Chapter 407: The Relationship Between the Strange Corpse and the Knight
"No one knows how these people with knightly strength but no morality came to be, and of course I don't know, but I think this matter should also be something that needs to be hidden, otherwise he wouldn't have sent these knights to such a distant place, and there must be some reason for this.

Whether he doesn't want us to discover his secrets, or whether the reason for the appearance of these knights has a very mysterious process, these are very likely the reasons why Il wants to hide the true identity of these knights, as for how it works, maybe only Earl Il can know. “
Jung said his conjecture, which can be regarded as giving Jonas a way to think about it, Jonas touched his face, because of long-term insomnia and a little puffy, the black eye circles on his white face are even more obvious, but Jung's discovery still attracted Jonas's attention, he suddenly thought of the strange dried corpse found in that nameless mountain village, it was a dry corpse burial pit composed of hundreds of people, both of which have one thing in common, that is, suddenly, will there be any inevitable connection between the twoXu Qing thought in his heart, so he told Jung on the side of the idea, Jung listened to it and groaned for a while, and said:
"It's not unreasonable, we still haven't figured out the formation of those dried corpses and their role after they die, and these huge numbers of reckless men have no origin, they look like ordinary soldiers, they don't have the morality and education that a knight should have, and there is indeed some connection between the two, but, Jonas, what connection can there be between this? Between the dead and the knight, in addition to the identity of the murderer and the victim, can they have other connections?"
Jung didn't want to call those people knights in his heart, which made everyone feel that it was a shame to be a knight, but Jung was a little interested in Jonas's idea, but in this line of thought, there was a point that Jung couldn't figure out, that is, the relationship between the dead and those reckless men, what was this relationship? How could a pile of corpses hundreds of kilometers away be connected with knights? This point is very crucial, but it happens to be this, and there is no clue.
The question that Jung was puzzled about was also the question that Jonas was puzzled about, if from a normal point of view, there was no inevitable connection between the knights and those strange dried corpses, but in all the evidence that Il had now found by them, only these two points were clueless, that is, if there was no connection between the two, it was completely unrelated, then the origin of those knights would be really entangled.
"If the origin of those knights is entangled, what about those weird dried corpses?" Xu Qing suddenly thought of this question, which made his mind suddenly widen, looking at Jung, Jonas opened his eyes and asked: "If there is no inevitable connection between the two, then why did Yir let people make these dried corpses? He didn't need to slaughter his own people at all? Could it be that Yir is a murderer, it is not enough to take down the enemy on the battlefield, but also to wield knives and guns against those unarmed civilians?" Do you think Il is such a person?"
Jonas's question was asked very well, and almost immediately put the suspicion of this matter in front of Jung, Jung thought in his heart, and it was true, as far as he knew, Il was not a person who liked to kill, on the contrary, for ordinary people, in fact, Il was generally well-intentioned, and he had never seen Il do it after Il became an earl, but he was very ruthless to the nobles, and he was so innocent of his style, but why did he suddenly massacre civilians on a large scale? This is indeed an unsolvable question.
"You're right, Ilta is not a person who would slaughter civilians for no reason, he must have killed those people for his reasons, but we don't know this reason. Jung nodded and agreed with Jonas's statement, Jung's affirmation gave Jonas great confidence, and he added at the end of Jung's words.
"I think we must pay attention to the fact that all the people killed by Ilr have turned into dried corpses in a very short period of time, when Jana informed me, it was only three days since the villagers died, and it is winter now, most of the moisture in the soil has evaporated into the air, and the rain rarely falls, and the corpses will not complete the process of decaying to drying so quickly under such circumstances, which is not in line with common sense, so when these innocent villagers were killed, Il must have used some special tools to turn these people into this。 ”
"What special tool?" Jung hurriedly asked, and in the conversation with Jonas, he felt that the truth was slowly coming towards him, which made Jung very excited, in his understanding, there has never been a tool that can do the rapid drying of the corpse and retain the moisture of its skin, what is this thing, perhaps the key connection between the knight and the dead.
"I don't know. Jonas replied honestly that he really didn't have any clue about this, because not only in Jung's mind, but also far beyond his knowledge for Jonas.
The world he was in before was a world based on industrial civilization, and most of the things that were talked about by gods and ghosts existed in the world in pseudo-scientific or superstitious ways, and most people basically didn't believe it, and Il was naturally one of the most of these people, and now when he encountered this kind of thing that could not be deduced by scientific reasoning, in fact, Jonas's heart was even more broken than that of Jung.
This is equivalent to the feeling of an atheist suddenly seeing God or the Jade Emperor in the real world, which can definitely make people fall directly into madness, the reason why Jonas seems to be normal now, is mainly because thinking occupies most of his mind, which makes him not need to bear the great pain caused by the collapse of the three views, what is in front of him at the moment is to solve this puzzle, and other things are not very important.
It is undoubtedly a very challenging thing to use a materialistic mind to understand the world of idealism, and Jonas is doing such a challenge, although he does not know what the horror scene is, but he is still using his brain to come up with some possible inferences.
"But I don't think it's a technology that ordinary humans can master, and I don't think there's any dispute between us. Jonas said this, looked at Jung, Jung nodded, agreed, and Jonas continued: "So this kind of murder method must not be simple, this may be alchemy, or witchcraft or something, father, don't look at me with such eyes, unless you can give me a normal explanation of the origin of these corpses, otherwise we can only think in these aspects." “
When the words alchemy and witchcraft came out of Jonas's mouth, Jung's face became a little strange, and his two eyes stared at him, as if to say whether you were joking or not, Jonas also knew that this was really difficult to accept, including himself, when these two words were spoken, Jonas once wondered if he had a severe secondary disease, and would say such terrible words as alchemy and witchcraft in a real world, but reason made Jonas have to make such a conjecture, because the strangeness of those corpses, because of the reason why Il killed them, is already so unusual, and there is something strange in it, naturally, you have to say what you think.
For example, dark magic, such as necromancer, or demon evil heresy, this is very possible, but these words seem more middle-of-the-road so Jonas still didn't say it, and picked out two words that ordinary people have also heard of, and this is still looked at by Jung in this way, Jonas is naturally a little anxious.
"Don't get me wrong, Jonas, I just think it's a little too incredible. Seeing that Jonas was a little angry, Jung as a father was really a little scared, in the communication with Jonas, Jung would always unconsciously put himself on an equal footing with Jonas, not his father's position, this situation will be more and more like this when talking about deeper issues, sometimes even Jung himself is unaware, he quickly shook his head, but it can be regarded as expressing what he thinks in his heart, alchemy and witchcraft and the like, Jung has only heard of it in many folklore, and when he grows up, he no longer believes in these things, and now he listens to Jonas's mouth say thisIt's like some kids want Santa Claus to give gifts.
This feeling is naturally strange, after all, no one has really seen alchemy and witchcraft, just like no one has seen Santa Claus, these things only exist in the pen of the novelist, and in the fantasies of children, and do not exist in this world, but Jonas said such childlike words in such a mature tone, Jung, as a thirty-year-old man, really did not believe it.
"It's such a coincidence, and I think it's incredible. Looking at Jung's somewhat nervous appearance, even the muscles on his body began to tense, just after being roasted by the fire for a while, Jung's body has obviously been somewhat relaxed, but now because of this discussion has become like this, Jonas also shrugged his shoulders and made a small joke, Jung did not laugh, still very stiff, but the atmosphere eased down, Jung was afraid, in fact, Jonas was also afraid, Zi Bu is strange and confused, this is the tradition of the Chinese, but now they have to use scientific inference methods to study unscientific things, Jonas is naturally very awkward in his heart, although this joke did not make Jung relax, but it made Jonas relax a lot, looking at JungJonas continues:
"But who called this thing very unusual in the first place, how can an ordinary person become a knight from an ordinary person without training and polishing, if you think that magic methods such as alchemy and witchcraft do not exist, then where did those reckless men come from, we have no way to explain it, right?
Now in front of us, the only way to explain is that Il used a power that we don't know to kill those ordinary villagers, and then used those killed villagers to make many strong soldiers gain the power of knights, although there are many things in it that are a little incredible, even unbelievable, but now we only have this kind of speculation that can get the result, we have no choice, this is our only choice. “
Jonas's words are very cruel, for Jung, the mysterious power to take people's lives, and then transform them into a special substance to strengthen the human senses made him feel very frustrated, like him, if you want to become a knight, you must go through many tests, and finally after many aspects of training, you can become a real knight to gain the trust of the Lord.
And these people, originally just a group of ordinary soldiers, and the difference between themselves is like mud, and now, they can obtain the strength of knights without any training, which is really very painful for Jung who is proud of himself as a knight, he suddenly feels that his strength has become very low, mentioning the word knight, although he strongly denies that he is a person of the same strength as those reckless men, but there is no doubt that the word knight is tainted by these people, which makes Jung more eager for the power of knight of the medal。
Jung can't tolerate himself and these reckless men side by side, this is the dignity of being a nobleman, but also the arrogance of being a warrior, from this moment on, becoming a knight of the medal, it sprouted in Jung's heart, looking at Jonas, for his guess, he also had to agree, after all, now from Il's body, only there is an inevitable connection between the two, if he denies this conjecture, it is no longer possible to find something from Il's body, although Jonas is unreliable no matter how he listens, but since there is nothing else to check now, he can only follow this only clue to investigate。
I made a decision in my heart, Jung is also a direct person, looked at Jonas and told Jonas: "Indeed, as you said, this is almost the only clue we can investigate, Jonas, this matter is left to you, my goal is too big, and you are just a child in the eyes of others, if you go to investigate, even if you are discovered, you can have a chance to escape, and there is a step between me and Il that can go down, so this matter can only be handed over to you." ”
