Chapter 825: Reason
"What are you going to do?"
"It's up to you." Salin seemed to hand over the initiative to Lin An.
Lin An didn't think that he would erase Sidney's murderous intentions against him, he pondered for a moment, and still said, "You go back with me." β
A subtle look flashed in Salin's eyes, and he seemed to smile, "I'm really a little jealous of your trust in Elvis." β
"You confront him as quickly as possible to get to the bottom of the facts." None of the one-sided statements of these two people can be fully believed.
Saleen shrugged and stood up.
β¦β¦
Three days later.
Sidney emerged from the ice cave of retreat, and a familiar aura emerged from the outer cave, unabashedly in his perception.
His soul fire jumped, floating in the air and slowly turning, Lin An and Salin stood in the cave, watching him.
There was silence in the cave.
In the end, it was Lin An who spoke first.
"Where's the Dead Soul Orb?"
"With me. Sidney replied without hesitation.
Lin An's pupils shrank, but her face was calm, she was mentally prepared for this result, and continued to ask without pause: "Is there a problem with the undead control technique and the magic principle that you gave me?" β
"Yes. Without hesitation, he replied in the affirmative.
The anger deepened the coldness in Lin An's eyes, in the past few days, she had thought about many reasons, and she was always puzzled, from the acquaintance of the ice field to the present, she considered herself to be an extremely generous follower, and Sidney never expressed dissatisfaction, and finally she still asked the sentence: "Why did you betray me?" β
Sidney tilted his head.
This action has always been his habitual action to express doubts, and Sidney doesn't seem to feel Lin An's gradually increasing coercion. Calmly said: "I have not betrayed you. βγ
Saleen interjected at this point, smiling and saying, "In Elvis's eyes, there is no conflict between killing me and maintaining my loyalty as a follower. β
Sidney Murran. Approving this sentence, seeing this, Lin An frowned carefully, she seemed to have thought of something, thoughtful.
Salin's smile deepened, and his eyes darkened. At this time, she took the role of the questioner, and took the initiative to speak, as if she had never been forced to jump off a cliff between her and Sidney, and asked with a smile: "If I guess correctly, Elvis suddenly wants to kill me to achieve his goal, and the reason is not me?" β
Sidney's cervical spine was slightly angled, and he continued to acquiesce.
Salin didn't care, and continued, "Aside from Elvis, I'm the one who knows the Dead Soul Orb best. Elvis wanted to kill me so that I wouldn't notice the problem inside and expose it.? β
Sidney's eyes twitched, and he spoke: "Yes. βγ
"Can you tell me why? What did you do in that Dead Control Technique and Principle Codex? Salin smiled even deeper, a curious expression.
Maybe it's because they've been aware. Sidney did not continue to hide it, and said indifferently: "The sequelae, and according to the principle of codex writing, they will not find a way to restrain it. βγ
Saleen's eyes lit up, which was undoubtedly Sidney's motive, and he continued to ask, "What kind of after-effects?" β
Sidney's soul jumped, and he hesitated for a moment before replying, ["It's not entirely certain, what I do know is that the more they use it, the more likely they are to passively transform into undead. βγ
Lin An and Salin both gasped. Salin, in particular, hurriedly recalled the number of times he had used the undead control technique in the process of realization, and Lin An asked, "Passively transform the undead?" Like you? Or a complete loss of memory and sanity? β
["It has not yet been determined, the question of probability, the former is more likely. Sidney replied.
Lin An suddenly understood something. said: "It's not your hands and feet, it's the undead master who designed it in the undead control technique!" You just noticed this, and then you made changes to the principle, and you didn't want the third party to notice, so you had to kill Salin, right? β
"Yes. βγ
This makes sense, whether from the perspective of the Necromancer* or Sidney, the more of their kind that are transformed, the better, even if the entire plane is reduced as a result, they are happy to see it happen.
The reason why Lin An was able to detect this, in addition to logical reasoning, was also because there were actually some signs on the demon necromancer and *shi he had killed before.
Their skinny and bone-like appearance of the living dead, Lin An originally thought that it was because they were bathed in negative energy, after all, they basically still maintained the characteristics of the living, but now in retrospect, this is a sign that the living are beginning to transform into semi-undead, and this process is obviously passive and irreversible.
It's no wonder that when those demon necromancers are dying, they will show a look of relief, obviously the demon clan is not unaware of this problem, but they have already embarked on this desperate road, and it is impossible to turn back.
"Don't worry too much, it's not that once you use it, you are destined to be transformed into an undead, it's a subtle process. Unless it is used day and night without interruption, the situation is not irreversible in the early stages of use.
In fact, long-term soaking in negative energy also has such sequelae, but the undead control technique has been used as a catalyst to speed up the process many times - I don't believe you can use a purification magic spell on me. β
Saleen interjected on the sidelines, he had already checked his physical condition.
"Shenwen. Cleanse. β
With both hands making a graceful spell casting gesture, Lin An did not hesitate to cast a spell on Salin, and the divine power of the divine power that was pure and full of vitality made Sidney hide in the inner cave in an instant.
The power of the green magic fell on Salin, and sure enough, there was no rejection, in fact, this is also predictable, after all, the healing magic technique can work on Salin before, and it has been proven that it is a qiΔ.
Proving it in Salin, Lin An's frowning brows did not relax: the premonition that had been looming in her heart since she got the Death Soul Orb was finally confirmed, and she had indeed opened a Pandora's box. What was released in the box was a poison that the Terrans could not get rid of at this time.
If this is a deadly poison, people will not dare to touch it, precisely because of its two-sided nature. will make people can't help but take advantage of this kind of undead control technique with a fluke heart.
Those necromancers of the demon clan are a lesson from the past, and they should have been aware of the problem of the undead control technique, but they have no choice but to make a desperate bet, hoping to keep the last glimmer of hope for the fire;
And in this case, the Terrans have no second option. I can only accompany the demons to continue to fight to the death - maybe when he left the Death Soul Orb, the undead * master expected this situation.
"Even if you don't have this kind of sequelae, immortality after transforming the undead will seduce people and moths to put out the fireβdidn't you already expect this when you decided to hand over the undead control technique? What's more, whether to use or not to use is their own choice. Saleen knew exactly what Lin An was thinking.
The power of magic is poisonous.
This sentence is one of the most well-known proverbs in the wizard circle, and the mage who is obsessed with power twists his personality and indulges in madness. Even the case of the six relatives not admitting to killing relatives and friends has never been a secret to the mage, but the temptation to gain great power has never stopped the mage who is such a moth to the fire.
"You're right." Lin An took a deep breath, "But I can't help but take precautions." β
"What are you going to do?" Glancing at Sidney, who had appeared at the entrance of the inner cave, Salin raised the corners of his lips.
Lin An also sensed Sidney's concern. Turning a blind eye, he said calmly: "I will warn them, but how to choose is their own business." β
When Salin got Lin An's words, he glanced at Sidney, who really lived up to his expectations and said indifferently: ["You can't explain the problem of incomplete content of the principle, they will doubt you. βγ
Sidney has done something about the principle of spells, if Lin An doesn't reveal it, those * masters may not be aware of it. Once the aftermath of the undead control technique is revealed, with their magical attainments, they will definitely find that the principle has been deliberately obscured over the key issues.
Then the suspicion will undoubtedly be worn on Lin An, so whether Lin An's warning is true or not has also become doubtful. So what is the attitude of Gaunt City towards Lin An, it is difficult to grasp.
"So you still think that what you have done is not dangerous to me?" Lin An was cold.
["As long as you don't uncover it. βγ
Sidney still hopes that Lin An will push the boat smoothly, as long as Lin An does not come forward, who can put the charge on Lin An's head? If you dare to use magic of unknown origin, you have to take the risks that may bring, and there is no good thing in the mage's world that falls from the sky.
What's more, if you are lucky enough to retain the wisdom of memory after transformation, then this may be the dream of some mages, and the eternal immortal life of the undead is an irresistible temptation.
In this way, the human race can completely counterattack the demon army, he can avenge the teacher, and at the same time expand the future living space;
Moreover, the necromancer and the army under his command after transforming the undead are a force to be reckoned with, and with the Dead Soul Bead, he is very likely to be able to control this power, Sidney doesn't mind letting this power be used by Lin An, after all, Lin An has given him a lot of things, and he deserves something in return.
This is completely beneficial to them, Sidney doesn't feel that he has betrayed Lin An, there is a voice in his heart that is driving him, trying his best to gain more power, he becomes a mage, transforms the undead, isn't it just for power?
"You've been manipulated by power, Sidney."
Lin An sighed lowly, and a huge coercion suddenly descended without warning.
The levitation technique failed in an instant, and Sidney was pressed to his knees, his eyes darkened, and he tried his best to fight against this huge coercion, but he couldn't move.
Titi appeared behind Sidney, removed one of the Mithril rings from his hand, walked up to Lin An lightly and silently, and handed the ring to her.
Lin An let go of the coercion, and then forcibly erased the spiritual mark on it, and the Death Soul Bead appeared in her hand and was sealed.
Sidney was devoured by the spiritual power, and the soul fire suddenly dimmed, and the breath that had just stabilized the state immediately weakened by thirty percent.
Sarin's eyes flashed with pleasure.
(To be continued)
PS: Sidney is not aware of his own problems, his situation is similar to Ludwig, the process of seed germination, a bit like a strong psychological suggestion of almost faith, will expand itself to the strongest*, and then drive the caster to do it invisibly in the direction of Angus, but Sidney himself, will also feel that this is his own choice.
