Chapter 863 The start of the raid(1/2)
The realm of all spirits.
In this gray world, the majestic black iron bridge is the most eye-catching sight. On both sides of the bridge, at every other end, stands a huge iron statue. They are all upright sculptures of the same human form.
60 meters tall, wearing a hooded robe, not showing his face, with two pale flames dancing in the eye sockets, embodying two completely opposite artistic conceptions of silent eternity and gorgeous splendor at the same time, like the god of death who judges the dead, and like a god who guides the soul.
lighthouse.
On the bridge, under the silent gaze of the statue, an Assyrian boy walked stiffly towards the other end of the bridge. His expression was numb, his eyes were empty, and his bare chest was smeared with blue paint, which was the color that represented the identity of the sacrifice.
.Besides him, there were many Assyrians in different costumes staggering forward in the same direction.
Bertina flapped her butterfly wings and flew quickly over the bridge. She shouted loudly, "Look back quickly, turn back quickly, you will die if you go forward!"
These Assyrians continued to move forward as if they had not heard anything. Bertina was anxious, so she swooped down and dragged the Assyrian boy with a green face. She was very strong, and the boy with empty eyes was dragged
Moving backwards, but more Assyrians are steadfastly continuing to advance.
As they approached the other side of the bridge, the color on their bodies continued to fade, turning into a grayish look like the surrounding environment, and finally turned into dust and dissipated in the never-ending air current.
Bertina let go of the Assyrian boy and turned to rescue the others, but the Assyrian boy stepped onto the iron bridge again.
"It's useless, they're already dead."
Queen Ant-Man stood at the end of the iron-cast bridge, watching Bertina repeatedly do futile things. She only found it funny and funny, and couldn't help but persuade her: "Bell, you're wasting your time on meaningless things.
, it’s better to build that spell model. I can feel that you don’t have much time left..."
Bertina shouted, flew to a stop in front of the Ant-Man Queen, and said angrily: "You ask them to stop, and I will learn that spell model."
Queen Ant-Man raised her flawless white forelimbs, tapped the ground lightly, shook her head and said, "I can't do it."
Bell flew around the Queen and asked excitedly: "Why can't you do it? Aren't you the master of Soul-Eating Island? Aren't you able to transform these poor souls?"
Queen Ant-Man sighed helplessly and explained again: "How many times have I told you, no one can transcend the laws of the world. This iron bridge is the embodiment of the laws of the world, and it is the law that simulates the return of the soul to the void. The soul
It begins in the void and returns to the void. The so-called void refers to the sea of fire elements. After a person dies, the will first dissipates and the soul fire gradually extinguishes. This is only a superficial understanding. In fact, the soul fire has not been extinguished. When the will
After the side dissipates, the soul fire loses its restraint and begins to dissipate, showing its essence of void fire element. If the scattered soul fire encounters certain fragments of will, it will form a fragile ghost. Therefore, the Assyrian witch doctor can see the spirit
The existence of ancestral spirits, animal spirits, or natural spirits, according to you humans, are called ghosts. The imprint of the will of powerful creatures is very strong and is not so easy to disintegrate. Their ghosts last longer, but ghosts are ghosts, souls
It's a soul, and the two are not the same thing. Just like the ghost of the furbolg elder you captured was shaped into a powerful guardian spirit..."
"It's called the Sugar Bowl!" cried Bertina.
Queen Ant-Man followed Bell's wishes and said: "Okay... Sugar Bowl is not the original furbolg elder. The original furbolg elder is dead. You can complete its will according to your own preferences and knowledge.
The Guardian Spirit Sugar Bowl."
"Ah? I am so powerful." Bertina raised her delicate and cute round face, put her hands on her waist, and said proudly.
"The soul cannot last forever, and the soul fire will eventually return to the sea of fire elements." Queen Ant-Man continued: "You are the chosen one. Your witchcraft talent is related to the law of the soul. Creating a guardian spirit is as simple and natural as breathing air, but you
The principles of the laws are not understood. The sugar bowl cannot escape the fate of extinction. Its existence depends entirely on the realm of all spirits providing it with ectoplasm, and ectoplasm is pure soul fire, coming from these Assyrian souls."
"This iron bridge obliterates the will of Assyrian souls, stripping away their memories, emotions, and cognitions, leaving only pure soul fire. Assyrian souls passing through the bridge are just like the process of souls returning to the origin of the world, and the Soul-Eating Island symbolizes fire.
The elemental sea represents the destination of soul fire." Ant-Man Queen Chun Chun taught: "We cannot transcend the limitations of the laws of the world, we can only comply with the laws and borrow the power of the laws. Just like water will always flow to the lower place, you sprinkle the water
No matter how high you rise, it will still fall. So do these Assyrian souls..."
Ant-Man Queen raised her left hand and pointed at an Assyrian soul near Soul-Eating Island, turning it into a ball of pale flame, pulling it over out of thin air, and said: "The only thing I can do is collect soul fire, according to the unchangeable rules.
, shaping them into the soul of the ant tribe.”
The pale soul fire burned and danced on the Ant-Man Queen's fingertips, gradually shrinking and turning fiery red. The Ant-Man Queen casually extinguished the soul fire in her hand, letting it turn into dust and land on the ground of Soul-Eating Island, "Now
, shaping the souls of the ant tribe is an unbearable burden for me, and it is meaningless for the poor Assyrian souls. Bell, my student, if you have mercy on these souls, then destroy this iron bridge that represents the return of the soul.
Bar."
"Can this save them?" Bell blinked his big clear eyes and asked expectantly.
"No." Ant-Man Queen gave a negative answer, and then said: "But you can break away from the shackles of the Realm of All Spirits, return to the real world, and stop the Assyrian war."
Ant-Man Queen cast her sights on the Assyrian soul on the iron bridge, wrinkled her forehead, and said: "In a normal blood sacrifice, the soul of the sacrifice will only fall next to the Pale Holy Lord and be transformed and absorbed by him...
This is no different from walking to Soul-Eating Island. But during this period, Assyrian souls kept appearing near the iron bridge, indicating that the Assyrians were experiencing a cruel war. If someone died outside, there would be souls appearing here. Part 1
Thousands of Assyrian souls were attracted to the Soul-Eating Island, and more souls may have been devoured by the Pale Lord."
Bertina waved her white and tender little fists and said angrily: "The Pale Lord is a big bad guy! I have wanted to get out for a long time..." As she said that, she flapped her wings and flew to the Ant-Man Queen.
Concernedly asked: "Angelina, what will you do? After I leave, no one will talk to you, will you be afraid?"
The Ant-Man Queen, who has lived for more than 20,000 years, has a heart like a bottomless abyss. To her, Bertina's tender care is like a stone thrown into the abyss, unable to evoke the slightest echo. But she still smiled and said: "Little guy,
Isn't it contradictory that you pity the Assyrian soul and you pity me? Don't worry, I'm used to loneliness... It's just that this last iron bridge is broken, and the source of power that maintains Soul-Eating Island is also broken.
I will eventually fall, but that will be thousands of years later... Bertina, I must remind you that due to the outbreak of war among the Assyrians, the Pale Lord will soon fall into eternal sleep. He will
According to the rules of the eternal sleep of the Holy Spirit, a will that does not belong to you is imposed on your soul. This contains precious ancestral spirit inheritance and is also a distortion and reshaping of you. Are you willing to accept the Pale Lord's distortion of your soul?
Soul?"
"I hate ancestral spirits, they are so ugly, and I don't want to become like them." Bertina quickly shook her head, wrinkled her nose, and said with a look of disgust.
The Ant-Man Queen nodded with satisfaction and said: "The soul becomes ugly due to pollution. We must prevent such a thing from happening to ourselves. However, this is not up to you... As long as you are in the realm of all spirits, the inherited will of the Pale Lord
It will definitely affect your soul. However, I have an advanced spell model that can help you accept the inheritance without being polluted. Its name is very simple, called 'Spirit Shell', but the content of the spell model is very complicated. With your natural choice
It will also take several days to master the qualifications of the practitioner..."
Just as he was talking, the Pale Lord's low roar came from across the bridge. The sound seemed to come from the bottom of a person's heart, and Bertina couldn't help but shudder.
Queen Ant-Man glanced towards the other side of the bridge, then looked away and said to Bell: "The Pale Lord is about to sleep forever. Do you want to learn the 'Spirit Shell' model?"
Bertina was obviously frightened by the roar of the Pale Lord, and she shouted: "I will learn!"
***************************
In the main room on the upper floor of the temple, the ferocious and poisonous piranha vines bloom with the most beautiful flowers and bear the sweetest fruits. Hundreds of cute and smart flower fairies dance and play among the green vines. In their midst
Decorated with decoration, the stone hall is like a fairyland in a dream.
Fimornu and others saw the natural realm in the main room for the first time, and everyone was full of praise. The object of their praise was Bertina, and no one mentioned the Pale Holy Lord anymore.
"Great Witch Doctor Tumen, our family has gathered together a batch of slave sacrifices, and immediately sacrificed them to All Souls All Saints to help Queen Bertina tear apart the Realm of All Souls. This period is very critical, and we will protect the Queen.
By your side, to welcome her return, there will be no need for others to come in. What do you think?" said the great witch doctor Femornu.
In addition to the warrior leader Bucklock and the young son of the old king, Femornu brought in 4 ancestral witch doctors and 7 Assyrian warriors, representing the 8 most powerful aristocratic families in the upper city and belonging to the core members of the royal party.
It is actually not accurate to say that they are still loyal to the dead King Mokomo, but they have always been a noble family cloaked in the royal party.
The Snake Eyes Guards loyal to King Mokomo have been destroyed by the witch doctor group led by the Queen. However, the witch doctor class, which has been suppressed by the royal power for a long time, has not been able to become the mainstream force in the upper city in the short term. Those deep-rooted old powerful families are against
The poor people in the lower city and the dozens of settlements outside the city still retain a profound influence. Harinadak tried to weaken their influence by dividing, wooing, and suppressing some of the old powerful people and replacing them.
These eight Assyrian noble families were closest to Mokomo and were targeted by Queen Harinadak.
They were afraid of Harina Dak's magic power and did not dare to confront her head-on, but it was their common choice to unite with the great witch doctor Tumen and seek political power.
Tumen knew very well that these people had no good intentions towards him. He was besieged by the witch doctors of the ancestral spirit sect, and these old guys headed by Fei Moru were the loudest. They wanted to kill Harina Dake.
His eyes shifted to Tumen.
If Harinadak is the leader of the witch doctor group, then Tumen is the well-deserved deputy leader. If the deputy leader becomes the target of criticism, their pressure will of course be much less.
However, Tumen admitted that he was too poor compared to these old kings and dignitaries. Even if Harinadak allocated some property to him, it could not be compared with the family wealth of Femornu. Therefore, he went out to look for the Fountain of Youth.
, with only dozens of slave soldiers around him, Xinu could easily take away more than 100 well-trained slave hunters. Although Xinu's family was rich, it was not as good as these old powerful families.
In Assyrian society, wealth represents strength. The wealth held by the eight old powerful families is enviable. No wonder Harinadak would exclude them, but she did not dare to act rashly.
The Pale Holy Lord falls into eternal sleep, Queen Bertina wakes up, and everything will change. Harinadak has mastered the power of the Realm of All Souls through the queen, and she has nothing to worry about. The eight powerful families can no longer wait and ask for help.
Queen Bertina's approach is the best way out.
The "others" in Feimolnu's mouth refer to Priest Harinadak. Tumen knew their plan well, nodded and asked: "What is the current situation of the remnants of the Snake Eyes Guard?"
Several Assyrian witch doctors and warriors first made eye contact, and one of the warriors stood up and said: "Several descendants of the old king have joined the remnants of the Snake Eyes Guard, a total of more than 500 people, and they are gathering the refugees outside the city.
Slaves. I estimate they can muster an army of more than 2,000 people."
The Snake Eyes Guards, plus the private soldiers of eight powerful families, can definitely subvert the military power of the main city of Assyria. What's more, Queen Harinadak has brought her main force and the undead trolls to settle in Zero Wolf outside the city.
Point. Even if the other aristocratic families in the upper city united, they would not be able to resist this force.
Tumen glanced at the warrior leader and said coldly: "As expected, you are secretly protecting the Snake Eyes Guards, and I'm afraid you also provided a lot of weapons and vine armor."
Fermornu pushed the timid little prince in front of him and said sternly: "Great Witch Doctor Tumen, as long as the little prince becomes a slave by the queen's side, the problem of the Snake Eyes Guards can be solved... In addition, the queen is about to tear her apart.
In the Realm of Splitting All Souls, the fountain of youth is likely to erupt in the temple. However, the children of the old king and the Snake Eyes Guards do not interfere with the fountain of youth here. They have already shown their attitude of obeying the queen. I think there is no need to
All the Snake Eyes Guards were killed."
Tumen did not comment, but asked instead: "Where are the savage sacrifices that escaped?"
Fimornu misunderstood Tumen's meaning, was startled, and said in a deep voice: "The old king's henchmen let go of the savage sacrifices to create chaos... More than 2,000 savage sacrifices fled into the forest outside the city, waiting for the queen to wake up.
The great witch doctor Tumen will be the chief priest, and we will send slave soldiers to capture the savages and give them to you as property."
Obviously, the eight powerful families had no connection with the Great Witch Doctor Imerson. Tumen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately communicated with the natural spirit of the flower fairy. The calm piranha vines were flying like angry pythons.
To be continued...
