3. Antecedents and consequences
"Master Hugo, I'...... Okay? Coming down from the operating table, Lin Wen asked Mekatos.
"Overall, everything is fine. If you have any questions, just ask. ”。
"First of all, I want to know how I died, by the way, give me a mirror." The question of death tickles Lin Wenmao's heart all the time.
"Our people found you from the Demon Spirit Battlefield, but there are few scars on your body, it is estimated that the Demon Spirit Mage hit you and shattered your soul." Mekatos found a notebook, flipped through a few pages, and handed it to Lin Wen, who looked at it and found that it was about his own test log, which was recorded in detail from finding it to discarding it.
"Demons? What is a demon? Lin Wen looked at the log and asked suspiciously.
"You don't know about demons?" Listening to Lin Wen's words, Mekatos was shocked.
"Master Hugo, Imis, he seems to have lost his memory." Newen stood aside and reminded.
Listening to Newen's words, Merkatos looked at Lin Wen and sought confirmation.
"I don't know, all I know now is what happened after I woke up from that pile of corpses, and the previous one was a blank." Lin Wen shrugged helplessly.
"Alright, Demon Spirit, this question has been going to be talked about for a long time." Mercatos found some books, which had to be accompanied by books.
Speaking of demon spirits, it is best to start with this world, this is called the Akara continent, there are seven intelligent races on the continent: humans, dwarves, gnomes, elves, orcs, goblins, and trolls, and these seven races are divided into several small tribes, and the demon spirits are strange creatures independent of these mortal races.
To be precise, they come from other worlds.
The demon spirit is a magical lifeform, this race is young, vibrant, and loves to learn, and the demon spirit that entered the continent of Akcala was quickly accepted by other races on the continent, and learned a variety of skills from other races, including magic and martial arts.
20 years ago, a king was born among the demon spirits, known as the red crystal, this king didn't know what to do, he first gathered all the demon spirits on the continent, and then established the demon spirit empire: Katras. At the same time as the founding of the country, the Catrass Empire declared war on all the mortal races of the continent of Acala! The war that swept the world broke out in an instant.
Demon spirits are magical lifeforms, not bound by the fate of life and death of nature, and every fallen demon spirit on the battlefield will quickly get up again, and death means different to demon spirits than to mortals.
This point starts with the soul of the demon spirit, the soul of a mortal is like a stone, it is difficult to recover after being broken, and the soul of the demon spirit is like a drop of water, even if it is cut into thousands of parts, as long as it is put together, it will be restored in an instant, plus the body of the demon spirit is made of magical elements, making it almost impossible to kill.
Ten years of war, ten years of mortal warriors continue to die in battle, the territory of the Demon Spirit Empire has expanded little by little, and the mortal race has shrunk little by little, until the appearance of the Iron Gate Fortress.
The middle of the continent is full of mountains, and there is only one way to go from south to north, that is through the Hengduan Canyon, at the beginning of the war, the mortals who foresaw the unstoppable demons united to build the strongest fortress in the history of the Hengduan Mountains, and the mortal race finally blocked the demons in the Hengduan Canyon with the iron gate fortress.
The war ended with the main force of the demon spirit being blocked, and at this moment, the Catrass Empire of the demon spirit monopolized most of the land of the Akara continent, and the mortal race could only shrink to a corner.
But will the demons stop their aggression because of a small iron gate fortress?
It's impossible to think about it, the demon spirit has only stopped for a while, and the clouds of war still hang over the heads of all mortal races.
"You have to be careful, the Demon Assassins are looking for geniuses of all races, and you have been at the top of the Demon Assassination List." Merkatos looked at Lin Wen, who was drinking water carelessly, and admonished, and at the same time handed over a small round mirror.
"Poof!" The water in Lin Wen's mouth squirted out in shock, "I recruited them to provoke them?" Keeping an eye on me like this? ”
"It's not about personal hatred, your identity, your talent is here, you are the canary of the elven race, as one of the best jungle hunters in the entire continent, you are the object of the most hated by the demon spirits."
Although Mekatos didn't get to the point for most of the day, not only Lin Wen was already satisfied, but the information could almost be deduced from the cause and effect. Whether it is the hatred between the demon spirit and the mortal race or the hatred between the demon spirit and oneself, in short, a thousand words are combined into one sentence, the demon spirit must die.
"By the way, I want to ask, can my left eye be restored?" Lin Wen asked, pointing to his left eye, and by the way, he used the mirror to see what he looked like now.
This look can make Lin Wen stunned, except for the terrifying scar on the left side of his face, there is a pretty female face in the mirror, and it is the kind that Lin Wen prefers, but this face is on his body.
Am I a man or a woman? Lin Wen pinched his chest with doubts, and then touched his lower body, thankfully, his chest was flat, the sausage and eggs were still there, and they did not become abalone and seafood.
"The Vault Dweller's Mark, which deprives the banished elf of half of their eyesight, is both a mark and a punishment." Halfway through his speech, Merkatos suddenly noticed that Lin Wen's attention didn't seem to be listening to his words. "Excuse me, are you listening?"
"Huh?" Lin Wen, who was grimacing in front of the mirror, was startled, and hurriedly put down the mirror, "I'm listening, I'm just looking to see if my eyeballs are damaged, by the way, why do I look like this?" ”
"You are the canary of the elven clan, your beautiful face is your characteristic, you have forgotten what you look like, it seems that your amnesia is very complete." Mecartos recorded Lin Wen's amnesia in the test log, "Where did I just go?" ”
"Vault Dweller's Mark."
"Yes, that's it. You can rest assured that the Vault Dweller's Mark will deprive you of your eyesight, but it won't damage your eyeball. If there is any other place in the world where the vision deprived of the Wanderer's Mark can be restored, the only World Tree other than the Elves is the Tower of Souls of our Gnomes. But......" Mekatos stopped in the middle of his words.
"But what?" Lin Wen, who was full of thoughts to restore his eyesight, asked.
"That's right, you were resurrected through the Well of Souls, and the Vault Dwell's Mark and the Well of Souls seem to be a bit repulsive, and now your left eye has undergone a little mutation, and some unexpected situations may occur with treatment." Mercatos explained. "Good luck can heal, bad luck...... will die. ”
"The choice is yours."
