Recovering a person controlled by the Soul-Eating Mask has not happened before at least in the second generation. According to Nemo's explanation, it would be difficult for gods to release the control of the God-Eating Mask unless they use the summoning system as a cheat. One thing he has accomplished, in this case, Yalin doesn't think he can do it with his own strength. After all, in general, the power of the White Dragon King is more suitable for killing people rather than saving people.
Of course, it is generally impossible to use the summoning system to restore Celine. I don’t know how complicated this manipulation method is.
But thinking about it conversely, since the Soul-Eating Mask can control a person so that the other person can live and act like a normal person when being controlled, wouldn't it be enough to take the Soul-Eating Mask and allow Celine to remain normal during normal times? Look how simple this is~ Anyway, the person controlled by the Soul-Eating Mask cannot be detected by any means. As long as she does not take the initiative to give orders to Celine, then Celine will still be the princess of the Kalsemmen Empire on weekdays. , no one can tell the difference.
"Control others first and keep them in normal mode. Isn't this a bit..." Princess Luo Jie'an, whose integrity has not yet been lost, is obviously unable to accept it. How can she say that she had promised to recover Celine before.
<There will be no problem with the manipulation. In the second generation, people controlled by the Soul-Eating Mask are regarded as dead simply because the controlled person will unconditionally execute every command of the mask holder, even if They were asked to commit suicide. This state of being as if their self-awareness had been wiped out was considered dead. However, if you think about it in reverse, as long as no additional orders are issued, Princess Celine of the Kalsemmen Empire will return to her normal state. >
Regarding Yalin's remarks, Dieter and Miria also looked at each other. Neither the Saint nor the Great Sword Warrior knew how to view this situation. This kind of behavior of manipulating people's hearts and souls is certainly despicable and shameless. , but if it is true as Yalin said that the operator can live a normal life as long as he does not give orders, this seems to be the only choice in this situation where there is no choice.
Luo Jie'an was still a little uneasy: "So, does Princess Celine still count as herself?"
<What do you mean by 'myself'? Luo Jie'an! Does it refer to personality, memory, habits, principles, or something else? If it is these, I can guarantee that the person controlled by the Soul-Eating Mask will not forget it, and the person controlled can even continue to learn new knowledge and develop new habits. Almost nothing different from usual. >
Luo Jie'an was still a little hesitant after hearing this, because she really didn't know whether the person being controlled by the mask could still be considered to have a self.
<This is just a suggestion ~ Luo Jie'an! It's unclear how far the Soul-Eating Mask can control the mind when it's in an incomplete state. However, since Celine can break free as an ordinary person, there may be a chance of saving it. . >
"It would be great if that's the case." Finally, a smile appeared on Luo Jie'an's face.
<But the Soul-Eating Mask cannot be left alone. >
Yalin thought for a while and then asked Felician for detailed information. To be honest, he really wanted to take the Soul-Eating Mask away. Not to mention whether he could use the Soul-Eating Mask's ability, but at least it was a piece of equipment. Even if you can't use a quasi-sacred weapon, you can't let the personnel of the Holy City and the Holy See take it away. Originally, the forces of these two religious organizations were already terrifying enough, but it would be okay if they had a quasi-divine weapon.
Although both sides do not know the existence of the Soul-Eating Mask, there is no guarantee that both parties still have relevant ancient documents in their hands. He must seize the Soul-Eating Mask before the two major religious organizations. At that time, he will decide whether to let it go depending on the situation. Celine maintains this controlled 'normal' state.
<Felesian is not a native of the Kingdom of Saxony? >
Luo Jie'an nodded and recalled the information she had read: "He is not a native of Saxony. He seems to be from the Kingdom of Creses, and then he went around several times before recently arriving in the Kingdom of Saxony..."
Knowing that Felician was not a native of Saxony but had recently entered the Kingdom of Saxony, Yalin couldn't help but become confused. He obtained the Soul-Eating Mask, a terrifying artifact that can control people's hearts. If it were him, he would definitely try to control it. Those who are rich and powerful should allow themselves to enter the upper class overnight and enjoy all the glory and wealth. Instead of enjoying a luxurious life, this guy ended up in a small country in the far north like the Kingdom of Saxony. Even if you can't stay in the Kingdom of Creses because of the big news caused by using the Soul-Eating Mask, there are many other countries to choose from. Why go to the Kingdom of Saxony, which is located in a remote place and has a harsh climate
Although it was a bit straightforward, Yalin knew very well that the geographical environment of the Kingdom of Saxony was not a good place to live.
No matter how you look at it, you don’t think Felicien will decide to redevelop this place as its own stronghold. After all, apart from climate and environmental issues, the Kingdom of Saxony does not have a great influence on the mainland, except for the annual war with the Og barbarians. The only thing that will attract the attention of other countries is the rich mineral resources buried under the frozen soil. But Felician is obviously not the kind of person with big vision and ambition. No matter how you look at him, he is just a person who just wants to The kind of villain who relies on the power of the Soul-Eating Mask to enjoy glory and wealth for nothing. The reason that drove him to the Kingdom of Saxony is obviously not to immerse himself in development and soar into the sky after being here for a long time.
This is most likely...
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Yalin's mind and he suddenly realized that an artifact like this was no longer just a piece of equipment forged with materials and magic power. The artifact that was imbued with huge power had become spiritually intelligent after being catalyzed by the years. , equipment that has reached this level will usually automatically select its own user, choosing those who are powerful enough to match the spirit as its new holder.
Generally speaking, let alone artifacts, even epic-level weapons will try to choose powerful extraordinary beings as their masters. After all, the stronger the holder, the more powerful the equipment can be. However, the Soul-Eating Mask is a quasi-artifact. Choose a magic apprentice as your master? Maybe the Soul-Eating Mask didn't choose Felician, but the Soul-Eating Mask wanted to do something through Felician, for example!
<...Soul-Eating Mask wants to find his other half through Felicien? >
"The other half?" Luo Jie'an was stunned for a moment and then reacted quickly: "Your Majesty Yalin, you mean that Felicien is also controlled by the Soul-Eating Mask, and the other half of this artifact is in the Kingdom of Saxony Within the territory?”
<It is very possible, but it is impossible to determine whether the other half of the mask is within the Kingdom of Saxony, or whether it is just passing through on the way. >
If Yalin's judgment is correct, then it can be inferred from Felician's route that the other half of the artifact is either in the Kingdom of Saxony or in the Forest of Mist. Of course, it should not be in the western part of the continent over the Arno Mountains, otherwise Felicien should have bought a ticket for the airship instead of going to the Kingdom of Saxony to prepare to cross the mountains.
Princess Luo Jie'an was also extremely surprised. There was actually an artifact in her country, but the Kingdom of Saxony had not obtained any relevant information for so many years. There was not even a legend about a national treasure similar to a mask in mythology.
<Luo Jie’an! >
"Ah~ yes! Please give orders to His Majesty Yalin!" Luo Jie'an came to her senses and bowed slightly.
<Find Felicien, get ahead of the Holy City and the Holy See at all costs, and seize the Soul-Eating Mask from his hand, no matter life or death. >
Luo Jie'an nodded solemnly: "Yes, Your Majesty Yalin!"
Even without Yalin's order, Luo Jie'an would have to seize Felicien as a top priority for the Kingdom of Saxony. Even if Princess Celine cannot be restored to normal by then, she must at least give an explanation to the Kalsemmen Empire!
<I will send a dragon guard to assist you in capturing Felicien, but you should not go out for the time being. Stay in the palace for a while, and try not to come into contact with the personnel of the Holy City and the Holy See, especially Members of the Golden Dragon clan sent by the Holy See. >
"Actually, I don't want to either~" Luo Jie'an couldn't help but smile bitterly. Given her identity, sometimes it's difficult not to want to contact the other party.
And Yalin also has his own considerations. As a giant dragon, he is also an extremely talented golden dragon. The golden dragon named Borzea is very likely to have discovered the secret of Princess Luo Jie'an. Under the influence of his own power, Luo Jie'an The white dragon bloodline in his body has been awakened more thoroughly than any member of the Silver Snow bloodline in the history of the Saxon royal family. It has been greatly strengthened in terms of strength, physique, affinity to the power of frost and the element of water, and even Luo Jie'an herself had a vague aura of the white dragon, and it could be said that she had half-stepped into the realm of the extraordinary overnight. And these changes, especially the faint white dragon aura on Princess Luo Jie'an, probably cannot be hidden from the golden dragon.
However, I am afraid that the Holy See and the Holy Capital have already known about the fact that the members of the Saxony royal family contain the blood of the White Dragon, and both sides do not seem to have much interference in this matter. Perhaps in the eyes of both parties, even if they have a trace of the blood of the White Dragon , but the fact that the members of the Saxon royal family are human beings cannot be changed from beginning to end. After the dragon war ten thousand years ago, many dragon bloodlines were mixed into the mortals. Presumably the golden dragon Borzea will not be there. It would be unfavorable for Luo Jie'an at this time.
But just in case, it is better for Luo Jie'an not to appear too much in front of the Holy See and the Holy Capital during this period. Even if Yalin has signed a real name contract with the Emerald Dragon Queen, the contract is only for The Dragon Queen alone cannot limit the other people in the Holy City and the Dragon Alliance.
It's better to be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years.
