Chapter 299: Heart of Madness
After leaving the Holy Crow Cave and leaving the Sacred Mountain, Qi Lin and the others faced the night and returned all the way back to the Blood Crow Walled City to rest.
However, the rest of the people in the Blood Raven Walled City could not rest.
The founding ceremony is about to begin, and the high-level and military of the major tribes of the Demon Sea will arrive on Blood Raven Island one after another in the past two days.
Therefore, in the past two days, the clansmen of the Blood Raven Tribe have been very busy, busy receiving various tribes, and preparing various things to ensure the smooth convening of the founding ceremony.
Overall, although the Blood Raven people were busy, the atmosphere was also quite happy.
After all, the islanders who had been divided for hundreds of years were finally going to reunite and become a whole again, and the vast majority of the islanders in the Demon Sea were optimistic about this matter, not to mention that the founding emperor who was about to ascend the throne was still the lord of their Blood Raven Tribe, so the Blood Raven Clan was naturally the most happy.
Of course, not all islanders are happy.
The islanders have been divided for hundreds of years, and there are deep or shallow generational blood feuds between tribes large and small, just like the blood crow tribe and the blood bear tribe before, so there are still a considerable number of islanders who oppose the establishment of the country and integration.
Although under the leadership of Andre and other lords, the establishment of the islanders is already the general trend of the Devil Sea, and it will not be changed by the will of a few islanders, but in any case, the opposition of these few islanders will have to be dealt with sooner or later.
Because the reason why these few islanders oppose the integration of statehood is mainly because of the generational blood feud between the tribes.
After all, after the founding of the country, all the islanders became a family, so what about the original generational blood feud between the various tribes?
A write-off?
That's not realistic.
After the islanders established the country, how to deal with these generational feuds between the original tribes is also a big problem, otherwise it is very likely to form a negative factor that affects the internal stability of the kingdom over time.
However, these things do not need to be worried about by Qi Lin, but things that Andrei and the ministers of state should rack their brains.
Qi Lin is neither the emperor nor the minister of this islander country, he and Tang Haoyuan and the others are just passers-by, destined to leave here in the near future and return to where they should go.
So, he only needs to worry about one thing now.
- Defeat the Pope and get the Space Gem on the Pope's crown!
In two days, the founding ceremony of the islanders will be held.
Then, as the emperor, Andre will lead the islander army to the inland and start a war with the Holy See, and they will be responsible for helping Qi Lin contain all the rest of the Holy See's armies and provide Qi Lin with a one-on-one combat environment with the Pope!
This battle can only be won, not defeated!
……
……
The time of the night passed quietly.
The next day, early in the morning.
Sunlight shone through the half-hidden windowsill to Qi Lin, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the room, covering his gray hair with a hazy glow.
Qi Lin immediately finished meditating, opened his eyes, stood up from the floor, performed a simple wash with magic, and then took out one Zerg cultivation pod after another from the space necklace around his neck, and began to burn spider eggs.
Soon, the fresh spider eggs of these 20 cultivation cabins were burned by him.
Qi Lin didn't empty the spider eggs yesterday, so the experience value of the spider eggs harvested at this time is two days of yesterday plus today, and the number of spider eggs adds up to almost 230,000, that is, almost 230,000 experience points, which made him upgrade 6 levels in a row and obtain 6 attribute points.
[EXP: 1023/39400]
[Remaining Attribute Points: 74→80]
"Hmmm......"
Qi Lin put away all the cultivation cabins, put them back into the space necklace, and then stretched.
He glanced at Catherine and Irene who were still asleep on the bed, and without waking the two succubi, he pushed the door and left the room.
Qi Lin went straight downstairs and went all the way to the courtyard of the bamboo and wood attic.
At this point,
A flaming firebird was standing on the lawn of the courtyard, looking up and enjoying the warm sun...... Well, it always feels a little strange.
"Can a body formed by the condensation of the flame element also feel the temperature of the sun?"
Qi Lin walked to the lawn, sat down on the stone chair on the side of the road, and asked the holy crow who had taken the body of the fire demon.
"Of course."
The Crow remained motionless and said without looking back, "It is a wonderful experience to experience the world in the form of an element, and if you have the opportunity, you can also try it." ”
"By the way, Patriarch Keturu, look at you like this, you don't seem to be angry?"
Qi Lin leaned back on the stone chair and said in surprise: "To be honest, when I came back last night, I thought you would be furious or something, but you actually stayed here quietly all night and didn't make any trouble." ”
"Angry?"
The Holy Crow said in a calm voice, "What should I be angry about? Angry that you decided not to carry out my plan? Angry that you decided not to go to the Blood Pool Sanctuary and not to operate the Control Hub?
No, I don't need to be angry about that.
The demonic pact between you and me is clearly stipulated, you must kill Joshua within two months and make it go away, or you will be killed by the demonic pact.
And you definitely don't want to die.
So you're going to find a way to get it done.
As for how exactly you want to do it...... It doesn't matter, as I said last night, human, if you really have any other way to help me kill Joshua completely, then I will have no opinion, and I will even be happy, because then I will not have to sacrifice the innocent you for revenge. ”
"That's right."
Qi Lin nodded slightly, then thought about it, and asked again: "Anyway, I had an idea last night, but I didn't ask it at the time, now ask it, Patriarch Kaitulu, you said that the control hub, if the physical strength of the operator is lower than the seventh order, then after the operation, it will be sucked dry of flesh and blood, so can we do this...... Well, that's it, I'm in charge of casting the Mad Fire Rune to open the rune door of the Blood Pool Temple, and when I get in, I'll change someone else to operate the hub on my behalf, such as finding a damn scum or something, there is no shortage of this kind of thing among the islanders of the Demon Sea, is this feasible? ”
"Nope."
The Holy Crow glanced back at Qi Lin and said calmly: "This control hub, only you can operate. ”
"Why?" Qi Lin wondered.
"Because only you can gather the power of mad fire."
The holy crow retracted his gaze and continued to raise his head to enjoy the warm sunbathing, basking in the sun as he opened his mouth to explain: "That control hub is used to control the blood pool seal, so do you think that the blood demon lord will arrange a seal for Joshua that he knows?"
Of course not.
The Blood Pool Seal arranged by the Blood Demon Lord was a seal structure that Joshua had never seen before, so the control hub that matched it was naturally a strange version that Joshua had never seen, and he didn't know how to operate normally at all.
But as I said before, Joshua was a genius.
During the long years he had been sealed, he had cracked the control hub from another angle.
Although he still didn't understand how this control hub operated, he tampered with some of the rune circuits of the control hub, just like he tampered with the rune gate of the Blood Pool Temple, and recreated another control method, that is, the mad fire operation method.
To put it simply, this "Crazy Fire Operation Method" is to first condense a 'Crazy Fire Heart' in the body, and then touch the control hub with your fingers to operate. ”
"If you can't condense this in your body, what kind of mad heart can't be operated?" Qi Lin was surprised.
"Yes, it can't." The Raven nodded, "If you don't follow Joshua's "Mad Fire Operation Method", then no matter how much you touch the Control Hub, you won't be able to operate it, because the Control Hub will not react to your touch. ”
"Then can't I help others gather the heart of madness?" Qi Lin asked again, "Just like last night, you had to help me erase the mad fire seed from my body, and then you said 'if you want to erase the mad fire seed, you still have to cast a spell based on the mad fire', and you didn't have a mad fire, so you borrowed a ball of mad fire from me...... So, since this kind of 'borrowing fire' operation works, can I use a similar method to help others gather a heart of madness? ”
"It's not the same thing at all."
The Holy Crow shook his head lightly and replied: "My act of borrowing fire last night was just to use your mad fire to make the flames I spew out have a trace of mad fire characteristics, which is essentially a transformation of flames, which is not the same spell casting principle as the "Mad Fire Operation Method" at all.
The basic principle of the Mad Fire Operation Method is to transform the caster's physical body through the heart of Mad Fire, which is essentially a transformation of people.
Because the rune circuits that control the hub have been tampered with by Joshua, the flesh transformed by the heart of madness can use these tampered rune circuits to resonate and connect with the control hub, so as to operate the control hub.
Then the key lies in this 'body transformed by the heart of madness'.
However, the problem is that the Heart of Mad Fire is a kind of energy core condensed from Mad Fire, which is equivalent to a high concentration of compressed Mad Fire.
This high concentration of compressed mad fire, but if it is contaminated to the slightest bit, it will cause extremely serious damage to the body and soul, and only the condenser of the mad fire can avoid being injured, so theoretically speaking, the only body that can be successfully transformed by the heart of madness is the condenser of the heart of madness himself.
As for outsiders?
It can't be transformed at all.
The consequence of outsiders being touched by this high concentration of compressed madness is that the body and soul are burned at the same time, and as a result, they will only be seriously injured and even die, but will not be transformed in the slightest.
So, in this case, a fact is obvious.
namely
Whoever condenses the heart of madness, who can resonate with the control hub, can't be handed over to outsiders at all. ”
The Crow shook his head slightly.
"Hmmm......"
Qi Lin thought for a while, and then asked, "Can't I control this mad heart?" Can't I control it and hurt outsiders? ”
"Maybe." The Raven glanced at him, "You can study and try, but let me warn you, even Joshua has not succeeded in researching this, and do you think that your attainments in the "Mad Fire Technique" are even better than Joshua, the founder of Mad Fire?" ”
“……”
Qi Lin was speechless.
"Alright, don't think about that anymore."
The Holy Crow said lightly, "There is nothing to say about my plan, if you want to follow my plan, then you have to be prepared for the destruction of the body and the soul...... But don't you have a plan of your own? I hope your plan will succeed, anyway, I just want Joshua to be completely gone, I just want this result, as for what the process is, I don't care. ”
"Okay."
Qi Lin stood up from the stone chair and looked at the Holy Crow with a serious expression, "Then, Patriarch Ketulu, I'm ready to learn the condensation method of this 'Heart of Madness', please teach me." ”
"Huh?"
When the crow heard this, he was immediately surprised, "What do you mean?" Have you changed your mind? It's going to be my plan again? ”
