The northern part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range is a wild land, a cold and barren land, where the ground is frozen more than a meter thick all year round, and only a few tenacious demon plants can grow there, and there are also tenacious orc races.
South of the Warcraft Mountain Range is the territory of the human race, thousands of years ago in the war, the beast god of war was defeated by the human god of war, and the beast tribe was forced to migrate to the north of this barren land. There are still many orc tribes who believe in the god of war, but Asiba's group is an exception, they are now worshipped by ancestors, because the patriarch said that the current god of war is no longer the original god of war, and he will not provide protection for the orcs who believe in him, and believers do not have to believe in it anymore.
There was also no shortage of wars between the various orc races, many of which were caused by differences of faith, and the Axiba tribe was a small race, but all of them were brave and good at fighting, and never lost a battle with the other races. Aciba, on the other hand, was the strongest warrior of the entire clan, and he regarded it as an honor, believing that sooner or later he would be able to lead his people through the Isthmus of the Fallen Eagle and rebuild his territory in the vast expanse south of the Demonic Beast Mountains.
However, all illusions were shattered under the wall of sighs that year, and under the majestic walls formed by the forbidden spell casting, the orcs who did not know how to build siege engines were naturally defeated. All of Aciba's ambitions were mercilessly crushed under the wall of sighs, and he could only flee to the wilderness like a lost dog with his tribe in a daze.
After that, it seems that the life of the orcs has returned to its original state, the excess population has been consumed in the war, and they have resumed their hunting and fighting day after day, and the people of Asiba are still brave and warlike, but Asiba will no longer see himself as a hero.
Two years ago, Aciba's people were slaughtered by Kevin, ending their miserable lives. Aciba was reduced to slavery and taken to St. Yale by Kevin. At first, it hated Kevin, but as time went on, it found itself seeing Kevin as a representative of the Terrans, and in fact it hated the Terrans who occupied large tracts of land. However, Darko and the others did not treat it badly, never treating it like a slave, but getting along with it as if it were the seventh partner in the team. Aciba gradually realized that it was not the Terrans that it hated, but its weak self.
After participating in the Alchemy Grand Prix, Assiba saw more of its kind share the same fate as it, and it knew that even without Kevin, their race would sooner or later fall into the hands of other mercenaries or slave catchers. If anyone is at fault, it is only the fault of their own ignorance and weakness. If you can't survive in this world of the jungle, then perdition is the only way out. The Alchemy Grand Prix also made Aceba understand the power of magical civilization, inscriptions, jewelry, enchantments, potions, etc., all of which are not possessed by the orcs.
After the game, without any hesitation, it decided to follow Darko and the others on an adventure, only by staying in the human race, it can make itself continue to become stronger, and only when it becomes stronger can it change the situation of the orcs curled up in the wilderness for generations. In the process of being with Darko and others, it keeps getting stronger, and at the same time, it keeps recognizing its own weakness.
When it arrives in the ruins of the dead, it thinks it is strong but not enough to deal with the dangers in the ruins, but many people who are weaker than it can pass through the corridors, so Asiba realizes that it is not his strength that makes him weak, but his mind that can analyze and think about problems. When it realized this, it resolutely made a request to Daktronic and became Daktronics' magic pet.
Asiba knew that wisdom could not be enhanced by glyphs or enchantments, so it had to find someone to be its master and help it with the work of thinking, and that it only had to fight. So in Aciba's thinking, he can only distinguish whether the other party is a friend or an enemy, regardless of how powerful the other party is.
When Vitq appeared, Ashiba wanted to knock it down, but he couldn't fly, so he could only watch. So when it saw Vitj coming, it rushed forward desperately.
β¦β¦
"Aciba!" Darko rushed to the ground, but all he could do was the blood all over the ground, and the bright red blood was on Darko's body and face, but he didn't realize it. The inside of the epic armor was only fragments of body tissue, and the head inside the helmet was still relatively intact, and the round eyes were a little overwhelmed, as if they couldn't figure out why their body suddenly couldn't bear the weight of the armor.
Darko looked at Aciba in a daze, then looked up at Vitj blankly, "You...... Why...... Why kill it?"
"Who killed it. Vitj inexplicably asked rhetorically in a declarative tone, "You have eyes that can see cause and effect, why don't you see for yourself?"
Darko was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Aciba's corpse with apprehension, and the pupil of cause and effect gradually emitted two blue rays. After a long period of use and practice, Darko's Pupil of Cause and Effect has been able to see deeper cause and effect, and the number of connections has increased more than tenfold. At this moment, I saw gray-black lines representing the cause of death spreading out of Aciba's body, and one of them was connected to Darko's own body.
Darko had a frightened look on his face, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the blue light of the pupils of cause and effect formed a halo that enveloped his entire eyeball, and his pupils turned into a deep deep blue. But the results he saw did not change, but pointed all the fingers at himself, the murderer.
"No! it can't be!" Darko suddenly covered his eyes with his hands, but he couldn't stop the visions that appeared in his eyes. He seems to see many, many fragments of the past and the future, which are somewhere between the unreal and the real, each real and each false. Whether it is true or not depends only on the choices he makes on the basis of many nodes.
β¦β¦
"Hey, Darko, I almost forgot about it. It was just because I noticed that you were coming, and I was in a hurry to tell you that I ruined the scroll. Orlando suddenly dragged Darko and said happily, "Come with me to the trial tomorrow!"
"Trial?" Darko was stunned for a moment, wondering why the inscriptionist still needed to go out for a trial, "What are you going to do?"
"I've conceived a new fourth-order inscription loop structure that requires the sap of the vampire vine. Orlando danced excitedly, "The sap of the vampire vine needs to be used within half an hour of taking it out, otherwise it will dry up, so I'll have to run it myself!"
"Orlando, you're so powerful! Now you're just a grade, as long as you can rise to the level of a magister, I'll call you Grandmaster of Inscriptions in the future!" Darko joked happily, and then he said with some embarrassment, "But I'm afraid I can't go to the trial with you, I have to stay with my master, and she will definitely be unhappy if she knows that I went out privately." β
"Ah, I forgot you still have a master. Okay, I'll find someone else to come with me. β
β¦β¦ So Orlando didn't die.
β¦β¦
"Ahh
"Well, my head hurts. Darko covered his head and slowly stood up, fortunately, there was no damage to his limbs except for headaches, his previous battle with the orcs had been under heavy magical defense, even if he fell from the air, he was protected by stone skin magic, and then through the healing magic released by Kevin, the internal organs and the bleeding caused by the mental impact were also treated, only the wounds on the soul could not be healed.
Seeing Darko stand up, Kevin hurriedly blessed him with another magical defense, and at the same time blocked in front of him, killing the orcs who rushed forward with fireballs, "Are you okay? Ready, we're going to escape." β
Darko shook his head and looked towards the place where the explosion had just occurred, where Vitk4 was also badly injured and would not be able to catch up with them. Although he was unwilling in his heart, Darko still turned his head, "Let's run, don't worry about that killer, we will be safe in the Dark Church." β
β¦β¦ So Ah Wu did not die.
β¦β¦
"Can you teach me how to draw this pattern? I can pay you gold ore!" Sally suddenly became eager and got up from the bathtub.
Darko asked curiously, "Why do you want to learn about magic circles so much? You have to know that everything comes step by step, and there are no shortcuts." If you learn the magic array when you are just in contact with magic, it will definitely be half the effort, and the gains outweigh the losses. β
Sally was criticized by Darko and suddenly fell into a low position, she hooked her fingers tightly and was silent for a long time before muttering, "I want to build a magic circle in the village that can produce clear water, just like in the Ocean Church." As long as there is water, the villagers have the most basic livelihood security, and the mortality rate can be reduced a lot. And with enough water, you can grow food and vegetables, and you no longer have to fight wild beasts in the wilderness for food. β
"I see. Darko's expression gradually became serious, and after thinking for a while, he still shook his head solemnly, "But it's not a matter of money, I still have to repair the inscriptions on the prison wall, I don't have time to teach you these things, I'm sorry." β
β¦β¦ So Sally didn't die.
β¦β¦
After Acciba recovered, he kept yelling at Darko, who cast a spell on a homophonic interpreter to know its meaning, and was immediately stunned, "What are you talking about?
Aciba's huge head nodded, and the muscles on his body bulged one by one, indicating his determination, and his eyes were also rare serious.
Darko thought for a moment and said, "I know you thought that because you couldn't find the hall alone on this level, but do you know what it means to be a pet? It means a slave, once you become someone else's pet, you are no longer free." β
Ashiba let out a loud roar and straightened his chest muscles again, as if to say, "I want to have more power than freedom." β
Darko knew that with Aciba's level and attributes, he could have rushed all the way over. But it doesn't know how to analyze the characteristics of this layer of alchemy traps, and when it sees a trap, it has to go over and fight back, causing itself to fall into danger, if it is not discovered by Romano, it may have died in the passage. What Ashiba lacks is not strength, but wisdom, but there is nothing the orcs can do to improve their intelligence, so Ashiba insists on being his pet.
But Darko shook his head firmly and said, "You are free, and I will not let you be my pet." β
β¦β¦ So Aciba did not die.
β¦β¦
In the more distant future, the power of the Pupil of Cause and Effect can no longer be seen through, only plausible vague fragments flash quickly.
β¦β¦
Orlando explores the ruins of death, copying the Forbidden Curse Scroll while possessed by the Grim Reaper, fulfilling a long-cherished wish......
Ah Wu returned to the Hell of the Undead, and after hundreds of years of obscene development, he became the great lord of the Megatron side......
Sally married a circuit missionary, traveled to the Armas plane, and had children......
Asiba returned to the Savage Lands to establish his own power, unify the entire Orc, and spread a new faith......
β¦β¦
Darko clutched his hair with both hands and screamed hysterically, "No! I'm not the one who directly caused their deaths! If it's indirect killing, aren't the rest of you indirect murderers? You're all murderers!"
Darko himself actually knew this best, he had read all the canons of the thirteen churches, and no matter which church's canons, there was no charge of indirect murder, just because everyone was an indirect murderer.
"As long as there is a change of life and death in this world, then the dead are all killed by the living in order to live. Whenever a person dies, the cause and effect are evenly distributed to all who are alive. Everyone is, no one is innocent, and no one deserves pity. This is the causal connection between people in the law. Vitj's voice struck Darko's aching mind without mercy, "As long as you want to continue to live, then every bite of food you eat, every sip of fresh water you drink, every resource you consume, every breath of air you breathe, these 'causes' will eventually become the 'consequences' of other people's death." We, the killers, are just simplifying this complex cause and effect. β
"How so?" Darko muttered blankly, but his voice was hoarse.
In his previous life, in Bright's remaining memories, too many people wanted to die by themselves, so he had to survive when he became a Darko. It seems that surviving and making those people restless has become his motivation and the meaning of life. When no one pursues him anymore, once upon a time, he stood on the opposite side? Do you also want others to die? When he sees others crying, he laughs, when he sees others sad, he will be happy, and the death of others brings out the happiness of his life......
Looking back, in the highly developed plane of the magical civilization he experienced, there were two words written full of words - cannibalism.
In the pupil of cause and effect, the connections on Darko's body are entangled one by one, as if they are involved in his every joint, as if manipulating his every action. It turns out that everyone is a puppet who can't help himself, and they are all puppets manipulated by the causal connection.
Dakota's bloodshot red eyes were covered in blue, but he couldn't hide the grief in them, and he jerked his head up and asked Vitj, "What are you saying to me about this?"
"This is, as I understand it, the law. Vitj's tone was flat, "The Divine Tomb is the core secret of the guild and cannot be known to outsiders, and joining the guild is your only way out." β
Darko looked down blankly and looked at his hands, which were swirling with a mess of causal threads, but the color had somehow become pure and pure, red as blood.
Looking at this dense connection, I found that these connections were wrapped around the body of the god at some point.
Does even this causal connection make me relate to Him, and can I make it easier to be in the midst of this mess of cause and effect?
As Darko's mind turned, a contract was created out of thin air in the center of the imprisoned god and him.
"Your code name is vitd38. β
Bright red contract runes twisted and connected in the air, like a grinning statue.
