25. Offerings (Part 2) -- Brothers for Feifei World [10/22]
The war in Hades Abyss is over.
The high lord was idle, but he did not remain idle for long. Visitors soon came to visit him, although not through normal means.
In the Dark Temple, the great lord who had just "pacified" the somewhat irritable Blood Matron was sitting in a secret room. In front of him, there was a small communicator made with Titan technology, and on top of the communicator
, there is a blue projection, and judging from the outline of the projection, it should be a guardian.
"So, you made a choice?"
The deep voice of Great Guardian Lai echoed in this secret room with excellent sound insulation:
"Are you on Hela's side?"
"No! You can't say that!"
The great lord, playing with a cigar in his hand, replied:
"Ms. Hela is now my subordinate. As a leader, I must find ways to satisfy certain wishes of my subordinates. Besides, I offered my kindness, but unfortunately Lord Odin refused rudely. You see, I also
There's no other choice, is there?"
"Well, at least you tried."
There was a hint of disappointment in Lai's voice, and he said:
"I have no reason or excuse to stop you, but with all due respect, the madness of Hela's child is not just because she suffered a terrible disaster. Her Val'kyr form is not perfect. Odin was furious.
Destroying her body and twisting her soul, there may have been some mistakes in the process. In short, there is something special in the core of Hela's thinking."
"I know!"
The great lord sat up straight and said to the guardian in front of him:
"I also walk the path of death. I know very well the transformation that death will bring to a soul. Hela's bloated and weird body is not the result of the blessing of death. The reason why she lost to me was also because of the death in her hands.
It's not pure, but another piece of news may explain this strange transformation. My wife accidentally found a weapon infected by the void in the previous battle, and that thing is within the scope of the Hades Abyss."
"so what?"
Lai asked back, and the high lord shook his head:
"So, before we are aware of it, the void has extended its tentacles into this world. I mean, in addition to those ancient gods, there are other movements at work in this world! Therefore, I want to entrust you with this task.
, while I am busy dealing with the feud between Odin and Hela, you may be able to search some corners of the world and communicate with Elune! This matter may not be simple."
"Well, I understand."
Lai replied seriously:
"I will personally preside over this matter. Also, what arrangements do you have for Hela?"
"She's sick, Len."
The high lord flicked his fingers, and a black flame lit the cigar in his hand. As the smoke rose, Tyrion whispered:
"The poor lady needs treatment, luckily"
"I've found a doctor for her!"
"Obviously, Ms. Hela, there are some signs of void distortion in your flesh and blood."
The Great Lich Anastarian Sunstrider stood on the edge of Hela's throne. He carefully observed the mass of flesh and blood specimens in front of him. It was the sample he had just obtained from Hela's tentacles, and he was in a very bad mood.
Lady Hela is suspended in the sea water next to the Archlich.
She originally didn't want to pay attention to this uninvited lich, but under Tyrion's instructions, she had to cooperate with the crazy behavior of this seemingly abnormal undead.
"Tell me, ma'am, have you heard any whispers from the souls over the past tens of thousands of years?"
The big lich pushed up his monocle and asked seriously:
"Or have you ever come into contact with something weird?"
"No!"
Hela was very irritable and answered impatiently:
"You are the doctor? Why are you asking me questions? Can you make a judgment? And, I don't think I am sick at all! I am very healthy!"
"Oh? Really?"
The big lich didn't care about Hela's irritability and impatience. He looked at the waving flesh and blood tentacles on Hela's lower body, and he shook his head:
"It seems that you are not aware of some very complicated situations. I heard that you followed the guardians on an expedition to the ancient gods and their servants hundreds of thousands of years ago?"
"Yes, so what?"
Hela seemed to be very resistant to recalling the past. She said dryly:
"But at that time, I hadn't been turned into what I am now by that damn waste of Odin! Damn it! The ancient gods had no chance of infecting me! I know what you want to say! Tentacles, flesh and blood distortion, indeed, these are all
It’s a sign of voiding, and I know this no less than you do! But my body deformation only happened after I was twisted into a Val’kyr!”
"Well, that's true."
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the great lich, and he said to Hela:
"But you seem to have forgotten something, Ms. Hela, the ancient gods are just the vanguard of the void, and the base camp of the void is in the shadow world. Your kingdom of shadow is located in the death world, but there is another name in the death world.
In some of the classics left by Titans, it is also called the "Shadow Realm". I don't think this is a coincidence, so Hela, I hope you can tell me honestly, what is the place adjacent to the Void Base Camp?
Have you ever come into contact with some weird things in the world! This is very important!"
Anastarian's statement made Hela somewhat silent. After more than ten seconds, she sighed and whispered:
"have!"
"Thousands of years ago, well, probably after the explosion of the Well of Eternity, there was an inexplicable wanderer in my Kingdom of Shadows. He claimed to be the lost one among the stars and knew many, many secrets. He was willing to
He works for me, and he is very knowledgeable about souls. According to what you said, maybe I was indeed calculated by him."
""who is he?"
The big lich asked, and Hela said reluctantly:
"Hablon, a weird guy who always wears a hood. I can occasionally see a twinkling starlight from under the hood. He is the navigator of my ghost ship Naqfar. He is the
I have served for thousands of years, but he has disappeared. Just a few days before you launched the attack, he disappeared inexplicably."
"Well, should I say you are easy to deceive, or should I say you are naive?"
Hearing the news, the Archlich felt a little regretful. He took off his monocle, waved his hand, and said to Hela in front of him:
"You don't need to worry about Habulon anymore. I will take over. Now it has been determined that part of your flesh and blood has been corrupted by the void, so you must abandon it!"
"What? You want me to abandon my body?"
Hela said angrily:
"My strength is based on the strength of my body. Although this body is ugly, its power is comparable to Tyrion. I can't abandon it!"
"Don't object yet!"
The great lich waved his hand to let Hela calm down:
"Abandoning the body is just the beginning, Ms. Hela, the Dark Blade Legion has dealt with many incidents of void infection. We have a complete and effective healing system. The void cannot only affect your body, your soul must be affected."
There are also distortions that belong to the void, so your soul also needs to be purified. Generally speaking, it is difficult for us to find a container that can carry such a huge soul like yours, but the great lord generously lent his magical "Soul Gathering Coffin", so you
There is still hope for your illness!"
"You need to place your soul in the soul-gathering coffin, and in the washing of the pure power of death of the Tree of Reincarnation, after 5-7 days of purification, the scars stained by the void in your soul will be completely washed away. In this process,
I will make a little "little" fine-tuning to your soul to make you wise and rational again. We also need a wise and rational commander."
"Of course, your current body needs to be destroyed, it cannot continue to exist, otherwise it is very likely to become a void carrier similar to the ancient gods! But don't worry, I just have a body that is suitable for you!
"
As he spoke, the Archlich waved his hand and opened the portal, pulled out a heavy sarcophagus from his laboratory in Karazhan, and then opened it in front of the skeptical Hela, revealing the golden body inside.
It's a body that belongs to the Val'kyr! And it's the original version of the golden Val'kyr!
The body has the illusory special appearance of the Val'kyr. The wearer has a complete golden battle helmet. A pair of wings like streams cover the body. You can also see two braids hanging on the chest. It looks like
The product of the Holy Light, but in fact, this beautiful body was made entirely for the special undead, and only the soul of Val'kyr can be perfectly integrated into it.
"Al! Traitor!"
When Hela saw the Val'kyr lying in the sarcophagus, she let out an angry exclamation. She subconsciously waved her claws to completely destroy the golden Val'kyr, but she was killed by the Archlich.
Stopped it.
"Calm down! Can't you feel it?"
Anastarian waved his fingers with some dissatisfaction, and used a ball of pure death energy to push aside Hela's claws. He said:
"Her soul is no longer in it! This is a very perfect test object. If it weren't for the proposal and request of the great lord, I would not have used it as the carrier of your soul. But then again, you Vargos
The shaping of the soul and the body in it is really strange. The soul and the body work together almost perfectly. If I hadn't read some information about you in Ulduar, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to complete the soul extraction work independently."
The words of the great lich immediately attracted Hela's attention. The irritable Queen of Hades blinked and asked:
"You mean, the soul of that bitch Al is in your hands now? Can you give it to me? I have some um, women's topics that I want to talk to this little bitch about."
"Well, I don't think this will work!"
The Archlich rejected Hela's proposal without much hesitation:
"The soul of this Golden Valkyr is a very important research material. I can feel that I can get a lot of secrets about the soul from this material. You may not understand it, but for pure researchers like us, no matter how hard it is,
Nothing is more important than a rare piece of research material."
"I'll get something in exchange!"
Hela was a little anxious and said anxiously:
"My treasure house is right there! You can pick whatever you want, or even move it all away! I only want this soul! I must get this soul!"
"After I was destroyed by Odin, this bitch El ignored my warnings and disasters, and voluntarily led other sea witches to join Odin's army. Not only did she betray me, she was also sentenced to the entire sea witch
Clan, she destroyed the only reason I called it home! I had to have her!"
Hela gritted her teeth, her extreme hatred almost beyond words, and she said in a deep voice:
"For this, I am willing to give everything!"
Hela's plea made the great lich fall into deep thought. He closed his eyes. After thinking for a few minutes, he said to Hela:
"Yes! I can give you Al's soul, but you have to do something for me."
"What's up?"
Hela asked. The great lich hesitated and whispered:
"I want you to help me find a special spirit in the entire world. Her name is Anveena. She is the pure soul condensed from the Sunwell of Quel'Thalas. I hope to find her. You are a god of death.
, this matter should be very simple for you."
"oh?"
Hela's voice became playful:
"I have heard about everything that happened in Quel'Thalas, but with all due respect, wouldn't Tyrion be willing to help you with such a thing? Or, you also have your own secrets. What do you want from your great lord?
, doesn’t seem that loyal.”
"This has nothing to do with loyalty, Ms. Hela."
The big lich said without changing his expression:
"Everyone has their own secrets. If you want to live happily in the Dark Blade system, the first thing you have to learn is not to try to find out other people's secrets. The tragedy of the previous Archlich has already shown
That’s the question, as for loyalty”
"Believe me, we all remain absolutely loyal to the great lord! Well, it's your turn to answer, are you willing to accept my friendship?"
A ray of golden soul was released from a bottle by the big lich. Hela took a deep breath and held the golden soul in her claws. A trace of violence flashed in her eyes, and the next moment, she let out a joyful cry.
sound.
"Of course! Lord Anastarian, I am willing to accept your friendship."
"And thank you very much for everything you have done for me, but before this "treatment" begins, I have a little question: Can I still catch up with the war between Dark Blade and Odin? I know, this question may not be appropriate.
Ask, but you also have to understand that I really don’t want to miss it!”
The big lich replied with a smile:
"Of course, I can understand, and please rest assured, Ms. Hela."
"You can definitely make it in time for the war, and I believe that the great lord will be very disappointed if you are absent!"
"So, don't think too much, follow the doctor's advice, and take good care of yourself. You will recover soon."
