Chapter 348: Convergence
After confirming Sekaria's true identity, although I can't believe that there is really such a thing as a soul being replaced by another body in this world, because the instance is right in front of her, even Xia Li has nothing to say.
However, Sekaria, who had calmed down a little, provided another very key clue, as early as a month ago, she and Eders met a crazy middle-aged man on the street and claimed to be Eders, at that time, this matter was only treated as a madman under multiple investigations, but now it seems that the middle-aged man who made trouble is not a madman, but a genuine Eddes whose soul has been replaced in someone else's body.
That is to say, as early as a month ago, the Nolan assassins used this method similar to soul swapping to replace Edus's inner into their companions, and before today's game, the soul that occupied Edus's body used the same means to call Sekaria alone to a place some distance away from the team in the name of pre-game encouragement and exchanged souls with her, and then entered with Xia Li and others, and then followed the series of things.
Everything seems to make sense, but the only thing that is unacceptable is the exchange of souls itself, in this world the one-to-one union of soul and body is an absolute truth, and a person's body, it is logically impossible to absorb the souls of others and accept the control of that new soul, which can be regarded as the law of the world.
Xia Li couldn't understand it, and Sekaria, who had been replaced with her soul, also didn't know what the other party had done, but Cheruth had a little guess, after all, the other party was an assassin group from the Nolan clan, and the talent laws of the Nolan clan were all kinds of strange and weird, could it be that this situation was also the ghost of the Nolan clan that Xingxi and the others didn't know yet?
Although she suspected that Sekaria's situation was caused by the laws of some of her Nolan kindred, out of insurance, Cheruth finally used the contract communication with Gray Wind to contact her, and found her well-informed virtuous wolf to inquire, and after explaining Sekaria's current situation to Gray Wind and asking her to convey it to Harrow, there was soon a reply from Sister Wolf's side.
"Xiaobai, Sister Harrow said that she had to confirm a few things first. γ
Grey Wind said.
"First, you ask Sekaria if she remembers if she ever looked directly into the other person's eyes before she was replaced; second, you ask Sekaria if she has always felt a little sluggish and always wants to sleep, and third, you ask Sekaria to try if she can use the magic or fighting energy in this body that is now replaced, but remind her that it is okay to use just a little as an experiment, and not to use too much power, otherwise she will probably suffer a lot. γ
Suffer greatly......
Cheruth suddenly felt that Harrow's statement was not very reliable, but now because it was Gray Wind who was helping to spread the word, Cheruth couldn't complain to her face, so she had to silently agree in the message and repeat the words to Sekaria.
Xia Li was a little puzzled by the fact that Cerus had just been sitting there for a while before suddenly saying so much, but Sekaria knew about the contractual relationship between Cerus and Grey Wind, so she could probably think that this should be the result of Cerus asking the virtuous wolf for herself, so she didn't ask anything more.
"Well, that's what you say...... I do remember that at that time, Edes seemed to be very unusually looking at me very stupidly, and at that time I felt uncomfortable looking at him like this, and wanted to say that he was coming, but I didn't expect that I lost consciousness before I could say anything. As for the current state of mind, to tell you the truth, the feeling of grogginess is indeed real, it feels like having a bad cold, and it was okay when I was in a hurry to confirm my identity with you just now, but now that I am at ease, I feel that it is no problem to sleep like this with my head sinking. β
Xia Li wanted to say something with some concern when she heard this, but after seeing that Sekaria seemed to understand her mood and smiled at her with Edus's face, Xia Li's worry magically disappeared, and Sekaria also reflected that her current face didn't seem to be suitable for doing something more familiar and intimate with her original friends, and she looked a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, as for the third point you asked, I'll give it a try now, Eders remembers that he claims to be a dual cultivator of magic and martial arts, but it seems that both sides are not very good, and I am not very familiar with the fighting spirit, so let's try magic, although he is a magician of the fire system, I am not very good at manipulating the fire element, but I think that some of the most basic attributeless magic should be able to gush out. β
Saying this, Sekaria, who was sitting on the ground against the wall, raised her hand, and after concentrating for a while, she saw a small ball of magic energy emitting magical light appear in her hand, but ......
"Ahh
With a snap, the magic ball burst open, and Sekaria let out a hilarious-sounding scream in Edus's male voice and covered her head in pain.
"Leah!"
"Sekaria!
Seeing Sekaria like this, Chelsea and Xia Li couldn't care about how uncomfortable each other's Edus's faces looked, and asked anxiously and concernedly.
"I didn't ...... It's okay......"
Sekaria covered her head with her hands and smiled reluctantly.
"I just don't know what's going on...... Suddenly, it seemed to ...... It was as if something had eaten up in my head...... It hurts......"
The dignified four-star peak magician Ice Princess, even if she is now using the body of Edus, a waste whose magic level is only about a three-star beginner, she will not be able to release a most basic magic energy ball to be so strongly devoured.
"Sister Grey Wind, you tell Sister Harrow, she is all right! Sekaria had looked directly at the other party before replacing her soul, and now her mental state is very bad and she wants to fall asleep, just now I asked her to try to release a basic magic energy ball, but she suddenly began to have a headache as if she had been hit by a magic backlash, and the pain was so bad that it didn't seem to be like the effect of ordinary magic backlash. γ
Grey Wind was silent for a moment, apparently Grey Wind was conveying what Cherus had told Herro, and soon, Grey Wind's message came.
"Xiaobai, Sister Harrow said that she might know what happened to Sekaria, but since there is no way to talk to you directly now, it is too troublesome to explain, so you can think that she has somehow swapped her soul and body. Sister Harrow said that you had better send her over with her current body as soon as possible, so that Sister Harrow could also do a final check to confirm whether her guess was correct or not, and see if there was any chance of remedy. γ
Cheruth was overjoyed.
"So, Sister Harrow has a way to get Leah back to her original state?"
"If Sister Helo's guess is not wrong, then it should be okay...... Ah yes, Sister Hero also said, you'd better bring Sekaria's body back quickly, Sister Hero said that if she expected it right, then the old immortal who is now controlling Sekaria's own body will not cherish her body at all, as long as the princess identity is used, the other party is likely to directly use the same way to exchange the soul for someone else to escape, and Sekaria's body may receive some damage in the chaos, and it will be difficult to change Sekaria herself back at that timeγ γ
Cheruth was shocked, yes, how could she forget this stubble.
Since it is a soul swap, that is to say, the "Sekaria" who was in the sky above the arena at that time because of Ali Ali's obstruction and did not stop him is actually Sekaria herself from a physical point of view, but the soul in it has been replaced, no wonder it makes her feel that she does not look like she is being manipulated by the spirit at all, although her words and deeds are different from the original Sekaria, they all seem so natural...... Since the other party can replace the soul, then there must be some means to temporarily merge the soul that he replaced with Sekaria's body, so isn't it equivalent to changing the personality of Sekaria herself.
According to the Nolan clan's plan, it is very likely that the other party is now manipulating Sekaria's body and fighting with those Templar Knights, and those gods are not expected to have any pity for the jade, and since the person who controls Sekaria's body has such a secret technique as soul exchange, it is natural that he will not be heartbroken by the damage of one or two bodies, but for Sekaria's soul, her own body is unique!
β...... Leah, Sister Xia Li, Sister Harrow said that she might have a way to get Leah back to your original state," Chelus sorted out her thoughts and spoke, "But we must take your body back first, so that in a while, Sister Xia Li, you take Raphael and them to escort Leah She will go back to the royal city first, Sister Helo will wait for you there, I will go to the royal city inn and find a way to snatch Leah's body back." β
Despite the strange way of expression, Sekaria and Charlie understood what Cerus meant.
"Isn't it dangerous for you to do this?"
Sekaria asked, a little worried.
Chyruth was about to comfort Sekaria when she heard footsteps at the end of the hallway where they were.
Someone's coming?
Cheruth and Xia Li glanced at each other, there should have been no enemies in the arena when they came here, right, so the person who came was probably their own people?
When the footsteps reached the corner of the corridor and the group appeared in the field of vision of the three of them, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
β...... Cheruth, Sister Charlie, and ...... Uh, Senior Edus?"
Looking at the strange combination in front of him, Langton, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but grow his mouth in shock, and behind him, Garnes, who was supported by the little wolf and Robert, also walked out of the corner, looking at the three people in front of him, and also showed a surprised look.
Cheruth rejoiced in her heart, just in time, when there was a shortage of people, people came!
In the original assassination plan, Gurney did not want to actually take Gaines' life, but only wanted to create a false impression that Gaines was assassinated and temporarily incapacitate him, so Gurney's stabbing of Gaines in the chest was not fatal. Under the healing of a escaped saintess Jenny, Garnes's injuries were naturally no longer of any major problems soon, except for being a little weak due to excessive blood loss, and basically no different from the lightly wounded who were able to move freely.
Considering that the Royal Guard and the city were likely to have a lot of assassins, Garnes and Jenny did not leave the arena rashly after escaping from the rostrum, but turned left and right inside the arena to go around to the players' preparation area, wanting to hide in the players' lounge for a while. In this way, they happened to meet the contestants of the Fourth Academy, who had followed Cheruth's words and hid in the players' lounge to take refuge from the limelight at the beginning of time.
The players' lounge here can't see the scene outside and can't inquire about the movement outside, so the group waited in the lounge without knowing anything for more than ten minutes, and finally got a little anxious, the little wolf and Langton volunteered, and ran out with everyone's expectations to take a look at the situation outside, fortunately, at this time, the scene outside had been controlled, and the little wolf and Langton soon brought Terry and Zarco, who were overjoyed to learn that Garnes and the holy woman were safe.
Terry didn't suffer any injuries in the previous battle with Gurney, but Zarko took a lot of Egger's punches and kicks in the real hand-to-hand combat with Egger, after all, his sword and shield really couldn't be used in that small occasion, and Egger had to refine his fighting skills for more than ten years because he had to cooperate with his own rules, and he could be regarded as a fighting master without fighting spirit, so Zarko also suffered a lot of losses, and the injury was not light.
From Terry and Zarco, who learned that the outside was already safe, Garnes immediately made a decision, just from the fact that the other party did not know how to control Sekaria and declared war on Solan in public, he dared to be sure that this group of assassins was definitely not only assassinating the saint and himself, but he had no way to get in touch with the royal city now, so His Royal Highness had to ask Terry to ask him to find a way to escort him back to Arlante quickly, at least return to the royal city and tell Charles I everything that happened on this side of the arena, including the matter of Sekariaγ
Luckily, they hadn't set off yet, when they met the three Cillus on the side of the exit passage on the lower level.
β...... Great, at least there should be no problem with the safety of the royal city and the father in the city now. β
Listening to Cerus's question from Greywind about the current situation in the city of Arrant, Garnes couldn't help but look relieved.
"Thank you and your friends for your help, Miss Cheruth, the royal family of Loris will always remember your friendship. β
The wolf girl, who was sincerely thanked by His Royal Highness Prince Loris, just looked at him with half-open eyes and a cold face.
β...... You know, even though you are the prince of a country and you still bend down to thank me, I still can't help but want to beat you. β
Garnes's expression froze, and he subconsciously glanced at the side and Langton and the others who were far away, and looked at "Edus" and Xia Li here with concern, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.
β...... I know that I am not a qualified brother, but for the sake of the common people of this country, at least I must be a qualified prince. (To be continued.) )
