Ash thought Varkas had something to tell him, but he didn't expect to be asked back. However, Ash did have a lot of information he wanted to know: "Start after you die?"
Varkas didn't seem to have any thoughts of keeping it secret, and said calmly: "After being killed by the Titan Executioner, my soul left my body and fell downwards under the pull of gravity."
"It's like sinking into the deep sea, floating and falling unconsciously. But there are filters in the deep sea. When the soul flows into the filter, many impurities will be filtered out, and then my soul can continue to fall. After six layers of filters
, I came to the continent of time, constantly rolling up and down, without even the birth of self-awareness."
"But 72 hours after death, a drop of blood in my soul began to explode and spread, restraining me and activating my consciousness at the same time."
Varkas opened his black robe, revealing the blood lotus on his collarbone.
For some reason, this blood lotus didn't feel like a tattoo to Ash, but instead seemed to bloom from inside the body. Harvey had introduced him to it many times... corpse spots.
"Then I became the Tombkeeper Commander of the Blood Tomb."
Ash blinked: "Wait a minute, where did that drop of blood in your soul come from? Why is there blood in your soul?"
"I don't know, I just know that this drop of blood should have been implanted in Broken Lake Prison. In other words, all the redeemed people who died in the Blood Moon Trial must have blood seeds in their souls."
Varkas said: "After I became the commander, I also understood the mystery. After we, the Blood Moon death row prisoners, die for more than seventy-two hours, the blood will explode in our souls. If we are found
With the commander talent, the vampire will directly activate our consciousness and let us become the tomb-keeper commander."
She paused: "All gravekeepers are born this way."
Commander’s screening mechanism!
Ash immediately understood the intention of the Lord of the Blood Moon - the Blood Moon Trial is not only a cathartic show for the people, a guillotine to intimidate criminals, but also an interview site for the Lord of the Blood Moon!
In fact, Ash had discussed with Jian Ji and the others before how the Lord of God picked out the commander he needed. After all, two-winged magicians died every day, so it was impossible for the Lord of God to test it himself, and according to Ash and the others' guess, the Commander
The birth of the city will probably consume a certain amount of resources, and there is no way to break out the troops. Otherwise, the Time Continent would have been blocked by the Heroic Soul Commanders and turned into a subway line-changing station.
Therefore, the God Lord must develop an efficient screening mechanism to obtain a commander who can grow up with as little time and investment as possible. At that time, Ash and the others believed that the most likely way for the God Lord was to use the miracles of the prophecy faction to directly select
Create a magician projection with commander potential.
It’s normal for magicians not to predict factions, but it’s impossible for the God Lord to not be able to predict factions, right?
But I don’t know whether he doesn’t know how to predict the factions or whether he finds it more effective. The Blood Moon Extreme Master uses a wonderful screening method - the Blood Moon Trial!
The threshold for entering the Blood Moon Trial is actually very high. After all, a redeemed person who can be voted for execution by the people does not qualify just by killing a few people. He or she must at least stand on the opposite side of the vast majority of people. For example, a cult leader like Asher who is full of evil deeds.
Or maybe they are high-ranking conspirators like Fei Nanxue, and these people are the most likely group to have commander talents.
As long as you plant blood seeds on them during the Blood Moon Trial, after they die, they will automatically awaken as commanders in the virtual realm.
The Blood Moon Master does not need to bother with the entire process, but the backup commanders themselves will continuously become the talent reserve of the Blood Tomb. Asher no longer knows whether the Blood Moon Trial was established to screen commanders, or whether the Blood Moon Trial was established.
After the Moon Trial, I discovered that this turned out to be the best talent market. Anyway, in the Blood Moon Kingdom, which can be called an industrialized system, death has become a part of production.
The dead must serve the living, not the other way around... Blood Moon is indeed the necromancer's shrine that Harvey loves and hates!
"Then after becoming a tomb keeper, do you still have memories?"
"Yes." Varcas nodded: "But I only have memories left. Hell has washed away all my emotions."
"What does that feel like?" Ash was very curious. There is no living person who is not curious about death.
“My memory is equivalent to a book,” Varcas said. “There are all kinds of stories written in the first person. Although I can read these stories at any time, they are just stories to me.
, I have never entered a book."
"Angry, happy, sad, moved...these words cannot touch my soul at all. My soul is empty," she pointed to her chest: "I have no heartbeat and cannot understand everything in my memory, but we are...
It is a consciousness born from memory, so our commander’s only wish is to accumulate meritorious service, ask God to retrieve our soul fragments from hell, and regain our heartbeat.”
"As long as I have more soul fragments, I can understand a little more memory. When I collect all the soul fragments..."
Ash: "You will be resurrected?"
"I don't know." Varcas shook his head: "I don't care. We have no other desire except to understand the memory."
Ash breathed out a filthy breath. Even he would find it difficult to resist the temptation of 'resurrection'. Although this road is also extremely difficult, there is at least some hope.
He was even thinking about whether he should find a way to do something big in reality. Even if he died, he might be reincarnated as a commander and make a comeback in the Time Continent.
However... from reality to the virtual realm, from survival to death, Ya Xiu discovered that they had never left the control of the God Lord. Even if he had not heard any teachings about the God Lord, he could still vaguely understand the thoughts of different God Lords. Blood Moon's
'Selfishness' and 'listening' to the gospel influence all people in society from all aspects, and then give rise to different social waves.
The power of the God Lord does not reflect the intimidation of power, but lies in the practice of will. No matter whether the magician is stupid or smart, rebellious or loyal, in the end he will involuntarily implement the God Lord's will and become a force that promotes social change.
"Take it."
Ash raised his head and hurriedly caught the magic spirit and the map.
"Hand-drawn map of Varcas"
"Spiritualism"
When Ya Xiu opened the virtual map, the system immediately popped up a prompt "Map information has been updated."
However, compared with De Milo's map of Star Hall, which covered one-sixth of the area, Valkas's map was obviously much poorer. It only recorded one-twelfth of the area of the Time Continent. Maybe it was because she had just
Only a few days after joining the company, I still haven’t figured out the local terrain of Blood Tomb Company.
The most conspicuous thing about the new map is the three main cities of the Blood Tomb. Ash found that the main city of the Blood Tomb was one less than Hoshitang, so he asked why. Varkas replied: "Hoshitang was the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms last time.
The winner, so its main city has the most. If nothing unexpected happens, Xingtang will become the target of the five major forces this time."
"What is the Grand Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms?"
"A great melee occurs every fifty years. I don't know the reason for the war. I only know that it will definitely happen. A large number of souls, followers and even commanders will disappear in this war until the final winner is decided.
"
Fifty years... Hearing this familiar time interval, Ya Xiu's heart moved: "How long will it be until the next Six Kingdoms Grand Prime Ministership?"
"It's coming soon." Varcas said, "Calculated in real time, there are about seventy days left."
...
...
The first level of virtual realm, the sea of knowledge.
A small bat flew in and out of the white mist. She suddenly noticed something and flew straight to the area on the right. Soon, an island appeared in front of her, and there was an orc gunsmith on the island.
When the bat turned into a humanoid and landed on the ground, the orc magician immediately armed his heavy sniper and tried to kill the intruder with heavy firepower. However, the intruder just raised his hand slightly, and then the orc magician stiffened and a flower
Then a blood flower appeared on his body, but it did not penetrate the skin. It looked bright and disgusting.
Snapped.
Like the sound of a pustule bursting, the orc magician exploded into a firework and disappeared, leaving behind the magic spirit and the magician's manual.
"Does the necromancy miracle have to be so disgusting...?"
Although this was not the first time, it was still difficult for Shiffrin to accept this scene - even though she was a member of the Blood Saint clan but majored in the blood arts faction, she could not understand the necromancers' love for corpse spots.
Shiffrin just used only one magic spirit to instantly kill the orc magician's projection. This magic spirit is a benefit that every blood saint can get - the 'Flower of Death'.
The 'Flower of Death' has only one effect, activating soul blood seeds within ten meters. Once activated successfully, the blood seeds will kill the possessed person, allowing the blood moon magician to win effortlessly.
The creators of the Soul Blood Seed are none other than the Blood Saints. In other words, the so-called Soul Blood Seed is actually a by-product of the Blood Saints’ ‘Blood Embracing Ceremony’.
In the 'Blood Embrace Ritual', the Blood Saints need to disguise themselves as healers, lurk in the prison, and bury their own soul blood in the body of the condemned prisoner they choose. When the condemned prisoner dies in the Blood Moon Judgment, his magic power will be
After all the soul blood is absorbed, the blood saints take back the soul blood and turn it into the nourishment of their own source blood.
But because the souls of the Blood Saints are integrated with the blood, the soul blood can still invade into the souls of the condemned prisoners. When the condemned prisoners are alive, their strong souls are enough to prevent the penetration of the soul blood, but in the Blood Moon Trial, the soul blood will still penetrate into the souls of the condemned prisoners.
Blood has been strengthened as never before, and the soul of a condemned prisoner will stagnate when he dies. Therefore, the soul blood will penetrate into the soul of the condemned prisoner like a centipede and grow rapidly until it grows into a 'blood species'.
Even in the virtual realm, the blood saint magicians can smell the blood within 100 meters. As long as they use the "Death Flower" magic spirit, they can easily kill the projections of these magicians harboring blood.
Although this kind of magician's projection is just a drop in the ocean when placed in the virtual realm, the core blood saints fly very fast in the virtual realm. Coupled with the accumulation of blood moon trials for so many years, Shiffrin has encountered it three or four times so far.
It is considered an exclusive benefit for the Blood Saint Clan.
When you are alive, you are the fuel of society and our material; after you die, you are the fertilizer of the virtual world and our nourishment.
After living in Blood Moon for so many years, Shiffrin still finds it difficult to accept this kind of value: everything has a clear price tag, all props should be put into reproduction, and the so-called added value of emotion, commemoration, meaning, etc. will not be recognized, draining life.
The last bit of value is the greatest respect for life... This extreme pursuit of the best interests makes Shiffrin, who likes traveling, taking pictures, poker and flower-cutting and other meaningless entertainments, very tired.
'Speaking of which, Ash is already living in another country now... What kind of country is it? What races are there? What are its characteristics? Is there such feudal dross as blood relationship? Do the gods there care for the world?'
Fulin was thinking wildly while packing up the loot, turned into a little bat again, and continued to explore the virtual realm.
Gudong.
The little bat hovered in the air, and its ultrasound detected a strange vortex sound in the sea next to her.
swirl?
Shiffrin's silver wings have been condensed long ago, and now she is waiting for the blood magic faction to be promoted to the gold level and promoted to the second wing. However, she has been in the Sea of Knowledge for several months and has not seen a whirlpool, so she flew over to see the world.
Just when the little bat was about to fly into the whirlpool, she happened to see a small boat emerging from the whirlpool. She couldn't dodge it at all, and she directly fought with the people on the boat!
"Huh? I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I?"
The little bat flapped its wings and found itself being held in the arms of a Veela magician.
