The Dean Has Arrived

"Because there is not much time, the old man will make a long story short."

The old man didn't seem to see the weird expression on Xi Wei's face, and said to himself: "A hundred years ago, when the old man transformed into a lich, something happened... In short, all the normal thoughts of the old man have been sealed, leaving only The most efficient, rational thinking that will never give up until the goal is achieved. Then the old man at that time made a very dangerous plan."

That is not called rational thinking, but a so-called tendon, right?

"What's the situation? If that's the case, why are you telling me this?"

Xi Wei had already pinched the card with his hand in his pocket, and as soon as he found out that the other party wanted to entangle him here, he would do it immediately.

"Because this avatar consumed a lot of mana just now, this made the old man's normal thinking regain the initiative..." The old man sighed: "The real body of the old man probably thinks that the old man's normal thinking remains in the soul is an obstacle, so Simply cut off the old man from the soul, let the old man live and die here with the ritual."

"What's the matter with the ceremony you're talking about? How can it be stopped?"

Xi Wei didn't bother to care about the other party's sighs, so he asked straight to the point.

"More than a hundred years ago, the old man found an amber from the ruins of an ancient battlefield. There was no living thing in the amber, only a drop of blood-like body fluid. The body fluid has an almost obsessive and instinctive desire for the soul. It can almost Devour and dissolve the souls of all living things."

However, the old man started to say irrelevant words, which made Xi Wei almost throw out a few big magic cards and blow him up...

"Can't you just get to the point?"

he asked dissatisfied.

"If you don't know the essence of this ritual, you will suffer in the end."

The old man replied seriously, and then continued to tell the story solemnly amid Xi Wei's depressed face.

"The old man has searched all the classics that can be found, and even sneaked into the government library of the Mages Association at that time. He was almost smashed into scum by several great magicians, but he still couldn't find the owner of the bodily fluid. record."

As a Lich, he dared to go to the location of the Mage Association where experts gathered. How brave is this guy? And what the hell was it successful, and even escaped safely in the end, this is a dark history for the entire Mage Association!

"The old man heard that after that, Hohenheim built the Gate of Endymion, but this is not the point. Let's get back to the topic."

is it you! Is it because of you that the Mage Association spent so much effort and money to build the super magic checkpoint with a height of more than 300 meters!

Xi Wei felt that the image of Hohenheim in his mind collapsed with a bang...

"Later, the old man came across a strange religion in the land of the orcs. Unlike ordinary orcs, they neither worshiped the blood of their ancestors, nor worshiped the gods of wasteland and war. What they believed in was a religion called 'Oza Odd' weird god."

Xi Wei's body shook. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, he searched for information about the Eldrazi that he could not find for a long time. To hear it at this time!

"That religion is extremely xenophobic. Even ordinary orcs can't join, let alone the old man who is a lich. It took a lot of effort for the old man to catch a believer and ask something from it—it claims to be a traitor The one who worships is an Eldrazi named 'Betrayal Evil'. The old man doesn't know the type of Eldrazi that exists, but according to it, the betrayal evil can judge whether a person is a traitor, if If you can’t pass the check, that person’s soul will be devoured by it, and the body will linger in endless pain—’You beg for death, but it’s in vain’, the old man remembers how it was described. Leaving aside other things, the soul devourer The ability is very similar to the drop of bodily fluid that the old man discovered."

"What does this have to do with the ritual you're talking about?"

The more Xi Wei heard it, the more uncomfortable he became. He sullenly asked in a deep voice.

Although he was also very interested in Eldrazi information, it was obviously not the time to listen to the story quietly.

"The so-called sacrifices often have only two concepts. The first is to offer sacrifices to the object of belief in exchange for power or other sacrifices, which are generally called tribute sacrifices; the other is closer to In alchemy, the sacrifice is submitted and recombined into other things in a certain way. This kind of sacrifice is called refining sacrifice. But neither of these two sacrifices can accomplish what the purely rational 'I' wants. So The 'I' of purely rational thinking designed a third different kind of sacrifice, which is this ceremony."

The shriveled Simon stretched out three withered fingers: "This ritual is actually a combination of three different rituals. The first one is to wake up the old man to extract the biological components from the drop of body fluid, and by mixing other biological bodies, The artificial monsters created in the end, the old man called them 'Nightmare Demons', these things have no souls, but driven by the instinct of the body fluid, they will hunt souls within the range delimited by the ritual, and devour the entire country. The second ritual is to wait for the nightmare demons to hunt each other and make them fight each other. The winner devours the soul essence left by the loser, and repeats this step until the last one. The last ritual is to put the remaining Sacrifice the only Nightmare in the world, completely condensing the soul essence condensed in its body through the second ceremony into the purest crystal in the world."

"Can't the ceremony be terminated immediately?" Xi Wei's eyelids twitched... Nightmare Peat! Isn't this the Gu raising that often appears in martial arts novels!

Being able to create a brand new sacrificial ceremony by himself, even Xi Wei had to admit that Simon Miller, known as the most outstanding alchemist of that era, was indeed a genius.

Probably because he tasted the sweetness in this three-in-one ceremony, so later Simon designed the ceremony where eight little ones kill each other to determine the gods...

"The first ceremony has already started ten years ago. Those nightmare demons have long since awakened, just waiting for the final order... and the moment before you came in, that order had already been issued." The old man said slowly : "The other two ceremonies will also operate in nearly thirty different ways, even if one or two of them are destroyed - and one of them is purely using nightmares as a carrier, which is also set up to prevent people from making trouble .”

Damn, why don't you be so cautious, if all the magicians and alchemists in the world are half as cautious as you, I guess there will be no magic experiment accidents in this world...

Xi Wei wanted to cry about this.

"Have the purely rational 'I' really noticed the existence of the old man?" The old man's withered face showed a... well, probably a smile. Then his skin began to crack at a relatively slow speed: "I don't know how you got in, but now you are the only one who can stop this tragedy."

"Try to defeat as many nightmares as possible. When there is only one nightmare left, the following ceremony will start. The more nightmares you defeat, the less soul essence the other party will get, and the lower the success rate of the ceremony. If you If you can defeat more than half of the nightmare demons, then even if the ceremony is successful, the final product can only be regarded as a waste product." After speaking, he sat down cross-legged and quietly waited for the end of his life: "This old man has done a lot of wrong things in his life. I have already planned to face today in my heart... It's a pity that I can't fulfill my long-cherished wish before I leave, to see the old man's daughter again..."

Skin flakes began to fall off his face, revealing cracked khaki muscles under the skin that looked like clay that had failed to fire. Coupled with the sad and regretful expression of the old man, it looks extremely bleak.

"Speaking of which, are there any monsters like that around here?" Xi Wei asked suddenly.

"Of course, although the number is not large." The old man nodded.

"In that case, let me show you my secret weapon." Xi Wei sighed, put the Exploding Flame Arrow card back in his hand, and replaced it with a new card.

"Come out, Eve Miller!"

ps: The second update is over, dive to sleep...
