Chapter 1072 The New Seven Deadly Sins
Chapter 1072 New Seven Deadly Sins
The bronze sword box was separated from the left and right walls amidst the sound of machinery, just like a beautiful peacock opening its tail in the biological world. But what was exposed in the light was not the beautiful colorful feathers, but the Seven swords with completely different shapes. The black-gold blade showed various patterns of ice threads, pine needles, flowing clouds, and flames under the light. The chilling cold breath instantly filled the entire attic, and the warm mist on the black tea was also approaching. freezing point.
The dragon patterns on the dragon chanting sword box are constantly lingering and flowing, and the seven dreamy swords are quietly inserted in the sword box, bathing the eyes of the few people around the round table who are holding their breath. Except for Lin Nian and the principal and deputy principal, this was the first time for Lu Mingfei and others to observe this art-like weapon up close. It felt like they were visiting a cold weapons museum. All kinds of murderous weapons in history were gathered in this bronze museum. In the box, under the light, the glow overflows.
"Those who are familiar with them are familiar with them, and those who are unfamiliar with them have also heard their legends." The vice-principal gently chewed his bleeding thumb to stop the bleeding, "But Lin Nian must be very kind to them, right? After all, this set of swords was first used in In the Kuimen Project, you found it in Baidi City with Ye Sheng and Ya Ji, the diving specialists of the execution department."
"Alchemy Sword·Seven Deadly Sins." Lin Nian nodded.
"Each sword has a different dragon inscription on it. The dragon text cannot be deciphered, but inferring from ancient Hebrew, it should be the name of each sword. And these names are translated into Latin as 'Superbia' - Arrogance (arrogance) 'Avaritia' - Greed (greed, greedy desire) 'Luxuria' - Lust (indulgent desire, sexual desire) 'Invidia' - Jealousy (jealousy, envy) 'Gula' - Gluttony (gluttony, gluttony) Gluttony) 'Ira'-wrath (anger, rage) 'Acedia'-sloth (laziness, sloth, ennui)'."
"The 'Seven Deadly Sins' in Christianity?" Caesar raised his eyes.
"It is unclear what the actual source of the seven deadly sins is. The earliest origins of the seven deadly sins can be traced back to some stories and moral teachings in the Christian Bible, such as the stories of the fall of mankind, heaven and hell described in the Old and New Testaments. and early Christian moral reflections on human behavior and mentality. It was first proposed as a list, probably in the 4th century AD, by the monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed eight "evil thoughts" or "worries" , including envy, greed, lust, anger, gluttony, pride and sloth, by the Middle Ages these annoyances were formally integrated into a list of the seven deadly sins and became part of Christian moral teaching.”
As a history teacher, Angers held a bone china cup and gave a brief evening lesson to the students.
"The person who built him is the King of Bronze and Fire. Judging from the history of the four kings, maybe they had a share in the writing of the Old Testament, or there may be some disasters and disasters in the Bible. The purpose of the divine revelation is to record the various actions they have left on this land." The vice-principal turned his hands behind his back and circled the sword box on the table that was full of cold light and filled with murderous aura. "All the swords in the Seven Deadly Sins are made of recycled metal. It seems to be made of the same material, but each handle has different rigidity and toughness. It can easily tear through the armor of the next generation of dragons and above without curling the blade, and chop into their tough bone cages."
"But what we have in front of us now should be all imitations." Lin Nian said, "The real seven deadly sins have been forged through the alchemy matrix into the prison of the King of Bronze and Fire."
"Yes." The vice-principal nodded, "As a replica, its material still comes from the Seven Deadly Sins themselves. We used the most advanced materials science to analyze the metal composition of the 'Bronze Purgatory', and then removed the appropriate parts through laser cutting. The raw materials were processed into 'gold-titanium alloy' and secretly transported to the orthodox, using the ancient craftsmanship they inherited to re-forge the swords we have in front of us now."
"This secret and great project is codenamed 'The Sword of Snatmo'. Since the raw materials come from the 'Bronze Purgatory', the weapon forging craftsmen give priority to restoring their original appearance to the 'Seven Deadly Sins'. In the process of imitation "We are gradually becoming familiar with the potential of 'gold-titanium alloys' that have not yet been fully exploited."
The principal put his left hand across his chest and held the elbow of his right hand, curled his fingers against his chin, and stared at the dreamy combination of swords under the light, "This batch of weapons is the 'test product' we sent to the orthodox request. Compared with the original version of the Seven Deadly Sins, it may have lost some of its original 'nature', but it has been given something brand new due to re-forging. As for what heights they can reach now, no one knows."
"Lin Nian, I remember you used the original version of them for a period of time?" Caesar looked at Lin Nian. Whether it was the Battle of Constantine or the Battle of Norton, Lin Nian was carrying the original Seven Deadly Sins Box to his full glory. , during that period of time, he was almost the Jinchūriki of the Seven Deadly Sins. Looking at the entire secret party, he was the only one who could play with that set of things.
"Well, it is indeed an unforgettable experience." Lin Nian nodded slightly, "Compared to swords, I would rather use living 'dragon teeth' to describe the feeling they brought to me. Every sword in the original version There are living beings in the swords, and they only retain the most primitive desires, the bloodthirst for blood. As soon as you get started, these guys will urge you to see the red, and those who are not determined will even be inspired to kill. The will accelerates the degeneration into Deadpool."
"After all, it was a weapon forged by the Dragon King himself. We speculate that the purpose of the creation of the Seven Deadly Sins was to kill each other among the Dragon Kings, so they sacrificed quite violent living spirits into it to assist the user." Anger nodded.
"Do dragon kings also kill each other? Aren't they all Nidhogg's half-brothers?" Fingel wondered.
"There is indeed an inexplicable bond between dragon kings, but if we insist on using family ties to define a civilization like the dragon clan, it seems that we humans are too arrogant. Many archaeologists have inferred in classics, A long time ago, there was a war between the dragon kings. The purpose was unknown and the motivation was unknown. But this war did exist. The process was cruel and terrifying. These seven weapons corresponded to the weaknesses of the seven brothers. This is exactly what we have today. It is consistent with the view that the four kings using the successful argument are all twins," Angers said.
"There is a theory." Lin Nian said, "The dragon kings represented by the four kings are not absolutely perfect creatures. They fight each other because they want to devour each other's genes and evolve."
"Nothing in this world is perfect." Chu Zihang said.
"No, there is one thing that may be perfect." The vice-principal mentioned, "If according to Lin Nian, they themselves are incomplete, but they also advocate perfection, and put it into action, not hesitate to kill each other, this means that They have a very precise definition of 'perfect' itself. In other words, there are already things in this world that they consider 'perfect'."
"Nidhogg? The legendary black dragon that brought the end of the world." Caesar gently covered his chin, "Even creatures like the four kings can be created by him, so he is the perfect one. It is not unacceptable for living things to be defined.”
"Perhaps it was because he was too perfect that even his descendants were afraid of him, so they put aside their grudges and worked together to bury him." Lin Nian said slowly, "In the era of the dragon clan, a perfect creature was among them. In their eyes, isn't it because of the 'dragons' we saw? So they want to be enemies with Nidhogg at all costs, want to kill their creator, and then become the new master of this land."
"But they failed. Human beings, who had been underestimated by them, stood on the world stage and successfully buried the dragons and their creator in history." Chu Zihang said, "I feel these historical processes There are some striking similarities.”
"History itself is a spiral. The arc and trajectory of each crease are so amazing. It repeats endlessly. If Lin Nian's argument is accurate, the dragons killed them in order to become the new masters of the world. The creator of the dragon, aren't the hybrids following the former example now, trying their best to kill the dragons and replace them with the dragons?" Caesar said lightly.
"There is nothing new under the sun." Lin Nian shook his head.
"Okay." Ange gave a light high-five and made a crisp sound, "The discussion on whether hybrids will follow the old path of the dragon race ends here. After all, looking at it now, our chances of winning in the Dragon King-level mission are not very good. In the past, perhaps we could gain an advantage through advanced weapons and ancient alchemical weapons. But this time is different. The enemy is lurking in the dark, and we are in the light. And the conditions are quite restrictive. Maybe we should focus on the present. Instead of worrying too much about the future.”
"I remember that the original Seven Deadly Sins require a certain bloodline advantage to be recognized by the alchemy sword in the box. From 'Lust' to 'Rage', the required bloodline advantages go up in a straight line, like an exquisite bloodline test. There is no need to go through complicated modeling calculations like Norma, you just need to hold them tightly, and they can determine whether you are qualified to use this set of swords." Lin Nian stood at the table and reached out to touch the Dragon Sword Box. Box body.
Just when his fingers were about to touch the cold bronze texture, the 'dragon pattern' wandering on the side of the sword box suddenly accelerated and seemed to bite him hard!
Lin Nian withdrew his finger, and the active 'dragon pattern' resumed swimming at a slow and even speed and disappeared from his sight.
"The 'Snartmore Sword Project' refers to the design of the Seven Deadly Sins. The main reason why the Seven Deadly Sins can be tested for blood is the living spirit attached to the sword. The ancient living beings may have been pure-blooded dragons during their lifetime. They The sensitivity to bloodline is not comparable to that of modern instruments. Therefore, when Orthodoxy created this set of 'Snartmo's Sword·Seven Deadly Sins', it also used similar soul-sacrifice technology to incorporate living spirits into it - this technology It is a secret among secrets, and even we have no way of finding out how they did it, and in what form the living spirit itself was preserved by them." The principal stood at the edge of the chandelier's light, carefully observing Long Yin. The patterns and shapes of the seven alchemical swords in the sword box.
"Does this mean that this set of imitation seven deadly sins still retains the effect of the blood test?" Caesar was very interested in this interesting-sounding mechanism. The Gattuso family pursues the education of the strong, and Caesar Although he hated some of his family's ways, some things were still engraved in his bones from the beginning.
"At least judging from the 'instruction manual' dictated by the orthodox side, this is indeed the case. The Dragon Sword Box itself is a large alchemical item. The alchemical matrix inside limits the living beings in the sword. These living beings are now in a In a semi-silent state, users need to use their own bloodline advantages to awaken them." The vice-principal explained carefully, "But the orthodox side also mentioned that the refining techniques and ideas of this set of 'Seven Deadly Sins' are different from those of the original version. The set of alchemy swords is very different, so in terms of determining whether the user is qualified based on blood, it will be very different from the original Seven Deadly Sins."
"Since it's a blood test, how can it be different? Does it have to be divided into blood types?" Fingel on the chair raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "Unfortunately, I have blood type B, not the universal O type or the rare RH. Blood type. A magical weapon that can only be pulled out with panda blood. It sounds like this setting is quite interesting."
"It doesn't depend on blood type." The principal shook his head.
"It can't be based on the horoscope." Caesar joked, with a little humor, "I hope he doesn't hate Sagittarius men."
"If you want to hate them, you should hate Virgos, right?" Lu Mingfei joked, "Nowadays, girls seem to be very superstitious about zodiac signs. They think Virgo boys have mysophobia, perfectionism, and fault-finding."
"In a sense, Lu Mingfei is right." The vice-principal nodded in approval.
".Ah?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded again. This was the third time he said "Ah" today.
"Phaseality." The vice-principal said lightly, "This set of swords pays more attention to compatibility based on the bloodline advantage. The orthodox 'Tianji Pavilion' referred to the characteristics of the Seven Deadly Sins themselves when reforging this set of alchemical weapons. Since the Seven Deadly Sins The name of each weapon corresponds to the evil root of the dragon king he will kill, so they simply kept this idea and selected the appropriate 'living spirit' to sacrifice into the sword."
"With absolute blood superiority, individuals who are particularly favored by these 'living beings' who possess the essential characteristics of weapons can have the opportunity to use them as they wish! Angry people are more likely to be recognized by 'furious'; not thinking The enterprising person is favored by laziness; the dissatisfied person wants more from greed, and so on.”
"I'll go and look at the zodiac signs," Lu Mingfei said blankly.
"That's it. If you look at your physiognomy, Junior Brother, you will definitely be recognized by Lust." Fingel subconsciously looked at Lu Mingfei and said.
Lu Mingfei was humiliated in public and immediately fought back, "Then you are more suitable for being a 'taotie'! You have to show off the whole family every night!"
"Then according to what you said, Brother Caesar has to get rid of 'arrogance'?" Fingel maliciously brought the war to others. He was quite curious about how Chu Zihang and Lin Nian dealt with the Seven Deadly Sins respectively. Which one is more sinful.
"So the original purpose of this set of alchemical swords is to distribute them reasonably?" Lin Nian looked at the vice principal and asked, "You are going to split this set of weapons."
"If it were the original Seven Deadly Sins, the seven swords could build an unimaginable dragon-slaying alchemy matrix when they resonated with each other. You have also used it in extreme situations where Kassel Academy was the battlefield. But it is a pity that Our current technology has not reached the level that can restore the peak of alchemy skills, which is the miraculous power of the Dragon King. Therefore, whether the new seven deadly sins need to be combined is no longer a problem. In the hands of one person, it is better to split him into the hands of more people who are suitable for them." Angers nodded and said, "This will also be the key to your victory on the dragon-slaying battlefield in China."
"Before we discuss who is more suitable for which weapon, I have to explain something in advance." The vice-principal poured cold water on them at the right time. "This set of swords are still experimental products, so there are bound to be some hidden dangers when using them."
"What's the worst that can happen with these weapons?" Caesar asked directly.
"Death." The vice principal said, "Direct death, no excess, you won't even have the chance to degenerate into Deadpool."
The scene fell silent immediately, and everyone was waiting for the vice principal to continue speaking.
"The living soul infusion technology of the 'Sword of Snartmore' is not perfect." The vice-principal said calmly, "These living souls boarded by the 'Seven Deadly Sins' are unconscious. Under the orthodox description, although they still maintain They have the form of living beings, but they do not have the ability to think independently. They are left with extremely amplified instincts. If you want to drive these "living beings" to fight for themselves and fully exert the power of these swords, you need to Suppress the extreme instincts of these 'living spirits' and replace the 'living spirit' thoughts with the sword wielder's own will."
The vice-principal said slowly, "To help you understand in more abstract terms, the hybrid holding the sword needs to use its own spirituality and will as the reins to tightly tie it to the fierce horse and angry dragon that only retains its bloodthirsty instinct. Replace your living thoughts with your own will, and wear your soul to sacrifice the sword!"
"Be specific," Caesar said.
"The moment you hold any one of these seven swords, once you pass the 'living spirit' approval, 'scale teeth' will bloom on the handle and pierce into your blood vessels. From this moment on, you will The sword continues to draw a large amount of fresh blood. If you want to avoid death from rapid blood loss, you need to find other blood in a short time to satisfy the sword's appetite, and then they will stop drawing your own blood." The vice principal said, " This is one of them.”
"Is this just one of them?" The corners of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, and there was repulsion in his eyes when he saw these graceful swords.
"When you use a sword, the 'living spirit' will resonate with your own spirit. In scientific terms, it will give you continuous high-intensity psychological suggestion and hypnosis. Each sword's The impact of 'Rage' on the user is different. According to the closed test, these types of mental pollution are basically related to the inherent properties of the sword itself." The vice-principal said, "'Rage' can cause hundreds or thousands of people to times of anger, 'greed' will make people have endless desires, and 'gluttony' will trigger some pica episodes in people, such as suddenly feeling that companions with blood advantages around them are delicious."
Fingel quietly moved the chair under his butt, trying to get further away from the seven swords in the sword box on the table.
"Are these the side effects?" Chu Zihang looked at the vice principal.
Lu Mingfei was shocked. Is that all he thought? President Chu, your indifferent tone and expression are as easy as reading about the side effects of cold medicine when mentioning these life-threatening things!
Not like the cowardly classmate Lu Mingfei, who had not slept well before and was about to take some alprazolam tablets obtained from Masashi Toyama, but he accidentally discovered the side effects column: "May reduce white blood cells." "Sheng" was scared to death.
"That's all for now. There may be other side effects, but the orthodox side urgently stopped the test for some reasons. Probably because there are not enough white mice, right? After all, they don't even know the specific mental pollution caused by each sword. The effect has not been fully tested." The vice-principal shrugged.
"What do you mean, there are not enough guinea pigs! What you said is very concerning!" Fingel squirmed uneasily, with panic written all over his face. He was even more afraid of death than Lu Mingfei.
"Don't worry, the 'Snatmo Seven Deadly Sins' you are looking at now is already a semi-finished product after countless failures. Logically speaking, the side effects won't be as terrible as they were during the closed test." The vice-principal said with a smile. Comfort, and his words had no effect at all.
Caesar still looked at these dangerous toys with amusement, even the instructions for use were unclear, "It feels like visiting a voodoo toy store unique to Southeast Asia, so we will probably all have to pick up a handful tonight, and pack them with us." Are you going to China?"
"Or then no one can take away even a sword? In addition to the blood advantage, compatibility is the most important thing in this new set of seven deadly sins. The blood advantage only gives you the power to draw the sword. Whether you can pull it out depends on Seeing the liveliness inside, he nodded instinctively." Ange said with a faint smile.
This old guy is on fire! Lu Mingfei and Fingel looked at each other and said basically the same thing in their hearts.
"Okay, then who comes first?" The vice-principal raised his eyebrows, pulled out his chair to create a large space, and looked at the people standing in front of the table.
Lu Mingfei took a step back.
But he thought about it and quietly pushed Fingel forward, who was still tied to the chair.
"Who the hell is touching my chair?" Fingel was shocked. He turned around and saw Lu Mingfei, who was turning his head to pretend to be innocent. He never thought that there could be someone around him who was more shameless and fearful of death than himself! Sure enough, in the area of shameless learning, the apprentice can sell the master immediately if he changes hands!
"Okay! Fingel, you have the courage! You are indeed the student I value!" The vice-principal didn't care about the love and killing among so many students. He walked up behind Fingel with a face full of shock and anger, and clapped his hands heavily on On the shoulders of this "volunteered" hero, with his horrified expression, he was pushed to the seven alchemical swords unfolded in the Dragon Sword Box.
