Chapter 476
Outside the Aiskin Manor, a sneaky figure was spying on them.
The boss had already gone mad. As someone who did the dirty work for the boss, he naturally had to consider his escape route.
Now that everyone's attention was on the other side, he could take the chance to bully the Aiskin family who only had one person left and run away with the loot.
That was what Ryan thought.
Looking at the study where the lights were still on, Ryan frowned.
He clearly remembered that he had twisted Allem's neck and watched him die with his own eyes before he went back to report the completion of the mission.
Who knew that this guy would crawl back up the next day, causing him to be punished. Now he was going to get back at him.
After waiting for the commotion to start, Ryan snuck into the manor.
Right now there were only three people in the manor. Those employees who were barely hired were not willing to stay in the Aiskin Manor.
Therefore, the infiltration this time could be said to be very simple. Clayon walked into the manor almost openly and began to explore.
There weren't many resources in the Aiskin Manor. No one was an idiot. The Aiskin family with only one person left was a pushover. Moreover, Baron Haarlem seemed to have become an idiot due to the huge blow.
Thus, many "IOUs" came, saying that Baron Aiskin had done business with them and owed them money. Now that something like this had happened to the Aiskin family, the business could no longer continue, so they wanted the Aiskin family to pay.
The IOUs didn't have the Aiskin family's seal. Even if it was real, it could only be said to be a personal debt of the previous Baron Aiskin. Haarlem could argue with them.
However, Haarlem at the time didn't care about these things and didn't understand the market. Thus, he easily "paid" the debt.
Of course, even so, the remaining resources here made Ryan envious. After all, some nobles still cared about their table manners, so they didn't finish the Aiskin family.
"Hmm? Someone came in. "Haarlem who was reading a book and discussing with the other two kids suddenly paused and said.
After Haarlem learned about the Bone Forging Method from Parry, he started to practice it. What was difficult for others was extremely easy for him.
In just a few days, he successfully awakened the toughness of his bones. After all, Haarlem was a living being with a speck of dust as its core. He could directly control his body, and the dust that he controlled could exist in every corner of his body to help him control his body.
These days, Haarlem had been constantly seeking knowledge. His intelligence was actually not lower than other humans, and was even better in some areas. His problem was that he lacked the corresponding understanding of human relationships and personal desires and emotions.
Therefore, he understood that he was not safe. Those who came with "promissory notes" all had malicious intentions towards him. In fact, if it wasn't for him having some common sense, he would definitely kill those people at the first moment.
Because of the malicious intent of those people, they wanted nothing more than to kill him immediately. This made the sensitive speck of dust restrain its killing intent for a long time.
The human world wasn't safe. Haarlem, who wasn't stupid, quickly figured out why they didn't do anything. During this period of time, the guards had been coming to him. The impact of the murder case was too great, and killing people now would easily cause problems.
Nobles had to pay attention to their dignity, even though Haarlem didn't think that dignity was of any use.
Thus, Haarlem had always been preparing to deal with danger.
He used his own body to speed up the training of the Bone Forging Method, and used the few resources of his family to exchange blood. Recently, he had even been thinking about what the so-called 'Heart of Combat' was, and why feelings and emotions were the key to helping an individual gather extraordinary power.
Thus, Haarlem's strength was much stronger than he had imagined, and he also had the talent of controlling the specks of dust that were attracted to his soul core.
Aiskin Manor didn't seem to have any defenses, but some inconspicuous specks of dust were scattered throughout the manor. Anyone who walked in would be considered to have walked into Haarlem's perception net.
Just as Leon entered Aiskin Manor to plunder resources, Duran was also fighting with all his might, preparing to rush to Aiskin Manor.
Duran's Astheus Family wasn't a noble family. They didn't have any bloodline inheritance, nor did they have any Bone Forging Method. At most, they had some assassin skills passed down from the Sacred Valley. It could only be said to be a mediocre family.
The Astheus Family didn't have many people, so Duran, who didn't have good bones, was able to use the family's resources to push himself to the limit. Finally, when his son was born, he used the noble's glorious inheritance, the bloodline inheritance, and the emotion brought by the birth of a new life, touched the Soul of Steel, and condensed the Heart of Combat.
For the rise of his family, Duran di Astheus had put in a lot of effort, but he knew that his ability was limited. He could at most become a Grandmaster of Combat, so he placed his hopes on the God's Remains, hoping to improve his son's bones through the Bone Changing Ceremony, and improve the bloodline of the family.
Although nobles could recruit some servants and help them break through to Grandmaster of Combat, these Grandmasters of Combat were not reliable. For example, now all three of the Astheus Family's Worshippers had disappeared.
Which real big family didn't have their own martial power? The deterrence of a top Grandmaster of Combat was no less than an army. Only a family with a top Grandmaster of Combat had the right to become a big family.
Outsiders were unreliable. The bloodline was different. Even if they accepted the Worshippers, even if they were honest and trustworthy, they could only protect the family for a while.
Countless cases of Worshippers taking over the family's nest told these nobles that the only thing that could be relied on was bloodline. Only the strong had the right to reproduce, and the descendants of the strong would only have the bloodline of the strong. If you were weak, you would realize that your children had nothing to do with you.
People who had broken through to Grandmaster of Combat and normal people were actually two different species.
Therefore, Duran hoped to find the God's Remains. The Astheus Family was originally from the Sacred Valley, and the God's Remains was something they had protected for generations. Exchanging it for this bloodline was an honor.
Life was unpredictable. After the destruction of his family, Duran felt that he had broken through to the level of a Grandmaster of Combat.
He attacked everything that stood in his way like a madman. His immeasurably urgent spirit once again triggered the Soul of Steel. His life force was burning fiercely. The door to a higher level of the Grandmaster of Combat was opened to him. The life force of all living things was captured by him.
If they could solidify this state, then he would have the chance to see the top Grandmaster of Combat.
This state of burning life force was known as Burning Soul to Forge Steel. It was the precursor to breaking through to the top Grandmaster of Combat, which shocked the priests and nobles who tried to stop him.
"Don't panic. His body can't support his breakthrough. In less than three minutes, he will burn himself to death."
It was not easy to break through to the top Grandmaster of Combat. Heart and Body Technique, each of the three stages had to be met.
For Body Technique, Duran's body was built by piling resources. His bones were not good enough, let alone Technique Technique. The Astheus Family's Bone Forging Method was only slightly better than the common ones. Moreover, after Duran broke through to the Grandmaster of Combat, his instincts told him that he had no hope of reaching a higher level. He had not trained for a long time.
Only Heart Technique, after experiencing the destruction of his family, the tragic death of his youngest son, and the situation where a strand of hope appeared to hold his mind, did Duran barely pass.
Under such circumstances, Burning Soul to Forge Steel would only lead to death.
"I sensed it. It's really Parry. It's really my little Parry." Duran did not care what others thought. Through the blood connection, he finally sensed his son's life force. He was in the Askin Manor.
Facing Duran who had already gone mad, everyone consciously took a step back. There was no need to fight a person who was going to die in three minutes. As for whether he would go on a killing spree when he rushed out, it had nothing to do with them. In other words, it would be better to put the blame on Duran.
"Follow behind." His Excellency the Bishop said. However, he noticed that the surrounding environment was not quite right. "When did the fog appear?"
"Lord Bishop, it's bad, we …" A person rushed over in panic, shouting that something was wrong. After that, he said strangely, "We're lost."
