Chapter 121: Vigilance
"There are so many things to prepare for the ceremony, and there are not enough conditions in the wild to achieve it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What's more," Andrew glanced at the souls that were stumbling forward in front of him, and frowned slightly, "These two souls can't hold out to complete the ritual." ”
"Why is it common for the ceremony to not be completed?"
'Telling the dead' is a profession unique to human society that sends souls stranded on the main plane to the underworld.
Races such as elves and orcs not only live in a relatively small space, but they are also extremely devout in their belief in the god of racial protection, and after death, they will naturally be led to the kingdom of the "protector", and there is no need for the help of "suing the dead".
Therefore, Seruna, who only has a one-sided understanding of the deceased from the records in books, naturally feels that everything is new.
Even though she couldn't see the two hazy souls at all because of Andrew's body, the kind-hearted elf girl still expressed her concern in words: "Is something wrong with them, will it leave an irreparable wound to the soul?"
"This kind of thing is very rare," Andrew's tone was no longer perfunctory when he said what he had seen and heard: "Souls are fragile, but they are also the least susceptible to external environmental influences, so badly harmed...... It's clearly artificial. ”
"As for the wounds of the soul...... The flowing River Styx would be the best healer. ”
"It's so bad!" Seruna said through gritted teeth, "He must be a very bad necromancer who can do such a bad thing to a soul that has no ability to resist!"
"Uh......"
Andrew, who is also a necromancer, was stunned for a while, and then he helplessly explained: "The damage suffered by the soul is caused by life, if it is attacked after transforming into a soul, then the fragile soul body has long been annihilated, and it is impossible to hold out until my arrival." ”
After talking to Seruna for a long time, Andrew was able to slowly follow her train of thought, at least to stop the elven girl before her thoughts broke through the sky.
"Oh," the girl nodded knowingly, "So this evil necromancer isn't very, very bad. ”
"It can't be a necromancer's means," Andrew defended, "Some of the necromancer's spells are directed at the soul, and judging by the soul's injuries, it's more like some kind of psychic or spiritual spell." ”
"However, what I don't understand is that according to my judgment of the identity of the deceased, one of these two souls should be a mind mage who has entered the golden rank, but since he is a mind mage of this level, how can he not end up like this?"
"Uncle Andrew, have you carefully investigated the scene, a lot of evidence is hidden in that corner that no one is looking at. ”
The elf girl is very enthusiastic to use the knowledge of the "half-" from the book to give Andrew advice, this kind of game to find the "mastermind behind the scenes" is too much for her appetite.
"No, I don't want to satisfy my curiosity and influence other people's pursuits. ”
"What's more, the 'sue for the dead' should not get involved in the entanglement of interests between the major forces, which not only goes against our original intention, but also disrespects the sacrifices made by the 'guide'. ”
"I see......"
After hearing Andrew's explanation, the little girl did not mention this aspect again.
This is also her cute side, innocence is not a reason for others to be accommodating, and it is far easier to be recognized by others than to be unreasonable and coquettish.
"What a nice little girl. ”
Andrew admired in his heart, and at the same time added a little vigilance to her.
There is a proverb in the material world: the dead make friends - very little.
Reincarnation as an undead soul is an unbearable torture for all living beings, who can only perceive the world through mental power and lose all other senses.
Memories of life are the worst enemy of the dead, and the contrast between vivid and numb can drive any strong-willed undead into madness.
The light ones are mentally confused and mentally traumatized, and the heavy ones are soul riots and their minds are dissipated.
The instinct to survive will make the undead subconsciously block their memories of the past, even if accepting them can improve their strength.
Life without the past is lonely, and the heart of the lonely is cold.
In the perception of the undead, everything in the outside world is static and numb. If you want to go from "numbness" to "coldness" and rub out the fireworks of friendship, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to work hard.
Compared to other undead, "Tell the Dead" and "Lich" are much more "popular".
Whether it is the "sue to the dead" who helps all confused souls return to the underworld, or the "lich" who chooses to reincarnate into the life of the undead in order to have enough time to explore the true meaning of the law, he has enough ability to accept his memories in life.
They never suffer for the beauty of life, and they are never numb to the coldness of the present, because the "sue to the dead" has faith, and the "lich" has pursuit.
It is precisely because of the difference in nature that neither the "sue the dead" nor the "lich" are as hostile to living beings as other undead.
Well...... the "lich" hunts all kinds of creatures and conducts cruel and evil experiments for research purposes, not out of instinct hostile to living beings......
Andrew has always been friendly to others, but that is just a habit created by good cultivation, and it does not prove that he is a warm-hearted person.
In fact, even the "dead ones" who look like humans are still undead in nature, and the world is still numb and cold in their perceptions, no different from the feelings of other undead.
In addition, Andrew was a cold personality during his lifetime, so in the nearly 100 years since he was reincarnated as an undead, he has never had any affection for others.
Even the compatriots who have known each other for nearly a hundred years and are also "suing the dead" are just nodding friends with him, but an elf girl who has only met for more than a day is actually subconsciously regarded by him as a naughty junior or a friend who has been friends for many years, how can such an abnormal thing not arouse the vigilance in his heart?
"How many years have I not had such a strong mood swing?" Andrew sighed, "It's really nostalgic." ”
"It can make people unconsciously relax their vigilance against her and subconsciously accept her...... No, it's not a spell that bewitches the mind, it should be some kind of temperament that she was born with...... This is definitely not something that an ordinary voter can do, she is a godborn!"
Andrew, who had a guess about the identity of the elf girl, became more and more vigilant in his heart, and even the perfunctory conversation with the other party became more and more careless.
The crisp and pleasant voice is forgotten after the ear, and the content inside is not taken to heart at all, because I am afraid that I will lose my due vigilance unknowingly.
Andrew knew that this ability was just a natural temperament of Thirona, and the elf girl herself was not a scheming girl.
But the reality can't help but be careless, no matter when, it is a big trouble to be able to have anything to do with the gods.
