LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 263. The Guardian Cerulean Erzard
Lazarus' group talks to Duke Ludger. They now knew that the war was over and all the enemies of the Beastman Kingdom and the Scars supporters had been executed and exiled.
"Hector, Urs, Duke Alastair and Crown Prince of Lion Heart Empire Icarus, what is your goal in coming to Red Lion City? Are you looking for Material Beasts or information about rare Beasts?" Ludger asked.
The Red Lion City is famous for producing Rare Material Beasts and information about all the Beasts on Planet Antares. Despite their agricultural output, their farms and plantations are also famous
"Do you have 300 Beast poisons on this list?" Lazarus asked.
Ludger looked at the list of Beast poisons that were on the list that Lazarus had given.
"We have it all, although some of these poisons are very rare. Poison Demon Beasts and Grand Demon Beasts were always sought after by Assassins and Alchemists. But may I know what you need all of this Beast's poison for?" Ludger asked.
"Ludger, I used all of these poisons to awaken the Body Immunity Skill 300 Rank B+ poison for Hector, Icarus and Alastair." Lazarus answered.
"Uhuk! Uhuk!"
Alastair and Icarus who were chewing food choked on hearing the words of Lazarus.
"Dad! What do you want to do?" Alastair asked.
"Alastair any of these poisons can neutralize each other. I'll have you drink the poison and use it as water for you to take a bath. When you have awakened the Three Hundred Poison Immune Rank B+ Skill, I will add the dosage so that you can have Skill One Thausand Poison Immune Rank A and be born you will get Skill Poison Immune Rank S." Lazarus says.
"Well, I'll obey your orders!" Alastair nodded.
"Urs, I will also obey your orders!" King Hector smiled widely.
"Uncle, I will not refuse your orders. Even though you told me to fight with a Mythical Beast!" Icarus said as he chewed on a piece of meat. The handsome man with long blonde hair tied in a ponytail and those green eyes looked extremely excited.
...****************...
"Wait on! Have you guys gone crazy? You will die tragically by drinking and bathing with 300 different types of poison! Even for someone of the Mythical realm!" Ludger yelling.
Lazarus took out a bottle of Black Dragon Rank S poison. The black poison was placed in a specially made bottle.
"Alastair drank half a bottle of this Black Dragon poison!" Lazarus says.
"Wait on! Urs, do you want to kill your son!" Ludger gritted his teeth.
Alastair took the Black Dragon's poison, then drank it. Instantly his body began to blacken and his eyes turned red.
Lazarus slashed his hands and bled and gave his blood to Alastair. Instantly Alastair began to improve and slowly recovered.
"Haha. Daddy's! Is the Antidote Elixir your blood?" Alastair laughing.
"If you have a Rank S Poison Immunity Skill your blood will also turn into an Antidote Elixir of various types of poison." Lazarus answered.
Ludger doesn't believe it. "I don't believe him! The Black Dragon's poison is so powerful, how could your blood possibly offer it! It must be that the Black Dragon's poison is fake!" Ludger drank the Black Dragon's poison residue.
"Mahhhk!" Ludger shouted feeling his body paralyzed and burning. He could not even use his mana well.
Lazarus ate the meat satay that was there and just smiled watching Ludger.
"Haha. Which fool drank the Black Dragon poison directly? Even when the poison only slightly touches the skin, it will result in paralysis and terrible pain." Hector laughing.
"Please!! I-I trust you now!" Ludger fell to the floor and reached out to Lazarus.
Lazarus immediately gave Ludger his blood, then slowly Ludger's face and body slowly returned to normal.
"Alastair, how could you not feel so much pain while drinking the poison?" Ludger asked.
"Ludger, you've never been to Regulus! There the father always poisoned the food of Me, Icarus and Hector with various types of poisonous Herbs and Beast poison. We also climb a cliff every morning with our bare hands. After that we'll run for a few hours and practice sparing." Alastair said as he bit off a large piece of Beast meat.
"Have you forgotten something? We even practice by wearing a bracelet with 2 times the gravity!" Hector unleashed his Epic Rank Bracelet Gravity Artifact.
"No! Nah! The most painful exercise is when we have to swim up a waterfall in the cold Regulus region!" Icarus shivered in the cold.
"Whata! After all, you guys are able to get through all that hell training every day?" Ludger's golden eyes stared at Lazarus and the others.
"Ludger, it's not all hell training! But the real hell training will be done in the Carulean Forest. We came here is to go to the Carulean Forest Depth." Lazarus answered.
"No! Even a person of the Mythical Realm would have great difficulty going into the depths of the Carulean Forest! The depth of the Carulean Forest was extremely dangerous and confusing in contrast to the outside of the Carulean Forest which could still be explored by the humanoid race." Ludger yelling.
Lazarus, Alastair, Icarus and Hector smiled, they already knew how dangerous the depths of the Carulean Forest referred to as the Man Eater Forest/Man-eating Forest were. Few people could return after going into the depths of the Carulean Forest.
"I know the reason why you are trapped in the Legendary realm of level 81, even though Hector is already level 92 at the moment." Lazarus says.
"What do you mean?"
"Ludger, you're always desperate and scared when you think of others. Your despair, fear and regret become a wall that prevents you from going to a higher level." Lazarus drank his beer.
Ludger was surprised to hear Lazarus say. He felt he could not keep anything secret from Lazarus.
Ludger gritted his teeth. "Urs, what do you know about me?"
"Ludger Steel Heart Cerulean, from your name I remember a first-time story about a person named Edzard Steel Heart Cerulean The Guardian Blue Sky Knight." Lazarus says.
...****************...
"Why do you know about the story of my ancestors? Though the story is a story that has happened very long ago since the days of Myth/first age? The story was only passed down to every leader of the Steel Heart tiger Beastman Clan!" Ludger got up from his chair.
"Dad, I want to hear another story!" Alastair says.
"Uncle! All the stories you tell are 100% true! Can I write it?" Icarus pulled out a notebook.
"Please, I'll tell this story only once and Icarus you can't spread this story."
"Why?"
"Haha. The greed of the humanoid race was endless! Many stories have been erased or altered from history so that everyone does not fight each other. Like the story of Green King Alannia and Amber The Snake Tamer."
"We understand!"
"Cerulean Kingdom was a prosperous Kingdom in the past. There lived a tiger Beastman named Edzard, an Emperor realm tiger beastman who was extremely powerful."
"Wait on! How do you know the story?"
"Ludger, stop yelling!"
"Edzard is the Protective Knight of the Cerulean Empire, he is a Knight that is respected by everyone. But he was originally a slave, in the first age every race fought each other and enslaved each other. Edzard continued to fight and was able to survive thousands of wars so the Emperor made him the Knight bodyguard of the Pearl of the Cerulean Empire Princess Greta Cerulean."
"Wait on! That story is different from the one my ancestors told me down through the generations and where do you know the Princess' name?" Ludger broke out in a cold sweat, as Lazarus told the story his own eyes had seen.
"Ludger, if you cut out the story of Urs, then get the hell out of here!" Hector yelling.
"Well, I'll shut up!"
"Edzard became an enemy of his own race for helping humans. Edzard fell in love with Princess Greta, but he did not know what she was feeling. The relationship between Nobles and slaves was a very forbidden thing, even until now. Edzard continued to be Greta's friend, friend, and brother, but that was what triggered the tragedy of the collapse of the strongest Empire in the Western Continent in the past." Lazarus said coldly.
"Forward! What happened next! Urs, I swear by the name of Steel Heart I will repay this debt of Budi! When you finish your story!" Ludger shed tears.
"One day the Emperor died of old age. She has only one child, Princess Greta. Unlike his father who led fairly and firmly. Princess Greta is too kind-hearted and only cares about her people. Greta's kindness was used by other Nobles so that war for power often occurred among the Nobles. The Cerulean Empire began to decline, long dry seasons and Beast Waves were frequent in the Cerulean Empire. People assumed that it was all a curse because the Cerulean Empire was led by a wrong Emperor."
Alastair, Icarus and Hector listened with serious expressions to the story Lazarus was telling.
"Edzard continues to faithfully accompany Greta. Although he did not know that what he was feeling right now was love. One day the neighboring Imperial Crown Prince goes to propose to Princess Greta, he promises to help the Cerulean Empire provided that Greta marries him or the neighboring Empire will invade the Cerulean Empire. All the nobles and people of the Cerulean Empire urge Greta to marry the prince."
"Our ancestor! What about ancestors?"
"Edzard told Empress Greta that it was a trap. But for the sake of all the people of the Cerulean Empire, he sacrificed himself to marry the Prince. Edzard felt a pain that he had not felt in his heart and he realized that he had loved Greta all along. Cerulean means sky blue/Sky Blue. Edzard gives Greta Sky Blue Lily Rank Unique the same color as Greta hair as a wedding gift, she then accepts Greta's decision. The wedding was held one week later, but Edzard only saw Greta's departure from a distance and endured her heartache."
"Didn't the Crown Prince and Empress Greta live happily?" Icarus asked.
"The Crown Prince did not keep his promise and attacked the Cerulean Empire after 10 months of marrying Empress Greta. His followers and troops massacred all the Nobles and people of the Gretan Empire. Sensing something bad is happening to Princess Greta, Edzard goes to the neighboring Empire to save Greta. He managed to infiltrate Crown Prince Castle and Empress Greta, but he saw something very tragic. Empress Greta in handcuffs in a dungeon in the condition of both eyes being gouged out and heavily pregnant, she is seen to have endured the most cruel torture of the Crown Prince and his wife."
"What! Didn't Princess Greta survive and marry Edzard's ancestor?"
Lazarus shook his head. "Princess Greta gave birth in a dungeon with the help of Edzard's best friend Melia The Rainbow Crystal Witch. Princess Greta gave birth to a baby girl with golden hair and golden eyes and was named Laura. Greta tells Edzard to take care of her daughter and she dies."
"Is this the real story? That bastard! This story is tragic!" Hector was crying.
"It's not finished yet! Edzard and Melia were known to the guards, so a fight was inevitable. In the fight Edzard managed to behead the Crown Prince and kill everyone involved in the tragedy. However the neighboring Imperial Emperor immediately sent all of the Empire's forces to kill Edzard and Melia. Edzard and Melia are dying from fighting with many people, but Melia willingly sacrifices herself, then sends Edzard and baby Laura on the run using the forbidden magic skill."
"Why would the Melia Witch willingly sacrifice herself for Edzard?" Alastair asked.
"Edzard secretly loves Greta and Melia secretly loves Edzard. Melia sacrifices herself to protect the man she loves. Although Edzard does not realize that Melia is in love with him. Before her death Melia said "Edzard I love you so much! We'll meet again in the Garden of Eden or the next life." "
"How is the condition of Ancestor Edzard and are we not descendants of Greta's ancestors and daughters?" Ludger yells.
"Edzard and Laura returned and lived in the ruins of the Cerulean Empire. The neighboring empire thought Edzard and Laura were dead when Melia blew herself up. Edzard took care of Laura like his own son, albeit with a body that was gravely ill from the wounds inflicted during the fight. He kidnaps a scholar to teach himself and Laura about a lot of science. She and Laura also planted Sky Blue Lily Rank Unique and Blue Ilussion Rose Rank Unique in the ruins of the Cerulean Empire as both flowers were well-liked by Greta and Melia."
"Dad, are Sky Blue Lily Rank Unique and Blue Ilussion Rose Rank Unique the 2 herbs that caused the Cerulean Forest to be covered by an illusionary mist?" Alastair asked.
"Sky Blue Lily Rank Unique can produce mist and Illusion Rose Lily Rank Unique can produce Illusion. These two flowers thrived and eventually the drought soil began to rain and the trees, herbs, began to grow for tens of thousands of years the Cerulean Forest was formed from the ruins of the Cerulean Empire."
"What happened to Ancestors Edzard and Laura?" Ludger asked with a serious expression.
"Laura fell in love with Edgar and eventually they got married. They have 7 healthy children and one of their children is married to the Lion Beastman Clan. Their descendants from the Lion Beastman Clan were called the Golden Mane Clan and the others took the name Steel Heart. Edzard died afterwards because of his injuries and old age. Laura kept the Blue Sky Spear Rank Mythical in the middle of the Cerulean Forest, then stabbed her own heart and died beside Edzard with a smile."
"Wait means Ludger and I have blood ties!! Me and the Golden Mane Clan are also descendants of the ancestors of Edzard and Laura!" Hector yelling.
Lazarus nodded. "Your golden hair comes from Laura. Your gold-eye Ludger is also from Laura. You are the descendants of Edzard and Laura."
"How do you know that story?"
"I read Melia, Laura and Edzard's diary that I found in an antique store. Did you guys forget I contracted a Dragon? I understand most of the ancient letters."
"Sih bastard! Is the great Empire that made my ancestors suffer still exists to this day!" Hector yelling.
"I will always remember!" Ludger yells.
"The empire still stands firm to this day." Lazarus smiled.
"Whataaaaa!" Everyone is screaming.
"Zephyra Empire! The greatest empire in the Western Continent and I guess that Empire being the protector of the Western Continent is to atone for many of their sins in the past."
Everyone is surprised. Lazarus continued to eat his meat.
"Fuck! I've been telling you stories for 2 hours. You should have prepared some more food!" Lazarus shouted to see all the plates that were in the empty sina.
"Are you human? Or is your stomach made of rubber?"
