Chapter 864

The land of all souls.

In this gray world, the majestic iron bridge with dark color is the most conspicuous landscape. On both sides of the bridge, a huge iron statue stands at a distance from each other. They are all upright sculptures in the same human form, 60 meters high, dressed in hooded robes, without revealing their faces. There are two groups of pale flames jumping in their eyes. At the same time, they reflect the two opposite artistic conception of silence and eternity and gorgeous brilliance. They are like the God of death judging the dead and the lighthouse guiding the soul.

On the bridge, an Assyrian teenager walked rigidly towards the other end of the bridge under the silent overlooking of the statue. His expression was numb, his eyes were empty, and his naked chest was painted with blue paint, which represented the identity of the sacrifice. Around him, many Assyrians in different costumes stumbled in the same direction.

Bertina flapped her butterfly wings and flew over the bridge. She shouted, "turn around, turn around, and you'll die if you go further!"

The Assyrians went on as if they hadn't heard of it. In a hurry, bertina simply swooped down and dragged the young Assyrian with a green face. Her strength was great, and the boy with empty eyes was dragged back, but more Assyrians were moving forward unswervingly.

As they approached the other side of the bridge, their colors faded and became gray, just like the surrounding environment, and finally turned into dust and dissipated in the ceaseless air flow.

Bertina let go of the Assyrian boy and turned to save others, but the Assyrian boy stepped on the iron bridge again.

"It's no use. They're dead."

The queen ant man stood at the end of the iron bridge and watched bertina repeat her futile work. She only felt funny and funny. She couldn't help but say, "bell, it's better to build that magic model because she wastes her time on meaningless things. I can feel that you don't have much time left..."

With a cry, bertina flew to stop in front of the ant queen and said angrily, "if you tell them to stop, I'll learn the magic model."

The queen ant man raised her flawless white forelimbs, gently touched the ground, shook her head and said, "I can't do it."

Bell flew around the queen and asked excitedly, "why can't you do it? Aren't you the owner of the spirit eating island? Can't you transform these poor souls?"

The queen ant man sighed helplessly and explained again: "I've told you many times that no one can transcend the world law. This iron bridge is the embodiment of the world law and the law that simulates the return of the soul to the void. The soul begins in the void and returns to the void. The so-called void refers to the fire element sea. After a person dies, the will side dissipates first, and the soul fire gradually goes out. This is just a superficial understanding. In fact, the soul fire is not extinguished , when the will side dissipates, the soul fire loses its restraint and begins to escape, showing the essence of its void fire element. Scattered soul fire will form fragile ghosts if it encounters some will fragments. Therefore, Assyrian witch doctors can see the existence of spirits. Whether ancestors, animal spirits or natural spirits, they are called ghosts according to your human terms. The will brand of powerful creatures is very strong They are solid and not easy to disintegrate. Their ghosts last for a long time, but ghosts are ghosts and souls are souls. They are not the same thing. Just like the ghost of elder bear monster captured by you, the ghost is shaped into a powerful guardian... "

"It's called a sugar jar!" Cried bertina.

The queen ant man followed Bell's meaning and said, "well... The sugar pot is not the original bear monster elder. The original bear monster elder is dead. You have completed its will side according to your own preferences and cognition before you have the guardian spirit sugar pot."

"Ah? I was so powerful." Bertina raised her delicate and lovely little round face, put her hands in her waist and said triumphantly.

"The soul cannot last forever. The soul fire will eventually return to the fire element sea." The queen ant man continued: "you are the chosen one. Witchcraft talent is related to the law of the soul. Shaping the guardian spirit is as simple and natural as breathing the air, but you don't understand the principle of the law. The sugar pot can't escape the fate of extinction. It can exist only by the realm of all souls to provide it with spirit, and the spirit is pure soul fire, which comes from these Assyrian souls."

"This iron bridge erases the will side of the Assyrian soul, stripping away their memory, emotion and cognition, leaving only pure soul fire. The passage of the Assyrian soul through the bridge is like the process of the soul returning to the origin of the world, and the spirit eating Island symbolizes the fire element sea, representing the destination of soul fire." The ant queen Chunchun taught, "we can't go beyond the limits of the world's laws. We can only comply with the laws and borrow the power of the laws. Just like water always flows to the lower place, no matter how high you sprinkle the water, it will still fall. So do these Assyrian souls..."

The queen raised her left hand to an Assyrian soul near the spirit eating Island, turned it into a pale flame, pulled it out of thin air, and said, "the only thing I can do is to collect the soul fire and shape them into the soul of the ant tribe according to the unalterable rules."

The pale soul fire burned and danced at the finger tips of the queen ant man, gradually narrowed and turned red. The queen ant man waved out the soul fire in her hand, turned it into dust and landed on the ground of the spirit eating island, "Now, shaping the soul of the ant tribe is an unbearable burden for me, and it doesn't mean anything to the poor Assyrian soul. Bell, my student, if you pity these souls, destroy this iron bridge representing the return of the soul."

"Can this save them?" Bell blinked his big clear eyes and asked expectantly.

"No." The ant queen gave a negative answer and said, "but you can get rid of the bondage of the realm of all souls, return to the real world and stop the Assyrian war."

The queen ant man looked at the Assyrian soul on the iron bridge, wrinkled her forehead and said: "In a normal blood sacrifice, the soul of the sacrifice will only fall beside the pale Lord and be transformed and absorbed by him... It is no different from going to the spirit eating island. However, during this period, the Assyrian soul continues to appear near the iron bridge, indicating that the Assyrians are experiencing a cruel war. If someone dies outside, there will be souls here. Thousands of Assyrian souls are attracted by the spirit eating Island, which is even more important I'm afraid many souls have been swallowed up by the pale Lord. "

Bertina waved her white and tender fist and said angrily, "the pale Lord is a big villain! I've long wanted to go out..." then she flapped her wings, flew to the queen ant, and asked with concern, "Angelina, what do you do? After I left, no one spoke to you, would you be afraid?"

The queen ant man, who has lived for more than 20000 years, is like a bottomless abyss. Bertina's warm care is like a stone thrown into the abyss, which can't arouse any echo. But he still smiles and says: "Little fellow, don't you pity the Assyrian soul and me? Don't worry, I'm used to loneliness... Just the last iron bridge breaks, and the source of power to maintain the spirit eating island is also broken. I will fall eventually, but that will be thousands of years later... Bertina, I must remind you that the pale Lord is very lonely due to the outbreak of war among Assyrians He will soon fall into eternal sleep. According to the rules of eternal sleep of the Holy Spirit, he will impose your will that does not belong to you on your soul, which contains precious ancestral spirit inheritance and a distortion and reconstruction of you. Are you willing to accept the distortion of your soul by the pale Lord? "

"I hate Zuling. They are so ugly. I don't want to be like them." Bertina quickly shook her head, wrinkled her nose and said with a disgusting face.

The queen ant man nodded with satisfaction and said: "The soul is ugly because of pollution. We should avoid such things from happening to ourselves. However, it's up to you... As long as you are in the realm of all souls, the inheritance will of the pale Lord will certainly affect your soul. However, I have an advanced spell model that can help you accept inheritance without pollution. Its name is very simple. It's called 'spirit shell', but the name of the spell model is The content is very complex, and it will take several days to master your talent... "

Just then, across the bridge came the low roar of the pale Lord, which seemed to come from the bottom of people's heart. Bertina couldn't help shivering.

The queen ant man glanced at the other side of the bridge, immediately took back her eyes and said to bell, "the pale Lord is going to sleep forever. Do you want to learn the 'spirit shell' model?"

Bertina was obviously frightened by the roar of the pale Lord. She shouted, "I'll learn!"

***************************

In the upper main room of the temple, ferocious and poisonous cannibal vines bloom the most beautiful flowers and bear the sweetest fruits. Hundreds of lovely and clever flower goblins dance and play among the green vines. With their embellishment, the stone piled hall is like a fairyland in a dream.

Fermorno and others were full of praise when they first saw the natural field in the main room. The object of their praise was bertina, and no one mentioned the pale Lord any more.

"The great witch doctor of Tumen, our family gathered together a batch of slave sacrifices and immediately sacrificed them to all souls and saints to help queen bertina tear apart the land of all souls. This period is very critical. We will guard the queen and welcome her return. There is no need for others to come in again. What do you think?" Said the great witch doctor fermolno.

In addition to the Warrior Leader bucklock and the young son of the old king, fermornu brought in four ancestral witch doctors and seven Assyrian warriors, representing the eight most powerful upper urban noble families, which belong to the core members of the king's party.

It is not accurate to say that they are still loyal to the dead king mokmo, but they have always been aristocratic families in the cloak of the royal party.

The snake eye guard loyal to King mokmo has been destroyed by the witch doctor group led by the queen. However, the Witch Doctor class, which has been suppressed by the royal power for a long time, has not become the mainstream force in the upper urban area in a short time. Those deep-rooted old powerful families still have a profound influence on the poor in the lower urban area and dozens of settlements outside the city. Harinadak tries to divide and win over , and then suppress some old dignitaries to weaken their influence and replace them.

These eight Assyrian noble families were the targets set up by Queen harenadak, who had just walked with mokmo.

They are afraid of the mana of harinadak and dare not fight her head-on, but it is their common choice to unite with the Tumen witch doctor and then seek political power.

Tumen knew that these people were unkind to him. He was besieged by the witch doctors of the Zuling sect. The old guys led by fermornu shouted the most fiercely. They wanted to turn harinadak's eyes on Tumen.

If harinadak is the head of the witch doctor group, Tumen is a well deserved deputy head. If the deputy head becomes the object of criticism, of course, their pressure will be much less.

However, Tumen admitted that he was too poor compared with these old kings and dignitaries. Even if harinadak distributed some property to him, it could not be compared with fermornu's family wealth. Therefore, when he went out to look for the fountain of youth, there were only dozens of slave soldiers around him, and sinau could easily pull away more than 100 well-trained slave hunters. Although the sinau family is rich, they can't compare with these old powerful families.

In Assyrian society, wealth represents strength. The wealth possessed by the eight old powerful families is envious. No wonder Harry nadak will crowd them out, but he doesn't dare to act rashly.

The pale Lord falls into eternal sleep, Queen bertina wakes up, and everything will change. Harenadak has mastered the power of the realm of all souls through the queen, and she has no scruples. The eight powerful families can't wait any longer. Moving closer to Queen bertina is the best way out.

The "others" in fermornu's mouth refers to the chief priest harinadak. Tumen was aware of their plans, nodded and asked, "what's the situation with the remnants of the snake eye guard now?"

Several Assyrian witch doctors and warriors first made eye contact. One of the warriors stood up and said, "several descendants of the old king have joined the remnants of the snake eye guard, a total of more than 500 people. They are gathering refugee slaves outside the city. I estimate they can assemble an army of more than 2000 people."

The snake eye guard, together with private soldiers from eight powerful families, is definitely a military force that can subvert the main city of Assyria. Moreover, Queen harrinadak has brought her main force and the undead troll to the zero wolf settlement outside the city. The rest of the aristocratic families in Shangcheng district could not resist this force even if they united.

Tumen glanced at the Warrior Leader and said coldly, "you are indeed secretly protecting the snake eye guard. I'm afraid you have also provided a lot of weapons rattan armor."

Fermorno pushed the timid little prince in front of him and said positively: "The great witch doctor of Tumen can solve the problem of snake eye guard as long as the little prince becomes a servant around the queen... In addition, the queen is about to tear apart the realm of all souls, and there is likely to be a fountain of immortality here in the temple, while the descendants of the old king and snake eye guard do not touch the fountain of immortality here. They have shown their attitude of obedience to the queen. I don't think it's necessary to take snake eye All the guards were killed. "

Without asking if he could, Tumen asked, "what about the savage sacrifices that escaped?"

Fermornu misunderstood Tumen's meaning and was stunned. He said in a deep voice: "the old king's confidant let go of the savage sacrifice and created chaos... More than 2000 savage sacrifice fled into the forest outside the city. When the queen woke up, the great witch doctor of Tumen became the chief priest, and we will send slave soldiers to catch the savage and give it to you as property."

Obviously, the eight powerful families did not have a connection with the great witch doctor of imosen. Tumen was secretly relieved and immediately communicated with the natural spirit of the flower goblin. The calm cannibal vines fluttered towards fermornu and others like an enraged python. Among them, the Assyrian warriors responded quickly, but in the hall covered with Cannibal vines, their resistance or escape were futile After a little struggle, they were tied up with thorny vines like the ancestral witch doctor. With the strong paralytic toxin injected into their body, the super cannibal completely subdued them.

Fermorno gasped, stared at the great shaman of Tumen and asked, "Why are you...?"

"Because Tumen knew I was here as soon as he came in."

The vines in the corner of the main room were separated automatically, and harrinadak, who was enchanting, came out with a bright purple grain on her face, holding a snake stick. With a joking smile on her face, she shook her head and said, "the jungle in the natural field is invisible, covering my traces and breath. Only a great witch doctor like grandpa Tumen can perceive my existence... You can't!"

"Harry nadak... You, you didn't go to zero wolf settlement?!" Fermorno turned his head hard, stared wide, and said incredulously.

It was as if the ivory carved witch doctor ignored fermornu. She twisted her snake waist and went straight to the bodybuilding Warrior Leader to offer a kiss to her lover. The bound ancestral witch doctor and Assyrian warriors found that baklock had not been attacked by cannibal vines.

Harry nadak turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said proudly, "why do you think that bucklock will betray me? Why do you think that I will leave her at such an important moment when the queen wakes up?"

She really should be proud. The descendants of King mokmo and the residual strength of snake eye guard are not enough to resist the Witch Doctor class who restore mana, and when they leave the city, they become indistinguishable from savages and lose the last bit of influence. Harrinadak's real trouble comes from within the witch doctor group. She doesn't want to eradicate the rich witch doctor's family, but she wants to solve problems like fermornu As long as we get rid of a few evil minded leaders, the rest will naturally be at ease.

The savage allied forces besieged the zero wolf settlement, creating a good opportunity for harinadak to deal with her internal opponents. She secretly planned with baklock and pretended to lead her troops out of the city. In fact, she left the army alone and quietly returned to the main room of the temple. Baklock was responsible for luring the leader of the traitor into the main room of the temple. There was bertina's natural field and forbidding her ancestors Spiritual magic. When the Zuling witch doctor came to the main room of the temple, he was no different from ordinary Assyrians. Harry nadak, who was in ambush, could easily catch them all.

The chief sacrifice witch doctor didn't expect that her lover was the illegitimate son of King mokemo, but she hid herself in the main room of the temple. After all, baclock didn't betray her. That night, he ran over to confess the truth to her.

Harrinadak decided to continue the trap plan. The hidden opponent was indeed caught. They found Tumen for cooperation, but Tumen was not harrinadak's opponent at all. Besides, she was surrounded by the outstanding Warrior Leader bucklock. In fact, the house arrest of Tumen witch doctor is also a necessary means for harinadak to deceive his political enemies. Tumen was a smart man. He found that harinadak didn't leave the temple and subdued fermornu and others without her hands.

Fermornu wanted to say something more, but the witch doctor queen was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, drove the cannibal vine to block the mouths of all the prisoners, and said faintly: "If you cut off the snake's head, the most poisonous snake is just a dead body... Bucklock, tell those families that fermornu intended to murder the queen and I caught them on the spot, but this matter has nothing to do with the family. I don't pursue it. I only take fermornu and others as sacrifices to all souls."

This was originally the response plan discussed by the two people. Bucklock said simply, "OK."

Harenadak turned to the great witch doctor of Tumen and said with a smile, "Grandpa Tumen, the orcs and savages who attacked the zero wolf settlement are solved by the city guard. What do you think of mokmo's sons and snake eye guard?"

Tumen was surprised and had an unspeakable disappointment. He had done so, and harrinadak still wanted to drive him away from bertina and prevent him from welcoming the return of the queen.

"What do you want to do?" Tumen asked back unhappily.

Harry nadak has won a great victory. He doesn't care about the student's hard tone and nods: "I agree to their request that the little prince stay and serve as a servant for bertina. After the queen wakes up, I allow mokmo's sons to see the queen, but they want to abolish the title of Prince... I'm afraid they can't trust other witch doctors. In this matter, I'd like to ask father Tumen to come forward and talk to the snake eye guard."

Tumen was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "OK, I'll leave the temple now and find the snake eye guard outside the city... I'll let them catch those escaped savages."

Seeing that Tumen turned and walked outside the temple, bucklock asked behind him, "great witch doctor, I'll send some animal spirit warriors to protect you..."

"No! Lest they go to all spirits and blame me."

With a cold hum, Tumen walked out of the main room of the temple without looking back.

Bucklock stared at the back of the great witch doctor, watched him walk down the steps of the temple, and asked with some worry, "harina, do you think the great witch doctor Tumen will collude with the snake eye guard and won't come back?"

"Don't come back? Be a savage outside? Even if Tumen wants to, the snake eye guard and mokemo's sons can't agree."

Harrinadak smiled and said confidently, "Tumen is angry, but you don't have to worry... Because he will never betray queen bertina."

Harrinadak is right. Neither the snake eye guard nor the Assyrian refugees will follow the great witch doctor of Tumen, just to be a savage. Tumen does not have the will to betray the queen. However, helping bertina reunite with her biological father is not betrayal, but a political speculation.

When Tumen left the city, he first found the snake eye guard and explained to them what happened in the temple. The snake eye guard loyal to the old king realized that they had lost their insiders. Even if the main guard of the witch doctor queen was not in the city, they had no chance of winning now.

The snake eye guard can only accept Tumen's offer and temporarily stay in the plantation outside the city until the new king succeeds to the throne.

The great witch doctor had learned from the snake eye guard that they had not instigated the assassination in the market. So, after stabilizing the rebels, Tumen immediately entered the forest to look for the trace of rare people. Under the guidance of the natural spirit, he found the savage headhunters and monster Legion led by imosen.

Tumen originally wanted to persuade imosen to wait for bertina to wake up, and then he would mediate to help their father and daughter reunite. Unfortunately, Randall's expedition could not sit and watch bertina be manipulated by the pale Lord. The poor Tumen witch doctor was captured again, and Nelson resolutely ordered a raid on the temple in the main city of Assyria.

Harinadak and bucklock had no idea what was happening outside. Hundreds of fierce monsters and nearly a thousand savage headhunters had defeated the limited private troops of the nobles in Shangcheng district and rushed to the core area where the temple was located.
