Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 499 The Great Fraud

Sylvie looked at her hands, the firefly-like light spots disappeared after touching the skin.

Puzzled and dazed, the purple eyes were full of confusion.

"Ralph, do you want to give this power to me?"

"I'll give it back to you."

"I don't understand." Sylvette clutched her head, the pain gathered in the girl's head, the pain seemed to tear her consciousness apart, just like the disintegrated Degonris.

"I didn't expect to be able to wake you up simply," Ralph sighed resentfully, and patted Sylvester's elm head.

Ralph spat out a series of questions.

"Will the Luoshutar family let their bloodlines choose their own way of survival? Let one of their own bloodlines live with a group of untouchables as humans?"

"They will ignore you, let your hatred of vampires grow wantonly, and make you the key to cursing the bloodline of Lorshtar?"

"Why does the monster of Degonris coexist peacefully with a human like you?"

"Why, in the plan of the blood angel Galalon, your sacrifice is required?"

"What is the power beneath Degonris?"

Sylvie raised her hand.

"I don't know about the rest, but about the buried power, didn't you say that, Ralph? It's the prison law, a set of familiar and sound bureaucratic rules. You revealed it yourself, and you can do it in such a short time. I was impressed to find a way to break the game.”

Ralph tilted his head and spoke flatly.

"Oh, prison rules, that's a lie to you."

"???"

"Everything that happened in Degonris, from when Violet and I came to Degonris until just now, was all a scam arranged by me."

"I deceived the enemy, I deceived you, I deceived Violet, and even myself."

Sylvie was stunned by Ralph's words.

"But...but...what did you lie to us?"

Ralph squatted down, and took out the small sandalwood box, which contained the Philosopher's Stone bullets.

He took out an ordinary alchemy silver bullet from the box, "a silver bullet soaked in garlic essential oil, which can cause great damage to vampires." Ralph inserted the bullet into the mud of Degonris, the black bullet The silt was full of bullets.

"What do you see?"

"...a bullet stained with black mud?"

"Wrong, look carefully."

Sylvette squinted her eyes and stared carefully at the bullet in Ralph's hand. The black mud on it slipped down due to gravity, creating a twisting feeling, which created a common sense of familiarity with a substance in the girl's memory.

"It's... the Philosopher's Stone Bullet?!"

"Yes."

Ralph flipped the box instead, and the "Philosopher's Stone bullets" fell on the dirty ground, and the wolf didn't care about these finishing bullets at all.

"As I said, I have plenty of this thing, and Degonris has ready-made materials. I can knead the Philosopher's Stone bullets out of gravel and black mud."

Ralph's Philosopher's Stone bullets were all ordinary bullets with some mud on him.

"But...but these bullets did end the lives of those monsters. If they are just muddy bullets, why do they have the ability of Philosopher's Stone bullets?"

Ralph stared at Sylvie with those dead fish eyes.

"Because I told you they were Philosopher's Stones, and you believed them to be Philosopher's Stones."

"I believe?"

"You believed it was the Philosopher's Stone, so the bullet ended the monster. You believed I could kill the monster, so I killed the monster. You believed I could kill the angel, so I killed the angel. All of this, Because, you believe."

"The power that shrouds this land is not the law of the prison, but your belief. Within your domain, Sylvie, what you believe will become true."

"That's why, I'm going to the trouble of telling you the story of Ba Jin and the Philosopher's Stone. I need to provide a credible reason for me to have the Philosopher's Stone. Ba Jin made the Philosopher's Stone and gave it to me."

"The Philosopher's Stone was my first attempt at deception, that was my first attempt at guessing the nature of this power."

"That's why I kept repeating to you in the cemetery that I dug Ba Jin's grave, not to correct your naive thoughts. Your naivety has nothing to do with me. Even if you set Degonris on fire, it has nothing to do with me. I To plant a hint in your heart that I did get the Philosopher's Stone, let your heart deepen the concept that the Philosopher's Stone is held by Ralph."

"The first time I tried it, I was also quite nervous. But I succeeded, and I verified my conjecture, so after that, I started to be unscrupulous."

Ralph covered his face and shook his head slowly, "Roaring like a beast, charging like a warrior, rebellious and aggressive, that's not my style."

"But I played it well. I let you believe that I am a wolf that can compete with angels."

"As for the subsequent fabrication, the law of the prison. I'm telling you. Use your power to let me confront the angel Galalon head-on."

"This is a deception against you, Sylvie. You are so easy to deceive, you will believe everything I say. I think that group of vampires must have committed the same deception as me a long time ago. "

"Let you believe that you are the blood of the Luo Shutar family, and make you believe that you are a human being."

"This also explains the reason why the law seals the power. You are constrained in the worldview they instilled in you. In the eyes of an ordinary young lady who only has connections with vampires, there are only humans and vampires in this world. Therefore, other powers are You denied it."

"The angel covets your power, Sylvette, but he can't hurt you with his own hands. The only way to cheat your power is you, voluntary sacrifice."

"You are being played around, stupid girl."

Sylvie's face was cloudy and uncertain, she lowered her head, and she could see the deep purple light from the gap in her hair.

"When did you become aware of this rule?"

Ralph took the musket from Violet.

"When I first came here, I introduced myself. I said we are 'demon hunters'. It was originally an unintentional remark, in order for us to better integrate into this city."

"For some reason, I'm very sensitive to my body."

"Just after my disguised identity was revealed, my body became flexible and my arm muscles swelled up a bit. I'm not good at fighting head-on, so I know my abilities very well."

"At that time, I realized that the power buried in the earth is not our enemy, it can be used by me."

"Words follow suit, then such a rule must have a long-eared listener who can transform the true and false information I convey into reality."

"That's you, Sylvie."
