With the previous experience of the wizard being backlashed, the two Sequence Seven Beyonders were extremely careful when inspecting the corpse. It was not until the smell of blood filled the tent that the wizard and the Keeper looked at each other. In the end, the Keeper
He opened his mouth and said:
"All the spiritual remnants of these corpses have disappeared."
"You mean, the soul was taken away?" Emond frowned. Soul is a very common consumable material in many evil rituals. But the next moment, the Keeper shook his head and said:
"It's not the soul, but the spiritual remnants, or traces... As you know, the non-material level of living beings can be roughly divided into spiritual body, astral body, mental body and etheric body. After death, the soul will be affected by the astral body.
Drawn by the body, it enters the spirit world, or is bound to the real world under extremely accidental circumstances and becomes an undead spirit such as an evil spirit, a resentful spirit or a ghost. However, when the soul leaves, the soul will still remain in the body.
Traces, this is the source of our ability to channel spirits, divination or return to the dead..."
"Ahem!" Seeing that the Keeper's occupational disease was about to break out, the Bishop of the Sun Church immediately coughed twice, interrupted his "occult teaching", and hinted with a murderous look that he was looking at Mr. Commander with an ugly face.
Before reaching the extreme, get to the point.
Seemingly being awakened by the sight of the Bishop, the Keeper immediately cleared his throat and concluded:
"In short, under normal circumstances, after a person dies, whether the soul goes to the spiritual world, is led to the kingdom of gods, or simply turns into an evil spirit, traces of the soul will remain in the body, although actions such as divination may accelerate
The spirit dissipates, but it still needs a process. At present, the death time of these corpses will not exceed ten minutes, but when they are brought from their doors to this camp, the remnants of their spirits have completely disappeared."
"What is the use of these spiritual remnants? Is the circle they drew on the map just to collect spiritual remnants?" Emond is not very interested in whether the disappeared souls or spiritual remnants are. He just wants to know, these disappeared
Where will spirituality be used, and what is this circle on the map?
"It shouldn't be, or it should be exactly the opposite. These disappearing spirits are to build this circle." The wizard said in an uncertain tone, and then pointed to several corpses on the ground -
"This is a simple matter of sequence. The opponent starts fighting first, and the circle is formed later, but the spirit of the corpse is gone. As for the use of the spirit... there are too many, channeling, divination, sacrifice, as energy,
Even forging extraordinary weapons and making spells, in a sense, the spiritual remnants themselves are excellent spiritual materials, and anything that is on the side of occultism is possible."
As Edmund listened to the other party's answer, his expression became increasingly uglier. Finally, it was the bishop of the Church of Steam and Machinery who spoke:
"Mr. Commander, although spiritual remnants have many uses, they are also very fragile and difficult to preserve resources. If they are the spirituality of extraordinary people, that's it. But most of these soldiers are ordinary people. Even if they are alive and are affected by extraordinary hunters,
With the addition of their abilities, their spirits are only at the level of ordinary people."
"This kind of spirituality itself has little use value. The cost of solving their conflicting problems exceeds the value of the material itself. From the perspective of building equipment, the spiritual energy of tens of thousands of ordinary people is probably worth more than
Not a single fish-man, but considering this is a battlefield, what the enemy needs is probably not the spirit, but what comes with the spirit."
"Don't be shy with me. I don't want to know the specific principles. Just tell me the answer." Edmund was given a headache by this group of academics. The more anxious he became, the longer these people talked.
.
Seeing the obvious impatience in Edmund's tone, the bishop of the Mechanical Church immediately threw away the draft and said directly:
"It's emotions, just like the criminal path completes the ritual by killing ordinary people. Ordinary people themselves have no meaning, but the extraordinary people in the criminal path can absorb negative emotions such as resentment and fear when ordinary people die. If the enemy's target
If it’s these emotions, then everything makes sense.”
Having said this, the bishop of the Mechanical Church suddenly turned pale, as if he finally realized something, and cold sweat started to flow from his forehead.
Not only him, but the Keepers and Wizards also realized the crux of the problem, with panic inevitably showing on their faces.
Edmond had not reacted at first, but when he saw the pale faces of these three people, he finally understood something. He once again turned his attention to the circle and said in a slightly trembling tone:
"A bloody sacrifice that uses a lot of extreme emotions? They collect emotions not only from the dead, but also from everyone in the circle?"
Although his tone was questioning, Edmund already had an answer in his heart. After all, the one who carried out this mission was the Iron Cross who followed the supernatural form on earth!
And what the Iron Cross believes in is exactly...
True Creator!
"This is a divine descending ceremony!
!”
The bishop of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun revealed everyone's speculations, but it was already impossible to end it.
After all, the war has begun. Even if Intis withdraws his troops now, it will only make the sacrifice of this super large sacrifice change from resentment and fear to incomprehension, unwillingness and confusion.
Moreover, Intis's withdrawal is basically equivalent to Lundborg's march in. When the army passes by, the resentment of the people will probably be more terrifying than the emotions caused by the battle between the two armies.
At this moment, Edmund finally felt a trace of regret. He never imagined that the border people, whom he had never considered as human beings, would now become a hemp rope tightening around his neck.
However, fortunately, it is the true Creator.
A sudden thought came into Edmund's mind. He focused his gaze on the Bishop of the Eternal Sun Church. The other party noticed the focused eyes and understood what he meant, and he immediately said:
"Mr. Commander, I'm going to send a telegram to the headquarters now to ask for help. I won't stay any longer."
"Yes." Edmond Sauron nodded, finally feeling a little more relaxed. The Eternal Blazing Sun is a mortal enemy of the True Creator, as is the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. Now in the war with the Church of Knowledge and Wisdom,
There is a ritual that is suspected to be the descent of the true Creator. No matter how reluctant the Eternal Sun Church is, they will definitely send someone over.
He watched the bishop of the Eternal Sun Church leave in a hurry with the Keeper of Knowledge, and then turned his attention to the bishop of the Church of Steam and Machinery:
"Mr. Bishop, in your opinion, how long does this ceremony take to complete?"
"I don't know." The bishop of the Mechanical Church was thinking about how to find an excuse to escape. When Emond shouted this, he immediately spit out the all-powerful answer——
"Our Church of Steam and Machinery has been established for a relatively short period of time, and we don't know much about the Evil God, the True Creator. However, this matter must be reported to the headquarters, so I will take my leave first."
As he spoke, he gave the wizard a look without waiting for Edmund Soren's permission, and the two of them hurried toward the door. However, Comfort was afraid that Edmund would stop him again, so he turned around and said -
—
"But the sacrifice must be linked to the quantity. The more people die on the battlefield, the faster the ceremony will be completed."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them disappeared into the camp.
As a demigod, Edmund was too lazy to pay attention to the rudeness of these two middle orders. At this time, he had opened his thinking network to the maximum and issued orders to every Sauron family member who was directly connected with his thinking——
"All ceremonies are temporarily suspended, and reducing casualties is the first priority. The direct family members have returned to Saden City and are ready to evacuate at any time."
