Everyone returned to the farmyard in a flash and found that the skeleton giant was gone.
An old man stood there, completely naked, with his lower body wrapped in high-temperature white smoke. His muscles bulged all over his body, his eyes were shining, and there was no trace of old age or listlessness on his face.
what happened……?
The other person seemed to be staring at something, so Luca moved his gaze over and saw Aisuen Hitzfeld, the strange and bizarre foreign girl, taking her fingers off the blindfold.
Divine Eye… ?
Luca narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was sure that he had just heard the skeleton giant say this word, so he no longer thought that this action was a coincidence.
"You owe us an explanation," Hitzfeld said, his gray eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"I will." The old man smiled.
"But before that, please allow me to go find some clothes."
Chapter 179 Rebellious Bones
"I am Yin Seul... Strictly speaking, I am the bones left by Yin Seul."
More than a minute later, "Improl" casually put on a robe and returned to the courtyard. This was the first sentence he said.
Then he paused, paying attention to the reactions of the people outside after hearing it, and found that except for the gray-haired girl, the expressions of everyone else had changed to varying degrees.
The woman with the knife raised her eyebrows, and Luca frowned even more deeply. What did the olive-skinned big-butt woman next to him mean by staring at him... I have already said it in a simple and easy-to-understand way, so it shouldn't be that expression...
"He didn't lie." Xia Yibing whispered to her companions.
His bones... She had inherited a lot of memory information when she had come into contact with that thing just now. The long interval could not be wrong - only Yinsel, the leader of the undead, could survive for so long!
"Are you a newly born consciousness?" She asked directly without waiting for others to react, "Yinsel died? He left behind his bones? And you are a spirit that grew from his bones due to the power of blood? So you are not him!"
The other party's statement was not wrong. If the bones left by a person were reborn for some reason, it would not be impossible for them to inherit the original name. But strictly speaking, they were not the same person, and the so-called "Yinsel" was just a fake.
At the same time, she felt hopeful—could Yin Seer really be dead?
She saw many scene fragments in that memory information, including some feelings of anger, despair, and shattered dreams. The feeling was so profound that she didn't even doubt that it was acting. Yes... How can a person act to deceive himself?
So is it true? Did Yin Seer put his hope of immortality on some plan, and then for some reason that plan failed, and he died, leaving behind this horrible skeleton?
Of course it was scary... because she could see that the old man in front of her had been suppressing this body.
No matter who he was, he did not want to use this body to do evil. He suppressed the madness and despair remaining in the skeleton, maintaining the human form and preventing the skeleton's true body from revealing.
This might be the reason why his health was getting worse and worse. He needed to be able to truly control this body to stay healthy, but he couldn't do it, so he was getting older both in appearance and in spirit, and he looked like he was about to be buried when we first met.
It was Aisuen, who used his divine eyes to help him suppress the madness in his bones. He was reborn and only after he regained his human form could he look so energetic.
The speculation was completed. The logical chain was so smooth and beautiful that Xia Yibing could hardly suppress her inner excitement.
She didn't know what the happiest thing in the world was, but now, for Shasha-Imael, she knew that the happiest thing was that the terrible enemy she had tried so hard to guard against had already died.
Doesn't that mean we don't have to be afraid of anything?
Can I just sit down and listen to this old man's story, and then go back to Sara after solving the problems of the Knight's Tomb and the Human King's body?
She knew this was wrong... yes... she was also the director of Sara's Homeland Security Department... but this matter was not only about her family's blood feud, but also about whether she could return to Sara and Aisuen quickly...
Well, she actually learned some strange secrets from Gu, and she couldn't wait to try them out on the girl.
"As you said, I am a spirit born from the power of blood." Improl nodded, "But if you think he is dead, then you are underestimating him."
"Let's sit down and talk." He walked to the center of the courtyard and turned over the stone pillars that had been shaken apart. "This is a long story, and it won't be finished in a short time."
Just then, a nun heard the noise and came to check what was going on, but he sent them away with a few words and told them to prepare some food.
"Let me think about where to start..." Improl stared at the slate table and fell into deep thought.
"You chose this name because you are controlling the sea monster at the same time?" Hitzfeld suddenly asked him, "You have been controlling Jonathan Improl's corpse to guide us and want us to come here?"
what did she say?
This time, it wasn't just Madeline who was shocked, even Xia Yibing was a little shocked.
Although the names are similar, this conclusion... I really can't make a conclusion without a little imagination.
"It's me." But Improl admitted directly, "I inherited most of his legacy... the Corrupted Blood Kingdom, so I can control Jonathan."
"How many divine corpses can you control?" Hitzfeld asked again.
"That one."
"The reason."
"Jonathan's obsession is the strongest. He has a deep respect and love for the Blood King. I can't say whether it is worship or some other emotion that crosses a certain line. Anyway, because of this special thing, his body is not completely covered by the evil god's flesh and blood. He is the only god corpse that can cooperate with me."
"Sounds a lot like 'Corpse Puppet'."
"It's 'corpse puppet'."
"So Yinsel has established connections with all the corpses of the gods and tried to control them."
"Yes, much of his long life was spent on these experiments."
"He failed."
"Yes, so he's 'dead'."
"Are you saying that he is not really dead?" Hitzfeld's eyes were deep. "...What is his current condition?"
To be honest, she doesn't particularly care about whether it is history or secret.
She only cared about what happened to Yin Seer.
"He was very cautious." Improl closed his eyes and recalled. "The corpses of the evil gods... are not easy to control. You have to know that they were already at their weakest state. The nine monsters were sealed by arrogant and courageous humans who abandoned their bodies and merged them. Their self-consciousness was wiped out for a time... But even so, it still didn't work. Jonathan is just a special case. No ordinary life can touch any of the other corpses."
"The consequences of interfering have already been shown in the hundred-year bloody war." He looked at Xia Yibing, "The evil god's consciousness was awakened by the nourishment of the mortal spirit, and what followed was loss of control, subversion, and becoming the master."
The woman's face looked unhappy: "The Nine Knights' descendants were destroyed because of this..."
"They deserve it." Improl's expression remained unchanged. "Those who forget their oaths have no need to live."
"What about you?" Hitzfeld tilted his head slightly, "You were born from Yinsel's remains... Logically, you should..."
"I should consider it from his perspective." Inprol helped her finish: "I can even inherit his will and memories. Just treat me as the real Insel and use the power and authority in my hands to deal with you."
Hitzfeld said nothing, but nodded slowly.
"I don't know." Improl looked at her seriously.
"If you insist on asking me, I can only say this... I don't know. Ever since I became conscious, I have felt that he and I are not on the same page. His ideals are too arrogant and evil... I just want to change everything. I want to drive out the evil god, let the Elsa continent complete its 'transcendence', and truly liberate itself from the long suffering... I think this is 'Insel's' original dream, and this is the dream that 'I' should have."
Split personality?
Or maybe it's schizophrenia or something like that...
Hitzfeld's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't understand the principle for a moment.
It's not that there are no similar examples, but she felt that the reason why the person opposite her said this was most likely because he was influenced by the blood source.
The King of Blood...
The billions of drops of blood she shed also contained her will.
To judge whether a person is trustworthy, we should not look at what he says, but what he does.
Hitzfeld did not trust "Improl", but he held considerable power and had not made any unusual moves for so many years, and his contentment was real.
So she was willing to continue the conversation and said hesitantly: "You haven't told him how he is now..."
"He's still alive." The other party interrupted her.
"You said he was dead!"
Madeline couldn't help herself and interrupted, "You said - he's dead!"
How can a person say he is "still alive" when he is dead, his flesh has rotted away, and his bones have been occupied by new spirits?
Isn't this like dying and living again?
Madeline couldn't understand it at all.
Luca nodded his head.
He now feels that this trip was a good one as he heard a lot of secret information.
"Oh, actually you have already met him."
Improl raised his voice.
"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Hitzfeld feels sick when exposed to the sun, and this... dark-haired Miss Imaer feels sick when exposed to the street."
"How do you know?" Xia Yibing frowned.
She didn't tell anyone about this!
"That's him."
The old man looked over calmly.
“Sunshine and people.”
"That's him."
Chapter 180 Blood, Bone, and Flesh
"This matter has to start from the early history of Oujin City."
During the meal, a nun brought a fruit plate, and Improl ate while talking big.
"The history of Oujin City has been completely cut off in the Corrupted Blood Kingdom. This is because Yinsel was afraid that his biggest secret would be exposed, and he interfered to cover up the truth about the sun and the fact that this Oujin City was a fake."
"Oujin City was originally a port city in the northeast corner of Aisha Continent, and its rulers were the Niang family of the Silver-Eyed Seagulls. The Niang people once maintained an alliance with the Sun King Aimen-Haven, and provided her with money and troops when she was still a human, helping her to repel powerful enemies on earth. Later - according to the ancient books found in Yinsel's memory, the city was involved in a 'disaster that spanned time and space', and was pulled up from its original place and involved in the turbulence called the 'Sea of Time'."
"It was also from that moment that the nature and significance of Oujin City changed." He glanced at the faces of these people. "From a city on earth to a city in the sky, the leader of the Neon people only needed to hold the 'beak sword' to command the silver-eyed seagulls. These elves held up the entire city out of thin air. From that moment on, it had a new name - the City of White Feathers."
"But it can't always count on the Silver-Eyed Seagulls. It's physically impossible for these elves to hold up a city. The reason they can do it is because it's the Sea of Time, and the rules of reality are intertwined in the turbulence."
"Once it was out of time, Seagull City would immediately fall, so the Neon people exchanged the ancient floating city's transformation technology from the Sun King and invited her to leave a divine fire seed in the core engine. With this as energy, Seagull City transformed into a true holy city. It once had the opportunity to be incorporated into the Kingdom of the Sun God."
"Then why wasn't it incorporated?" asked Madeleine.
She was already listening attentively... She had loved reading all kinds of stories about seafaring adventures since she was a child, as could be seen from the fact that she regarded Mar Bakinsa as her hero.
Since she was sure that the other party was not an enemy, she had almost no resistance to this kind of thing.
"Oh, there are too many legends." Improl smiled at her, "It is recorded that the leader of the Neang people coveted the goddess, but was rejected by the kingdom of God because of his transgressive words and deeds... Some people also say that this is the will of the ancestors of the Neang people - Oujin City can become the guardian of the kingdom of God, orbiting it like a satellite in astronomy, but it is best not to join it. I can't say what the specific secret is."
"But this is not the point. Don't focus on this. I tell you all this just to let you know what a glorious history the real Oujin City has, as well as its internal structure and the treasure it truly possesses, which is the Divine Fire Seed."
"Let's skip this topic for now and return to his experiment." He turned his gaze to Hitzfeld again, "You know how difficult it is to control a god corpse with a mortal body."
No I don't know.
The corner of Hitzfeld's mouth twitched.
I haven’t tried it… Of course, I can actually imagine it…
"He has a lot of ideas," Improl said. "He realizes that this is not going to work in any way except one way."
"He wants to... learn how to merge the Nine Knights with the Divine Corpse!" Xia Yibing shouted with wide eyes.
This was the only shortcut she could think of... because indeed, this path had been taken by someone before, and it could be said that it had been successful.
Even if it failed in the end, after all, the human will, no matter how bright the flames that burst out in an instant, is still too dim compared to the billions of years of memory of the great ones - but at least, it succeeded in that short period of time.
"He divided 'Insel' into three parts." Improl's next sentence was simply shocking.
"One is the bone, which breeds the residual spirit, representing the path he once adhered to."
"One part is meat, which was fused with the evil god and sealed inside the real Oujin City. The evil god's spirit was roasted and melted with the seeds of divine fire. The sunlight you see here is the 'corrupted light' projected through the vortex."
"The last one is blood, which blends into the blood mud and the crowd to recreate Oujin, just like the ground under your feet and the people on the street... Yes, they all have his incarnation in their bodies."
Luca was eating fruit with him with a crunching sound just a second ago, but when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned and stopped chewing.
What the hell?
Wait... isn't that a bit too much information?
"You mean the 'light of corruption'?" Hitzfeld asked, "The sun that can be seen on the Elsa continent is the 'light of corruption'?"
