Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1087: Chapter 387: Royal Bloodline, Shadow of the Bloody Army

Lord Cao Xing was the first to ask, "Marita, has the curse on you been resolved?"

Hearing the concern in Lord Cao Xing’s voice, a touched expression appeared on the woman’s face.

She chuckled lightly and said, "I thought Lord Cao Xing would first ask me who these two gentlemen are."

"I didn’t expect you to care about my well-being first..."

"It seems, I hold quite a place in your heart."

Lord Cao Xing was momentarily stunned, then said, "Of course, since that time we parted, I have been constantly worried about your situation."

"But because the Youlan Kingdom is too far from here, I couldn’t get any updates on your condition; I could only pray for you in my heart."

The noblewoman smiled sweetly, "You’re such a sweet talker~"

After a pause, she slowly said, "Thank you for your concern, my curse is temporarily manageable."

[Due to your concern, Marita Vergas’ goodwill has increased...]

Upon hearing this, a relieved smile also appeared on Lord Cao Xing’s face.

However, what surprised him was that this [Life Withering Curse] couldn’t even be suppressed by someone like Chino, a heroic-level entity.

And yet Marita managed to resolve it so quickly?

Seemingly aware of his confusion, the noblewoman softly said, "Actually, it’s not entirely resolved. I just used a method to temporarily suppress it."

"If a solution isn’t found, there will still be the risk of it flaring up later."

Realization dawned in Lord Cao Xing’s eyes.

It was indeed as he suspected.

The Life Withering Curse is not so easily dealt with; she can only suppress it temporarily.

Lord Cao Xing no longer pursued this line of questioning. Instead, he turned to ask, "Have you figured out who cast this curse on you?"

Hearing this question, the noblewoman shook her head.

With a trace of worry on her face, she said, "Currently, it’s not certain."

"But based on some clues we have, it points directly to an organization called the Watchers."

"Watchers?" Lord Cao Xing asked in confusion.

"Yes, it’s a very ancient organization that hasn’t appeared on the Continent for many years."

"There are very few records about this organization."

"I only know that in the war thousands of years ago, the Bloody Army, which destroyed many kingdoms, had the shadow of the Watchers behind it."

"Now that the Life Withering Curse has reappeared, I suspect the Bloody Army might make a comeback."

"This is a significant matter for the kingdoms of the Western Continent."

"So, we’ve already begun to investigate this force secretly."

Lord Cao Xing nodded in realization.

He had gathered some key clues from Marita’s words.

The Watchers likely stand behind the Bloody Army.

And it’s possible that the Bloody Army will once again launch a war that could sweep across the entire Western Continent.

Lord Cao Xing was quite interested in this force.

After all, in his territory, many subjects held grudges against the Bloody Army.

The Char Clan, Centaur Clan, and even the Youlan Kingdom had once been invaded by the Bloody Army.

Blot was constantly thinking about revenge.

However, the strength of this Bloody Army must be extraordinarily terrifying!

Based on the traces left by the natives, it’s inferred that the Bloody Army once waged war all the way through, annihilating numerous kingdoms, nearly uniting the entire Western Continent.

As for the Watchers behind them, they are likely even more formidable.

Thus, if the Bloody Army really does make a comeback.

Then for the entire Western Continent, and many kingdoms, it would be extremely serious, potentially triggering a war that engulfs the entire Continent.

At that time... chaos would ensue.

Though it’s said that chaos brings forth heroes, chaos also means lives are cheap.

The Survivors have finally adapted, and the mortality rate has significantly decreased.

If such a large-scale war breaks out, it’s expected that no one can remain untouched, and everyone will be swept up in the turmoil, causing a spike in mortality rates!

However, if such a situation truly arises, the kingdoms would be the first to face the brunt of it.

Thinking this, Lord Cao Xing ceased to dwell on the matter.

He turned his head and asked, "Then, Lady Marita, what brings you to me today..."

Upon hearing this, the noblewoman’s solemn expression faded.

A smile bloomed like a rose on her face.

She murmured, "Lord Cao Xing, have you forgotten about the task you entrusted me with last time?"

Lord Cao Xing thought for a moment, then seemed to realize something, his eyes filled with a hint of uncertainty.

"You mean... the Ascalon Royal Bloodline?"

The noblewoman nodded with a soft smile, "Yes, I found it."

"Moreover, not only did I find the Royal Bloodline."

"I even brought them to you."

Upon hearing this, Lord Cao Xing’s eyes lit up with joy.

His gaze burned as he looked at Marita, his excitement couldn’t be contained.

Because with the appearance of this Royal Bloodline, it meant he could open the treasure of the Ascalon Underground Palace!

Not only could he find a way to repair the Legendary Weapon—Magdala.

There might also be a wealth of treasures contained inside.

Just thinking about it was exhilarating!

Under Lord Cao Xing’s fervent gaze, Marita gently said, "Robin, remove the veil, let Lord Cao Xing take a look."

At her words, the man beside her removed the black veil from his face, revealing a relatively young, fifteen or sixteen-year-old Western face.

His nose was high, his eyes a deep blue, his facial lines clear, giving a rugged impression.

However, this young man appeared a bit shy under Lord Cao Xing’s gaze.

He lowered his head, not daring to meet his eyes.

And information appeared before Lord Cao Xing.
