Chapter 182 The soul of another world! Resurrection of the Dead
Setting Sun City is not on land. It is a suspended island located at the boundary of the Great Strait.
Although Setting Sun City favors the inheritance of warlocks, warlocks also need to spend money and consume huge amounts of resources. The demand for magic materials is also not small. So they noticed the plane caravan formed by Xiao En very early, but they didn't take any action until today.
The title Witch King originated from the world of the catastrophic setting sun.
Because it was the Taichu Warlocks who created the Witch Kings, and the Dark Age relied on the power of this inheritance to build seven Witch King cities.
——"With the power of magic and spiritual energy, you will become a true god!"
The Calamity Sun was able to control the energy of the sun in its heyday, and most living things on the entire planet had special features in their bodies. Genetic factors can lead to certain psychic talents.
Before the Witch Kings completely drained the life force of the entire planet, that world maintained a fairly high level of civilization.
In the Weird Kingdom, the seven Witch King cities have not annexed each other, and their strength should be about the same. With Amon's character, if the strength of Abyss City could crush them, they would have been annexed long ago.
Ta!
After reaching cooperation, the bloody elf snapped his fingers, and the next second a teleportation array appeared on the ground, followed by groups of soldiers and golem puppets appearing in front of everyone. The most eye-catching one was a silver-white statue. A tall golem, it has extremely smooth metal lines, and the armor on its surface is engraved with countless ancient runes.
——Mithril Golem [Large Structure] [Creation of Ancient Elves] (Challenge Level 24)? !
The bloody elf looked slightly arrogant and smiled: "To show sincerity and maintain the safety of this mine."
"Let us clean up the monsters nearby. "
They have been eyeing Quin-To's plane caravan for some time. The weird caravan composed of humans mixed with bugs and monsters often brings a large number of rare things. At first glance, it looked like it was dug out from deep underground.
The astrologers in Setting Sun City tried to use prophecy to predict, but all the results pointed to one name.
——Eamonn.
After a period of careful consideration, the Warlock Council of Setting Sun City finally decided to cooperate. After all, Abyss City is also one of the seven Witch King cities, and Amon's reputation is enough for anyone to sit down and negotiate.
In the crowd.
The bloody elf seemed to be very interested in the members of the Holy Church of Terra. She had been looking at the priests of Terra who were mixed in the crowd.
At first, she thought this church was a cult organization, but as she got to know more deeply, she found that things were not that simple, because those Terra priests really had divine grace, and they were clearly not extraordinary priests. However, you can pray for 'Divine Power' and 'Aegis Shield'.
With the spread of the Church of Terra, more than 100,000 believers have been able to provide a certain amount of faith power to Terra's will. Although they still cannot grant divine magic, they can still pray for a little bit of divine power through rituals.
According to Xiao En's estimation, after the number of believers reaches one million, it is possible that the Will of Terra will be promoted to a true extraordinary priest.
If a priest appears, the magical system will be revived, and a large number of healers will be born within the church.
It’s more than that.
If divine magic really appears, then the Ranger Path will also gain the ability to cast spells. Currently, the Ranger Path mainly relies on strong physical fitness to fight, but after converting their faith to Holy Terra, they will gain the ability to cast 1-4 level divine spells. .
The magical civilization of another world has two pillars, one is divine magic, the source of power is belief in gods, the other is arcane magic, the source of power is the laws of the world, the extraordinary person in the weird country has always been a The feet are walking.
What Xiao En has to do now is to heal his lame leg.
The basic professions of divine spellcasters are - priest (priest), druid, paladin, ranger (ranger). In addition, there are other advanced professions. Because Druids can directly believe in nature, they can cast spells without resorting to the power of gods. However, if gods grant magical spells, the threshold for Druid advancement will be further lowered. (Perception of 12 points is enough.)
The most important thing in Setting Sun City is the priest, and the priest’s magical skill ‘Resurrection of the Dead’!
The law of death is in human hands.
So if a priest is born, will the 'resurrection of the dead' also take effect?
With this alone, the Church of Holy Terra can attract countless forces to cooperate, not to mention that they can also find countless minerals buried on this planet.
Regarding the research on 'resurrection of the dead', in fact Xiao En has discussed with Ms. Hecate that if the corpse is still well preserved and the soul has not been corrupted into a 'soul shell', the time of death will not be the same. Soon (no more than a day), there will be a chance to directly resurrect the dead.
As for the price, there is a high probability that it will fall to the extraordinary level and a certain amount of physical fitness will be permanently reduced.
Resurrection can't be used in other worlds because the gods of death don't agree and it will disrupt the boundaries between life and death. But the weird country is like this, so resurrecting some people doesn't matter.
Ms. Hecate agrees in principle to the resurrection of the dead, but the River Styx will automatically attract the soul. If it soaks for a long time, there will be no memory after resurrection.
Because the laws of the world are different, those who are resurrected will most likely bear a bit of a curse, and becoming a curser is not necessarily a good thing.
Both Xiao En and Ms. Hecate are very cautious about resurrection.
………………
Ring the city. Necropolis.
Under the pitch-black night, one of the tombs suddenly trembled. The soil of the tomb was obviously filled in recently. As a dirty, pale hand covered with soil stretched out from the ground, Soon a humanoid silhouette crawled out of the tomb.
Ugh!
It was a relatively thin young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with dark brown hair, dull pupils, and a somewhat dazed expression. He immediately started retching after crawling out of the tomb. The cold wind made him shiver. After briefly cleaning the dirt on his body, he seemed to realize something. He looked at his palms, touched his dirt-covered face with his hands, and murmured: "Am I resurrected?"
"And turned into a human being?"
His brain was a mess, and Pav wondered whether his brain tissue was still intact, because he had just pulled a maggot out of his ear.
Fresh brain tissue is regenerating, but the exposed skin is still crawling with white maggots.
Pavor could not find any wounds on his body. It was as if some magical power had repaired all the injuries on his body when he was resurrected. Even his damaged brain was completely restored. .
“Where is this place?”
Driven by hunger, Pavlo walked towards the outside of the necropolis. He suspected that if he continued to stay here, he would become like the food in the morgue. The ghouls couldn't help but dig up the corpses and gnaw on them.
"It's not the resurrection of the dead, and this is not Sigil. It's a bit like the Druid's reincarnation. But haven't the gods already banned the reincarnation of the Druid?"
"Even if I am resurrected, I should be in "Morgue."
Pavlo staggered out of the cemetery. The night was getting darker and there were no lights around. When he looked up, he could see some light in the distance. It looked like There seemed to be people, and there was a large shack there.
"What happened to this ghost place? Why is there such a heavy smell of death?"
In the distance is a ruined wall, which seems to have experienced a very terrible war.
Pavel felt that his brain was in a mess right now, and he couldn't recall many things. It was as if someone had smashed his brain into pieces and restored it, and his whole head was still buzzing.
“That’s right!”
“I was helping the master eliminate a potential competitor.”
“I made a mistake.”
“I Dead.”
Pafo seemed to recall something, some scenes before death, and the outline of her owner. She was very tall, very, very tall, and she often burst into thunderous rage when she was angry. That was the thing that frightened him the most.
Yes.
Master!
His master is Zendalla, a female Titan from Sigil City. She hid in Sigil City after being discovered pretending to be a god from a certain plane. She may not be able to leave there for the rest of her life.
No!
Why did I fail?
Suddenly Pavel shuddered. He thought of his master. He knew too many secrets. If any of those secrets were revealed, he would definitely die.
So hungry!
Hunger made him unable to think. He felt like he had been hungry for at least a week.
Pavlo staggered towards the firelight in front of him. His figure seemed to attract the attention of those people. Soon a burly man trotted over, supported Pavel and asked Said: "What happened?"
"Need help?"
This burly man looked like a warrior, his arms were strong and strong. After seeing Papho's appearance clearly, he froze on the spot, because Papho's body There was also the wet soil of the cemetery, and there were even a few live maggots on his arms.
Behind the man, a middle-aged woman shouted in horror: "It's Vicky! He's resurrected!..." The commotion spread.
People who had just experienced a disaster were full of fear of the resurrection of the dead. Many people backed away in horror. Some even picked up weapons and trembled: "He has become a zombie." ”
At this time, Papho also saw the burly man in front of him clearly.
For a moment, he froze in place because he saw the blurry outline reflected behind the burly man. It was not very clear, but he could see a ferocious pig-headed face and sharp horns. The teeth are as eye-catching as those of an orc, and the reflection is behind the man, as if it is a ghost attached to the body.
"What the hell is this? Demon? Wraith?"
Pavor staggered and almost fell down. He was too weak, but fortunately the burly man in front of him held him up. Holding his arm tightly, a pair of scarlet pupils stared at him, with a hint of excitement in his expression that made Pavel feel uneasy and frightened.
"The soul of another world." The man whispered in an excited voice.
Pafo clearly didn't understand the other party's language, but he understood the other party's words. After resurrecting from the dead, he seemed to understand the language here accidentally.
"Give me something to eat." Pavor gasped, feeling like he was starving to death.
The burly man dressed a bit like a priest, but Pavor had never seen a soldier used as a priest. Hearing the words, he immediately picked up Pavor and said towards the back: "It's not a zombie, he is Resurrected by the grace of Holy Terra!"
"Praise Holy Terra! Go get some food."
The burly man carried him like a chicken. , after hearing Father Terra's words, the others were obviously relieved, and someone handed over the remaining wheat porridge from the evening.
Pav took it and wolfed it down. He suspected that there was nothing in his stomach, and the feeling of fullness made him sober up a lot.
"Thank you."
When Pavel looked up, he shivered all over. He saw many people here. Although they had human faces, they were in his field of vision. Among them, many people are wrapped with translucent and vague tentacles, and some have even been integrated with the tentacles. The weird purple-red tentacles extend from their spines, and then climb along the backs. On the shoulders, it finally wrapped around the neck and squirmed slightly.
Damn it!
What the hell is this place? !
Pafo is an aborigine living in Sigil City. Liches, vampires, demons, angels, demons, titans, etc., what kind of mythical creatures have I never seen? But today, after seeing the weird tentacles reflected behind these people, But he couldn't help but feel a slight tremor of spirit.
There must be something very scary here!
Those human beings were bent over by some unknown existence, but they did not notice it at all. They seemed unaware that there were invisible tentacles wrapped around their bodies.
He doesn’t want to stay in this ghost place for a moment, but before escaping, he must first know where it is.
Demiplane?
Material plane?
Or is it a crystal wall system that I don’t know about?
Just when Pavor was deep in thought, the burly man on the side had already picked him up and walked excitedly towards the outside of the slum. He discovered an alien soul, which could be rewarded by the bishop. , maybe he can be directly promoted from a trainee priest to a formal priest.
"Put me down?! Where are you taking me?!" Pav said in horror.
Under the vast night.
This priest of Terra, who was bigger than a warrior and could arm-wrestle with an orc, carried him and ran all the way. As the light appeared in front of him, Pafo also saw a broken black spire, a bit like a wizard's tower. There are many like this in Sigil City. tower.
Is this the territory of a powerful mage?
Before Pafo could figure it out, a slightly stooped but tall figure appeared. One of his exposed arms was a mechanical arm. Such a body is rare and can only be seen in the underground black market. Modron's Robots don't appear often, and most of them on the black market are gadgets bought from the Mechanical Realm of Clockwork Nirvana. He once had a subordinate who even installed mechanical eyes on himself.
The cloudy pupils and ferocious face seemed to be that of a demon. Even if he was disguised by the Orb of Change, Papho could still see the terrifying silhouette reflected behind him.
It was a shadow shrouded in darkness, like the legendary evil lord. Countless black tentacles extended around its cloak. It swayed slightly with its breathing, and the reflection of the soul looked down at him. , the dark pupils were cold and dull, as if there was only a soul-devouring hunger left.
Pavor even saw it pick up a maggot, no, it should be a soul worm, put it into its mouth and chew it.
This guy is even more evil!
Facing this guy, Pavor thought of the legendary cultists who served ancient evil beings.
The figure opposite smiled and stretched out his hand: "Yvonne Tanner."
"Mechanical Priest of the Holy Church of Terra."
"Hello. Soul from another world."
"I know you have a lot of doubts now, but you don't have to worry, we will answer your doubts soon."
"Follow I'll do it."
"I'll take you to see the archbishop!"
A faint light from the teleportation circle lit up, and regardless of whether Pavor wanted to or not, the mechanical priest carried him directly. He gets into it.
The world is spinning.
When Pavor regained consciousness, he had appeared in front of a high tower, which seemed to be a newly built wizard tower.
The heavy door opens.
He saw the two steel golems guarding the door. Pavor couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after seeing something familiar. The steel golem, the wizard tower, this is the demiplane of a powerful mage. .
But as soon as he stepped in, his whole body froze in place.
He saw a huge black chassis, with countless cables dancing like tentacles, with electric arcs jumping between the cables. On the ground was a complex six-pointed star array, engraved with rune-like symbols, traces of The lightning jumped in it, part of it was absorbed by the black chassis, and the other part was transmitted to the crystal energy pipes around the tower.
"Ancient...ancient...evil thing?!..." Pafo shivered instantly.
He didn't know what it was.
But that ghost thing felt to him like a legendary ancient evil, perhaps even more powerful than his master, the Titan Zedara.
“Soul from another world?”
"Interesting! Can you see my true body?"
Sealed Artifact No. 1 - Mechanical Brain danced the black cable and whispered faintly: "Another highly inspired soul from another world, it should be very interesting. Purpose!”
Yvonne Tanner carried Pav into the spiral staircase of the tower.
A few minutes later.
He stood quietly outside the laboratory and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Bishop, I have already brought you here."
Pavor looked up tremblingly. He saw a laboratory. At the front was a crystal jar culture tank. Inside was a naked, handsome man, about twenty years old. His eyes were closed, he could only breathe, and his whole body was covered with blood. Soak in nutrient solution.
In front of Pavel, another slender and tall figure slowly turned around, and he saw a handsome face that was almost exactly the same as the one in the crystal culture tank.
——Clone!
One of the resurrection methods of a powerful mage is to cultivate a new body for resurrection.
At this moment, Pavel felt that it was so difficult to breathe, because he saw a rotating purple nebula reflected behind the powerful mage opposite. The outer layer was a translucent bubble, and there was countless knowledge in it. Rune culture makes the stars rotate.
No creature has ever given him such a terrifying feeling in the past. Pavel can't help but tremble just by looking at it. This powerful mage is more terrifying than the ancient evil thing below!
Even the former master, the Titan Zedara, never made Pavel's soul tremble when she vented her Titan's thunderous fury.
Xiao En stared at the alien soul in front of him calmly.
He gently raised his palm, and sent a pair of strange glasses to the other party with his telekinesis. Xiao En said lightly: "Bring it on. It will make you feel much better."
< br>Pavor stretched out his hand tremblingly and hesitated: "What is this?"
Xiao En said calmly: "It's called confusion. It's a gadget."
"It can block your inspiration."
