Archduke Owen spoke these things in a very indifferent tone, as if he were describing something that had nothing to do with him, but what he said made the listener get goosebumps.The madness was taking over his body.It's not just from meat.
The body is replaced, and at the same time, it is also eroding at the soul level, and he can even clearly feel the process of this erosion, which is simply terrifying willpower - not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary warriors, how many people can be as indifferent as Archduke Owen when facing this situation?
Hao Ren came to the bed, carefully observing the corruption of the upper half of Grand Duke Owen's body, and the data terminal flew off his shoulder, flying around the wound.Grand Duke Owen and the silver-haired woman next to the bed were stunned for a moment at the same time when they saw the data terminal, with some puzzled and thoughtful looks on their faces, but no one noticed this detail except Leah."
It's really the result of the power of madness, but this person has slowed down the erosion process with strong willpower and physical strength," the voice of the data terminal sounded in Hao Ren's mind, "The sample has been extracted and the treatment plan has been considered." ”"We want to know what happened last night," Vivien said suddenly, "if she could tell us." ”Grand Duke Owen glanced at everyone present fixedly, and after a moment's hesitation, he first threw out a question: "Why are you interested in these?"
You guys......
How much do you know about the changes that are happening in me?
”"I know a lot," Leah held out a finger and pointed to the wound on Grand Duke Owen's chest, and the wriggling corrupted flesh instantly froze, "I can even heal you—but only if you can tell us the details of the Black Sword Knights who have turned into monsters." ”Grand Duke Owen looked at the changes in his wound in astonishment, a hint of inexplicable gleam flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed: "It seems that it is really wise to call you here."
There's nothing to hide from what happened last night, and I think you've heard the rumors. ”"It is said that a team of Black Sword Knights took advantage of the night to touch the Northern Legion station, and then was detected by the Broken Sword Knights who were on vigil," Hao Ren continued, "Originally, the strength of the Broken Sword Knights far exceeded that of the Black Sword Knights, but that sneak attack team suddenly burst out with monster-like power......"
"It completely turned into a monster," Grand Duke Owen nodded, "There were only a dozen of the attackers, and I suspect that they mutated in the Northern Legion station in a completely controlled manner with a plan.Their armor melted like wax, metal and flesh fused and grew, and a large number of asymmetrical limbs grew from their torsos, and their skulls had a large number of mouthparts and eyes open in a horrific way.The roar that comes out of their mouth makes people trance, the look in their eyes makes the weak-willed go crazy on the spot, and ordinary soldiers are no match for those guys - the scars of the sword heal in the blink of an eye, and the stab of their limbs or blades is fatal. ”Grand Duke Owen said as he pointed to the wound on his chest: "After ordinary soldiers were injured by them, they all turned into similar monsters in a short period of time, although the monsters transformed in this way can only live for a short time, but they are enough to cause catastrophic consequences.And I was actually hurt by those monsters, but I lasted longer than the others. ”As he spoke, he lowered his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Originally, I was going to use myself as a sample, and when I returned to the castle, I asked the scholars and magisters here to study what was between my flesh and blood, so as to find a way to combat that corruption, but in the end, all the treatment options had no effect, and even Maester Holman could only prolong my life for one day."
If it weren't for you, I would have been ready to leave the castle. ”The implication of Archduke Owen's words is very obvious: he is not leaving the castle to return to the front line, but nine times out of ten he is going to exile himself to the snowy fields or the Gorgon's Abyss, or even to kill himself, because once a powerful warrior like him is completely transformed......
Even if you can only survive for a short period of time after transformation, the damage you can cause is devastating.Hao Ren nodded slightly, Grand Duke Owen's description is very detailed and has sufficient reference value, the mutation of those black sword knights is undoubtedly caused by the power of madness, and according to the "control" and "purposefulness" of their mutation, it can be concluded that there should be a superior individual behind them who controls everything.After all, the cannon fodder units in the Crazy Minions have almost no ability to think, and only the superior derivatives or "brain" units have the ability to think and command, and in Lahrien, this "brain" should be the Dragon Soul Emperor."
When were you attacked?"
Lily asked next to her.Grand Duke Owen thought for a moment: "About half an hour after midnight. ”"Then the time will be right," Vivien nodded, "that's when we sense the 'outburst'." ”Charlemagne asked, somewhat puzzled, "Outbreak?"
What outbreak?
”"Ah, you may not feel that breath, or you may not be able to tell if you do," Lily waved her hand indifferently, "it was last night when the blizzard was at its highest, when an evil force erupted from the direction of the imperial capital, which basically coincided with the time of the attack on Grand Duke Owen. ”Grand Duke Owen, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard Lily's words, and his face also flashed with a strange look: "Sure enough......
You can sense 'that thing' too - you are indeed the inheritors?!
”Hao Ren's eyelids trembled slightly the moment he heard the word "inheritor": Sure enough, there is a clue here!
But he didn't show it completely, but nodded quietly: "We do know something, but before we talk about it, let's cure you first."
Leah, over to you. ”Leah nodded and stepped forward to stand next to Grand Duke Owen, but she didn't do anything more, just quietly watching the old man lying on the bed.The others looked at her curiously, wondering how the "little girl" intended to heal the terrible corrosion that had befallen the Grand Duke.This eerie silence lasted for a few seconds, and just when Grand Duke Owen was already stared at by Leah and was about to say something, Hao Ren suddenly noticed some vague shadows on the bed beside the Grand Duke.It looked like a shadow cast by the body, and at first glance it didn't look unusual, but it appeared in response to the sunlight that poured in through the window!
Everyone noticed the unusual "shadow", which had remained motionless at first, but suddenly squirmed after a few seconds.As if to escape from danger, the wriggling black shadow suddenly fluctuated, and quickly "swam" away from Leah's line of sight.However, the shadow did not escape far, and almost as soon as it left the Grand Duke's body, Leah had already flashed to the other side of the bed, reaching out and grasping the wriggling mass.The black shadow was grabbed directly from the two-dimensional plane to the three-dimensional space, and it struggled violently, crumpling into a disgusting, smoky soft mass in the air, but no matter how much it struggled, it could not escape from Leah's small palm, but continued to let out a piercing scream and squeak of flesh ablation in the process of contact with the latter, and in just half a minute, it ablated only a black ball no more than two centimeters in diameter."
Okay, okay, if you burn it again, it will burn out," Hao Ren saw that even the ball was starting to smoke, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the thing from Leah's hand and threw it into the sample storage container that had been prepared for a long time, "I have to keep a sample for analysis." ”Then he turned his head: "Grand Duke, how do you feel now......
Uh, ahem, Archduke Owen, Grand Duke Owen?
”After screaming several times, the old man lying on the bed suddenly came to his senses, and his face was full of strange looks: "This ......
That's it?
”"It's not a complicated thing in the first place," Leah waved her hand indifferently, "it's just a little post-recession pollutant, and the people under my command can handle it casually."
But you're really impressive, an ordinary person......
It's the first time I've seen someone last so long. ”"That's right, that's right, it's the inheritor!"
The expression on Grand Duke Owen's face became excited, "Whose heritage are you?"
What era was the predecessor of the World Tree Temple?
Such a powerful ......
Could it be the Tumen Empire?
No, Tumen couldn't have fought Gorgon so easily......
Are you Gorgon, or even before Gorgon...... cough cough, cough ......"
Maybe it was too excited, or maybe it was the weakness accumulated in the body that suddenly broke out after the power of madness was expelled, the old man who was so strong that he couldn't talk suddenly coughed violently, Hao Ren hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the other party: "Calm, calm, you finally picked up a life now, don't throw it away so easily." ”Leah also glanced at Grand Duke Owen lightly: "I just expelled the corrupting power in your body, but the vitality and soul you lost are not so easy to replenish - especially the latter, your soul has been eaten away by a third, it is irreversible damage, even I am difficult to repair it perfectly, if you are too excited, your body and soul will not be able to bear it." ”"Whew......
How......
"Grand Duke Owen lay back in his place, while gasping violently, in front of the miracle bestowed by the goddess herself, the wound in his chest was healing at an alarming speed, but the defect in the origin of his body that had been suppressed by the power of madness suddenly burst out, which made him look even weaker than just now," I ......
I see.What are the consequences of soul loss?
”"You'll still be alive, but to be honest, it's probably impossible to be a wise guardian of the North," Leah said bluntly, "Your mind, will, memory, and even personality will be greatly weakened or transformed in a bad direction, and your body will also be affected, because of the mismatch between the soul and the body, you will have difficulty controlling the original body, causing it to weaken until it is in line with the soul."
Of course, ordinary people are basically useless in this situation, but your foundation is very good, and I have protected and filled in your damaged parts as much as possible, so you will not become a waste, but you will not reach half of your heyday in all aspects. ”"For me......
It's no different from being scrapped," Grand Duke Owen sighed, but then shook his head in relief, "but it's enough to be content to get a life back." ”"Now we can talk about what you just said," Hao Ren immediately continued, "about the Tumen Empire, Gorgon, the Era, and the Inheritors. ”(The annual meeting is back, and the annual meeting continues to be more successful, but the manuscript is exhausted, and there is nothing to love.
