Chapter 64 The Curse of Varcas
The medical doctor [222] is right.
The Blood Moon Trial is indeed the only opportunity for death row prisoners to trade magic spirits.
Ash looked at the three magic spirits in his hands, as if he could still see Varkas' cold and thin face.
The sword that penetrated his throat contained five magical spirits that Valkas had just released from their contract.
As long as he moves a little slower, as long as his consciousness dissipates a little faster, these three magic spirits will escape as quickly as possible. Even though Ash had gone as fast as he could, two magic spirits still escaped. It was unknown whether they were riding the finger sharks in Broken Lake to enjoy the freedom of surfing.
As for why Varcas did this, there were too many reasons.
Because Ash defeated him,
Because he wanted to take revenge on Xilin,
Because I am grateful to Ash for his hospice care,
Maybe it’s because he’s just watching the fun and doesn’t think it’s a big deal…
A dying elf, no matter what he would do, Ash would not be surprised. Except for the fact that his throat was penetrated by Varkas, Ash strongly suspected that he was holding a grudge and wanted to avenge his throat being cut in the death duel.
Just by doing this, Varkas posed a problem to Ash.
Although the time traveled was not long, Ya Xiu clearly realized that he was incompatible with this world.
However, he had no intention of integrating.
He couldn't change the world of magicians, and he didn't intend to let the world of magicians change him.
There is no family here, and all he will meet from now on are strangers.
Although the magician's power is unpredictable and strange, and there may not be a magic miracle that can make Ya Xiu return home, Ya Xiu has no hope for this.
He is not the kind of person who must rely on hope to survive.
Coupled with the life threat of the Blood Moon Trial and the breathless absolute control of Broken Lake Prison, Ash has actually always had a subtle mentality of 'live one day and earn one day'.
Besides, if you can travel through time once, you may not be able to travel through it a second time. This time he came to the world of magicians, and he might be able to go to the world of technicians next time. Ashiu was blindly optimistic about his journey to the heavens.
Because of this optimistic attitude, which was probably due to the sudden absence of work, Ash had a 'bystander' mentality towards everyone he met. He will sympathize with other people's experiences and lament other people's life and death, but will forget it when he turns around, just like watching a movie.
Viewers, this name actually suits him quite well.
Observe without doing, observe without speaking, observe without remembering.
He was like a wandering boat, drifting with the waves, fearful of facing the mainland.
But now, there is an extra burden on the lonely boat, and a mark appears in the memory.
Although the magician didn't need to sleep, when he dreamed back at midnight, Ash felt that he would definitely dream of Valkas's last look.
Of course he would not think that he was responsible for Varkas's death, but Varkas's last gift made Ash feel that he had to do something in return for Varkas.
He doesn't like others to owe him, nor does he like to owe others.
He must escape from prison, he must find Professor Schilling, and he must survive.
Otherwise, I feel like I have failed Varkas's kindness and failed the three magic spirits he gave me.
Maybe this is his real revenge?
Using life as the price, death as a ritual, silence as a spell, and magical spirits as bait, Varkas exhausted everything and cursed Ash to live.
For this group of Broken Lake death row prisoners, there is no curse more vicious than 'survive'.
"He's a true swordsman."
After listening to Ashian's bizarre blood moon trial experience tonight, Sonia couldn't help but sigh, and then added: "And he is a generous and good elf."
"He is generous, but he is definitely not a good elf. He is imprisoned in Broken Lake Prison based on his performance." Ashi said, "But elves and humans cannot be simply described as 'good' or 'bad'." Divided, only gods or demons can be pure good or pure evil...it is humans who vacillate among them."
"With so many emotions, is this the first time you've seen a dead person since you lost your memory?"
Amnesia? Yes, Heath himself caused many deaths in the past... Ash nodded: "It should be said that this is the first time I have seen someone die in front of me."
"So you don't have any information about the Heart Sword stance?"
"of course not."
"Damn it!" Sonia looked at the Heart Sword Magic Spirit in Ash's hand unwillingly: "Such a good magic spirit is wasted in your hands... But in this case, wouldn't your Kill Me Miracle be enough? Is there only one magic spirit missing?"
"That's right, if you're lucky, maybe you can collect the required magic spirits tonight."
Ash breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the slightest hope of escaping from prison."
A total of three kinds of magic spirits are needed to kill my miracle. Each of the three kinds of magic spirits has multiple secondary choices, and it is not specific to a certain magic spirit. Most miracles can achieve similar effects by replacing magic spirits of the same type. At most, the power range will be different.
If magic spirits are building blocks, then miracles are buildings with a specific appearance. As long as you can form this building, no matter whether the building blocks you use are cubes, triangles, or cones, you have achieved a miracle.
The Heart Sword and the Stand are both magic spirits that meet the requirements. The Stand is quite satisfactory, while the Heart Sword is overkill. I guess the people who created the miracle of Killing Me never thought that someone would be so extravagant as to use the Five Unparalleled Secret Swords. One of the spirits is used as the component magic spirit.
As long as the last magic spirit is found, Yaxiu can use the Miracle of Killing Me to purify the chip on the back of his neck.
"Prison escape..." Sonia murmured: "In other words, your body is in the prison of the Blood Moon Kingdom, being threatened by the Blood Moon Trial, and you still have no memory of the past..."
No memory of the past? Well, it's true that he has no memory of Heath's past.
Ash looked at her strangely after hearing this: "Didn't you already know that? My body was identified as the leader of the cult of the Four Pillar Gods. I was caught by hunters when I held an illegal gathering in the basement. However, this body is so weak. Definitely a scapegoat.”
Yes, the viewer told her before that he was imprisoned in a certain prison. She thought it was some kind of hidden prison, but she didn't expect it to be a prison in the Blood Moon Kingdom. Although the Blood Moon Kingdom is also a place so far away that it only exists in books. It was a noun, but she had heard of it at least, which gave Sonia a feeling of 'nothing more than that'.
"With your strength, you can't even escape from the prison in the Blood Moon Kingdom?"
"What do you mean, with my strength, don't you know I'm a waste?"
"Haha, trash? A trash that can force me to challenge Leonie? Then what am I, a poor thing controlled by trash? A toy that can be tricked to death by you at any time?"
Although she learned the miracle of water and moon as a blessing in disguise, Sonia was still furious.
The last time she challenged Felix was just that. After all, the gap between Felix and her was not very big, and she still had a slight chance of winning. But this time, the gap between Leone and her was simply ridiculous. If Leone hadn't deliberately attacked her, Be merciful, she had no chance to use Izuku.
I was lucky enough to meet Leonie this time, but what about next time?
What about next time?
In the group of magicians, there are many ruthless heroes. Young magicians like students are fine, but many older magicians have experienced too much danger and death in their long and lonely exploration of the virtual world, and their consciences have been cut into a ferocious shape by the cold wind of the sea of knowledge.
They are gradually unable to distinguish the difference between reality and virtual reality. They subconsciously act mercilessly when facing the enemy, as if they think that killing the enemy will reveal the loot. What's more, they have directly turned into "sinking demons", treating reality as virtual reality everywhere. Massive killing.
Although Sonia has strong objections to compulsory training, she feels that it is for her own good, and she can still convince herself to accept it. But now the audience actually asks her to take the initiative to participate in dangerous battles. Sonia can only convince herself to try her best now. Don't hit the viewer's head first because it seems a bit difficult to beat.
"Is it that serious..." Ash tried to hide it.
"I was the one who went to fight to the death, I was the one who was injured, and I was the one whose life was hanging by a thread. Only I am qualified to say whether it is serious or not!" Sonia tried her best to suppress her anger: "Do you have to watch me change?" Only when you turn into a corpse will you sigh, 'I seem to have made a mistake in my judgment'?"
How can it be so serious? You won't die... When Ash was a little disapproving, a thought came to his mind: Is the Sword Girl really not going to die?
There is no precedent for game characters to be defeated and die in mobile games. If it is to gain monetization, the company may actually load this setting and then sell resurrection coins to tease players.
Moreover, Sword Girl has stated many times that she is not dependent on Ash for her existence. She also has her own life, the university where she lives, and the friends she has met. She is a real person...and reality is the farthest term from immortality.
Even if the Sword Lady can be resurrected after her death in battle, will the resurrected Sword Lady still be the Sword Lady he has known for many days?
Ash couldn't afford to risk losing Sword Princess.
Not just because of the power.
Especially because Sword Girl is the only person he can trust and confide to.
No matter how small a boat is, it will feel too spacious for one person.
"Okay, what you said makes sense, and I apologize." Ya Xiu considered his words: "But you should know that I am also doing it for your own good. If it weren't for my arrangement, you wouldn't have created the Water Moon Miracle so quickly, right? ?”
"What does this have to do with your arrangement?"
"Because I know that when you fight that Leo, you will enter the awakening state due to the large gap in strength, thereby creating your own miracles, and you will not encounter any danger. Everything is within my plan. "
"You obviously even remembered the other person's name wrong!"
"It's not important. The point is that I am sure that you only need to pay a small price to get a lot of benefits."
Seeing that Sword Girl was still worried, Ash thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. If I want to arrange for you to participate in a more dangerous battle in the future, I will discuss it with you in advance. How about it?"
That's pretty much it.
Seeing that the viewer was finally willing to give in, Sonia was very satisfied. In fact, even if the viewer is bent on messing with her, she has nothing to do with the viewer, and every time she gives in, there will be a second time. Eventually, Sonia will be able to conquer the viewer into submission.
Sonia is also reassured by her promise to the viewer. Although the viewer is usually a jerk, he is still reliable in his work. Plus, with the background of being suspected of being reborn as a legend, his judgment should be fine.
If Sonia knew that Ash's method of judging the danger was to read the description of the event card, and that the duel with Leonie was only dangerous, she might not be able to relax in the future.
"Speaking of which, how did you find me?" Sonia suddenly remembered this.
"I will enter the virtual realm through the door of truth you left behind, and then find you along the way."
Ash returned to the dormitory and opened the light curtain, and found that Sword Princess was not waiting for him, and the character's status was 'exploring the virtual realm'.
Ash originally thought he missed the train, but luckily there was an option to 'join midway', but he didn't come directly to Sword Queen, but appeared at the initial location where Sword Queen entered the virtual realm tonight.
To enter or exit the virtual realm, you must pass through the Gate of Truth. This is the rule. If it weren't for the bond, Ash wouldn't be able to get into the virtual realm through the door of truth left by Sword Princess.
Sonia was not surprised that viewers could know where she was. She just had a doubt: "But I have been swimming in the virtual realm for almost two hours. How did you get there so quickly?"
"Two hours? But you are only one area away from the initial location. I sailed for more than a minute and found you."
"How can it be!?"
"Why did I lie to you? Wait, you said you swam for two hours. Could it be that you...have been spinning around here?"
Sonia blinked, sat down calmly, looked sideways at the white mist in the distance, and said, "I just thought you wouldn't be absent for no reason, so I kept exploring nearby."
If you weren't blushing to the base of your ears, I would almost believe you.
Ash puffed out and opened the virtual map under Sonia's resentful gaze.
Because he is equipped with a virtual telescope, he can now observe the information in the surrounding 24-block area. Most of them are "wasted efforts". There is one that is "worth visiting". Ash is not in a hurry and sails slowly for a while.
"What about the miracle you just performed?" Sonia suddenly remembered this, "Varkas gave you the magical spirit, but not the miracle technique?"
Ash said casually: "I saw him use it once before, using the combination of the Earth Sword and the Wind Wall to create it. However, I am not a two-wing magician, so the defensive power is far inferior to the genuine version he used."
I watched it once, combined it, and got it right?
Is this miracle so simple?
The Earth Sword is from the swordsmanship system, and the Wind Wall is from the wind technique system. Cross-faction miracles have always been very difficult...
Sonia felt something was wrong. At this time, Ash found a sparkling golden legend on the map indicating "whirlpool".
"Do you know what whirlpool means?"
Sonia was startled: "Have you found the whirlpool?"
"Probably"
"Go, hurry up!" Sonia rushed up in an instant, grabbed Ash and shook her wildly, as excited as if she had picked up a lottery ticket in the toilet and found out it was the first prize: "If you are lucky, maybe we can win tonight You can condense the wings of silver!" PS: Recommend a book, "Start with a Character Template" Introduction: I never expected that the good brother who entered the dormitory of the main god space actually blew up the main god space, turned around and sent a main god Space debris. This thing is good. Change the plot to obtain source points. By consuming source points, you can travel through the world and extract character panels. He took a look at the world he was in now: Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. He took another look at the character panel he owned: Gin Ichimaru. "Isn't this just killing indiscriminately?" - The author is an old two-dimensional novel writer, so I can believe it.
