"I want this woman's soul not to fall into hell forever after she dies...... A rare forbidden ritual would have to be performed. André looked around, and although the words that came out of his mouth were shocking, no one dared to question his words for a moment.

You must know that the green light in his hand just now has fully confirmed the reliability of his identity as an earth sacrifice, so the words spoken by the son of the abyss have a certain weight.

Knowledge, as a sufficiently special resource, has always been in the hands of a few in this world, at least in human society. Mortals know about things like magic and witchcraft often through rumors and conjectures, and when a person who seems to really know these wonderful rules swears to say something, people are skeptical, but no one will easily open his mouth and question the "authority" standing in front of them.

Except for the guy whose IQ has gone offline and who doesn't talk through his brain.

"Don't you want to bewitch everyone here!, can the things decided by the gods be changed by the so-called forbidden arts of mortals!?"

In fact, what Adrian said actually makes a lot of sense. The most direct way to ask the gods to forgive Andronie's soul is to ask the gods to show mercy, as the girl said, her last wish is only for the children of the abyss to ask the earth goddess for forgiveness at her funeral. And most of the so-called forbidden techniques are things that violate the principles of heaven and are not recognized by the gods and the world. Generally speaking, using something like "forbidden art" on such an occasion is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

It's just that the son of the abyss, who already has a solid idea, won't dwell too much on these details, although he's just bewitching everyone, as Adrian said, but the ban is not a nonsense for no reason.

Forbidden spells, if taken literally, are spells that cannot be easily cast and are often accompanied by certain taboos. The reasons that are considered taboo are often because of the consequences that people cannot bear. For the elves with a long history of life, excessive hunting and deforestation can all be considered taboo, but relatively short-lived and short-sighted humans rarely really care about this.

The taboo that André mentions is a unique spell that originated with witch doctors and shamans and was then refined by a master druid.

Although it is enough to be called a taboo, it is completely different from the taboo that everyone guesses, so in order to achieve enough bluffing effect, the children of the abyss have made up a set of statements in a few sentences.

"There is such a saying in a distant east, farther than the vast whispering forest, in a foreign land beyond the vast ocean. If a woman dressed in red hangs herself under the gray thorn tree at midnight, her soul will remain in the mortal world, turning into the most vicious and ferocious spirit, haunting the darkness and attacking the past alive...... If such a thing really happens, often even the highly respected sacrifices will be helpless. As if laughing at the ignorance of the other party, Andrei kept pointing at his young nobleman, but he was very "considerate" to explain. The contemptuous tone fits well with people's impression of those who are arrogant and have a high status.

In the prejudice of most human beings, elves and half-elves are mostly this virtue, and even more than that, there are probably only elven royalties and sacrifices that exist in their imagination.

Everywhere, things like the undead are almost invariably associated with darkness. In the legend of the underworld, after death, the souls of sinners will be bound to the gray thorn tree to be whipped and judged by the messengers of the underworld under the Death Throne, and those who are protected by the gods will receive tokens from the hands of the Yellow Spring Messengers that will allow them to travel to the kingdom of the gods.

For the devotees of the Earth Goddess, their token is the seed of the oak tree, and in the canon of the Lord of Radiance, they are the golden tulips in full bloom.

In short, the legends about the kingdom of God and reincarnation vary according to the beliefs of mortals. Will the girl in red who was forced to die in front of everyone turn into a soul-loving ghost out of resentment? No one can say this kind of thing. What's more, since the soul of the self-abandoning person is not accepted by the gods, it seems that staying in the mortal world has become a natural inference. Although it is said that there is a debtor and a debtor, who knows if the resentful spirits will go berserk and vent their anger on those who once stood by and watched?

So, after the Child of the Abyss said this vulgar and plausible setting with a serious face, more people subconsciously began to believe in this "half-elf sacrifice".

For these ignorant people, it is enough to believe that their mentality is enough reason for them to decide not to interfere with the "forbidden arts".

As for why the Children of the Abyss decided to use the "forbidden art" to cover up their eyes and ears to save Androni's life, they also have to thank Adrian, who was stopped on the other side and almost lost his mind.

Adrian, who originally thought that he was a beautiful woman in his hands, was full of hostility to the child of the abyss, who seemed to have some secret with the girl in red, because of Andronie's resolute self-murder and final request, and subjectively regarded Andrei's original blood-colored magic flash as evidence to question Andrei's sacrificial identity, and in his imagination, the terrifying red light was undoubtedly some kind of unknown evil spell.

Adrian didn't think that way, because he wanted to deliberately slander this half-elf who had ruined his good deeds. In fact, before Andre unleashed the green ball of light, which represented the magic of life, many people present regarded the strange red magic like blood as some kind of ominous power like him.

Thanks to these guys who know little about the magic of life but think they are self-righteous, Andre has a countermeasure in his heart and can save Andronie's life in full view.

-- The well-known and subtle magic of life that is ubiquitous among flowers and trees is undoubtedly green. Even for naturalistic, vegetarian races such as elves and half-elves, the life magic contained in their bodies is also green, and this phenomenon that is close to common sense even applies to some other races, including humans, dwarves, and gnomes, but there are many exceptions.

The Demon Race is the most prominent example of this. Blood pools are the most well-known and typical phenomenon of this particular case. In order to understand the mystery of the demon's reproduction through the blood pool, the Children of the Abyss have specially studied the difference between the magic of green life and the magic of blood life, and it is not that complicated to sum up.

Life mana that tends to be light and gentle is green, while life like most demons, which is more closely related to the shadow element, accustomed to fighting and devouring flesh and blood, tends to be red. Among most of the composite magic that Andre knew, the magic hybrid combination of "Life + Light" and "Life + Shadow" was the easiest to perform, just like many low-level demons could not separate this blood-colored mixed magic, and even high-level elf sacrifices had difficulty extracting the light element from the green magic.

Although on the surface the two types of magic are very contrasting, in reality they are not as clear as they seem, and in most cases the two life forces are actually interchangeable. According to the theories known to the Children of the Abyss, the difference between red and green is essentially the difference in the wavelength of the spectrum emitted by the magic.

Just like metal ions have some similar properties, but they show colorful differences under human vision - iron ions are red, which is where the red of blood and rust comes from, but ferrous ions are far from green, so the huge difference in vision and color does not mean that their essential differences are as far as people think.

Whether it is a human being or other beings with a certain amount of intelligence, they are easily affected by appearances. If you want to understand the truth hidden beneath the surface of things, you need to constantly explore and accumulate knowledge.

Thus, the Children of the Abyss, who had mastered the power of blood, were able to generously add the magic power to the healing spells under the noses of the people - in the eyes of others, this kind of spell that was as red as blood and had an unclear relationship with the demons in those rumors of chasing wind and shadows must have nothing to do with healing spells.

Without hesitation, André bit his finger and smeared the blood from his fingertips on Androni's forehead, cheeks, and arms. This kind of forbidden spell by the elves originates from the tradition of shamans and witch doctors using their own essence and blood to cultivate demons, and weak phantom beasts and demonic beasts need a lot of magic to nourish in the process of growth, and the blood of people with abundant spirit and magic power is the most direct and effective nourishment. Although blood cultivation inevitably comes with certain dangers, it does establish a quick and effective link between breeders and demons - provided that the blood providers are not regurgitated and infected by pathogens.

Inspired by this ancient tradition, knowledgeable druids and priests developed a blood-mediated method of spell casting, a taboo ritual that was quick and effective even surpassing ordinary healing spells, known to them as "blood diversion", through which their own life magic was transferred to the recipient who was in need of healing.

The advantages of this approach are twofold: the mana transfused through the blood diversion is more acceptable to the recipient, and it is more gentle to the recipient, which André understands as "effective in suppressing the rejection of the recipient and improving the efficiency of the transformation of the magic". In addition, blood diversion can be more effective in replenishing the "source of life" of the recipient, and in the records of elves about healing spells, it is often used as a substitute for magic when the caster's mental power is insufficient, and to treat seriously injured and dying people. Although he has not yet confirmed it himself, Andrei still follows the principle of reasoning in a logical way as much as possible, and does not think of it as mysterious. In his opinion, maybe this is just a special way of magic blood transfusion.

With the flow of Crimson Mana, André could finally feel the girl's heartbeat gradually becoming stable, although her face was still as pale as lifeless white jade, which was distressing.

The blood-drawn runes shifted with Andronie's heartbeat, always absorbed the moment they were applied to her white skin, and Andre looked like a pastry chef with red magic fluorescent paint adorning the cream with cute decorations, his eyes focused and calm.

This spell, which had been perfected by the elves, was indeed amazingly effective, and the druids and priests did not allow young people to learn this form of healing that relied on their own blood and magic as a medium. First of all, they believe that abilities that come too easily can lead to an inadvertent over-reliance on them, and that mastering such spells can be a very dangerous thing for inexperienced and immature apprentices with limited magical powers. If the magic is not abundant enough, it will only put both the caster and the person being healed into a weak, or even near-death crisis, and even if both the caster and the recipient are very lucky to be alive, the period of weakness after casting the spell is accompanied by various unexpected risks.

The children of the abyss, who bear the seed of Garanord, do not have this kind of worries, compared to the life spells that the elves are good at, the demons seem to have a higher ability to control "blood magic", and even most demon dragon warriors always have a red magic flash when they cast dragon strikes. Being able to cast "blood magic" freely, and at the same time having a certain amount of research on blood pools, allowed André to master this forbidden spell in academic discussions with elven elders.

The more he learned about spells, the clearer Andre felt the laws hidden in the magic, but the unique spell of "blood diversion" still made him feel very magical. The blood that flowed from his fingertips seemed to be pulled by something, slowly and uninterruptedly flowing towards the unconscious girl, as if through this unique ritual, the blood originating from the abyss could break through the boundaries between genes and blood type rejection and supply the other party completely unrestricted.

The twisted fate of the girl in the red dress has been forcibly reversed by Andre, and if everything goes well, Andrei's plan to hide his eyes will be successfully achieved.

It's just that the mood of the people who witnessed the whole "ceremony" process was difficult to agree with the children of the abyss. In their eyes, the unsettling red light turned the pretty faces of the half-elf and the girl in the red dress pale, as if they were haunted by darkness and would choose people to devour bloodthirsty ghosts at any moment.

Because the special effect of this spell was so penetrating, even Adrian, who had been shouting incessantly, was very rare to keep quiet in the process, until the Children of the Abyss asked his subordinates to find a simple wagon composed of a wooden board and four wheels through Mr. "Nineteen", and carried the girl in the red dress with the blood rune gradually fading from the pool of blood to the car unhurriedly.

"What do you want to do!?" Adrian shouted with a glare.

"What for?" said Andre contemptuously, "the ritual of calming the soul just now was only a temporary measure, and it was only safe to take her to be buried under the Grey Thorn Tree, and to pray that the messenger of the Yellow Springs would take away her spurned soul." ”

"Who knows what you did to Annie!?Who knows what your evil spells will do!"

Although what the other party said was very reasonable, but the son of the abyss seemed very calm, he smiled a little ill-intentionedly, and the smug look made people have to carefully consider the truth in his words: "Could it be that you want to take over the rest of the things and try the consequences?" That saved me a lot of effort, anyway, the first thing the resentful soul who turned into an undead must be the guy who forced her to die. Maybe after venting her resentment, she will take the initiative to follow in the footsteps of the Yellow Springs Envoy to the underworld? Or ...... Such a happy decision?"

At this point, the final difficulty was to move Androni's "corpse" elsewhere. If it is not handled properly, it is not impossible to fall short, and it is precisely because he is not sure in his heart that Andrei will be alarmist with an indifferent face, making people feel that he does not care about Andronie herself.

He's done his best anyway. In most of the occasions where the power is not caught, it is people who rely on people to get things done, but it depends on the "sky" to achieve things.

The girl on the cart can be regarded as a very rare "beautiful corpse", but surrounded by orcs, few people really dare to try what the spirit is talking about. The onlookers didn't dare, and the culprit who caused the girl's suicide was naturally more weak-hearted.

The cavalry under the command of the young nobles all looked like they were ready to attack with their swords drawn, and they confronted Andre and his party and the guards guarding the "Nineteenth", and the scene was a little tense for a while...... Although Andrei was very skeptical that the cavalry on the opposite side would be able to deploy at such a close distance and in such a crowded situation.

Adrian frowned and weighed in confusion, thinking about it for a long time, as if he was about to say something, but the moment he wanted to say it, his mind went blank. Like everyone in the room who looked at the Children of the Abyss, his face suddenly turned pale. His expression was stiff and his eyes were distracted, as if he had seen some strange picture that was completely unacceptable!

- In the vision of the Son of the Abyss, the memo of the Earth Goddess and the invitation of the Lord of Yellow Springs appeared in front of him, accompanied by a dazzling but not dazzling wonderful aura. The windless automatically opened the title page with the delicately decorated seal engraved with the deity articles, and the divine light that spread out to the surroundings spread out like ripples in the water, attracting everyone's attention and inspiring awe.

Andrei, who was the only one who could see what was written on it, found that the two "oracles" related to Androni had just turned into stars and disappeared under his gaze.

Then the memo representing the goddess turned into a stout green vine rising from the ground, and the huge green leaves and vines seemed to be all made up of illusory magic that shimmered with light.

The gray "invitation" turned into a gray one in the billowing smoke, and the relief depicts the gate of hunting, farming, birth, old age, sickness and death, which carries a sense of oppression enough to make people feel suffocated, and seems to be able to bring irresistible fear to everyone present.

The fear of death.

Slowly opening the door, a huge figure shrouded in a cloak that sent chills down the spine, gray flames burning in the white and hollow eyes under the tattered hood...... It was a terrifying skeleton like the bones of a giant.

Children of the Abyss Lv.1

......

- The phantom controlled by the "Eye of the Abyss" had quietly unfolded in front of the eyes of the Children of the Abyss without him noticing, and the long-awaited image had come so suddenly.

Damn!Actually upgraded at this time!?

Andre, who looked terrified like everyone else, subconsciously rubbed his chin.
