Chapter 90 Blood Source and Mirror Master
Chapter 90 Blood Source and Mirror Master (1W)
In the mountains far away from the border of Kevir territory, there is no grass growing here, the trees are withered, and except for the layers of rocks piled up, there is only desolation.
This is a famous mining holy land, the boundary of the Feilong Mountains, and the border of the old city.
Countless bats appeared from afar, and the darkness blocked out the sunlight. They flew towards a cave at the foot of the mountain, and circled at the entrance of the cave without stopping for a long time.
The torch on the rock wall illuminates the cave. At the end, there is a "person" lying on his side on the ground.
Its appearance is very strange, its face is bloodless, its skin is so thin that it is almost transparent, and you can even clearly see the cyan blood vessels under the skin. It has no hair or body hair, and its body is skinny but strong. It seems to be sleeping with its eyes closed.
Suddenly it opened its eyes, slowly opened its mouth, and made a hoarse sound.
"You haven't found it yet...the spell of ancient blood!"
Belmont knelt before the cave entrance.
"Sir, sir, it's coming soon, we'll find it soon."
In an instant, Belmont was sucked into the hole by a force. The elder grabbed his throat and stared at him with crowded eyeballs popping out of his forehead.
"I'll give you another month."
"Understood, my lord."
The bats entrenched at the entrance of the cave scattered and flew away into the distance.
It is the Shadow Elder, the most terrifying vampire.
……
There is a chill in the air in Kevir, and there are only a few people on the streets.
Bats flew across the sky from time to time. Some of them landed on the roof of a house, some got in through the windows of the house, and some gathered in the trees.
Several bats passed through the narrow alley and flew to a luxuriously decorated building when no one saw them.
A carriage rolled over the gravel road and drove slowly towards here.
The car stopped in front of the building, the driver came down and opened the door, and Cohen, one of the agents of the Church of Eternal Fire, stepped out of the carriage.
Cohen was wearing a black coat and suit. He put on a felt hat and looked at the building in front of him.
This building is the Holy See of the Sorceress. The decoration inside the building is very gorgeous. Keville, who pays attention to simple design, seems to have not applied the simple concept to this building. The walls on both sides of the hall are carved with fine murals, and the golden sunshine The bright light shines in through the transparent windows, and the marble floor tiles reflect the dazzling light. Everything tells visitors that the nobility and quality of this place are extraordinary.
"The chairs here are really uncomfortable..." Cohen sat on the chair in the living room, his body squeezing the chair so full that there was no room left.
The assistant on the side looked at him and said, "Mr. Cohen, it's time for you to lose weight."
"Uh……"
"Are you sure you don't want to take a rest?" A sorceress put the tea in front of Cohen's table and said, "Although we have asked the waiter to notify the church, it will still take some time to arrive."
Cohen raised his eyebrows: "I want to see the Origin Warlock soon. After all, the Origin Warlock has never appeared again after Xili. We have recently been studying a secret ability. With it, even ordinary people may be able to Using spells, and more importantly, maybe this kind of thing can bring new conveniences to society, such as energy, but researching this kind of thing will still encounter some problems. Maybe the mysterious power of the source warlock can help us find other breakthroughs. "
"Mr. Cohen, you obviously don't want to stay in Coville because of the price problem." The assistant's untimely sharp language made Cohen a little embarrassed.
"I shouldn't have promoted you in the first place..."
The sorceress smiled, looked at the hour hand on the clock in the room and said, "I think they may have to wait a while before they arrive. Would you like to have some lunch? The food here is pretty good, and... it's free."
After hearing this, Cohen stood up slowly while holding on to the armrest of the chair, and said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for? We can chat about recent experiences while eating, and I think my assistant must be hungry too."
Assistant: "Don't use me as a cover for free meals..."
At this time, there were three knocks on the door.
A waiter dressed as a nun walked into the room, bowed his head humbly and said: "Gentlemen, you have been waiting for..."
"No need to announce, long time no see, Mr. Cohen."
Following the sudden sound outside the door, a woman wearing a white robe walked in.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Behind her were several soldiers and a woman also wearing a white robe, but with a hood.
"You go out," the woman said to all the waiters and soldiers.
When the door was closed, Cohen stood there and smiled: "Morris, how come you guys arrived so soon?"
There is a gathering place in the Sorcerer Church, which symbolizes the supreme leadership of the Sorceress. It is also known as the Sisterhood of Sorceresses.
Morris was a member of one of the sororities.
Well... despite the fact that the name is the same as a compulsory dating organization, the six warlocks in the assembly hall symbolize the highest magical power in the world.
Speaking of the Sorceress Holy See, let me mention here that in the ending of the original work, Geralt’s old sweetheart Triss has a branch ending. Triss and Geralt make a decision at the Novigrad docks where the strong winds are blowing. A final farewell and then off to Coville.
And then there is the story after that - on this land, a new sorcerer gathering was re-established with her as the center, and finally developed into the current sorceress Holy See.
"Because we're just a block away from here," Morris said.
"Then who is this?" Cohen looked at the hooded woman behind her.
"Come and introduce yourself, Miss Yuan Warlock."
Cha Bai nodded slightly, took off his hood, revealing his delicate face, and stared at everyone present with his gray-blue eyes.
"Chabai, this is my name."
……
Facing Cha Bai who was sitting across from him with his legs crossed, Cohen's throat rolled.
Although this girl is wearing a big robe, and although her breathtaking figure is vaguely outlined on the surface of the robe, her aura of not allowing strangers to enter is very awkward. In short, she does not dare to show interest...
"Okay, Miss Chabai, let me introduce myself." Cohen lowered his head slightly: "Ma Grant Cohen, one of the current agents of the Eternal Fire, is also a humble scholar."
Chabai nodded.
Cohen waited for Cha Bai to continue speaking, but after more than ten seconds, he realized that there seemed to be nothing more to say.
Morris coughed dryly: "Cohen, just finish what you want to say. Cha Bai is a little... talkative."
"I see..." Cohen nodded. Judging from his behavior, he didn't look like the leader of the church at all. To put it simply, he was like some leaders with obvious personalities in reality. He didn't show official authority and treated others equally. He belonged to that group. A boss who usually has no authority at all.
But such leaders are usually highly polarized, either incompetent or extremely capable, and Cohen, as one of the Eternal Fire agents, falls into the latter category.
Being able to switch speaking states at will in an instant is a skill of this type of person. Cohen just blinked and completed the switch to a solemn expression.
It is because of leaders like Cohen that organizations such as the Eternal Flame and the Order of Sorceresses, which have had feuds, can sit together and talk about things as they do now.
"No matter what Morris said to you, I will explain it all to you again."
"Our church believes in flames as holy light and is committed to discovering the power of hidden things to extract the most important ways to achieve the purpose of exploring the truth. The meaning of truth cannot be stated clearly, but the outcome is to bring new truth to the world. The truth It contains things that will benefit the country’s development trajectory, such as medicine, theology, thinking, and energy.”
"I was entrusted by the church, and the purpose of coming here is to extract the warlock-specific blood from your body, Miss Chabai, for research, and to record and observe whether your magic is related to the secret method we have discovered."
As he spoke, Cohen took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke that dispersed in the air.
"I personally also want to extract your blood as a medium, but the purpose is to prevent the church's subsequent research."
"Stop?" Morris was surprised: "As far as I know, the research on the Eternal Flame is on the right track so far. What is the purpose of stopping it?"
"You know that the Church participated in the excavation of ruins in Kaer Morhen and Velen, right?" Cohen asked.
Morris nodded slightly.
Cohen continued: "We excavated an ancient tomb under a certain ruins. In the maze-like ancient tombs, there were huge swarms of rats, poisonous insects, never-before-seen monsters, and esoteric documents. Although we explored Sumerian The work at Er's tombs was extremely dangerous, but it also produced countless archaeological discoveries that shocked the church.
The most surprising thing is that a certain document records a method of improving human thinking level by obtaining the 'inner eye'. Through this method, one can reach 'god' level thinking, obtain exotic knowledge beyond human beings, and realize human evolution. . "
Having said this, Cohen smiled at Chabai and asked: "Miss Chabai, do you know what God is?"
Cha Bai lowered his head slightly and meditated. He seemed to have heard the word "god" from Li Nuo before.
Once in the login space, in order to effectively use the ability of [Focuser], Li Nuo "tirelessly" taught a language related to God.
Thinking of this, she looked serious and recalled that "painful" experience.
"A bag of rice can carry several floors."
"What?" Maurice was confused. What is this?
"You are quite humorous..." Cohen's mouth twitched a little, thinking that this beautiful woman's brain thinking is really full of unexpected contrasts.
Cohen went on to say: "God represents thinking, fear, and punishment. God is a mysterious master who is high above us, a secret that cannot be peeped, and an abyss that is inviolable."
Morris was a little confused: "This is somewhat different from the God we know. At least according to the teachings of Lord Triss, God should be based on the blessing and support in everyone's heart."
"Please listen to me continue." Cohen took a puff of cigarette and continued to elaborate: "Since the remains of the ancient tomb were excavated, our research has been stagnant for a long time until something was unearthed, the Great Holy Grail of Izzy. "
Morris suddenly interrupted him at this time: "Cohen, let me remind you that if you continue to talk about some things about your church, I am afraid it will cause some trouble."
The Holy See of Sorceresses, like the area of Kovir, is neutral in terms of religious beliefs.
They do not refuse teachers to believe in other religions, nor do they shy away from having contacts with other religions.
Because knowledge and ideas need to be advanced through ingestion, contact with other religions is conducive to one's own growth. This is the rule that the sect has followed since Triss founded it.
However, they also do not want to be involved in the troubles of other religions, and they do not want the start of the troubles to be related to themselves.
Morris had a hunch that what Cohen was about to say might involve something she shouldn't even know about.
"Please rest assured that what I am about to say next can be understood as my selfish request for help on behalf of Novigrad, on behalf of the Nilfgaard Empire, and even the entire world, to the Holy See and Miss Origin Warlock. .”
After Cohen finished speaking, he took off his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt in front of everyone.
His chest was covered with densely packed and squirming eyeballs.
"what is this……"
Morris felt so nauseous that he felt like vomiting. Densely packed eyeballs were arranged in Cohen's chest, and the eyeballs were still twisting, and the interface connected to the body was swelling from time to time.
In fact, a strange feeling appeared in her mind.
Her brain felt like it was being invaded by something unknown.
If a dangerous virus enters the brain, the head will feel a little heavy.
"Miss Chabai, do you feel anything? For example, uncomfortable feeling. I'm not just talking about vision, but also your brain or your thoughts."
"No."
Cha Bai said coldly that she had not felt any discomfort yet, even visually.
"Origin Warlock is indeed extraordinary. You are the first person who has not been affected by these damn eyes."
This statement made Cha Bai a little embarrassed. It was indeed a misunderstanding.
During these days in the space, Li Nuo's extra lessons for her were not in vain.
One of these points was emphatically mentioned by Li Nuo:
"The characters in some otaku works don't know what fear is... don't look at me like that, I didn't say you... um... so... you, a somewhat otaku character, have absolutely no idea about trypophobia. no feelings.
For example, if a monster with eyes all over its body appears, it is very disgusting to normal people, and the sensory stimulation will cause numbness in the brain, resulting in restricted movement and reduced combat effectiveness, but for You, I think with your temperament you will crush that monster with eyes all over your body immediately..."
His brown-white eyes scanned the expressions of everyone in the room, whether they were disgusted or uncomfortable, except for his own condition.
Maybe it was really because of her "settings" that caused this situation, she could only think this way.
But there is one thing that Chabai doesn't know. Regarding the setting of "Bloodborne", the more you know, the more dangerous it is. Among everyone present, she is the only one who knows nothing about the ancient god, so the eyeballs cannot bring it to her. Any mental attack was the key reason why Li Nuo did not tell her more information about "Bloodborne".
Cohen buttoned his shirt, put on his coat slowly, looked at everyone present, and shrugged lightly.
"What you just saw is the blessing brought by God."
Morris looked grim, "Your church has violated something that should not be violated."
Cohen nodded slightly and then asked: "Can you please listen to me explain these things now?"
"Please say."
Morris felt a mysterious and hesitant power from those eyes, somewhat similar to a curse, but not the same.
She can be sure that once a situation arises that cannot be suppressed by force, the danger will be immeasurable, so she must listen and try to kill everything before it becomes civilized, so as to prevent the danger from affecting Keville one day.
Cohen sat firmly against the back of his chair and began to elaborate:
"Izzy's Great Holy Grail, if this weird thing wasn't tightly sealed in the center of the huge labyrinth, it would have been mistaken for garbage and disposed of.
An object with a wax-like texture and a strange and irregular appearance was proven to be an active object in laboratory experiments.
If human blood is placed in it, a kind of tiny insect eggs will be released into the liquid. These eggs cannot hatch in the natural environment. They can only hatch into larvae when soaked in human blood. Then the Sumei unearthed The Ernst literature records the method of obtaining the "inner eye" by ingesting "blessed blood" through the "Holy Communion". "
Morris interrupted: "Holy Communion, Blessed Blood, Inner Eye, Sumerian, what are these?"
Cohen said: "The Eucharist is a ritual, and the blessed blood is the product of the ritual and the medium that inspires the inner eye. This is why we come to the source warlock. The blood is important to the ritual, and the inner eye... …It is a way to gain knowledge of the abyss or gods. As for the reasons for knowing these, please wait for me to talk about it later.”
Cohen picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and continued: "I injected this 'blessed blood' into my body and looked forward to the experimental results in the eyes of the students. A miracle happened a few days later. The insight becomes sharp, as if there are many eyes assisting observation at the same time, the brain becomes clear, and the mental state also improves rapidly, as if the "inner eye" has produced an effect, and the "blessed blood" begins to be called "ancient" Blood of God', 'Inner Eye' is also officially named 'Spiritual Sight'. "
Cohen paused, his expression changed slightly, and there was a look similar to regret in his eyes: "We started the next round of experiments. The volunteers cultivated observation skills by injecting blood blessed by the Great Holy Grail of Izzy, and established a new Experimental procedures: large-scale collection of blood - cultivation of blood through Holy Communion ceremony - blood transfusion experiment."
"At least there are no problems so far." Morris warmed his hands with a cup of tea. Everything Cohen had explained so far was beneficial.
Cohen smiled and shook his head: "The key is later. Researchers who inject the blood of the ancient gods will show their dependence on blood transfusions. From the first blood transfusion, they cannot forget the pleasure of injecting blood, and long-term infusion of the ancient gods' blood will show their dependence on blood transfusions." After the level of blood and spiritual vision increases, the brain will often fall into madness because the brain cannot bear too much information.
Tiny parasites began to appear in one volunteer's tear ducts, and then several wriggling eyeballs appeared on his forehead.
From this we draw the conclusion that the improvement of human spiritual vision is not unlimited. After exceeding a certain limit, the human brain will not be able to bear the huge amount of information and will cause a rage. Form is expressed in the human body.
For example, those eyeballs I just showed you, they will not only affect the host, but if someone sees the eyeballs, they will also be peeped by the hidden things inside. I think you should understand the hidden things I am referring to, right? "
One warlock said: "It feels like the path to worshiping the gods, but what do the gods think of us?"
Cohen smiled and said: "You are right. We stopped the experiment after that, but the law of inertia has been triggered, and irreversible rules began to spread within the church. The Great Holy Grail of Izzy was sealed, but a large number of addicted students, and Some believers who have not been brainwashed by the Holy Fire Doctrine are still secretly making blood by extracting it from students who have already had blood transfused."
Chabai's expression changed a bit when he heard this, and he frowned slightly, and his eyes briefly flashed with depression.
"It's the same as the drugs he (Li Nuo) said..."
Cohen heard this and said: "Yes, it is drugs, but things are getting worse. Because of the underground trade, many residents are also involved in the blood trade, and some have become blood providers, or Become a businessman who collects blood from everywhere, and more often become blood-addicted patients because of blood transfusions.”
Finally, Cohen said: "Some cities and even countries are heading towards destruction, and it is destruction that cannot be stopped."
No one in the room spoke, and the atmosphere became very silent.
After a moment, Morris shook his head slightly and said: "Cohen, if it is just for Cha Bai's blood, there is no need to say so much. Extracting blood is allowed by the upper levels. Talking too much will not be good for you. ,so……"
She leaned forward slightly and said, "What exactly is your 'help'?"
Cohen smiled hoarsely, "In order to stop the plague, I need Miss Chabai's blood, and then use the alchemy of your warlocks to fuse the blood of the source warlock and the blood of the ancient god."
He said and looked at his assistant: "Please give me the box."
Cohen took out a glass bottle containing blood from the box: "This is part of the 'Invisible Adam', which I brought from the church. I hope you can use alchemy to extract the elements of the source warlock's blood and see if you can find it. Find a way to suppress the blood of the ancient gods. After all, Miss Chabai was not affected by the eyes just now, I think this method may be effective."
Morris took the bottle and looked at it, "If the Ancient God is really as dangerous as you said, then this method is too dangerous for Kevir."
"Let me tell you something more dangerous," Cohen said.
More dangerous?
Everyone stared at him.
Cohen put out his cigarette butt and asked:
"Why do we know that Holy Grail is called the Great Grail of Izzy?"
“Why do we know about the Sumerians?”
"Why do we call those eyes the inner eye?"
"Why we understand that crazy knowledge represents spiritual vision."
“Why do we know what the Eucharist is?”
"Why can we read the documents in the tombs?"
"Why do we know about the Old Gods?"
Seven questions to ask everyone.
Until Chabai said after a few seconds: "Someone has controlled your 'knowledge' so that you can understand the original appearance of these things without ingesting a translation."
"Yes! What a great answer!" Cohen clapped his hands and smiled: "Who is it? Who in this world can control everyone's thinking and let everyone's thoughts be penetrated without knowing it? Ancient God? No... no, Those gods are like a bunch of worms, waiting for you to find them, interpret them, and then pull you into the abyss! They won’t tell you everything about themselves, so who else will?”
Morris's face darkened. She already knew the answer, so she said, "Mr. Cohen, Kevill will not touch the real bottom line."
Mirror Master.
This is the answer.
"Don't you understand yet?" Cohen spread his arms and said: "The devil is interested in the plague and the ancient gods. It will use the whole world as an experimental site. The first place is your old city! Who in this world can Stop the devil?”
"No, if the content of the book is correct, it can erase all traces of our existence in the world at any time." Morris replied.
She knew very well the story about the Mirror Master, a being that matched God, a creature that stood high on top.
"See, they always like to talk about me being so scary."
Cha Bai turned her head and saw Mirror Master sitting in the empty seat next to her.
Except for her, everyone else kept their previous actions, frozen there.
"You can control time. From this aspect, you are indeed terrible." Chabai said. "This is our second meeting. Please forgive my sudden appearance, Miss Chabai." Master Mirror bowed slightly, he was as polite and modest as an old gentleman.
"Your appearance should not be for no reason." Cha Bai said.
"I promised your demon hunter friend that if he becomes the winner in Novigrad, I will help him find the ancient blood, but I want to tell you the answer directly." Mirror Master stood up and picked up an empty Teacup Pour yourself a cup of tea.
He leaned on the corner of the table and said: "First of all, let us make one thing clear. Ancient blood is indeed preserved in the Holy See of Sorceresses, and people with ancient blood in their bodies are indeed called Source Warlocks. But I remind you, The power of ancient blood specifically refers to a certain bloodline, and those who possess ancient blood must be source warlocks, but source warlocks are not necessarily connected to ancient blood."
"Please tell me in detail." Cha Bai said.
Mirror Master said: "Origin Warlock represents the innate ability to use magic. Ancient Blood can be considered a branch of magic and is not a necessity."
"Why am I a Source Warlock?"
"I know what you are thinking. Some of you travelers from other worlds have also mastered magic. Why are you the only one who is a source warlock?"
Chabai hummed.
Mirror Master said: "Although they come from another world, they are not born with a source of magic power. But you are different. I can see that there is an energy flowing in your body that can be recycled since birth. Even I don't know what it is. What, so conceptually, you have the foundation to become a Source Warlock."
The energy source of artificial humans is considered by the warlocks here to be the source of magic power of warlocks.
Cha Bai put down his crossed legs, straightened his body and asked, "I was thinking that you might have other meanings when you say so much."
Master Mirror nodded: "Of course, you are not the heir of the bloodline. The consequence of injecting the ancient blood must be death. Unless you use a kind of blood that can be used on all things to neutralize the ancient blood, and find a spell to activate the bloodline, can you use it."
Cha Bai: "Well, you know the answer."
"Ha..." Master Mirror laughed: "The spell is hidden in the ruins of the sorceress assembly in the old city. After you find it, give me the ancient blood, and I will help you neutralize the blood."
Cha Bai frowned: "The price should be very high, right?"
Mirror Master did not deny it: "To use a sentence that Li Nuo thought about, the devil will grant you all your wishes, but he will never tell you the price."
Cha Bai: "I understand."
[Side mission has been triggered: Find the spell to activate blood]
[Task level: lv20]
[Task reward: 4500 experience points, 2 characteristic points]
[Mission details: You will go to the old city with the demon hunter]
Cha Bai looked at the panel that popped up, closed his eyes and let his mind empty, trying not to let the other party see what he was thinking.
The Mirror Master paid no attention to her.
He held up the tea cup and shook his head: "This tea tastes terrible, far worse than Novigrad's... That's it, I'm leaving first."
"Wait a minute." Cha Bai suddenly stopped Mirror Master and asked, "Is what Cohen said true?"
Mirror Master looked at her with seriousness on his face: "Yes."
"Will the world be destroyed if this continues?"
"perhaps."
"Will all human beings perish?"
"Ha~ Probably not, otherwise I would be bored."
[Challenge Mission: Seal the Mirror Master]
[Task level: lv? ? ? 】
[Mission details: This is a way to save the world, but the difficulty is so high that it has far exceeded the meaning of the difficulty level]
Cha Bai looked at the panel and didn't say anything. She chose to empty her mind and try not to think about this task to avoid being read by the Mirror Master.
But the Mirror Master became interested: "I lead these believers of the Eternal Fire to let them fulfill their dreams of broadening their horizons and let them be noticed by the world again, but the price is the situation they are facing now, spreading the curse, So what will happen next? They will continue to pursue new knowledge, endless research, like now to study your blood."
Cha Bai nodded: "What you are doing is actually fulfilling their desire to explore knowledge and regain control of power, but the price is also very serious. Just like a thirsty person, drinking a glass of water will satisfy him, but If you keep drinking, you will die.”
"You are right, Miss Warlock." Master Mirror walked up behind Cohen, pulled out Cohen's head like a building block, and then took out an eyeball from Cohen's body and said, "This is what they are studying. The curse brought by the eyeballs, Cohen will go crazy tomorrow because of the curse, but I can't cure his madness. I once allowed a country to establish a political power, instigated a child to massacre elves, and also helped a usurper to rebel. There are only things from another world. It’s beyond my knowledge.”
He stuffed the eyeball into Cohen's mouth, placed Cohen's head on Cohen's hand, and continued: "I wonder what would happen if someone with an intellectual curiosity intervened in this matter?"
"Mobilize the whole world to satisfy your desires." Cha Bai said.
Mirror Master showed admiration and praised: "You are very smart."
Chabai ignored the praise and said, "You actually also want to see what changes humans will make if this world is abandoned."
"That's right, I don't deny it."
Cha Bai: "Then do you want to take a look at my memories? My memories before I became a traveler in another world."
Mirror Master suddenly felt strange.
He stared into Chabai's eyes for a long time, his expression gradually becoming stiff.
He saw something almost equal to his own in this woman's eyes.
That's the imprint left by the virtual matrix.
Then, Master Mirror returned to his smile. He shook his head and said, "I can't see the past and future of you travelers from other worlds, but... if the three of you can use the ancient blood to go to other worlds and bring the power to balance the curse, I can stop the plague from spreading.”
The words fall.
Chabai was suddenly startled, and then heard a pop, and it was Cohen's head falling to the ground.
The room was silent.
Everyone seemed to have thought of what had just happened.
"Mirror Master has come...?" Morris said.
If the Mirror Master really appears, it means that everything Cohen said is extremely credible.
The man behind it all is Mirror Master.
So how can we stop the erosion of plague and the curse of blood therapy?
The Old Town, just outside of Kovir, is now riddled with curses.
Coville is in danger.
At this time, the sound of Chabai came to her ears.
"Dandilion, the best friend of the witcher Geralt of Rivia... This bard wrote a book called "Half a Century of Poetry."" Chabai recalled calmly. Li Nuo gave her the "Witcher" guide, and then said: "There is a very vague record in it - Ciri used the blood of the ancients to prevent the invasion of white frost and prevent the world from being destroyed."
Morris looked at her.
Cha Bai said: "The only people who can use the ancient blood are Yuan Warlocks. Let me try it. Maybe the ancient blood can transfer this curse?"
She has learned to lie from Li Nuo, because it is difficult for ancient blood to transfer the curse from the blood source.
But sometimes lies are necessary for the purpose.
Morris was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Okay...waiting for the review results, I will try my best to deliver the ancient blood to you within a week."
……
Li Nuo's diary:
1850 2 Month 15 Day.
Chabai told me everything.
what!
Mirror Master's old stick is playing word games again. If you give him something, he can neutralize the ancient blood.
Don't you just want to put some cursed stuff in it?
Let’s use our players as experiments.
He didn't know how a certain scientist was killed by the created Frankenstein!
Anyway, there is a way to do this, but I need to think about it again.
In addition, today I drew the random cards obtained from the "Novigrad Player Killing Game" and got a one-time use card of [Emperor's Shocking Fist].
This move forcefully deducts 20% of the blood, so it can be used.
Maggie has prepared some ingredients for me and I can start making the decoction.
She extracted my magic power by the way and said she was going to make a mutation potion.
Hmm...Can Mirror Master also see the above content?
Let me try.
Mirror Master, I am your mother.
I found a lot of bats nearby and this article has been burned.
……
1850 2 Month 16 Day.
Yesterday I dreamed of a hundred Margers standing on their heads in the toilet...
It appears to be the Mirror Master's revenge.
Today Maggie gave me all the best poker player positions in Keville.
I'm going to play cards, finish [Gwent Winner], and get a lot of materials.
……
1850 2 Month 17 Day.
Cha Bai said he needed to learn some magic.
Marger is working as an apprentice.
play cards.
……
1850 2 Month 18 Day.
Play cards and lose.
I borrowed a kitchen knife.
Play cards and win.
……
1850 2 Month 19 Day.
play cards.
……
1850 2 Month 20 Day.
Li Nuo, Li Nuo!How could you be so depraved!Have you forgotten the alchemy study plan you made earlier?
The Master said: "I examine myself three times a day.
It can't go on like this!
……
1850 2 Month 21 Day.
play cards.
……
1850 2 Month 22 Day.
It seemed like I was just one final opponent away from ending [Gwent Winner] completely.
In the past few days, I have earned a total of 10 radiant keystones and 8 bone marrow ashes.
It's hard to make money.
……
Li Nuo closed the diary.
Looking at the bat leaving the window.
Then he walked to the window and looked at the bustling crowd outside.
I was thinking: "It seems that the diary has deceived these bats."
Ten minutes later, he packed his clothes, put on his mask, took the alchemy materials, and prepared to leave the hotel to find Maggie. Today was the day when the Queen of the Night taught him alchemy.
Before he opened the door, he left some simple traps in the house as usual.
In front of the hotel door, Li Nuo looked at a guy standing at the door and suddenly froze in place.
The witcher's intuition told him.
The other party is a vampire.
Four eyes facing each other.
Li Nuo simply found a table and sat on the wooden chair next to it.
The other party also came over and sat across from him.
The man wore a worn-out cowboy hat.
Wearing an old dusty coat.
He has long black hair and eyes as red as blood.
The other party first asked: "Are you the player who brought Mirror Master?"
Li Nuo also asked: "Then you are Mr. Belmont?"
Belmont: "Nice to meet you."
Li Nuo: "I've heard about his name for a long time."
The atmosphere is particularly harmonious.
Generally speaking, harmony heralds the calm before the storm, a precursor to a battle that is soon to come.
But neither of them wanted to take action. The reason was very simple. If they took action here, there was a high probability that the long guns and short cannons of the Keville soldiers would be waiting for them.
Belmont licked his lips and nodded. He said, "I didn't expect that there are players who can become demon hunters. I can smell a poison similar to a virus from your body."
Li Nuo said jokingly: "Hahaha~ Unexpectedly, in fact, I still have the black light virus, T virus, ancestor virus, G virus, saint virus, TG virus, syphilis, ogre virus, extremis virus..."
"Where are you raising Gu?" Belmont interrupted: "I don't want to waste time with you anymore... Do you want to join my team?"
"Where are you raising Gu?" Li Nuo asked.
Belmont was a little confused: "If I understand correctly, are you comparing yourself to a poison?"
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, I refuse."
Belmont smiled and said: "My team will give you a lot of preferential treatment, including women, money, experience points, and vampire power."
"It sounds very tempting." Li Nuo asked, "I guess you have special requests?"
"If you insist...if you join me, you can keep your two companions safe."
"Well, that's it." Li Nuo touched his chin, lowered his head and said pretending to think: "I guess, what you want is to let me join you first, and then we will be a team, no matter what the process is. , even if it turns out that I asked Master Mirror to kill the Shadow Elder, then you can still benefit from me completing the main mission, and if you turn your back on me after the script is over, you won’t be able to help me then.”
"Tch... boring, you can see that." Belmont showed his fangs and said with a smile: "No matter what method is used, as long as we can obtain the maximum benefit, the most important task for us players is."
Li Nuo commented: "It's similar to the principle of group fighting, or the principle of not flushing the stool when using the toilet."
Belmont said seriously: "Although I can roughly understand it... but please use some clean metaphors. In short, it is true that I want to recruit you, and it is true that I want to use you. There is no contradiction."
Li Nuo said: "But I consider myself a person who adheres to principles. If something touches my bottom line, I will choose another way to win."
Belmont observed him carefully and said, "Oh... I didn't see that you still have principles."
Li Nuo: "Yes, of course, but I have lowered my moral standards, so it is difficult to touch on issues of principle."
Belmont smiled helplessly: "Can I ask what the principle is?"
"For example, you bastard just seemed to threaten me with the safety of my teammates." Li Nuo said with a smile: "So if you let me join your team, you might as well let me go to Alaska to be a sled dog."
Note 1: You can’t rely on me for the long word count. This chapter just feels more appropriate together.
Note 2: Regarding Mirror Master, this guy is actually the driving force behind many events in the original work, and I want to say that the devil does not tell the truth, so you don’t have to completely believe what he says in this chapter.
Note 3: Although this chapter has 1 words, there will be an update today, but I have to get some sleep first. I estimate that I will update it all before twelve o'clock tonight.
Note 4: Please vote for me! ! !Please vote for recommendation! ! !
(End of this chapter)
In the mountains far away from the border of Kevir territory, there is no grass growing here, the trees are withered, and except for the layers of rocks piled up, there is only desolation.
This is a famous mining holy land, the boundary of the Feilong Mountains, and the border of the old city.
Countless bats appeared from afar, and the darkness blocked out the sunlight. They flew towards a cave at the foot of the mountain, and circled at the entrance of the cave without stopping for a long time.
The torch on the rock wall illuminates the cave. At the end, there is a "person" lying on his side on the ground.
Its appearance is very strange, its face is bloodless, its skin is so thin that it is almost transparent, and you can even clearly see the cyan blood vessels under the skin. It has no hair or body hair, and its body is skinny but strong. It seems to be sleeping with its eyes closed.
Suddenly it opened its eyes, slowly opened its mouth, and made a hoarse sound.
"You haven't found it yet...the spell of ancient blood!"
Belmont knelt before the cave entrance.
"Sir, sir, it's coming soon, we'll find it soon."
In an instant, Belmont was sucked into the hole by a force. The elder grabbed his throat and stared at him with crowded eyeballs popping out of his forehead.
"I'll give you another month."
"Understood, my lord."
The bats entrenched at the entrance of the cave scattered and flew away into the distance.
It is the Shadow Elder, the most terrifying vampire.
……
There is a chill in the air in Kevir, and there are only a few people on the streets.
Bats flew across the sky from time to time. Some of them landed on the roof of a house, some got in through the windows of the house, and some gathered in the trees.
Several bats passed through the narrow alley and flew to a luxuriously decorated building when no one saw them.
A carriage rolled over the gravel road and drove slowly towards here.
The car stopped in front of the building, the driver came down and opened the door, and Cohen, one of the agents of the Church of Eternal Fire, stepped out of the carriage.
Cohen was wearing a black coat and suit. He put on a felt hat and looked at the building in front of him.
This building is the Holy See of the Sorceress. The decoration inside the building is very gorgeous. Keville, who pays attention to simple design, seems to have not applied the simple concept to this building. The walls on both sides of the hall are carved with fine murals, and the golden sunshine The bright light shines in through the transparent windows, and the marble floor tiles reflect the dazzling light. Everything tells visitors that the nobility and quality of this place are extraordinary.
"The chairs here are really uncomfortable..." Cohen sat on the chair in the living room, his body squeezing the chair so full that there was no room left.
The assistant on the side looked at him and said, "Mr. Cohen, it's time for you to lose weight."
"Uh……"
"Are you sure you don't want to take a rest?" A sorceress put the tea in front of Cohen's table and said, "Although we have asked the waiter to notify the church, it will still take some time to arrive."
Cohen raised his eyebrows: "I want to see the Origin Warlock soon. After all, the Origin Warlock has never appeared again after Xili. We have recently been studying a secret ability. With it, even ordinary people may be able to Using spells, and more importantly, maybe this kind of thing can bring new conveniences to society, such as energy, but researching this kind of thing will still encounter some problems. Maybe the mysterious power of the source warlock can help us find other breakthroughs. "
"Mr. Cohen, you obviously don't want to stay in Coville because of the price problem." The assistant's untimely sharp language made Cohen a little embarrassed.
"I shouldn't have promoted you in the first place..."
The sorceress smiled, looked at the hour hand on the clock in the room and said, "I think they may have to wait a while before they arrive. Would you like to have some lunch? The food here is pretty good, and... it's free."
After hearing this, Cohen stood up slowly while holding on to the armrest of the chair, and said with a smile: "Then what are you waiting for? We can chat about recent experiences while eating, and I think my assistant must be hungry too."
Assistant: "Don't use me as a cover for free meals..."
At this time, there were three knocks on the door.
A waiter dressed as a nun walked into the room, bowed his head humbly and said: "Gentlemen, you have been waiting for..."
"No need to announce, long time no see, Mr. Cohen."
Following the sudden sound outside the door, a woman wearing a white robe walked in.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Behind her were several soldiers and a woman also wearing a white robe, but with a hood.
"You go out," the woman said to all the waiters and soldiers.
When the door was closed, Cohen stood there and smiled: "Morris, how come you guys arrived so soon?"
There is a gathering place in the Sorcerer Church, which symbolizes the supreme leadership of the Sorceress. It is also known as the Sisterhood of Sorceresses.
Morris was a member of one of the sororities.
Well... despite the fact that the name is the same as a compulsory dating organization, the six warlocks in the assembly hall symbolize the highest magical power in the world.
Speaking of the Sorceress Holy See, let me mention here that in the ending of the original work, Geralt’s old sweetheart Triss has a branch ending. Triss and Geralt make a decision at the Novigrad docks where the strong winds are blowing. A final farewell and then off to Coville.
And then there is the story after that - on this land, a new sorcerer gathering was re-established with her as the center, and finally developed into the current sorceress Holy See.
"Because we're just a block away from here," Morris said.
"Then who is this?" Cohen looked at the hooded woman behind her.
"Come and introduce yourself, Miss Yuan Warlock."
Cha Bai nodded slightly, took off his hood, revealing his delicate face, and stared at everyone present with his gray-blue eyes.
"Chabai, this is my name."
……
Facing Cha Bai who was sitting across from him with his legs crossed, Cohen's throat rolled.
Although this girl is wearing a big robe, and although her breathtaking figure is vaguely outlined on the surface of the robe, her aura of not allowing strangers to enter is very awkward. In short, she does not dare to show interest...
"Okay, Miss Chabai, let me introduce myself." Cohen lowered his head slightly: "Ma Grant Cohen, one of the current agents of the Eternal Fire, is also a humble scholar."
Chabai nodded.
Cohen waited for Cha Bai to continue speaking, but after more than ten seconds, he realized that there seemed to be nothing more to say.
Morris coughed dryly: "Cohen, just finish what you want to say. Cha Bai is a little... talkative."
"I see..." Cohen nodded. Judging from his behavior, he didn't look like the leader of the church at all. To put it simply, he was like some leaders with obvious personalities in reality. He didn't show official authority and treated others equally. He belonged to that group. A boss who usually has no authority at all.
But such leaders are usually highly polarized, either incompetent or extremely capable, and Cohen, as one of the Eternal Fire agents, falls into the latter category.
Being able to switch speaking states at will in an instant is a skill of this type of person. Cohen just blinked and completed the switch to a solemn expression.
It is because of leaders like Cohen that organizations such as the Eternal Flame and the Order of Sorceresses, which have had feuds, can sit together and talk about things as they do now.
"No matter what Morris said to you, I will explain it all to you again."
"Our church believes in flames as holy light and is committed to discovering the power of hidden things to extract the most important ways to achieve the purpose of exploring the truth. The meaning of truth cannot be stated clearly, but the outcome is to bring new truth to the world. The truth It contains things that will benefit the country’s development trajectory, such as medicine, theology, thinking, and energy.”
"I was entrusted by the church, and the purpose of coming here is to extract the warlock-specific blood from your body, Miss Chabai, for research, and to record and observe whether your magic is related to the secret method we have discovered."
As he spoke, Cohen took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke that dispersed in the air.
"I personally also want to extract your blood as a medium, but the purpose is to prevent the church's subsequent research."
"Stop?" Morris was surprised: "As far as I know, the research on the Eternal Flame is on the right track so far. What is the purpose of stopping it?"
"You know that the Church participated in the excavation of ruins in Kaer Morhen and Velen, right?" Cohen asked.
Morris nodded slightly.
Cohen continued: "We excavated an ancient tomb under a certain ruins. In the maze-like ancient tombs, there were huge swarms of rats, poisonous insects, never-before-seen monsters, and esoteric documents. Although we explored Sumerian The work at Er's tombs was extremely dangerous, but it also produced countless archaeological discoveries that shocked the church.
The most surprising thing is that a certain document records a method of improving human thinking level by obtaining the 'inner eye'. Through this method, one can reach 'god' level thinking, obtain exotic knowledge beyond human beings, and realize human evolution. . "
Having said this, Cohen smiled at Chabai and asked: "Miss Chabai, do you know what God is?"
Cha Bai lowered his head slightly and meditated. He seemed to have heard the word "god" from Li Nuo before.
Once in the login space, in order to effectively use the ability of [Focuser], Li Nuo "tirelessly" taught a language related to God.
Thinking of this, she looked serious and recalled that "painful" experience.
"A bag of rice can carry several floors."
"What?" Maurice was confused. What is this?
"You are quite humorous..." Cohen's mouth twitched a little, thinking that this beautiful woman's brain thinking is really full of unexpected contrasts.
Cohen went on to say: "God represents thinking, fear, and punishment. God is a mysterious master who is high above us, a secret that cannot be peeped, and an abyss that is inviolable."
Morris was a little confused: "This is somewhat different from the God we know. At least according to the teachings of Lord Triss, God should be based on the blessing and support in everyone's heart."
"Please listen to me continue." Cohen took a puff of cigarette and continued to elaborate: "Since the remains of the ancient tomb were excavated, our research has been stagnant for a long time until something was unearthed, the Great Holy Grail of Izzy. "
Morris suddenly interrupted him at this time: "Cohen, let me remind you that if you continue to talk about some things about your church, I am afraid it will cause some trouble."
The Holy See of Sorceresses, like the area of Kovir, is neutral in terms of religious beliefs.
They do not refuse teachers to believe in other religions, nor do they shy away from having contacts with other religions.
Because knowledge and ideas need to be advanced through ingestion, contact with other religions is conducive to one's own growth. This is the rule that the sect has followed since Triss founded it.
However, they also do not want to be involved in the troubles of other religions, and they do not want the start of the troubles to be related to themselves.
Morris had a hunch that what Cohen was about to say might involve something she shouldn't even know about.
"Please rest assured that what I am about to say next can be understood as my selfish request for help on behalf of Novigrad, on behalf of the Nilfgaard Empire, and even the entire world, to the Holy See and Miss Origin Warlock. .”
After Cohen finished speaking, he took off his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt in front of everyone.
His chest was covered with densely packed and squirming eyeballs.
"what is this……"
Morris felt so nauseous that he felt like vomiting. Densely packed eyeballs were arranged in Cohen's chest, and the eyeballs were still twisting, and the interface connected to the body was swelling from time to time.
In fact, a strange feeling appeared in her mind.
Her brain felt like it was being invaded by something unknown.
If a dangerous virus enters the brain, the head will feel a little heavy.
"Miss Chabai, do you feel anything? For example, uncomfortable feeling. I'm not just talking about vision, but also your brain or your thoughts."
"No."
Cha Bai said coldly that she had not felt any discomfort yet, even visually.
"Origin Warlock is indeed extraordinary. You are the first person who has not been affected by these damn eyes."
This statement made Cha Bai a little embarrassed. It was indeed a misunderstanding.
During these days in the space, Li Nuo's extra lessons for her were not in vain.
One of these points was emphatically mentioned by Li Nuo:
"The characters in some otaku works don't know what fear is... don't look at me like that, I didn't say you... um... so... you, a somewhat otaku character, have absolutely no idea about trypophobia. no feelings.
For example, if a monster with eyes all over its body appears, it is very disgusting to normal people, and the sensory stimulation will cause numbness in the brain, resulting in restricted movement and reduced combat effectiveness, but for You, I think with your temperament you will crush that monster with eyes all over your body immediately..."
His brown-white eyes scanned the expressions of everyone in the room, whether they were disgusted or uncomfortable, except for his own condition.
Maybe it was really because of her "settings" that caused this situation, she could only think this way.
But there is one thing that Chabai doesn't know. Regarding the setting of "Bloodborne", the more you know, the more dangerous it is. Among everyone present, she is the only one who knows nothing about the ancient god, so the eyeballs cannot bring it to her. Any mental attack was the key reason why Li Nuo did not tell her more information about "Bloodborne".
Cohen buttoned his shirt, put on his coat slowly, looked at everyone present, and shrugged lightly.
"What you just saw is the blessing brought by God."
Morris looked grim, "Your church has violated something that should not be violated."
Cohen nodded slightly and then asked: "Can you please listen to me explain these things now?"
"Please say."
Morris felt a mysterious and hesitant power from those eyes, somewhat similar to a curse, but not the same.
She can be sure that once a situation arises that cannot be suppressed by force, the danger will be immeasurable, so she must listen and try to kill everything before it becomes civilized, so as to prevent the danger from affecting Keville one day.
Cohen sat firmly against the back of his chair and began to elaborate:
"Izzy's Great Holy Grail, if this weird thing wasn't tightly sealed in the center of the huge labyrinth, it would have been mistaken for garbage and disposed of.
An object with a wax-like texture and a strange and irregular appearance was proven to be an active object in laboratory experiments.
If human blood is placed in it, a kind of tiny insect eggs will be released into the liquid. These eggs cannot hatch in the natural environment. They can only hatch into larvae when soaked in human blood. Then the Sumei unearthed The Ernst literature records the method of obtaining the "inner eye" by ingesting "blessed blood" through the "Holy Communion". "
Morris interrupted: "Holy Communion, Blessed Blood, Inner Eye, Sumerian, what are these?"
Cohen said: "The Eucharist is a ritual, and the blessed blood is the product of the ritual and the medium that inspires the inner eye. This is why we come to the source warlock. The blood is important to the ritual, and the inner eye... …It is a way to gain knowledge of the abyss or gods. As for the reasons for knowing these, please wait for me to talk about it later.”
Cohen picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip, and continued: "I injected this 'blessed blood' into my body and looked forward to the experimental results in the eyes of the students. A miracle happened a few days later. The insight becomes sharp, as if there are many eyes assisting observation at the same time, the brain becomes clear, and the mental state also improves rapidly, as if the "inner eye" has produced an effect, and the "blessed blood" begins to be called "ancient" Blood of God', 'Inner Eye' is also officially named 'Spiritual Sight'. "
Cohen paused, his expression changed slightly, and there was a look similar to regret in his eyes: "We started the next round of experiments. The volunteers cultivated observation skills by injecting blood blessed by the Great Holy Grail of Izzy, and established a new Experimental procedures: large-scale collection of blood - cultivation of blood through Holy Communion ceremony - blood transfusion experiment."
"At least there are no problems so far." Morris warmed his hands with a cup of tea. Everything Cohen had explained so far was beneficial.
Cohen smiled and shook his head: "The key is later. Researchers who inject the blood of the ancient gods will show their dependence on blood transfusions. From the first blood transfusion, they cannot forget the pleasure of injecting blood, and long-term infusion of the ancient gods' blood will show their dependence on blood transfusions." After the level of blood and spiritual vision increases, the brain will often fall into madness because the brain cannot bear too much information.
Tiny parasites began to appear in one volunteer's tear ducts, and then several wriggling eyeballs appeared on his forehead.
From this we draw the conclusion that the improvement of human spiritual vision is not unlimited. After exceeding a certain limit, the human brain will not be able to bear the huge amount of information and will cause a rage. Form is expressed in the human body.
For example, those eyeballs I just showed you, they will not only affect the host, but if someone sees the eyeballs, they will also be peeped by the hidden things inside. I think you should understand the hidden things I am referring to, right? "
One warlock said: "It feels like the path to worshiping the gods, but what do the gods think of us?"
Cohen smiled and said: "You are right. We stopped the experiment after that, but the law of inertia has been triggered, and irreversible rules began to spread within the church. The Great Holy Grail of Izzy was sealed, but a large number of addicted students, and Some believers who have not been brainwashed by the Holy Fire Doctrine are still secretly making blood by extracting it from students who have already had blood transfused."
Chabai's expression changed a bit when he heard this, and he frowned slightly, and his eyes briefly flashed with depression.
"It's the same as the drugs he (Li Nuo) said..."
Cohen heard this and said: "Yes, it is drugs, but things are getting worse. Because of the underground trade, many residents are also involved in the blood trade, and some have become blood providers, or Become a businessman who collects blood from everywhere, and more often become blood-addicted patients because of blood transfusions.”
Finally, Cohen said: "Some cities and even countries are heading towards destruction, and it is destruction that cannot be stopped."
No one in the room spoke, and the atmosphere became very silent.
After a moment, Morris shook his head slightly and said: "Cohen, if it is just for Cha Bai's blood, there is no need to say so much. Extracting blood is allowed by the upper levels. Talking too much will not be good for you. ,so……"
She leaned forward slightly and said, "What exactly is your 'help'?"
Cohen smiled hoarsely, "In order to stop the plague, I need Miss Chabai's blood, and then use the alchemy of your warlocks to fuse the blood of the source warlock and the blood of the ancient god."
He said and looked at his assistant: "Please give me the box."
Cohen took out a glass bottle containing blood from the box: "This is part of the 'Invisible Adam', which I brought from the church. I hope you can use alchemy to extract the elements of the source warlock's blood and see if you can find it. Find a way to suppress the blood of the ancient gods. After all, Miss Chabai was not affected by the eyes just now, I think this method may be effective."
Morris took the bottle and looked at it, "If the Ancient God is really as dangerous as you said, then this method is too dangerous for Kevir."
"Let me tell you something more dangerous," Cohen said.
More dangerous?
Everyone stared at him.
Cohen put out his cigarette butt and asked:
"Why do we know that Holy Grail is called the Great Grail of Izzy?"
“Why do we know about the Sumerians?”
"Why do we call those eyes the inner eye?"
"Why we understand that crazy knowledge represents spiritual vision."
“Why do we know what the Eucharist is?”
"Why can we read the documents in the tombs?"
"Why do we know about the Old Gods?"
Seven questions to ask everyone.
Until Chabai said after a few seconds: "Someone has controlled your 'knowledge' so that you can understand the original appearance of these things without ingesting a translation."
"Yes! What a great answer!" Cohen clapped his hands and smiled: "Who is it? Who in this world can control everyone's thinking and let everyone's thoughts be penetrated without knowing it? Ancient God? No... no, Those gods are like a bunch of worms, waiting for you to find them, interpret them, and then pull you into the abyss! They won’t tell you everything about themselves, so who else will?”
Morris's face darkened. She already knew the answer, so she said, "Mr. Cohen, Kevill will not touch the real bottom line."
Mirror Master.
This is the answer.
"Don't you understand yet?" Cohen spread his arms and said: "The devil is interested in the plague and the ancient gods. It will use the whole world as an experimental site. The first place is your old city! Who in this world can Stop the devil?”
"No, if the content of the book is correct, it can erase all traces of our existence in the world at any time." Morris replied.
She knew very well the story about the Mirror Master, a being that matched God, a creature that stood high on top.
"See, they always like to talk about me being so scary."
Cha Bai turned her head and saw Mirror Master sitting in the empty seat next to her.
Except for her, everyone else kept their previous actions, frozen there.
"You can control time. From this aspect, you are indeed terrible." Chabai said. "This is our second meeting. Please forgive my sudden appearance, Miss Chabai." Master Mirror bowed slightly, he was as polite and modest as an old gentleman.
"Your appearance should not be for no reason." Cha Bai said.
"I promised your demon hunter friend that if he becomes the winner in Novigrad, I will help him find the ancient blood, but I want to tell you the answer directly." Mirror Master stood up and picked up an empty Teacup Pour yourself a cup of tea.
He leaned on the corner of the table and said: "First of all, let us make one thing clear. Ancient blood is indeed preserved in the Holy See of Sorceresses, and people with ancient blood in their bodies are indeed called Source Warlocks. But I remind you, The power of ancient blood specifically refers to a certain bloodline, and those who possess ancient blood must be source warlocks, but source warlocks are not necessarily connected to ancient blood."
"Please tell me in detail." Cha Bai said.
Mirror Master said: "Origin Warlock represents the innate ability to use magic. Ancient Blood can be considered a branch of magic and is not a necessity."
"Why am I a Source Warlock?"
"I know what you are thinking. Some of you travelers from other worlds have also mastered magic. Why are you the only one who is a source warlock?"
Chabai hummed.
Mirror Master said: "Although they come from another world, they are not born with a source of magic power. But you are different. I can see that there is an energy flowing in your body that can be recycled since birth. Even I don't know what it is. What, so conceptually, you have the foundation to become a Source Warlock."
The energy source of artificial humans is considered by the warlocks here to be the source of magic power of warlocks.
Cha Bai put down his crossed legs, straightened his body and asked, "I was thinking that you might have other meanings when you say so much."
Master Mirror nodded: "Of course, you are not the heir of the bloodline. The consequence of injecting the ancient blood must be death. Unless you use a kind of blood that can be used on all things to neutralize the ancient blood, and find a spell to activate the bloodline, can you use it."
Cha Bai: "Well, you know the answer."
"Ha..." Master Mirror laughed: "The spell is hidden in the ruins of the sorceress assembly in the old city. After you find it, give me the ancient blood, and I will help you neutralize the blood."
Cha Bai frowned: "The price should be very high, right?"
Mirror Master did not deny it: "To use a sentence that Li Nuo thought about, the devil will grant you all your wishes, but he will never tell you the price."
Cha Bai: "I understand."
[Side mission has been triggered: Find the spell to activate blood]
[Task level: lv20]
[Task reward: 4500 experience points, 2 characteristic points]
[Mission details: You will go to the old city with the demon hunter]
Cha Bai looked at the panel that popped up, closed his eyes and let his mind empty, trying not to let the other party see what he was thinking.
The Mirror Master paid no attention to her.
He held up the tea cup and shook his head: "This tea tastes terrible, far worse than Novigrad's... That's it, I'm leaving first."
"Wait a minute." Cha Bai suddenly stopped Mirror Master and asked, "Is what Cohen said true?"
Mirror Master looked at her with seriousness on his face: "Yes."
"Will the world be destroyed if this continues?"
"perhaps."
"Will all human beings perish?"
"Ha~ Probably not, otherwise I would be bored."
[Challenge Mission: Seal the Mirror Master]
[Task level: lv? ? ? 】
[Mission details: This is a way to save the world, but the difficulty is so high that it has far exceeded the meaning of the difficulty level]
Cha Bai looked at the panel and didn't say anything. She chose to empty her mind and try not to think about this task to avoid being read by the Mirror Master.
But the Mirror Master became interested: "I lead these believers of the Eternal Fire to let them fulfill their dreams of broadening their horizons and let them be noticed by the world again, but the price is the situation they are facing now, spreading the curse, So what will happen next? They will continue to pursue new knowledge, endless research, like now to study your blood."
Cha Bai nodded: "What you are doing is actually fulfilling their desire to explore knowledge and regain control of power, but the price is also very serious. Just like a thirsty person, drinking a glass of water will satisfy him, but If you keep drinking, you will die.”
"You are right, Miss Warlock." Master Mirror walked up behind Cohen, pulled out Cohen's head like a building block, and then took out an eyeball from Cohen's body and said, "This is what they are studying. The curse brought by the eyeballs, Cohen will go crazy tomorrow because of the curse, but I can't cure his madness. I once allowed a country to establish a political power, instigated a child to massacre elves, and also helped a usurper to rebel. There are only things from another world. It’s beyond my knowledge.”
He stuffed the eyeball into Cohen's mouth, placed Cohen's head on Cohen's hand, and continued: "I wonder what would happen if someone with an intellectual curiosity intervened in this matter?"
"Mobilize the whole world to satisfy your desires." Cha Bai said.
Mirror Master showed admiration and praised: "You are very smart."
Chabai ignored the praise and said, "You actually also want to see what changes humans will make if this world is abandoned."
"That's right, I don't deny it."
Cha Bai: "Then do you want to take a look at my memories? My memories before I became a traveler in another world."
Mirror Master suddenly felt strange.
He stared into Chabai's eyes for a long time, his expression gradually becoming stiff.
He saw something almost equal to his own in this woman's eyes.
That's the imprint left by the virtual matrix.
Then, Master Mirror returned to his smile. He shook his head and said, "I can't see the past and future of you travelers from other worlds, but... if the three of you can use the ancient blood to go to other worlds and bring the power to balance the curse, I can stop the plague from spreading.”
The words fall.
Chabai was suddenly startled, and then heard a pop, and it was Cohen's head falling to the ground.
The room was silent.
Everyone seemed to have thought of what had just happened.
"Mirror Master has come...?" Morris said.
If the Mirror Master really appears, it means that everything Cohen said is extremely credible.
The man behind it all is Mirror Master.
So how can we stop the erosion of plague and the curse of blood therapy?
The Old Town, just outside of Kovir, is now riddled with curses.
Coville is in danger.
At this time, the sound of Chabai came to her ears.
"Dandilion, the best friend of the witcher Geralt of Rivia... This bard wrote a book called "Half a Century of Poetry."" Chabai recalled calmly. Li Nuo gave her the "Witcher" guide, and then said: "There is a very vague record in it - Ciri used the blood of the ancients to prevent the invasion of white frost and prevent the world from being destroyed."
Morris looked at her.
Cha Bai said: "The only people who can use the ancient blood are Yuan Warlocks. Let me try it. Maybe the ancient blood can transfer this curse?"
She has learned to lie from Li Nuo, because it is difficult for ancient blood to transfer the curse from the blood source.
But sometimes lies are necessary for the purpose.
Morris was silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly: "Okay...waiting for the review results, I will try my best to deliver the ancient blood to you within a week."
……
Li Nuo's diary:
1850 2 Month 15 Day.
Chabai told me everything.
what!
Mirror Master's old stick is playing word games again. If you give him something, he can neutralize the ancient blood.
Don't you just want to put some cursed stuff in it?
Let’s use our players as experiments.
He didn't know how a certain scientist was killed by the created Frankenstein!
Anyway, there is a way to do this, but I need to think about it again.
In addition, today I drew the random cards obtained from the "Novigrad Player Killing Game" and got a one-time use card of [Emperor's Shocking Fist].
This move forcefully deducts 20% of the blood, so it can be used.
Maggie has prepared some ingredients for me and I can start making the decoction.
She extracted my magic power by the way and said she was going to make a mutation potion.
Hmm...Can Mirror Master also see the above content?
Let me try.
Mirror Master, I am your mother.
I found a lot of bats nearby and this article has been burned.
……
1850 2 Month 16 Day.
Yesterday I dreamed of a hundred Margers standing on their heads in the toilet...
It appears to be the Mirror Master's revenge.
Today Maggie gave me all the best poker player positions in Keville.
I'm going to play cards, finish [Gwent Winner], and get a lot of materials.
……
1850 2 Month 17 Day.
Cha Bai said he needed to learn some magic.
Marger is working as an apprentice.
play cards.
……
1850 2 Month 18 Day.
Play cards and lose.
I borrowed a kitchen knife.
Play cards and win.
……
1850 2 Month 19 Day.
play cards.
……
1850 2 Month 20 Day.
Li Nuo, Li Nuo!How could you be so depraved!Have you forgotten the alchemy study plan you made earlier?
The Master said: "I examine myself three times a day.
It can't go on like this!
……
1850 2 Month 21 Day.
play cards.
……
1850 2 Month 22 Day.
It seemed like I was just one final opponent away from ending [Gwent Winner] completely.
In the past few days, I have earned a total of 10 radiant keystones and 8 bone marrow ashes.
It's hard to make money.
……
Li Nuo closed the diary.
Looking at the bat leaving the window.
Then he walked to the window and looked at the bustling crowd outside.
I was thinking: "It seems that the diary has deceived these bats."
Ten minutes later, he packed his clothes, put on his mask, took the alchemy materials, and prepared to leave the hotel to find Maggie. Today was the day when the Queen of the Night taught him alchemy.
Before he opened the door, he left some simple traps in the house as usual.
In front of the hotel door, Li Nuo looked at a guy standing at the door and suddenly froze in place.
The witcher's intuition told him.
The other party is a vampire.
Four eyes facing each other.
Li Nuo simply found a table and sat on the wooden chair next to it.
The other party also came over and sat across from him.
The man wore a worn-out cowboy hat.
Wearing an old dusty coat.
He has long black hair and eyes as red as blood.
The other party first asked: "Are you the player who brought Mirror Master?"
Li Nuo also asked: "Then you are Mr. Belmont?"
Belmont: "Nice to meet you."
Li Nuo: "I've heard about his name for a long time."
The atmosphere is particularly harmonious.
Generally speaking, harmony heralds the calm before the storm, a precursor to a battle that is soon to come.
But neither of them wanted to take action. The reason was very simple. If they took action here, there was a high probability that the long guns and short cannons of the Keville soldiers would be waiting for them.
Belmont licked his lips and nodded. He said, "I didn't expect that there are players who can become demon hunters. I can smell a poison similar to a virus from your body."
Li Nuo said jokingly: "Hahaha~ Unexpectedly, in fact, I still have the black light virus, T virus, ancestor virus, G virus, saint virus, TG virus, syphilis, ogre virus, extremis virus..."
"Where are you raising Gu?" Belmont interrupted: "I don't want to waste time with you anymore... Do you want to join my team?"
"Where are you raising Gu?" Li Nuo asked.
Belmont was a little confused: "If I understand correctly, are you comparing yourself to a poison?"
Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, I refuse."
Belmont smiled and said: "My team will give you a lot of preferential treatment, including women, money, experience points, and vampire power."
"It sounds very tempting." Li Nuo asked, "I guess you have special requests?"
"If you insist...if you join me, you can keep your two companions safe."
"Well, that's it." Li Nuo touched his chin, lowered his head and said pretending to think: "I guess, what you want is to let me join you first, and then we will be a team, no matter what the process is. , even if it turns out that I asked Master Mirror to kill the Shadow Elder, then you can still benefit from me completing the main mission, and if you turn your back on me after the script is over, you won’t be able to help me then.”
"Tch... boring, you can see that." Belmont showed his fangs and said with a smile: "No matter what method is used, as long as we can obtain the maximum benefit, the most important task for us players is."
Li Nuo commented: "It's similar to the principle of group fighting, or the principle of not flushing the stool when using the toilet."
Belmont said seriously: "Although I can roughly understand it... but please use some clean metaphors. In short, it is true that I want to recruit you, and it is true that I want to use you. There is no contradiction."
Li Nuo said: "But I consider myself a person who adheres to principles. If something touches my bottom line, I will choose another way to win."
Belmont observed him carefully and said, "Oh... I didn't see that you still have principles."
Li Nuo: "Yes, of course, but I have lowered my moral standards, so it is difficult to touch on issues of principle."
Belmont smiled helplessly: "Can I ask what the principle is?"
"For example, you bastard just seemed to threaten me with the safety of my teammates." Li Nuo said with a smile: "So if you let me join your team, you might as well let me go to Alaska to be a sled dog."
Note 1: You can’t rely on me for the long word count. This chapter just feels more appropriate together.
Note 2: Regarding Mirror Master, this guy is actually the driving force behind many events in the original work, and I want to say that the devil does not tell the truth, so you don’t have to completely believe what he says in this chapter.
Note 3: Although this chapter has 1 words, there will be an update today, but I have to get some sleep first. I estimate that I will update it all before twelve o'clock tonight.
Note 4: Please vote for me! ! !Please vote for recommendation! ! !
