Cthulhu Gonfalons
Chapter 32
Thinking is a mentally exhausting activity. Zhuge Liang, a Chinese politician in the Three Kingdoms Period, always thought too much, even about trivial matters like a soldier being beaten for violating his discipline. He died from thinking too much in the end.
Suddenly, Palin's face turned pale, and her physical abilities decreased rapidly. He became what the man who was supposed to die was like.
Sui Xiong felt that something was wrong with Palin, and he immediately infused his magic energy into Palin's body to restore her with vitality.
“Your Highness, what's wrong with Palin's brother?” Gerrard asked Sui Xiong through telepathy.
Sui Xiong was silent for a while, then honestly he told Gerrard about Palin's situation.
“What!? His soul had left his body and he was moving by relying on the vitality that supported his body and mind? But in my view, he looks perfectly normal! ”
“I also don't know the reason,” Sui Xiong put his tentacles on the ground, showing his helplessness. “I just know that once he loses outside supplies and runs out of his vitality, he will die soon. So as you can see, we must continue to provide vitality to him. ”
“But this can't last too long, can't we give him great vitality?”
“He is too weak to absorb a large amount of vitality, but his body was unable to absorb a large amount of vitality at one time and trying to do that would be useless to him,” Sui Xiong said, and suddenly a brilliant idea appeared in his mind.
There is a cold remedy called “Sustainable Release Capsules.” This mechanism seals the drug into small packets that dissolve at varying speeds inside the human body so that one capsule can last for twelve hours. If this was real or not, Sui Xiong was not sure, but maybe it was true. Based on this idea, Sui Xiong made something similar for Palin!
He tried to concentrate a large amount of vitality into the sphere, and made a thin shell with a soluble substance. The diameter of the ball is about one centimeter. In each part of the structure, there is a one-time use of vitality, and the thickness of each part varies.
Of course, it is just a trial product that requires further testing to ensure it is safe. So, Sui Xiong did not directly give it to Palin, but instead he made a digestive system similar to the human intestines and stomach in his body. Sui Xiong conducted a clinical trial and saw the results.
But this is not important now, the more important thing is to deal with the spoils of war.
Sui Xiong had defeated the Conspiracy God, and the four-faced God beast became Sui Xiong's gift. This strange creature had great power and was at the level of a magic master. Sui Xiong swallowed, carefully digested and analyzed it, and felt that he had learned a lot in this process, which he had not expected.
As the Diviner of the Conspiracy God, the soul of the four-faced beast contained a portion of its magic power.
The main priesthood of the God of Conspiracy is deceit, deception and illusion, along with many other secondary priesthoods: evil, chaos, darkness, and uncleanness.
Compared to Wu Mian, the gatekeeper of the Night God, who could do nothing but his priesthood — shadows, guard, and death — Conspiracy Gods were as versatile as magicians who appeared on the streets.
Sui Xiong had already done this before, mastering all the power of a certain God and mimicking it by analyzing his magic power. Compared to the magic power left behind within Baldacchino, the magic power contained within the four-faced beast was far superior both in quality and quantity. It was pure and incredible. Although not much, his strength was 80 percent of Sui Xiong's strength. If the four-faced beast were to exert its strength completely, Sui Xiong would not be able to catch it easily.
Analyzing the magic power of a certain God takes time and technique. Sui Xiong was in no hurry and could only take his time.
When he increased his ability in seclusion in the ice ditch, he had no idea how long he had been there. In fact, he marked the time, a year or two, according to the change of the four seasons, but then he became confused and became too lazy to bother anymore.
Compared to those long and boring years, the time spent analyzing the magic power of the Conspiracy God was basically meaningless.
Moreover, his two subordinates also did not have a strong time. Before Gerrard got used to thinking carefully about how to cultivate many followers for his own Lord. Now he usually sleeps when he is full. He becomes too lazy to think because he now has a smart colleague: Palin. Palin was very different; she did not need to sleep. Since a soulless body can function with sufficient vitality, it spends all its time reading and thinking, and anyone who sees its hard work will feel ashamed.
Sometimes, Sui Xiong hoped the two would build a balanced character instead of going to extremes.
Day after day, the huge jellyfish floating in the sky did not need to eat, while the two in the cave could use magic to make food. Life is fine.
But for Ryan, things are a bit difficult. Since he had suffered a setback last time, the Conspiracy God was unwilling to do anything with the area where Ryan was. Ryan hoped the God of Conspiracy would return his prayers. For him, every day is a year. He could feel that he was aging every day and dying, and he could not see any hope of going to the Holy Kingdom. This is driving him crazy. Now he couldn't sleep without drugs, and even though he was taking sleeping pills that would put the ox to sleep, he would still suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, screaming and crying like a child abandoned by his parents.
He's desperate. He thought hard why he did not get a reply, and thought maybe it was because his plan did not work out. Cloudkill's scroll was not activated, and the bone bracelet possessed by the giant could not only perform Recovery, but also Sacking, and thought that it was not strange at all that he failed.
“It must be because my plan didn't work, and I bragged to His Majesty that he was angry!” Thinking of this, Ryan started sweating out of fear, “There's only one way, and it's trying again and getting it done right now! ”
After a month, Ryan could no longer live like this anymore, so he was determined to try it again. He took some subordinates from the Thief Association loyal to him, found a powerful mage, and went towards the place where the Ruhr treasure was hidden in a formidable array.
“Are we going to fight against giants?” Ask the witch.
“Ya, right.”
“What specialties does it have?” Continue the witch.
“He has great strength and speed, and his body is very strong. That's not stupid, that's very rare for a giant, ” replied Ryan.
The witch was silent for a while, and asked, “Is there any other specialties worth mentioning? Or special clothes? ”
“He has a bone bracelet that may be an object of advanced magic and can practice Restoration,” Ryan said. “I guess there may be the will of God living in it.”
“That's impossible!” The witch immediately denied his assumption. “A giant has no God to believe in, and I cannot even remember a single god who would let his sacred things be owned by a giant and not ask the holy warrior to take them. I think the thing on the bracelet could only be the soul of their ancestor. Giant races usually believe in their ancestors and magical objects that the souls of their ancestors live in, and it is not uncommon at all. ”
When it comes to magic, only professionals have authority. So Ryan did not hold on to his own thoughts, and asked the witch how to fight against the giant.
“The best way to fight against a giant is to use magic to bring it to the edge of a cliff and make it fall into a cliff by itself. But as you said, it lives in an airtight cave, so we can only get in and out by practicing Transport, and so we can't take it to the cliff … “The magician pondered and thought for a while before asking,” What is the height of the cave? Is this broad? ”
“Not that high,” says Ryan honestly. “And it is rather narrow, so the giant needs to bend down when he stands in it.”
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through the witch's mind.
“Then it's easy,” she smiles. “I have many ideas for killing giants in tight spaces. When that time comes, I will practice the spell and make sure that his head and bones are broken, so that it might die soon. ”
Hearing this, Ryan was very happy. On second thought, he became a little worried and asked, “What if it doesn't crumble to death?”
“Although that's the case, I can still trap him inside and make him unable to move.” The witch was very confident. “Then I will practice another spell—”
He thought for a while and said, “If the bracelet is gone, you won't mind, right?”
“Of course not!” Ryan said without hesitation. “There are still many other treasures in that cave!”
“Good, just leave this to me. That's a piece of cake. ”The magician stood up, swept away the dust of his clothes and went straight back to the camp to sleep.
As a magician whose value lied in his brain instead of his muscles, there was no need for him to spend the night just in case. If he gets enough sleep, he can practice spells steadily, and that is why Ryan brings many of his subordinates with him.
After all ... To fight against a terrifying giant, a blade, arrow, or sword might not work. The key to fighting is magic.
Ryan sat by the campfire watching the witch walk into the camp to sleep. He then turned his attention to the blazing flames and began to think.
If the giant is not dead .. if it is really strong enough to hold Cloudkill .. if it is true there is a god's will in the bracelet …
He took a deep breath, and his face looked very tired.
The vice-chairman, who said nothing as he departed, sat in the corner and watched Ryan quietly. His eyes sparkle.
“The chairman is really old now.” An idea that never crossed his mind formed in his head, “Maybe .. I need to make some plans for myself now ..”
