Researching curse magic is not an easy task. His Majesty Cohen spent a lot of effort in a short period of time, and his face was exhausted. The elder of the Dragon Clan who was also studying along the way, his mental state was almost the same as that of poor Majesty Cohen. In addition,
When he intercepted and killed the cursed magician some time ago, he forcibly used soul extraction magic, which made an old man extremely weak... One was the most tired emperor in history, and the other was the most tired dragon elder in history. As soon as they met, they let the man next to him
Bai Ying was heartbroken.
Others didn't know about Cohen's magical theoretical attainments, but the elders of the dragon clan knew enough about it, so they asked the previous cavalry to bring back some of the information for His Majesty to study, while leaving the other part of the information for his own research. The first thing the two parties did when they met was to share their respective information.
Take out the research results for comparison - this is a very important step, because the curse information obtained is missing, and many links need to be inferred based on circumstantial evidence. Any small oversight will cause irreparable results. What is gratifying is that
, the results of the comparison are consistent, and the only few differences are within everyone's acceptance range, and a consensus of opinion can be quickly reached.
"Only the curse magic circle needs to be modified for the part I'm responsible for, but it can be completed soon. Don't worry about it." After putting down the scroll in his hand, His Majesty Cohen rubbed his head and asked, "What other problems do you have over there?"
"Although this is difficult to say, I have to say that the only problem at present is also the most important link. We lack a suitable interpreter." The Dragon Clan elder smiled bitterly and answered in a hoarse voice, "Originally
I thought I could find such a magician among the dragons or elves, but before entering the Holy City, I noticed the essential problem. If we use ordinary magicians, this magic will fail... because as a releaser of the path of evil spirits
Dharma Master, he is definitely a very special individual existence."
"A very special existence?" His Majesty Cohen's already relaxed brows knitted together involuntarily.
"Your Majesty, think about it, who would usually use such a vicious magic on? And what purpose is it intended to achieve?" The elder of the dragon clan looked at Cohen, and his originally worried and apologetic eyes became more complicated, "
What is the original intention behind the emergence of the second branch of curse magic? It seems that sacrificing others is more beneficial than sacrificing oneself, but the method is more than a hundred times more complicated? Combined with the strange whereabouts of these curse magicians, Your Majesty
Don’t you think there is an article in it?”
"In this case, it is necessary to investigate. The elder of the Dragon Clan means to start with the Dharma Interpreter..." His Majesty Cohen stood up and walked slowly while thinking about it.
Their conversation made Bai Ying on the side deeply confused, but looking at the serious expressions of both Cohen and the elder, Bai Ying, who felt that he had a deep knowledge of magic, did not dare to ask or give suggestions. In the blink of an eye, Bai Ying's eyes
Cohen had already taken three steps, and then the Sbia emperor stood still, turned around, and spoke.
"I understand, these scum are desperately studying the second branch not because they care about their own lives." His Majesty Cohen looked at the dragon clan elders and slowly expressed his judgment, "but because no matter how thoroughly they sacrifice themselves, they will get
There is also a limit to the energy that can be obtained, but by using the sacrifice of a third party, there is no upper limit to the energy that can be gained."
"Your Majesty has the same idea as me." The elder of the dragon clan slapped the table, "I originally thought that the 'half-dead man' describing the spellcaster was just a metaphor, but now it seems that it specifically refers to a type of curse magician. It is absolutely impossible to
Replace it with an ordinary magician!"
"If it is really what we think, then other magicians who come to release the curse are doomed to fail." Cohen said in confusion: "The time in front of us is so tight, where are we going to find this half-dead man?"
"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. There is a solution to every problem. It just depends on whether we are willing to work hard. Besides, magic is what we are best at, and nothing can be changed from its origin." The elders of the Dragon Clan quickly comforted Emperor Sibia, "The most important thing now is
The goal is to deduce the type of target to be dealt with from the curse itself, then work backwards to deduce the abilities that the interpreter should have, and finally determine the replacement candidate."
"Yes!" Nodding, Cohen sat down again, "Since the elder has thought of this issue, he should have some ideas, right?"
"Of course I have no problem with simply dealing with magic." The dragon clan elder spread his hands, "But determining the target and then researching the appropriate magic is more like what a superior person does. Only His Majesty's thinking can be compared with this kind of person.
approximate……"
"I understand. What the elder means is that people who study such vicious curses are lunatics. Only a lunatic like me can guess their thoughts, right?" As he spoke, Cohen had entered the role and pointed his fingers.
He tapped slowly on the table, his eyes wandering.
The dragon clan elder and Bai Ying stared closely at Cohen's face, fearing that they would miss any tiny part.
"... There is already a first branch, why do we need to develop a second branch? Obviously, this is because the first branch cannot meet their requirements... They are pursuing more significant effects and dealing with more powerful
The opponent." There was silence all around, except for the voice of His Majesty Cohen asking and answering questions. "It takes nearly a thousand people to fight a princess, tens of thousands of people to fight a master, more than 100,000 people to fight a top master... It takes a considerable number of sacrifices.
The easiest way is to do it on the battlefield... If you are willing to spend thousands of years studying it, what you want to deal with is obviously not an ordinary target... and the target cannot be too far from the victim. The most appropriate method is to use a battle
War is used to attract the target's attention. If there are enough victims, the target will come by itself..."
"God...God...the battle between gods and demons..." Bai Ying's voice rang out. Although she suppressed the voice very low, it was no less than a thunder to Cohen who was thinking hard, "They are going to
What we are dealing with is…”
"Shh." Cohen, who woke up after being reminded by Bai Ying, immediately signaled her to silence, then nodded, gave a look of approval and gratitude, and then turned to look at the elder of the Dragon Clan, "Does the elder think this is the case?
"
"I agree with your majesty's conclusion." The dragon clan elder put his hands together as if he was calculating something in his mind, "please continue, your majesty."
"The rest is relatively simple. Because the target is too powerful, so while hurting the opponent, you must use devouring means to seize the target's ability to improve yourself. If you cannot defeat the target after the curse, everything you have done before will be
It's meaningless." Cohen slammed the table, "Using millions of souls to swallow the target in an instant does not give the target time to react. The focus of this move is to snatch abilities, not to harm the target itself.
!So!So…”
"So, the half-dead man should not be a curse magician, but a powerful person with both magic and martial arts skills, because he not only has the responsibility of interpreting magic, but also has the responsibility of fighting the target later!" The elder of the dragon clan added Cohen's words.
He took it and said, "It is very possible that the half-dead man only learned this curse magic and has no actual ability. He wants to free up his body and prepare to accept the huge ability of the snatched target! In a certain sense
Strictly speaking, he is a container!"
"Obviously, the energy of the target is very huge, and it conflicts with its own abilities." Cohen nodded and added his own thoughts, "In order to expand his capacity as much as possible, he will actively weaken his own abilities, and even
He only retains the ability that is just enough to keep him from dying... Usually it seems that this Dharma interpreter is a half-dead person!"
"But there is a key issue. After receiving the ability, this half-dead man will immediately go into battle without any chance to breathe. Then he must have extremely high fighting skills and magic knowledge. Although the process is very difficult and dangerous, and there are many details
, but this can be achieved using the method of soul infusion..." At this point, the Dragon Clan elder couldn't help but sigh, "This is such a huge magic research project! The links are so complex and the cooperation is so close that it is almost unprecedented thinking.
Creation...For a long time, the Dragon Clan thought that they were powerful and had profound magic, but they didn't expect that they were fundamentally lagging behind."
"I don't care what kind of thinking is pioneering, and I don't care whether it's backward or advanced. All I want now is to save people." His Majesty Cohen snorted, "We now at least know that this curse is mainly cast through the external environment, and the half-dead person is just a trigger."
The character who curses and then receives the ability does not require much cultivation of curse magic... This creates conditions for us to save people."
"Now, we have all the conditions, except for a half-dead person responsible for interpreting the spell. This is the curse incantation I recovered on the road. It has been verified and there is no problem." The dragon clan elder looked at the scroll in his hand.
, it is extremely difficult to accept the ending before us, "There is no doubt that if we let the people we previously selected to release the evil spirits, the only result will be failure."
"Although half-dead people are valuable, hehe, they are not that hard to find." His Majesty Cohen stretched out his hand coldly, "Give me the scroll."
"Does your Majesty already have a candidate in mind? Who is it?" The dragon clan elder looked back at Cohen in surprise.
"There are many things in this world that I don't know but the elders know. In the same way, there are also many things that I know but the elders don't know." His Majesty Cohen took the wax-sealed scroll and stood up, "I want to leave for a while.
Meeting, elder, you go and supervise the preparation work. Bai Ying gave the order, I will hold a meeting at the royal council building tonight to discuss this matter and let the relevant people make preparations."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Ying nodded in agreement, and then asked again, "Who are you going to invite to participate?"
"This matter has reached this point and has become an important matter for the empire. Let the members of the direct royal family and the most important generals and ministers come!" Cohen stopped and thought about it, "If the curse tonight is successful, everything will be fine. If
If something goes wrong accidentally, I can't do it alone, and I need these people to clean up the mess."
"Your Majesty, please be calm and calm." The dragon clan elder said: "All creatures are rushing to be first, but the right to choose is only in the hand of fate."
"Elder, do you believe in fate?" His Majesty Cohen showed an indifferent smile on his haggard face, "I don't believe it!"
While the elders of the dragon clan were supervising the preparations for the curse and Bai Ying was conveying the emperor's orders to the members of the royal family, Emperor Sbia himself embarked on a path that had not been traveled for a long time and came to a courtyard closely guarded by the elders of the elves. Your Majesty first
Ask the elders to retreat, then walk to the door with slow steps, reach out and slowly open the hall door.
The hall door has only been opened a small crack, but it has already caused the air in the hall to flow and settle. The cold air accumulated near the ground was wrapped in white mist and rushed out impatiently.
"I haven't been here for a while, and this is how you welcome me?" Cohen closed the door, stepped into the hall, and spoke in a rare joking tone, "Okay! For the sake of you being alone all the time,
, I will forgive you this time."
There is nothing in the empty hall, except for a huge magic crystal standing in the center. The cold air in the hall is emitted from the surface of this entire magic crystal. In the middle of the crystal clear magic crystal,
It is a handsome blond young man who is "sleeping" upright. Although his eyes are closed, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still reveal a clear smile.
"As a promising young man with ideals and ambitions, I will definitely not come around for nothing." Cohen got closer and closer, and finally, he simply circled around the magic crystal, "The thing is like this
, your little princess Riva was cursed, which is very unpleasant, but what makes me even more unhappy is that she fell in front of my eyes... Of course, with my efforts,
She will be fine..."
"Let's be frank! I didn't tell you this a few days ago because I didn't find a solution and it was a bit embarrassing." Cohen chuckled, "Think about it, being caught in the middle by gods and demons, with a puppet on the left.
, the puppet on the right really wanted to risk his life and slash wildly with his knife. Although it would not help, it would still make him happy... But then I thought about it, I can't do this. Why? Because I have already done this with my tail between my legs.
How can you, a docile citizen who has been here for a long time, come back without paying some price? So, I endured it."
"I have found a way to save your little princess. In comparison, the current method is already the least cost-effective. In fact, I knew early on that this matter would not be so easy to end. What will the God and Demon Princess give me if she takes action in person?
Good fruit to eat?" Cohen sat on the floor and leaned his upper body on the magic crystal. "A half-dead man, isn't this just naming my young master?
Who else in Sibia understands the tricks of snatching and accommodating capacity better than me? Who else is more proficient in magic theory than me when magic is commonplace? Who else... understands death better than me?
A half-dead person? I have really died—twice!"
"A few days ago, Feilin ordered the requisition of magic crystals, but what's the use? Your body is preserved because your soul is stored in it, but it no longer has the ability to store the soul of the little princess."
At this point, Cohen sighed, "With Marshmallow's temper, you probably already know everything about my origins. Maybe Marshmallow will give you a thorough sharing. It feels like having you know all the details."
It’s not very pleasant... However, if you don’t keep your word, you must always do what you promise, or in this case, the meaning of fulfilling your promise to you is not that strong, I am just resisting the gods and demons.”
"It's not that this young master is irresponsible and wants to put himself in danger, it's because I'm confident in my heart. Although I can't take care of the affairs of the Liva Empire, with the little princess of the God Clan here, those who want to rebel in Sbia can still
Don't dare to move; plus the Demon Clan Princess is lingering in the Holy Capital, the Demon Alliance's counterattack will probably take some time." Cohen put his hands on his knees, with an unexpectedly relaxed look on his face, "Even if this young master is cursing
If something goes wrong from time to time, I should be able to recover if I have this time."
"There is another important reason. I am very curious about the curse magic itself, because this curse was developed by a small group of people for thousands of years to deal with gods and demons. Can you imagine? On this continent, except for
Besides you and me, there really are people who are dissatisfied with gods and demons, and they existed thousands of years ago. I am not alone!" At this point, His Majesty Cohen sneered, "But then again, even if it is...
Those who are dissatisfied with the gods and demons are not good people. Those who have done evil things to this young master should have realized that they would lose their lives. I will never let them go lightly - even if you object."
"Let's talk about curse magic! I have studied it carefully. This type of magic has extremely high requirements for details, and does not need to borrow power from gods, demons or other natural spirits. It completely consumes its own energy to guide, even if it is
The method of sacrificing a third party is still based on this principle." After explaining the reason for his personal explanation, Cohen described his research experience to the people in the magic crystal, "Their original intention was to take advantage of the opportunity of the battle between gods and demons to create
The huge magic circle, the curse is directly aimed at the God King and the Demon King... Since it is such a big scene, there must be a very in-depth study of the Gods and Demons. It would be a waste not to try it myself! It is getting late, this time
The young master is going to make arrangements - having fun alone is not as good as having fun together!"
Just as suddenly as when he came, as soon as he finished speaking, His Majesty Cohen stood up and walked out. He was really not at all free and easy.
Pull the door, step out, turn around, lock it, turn around again, and His Majesty yelled "Ah"!
"How many times have I told you, you have to speak out, you have to speak out!" Cohen looked at the bizarre appearance of this moment in front of him, the man covered in armor, his eyes as calm as water, and his arms folded around his chest, "If you want to scare me to death, I still want to
how?"
"If you are scared to death for this kind of thing." Crow replied in a calm tone, "That's nothing to regret."
"You...have the guts!" Listening to Crow teasing himself like this, Cohen knew that there was no one around, "What care do you have?"
"Someone asked me to watch you and prevent you from going to the island in the middle of the lake alone." Crow maintained the same posture as when he appeared, "It's that simple."
"We have something to discuss! Let's talk while walking..."
"Don't look at me like that, I'm very normal..."
"Don't stand in front of me, be careful I won't even give you water bread..."
"Okay! Let me explain, can I tell you all the reasons?"
"Can you make a sound when you nod? Even a 'hmm' is fine!"
