Volume 2: Empire Chapter 191 Dance and Martial Arts
Luke, who was far away in the holy mountain of Tedega Hill, didn't know that his home had been stolen by Sky City. He sat firmly in the position of the champion, welcoming challenges from barbarians one after another.
His arm was resting on the table as if it were grown there, and any barbarian who came forward to challenge him could not move it even a little.
And when Luke started to exert his strength, the barbarian was easily defeated.
All the barbarians couldn't believe what was happening. A human could actually defeat the barbarians in a simple contest of strength.
Many barbarians who lost the game suspected that Luke used magic, so Mrs. Fekechik had a magic wave detection disk placed on the game table. The pointer on the magic wave detection disk did not move at all, but the barbarians still could not shake Luke's arm.
The barbarian's eyes gradually turned into reverence when he looked at Luke.
Strength is the value of charm in the barbarians' values. They worship strength and respect strongmen with absolute strength. Although Luke's human identity made the barbarians' Stone Family members dislike him at first, after rounds of competition, Luke conquered the barbarians with pure strength.
They went from lining up to challenge Luke to lining up to drink with him.
Wine is another hobby of the barbarians, and also another part of their culture. If a barbarian is willing to drink with you, it means that you have been accepted as a partner by him.
During the drinking contest, Coconut showed her huge capacity. At first, she was a little reserved and didn't dare to drink a lot. But after a few drinks, this woman with barbarian blood showed her true colors. One drink after another, she filled the large oak cup with wine and drank it in one breath, and one barbarian after another was knocked to the ground by her.
The pool party went on until midnight, and there was no barbarian left standing by the pool.
Coconut was staggering along the edge of the swimming pool, holding a glass of wine. She was already drunk after drinking so much.
Luke also drank a lot of wine. Even though he secretly used magic to burn the alcohol in his body, his mind was still drowsy from the anesthesia of alcohol.
Then he noticed that the coconut fruit at this moment was a little different from usual.
Did I drink too much and my eyes are blurry?
Luke shook his head and looked at Coconut again, then he couldn't help but open his Thunder and Fire Eyes.
Coconut by the swimming pool is in the posture of a young girl. She stands on tiptoe and tries to walk in a straight line, but her footsteps are crooked, as if she will fall into the swimming pool at any time.
It's normal for a girl to enjoy herself after getting drunk.
It’s just that the water in the swimming pool is a little abnormal. Every time Coconut takes a step, a ripple will appear in the water, and the center of the ripple is the point where Coconut’s footsteps land.
Luke, sensing something strange, came to Coconut's side and watched her steps.
"Oh!" Coconut was startled by Luke who suddenly came to his side: "Mr. Luke, am I disturbing you?"
"Take off your shoes." Luke observed Coco's feet and said in a commanding tone.
Coco was wearing a pair of big-toed hiking boots. Because he walked a lot and was reluctant to buy new ones, they were badly worn out.
"Take off your shoes?" Coco was surprised that Luke suddenly made such a request.
"I need to re-determine your race through your feet," Luke explained.
"Re-determine my race?" Coconut was even more surprised: "I am a human with barbarian blood. Isn't it obvious?"
"It's true that you have barbarian blood, but whether the other part is human or not needs to be re-confirmed. Take off your shoes first!"
Coconut said as he took off his shoes, "My grandfather was a barbarian, and my mother's family was human. What is there to reconfirm?"
Coco took off her shoes and stood barefoot by the pool. She saw Luke staring at her feet and said shyly, "Mr. Luke, can I put on my shoes?"
"Take two steps."
"ah?"
"I said take two steps."
"Okay, all right."
Coconut took two steps along the swimming pool. She was no longer drunk and her mind was full of random thoughts.
Mr. Luke...what does he want to do to me?
"Stand on tiptoe. Walk the same way you walked here just now."
Coconut was so flustered that she could no longer make her own judgment. She just did whatever Luke said. She stood on tiptoe, and her legs looked straighter and longer. Her center of gravity moved forward, and when she took a step forward, her figure was like a leaping deer.
Luke's attention was not on Coco's beautiful figure at the moment. He was looking at the swimming pool, and the ripples on the water were getting bigger.
He opened his Thunder and Fire Pupil again and observed the direction of the force field that suddenly appeared.
The center of the force field is at the toes of the coconut.
The change in Luke's eyes caught Coconut's attention: "Mr. Luke, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Luke made a gesture to keep quiet, he released his Thunder and Fire Eyes, and looked around again.
The savages lying on the ground were snoring loudly.
"Don't tell anyone about the change in my eyes."
Coconut immediately covered her mouth and nodded: "Mr. Luke, I won't tell anyone. But...can I put on my shoes?"
Luke said, "No! You need a special pair of shoes, a nice pair of heels."
“No-heel shoes?” Ye Guo said in surprise, “I have to walk a lot every day, and wearing no-heel shoes will be very tiring.”
"For humans, wearing heelless shoes for a long time can cause serious harm to the body. But you are not a human being. When you get used to heelless shoes, you will discover the real power you have."
Coconut stared and asked: "I, I am not a human? But my parents?"
Luke found a document on his phone: "A long, long time ago, a mysterious supernatural creature appeared in the Tedega Hills. Their name was originally called the Dancing God. Because they all wore heelless shoes, and their steps were like those of a dancer.
Later they were called Martial Gods because they possessed extraordinary powers, which were stronger than those of dragons.
The reason why the gods of war wear heelless shoes and walk on their toes is because this way of walking allows them to gain a force field, which is the source of their power. "
Coconut couldn't believe it and said, "You mean... I'm the God of War?"
Luke said: "This is an incomplete information I got by chance during one of my adventures.
I just saw that when you walked on tiptoe, a weak force field was indeed formed, so I made this judgment."
"But my family is very ordinary."
"This is normal..." Luke showed off the knowledge that Qingkong had brought him: "There are many ways for extraordinary species to be produced, and the mutation of genes during hybridization is a relatively large category.
The recorded history of the God of War can be traced back to the ancient war period. The war forced many races to leave their habitats and migrate long distances. The first large-scale migration of humans to the Tedega Hills occurred during that period.
The God of War might be a supernatural hybrid born from the marriage between barbarians and humans under certain conditions.
How your Martial God bloodline became explicit is an interesting research topic."
Luke's words left Coconut stunned.
"Mr. Luke, you know so much!"
Luke said: "As an adventurer, erudition and knowledge are essential skills, because when you are adventuring, you don't know which skill can save your life.
According to my judgment, your Martial God bloodline may have become dominant under stress. Perhaps you were frightened by the volcanic eruption, or maybe you just drank too much alcohol and your body reached the conditions for the Martial God bloodline to become dominant.
But recessive can become dominant, and dominant can also become recessive. What you need to do is to consolidate the dominant Martial God bloodline and continuously activate more bloodline power. "
Coconut said in amazement: "Mr. Luke is really knowledgeable. I don't understand what you said about recessive, dominant, bloodline, bloodline...
Luke had no choice but to speak in human language: "From now on, I will train you and turn you from a fake Valkyrie into a real Valkyrie with infinite strength."
Although I didn’t understand most of the nouns in the coconut, I did understand the meaning of “infinite power”.
"Mr. Luke, you know so much. I will listen to you in everything. I will do whatever you tell me to do!"
"Then..." Luke thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't know how to train a war god. After all, this kind of extraordinary creature only appeared in small numbers in the late period of ancient wars. The player's information was incomplete, so he could only deduce based on Qingkong's knowledge: "Start with the cat walk."
"Catwalk?"
"Go catch a cat and watch how it walks. Throw away all your old shoes. From now on you can only walk on tiptoe."
Coconut immediately stood on his heels and asked suspiciously, "Mr. Luke, you are not making fun ."
Luke looked at Coconut and asked, "Do you think I have the time and energy to amuse you?
Practice well, I also want to see what the true God of War looks like."
"Okay, fine, I'll go catch the cat." Coconut grabbed the boots from the ground and ran. After just two steps, she remembered something, so she changed to running on tiptoe, jumping like a fleeing deer.
Luke looked at Coco's back as she ran away and thought: Should I let her catch a deer?
But since we’re already talking about catching a cat, just practice imitating a cat first.
Coconut left, and the quiet night made the savages' snoring particularly loud. Luke yawned and went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Coconut had caught a bobcat from somewhere. She focused all her attention on the cat, and followed it wherever it went, with light steps and a little bit of elegance.
It's just because I was barefoot that the soles of my feet were dirty.
"Coconut, I'm going to go out and do something. When Mrs. Fecochek sobers up, you can tell her stories. I'll buy you a pair of shoes that fit you on my way back."
"Thank you, Mr. Luke." Coconut saw the cat running away and immediately chased after it, then stopped and shouted to Luke, "Mr. Luke, there is a strongman competition this afternoon, don't be late."
"knew!"
Luke waved to Coconut and left Fekichik's house. He found a secluded place to change into the clothes he had prepared. He then disguised his face a little and took a detour to the Black Magic Potion Shop where he had been yesterday.
There is a black money scorpion hanging outside the pharmacy door.
Luke didn't knock on the door immediately. His usual caution made him walk around the area a few more times.
There are no suspicious people, so it should be safe.
Go up and knock on the door.
The small window on the door opened, and the man with the sore face asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"
"I came here yesterday and bought a dose for my seriously ill wife. It worked so well that I want another."
The man with the scabby face finally recognized the man with two mustaches outside the door. He was the imperial spy who came yesterday. He opened the door, looked outside carefully, and said to Luke, "Come in."
Luke followed the man with the pimple face into the house, and avoided the poisonous insects he met along the way.
When I arrived at the house at the end, everything was the same as it was yesterday.
"My lord, I contacted the wizard last night. He was extremely grateful to the Empire for rescuing him, and was willing to be your informant to find out the news inside the Abyss Temple for you."
Luke asked, "Did the wizard tell me anything useful?"
The man with the ulcer face replied: "The wizard said that yesterday Apostle Victor ordered the arrest of a high-ranking priest, and that the priest went mad and died shortly after being imprisoned. His death was very tragic. The wizard saw the corpse being dragged out, and the body was twisted and no longer recognizable as a human.
I heard that the apostles are using the power of the abyss to test the abyss mages.
The wizard is very worried that he will be sent to be gazed into the abyss. "
Luke couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't the Abyss Mage join the Abyss Temple just to embrace the abyss? Now he's afraid to even gaze at it."
The man with the sore face also laughed awkwardly: "Wizards are different from other Abyss Mages. In fact, many Abyss Mages come to the Holy Mountain with aspirations to join the Abyss Temple, but not everyone can withstand the fear brought by the Abyss.
I have seen many Abyss Mages who are no longer human, even though some of them still look human. "
Luke put away his smile and asked, "What was the name of the Abyss Priest who died yesterday?"
"Longcoway."
Not Egbert.
Luke breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Egbert was still trusted , but he didn't know how long he could be trusted.
"You did a good job!" Luke took out a few silver notes, "but it's far from what I expected of you and the wizard. I'll come back at this time tomorrow. If there's any new information, I'll still hang a black money scorpion outside the door.
Valuable intelligence will definitely bring you corresponding value."
The man with the scabby face took the money and said with some embarrassment: "It is already difficult for the wizard to send messages out when he is imprisoned in the cell, let alone to get valuable intelligence.
grown ups……"
Luke said: "There is more valuable information in the cell. As long as the wizard is willing to find a way to find out, it will definitely bring you rewards. In addition..."
Luke picked up the big spoon beside the pot and scooped out a spoonful of green soup, then said to the man with the ulcer on his face, "If you inhale too much of the gas produced by this medicine, you will get ulcers on your face and body.
Remove the scorpion venom and replace it with the galliformes venom. The effect is the same, but the toxicity is not as strong. "
