Chapter 428 "Magic Doll"
——[Memory operation].
As the name suggests, this is magic that can control an individual's memory.
This magic can browse, erase or even modify the memory of the target, in order to achieve the purpose of collecting intelligence or creating false information. It is among the best among all intelligence magic, ranking tenth level of powerful magic.
However, this magic has a flaw, that is, it consumes a lot of magic power.
[Present Break], which is also at the tenth level, is also a magic that consumes a lot of magic power, and the magic power consumption of [Memory Operation] is even higher than [Present Break]. In the world of the King of the Undead, even For a max-level player like Ainz, whose magic power is astonishingly huge, once he uses this magic, his magic power will be exhausted in a very short period of time.
Therefore, even Ainz rarely uses this magic because it is not cost-effective. If you only pursue the efficiency of gathering intelligence, there are many more convenient intelligence magics.
Even if Li Ge possesses the highest level of "Spiritual Healing" ability, which can automatically restore lost mental power at an astonishing speed, if he uses this magic, he may experience the first time when his magic power is exhausted and his mental power is exhausted. Experience, because the speed of recovery cannot keep up with the speed of consumption.
But compared to others, Li Ge can definitely last longer.
Therefore, in order to find out the origins of these unintentional people, Li Ge decided to use this magic to peek into the memories of the unintentional people.
Therefore, Li Ge let his consciousness go deep into the memory field of the Heartless Man along with the activated magic.
What surprised Li Ge was that the memory of this unintentional person was surprisingly small. In terms of quantity, it was probably only equivalent to a few years.
"This guy only has memories of the past few years?"
Li Ge frowned at this, but he still browsed through these memories and opened them all.
If it were anyone else, Li Ge wouldn't dare to be so rough.
Memory is a very fragile field. If the means of intervening in this fragile field are not delicate enough, it is not surprising that it will have any impact on the owner who holds this memory.
If one person fails, Li Ge may damage other people's brains, causing other people's memory and even cognitive abilities to suffer from errors.
But the target is such a weird person who intends to kill himself, or even attack the people around him, so Li Ge will naturally not care about the other person's life and death.
Therefore, in order to save time and magic power, Li Ge forcefully opened his memory regardless of the consequences of this unintentional person.
Thanks to this, Li Ge successfully read the memory of this unintentional person.
The first memory he read was the day when this person was born.
At that time, the unintentional man seemed to be lying in a dark place. Before he could even open his eyes, two voices rang in his ears.
"It seems it was successful this time."
"Well, after destroying so many people, I finally succeeded in one."
"This efficiency is really not very high. Can't we think of ways to improve the success rate?"
"Be content. One magic doll of this quality can entangle a sword master. It is absolutely a miracle that it can be produced in large quantities like this. If these big countries know about it, they will definitely not hesitate to do so. You have to pay any price to get this technology.”
"...Maybe it's destiny that this technology falls into our hands, right?"
"I just want to use modern magic technology to reproduce this technology. Unfortunately, after trying for so long, I still can't see any hope."
"Since even you can't reproduce this technology, then probably no one in the world can do it, right?"
"...There is still one."
"Oh? Is that the one you're talking about?"
"snort……"
"Okay, no matter what, you are the only one among us who can use this technology to create a magic doll. We will help you collect the materials. You just need to concentrate on producing the doll."
"I don't care, as long as I can decipher the precious knowledge left by these ancient magical civilizations, I can do anything."
"I know, it's precisely because of this that we believe you..."
The conversation ends here.
He may have fallen into a coma later, and for a long time, the memory of this unintentional person was blank.
When the unintentional man regained consciousness, he had already arrived at an unknown place, where he met many of his own kind.
Then, the boring life of the careless begins.
They don't need to eat or sleep. Just like real dolls, they don't even feel tired. There are not as many miscellaneous thoughts in their consciousness as humans, only the instinct of action as if they were born with them. This action instinct drives them to obey someone's orders and do things according to that person's orders.
The Wuxinless people don't know who this person is, and they have never even seen him face to face. However, if the other party has an order, the content of the order will naturally appear in the minds of the Wuxinless people.
When there is no order, they will hide in the mountains, hide in the forest, or even bury themselves in the soil and sleep there.
They do not have the common sense of human society in their memories. If they need to master certain aspects of information for a mission, this information will naturally appear in their minds.
Like this time, the order these unintentional people received was to eradicate Li Ge, and then information about Li Ge's appearance, strength, location, etc. poured into their minds, allowing them to take action immediately.
During this operation, they also received two instructions.
One was to get those chains from a fellow creature.
One is to go to a place, meet up with the Holy Beast who exists there, enter the body of the Holy Beast, and wait for the opportunity.
Li Ge saw the same kind of person. The other person had the same stiff, deathly face as these unintentional ones, but other than that, he had no other characteristics.
Li Ge also saw the so-called Holy Beast Master, but what he saw was just a huge black shadow suddenly appearing at the feet of the unintentional people, and then, these unintentional people appeared in the cave.
Memory ends here.
"…………"
Li Ge silently moved his hand away from the head of the unintentional person in front of him.
At this time, the unintentional person had fallen into a sluggish state, like a vegetative state.
Li Ge's rough method of reading memories still had an impact on this unintentional person.
Li Ge ignored this and murmured.
"Magic doll...?"
Sure enough, these weird guys without hearts are not human beings, but puppets.
Moreover, from the conversation between the two voices heard when the Heartless One was born, it can be known that the technology for making these magic dolls was handed down from ancient magic civilization, because this technology fell into the hands of those people In their hands, those talents took advantage of this technology and began to manufacture such magical dolls on a large scale.
However, this kind of magic doll cannot be made casually.
First of all, there is only one person who can use the technology of this ancient magic civilization to make magic dolls, even among the main messengers behind the scenes.
Secondly, it is not easy to make a magic doll successfully.
Finally, making this kind of magic doll requires a lot of people.
"Then the clues will come out."
Li Ge understood.
The reason why so many people are missing in the Mapros Territory is because those who have mastered the technology of making magic dolls need living people as materials.
They acquired a large number of strangers either by cooperating with local powerful people or by completing tasks through other channels.
All this is to make a magic doll, a kind of combat power that can even entangle a sword master.
Li Ge made such speculations, and read the memories of the other three unintentional people...that is, the magic dolls, and finally confirmed these guesses.
The problem is that………
"Who are those people?"
"What do they want to do by making so many powerful ancient magic dolls?"
"They said I would get in their way. Does that mean they don't want me to get involved?"
This is really interesting.
"It's a pity that we couldn't get any information about that cold energy. There is no information about this cold energy in the memories of these magic dolls."
In the memories of these magic dolls, they only know that this cold energy is innate and can be used for many purposes. It can put others into a state similar to paralysis like it did with Liz before. Being unable to move can also have various effects on the human body. Once touched by this energy, even the sword master will be entangled and severely weakened.
Li Ge's feeling before was right. Generally speaking, Level 7 people may be killed by these magic dolls at first sight. As long as they don't understand this cold energy and are infected by this energy, it is very possible. I will hate myself in front of these magic dolls.
In addition, whether the ferocious claw-like weapons used by these magic dolls or the chains filled with cold energy, these things are called holy objects in their memories.
Especially those chains, which seem to be high-level weapons in this so-called holy object. At first, these magic dolls did not have them at all, and the other magic dolls must have been the same, until these magic dolls received After taking on the task of eradicating Li Ge, they got these holy objects as help from the main messenger behind the scenes.
"Are these holy objects also made from the technology left behind by ancient magical civilization?"
This is the only explanation.
Otherwise, if there was such a weapon-making technology in modern magic civilization that would make Li Gedu, a sword master, feel instinctively wary, this technology would definitely have become famous throughout the Akasha continent.
"Holy beast..."
Li Ge raised his eyes and looked at this cave.
Not long after, Li Ge flew towards the other side of the cave, leaving only the remains of a few magic dolls and the corpses of numerous beetle monsters around, proving that this place had once been uneasy.
