Chapter 44: A Guess
Luo Ling walked around in front of the defense line and continued to analyze: "You see, I deliberately moved my position forward a lot before, first, to facilitate sniping evil spirits, and secondly, to try if the evil spirits were coming at us, but the result was no, they would rather take a long detour to possess those dwarves than turn a blind eye to us." ”
Elaina nodded in agreement, "Indeed." I could see from my magical vision that as soon as the demons left the golem's body, they would immediately pick their target and pounce on it. They never hesitate at us. ”
"So they don't pick random targets, they pick dwarves at random. Luo Ling concluded.
She pulled the collar of her down jacket, and although it was still cold, there was a kind of hot posture at the entrance of the entire ruins, and it seemed that people were also warm. She watched as the dwarves lifted the fallen golems out of the stone wall and piled them aside. Clear the field and prepare to destroy the next golem. And Adan had long lost his previous mood at this time, and was praised by the dwarf triumphantly.
"On the other hand, the fact that the evil spirits possessed is also very strange in itself, as soon as all the evil spirits possess them, they start to attack the people around them indiscriminately, without any reason and unable to communicate. This is very similar to how a golem attacks a person. These demons have only carried over the actions of the Golem to the dwarves who possess them. ”
"So it seems to me that demonic possession is not conscious, it's just an instinct. They occupy new bodies because they have lost the body of the golem, and they stare at the body of the dwarf simply because they like it, or even get used to it. ”
"Your Excellency Luo Ling, what do you mean by this, what do you mean by getting used to our bodies?" Luo Ling and Elaine were not small when they spoke, and the village chief of Yasen, who was not far away, heard their conversation and couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Elaina, from your magical vision, does the evil spirit look like a person's spirit body?" Luo Ling asked.
"It's not like it. Elaina thought for a moment and said, "It's like because when fighting with the host for control of the body in the body, its energy nature is extremely similar to its spiritual power. It is not like it because the human soul is invisible, while the evil spirit can exist separately from the body, can be seen, and in terms of form, they are all octopus-like, and they look exactly the same. ”
Luo Ling lowered her voice at this time and said, "So I guess that the essence of the evil spirit is the extracted spirit body, or soul. It's just that these souls have been shaped very similarly by magic, and have a certain ability to move out of the body, perhaps it is because of this magical relationship that they can be seen by us. ”
"So, these golems are actually made by living people?" "Elaina's expression as she looked at the golem was obviously a little more disgusted, "However, this is really something that the Black Dragon Empire has done. I told you a long time ago that the Black Dragon Empire is the most evil country. ”
By this time, Yasin had already guessed the answer, and the muscles on his face kept shaking, "So, you guess they used dwarven souls?"
"Yes. That's why these spirits, after leaving the golem, always rush at the nearby dwarves, probably just instinctively wanting to return to their old bodies. Luo Ling took a deep breath, and the chill in the air seemed to get heavier and heavier as the topic deepened.
"It never occurred to me that the work of our dwarves day and night would not satisfy them. Black Dragon Empire! They want to use such cruel methods to squeeze every drop of oil out of us. Yasin clenched his fists and slammed into the horse beside him.
Elaina looked at the old dwarf with some sympathy: "I guess it's because dwarves are physically and mentally stronger than humans, maybe for that kind of concoction technique, dwarves will have a higher success rate." However, according to my understanding of the soul, the soul is a difficult thing to master, too varied, too unstable, and the success rate of such magic will not be too high, so I am afraid that I will have to try it on many dwarves to successfully extract an evil spirit. Elaina said, "Village Chief, when you were in the Black Dragon Empire, did you encounter a situation where a large number of dwarves disappeared?"
"I remember a riot in which quite a few dwarves were taken and never returned. It was just around the time the Golem was nearing completion. My father told me about it, and it turned out to be ...... So that's ......"
Luo Ling said: "Maybe this is only a small part, the Black Dragon Empire can buy dwarves from the princes separately, these dwarves you won't see at all, and they will be made into evil spirits." ”
"You're right. These people didn't even leave a trace, except for the little thing that belonged to them in the golem's head, everything else that belonged to them was gone. The village chief suddenly looked up, "In this case, it is very likely that we have eliminated our own compatriots? Is there no way to make these brothers who have lost their bodies regain their consciousness?"
Luo Ling sighed softly and said, "You have also seen that we can't communicate with the evil spirits. I suspect that the evil spirits we see now are not what the Golem's controlling soul should be. It is absolutely self-defeating to really use such a crazy and out-of-control combat tool on the battlefield. When the Golem Master of the Black Dragon Empire concocted the Golem Soul, he would definitely make them look like they were easy to command and obey orders. ”
Elaina interjected, "I've seen the elves' records of golem battles, and they advance and retreat in a measured manner, like an arm and a finger. It's not what it is now. ”
"My guess is that as time goes on, these souls will probably have the same problems as the golem's body, and they will become more and more insane, and finally only the instinct to attack will remain. None of the spiritual magic of humans or elves that I know of has such a restorative effect. To be honest, I think the best place for them is to be dispersed in the air. Luo Ling glanced at Elaina, who nodded with a heavy expression.
The village chief of Yasen lowered his head and said, "You are right, they themselves must not want to exist like this. We dwarves would rather be destroyed than be ghosts without bodies. He raised his head and looked at the dwarves around him who were ready to fight again, and said resolutely: "Two hundred years, these evils of the Black Dragon Empire should be over." Let's send these brothers back to the God of Forging cleanly!"
As soon as his voice fell, Ji Yijun came from the side: "Sister Luo Ling, come and see! Something is wrong, the Adan Monster has not been pulled well! The Golem has rushed up!"
