Until Claude came out to bow to Vivienne, Hao Ren didn't react.
In fact, Vivian herself didn't react.
Except for Claude and Mimir, everyone's three views basically collapsed into scum!
Hao Ren couldn't figure out that things would develop like this. After going around Mimir's memories, he realized that the person in front of him who was poor every day and couldn't get rid of the pot, the greatest happiness in life was to have enough to eat. The ancestors of the vampires who wandered around in a daze had a close relationship with the demon hunters far beyond imagination. They were supposed to be mortal enemies, but in ancient times...
The poor ghost is revered as the fourteenth saint of the witcher!
A vampire, the fourteenth saint of the witcher! Because it is very important, it must be emphasized again.
She is the "cross-clan friend" of the thirteen saints, a senior expert of the demon hunter when he was still weak, and even the "Corpus" alien space that the demon hunter regards as their base camp now is Vivienne. Gift for them!
However, Vivienne had completely forgotten all of this, and even the witcher himself seemed to have forgotten all about it. This was what Hao Ren couldn't understand the most. It's okay to say the former, after all, everyone knows Vivienne's mind, but how does the witcher explain it? Although almost all the old guys from the ancient times were dead, it wouldn't be the case that none of them were left, right? Even if there is really no one left, it's not like there's not even a word left, right? After all, he is also the "fourteenth sage" of his own race. Could it be that there is not even a single record left
Hao Ren can think of this, and of course other people can think of it, even Lily has a serious face—but the biggest characteristic of the husky race is that their faces are serious all the time, so it is difficult for us to judge whether this girl is doing something right now. My mind is still thinking about the problem. Anyway, Y'zaks spoke: "What happened later? How did this situation come about?"
Mimir's voice continued to ring in everyone's minds, and this time it was obviously explaining specifically to Vivian: "Old friend, that happened more than six thousand years ago, you don't remember it anymore, in fact, even I originally I don't know these things, I only learned about these things after I was brought here and had contact with twelve 'sages' for a long time. So some things may be different. As far as I know, you are indeed Cole The first discoverer of Perth. I didn’t even know you at that time. You led those wandering demon hunters to find a place where they could live safely. Although compared with other territories in different spaces, Corpus There's no 'land' in the usual sense, but it's perfect for a solid and safe base camp. The witchers quickly made this space their home and, as you might imagine - began exploring Corpus That endless ancient secret.
"Corpus has brought them great benefits. Before this, demon hunters were just a relatively weak race. After getting Corpus, they began to have a stable place to study their power, and began to be able to Cultivate and train stronger tribal fighters, and more importantly, they began to unearth various powerful heritages in this different space.
"Although most of the finds are elusive and unusable, simply extracting energy from the relics in the form of primitive crude benzene is enough to make the witcher powerful. In this way, everything looks good .
"Until they find something in a temple that shouldn't be touched."
Hao Ren blurted out: "That sword?!"
"That's right, that sword." Mimir lowered his eyes, "The fourteen leaders of the demon hunters, including Vivienne, found that sword together. It was randomly discarded in a corner of a temple. Weird The material and appearance immediately caught their attention. Although it looks ordinary, this sword seems to have magical power to attract the fourteen saints together. After some debate, the fourteen saints' treatment of the sword Opinions were divided.
"Vivian is very cautious, so she thinks that this unknown weapon should be sealed up.
"The thirteen saints feel that this sword will bring more powerful power to the demon hunters, just like other heritages in the ruins.
"In the end, Bedolis' intuitive premonition played a decisive role: he saw a prosperous future for witchers in a vision, and this was caused by the power of the dark sword. So what happened next is logical: the first The opinions of the fourteen saints were rejected, and the thirteen saints held a ceremony to extract power from the sword of darkness."
Bai Huo stared at this, and gasped when he heard this: "Did the same thing happen this time?"
The corner of Mimir's mouth drooped: "No, it's worse. In the case of the second plague of madness, only the Presbyterian Order and the Saint Order remained in Corpus. Most of the demon hunters have already spread out. In the whole world, only a part of them are infected. You still have battles to fight after you get here, and the number of witchers during the first madness was far less than it is now, and the gate seal of Corpus is far less It is so strict now. In the first frenzied disaster, almost all the demon hunters were concentrated in a different space, and the moment the ritual was performed, the entire race was affected."
"Where was I at that time?" Vivian asked aloud.
"You left Corpus at that time," Mimir raised his eyes, "you were very angry, so you left, but then you were worried, so you came back to check—and found that something big happened."
"How did you solve it later?" Vivienne frowned, "Can I handle it by myself?"
"It is indeed you alone," Mimir replied affirmatively, "According to the memory I read from the brainwaves of the twelve saints, you had a secret path that could directly sneak into the clock tower of the spiritual world at that time—this is normal After all, you were the first to discover this space. When all the demon hunters were affected by the disaster of madness and completely lost control and turned into a mess, you took advantage of the chaos to enter the ceremony hall and interrupted the thirteen saints. Ritual. The shock of the interruption of the Ritual breaks them down, so you fight them all on your own, and after days of fighting, they finally come to their senses—roughly sober.
"During the fierce battle, the head of the demon hunters, the first saint, was directly irradiated by the red moon. Her soul was almost completely torn apart, her vitality was exhausted, and she died a few years later."
Mimir took a break here to give everyone a time to think about it. Vivienne broke the silence after a few seconds: "So the first saint actually died by my hands... Then what happened after that? Hunting is How did it start? Why don’t the current demon hunters know about the ‘Fourteen Saints’ at all?”
"The Calamity of Madness is over, but it has completely changed the race of demon hunters," Mimir sighed, "You all know that all races on this planet have hostile instincts against each other, and the Calamity of Madness is extremely strong. Greatly magnified the dark side of the demon hunters. They originally pursued conservatism and prudence, but after the disaster, everyone’s minds were cleaned, and most people’s memories were confused and their way of thinking was subverted. Anger, although the vendetta between the same race is over, but their anger has all been transferred to the other race. In this way, the hunt began."
This is the truth about the witchers declaring war on all supernatural races in the world—their innate hostility to aliens has been multiplied!
Hao Ren suddenly thought of the fighters of the Elder Order who had been caught before—those fighters were caught in the frenzy of "purifying heresy" and couldn't extricate themselves. butcher knife. Six thousand years ago, before the demon hunters started their first hunt, Corpus also had such a "big pollution". That pollution was stopped by Vivienne on her own, but her stop was not perfect: the reverberation of the sword of killing gods still transformed the way of thinking of demon hunters, making their innate hostile instincts with other aliens "Evolution" has become a hunting instinct, and what is more deadly is to instill an idea in them:
Heresy must be purged.
Thus, in the name of purifying heresy, the hunt began.
"Their memories have also been cleaned, right?" Vivian frowned, "Otherwise, it's impossible for them not to know about me..."
"This is the weirdest part of the whole incident: their memories have not been completely cleaned, in fact they have been erased... only the part about your memory," Mimir stared at Vivienne, "There is a complex curse Arrived at this place: Most ordinary demon hunters have completely forgotten about Vivienne Ansesta. The saints have survived the memory cleansing with their strength, and they still have memories about you deep in their consciousness, but But they cannot mention your name and related deeds. Some of the oldest books in this tower still contain information from your time as the Fourteenth Saint, but no one can read them. From the first plague of madness There are also a few of the surviving witchers who still vaguely remember what happened back then, but they all died in accidents trying to say your name. Later, the twelve saints realized one thing: it is not the witcher who is cursed people, but the name Vivienne Ansesta.
"You were erased from the demon hunter's memory, from the time you first met their leader to the outbreak of the madness, everything about you during this time period was shrouded by dark forces. "
"... that sword failed to kill me back then, so it killed my name..." Vivienne was dumbfounded, and muttered to herself, "Sure enough, that thing was specifically aimed at the Goddess of Creation..." (To be completed continued~^~)
