was probably a little bit better than Olivia.

Once again for example, he had already known that Lovell was indeed Lei’s worshiped object. Twenty years ago, he was still small Lei, determined to become a Great Knight-Errant, upholding virtue and condemning evil. The reason why he, on the contrary, became a bandit twenty years later was a very long story.

Still for example, it was really an exaggeration to say that Lovell was extraordinarily strong, and also shouldering a wanted notice. If his true identity was exposed, he would probably not be able to protect Olivia. Instead, he would have drowned Gerton’s collar in disaster.

One had to know this powerhouse didn’t only the duke of the Holy Angel Kingdom, but he also massacred the higher-ups in the Sun God’s church. But regardless whether it was the Holy Angel Kingdom or the Sun God’s church, it was both good. They were not those who were generous and kind, could smile and forget all the hatred. On the contrary, they were the kind of people would get revenge if they had grudge with someone. Their styles were widely known as fierce and brutal.

If it weren’t for the fact that ominous reputation of the Holy Angel Kingdom was really high, Rhodes would not have also needed to bring those jewelries that the Bloody Hand - Ruhr had hidden in the treasure house to the furthest place; instead, he would have brought them out for sale!

At the time when Sui Xiong let his imagination roam, Lei couldn’t bear but open his mouth to ask, "Mister Lovell, are you more than eighty years old this year? As a legendary powerhouse, how come you end up in the aged and weak appearance like this?"

His tone was somewhat worried, carrying a caring intent, which even a blind person could see.

Lovell beamed a smile, "The current appearance is just a disguise. With such high level that I am on right now, although I am a professional shaman, I also naturally possess some special ability. Changing appearance is not a hard thing for us."

As he stood up, his body produced a faint crunchy noise. His muscle and bones slowly changed. Shortly after, the one standing in front of them was no longer a crooked old man, but a middle-aged man with an imposing energy.

This man’s build was taller than an average man’s. His physique was really sturdy, could be rated as having back of a tiger and waist of a bear. His black hair was a little messy but it could not hide his bright and even eye-glaring eyes. The right side of his face had a clear scar, which must have been caused by a powerful weapon. A legendary powerhouse like him should have treated that kind of wound really well and for some unknown reasons, he still kept this scar.

His limbs were pretty long and slender. Both of the purlicues on his hands had many calluses, was this because he knew how to use weapon by both hands? Or was it because his eyes and his hands were that quick? Although he was unarmed and defenseless at this moment and just wore old clothes, there was no down and out or frustrated feeling from him. In contrast, he made people feel that he was like a "valiant" statue. An awe-inspiring aura emitted deep from his bones.

Everyone absolutely paid attention to such a man when he walked on the street. Even though he didn’t say a word, he would be the most dazzling star among the crowd. No wonder he changed his appearance and lived in seclusion.

"Ah! Teacher, you still look this young!" Olivia couldn’t help but scream out in surprise, "I thought you would be a dying old man..."

Lovell smilingly shook his head, "You, little girl, your imagination is really wild! After stepping into the Legendary Realm, my longevity has increased tremendously. The short one would be five, six hundred years, and the long one would be more than thousand years. This is both guaranteed. This old teacher is more than eighty years old this year. I at least have more four, five hundred years to live!"

Olivia was dumbstruck, "In other words, I don’t have to look after you and arrange proper burial after you die? You will even see me dying before yourself... Not right, wait until I am old, you must be still young like this. Until that time comes, it is still the back hair seeing the white hair off..."

She looked somewhat blank and distracted, couldn’t recover herself after receiving such a mental shock in a short time.

When seeing her blank face, Sui Xiong couldn’t help but give her some lines like in a drama:

A white-haired old teacher suddenly changes into a handsome middle-aged uncle, what should I do?

Online, urgently!

If this matter happened on the internet on Earth, it perhaps would get all kinds of comments from the media.

If this was post in some serious forums, it would probably receive many comments like "isn’t young teacher very good", "stop kidding". If it was posted on some vivacious forums, it would probably get comments like "what kind of health supplements does your teacher take? Please tell us a little bit about them" or "Quickly take your teacher to get a blood test, the Nobel prize is in your reach". But if it was posted on some laid back forums, which Sui Xiong usually stopped by, it would receive this kind of comment "let’s talk later".

If it was posted on the self-claimed biggest search engine on the world, it would be followed by a ton of ads. There would be people calling him to offer some solutions to maintain the search result on top. As for the truthfulness, all of these above were transient.

The businessman’s integrity to Sui Xiong was like such-and-such cooked rice of an empty "Zombie"!

Sui Xiong’s thought went a little too far, as it had unconsciously gone 108,000 miles. But Lei was not like that. His thoughts were always well-knit, focusing on the main point, rarely distracted.

Therefore he watched Lovell meticulously for a while then curiously asked, "Mister Lovell, where is your supreme "Black Edge"?"

The so-called "Black Edge" was Lovell’s well- known weapon.

In Lei’s impression, this was a long and thin bent blade. The blade body was black, containing exotic dark power. It was a legendary weapon. The name "Black Edge" also came from this. Someone said that it was actually a very ordinary blade. It was simply longer than a machete. The name "Black Edge" was born only because Lovell had used this blade to kill countless people.

Between those two assumptions, Lei also didn’t know which one was right. He was a little surprised at heart. Today, accidentally he met his idol again, he had to go to the bottom of this matter.

"I hide it in an ordinary place. I don’t have it by my side now." Lovell said, "That blade is pretty conspicuous. An experienced person will notice if I bring it with me and it will be very troublesome."

"So... What exactly does that blade look like?" Lei finally got to ask his most-wanted-to-ask question.

Lovell smiled, moved his hands and legs for a while, "It’s long like this, wide like this, can protect the arm. Generally speaking, as compared to the blade that is used for a very long time on the sea, it is narrower, and its handle is very long. It isn’t decorated specifically. Its entire body, from the tip of the blade to the handle, is all black. In short, the name "Black Edge" is exactly from its appearance."

Lei suddenly awakened. His long-time doubt was untied. But after thinking for a while, he couldn’t help but ask again, "But why people said the name "Black Edge" came from the fact that you has killed countless people?"

"The fight that year was indeed very well-known, this is not surprising." Lovell mindlessly said, "Although we have reached to this level, our aliases should be made based on our deeds, but the event of mine.... Ha ha, everybody has already known. If it is repeated too much, that bunch of hypocrites would definitely be angry till the point that their faces turned purple. They have no way to catch me but can easily cope with ordinary adventurers. Therefore, everyone can’t do anything else but tries their best to avoid mentioning this matter, so as not to anger them."

"Without a doubt, I indeed love this ‘Black Edge’ name as well. The black blade can absorb and cut off the light. I am very satisfied." Lovell smirked and said, as murderous energy slowly appeared in his eyes, "My ideal is that bringing this blade to destroy the Cloud City (the Sun God’s King Dom). A blade that can absorb and cut off the sunlight is very suitable for me."

His words obviously meant that someday, he would kill the Sun God. To this frightening ideal, even Lei, who worshiped him, was too shocked to say anything. Only Sui Xiong showed his support.

"The Sun God is the mountain behind the Holy Angel Kingdom’s back, Wanting to get revenge on the big boss of the enemy. I support you!" The floating jellyfish used his tentacles patted Lovell’s shoulder, smilingly said, "But, let’s use our conscience to talk. How big, do you feel your success rate to be?"

Lovell silenced for a while, then bitterly smiled and shook his head, "Basically none."

"Right…It is even hard for the most powerful legendary powerhouse to kill a God. It is like accidentally catching two birds with one stone. It is not a coincidence that comes across in the same place. The most reliable method to become an enemy with a God is to become a God yourself." Sui Xiong started to activate his silver tongue, "Have you ever thought about this?"

"Become a God?" Lovell had considered about this matter before. Due to his poverty-stricken background, although thanks to his effort, he could be able to step into the legendary realm, his ability to access the material was only that much, so…How can a mortal become a God? He had no clue.

But... seeing those squinted eyes of the floating jellyfish, he had understood the opposite party’s intention.

"You want to recruit me to become a second-rate God?" He directly asked.

"That’s right." The floating jellyfish used his force to shake his body, which made him appear like he was nodding, "Although right now I don’t have a church or a second-rate God yet, my believers are building the Holy Land. Wait until the Holy Land is built, I will officially establish a church, and complete my religious sect----until that time, I really need help in some advanced fields. A true God needs to comprehend his own world, master his priesthood. As for this aspect, I can’t help anything, but promoting to a Semi-God is no problem for me."

Seeing his sincerity, Lovell didn’t say anything about those things but directly got to the main problem, "I am just a wanted criminal of the God of Lory. If you promote me into a God’s position, the face of the God of Lory will turn purple with rage. Until that time, what do you prepare to deal with him?"

"To be honest, I don’t have any good solution." Sui Xiong answered straightforwardly, "Therefore, I can temporarily let you be a Semi-God----conversely, a Semi-God is also immortal. You can at least constantly accumulate power. Wait until my power is strong enough to go up against a God, you can uprightly step out."

This answer absolutely could not satisfy others. Lovell smiled again.

"Uhm, your idea is very good and practical." While saying, he lowered his head to bow to Sui Xiong, "Honorable Highness, from now on, Lovell? Black Edge will then become your subordinate. I am looking forward to the day I can fight by your side, destroying that Cloud City!"

After saying, he sent out a slight noise then slowly came back to the crooked old man.

"Before that, I will be patiently waiting."
