Chapter 383 Little Bat and Veela

Ash thought Valkas had something to tell him, but he didn't expect to be asked back. However, Ash did have a lot of information he wanted to know: "Start after your death?"

Varkas didn't seem to have any thoughts of keeping it secret, and said calmly: "After being killed by the Titan Executioner, my soul left my body and fell downwards under the pull of gravity."

"It's like sinking into the deep sea, floating and falling unconsciously. But there are filters in the deep sea. When the soul flows into the filter, many impurities will be filtered out, and then my soul can continue to fall. After six layers of filters , I came to the Time Continent, constantly rolling up and down, without even the birth of self-awareness."

"But 72 hours after death, a drop of blood in my soul began to explode and spread, binding me and activating my consciousness at the same time."

Varkas opened his black robe, revealing the blood lotus on his collarbone.

For some reason, this blood lotus didn't feel like a tattoo to Ash. Instead, it seemed like it was blooming from inside the body. Harvey had introduced him to it many times... corpse spots.

"Then I became the Gravekeeper Commander of the Blood Tomb."

Ash blinked: "Wait a minute, where did that drop of blood in your soul come from? Why is there blood in your soul?"

"I don't know, I just know that this drop of blood should have been implanted in Broken Lake Prison. In other words, all the redeemed people who died in the Blood Moon Trial must have blood seeds in their souls."

Varkas said: "After I became the commander, I also understood the mystery. After we, the Blood Moon death row prisoners, die for more than seventy-two hours, the blood will erupt in our souls. If we are found With the talent of commander, the blood type directly activates our consciousness and makes us become the gravekeeper commander."

She paused: "All gravekeepers are born this way."

Commander’s screening mechanism!

Ash immediately understood the intention of the Lord of the Blood Moon - the Blood Moon Trial was not only a cathartic show for the people, a guillotine to deter criminals, but also an interview site for the Lord of the Blood Moon!

In fact, Ash had also discussed with Sword Girl and the others before how the God Lord selected the commander he needed. After all, there are two-winged magicians dying every day, so it is impossible for the God Lord to test it himself. Moreover, according to Yaxiu and the others' guess, the birth of the commander will probably consume a certain amount of resources, and it is impossible to storm the army. Otherwise, the Time Continent would have been blocked by the Heroic Soul Commanders. The subway line has changed.

Therefore, the God Lord must develop an efficient screening mechanism to obtain a commander who can grow up with as little time and investment as possible. At that time, Ash and the others believed that the most likely way for the God Lord was to use the miracles of the prophecy faction to directly select projections of magicians with commander potential.

It's normal for magicians not to predict factions, but it's impossible for the God Lord to not know it, right?

But I don’t know whether he didn’t know how to predict the factions or found that it was more effective. The Blood Moon Extreme Master used a wonderful screening method-Blood Moon Trial!

The threshold for entering the Blood Moon Trial is actually very high. After all, a redeemed person who can be voted for execution by the people does not qualify just by killing a few people. He or she must at least stand on the opposite side of the vast majority of people. For example, a cult leader like Asher, who is full of evil, Or a high-ranking conspirator like Fei Nanxue, and these people are the most likely group to have commander talents.

As long as you plant blood seeds on them during the Blood Moon Trial, after they die, they will automatically awaken as commanders in the virtual realm.

The Blood Moon Master does not need to worry about the whole process, but the backup commander himself will continuously become the talent reserve of the Blood Tomb. Ash no longer knows whether he established the Blood Moon Trial to screen commanders, or whether he established the Blood Moon Trial only to realize that this is the best talent market. Anyway, in the industrialized system of the Blood Moon Kingdom, death is inevitable. Become part of production.

The dead are to serve the living, not the other way around... The Blood Moon is truly the necromancer's shrine that Harvey loves to hate!

"Then after becoming a tomb keeper, do you still have memories?"

"Yes." Varcas nodded: "But I only have memories left. Hell has washed away all my emotions."

"What does that feel like?" Ya Xiu was very curious. There is no living person who is not curious about death.

"My memory is equivalent to a book," Varcas said. "There are all kinds of stories written in the first person. Although I can read these stories at any time, they are just stories to me. , I have never been inside a book.”

"Angry, happy, sad, moved...these words cannot touch my soul at all. My soul is empty," she pointed to her chest: "I have no heartbeat and cannot understand everything in my memory, but we are... It is a consciousness born from memory, so our commander’s only wish is to accumulate meritorious service, ask the Lord God to retrieve our soul fragments from hell, and regain our heartbeat.”

"As long as I have more soul fragments, I can understand a little more memory. When I collect all the soul fragments..."

Ash: "You will be resurrected?"

"I don't know." Varkas shook his head: "I don't care. We have no other desire except to understand the memory."

Ash breathed out a filthy breath. Even he could hardly resist the temptation of 'resurrection'. Although this road is also full of difficulties, there is at least some hope.

He was even thinking about whether he should find a way to do something big in reality. Even if he died in the future, he might be reincarnated as a commander and make a comeback in the Time Continent.

However... from reality to the virtual realm, from survival to death, Ya Xiu discovered that they had never left the control of the God Lord. Even though he has never heard any teachings about God Lords, he can still vaguely understand the thoughts of different God Lords. The 'selfishness' of the Blood Moon and the 'listening' of the gospel are both subtle influences on everyone in society from all aspects, and then give rise to different social waves.

The power of the God Lord does not lie in the intimidation of power, but in the practice of will. Regardless of whether the magician is stupid or smart, rebellious or loyal, in the end he will involuntarily implement the will of the god and become a force that promotes social change.

"Take it."

Ash raised his head and hurriedly caught the magic spirit and the map.

"Hand-drawn map of Varcas"

"Spiritualism"

Ash opened the virtual map, and the system immediately popped up a prompt "Map information has been updated."

However, compared with De Milo's map of Star Hall, which fully described one-sixth of the area, Valkas's map was obviously much poorer. It only recorded one-twelfth of the area of ​​the Time Continent. Maybe it was because she had just Only a few days after joining the company, I still haven’t figured out the local terrain of Blood Tomb Company.

The most conspicuous thing about the new map is the three main cities of Blood Tomb. Ash found that the main city of Blood Tomb was one less than that of Xingtang, and asked why. Varkas replied: "Xingtang was the winner of the last Six Kingdoms Grand Prix, so it has the most main cities. If nothing unexpected happens, Xingtang will become the target of the five major forces this time."

"What is the Grand Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms?"

"A great melee occurs every fifty years. I don't know the reason for the war. I only know that it will definitely happen. A large number of souls, followers and even commanders will disappear in this war until the final winner is decided. "

Fifty years... Hearing this familiar time interval, Ash's heart moved: "How long will it be until the next Six Kingdoms Grand Prime Ministership?"

"It's very fast." Varkas said: "Calculated in real time, there are probably more than seventy days left."

...

...

The first level of the virtual realm is the sea of ​​knowledge.

A small bat was flying in the white mist. She suddenly noticed something and flew straight to the area on the right. Soon, an island appeared in front of her, and there was an orc gunsmith on the island.

When the bat turned into a human form and landed on the ground, the orc magician immediately armed his heavy sniper and tried to kill the intruder with heavy firepower. However, the visitor just raised his hand slightly, and then the orc magician's whole body stiffened, and blood flowers appeared on his body one after another, but they did not penetrate the skin, looking bright and disgusting.

Snapped.

Like the sound of a pustule bursting, the orc magician exploded into a firework and dissipated, leaving behind the magic spirit and the magician's manual.

"Does the Necronomicon Miracle have to be so disgusting...?"

Although this was not the first time, it was still difficult for Shiffrin to accept this scene - even though she was a member of the Blood Saint clan but majored in the blood arts faction, she could not understand the necromancers' love for corpse spots.

Shiffrin just used only one magic spirit to instantly kill the orc magician's projection. This magic spirit is a benefit that every blood saint can get - the 'Flower of Death'.

‘Flower of Death’ has only one effect, activating soul blood seeds within ten meters. Once successfully activated, the Blood Seed will kill the possessor, allowing the Blood Moon Sorcerer to achieve victory effortlessly.

The creators of the soul blood seeds are none other than their blood saint clan. In other words, the so-called soul blood species are actually the by-products of the Blood Saint Clan’s ‘Blood Embrace Ceremony’.

In the 'Blood Embrace Ceremony', the blood saints need to disguise themselves as medical doctors, lurk in the prison, and bury their own soul blood in the bodies of the condemned prisoners they choose. When a condemned prisoner dies in the blood moon trial, his magic power will be absorbed by the soul blood, and the blood saints will take back the soul blood and turn it into the nourishment of their own source blood.

But because the souls of the blood saints are integrated with the blood, the soul blood can also invade into the souls of the condemned prisoners. When the condemned prisoner was alive, his soul was strong enough to prevent the penetration of soul blood, but during the Blood Moon Trial, the soul blood was unprecedentedly strengthened. In addition, the soul of the condemned prisoner would stagnate when he died, so the soul blood would burrow like a centipede. Entering the soul of a condemned prisoner, it rapidly grows until it grows into a 'blood species'.

Even in the virtual realm, blood saint magicians can smell the scent of blood within 100 meters. As long as they use the 'Flower of Death' magic spirit, they can easily kill these projections of magicians with blood seeds in an instant.

Although the projection of this kind of magician is just a drop in the ocean in the virtual realm, the core blood saints fly very fast in the virtual realm. Coupled with the accumulation of blood moon trials for so many years, Shiffrin has encountered it three or four times so far. It is considered an exclusive benefit for the Blood Saint Clan.

When you are alive, you are the fuel of society and our material; after you die, you are the fertilizer of the virtual world and our nourishment.

After living in the Blood Moon for so many years, Shiffrin still finds it difficult to accept this kind of value: everything has a clearly marked price, all props should be put into reproduction, and the so-called added value of emotion, commemoration, meaning, etc. will not be recognized, draining life. The last bit of value is the greatest respect for life... This extreme pursuit of the best interests makes Shiffrin, who likes traveling, taking pictures, poker and flower cutting and other meaningless entertainment, very tired.

'Speaking of which, Ash is already living in another country now... What kind of country is it? What race is there? What are the characteristics? Is there such a feudal dross as blood relationship? Do the gods there love and protect people? ’ Shiffrin thought wildly while packing up the loot, turned into a little bat again, and continued to explore the virtual realm.

Gudong.

The little bat hovered in the air, and its ultrasound detected a strange whirlpool sound in the sea next to her.

swirl?

Shiffrin's silver wings have been condensed long ago, and now she is waiting for the blood magic faction to be promoted to the gold level and promoted to the second wing. However, she had been in the Sea of ​​Knowledge for several months and had never seen a whirlpool, so she flew over to see the world.

Just when the little bat was about to fly into the whirlpool, she happened to see a small boat emerging from the whirlpool. She couldn't dodge at all, and she directly fought with the people on the boat!

"Huh? I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

The little bat flapped its wings and found itself being held in the arms of a Veela magician.
