Chapter 16: Ancestral Horcruxes

Of course, it is relatively easy to spend some money and remove bricks in the back.

But this also means that Li Xin can only stay at home stupidly, waiting for Morrowind to grab something before handing it over to himself.

Obviously, this situation is very passive, and Li Xin does not like to pin his hopes on others.

After all, Li Xin also went to college, although he didn't read a lot of books, but there were a few old sayings he had heard, such as sake red noodles, wealth and silk are moving, it is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts.

Then the question arises, how to ensure that after they grab the gold and silver treasures, they will honestly hand over these treasures to themselves?

After all, there is only one person, and if they don't hand it over after grabbing something, it seems that there is nothing they can do......

However, Li Xin's question was not difficult for Morrowind, he had been prepared for it for a long time, and was waiting for Li Xin to ask.

After some popular science in Chenfeng, Li Xin understood the key factor to ensure his interests, that is, a thing called an ancestral horcrux.

It turned out that the nomadic tribes of the entire steppe, both minotaurs and werewolves, possessed a magical creation called the Ancestral Horcrux. This magical creation has been handed down from ancient times, and cannot be imitated with existing magical technology, and each tribe has only one, which can be regarded as a family heirloom of each tribe.

However, although there are more than a hundred Ancestral Horcruxes in existence, their functions are exactly the same, and there is no difference, that is, through the magic circle engraved in the Horcruxes, they provide four standardized psychic magic.

The first of these is the Inheritance Magic of the Tribal Chief.

When a tribal chief dies, if he has an ancestral Horcrux in his hand, the magic will automatically work, and his soul will enter the Horcrux, covering the soul of the previous chieftain and becoming the core of the Horcrux.

In the Horcrux, his soul can sense the emotions of his subordinates, the general direction, and can also interfere with the other three psychic spells, which can only be activated normally if he approves them.

Then, the ownership of the Ancestral Horcrux will be given to the next chief he recognizes. The next chief will be able to understand the dynamics of the tribe, solicit the opinions of the ancestors, and learn the history of the tribe through the psychic communication with the core of the Horcrux, so as to better lead the development of the tribe.

Moreover, the tribes on the steppe only have language and no writing, let alone books and the like. Therefore, this magic is also the only way to pass on all kinds of knowledge, which is only passed on by word of mouth.

Therefore, this magic is the core magic in the Horcruxes, and it is precisely because of it that these identical ancestral Horcruxes have their own historical and cultural inheritances and become heirlooms of various tribes.

Then there is the second psychic magic, the imprint magic of the tribesmen.

When the Horde needs to admit a new member, the Clan Chief activates this spell to imprint the new recruits, and from then on, they can be sensed by the Horcrux Core.

At the same time, it will also be bound by the Horcrux core, if anyone dares to betray the tribe, then the chief can punish it through this magic, or the soul will be scattered, and it will be hung directly, or at least it will be stripped of the mark, driven out of the tribe, and left to fend for itself.

Of course, there must be some harsh conditions for such a powerful magic.

First, the target has not been marked by any Horcruxes.

Second, the target can't resist the magic in his heart.

Third, the target cannot be women.

All in all, whether it's a minotaur, a werewolf, a dwarf, a human, or a vampire, as long as it's a man and hasn't been a member of another tribe, it's a target.

Therefore, this magic is the basic magic to maintain the security and stability of the tribe and promote the healthy development of the tribe, and it is also a great artifact for the tribe to recruit rebels and dig people into the corners.

Then there's the third psychic magic, the contract magic that allegiance to sapient beings.

When a tribe needs allegiance to a sapient creature, it uses this magic to make their Ancestral Horcruxes sign a pact of allegiance with that sapient creature.

This contract was handed down from ancient times with the ancestral Horcrux, it was engraved in the Horcrux, which could neither be modified nor added or subtracted, and would always be the same six terms.

First, the boss must protect the safety of the younger brother's property, not only can't let him be robbed by others, but also can't ask the younger brother for it. As for the younger brother, before the end of December of each year, he must pay one-third of all income for the year as a protection fee.

Second, the boss must protect the personal safety of the younger brother and not allow other tribes to run to the younger brother's house to kill people. And all the men in the younger brother's family over the age of sixteen and under the age of fifty must serve for the boss for two months a year, and they also bring their own dry food, take care of their own equipment, and do not ask for anything in return, even if they grab something, they have to hand it over to the boss, which is simply a magic version of ***.

Third, if the younger brother is so poor that he is dying of hunger, the eldest must also provide humanitarian assistance, such as sending meat and milk, cattle and sheep, and so on. If the younger brother loses more than half of his youth, the eldest must also stop being called up for military service for three years.

Fourth, the eldest cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the younger brother's family. The younger brother must unconditionally obey the reasonable orders of the boss, except, of course, those involving property and military service.

Fifth, if both parties don't want to mix together, then they can also get together and disperse, as long as both parties agree to terminate the contract, after a one-year buffer period, the contract will be automatically terminated.

Sixth, if one party deliberately breaches the contract, the contract automatically lapses. The punishment for breach of contract depends on the situation, ranging from the soul being scattered, burning the body in blue fire, and not lifting it for life, to self-harm and apology, compensation for cattle and sheep, and formal apology.

Although these six clauses seem to be difficult to monitor and full of loopholes, this does not affect the binding force of the contract. Because, there is a good referee who will supervise the execution of the contract and punish the breach of the contract, and it is the heart of the Horcrux, that is, the soul of the previous chief.

Moreover, the referee's method of punishment is also very simple, if he feels that you have breached the contract from the bottom of his heart, then you have broken the contract, and then he can use the power of contract magic to punish you.

Of course, this may seem like a word, but relatively speaking, it is actually relatively fair, because you can fool other people, but you can't fool your own heart.

However, since the referee is the last chief of the younger brother's family, he must be biased towards his own family, so under normal circumstances, the boss will ask the Horcrux of the younger brother's family to come over and keep it for himself, in case the referee is too biased.

In this way, although the referee has the right to punish the boss, and the heart is on the younger brother's side, the boss also puts the knife on the referee's neck, so that a delicate balance is maintained between the two sides, even if there will be some small actions in private, but in general, the contract will be honestly enforced.

Therefore, this magic is the key factor for each tribe to fight without breaking, if you can't fight, you can surrender immediately, the other party can be completely assured, and you have preserved your strength, everyone is happy, and there is no need to fight to the death.

Finally, there is the fourth psychic magic, the apocalyptic magic that produces the Apocalypse Warriors.

This spell can be run every five to ten years, depending on how quickly the ancestral horcrux is replenished, and can be apocalyptic to one warrior of the tribe at a time.

If the apocalypse succeeds, then this warrior's flesh will grow rapidly within a year or two, and finally become a real war machine: about five meters tall, weighing nearly three tons, infinite strength, agile skills, quick reactions, static is not moving like a mountain, moving is thunderous, tearing human beings by hand is like tearing paper, and warming up with one enemy and ten is counted. The giant minotaur who led the team to collect grain that Li Xin saw that day was this kind of apocalypse warrior.

If the Apocalypse fails, it won't have any side effects, but those magic crystals and magic dust that charge the Horcrux are equivalent to wasting them in vain, and these are all precious magic materials.

In addition, the success rate of the Apocalypse is only about three to forty percent, so it is not easy to produce an Apocalypse Warrior, and the cost is huge, so that the Apocalypse Warriors are very rare, and even the Thundering Tribe has only two.

Therefore, this magic is just the icing on the cake magic used to show the strength of the tribe, and it is difficult for small tribes to bear such a large cost of spelling, such as the Rin Wind tribe, which has not produced apocalypse warriors for many years.

All in all, it is precisely because of these four magic that the Ancestral Horcrux has become a well-deserved core of a tribe, if it is destroyed, not only will it be impossible to control the people, but all kinds of knowledge will also be gone, and the entire tribe will definitely eat jujube pills.

Therefore, Li Xin only needs to accept the allegiance of the Rin Wind tribe and grasp their ancestral horcruxes in his hands, so he can not worry about anything, just sit at home and wait for Morrowind to hand over all the treasures he has snatched.

Listening to Chenfeng's explanation here, Li Xin thought that this robbery plan would work completely in theory.

But what is actually going on, I'm afraid only Morrowind knows in his own heart.

After all, this plan and all kinds of popular science knowledge are all the words of Chenfeng, and it will definitely not be all the truth, and it is certain that the good news will not be reported.

But it won't all be lies, because a lie requires 10,000 lies to cover up, and it is quite difficult to make up such a logical fake plan in one day.

Li Xin estimated that this plan should be true or false, and there must be no big problem in the general direction, after all, no one will joke with their own lives. But there will definitely be something to hide in the details, but this is also human nature, the water is clear, there is no fish, the boss eats meat, and the younger brother also needs to drink soup, otherwise who is willing to give the boss his life!

As for what is true and what is false, this needs to be listened to and watched by what it does, and when the plan is operational, it is natural to know what is going on.
