306 Premeditated vs. non-premeditated
After receiving the gratifying enhancement, some questions lingered in Charlie's mind, what kind of bloodline did he have, and why were they able to devour the energy projected by the Devil Lord on the Waglan plane?
Based on Charlie's understanding of the Pavel family, the Earth Thunder bloodline is a bloodline that is biased towards nature and order, and it conflicts violently with the dark and chaotic energy, and it is impossible to devour the power of shadows, let alone give birth to branches of the power of shadows in the bloodline, so his bloodline can only come from his mother.
What kind of bloodline is it? It can suppress the earth thunder bloodline and pass it on to Charlie dominantly.
Thinking of this, Charlie suddenly became interested in the Williamson family, this ancient family that was ignored by the world, may really hide many unknown secrets, and the next time he goes home, he may want to explore the mysteries of the family.
Then, Charlie came back to his senses and found that everyone except him was lying on the ground staggered, Charlie hurriedly checked the condition of everyone, and found that their physical condition was normal, but they fell into a coma, so he put his mind at ease, and he spent a lot of time waking everyone up one by one.
People who wake up have palpitations on average, and many people think that this sleep may be "sleeping" forever, but they didn't expect that there would be a chance for their heart palpitations and introspection.
"Charlie, what the hell is that? it has controlled everyone, why can he break directly into my consciousness, and even steal the secrets of my mind?" Petty couldn't help but shudder, shocked by this powerful presence.
"He's the master of the succubus, and of course he's better at attacking on a spiritual level. Charlie explained casually.
"Then why didn't it kill us all?" asked Petty.
For this question, the answer is self-explanatory, of course, Charlie defeated the opponent, but this conclusion makes them feel somewhat unbelievable, after all, the will is so huge that it is terrifying, so that they can't have the heart of confrontation at all, let alone fight against it and win.
Mike asked in a different way: "Charlie, how did you beat it?"
Charlie shook his head and said: "I didn't defeat it, it's just a plane projection of the devil lord, and its strength is less than one percent of the real lord, because the flesh and blood of the sacrifice is not enough, so the plane projection is very unstable, it attacked me, but because of the lack of energy, it collapsed on its own, and I am also extremely happy." ”
Hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but sigh a few times, and said that it was really favored by Lady Luck.
"What?!!, have all the townsfolk of Sangin been sacrificed?" Mike exclaimed, capturing something more detailed.
Charlie nodded.
In fact, when everyone saw the strange emptiness of the town, they had some ominous premonitions, and saw the methods of the succubus, and fought a hard war of attrition with a large number of undead creatures, and they were already mentally prepared, but when the news was confirmed, especially when they learned that more than a thousand of their lives were sacrificed to the devil, they still felt a chill down their spines.
Everyone searched on the second basement floor, but did not find the altar that summoned Azkal, but found the little girl in the pile of undead corpses that were slowly decomposing.
She was huddled in a corner with a dirty doll in her arms, sleeping peacefully, no scars visible on the surface of her body, only fingers probing it, she had stopped breathing.
There was a regretful expression on everyone's faces, although it was she who brought everyone down and into this trap, but when everyone saw her for the first time, they had already noticed her abnormality, and they were faintly guarded in their hearts, and they came down to investigate, which was also the unanimous decision of the entire team, and after seeing the succubus's methods, it was basically clear about her situation and experience.
Petty couldn't help but sigh, "It's cruel! These are five or six-year-old kids! Could it be that their hearts are made of stone?!"
The crowd was silent.
Qingtong said: "If she lives, how can she face the destruction of a small town? How can she face the death of all her relatives? Perhaps, death is a relief for her!"
Charlie swept the remains of the undead beside the little girl aside, and the Holy Flame ignited the corpses, burning them to ashes, and the green pupils began to chant the song of the over-revenant.
A group of people silently performed a simple transcendent ritual for her to pay tribute to this poor soul.
Finally, the group went down to the third basement floor and found a simple altar made of stones, in the center of which was a dry pool, and at the bottom of the pool you could see dark brown silt, which was emitting a fishy smell.
Looking at the corners of the surroundings, there were some dry and twisted human bodies densely piled up in the dark places, and through the light of the holy flame, you could see that those stumps were terribly old, a layer of dry and wrinkled skin covered the bones, and there was no bloodshot visible from the section of the wound, as if the water in the body had been drained.
Petty couldn't help but look away, and gritted his teeth and said: "This is the most evil, the most inhumane method! Flesh and blood stripping, that pool of black and brown things should be the residual flesh and blood essence!"
In the end, he is a high-level magician with rich experience, and he also has some understanding of some rare evil spells.
Vomit!
A few apprentices finally couldn't hold back the churning stomach and vomited.
Mike said in a deep voice: "Petty, use magic props to record them, this is first-hand precious information, I believe the academy is very interested in this." ”
Petty answered.
"Now that you're done, set a fire and burn everything here, lest evil breed. At last, Mike commanded again.
As everyone was busy packing up, Charlie pulled Mike aside.
"Teacher, you should have experienced the situation along the way, I dare to conclude that today is another disaster day, many apprentices and even teachers have died in the wasteland, never to see the sun tomorrow again.
I'm curious, why is it the apprentice who pays the first price when something goes wrong in the academy?!
I just want to know the mentality and thoughts of the academy's top management at this juncture, why hasn't His Highness the Venerable yet made a move? With their strength, it should be easy to deal with these creatures wandering on the plains, right?" Charlie expressed the doubts in his heart.
Mike frowned, muttered for a long time, ignored the strange eyes of others, took Charlie to the corner of the second floor, and said to him: "This involves a relatively high-level secret, and I can't reveal it to you, but with your performance, it is estimated that you will be able to enter this circle soon!"
Speaking of this, Mike sighed slightly, heavy and depressed.
"Actually, this devil's invasion is not the first invasion of the Wagram continent, there have been many times before, and some of the most influential invasions have even been written into history, such as the fall of the Star Beast.
Textbooks glorify it as a hidden creature of the Wagram continent, but in fact that is wrong, the Star Beast is a visitor from outside the sky.
However, there are generally two types of invasions: one is an unintentional invasion, and the other is an organized and premeditated invasion, the former has a certain degree of chance, and the latter is mostly aimed at plundering or destroying.
While the damage may be similar, the latter is more terrifying than the former.
As you may have guessed, yes, this Devil's Invasion is the latter, and the first premeditated Plane Invasion to date, and it is for this reason that all the Highnesses of the Dharma Venerables have gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and it is likely that they are already fighting the commander behind this invasion.
You have also seen the strength of the Devil Lord, and we are powerless against this kind of strong person who can show his strength across the plane, so although His Highness did not appear on the battlefield, they are probably no less dangerous than us at this moment!"
Charlie nodded silently in understanding, and then asked, "You mean that there have been many invasions before this, right?"
"Yes, in fact, this is the main task of the Field Support Department, in fact, the few closed battlefields in the northeast of the Demon Pivot are the battlefields for fighting the invaders. ”
"You're saying that there are other invaders besides the devil's invasion?"
"Some elemental beings who don't have any spiritual intelligence, but they can continue to grow from the elemental pool, and they can provide high-quality elemental crystals for the academy, so they have not been eradicated. ”
If plane invasion is the norm, then doesn't it also mean that Charlie's universe is bustling.
Charlie said in a deep voice: "Plane invasions have been common to this extent, and the vast majority of people are still in the dark, this is not a good state, if a few people can't control the situation, that is the price of plane fall." ”
Mike replied, "Yes, the problem is very straightforward, and it seems simple, but when it is mixed with politics, religion and interests, it is complicated, and every organization has its own ideas, and everyone thinks for themselves."
So, if we can't find a helper in the secular world, we have to do it ourselves, and as for what we lost, we just have to take it back from other areas. ”
