Chapter 1028 The First Mad Disaster
Hao Ren didn't react until Claude came out and bowed to Vivian.
In fact, Vivian herself didn't react.
Except for Claude and Mimir, everyone's outlook on life was basically reduced to scum!
Hao Ren could never have predicted that things would develop like this. After going around in Mimir's memories, he realized that the man in front of him was poor every day and couldn't get rid of the blame. The greatest happiness in life is to have enough food. For ten thousand years, he The ancestor of the vampire who wandered around in confusion turned out to have a closer relationship with the demon hunter than imagined. They were supposed to be mortal enemies, but in ancient times...
This poor guy respects him as the fourteenth saint of demon hunters!
A vampire who is the fourteenth saint of the witchers! It must be emphasized again because it is very important.
She is the "inter-ethnic friend" of the Thirteen Saints, a senior expert of the demon hunters when they were still weak, and even the "Corpus" alien space that is now regarded as the base camp by the demon hunters is Vivian's. A gift for them!
However, Vivian had completely forgotten all this, and even the demon hunter himself seemed to have forgotten all about it. This was what Hao Ren couldn't understand the most. The former is easy to say, after all, everyone knows about Vivian's brain, but how does the witcher explain it? Although almost all the old guys from the ancient times are dead, there shouldn't be any left, right? Even if there is really no one left, it doesn’t mean that there is not even a word left, right? After all, he is also the "Fourteenth Saint" of his own race. Didn't he leave even a little record?
Hao Ren can think of this, and others can of course think of it. Even Lily has a serious face - but the biggest feature of the Husky race is that their faces are serious all the time, so it is difficult for us to judge whether this girl is serious now. Are you distracted or thinking about problems? Anyway, Yzaks spoke up: "What happened next? How did this situation come about?"
Mimir's voice continued to ring in everyone's minds, and this time he was obviously explaining specifically to Vivian: "Old friend, that happened more than six thousand years ago. You don't remember it anymore. In fact, even I originally I don't know these things. I only learned about these things after being brought here and having contact with twelve 'saints' for a long time, so some situations may be different. As far as I know, you are indeed Cole The first discoverer of Perth, I didn’t even know you at that time. You led the wandering demon hunters to find a place where they could live stably. Although compared with other alien space territories, Corpus There is no 'land' in the ordinary sense, but as a stable and safe base camp, it is perfect. The witchers soon regarded this space as their home, and as you can imagine - began to explore Kolper Si's endless ancient secrets.
"Corpus has brought them huge benefits. Before that, the demon hunters were just a relatively weak race. But after getting Corpus, they began to have a stable place to study their own power and began to be able to Cultivate and train stronger tribal warriors, and more importantly, they began to discover various powerful legacies in this alien space.
"Although most of the excavated objects are elusive and unusable, simply extracting energy from the relics using primitive crude benzene is enough to make the witcher powerful. Just like that, everything looks good. .
"Until they found something in a temple they shouldn't touch."
Hao Ren blurted out: "That sword?!"
"Yes, that sword," Mimir lowered his eyes. "The fourteen leaders of the demon hunters, including Vivian, found the sword together. It was randomly discarded in the corner of a temple, weird. The material and appearance of the sword immediately caught their attention. Although it looked ordinary, the sword seemed to have magic power that attracted the fourteen saints together. After some debate, the fourteen saints had different opinions on the sword. Opinions on the matter were divided.
"Vivian is very cautious, so she thinks this weapon of unknown origin should be sealed away.
"The Thirteen Saints feel that this sword will bring more power to the demon hunters, just like other legacies in the ruins.
"In the end, Bedolis's intuitive premonition played a decisive role: in a vision, he saw a prosperous future for witchers, and this was caused by the power of the Dark Sword. So what happened next was logical: Chapter The opinions of the Fourteen Saints were overruled, and the Thirteen Saints held a ceremony to draw power from the Sword of Darkness."
Bai Huo stared at this and gasped when he heard this: "The same thing happened as this time?"
The corners of Mimir's mouth drooped: "No, it's worse. The situation during the Second Madness Disaster was that only the Order of Elders and the Order of Saints remained in Corpus, and most of the demon hunters had spread out. In the whole world, only some of them are infected. You still have a battle to fight after you get here. The number of witchers during the First Madness Disaster was far less than it is now, and the seal of the gate of Corpus is far less. It’s so strict now. During the first frenzy, almost all demon hunters were concentrated in a different space. The moment the ritual was performed, the entire race was affected.”
"Where was I at that time?" Vivian asked aloud.
"You left Corpus at that time," Mimir raised his eyes. "You were very angry, so you left, but then you were worried, so you came back to take a look - only to find that something big had happened."
"How did you solve it later?" Vivian frowned, "Can I solve it by myself?"
"It is indeed you alone," Mimir replied affirmatively. "According to the memories I read from the brain waves of twelve saints, at that time you had a secret path that could directly sneak into the clock tower of the spiritual world - this is very difficult. It's normal. After all, you were the first to discover this space. When all the demon hunters were affected by the Calamity of Madness and completely lost control and turned into a mess, you took advantage of the chaos to enter the ceremony hall and interrupted the Thirteen Saints. ritual. The impact after the interruption of the ritual hit them hard, so you fought against everyone on your own. After several days of fighting, they finally woke up - roughly woke up.
"During the fierce battle, the leader of the demon hunters and the first saint was directly illuminated by the red moon. Her soul was almost completely torn apart, her vitality was exhausted, and she died a few years later."
Mimir took a short break after speaking here to give everyone a buffer time to think. Vivian broke the silence after a few seconds: "So the first saint actually died in my hands... Then what happened after that? Hunting How did it start? Why don’t current demon hunters know about the ‘Fourteen Saints’ at all?”
"The Catastrophe of Madness is over, but it has completely changed the race of demon hunters," Mimir sighed. "You all know that the various races on this planet have hostile instincts towards each other, and the Catastrophe of Madness is extremely powerful. This dark side in the hearts of demon hunters has been greatly magnified. They originally pursued conservatism and prudence, but after the disaster, everyone's minds were purged, most people's memories were confused, and their ways of thinking were subverted. They were full of Angry, although the vendetta between the same races is over, all their anger has been transferred to the foreign races. Just like that, the hunting begins."
This is the truth behind the demon hunters' declaration of war on all supernatural races in the world - their innate hostility to aliens has been multiplied!
Hao Ren suddenly thought of the soldiers of the Presbyterian Order who had been captured before - those soldiers were caught up in the fanatical "purification heresy" thoughts and could not extricate themselves. Although they were still conscious, their words and deeds were crazy. They could use force on their compatriots without hesitation. Get the butcher's knife. Six thousand years ago, before the demon hunters launched their first hunt, Corpus also experienced such a "great pollution". That pollution was stopped by Vivian on her own, but her stoppage was not perfect: the reverberation of the God-killing Sword still changed the way of thinking of demon hunters, making them innately hostile to other aliens. "Evolution" has become a hunting instinct, and what is even more deadly is an idea that was instilled in them:
Heresy must be purified.
So, in the name of purifying heretics, the hunt begins.
"Their memories have also been wiped away, right?" Vivian frowned, "Otherwise they wouldn't know about me..."
"This is the weirdest part of the whole incident: their memories have not been completely cleansed. In fact, they have been erased...only the memory part about you." Mimir stared at Vivian, "There is a complicated story. A curse has fallen on this place: most ordinary demon hunters have completely forgotten about Vivian Ancesta. The saints have withstood the memory cleansing with their strength. They still have memories of you deep in their consciousness, but they But I can't mention your name and related deeds. Some of the oldest books in this tower still contain information from your time as the fourteenth saint, but no one can read them and survive the first madness. A few of the demon hunters who came down still vaguely remembered what happened back then, but they all died in accidents while trying to say your name. Later, the twelve saints realized one thing: it was not the demon hunters who were cursed , but the name Vivian Ancesta.
"You have been erased from the memory of the demon hunters. From the first time you met their leader to the outbreak of the Madness, everything about you during this period has been shrouded in dark power. "
"...That sword failed to kill me back then, so it killed my name..." Vivian was dumbfounded and murmured to herself, "Sure enough, that thing was specifically aimed at the Goddess of Creation..."
