Chapter 174: Think about it
ββ¦β¦ Anyway, she didn't know why she was resurrected. β
Gray Moon finally concluded.
She looked at the young man in front of her expectantly, always feeling that the answer would be in the other party.
Heine looked at her with interest.
"You're actually gifted as a necromancer."
"What?"
"I said before that you have special abilities for two reasons. The first is that you have been using the Blighted Bow for a long time without being affected by it, and the second is that you can actually detect the subtle changes in the life force of the withered creatures when they are drained of their vitality, which is not possible for ordinary tree herders. β
Gray Moon suddenly showed an offended look.
"But can't your skeleton use that dagger too? Besides, what does the perception of life force have to do with necromancers? This is clearly a talent for the shepherd! β
Heine smiled: "First, my skeleton itself is an undead creature, and it also has a high shadow affinity, so it is naturally not afraid of the power of withering.
"Second, what is life force? It's the opposite of dead air. These two are inherently interdependent, so the Dharma is of the same origin, don't you think summoning a tree and summoning the undead are very similar? β
"You are blasphemy, blasphemy against elves."
Gray Moon is very resolute:
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Okay, then I'll ask a different question. What color do you see it and what she is? β
He pointed to the silver man-eating flower resting on the ground, and the silver Kaena on his shoulder.
"Silver." Gray Moon replied.
"What about Dailin?"
"She's different from them, she's translucent......"
"She's not like the green geist summoned by the necromancer, is she?"
Gray Moon nodded.
Heine: "Although I have never seen her soul body in this state, I can tell you unequivocally that any magic equipment above level 5, if it appears with a self-aware soul, will also be like her. β
Gray Moon frowned and said, "What do you mean...... This dagger has now become a level 5 magic weapon? β
"So to speak."
ββ¦β¦ How is this possible? Isn't there a living soul on every piece of magical equipment? β
"It's great that you think so, you've heard of the Bow of Sighs, right?"
"Of course, there's no one Elf Hunter who hasn't heard of it."
Heine: "Katie Demitislia, a member of the House of the Winds of Sighs, you probably know her too.
"According to my guess, when the Sigh Wind family returns to the Mourning Valley with Querkus, a piece of ancestral wood root, the end result is that the family is neatly equipped.
"In the case of that featherβwhisperingβMiss Katie told me herself, though she had always had a hard time, but she had also witnessed many battles, just like Miss Dailene's vague memory.
In other words, it carries a soul - that's the characteristic of magical equipment. The mages of the Villass have an entire industrial chain to mass-produce these, but you are different.
"The magic equipment of the elves comes from the sacrifices of the strong, and according to my guess and the current situation of the elves, either the craftsmanship has mostly been lost, or you have not mastered the rules...... And there is a coincidence in front of you. β
He looked back at Dailene.
"She was parasitized by the Queen of Thorns and became one of their kind, but she retained her sanity, which is why she was freed by Janglu's own hands......
"This process meets the requirements for the birth of a magical weapon, and her soul should have been transferred to the dagger with all the blood, but due to the peculiarity of the Blight Scarf, it is only partially completed."
Gray Moon's eyes flickered.
Just like when she faced the secret of the shapeshifters, she was also stunned by Heine's series of fierce materials.
The elves' magic weapons were indeed few and precious, as he said.
Moreover, it is true that every piece of equipment is closely related to the past of a certain person or family.
It's tempting to say it's a conspiracy theory, but it sounds so plausible......
"And then?" She couldn't help but ask.
Heine continued: "The so-called 'part' is only the transfer of consciousness, which is equivalent to planting a seed, and you should observe the whole process from germination to blossoming, right? β
Gray Moon nodded with difficulty.
But then she wondered, "But why do you need my blood in the end?" β
"Because it's essentially a necromancy, it's called the 'Flesh Reshaping Ritual.'"
Heine sighed slightly.
The last time this spell was mentioned was on the night I returned to the boneyard.
It was this spell that Hunter Gittier used to harm Dean Garray.
"Offering flesh or bones to the legendary skinned twins in exchange for the rebirth of one, you have unwittingly completed the ritual.
"The soul cannot be looked at directly, an embodiment like Dailin needs a carrier, and the drop of blood you give is the total weight of her current body, light and fluttering like a feather."
The evidence is ironclad.
Gray Moon looked at Dailin in a daze, and then looked down at her hand.
Am I really a necromancer?
She couldn't argue, because there was indeed a hint of intimacy coming from Dailin.
Now that I think about it, it had to do with my own blood.
"But I'm not really a necromancer......"
Gray Moon muttered.
She couldn't accept the result, it was like someone had poured a lot of feces on her.
She felt dirty.
Heine sneered, "I don't understand where your 'power purity' comes from, you can even accept the power of the Withered Bow, but you resist the name 'necromancer' like this. β
He suddenly understood Barry Githil.
The old man couldn't find the words to describe the atmosphere of this era, he already felt it faintly.
The "believers" of every power carry a strong sense of exclusivity and pursue absolute purity.
The result is a situation in which the four countries are closed off, lack communication, and become increasingly paranoid.
No wonder the Master was able to go ahead of everyone.
The Grey Moon was still in a daze, and Heine had already stood up from the cannibal flower.
He patted the flower on the head.
"Can you understand me? Nod your head when you understand. β
It nodded violently.
Great, smarter than Kaena.
Heine continued: "Take me to your 'kind', remember, don't jump too high this time, don't be afraid, with me, those skeletons can't do anything to you." β
The man-eater was impressed, then grabbed him and Gray Moon and strode into the mist.
β¦
On the way, Dailene suddenly floated out and stared at Heine curiously:
"What exactly is the peculiarity of the 'Blighted Scarf'? I've been here for so long, why haven't I heard of any of this stuff? Also, are you really a necromancer? β
Heine sighed.
But if the Cuiye Court asked the people of the Githil family at that time to study the traces of withering, it would not rot like it is today.
"I'm really a necromancer."
He said, "You were already a parasitic soul at that time, which is equivalent to being branded and a part of this place. If nothing else, even if you die, the soul will come back here. β
Dailene looked thoughtfully at the silver man-eating flower and Kaena.
"Just like them?"
"Yes."
"But why are they silver?"
Seeing that the gray moon was also listening with her ears crossed, Heine was secretly amused in her heart.
This is the standard category of soulology, and if you listen to it, you will really be a necromancer.
"Let's put it this way, my teacher divides the soul into two parts, consciousness and soul matter, the latter is the main component of the soul, the carrier and the base of consciousness.
"The withered creatures are marked, and those who come back here are consciousness. This mist is like a pot of boiling soul stock, which continues to tumble and provide soul essence for the returning consciousness.
"That's the peculiarity of the Blight Scars, and the reason why the Blighted creatures can't be killed, they always regenerate in the fog.
"But for some reason your consciousness ran to that dagger, and then the soul remodeling was done in the withered dagger's repeated kills and plundering.
"In other words, the 'raw materials' you use to reshape them are different."
Gray Moon finally couldn't help but ask:
"You...... Can you see those floating silver dots of light too? β
"Huh?"
Heine was really shocked this time:
"You can even see this?"
