Destiny is indeed awe-inspiring because of its elusiveness.
The demon hunter, whose mission is to hunt aliens, has a vampire "saint", who is now regarded as a scourge by various supernatural races. They were once a conservative and cautious group. A god-killing sword made the demon hunter's hostile instincts Transformed into a more powerful hunting instinct and semi-permanently changed their way of thinking, Corpus brought them peace and prosperity, but it was also a cage that imprisoned them for six thousand years...
But the one who knows all these secrets is the original guardian giant, Mimir.
"The hostile instinct between the various races is not terrible. It will only make the races fight together. This is a blind and chaotic force of hatred, without logic or purpose. consumption, but just like the food chain in nature, it will not really completely destroy the entire heterogeneous race," Mimir lamented his insights over the past ten thousand years when everyone was thinking, as a former guardian giant, even in When crossing the wall of reality, he was also affected by the original sin of divine blood and lost his memory. He also maintained a stronger sense and wisdom than other races. Therefore, he can see through many things during this long time, "Demon hunter... The most terrifying thing that happened to them was that the sword of darkness transformed their hunting instincts, turning an originally illogical and chaotic impulse into a mission with a clear goal, and made all demon hunters feel the need for this I firmly believe in the 'noble mission'. Superficial mind control is not terrible, what is terrible is this change in world view and way of thinking. Demon hunters with clear goals and powerful powers become irresistible... "
"The first disaster of madness... It seems that I stopped it in the end, but in fact the harm it caused has spread," Vivian said in a dull voice, "and it also 'killed' my name , completely erased my existence from the group of demon hunters... "
"But now you can say these things," Hao Ren looked at Mimir and suddenly realized, "That means... this 'restriction' has expired?!"
"You have finally put an end to the plague of madness." Mimir blinked his eyelids to express his affirmation, "Its influence has faded. I can feel that the dark power that has enveloped this space for thousands of years has been swept away. It is a pity that The Twelve Saints are dead, and the demon hunters who knew about it in the past are basically gone, this ancient story can only be told to you by me, an 'outsider'."
Hao Ren frowned and pondered. Mimir's story sounds reasonable, but there are still many problems that people can't figure out. He touched his chin: "Although the twelve saints couldn't name Vivienne, they still know her, right... Then she has fought with the demon hunter every now and then for thousands of years. Why don't the saints stop her?" What about you? At least give me some special care, right..."
"I thought about it, and it seems that there are quite a lot of special care." Vivienne laughed a little embarrassedly, "Witch hunters have never taken the initiative to trouble me. In fact, they have been Walking around me... Now that I think about it, I was there when Mount Olympus collapsed, I was there when Ugudora Hill was disintegrated, and I was away when Horus was blown down by three big fireballs. It was closer, but in the end no one bothered me."
"That's right. Saints can't tell your story, but they can remind young witchers not to trouble you." Mimir seemed to smile, "Although this has limited effect. But you The number of attacks is always less than other aliens."
"Okay, this part is over, let's talk about the 'disaster of madness' you are talking about," Vivienne waved her hand, "From your previous tone, you already know about killing gods... The Dark Sword will go out of control again ? You even knew I was coming?"
"This is what you left behind," Mimir said in a helpless voice, "after you stopped the ceremony and barely recovered the saints, before the 'curse' of the sword took effect. You had the last negotiation with the saints .You know that the power of that sword has dissipated, and I am afraid it will not dissipate in the next few thousand years. And you can't completely destroy that evil weapon, so you decided to seal the dark sword and wait until its power has If it is weakened, you can try to destroy it—or continue to seal it. But Bedolis foretells a dark future: he finds that the sword will inevitably go out of control, and will eventually completely swallow the minds of all saints. Bedolis's The ability to predict is limited, he can only see some fragmented fragments, but there is no way to change it.
"In the end, the saints who have put life and death aside decided to accept this future, but in order to leave a glimmer of hope and at the same time out of confidence in your own strength, you left a memory crystal to Bedolis and said that you will One day, I will come back to clean up the mess. Even if you lose your memory in the future, as long as you see the blood spar again, you will come to complete your unfinished work."
Vivian thought for a while: "And this also bypasses the curse of the sword. Even if the saints can't tell the truth, they can still get their subordinates to hand over the blood spar to me—but they can't It’s just an explanation to your compatriots why you did it.”
Mimir lowered her eyes: "That's all."
"Wait a minute, I have a question!" Lily suddenly jumped out with her hands raised, "Since the Twelve Saints know that the Dark Sword is an evil thing, why did they hold this ceremony! die?"
"They underestimated the mental corruption of the sword of darkness," Mimir sighed, "for thousands of years, the voice of that sword has been whispering in the minds of all witchers, in a way that they themselves cannot perceive Affects the minds of the guards. Without knowing it, the twelve saints have been corrupted, and even I have not escaped its influence. This is the truth that Bedolius failed to see in the vision: the dark side Swords do get out of hand, but they let them out."
Hao Ren finally fully understood.
All the unreasonable actions of the demon hunters, the dull and passive coping methods of the Twelve Saints who knew the truth back then, and the reason why they let the "hunting" behavior be a suspicious impulse but let it go, suddenly had an explanation .
Even a guardian giant like Mimir couldn't resist the whispers of the Godslayer Sword—even, he couldn't detect these whispers at all.
But fortunately, when the Dark Sword was truly sealed, at least Mimir woke up, and he was able to tell everyone the truth.
Mimir was brought to the Clock Tower after Ragnarok—thousands of years had passed since the first Scourge, but through the special spiritual power of the Guardian Giant, he was brought from the brain of the Twelve Saints. unearthed these truths.
"It's difficult to do something under the influence of those whispers, but we also fought as much as we could," Mimir smiled faintly, "We can't break the shackles of thinking, but we can Make some arrangements within this rule. Bedolius sent the blood spar, others did their best to prevent the most corrupted elder order from leaving Corpus, and I, with the help of memory inheritance rituals, cultivated Out of Claude—as messenger and spokesperson at critical moments."
Mimir's story is finally over here, and he leaves the rest of the time for Vivienne and Vivienne's friends to slowly sort out and digest these unbelievable truths.
"Do you think these stories are true?" After a long time, Hao Ren approached Vivian and asked in a low voice.
"There's no way to prove it's false," Vivienne shook her head with a wry smile, "All the incidents correspond to each other, and there are reasonable reasons for suspicious places. Of course, there are still many unexplained details in the whole story. But 6,000 years of time and the corruption of the insider's mind by the Godslayer Sword can explain everything. Overall... I'm inclined to believe this."
"But I dare not think that you did such a big thing back then." Hao Ren couldn't help looking at Vivian with strange eyes. Although he knew that the latter had lived for ten thousand years, he didn't think about it. Vivienne, who used to be peaceful by nature, has such an earth-shattering past.
"Are you going to do something big..." Vivienne's voice was a little fluttering, "I feel a little scared. After six thousand years of sinking, my strength has declined too much, and losing my memory is even more of a big problem. If I don't happen to be with you this time Together, if I was reckless and attracted to Corpus by the blood spar... the consequences would be disastrous."
Hao Ren gave her a sideways look: "Then you still took such a big order back then."
"Didn't I feel that I had a great advantage back then?" Vivian was a little embarrassed, "And according to the amnesia situation, I thought I should be preparing for a new round of deep sleep at that time. You know, it is easier for me to sleep before I go to bed. Excited..."
Hao Ren: "..."
After being silent for a while, Mimir saw that everyone was sorting out, and he suddenly broke the silence: "The documents and records about the fourteenth sage, as well as the early historical materials of the excavation of the Corpus ruins, are all kept behind me. in my room. Old friend, I think you must be very interested in them." (To be continued~^~)
