Chapter 148: Heartless

The impact of Kruvine's death on Roland was far less than he expected.

Roland only felt a faint sadness in his heart - nothing more.

Perhaps because he didn't see Kruvian's body, Roland didn't have any real feelings about "never seeing Kruvien again".

Besides, never to be seen again - so what?

Many elementary and junior high school students will also be the same after graduation, and they will never see each other again. Similarly, childhood playmates who have moved to other cities, or friends and table mates who have transferred to another school.

No matter how enjoyable you were at the time, the probability of seeing it later is infinitely close to zero.

So, it's no different from being dead.

Perhaps because of his sister's deception when he was a child, "Mom and Dad just went to a place where they could never come back", Roland knew death this way a long time ago.

Roland just felt that he should be angry, and that anger was only based on moral inertia. It's like people habitually condemning an immoral act, which will naturally be forgotten after a few hours.

More of the unhappiness came from Joseph Sr.'s assertiveness.

Roland couldn't stand an uncontrollable unstable factor around him.

But at the same time, he didn't want to lose a rare martyr.

There were so few people who had the potential to become martyrs, and before the sect was founded, Roland really didn't have the time to travel all over the world to Amway as a new member.

The most important thing is that if Joseph Sr. can awaken to the origin before he dies, Roland has a way to make him turn into a coffin bearer.

If the martyr is just a human bomb. If you play, then the power held by the person carrying the coffin is enough to make the world crazy.

Those who carry the coffin are able to pay for their own lives. The complete resurrection of another person, as long as there is a corpse of that person.

- Whether it's a player or an NPC.

This resurrection is a complete resurrection. It's completely different from the cursed resurrection of the undead.

The resurrected person will return to the age of the most vigorous life in life, but the strength is the strongest moment in the entire life cycle.

And. All of the Casket Bearer's stats will also be increased in a percentage to the resurrected person.

Although in the game, there is a time limit for the transfer of this attribute. After the player who is the Coffin Bearer is resurrected in the Temple, this transfer attribute will be returned to the Coffin Bearer.

At the time, the question was raised: if an NPC Casket resurrected a player or NPC, would the transferred attributes have a time limit?

This question is undoubtedly of considerable value for discussion.

But in fact, NPC martyrs are already scarce due to the limitations of their characteristics, and they were basically blown up in the early stage of the plague revival, and the rest has no possibility of awakening origin.

It doesn't matter if the attributes passed on by the resurrection of NPC Martyrs are time-limited, or if they simply can't pass on attributes. As long as Joseph Sr. can become the bearer of the coffin, it means that Roland has a third life.

After all, Roland had already decided to use the resurrection opportunity in the White Tower.

Because only the real "death last". Let them see their bodies in order to convince everyone that Orlando is dead.

Only in this way can we ensure that Roland's future plans will not fail due to various strange reasons.

However, although this can completely make Roland fade from everyone's eyes, it also means that Roland no longer has other resurrection abilities.

Once you die again, you are really dead.

In this real world, there is nothing more precious than life.

Therefore, after Roland found out that Joseph Sr. had become a martyr, he gave up the idea of killing him.

However, this lesson also made Roland unable to trust him.

Even if he doesn't have any bad influence on Roland's plans after that. Roland wouldn't let him be completely free.

In Roland's view, Joseph Sr. now has drawn an equal sign with his own life. Even if he was excited to die with the enemy during a certain mission, it would cause huge losses to Roland.

Still, there is a solution to this.

It's like Feynman's adorable icicle – just nail the icicle into your brain from the base of your eye socket. With a light tug, everything is settled.

This is called frontal lobotomy. Roland has a more sophisticated surgical method than ice pick therapy.

Although the memory of that year is blurred, Roland still remembers. For a while, I had a strong fear of the "icicle".

However, Roland did not agree to take the drug because of this.

He chose another way to combat this fear.

It's about getting to know it.

After a large number of experiments. Roland gradually gained a deep understanding of this thing.

Even if the memory of those days is so blurred that he can no longer recall it, that skill is etched into Roland's bone marrow. He was extremely familiar with the stupid and inhumane surgical treatment of icicles, and completely cured his fears.

It may have made poor old Joseph lose his passion - but what's the problem?

Joseph Sr. is still alive, it is still his soul that controls his body, and it is still his mind that guides his thinking.

Isn't that lucky enough compared to death?

"Ah, as you wish."

Old Joseph was stunned for a moment after Roland asked that sentence, and laughed inexplicably.

Roland ignored why he was laughing.

After receiving the best answer, the silver-white flame shook slightly, and disappeared into the sword, making the slender staff sword even sharper.

Roland stared at Joseph Sr. on his forehead, and under his own strong expectations, familiar knowledge slowly flowed into his mind.

Although this was the first time in many years, Roland's agility and perception were no longer as fragile and humble as before.

"Glory to the Mentor......

Roland prayed in a low voice, his right hand holding the sword slowly retracted, and Joseph Sr.'s breath relaxed.

But then, before Joseph Sr. could react, a sword light flashed in a subtle arcβ€”

The flame coalesced into a very thin point at the tip of the staff, and made a silver mark on Joseph's forehead.

If you look down from above, you can see that the mark is actually a sharp scar that resembles a V-shape. It was the deepest in the very center, but it only penetrated the skull without injuring any brain tissue.

The silver-white flame did not erupt, but remained in the deepest part of the scar.

These flames originate from the same deity as the dark gray flames buried deep in Joseph Sr.'s body, so they do not trigger the body's autonomous defenses.

Before the dark gray flame could react, under the posture of continuous attack, Roland instantly reset his attack action, and a light silver scar was engraved on Old Joseph's forehead in a quarter of a second, and the holy fire suddenly burst out in his brain, suppressing the dark gray poisonous fire to other places, but did not hurt any part of him, but gently wrapped the entire brain together.

At the same time, Joseph Sr. lost consciousness.

- This is not for anesthesia, but so that Joseph Sr.'s brain will not be permanently damaged by an overdose of anesthesia in the following sessions.

Roland took a deep breath and slashed his wrist with the staff sword with his backhand, and blood suddenly gushed out, dyeing the white and shiny staff sword with a trace of scarlet.

He casually withdrew the blade of his sword, and the blood gushing from his left wrist formed an incomparably sharp cone under the manipulation of his consciousness.

Roland stabbed the scarlet fangs into Joseph Sr.'s eye sockets neatly, and with experience and feel, he cut something, and the spiky scarlet fangs completely melted into a drop of blood at the moment of success.

The real part of the operation was done in two seconds.

The blood of the half-elf didn't seep much into the brain under the envelopment of the holy fire. Instead, after the operation, it slowly flowed out of the cruciform wound along with the flame.

After the flame was fully drained, the wound was faintly healed, leaving only a cross-shaped scar.

"In that case, I forgive you."

Speaking to old Joseph, who was still unconscious, Roland whispered.

"Your sins are cleared." (To be continued......)
