Chapter Seventy-One: Expanding the Worldview = Introducing New Forces

"I'm sorry, but it's really this heraldic too..."

Wang Mingliang wanted to speak and stopped, but Xia Min could see that he had a deep fear of this strange pattern.

"Do you know this pattern?" Xia Min asked.

Wang Ming nodded and let out a long breath, as if he sighed a little: "The Sunshine Apartment you said may not be so simple, someone is trying to enslave and create spirits." ”

"Is this something terrible?" Xia Min didn't understand a little: "It doesn't feel much different from catching spirits with the Liberation Association." ”

"You're wrong." Wang Mingliang shook his head: "The spirit cannot be driven, it can be driven to do it, this method is very evil, I have only seen this coat of arms in the classics, in fact, this method is one of the methods used by witchers to deal with witches." ”

"Dealing with witches? Is the best way to beat fear and join it? "Xia Min is a little puzzled, will the witcher still work all the time?

"If it's just to drive spirits, then this method can't actually be called evil, but the point is that it needs to turn people into spirits first, and then drive them."

"Zero?" Xia Min couldn't help but complain: "Then maybe the demon hunter hasn't been to Chengdu?" ”

"Don't interrupt, this topic is serious!"

“… Okay. ”

"Demon hunters are just some mortals after all, and the power that consumes witches is piled up by human lives, and often a lot of witches die in exchange for a witch to be captured, such a loss is really too heavy."

"Wait." Xia Min asked, "It stands to reason that the bond between the witchers is wealth and power, right?" ”

"yes, what's the problem?"

"Then wealth and power are the basis for the establishment and action of demon hunters, but if you want to enjoy wealth and power, the most basic thing is to live, if you rely on human life to pile it up like you said, it is too outrageous, this is equivalent to sacrificing oneself to achieve others, are Europeans all Buddhist teachers?"

"You don't understand this, every nobleman in Europe at that time raised a bunch of thugs or slaves, these slaves were basically used as cannon fodder, the real witcher may be the lord of the fief, but the death is often the vassal of his subordinates, because after the death of the family life will be guaranteed, so although they know that they will die, many people are still willing to be this cannon fodder."

"Of course, it is not excluded that there are some robbers, robbers, outlaws, and witchers who simply want to fight and then fight to the death."

Xia Min nodded: "Okay, it makes sense, and then what?" ”

"What's the point, that's the truth." Wang Mingliang continued: "Then some of the big nobles at that time had deals with some more mysterious forces, and the big nobles generally had some dark business or dirty work, and this kind of work would be done by those organizations that did not see the light. ”

"It just so happened that a certain alchemist who studied alchemy happened to know a big nobleman."

"Alchemist?" Xia Min felt that the world was getting crazier and crazier: "Isn't that just a group of chemists who engage in pseudoscience?" ”

"You are wrong, the splendor of that era is something we can't imagine at all." Wang Mingliang shook his head: "Do you know what the alchemist's goal is?" ”

"Turning stones into gold and immortality?"

Xia Min was very fond of Newton in high school, and was very puzzled by Newton's obsession with the occult in his later years, so he also learned some about the occult, to be precise, alchemy.

But until now, Xia Min still thinks that the so-called alchemy is just a pseudoscience, and it can only be said that the ideas and conjectures of the ancients are in the wrong direction, and the strength is used in the wrong direction, and immortality does not exist at all.

"That's right, I know a lot." Wang Mingliang nodded: "But I have to tell you that alchemy really exists, and it also has a heritage, and until now, there are still alchemists in the world." ”

"However, there are also factions of alchemists, some alchemists are dedicated to studying alchemy and exploring the secrets of matter itself, while others use alchemy to stir up wind and rain in the world to make profits, the former is called white alchemy, the latter is black alchemy, and the alchemist I am talking about is a black alchemist."

"Alchemy is actually somewhat similar to the development of potions, the use of potions for practical use must be experimented, the black alchemy in the production of the so-called elixir of life, by chance to make a coat of arms, no one knows what this coat of arms is made of, but the person who has been engraved by this coat of arms will become a spirit after death, and the spirit will yield to the person who applied this spell."

"This black alchemist made a deal with the nobleman, using this coat of arms to create a batch of spirits, instead of the original cannon fodder, and the power of spirits is often ghostly than humans, and it will be easier to deal with witches."

"And this coat of arms, evil is evil that must be inflicted on the body of the living, so that after their painful death they become spirits, the more painful they are, the more powerful they are after death."

"Subsequently, this method slowly spread, and more and more people used it, but it was suppressed by the church soon after, and the black alchemy was nowhere to be found, and this method was listed as a forbidden technique, because it was too hurtful to the heavens and peace."

Wang Mingming's expression was a little heavy.

"The church?"

"It's equivalent to the owner of the witcher, a religious power that is higher than the imperial power, and has a transcendent status in almost all of Europe."

"Okay, I'll do it, but if you create so many spirits, and directly fill them with human lives, won't a lot of people die?" Xia Min was speechless.

"It's different, not to mention that the spirit is more powerful for the time being, the consumption will be less, take human lives to fill, the people who died are all people under the hands of the noble demon hunters, these people have to spend money to raise, and they have to be buried after death, which is another expense, and the creation of the spirit, in that period of the epidemic of black disease, catch hundreds of people who are about to die, do you think it is difficult?"

Xia Min was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, human beings are indeed the most cruel when they treat their own kind, but after thinking about it, he asked again:

"This doesn't make sense, you all know this pattern, it's a forbidden spell that doesn't work at all, can't you just copy it and use it again?"

Wang Mingliang smiled: "This is actually indirectly thanks to the black alchemy, because he wants to monopolize this alchemy, so he didn't tell anyone how the coat of arms was made, and just a pattern is useless, and the church destroyed the coat of arms, and after the black alchemy disappeared, this alchemy was lost, but it was still recorded in the early classics of the association for reference." ”

Wang Mingliang said and sighed: "I just didn't expect it to appear again." ”

"Did someone leave some coats of arms privately and didn't hand them in?"

"Probably not, the heraldry in the record is a product of enchantment, which means that it is useless to consume the power above."

Xia Min was stunned and reacted.

"Damn profiteer, there is also secondary consumption that I didn't expect!"

"So, there's only one possibility."

Wang Mingming's expression was a little solemn: "At the beginning, the black alchemy passed down this forbidden technique. ”
