Chapter 20: The Path of the Grim Reaper
"Hmm."
The Marquis of Bach snorted softly, and he was not at all surprised or surprised by the various problems of his son Hodge.
After all, as a normal person, when you encounter so many things, you will definitely ask for the truth.
"You're about to be promoted to Sequence 9, and you're going to be in this circle, and there are some things that I should talk to you about."
Marquis Bach looked at Hodge seriously and said softly: "Regarding the sequence pathway, it is divided into sequence nine, sequence eight, and sequence seven...... All the way up to Sequence 1, and Sequence 4, we become Sages, also known as Demi-Saints, capable of casting incomplete mythical creatures to demonize ourselves and turn them into monsters that correspond to the Potions sequence. ”
"The O'Neill you saw this time, he was contaminated by the evil things of the Giant Court Sect, and finally the potion in his body changed, devouring himself, turning him into a mutated giant, crazy and bloodthirsty. The knightly path originated from the Giants, and historical records record that the Giants originated from the original Third Age, in fact, the traces of their existence are much older, even dating back to the beginning of the Second Age. ”
"The Giant Court Sect, which is a cult organization active in the Third Age, believes in primitive worship, believes that the first generation of giants is the most powerful existence, worships ancient giant statues, and adopts primitive, cruel, and bloody methods to draw strength from the bodies of other giants."
"Because the knight's path is the path of giants, in recent years, they have set their sights on the knights of the knight's hall, and through various ways, they have given the statues of ancient giants to those knights to provide them with the hope of promotion, of course, this hope comes at the cost of depravity, madness, and death."
"That evil thing, called [Worship of the Ancient Giant], in rumors, it was born in the Third Age, it was created by the bloodline of the ancient giant clan, and was finally obtained by the leader of the Giant Court Sect, through blood sacrifices and killing of living beings, activated the special power of the seal in it, and used this evil thing to make a lot of giant statues to expand the faith and recruit the cultists, and this evil thing brought by Will is part of the [Worship of the Ancient Giants]."
"Or is it a child-mother type seal?" After being introduced by his father, Marquis Bach, Hodge's face was solemn and he thought to himself.
"This evil thing, as long as the body is not destroyed, can continue to make new giant statues, continue to pollute the extraordinary ones of the knight's path, so as to achieve some kind of ulterior secret." Marquis Bach's expression also became serious, and his attitude towards the cult has always been to eliminate evil.
Especially this time, the cult actually hit him with the idea?
Almost hurt his own son?
This is something that the Marquis of Bach could not tolerate in any case!
"Father, what are you going to do?" Hodge looked at the Marquis of Bach and asked softly.
Marquis Bach's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "I will investigate clearly, and whoever sells this evil thing to the knights under my command must pay the price." ”
"In this matter, I will inform the church and the knight's hall, unite with them, and work together to find the cultists of the Juting Sect in the imperial capital and fiefdom, arrest them all, and execute them according to the law."
"Hmm." Hodge snorted lightly, he was not surprised by his father's reaction, he thought about it slightly, and said, "Father, what are you going to do about Russell and Bessimo?" ”
"As the second and third person in charge of Huodu Village, they didn't discover O'Neill's abnormality in advance and didn't report it in time, but they are desperate to protect you, and they still have merit, and the merit is offset, I will give them some rewards." Marquis Bach replied.
"Father, for their current state, I think it is better to discern and investigate again to prevent accidents." Hodge offered his opinion.
Transferring them out of the Huodu Village Cavalry was the purpose of Hodge's trip.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hodge naturally wanted to achieve his goal.
"Well, I will arrange this matter, during this time, I will let others take charge of the cavalry regiment, and they must first pass the review of the church, the knight's hall, and the magician association." The Marquis of Bach naturally did not refuse his son's suggestion.
"As for the origin and sequence level of Will you asked......"
The Marquis of Bach paused slightly before continuing; "Will Cortez, a high-ranking rebel in the New Gil region, who served as the commander-in-chief of a team of more than 5,000 men, was defeated by my lieutenant in a confrontation, and while fleeing, he strayed into a fire, was saved by me, and eventually became my slave."
"He's been with me for 10 years, and there's nothing wrong with loyalty."
"He is the sequence 6 of the Grim Reaper's path, the name is the Undead Venerable, and his general abilities include manipulating the body of the deceased, manipulating skeletons, grazing the souls of enemies, blending into shadows, spiritualizing, and probing the true body of ghosts."
"As the middle sequence of the path of the god of death, his ability can quietly follow the protector within a certain range, and can summon the dead who have been sleeping to help him."
Hodge nodded slightly, feeling that the gain was not small, and he knew a new way, the Death Path.
A powerful way to manipulate, summon, and herd the dead and undead.
The extraordinary of this path can even turn themselves into undead, which is extremely terrifying.
"This path seems to be very powerful, and I saw that as soon as he made a move, he subdued Russell and Bessemo, and he didn't even use any extraordinary abilities?" Hodge asked.
"The path of death, derived from the immortal bird, can also be traced back to the second age, the extraordinary person of this path, who gets along with necromantic creatures all the year round, has a strong smell of rot and evil qi on his body, and under the inspiration of the extraordinary, such a person is very unpleasant."
"The most important thing is that the promotion of this way requires constant playing with corpses, bones, and skeletons, which may be polluted, eroded, and die unconsciously if you are not careful, and truly sleep forever."
"Sequence 9 of the Grim Reaper path is called the corpse collector, which needs to be consumed by constantly collecting corpses, sequence 8 is called the gravedigger, and the way to digest the potion is to dig up the grave, and sequence 7, called the soul shepherd, needs to herd the souls of humans and monsters, while resisting their infection and erosion, while driving their power, once your will is weak, these herded souls will not hesitate to devour you and turn you into an undead wandering world."
"The extraordinary person of this pathway is destined to deal with corpses, and I don't recommend you to choose this path."
"Collect the body? Gravedigging? Graze? ”
Hodge's eyes lit up as he listened to these abilities and treacherous ways of promotion, and he thought it was quite interesting.
Although he doesn't like to be in constant contact with corpses, bones, and skeletons, the abilities he provides are indeed weird and powerful, and he can't be guarded against.
The Marquis of Bach seemed to see through Hodge's thoughts, and shook his head; "Those who play with the necrons will eventually be devoured by the necrons."
"This path is not a sequence path supported by the government, cultivating this sequence path, you are tantamount to giving up the opportunity to enter the two official forces, only the official department responsible for dealing with special abnormal events may accept you, but, this path, to be honest, I don't want you to go."
"It's too dangerous, and it's thankless."
Hearing this, Hodge frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Father, do you mean the Knights' Hall and the Wizards' Association when you say the two official forces?" ”
