Chapter 864

The realm of all souls.

In this gray world, the majestic Iron Bridge in jet black is the most conspicuous sight. On both sides of the bridge, a huge cast iron statue stands at every other end. They are all upright sculptures of the same human form, 60 meters high, wearing a hooded robe, without showing their face, two groups of pale flames jumping in the eye sockets, and at the same time embodying two diametrically opposed moods of silent eternity and splendor. Like the Death God who judges the dead, and like a beacon to guide the soul.

On the bridge, an Assyrian teenager walked towards the other end of the bridge stiffly under the silent overlook of the statue. His expression is numb, his eyes are hollow, and his naked chest is painted with blue oil paint, which is the color that represents the identity of the sacrifice. And around him, there are many Assyrians in different costumes staggering in the same direction.

Bertina flapped her butterfly wings and flew fast over the bridge. She shouted, "Hurry up, turn around, and you will die if you go further!"

These The Assyrians did not hear of it, and continued to move forward. Bertina was anxious, so she swooped down and dragged the young Assyrian boy with a green face. Her strength was great, and the hollow-eyed teenager was dragged backwards, but more Assyrians were moving forward unswervingly.

When they approached the other side of the bridge, the color on their bodies faded and turned into a gray look just like the surrounding environment, and finally turned into dust and dissipated in the never-ending air current.

Bertina let go of the Assyrian boy and turned to rescue the others, but the Assyrian boy stepped on the Iron Bridge again.

"It's useless, they are dead."

The Queen of Ant-Man stood at the end of the cast iron bridge, watching Bertina repeat the useless things, just amused. Funny again, I can’t help but persuaded: “Bell, because he wastes time on meaningless things, it’s better to build that spell model. I can feel that you are running out of time...”

Bertina screamed, stopped in front of the Queen of Ant-Man, and said angrily: "You tell them to stop, and I will learn the spell model."

The Queen Ant-Man raised her white and flawless forelimbs, tapped the ground, shook her head and said: "I can't do it."

Bell flew around the Queen and asked excitedly: "Why did you do it? No, aren’t you the master of Spirit Eater Island? Can’t you transform these poor souls?"

The Queen of Ant-Man sighed helplessly and explained again: "How many times have I told you? , No one can transcend the law of the world. This Iron Bridge is the manifestation of the law of the world, and it is the law that simulates the return of the soul to the void. The soul begins in the void and returns to the void. The so-called void refers to the Fire Element sea. After a person dies, the will The side first dissipated, and the soul fire gradually extinguished. This is just a superficial understanding. In fact, the soul fire has not been extinguished. When the will side dissipates, the soul fire loses its restraint and begins to dissipate, revealing the essence of its void Fire Element. If the scattered soul fire encounters certain fragments of will, it will form fragile ghosts. Therefore, the Assyrian Witch Doctor can see the existence of spirits. Whether ancestral spirits, animal spirits, or natural spirits, according to your human terms, they are called ghosts. The imprint of the will of powerful creatures is very strong, not so easy to disintegrate, their ghosts last longer, but ghosts are ghosts, souls are souls, the two are not the same thing. Just like the ghost of the furbolg Elder you captured is shaped into a ghost The powerful Guardian Spirit......"

"It's called a sugar bowl!" Bertina called.

The Queen of Ant-Man followed Bell's meaning and said: "Okay...The sugar bowl is not the original furbolg Elder, the original furbolg Elder is dead, you can fill it up according to your preferences and cognition. It has the Guardian Spirit sugar bowl on the side of its will."

"Huh? I was so good." Bertina raised her delicate and cute round face, her hands on her waist, triumphantly To say.

"The soul cannot last forever, and the soul fire will eventually return to the Fire Element sea." The Queen Ant-Man continued: "You are the chosen one. The innate talent of witchcraft is related to the law of the soul. Shaping the Guardian Spirit is like Breathing the air is as simple and natural as possible, but you don’t understand the laws and principles. The sugar bowl cannot escape the fate of extinction. Its existence depends on the realm of all spirits to provide it with spiritual essence, and the spiritual essence is pure soul fire. Assyrian soul."

"This Iron Bridge obliterates the will side of Assyrian souls, stripping away their memories, emotions, and cognition, leaving only pure soul fire. Assyrian souls cross the bridge just like souls In the process of returning to the World Source, the Island of Soul Eater symbolizes the Fire Element Sea and represents the home of the soul and fire.” The Queen of Ant-Man, Chun Chun taught, “We can’t go beyond the limits of the laws of the world. We can only follow the laws and borrow the power of the laws. It’s like water flowing to a low place forever. No matter how high you sprinkle the water, it will still fall. The same goes for these Assyrian souls..."

The Assyrian soul turned it into a pale flame, pulled it over out of thin air, and said: "The only thing I can do is collect the soul fire, and according to the rules of couldn't be changed, shape them into Ant Race souls."

The pale soul fire burns and beats at the fingertips of the Queen Ant-Man, gradually shrinks and becomes fiery-red. The Queen of Ant-Man waved away the soul fire in her hand and let it turn into dust and land on the ground of the Spirit Eater Island. "Now, shaping the soul of Ant Race is an unbearable burden for me, and it is also an unbearable burden for the poor Assyrian soul. It makes no sense. Bell, my student, if you have mercy on these souls, then destroy this Iron Bridge that represents the return of souls."

"Can this save them?" Bell blinked The clear big eyes asked expectantly.

"No." The Queen Ant-Man gave a negative answer and said instead: "But you can break away from the shackles of the realm of spirits, return to the real world, and stop the Assyrian war."

p>

The Queen of Ant-Man turned her gaze to the Assyrian soul on the Iron Bridge, wrinkled her forehead, and said: "Normal blood sacrifice, the soul of the sacrifice will only fall on the side of the pale Holy Lord and be transformed and absorbed by him. ...This is no different from going to the Spirit Eater Island. But during this time, the Assyrian soul continuously appeared near the Iron Bridge, indicating that the Assyrians are experiencing a cruel war. If someone dies outside, it will be here. There are souls appearing. Thousands of Assyrian souls are attracted by Spirit Eater Island, and more souls may have been swallowed by the pale lord."

Bertina waved her white and tender little fist, angrily "The pale lord is a bastard! I wanted to go out a long time ago..." Then, she flapped her wings and flew in front of the Queen of Ant-Man, and asked with concern: "Angelina, what do you do then? After I am gone, no one will talk to you, will you be afraid?"

The Queen of Ant-Man, who has survived for more than 20,000 years, has a heart like Bottomless Abyss, and Bertina’s warmth and care are for him Words are like stones thrown into the abyss, unable to arouse the slightest echo. But He still smiled and said: "Little fellow, you pity the Assyrian soul and you pity me. Isn’t this contradictory? Don’t worry, I’m used to loneliness... It’s just that the last Iron Bridge is broken to sustain food. The source of Spirit Island’s power is also cut off, and I will eventually fall, but that will happen thousands of years later...Bertina, I must remind you that due to the Assyrian war broke out, Pale The Lord will soon fall into eternal sleep. He will impose a will that does not belong to you on your soul according to the rules of the Holy Spirit’s eternal sleep, which contains the inheritance of precious ancestral spirits, which is also a distortion and weight to you. Plastic. Are you willing to accept the pale lord to twist your soul?"

"I hate ancestor spirits, they are so ugly, I don't want to be like them." Bertina shook her head quickly, wrinkling Nose, said with a look of disgust.

The Queen of Ant-Man was nodded with satisfaction and said: "The soul is ugly because of pollution. We must avoid such things from happening to ourselves. But, this is not for you... as long as you are in the realm of all souls. , The inheritance will of the pale lord will definitely affect your soul. However, I have an advanced spell model that can help you accept inheritance without being polluted. Its name is very simple, it’s called'spirit shell', but the content of the spell model It’s very complicated. It will take a few days to master the aptitude of your chosen one..." Bertina couldn't help shivering with the sound coming from the bottom of her heart.

Ant-Man Queen glanced across the bridge, then retracted her gaze, and said to Bell: "The pale lord is about to sleep forever, can you learn the'spiritual shell' model?"

Bertina was obviously frightened by the yelling of the pale lord, she yelled: "I learn!"

******************** *******

In the upper main room of the temple, the ferocious and poisonous piranha vines bloom the most beautiful flowers, bear the sweetest fruits, and hundreds of lovely and smart flower fairies Dancing lightly and gracefully among the verdant vines, play and play. Under their embellishment, the stone-stacked hall is like the Immortal Realm in a dream.

Fermorino and the others saw the natural area in the main room for the first time, and they were full of praise. And the object of their praise is Bertina, as for the pale Holy Lord, no one mentions it anymore.

"Tumen Witch Doctor, several of us gathered together a batch of slave sacrifices, and immediately sacrificed them to All Souls and All Souls to help Queen Bertina tear the realm of all souls. This period It’s very important. We will guard the Queen’s side and welcome her return, so there is no need for other people to come in. What do you think?" Fermornu’s Witch Doctor said.

In addition to the warrior leader Barklock and the youngest son of the old king, Fermornu brought in 4 ancestor spirit Witch Doctors and 7 Assyrian warriors, representing the 8 most powerful families in the upper city. They belonged to The core member of the royal party.

It is not accurate to say that they are still loyal to the dead King Mokmo, but they have always been aristocratic families in royal garb.

The Snake Eye Guard loyal to King Mokmo has been destroyed by the Queen’s Witch Doctor group, but for a long time the Witch Doctor class, which has been suppressed by the king’s power, has not become the mainstream of Uptown in the short term power. Those entrenched old powerful families still have a profound influence on the poor in Xiacheng and dozens of settlements outside the city. Harina Dak tried to weaken their influence by dividing, wooing, and then suppressing some of the old powerful and powerful, and to replace them.

These eight Assyrian noble families were the closest to Mokmo, and they were set up by Queen Harinadak.

They were afraid of Harinadak’s mana and did not dare to confront her head-on, but it was their common choice to unite with Tumen Witch Doctor and seek political power.

Tumen knew very well that these people were not at ease with themselves. He was besieged by the Witch Doctor of the Ancestral Spirits, and the Old Guys headed by Fermornus clamored the most fiercely. They wanted to turn Harinadak's gaze to Tumen.

If Harina Dake is the head of the Witch Doctor group, Tumen is the well-deserved deputy head. If the deputy head becomes the target of everyone's attack, of course their pressure will be much less.

However, Tumen admitted that he was too poor compared to these old princes. Even if Harina Dak allocates some property to him, it cannot be mentioned on equal terms with Fermornu's family wealth. Therefore, he went out to find Eternal Youth Spring, with only a few dozen slave soldiers around him, and Sinu was able to take away more than 100 well-trained slave hunters casually. Although the Sinu family is rich, they are not as good as these old powerful families.

In Assyrian society, wealth represents strength. The wealth possessed by the eight old powerful families is jealous. It is no wonder that Harina Dak will squeeze them out, but dare not act rashly.

The pale Holy Lord falls into eternal sleep, Queen Bertina wakes up, everything will change. Harinadak has mastered the power of the realm of spirits through the queen, and she has no scruples. Eight powerful families can't wait any longer, and closer to Queen Bertina is the best way out.

The "other people" in Femoru's mouth refers to the chief priest of Harinadak. Tumen knew their plans well, nodded, and asked: "What is the status of the remnants of the Snake Eye Guard now?"

Several Assyrian Witch Doctors and warrior made eye contact first, among them A warrior stood up and said: "Several heirs of the old king have joined the remnants of the Snake Eye Guard. There are more than 500 people in total. They are gathering refugee slaves outside the city. I estimate that they can assemble an army of more than 2,000 people."

The Snake Eye Guard, together with the private soldiers of eight powerful families, is definitely a military force capable of subverting the main city of Assyria. What's more, Queen Harinadak has brought her main force and the undead monster to the settlement of Zero Wolf outside the city. The rest of the noble families in the Shangcheng District could not resist this force even if they united.

Tumen glanced at the warrior leader, coldly said: "You really are sheltering the Snake Eye Guard in secret, I am afraid you have also provided a lot of weapons and vine armor."

The slave pushed the little Prince of Cowering in front of him, and said in a stern face: "The great Witch Doctor of Tumen, as long as the little Prince is a servant by the queen, the problem of the Snake Eye Guard can be solved... In addition, the queen is about to tear all souls apart. In the realm, the temple is likely to see the Eternal Youth Spring spewing phenomenon, and the old king’s heirs and the Snake Eye Guard do not interfere with the Eternal Youth Spring here. They have already expressed the posture of obedience to the queen, I think there is no need to put the snake The eye guards kill to the last one."

Tumen didn’t comment, and instead asked: "Where are the sacrifices of the escaped savages?"

Femornu misunderstood Tumen's meaning, startled, and said in a deep voice: "The old king's henchmen let go of the savage sacrifices, creating chaos...More than 2,000 savage sacrifices fled into the forest outside the city, waiting for the queen to wake up, the great Witch Doctor Tumen As the chief priest, we will send slave soldiers to capture the savages and give them to you as property."

Obviously, the eight powerful families did not associate with the Imerson Witch Doctor. Tumen secretly relaxed, and immediately communicated with the natural spirit of the flower fairy, and the calm piranha vines were like a angered python, flying towards Fermornu and the others. Among them, the Assyrian warrior reacted quickly, but in the hall full of piranha vines, their resistance or fleeing was futile. After a few struggles, they were firmly tied up by the thorny vines like the ancestral spirit Witch Doctor. . With the strong paralytic toxin injected into the body, the super piranha completely subdued them.

Fermornu panted heavily and stared at the nonchalant Witch Doctor Tumen, and asked: "You...why?"

"Because, Tumen Yi You know I'm here when you come in."

The vine bushes in the corner of the main room separated automatically. The enchanting figure and the gorgeous purple-patterned Harinadak walked out with a snake stick. With a playful smile on her face, she shook her head and said, "The jungle in the natural realm hides my traces and aura. Only the natural great Witch Doctor like Tumen's grandfather can perceive my existence...you, No!"

"Harry Nadak...you, you didn't go to the Zero Wolf settlement?!" Fermornu turned his head hard, staring wide-eyed, and said in disbelief.

The beautiful female Witch Doctor who seems to be carved with ivory ignored Fermornu. She twisted her snake waist and walked straight to the strong warrior leader, offering a fragrant kiss to her lover. The bound ancestor spirit Witch Doctor and the Assyrian warrior discovered that Barklock, who had come together, was not attacked by the piranha vines.

Harina Dak turned around, squinted her eyes slightly, and sneered without hiding: "Why do you think that Bucklock will betray me? Why do you think that it is so important for me to wake up in the queen To leave her at the moment?"

She should really be proud that the remnants of King Mokmo’s heirs and the Snake Eye Guard are not strong enough to fight against the regaining Witch Doctor class, and when they leave the city, Becomes indistinguishable from a savage, losing the last bit of influence. Harina Duck’s real heartache comes from within the Witch Doctor group. She has never thought of eradicating the wealthy Witch Doctor’s family, but she wants to solve the ambitious like Fermornu. As long as you get rid of a few unruly leaders, the rest will naturally be at peace.

The savage coalition forces besieged the settlement of Zero Wolf, giving Harinadak a good opportunity to deal with internal opponents. She secretly planned with Barklock and pretended to lead her troops to leave the city. In fact, she left the army only halfway through and quietly returned to the main room of the temple. Bucklock is responsible for tricking the head of the traitor into the main room of the temple. There is Bertina's natural realm, and ancestral spirit spells are forbidden. When the ancestral spirit Witch Doctor arrives in the main room of the temple, it is no different from ordinary Assyrians. Harinadak who is lying in ambush can easily kill them all.

The priestess Witch Doctor also didn’t expect that her lover turned out to be the illegal child of King Mockmo, but she herself hid in the main room of the temple. After all, Barklock did not betray her, so that night Run over to confess the truth to her.

Harinadak decided to continue the trapping plan, and the hidden opponents really got the trick. They found Tumen to seek cooperation, but Tumen was not Harinadak’s opponent at all, let alone she There is also the outstanding warrior leader Bucklock around him. In fact, the house arrest of Witch Doctor Tumen is also a necessary method for Harina Dak to deceive political opponents. Tumen is a wise man, he found that Harina Dak did not leave the temple, and did not need her to personally subdue Fermornu and the others.

Femornu wanted to say something, but Queen Witch Doctor didn’t bother to listen to his nonsense, and drove the piranha vine to block the mouths of all the captives. Indifferently said: "Cut off the snake head, no matter how poisonous it is. The snake is just a dead body... Barklock, tell the families that Fermornu intended to murder the queen and was captured by me on the spot, but this matter has nothing to do with the family. I will not pursue it, only Treat Fermornu and the others as sacrifices to all souls."

This was originally the solution that the two negotiated. Barklock said simply: "Okay."

Harina Dak turned her head and smiled at the great Witch Doctor of Tumen and said, "Grandfather Tumen, the orcs and savages who attacked the settlement of Zero Wolf will be dealt with by the City Guard. The sons of Mokmo and the Snake Eye Guard, What do you think should be dealt with?"

Tumen was startled, a kind of unspeakable disappointment. He has achieved this level, and Harina Dak still wants to drive him away from Bertina and prevent him from welcoming the queen's return.

"What do you want to do?" Tumen asked irritably.

Harinadak has won a big victory. She doesn't want to say in a blunt tone at all, and nods: "I agree to their request. Little Prince stays and serves as a slave to Bertina. Wait for the queen. After waking up, I allowed Mokmo’s sons to see the Queen, but they wanted to abolish the title of Prince... I’m afraid they couldn’t believe in other Witch Doctors. In this matter, I would ask Father Tumenzu to come forward and talk to the Snake Eye Guard. "

Tumen was silent for a moment, and nodded said: "Okay, I will leave the temple now and go to the Snake Eye Guard outside the city... Those savage captives who escaped, I will let them catch them by the way. ."

The door of the door turned and walked outside the temple, Barklock asked from behind: "Big Witch Doctor, I will send a few beast warriors to protect you..."

"No! Lest they go to see Wan Ling and blame me again."

Tumen was coldly snorted, and walked out of the main room of the temple without looking back.

Barkerlock stared at the back of the Witch Doctor, watching him walk down the steps of the temple, and asked with some worry: "Harina, do you think the Witch Doctor Tumen would collude with the snake? The Eye Guards, are you not coming back?"

"Not coming back? Be a savage outside? Even if Tumen is willing, the Snake Eye Guards and Mokmo’s sons can’t agree."

Harina Dak smiled like a flower, and said confidently: "Tumen is angry, but you don't have to worry...because he will never betray Queen Bertina."

Harina Dak is right. The Snake Eye Guard and the Assyrian refugees will not follow the Witch Doctor of Tumen, just to be savages. Tumen did not really have the will to betray the queen. However, helping Bertina reunite with her biological father is not a betrayal, it can only be regarded as a political speculation.

When Tumen left the city, he first found the Snake Eye Guard and explained to them what happened in the temple. The Snake Eye Guards loyal to the old king realized that they had lost their internal response. Even if the main guard of Queen Witch Doctor was not in the city, they had no chance of winning now.

The Snake Eye Guards can only accept the conditions of Tumen opening, temporarily stay in the plantation outside the city, and wait for the new king to succeed before accepting reorganization.

The Great Witch Doctor has already learned from the Snake Eye Guard that the assassination at the market was not instigated by them. So after Tumen stabilized the rebels, he immediately entered the forest, looking for traces of rare people. Under the guidance of the natural spirit, he found the savage headhunter and rare beast Legion led by Imerson.

Tumen originally wanted to persuade Imerson to wait for Bertina to wake up, and then he would intervene to help their father and daughter reunite. Unfortunately, the Randal expedition is absolutely impossible to sit and watch Bertina at the mercy of the Pale Lord. The poor Witch Doctor Tumen was captured again, and Nelson decisively ordered a raid on the temple in the main city of Assyria.

Hara Nadak and Bucklock have no idea what happened outside. Hundreds of ferocious rare beasts and nearly a thousand savage headhunters have defeated the limited private troops of the nobles in the upper city. Go straight to the core area where the temple is located.
