Chapter Sixty-Eight: The True Face of the Seed of Corrosion

Looking at Scott's eyes "burning" and "bathing in fire", Bradwin did not feel the slightest surprise and discomfort.

He seemed to have expected that Wright would be surprised by the origin of the Cotdions.

Bradwin raised his hand to stop Scott when he was about to make a question, and then he continued, "Please listen to me. ”

So Wright and the others, especially Scott, had to temporarily suppress their desire to speak, and continued to wait for Bradwin's next story.

Bradwin took a deep breath and said, "The Creator God has combined us with the power of the shadows, giving us the power of the bloodline to enter the shadow plane, and we are also able to use some things from the shadow plane, such as the cold aura unique to the shadow plane. ”

Speaking of the cold qi, Bradwin smiled bitterly and said: "After we were cursed, it was precisely because of the cold qi that froze our body functions that we were able to live a little longer, otherwise we would have to reduce our life expectancy by at least 10 years..."

Tina asked, "Why are you still able to move so dexterously? ”

"We're not purely human, maybe it's because our bodies are different. Even if the body functions are frozen, it will not affect our actions, only the lifespan of the body. ”

Wright suddenly realized: "No wonder I can't sense you after you hid, it turned out that you entered the shadow plane!"

"That's right, we can enter and move in the shadow plane, and there, location and distance are just a concept, and we can come from anywhere if I want. ”

Wright stammered, "This is too powerful!"

Bradwin shook his head and said, "This is too risky, as we may get lost in the plane when we fully traverse the shadow plane, and there are often exceptionally powerful beings roaming the shadow plane, and if we are not careful, they will be killed 'accidentally'. ”

"But you're also strong. Scott said.

Wright was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Has the power of your bloodline awakened since birth?"

Bradwin was amazed by Wright's sharp judgment, and he nodded and said, "Yes, it's innate." ”

Wright continued, "You said before that your curse is also manifested from birth. ”

Bradwin nodded in agreement.

Wright continued, "You have one thing in common with the Hertis Bears' curse manifestation: once the bloodline awakens, the power of the curse manifests. ”

"This ...... Is it true?" Bradwin turned to look at Andrew, who nodded at him very seriously.

"They didn't have the slightest difference before the bloodline awakened, which is why they lived to be 80 years old. However, at the age of 80, the bloodline awakens, and the power of the curse begins to manifest, and they will corrupt and die within 2 to 3 years. ”

Bradwin nodded in understanding, but he didn't know Wright's purpose for saying this, so he had to wait for Wright to continue.

Wright looked at Andrew, then turned to Bradwin and said, "My teacher has unparalleled intelligence. He made a guess that was probably true. ”

"He believes that the power of the curse is attached to the power of the bloodline, or that it is simply encased in the power of the bloodline, and when the bloodline awakens, the power of the curse will be immediately manifested......"

Bradwin was also shocked by this conjecture, so Bradwin raised a lot of doubts that bothered him, and Wright answered them patiently and in detail for him.

......

Bradwin exhaled deeply, and he sincerely admired: "Your teacher is really a strange man, and his wisdom is unfathomable. ”

Wright smiled and nodded in agreement, and his admiration for the teacher Adam was a little stronger.

After Bradwin rearranged his chaotic thoughts, he began to continue with the topic of the Old Gods:

"While we have been endowed with the power of shadows, we have also been given the responsibility of guarding the seal of Devouring Mouth Devarros. For tens of thousands of years, we have stayed true to our duty, and even built cities and nations in the most glorious moments!"

As Wright listened to Cordion's past, he couldn't help but think of the dead and silent death of the stone-skinned dwarf......

Bradwin sighed: "Due to the appearance of the curse, Codeon began to decline rapidly. Until 600 years ago, the seal was not supported by enough power, and the power of Devalus began to infiltrate and leak. But we didn't give up our responsibilities because of the curse, and we still stuck here. ”

Tina couldn't help but ask, "Since more than 200 years ago, there have been problems with the mountains here, is it because of the power of Devarus?"

Bradwin nodded and continued, "Devalus' abilities include devouring, twisting, and infecting. Since you've come from outside, you've probably seen the deeply infected flora and fauna. ”

Scott hurriedly said, "yes, they all seem to come to life; those plants are more like animals than plants." ”

"That's right, after being infected, even their shadows will be infected and finally distorted. Then the infected shadow will come to life and take control of the flora and fauna, which is why you see those twisted plants more like animals. ”

Hearing this, Andrew couldn't help but say, "No wonder, I saw that those creatures had a distorted and blurred shadow. ”

Both Tina and Scott looked at Andrew with suspicion, and they didn't believe Andrew until Wright said he saw it too.

Wright explained to Bradwin, "Maybe it's because of the divine power, I can see the weird twisted shadows in their bodies, and it's probably the twisted shadows you just mentioned." ”

"Quite possibly. Moreover, when the warped shadow matures to a certain extent, it will materialize, and finally when it consumes its own body, it will become a doppelganger of Devalus!"

Tina froze for a moment, then threw the Corrosive Seed out of her bag like it was on fire.

She shouted, "Is this the case, are these corrosive seeds the product of the materialization of the distorted shadows?"

Bradwin stepped forward to take a closer look, and then he affirmed, "That's right, these are the distorted shadows of the initial materialization!"

Wright asked Bradwin again, "We met the kind of creatures with fangs and big mouths all over their bodies, and these big mouths ......?"

"The power from Devalus, when infected by his power, will appear these devouring mouths, they can swallow the essence of life, and the bite is very painful......"

Wright thought of an old god who could also devour essences, so he asked, "Do you know that the old god Goshlik can also devour essences, and he can devour any essence." ”

Bradwin thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of him, maybe he only discovered Elzers later." ”

Wright asked another question of his own: "Why do the gods use two layers of seals, with their strength, it's okay to directly seal the cause of death, right?"

Bradwin shook his head and said, "The ancestors didn't record these related things, maybe they still have their own plans." ”

......

Before they knew it, the exchange had been going on for several hours, and after dinner, the Wright and the others temporarily took up residence at the Codeon's station.

Together with the Cotdion, they intend to find a solution to the leakage of Devarus's power, after all, the Sick Wood Forest is now terminally ill.
