Fate is such a thing as awe-inspiring because it is elusive.The witchers with a mission to hunt aliens have a vampire "saint", who are now regarded by the various supernatural races as a beast of prey, and they were once a conservative and cautious race, a god-killing sword turned the hostile instinct of the witchers into a more powerful hunting instinct, and also changed their way of thinking semi-permanently, bringing them peace and prosperity, but also a cage that imprisoned them for six thousand years......
And the one who knows all these secrets is an original guardian giant, Mimir."
The hostile instinct between the races is not terrible, it only makes the races a mess, it is a blind and chaotic hatred force, there is no logic and no purpose, it can be consumed between races for a long time, but just like the food chain in nature, it will not really completely destroy the entire alien race," as everyone fell into thought, Mimir sighed at his realization in the past 10,000 years, as a former guardian giant, even when crossing the wall of reality, he was affected by the original sin of divine blood and lost his memory, He also maintained a stronger sanity and intelligence than any other race, and as a result, he was able to see through a lot of things during this long time, "The Witcher......
The most terrifying thing that has ever happened to them is that the Dark Sword has transformed their hunting instincts, turning an illogical impulse of chaos into a purposeful mission that all witchers believe in this 'noble mission'.Superficial mind control is not scary, what is scary is this change in worldview and way of thinking.With a clear goal and great power, the witcher becomes irresistible......
"First Plague of Madness......
It seems that although I finally stopped it, in fact the harm it caused has spread," Vivien's voice was a little dull, "and it also 'killed' my name and completely erased my existence from the witcher community......"
"But now you can say these things," Hao Ren looked at Mimir and suddenly reacted, "That is......
This 'ban' is invalid?!
”"You've finally put an end to the frenzy," Mimir snapped her eyelids in affirmation, "its effects have faded, and I can feel the dark forces that have enveloped this space for millennia.It's a pity that the Twelve Saints are dead, and the demon hunters who knew about it in the old days are basically gone, so this old story can only be told to you by me, an 'outsider'. ”Hao Ren frowned and pondered, Mimir's story sounded very reasonable, but there were still many questions that people couldn't understand.He touched his chin, "Although the Twelve Saints can't say Vivien's name, they still know her, right......
Then she has been fighting with demon hunters every once in a while for thousands of years, why don't the saints stop her?
At least give me some special care, right......"
"I thought about it, it seems that there are quite a few special cares," Vivien chuckled a little embarrassedly, "Demon hunters have rarely come to me for trouble, in fact, they have been around me for thousands of years......
Now that I think about it, I was there when Mount Olympus collapsed, I was there when Eugudolashil cracked, I was closer when Horus was blown down by three fireballs, but in the end no one came to trouble me. ”"Yes, the saints can't tell your story, but they can remind the young witchers not to trouble you," Mimir seemed to smile, "and though it will have a limited effect, you'll be attacked less often than the other aliens." ”"Okay, that's the part, let's talk about what you call this 'Plague of Madness'," Vivien waved her hand, "Listen to your previous tone, you already know about killing gods......
Will the Dark Sword get out of control again?
Did you even know I was coming?
”"These are the words you left back then," Mimir's voice was a little helpless, "you had one last conversation with the saints after you stopped the ritual and reluctantly brought the saints back to their senses, before the sword's 'curse' took effect.You know that the power of that sword has escaped, and that it will probably not dissipate for thousands of years, and that you will not be able to destroy that evil weapon once and for all, so you have decided to seal the Dark Sword and wait until its power has weakened before you find a way to destroy it—or continue to seal it.But Berdolis foreshadowed a dark future: he discovered that the sword would inevitably get out of control and eventually consume the minds of all saints.There is a limit to Bedolis's prophetic powers, and he can only see fragments, but there is no way to change them."
Eventually, the saints, who had put life and death on the line, decided to accept the future, but in order to leave a glimmer of hope and confidence in your own power, you left a memory crystal to Bedolis, saying that you would one day come back to clean up the pieces.In this way, even if you lose your memory in the future, as long as you see the blood crystal again, you will come and finish your unfinished work. ”Vivien thought for a moment, "And it bypasses the curse of that sword."
Even if the saints can't tell the truth, they can get their men to hand over the blood crystals to me—they just can't explain to their fellow citizens. ”Mimir lowered her eyes: "That's all. ”"Wait, wait, I have a question!"
Lily suddenly raised her hand and popped out, "Since the Twelve Saints know that the Dark Sword is an evil thing, then why do they still hold this ceremony!"
Isn't that death?
”"They underestimated the corrupting of the minds of the Dark Sword," Mimir sighed, "The sound of that sword has been whispering in the minds of all the witchers for thousands of years, affecting the minds of the guards in a way that they themselves are not aware of.Before I knew it, the twelve saints had been corrupted, and even I was not immune to its influence.This is the truth that Bedolith failed to see in his vision: the Dark Sword does get out of hand, but it is they who unleash it. ”Hao Ren finally fully understood.All the unreasonable actions of the demon hunters, the slow and passive way of coping with the twelve saints who knew the truth back then, and the reason why they knew that the "hunting" behavior was a suspicious impulse but let it go, all suddenly had an explanation.Not even a guardian giant like Mimir could resist the whispers of the Godkiller Sword—even if he didn't even notice them.Luckily, when the Dark Sword was truly sealed, at least Mimir came to his senses, and he was able to tell the truth.Mimir was brought to the Spirit Clock Tower just after Ragnarok - thousands of years after the first Plague of Madness, but through the psychic powers of the Guardian Giants, he unearthed these truths from the brains of the Twelve Saints."
It's hard to do anything under the influence of those whispers, but we've fought as best we can," Mimir smiled faintly, "we can't break the shackles of our minds, but we can make arrangements within the rules."
While Bedolith sent the Blood Crystal, the others did everything in their power to prevent the most corrupted Elder Order from leaving Colpers, and I, using the ritual of Memory Inheritance, raised Claude as a messenger and spokesperson at a critical moment. ”This is the end of Mimir's story, and he leaves the rest of his time to Vivien and her friends to sort out and digest the incredible truths."
Do you think these stories are true?"
After a long time, Hao Ren leaned over to Vivien's side and asked in a low voice."
There's no way to prove it's fake," Vivien shook her head with a wry smile, "All events are corresponding, and there are reasonable reasons for suspicious places."
Of course, there are many unexplained details in the whole story, but six thousand years of time and the corrupting of the minds of those in the know by the sword of the gods can explain everything.Overall......
I'm inclined to believe these. ”"But I can't believe that you did such a big thing back then."
Hao Ren couldn't help but look at Vivian with strange eyes, although he knew that the latter had lived for 10,000 years, but he never thought that Vivian, who was peaceful by nature, would have such an earth-shattering past."
What are you doing......
Vivian's voice was a little fluttering, "I feel a little scared."
Six thousand years of sinking, my strength has declined too much, and the loss of memory is a big problem, if I don't happen to be with you this time, if I am recklessly attracted to Colpers by myself......
The consequences are unimaginable. ”Hao Ren glanced at her: "Then you still took such a big order back then." ”"Didn't I think I had a great advantage back then," Vivian was a little embarrassed, "and based on the amnesia, I think I should have been preparing for a new round of slumber at that time, you know, I was more ......likely to get excited before going to bed" Hao Ren: "......"
After a moment of silence, Mimir saw that everyone had almost sorted out, and he suddenly broke the silence: "The paperwork records about the Fourteenth Saint, as well as the early historical materials of the excavation of the Colpers Ruins, are kept in the room behind me.Old friend, I think you're definitely interested in them. ”(To be continued.) )
