She Is Not a Witch Chapter 89: Blood ban

With tall limbs and long, slender legs full of barbs, these spiders give people a strange horror. The horror comes from a structure that is completely different from many common creatures. After the insect is enlarged, the special body structure impacts the common sense that has been formed for a long time.

This structure, which is different from that of mammals, always surprises and shocks.

Lorraine Hill raised his head slightly, looking at the white spider that was rushing down in mid-air. At such a close distance, the fine hairs on the tall feet were so clear, and the gradually darkened fangs secreted liquid, like water. It shot out like a line, rushing towards the face.

In this brief moment of less than a second, these high-speed and nimble spiders pounced on the girl. Seeing that the thorn-like fangs were about to bite the white neck, the sword The scholar girl finally moved.

The long sword fluttered like a butterfly in his hand, and several lavender blades flashed across the forest, cutting off the obstacles in the air without sound, and the figure standing there was like a phantom,' Swimming past the sides of these spiders, he slowly lowered the sword again.

After a while, a thin 'rain' began to fall behind the girl, and the fragments of the spider's corpse hit the fallen leaves and the mossy ground, splashing a yellow-green viscous liquid, and the surrounding air was also slightly smeared. sour smell.

After smelling this smell, many little spiders in the forest began to flee around, as if they had been warned.

But considering that letting these spiders go might harm more people, Lorraine Hill acted again. She quickly shuttled through the forest with a sword in hand, felling big trees one by one, and chopping up escaped little spiders. Countless white and yellow-green limbs and acid were sprinkled on the ground, and the rapid sound of the sound in the forest The arc of lavender light swam like lightning, clearing away the dangerous spiders in the circle.

After nearly half an hour, the forest finally quieted down again, and Lorraine Hill also sat on a big tree not far away to rest a little tiredly. This big tree is now lying across the ground, and dozens of miles ahead of it is a pile of spider corpses.

"Finally finished." After resting for a while, Lorraine Hill wiped off his sweat, and then put away the sword stuck in the ground.

Killing the big spiders was easy for her, but keeping the little ones from getting away was hard. It took a lot of effort for her who only had War Order 4.

Now that the spiders were dealt with, Lorraine Hill went to the forest again to see what was hidden in the forest where the spiders were hiding.

In the cobweb-covered jungle, there are silk threads and white cocoons everywhere, some of which are used to hatch small spiders, and some of them are wrapped with dead beasts.

After cutting some white cocoons with a sword, Lorraine Hill handled these things carefully, and saw the remains of a few fish bones which were rare.

Is there a river near here? The girl guessed, and then remembered the raccoon dog she met before. This kind of animal often lives by the water.

After the inspection, no human corpses were found, which made the girl heave a sigh of relief. Maybe this place is too remote, so few people come here.

She walked out of the dark spider forest, took out a small pot, and poured the prepared fire oil along the periphery of the forest.

Stretching out her fingers to feel the direction the wind was blowing at the moment, the girl nodded, then threw down the match and lit the grass below.

Then a burst of green smoke floated among the dead leaves and grass, and a small flame rose up in the billowing green smoke, igniting the surrounding green smoke, and soon other parts also burned, and the green smoke gradually faded .

Smelling the scent of burning plant ash in the air, Lorraine Hill stood aside, watching the fire gradually spread and burn towards the spider forest behind.

As the evening approached, the flames grew stronger and stronger, and the fire that soared into the sky brought waves of heat, rushing towards the surroundings, making people feel the burning sensation on their faces just by looking at it.

"I hope it won't be too noticeable." Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, the girl said worriedly.

It's not that she's worried about the fire getting out of control. She's still prepared for this, and she's prepared a fire barrier in advance, but she's afraid that other people will see her rushing over and misunderstand that she's setting fire to the mountain, although that's the essence.

The night was gradually falling, and the fire was still going on, and it was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. The bright yellow light of the fire shone around, and Lorraine Hill was sitting not far away, with a few treated fish stuck on the ground in front of him .

After finishing the task, she looked around and found a rushing small river in the forest behind the hillside, so she also caught a few fish for dinner.

Under the firelight, the swordsman girl looked at the lingering fire with a little anxiety, walking back and forth. At this time, the black and white raccoon trotted over again. It hid in the grass in the forest, and its small black eyes looked hesitantly at the charred fish.

After swishing for a while, the cat-sized raccoon came out again, came to Lorraine Hill, watched the girl bark a few times, then raised its front foot, and landed in the direction of the grilled fish. fall.

That look seems to be saying, can I eat it? It looks a little pitiful and cute.

"Okay, I know you're hungry, so I'll give you one." Lorraine Hill squatted down funny, looking at the little animal.

"But only one, I'm hungry now." The girl took advantage of this to pat the raccoon's head.

————

On the other side of the mountain and the forest, the back door of the lord's castle was pushed open again, Viscount Moruo walked out with the butler and the girl again.

"Try it again tonight, I don't believe it." After a day of irritability and anxiety, Viscount Mo Ruo was still a little bit unwilling.

"Yes, my lord."

The housekeeper followed at the end, and the girl with dark blond hair was in the middle. Compared to yesterday, her clothes were much tattered, as if scratched by branches and thorns. But today, he still staggered behind Viscount Moruo.

"You'd better go faster, I don't have time to wait for you." After walking a certain distance, Viscount Moruo turned his head, looked at the girl and shouted.

"Yes, my lord." After hearing the reprimand, the girl trembled in fear, and then replied in a low voice and uneasy.

"Hmph." Viscount Mo Ruo turned around again, and the three of them walked slowly towards a hidden place in the forest.

In the end, the three of them stopped under a big rock, which was about two miles away from the castle, so it couldn't be said how close it was.

After stopping here, the steward stepped forward according to his orders, found a hidden corner under the boulder, and injected some magic power. Soon after, the stone turned slowly, revealing the passage below.

The three of them held torches and lanterns and stepped into the dark passage, and then the boulder slowly closed again.

Walking in this underground passage, the world seems to be quiet, only the slight crackling sound of the torch and the whirring sound of the flame passing through the air can be heard.

The surrounding walls are fairly flat, and the steps under the feet do not show any signs of weathering and aging. It seems that they were built in the past ten years.

After the three of them walked this long passage for a long time, the surrounding walls and steps became another style, more primitive, and full of traces of time erosion.

There are exposed gray and black bricks on these walls, some of which have been crooked, and the steps under the feet are also broken, full of various gaps and gravel. If you walk in it, you will fall if you are not careful.

After walking through the long and quiet stairs, everything around became more and more silent and oppressive. At this time, the world on the ground seemed to be a very distant existence, but at this moment, the sound of my breathing was so clear.

"Here we are." Viscount Moruo's voice sounded, there was no surprise or excitement in it, only exhaustion and anxiety.

He turned his head again, looked at the young girl illuminated by the firelight, was silent for a while, and then stepped aside to reveal the scene behind him.

This is a small enclosed space with a stone wall at the end of this square passage. A relief of a skull is painted on the wall, along with a crescent moon wrapped with branches and wisteria flowers in full bloom.

This is the symbol of the Mercury Dynasty, and its style is still that of the early Dynasty. Although there is nothing in the square space, if you put your hand in it, you can feel a repulsive force, as well as a feeling of life being extracted and corroded.

This is the ban left by the Mercury Dynasty in the past. If you must break in by force, you must at least have the strength of Sequence 8, and this will also trigger the self-destruct secret technique left behind, allowing the intruder to return empty-handed.

In order to fight against the orc empire and the elven kingdoms in difficult times, the Mercury Dynasty established dungeons in various places in the early days. These dungeons are not suitable for life to live in, but they have little impact on undead creatures, and they have the advantage of fighting at home. Come and resist.

And if you really can't resist the evacuation, you will seal up what you can't take away.

According to Viscount Moruo's search and translation of ancient documents for more than ten years, he has figured out that a 'sacred object' obtained during the Mercury Dynasty is sealed here. Compared with ordinary creations, 'sacred objects' have extraordinary functions, and these things are not made by humans or elves, but are the inheritance of gods.

Just like saying that a witch is a fragment of a god, the holy object is a smaller fragment. Although these fragments are separated from the crown and it is difficult to return to it, they still retain a little bit of power.

The 'sacred object' representing the power of the gods is also a treasure that has been chased by various organizations and heroes for several epochs. Possessing it can even allow ordinary Sequence 9s to resist the terrifying power of the witch in a short period of time. The reason why the "Sage Council" can check and balance many witches.

The "Sage Society" that gathered the legendary heroes still retains a large number of "sacred objects". Although they are not often used, they have always ensured the supremacy of this organization as a powerful deterrent.

There are these red rust-like traces on the gray and white stone wall, which seem to be caused by the penetration of groundwater. Against this background, the skull and crescent moon on the wall also look more dilapidated, as if abandoned by time.

"It's a pity." Looking at the unreachable stone wall, Viscount Moruo groaned, and then stretched out his hand to feel the resistance in the square passage below again.

The hand seemed to touch a soft barrier. In the extraordinary perception, a kind of fresh and warm energy slowly flowed from the body. Before the body was damaged, Viscount Moruo retracted his hand again.

Now he only has the strength of Sequence 3, which can only be considered ordinary among nobles, and he has not improved for many years.

Before the world changed, he still had the strength of Sequence 4. After everything changed, it seemed to be more difficult for him to practice. Now that he has returned to Sequence 3, there will be no change.

Thinking of this, he shook his head again, then took out the holy white sphere in his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, and stretched it out again.

At this time, the viscous resistance in the air seemed to be neutralized and became weaker, and he could move forward slowly, and finally touched the skeleton on the wall. Some stone chips and dust peeled off from the wall and fell into his palm. He tried to input magic power or drip blood into the skull, but there was still no response.

Seeing this, he turned his head and looked at the girl not far behind him.

"You, come here."

The girl raised her face, touched her hand with some fear, then walked over with her head bowed and small steps.

Compared to Viscount Morrow, this girl suffered much less resistance. But even so, her face turned pale, and her body seemed to be crumbling.

When she got close to the stone wall, Viscount Moruo grabbed the girl's hand and drew a small opening with his nails to let the blood flow out.

Drops of dark red blood dripped on the mottled skull, and then the skull trembled, and there were bursts of rattling sounds from behind the stone wall.

Seeing this, Viscount Moruo and the butler focused on the stone wall, waiting for some kind of change.

But after a few minutes of this, the movement gradually quieted down until calm was restored.

"It's the same as yesterday." Viscount Moruo frowned, and slapped on the wall with some boredom.

What went wrong? He kept thinking in his mind, and then recalled the information he had queried from the classics over the years.

The device in front of me is obviously to verify the blockage of the bloodline, and only people with a specific bloodline can use blood to undo it. Although such a structure is rare today, it was once popular in the distant past.

Tracing the origin of this secret technique, we have to mention the era of the first human empire, the True Red Empire.

In the empire that was good at demon sequences, various blood-related secret arts flourished, and at first the nobles were also proud of their blood, so they invented this thing that can identify the blood of their descendants .

It's a pity that this kind of secret technique gradually declined during the Mercury Dynasty. Compared with an empire ruled by blood inheritance, the Mercury Dynasty is more like a union of necromancers, so it pays more attention to the inheritance of master and apprentice than blood. Therefore, as time went on, this kind of secret technique was used less and less. After the disintegration of the Mercury Dynasty, these ancient secret techniques were lost in wars and disasters.

Now he discovered this thing again in the ruins. After continuous research and testing, he finally determined his target on the remnants of the Mercury Dynasty.

After the disintegration of the Mercury Dynasty in the second era, many blood descendants of the original dynasty were exiled to the Isle of Eternal Darkness. This situation continued until after the chaos disaster at the beginning of the third era.

Because in the disaster, necromancers played a role again, the high-level human beings no longer continued to suppress this sparsely populated sequence, and some remnants of Everdark Island were able to return to the mainland, and a large number of them were assigned to barren and desolate The northern border of the empire, and the most famous of these remnants, and the representative is the Trey family with the gray raven as their coat of arms.

It was the undead army led by this family that finally captured the unfallen magical city of Oz, Odyssey, during the war between the Green Empire and the Oz.

After the war, the survivors of Everdark Island returned to the barren northern border, but a small number of blood remained in the southern border. They may be the product of a temporary love during the war, or they may be greedy for the warm climate in the southern border. The person finally stayed secretly.

Viscount Moruo spent a lot of time investigating one by one, and finally found the girl who was about to be executed in the prison in Longyi Province.

According to the obscure records of her ancestors, she is a survivor of Eternal Darkness Island, so she also has the blood inherited from the Mercury Dynasty.

Why does the mechanism behind the wall stop responding after rotating and vibrating? Is it because the bloodlines do not match?

Viscount Moruo pondered slowly, but rejected this conjecture again. The blood of this girl is genuine, or in other words, after hundreds of years of living in Everdark Island, the residents of the island have intermarried, and their blood has long been mixed. No matter how she can get a little blood of those quicksilver wizards back then.

Is it not pure enough? Maybe that's the case, but where else can I find a pure-blood descendant of the Mercury Dynasty? Even the Trey family, after so many years of intermarriage, can't be said to be absolutely pure.

Viscount Moruo was thinking, watching the blood-stained skull on the stone wall motionless~IndoMTL.com~ After a long time, he slowly lowered his hand from the wall, put away the holy white ball, and walked out again. This is a square passage.

"Master?" The butler asked suspiciously.

"Let's go back first." He looked at the blood remaining on his palm, and a message from the past slowly emerged in his mind.

It is said that during the period of the True Red Empire, there was a secret art of purifying blood. Although this was first used in Warcraft to extract blood to make potions, it may not be impossible to try it now.

The only obstacle is that he needs to think about where he saw this message.

It is estimated that this time I will have to search the whole library in the family again.

Thinking about something in his mind, Viscount Moruo walked ahead without saying a word, until he returned to the ground again, and the edge of the sky gradually revealed a cold white.

It's a new day.
