After sweeping all the way here, we only killed these few people?
In fact, she had killed quite a few people. She had killed more than fifty people from the Ferrum family... the Bracken family... the Tastamu family... the Rodhus family... the Nine Knights' descendants that she could name, not to mention the scattered ones who were attached to the descendants. Otherwise, how could the knife be so sharp?
?
But it’s still not enough… Not all of them. At least she hasn’t met anyone with the last name Kleba Tolar, and she hasn’t met the previous generation’s Lord of the Holy City, the Neang.
Did you escape?
It was unlikely. From the beginning to the end, they had no chance to escape. The fall almost destroyed all the buildings on the surface of the Holy City. Even if they could hide in the secret passages during the weightlessness, they would not survive.
Either they were all buried in the ruins, or... they were not in Oujin City before this war started...
With a startled heart, Yalian quickly gave the order: "Dig up all the ruins on the upper level."
"Do you want all of them?"
"Everything...especially those tunnels, list all the bodies that can be found!"
I felt a little uneasy in my heart and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds still showed no signs of dissipating.
what is the problem?
Reaching out and grabbing a handful of clotted hair, Yalian felt a little annoyed.
The fall of Oujin City was indeed an extremely brilliant achievement, but her core target was not Oujin City, but the secrets hidden in Oujin City.
The secrets held by the descendants of the Nine Knights, the secrets of the Lighthouse Project, but all of these have disappeared without a trace. She searched the entire top layer of the ruins but could not find a single "Meat Pillar Tree".
Did they just appear on the battlefield?
It couldn't be that he was killed without knowing why. Was the ancient evil god that weak?
The growing sense of uneasiness gathered into a dark cloud in her heart. When this feeling overwhelmed all hatred, Yalian woke up with a start and finally realized how stupid she had been.
“Everyone——” She quickly climbed up a blood-bone tree like an agile ape, and stood on the treetop and shouted loudly: “Gather together and leave the city!!”
Out of town!
Out of town!
After winning this battle, Yalian's status in the hearts of the soldiers has become like a god, so no one questioned this order even though she seemed a little capricious. As the shouting spread, more and more troops returned to assemble, their steps became faster and faster, and they were about to escape from the ruins.
But at this moment, the earth suddenly began to shake.
The loud rumbling sound was like thunder, but this time it came from under their feet. The buildings that had not yet completely collapsed were completely scattered into ashes in this wave of vibration, and dust rose up in the middle of the road, blocking their way to escape.
"Charge out! Quick!" Ya Lian only had time to command the troops at close range. She knew that something bad was about to happen, so she led a group of Blood Bone Tree Cavalry to break through the encirclement and finally escaped from the ruins.
But the shaking of the ground not only did not stop but was getting worse. She ran far enough away and looked back, and was surprised to find that the fallen floating city was stirring again, as if a new mysterious force was emerging to lift it up from the mud!
The remaining troops were speechless for a moment. Everyone was shocked by the scene. They saw countless blood muds - all extracted from the corpses scattered on the battlefield - these blood muds seemed to have life, rising up and gathering towards the ruins. In less than a minute,
In just a few minutes, a brand new "Oujin City" slowly rose from the ground again!
how did you do that?
Hitzfeld was also surprised. She quickly guessed that the bloody battle itself might be a conspiracy - the Lighthouse Project required a large amount of flesh and blood and life essence for sacrifice and shaping. If so, there would be no more suitable place for sacrifice than the bloody battle!
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is the case... Because it is obvious that the two knights who returned are no longer human. Their tribesmen and ancestral lands are of no importance to them. Everything in the human world is expendable to them. The most important thing to them is to complete the lighthouse... even
He even used other evil companions who had not yet awakened as nourishment for the lighthouse.
At this moment, Hitzfeld had a sudden realization. She felt that she might know what the Lighthouse Project was.
There are precedents and precursors for this... We can directly infer something from Namibia’s past state.
When she had not yet mastered the Eye of God and had not yet become the Lord of Mystery, the Namiyan world would fall into eternal darkness on the seventh day every six days. The locals called this phenomenon "Eternal Night". When "Eternal Night" came, the frequency of evil spirits increased, and people were afraid of the sudden explosion.
Fear has a higher chance of degenerating into a nightmare egg sheath.
But this is not directed at them, just like the saddest truths - many times you think that the malice is directed at you, but in the end you find that it is just the aftermath of a grand plan.
The same is true for "Eternal Night". The evil gods probably don't care about these fallen people. It doesn't matter. What they really want is Namiya itself. They want to find this lost world from the boundless universe and devour it to become their power.
This is also information that has been confirmed in many cases (such as the Bartlett Beach case). Even people in Sara's high-level agencies have argued about it. In the end, the conservatives won, believing that the revival of any power may expose Namiia's location in deep space.
There is also the God's Eye in the Corrupted Blood God Kingdom.
Compared with Namiya, this is the real lost continent. Everything here is swallowed by the gray fog, and it takes a very special method to return. This shows that this is not Namiya, and it is in a different space from Namiya.
But this is not the land of the evil god - everyone, including Hitzfeld, guessed so at the beginning, but it was not the case, because if it was true, she didn't believe that the mysterious source was the only one that existed.
Even if the nine evil gods were included, the mysterious apex was too empty. Such a world could not possibly devour Namiya. She was more inclined to guess that this place once belonged to the evil god's world, but was torn and chopped apart in the collision with the sun goddess, and was separated from the origin of the evil god ever since.
It was separated, but because it included the continent of Aisha, it was not completely disconnected from Namibia.
There is also "Eternal Night" and the Evil Eye here. Even these things alone are not enough. Even if the evil gods are dead, disabled, or sealed, the first thing they will do after they wake up is not to wake up more companions to increase their combat power, but to gather all resources to forge "
lighthouse".
Combined with the misleading concept of "transcendence" in the myth of the Savior Mother, it is really hard to guess what this so-called "lighthouse" is and what it is used for.
They wanted to use the power of the 'Mother of Conservation' to reshape and forge three Evil Eyes of Ebu-Gesar, amplify its functions as a "messenger", "scout" and "investigator" on the original basis, and send the location coordinates here to the vast universe outside the heaven and earth.
They want to invade this world, but the remains of Namiia also have their own consciousness. Just like the mother tree will spontaneously operate and reshape the myth after losing its constraints, the Elsa continent will also extract factors and awaken the most primitive power on this land to fight against them.
They are unwilling to waste their strength in vain in this confrontation, so this is the simplest way to break the deadlock - build a lighthouse, just like the lighthouses on the coastline guide the direction for offshore ships. They want to ask for help from their more distant companions and attract them here.
After realizing the essence of this plan, even though Hitzfeld was now a complete spirit, she felt goosebumps all over her body.
It's crazy, crazy...
I originally thought that the Nine Evil Gods were difficult enough to deal with, and I have been racking my brains over how to fight these guys. But the opponents are actually so cautious. I feel that such a big gap is not enough and I need to ask for help from my hometown?
What else is there to fight for if the "lighthouse" is already built?
By then, not only will the lost continent of Aisha be swallowed up and occupied, they can also find the mainland of Namibia through the node of Colossae Port. If that happens, everything will be doomed!
Hitzfeld was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and soon realized that things were not that bad.
Yalian may have failed, and Imaar's fruit was stolen by the Neo people, but at the same time she herself is in the real Aisha Continent, and she knows... So far, there are still multiple forces coexisting in the Kingdom of Corrupted Blood.
That means the Lighthouse Project has also failed...
Looking up at the sky from Yalian's perspective, seeing the wreckage of the building stuck together by countless blood mud rising higher and higher, Hitzfeld's brows suddenly began to twitch again.
She had a feeling that she seemed to have seen this big thing rising into the sky somewhere.
But it's impossible... This is the ruins of Oujin City. I didn't get this feeling when it first appeared, and I have never seen Oujin City before today.
However, the "Oujin City" at this time is constantly changing.
The dusty ruins were connected together by a mixture of blood and mud, and reshaped into long metal monuments, which finally completely awakened the memories in her heart.
It's a big whirlpool.
She had seen something similar once before, in the sky above the Maelstrom, during that flashback.
It is also a floating city, but it is larger than this one, and there should be a -
When she raised her eyelids, she saw cracks appearing in the ruins in the air.
A vertical crack was like a vertical eye, with an extremely huge dark golden eyeball embedded in it, looking straight at her.
Chapter 142 Remaining Connections
A strong feeling of palpitations came over him, forcing Hitzfeld to open his eyes.
Still in the underground secret room of the Blood Temple, the girl in black robe took a half step back and stopped retreating with great willpower and control over her actions, a little sweat seeping out of her back.
Don't worry...
she told herself.
No matter what conspiracy was involved and what happened after a century of bloody battles, the Lighthouse Project did not succeed.
Yes...neither Imaar nor the surviving members of the Nine Knights got the results they wanted in the end.
Thinking of this, Hitzfeld's eyebrows suddenly jumped and his expression became a little ugly.
Could it really be... could it really be the possibility she was thinking of at this moment...
No, there is still too little information. The memories of this thing alone are not enough. We must find a way to investigate the historical process after the war. At least we must figure out how the Neo people came to power.
After secretly drawing up an outline for the next action plan, Hitzfeld left the underground chamber and climbed up the spiral stairs.
Her steps were a little shaky, and her mental and physical strength were greatly depleted. Considering that the Eternal Night would come soon, and she would have to truly face the Eternal Night in Aisha Continent and the Corrupted Blood Kingdom for the first time, she felt it necessary to adjust her state before that.
While her fake identity was still sufficient and no one in the temple dared to disobey or disturb her, she hurried back to the closed alchemy laboratory, looked around inside and noticed a piece of iron baffle less than ten centimeters from the ground under the long table.
This board is horizontal and flush with the table top. It is made of wood wrapped in iron sheet so it has a certain thickness, which can fully meet some of her needs.
The decontamination agent and powder had been prepared long ago. She grabbed a can and sprinkled the powder on to clean it. She took a clean towel to wipe the iron plate dry. She sat on it, lay down sideways, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
This is the most effective way of recovery. No matter how long you can sleep in the end, there is a difference between sleeping and not sleeping.
At the same time, Xia Yibing woke up from the hallucination in sweat.
Her performance was even worse. She looked pale and her lips were blue. She nearly fell out of bed when she rolled over. She almost crawled to the bathroom and began to vomit into the sink.
This frightened Madeline nearby. She thought there was something wrong with the bones she had picked out, so she ran to the bathroom and patted the woman on the back, asking, "What's going on? ... Chief, are you feeling better?"
"It's just that I can't adapt..."
After taking a break and drinking some water, Xia Yibing looked much better. Seeing that the ground was clean, she simply slid down against the sink and said with a wry smile, "I always thought that doing this kind of thing was nothing... It's like watching an opera. I didn't expect it would be so exhausting in all aspects."
"Inherit memory?" Madeline didn't understand. It sounded like the director was comparing himself with someone... But isn't the director the only one who can use this method?
"You don't understand." Xia Yibing shook her head, "After all, you're not...right? There are some things you won't understand."
She started saying some difficult to understand words again, like "You don't understand her, only I do" and "This fundamentally determines the huge gap between us."
"So are you going to continue?" This was not the first day Madeline had known her, and she understood at least one thing - when your boss starts saying something that is difficult to understand, don't delve into it, but first think about whether you have done what you were supposed to do.
"Go on... continue my bullshit!" Xia Yibing wanted to agree at first, but then she was suddenly awakened by what she saw in that memory.
Damn Posuo Mansion... This huge blood-bone tree, also known as the "Tree House Hotel", is most likely transformed by that old guy!
So is it dead?
This state, if it is still alive, doesn't it mean it is always monitoring our every move?
The more she thought about it, the creepier she felt. Xia Yibing couldn't stay in this place for a moment longer. She went out and started packing her things, regardless of Madeline's inexplicable questioning. Then, as she was packing, she gradually stopped.
A sharp pain exploded from the back of the head and spread along the spine throughout the body.
Looking at the box in front of her, she had a sense of déjà vu, as if she had seen a similar scene somewhere.
Her consciousness fell into a hazy and confused state, and the things in front of her eyes appeared in pairs. She vaguely saw a pale-skinned elderly gentleman reflected in the mirror next to her. It was the "old man"... She actually put herself in his perspective?
Oh shit…I should have thought of that sooner…
If the principle of inheriting memories from the hero's bones is to stimulate some kind of spiritual energy left in the dead, then this blood bone tree... the blood bone tree king can of course be regarded as its bones...
We are in contact all the time, so of course I can... When I realize what it is, those deposited things will begin to affect me and bring me back to its memories...
The "Gu" in sight was also packing up his things, his movements seemed very hurried, as if he was in a hurry to escape.
"Just put the books away." She heard a man's voice from behind, very low, "Let's discuss the follow-up plan."
Gu undoubtedly respected the owner of the voice. He immediately stopped packing and turned to face him: "Okay, Master. What do you want me to do?"
Xia Yibing tried her best to see the face of the man in front of her, but perhaps because she had consumed too much mental and physical energy, she found it difficult to do so. She could only see a figure, a tall and intermittent outline.
"I remember you told me that you are one of the few Blood Bone Tree People who can reach the level of Blood Bone Tree King. Is that right?"
"Yes, Master, I said so."
"What's the principle? I didn't ask at the time... Now I might die soon, can you satisfy my curiosity a little?"
"Master, you are too kind. This is something you should know. I think it may be because I have eaten some extraordinary flesh and blood."
"flesh?"
"Yes, you should know that all blood bone trees are carnivorous. We usually don't have any special requirements for blood and flesh. No matter what it is, whether it is young or old, we eat it - but it is true that the strength of those corpses when they were alive is related to how much nutrients we can obtain from this meal. This is also an instinct, a survival instinct engraved in our lives."
"There is so much extraordinary flesh and blood. Whose flesh is it?"
"...Qia-Rodhuys."
The air fell into a temporary silence, and after a while, a voice was heard: "Oh... Qiya-Rodhuis...'The Fickle One', 'The Thousand-Change Knight'..."
"…So your life story can be traced back to the bloody battle for salvation? Your seed is located in the cracks of the land on that battlefield. You have been bathed in the blood of those strong men and eaten the remains of a blood source knight. You were able to advance by absorbing the remaining power in that flesh and blood?"
"This is consistent with my own deductions, Master."
