Chapter 582 Medici: Do you want the Sequence 3 recipe?

Deep in the Sunia Sea, on an unnamed island, Luze is alone.

When the virtual persona returned from above the gray fog, all the memories immediately flooded into his mind, making him feel as if he were actually there, taking control of the entire meeting.

The Hermit is Gadriya; she's the one who leaked the information to the Queen... The other members are all happy to provide potion ingredients... The current state of Backlund... Fursak's strange behavior... The rumors surrounding Elder Lovia the Shepherd... And the dreams of the Giants' Court and the ruins of the divine war...

As he was slowly savoring these memories, the bushes in front of him suddenly swayed, and then someone walked over.

The newcomer had bright red hair and a refined, noble appearance. He looked at him with some nervousness and unease.

Sofia Einhorn.

"Captain, I have something to discuss with you."

she says.

"It's related to your father, isn't it?"

Lu Ze asked.

"Huh? How did you know?"

Sophia was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized, "That's right, Captain, your information is definitely better than mine... Just like you said, I heard rumors at the pirate convention that my father is critically ill."

As she said this, a complex mix of worry, sorrow, and inner turmoil welled up in her beautiful eyes. "I want to go back to Fursack to see him."

Although her old-fashioned father forced her into a marriage, he genuinely cared about her. Looking back now, before she ran away, her father's face seemed to grow paler and more hunched.

Sofia was afraid that if she didn't hurry back, she really wouldn't be able to see him one last time.

Aren't you worried that he'll arrange for you to marry someone else?

Lu Ze asked.

Somewhere inside his body, the evil red angel opened its eyes.

No, it won't.

Sophia smiled weakly. "He's already critically ill. Even if he really forces me, I can just run away again... But what I'm worried about is that if I don't go to see him this time, I'll really never see him again."

"Alright then."

Lu Ze nodded and said, "You joined my fleet voluntarily back then, so of course you can leave now."

However, I have one request.

At this point, he looked at Sophia and said, "You are not allowed to reveal any information about me or my crew members."

"I swear to the God of War, I will never tell."

What's the use of swearing an oath?

Lu Ze shook his head. "How about this, I'll erase all your memories before you disembark."

"And while you're at it, get a vial of her blood too."

"It's inside him," Medici added.

Lu Ze ignored him.

"No problem, Captain."

Sophia nodded. "I trust your character, Captain. Even if you were to harm my memories, you certainly wouldn't hurt me. So, Captain, is it settled then?"

"Okay, tell Anderson when you go out, then you can pack your things."

Their fleet would continue westward and drop her off on an island with the Fussack embassy.

Didn't you hear me just now?

Once Sophia left, Medici inside Luze immediately started acting up, saying, "I told you, I wanted to keep a vial of that woman's blood."

He seems to be very persistent about this matter.

Why should I listen to you?

Lu Ze calmly countered with a question.

Medici already has a vial of Elaine Soren's blood, and if he adds Sophia Einhorn's blood, there will be two direct descendants of the three angels. Furthermore, he had previously promised to visit Banshee, the place where Medici's descendants reside—the bloodlines of all three will soon be complete.

"...Heh, are you afraid of me?"

The red evil spirit within him was silent for a moment, then laughed. "Indeed, the power I displayed before was too great, it's inevitable that you felt fear... It's alright, don't feel ashamed, that's a perfectly reasonable emotion."

Lu Ze smiled after hearing this.

"Stop with your nonsense, Medici. Your taunts won't work on me."

"Okay, then let's tell the truth."

Medici said, "I do need that woman's blood; it will be the key to my resurrection..."

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow.

Medici's words were so blunt that they were a little hard for him to accept. But this guy was always cunning, and it was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or not; perhaps there was something else hidden in these so-called truths.

"You are indeed very powerful; you managed to suppress me temporarily with that tidal wave."

Medici said, "But you can't imprison me forever. I am the King of Angels, and sooner or later I will break free from your control... At that time, we may need to resolve our differences properly..."

"

ha?

Lu Ze frowned. "Are you threatening me?"

"Whoosh..."

The illusory tide was about to surge forth.

"Hehe, what I mean is, we should try to avoid conflicts between us, as it's not good for you to use my abilities."

""

Medici toned down his laughter slightly, his tone a little awkward. "How about this: if you give me her blood, I'll tell you the Sequence 3 potion recipe for the Mystic Path. What do you say?"

Lu Ze's control of the tide paused.

"What did you say?"

"The Sequence 3 recipe for your current pathway."

Medici laughed, "I can even tell you that its name is the Trinity Church."

"

Lu Ze took a deep breath.

The recipe he had been searching for had not been obtained through various channels, but it turned out that the clue was actually in Medici's body.

Is it absurd?

Somewhat.

Is it reliable?

Hard to say.

How can I be sure you're not lying to me?

He asked in a deep voice, trying to keep his emotions calm and not let the other party take the initiative.

"I have lived through several epochs. Is it unreasonable for me to know a mere Sequence 3 formula?" Medici laughed. "Besides, one of the angel kings who was once my equal has mastered this path. Even from Him, I can learn a lot of knowledge."

"Is the Angel King you're talking about the one you mentioned before?"

Luze carefully avoided mentioning Sasriel's name, asking indirectly instead.

"Hehe, isn't that right?"

Medici's reply remained ambiguous.

'

Lu Ze didn't ask any more questions, but frowned and thought for a moment.

Should I say yes to this guy?

From a purely rational perspective, Medici's words are quite credible, but given his character and personality, it's hard to say whether the formula he provided is dangerous.

However, since the recipe could not be obtained through other channels, this guy became the only source.

Lu Ze thought about it carefully.

How about using it only as a last resort?

In other words, keep Sofia's blood, but don't give it to Medici yet. Only when you're truly out of options and can't find the formula anywhere else should you use it to negotiate with Medici.

This way, we can preserve an opportunity and have some buffer space so that we won't be immediately harmed by Medici.

Lu Ze made a decision quickly.
