Chapter 250: The Old Man
While speaking, the blonde girl hurriedly bloomed holy light on her body, dispelling the surrounding frost energy, and then cast a holy light magic called 'Divine Protection' on herself and others, comprehensively strengthening resistance, and accompanied by a layer of force field shield.
The energetic properties of the Light are to dispel, restore, and burn.
It's old enough to strengthen resistance.
In a way, the Light's 'purifying' power is second only to Kyle's power of the void. It's just that the former is a one-to-one purification, while the latter is a divine power, even at the most basic stage, the ratio of exchange is at least five times.
"Thank you!" Kyle nodded.
"As it should be."
"Hmm."
Kyle took a step: "Let's go inside, there are some important beings here. ”
"No problem."
After walking into the space warehouse, my vision suddenly brightened.
Unlike the pitiful 'little black room' that looked a few meters high from the outside, the inside was a cube space with a height of 100 meters.
The interior of the space warehouse is extremely cold, and according to Kyle's estimates, the temperature is estimated to be lower than the melting point of dry ice.
"That's a lot...... Ice coffin? ”
Belinda frowned and looked at the items in the space's warehouse.
There is nothing else, only as many as a thousand ice coffins, and through the semi-crystalline coffin shell, you can faintly see the humanoid objects lying inside.
They are housed on the walls of the space warehouse, and at a glance, there are at least a thousand of them.
"That's right!"
Kyle nodded.
"These are all brain-changers provided by Segil's customers, and they were forcibly detained by Segil and used as bargaining chips to prevent the trade from being wiped out later......... If you and Shiko do swap bodies, Shiko will hibernate here. ”
In Tygulas, it is not difficult to rely on hibernation to mothball, and to wake up at some point in the future.
Magically this has already been done.
It's just that there is no stable social environment in this world, and 'hibernation' will also make people lose their ability to resist and can only be slaughtered by others.
The most important thing is......
In this world, there are many means to prolong life.
Therefore, few people hibernate except in some troublesome situation, such as being poisoned by a strong poison or a top-level curse, and can only freeze themselves in order to delay the rescue time for a longer time.
However, many of the great powers with a long history have a tradition of frozen members.
If one of the strong ones is about to reach the end of their life, they will choose to freeze their bodies and use themselves as the foundation of their own forces, awakening and fighting to the death at some point in the future.
Of course!
Segil didn't say so much, he just wanted to get more chips to survive, and by the way, he satisfied his collecting habits.
Belinda glanced, resisting the urge to save everyone here at once.
Her and Kyle's current actions are crimes in the Tower of the Stars, and if exposed, the lightest punishment is expulsion and lifetime inadmissibility.
The sense of justice in my heart is bursting, which does not mean that Belinda is stupid.
What's more, if she does this, Kyle will inevitably break with her, and there is a high possibility that he will be killed on the spot.
If you really want to save people, you can't be impulsive, you must use a way to let the official of the Tower of Stars save people and 'take them out'.
"You're looking for someone frozen here?"
Belinda looked into Kyle's eyes.
"Yes!"
Kyle clenched his fists.
"Do me a favor, Belinda......... Find the ice coffin labeled 'Ford-Steelbone' and 'Ariel Blue Emerald', both of whom are my deceased friends. ”
While checking Segiel's memories, Kyle makes a rather surprising discovery.
This answered many of the doubts in his mind.
For example, how Reuter was poisoned, and why Aria suddenly became a 'soul reaper' under the command of Celine Dra, the goddess of death.
"The old man...... No problem! ”
Belinda nodded yes, and the wings of light stretched out from her back, flying swiftly towards the ice coffins on the wall.
Seeing this, Kyle also cast a spell and floated into the air to follow.
……
Light! Blinding light!
Like a dark elf living in a dark region seeing the sun at noon in summer for the first time, Ford opened his eyes and felt the same as this.
And there seemed to be a figure standing next to his bed.
"Gross!!"
For some reason, Ford felt like throwing up.
"Spit here, Grandpa Ford."
Kyle's voice made him stunned, yes! Isn't he fighting? How could it be......... However, the desire to vomit makes Ford obey Kyle's arrangement, and he rolls over and vomits, which is the fireball that Kyle summons.
"Are you...... Master Kyle?!? Ford looked at Kyle quizzically.
After some time, he has adapted to the bright environment.
And Kyle, in order to avoid misunderstandings, has already restored his original image...... Anyway, Belinda knows his true identity, and it's tiring to pretend to be 'Zeus'.
"It's me, Grandpa Ford."
Kyle smiled in response to the old man on the bed.
Although the image changed, after hearing the phrase "Master Kyle", Kyle immediately made him sure that this was the real Ford.
"How do you ...... Suddenly growing so much? ”
Hearing this, Kyle smiled wryly.
He was sure that it had been several years since Ford had been replaced, and that he and Reuter were unaware of it.
"Grandpa Ford, do you remember what year it is in the starfall calendar?"
"594, what's wrong?"
“…… In fact, it's the year 597 of the starfall calendar! Kyle said with a wry smile, "You've been frozen for three years due to some conditions, and you're ......"
……
A few hours later.
After a long conversation, Ford already basically knew what was going on with him and the major changes in the past few years.
"Can I change my body back?"
"Absolutely!"
Kyle nodded heavily.
"It won't take long for me to get my hands on the brain swap, and now, while your body is occupied by the bastard who poisoned Uncle Reuter, his whereabouts are completely under control, unaware that he has been exposed."
"Hmm."
Ford agrees with Kyle.
He said calmly, "I can't be in a hurry, the most important thing at the moment is to contact Master Reut, and the specific information can't be known to that bastard." ”
"It's great that you can figure it out!"
Kyle let out a long sigh of relief.
In fact, he was worried that Ford would be carried away by anger and hatred, and immediately chose to return.
Now it seems that the old man is still calm.
At the same time, in order to help Ford recover, Segill cannot be handed over to Nasha for 'trial' in a short period of time............ At least not until Reutt is contacted, and the fake Ford is subdued.
Otherwise, it is easy to expose that the real Ford has woken up and caused more accidents out of thin air.
If the fake Ford chooses to flee, it is likely that no one will be found again.
