After Baer's death, Liao Ji had no reason to fight anymore. He quickly released Jiuyou's "materialized" state, so the flames on the red lotus wings behind his back quickly extinguished until the entire wings turned into nothingness, replaced by , it was the figure of Long Niang who reappeared next to Liao Ji.
Although Jiuyou has always been behind Liao Ji in the form of "Red Lotus Wings", she was not deprived of consciousness and silently saw everything in her eyes, not only the entire battle, but also Liao Ji and Baer afterwards. dialogue, and the last lie of Lord Ashes.
Because of this, Jiuyou lowered her head and looked at the place where Baer passed away. This companion who fought alongside her five hundred years ago was even a guard who was at the "same height" with her. Not a single intact corpse could be left behind, only black mud and filth evaporating into mist and smoke.
Perhaps the only thing that can prove that Baer once existed is the flower stem that was broken by Lord Ashes next to Baer's body, right?
Suddenly Jiuyou frowned.
Because she discovered some abnormalities, she saw that as the black mud became less and less, the deepest part of Baer's body was revealed, as if there was something left behind that had not dissipated with it.
After taking a closer look, that's...
Another flower?
Its appearance is like a blooming lotus, but it has petals as black as ink.
It seemed to be born from the mud of Baer's corpse, but it was a pity that it could not be spotless in the filth like the real lotus.
But even though it was dyed into a black lotus, it did not give people a strange or evil feeling. Obviously, it retained the last aloofness, because someone once said to it that it was special and it was still beautiful.
Soon Liao Ji also discovered the black lotus, but unlike Long Niang who was completely confused, when he put his eyes on the black lotus, a prop prompt about the black lotus suddenly appeared.
[Baer’s soul fragment]
[Quality: ★★★★★ (disaster level)]
[Rarity: Unique]
[Effectiveness: It records some information about Baer during his lifetime. If it can be successfully read and used, certain memory fragments can be obtained]
Soul fragments?
Liao Ji didn't remember that there was such a prop in the game. After he picked it up from the black mud, the black lotus exuded a deep light in Liao Ji's hands, and a large figure seemed to be reflected from the petals of the lotus. The shadow of the priest is the former Baer.
Because of the panel explanation, Liao Ji had a rough understanding of its function, but the problem was.
How to use it?
There was no instruction on "how to use" on it, and when Liao Ji cast an inquiring look at Long Niang beside him, not surprisingly, what he got was Jiu You's shake of the head, something like "soul fragments" was too much for a guard like her. , it’s still too profound and complicated, and Dragon Lady doesn’t understand it at all.
Fine.
Every time this happens, a pink-haired succubus will appear in Liao Ji's mind involuntarily. When it comes to tinkering with these things, Reina, as a "superpower", should be the best at it, right?
I don’t know if it’s telepathy.
Liao Ji had just thought about Reina, but the next second, he suddenly felt a touch. Soon, in the prop space, an item that he had "confiscated" from Long Niang actually jumped out at this moment. Floated in front of him.
That is
a book.
A "training" manual to be precise.
That's right.
It was the training manual that almost made me "climb" out of Long Niang's tent.
He also gave Long Niang this manual as the author who wrote this "training manual".
It's Reina!
Before Liao Ji and Jiu You could react, the goal of this manual seemed to be very clear.
The appearance of Baer's soul fragment was like triggering some hidden spell in the manual, causing the manual to fly directly in front of the black lotus. Immediately afterwards, the manual opened on its own, and a suction force came from it, directly pulling Baer away. The fragments of your soul were "eaten" into the manual!
No.
Judging from subsequent performance, this is more like a "reading" ability.
After "eating" the black lotus, bursts of pink light flashed from the manual. After a few breaths, when the manual was opened again, the content inside was magically rewritten, and it was no longer the previous " "Training" matter, but became lines of new text.
That is
Text about "Curse Ritual".
There was no need for Liao Ji and Long Niang to actually read word for word. The manual quickly flipped through in front of them, transforming these complex and profound obscure words into memory pictures in their minds, and in the pictures The owner is none other than Baer during his lifetime.
It was recorded in detail to them how Baer came up with the curse ritual for the demi-human race. It was the origin of the skeleton altar deep in the ancient wolf clan's restricted area that Liao Ji had gone to before. How Baer came up with it later. With the help of "Mother", he used the huge evil to complete the curse on all demihuman species.
It was precisely because of this vicious blood curse that the subsequent decline of the demihuman race began. As a result, the demihuman race who lost their power no longer had the appearance of "relic users", and the gap between them and the northern humans became wider and wider. After that, slavery was naturally implemented.
The memory picture did not last long, and the light of the manual gradually dissipated, indicating that Baer's soul fragments only ended here.
In the minds of Liao Ji and Jiu You, there was already an extra memory about how to perform this "curse ritual".
The purpose of Baer leaving this soul fragment to himself is obvious, which is to help him eliminate the curse of the demihuman race. This is also the root cause of the current division and decline of the Dragon Kingdom.
As long as the blood curse is not eliminated, the power of the sub-race and humans will never be equal. Even if they abolish slavery in the Dragon Kingdom later, they will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
After all, if you want two races to truly coexist, no amount of political slogans will be of any use. Real respect still comes from the equal strength of both sides.
Liao Ji ended the curse by destroying the ritual altar. The new demi-human race will no longer be cursed by blood. But the problem now is that the millions left in the dragon country have been cursed. What should the cursed demihumans do?
Although it is indeed possible to achieve the ultimate goal of eliminating the curse by constantly changing the blood of new generations, this is really too slow.
Previously, Liao Ji used "Holy Light Technique" to prove that Ishtia's power can indeed eliminate curses, but we can't let the nuns remove them one by one for every demi-race. For individual individuals, Holy Light Technique is indeed very effective. , but for a huge ethnic group, it is just a drop in the bucket.
But now, the soul fragment left by Baer to them has obviously given Liao Ji another way and method.
Perform a reverse curse.
That is.
Blood Blessing Ceremony.
Perform the ritual again and use blessings to "neutralize" the curses on the demihumans. This is Baer's answer to Liao Ji. It should not be said that it is the answer to the dragon lady around Liao Ji.
After all, whether it is a curse or a blessing, there is one thing that cannot be escaped, that is, it requires a huge amount of evil.
Back then, Baer relied on the "Mother" of the old alliance to provide for this part of the trouble.
But for them now.
Only Jiuyou, as a "disaster level", sacrificed this part of her power to complete the ritual.
This will bring about the real rise of the demihuman race and make the incomplete Dragon Kingdom whole again, but the price is that Jiuyou himself will probably be severely damaged by this.
Even serious
Downgrade.
