Chapter 39: The Son of Dry Bones
"So......" asked Duzi, "is the Roland people who built it to suppress a creature called an evil spirit, the monsters we see on the frescoes?" ”
From Wen Li's mouth, Du Qi and the others learned that there were four mausoleums built underground, located around the location of the evil spirits, and each buried seven warriors who fought against the evil spirits back then. Their job is to guard the area and keep no creatures from approaching. Recently, however, for unknown reasons, the aura of evil spirits leaked out, not only awakening them from their slumber, but also eroding their will.
Resurrecting the dead may seem like an evil tactic, but to the Roland people, it seems to be a very common thing. In their theoretical system, living things are not only composed of soul and body, but also a substance called "nucleus". The soul is just a simple energy, and the body is just the same substance, and only the core is the key to each unique life. The composition of the nucleus is extremely special, the nucleus of ordinary people can continue to exist for a hundred years, and some powerful nuclei can even be preserved for tens of thousands to 100,000 years. Therefore, as long as enough soul energy is infused into the intact nucleus, coupled with the absence of decaying bones, it is easy to resurrect a deceased.
"The one buried here is called the White Decay, also known as the Son of Dry Bones, and is one of the twelve evil spirits." "The Roland people paid a great price to defeat it and then suppressed it here. ”
"There is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Kui Qu said this, but his words were unceremoniously, "Why do you always like to suppress monsters instead of killing them directly?" Tens of thousands of years later, let them come back to plague future generations. ”
"You don't know how evil spirits are born. You've had the talent to manipulate runic energy since birth, but have you ever wondered why you can use runes? ”
"This ...... Because the runes are refined symbols of the gods. Yuan Ya replied.
"It's not that simple, after a long period of research, the Roland people still haven't been able to study the runes and gods thoroughly. But one thing is certain, in the process of the birth of the gods, human faith is one of the keys to it. ”
Du Qi raised his eyebrows, remembering the sentence in the rune interface.
"Dance and blood, that's the most primitive sacrifice. Mysterious spirits are born out of all things, and they live and die with fanatical spirits. Faith is the cornerstone of heaven, and when the sublime beings emerge from their cocoons, they will become immortal. ”
These two sentences, which were originally confusing, now seem to make people understand something in combination with the words described by Wenli.
"Belief is not pure good, there is also evil. We don't know exactly what's going on, but the gods can go one step further and become what we call the Holy Spirit and the Evil Spirit. The Holy Spirit and the evil spirits are also intangible things, but they can have an impact on reality, and these twelve evil spirits are the representatives of the evil spirits in the real world. Evil spirits can be killed, but evil spirits still exist, and new ones will be born soon. ”
"That is, to suppress them and prevent new evil spirits from being born somewhere?" "According to the history of the Rolanders, is it because of the evil faith that the tyrant forbade them to believe in the gods?" ”
The flames in Wen Li's skull jumped violently, he lowered his head, and said a little lonely: "Yes! Whether it is those Majesties or the countless people who died at the hands of evil spirits, they should all be heroes remembered by history. If it weren't for the efforts of those generations of Rolands, all the evil spirits were finally defeated. Without them, the world would have perished. ”
"But why? Will the legend turn out like this in the end? And, why did the Roland people go extinct? Even we don't know anything about it? Feng Xing asked. She never imagined that there would be such a civilization before these humans.
"The society of the Roland people has long been decayed, and there are a large number of evil believers hidden in it. The act of arresting the believers turned into the act of tyrants under their instigation. Until the last Majesty was assassinated, the situation was completely out of control, and even caused a great war between your ancestors and the Rolands. As for what happened next, how could I, a dead man, know. ”
"Some people say that the evolution of living things is actually a kind of self-destruction." Xiao Fu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, "I have a question, some of the monsters that appear in the mural are probably not native creatures of this world, right?" ”
"Yes, they come from other worlds."
"Is it related to evil spirits?"
"I don't know, the Roland people have studied this issue, but they have not found any reliable evidence." Wen Li's empty eyes swept over everyone's faces, and seeing that no one asked any more questions, he continued, "Well, I've made the ins and outs of the matter clear. Believe it or not, I would like to ask for your help. Whatever the reason, there is a loophole in this cemetery that suppresses white decay, and the breath of evil spirits leaks out. This aura has a deadly attraction for monsters from other worlds, and they go crazy to devour the source of the breath. Evil spirits can gain power by devouring these monsters, so we must find a way to patch the loopholes and stop them from coming. ”
"Is this a trap to attract prey?" Douzzi nodded, connecting with the other players through the friend system. "Guys, do you think Bunley's words can be trusted?" He asked.
"Judging from the previous news that the monster troops entered the underground, there are no loopholes in his statement." Xiao Fu said, "If the situation is true, based on the distance, it is very likely that the monster army will come here today and tomorrow. At that time, just a few of us will not be able to stop the thousands of monster groups. ”
"But if it's fake, plus the skeletons from several other graveyards, they can easily kill us." Yuan Ya looked a little worried, "We're all fine, but what should Feng Ying do?" ”
"That girl is not simple, ordinary people are already called geniuses when they have two special abilities after awakening, but she has used three at once, and it is likely that there is something hidden. Remember what he said to Shengyan? She seemed confident that she would save her life in a dangerous situation. Xiao Fu retorted.
"I'd rather believe it!" Kui Qu expressed his opinion simply.
Of course, Du Qi himself was also willing to make more contact, so he turned his head to look at Feng Xing and asked in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what do you think?" ”
"You seem to have come to an agreement?" Although Feng Xing didn't hear the conversations of several players, he also guessed something from their body movements, "I don't have an opinion either." ”
She became more and more curious about this group of wild servants, whether it was the knowledge she knew or the skills she mastered, there was more hidden behind this group of people than she had imagined.
"Okay!" Du Qi touched his nose in embarrassment, smirked twice, and then looked back at Wen Li, "I have unfortunate news for you, not long ago we learned that a group of monsters on the ground had disappeared, and there were as many as a thousand. They may have used the barren sand to dig huge holes in the ground, or they may have found passages left behind by the Rolanders. I believe it won't take long to get here. ”
"We've devised a way to counter the invaders, and we'll take care of that."
"So what's next?"
