After returning from the temple, everyone rested in Bonia's yurt for a while, digesting the newly obtained information and discussing further exploration plans for the world. Hesiana stood boredly next to Vivian, dangling in her hands.
Playing with a small ball of blood to amuse herself. Baptiste's incident ended in an unexpected way. She felt helpless as if she had punched cotton, so she was waiting for Vivian to decide to take over.
What should I do when I get down?
And Vivian has been playing with the blood-colored crystal since just now, thinking hard about what it means. The crystal floats up and down in her hands, but neither injecting magic power nor sprinkling blood can produce any change in it.
Like a cold and ordinary beautiful stone, it keeps all its secrets.
"Still not remembering who Beatrice is?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivian, "And you haven't remembered about this crystal either?"
"You know the state of my brain," Vivian smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Paul was forgotten by me for three hundred years. But it seems that Beatrice has been forgotten even more completely by me... Even if I know her
I don't remember anything about the name."
"Maybe the name has been changed, or maybe Beatrice is just a title for the witch," Kassandra suddenly said, "Witches and wizards often give themselves some 'nominal names' that are between names and titles. They use these nicknames.
Casting spells with your name can prevent you from being counterattacked by the devil's power or being tracked by the devil. However, I heard that this method does not always work. More powerful hell creatures can directly ascertain the true name."
"It's a pity that Beatrice is dead. Now even if we bring Yzaks here, we probably won't be able to find out the real name of that witch." Hao Ren shook his head. He was well aware of Vivian's memory state, and maybe he could do something about it.
Understanding Beatrice's real name back then would help Vivian remember things about the crystal and the witch, but in this current situation, no one can place any hope on Vivian's bad mind.
"Sorry," Vivian looked at everyone apologetically and rubbed her forehead in embarrassment, "I've tried my best to think about it."
Lily watched from the side, feeling a rare sympathy for Vivian. She patted the latter's shoulder and comforted her softly: "There is nothing I can do, after all, I am old."
Vivian rolled her eyes and said, "Squat next to me!"
Lily bared her teeth and muttered, "Tsk, you don't know what is good and what is good," while moving sideways while still squatting.
"Another key is what this crystal is." Nangong Sanba stared intently at the red crystal floating above Vivian's palm, "You gave a similar crystal to me when you were asleep three hundred years ago.
He killed his own servant and placed it with your manuscript, which shows that it is a very important thing, as important as your memory. But didn’t you leave any clues that could open it? "
"Even if there is a clue, I will forget it, and even if this clue is right in front of me, I won't know it." Vivian let out a long sigh, "When you even forget what you forgot, everything will be in vain.
It didn't help. I could only feel that the aura in this crystal was much weaker than the crystal that Paul kept. Perhaps it was because Beatrice had absorbed the magic power from it for many years and made it weak. I almost even came close at first.
I didn’t realize it was made of my blood.”
Lily raised her eyes to look at Vivian and whispered: "So we must care for the empty-nest old bats..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
"Anyway, this thing is the only clue related to summoning the 'Blood King'," Hao Ren knocked on the table, "Baptiste was just a wizard apprentice before Beatrice disappeared. There is no way he can do it himself
After studying the ritual to summon the Blood King, it is even more impossible to seal such a powerful evil spirit in his magic book, so these must have been inherited from Beatrice. All his magic skills, early knowledge, and possibly
The magic items related to Vivian all come from Beatrice. This crystal..."
At this time, Lily raised her hand again to express that she had something to say: "If it were me, I would eat it and try it."
"Do you think everyone is a husky? When you see something you don't recognize, take a few bites to taste it?" Hao Ren squinted at the girl whose thoughts had been off track for a long time, "Do you know what this crystal is?"
"I know," Lily's expression was unexpectedly serious, "Do you think I'm joking? This crystal is made by bats using their own blood, so it's basically something in the bat's own body. What's going to happen if you eat it?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lily's statement made some sense...but when he thought about it, he felt that he couldn't understand this husky's thinking. Why did he have to eat this food if he knew it would not spoil his stomach?
?Or how on earth did this guy associate the key to solving the problem with "eating"!
But Vivian didn't know what she was thinking. She actually put the crystal to her mouth: "Maybe I can try it."
"Wait a minute!" Hao Ren quickly grabbed her, "Are you sure you really want to follow Lily's crazy suggestion?"
"Anyway, it was originally my own blood," Vivian licked her lips. "Maybe you can discover something by reabsorbing it. At least you can find a fragment of the impression when you made this crystal. Vampires can store information in their blood."
Hesiana also nodded to support Vivian's statement. Seeing this, Hao Ren could only give up trying to dissuade her. He watched nervously as Vivian put the thin piece of crystal into her mouth, and after a moment couldn't help but ask
: "Would you like... some minced garlic?"
"This is a blood spar, not blood tofu!" Hesiana glared at Hao Ren with her hands on her hips, then turned to Vivian, "Ms. Vivian, what's your reaction?"
"Wait a minute," Vivian waved her hand to calm down, "I'm absorbing it."
She restored the blood crystal to its original form and breathed it into her body, trying to discern every bit of information contained in it. During the process, her face changed from time to time, constantly switching between confusion and memories. Soon
She discovered that the formation of the blood crystal was earlier than she expected, and some extremely fragmentary fragments suddenly flooded into her memory. The fragments came from an era that she had never expected, and from an even more unexpected perspective.
.
She saw the activities of another herself on this planet from the perspective of a bystander. Although the scene was only for a short moment, she understood much more from her memory than the scene.
Vivian suddenly opened her eyes, and the bloody light in her eyes flashed away. Her power was about to burst out almost uncontrollably in a thousandth of a second. Hao Ren even felt like he had become this force at that moment.
The prey of powerful power can even say that this power is directed at him. But soon this hallucinatory pressure disappeared. Vivian fully woke up from her memory. The first thing she did was to look up.
To Geisel: "What's under Doratheir?"
The ancient city of Dorasil is said to be a "ceremonial city" built by the survivors on the earth after the end of the ancient Sun Dynasty. It was established after the sky closed. It has never been inhabited by anyone, but only serves as a symbol.
Remain in this world. Geisel was a little confused by Vivian's question: "That sacred city? Is there something underground in it?"
"There is something... deep underground in Dorasil. There should be another city there," Vivian stood up with a shout, "Without any further delay, we must go there immediately."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Hao Ren stopped Geisel who was about to obey the order. He looked at Vivian, "We must leave now? Is there any problem in delaying it for a day?"
"Postponed by one day?" Vivian was a little confused, "If it's just one day, it should be..."
Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed upward, indicating the sky outside the tent: "It's getting too late, and you obviously need to rest, and so do everyone else."
Only then did Vivian calm down from her turbulent emotions. She noticed that not only Lily was dozing on the side, but Nangong Wuyue had also slept with his tail twisted like a mosquito coil. Nangong Sanba, Heise Anna and others did not.
It's so serious, but it's obvious that everyone is not in their prime.
"That's right. Let's set off again tomorrow. I'm sorry I'm too excited." Vivian's expression returned to normal and she smiled faintly, "Don't be nervous. The situation is fine. It's not that urgent. It's just that I was injured by the blood crystal stone."
The residual emotional impact makes me a little out of control."
Hao Ren nodded and wisely did not directly ask what the other party saw in the illusion, but arranged everyone's itinerary: "Okay, we will rest at the Fire Tribe tonight and go to the Wind Tribe tomorrow."
Vivian nodded lightly and had no objection to this arrangement. (To be continued.)
