Before he finished speaking, a twisted corpse stood upright with a strange posture.
In his hollowed-out chest, there was an even weirder heart of thorns. The Heart of Thorns is a fruit from the Tree of Thorns that can replace a human heart. The Briarheart Tree that forges it must absorb the essence of flesh and blood in order to grow. The role of the Heart of Thorns is to connect with the demon god Hircine and obtain the power and magic granted by the demon god. The most perfect Heart of Thorns once allowed the Reach hero Faolan, the "Red Eagle", to hold the flaming blade Red Eagle. Red Eagle's Fury killed an army of thousands.
Normally, a Reacher would plant a Heart of Thorns only after death, becoming a spirit of vengeance—a warrior-like undead creature. But some of them are vaccinated by living people, and the Rich people regard this opportunity as a privilege.
Just like now. Each Forsworn who stood upright had a heart of thorns implanted in the open chest.
So the blood that was shed earlier obviously came from these Forsworn ones whose hearts were gouged out.
The combat power of the Forsworn who becomes the Champion of the Heart of Thorns will be significantly enhanced. Some people even say that they have no emotions and no pain, just like the "living dead". But judging from their beating hearts of thorns, they still seem to be considered "living creatures". Because everyone knows that the heart of the living dead cannot beat.
Facing Proserpine, the lone intruder, the Heart of Thorns warrior pulled out his battle ax stiffly. The blood vessels that are constantly bulging from under the skin indicate that the Heart of Thorns warriors seem to be gradually adapting to the surging new power that comes with the beating Heart of Thorns.
"Roar--" roared angrily, and the Thorns Forsworn at the front raised his sharp blade and rushed in front of Proserpine in one lunge. The dark pupils were inhumane, and the tomahawk whizzing down in his hand was even more ruthless.
Before the battle ax could hit his forehead, Proserpine kicked Thorn Forsworn away.
The fusion of the ancient blood of the old king of Nord and the battle blood of the Red Guard made this kick full of explosive eternal power.
The Thorns Forsworn flew backwards and turned into a flesh and blood cannonball. He used his curved back to collide hard with his companion's straight chest.
boom! boom! boom--
Blood and flesh splattered all the way, and everyone was torn apart and exploded into pieces that died together.
It was as if a hurricane was passing by, and the long corridor was covered with blood and flesh splattering up, down, left, and right. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all covered with splatters.
On the floor dripping with flesh, only the beating hearts of thorns remained. Like big red-spotted frogs hiding in the mire of flesh and blood.
"Ah, it is truly a harvest of death." Night Gate Violet Jeannade, who witnessed everything, blew a frivolous whistle: "You were in bed with me last night, right?"
Jovaska Beeflower Melissa, who is also a dark elf, chuckled: "The resilience is indeed as amazing as the durability. How do we put it in the words of us men? The skin is strong and can be used. It will not explode if there are too many tanks."
As he spoke, axes flashed, blood and flesh splattered. Death Harvest Proserpine fought his way up to the attic.
Accompanied by shrill wails, a thin figure broke out of the window. The shattered stained glass fell to the ground. With a bang, he was thrown on the cobblestone street. His bones were broken all over his body, and his mouth and nose were bleeding. It was almost impossible to survive.
Night Gate Violet Jeannade smiled at the Death God Harvest Proserpine who was looking down at him: "Thank you for your help. The more you help, the harder it will be."
"Is he dead?" Proserpine's expression said it all. It's been a long time since I've had such a bold battle, and I really miss it.
"Although he won't die, he probably won't get better either." Yovaska Bee Flower Melissa waved her hand gently, and Agent Ximu immediately stepped forward and surrounded the mastermind who was smashed to pieces. And confirmed the identity immediately. It was the witch named Helgi. That being said, he should still be able to be saved.
By the time the lord who went deep into the Secuda Ice Creek Mine received the message, Witch Helgi had confessed everything.
Just like in Asgard's Furnace Temple, the sorceress once tactfully reminded Wu Chen: Anis and her witch sisters hope to transform into crow hags through a special ritual. Do they want to spend time by Lake Ilinata? In the forest area, build a Rich tribe?
At that time, Wu Chen immediately thought of the mysterious Shade Clan in Ruichi, which had always relied on "hunting hunters" as their way of survival. If you follow the Coldfall Mountains from the Reach and pass through the Lost Valley, you will reach the vast forest beside Lake Ilinata. Then crossing the North and South Breitsin Mountain Pass via Crisp Shan Pass, it is obviously a shortcut for the invasion without going around the Falkreath Territory.
Therefore, the people who covet the Ximu Limestone Gold Mountain are not only the dragon from Tianji, but also the Shade Clan from Rechi.
The confession of Witch Helgi partially confirmed the sorceress’s speculation.
The unconfirmed part is that this coven headed by Anis is not just the crow hags worshiped by the Forsworn. There is also a necromancer who believes in Namira, one of the sixteen demon gods.
Namira (Nord: Namila), the demon god who controls darkness, corruption and the unknown. Represents ancient darkness; known as the Daedric spirit, the ruler of the underworld, the spirit of shadow; associated with spiders, insects, borers, and other unpleasant creatures that arouse nausea in mortals, and dominates all kinds of Dark, ugly souls as well as spiders and insects. The title is "Lady of Decay". There is an artifact "Ring of Namira" left, and players can become corpse eaters after wearing it.
According to Namira, decay is a prerequisite for regeneration and part of the natural order. So in a sense, Namira's divinity is actually "nature's attitude towards death", just like maggots devouring corpses in the natural environment. It is like a "scavenger of nature", so in the eyes of Namira's followers, eating dead bodies seems to be a matter of course. Therefore Namira is also considered one of the Daedra benevolent gods.
She dominates many spiritual worlds and controls various dark spiritual bodies. The Khajiit believed she was somehow connected to Lorkhan. Namira represents the things that gather in the darkness, not the darkness itself. Her image is that of a dark witch who is always accompanied by an imp.
"So the demon god worshiped by the Shade Clan is actually the corrupt lady Namira." Wu Chen, who was sitting in the cave hall, looked away from the letter.
"Yes, Master, maybe this is also the deep meaning of 'shade'." The housekeeper nodded lightly. "Shade" implies shadow and darkness.
For Jovaska Beebloom Melissa and Night Gate Violet Jeannade, the two Giesesying ladies used lightning-fast methods to eradicate the cancer hidden in the territory and nip it in the bud. The housekeeper was very appreciative: "It seems that they really want to plant a thorn tree in the Great Lakes Forest area and establish their own clan. And the witch coven headed by Annis is highly integrated with the Shade Tree Clan in terms of goals. To put it simply, the Crow Hag and the Shade Clan are a natural symbiotic alliance."
"Besides, are there any witches who believe in Namira?" Wu Chen asked.
"Yes, Master." Although the two Mrs. Gisei Siying in charge of Ximu Secret Agent did not explain in the letter, the housekeeper knew the Namira Witch Coven well: "There are two chief elders in the Namira Witch Coven. , the male is called Sang Yan, and the female is called Nimferas, both are necromancers."
"The Shade Clan that hunts hunters." Wu Chen said thoughtfully: "Send a message to Melissa and Janeide: Find out the contact information of the Shade Clan as soon as possible."
"Master's intention..."
"If the Shade Clan really believes in natural death and hunts down hunters who go deep into the dense forest, it may not conflict with us." Wu Chen has the foresight of a lord.
