Chapter 1265 Holy Beast
"The holy beast corresponding to the holy seal of regeneration is called Hydera, which is easy to guess."
"The word Hydra used to refer to 'Hydra' in ancient times, but now it refers specifically to 'Hydra'. From this, it can be seen that the eighth holy beast is probably a 'Mythical Hydra'."
"The holy beast corresponding to the bat-winged seal is an absurd creature with the characteristics of a lion, a goat, and a giant dragon. It is obviously a 'mythical Chimera'."
"As for the last human face seal, the corresponding holy beast is named 'Sphinx', with a human head and lion body, eagle wings and a python tail. It is also easy to guess that it is a mythical sphinx."
Joan carefully took down Sir Custis' conjecture, and then asked a question about his own safety.
"My lord, what should I do to prevent the holy seal from evolving into the ultimate holy beast?"
The reason for raising this question is simple: he hasn't lived enough, and he doesn't want to be drained of flesh and blood by the holy seal one day, devouring his soul, and growing an evil monster from his corpse, and now he must try to prevent this tragic ending.
"In the first three stages of the Holy Seal, it is relatively easy to control. Spells such as 'Counter Evil' or 'Stable Mind' can effectively suppress the Holy Seal."
"If you want to completely remove the holy seal from yourself, it will be difficult. Before the holy seal evolves to an advanced stage, you can also use the 'miracle technique', 'wish technique' or 'psychic surgery' to remove it , once it evolves to an advanced stage, none of these methods will work, and I'm afraid it can only be removed with the help of legendary spells."
"When the holy seal evolves to the final stage and becomes a mythical monster, it will have an independent will. If the host tries to remove it from his body, he will be backlashed by the holy seal and cannot protect himself."
"But on the other hand, before the holy seal evolves to its final form, it doesn't have much negative impact on the host, but the benefits are even greater."
Joan heard the hint from Sir Custis, and asked for advice on how to prevent the Holy Seal from evolving into its final form.
"Joan, have you heard the story of Dr. Faust and the great devil Mephisto?"
Sir Custis used a popular folk tale as an illustration.
"The devil signs a contract with a person to help the other person realize their wish, and the reward is to obtain the soul of the other person after death."
"The Holy Seal is like a devil's contract."
"My child, when you are at the crossroads of your life and facing difficult choices, the holy seal will activate on its own, pulsating like a heart, instigating you to choose a choice that goes against your reason and conscience, but at the same time can make you feel happy, An option that is profitable or satisfies some immoral desire."
"If you succumb to the instigation of the Holy Seal and make choices that conform to its wishes over and over again, you will gradually drift away on the path of the evolution of the Holy Seal. In the end, when you find that you have awakened the power of mythology, this The road is about to come to an end."
"Conversely, if you have extraordinary courage and a strong will, you will not be instigated by the Holy Seal and make choices with free will, even if you don't always deviate from the options that the Holy Seal prefers, you will not become a puppet of the Holy Seal .”
Joan listened silently to Sir Custis's advice, and touched the back of her neck subconsciously, remembering that she had a fierce conflict with a leprechaun who was teasing her when she was leaving home to study.
Although the leprechaun has repeatedly claimed that it was just a joke with him, a prank, but after being teased, he could not show a noble sense of humor like a real gentleman. Pain the killer!
Looking back now, Joan still remembers the scene of killing the leprechaun.
When he stabbed the dagger fiercely into the opponent's heart, the strange eyeball on the back of the neck suddenly became hot and beat like a heart, as if telling him to kill well and kill happily!
Not only that, at that time, the Holy Seal of Different Eyes was still trying to convey such a belief to Joan:
In the future, when you encounter suspicious guys, you should preemptively strike, no matter the other party is really malicious, or just want to make a harmless joke, kill the other party-even if you kill innocent people by mistake, it is better than being humiliated yourself!
At that time, Joan restrained his instinctive impulse and refused to accept the instigation of the Holy Seal of Different Eyes. After that, the same situation happened several times.
The Holy Seal of Different Eyes seems to have been trying to instill such a belief in Joan-I would rather let the world down than the world down on me.
Fortunately, at least so far, Joan has not been able to agree with this concept, and he does not plan to follow the instigation of the Holy Seal of the Different Eye in the future.
Just as Joan was preoccupied, Sir Custis changed the subject.
"About the holy seal, that's all for today, Joan, in the future you have to be more careful about the people who have the holy seal, they are all the descendants of the 'Mother of Monsters' Ekadna, and most of them stand against us position."
Joan nodded and took down his instructions, and then asked him for advice: "My lord, what do you think of the 'Brotherhood of Our Lady'? This seems to be a semi-public Echidna church."
"The Brotherhood of Our Lady is indeed a sect that worships the 'Mother of Monsters', but not all those who worship the Mother of Monsters belong to this sect."
"In short, don't get too close to these cultists, it won't do you any good."
"Of course, you don't have to worry too much. At least as far as the Midgard region is concerned, as long as I live in this world, these cultists will not dare to blatantly mess around. If they trouble you in private, child, remember to tell me I'll write, and I'll help you out of trouble."
"Thank you for your attention, sir, I have one last question, I don't know if I should ask it." Joan looked a little embarrassed.
"If you want to ask anything, just ask, and I will answer as honestly as possible."
Sir Custis' gentle smile gave Joan the courage to raise the question that had been on his mind for a long time in as gentle a tone as possible.
"You keep your name incognito. You haven't appeared in the public eye for more than ten years, and you don't even dare to contact your family. Are you worried that your relatives and friends will be retaliated by the followers of the Holy Mother?"
"There are factors like this, but I have made arrangements in advance, and the safety of Martha and Rebecca is still guaranteed."
"I have cut off contact with my family all these years. I am ashamed to say that it is difficult for me to explain the real reason."
Ser Custis sighed, guilt in his eyes.
"Perhaps out of inferiority complex and fear, I don't want my children to see me as old and sick, and worry about scaring them. At the same time, I also worry that my 'Different Hair Seal' will get out of control and hurt my children, just like the original I once lost control of my emotions for a while, causing the Saint Seal to go crazy and hurt Martha and Rebecca's mother..."
