Volume 3 Blood and Fire Chapter 220 Dreamland (Part 1)
As Catherine was taken away, Helen's body returned to normal, and the maids and guards beside her also regained their clarity.
To them, nothing happened just now, they were just in a daze.
"Then, dear Your Highness Catherine, I have finished today's class. I will need you to find a teacher in the future. The Master of Versailles is in Wadenhof at the moment." Helen said.
"But I heard that the Master of Versailles would not serve the powerful easily." Catherine said in a pretentious tone.
Helen smiled and said: "This master usually doesn't seek fame and reputation. He is all pretending. As the person with the pinnacle of power in the Toril continent, he is eager to be your personal teacher. He just needs you to act like a courteous corporal.
"
"Haha, this sanctimonious guy..."
The conversation between the two did not make the maids and guards aware of anything unusual. Even Queen Catherine's usual tone of voice and habitual movements were perfectly imitated and her behavior was natural.
This time the soul seizure was very successful. Helen completely erased all traces of Catherine's existence in the soul realm, and swallowed up all the secrets engraved in her soul such as her memories, instincts, habits, etc. for more than 20 years.
However, because she had just lost her body, Catherine's soul was in a very bad state, and she still needed to use secret methods to rest for a period of time. During this period, she needed the Mansis School to provide her with blood energy. At the same time, she also needed to digest Catherine's memory, and in her behavior and subconscious mind
Closer to the original Catherine.
In fact, there are many restrictions on the use of the method of seizing the body.
First of all, the strength of the person whose body is taken away cannot be stronger than that of the person who takes his body, and the weaker the person whose body is taken away, the better.
Furthermore, generally after a body is taken away, one cannot perfectly swallow or directly replace the soul of the person whose body has been taken away, and can easily occupy his body. Even his own soul will be affected by the strong resistance of the person whose body was taken away.
Soul trauma.
Moreover, sometimes the seizure is not perfect, and it is easy for close people to discover the clues, which can lead to endless troubles.
But the Mensis School made complete preparations for this action, including intentionally or unintentionally promoting Queen Catherine's interest in art, and at the same time gaining control of key figures in the palace through bribery and secret casting, and arranging everything that seemed reasonable.
coincide......
This cost the Mensis School a lot of energy and resources, and in the end they had to erase the existence of all people and things contaminated with fate and cause and effect.
The greatest expense was undoubtedly the plane of an abyss fragment held by the Mensis School, and the lives of tens of thousands of otherworldly creatures were sacrificed at the same time, just so that Helen could successfully seize the body in the most perfect way.
Now it seems that Seizing the Body is perfect.
All the costs spent are worth it, it just depends on how you slowly use this trump card in the future.
After a while of greetings, Catherine personally sent Helen's empty body out of the palace, got into a carriage arranged in advance, and drove away from the imperial capital Wadenhof, heading straight for the Sirel Empire.
Naturally, people from the Mensis School would come to recover Helen's body and erase all traces of it.
From then on, there was no Helen in the world, only Queen Catherine.
"How is it?" Peter I asked Catherine. He did not send Helen off. What he needed was not tenderness, but iron blood.
"What a strange woman, it's a pity..." Catherine's expression and words did not make Peter I notice anything unusual.
"Yes, Helen's magic power is actually very strong. If the organization behind her was not too mysterious and uncontrollable, I would..."
"What are you going to do? Take her in?" Catherine covered her mouth with a folding fan and chuckled.
Peter I did not hear any displeasure in Catherine's tone, so he felt relieved, put his arms around Catherine's slender waist, hugged her, and said: "How could it be? You are the only one in my heart!"
Even though Catherine knew in her heart that Peter I was just acting on occasion and saying what he said to whomever he met, she still couldn't help but feel sad in her heart: Has all her previous efforts been in vain?
"What's wrong with you?" Feeling the strangeness of his lover in his arms, Peter I asked.
"Nothing." Catherine immediately replied as usual, "It's just a little emotional. When you were just a prince, no one thought that we would be where we are today. Thank you, Peter."
Peter I did not speak, but with just a kiss, Catherine (Helen)'s sentimentality disappeared...
endless sea
Standing on the bridge, the Benelli Islands are receding behind the "Pearl Goddess", and in front of you is the boundless sea.
Even if you have seen the holy mountains, the endless sea in front of you will still make you feel insignificant.
Eloise stood facing the sea breeze, playing with the Ring of the Lake Lady in her hand.
This ring, Ilosu, is only used as a storage space. The effect of converting energy attributes has been steadily improved as Richard's strength has steadily improved, and the opportunities to use it have become less and less. Many times, Ilosu simply does not remember it.
Use it if you can't get up.
Because Yiluosi's fighting spirit at this moment has completely transformed into purgatory fighting spirit.
The body also has most of the characteristics that are not human, and is transforming into a devil, or a fallen angel to be precise.
Maybe one day, Elos will lose the qualification to be born as a human being.
At the same time, Ilosu also took out the soul disaster coin that was given to him three times and played with it.
Somehow, this extremely evil disaster coin is so beautiful in Iloth right now.
As long as this calamity coin is still with him, Eloise will feel inexplicably at ease.
It seemed that at the last moment, he still had a way out. Having hope and having no hope were completely different states of mind. No matter how slim the hope was, it was still hope.
This is the feeling that fate is in one's own hands. Elos now understands what he wants to do and what he wants.
After such a long time of wandering and not being able to say that I was enjoying my trip, the more I saw, the more I discovered how vast the world is, and at the same time, the same must be true for the dark side of the world.
Elos has long realized that in this vast world, not only does there exist an unrivaled supreme existence in this plane, but in other worlds, his own plane can be considered insignificant.
Abyss, Hell, Heavenly Mountain, Sigil City, Demon Realm...
In comparison, I am too small.
Perhaps the possibility of eventually taking revenge on the Holy Church is almost zero, because behind the Holy Church is the most powerful god in this plane.
But Eloise doesn't care about the result now. This is something that he must do no matter what, even if he fails in the end, just like his father Handel, he will still fight hard.
For a moment, Eloise was in a daze...
dark.
Absolute darkness.
Eloise looked around blankly, but couldn't see anything.
Wasn't he just sighing about the future on the bow of the ship? How could he suddenly fall into such a place?
He reached out to touch it, but there was nothing everywhere.
He squatted down and touched the ground under his feet. The ground was soft and sticky to the touch, and there seemed to be semi-solidified liquid slowly flowing. His fingertips also touched small pieces of greasy and soft pieces.
piece.
There is no light here, and Elos's fighting spirit and mental strength are also empty, so he has no way to judge what these fragments are.
But his sense of smell was still there, and he could only feel that there was an overwhelming stench and blood everywhere in this strange space. What was strange to him was that occasionally, the wind would send a wisp of scent that would cheer him up.
Fresh fragrance.
This scent seemed familiar, and Eloise always felt that he had smelled it somewhere before, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not remember it.
At this time, a light suddenly appeared in the distance. Elos hesitated for a moment, but it seemed that there was the only way to unlock the secret of this dark space. He finally walked towards the light.
At first, Elos had some doubts that this was the domain of the Lord of the Abyss or the Lord of Hell, but he immediately knew that it was not.
The breath here was completely different from the devil and the devil's breath he sensed. There was too much blood and other smells here, while the kingdom of the Lord of Darkness only had darkness and nothingness.
