When Archduke Owen said these things, his tone was very calm, as if he was describing something that had nothing to do with him, but the content of what he said made the listeners feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
The power of madness is taking over his body.
Not only was it replaced physically, but it was also being eroded at the soul level. He could even clearly feel the erosion process. This was simply an astonishing amount of willpower, let alone an ordinary person, even an ordinary person.
Warriors, how many of them can be as calm as Duke Owen when facing this kind of situation?
Hao Ren came to the bed and carefully observed the corruption of Archduke Owen's upper body. The data terminal flew down from his shoulder and flew around the wound.
Grand Duke Owen and the silver-haired woman next to the bed were stunned for a moment when they saw the data terminal, with some doubts and thoughts on their faces, but no one except Leah noticed this little detail.
"It is indeed the result of the power of madness, but this person used his strong willpower and physical strength to delay the erosion process," the voice of the data terminal sounded in Hao Ren's mind, "The samples have been extracted, let's start considering treatment plans.
.”
"We want to know what happened during last night's attack," Vivian suddenly stepped forward and said, "if you can tell us."
Archduke Owen gave everyone present a determined look, and after pondering for a while, he first asked a question: "Why are you interested in these? How much do you... know about the changes that have happened to me?"
"I know a lot," Leah gently stretched out a finger and pointed at the wound on Archduke Owen's chest. The squirming, corrupted flesh and blood instantly stopped. "I can even cure you, but only if you can turn them into monsters."
Tell us the details of the Black Sword Knight."
Archduke Owen looked at the changes in his wound in astonishment. An inexplicable glint flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed: "It seems that calling you here was a wise move. There is nothing to hide about what happened last night. I
I think you’ve heard those rumors.”
"It is said that a team of Black Sword Knights took advantage of the night to reach the Northern Legion station, and were noticed by the Broken Sword Knights who were keeping watch at night," Hao Ren continued. "Originally, the strength of the Broken Sword Knights was far greater than that of the Black Sword Knights.
It belongs to the knights, but the sneak attack team suddenly burst out with monster-like power..."
"They have completely turned into monsters," Archduke Owen nodded. "There are only a dozen attackers, and I suspect that they mutated in the Northern Legion station in a completely controlled manner after making a good plan.
Their armor melted like wax, and the metal and flesh grew while merging, and a large number of asymmetrical limbs grew from the torso. Their heads also opened with a large number of mouthparts and eyes, which was simply horrifying.
The roars coming from their mouths will make people feel in a trance, and looking directly into their eyes will make those who are not determined go crazy on the spot. Ordinary soldiers are no match for those guys, and the scars caused by the swords will heal almost in the blink of an eye.
And being stabbed by their limbs or sword blades is fatal."
As Grand Duke Owen spoke, he pointed to the wound on his chest: "After ordinary soldiers were injured by them, they all turned into similar monsters in a short period of time. Although the monsters transformed in this way can only move for a short period of time,
But it was enough to cause catastrophic consequences. In fact, I was also injured by those monsters, but I persisted longer than others."
As he said that, he put down his hand and smiled mockingly: "Originally, I planned to use myself as a sample. After returning to the castle, let the scholars and magisters here study what is between my flesh and blood, so that I can find something.
I tried to fight against that kind of corruption, but in the end all treatment options had no effect. Even Bachelor Holman could only extend my life for one day. If you hadn't appeared, I would have been ready to leave the castle."
The implication of Archduke Owen's words is very obvious: what he said about leaving the castle is by no means returning to the front line, but in all likelihood, he is going to exile himself to the snowfield or the Gorgon Abyss, or even commit suicide, because like him
Once such a powerful warrior is completely transformed...even if he can only survive for a short period of time after the transformation, the damage that can be caused will be devastating.
Hao Ren nodded slightly. Archduke Owen's description was very detailed and of sufficient reference value. The mutation of those Black Sword Knights was undoubtedly caused by the power of Madness, and based on the "controllability" and "purposefulness" of their mutations
"It can be concluded that there should be a superior individual behind them controlling everything.
After all, the cannon fodder units in Crazy Minions have almost no thinking ability. Only superior derivatives or "brain-like" units have the ability to think and command. In Lahirion, this "brain" should be the dragon
Soul Emperor.
"When did you guys get attacked?" Lily asked from the side.
Archduke Owen thought for a while: "About half an hour after midnight."
"Then the time will be right," Vivian nodded, "that's when we sense the 'outbreak'."
Charlemagne asked with some confusion: "Eruption? What outbreak?"
"Ah, you may not be able to feel that kind of aura, or you may not be able to tell the difference if you feel it," Lily waved her hands indifferently, "It was last night when the snowstorm was at its worst. At that time, an evil force burst out from the direction of the Imperial Capital, and followed
The time of the attack on Archduke Owen basically coincided."
Grand Duke Owen, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes wide when he heard Lily's words, and a strange expression appeared on his face: "Sure enough... you can also sense 'that thing'. You are also the inheritors?!"
The moment Hao Ren heard the word "inheriter", his eyelids twitched slightly: Sure enough, there is a clue here!
But he did not show it completely, but nodded calmly: "We do know something, but before we talk in detail, let's cure you first. Leah, leave it to you."
Leah nodded and stepped forward, standing next to Archduke Owen, but she did not take any more action, but just stared at the old man lying on the bed quietly.
Others looked at her curiously, wanting to know how this "little girl" planned to cure the terrible corrosion that had happened to the Grand Duke.
This weird silence lasted for a few seconds. Just when Archduke Owen was feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Leah and was about to say something, Hao Ren suddenly noticed some figures appearing on the bed next to the Archduke.
A blurry shadow.
It looks like a shadow cast by the body. It doesn't seem out of the ordinary at first, but it appears against the sunlight coming in from the window!
Everyone noticed the abnormal "shadow", which remained motionless at first, but suddenly started to squirm after a few seconds.
As if trying to escape from danger, the wriggling black shadow suddenly fluctuated and quickly "swam" away from Leah's sight.
However, the shadow could not escape far at all. Almost at the same time as it left the Archduke's body, Leah had already flashed to the other side of the bed, stretched out her hand and grabbed the wriggling thing.
The black shadow was directly grasped from the two-dimensional plane to the three-dimensional space. It struggled violently and shrank into a disgusting soft substance in the air, emitting smoke and dust. However, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape from it.
Leah escaped from her tiny palm, but in the process of contact with the latter, she kept making harsh screams and squeaks of flesh and blood. In just half a minute, it ablated only the remaining
A black ball no more than two centimeters in diameter.
"Okay, okay, if you burn it again, it will burn away." Hao Ren saw that even the ball was starting to smoke, and he quickly stepped forward and snatched the thing from Leah's hand, and threw it into the sample that had been prepared.
In the storage container, "A sample must be kept for analysis."
Then he turned his head: "Grand Duke, how do you feel now... uh, ahem, Grand Duke Owen, Grand Duke Owen?"
After shouting several times, the old man lying on the bed suddenly woke up with a strange look on his face: "This...is it over?"
"It's not a complicated matter in the first place," Leah waved her hands indifferently. "It's just a little pollutant after recession. The people under my command can handle it easily. But you are really impressive.
Ordinary people... this is the first time I have seen them persist for such a long time."
"Yes, yes, you are indeed the inheritor!" The expression on Grand Duke Owen's face became excited, "Whose inheritance are you? Which era was the predecessor of the World Tree Temple? Such a powerful force... Could it be the Tumen Empire?
?No, Tumen can't fight against Gorgon so easily... Could it be that you are Gorgon, or even before Gorgon... cough, cough, cough..."
Perhaps he was too excited, or perhaps the accumulated weakness in his body suddenly burst out after the power of madness was expelled. This ridiculously strong old man suddenly coughed violently, and Hao Ren quickly stepped forward to hold him down:
"Calm down, calm down, you have finally saved your life now, don't throw it away so easily."
Leah also glanced at Archduke Owen lightly: "I just expelled the corrupt power from your body, but the energy and soul you lost are not so easy to make up for, especially the latter. Your soul has been eaten away for three years.
One percent, that is irreversible damage, and even I can hardly repair it perfectly. If you get too excited, your body and soul will not be able to bear it."
"Huh...huh..." Archduke Owen lay back in his original position, breathing heavily at the same time. In front of the miracle given by the goddess herself, the injury on his chest was healing at an alarming speed, but when he was eroded by the power of madness before,
The original defects in his body that had been suppressed suddenly burst out, making him appear even weaker than before. "I... understand. What are the consequences of the loss of the soul?"
"You will still be alive, but to be honest, it is probably impossible to be a wise and powerful guardian of the North," Leah said bluntly. "Your thinking, will, memory, and even personality will be greatly weakened or
If you transform in a bad direction, your body will also be affected. Because of the mismatch between the soul and the body, it will be difficult for you to control the original body, causing it to weaken and continue to weaken until it becomes consistent with the soul. Of course, ordinary people
In this case, you are basically useless, but your foundation is very good, and I have tried my best to protect and fill in your damaged parts, so you will not become a useless person, but you will not reach your peak in all aspects.
Half the period.”
"To me... it's no different from being useless," Archduke Owen sighed, but then shook his head in relief, "But I should be satisfied if I can save my life."
"Now we can talk about the things you just said," Hao Ren immediately continued, "Things about the Tumen Empire, Gorgon, the Era, and the inheritors."
