One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-Eight Disciples of the Lustful Witch
In Echidna's cemetery, in the depths of the trial chamber, there is a heavy door.
This door stands in the middle of the wall, somewhat inconspicuous, but now that the trial will no longer unfold, and the witch miasma in the cemetery has dissipated with the passing of all the trials, that door is very clear into the eyes of those who enter.
Behind the door is another tomb.
The overall size of the tomb is slightly smaller than that between the trials, and the scope is not very large. If it is a luxurious big bed in the Roswaal mansion, there can only be two beds at most here, and then there will be no room to stand. up.
However, in the depths of such a room, there is a transparent coffin.
On the coffin, a faint magic power has been fluctuating.
Obviously, it was processed from the same magic ore crystal as the body that sealed Ryuzu-Bilma, and even in terms of purity, it was much higher than that.
The quality of such a high-purity magic ore is probably even higher than the crystal stone that Emilia used as Parker's possession before.
The magic ore, which is enough to seal existences higher than big elves like Parker, now only has a woman lying in it.
Looking at this woman, Beatrice has completely held her breath.
The hand has unconsciously stretched out towards the direction of the crystal coffin, and while touching it lightly with fingertips, it is still trembling slightly.
Then, Beatrice awakened softly with a voice that seemed to be crying.
"Mother…"
Besides Echidna, who else was called by Beatrice like that?
The woman lying in the crystal coffin was obviously Echidna.
More precisely, it should be said that it was Echidna's body during her lifetime.
Therefore, she didn't show signs of breathing, nor could she feel the existence of any vitality.
However, even so, Echidna, who was lying in the crystal coffin, seemed to just fall asleep, as if time had stopped at her most beautiful moment, sleeping quietly.
The snow-like long hair was white and shiny, and spread under the bottom of the coffin.
A black dress with no variegated colors seems to be tailor-made,
Exudes a mysterious charm.
A beautiful woman drawn only in black and white.
Even for Fang Li, it can be considered familiar.
However, the difference is that, unlike Echidna in the dream, the appearance of Echidna lying in the crystal coffin seems to be older.
Echidna in the dream looked like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
As for Echidna in the coffin, she looked like a mature woman in her twenties.
Therefore, even if a young girl like Beatrice, who looks only twelve or thirteen years old, is called her mother, it will not make people feel outrageous at all.
Even if this mother is very young.
Even though it has been four hundred years since the two finally met again.
Beside Beatrice, Roswaal also stroked the surface of the crystal coffin with trembling hands.
"...It's still as beautiful as before, teacher."
----"teacher".
Roswaal gave this title to the lust witch who had been dead for four hundred years.
What is revealed in the eyes is not only the longing for the respected teacher, but also the tenderness like looking at the sweetheart that can make people melt.
However, whether it was Roswaal's address to Echidna, or the infinite emotion in her eyes, Beatrice was shocked and woke up.
"You... what did you call mother just now?"
Beatrice was completely taken aback.
He was so shocked that he even opened his eyes wide.
Unfortunately, Roswaal didn't even look at Beatrice, and continued to caress the surface of the crystal coffin.
The words spoken, but only one sentence.
"Qing doesn't seem surprised at all."
This sentence is naturally what the other party said.
Fang Li, who had been standing silently by the side, just quietly looked at Echidna in the crystal coffin, and only replied faintly to Roswaal's question.
"There's nothing surprising. The attitude you showed before has already explained a lot of things, but it's impossible for others to think of it."
After Fang Li just came to the "Sanctuary" and came to Echidna's cemetery, and found out the fact that Echidna's soul was still alive, Roswaal's behavior was not at all like his past self , appearing both agitated and agitated.
This alone can indeed explain many things.
Because, for Roswaal, except for his long-cherished wish object, no one can make him have such mood swings.
In order to resurrect his teacher, Roswaal seemed to have fallen into a demon, using the Gospel as his life indicator, living like a puppet and a clown. Under such circumstances, except for things related to his teacher, What else could have made him like that?
Therefore, it is already obvious that Roswaal has a relationship with Echidna.
It's just that others can't think of this.
After all, Echidna died four hundred years ago. Even if there was a disciple, unless that disciple was a long-lived species, such as an elf or a half-elf, how could it be possible for her to live for more than four hundred years?
"However, if you are someone who knows the inside story, you won't think so."
Fang Li was still staring at the crystal coffin, only the sound was ringing.
"Miss Liuzi once said that Echidna is researching the method of immortality, that is to inject her soul into the clone of Liuzi, and then achieve indirect immortality."
And this research, even if it is not completed, should have left a lot of research materials.
If Echidna really had a disciple, then it is not impossible for that disciple to inherit this research material.
"That is to say, Echidna, the witch of lust, once had a talented disciple four hundred years ago, but because of her own death, that disciple fell into a crazy obsession. In order to revive her teacher, not only Using the copy of the book of wisdom, the Gospel, as an indicator, in order to achieve this goal one day, I used the soul transcription technology left by my teacher during his lifetime to give me time."
Fang Li revealed Roswaal's biggest secret.
"That technology should have been to transfer the soul to the empty container, and carry on the inheritance of consciousness and memory, so as to achieve subjective immortality."
However, the soul and the container actually have compatibility and affinity.
If the affinity between the container and the soul itself is not high, then the transcription cannot be completed at all.
In view of this, Echidna chose to transcribe the soul with a clone with no personality and a relatively strong receptivity, instead of the main body of Luzi-Bilma, avoiding the conflicts and conflicts caused by the soul and the body itself. messy results.
But Roswaal, who inherited that technology, chose another path.
That is to reproduce and produce offspring.
If it is an heir with his own blood, then the problem of affinity can be solved.
Although it's not an empty container, if it's just a baby, it won't cause too much conflict if it's transcribed before the personality and consciousness are formed.
In other words...
"The disciple of Echidna, the witch of lust, is still alive in this world. By constantly transferring his soul to the bodies of his descendants, he has paved a way to realize his own wish. A long and endless road of thorns."
Fang Li declared so.
"It is under such circumstances that the Mezzas family has developed to this day."
