Chapter 32 Malik's Shadow (8)
It was already noon when he returned to the ground. Link asked Jafar to take the five druids back to the tavern first, and he returned to the guardian land alone to report the results to Hull.
The fire in the lord's residence has been basically put out, but there is still a small amount of remaining fire. Even if you stand in the outer city, you can see the black smoke coming from the castle. The lord's rebellion and killing relatives has not been exposed. People are talking about the cause of the strange fire on the streets and alleys.
It was almost near the city gate that Link realized that the demon spirit of fate had disappeared. Before entering the underground waterway, he was sure that the demon spirit was still sticking to the boots.
I took off my boots and looked around, but it was really gone.
Link summoned the inheritance, and there was no change in the surface or the inner part.
Strangely, I didn't clearly feel the absorption of the demon spirit... Hum? Damn!
I don’t know if I don’t look at it, I’m shocked when I see it.
I accidentally glanced at the attribute bar and actually upgraded, and I was upgraded to four levels in a row!
Surprised and suspicious, Link quickly walked out of the city until he walked far enough and confirmed that no one was following him before he entered the bushes next to the road and continued to look through the heritage.
That's right, the Lord's Talented Son of Nature does write LV8!
What's going on? Killing a non-dead Sherman will increase so much experience? It's unscientific...
After thinking about it, Link thought of the disappearing demon spirit of fate. Could that person also increase his experience? The first two times were only a little bit, so he didn't feel anything. This time there were a lot of numbers, so he rose. No! Even if he could upgrade, why did he get so much?
Link sat on the grass and couldn't figure out why he was promoted to level four consecutively.
Click on the skill page, there are seven blank rings in the spell position, one missing? Isol has not added it. When I turned to Gasos's page, there was a top skill on the background of the flying eagle - [Divine Knowledge]. The skill annotation is irrelevant, and you can predict the past and the future.
Link instantly thought of Isol's [Divine Revelation]. This is the same special skill. Judging from the explanation, it should be a kind of ability to predict, etc.! Prediction... Prediction...
He thought of the strange phenomenon that happened after using the divine enlightenment - he "sees" the scenes of Sherman's contact with Shuanghan. It was not divine enlightenment at all, but divine knowledge!
The gods are omnipotent and omniscient, which is unanimously promoted in all myths.
Link felt that he had a great fortune. First, he absorbed the demon spirit of fate for some reason. It happened that he had upgraded to have more magic positions. When using the divine enlightenment, he wanted to get more revelation, so the gods told him how to break the cause and effect of Shuanghan's death.
Faced with the dense skill table, Link decided not to choose skills for the time being, and would rather go back to the guardian land to listen to Hull's advice first. Birdman has a bad temper, but after all, he is still an expert in this field.
The straight line between Aiden and Guardian Land is not far away, and it only took about an hour to fly at the peregrine falcon.
Link told all the causes and consequences of the matter. He was afraid that the Birdman would feel that he was taking his own actions. He emphasized that he had received a prompt from the divine enlightenment that he did not take Sherman and let Chenxi steal the credit.
"It's enough." Unexpectedly, Hull didn't get angry, but instead praised Link for his excellent completion of the task he delivered.
Completed? When? Link was confused. He felt nothing and had no prompts.
"What do you think the contract is? The words written on paper?" Hull pointed at Link's forehead with his finger, "That is the divine power engraved in the bloodline. As long as there are still people in their clan, the contract will continue. As a divine messenger, as long as you confirm that Sherman violates the oath, you can unilaterally terminate the contract."
"In other words... the contract has been terminated now?" Link was dizzy by the successive surprises. Since the gods could convey it to me, it means they already knew it, so why not cancel it by themselves?
"Didn't Isol tell you in person last time that gods must not interfere with the material world? I'll forget it all so quickly."
Not that you can't interfere, you have done a lot, such as sending oracles to believers, revelations, etc., but you just don't interfere directly. While complaining in your heart, Link took out the badge made by Misilan.
"Why do you give me this thing? It's simply a tracker. Why do spiders who have left the Nature Alliance choose a god in a chaotic camp? And the Nature Alliance, which is the Order camp, still needs to keep in touch with this organization? Also, what is the law of cause and effect?"
Link asked a bunch of questions in one breath, and the Birdman glared at him: "Which of the hell do you want me to answer?"
"Well~ Let's take the badge first."
"This is the spell used by the early Sons of Nature to monitor spiders. After leaving the alliance, they in turn use surveillance to track subordinates. The purpose of giving you badges is to be alert to spies with all-in-the-hole spiders. The most important thing is that the badge itself can hide divine power and make you look more like a normal person."
Link is dumbfounded, "I don't know that there is also a function of obstructing breath..."
"Didn't Jafar say?" Hull touched his forehead, "Okay, it's my fault. I haven't taught you how to use magic props correctly. Take the stuff."
Link obediently handed over the spider-web-shaped badge.
"Inject your power into it."
"Well……"
"Not it? Just like using Natural Healing and Reply, release divine power onto the badge." Hull said with a look that I knew you wouldn't know, "Of course, it's OK to use blood, but I don't recommend you to do that."
Following the instructions of the birdman, Link finally injected his own energy into the badge. The Misilver flashed, and the dazzling silver disappeared, becoming the same as the one Hawk held. After putting it on, it turned out to be as Hull said, and the faint divine power emitted from the inside out disappeared.
"This is so troublesome and has time-efficient, right? It's not more convenient to use blood, why not allow it?"
"Because once you accidentally lose it, you can use blood to find out your identity and origin, including the blood of your life weaver. Don't underestimate the prophecy. If there is a master who is proficient in the law of cause and effect, you can even directly curse and kill you through the badge that has been painted with blood." Hull frowned and taught Link a lesson.
It's so serious... No wonder I don't want to use it, but the law of cause and effect is really convenient. It seems that there is no need to waste the spell position. Link asked Hull how to use it.
The birdman was silent for a long time, "That is not a power that ordinary things can control. Foresight, time, destiny, and these are the realms of gods. The weaker the power, the less coveted the creature. It not only has a backlash, but also must be paid as a prerequisite. It is precisely because the law of cause and effect is too convenient and powerful. Once used, it will not help but use it again and again, and eventually overdraw its life."
Life? Link suddenly realized. No wonder Sherman aged so quickly, it turned out that he used the law of cause and effect.
Hull advised Link not to think about the law of cause and effect, and with his current strength, he would not even think about it.
When mortal lives, including humans, use the power of causality, which exceeds their own abilities, they must use something related to themselves as the price to start. The greater the connection and the deeper the connection, the higher the success rate of causality and the greater the scope of application. The better the clergy, you can directly pay the divine power as the price, without overdrawing your life like a mage.
Link talks about the cause and effect of Shuanghan's destiny can kill all Edgar's living creatures, so why do you have to use such a big cause and effect?
Hull's face changed drastically, and he grabbed his wrist suddenly, "Did you see it with Shenzhi?"
Link nodded, Hull let go of his hand and paced back and forth with an anxious look.
"I didn't expect it to notice so quickly, damn bone rack..."
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Link was a little embarrassed to speak, and he kept asking why from beginning to end.
"Night Elf...Sheerman...Dawn..." Hull murmured to himself, and he even asked Link again, is the executioner who killed Sherman really the one who killed her?
"Yes, God Revelation will not show the conversation between the night elf and me for no reason. I felt something was wrong, so I exchanged the Temple of the End and gave Sherman to Chenxi." Seeing Hull's solemn expression, Link became nervous.
"I'm afraid that Shuanghan will suffer from dual causality this time."
Can cause and effect overlap? Link felt ache in his mind. He didn't even understand the relationship between cause and effect, and then he broke out with a double cause and effect.
"Shuanghan can rise up and suppress the Alliance of Nature in a short period of time, but it depends not only on the immortal body that cannot destroy the life box. He is the most outstanding master of causal law in hundreds of years. Moreover, it is very likely that he has realized that you are a life weaver from another world like him."
Hull's words made Link tremble all over. He did see the demon spirit of fate extended from the corpse witch possessed by Shuang Han. Only those related to each other's fate can see the silk thread of the other's fate. Maybe Shuang Han also saw it. If it already knew that I was a life weaver, why didn't I kill me on the spot? Why did you say that you were looking forward to fighting me face to face? This doesn't make sense.
Not only Link couldn't figure it out, but Hull couldn't figure it out either.
"Maybe...you have some intersection with his fate, but his fate is not directly related to you."
Link was almost fainted by Hull, what's yours and mine.
"Let's say it another way." Hull also knew that he didn't understand his words, "Let's use the person you know as an example. You are the current son of nature of the Pillar of Earth, Eris is the ex, and there is also a Befest before him. Your inheritance is orderly, but there is no direct relationship between you and Befest. Because you are a life weaver from another world, an outsider who has nothing to do with Edgar's original fate. Do you understand my metaphor?"
Link nodded. Although he said it was vague, he roughly understood.
"You and Shuanghan are both fate weavers from another world. I don't know if you belong to the same plane. I'll make an assumption. If you are people from the same world, you may even live in the same country and city. Whether you or him, there is no connection before you come to Edgar. This is the relationship between you. The two lines with no intersection, and no matter how they extend, there will be no overlap. Now, for some reasons, your destiny has changed and overlapped..."
Link opened his mouth wide, he understood! He figured it out!
The Destiny Spirit, the Missing Su Wen, the Assassin's Guild, Malik's Holy Relics, and Frost Han, these are closely related, why didn't he expect it?
"What have you figured out?" Hull asked unhappily, and Link would better convince him of his explanation.
"I know why Shuanghan faces me but can't recognize me as a lifeweaver!" He took off his old leather boots, "Because of this!"
Malik's holy object? In the hands of non-believers, it was nothing more than a pair of torn boots. Hull frowned and waited for Link to continue explaining.
"Do you remember I told you that I came to Edgar accidentally because of my sister's boyfriend, no fiancé?"
Hull nodded, of course he remembered, but what does this have to do with the holy relics of Shuanghan and Malik?
"I have something very important to hide from you. The former owner of this holy object is my friend, Rhode, the Southern Border Demon Hunter who was killed by thunder decades ago."
Hull's face was almost twisted, "What did you say, Rhodes is your friend?"
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'll tell you now. I only learned the truth after meeting Rhode's younger brother in River Valley Town."
"Speak!" Hull knew that Link was not nonsense, and the killing of the Demon Hunter was top secret, and all insiders swear to keep it confidential and not leak it. Rhodes is also a lifeweaver. It is precisely because of this that he can quickly improve after leaving the Chaos camp and be selected as the Demon Hunter by the God of the Forest.
Link thought about it, reorganized the language, slightly modified what happened ten years ago, and subtracted the elements of the game. He only said that Rhodes discovered a way to enter another world, and invited him to go with him. He did not receive Rhodes' letters for some private reasons. When he heard his friend's whereabouts, he realized that he was dead in another world.
"In other words, you came to Edgar because of your sister's fiancé..." Hull also clarified this complicated relationship. Link and Shuanghan themselves did not have any intersection. Before they were transformed into lichs, the mage Lena was a ring ally of Rhodes. Now, Link picked up the holy object that Rhodes used when he was a believer under Malik. Lena killed Rhodes, and Rhodes and Links were friends. The fates of the three of them were immediately connected. It turned out that this was the reason why Isol chose Link as the son of nature, not only because they came from the same side, but also because their fates were entangled.
Shuanghan must not know this. Fortunately, he had only seen Link's incarnation of Isol and had never seen his human form. As long as it is kept strictly confidential... it is not right! Malik! Damn, why didn't I think of this!
Hull never regretted so much for a moment, and he actually sent Link into danger with his own hands.
The spider web, the largest intelligence network in the entire continent, is the god of shadow Malik, an ally of the god of death.
Hawk knew Link's identity and his appearance, and his name was no longer a secret. Frost Han put a double cause and effect on Link. He deliberately used Sherman as bait and even gave the method of death cause and effect to prove that Link is the fate weaver, and its subsequent move is the next cause and effect that can kill the fate weaver. Taking Sherman's death as an opportunity, he sets up a law of cause and effect that can kill non-Edgar's lives.
If this vicious scheming was not for the warning from the gods, I was afraid Link would have been killed by it long ago...
Hull grabbed the spider web emblem that Link wore on his neck, and his hand crackled, and lightning turned Mithril into a pool of flowing metal liquid.
He was frightened by what Hull saw, and Link didn't understand why this birdman was crazy.
PS: There are a little more dialogues in this chapter, and there is no way to explain some mysteries. Finally, I can change the title of the chapter...
Chapter completed!
