The shadow demon's massacre did not leave the giant a corpse that could be resurrected.
In other words, it swallowed all the corpses by itself.
In addition to the antlers, the monk and Hong who were resurrected by the antlers were also torn apart and eaten by the shadow demon.
The Shadow Demon seems to be particularly good at dealing with these resurrected dead. It always accurately attacks the hearts and heads of these dead at the same time. Just a light penetration can kill it directly. It’s as familiar and elegant as a skilled eater peeling off a crab shell.
Looking at the shadow demon that turned into liquid again, dripping out from the hole, and returned to the shadow pool under him, Aiwass asked curiously, "Are you in a dream?" Is the killing and devouring real and effective nutrition for you?"
"Of course"
The shadow demon made a low and hoarse voice like a lion's roar, "It's better. Said that this is food that is easier to digest.
“These lives are phantoms condensed by the power of the Pillar God. The reason why humans can be used as sacrifices and food for demons is because humans are a race directly affected by the snake father and the eternal self. Just as the supreme sky affects giants, candlelight affects elves, and dusk affects the undead, human beings are born with the adaptability to the path of transcendence and love, but each person's strength is different.
“Human beings’ desire for transcendence will become fuel and food for demons. However, this process needs to be digested.
“These beings in the dream world, what you use Although these illusory bodies and other beings, including giants, appear to be human beings, they are actually real phantoms, our fellow beings who are so weak that they have no self-awareness.
"Although I am a little regretful that this ritual was not constructed by the snake father, and swallowing them will not make me stronger, but in terms of taste, they can also be regarded as good and delicious cookies."
p>Aiwass understood.
This is equivalent to bringing the Beast of Sin to a dungeon to increase the experience of corresponding attributes. Phantoms can devour phantoms of the same attribute to gain growth. All living creatures constructed in dream rituals are intelligent and can act according to certain rules because these "intelligent individuals" are actually phantoms that mimic the corresponding individuals.
Their power is false and is temporarily given by the Pillar God.
It's like a ghost who doesn't know he's dead.
No wonder the Nine Pillars can build various "copies" so easily. This world is not fabricated bit by bit by them, but directly imported in batches from history.
All they have to do is extract a fragment from history, a small area that lasts for a few hours and has a limited scope, and then allows specific people in it to gain temporary life and intelligence.
Because those people are just building "phantom artificial intelligence", and the scenes can be fine-tuned. With the intervention of the Nine Pillars, the final development may also be in line with the real history.There is a difference.
That’s why this is “another possibility of history”.
The NCs in those rituals cannot realize that they are in the ceremony. It turns out that it is because they are really NCs. In other words, they actually know the identity of their NCs and are just pretending to be stupid.
Rather than saying this is a game or a script, it is better to say it is a ritual, an experiment, and a sandbox. By building a simulation environment, then introducing nine variables, and observing how things will end up change.
Because of this, they have "imported identities" and various tasks that can earn points. This is the reward mechanism to motivate them to take action and prevent them from doing nothing at all and wasting a simulation opportunity.
It is also possible to build a simulated environment and then introduce people from the Nine Paths to enter and screen.
Both possibilities are possible, the latter is more likely.
Because for the two ceremonies Aiwass has participated in so far, the historical prototypes are obviously not stories that all the Nine Paths can participate in.
In the first ceremony, at least the "newsboy" played by Sherlock obviously should not appear in real history. The same goes for the inspector played by the knight. They may have played a role in history, but at most they were fleeting side characters and had nothing to do with the murder of Alexander and his wife.
And this second ceremony was even more obvious.
The bodies used by the nine of them should all belong to warriors of the "Path of Power" in real history.
If nothing else, at least it is absolutely impossible for knights on the authoritarian path to appear because in the era when the Supreme Heaven still existed, there was no authoritarian path at all. In other words, if they really appeared in a simulated environment, the knight's extraordinary power should be completely unusable.
How strange.
The Nine Pillars God seems to want to do something, but he doesn’t seem to care about the results. At least low-level promotion ceremonies are handed over to their apostles to preside over, which shows that they at least don't care that much about the results of low-level promotion ceremonies. But he would put a lot of effort into making dungeons and writing tasks
Perhaps he will not be able to get the correct answer until Aiwass is promoted to a high position and participates in a promotion ceremony presided over by the Pillar God himself.
"Are we going to find the holy spear now?"
Lily's voice sounded from behind Aiwass who was lost in thought, "We have actually successfully advanced, right?"
< p>"Of course," Aiwass temporarily put aside his thoughts that he had no clues at all, raised his head and chuckled, "I don't know the whole story of this ceremony now.""If I am so confused, If I win, I will be a little reluctant. Opportunities for promotion are limited. This is an opportunity to experience a certain period of history firsthand."
"But where is the Holy Spear? We don't have much time, and it may be too late to conduct a blanket search. "
"No need, I know where the Holy Spear is.”
Aiwass replied, “You have run through three storage rooms now. If my guess is correct, these three storage rooms should be at the corners, right”
< p>"Yes. "Lily responded, "They are in the three corners of southeast and west. Our current location is the west side. The place where the knights and others quarreled was on the south side, and the place where Antlers and I appeared was on the east side. "
Aiwass analyzed, "This is a temple, so its construction must comply with certain rules. The buildings in the east and west can be connected in a line, and there is no way to go further north. So roughly speaking, this building is a triangle with its tip pointing south. And three storage rooms are at the end of the building.
"As mentioned above in the task, the chance of the giants going to the three storage rooms is random. If their bedroom is in the north, then the probability of them going to the three storage rooms is different. The giants are like bears They have the habit of hibernating. In this case, they will tend to go to the shorter route, that is, the south is the safer direction.
"But in fact, it is only close to the south. There is light only at the location. Giants have no night vision, and a light being lit at that altitude indicates that the giant has been here recently. It was the second day after we were arrested, and someone must have been eaten yesterday. Then the person who was eaten yesterday might have come from the storage room in the south. "
"So I assume that the distance from the giant's bedroom to the three storage rooms is the same. Then the location of the giant couple should be in the middle of the triangle. ”
But Aiwass felt something strange here.
The holy number of the supreme sky should be seven.
No matter it is the triangular building structure , the number of three storage rooms, and the occasional candlelight look more like the Candlestick Cathedral. The Candlestick Cathedral in Avalon is a triangular structure with the tip facing the south. p>
The giant has no night vision, but the corridor is extremely dark
So there is a possibility that the giant deliberately cut off the extra lights to make the temple look less dark. Light
If it is a candle-bearing temple, then it should be brightly lit. On the other hand, if it is not bright enough, the concept of being a temple will be destroyed.
< p>In addition, the "Giant Couple" once killed the apostles who dedicated themselves to the path, which means that they must also be apostles.The apostles who dedicated themselves to the path have similar personalities to Si Zhu and are usually kind to others. He would almost never attack the apostles of other pillar gods, not even the apostles under the command of Snake Father or Amber.
Let alone enter the temples of other apostles to attack them.
"If this couple is quite warlike and powerful, then their collection of holy objects should be far more than just this holy spear. In the same way, they should have been rewarded with more than a magic cauldron, and we should not have received the task of killing a giant with a holy spear at all.
"So I am aware of thisSince the layout of the building is similar to that of the Zhu Zhu Cathedral, there is a suspicion that this was once the temple of the Zhu Zhu, and then it was violently robbed by them relying on their numerical advantage and sneak attacks
" Because of this, they killed the apostles who dedicated themselves to the path and collected each other's weapons."
Aiwass speculated, "If the temple was robbed, then the magic cauldron would be released. Here, there is a reason to kill other apostles. Such a powerful act of violence is enough to be rewarded by the Supreme Heaven. The magic cauldron that can only be broken by the holy spear is basically a holy object."
"But these are all guesses," Lily said softly.
"Yes, but it is very simple to verify," Aiwass replied, "I made a layout after hearing the scream of Thunder.
" It is specifically mentioned in the mission that loud noises will wake up the giants. The sound was very loud that time. I was walking around the maze according to the rule of only walking on the left wall, and I heard the sound of thunder.
“The scream was enough to attract the giant. But it was about ten minutes from the scream until we left, and we didn’t hear the giant’s footsteps.
“So I speculated at that time that the giant was most likely sleeping at that time. They need a time to wake up.
"Then I have to make the worst possible decision. The giant who went to check the situation at that time may not be two people, but one. If only one person comes out, the other giant wakes up and guards In the bedroom, it would be more dangerous for us to pass by. According to the situation assumed by the Pillar God, we should sneak in and look for the Holy Spear.
"Because of the thunderous scream, the original plan was ruined. That's why I just hit the door deliberately and made a loud noise here. The volume was probably slightly lower than the thunderous screams before.
"The west side and the south side are far apart. If a giant went to the south side before, then there was another sound from the direction of the west side storage room this time. The remaining giant should also come to take a look. It depends on the situation."
In this way, the two giants can be drawn out from the direction of the bedroom.
Just as Aiwass and Lily were whispering, they heard rumbling footsteps.
They immediately hid.
And soon, as the handle turned, a door opened.
What came out of it was a male giant with a waterfall-like brown-red beard, like a standing brown bear, with red bear fur all over his body.
He looks like an orangutan with a human face and a human-like bear.
His body shape is like a hill, and the dark red muscles all over his body are as hard as rocks.
The giant's back is somewhat stooped, and his hands are long enough to touch his knees. One hand held a huge lantern, while the other hand was raised high and holding on to the doorknob. His eyes were huge, but the eyelids were droopy with age. The drooped eyelids are like heavy door curtains. I'm afraid someone needs to stand on his shoulders.Use a long fork to lift it up.
Aiwass’ conjecture was verified the moment the giant appeared
Because the giant was only thirteen or fourteen meters tall. The doorknob was at an awkward height, close to his throat.
In other words, this is not his home.
And Aiwass even recognized the identity of this red-haired giant
His name as the boss is Asparvaton Giant Chief, which is the follow-up to Shadow of Avalon. One of the final bosses of version 34.
He also has another identity. He will become an apostle in the field of love in the future.
Because of this old giant, he is actually the brother of the Shadow Sky of the Realm of Love and the Valkyrie Scathach who was pulled down by the Ring of Endings ritual.
