Hoover, who was willing to become a butcher and executioner to restore the glorious past created by the ancient wizards, made Raymond understand the power of this obsession in his heart, and was able to guess the consequences of this obsession!
Belief is the basis of will and behavior, and it is the unity of individual motivation and goals with their overall long-term goals. It can stimulate the individual's potential energy, physical strength, intelligence and other abilities to achieve behavioral ambitions corresponding to basic needs, desires and beliefs.
And obsession is an attitude, a proof of personal existence, and the only standard for personal judgment of good and evil!
When obsession is too much, resentment will arise, and individuals without obsession will have no standards!
The standard for measuring good and evil or right and wrong is in the subconscious of every wizard and is difficult to describe, but it is the bottom line that every wizard has.
Generally speaking, unless they are paranoid or wizards with serious mental problems, they will ignore the universal rules and act completely based on their own likes and dislikes.
Human wizards have always been regarded as the backbone of the neutral camp. Even if they occasionally act in a way that leans towards the chaotic camp, they will still adhere to their "neutral" attitude.
And those human wizards who lean too much towards the chaotic evil camp will generally be regarded as abandoning the foundation of their human wizards, and will generally no longer be accepted and recognized by human wizards!
So when the girl Becky quietly asked Raymond to observe a team next to the altar in the cave, Raymond finally discovered the phenomenon he least wanted to see!
Gray cloak, black wizard robe. Except for the lack of the standard magic wand in their hands, the more than 100 wizards who stayed on the left side of the altar. Although their bodies were not covered by the dark mist, and the exposed skin was intactly covered on their bodies, their dry and wrinkled appearance showed that they had actually been refined into shadow guards!
Next to this team, the corpses of the legion wizards piled up randomly also made Raymond understand that this was not because Hoover was going to take these corpses back for burial, but that they had already regarded these corpses as materials for refining, and they were piled there to be sent back for processing!
Yes, processing!
Hoover, who looked serious and could even be called extremely "pious", said "refining" as "processing" when explaining, but it was obvious that in his concept, these dead legion wizards were no longer his subordinates, nor were they human wizards who needed to be respected, but just like the magic beasts he needed to collect for the mission, they were just a kind of raw material that could be "processed"!
It is not unacceptable to hunt and kill magic beasts to obtain resources and materials, or even to raise magic beasts to increase their reproduction speed.
But if even his own kind or even subordinates are regarded as raw materials waiting to be processed after they die, then Raymond will never accept it, whether from a reasonable or rational point of view!
Hoover, who saw Raymond had not spoken and was looking around the altar below, was trying his best to persuade him.
Because the person in front of him was obviously a human wizard. And the luster of his protective force field was similar to those of the legion leaders in the Monbia Legion. In addition, the news sent back from the front line showed that this person had a real body as high as ten meters, so his strength must be above the Dawn level!
So for Hoover, who considered himself a firm supporter of the Supreme Council's plane invasion action, he firmly believed that the combat power that a high-level wizard with a real body could form was far greater than these processed puppets!
"My Lord, even if you have some dissatisfaction with the Supreme Council, the plane invasion operation currently being carried out by the Supreme Council represents the future of the plane, the highest interests of the human wizard community, and everyone's expectations for the glory and splendor of the past..."
With an earnest expression and a sincere tone, if he didn't know how these Shadow Guards were made, perhaps Raymond would approve of Hoover because of his attitude.
But Raymond, who had seen the Shadow Guard refining site in the fairy plane many years ago, was very clear about the cruelty and bloodiness of the Shadow Guard refining methods, so the more he listened, the angrier he became!
It's not clear why he is so convinced that the plane invasion will be successful, nor why he has the method to refine the Shadow Guard, but the difference in concepts makes Raymond unable to listen any more!
"That's enough! No more high-sounding and tempting descriptions, no need to explain to me the psychological guilt you feel for this, and don't tell me about the huge price you paid for this! Because I know as well as you do how these Shadow Guards were made! I also clearly understand that the bottom line of some things has been eliminated by the Supreme Council! In your philosophy, the glorious future portrayed by the Supreme Council is enough to make you use the so-called "justice" to poison the entire plane and make the entire plane a gamble! But I can't accept it!"
Hearing these words, Hoover, who was standing close to the force field barrier, showed deep pity in his expression. He slowly shook his head and sighed, and said in a helpless and desolate voice. "You really misunderstood...restoring the glory and splendor created by the ancient wizards is a noble and great cause that requires everyone to work hard, fight for, and sacrifice for it! I will not allow you to use such a I will not allow you to hinder the realization of your dream... so I withdraw my previous promise to you because your existential wisdom has become a drag..."
The voice became lower and lower, and the regret and compassion in his tone made Raymond feel confused for a moment, but when the last word 'drag' came into his mind, his left thumb actually exploded with a pop!
The thumb that disappeared completely as if it had fallen into a crusher did not cause him any pain, but the blood mist mixed with blood, skin fragments, and bone residue immediately turned into a huge... The black and purple blood worms in his mouth plunged into the wound on his left hand like lightning!
Raymond felt the blood worms that had penetrated into his palms squirming rapidly. He couldn't help but be shocked. He wanted to drive away the blood worms that had penetrated into his palms!
But what puzzled him was that the bloodworm that had penetrated from the wound at the base of his thumb seemed to be able to sense his thoughts. In vain, it completely merged with his palm and could no longer be found by him!
Raymond had never encountered such a strange injury before, so after realizing something was wrong, he suddenly pounced on it!
But before he could get closer, Hoover, whose face had only been exposed before, smiled strangely, and exploded completely with a bang, turning into a black smoke and quickly blending into the air, actually getting rid of the previous lock!
And Hoover's very pitiful voice also became erratic. "It's sad. Although I may not be able to kill you, as long as everything that hinders the glory of the plane can be eliminated, I will be happy even if I die here..."
But at this moment, Raymond, who was rushing towards Hoover, hit the force field barrier hard. He felt a soft but extremely strong rebound force suddenly increase, and then he was bounced. fly.
But the one-eyed sand man Saliman, who had been guarding him all the time, began to freeze as if he had been poured water on him. The yellow sand on the surface of his body condensed into lumps and then cracked. There was actually something in the pupils of his eyes. All that's left is confusion!
Raymond, who didn't know what happened, suddenly appeared next to the one-eyed sand man Saliman and wanted to wake it up, but just when his fingers were about to touch the body of the one-eyed sand man Saliman , Raymond, whose ears hurt, heard the girl Becky’s urgent cry. "Don't touch it! This is the most vicious blood curse. You are in big trouble!"
