Medical Technician 222 is right.
The Blood Moon Trial is indeed the only chance for death row inmates to trade magic spirits.
Ash looked at the three sorcerers in his hands, and it seemed as if he could still see Valkas's cold and thin face.
The sword that pierced his throat contained five magic spirits that Valkas had just released from their contract.
If he had moved a little slower, if his consciousness had dissipated a little faster, the three spirits would have escaped at their fastest speed. Even though Ash was as fast as he could, two spirits still escaped. It was unknown whether they were riding on the Finger Shark to enjoy the freedom of surfing in the Broken Lake.
As for why Valcas did this, there are too many reasons.
Because Ash defeated him,
Because he wanted to take revenge on Shilling,
Because I am grateful for Ash's hospice care,
It may also be because he just wants to watch the fun and doesn't mind making trouble...
Ash would not be surprised at what a dying elf would do, except that his throat was pierced by Valkas - Ash strongly suspected that he was holding a grudge and wanted to avenge the fact that his throat was cut in the death battle.
But in this way, Valcas posed a difficult problem for Ash.
Although the time he traveled through was not long, Ash was clearly aware that he was out of tune with this world.
However, he had no intention of integrating.
He couldn't change this world of magicians, nor did he intend to let the world of magicians change him.
He has no family here, and all the people he will meet from now on will be strangers.
Although the power of the magician is unpredictable and varied, there may be a miracle that can bring Ash back home, but Ash does not hold out hope for it.
He is not the kind of person who must rely on hope to survive.
Coupled with the life-threatening situation of the Blood Moon Trial and the suffocating absolute control of Broken Lake Prison, Ash has always had the subtle mentality of "live one day at a time and earn one day at a time".
Besides, if he could travel through time once, he might be able to travel through time a second time. This time he came to the magician world, and next time he might be able to go to the technician world. Ash was full of blind optimism about his journey through the heavens.
Because of this optimistic attitude, perhaps because he didn't have to go to work suddenly, Ash had a "bystander" mentality towards everyone he met. He would sympathize with others' experiences and feel sad about their lives, but he would forget about it as soon as he turned around, just like watching a movie.
Viewer, this name actually suits him very well.
Watch without doing, watch without speaking, watch without remembering.
He was like a wandering boat, drifting with the waves and fearing the mainland.
And now, there is an extra baggage on the lonely boat, and a mark appears in the memory.
Although magicians don't need to sleep, Ash felt that he would definitely dream about Valcas' last look in his dreams at midnight.
He certainly didn't think he was responsible for Valcas' death, but Valcas's final gift made Ash feel that he needed to do something for Valcas in return.
He doesn't like others to owe him, nor does he like to owe others.
He must escape from prison, must find Professor Schilling, and must survive.
Otherwise, I would feel like I had let down Valkas' kindness and the three magic spirits he gave me.
Perhaps, this is his true revenge
Using his life as the price, death as the ritual, silence as the spell, and magic spirits as bait, Valkas exhausted everything and cursed Ash to live.
For these Shatter Lake death row inmates, there is no curse more vicious than "staying alive".
"He's a true swordsman."
After listening to Ash's bizarre experience of the Blood Moon Trial tonight, Sonia couldn't help but sigh, and then added: "And he is a generous and good elf."
"He is generous, but definitely not a good elf. He was imprisoned in Broken Lake Prison for his meritorious deeds." Ash said, "But elves and humans cannot be simply divided into 'good' or 'bad'. Only gods or demons have pure good or pure evil... Only humans can waver between the two."
"So many emotions, is this the first time you've seen a dead person since you lost your memory?"
Amnesia? Yes, Heath had caused many deaths himself before... Ash nodded: "It should be said that this is the first time I have seen someone die in front of me."
"So you don't have any information about the Heart Sword Stance?"
"of course not."
"Damn it!" Sonia looked at the Heart Sword Spirit in Ash's hand unwillingly: "Such a good Spirit is wasted in your hands... But in this case, your Kill Me Miracle is only one Spirit away, right?"
"Yes, if we are lucky, we may be able to gather all the necessary magic spirits tonight."
Ash exhaled lightly: "This is the only way to have a slight hope of escaping prison."
The Kill Me Miracle requires a total of three types of magic spirits, and each type of magic spirit has multiple secondary choices, not specific to a particular magic spirit. Most miracles can achieve similar effects by replacing magic spirits of the same type, with the most differences being the power, strength, and range.
If the magic spirit is a building block, then a miracle is a building with a specific appearance. As long as you can build this building, no matter whether the building blocks you use are cubes, triangles, or cones, you have achieved a miracle.
The Heart Sword and the Stand are both magic spirits that meet the requirements. The Stand is considered to be average, while the Heart Sword is an overkill. I guess the person who created the miracle of killing me never thought that someone would be so extravagant as to use one of the 'Five Spirits of the Unparalleled Secret Sword' as a magic spirit.
As long as he finds the last kind of magic spirit, Ash can use the Kill Me Miracle to purify the chip on the back of his neck.
"Prison break..." Sonia murmured, "That is to say, your real body is in the prison of the Blood Moon Kingdom, under the threat of the Blood Moon Judgment, and has no previous memory..."
No memories of the past? Well, he certainly had no memories of the past.
Ash looked at her strangely when he heard this. "Didn't you know this a long time ago? My original body was identified as the leader of the Four Pillars of God cult. I was caught by hunters while holding an illegal gathering in the basement. However, this body is so weak, it must be a scapegoat."
Yes, the viewer had told her before that he was imprisoned in a prison, and she thought it was some hidden prison, but it turned out to be the prison of the Blood Moon Kingdom - although the Blood Moon Kingdom was also a distant term that only existed in books, but at least she had heard of it, which made Sonia feel that it was "nothing special".
"With your strength, you can't even escape from the prison of the Blood Moon Kingdom?"
"What do you mean by with my strength—don't you know I'm a loser?"
"Haha, trash? Trash that can force me to challenge Leonie? Then what am I, a poor creature controlled by trash? A toy that you can trick to death at any time?"
Although she learned the Water Moon Miracle as a blessing in disguise, Sonia was still furious.
It was okay to challenge Felix last time, after all, the gap between Felix and her was not that big, so she still had a little chance of winning. But this time the gap between her and Leoni was simply outrageous. If Leoni hadn't deliberately shown mercy, she would have had no chance to use Mizutsuki at all.
I was lucky this time and met Leonie, but what about next time
What about next time
There were many ruthless and cruel tyrants among the magicians. It was not so bad for young magicians like students, but many older magicians had experienced too much danger and death in the long and lonely exploration of the virtual world, and their consciences had been cut into hideous shapes by the cold wind of the sea of knowledge.
Gradually, they were unable to distinguish the difference between reality and the virtual world, and they would subconsciously attack the enemies without mercy, as if they thought that killing the enemies would reveal the spoils. Some of them even became "fallen demons", treating reality as a virtual world and killing people everywhere.
Although Sonia was very dissatisfied with the forced training, she felt that it was for her own good and could convince herself to accept it. But now the spectator actually asked her to take the initiative to participate in a dangerous battle. Sonia could only convince herself to try not to hit the spectator's head first - because it seemed that she could not win.
"Is it that serious..." Ash tried to gloss over it.
"I was the one who fought to the death, I was the one who got hurt, and I was the one whose life was hanging by a thread. Only I have the right to say whether the severity of the situation is serious or not!" Sonia tried her best to suppress her anger: "Do you have to wait until you see me become a corpse before you sigh, 'I think I made a wrong judgment'?"
It’s not that serious, you won’t die... When Ash was a little disapproving, a thought popped up in his mind: Is it true that Sword Princess won’t die
There are precedents of game characters being defeated and dying in mobile games. If the purpose is to force players to spend money, the company may really load this setting and then sell resurrection coins to tease the players.
Moreover, Sword Lady has stated many times that she does not depend on Ash for existence. She also has her own life, the university she lives in, the friends she knows, and she is a real person... and reality is the term that is farthest away from immortality.
Even if Sword Lady can be resurrected after death in battle, will the resurrected Sword Lady still be the Sword Lady he has known for many days
Ash couldn't afford the risk of losing Sword Princess.
It's not just because of strength.
Moreover, Sword Princess is the only person he can trust and confide in.
No matter how small the boat is, it will feel too empty for one person.
"Okay, what you said makes sense. I apologize." Ash chose his words carefully: "But you should know that I am doing this for your own good. If it wasn't for my arrangement, you wouldn't have created the Water Moon Miracle so quickly, right?"
"What does this have to do with your arrangement—"
"Because I know that when you fight with that Leo, you will enter an awakening state due to the huge gap in strength, and thus create your own miracle, and you will not encounter any danger. Everything is within my plan."
"You even got the other person's name wrong!"
"That's not important - the point is that I'm sure you can get a lot of benefits at a small cost."
Seeing that Sword Princess was still worried, Ash thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if I want to arrange for you to participate in a more dangerous battle in the future, I will discuss it with you in advance, how about that?"
That's about right.
Seeing that the viewer was finally willing to give in, Sonia was already very satisfied. In fact, even if the viewer was determined to mess with her, she would be helpless against him. Moreover, if she gave in the first time, she would give in the second time. Eventually, Sonia would be able to make the viewer completely obedient.
Sonia was also very confident in the viewer's promise. Although the viewer was usually a jerk, he was still reliable in doing things. In addition, with the background of being a legendary reborn, his judgment should be fine.
If Sonia knew that Ash judged the danger by looking at the description of the event card, and that the duel with Leone was only moderately dangerous, she might never feel at ease again.
"Come to think of it, how did you find me?" Sonia suddenly remembered this.
"I will enter the virtual world through the Gate of Truth you left behind, and then find you along the way."
Ash returned to the dormitory and turned on the light curtain, and found that Sword Lady was not waiting for him as expected, and the character status was "exploring the virtual world".
Yaxu originally thought that he had missed this train, but fortunately there was an option to 'join midway', but he did not descend directly to Sword Lady's side, but appeared at the initial location where Sword Lady entered the virtual world tonight.
To enter and exit the Void Realm, one must pass through the Gate of Truth. This is the rule. If it weren't for the bond, Ash wouldn't have been able to enter the Void Realm through the Gate of Truth left by Sword Princess.
Sonia was not surprised that the viewer knew where she was. She just had one question: "But I have been swimming in the virtual world for almost two hours. How did you get here so quickly?"
"Two hours? But you are only one zone away from the starting point. I found you in just over a minute."
"How can it be!?"
"Why would I lie to you? Wait, you said you swam for two hours. Did you... just wander around here the whole time?"
Sonia blinked, sat down calmly, looked sideways at the white mist in the distance, and said, "I just thought you wouldn't be absent for no reason, so I've been exploring nearby."
If you hadn't blushed so much, I would have believed you.
Ash chuckled and opened the virtual map under Sonia's resentful gaze.
Because he was equipped with the virtual telescope, he could now observe information in the surrounding 24-square area. Most of the information was "a waste of effort", but there was one that was "worth a visit". Ash was not in a hurry and just sailed slowly and strolled around.
"What about the miracle you just performed?" Sonia suddenly remembered this. "Valkas gave you the magic spirit, but he didn't give you the miracle spell?"
Ash casually said, "I saw him use it once before. He used a combination of Earth Sword and Wind Wall to create it. But I'm not a two-wing magician, so my defense is far inferior to the original one he used."
Look at it once, combine it, and you get it
Is this miracle so simple
The Earth Sword is a sword technique, and the Wind Wall is a wind technique. Cross-faction miracles have always been difficult...
Sonia felt something was wrong, and at this time Ash found a glittering golden legend hint on the map - "Whirlpool".
"Do you know what a vortex is?"
Sonia was startled: "Did you find the vortex?"
"Probably-"
"Go, go quickly!" Sonia rushed over and grabbed Ash and shook him wildly. She was as excited as if she had found a lottery ticket in the toilet and found that it was the first prize. "If we are lucky, maybe we can condense the silver wings tonight!"
