Chapter 749: Refusal
For evil dark wizards, parents, loved ones, friends are never something they need to cherish. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just a prop for them to complete more evil magic, one of the important magic materials, very effective and cruel.
Think about it, what material could be more evil than using the blood, bones and souls of your own parents and brothers?!
For example, Voldemort's father, Tom Riddle Sr., Voldemort only needs him when he is resurrected, and he needs his bones.
As a servant of the demons, Ariana regards the lives and souls of others as sacrifices needed by the demons to descend, and she even dedicates her own soul to the soul, and has completely lost her mind, or more accurately, her humanity.
She can no longer be counted as a person, but as a devil from hell.
Evan sighed, how terrifying the unrestrained power of magic was.
This incident is nothing more than a microcosm of Europe hundreds of years ago during the Age of Dark Magic, when blood and sin were everywhere......
The truth of the facts is far more shocking than what you have seen and heard in books.
"I knew I couldn't escape, and she wouldn't let me go. I'm cursed by that demon!" Shuklia continued, his faint voice evoking fear deep in a person's heart, "but I can't let her complete that ritual, I have to stop her, or I won't be able to find peace for my soul after I die." So, before she came and killed me, I turned all the souls in the castle into owls at the cost of my own life. ”
If she wasn't lying, that's how the Owl Fortress was born.
But Evan didn't believe that what she said was all she said, maybe it was just part of the truth!
Like Ariana, Shuklia glorified his sins for noble reasons.
"Is that what the curse is all about?"
"It's not a curse, it's a protection, and I protect these souls from being devoured by demons. Shuklia said excitedly, and then calmed down instantly, "Of course, I don't deny it, it's also a kind of protection for myself, I hide in these souls, so that the demon can't find me." ”
"How did you do that?" Evan asked, looking at Shuklia floating in the air like smoke, "those souls were all part of this castle during their lifetimes, and they should have obeyed Ariana's orders, right?"
No wonder the ghost had been seen before saying that it could not break the oath it had made, and that it could not divulge all the things about that person, presumably referring to their oath of allegiance to Ariana, the magic that the ancient pure-blood wizard family used on its servants was still in effect even hundreds of years after their deaths.
Speaking of which, ghosts like it are the truly pitiful ones.
They were innocently involved in the conspiracy and could not rest in peace, until now they thought that the mistress had killed them, but they had to obey her orders.
"After turning into owls, they no longer have any stellar minds, so naturally they can't hear the demon's orders to them, and she can't find which one of the thousands of owl ghosts is me. "But as soon as you return to human form, the magic that used to be will work, and she will command them again, as you just saw......"
"Well, how did she order them, I didn't see her there at the time!"
"Except for this place, the entire fortress is under her watch. Hundreds of years of strife have allowed us to know each other, even better than ourselves. I know that she had received a mirror from the demon that was now her manifestation, capable of revealing everything in and around the castle. Shuklia said.
"You mean, she can see us?!" Evan was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought, "Then when I came here, did she also know the location of this totem." ”
"Yes, but it doesn't matter!" said Shuklia, "she's known about it for a long time, but there's no way to get in, but it's a matter of time." Long ago, my power began to wane, and for hundreds of years, the stupid adventurers who kept breaking in destroyed the magic I had left in the castle, I couldn't suppress her anymore, she was getting stronger and stronger, and she could even leave the mirror and get in touch with her offspring or other greedy wizards to lure them into depravity. ”
At the mention of this, Evan thought of the Owl Man, the terrifying humanoid monster.
"She imparted the forbidden demonic powers to the greedy wizards, making them believe that they would become stronger. But that's only part of it, and they all end up being a mix of a lower demon and a human, like the owl people you said. Shuklia looked at Evan and hesitated for a moment, "I don't want to lie to you, I hope to get your help, I can feel that although you are not very old, you are very smart, unlike those wizards." I can tell you that when she seduced the wizards who entered the castle to fall, I also spoke to them through the forces of nature, hinting at them, telling them about the wrong magic, so that after they became demons, they lost their minds, could not serve her, became pure monsters, or simply died......"
Insidious indeed, these adventurers who thought they had gotten everything and became more powerful were nothing more than playthings in the hands of two women. But to be honest, Evan didn't feel surprised anymore, and from what she had done in Shuklia's previous story, it would have been a strange thing not to do.
No wonder, Ariana would turn to herself for help, and Evan was probably her new prey.
If Evan didn't do anything, he would have sprinkled the blood and the contents of the bottle on this totem as the other party said, and now that the horror was already dead and could not die anymore, Shuklia would not let him go.
"Well, now that you've told me everything, what do you want me to do?" said Aven.
"Save me from this nightmare, stop that demon, destroy that mirror, or wait until she regains her strength and successfully summons the real demon, everyone will die, no one will be able to escape, that is a terrible force beyond imagination. Shuklia said.
"But it doesn't mean anything to me, we're just outsiders, we'll leave Dijon tomorrow, and even if she becomes a real demon, that's a headache for the French Ministry of Magic and the Aurors, I already have a lot of trouble there that hasn't been solved, and I don't want to cause new trouble!" said Aven, shaking his head after a moment of careful consideration, "To be honest, I'm tired of this matter after hearing you tell this story, it's far more complicated than I thought at the beginning, I don't ...... it"
