Chapter 811: Illusion in the Blood Crystal
After returning from the temple, everyone rested in Bernia's yurt for the time being, digesting their newfound information and discussing plans for further exploration of the world. Hethanna stood bored and dangled next to Vivien, fiddling with a small ball of blood in her hand to amuse herself. Baptiste's affair ended unexpectedly, and she felt powerless to punch cotton, so she was waiting for Vivien to decide what to do next.
Vivien, on the other hand, had been fiddling with the blood-colored crystal since the beginning, pondering what it meant. The crystal floated up and down in her hand, but neither the magic nor the blood could make any difference in it, it was like a cold and ordinary beautiful stone, guarding all its secrets.
"Still don't remember who Beatrice is?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivien, "Didn't think about this crystal either?" β
"You know the state of my brain," Vivien shook her head with a wry smile, "Paul was forgotten by me for three hundred years. But it seems that this Beatrice has been forgotten by me more completely...... Even though I knew her name, I didn't think of a single thing. β
"Maybe it's a different name, maybe Beatrice is just a title for witches," Kassandra said suddenly, "Witches and wizards often give themselves 'pronouns' that fall somewhere between a name and a title, and they use these names to cast spells to prevent the devil from being attacked by the power of the devil or being tracked by the demons. However, I've heard that this method doesn't always work, and the more powerful infernal creatures can directly find out their real names. β
"It's a pity that Beatrice is dead, and now we bring Itzhax with me, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out what the witch's real name is." Hao Ren shook his head. He knew Vivien's state of memory, and perhaps figuring out Beatrice's real name would help remind Vivien of the crystal and the witch, but now. No one can hope for Vivien's terrible brain.
"I'm sorry," Vivien glanced apologetically, rubbing her forehead in embarrassment, "I've tried to think about it. β
Lily watched from the sidelines, and rarely felt a little sympathy for Vivian, she patted the latter's shoulder and whispered comfortingly: "No way, after all, I'm old." β
Vivien rolled her eyes and shook it over: "Squat next to it!" β
Lily bared her teeth. While maintaining a squatting state and moving sideways to the side, he muttered: "Cut, I don't know what to do." β
"The other key is what exactly this crystal is," Nangong Sanba looked fixedly at the red crystal that was constantly floating above Vivian's palm. "Three hundred years ago, when you were asleep, you gave a similar crystal to your servant, and put it with your manuscript - this shows that it is a very important thing, as important as your memory. But don't you leave any clues that can open it? β
"Even if there was a clue, I would have forgotten, and even if it was in front of me, I would not have known." Vivien let out a long sigh. "When you forget what you've forgotten, nothing helps. I could only feel that the breath in this crystal was much weaker than the one Paul kept, perhaps because Beatrice had been weakened by the magic she had drawn from it over the yearsβI almost didn't even recognize it as my blood at first. β
Lily looked up at Vivien and muttered, "So care for the empty nest old bat......"
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!"
"Anyway, this thing is the only clue to summoning the 'Blood King'," Hao Ren tapped on the table, "Baptiste was only a wizard apprentice before Beatrice's disappearance, and there is no way he could have researched the ritual of summoning the Blood Lord on his own - let alone sealed such a powerful evil spirit in his magic book. So these must have been inherited from Beatrice. All his magical skills, early knowledge. and magical items that may be related to Vivien, all from Beatrice. This crystal ......"
Lily raised her hand again at this time to indicate that she had something to say, "If it were me, I would eat it and try it." β
"You think everyone is a husky? When you see something you don't know, take two bites and taste the saltiness? Hao Ren squinted at the girl whose thinking had been out of the track for a long time, "Do you know what this crystal is?" β
"You know," Lily's demeanor was surprisingly serious, "you think I'm joking?" This crystal is made by the bat with its own blood - so it is simply what the bat has in its own body, and what can happen if you eat it? β
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lily's statement was also a little reasonable...... But when he thought about it, he felt that he couldn't understand this husky's train of thought, why did he know that if he didn't eat this thing, he had to eat it!? Or how does this product associate the key to solving the problem with "eating"!
But Vivien didn't know what to think, and actually put the crystal to her mouth: "Maybe you can try." β
"You'll wait!" Hao Ren hurriedly grabbed her, "Are you sure you really want to follow Lily's suggestion?" β
"It was my own blood anyway," Vivien licked her lips, "and reabsorb it to reveal something, at least a fragment of the impression from the time this crystal was madeβthe blood of the Bloodclan could store information." β
Heatherena also nodded to support Vivien's statement, and Hao Ren could only give up dissuasion when he saw this. He watched nervously as Vivien put the thin crystal into his mouth, and after a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you need it...... With a little garlic paste? β
"This TM is blood crystal, not blood tofu!" Heatherana glared at Hao Ren angrily, then turned to Vivian, "Lord Vivian, what's the reaction?" β
"Wait," Vivien waved her hand to calm down, "I'm absorbing." β
She reverted the crystals of the blood back into its original form and sucked it into her body, trying to discern every shred of information it contained. Her face changed from time to time during the process, constantly switching between confusion and recollection. She soon discovered that the blood crystal had been formed earlier than she had expected, and her memories flooded into fragments of fragments from an era she had never anticipated, and an even more unexpected perspective.
She saw her other self on the planet from the perspective of a bystander, and although the image was only for a moment, she understood more from her memory than the picture.
Vivien's eyes suddenly opened, the blood-colored light in her eyes flashed, her power was about to explode almost uncontrollably in a thousandth of a second, and Hao Ren even felt like he was a prey to this powerful force at that momentβit could even be said that this power was directed at him. But soon the hallucinatory coercion was gone, and Vivien was fully awake from her memory, and the first thing she did was look up at Geisel: "What's under Dorassil?" β
The Ancient City of Dorashir, said to be a "city of ceremonies" built by the survivors of the earth after the end of the ancient Sun Dynasty, was established after the closing of the heavenly dome and was never inhabited, but only remained in this world as a symbol. Geisel was a little confused by Vivien's question: "The holy city? There's something else underneath it? β
"There's something...... Deep beneath Dorashir, there should be another city there," Vivien snorted and stood up, "without further ado, we must go there at once." β
"Wait, wait," Hao Ren stopped Geisel, who was about to do his bidding, and he looked at Vivien, "You have to leave now?" Is there a problem with postponing it a day? β
"Hold off for a day?" Vivien was a little puzzled, "It's just a day, it should be ......"
Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed to it, signaling the sky outside the tent: "It's too late, and you obviously need to rest, and so do the others." β
Only then did Vivien calm down from her agitated emotions, and she noticed that not only was Lily dozing off on the side, but even Nangong May had already slept with her tail crossed. Nangong Sanba, Hethiana and others are not so serious, but it is clear that everyone is not in their heyday.
"Yes. Then let's set off tomorrow, I'm sorry I'm too excited," Vivien's expression returned to normal and smiled faintly, "Don't be nervous, the situation is okay, it's not that urgent, it's just that I'm affected by the residual emotions in the blood crystal, and I'm a little out of control." β
Hao Ren nodded, wisely not directly asking the other party what he saw in the illusion, but arranged everyone's itinerary: "Okay, let's rest on the Fire Tribe's side tonight, and go to the Wind Tribe's tomorrow." β
Vivien bowed slightly, having no problem with this arrangement. (To be continued......)
