Chapter 226: The Ritual of the Elves
This series of events after Gawain's arrival made Heine more and more firm in his guesses.
Beyond the mountains of McCalalla, transcendent energies are tainted with a common will.
This is very similar to Linum's study of blight.
Compared to the extraordinary energy of the mountains of Maikala, they all seem to be polluted.
As a result, the fifth-level powerhouses who were born there and lived there would all be disturbed by this will.
The same is true of Gawain.
The holy light on his body was completely indistinguishable from the one on the gas canister.
The reason why the two behave differently is a personal factor.
The personal will of those six Holy Cult forces was worn out by the long battles on the ashes front.
They became war machines dominated by the will of the Light.
Gawain, on the other hand, has a clear mind and a strong will, so he can maintain himself while disobeying the Light.
- Perhaps this disobedience is the core of self-preservation.
Of course, once he is confronted with a strong stimulus, he may not be able to maintain himself.
The wounds on the sheep are proof of this.
Such an unstable and troublesome guy naturally could not be brought into the mountains immediately.
Although this place can block the sight of the gods, the will of the Holy Light bound to Gawain's soul cannot be ruled out.
Let's take an inappropriate example.
The will of the Holy Light is the Emperor, and Gawain is the General.
Then the Holy Light Will bound to his soul is a supervising eunuch who fully implements the emperor's will, and is the emperor's eyeliner.
Although the Holy Light in the High Stature usually obeys his own orders, in the face of great rights and wrongs, such as Heine, he jumped out and said:
"Your god of light is a spicy chicken!"
No matter what Gawain thinks, his military power will be taken away by the eunuchs in an instant, and then he will command the army to fight Heine to the death.
Unable to deal with the Overseer's eunuchs, Heine could only think of slowly replacing this group of die-hard soldiers.
So you can only take it slowly like changing blood.
This has already been practiced in the case of Linumu.
When the wood elf tree herder first arrived in the mountains of McCala, he felt a strong sense of "awkwardness" for Heine.
But as he stayed here for a long time, that feeling had faded a lot.
Maybe the only way to eradicate it is by cutting it out of the soul like Barry Sr. did.
But he can't do that until the means are ripe.
So Heine temporarily placed Gawain in a stronghold west of the Withered Scarf.
He asked Bedwell and the restored sheep catcher to accompany him, but told them to talk less about doctrine and more about life.
He himself returned to the Green Leaf Court with Jianglu.
There are some things that I want to talk to the other person about.
…
In what was once Silverwing's office, the decorations and stylish-looking furniture were gone.
In its place were old sofas, and baskets woven of vines on tables and in the corners of walls.
The main one is hard and simple.
Stacks of papers lay inside, and those who didn't know thought it was a printing room.
"I didn't know you were having such a hard time?"
Heine looked around and quipped.
There was only one chair left in the room.
On the way here, Jianglu had already finished saying all the words of thanks, and now she just rolled her eyes when she heard him joking, and sat back at the table.
"You just stand and talk, anyway, they usually look for me to stand and talk and leave."
Heine smiled, not paying attention.
"Anyway, your sister's name is Dailin, right?" He asked.
Jianglu raised her head in surprise: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Heine: "She's probably still alive. ”
"What?" Jianglu was stunned for a moment, and then stood up excitedly.
"Where is she? Did you find her in the Blight? ”
"Don't worry, sit down and listen."
Heine then told the story of "The Adventures of Deline" in its entirety.
From the moment her soul is captured by the soul fog of the withered scars, it is said that the act of killing her sister by Janglu herself has met the needs of some kind of "ritual", so Dailin's consciousness is attached to the withered dagger from the soul.
Then he mentions the Gray Moon again.
It was she who captured Dailin's consciousness with her self-taught necromancer talent, and later subconsciously used the "flesh and blood remodeling ritual" to allow Dailin to be "reborn" on that dagger.
Her brow furrowed and furrowed, and finally looked at Heine suspiciously.
So she ...... Reborn? ”
"Yes, so to speak. Based on the blood of the Gray Moon, she was really reborn, although her body was illusory, but it was not a soul body in the ordinary sense, because the latter was generally not observable by the naked eye, but she could appear in front of everyone. ”
"Then she can't leave that dagger?"
"For now, that's the case."
"Why?"
"How could I possibly know that?" Heine spread his hands: "Didn't you notice, the variable in this matter is the 'ritual' you inadvertently triggered, I would love to know what happened when you stabbed her to death, is this a tradition of the elves?" ”
Dailin's resurrection from the dead makes that past no longer full of pain, so Janglu recalls it seriously.
She quickly shook her head.
"Nothing out of the ordinary...... Are you sure there was something wrong with that? ”
"Sure." Heine nodded: "As far as the information I have, magic weapons must be dominated by souls, and the magic weapon manufacturers of Villitas can already process mage souls in batches, and elves are my second research object.
"You seem to be in possession of a 'sacrifice' method that can be used to rob the consciousness of the transcendent and imprint it on equipment. For example, the Wind of Sighs, their entire family may be tied to equipment.
"So I need you to help me gather some information on this, the whereabouts of those legendary equipment with great origins, and the stories behind them."
Janglu nodded with a serious face.
But she was suddenly stunned.
- The purpose of this guy...... Is it really just for research?
When she looked up, she saw that Heine's eyes were sincere, not fake.
"Any questions?" Heine asked.
"Nothing."
- Is it really that I am thinking too much?
Janglu couldn't help but mutter.
"By the way, isn't there any news from Gray Moon yet?" Heine asked.
Coincidentally, this "eldest sister" took her own wooden teardrops on the front foot to mourn the wood valley to receive the award, and the magic net on the back foot had an accident.
So she was completely unheard from.
Heine had always hoped that the elves' own way of communicating would work, so he often asked about it.
Jan Lu shook her head.
"The three forests are now full of strange beasts and chasms, and it is difficult for the messenger to move an inch. The proximity of the Green Leaf Court to the mountains of Maikala was already calculated, but communication could not be restored. ”
She noticed this too.
The farther away from the mountains, the denser the distribution of fissures and strange beasts.
These monsters are much more difficult to deal with than blighted beasts.
Especially the place that relies on the magic net has become the nest of strange beasts.
Not only on the ground, but also in the sky.
This makes it impossible for elves, who rely heavily on flying monsters to communicate in their traditional ways.
The three forests seem to have returned overnight to the ancient times when the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and they only met once in a few years.
"Then I can only wish her good luck."
Heine sighed.
He chatted a few more words, and was about to leave, when he was suddenly stopped.
"That one of yours...... Where are the skeletons? ”
"Who?"
"You call him Natsu."
"He's on the Zanro Plateau."
Jiang Lu looked disappointed.
Heine smiled, "The next time he comes back, I'll ask him to come to you with that dagger." ”
Jianglu's expression suddenly became cramped.
"Can... Can you not let him come, and just bring the dagger here? ”
Heine: "That's not going to work, he has a part of the credit for this, and you have to thank him." ”
“…… All right. ”
……
……
At the same time, near Twilight Bay in the southwest corner of the Mourning Wood Forest.
A group of elves is being besieged by an overwhelming array of strange beasts.
The configuration of this group of elves is rather strange.
Except for the female night elves who looked like regular soldiers, the others were all half-grown children.
But it is such a group of children who are inseparable from strange beasts.
Bang!
A white bone fire flew from nowhere, crashing straight into a strange beast.
It was instantly burned to ashes by the flames.
More strange beasts crossed the ashes, and went one after another, even contaminating it.
But in the next second, these ashes exploded one after another!
The flames of Senbai bloomed one by one, and more and more strange beasts were ignited, burned out, and then spread.
In the blink of an eye, most of the strange beasts were killed and wounded, and they scrambled to flee.
"Saved, big sister!"
An elven girl said excitedly.
"Don't worry, Lani."
Gray Moon pulled the girl back and stood in front of her.
She stared intently at the mist in front of her.
A thin middle-aged elf in a black robe slowly walked out of it.
Behind him, there was a row of undead souls with swaying soul fire.
