It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"Well, let me think about it—Her Majesty the Queen should just want the residents of Enoch to see your strength, so the people selected by the Secret Party should be very measured. Except for the Secret Party, those older nobles should They will save their strength, and they will not show their faces on such occasions. There are not many candidates for the new party other than me, but..."

But the man frowned quickly,

"You have to be careful of Alan, he is a lunatic, and he might try his best at the martial arts competition."

"Alan... what kind of man is he?"

Duncan's nervousness made Lucien feel that the name was a bit strange.

"Yes, Alan Zmissi, the new patriarch of the Zmissi clan and the leader of the Holy Blood Party."

Duncan threw back his full glass of ale and drank it,

"You should have heard of the Holy Blood Party. That group of people regards this filthy blood as a gift from heaven. They believe that all the rights of nobles are sacred and cannot be compromised. As the clan chief, Allen holds a sacred object , if nothing else happens, he will be your biggest trouble in the martial arts competition."

Lucien sighed, his strength was really a flaw in this kind of thing.

"How is the strength of that Alan Zimixi compared to Niels Cain or her sister?"

His knowledge of the high-ranking filthy blood species is limited to Fitili's performance on the journey and the alliance's record of the Nils incident, so he can only use them as a benchmark to measure other filthy bloods.

"I don't know about Abigail's strength, but Nils fought Allen before leaving Enoch, and they seemed to have a tie."

"That is to say, the Clan Chief of Tsmixi is as powerful as Nils... It would be great if Miss Williams could wake up during the martial arts ceremony, or..."

Duncan poured a glass of ale for the troubled Lucien. Although he didn't think any human female wizard could defeat Ellen Zmissy, since Lucien was so confident in the girl lying in the coffin, there must be something corresponding reason.

"Duncan, when we first arrived in Nod, one of our companions disappeared. You know, we wizards can perform divination to a certain extent through the things left by the master, and the results of the divination tell us that her whereabouts are related to this city. .”

Prior to this, Lucien thought that if the disappearance of the shadow was done by a certain aristocratic party, then they should find an opportunity to contact him and put forward conditions after the envoys arrived in Enoch, otherwise it would be meaningless to do so.But as time goes by, the possibility of this conjecture is shrinking a little bit.

Enoch is too big, if you only rely on the dozens of members of the envoys to find it, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.Although he and Duncan have not yet established complete trust, they can only seek his help now.

In Lucien's view, the worst outcome is that this matter has something to do with Duncan, and even that is just a failed attempt to make the other party more vigilant.

Duncan's expression became serious,

"You mean someone kidnapped members of the mission? But we only got the news in the last few days... Well, I already know about this, and I will tell Her Majesty the Queen later."

"thank you very much."

Small science, ①: The setting of "Book of Nod" is adapted from the generally recognized setting of vampires, which is the "Dark World" of the American White Wolf Company.Cain, the ancestor of online vampires, was also the earliest setting of White Wolf Company, not the "Bible" as misunderstood by some people.There is never any mention of Cain being a vampire in the latter.

Chapter 78 Asshole

Under the simple guidance of a few Enoch guards, Hyde found the Serpent's Pavilion, which was a large hall set up on the upper floor of the main castle.

Unlike the darkness of the Blood Throne, the zenith here is a large piece of stained glass, through which the light bands in the clouds can fill the entire space of the Serpent's Pavilion.

Hyde asked curiously about the origin of the strange name of this hall.According to the Knights of the Guards, as a dedicated hall for the sacred object "Ampsa's Coffin of Death", countless nobles have used it to extend their lives here, just like the shedding of a snake's skin, which is why it is called "The Pavilion of the Snake".

Going up the dark green carpet embroidered with silver snake patterns, Hyde found Ling on the top of the Rebirth in the center of the Serpent Hall. This altar is coiled upwards like a poisonous snake baring its fangs and roaring towards the sky.Its position is just under the largest piece of circular stained glass. When the roof is opened in four directions, it can bathe in the moonlight to the greatest extent.

Hyde walked towards the short-haired girl standing in front of the cast steel coffin.

"How's it going."

"I can feel the magic power in the coffin getting stronger day by day. Ella should be able to fully meet the awakening conditions they said."

Ling seemed to have maintained an upright posture before, and her stiff body slowly relaxed after Hyde appeared. It seemed that she planned to stand like this until the next night when she woke up.

"good news."

That's all Hyde could say, as he wiped the floor and sat down.

Ling frowned because of the boy's actions,

"what are you planning to do?"

"Wait here together, you know that even that doll had an accident when it was left alone, you don't think you are stronger than her, do you?"

"It's up to you... But with the way you are now, you might become a burden to me if I encounter a difficult situation. Can you still use the toy wooden sword on your back?"

As he spoke, Ling took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket as if he suddenly remembered something.

"I'm not in the mood to see what Lucien sent with Ella's messenger just now."

Hyde took the paper and scanned it quickly.

"Barely use it, there is still a little magic power left after incomplete use last time, but it's hard to say next time."

After explaining that he still had the strength to fight, he finally finished reading the contents of the piece of paper. Lucien's letter inevitably had some bad habits left over from being in love, and he used a lot of meaningless rhetoric. The font is also a fancy artistic style that makes it a little difficult to read.

"It's about performing martial arts. You've heard Enoch's Queen Queen say it before... About two days later, the welcome ceremony will be held. We will have a few fights with the Nodites according to the rules. Probably Those dirty bloods want to see if we are qualified to cooperate with them."

He crumpled the paper up again casually and threw it away,

"The head of the group got a list of some of the participants from Duncan Kovalic. I heard that there is a very troublesome person on the opposite side. Now I can't go back. I probably can't handle that with my current state. Some kind of clan leader holding a sacred object, it would be no fun if he died here."

"If the ceremony is held two days later, I may not be able to help. That is the most critical time for Ella to wake up."

Lingyan didn't quite answer either.

Hyde glanced at her in surprise. He felt that Ling might not understand the meaning of this martial arts performance, so he began to try to explain the stakes.

"This martial arts performance is not a trivial matter. If we lose, those damn radical parties will attack us. Didn't you just say that Ella is in good condition and fully meets the conditions for awakening? Then I can talk to you Fiennes and the others stayed to protect the coffin. But you must go. If you don’t go to the ceremony, I’m afraid no one can deal with that Ellen Zmissy. The information Lucien got said his power Comparable to Niels!"

Ling shook his head and began to say something that sounded far-fetched.

"In Greek legend, Orpheus asked Eurydice to return from the underworld. He used the magic power of the lyre to cross the river Styx and the miasma, but in the end he failed...Although the death coffin is not the real underworld, but It is not an easy task to return the soul to the body."

"We need to guide the huge magic power in the moonlight tide two days later, when the curse is the thinnest. The stronger the magic power of the subject, the more likely it is to succeed, and it will not cause the body to be infected too much. cursed."

Hyde became even more confused,

"Even if Aila's magic power looks at the whole of Enoch, there is no one stronger than her except for the monster queen. If there are indeed successful precedents for these filthy blood, then I really can't think of any failures for her." possibility."

"At the end of that myth... Orpheus did not turn back as promised, which resulted in Eurydice not being able to return to the world. This was not because Orpheus's lyre was not beautiful enough. In other words... ....What they lack is not strength, but a closer connection or the belief to return to the world."

After a few seconds of silence, Ling's face turned pale, and then he said word by word:

"My biggest fear right now is that Ella may not want to wake up herself."

-

What is she talking about?

Hyde felt that Ling had become a little unreasonable, or that she had been like this for a long time.

"What does it mean that Ella doesn't want to wake up? How is this possible? She is that Ella Williams. Neither the Son of God, nor that Kraft traitor, nor that lunatic trust executive can kill How could her, Ayla's willpower be inferior to a few old and fearful filthy blood?"

He looked at Ling in disbelief, and after a few seconds, he confirmed from the other's face that she was serious just now.

This caused a black anger to expand rapidly in his brain, as if something hot was smoldering in his throat.

"Damn it - Mephisto! What happened to you that night?! How could Ella suddenly give up her plan to survive and not want to wake up again!"

At the end, he had already started yelling angrily.

Hyde's face was flushed, and a raised vein ran from under the skin of his neck to his jaw.If he had known this would be the result, he would never have told Shadow that he had given up on Williams' coming-of-age birthday, and that the tomboy from the Mephisto family in front of him was the most suitable guy for that girl.

Damn it, this brainless female gray peacock is just standing there with a blank expression? !She is really the same as in the dream a few years ago, just a damn stupid bird with a long tail that can only cluck or peck people with its beak!

Hyde cursed unscrupulously in his consciousness, but the few remaining etiquette habits prevented him from uttering these words from his mouth.Although, as a pure-blood noble from the Belusay family, he shouldn't have done anything to women, but to be honest, he never regarded the madman of the Mephisto family as a woman.

Hyde really wanted to grab Ling by the collar and slap her, but because of his height, it was difficult to complete this action, even standing on tiptoe was very difficult and lacked momentum.

After taking a step back in embarrassment, he barely calmed down.Comparing the physical abilities of the two, if it wasn't for Ling standing still, he should not even be able to touch the corner of each other's clothes.

"What's going on, tell me exactly what's going on!"

Ling took a deep breath, spat it out intermittently, and sat down leaning against the iron coffin a little tiredly.

"You're thinking wrong, it's not that there's something wrong between me and her... Ella is worried that sooner or later she will turn into an uncontrollable monster..."

She recalled what the silver-haired girl said that night, and said it without embellishment.Not just Ling, anyone close to Ella can be said to have something to do with the girl's decision at the time.

Following Ling's words, Hyde's face turned bluer and bluer, and the original anger had no place to vent, which made him feel awkward all over.

In the end, the boy just hammered the floor heavily, and then leaned against the wall limply. After a long time, he cursed weakly:

"Damn—for that?"

"With so many dangers and battles, we have not seen even the Son of God... My life is my own, and no one can take it away. This arrogant fool, who does she think she is... ...Which wizard won't get out of control, and according to her, we should all kill ourselves!"

The boy buried his face in his palms, apparently less able to control his tear ducts as his body degenerated into a child.

"Who does she think she is... asshole Williams!"

After Hyde's mood stabilized a bit, Ling kicked him and turned the boy over.

"If you want to cry, go outside and cry, you annoying dead child, Ella is still alive-I don't allow her to die like this, even if you pull her hard, I will pull her back!"

The eyes of the short-haired girl looked red. She had been holding back for a long time, but she was almost collapsed by the other party's emotions and lost face.I had restrained myself from not caring about Hyde's questioning and the abuse written on my face before, and it would be death to annoy her at this time.

"Leave Ella to me, and I will find a way to bring her back. Just go deal with that Elenzimisi. Didn't you just say that you can still wield a sword? You can drag him to death together, right? ?”

Hyde turned over and sat up, he heard the confidence in Ling's words.Whatever it was, at least the latter should have some confidence in waking Ella up.

After confirming this, Hyde finally felt a lot more relieved, like a heart that had fallen to the bottom and was pulled back to the limit by an elastic cord.He forced a smile, rubbing his face and messy hair casually.

"You're hiring child labor, and you're letting me die with the filthy blood, isn't it heartless?"

"Among the three people here, you are a rich young master who has never done child labor. When the time is up, leave one person to change shifts, and then let me go as far as I can!"

Chapter 79 Life and Death

Death is a wonderful state that cannot be explained. Wizard scholars and even philosophers in the ordinary world have their own interpretations and different views on it.For the latter, the world after death exists only in romantic fantasy, or there are pragmatic people who believe that the spirit will annihilate along with the body and return to nothing.

But for wizards who have access to mystery and even soul bodies, the definition of death may be different from what the former see.Can ghosts who can think and rely on matter to continue in this world be regarded as death, can the fragments of consciousness reawakened in the dreamland be regarded as death, and can the birth and annihilation of magical souls be regarded as death?

Dmitry Dalton, a master of the school of life alchemy, once put forward a point of view that the world seen by wizards is not fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.Whether it exists as a wandering spirit or in various other strange forms, it can be understood as the extension of the life process in another sense, which still cannot explain the meaning of death.

When the wandering spirit dissipated, the fragments of consciousness in the Dreamland died, and when any state of existence that could be observed by the wizard disappeared.

The dead at that time - what will they see?
