Chapter 276: A Blood Donor... Er, Blood Provider
Chapter 276: A Blood Donor... Er, Blood Provider
As Night City blindly trusted him and popped the pill into his mouth without a word, Jeno Gulifi couldn't help but show a satisfied expression.
Of course, the satisfaction on his face was merely superficial, as he now held a disdainful attitude towards Night City.
Previously, he had considered Night City a capable individual due to his talent and strength, but now he realized that Night City was just an inexperienced kid.
Following Jeno Gulifi through an underground passage in the forest, Night City soon arrived at the so-called base of the Diabros Cult.
In reality, this base was nothing more than the sewers beneath the Capital City.
Night City was puzzled. He didn't have much information about the Diabros Cult, but he noticed that they seemed to prefer hiding underground when establishing their bases.
Upon entering the supposed base, Night City discovered that besides Jeno Gulifi, there was also a man wearing a white lab coat.
The man was disheveled, fitting the stereotype of a mad scientist, and nearby was an iron cage containing a girl.
The girl in the cage was clearly the mad scientist's experimental subject.
When Night City saw the girl in the cage, a fleeting flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
Night City didn't recognize the girl in the cage, and while he didn't consider himself a saint, he believed that all life deserved respect.
The girl in the cage appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, an age when she should have been a blossoming young lady, but her eyes were vacant and lifeless, and her legs had undergone a certain mutation, transforming into a monster-like form.
"Is this the royal bloodline of Midgar you mentioned?"
In response to the white-coated man's question, Jeno Gulifi smiled and nodded, "Although Alice Midgar is a talentless waste, she does carry the royal bloodline.
Our original target should have been Alice Midgar, but she is the kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman and a member of the Royal Knight Order, making it too difficult to capture her."
Upon hearing Jeno Gulifi's words, the white-coated man initially showed dissatisfaction, but then realized that with their current strength, capturing the kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman was indeed unrealistic. He then turned his attention to Alexia.
As the disheveled man with a greedy look in his eyes approached her, Alexia couldn't help but show a terrified expression.
Alexia had just seen the girl in the cage, and while she was willing to make some sacrifices for the kingdom, she couldn't bear the thought of becoming like that...
At this moment, Alexia's hands were bound, and she didn't even have her weapon. Facing the approaching man, she had no means to resist.
No, even if she had her weapon, escaping would be unlikely because she was no match for Jeno Gulifi.
Thus, with a terrified expression, Alexia could only turn her pleading gaze towards Night City.
In Alexia's eyes, Night City had been forced to join them, so she hoped he would be willing to help her.
However, just as Alexia looked at Night City with hopeful eyes, Night City turned his head away!
Night City's action wasn't due to cold-heartedness, but rather, it wasn't the right time for him to reveal his intentions.
(End of Chapter)He had only just gained Jeno Gulify's trust and knew nothing about this Diabros Cult base. He wanted to see if he could lure out other big fish.
If the man in the white coat intended to perform biological modifications on Princess Alexia, he would naturally step in to stop him.
But the man merely took a syringe and drew blood from her, which was well within Night City's tolerance.
After drawing three vials of blood from Princess Alexia, she was eventually tossed into an iron cage. To prevent her from dying, Jeno Gulify ordered Night City to go to the capital to buy some food.
The reason Jeno Gulify and his group captured Princess Alexia was not to use her as a test subject.
If she were merely a test subject, there would be no need to take such a huge risk to kidnap a royal princess.
As Jeno Gulify had said before, the most valuable thing about Princess Alexia was her royal bloodline, which was also the reason for her abduction.
A thousand years ago, the Diabrosect Demon's blood went into a frenzy and was eventually defeated by humans, elves, and orcs. However, the heroes who defeated the Diabrosect Demon were also cursed.
According to the Diablos Cult's research over the years, they found that the blood of the heroes' descendants would react violently with the Diabrosect Demon's blood.
The Midgar Kingdom's royal family were descendants of the human heroes, which was why Princess Alice Midgall possessed such powerful talent and mana.
Although Princess Alexia was not as outstanding as her sister, she still carried the blood of the heroes, and this was likely not a mistake.
Another girl locked in the cage was a carrier of the Diabrosect Demon's bloodline, one of the girls the Diablos Cult had gathered.
After adapting to the Diabrosect Demon's mana, most of these girls had become terrifying.
Princess Alexia was kidnapped to extract the hero's descendant blood from her and inject it into the Diabrosect Mana Adaptors for experimentation.
Once the research is successful, the newly born "Child of Diabros" will undoubtedly become an even more powerful existence.
Because they needed a sufficient blood supply, Jeno Gulify's group couldn't let Princess Alexia die; they needed a stable blood donor.
If she was only being drawn blood, Princess Alexia probably wouldn't die in a short time, so Night City wasn't in a hurry to act.
When he returned to the capital, the place had already descended into chaos.
This wasn't surprising since Princess Alexia, the second princess, had been kidnapped in the capital. It was as if she had been taken from her own home.
Especially since Princess Alice Midgall was truly a reliable sister, and upon learning of her sister's disappearance, she quickly led the kingdom's Royal Knight Order to the Mage Swordsman Academy and conducted a thorough investigation of all suspicious individuals.
In the Mage Swordsman Academy, Princess Alexia was known as the "Ice Maiden," and she didn't have many interactions with others.
Inevitably, Night City and Sida, who had interacted with her more frequently recently, were also summoned by the kingdom's strongest Mage Swordsman, Princess Alice Midgall.
