Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 70 The Gift of Death

In the dense forest.

"Water, freeze the magic pattern."

Xia Mingyu condensed blank magic power at his fingertips, drew and superimposed magic patterns in the air, and created a piece of clear ice.

"Take a look at your new protection." Xia Mingyu said calmly.

"Thank you, my lord!" Berg suddenly made close contact with his forehead on the ground, and then he couldn't wait to look at the reflection on the ice.

A line of emerald green text caught his eye - "comrades", and a message also flowed into his mind.

Walking with the King: When you are loyal to your lord, your strength will be increased, and the angrier the lord is, the stronger your increased strength will be. At the same time, the strength increased after each loyalty will be slightly retained.

Concentricity: You can have a telepathic conversation with your lord across a distance with their tacit consent, and your lord can have a telepathic conversation regardless of your wishes.

It turned out to be the protection of an extraordinary status!

Berg was shocked at first, and then he was ecstatic.

You have to know that most of the nobles in this world are just blessed with the status of mortals. After all, not all nobles can become lords.

And he, a refugee civilian from a hunter family, was actually on the same level of status as Viscount Hughes, the master of the Black Wolf Territory!
What an honor it is, and how grateful he is!
Berg only felt that being rescued by his lord and asking his lord to accept him as a servant was the best decision he had ever made.

At this moment, Berg felt that every organ, every drop of blood, and every hair in his body were trembling wildly and shouting two words - loyalty!
"Master, I will never forget your kindness. I will shed every drop of my blood for you and become your most loyal hound."

Bang bang bang!
Berg kept banging his head against the wet ground as if it were his enemy.

If Xia Mingyu hadn't helped him up in time, he would have probably made a small hole.

"Alright, alright, tell me what abilities you've gained."

"Your Highness, the ability I have obtained is..."

After listening to his story, Xia Mingyu fell into deep thought.

Walking with the King, sharing the same heart. Why do these two abilities always give him the feeling of playing Pokémon?

But it is quite useful, at least for him.

"Berg, besides these two abilities, do you have any other abilities?" Xia Mingyu said silently in his heart.

He did not forget that the most crucial role of a comrade is to enable the other party to awaken his own unique gifts based on his potential and will.

"There seems to be another one, but it requires a bow and arrow to use."

After a moment, he heard Berg's obviously uncertain voice in his heart.

"Let's go back and get the bow and arrow."

About half an hour later, the two men returned to the dense forest with bows and arrows.

Under Xia Mingyu's gaze, Berg took out an iron arrow from the quiver behind him and put it on the bowstring. Then he closed his eyes and sensed the inexplicable strange power in his body.

A minute later, Berg opened his eyes. The whites of his eagle-like fierce brown eyes gradually disappeared, and his entire eyes turned into an incomparably gorgeous ice blue, and were still flashing a faint light.

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from him, or rather, it was more like the instinctive vigilance of a living creature facing its natural enemy.

Wow!
The birds flying hundreds of meters away from the dense forest seemed to be frightened and flew madly away from Berg.

For a moment, the flapping of birds' wings almost drowned out all the surrounding sounds like a tsunami.

Boom, boom, boom.

Even Xia Mingyu himself instinctively quickened his heartbeat when he sensed this threat.

Swish!
At this time, Berg pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and the longbow in his hand shot out the arrow like a full moon. The sharp arrow head cut through the air and made a whistling sound.

But its target wasn't the panicked birds in the sky, but a towering old tree not far ahead, so thick that it would take several people to hug it. Bang!
As expected, the arrow hit the hard tree trunk, and the arrowhead was firmly embedded in the trunk.

At first, the ancient tree seemed to have no reaction. After all, compared with its huge trunk, the wound caused by the arrow was not as serious as a person's toenail injury.

However, a few seconds later, something strange happened.

The part of the trunk hit by the arrow quickly became shriveled and withered, and this withered feeling quickly spread to the entire tree.

rustling.

As if the breath of autumn swept over in an instant, the branches and leaves of the ancient trees quickly turned yellow and withered, and then countless leaves fell one after another, drawing desolate arcs in the air like dying butterflies.

The entire trunk withered and turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the crown drooped like a skeleton that had lost its support.

Before long, this towering ancient tree that had grown for decades became a shriveled old tree, as if hundreds of years had passed in an instant.

It's dead.

Xia Mingyu clearly realized this fact.

Then his pupils suddenly shrank, the muscles in his cheeks twitched slightly, and his eyes were full of shock as he looked at Berg.

"Have you been given the gift of accelerating the passage of time by hundreds of years in an instant?!" Xia Mingyu said in disbelief.

You know, any ability that involves time is undoubtedly the most advanced ability in the world.

Could it be that the young hunter who saved him from the wolf's mouth was actually a steed with unlimited potential?

"Master, what are you thinking about? How could I possibly receive such an exaggerated gift?" Berg said, feeling both amused and helpless.

His eyes had returned to normal at this moment, but he was breathing heavily, sweat was pouring down his forehead, and he looked extremely tired.

The arrow just now seemed to have drained all his strength.

As expected, he wasn’t that lucky. Xia Mingyu was calm but also a little disappointed.

"I just got the gift of being able to see my prey die." Berg explained slowly.

Xia Mingyu: “.”

Damn, I hate this kind of European dog the most!

Although he has a lot of abilities, he doesn't have any top-level offensive abilities like this.

But he remembered that he and his brother were comrades. It seemed that he could borrow the abilities of his comrades.

Thinking of this, Xia Mingyu's eyes narrowed.

"Tell me more about your gift."

“I seem to see the death of all things, but there is only one point where I can bring death.”

It took Xia Mingyu almost ten minutes to understand Berg's overly abstract narration.

Gift: Death of All Things

You can see the death of a living being and materialize it as a moving point on the living being - the death point. You only need to use a weapon to break that death point, and you can ignore the rules and directly kill the other party.

It seems that the more noble the creature, the harder it is to see the dead point, and the greater the burden on the body, because Berg said that he just glanced at himself with the corner of his eye, and he felt that his eyes were about to explode with pain, and he could not see any dead point at all.

"I still don't quite understand. In that case, let me try it myself." Xia Mingyu's mouth curled up slightly.

"Berg, I want to borrow your gift, will you accept it?" he asked.

"Everything I have, my flesh, blood, soul and glory, belongs to you. How can you say it's borrowed?" The young hunter knelt on one knee and said solemnly.
