"As you wish, young man." The Scarecrow will do his best after receiving the money.
"Wait, hide my name before talking. Well, let's use the code name 'Owl'." Tang Shidao can make requests after paying money, and the scarecrow usually complies with the requests. Thinking that the scarecrow knows everything, Tang Shidao can't help but be curious.
Question: "Since everyone relies on you to deliver news, you must know a lot of things, right? I'm very surprised. Sometimes you don't seem to recognize me."
The Scarecrow sends a message to the Blood Earl.
While waiting.
It calmly raised its head again and slowly raised its right hand. It cast a spell to extract a piece of information from its own head, and then shattered it into nothingness: "This spell is called 'memory destruction', and I will cast it every once in a while.
Memory destruction will not cause me complete amnesia, it will only make my memories fragmented and messy. Therefore, it is random for me to forget someone and something."
Tang Shidao was surprised: "Why do you do this?"
It is rare for a scarecrow to be serious: "In your world, smart businessmen will remember the preferences of their customers, figure out their thoughts, and provide them with better services. But Master.com is different. If I firmly remember all the purchases and learning of the Master
, that is tantamount to spying on the privacy of the mages. Thousands of you, so weak, can do nothing to me if you spy on them. However, I don’t even know how many mages there are on the Mage Network. Is there any single one who is stronger than me?
I'm not sure either. I am safe only if my memory is broken. I don't want to be besieged by all the mages of the Mage Network one day, understand?"
After hearing this, Tang Shidao understood.
What the Scarecrow did was very clever. What the mage fears most is: the secret being exposed!
Not only in the original world, but also in the Mage Network. It is also necessary to keep secrets. For example, there are countless mages in the Mage Network, but no one has ever exposed his talent. The Scarecrow works every day, and countless clones will be busy. If it keeps mastering all the mages,
trends, then... it will be the public enemy of all mages.
No one can trust a person who controls the secrets of all mages.
Even myself.
If the scarecrow knows all the spells he buys and sells, knows all the places he has been to, and knows all the tasks he has accepted, he will be very uncomfortable with this kind of 'existence'. It doesn't matter if he knows about small things.
.Once it is a matter of life and death, the Scarecrow must be regarded as an 'enemy' if he knows it. The Scarecrow does not want to be the enemy of all mages, it can only delete some things it should not know.
It's stupid to shatter your own memories.
But, this move is very smart.
Tang Shidao believes that the scarecrow's memory destruction is targeted, and it is impossible for it to forget its own job. If it were a computer, it would only clear the 'browsing history', and it could not even destroy its own system.
"The other party agrees to talk secretly." The scarecrow opened a special channel, but it itself avoided listening.
soon.
"Hello, colleague, I am Blood Earl."
"Hello, I'm Owl. Please forgive me, this is my pseudonym. I don't want to reveal my true identity." Tang Shidao responded.
"It's normal to use a pseudonym, I won't mind. It seems that you still want to sign a contract that I can't trace, right?"
"This is necessary, Blood Earl. Without this premise, I will not accept your mission." Tang Shidao stated his request in advance to avoid all nonsense.
"Okay, we'll discuss the conditions later. Do you understand my mission requirements?"
"Resurrect you."
"Well, it's not just resurrection. You need to resurrect me when my body is broken into pieces and my ashes disappear. Can you do it? Ordinary resurrection spells will not work. I want a spell or scroll that can resurrect me with just my soul. You must guarantee that I will disappear into ashes.
You can also successfully resurrect."
"Okay. As long as you don't pry into what method I use."
"Of course, spying on the secrets of other mages is also an act of making an enemy to me. It is normal to hide one's identity and abilities in the Mages Network. Even old friends who have known each other for tens of thousands of years will not reveal everything. Mr. Owl, we need
Sign two new treaties. First, after I die, I guarantee that I will be in a state of slumber without knowing, detecting, or tracing your spell casting process, including your identity. As long as the task is completed, I can also directly destroy this paragraph.
Memory. But, I also need protection. In the second treaty, you must sign a mission-based life joint relationship. If you violate the contract and do not resurrect me after my death, you will also die."
"No problem." Tang Shidao knew what the other party meant. After his death, he handed over his "resurrection" to another stranger. It was strange that he didn't ask for protection.
There are many things with resurrection effects.
For example, your own innate spells, magic scrolls with resurrection spells, alchemy rings or wands with resurrection spells, or even a piece of resurrection armor or a necklace. Resurrection spells can be used multiple times, while items can often only be used a few times, at least only
It can be used once. Therefore, items that can be revived are very precious, and most mages are reluctant to use them because they are gone after one use.
The Blood Earl was afraid that he would encounter teammates who would retreat halfway, so he naturally asked to sign a life alliance contract.
Tang Shidao readily agreed, because his innate spell was reincarnation, a resurrection spell that could be used indefinitely. All he needed to do was keep it secret! As long as the other party didn't know what method he used, everything else didn't matter.
After the preconditions were agreed upon, the two discussed for a while.
soon.
Tang Shidao signed a contract with the Blood Earl and turned into an owl to go to the Blood Earl's world.
After entering.
Only then did Tang Shidao realize that this was a world of interstellar civilization, with technology that was countless times higher than that of Earth Emperor. The Blood Earl was dressed like a 'vampire aristocrat' and revealed his identity as soon as he opened his mouth: "Hello, Mr. Owl, thank you very much.
Your help. If you want to go out, please be careful and don't cause any trouble. There are vampires in this world, but there are no mages."
Tang Shidao nodded: "Mr. Blood Earl, please rest assured that I will not affect your world. I am very curious, this is a technological society, why are there vampires?"
The Blood Earl showed his finger: "Because this kind of alchemy ring is called a vampire transformation ring. There are more than three hundred of these in the world, and I got them from the Mage Network. Besides me, there are more than three hundred others in the world.
A vampire, their most powerful and wealthy person."
"You need them to provide you with a comfortable life?"
"Absolutely. I don't want to change the world, but I also want to enjoy a comfortable life, so I created a group of 'similar people' to meet my needs." The Blood Earl did not deny it.
"Aren't you worried about revealing the secrets of the Mage Network?"
"No. These rings come from the relics of ancient times. They are ancient relics. Although the world is technologically advanced, it is not possible to analyze 'alchemy items'. I put the rings into the ancient relics. They must be ancient relics as soon as they are unearthed. Be suspicious.
, scientists also doubt what happened in ancient times." The Blood Earl is not worried about using alchemical items, because technology cannot break magic.
As long as it is properly placed, scientists can figure out the rest.
"Why do you need to die?" Tang Shidao wondered.
"Because I have lived longer than other vampires." The Blood Earl laughed at himself and added: "These rings can make the holder physically strong and survive for hundreds or even thousands of years. Unfortunately, no matter how long the body survives, the soul will also age and die.
, inevitable. Only mages can practice and strengthen their souls, it is impossible for mortals. I have lived too long, and they began to suspect my abnormality. If it were not for my identity as the first generation vampire discoverer, they would have taken me down long ago."
"discoverer?"
"Yes, I am now a scholar. The first person to find a vampire ring is also the most honored scholar in recent generations. They haven't taken action directly yet, but some vampire members feel that death is coming, so they don't care.
So much. This is my secret residence, and there are some of my experiences on the bookshelf. You first take a look at the history of this planet, and you can discover my reasons from it." The Blood Earl had teammates and immediately started his own plan.
Tang Shidao didn't ask any more questions.
In order to hide himself, the mage uses all possible methods. Thunder Stone hides underground and does not contact outsiders. Wolfsbane Master turns himself into a warrior who saves the princess. It is not surprising that the Blood Earl wants to 'die' once, because there is nothing more complete than death.
's disappearance.
Looking through the history books of this world, Tang Shidao discovered some interesting things.
first.
In the age of steam, the world was very chaotic, with war and death everywhere. During this period, as everyone had been praying for, a great hero appeared. He rose as an orphan, quickly gathered his team, and gradually took power.
One side, then unified a country, and finally dominated the world. This unifier tried his best to develop science and technology, especially biology. In the development of global unity and one mind, the great unifier was finally born on his eightieth birthday.
The biotechnology that maintains the body allows him to regain his youth.
Praiseworthy.
After regaining his youth, the unifier immediately ordered: extend this technology to all mankind, and use half of his property to select lucky ones to realize their youthful dreams.
No matter how you look at it, the Unifier is the greatest leader in the history of the world, bar none.
but.
With the development of science and technology, more and more biotechnologies are used to extend people's lifespan. The people who stepped into the interstellar civilization suddenly discovered a strange thing: their supreme leader had lived for more than a thousand years. At this time, the second generation who followed him
The loyal men are also dying.
in science and technology.
Genetic medicines, controllable viruses, or directly creating biochemical bodies, interstellar civilizations have countless technologies to keep the body immortal.
However, no one can avoid the aging of the soul.
Under the turbulent undercurrent, the great leader died accidentally during an experiment and was reduced to ashes. After that, all the conspiracies and speculations about the great leader disappeared and were no longer mentioned by anyone.
Tang Shidao smiled when he saw this.
Read the history books again.
After the great leader, another pope of the 'Life Sect' appeared. He successfully founded the Life Sect in a few years and guided people to practice some ancient secret method to achieve the effect of extending life. Although this is an interstellar civilization,
Extending life span is still an important issue. It didn't take long for the Life Sect and the secret method to become the mainstream, and even now the Life Sect is still at the top.
When people were suspicious of the Pope who had survived for more than 800 years, the Pope also died of spontaneous combustion during a training session.
All that's left is a pile of ashes.
After that, all doubts disappeared. The Life Sect even enshrined the "remaining ashes" as a sacred object.
Tang Shidao laughed again.
He recalled Master Wolfsbane's words: He couldn't even satisfy all his wife's wishes, and he still wanted to satisfy everyone. This was too naive. What the Blood Earl did was not entirely for others. His unification of the world was equivalent to giving everyone a
Stable home. Why continue to cause trouble? It's very simple. He needs to have his own life. He doesn't want to hide in a cave and be a mouse, so he naturally takes the route of "hiding in the city".
Every thousand years or so, if a person can no longer pretend to be ordinary, he will 'die'.
The great unifier.
Pope.
The first great scholar to find the vampire ring.
These identities allow him to live comfortably without being suspected by others. Except for the mages who know the Mage Network, how can the people think that their emperor, pope and great scholars are all the same person. Even if someone suspects it, haha, long ago
He will die of old age, who can live longer than the Blood Earl.
On your side, can you doubt that Emperor Xia reincarnated into a modern person?
The Blood Earl seems to be doing stupid things all the time.
However, there is no doubt about his intelligence.
