"I dug out his brain... and inside I saw a tree made of flesh and blood..."
"Trees again?"
"I don't know. Maybe trees have some special meaning here. Many powers are manifested in trees. I think this is actually a good thing... It's much better than transforming into all kinds of messy meat balls."
"Continue talking about the tree made of flesh and blood, what is that?"
"It should be 'Mother of Pregnancy'."
At this point, Eric's tone became quite cold.
"You've heard of it, right? There is a Mother of Fertility at the end of the world... She is the benefactor of all things, and her branches and roots can penetrate into cells... No matter what race's blood and bones fall into her hands, they can combine and reproduce... Those wild dogs were born from her."
"Isn't this the family created by Diat?"
"It needs a channel. Diat's power has nothing to do with creation or reproduction. He uses the 'Mother of Fertility'... I guess he put some of his own blood into that thing."
"So Diat... Behind Kleba Tolar is the 'King of Horns', and behind Rod Hughes is the 'Mother of Pregnancy'?"
"It seems that this is the case now. Rod Hughes' sword was born by the evil god."
"Are there more?"
"what?"
"I mean, the descendants of the Nine Knights... after all, they are the Nine Knights. There are nine of them, right? Kleba Tolar and Rod Hughes have been contaminated, and even their bodies have been controlled by the evil god. Will the other seven also..."
"Based on the information we have so far, no."
"Are you so sure?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." Eric pointed at his own eyes - in Xia Yibing's opinion, he was pointing at her. "The Nine Evil Gods... are true... but that's all a story of the past. Diat's goal is not to revive other evil gods."
"That……"
"You should remember what I found in Fire City last time. The memory was clearly imprinted in that person's head... and the secrets hidden in those wild dogs. I analyzed everything and found that they wanted to build a 'Star Lighthouse'."
"'lighthouse'?"
"This is my biggest discovery this time." Eric finally smiled. Xia Yibing saw the woman's face trembling with excitement in her eyes. "That means they also want to transcend!"
"This world is not just a prison for us, it also holds them! They want to escape! They want to escape from here!!!"
……
As time passed, Hitzfeld was staring blankly at the scene in front of him.
There were more than a dozen black spots, which were torn monster tissues. Each of them was condensed into a sharp angle in space by an unknown force. A total of more than a dozen such black angles were aimed at the two people in the study, but they could not move forward due to the resistance of another force.
It's Eric.
Her right hand was suspended in the air, her left hand was pressing on her right wrist, countless blood vessels were bulging out of both hands, and a strong bloody aura emanated from her body.
"leave here……"
"Eric!"
"Go first!"
Yalian gritted her teeth, thought about it and ran out.
"Beast..." Eric stared at the sharp angle in the air.
No wonder there are believers coming here...it turns out it was premeditated...
Want to assassinate me!
There was no time to think about where the mistake was made and he was discovered. The key was to find a way to kill this ugly monster!
Can the power of the blood race do this?
She was not sure. After all, she had just worked out this system, which was strictly speaking a restoration, and she herself could not grasp it well.
Fortunately, it was precisely because of her research that she was able to sense the blood in the body of this thing the moment it jumped out - no matter what it was, it had flesh and blood in its body, so it could not escape her perception. The only problem was how to subdue it...
"Eric!"
Why is she back?
Eric almost lost his breath when he heard Yalian's voice. Just as he was about to curse, a ball of blazing fire emitting hot air fell to the ground out of nowhere, and a large ball of fire exploded with a "boom".
A miracle happened - when the flames exploded, they enveloped many suspended sharp angles, and they let out bursts of wailing. In Eric's perception, the forward thrust was no longer difficult to resist!
"die!"
There was no way she would miss such an opportunity. She exerted force in the void and clenched the five fingers of her right hand fiercely. The dozen or so black horns were forced to guide the blood and energy in the air to condense again, forming a four-legged beast emitting black mist that fell into the fire, and screamed as it was constantly burned.
The fire burned half of the study, but Eric didn't dare to slack off. He pressed down the thing forcefully and tried to burn it to death.
"call!"
After making sure it was truly dead and only a mass of flesh remained on the ground, Eric fell directly to the ground.
"This bastard... is so hard to kill..."
"Eric..."
Yalian considerately fed her water and wiped her face, then helped her to the corpse of the thing - Eric insisted on studying it.
"You know what? If the blood species are really connected, then theoretically, I can extract information from the past from the flesh and blood."
She proudly showed off to her wife.
"For example, this thing, I mean, if there are blood species in it... uh..."
As he spoke, the smile on Eric's face froze.
When she touched the charred piece of meat, flesh buds suddenly emerged from it. All the flesh buds intertwined and gathered in mid-air at a very fast speed, forming a strange tree that was too thick and short, with a giant eye in the crown.
It was formed by fleshy roots, with a thick trunk and short branches. At first glance, it looked like a pillar. She couldn't even tell what it was at first glance.
"what is this?"
This is also the question that Hitzfeld wants to know.
She knew more than them, so when the two men were confused, she was shocked - because other buds were still condensing to form strange visions, among which were three of the things she was most familiar with: the evil eye of Abu-Gesar.
Three pieces...
It’s actually… three! ?
The three eyeballs, although they are pocket-sized, are indeed there, constantly rotating around the strange tree.
The rotation speed is getting faster and faster, and the eyeballs are getting closer and closer.
Finally, they collided.
Bounce apart and reunite.
After a few times, they could no longer distinguish each other, but condensed and merged into a larger giant eye, which was slowly absorbed to the top of the strange tree, hovering there and no longer moving.
"Jiao——"
She saw the thing looking out into the void.
Penetrating the gray fog.
It also penetrates time.
Chapter 139: Double Heart Retrospection
As if unable to bear the information carried by this scene, Yalian fainted immediately, with two lines of blood and tears in her eyes.
The same goes for Eric, except that she can still stay conscious and remember what she saw after recovering, unlike his wife who forgot everything that happened after waking up.
She obviously had some considerations, so from what happened next, Hitzfeld realized that she had no intention of explaining these things to Alian again.
She began to develop the habit of narration, and she wrote down many things - no matter how big or small, even some things that Hitzfeld thought were unnecessary - in the book. This gave people the feeling that there were some secrets that she might not be willing to entrust to others until she was about to die.
The traces left by the hounds were cleaned up, and as the days passed, Yalian seemed to have really forgotten the assassination that happened that day. Every day, she was either busy with government affairs or took time out to take care of the children and teach them the knowledge they should have.
But Eric could not pretend nothing happened. Under her instruction, both Bloodthirsty City and Wind Snail City began to strangle the believers of "Horn".
"Are you crazy?" When she gave such a precise order for the first time, she received uneasy stares from almost everyone. Even the old man came to her personally and said, "There are many followers of the Horn. If we do this, not only will we offend the most people, but we will also be exposed to all human forces at the fastest rate and be noticed by the guys in the sky!"
"I have my own considerations." Eric didn't want to explain anything more. "In short, those people must die. They have been contaminated."
“What exactly is the contamination you are referring to?”
"I can't say."
"Can't you even tell me?"
"At least I can't tell you now."
"I understand." The old man was silent and said in a low voice: "I have watched you grow up since you were a child. I think I am the only one in the world who understands you the most, except Miss Yalian. I really don't understand the reason, but I will continue to support your ideas..."
"I'm glad you said that." Eric managed a rare smile. "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
"It's my honor." The old man paused, "Have you talked to Miss Yalian?"
"She has never even questioned you to this degree."
"Then there is finally one thing that the young master is completely right with me about." The old man was in high spirits and seemed very happy. "The Imaer family is lucky to have such a mistress."
After Gu left, Eric called Yalian to talk.
She must have been hesitant to speak, at least Hitzfeld saw her hesitation several times, she was not sure whether to tell all those secrets to her lover.
But she didn't say anything in the end. She just explained some things that needed to be done recently, and then asked Yalian if there was anything she didn't understand.
"Whatever you want to do, you must have your reasons." Ya Lian was very single. "If you can explain it, you will definitely explain it to me. If you don't explain it to me, it means you think I shouldn't know it. What else can I ask?"
"The old man is right." Eric smiled, "It is indeed my luck to marry you."
"So you can't say it, right?" Yalian rolled her eyes at her.
She accepted it, after all, after so many years, she had already recognized her husband's true nature. But she still felt uncomfortable when she was really sure that something was being hidden from her.
It's not about anger, it's probably just curiosity.
"I can only reveal a little bit." Eric frowned. "The descendants of the Nine Knights... There is an evil force surging behind each of them. The practice of the mysterious path should be one of the results of the cooperation between these forces and the church. They want to use this path to cover up the truth."
"What's the truth?" Ya Lian was confused at first, and then she vaguely remembered that she seemed to have told herself one day some time ago that she found that the secret techniques of those big families might be related.
"The truth about the origin of blood and blood species." Eric nodded. "The mysterious road is not something that appeared naturally in this world. It is a latecomer and was newly created by those things."
"But before the emergence of mystery, did we have no way to transcend? No, I think there might have been a more primitive power in ancient times, a power that... burst out from the source of life, from our flesh."
At first she was a little unsure, but the more she spoke, the more certain she became. She stretched out her hand and clenched it into a fist in the air: "Just like this..."
"We should be able to control this power freely, as freely as controlling it with a clenched fist... Those secret arts should not be monopolized by the big clans. They are free, and I want to liberate them..."
"Are you ready?" Yalian frowned, "This is not just talk..."
The Imar family has already offended the descendants of the Nine Knights, but this is not enough to allow the other party to mobilize too much force to strangle the only one who escaped.
After all, she had learned a lot of information over the years. She knew that before the conflict broke out, the relationship between the Imar family and the descendants of the Nine Knights was quite good. There were many people among the descendants who liked Eric very much - they even arranged a marriage for her early on.
For a long time, there has been no news that Ou Jincheng is vigorously hunting down the descendants of this traitor. This may be a continuation of this goodwill, because to them, Eric Imar is no longer a big deal, and it is not worth mobilizing troops for her.
But - if Eric wanted to revive that kind of secret art, to reintegrate it to fight against the mystery, the nature of the matter would be different.
This is another matter, which means that she has firmly stood on the opposite side of certain people. Just think about it and you will know that those people are hiding the truth and replacing it with mystery. There must be a huge conspiracy. The Imaer family must be involved. She is worried that Eric will be torn to pieces by the whirlpool.
"This is not what you told me at the beginning..." She muttered to herself, "The last time I asked you, you said that it would be great if we could develop an army of 10,000 people, and leave the rest to the children. But now you are forcing yourself to do such a dangerous thing..."
"I have to do it." Eric didn't dare to meet her gaze at this moment, "I'm sorry, Alian, I..."
"Do you want to kill them all?"
"A...Lian?"
"There are many people on the mysterious path. If you really want to do it, I don't recommend taking such a radical attitude right from the start." Yalian analyzed carefully, "Our current strength is still too weak to confront such a large group of believers... I think we can try to divide them - those who were originally forced to take this path."
Confident, mature, steady and intelligent.
Most importantly, trust yourself completely.
Eric was stunned. She felt that she was not just lucky. There must be some kind of great power... a power beyond earthly understanding that was guiding her and allowing her to meet the other person at the most appropriate time.
"We can develop blood mages secretly first... When this power is strong enough, even enough to fight against the mystery, then whatever you want will be no problem."
After finishing her summary, Yalian glanced at her husband and found that she seemed not to have listened at all and was staring at her in a daze.
Hitzfeld said he couldn't bear to watch what happened next, so he was forced to speed up the plot with a straight face.
