The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

Andusia also heard their conversation. With a chuckle, she whispered to the other people waiting here, "I didn't expect the recent progress to be so smooth? I thought there would be some unexpected complications. "

The first thousand and 120 chapters found a bit too many people

"Well……!"

"How? Can it work?"

Milia looked at the desperate appearance of the Alice doll, and couldn't help but ask - the Alice doll has been in this state for more than ten minutes. If there is any effect, it probably has obvious effects It was right to feel it, so she asked, wanting to see if Alice really felt the effect.

Just now, after returning from the contract cancellation instrument, Undini suddenly came up with a brain-opening idea—since part of Alice's contract magic has been canceled, and there is a vague ability to Let the spirit and the five senses leave the body of the doll, so why not try to see if it can really be taken back?

In case contract magic wraps Alice's spirit like an enchantment, doesn't that mean that the "enchantment" of contract magic has cracked a hole, revealing a gap, maybe Alice's spirit can be like It was like squeezing toothpaste, slowly squeezed out from the gap bit by bit, and then returned to the body.

Needless to say, this idea has been approved by Milia and the others. Perhaps it is impossible for ordinary people to do this kind of thing, but it may not be true for Alice. After all, her mental power is strong enough, maybe it is true. A part of the contract magic can be dispelled, and the mental power is forcibly withdrawn—like squeezing toothpaste.

Although Alice felt that their descriptions sounded unreliable, Milia told Alice that this kind of pictographic thinking is a common method in magic research, and finding a reference description for magic can help you understand magic better. Although the expression of squeezing toothpaste is not pleasant, it may be applicable to Alice's current situation.

Now that this group of people have said so, Alice can only try it according to what they said, so there is the above scene, Alice's whole face is tightly wrinkled, trying to squeeze the blood in her puppet body. The spirit broke through the shackles of the contract magic and was pressed out—but the result was also obvious, it still failed, and the toothpaste was not successful.

"No, no, no, no, it doesn't have the effect you said at all, let alone squeezing toothpaste, my mental power is like a stone, and I can't move it. The feeling that my mental power was freed from the shackles before is just a feeling after all. It’s like taking off a heavy schoolbag and feeling like I can fly, but it doesn’t mean I can really fly.”

In the end, Alice gave up, and lay down on the carpet, looked at the people around her, and said, "It's better to complete the remaining two conditions in the contract magic of the first generation of the devil as soon as possible, and bring a Those with strong mental strength should go to see the first generation devil king, and then tell the first generation devil king about Orion Stella's information."

"Alice entrusted the thieves to find the information about the guy named Orion Stella, right? I remember that Luna had already told the intelligence agencies of the various kingdoms about the information, so that these intelligence agencies would Searches for this name and similar pronunciations are placed at the top of the list."

Andusia heard the words, turned her head to look at Luna, saw that Luna nodded, and then continued, "If there is only such a person in the whole world, with the efficiency of the thieves and the kingdom's officials, it should be soon It can be found by searching... But it has been two days now, I feel that there are not too few people with this name."

Indeed, if there is only one person with this name, then I am afraid that news will come back in a short while. With the speed of the intelligence agencies of various kingdoms, it is not a matter of finding a person with a confirmed name—since two days have passed. There is no reply, which means that there are probably many people with similar names, and it is necessary to collect information on all of them.

"Then if you want to bring someone to meet the first-generation Demon King, who should you take? Most of the people present are people with abnormal mental power? At least for ordinary people, our mental power should be considered abnormal."

Flammy glanced at the others again. The information about that guy named Orion Stella is not up to them to decide, but they can make a choice about who to bring to meet the first generation of Demon King. Except for Lily Except for Si and Wendini, their strength is terrifying, and their mental power is far beyond ordinary people, so they must meet the conditions of the contract.

As soon as Flammy said this, Luna immediately walked out without saying a word, and sat next to the Alice doll—although she didn't speak, everyone understood what she meant. She wanted to follow Alice. After all, among the people present, she may not have the strongest spiritual power, but she is indeed the most authoritative in terms of spiritual power.

"Luna...it's okay, Luna's strength is enough, but if she meets the first Demon King, she should be able to escape smoothly."

Xiaosi glanced at Luna. In fact, she wanted to take the initiative to invite Ying just now. After all, as a living dead, even if something happened to her, it would not be a big problem. Refused, it was inconvenient for Alice to escape before because the strength of the Alice doll was insufficient, and Luna obviously did not have this problem.

When inside the seal before, the magical power and spiritual power in the body of the Alice doll were very average, so if you escaped forcibly, it would be easy to be captured by the first generation devil king, but now the strength in the body of the Alice doll is basically not inferior to that of the In Alice's heyday, Luna's strength was also at the level of a demon king, so escaping would definitely not be a problem.

What's more, the first-generation Demon King is in the seal, and there is no one in strength, while the Alice doll and Luna can ignore the effect of the seal through magic patterns. Under the ebb and flow, it is impossible for the first-generation Demon King to keep them both , when the time comes to complete the contract with the first-generation Demon King, they will be able to escape smoothly.

And when everyone was discussing the details of letting Luna go to the seal with the Alice doll, Alice's cell phone rang suddenly, and she took it over with her thoughts, and Alice found that the display on the phone screen was actually Rosa's name, after thinking about it, Alice pressed the answer button:

"Rosa? What's the matter? Didn't you just break up not long ago?"

About three hours ago, Alice and Rosa were both in the room where the kingdom's official contract cancellation instrument was located, and they had only been separated for three hours now, when Rosa called unexpectedly.

"Alice, we're almost done finding information about the person named Orion Stella that you asked us to help find."

Rosa's voice came from the other side of the phone, and her tone was a little subtle, "That's... if we count similar names, we have collected information on about 351 people. We may not know exactly which one you are looking for. Clear."

The method of screening personnel in the first thousand and 120th chapters

I don't know if it's a coincidence. After Rosa contacted Alice, Luna also received a contact from the Gryffin Kingdom's intelligence department, saying that they had integrated the information collected by various kingdoms and even the Demon Kingdom in the past two days. Finally, a total of 328 pieces of information on Orion Stella and similar names were collected.

The information collected by the authorities is actually less than that collected by the thieves, which surprised Alice, but after Rosa sent the information to Alice's crystal brain, Alice opened the files and looked at them for a while. , I understand why there is a gap between the information collected by the thieves and the information collected by the kingdom.

Because the targets identified by the intelligence agencies of these kingdoms are undoubtedly the real names, or the names recorded in the files, and the information found by the thieves, except that the real name is Orion Stella or similar names In addition to the people, there are also some guys who use similar names as code names in the thieves circle.

For example, the real name of the guy that Alice sees now is not clear yet, but his code name in the thief circle is "Oleon", which is somewhat similar to "Oleon", so according to what Alice said, "it is possible The name is close to Orion Stella's condition, and this thief was also written by the thief who collected information.

It is estimated that the thief code-named "Orion" did not know that he had been betrayed by his fellow thieves—of course, thanks to the fact that the thieves kept their true identity very deep, even writing this The guy with the file doesn't know the real identity of the thief codenamed "Orion", and the content is not much.

"The surname Stella is not a very rare surname. On the basis of this can be called a common surname, the number of people whose names are 'Oleon' or are relatively close to 'Oleon' naturally does not not enough."

Flora looked at Alice looking through the hundreds of files on the crystal brain, and shook her head helplessly. She has traveled in this world for thousands of years, and naturally she has seen many people with the surname "Stella". ", so it's clear that the surname is indeed not uncommon, so it's not surprising to find so many people whose names match or are close.

"But that's troublesome. With so many people with the same and similar names, how can we be sure which one is the one the first demon king is looking for? Or can we just find someone's information and give it to the first demon king? Is work a condition for completing the contract magic?"

Andusia looked at the dense file list on the crystal computer screen, and scratched her head a little tangled—they also knew nothing about this guy named Orion Stella, except for his name Other than that, they only knew that he was the clone of the first Demon King in the outside world. As for his purpose outside, they didn't know either.

Under such circumstances, it is a bit unrealistic to accurately find Orion Stella, who is the avatar of the first demon king, from these hundreds of files—of course, Alice can also be handed over to various kingdoms. There are enough magic stones in the intelligence department, let them go to all the people in these files to test whether they have dark attribute magic power.

The avatar of the first generation demon king must have the magic power of the dark attribute. This is certain, so if you use this trick, you can quickly screen out a large number of unqualified people, and you may even be able to directly screen until only one target remains——but This matter must be done with a lot of manpower, and it is best to let someone you trust to do it.

"Didn't you make a lot of magic stones that can sense the magic power of the dark attribute before? It's not very troublesome to make that kind of thing. Let's make some and give it to the staff of the kingdom's official intelligence department to help us try it. Yet?"

Milia said, "There are not many people who can have the magic power of the dark attribute on their bodies. Except for the avatar of the first demon king, there are very few guys who have touched special magic, or there may be some people in the devil world who have rare dark magic Demons with magical attributes, so as long as you use this method to check, there may be only a few people left in the target."

"Indeed, this kind of magic stone is very fast to make. Basically, as long as you have the magic power of the dark attribute, it can be made. If we make it together, it will only take a few hours to work on a few hundred magic stones."

Flammy nodded, and said, "But since it's all ready to be handed over to the kingdom's staff, why don't you consider sending some to the thieves? After all, the thieves are really good at finding people. If there are If they help, the speed of the investigation will be faster, right? Maybe the results will be directly investigated tomorrow?"

"Forget about the thieves. Except for the thieves we are very familiar with, most of them are very unreliable. As long as they have money, they dare to do anything. Because not many people know their true identities, their reputation follows the price. .”

Lilith shook her head. She has a thief attendant. Of course, she is very familiar with thieves. She said, "Although many thieves are trying their best to maintain their reputation in order to do more business in the future, if the money given by someone can guarantee Thieves have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and they don’t have to think about taking jobs anymore, so their reputation is like rubbish.”

"I also agree with Lilith's statement that it's okay to let the thieves help to collect information, but if this kind of target determination is left to the thieves, it may be betrayed by some greedy thieves instead."

Flora nodded, she also knew the nature of the thieves very well, "For example, after finding the target, they will not tell us, but try to bargain with the target person first, if the other party gives a suitable price, Then not only will the thieves not pass on the news to us, but they may betray our information to the target person.”

"The avatar of the first demon king may be well hidden from the outside world, pretending to be no different from ordinary people, but money must not be lacking. If this situation really happens, it will expose our affairs in advance, so This kind of thing really can't be handed over to thieves."

Milia also agrees with this statement, "It's okay if it's a thief that Alice knows like Rosa, but if it's handed over to a large number of thieves, the possibility of this situation is still very high, so this kind of thing is still handed over. Let the kingdom's official intelligence department do it, at least these people will not be so easy to buy."

The first thousand and 120 chapters of the second unexpected guess

"Not one? That's impossible."

Two days later, Alice and the others finally received a response from the Gryffin Kingdom's intelligence department, which was brought back by Luna, but the news brought back made Alice and the others feel very unbelievable—they sent hundreds of people to try it out. They continued to investigate the people on the list, but the final result was that none of them resonated with the magic stone.

It is not very difficult to make magic stones that can resonate with the magic power of the dark attribute. Alice and the others can be sure that the magic stones they make will not have any problems in terms of functionality. But the magic stone didn't respond at all. Rather, it might be a false alarm because the magic stone is too sensitive to the magic power of the dark attribute.

In fact, there have been several false positives. For example, in the kingdom of Terra in the demon world, an investigator took a magic stone and found the target. It turned out that the target successfully resonated with the magic stone. He thought he had found the target, and later investigated further. Only then did I realize that what the magic stone resonated with was not the target himself, but a magic book he was carrying.

That magic book seems to have been written by a rare dark-attribute magic talent in the devil world. It is well known that the original magic book will more or less carry the magic power of the writer when writing, so the magic book contains A trace of dark attribute magic power, and just such a little bit of dark attribute magic, was felt by the sensitive magic stone and resonated.

Although this incident was just an oolong in the end, it did show that the magic stones made by Alice and the others are fine. No matter how weak the magic power of the dark attribute is, those magic stones can sense and resonate, and then vibrate—this kind of The induction effect can last at least several days, so there should be no possibility that the magic stone has expired.

"Could it be said that the avatars created by the first generation of demon kings do not have dark attribute magic power? This is impossible. The transformation of the power of the demon king goes deep into the soul, and the first generation of demon kings must use their own soul breath or even soul fragments to create avatars. So the avatar she created is essentially a weakened version of herself."

Milia is also very puzzled by this situation. The news brought back by Luna made her doubt about the avatar of the first generation devil, "Since it is a weakened version of the first generation devil himself, as long as that avatar has magic power, it will definitely It is unavoidable to be contaminated with the aura of dark attribute magic power, even if it is only a little bit, it can be sensed."

This point, the others also nodded, because other people also have a deep understanding. They spent several hours making this kind of magic stone two days ago. During the production, the magic stone that almost filled the entire room was almost constantly vibrating. ——That's because they felt the magic power of the dark attribute on Andusia and others, and the visible effect is no problem.

The dark attribute magic power on the demon kings obviously cannot be hidden, and the avatars of the first generation demon kings should be the same. The reason why the previous demon kings were not so easy to be found is purely because the human world often has no way to detect the dark attribute magic power.

If the human beings in the past also had this kind of magic stone that can resonate with the magic power of the dark attribute, then the previous demon kings would not have had the opportunity to hide and develop for more than ten years, and would soon be found by spies sent by humans—this kind of magic stone It is not difficult to make the stone, but obviously the human beings in the past did not have so many demon kings to help them make this kind of magic stone.

"Could it be that her avatar named Orion Stella is different from other avatars, and is not made of the soul of the first generation of Demon King?"

Lilith put forward a conjecture. After all, it seems that the magic stone that can sense the magic power of the dark attribute has indeed failed to find the clone named Orion Stella, so now it can only move towards other possibilities. Think about it, "If it wasn't made from the soul of the first generation of demon kings, maybe it wouldn't have the magic power of the dark attribute?"

"I also thought about this possibility just now, but in the end I still think it's unlikely—because we once studied the soul of a clone of the first-generation demon king, and finally found that guy's soul was almost cursed. The task of the Demon King has the persistence of a fanatic."

Andusia shook her head, denying Lilith's guess, she said, "This is the reason why the first demon king was not afraid that his avatar might turn against the water, because she has already buried the soul of the avatar since she made the avatar's soul." Cursed, the avatar cultivated under such circumstances has no possibility of rebellion from the soul."

"That is to say, in order to prevent the clone from being betrayed, it is necessary to use one's own soul to make the clone. Even if you control other people's bodies to become your own puppet clone through other means, you must bury your own soul."

Milia nodded and said, "If she didn't use her own soul when creating the avatar, then she can't be sure whether the soul cultivated in this way will fundamentally deteriorate, and whether it will continue to listen to her when it grows up. If that’s the case——I don’t think it’s possible to do such a risky thing with the current situation of the first generation Demon King.”

"Then is there any possibility other than this?"

Wendini also frowned. She didn't know much about the power of the devil, but she wanted to help Alice and the others as much as possible, "The power of the devil is the soul, body, and spirit that resides in it. Are they all transformed, right? Is this transformation completely irreversible? Is there any way to make the impact of this transformation disappear?"

"Shouldn't it exist? I don't think I've ever heard of the ability to change the soul back. I know very well the transformation of the power of the devil. It is indeed a transformation that goes deep into the soul. Personally, I feel that there is almost no possibility of reversal."

Milia thought for a while, and finally shook her head. She is in the state of a soul at this time, so she was very convincing when she said this, "Look at me and Andusia, even if the body is damaged, but The soul still has traces of dark attribute magic, and after obtaining the body, it can still use dark attribute magic, which shows the depth of its influence."

"But it's not impossible to get rid of this effect."

At this moment, a voice suddenly broke into the conversation, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to realize that it was Xiao Si who spoke. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she smiled and said, "Necromancer, you You should know it? If you are transformed into a living dead like me, then your soul, body, and spirit will decay, and all the influences of being alive will disappear, and you will be reshaped in the state of a living dead... This should also be regarded as clearing away the evil spirit of the devil king. Force to transform the soul?"

The first thousand and 120 three chapters looking for the living dead

"Becoming a living dead...Indeed, if necromantic magic is used on a living person, it is tantamount to turning the living person into a dead person first, and then awakening the dead person in the way of a living dead person—in the process, because After experiencing a death, the body, spirit, and soul will undergo drastic changes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is completely reshaped once."

Milia frowned when she heard the words. She didn't think about necromancer magic, probably because she hasn't heard about necromancer magic for a long time since she woke up—in this era, Necromancer magic has long since disappeared, and necromantic magic that blasphemes the dead is regarded as evil, and it has disappeared thousands of years ago.

Of course, in Milia's view, modern soul magic is actually similar to some parts of necromancer magic. Necromancer magic also plays with souls, and the part that plays with corpses is replaced by some alchemists—— If you want to talk about the difference, it is probably that soul magic is simpler and rougher, and alchemists study corpses is an academic need.

Milia, who has studied almost all types of magic, of course knows what necromancer magic is like. Indeed, as Xiaosi said, if necromantic magic is to transform corpses, it is okay to say, it is equivalent to making corpses look different. The way to obtain rebirth, but if it is used on living people, it is indeed a kind of rebirth.

"It turns out that even the soul of the living dead will be reshaped once. This is the first time I have heard of it... After all, there is no necromancer magic for a long time now, and everyone knows very little about the living dead."

Lilith was a little surprised. As a person who was born and lived in modern times, she really didn't know anything about necromantic magic. When she heard them talking about necromantic magic, she curiously approached Xiaode and asked, " Did you have any special feelings when Xiao Shi was transformed into a living dead? Do you still remember clearly what happened when you were still alive?"

"I didn't feel anything special, because I was not made into a living dead in the state of a living person. I had already died once, so after becoming a living dead, the only feeling I had was 'I can move again. It's like this."

Xiao Si shook his head and said helplessly, "But after becoming a living dead, I have to follow the necromancer's settings and obey the orders of the person who holds Torres' gold coins, so after that I will be used like a tool." It has been used for a long time, and it was sealed away when it was not needed... The living memory has long been lost."

"Is it because time has passed so long that I can't remember clearly, or because my spirit and soul have changed? Have you ever felt any special changes in your soul?"

Andusia looked at Xiao Shi and asked, now that there is a conjecture that necromantic magic can change the nature of the soul, everyone feels that there is a breakthrough—no way, they have no other guesses to use at present, so they can only use it first. Thinking in this way, before that, they could only learn more information from the example of the living dead who died from childhood.

"This is really unclear. To be honest, I am different from you. When I was alive, I was just an ordinary magician. My soul and spiritual power were not strong. It is very likely that during my death, my The soul has already dissipated a lot, and that would already cause my memory to be incomplete."

Xiao Shi also expressed that she was helpless, because she really couldn't remember her past events clearly. She shrugged and said, "And I didn't know necromancer magic when I was alive. Know how much my soul has changed, but I can be sure that it has changed."

"It's fine if you don't know. It is enough to be sure that necromantic magic will change the nature of the soul. In other words, if the clone named Orion Stella has been transformed by necromantic magic, it is possible It no longer contains dark attribute magic power, right?"

Christine didn't know much about necromantic magic either. Her era was only 300 years away from now. At that time, necromantic magic had long since disappeared. Her understanding of necromantic magic can basically only come from In the history book, "then we are going to find out whether there are any living dead among the people written in these files?"

"Don't worry, the first thing to consider is if our conjecture is true, then why is Orion Stella transformed into a living dead? Although the living dead can improve their strength through external forces in a sense, but at the same time It will get a lot of negative effects, and the first generation Demon King shouldn’t need to transform his avatar into a living dead.”

Flammy stopped Christine's thoughts and said, "And don't forget, the first generation of Demon King said that Orion Stella was outside, and would send her a short message every 100 years. But there was no response about 1000 years ago - which sounds more like an accident to Orion Stella."

"You mean... It's not necessarily that the nature of his soul has changed so that we can't find it. It may also be that Orion Stella died unexpectedly, so naturally there is no such thing in those files. Our goal?"

Alice thought for a while, but finally shook her head and denied, "No, even if there is an accident, it will definitely not be dead, because if the clone of Orion Stella dies, the original Demon King There must be a response there, since she still wants us to find Orion Stella, at least she must be alive."

"So, there are two conjectures at present. One is that Orion Stella may have been changed by necromancer magic or other methods, so our talents have not found any information from the targets in these files. A guy with dark magic power."

Flora finally said, "There is another possibility that something happened to Orion Stella 1000 years ago. Although he didn't die, he might have been imprisoned somewhere and never had a chance to come out. activities, so among the files we found, there is actually no Orion Stella we are looking for."

"I think the latter possibility is relatively small... the clone of the first demon king, even if he is also a demon king, he may not be able to defeat him. Even if he wins, it must be very difficult, and it is even more difficult to capture alive."

Andusia curled her lips. She knew how difficult it was to deal with the clone of the first demon king. "Let's find out if there are living dead among the targets of these files."
