Chapter 40: Untitled
The noble heir turned his head suddenly, and saw Shen Yan standing by the window!
The strange thing is that the two people just looked at each other silently, and there was no hostility at all...... Shen Yan didn't mean to take the opportunity to kill the heir, and the heir didn't have the idea of summoning guards. Then Shen Yan took a step ahead to make a good move, he spread his hands in the sun to show that he was not holding a weapon, and silently praised himself in his heart - I am really not a superficial person!
Michelle and Catherine have laughed at Shen Yan before, saying that Shen Yan will only look at beautiful women and ugly men, and will not call ugly women, and will be naturally hostile to handsome guys!
He's the kind of good-looking dog who likes to pee on his territory, and there are no handsome men in his territory! Shen Yan couldn't refute this...... For one has to look at his friends to know that Milton, Omar, and Tiger are all ugly men; Catherine, Matilda, and Erica are all big and small beauties! Even Aunt Ana was a big beauty when she was young, and now even if she is older, it is also an elderly version of Hepburn......
The facts are there, what else to say?
But now Shen Yan can say loudly, I didn't! I'm not! It has nothing to do with me! This guy in front of you is proof of this! The heir has a mustache, is in his thirties, and has some deep forehead lines on his forehead, but his appearance is still more than 80 points. In the eyes of some little girls who like uncles, mature and manly heirs are even full score players! But Shen Yan looked at this middle-aged man, but he felt that his eyebrows and eyes were pleasing to the eye...... He didn't realize that there was something wrong with this gesture.
According to Shen Yan's original plan, the noble heir is a role that can be easily removed, or dispensable.
But when he found out the truth of the matter - the heir and the church did not seem to be all the way, especially the church was forcing the heir to "sacrifice", and the heir could only be like a beast trapped in a cage, desperately sharpening his minions in the cage, but unable to find a way out - Shen Yan suddenly had a thought in his heart to help him!
So he decided to show up to test the heir's reaction, and then see how the follow-up plan was adjusted......
After examining each other for a few minutes, the noble heir spoke first, but what he said was irrelevant.
"I've seen some of the family's secret records, may I ask what your race is...... Elf? He looked at Shen Yan's long and narrow ears, "Is there really an elf in this world?" I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else," the heir noticed that he was a little rude, and quickly ruffled his hair to reveal his slightly pointed ears. "I also have elven blood, only a little bit, but I used to think that elves were legends, and I was just a little different from others...... Have a seat! ”
"I'm an elf and I'm a human. My name, Shen Yan. Shen Yan sat down and casually picked up a flintlock pistol on the table, studied it, and he was very interested in this thing.
The noble heir did not get nervous because he had a weapon in his hand, "My name is Herbert Shan Abigail, the rightful heir to this land. Mr. Smoke, may I ask ......?"
"Wait!" Shen Yan hurriedly interrupted, "It's Shen Yan!" It's not Mr. Smoke, it's not Mr. Yan! My last name comes first...... You can just call me Shen Yan. ”
"So is the name of the elf such a rule?" Herbert showed the joy of belonging to the scholar's side, and seemed to want to take out a small notebook to write it down, but he hesitated and gave up, the business was important. "I see, Mr. Nephritis."
Shen Yan, "......"
Why are you pronouncing it so accurately this time?! I'd better kill you!
……
In the next few minutes, the two men exchanged information in a manner that was unusually candid.
Shen Yan told Herbert a lot of "game backgrounds", as well as the roles represented by the old housekeeper, the church and others. Although there is a lot of speculation in this, it does not affect the conclusion.
Understanding these can judge things from a more macro level, and this is what Shen Yan is good at.
In the end, Shen Yan also said his own inference - from the beginning of the ritual of fusing the power of the evil god, the evil god should have lost its eternal ability, but it was still difficult to be destroyed at that time. But as it enters the main plane with more and more power, it will become more and more "weak", because the process itself is the process of the evil god transforming itself from divine to human.
In the end, the evil god should strip away all godheads and transform himself into a divine creature with great divine power, that is, a demigod.
But in order to escape from the cage, this is the price it must pay. Of course, there is also the fusion and dominance struggle with the big. In this way, in fact, the "sacrifice" of the last heir, Herbert, did not have a great effect on the complete killing of the evil gods, the difference between 99% and 100% - but it had a great effect on the church's plan to control the evil gods!
The goal of the church should be the majestic reserve of divine power of the evil gods, after all, as the gods move away from the main plane, the divine power is not much...... But if they are a guts, they don't dare to let this monster out! Even if there is a little bit of Godhead left in that evil godhead, it is not something that the power of the main plane can contend with, so they must be 100%!
Hearing that he didn't have to "sacrifice", Herbert was obviously relieved, and then seemed to have a mental breakdown - he is a person with a bottom line, but he is always kidnapped by morality such as "sacrificing himself to save the world", "for the happiness of hundreds of millions of people, to prevent the evil god from coming, you must die", forced to die, and the life and death of Yalai almost made him breathless!
He knows the church...... No, everyone will definitely benefit from it, and only he will sacrifice himself, but he doesn't know the Tao inside, until Shen Yan explains this matter to him! Everyone wanted him to die, and this is an experience that no one can bear......
Shen Yan's words, whether they were true or not, made him see a ray of sunshine under the thick clouds of Black Town.
When it was his turn to speak, Herbert did not hesitate to say what Shen Yan was most concerned about, "The core secret of Black Town is actually under my family castle. Don't look at the castle is so dilapidated that it is impossible to live in, but who would have thought that the underground space is dozens or hundreds of times the size of the above! Not only are there more than a dozen libraries inside, a huge alchemy laboratory, but there is even a cult of evil gods in the depths! It's been there for hundreds of years!
But now that the church is firmly locked down, I only went in once, got some information, and let me in to test the reaction of the evil god......
That passage ......," Herbert's face showed a look of fear, "no, that's not a passage at all!" That's the monster's throat! Intestinal! The walls are fleshy, covered with tentacles, some with sharp teeth...... And those believers in the Cult of the Evil God, all of them are tentacles......"
"I have a plan." Shen Yan finally said.
*****
The Swan Continent, the Divine Court, is still peaceful.
The palace complex that belonged to the goddess of the sea.
The goddess of the sea walked gently through the cloister to a room located in the deepest part of the palace.
She waved her hand to let the attendants behind her leave. The goddess of the sea stood in front of the door for several minutes, and only when she was sure that there was no one around her, and there were no gods' sensory tentacles, she pressed her hand to the door.
This was followed by the sound of a machine turning for several minutes, and then the heavy door slowly opened inward.
"Ah~~~! No! Don't light! Close the door, close it! "As the warm light shone inside, a rough and hoarse woman's voice came from inside. The light seemed to be the greatest torture to her, and the voice kept screaming and pleading, mixed with muffled swallowing sounds. The goddess of the sea stood indifferently in front of the door and waited for ten minutes! It wasn't until the screams of the people inside became weak that she walked slowly inside, the door closing behind her.
As the door closed, a blood-colored glow peeked through the inside of the house, illuminating the interior in a different shape.
But those blood rays couldn't get close to the goddess of the sea, and a few meters away from her, they were resisted by another blue invisible force. And as she walked forward and retreated, she became overwhelmed.
"You, it's not you anymore." The goddess of the sea said indifferently.
In the deepest part of the house, Frederica, the most powerful doppelganger of the goddess of the sea, left the Ringworld injured and now has a different appearance! The curved spear was still stuck in her chest...... No, it should be said that it has grown with her through countless flesh tentacles! The flesh tentacles were born from spears and Frederica......
Frederica, chained to the inner wall, was recognizable to half of her face, and the rest of her body had been replaced by twisted tentacles and sarcomas.
"Kill me...... Lydia ...... Kill me, I can't give you anything. Frederica still had a rudimentary sense of sanity—when there was no light—and the fleshly proliferation of tentacles did make her painful at first, but now it was beginning to become pleasurable. She knew that she was hopeless, and she also knew that the reason why the goddess of the sea still kept her was to observe the enemy's means and analyze this power.
But she didn't want to go any further...... She knew that persuasion and pleading were useless, and that she would only do so when she lost her mind. So Frederica took one last look at the goddess of the sea and gave up resistance completely. Numerous red spots quickly covered the last half of her face, then turned into a sarcoma, after which a sarcoma exploded, reaching out tentacles......
The goddess named Frederica completely disappeared from this world.
The goddess of the sea watched the final process without blinking, and then raised her hand slightly. Blue light rose from under Frederica's feet, and the flesh tentacles writhed wildly, but to no avail. The blue light of the water quickly spread upward, quickly turning the entire human form into a cloud of blue. Then, with the light touch of the goddess of the sea, it shattered into a room of blue moths.
A black crow's tail feather fluttered out of the blue rain and was caught by the goddess of the sea.
This is the body of the arc-shaped spear that really killed Frederica!
When it landed in the palm of the ocean lady, the small tentacles on it were still moving, as if they wanted to burrow into the palm of her hand! But who is the goddess of the sea? Frederica is just a doppelganger of hers, and the power of her body is very different! It is simply impossible for the tentacles to penetrate the defenses of the goddess of the sea......
The goddess of the sea just looked at it, analyzing.
She knew that the area where the barrier sent Frederica to every time was where the ruins of the ring city were, and theoretically it was indeed as Shen Yan said - if the lady of the ring city had the strength to stay, then it must be in place! Because since the lady did not bother to give her power to anyone when she fell, she naturally did not bother to hide it. As for whether the power left behind will bring happiness or disaster to this world, will the lady care?
This was something that could have been easily deduced, but the goddess of the sea was led astray by other ideas. As soon as Shen Yan reminded her, she immediately felt that it made sense, Ms. Huancheng's personality was so domineering and wanton!
She knew that Shen Yan was also looking for that power, maybe there was a small base in the ruins, and those gods who were familiar with him should be there. But she wasn't going to get involved, and each time she had the barrier teleport her straight into the ruins - to keep the "it's a deal" stance.
If you owe a favor, how will you be a killer in the future!
There can only be one heir to a lady!
So when Frederica encounters an unknown enemy, she takes it very seriously! Because she wondered if someone had touched that power in advance!
Now...... A blue flame rises from the feathers, incinerating the tail feathers to ashes!
For the first time, the Lady of the Sea showed an expression other than indifference - anger!
This power is not only touched...... And someone blasphemed her!
Unforgivable!
