Cthulhu Gonfalons

Chapter 13

White Leaf Village was very quiet, and it seemed like there was still some cold air left. The houses had already been damaged, there was a thick layer of ash covering the earth, and Sui Xiong could see some of the remains from the ashes. Looking from afar, he shook his head and sighed deeply.

He already knew the cause and effect of the incident, and also why the old officer sneaked attack him — because good and evil are always natural enemies of each other.

The war between good and evil, the war between different ideas, and the war between people of different stances. On earth, the war between different ideologies has developed into a war between two groups led by two superpowers, and to intimidate each other, they have unleashed enough weapons of mass destruction to kill all of humanity multiple times. But in this world, among the Gods, different countries, races, and religious sects, they would fight violently just because of ideological differences. Compared to this, the actions of the old officer returning his benevolent actions with hostility and sneaking attacks on him were actually nothing.

Several hundred people in White Leaf Village died, and it was only due to the desire of the old officials to quarrel between the various ideologies.

Sui Xiong did not regret what he had done, which used his cold energy to defend himself, even though he sacrificed the lives of innocent people. Because at that moment, he didn't know much about this world, he was facing a major crisis and fighting to win, so what was wrong with that? Even so, he still felt great sympathy for the innocent villagers who died, he said, and so angry with a world where wars between different ideologies can be so serious that few can understand.

“The world is a little sick ..” With a sigh, Sui Xiong walks around the village in a circle on the body of his large jellyfish, digs a deep trench, and makes it a simple magic circle with its tentacles, and makes it a simple magic circle, which is much stronger and stronger than any hoe.

This simple magic circle was the Protective Circle, which could prevent the dead within the circle from turning into a living being. The so-called re-living beings referred to the beings whose bodies would be revived, and became war crafts that moved after being eroded by the Dark energy, or Negative energy in this world. But they have no intelligence, and will only attack things, even the most common creatures in nature that contain positive energy by instinct. It is based on the principle that two objects with opposite charges will attract.

Before Sui Xiong was transported, he was addicted to online games, and had played many computer games. In his view, a creature that came back to life and became a war craft should be called the Undead. In fact, the so-called “Mati” can be divided into two categories: creatures that come back to life, and creatures that never die. As for the former, they were just simple war crafts without intelligence, whereas for the latter, they had intelligence and strength, and could become demons that would continue to grow stronger and stronger.

Creatures that never die come from all sorts of different backgrounds, and

they were also supported by Gods and other war crafts, so they were a force that could never be underestimated. While living beings are not exactly alike, and lack intelligence, they cannot provide the energy that comes from belief. They would not be valued or protected because they could not do even a little complicated work, and they would even be insulted by most other beings of the same kind. They have the lowest status and cannot be lower. Although, in fact, many creatures that never die evolve from them. But they were the ones who had become a great threat to the people living in the Dark Forest.

The Dark Forest, which is supposed to be called by a formal name, is known as Ash Forest. It is said that in ancient times, some Gods got into big fights there, and the dead Gods turned to ashes and damaged the forest. Since then, the forest has been the cradle of negative energy, constantly sending out energy that continues to erode the surrounding land, and integrating and transforming the remnants in the forest into living beings.

The strange thing is that no matter how powerful they are, they cannot evolve, which makes the Ash Forest unattractive to criminals trying to recruit living creatures. Only poor farmers are willing to work hard to plow the land here.

After analyzing the energy on the baldacchino belonging to Lord Wu Mian, Sui Xiong had mastered the tactic of absorbing negative energy. The magic circle he created was meant to extract all the negative energy within the circle, and then disperse it. Without negative energy, the remains of the dead would no longer be dead.

Very comfortable doing things with a large body. Although Sui Xiong did not have any tools, he still quickly made a magic circle with just his strong tentacles. As a student coming from the fine arts department of a third grade art school, Sui Xiong managed to draw the perfect magic circle with what he had learned.

Before activating the magic circle, he walked to White Leaf Village again, and looked at it more closely. This magic circle can greatly weaken the intensity of the negative energy within the circle, and if there are some beings who come back to life, they will also die.

Even though the living creatures that came back to life were extremely rare, perhaps he could even find one or two. As he expected, he found one in his body. It was an undead that only had its soul left. It was in a fighting position, and was ready to fight with an enemy that did not even come out.

Sui Xiong instantly recognized him as a bald man, who was tall and agile. The strongest warrior in the village! According to information he got from baldacchino, this tough guy named Gerrard Cabannes, who was once a lansquenet. Since he had offended a great weapon, he escaped and started living in seclusion in the Ash Village. He had no faith or respect for the Gods, and only believed his own axe. Because he liked to teach people, and had a high reputation in this village, he became sick in the eyes of the attendant and a thorn in his flesh.

All powerful beings in this world could be put into three ranks based on their abilities, namely Bronze Rank, Silver Rank and Gold Rank. When a creature gets a higher rank, its life form will change, which is a symbol to get a higher rank. In Gold Rank, it was a legendary being that had a very long and extremely strong lifespan and passed the Gold Rank. Gerrard and the old officer were at the Bronze Rank, so normally, if twenty or thirty strong men attacked one of them together, neither of them would lose. But because the officer was old and weak, while Gerrard was at the top of his life, the old officer always lost in some of the conflicts that had occurred between them.

As an officer of the Evil God, he had received many tactics to use. But Gerrard was a very cunning man who had years of life experience, and never gave the old officer the chance to sneak attack him, until that big night of fighting, he said, when the old officer sacrifices himself to activate Thrall and sneak attacks Sui Xiong . However, the result was that both Gerrard and all the villagers became objects of burial, which was something he never thought would happen.

Sui Xiong was watching the Undead, and discovered that most of his body had dimmed, and had almost become void, despite the light still glittering in the place of his heart. He was certain that the Undead would soon disappear and turn into part of the negative energy that permeated the Ash Forest. Now that Sui Xiong had come, things might turn out differently.

Sui Xiong thought for a moment, then he released his magic energy and turned it into a gray ball that enveloped Gerrard. Inside the ball, is pure negative energy. Controlled by Sui Xiong's magic energy, it constantly sank into Gerrard's soul and made the fragile Undead quickly grow strong. In a short time, this undead face was like a living person, and his face shone smartly.

The undead stood still, looking around in a riddle. “What's going on?”

“You are dead,” Sui Xiong said.

Gerrard turned to look at the huge jellyfish monster, and it was easy to tell from his eyes that he was still confused. “Then why am I here?”

“I understand ..” After Gerrard heard what happened, he was silent for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh.

“What will you do?” Sui Xiong asked as he saw Gerrard was quite depressed. “Will you go to Hell or the Holy Kingdom?”

In this world, there are only two places to go when the soul does not want to disappear or become a creature that never dies. One place is Hell. There, he can take the opportunity to see if he will turn into an evil monster, or walk into the River Styx to wash away all the signs of his existence that already exist and are reincarnated. The other place was the Holy Kingdom where the gods were believed to live. There, it could become a creature of the Holy Kingdom, and could live for many years, and eventually, it would integrate itself into the Holy Kingdom and become part of the construction of the Holy Kingdom.

In truth, Sui Xiong did not get too much information about this, so he was unclear about what life in Hell or the Holy Kingdom really looked like, but in his view, it was unclear, none of them are a good place to go.

If a soul wants to reincarnate, let it be. And by the way, why is there a possibility that it could become a monster in Hell !? Also, it is not bad to live in the Holy Kingdom, but why should it be integrated into the Holy Kingdom and become a building material !?

Gerrard was silent for a while, and he said, “I once had faith in the Protector of Thieves, but then I gave up my faith and became a non-believer forever, so I cannot go to the Holy Kingdom. And about Hell ... I also don't want to go there .. ”

“Well, there were only two ways left then: to disappear or to become a creature that would never die. Which one will you choose? “Sui Xiong said,” I do not advise you to choose the first one, and if you want to be a creature that never dies, I can help you with my strength, which is rather strong, and if you want to be a creature that never dies, I can help you with my strength, if you don't mind me saying it. And I can help prevent you from losing your mind entirely. ”

“I don't want to be Wraith or Death Knight ..”

“You are indeed a bit chatty.”

Gerrard laughed and replied, “Who would have thought I could joke along with the legendary powerful creature when I was dead, even after I was chased by some Bronze Rank assassins, and hunted like a dog … Okay, come on, I've moved. It's okay even if I'm going to disappear. ”

There is a phrase from the Chinese poem, which reads, “The most difficult thing in the world is probably his willingness to die” Now because Gerrard is not even afraid of death, this makes him seem a little more dignified.

However, Sui Xiong did not want him to just die, as Gerrard was not a bad person, and had a thing or two up his sleeve. In addition, the most important thing is that Gerrard has been many places over the years, and is very knowledgeable with a lot of experience. Sui Xiong, on the other hand, was unfamiliar with this world. As for the information he got from the baldacchino, the more he referred to it, the more he hesitated. If Sui Xiong could get Gerrard by his side and make him a guide, it would be a lot of fun.

Also, he was able to save himself from a lot of trouble by getting Gerrard to agree to pretend to be an Archmage, and forge the legendary being summoned by Gerrard. After all, he had a very large body, if he did not give a decent identity, no matter where he went, there would be panic!

Then Sui Xiong pondered for a while, and finally made a decision. “How about ... I create a new body for you ..?”

“What?” Gerrard looked at him as if he was possessed, and had no idea what he meant.

“I can try to create a new body for you to see if you can have it with your spirit, and reincarnate.”

Gerrard was overjoyed, but still a little hesitant because Necromancy was famous, and he could not be too wary of what impact he would face when he agreed.

On second thought, he believed that there was no need for such a powerful being to lie to a small person like him. Among the many stories in folklore, there were always some demons who managed to trick people into signing contracts. Even so, those people were often great people with bright futures. Who would want to spend his precious time in deceiving the soon-to-be lost soul of a miserable, dead adventurer like himself? If this creature intends to do so, it can cast spells and can command creatures that never die …

While thinking this, Gerrard finally calmed down, but he could not help but ask, “Did this really work?”

Sui Xiong laughed and cheered her up, “Try it, and maybe it will work. And since you are ready to die, you have nothing to lose, even if it doesn't work. ”

This is all very convincing, such as when someone decides not to play a particular game, but they can gain experience or currency by using unauthorized third-party plugins. In other words, it was very interesting.

“OK, alright!” Gerrard thought about this for a while, then he did as Sui Xiong ordered.

The process of making a new body begins.
