Chapter 257: Xilan's Past
The dark red blood slowly poured into Telos's body, and at first there was nothing unusual, but soon the muscles all over his body began to spasm violently, and the green tendons on his arms and forehead burst out, like a small cyan snake, and even his skin became red, as if there was a majestic power in his body that wanted to break out.
"Telos is the one I have chosen to be the most suitable for that paladin. The red-clothed priest's face was solemn: "And the strength of the blood in that paladin's body is not very strong, and the chance of Telos being able to survive is still very high." ”
The richer the magical substance contained in the paladin's blood, the more powerful he becomes, and with it, the difficulty of the inheritance ritual will be particularly great.
And the blood of this paladin in front of him has been inherited dozens of times, and the magic power in it has been weakened to less than one-tenth of its heyday.
But even the blood of the paladin, which has been weakened several times, is not something that ordinary soldiers can withstand.
"Bang dang!
Telos' body began to twitch, his hands and feet twitching desperately, but he couldn't break free from the chains, and because of the cloth, Xilan couldn't see his expression clearly, but just thinking about it, he could guess what kind of face full of pain was under the cloth.
"The skin is broken!" the red-clad priest was quick and immediately covered Telos' wound with a mushy layer of liquid.
At this point, Telos' skin was like a boiled prawn, steaming, hot and cracked.
The whole looks like a dry earth, with countless cracks, and it is extremely miserable.
But Telos' heart was beating so vigorously that it was like beating a war drum.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of a clear and powerful heartbeat resounded in the empty transformation chamber, and the priests had a relieved smile on their faces, which was a good sign that Telos's body was transforming into a paladin, and as the substance of the blood began to take effect, the blood of Telos's internal organs and bones would change, and even the wounds on the surface of the body would heal.
After the initial strong reaction, Tyros's state had calmed down, and Siran noticed that the color of his skin was beginning to change to the color of a certain stone, and with a slight groan, he reached out a finger and pressed the shoulder area of Telos.
It's hard and rough to the touch, and it doesn't look like it's pressed against human skin at all.
"It's the ability to strengthen defenses...... Xi Lan frowned, this ability obviously didn't satisfy him, but he didn't expect more, under such harsh conditions, being able to complete the inheritance ceremony was already a very remarkable thing, and the next thing to do was to wait for Telos to wake up.
"My lord, there is something. The red-clothed priest saluted to Xilan and glanced at Telos, who had not yet awakened: "Just now I noticed that the proportion of magical substances in the blood of the paladin inherited by Telos has reached the lower limit, that is, after Telos, his blood will completely lose its magic power and will no longer be able to inherit." ”
"Record it. Xi Lan nodded indifferently, after too many inheritances and consumption, the magic power in the blood of the paladin will eventually be exhausted, "The fall of every paladin is a huge loss to the temple. ”
Xi Lan's heart is not as relaxed as he seems on the surface, the paladin is an indispensable and important force in the establishment of the temple, and it is also the backbone of the battle of the temple in the south and the north, but this force is constantly consumed with the years, but it has never been replenished, maybe after a hundred years, the name of the paladin will only become a cold character in the ancient books.
It's a sad thing.
"If you can find the decades-old vacancies in the hadith, you may be able to get the transformation method of the first paladin. Xi Lan has always had some suspicions about the birth of the paladin, where does this powerful and incomparably superior power come from, he looked through many ancient books, and finally found out in horror that the paladin has something in common with some kind of human being.
Flesh Enhancement Demon Seed!
It also has an extremely strong physical body, completely beyond the boundaries of the human body.
But the difference is that the Demon Seed has more autonomy and independence than the Paladin.
The paladin is like an emotionless killing machine, even if he talks to people, it is to better accept orders, Xilan thinks, if the demon seed of the flesh enhancement system erases the autonomous consciousness, then is he the same existence as the paladin?
Unknown.
I heard that the people of the Temple of the Goddess are conducting some experiments to try to replicate and evolve the first paladin, and they have spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to do so.
By the way, there are still many loyal crusader soldiers' lives.
Xilan took a deep breath and heard a strange noise coming from the transformation table, accompanied by a cry of pain that almost changed his voice.
He looked up suddenly, only to see that the body of Telos, who had been stabilized, had changed again, his rocky skin began to dissolve, becoming like a cake melting in the heat, blood spilling out of his pores, and a beast-like scream coming out of his throat.
"What's going on? Obviously it's succeeded!" The red-clothed priest in charge of presiding over the succession ceremony was frightened, even he had never encountered such a situation, Telos was covered in white smoke, and his fingers were burned at the slightest touch, and the red-clothed priest hurriedly withdrew his right hand: "Go and get the ice!"
"It's useless!" Xi Lan's heart sank, this was the phenomenon of the failure of the inheritance ceremony, "The inheritance ceremony was not successful, he couldn't survive!"
"How so!" the red-clad priest collapsed to the ground in despair, "Could it be that there is a problem with the material substitute?"
The red-clothed priest stood up, wanting to continue to observe for a while, wanting to see if a miracle would come, Xi Lan shook his head, "After the defeat, there is no possibility of reversing again, it is enough, let him return to the arms of the father as soon as possible." ”
Let's put an end to his suffering......
Xilan closed her eyes and heard a crisp cutting sound behind her, and Telos's screams came to an abrupt end.
"Your Excellency, you seem to know a lot about the succession ceremony, and as the archbishop of the Ruling Temple, have you also presided over the succession ceremony?" Priest Tano sighed, the failure of the succession ceremony clouded everyone's hearts.
"I do know a lot about the succession ceremony," Xilan was silent for a moment, "I have participated in the succession ceremony, but not as the presiding priest......"
Xi Lan brushed his fingers against his chest, and he seemed to be able to feel the lingering pain, the intense suffocation and despair before death, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would reappear in front of him.
He took a deep breath and said word by word, "I used to be an inheritor too. ”
