Veronica is a "half-vampire" born in Parnia, and the ancestors of the half-vampire clan were originally vampires, and after converting to the "goddess of magic and death" Vijesus, she transformed into a half-vampire through a "sanctification ceremony", giving up her immortality in exchange for fertility to reproduce, and is no longer extremely afraid of sunlight like vampires, and can live in daylight.
Because half-vampires and vampires are of the same origin, Veronica certainly knew that vampires could turn into a cloud of blood mist in order to escape when they were dying, and what she saw in front of her made her both sad and confused, and she couldn't help but ask the blood mist loudly: "Uncle, the people of black blood have been enemies of us Parnians for generations, and their hatred is as deep as the sea, and you are not ashamed to turn yourself into such an abomination as a Parnia?"
The eyes that loomed in the blood-colored mist showed a look of guilt and helplessness because of Veronica's questioning.
"Ronnie, I don't want to be this abomination, but since I died on the battlefield at the hands of the black-robed Otero twenty years ago, my soul has been imprisoned by the lich in the Zodiac Artifact Naraku Tome and lost my freedom forever When I woke up again, I had been transformed into a vampire by the Naraku Tome and had to become an accomplice of Otero against my will."
After listening to her uncle's story about her experience, Veronica learned that he did not really betray Parnia, but was coerced by the black-robed Great Lich and couldn't help herself, and felt deep sympathy for his situation, and asked with tears in her eyes, "Is there no way for you to get rid of Otero's control?"
"Ronnie, I'll answer this question for Mr.
Theodosi."
Thinking that his father's experience was the same as that of Theodosius, Roland's words couldn't help but carry a hint of bitterness: "If a person's soul is imprisoned by the Naraku Holy Codex, even if they use miracles or prayers, it is impossible to liberate them, and the only way to save them is to take the book from Otlo's hands, but the Zodiac Artifact such as the Naraku Holy Book only recognizes the owner of his choice, unless we try to kill Otro and destroy his life box, we can't open it even if we get the Naraku Holy Codex, Nor can it release the soul imprisoned in the book. ” "Roland is right, Otero firmly controls my soul through the Naraku Codex, just like a puppeteer manipulating a puppet with silk threads, and can force me to do something against my wishes at any time, even if I want to commit suicide, I can't do it, and after death, my soul will still not be able to escape the detention of the Naraku Codex, and will still be resurrected by Otero's spell and continue to act as his marionette."
"Ronnie, I don't want to be your enemy, but it's a pity that I can't help but kill me now is your only option, and it's a relief for me. ” Veronica was heartbroken when she heard this, and asked Roland with tears in her eyes: "Is there really no way?"
"Don't worry, Ronnie, in fact, Mr.
Theodosius has just said a stopgap measure.
If we send Mr.
Theodosius back to the cemetery, at least he doesn't have to work for Oterlo while he is dormant, we can also use this buffer period to try to find Oterlo's life box and completely destroy the black-robed Great Lich, so that Mr.
Theodosi's soul can be liberated. ” Roland's words eased Veronica's anxious mood somewhat, and at the same time made Theodosius see a glimmer of hope, and said to Roland and his niece with mixed feelings: "I originally wanted to stop you here, lest you go upstairs to die, but now it seems that I am too worried, unless Otlo rushes back to take charge of it himself, Tamara, Shalman, and Amartya alone will not be able to stop you from destroying the Wang Energy Transformation Machine, time is pressing, you should go upstairs as soon as possible." ” "But it doesn't matter to you," Veronica still couldn't reassure her uncle.
There was a chuckle from the blood mist, and Theodosius said lightly: "Send you away, I will return to the coffin to sleep, and there are Qiushui and Mingzhu to take care of me, there is nothing to worry about, I have a volume of domination here, and it is not much use to keep it for yourself, you give it to Roland for me, it can be regarded as repaying him for deliberately showing mercy to my subordinates in the battle just now, otherwise I would not have the opportunity to say this now." ” A cloud of air emerged from the blood mist, holding out a book that emitted magical fluctuations.
Veronica followed her uncle's instructions and took the book, turned around and handed it to Roland.
"Thank you, Mr.
Theodosius" Roland took the scroll with both hands and bowed respectfully to Theodosius.
The gift that Theodosius gave to Roland was not only extremely valuable, but also very suitable for Roland's needs, able to elevate his most important charismatic attribute to a new level.
System Prompt: Discovered the High Magical Curiosity Domination Volume 5 Appraisal Report: There is a mysterious magic in this tome that will guide you to be more persuasive and influential.
It will take at least forty-eight hours of meticulous study to fully grasp the knowledge in the book, after which you will gain a 5 talent bonus for your Charisma attribute Roland did not have time to study the Scroll of Domination, so he put it in his storage bag and thanked Theodosius once more, and then took his leave.
Outlaw could return to the Dagger Tower at any time, and time was pressing, so Theodosius didn't hold back, and ordered Qiushui and Mingzhu to escort Roland and his party, leaving the Scarlet Hall unimpeded as they had come.
Autumn water and Mingzhu lead everyone to the "wind ladder" leading to the top of the tower, and stop at the same time.
Qiushui raised his hand to prevent Veronica from opening the ladder door, and solemnly warned: "From here on, the environment of the dagger tower will change a lot, and the death energy transformation opportunity set at the top of the tower will greatly increase the concentration of negative energy, when you open the wind ladder, the legendary negative energy field will spread down the pipe from the upper floor, and any creature in it will continue to lose life, and the anti-death enchantment will not be able to resist, so you had better think clearly, if you can't resist the erosion of the legendary negative energy field, reluctantly going upstairs is equivalent to killing yourself." ” Veronica and the others did not learn of the existence of the "Legendary Negative Energy Field" until this time, and they were all silent, each thinking about a countermeasure to crack this deadly threat.
Roland already knew this, and asked Qiushui and Mingzhu quietly: "Have you ever climbed to the top of the Dagger Tower to observe the death energy transformation machine up close":
