Section 174: Engrams
Dock.
The Pig Kiss was quietly moored, with a few crew members staying on board, and most of them having fun in the taverns, gambling halls, and other places on the docks. The day of departure is tomorrow.
In one of the warehouses at the docks.
A sturdy and delicate wooden box, the lid of which has been lifted at this moment, revealing the contents inside.
"Ah, this is?!" stood in front of the wooden box and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
He saw: in the wooden box, there was a blonde teenager lying down, he was sleeping with his eyes closed. Whether it is the nose or eyebrows, arms or ankles, they are completely replicas of his needle gold, and even the height is the same.
"My lord, this is my stand-in for you. Zidi next to her smiled.
"Unbelievable! How could it be possible to find such a perfect stand-in!" Needle Jin was amazed.
Zidi explained: "Of course I didn't find it, it was made by concoction." He's a beast. β
"Beasts?" Needle Jin's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately thought of relevant information. "This kind of biological weapon seems to have become very popular. Especially in recent years, it has increasingly appeared in the places of war on various continents. β
"It's worthy of an adult, and it's really well-informed. Zidi said softly.
The flattery of such a beauty makes the needle gold very useful.
Needle Gold hummed faintly, and then frowned again: "But why does he look exactly like me?"
Zidi said: "Because this is a beast specially customized for adults." β
"Can there still be customization?" Needle Jin's eyes flashed, and he secretly admired in his heart, "The Wisteria Chamber of Commerce is worthy of being the second largest chamber of commerce after the six majors, no wonder my father would agree to this marriage." With such a huge size, the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce has come into contact with many dark corners of the world, hidden dangerous people. Even if you are disabled, you should not underestimate it. β
Zidi continued, "In accordance with our request, the arms dealer customized this beast. You can also see that he has the same appearance, height, and other characteristics as you. What's more, he, like you, is also a knight, practicing fighting spirit. His fighting spirit is already at the silver level. β
Needle Jin's heart suddenly froze, and he said: "If you want to capture a silver knight, this kind of city lord level person, it's not easy, right?"
Zidi shook her head and smiled: "Our Chamber of Commerce can't do such a dangerous thing. This is all provided by the arms dealers. β
"So, what is his specific identity?" is it a noble son of a family, or a knight promoted by a commoner?"
Zidi continued to shake her head: "We don't know, we can rest assured, his original memories have all been erased, and now it is a blank." Even if he is awakened now, he does not know who he is, but he has been reformed, and he will be faithful and obey our orders until death. β
"The technique of beast manification is really convenient. Needle Jin sighed, but a sense of crisis was born in his heart.
A silver-level knight has been planted, not to mention a small black iron level?
"However, I am married to Zidi, I am a Templar, and I am the sole heir of the Hundred Needles family. They don't dare to harm me. β
Thinking of this, Needle Jin's brows furrowed even deeper, and he saw one of the shortcomings of the beast man: "A blank stand-in, how can you play me well?"
"Please take a look at this, sir. Zidi showed the needle a thing, "Of course we have been prepared. β
When he looked over, he found that there was a milky white crystal pillar in Zidi's palm.
"Angel's tears?" Needle Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, "No, this is the engram crystal of the ghost ginseng!"
Zidi smiled: "My lord, it is really a pleasure to talk to someone with deep vision and wisdom like you. β
Necromantic Patriarch Youshen, sixth on the wanted list, is a legendary figure who pioneered necromantic magic.
There is no way to verify what race he is, and many sources of information mention that he was a successful blasphemous priest who had stolen the divine powers of many gods.
It's not easy.
He has repeatedly succeeded in deceiving the gods, making them mistakenly believe that he is his own follower, so as to project divine power and instill it in the Ghost Ginseng.
Some strong people speculate that it may be that it was the ghost ginseng who stole the divine power of many gods and conducted private research, which prompted him to successfully create necromancy.
And the important prop for the ghost ginseng to deceive the gods is the engram crystal he developed.
This kind of magic prop, which looks very similar to Angel's Tears from the outside, can be deleted and copied from the memories of intelligent beings.
Every time he changed his identity and believed in another god, he would cut his memories into engrams, and then put the forged memories into his body.
In this way, he directly deceived himself, without any flaws, and then deceived the gods.
"Wonderful!" Needle Jin laughed, "just make a copy of the memory and instill it in this stand-in." In this way, it's just a living me. β
"It's just ......" thought of something, and new concerns arose.
Zidi knew what he was thinking, and immediately persuaded: "My lord, don't worry, the secret skills of the Hundred Needles family and the secrets of the Knights Templar cannot be revealed. After the memory infusion, he will only think that he is a needle gold, how can he leak these secrets and hurt himself? Some important memories, we just don't pass them on to him. It's just the two of us who handle this engram. I'm your fiancΓ©e, my lord, and I don't think anything about these secret techniques. Our interests are aligned, Lord Needle. β
Needle Gold nodded: "You're right. In fact, the family's fighting skills, secret skills, and so on have all been leaked out. As a vanquished, these things have long been stored in the depths of the Imperial Library. And these fighting skills and secret skills need to cooperate with the bloodline of our Baizhen family in order to reflect their true value. β
Needle Jin looked at the sleeping stand-in in front of him, and became more and more satisfied in his heart: "Very good, with the use of the stand-in, I myself am very safe." The silver fighting spirit is also just right for the competition for the White Sands City Lord. My own vindictiveness is still too low. It's really a father. I have now fully recognized the decision he made, and the cooperation with the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce has really benefited a lot. β
Seeing the change in Needlegold's expression, Zidi knew that he had approved his plan, so she said softly: "Lord Needlegold, copy the memories next, there are still some things to pay attention to." β
"First, we don't have to copy all our memories into crystals. Because people forget, we ourselves don't remember everything that happened in the past. β
"The second point is that we should try not to miss important moments in our lives. If we miss it, and the stand-in sees the enemy and treats them as friends, then we will be very troubled. β
"Thirdly, please try to reproduce as many positive memories as possible, so that when the stand-in recognizes himself, he will feel that he is a Templar, a good son of a nobleman. In this way, he can give full play to his greater value. β
Needle Gold's face turned solemn and nodded again and again.
What Zidi said was very reasonable, and he quickly thought of Qingkui and Dark Ge: "Haha, let my silver stand-in deal with them." They must have been very surprised when they saw that my cultivation had suddenly been promoted to silver. β
A moment later.
"My lord, how are you feeling now?" asked Zidi.
Needle Jin shook his head slightly: "Except for the headache caused by copying memories, everything else is fine." β
He stared intently at the mirror in front of him.
In the mirror, there is a young man who wants to hang a sword. Black hair and dark eyes, dark skin, and natural curls in the hair.
Needle Gold looked at himself in the mirror with a novel gaze: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the potion prepared by Duke Amy himself, and I have become a completely different person!
Needle Jin thought for a while and said a few names, but Zidi shook her head and vetoed: "My lord, these names you said are too noble." You're playing as a mercenary now, and the mercenary's name needs to be a little more vulgar. It's better to call it a black roll. β
"Black roll? Needle Gold shook his head, then shrugged his shoulders again, "It doesn't matter, let's call it this." β
Zidi looked at the sword on her waist again: "My lord, please give this sword to the stand-in to use." β
This time, the attitude of needle gold refusal was very resolute, he did not hesitate, and shook his head again and again: "No, this is not good. β
"This was given to me by my father himself, it is called Yindian, it is a gold level in itself, and it is actually one of the secondary swords of the Nine Swords of Qiguang. β
"Such a valuable thing must be kept by me personally!"
Looking at Zidi, Needle Jin said again: "But don't worry, although the Qiguang Nine Swords are famous all over the world, there are many secondary swords, and the world rarely knows what they are." I'm not going to reveal my identity because of this. β
Zidi nodded: "Then, Lord Needle Gold, you can go and rest now." I've got rooms ready for the grown-ups, and one of the hottest dancers on the docks. Of course, she is in no way in any way your true identity. Think of it as a test for adults to get acquainted with your new identity. β
"Hahaha. "I've never done these things as a low-level mercenary. This must be interesting. Zidi, I'm very satisfied with all of this, and you're doing a great job. I have now approved of you, and perhaps in the future you will indeed be able to be my wife. Just, aren't you coming to stay with me tonight?"
Zidi smiled, she curtsied, and with the help of the moment of bowing her head, she hid her disdain, and said softly: "I'm sorry, my lord, the Pig Kiss will set sail tomorrow, but there are still many things to deal with." β
"Hahaha. "Then let's get down to business." If you want to continue to work hard, it is not easy to become the wife of a nobleman, with your identity and bloodline. β
"My lord's words, I must take them to heart!"
