The Divine Hunter Chapter 15: Necromancy: Reincarnation
, the fastest update to the latest chapter of God-level Demon Hunter!
"What the hell!" Ignatius gasped violently, and retreated as if avoiding a snake. He even retreated to the corner, still looking horrified, "Why is there such an extremely evil thing in the mirror left by my great-grandmother?" ?"
At this time, Ignatius, no matter how slow he was, wanted to understand some key points, "Grand... Master, is it possible that the spell caster you are talking about is Jennifer Villiers, who put a curse on her family?"
Roy shook his head and sighed, "The vast majority of sorceresses cannot reproduce. If your great-great-grandmother was a sorceress, then the Viriles family would most likely cease to exist, and there would not be what it is today." You."
"It's not her? That's okay..." Ignatius breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, the demon hunter's words made him nervous again.
"Jennifer may not be a spell caster, but the spell cast by the Villiers family was cast by her own hands!"
"What? Mortals can also cast curses!?"
"Quiet, Sir!" Roy said in a cold voice, "As expected, all the answers to your great-great-grandmother's secret, the mark on your head, and the fate of the Villiers family are in this book. In the book." After saying that, the demon hunter turned to the stunned bald man,
"Do you know what I thought of? Letso."
The big man's fingers stopped in mid-air and did not continue to turn.
"What do you mean kid?"
"Look at the name, "The Book of Bones". Skeletons mean death. This book reminds me of a forbidden witchcraft - necromancy."
As a witcher, why do you know about this forbidden witchcraft?
Roy once curiously collected information about the Heart of Stone, Olgierd's summoning of the gatekeepers of the abyss, cats and dogs, and then accidentally discovered a brand new world - summoning magic (demon summoning)
Witchcraft in this world is divided into many schools, one of which is banned by all wizard colleges. Researchers will become the public enemies of all wizards in the entire continent. It is called black magic.
Black magic includes evocation magic, as well as necromancy that he believes is recorded in this booklet.
Leso raised his eyebrows, "Where did you hear this?"
"Have you forgotten my bloodline ability? This is a fragment of knowledge that I accidentally spied on."
"Keep reading, or are you scared?" Roy glanced at the bright red warning and felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.
"Witchers cannot reproduce, what use does this warning have for us?"
After Leisuo finished speaking, he casually turned to the second page. The second page was not the content of the Book of Bones, but a piece of yellowed paper inserted halfway, covered with Juanxiu's handwriting.
"This is...Jennifer Villiers' autobiography?"
"Left by my ancestors?" Ignatius pinched his nose and came over.
The three people’s eyes were focused on this thin piece of paper.
“The more beautiful you are when you are young, the more painful you will be when you grow old!
I used to have silky smooth skin and a look and figure that made the world marvel and be obsessed with me, but now it has become a nightmare. Youth passed away, beauty withered, and I became an old woman with wrinkles on my face and a bloated waist.
Although my dearest John and my children still love me, I cannot accept myself. I'm so tormented inside that I'm going crazy!
I can no longer tell whether it is an illusion or not. I can see the ridicule in the eyes of the young maids around me almost every moment.
I am not willing to give in! I prayed to the most devout goddess Meriteri, but she would not give me a response!
I asked the most famous alchemist in the city for help. He mentioned a beauty elixir, but the blood of the sun was missing.
I was so desperate that I didn’t even dare to see anyone. I locked myself in my room all day long, feeling that my body was withering like the pot of chamomile on the windowsill. My world turned gray, and I...was worse than dead.
But sometimes accidents come unexpectedly——
Glancing down through the window sill, I saw him... He was simply dressed and unspectacular, like an ordinary country businessman, but he possessed all kinds of weird and magical means, which left me speechless. describe. ”
He proposed a deal to me, teaching me the method of eternal youth, but it required a high price... And I, a drowning man, desperately grabbed the life-saving rope... I agreed to him.
He gave me a book and a 'toy'...forbidden witchcraft? I didn’t understand what this meant at the time, but I was willing to pay any price in order to no longer face that wrinkled old face——
Even if you fall into the abyss forever! ”
The self-narration ended here, followed by the sound of Ignatius swallowing hard, but his lips moved but he did not speak, and his eyes continued to follow the witcher's fingers.
On the next page, at the top of the Book of Bones, there is a row of eye-catching black characters written in standard common language:
"Mortals have a shorter lifespan than elves and dwarves, but they can also enjoy long life and youth!"
——"Necromancy: Reincarnation"
The writing is no longer red like blood, but pure black. The rows of twisted fonts are also mixed with dense, uneven and tiny particles, and in addition to the disgusting smell of rotting flesh and blood on the first page, there is a faint smell of ashes.
"The paper of this book..." Lei Suo's face tightened, and his fingers gently stroked the pages, "It is made of human skin, and the writing ink is mixed with ashes."
Ignatius clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and muttered, "Human skin? Ashes ink... God, was this book written by a devil?"
"Devil?" Roy thought about this word, and then thought of Jennifer's previous self-narration, and a special sense of familiarity emerged, "Who could be the person who bewitched Jennifer? What price does he need Jennifer to pay?"
"This is the White Orchard..."The Book of Bones" is hidden in the mirror...Why does it feel so familiar to me...but I can't remember it."
The memory seemed to be sealed... Roy scratched his hair slightly anxiously, his face was gloomy and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead. There was a touch of inspiration that seemed far away, and just when he was about to catch it, it always retreated into darkness.
Lesuo suddenly patted him on the shoulder, "Kid, if you can't stand the stimulation, don't watch..."
Roy shook his head, cleared away the complicated thoughts, and returned his attention to the "Book of Bones".
This book is very thin, with only five pages in total. All the content in the book is used to describe the witchcraft "Necromancy: Reincarnation".
"Verbena, monkshood, parsley leaves, celandine...crush, dry, and make a mixed solution."
"Water ghost brain, evil spirit dust, crow's eyes, ghost needle mushroom, the blood of the caster...constituted into tattoo potion."
"Abstain from **** for four weeks."
"Bath with prepared herbs to wash away the dirt of body and soul."
"On a night when there are no stars and the moonlight is blocked, drink the mixed solution and use tattoo medicine to imprint sacrificial symbols on the skin of the left and right wrists, abdomen, left and right calves, and the top of the head..."
In addition to complicated text explanations, the book is also equipped with vivid illustrations: anatomical diagrams explaining the structure of the human body, diagrams of the relationship between the human body and magical energy...
The more Roy watched, the more frightened he became. He had heard from Coral as early as in the Meliteli Temple that almost all spells required magic as a medium to be cast. Mortals, even if they learn the entire process of a certain spell, cannot release it, but Necromancy breaks this iron law. It can even be said that this "Necromancy: Reincarnation" is specially created for mortals.
Wizards have long lifespans and magically transformed beauties, so they have no need for this spell.
"No wonder necromancy is called forbidden witchcraft."
No magic power is used in the process of performing the spell. As long as a literate mortal is able to follow the records in the Book of Bones, he can proceed step by step to the end.
"Look at this sentence..." Lei Suo pointed at a row of words in the skeleton book, "After the witchcraft is completed, a direct descendant who is blood-related to the caster, as well as his spouse, will have sacrifices on their bodies. Sacrifice talisman. Sacrifice talisman continues with the direct bloodline."
This can explain the birthmarks on Ignatius and his relatives, and the sacrificial talisman must have appeared on Sarah, the only daughter of Jennifer's three children.
“After the caster dies for a period of time, the bones transform into demon spirits, which will instinctively search for bloodline descendants with sacrificial talismans in order to occupy their bodies.”
"That's it." Roy suddenly realized, turned to Reso and said, "I went to the Villiers tomb to confirm it this morning. As you guessed, the remains in the coffins of the three women were missing. Fei... Now it seems that this is because after they died, they turned into demon spirits and returned to the castle to seize the bodies of their descendants. The three piles of evil spirit dust on the ceiling are evidence."
"Seize...descendants...flesh...?" Ignatius, who was listening next to him, licked his dry lips, "What does this mean, Master?"
Roy turned his head with a strange look, "It means that after your great-great-grandmother died, she took your great-grandmother's body, and after your great-grandmother passed away, she took your grandmother's body..."
“The fact that women are in power is not to commemorate the achievements of their ancestors, but is a rule set by Jennifer Villiers in order to maintain her rule over the family.”
"Why did your mother Mary risk her own life to give birth to a daughter? Because you have lost your fertility and have no daughter, she can only do it on her own. As the target of rebirth!"
"The source and caster of the Villiers family curse is none other than your ancestor, Jennifer Villiers!"
"Stop!" Ignatius raised his hand in panic to stop the witcher's words, his head covered in cold sweat and his voice trembling, "Grandma...Mary...how is it possible...Master, are you scaring me?"
"Accept the reality, Sir," Roy's voice was bone-chilling, "Family of the Villiers, the women of your lineage are the same person from beginning to end, and they are all your first-generation ancestors - Jennifer ·Villiers!"
"No!" Ignatius shouted and hit the wall. He collapsed on the ground, his face was bloodless, and he looked as if he was despairing.
"Read this passage again, Roy." There are a few remarks at the end of the Book of Skeletons,
"If the caster is a female, only the body of the female descendant can be taken. If the caster is a male, the same applies."
"This is a bit strange...can't you change your gender after reincarnation?" Roy complained, "Is it possible that the soul is still related to gender?"
"Who knows?" Reso said, "You can ask Rita Nieder for advice when you can."
"Anyone who wears a sacrificial talisman will coexist with bad luck. Accidents and diseases may take their lives at any time. The caster is also in this cycle."
"This means..." Roy thought, "If the caster dies without descendants, he will only become a demon spirit forever."
"The closer the descendant's bloodline is to the caster, the more memories will be retained after reincarnation."
"Then, the Villiers family has been intermarrying with foreign races generation after generation, and their bloodline is getting weaker and weaker. Jennifer should retain fewer and fewer memories." Roy thought, "Is it possible that at a certain time After reincarnation, will she completely forget the content of necromancy?"
No one can answer this question except Jennifer.
The content of the Book of Bones ends here.
The two demon hunters spent a lot of time digesting this massive amount of information.
Sir Ignatius also recovered some sense from the shock, but when he thought of the mother who raised him, his body was taken over by his family ancestors, and he was still with him... He felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. of discomfort and despair.
"At least... I have figured out the source of my family's misfortune... The next step is to completely eliminate him!" Ignatius wiped the cold sweat on his face and asked cautiously, "Master, this book ...How are you going to deal with it?"
"This is a relic of your ancestors. Of course it must be returned to you." Roy gestured and threw the book of bones towards Ignatius.
"No, Master, don't be joking..." Ignatius wiped his cold sweat and refused, "I don't want such an evil thing, I'll give it to you...Yes! Whatever you do with it!"
"That's okay," the two demon hunters exchanged looks. "Then I'll keep this book for you first." Roy said and put the Skeleton Book into his personal space. He actually didn't intend to keep such a hot potato.
"Wait until it is finally burned."
"There is the biggest problem at the moment," Leisuo said in a deep voice with his hands folded across his chest. "The source of the curse is your ancestor, Mrs. Jennifer. As long as she is solved, the bad luck of the Verres family will definitely be broken. But She turned into a banshee and disappeared..."
"According to the records in the Book of Bones, after leaving the tomb, she would seek out her female descendants for reincarnation. But she did not return to Armavit Castle. Sir, do you have an illegitimate daughter outside?"
"No..." Ignatius suddenly screamed as if he had been stung by a bee, "I have never touched another woman! All my children have passed away, and I have no children or sisters now."
"Think again..."
"I'm sure!"
"How about we ask Steward Grant for advice, Sir, you are often drunk, and you might not be able to control your body one day."
The witcher found the butler, who pondered for a long time after hearing this,
"The master's illegitimate son...I'm not sure..."
“Not sure?” Ignatius asked in surprise, “Have I ever been drunk and messed up?”
"Sir, have you forgotten?" Grant looked at Sir's expression carefully and said respectfully, "More than a year ago, you got drunk and broke into the wedding of a resident of White Orchard. I forcibly exercised the right of first night to the bride at the wedding. But I think, I won’t win in one go.”
The witchers also remembered what happened after Grant was hypnotized.
"Who is the bride and where is she?!" Ignatius' voice was stern, his expression was crazy, and he was a little overjoyed. He suddenly realized that maybe he still had descendants.
"God bless, finally the Villiers family has not been extinct!"
"At the beginning, I was still a villain helping the master to deal with the aftermath. I happen to remember that the bride was the wife of Bram, a farmer in White Orchard... who lived in the house on the east side of the village. ~IndoMTL.com~ Grant recalled, "To be precise, she Now a widow, her husband Bram has died of illness. ”
"Bram?" Roy on the other side fell into deep thought when he heard the name.
"Master, have you ever heard of this man?" the steward explained patiently, "Bram is the cousin of Briana, the proprietress of the White Orchard Inn."
"The White Orchard Inn is not the White Orchard Tavern, Brianna..." Roy held his head in pain. The next moment, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply, and a biting chill enveloped his body and froze his heart.
"I remembered!"
What I saw in the White Orchard Tavern was the drunken man in trousers who sat by the window drinking and finally disappeared inexplicably. He also caught a previous inspiration about the Book of Bones.
The person who made the deal with the first generation ancestor of the Villires family, the person who taught her the Book of Bones, was not a wizard. It was no coincidence that Jennifer hid the Book of Bones in the mirror.
"A hundred years ago, the White Orchard, the ordinary country merchants, and the patrons of the tavern, could they be - the mirror master Gunter O'Dimm?!"
