My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 330 I'm really sorry, I didn't make you use your full strength.
This sudden change caused everyone present to shrink their pupils.

Whether it was the female pirate who thought she had seen through Lana or the newly arrived archer, they were both so shocked that they couldn't speak when they saw Lana, who seemed to have completely transformed into another person in an instant.

Even Xue Lude, who had roughly confirmed the situation before the experiment, shook his head slightly when he saw the originally talented noblewoman turn into this state.

"This is the truth behind what you find strange. I don't know why, but as long as a Heroic Spirit Contract is signed, one becomes completely distorted, turning into such an arrogant, sarcastic, and mean-spirited being. This is not my imagination... but that little beggar, was he himself distorted by the contract?" Xue Dinglu looked at Lana, who was looking up at him with great dissatisfaction.

At this moment, "Lana" was so arrogant that she didn't care about Xue's attitude at all. Her eyes were like poisoned silver needles, and when she swept over everyone present, they always carried three parts mockery and seven parts disgust.

"Can't you understand human language? Familiar? Or are you not even as good as a dog that knows how to obey commands? Kneel down!" She immediately glared at Xue Dinglu, seemingly preparing to forcefully issue the order.

Unexpectedly, Xue Dinglu appeared behind her and delivered a karate chop to the back of her neck. The girl, who had instantly transformed from an intellectual noblewoman into a little devil, fainted with her eyes rolling back.

The archer and the female pirate were stunned. They looked at Xue Luding, completely unable to understand why Xue Luding was able to attack the host.

The contract contains a restriction that prevents the familiar from harming its host, which is why they can only come to Xue Dinglu for help.

"Hmm... I made a slight modification to the contract," Xue Dinglu explained casually. The only difference was that the second party on Lana's contract was not Xue Dinglu, but "Zeus the Breeder".

Essentially, she just signed a contract with Zeus, the god of reproduction, not with Xue's Law.

Therefore, even if her personality changes drastically in an instant, Xue Dinglu can still take action against her.

Now, the result is obvious. Both Xue Lude and the two heroic spirits have terrifyingly gloomy expressions.

Xue Lude silently carried Lana back to the bed. He would need to find a way to reclaim the contract with Zeus later. At the same time, Xue Lude also understood why Zeus would not attack him even if he bred someone. This was because the basic framework of the summoned Zeus contained a contract that prohibited him from attacking Xue Lude.

"Is the reason why all of us hosts are abnormal because of this contract?" the archer said first. Although she was the last heroic spirit to arrive here, as an archer, she had witnessed the whole process of the two boys harassing Lana during the daytime training, as well as the whole process of Lana transforming from a well-educated noble girl into a seemingly lustful little devil.

Like their hosts, Lana stopped treating Xue Lude as a human being the moment she signed the contract, looking at him as if he were a slave.

That's the feeling. She seemed to have become extremely sexually repressed in an instant, just like the other hosts who even wanted to have some inappropriate relationship with the Heroic Spirits.

Although Xue Law felt that one control variable had not been successfully controlled, that is, breeding Zeus would indeed fill the host's mind with thoughts of "burning, burning, burning". Xue Law had experienced this, so he was not sure if Lana's instant perception of him as a female slave was due to the evil nature of breeding Zeus.

But the change is already quite obvious, so why wasn't he corrupted, even though he had made a pact with Zeus?

Wait a minute, have I really not changed? Has my mind really not been affected?

Xue Luding suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He carefully recalled the entire process from summoning the Breeding Zeus to breaking the contract with it, and carefully considered whether there was anything abnormal about his mind and thoughts.

No! He was certain that no strange spiritual entity had invaded his mind.

After all, there is still a sealed "divine Xue Law" in his consciousness. It is a part that has been in contact with the world's authority for a long time and was sealed to withstand the information of the world's authority. This part can even withstand the information of the world. At this time, it has no reaction, which proves that Xue Law's spirit and cognition have not been distorted.

Wait a minute, Xue Luding thought of a Noble Phantasm he had copied with the young general before they fought the Heart Demon.

【Pseudo-Heart of the World (Rank C): A counterfeit version of the Noble Phantasm "Heart of the World". It is a Noble Phantasm specifically designed to counter spirit possession and corruption. It lures invading souls into a false spiritual world and traps them there forever.

Currently imprisoned intruders: 1

At this moment, the Noble Phantasm that was originally gathering dust in the consciousness space now had a distorted and eerie shadow appear on its core, which was originally like a star core. This was the original entity that had corrupted the host, but it was trapped by this copied Noble Phantasm.

Xue Dinglu suddenly felt a little fortunate. This treasure was originally a collection of the Star Squad that the young general borrowed. The original treasure was of A+ level, and he kept it to resist the mind-stealing demon's possession.

Xue also used the modifier to create a low-quality copy, only grade C, in order to resist the mind flayer's possession. At the very least, this would allow him to detect the abnormality and have time to deal with the mind flayer.

However, it did not play any role in the battle against the Mind Flayer. After Xue Lude officially appeared in Genesis, the Destroyer Colossus overwhelmed the Mind Flayer in a few waves, so this Noble Phantasm has been gathering dust in the consciousness space ever since.

But as the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens. Today, this treasure has unexpectedly come to my aid in a surprising way.

Although Xue Law believed that the pollution invading him would definitely be suppressed by the "divinity" in his soul, at that time Xue Law also had to suppress Zeus's reproductive authority. He was not sure that if he was careless, reproduction would take over his brain and the small head would control the big head.

At that point, the entire Earl's mansion would probably be in a terrible mess, whether it's Lana, her sister, the old Earl, or the old butler.

There's no guarantee that the Earl's guards won't be clutching their backsides, passing dogs won't have to tuck their tails between their legs, and even the earthworms on the ground won't be inexplicably pregnant.

Xue Luding immediately looked in this direction, at the distorted and hideous face inside the [Pseudo-Heart of the World]. Xue Luding thought, "I'm afraid the contract will carry a distorted mental pollution. This mental pollution can distort a person's mind and consciousness. Even Lana, a noble girl with strict upbringing, could be corrupted. Were there similar cases in the past Great Expeditions?"

Xue asked the two local natives.

To everyone's surprise, both the archer and the female pirate shook their heads and said, "I don't know."

Xue Luding also frowned and said quietly, "I might have a way. Wait a moment, I'll start to deal with Lana's mental pollution, and I'll also take care of your problems at the same time."

Xue Luding arrived at Lana's side, and the cursed blood instantly entered her body. At the same time, Xue Luding activated the Noble Phantasm [Pseudo-Heart of the World].

"Cursed Blood, Transfer of Calamity!"

This sublimated Noble Phantasm instantly burrowed into the deepest part of Lana's mind. Under Xue's precise control, it completely eradicated the distorted mental pollution and the contract. Along with some of Lana's original hidden internal injuries, minor health problems, and injuries sustained during her recent menstrual period, all were healed by the cursed blood and transferred to the Golden Grail.

This is the current enhancement of the Cursed Blood. The calamity will not be transferred to Xue Lude immediately, but will be borne by the Golden Grail first, and then the excess will be transferred to himself. At the same time, when the pollution wanted to invade Xue Lude through the Cursed Blood, it was completely intercepted by the Pseudo-Heart of the World, becoming the second best brother in this Noble Phantasm.

After all this was over, Xue Dinglu breathed a sigh of relief and signed his name again on the contract to breed Zeus.

This time, a new form of mental pollution appeared, but it was once again caught by the pseudo-Heart of the World and instantly refined.

They originally prepared this treasure to deal with the 5th-tier Mind Flayer, and dealing with this contamination is still relatively easy for them. After absorbing the contamination three times, Xue Lude believes that this treasure can be used at least three more times.

"It's a success. She's recovered and should be no different from before when she wakes up." Xue Dinglu breathed a sigh of relief.

The two heroic spirits exchanged a glance, and they also discovered Xue's method, that is, they knew that Xue himself controlled a seventh heroic spirit who had not yet appeared.

"As expected, no wonder there were only six master-servant teams in this great expedition. Are you controlling the last Heroic Spirit? Just now, you weren't using your own contract to conduct the experiment, but rather the Heroic Spirit you were controlling?" the female pirate asked directly.

Xue Daolu shrugged, offering no direct response, but this was tantamount to acknowledging it.

"Sure enough, I sensed at first glance that you, the mad viscount, are not a law-abiding person, but rather someone who likes to find loopholes and try to cheat." The female pirate seemed quite satisfied with Xue's methods.

Xue's Law simply smiled, his glasses reflecting the light of the magic lamp.

"So now we've summarized two rules." Xue Dinglu smiled and held up his finger. "First, the host who signs the Heroic Spirit Contract will be mentally corrupted. Second, individuals with mental corruption will exhibit a state of arrogance intertwined with lust."

"As for more rules and the characteristics of this pollution, further experimental investigation is needed."

Xue Dinglu spoke of the information he had obtained, looking at the two heroic spirits present: "So, I also have a way to resolve the contracts on you, and at the same time prevent myself from being mentally corrupted. Shall we begin now? And do you really believe me? After all, once I control your contracts, I will have the power of life and death over you, and you will be unable to refuse any request I make you make!"

Xue Lu looked at the two of them, his glasses covered by the reflected light: "My strength is very strong, even your methods of escaping, which are like hiding from your hosts, cannot achieve this."

"Heh, Mad Viscount, at least I trust you to some extent on this matter. Besides, your personality is quite good, and you're to my liking." The one-eyed female pirate glanced at Xue Dinglu and said, "Let's get started now, hurry up!"

The archer, unfazed by Xue's provocation, said, "Re-sign the contract for me too. I believe you. I saw everything that just happened. You're not a bad person." "Tsk..." Xue didn't know if he hadn't convincingly played the villain, or if his "human blessing" had given him too much goodwill. Neither of the two heroic spirits showed any sign of resistance.

As for them, they had also thought about it. Once they signed the contract, the host would be corrupted. They felt that rather than letting the corrupted guy control them, they would rather trust this mad viscount, at least he didn't seem like a bad person.

Yes, a woman's intuition.

The cursed blood entered their bodies directly, penetrating deep into the very core of these bodies that had descended into the mortal world. It located the contract, then removed it entirely and rewrote its name on a new one.

At that moment, the two boys who had been frantically searching for their female Heroic Spirit in the center of the Royal Training Ground suddenly turned pale and their eyes widened in horror, because at that moment, they felt that the contract between them and the Heroic Spirit had been broken.

That bastard dared to defy me, his host, and even dared to find a way to break the contract! Damn it! Damn it!

The mental pollution caused them to lose control in an instant, and they roared madly. At that moment, even the royal court mystic and other guards noticed the problem.

……

After Xue Law completed the contract, he forcibly reclaimed the pollution, and the pseudo-World Heart was almost full, containing five distorted human faces.

Just as they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, the three heroic spirits present suddenly sounded alarms, exchanged a glance, and said in unison, "An enemy is approaching!"

"The enemy is actually... the Blood Duke?" Xue Dinglu sensed even more and immediately deployed his defenses in confusion.

The next moment, the room where Xue Lude and Lana were located was almost completely blown open, and the energy wave released by the scarlet greatsword covered the entire place, collapsing the house where Xue Lude and the others were temporarily staying.

The violent explosion and tremors alarmed everyone in the palace. Court mystics rushed over, including the prince, who had been busy collecting materials and props all day. The old prince had planned to sit down for a meal and relax with his maid, but the sudden explosion made him hurry over as well.

The greatsword scattered dust as the Blood Duke, who had accompanied the Golden Emperor in the Great Crusade 1300 years ago and won the victory for mankind, frowned as he looked into the ruins.

Upon seeing the defensive barrier erected by Xue Dinglu, which blocked his attack, and also noticing the other pirate woman and archers in the room, the Blood Duke frowned, but also showed an indifferent attitude, filled with fighting spirit.

His gaze fell on Lana, whom Xue Dinglu was holding, and he said, "I'm really sorry, although I don't want to do such a despicable thing, I have no choice. My host wants me to take that girl back."

At this moment, both the royal court mystic and the prince stared blankly at the heroic spirits fighting.

No, they haven't even started the expedition yet, and they've already started fighting amongst themselves, and the reason for the fighting is just... a woman?
The host of the Blood Duke is that second son of the duke's family, right? They started fighting amongst themselves just for a woman, to satisfy their own desires?
Go ahead and plagiarize, you bastards! The singing girls in the capital are legal. Even if you plagiarize, you only need to pay a small fee. It's not much, and the royal family can reimburse you. Otherwise, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. It's just a small fee!

Both the court mystic and the prince felt a profound sense of unease, as if they had swallowed a historical injustice. They had started fighting amongst themselves simply because they wanted to sleep with the earl's daughter, completely disregarding the overall interests of humanity.

Disgusting! Ugh! Disgusting!
Then, the melodious music filled the air, and the bard's blessing was bestowed upon the Blood Duke. The bard, a spirit of a hero, slowly emerged and said, "Although I think this is a very tasteless thing to do, there's nothing I can do. My host also ordered me to take back that noble lady. I'm really sorry."

The second Heroic Spirit joined the Blood Duke's opposing side and became an enemy.

Seeing the situation escalating, the prince immediately stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, please give me some face, especially the two heroic spirits who came to snatch people. Please give me, the 27th direct descendant of the emperor, some face. I am willing to let the palace maids serve your hosts. Please step back!"

Although he was actually losing face, after all, the palace maids were, in essence, his maids, and one of the concubines he would have as the next emperor. Now he was essentially using his own concubines to quell this disaster.

However, being a prince, he was still decisive and added without hesitation: "If that's not enough, I can send each of you hosts at least four maids. They are all young girls trained by the royal family, and their skills and appearances are amazing. They will not disappoint the heroes who are about to participate in the Great Expedition."

The prince felt he had been very sincere. After all, no matter how stunning the count's daughter was, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl who hadn't fully grown up yet. His own maids might not be as pretty as the count's daughter, but there were still four of them. He didn't believe that this couldn't solve the problem.

To everyone's surprise, the Blood Duke frowned, looked at the prince, and sighed, saying, "Your Highness, although I would very much like to give you face, unfortunately, my host has specified that he wants this count's daughter. I have tried to find him a maid, but he has not agreed. I am truly sorry..."

The Grand Duke's words made the prince's face turn as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant.

At this moment, he even had the idea of ​​killing the Grand Duke, whose ancestors had deep ties with the royal family, on the spot. At the same time, he also harbored a silent grudge against the second son of the Earl's family.

You lowly illegitimate child, you disgusting thing, do you really have to sleep with this count's daughter? Who the hell do you think you are!
……

Meanwhile, in Xue Dinglu's arms, Lana finally woke up. Although the back of her head still hurt, she saw the scene of confrontation and the Blood Duke staring straight at her.

Combining what she had been harassed about during the day, she immediately understood the situation and her face turned pale.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Xue Dinglu lowered the holy light defense barrier and silently adjusted his glasses.

For some reason, the countess's daughter abandoned her haughty, swan-like expression and simply responded with a quiet, "Hmm..."

The prince, along with the court magician, stood behind Xue Lude, indicating their stance.

For both public and private reasons, the prince had to stand on Xue Lude's side. After all, this was the Grand Duke directly slapping him in the face, showing him no respect whatsoever.

If I were to back down here and be unable to protect even a daughter from a count's family who is one of my subordinates, where would my authority be? Where would my imperial power as the future emperor be?

If he can't even protect the daughter of an earl, how can his followers possibly believe that he can protect them?

Therefore, he had no choice but to stand on Xue's side, even if it meant another internal conflict and civil war.

The Blood Duke frowned as he watched the farce unfold. To be honest, he hadn't wanted things to escalate to this point. At the same time, he wondered if his son had lost his mind, that he must have taken a liking to Lana and wanted her.

However, he had no way to disobey the contract, and it didn't involve his interests. As for the count's girl, he didn't really care for her; she was just a nobody. He figured he could just take her without a second thought and didn't believe the girl or the mad viscount could say anything.

Little did he know, he was now also put on the hot seat. No one gave him any face, and he no longer obeyed the contract. Instead, he arrogantly looked at Xue Luding, this worthless viscount, and his fighting spirit soared. As a berserker, his muscles began to affect his brain.

"Heh, so you've teamed up? Don't accuse me of bullying the weak. Come at me all at once. Don't worry, it won't waste your time." The Blood Duke grinned. He hadn't fought a battle where he could go all out in a long time, and he also wanted to see how much magnanimity these future vassals of mere earls and viscounts could muster.

Similarly, he hadn't fought in a long time, and hadn't had any fun in a long time!

……

One minute later...

The Blood Duke lay on the ground, his entire body smoothly severed in half at the waist. His lower body remained standing, but his upper body, dripping with blood, lay on the ground. He raised his head and looked with difficulty at the moon in the sky.

"The younger generation has far exceeded my expectations. I'm truly sorry I didn't make you use your full strength..." Lying on the ground, with only his upper body remaining, the Blood Duke coughed up blood with difficulty. He felt his contract beginning to loosen, and he was about to dissipate...

"That kid seems to have been corrupted by something special. Be careful." As if a dying man's words are wise, the Blood Duke, who had just been all talk of "fighting is so exhilarating," revealed the information.

“We’ve known about this for a long time, which is why we asked the Mad Viscount to solve it. We never expected that you, this old relic, would actually be controlled by the contract.” The pirate woman said. She actually had some connection with this Blood Duke, and was a distant relative.

They also suspected that the Blood Duke, being a berserker, might just have wanted an excuse to have some fun fighting, but he didn't expect to be cut in half by the Space Slash in an instant.

Xue Dinglu silently put away his dimensional sword and looked at the Grand Duke who had been cut in half at the waist.

The bard had already fled when he sensed the danger, and the archers gave chase.

"Goodbye. If we have the chance, let's fight again. Next time, I will definitely force you to use your full strength..." The Blood Duke seemed to have finished speaking his last words before his entire soul disappeared.

Only a corpse, cut in half at the waist, remained on the spot; it was merely material to summon the spirits of heroes.
