Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1476 Bombing
The Wild Hunt refers to a phenomenon in which a large army of supernatural hunters marches in the wild, chasing prey, accompanied by lightning, thunder, ghostly howls, and nightmares. If it were in the East, this situation might be called "the passing of the ghost soldiers." But the ghost soldiers are the soldiers of the King of Hell, and they are part of the order. The Wild Hunt belongs entirely to the wilderness and has nothing to do with people.

There are also many "Kings of the Wild Hunt" who launched the Wild Hunt. According to legend, Odin himself would launch the Wild Hunt, and that is the image of the Einherjar marching. Freya and her warriors are slightly inferior. In addition, there are mythical elves such as nymphs. In the ancient times when wars were raging, a kind of "worship of dead generals" was also prevalent in the German region. Dead generals were believed to have great spiritual power and might haunt the afterlife or bless a party to become a saint. Dead generals would also be part of the Wild Hunt.

Today's Wild Hunt was launched by Freya. Her cat car was Shangluo's target, and he had prepared a sufficient plan.

And the Iceman he just talked to is the key to this plan.

After eating, the Iceman did not dare to drink. He just filled his stomach in a short time, then left the dining room with his gold. After Shangluo explained to him, he finally guessed the main reason why he was called here - not only to inform him to prepare for the competition, but also because he was a tool.

Because the gold in his hand was connected to Elodeasha based on the [Law of Infection] in the Three Laws of Magic - the magical connection between the two would be established once they came into contact. Just like a dog can find prey by following the smell, many magics can find the target by detecting this connection.

And the connection established with Elodiasha through this gold is particularly special and extremely strong, because Elodiasha has said in advance: this gold is a reward from the Wild Hunt, and throwing it away at will will be punished by the Wild Hunt.

This is the expression of Elodiasha's approval of this connection. Most of the objects left by the elves are like this. They will maintain a connection with the elves themselves through words such as promises and threats, and one day they will return to the hands of the elves who issued them, and come back with a bloody story - how many people's hands this gold has passed through during its wandering, how many people its curse has killed, and how many disasters it has brought, Elodiasha can know through the "smell" on it.

If the story of "the gold gifted by the Wild Hunt" is further spread, then accordingly, Elodeasha's power in this regard will also increase further.

It is because Elodiasa herself wishes for this power to be realized that the connection between her and the gold is so strong.

The key to ensuring this connection is that the Iceman himself keeps the gold. He will be the key to the entire mission.

Before leaving, Shangluo's instructions were still ringing in his ears - once the mission ahead failed, he would have to throw away the gold to maximize the anger of Irodeiasha, so that the royal army could detect Irodeiasha's location again and launch a second attack.

[What do you think is the chance of needing to use him? ]

"More than 70%." Shangluo said in a deep voice.

He knew that the actual situation was far from as optimistic as it seemed. At this time, Elodeasha showed the face of the God of the Wild Hunt. She was not so easily defeated because she had not yet found her target.

"By the way, is he here to hunt or something this time?"

[At this time, it should be the rabbit goddess Ostara. She is the pet of the goddess of love Venus and is now scattered abroad. The rabbit god appears in spring and is a symbol of the reproduction of all things. When the Greeks reach this season, they will eat red eggs at this time because red symbolizes rebirth. ]

"Why does it seem like there's a custom of eating red eggs everywhere?"

[Really? Even the meaning is the same. ]

“So, the rabbit god Ostara throws red Easter eggs?”

[At first, this didn't happen. Later, this festival was linked to rabbits, and the task of throwing eggs fell to Ostara. But Ostara is not an important god, because only children can see her, and her existence is closer to a folk culture. And Elodeasha never let him go, and I always think this behavior is a bit strange. ]

"for example?"

【For example, she wants to be the real Venus. 】

"He can still do this?"

[Let me ask you, have you ever heard of the name Elodeasha? ]

"I've never heard of that. If I remember correctly, Elodeasha is the Elf King of Romania?"

[That's right. Elodeasha's origins are extremely remote, but she was very successful in fighting against the Romans and prospered as a symbol of the northern border that Rome could not control. But you can also see that her origins are not stable, because not many people know where she originated. For a spiritual being, annexing an image similar to it and treating it as its own 'predecessor' or 'incarnation' is a common way of expansion. In particular, the power of the dead gods is particularly suitable for claiming ownership. In order to complete the claim, Elodeasha needs to collect the characteristics of this god. 】

Elodiasa's divinity has some similarities to Venus, because the god of love itself is a wild and crazy god. As an extremely powerful ancient god, Elodiasa would naturally want to claim the existence of this godhood.

[However, thanks to Rome's efforts, these gods have not been taken away - so you don't see gods like Poseidon walking on the ground with people. But if left alone, it's hard to say when she will succeed. ]

"I didn't expect that Elodeasha's life is actually... how should I put it? It's actually quite rich? I thought the life of an elf would be more peaceful."

[They couldn't calm down at all. If they were spiritual beings, they didn't have any objective entities, which meant that their existence was completely dependent on the collective subconscious of humans. In other words, the faces of elves that could not be remembered would be vague. And if they were forgotten, even the noble elves would disappear like smoke. It was precisely because of this that they coveted the personality of gods like Venus. ]

"I've thought about Karin. Do you think Karin's existence is a better example?"

Apollonia thought for a moment: [Karin has her own family, and she has gained love. Love is extremely important to elves. Because love is a memory that goes deep into the bones, and being loved can never be forgotten. Elodeasha has a good eye, and Karin's home is full of love. You also like the atmosphere of their home, right? ]

Shang Luo nodded: "So, maybe the elves can try to use this method to reach a reconciliation with the world. There are many ways to be remembered, and it is not necessary to start a war. Many elves can have a better future - of course, Elodeasha is not included. She does not deserve such a future. She is a kidnapper. I will punish her for Karin. What I am thinking about is what to do with the other people she kidnapped." [You are actually arranging this? ]

"After all, they are all Karin's sisters."

[Well, I don't know what you're thinking, but your kindness is really 'just right'. Why haven't I seen you be so kind before? ]

"Because these elves are very strong, didn't you notice? And I can't just watch them live in chaos like ghosts. I cited Karin's example because I hope they can wake up from the elves' madness like Karin did, and start to find their own lives."

[You are blocking both ends. The prerequisite for waking up from ecstasy is that the spirit regains self-awareness, but the prerequisite for gaining self-awareness is to be reshaped from ecstasy. The door of this hotel is automatically locked, and you left your key in the door, so it can't be opened now.]

"But Karin opened it, didn't she?"

[Yes, this is the key. Karin was opened by you because you used force to end the cycle of 'you need to unlock the door to enter' and 'the key is in the door', and directly dismantled the door - you cut off Karin's finger and then grafted it onto another Karin's hand. In this way, one of them can wake up from the trance, and the other can exist stably. This is a happy ending. But there is a prerequisite: there must be someone to exchange. ]

"Ah, some of them can no longer be exchanged, right?"

[That's right. Elodeasha kidnapped these girls not just to make them serve for a few decades, but to make them serve the royal court for hundreds of years before completely disappearing. The 'Karin' used to replace them may not live to be 10 years old before disappearing. The lifespan of the Karin of Mayor Kesuo's family is amazing for a replacement, probably because the status, gift, and love of Mayor Kesuo's family are just in a balanced period.]

This is the "middle state" that Shangluo had told her about before: the emperors lamented the unfortunate consequences of their noble births, while the poor sighed that they did not have noble births. Robinson Crusoe said: They did not have to do hard physical labor like the lower classes and still have no means of living; nor did they have to be exhausted by the arrogance, ambition and mutual oppression like the upper class.

Karin, who happened to be in such a family, gained great happiness and love.

Mayor Caesar is indeed a Roman noble, but that doesn't mean he doesn't need to work. In fact, he is not only the mayor, but also a retailer and farmer in the town - that's why his house has so many food museum-like things to entertain.

But Mayor Kessel's work is not that hard, and he has plenty of time to spend with his family every day. He doesn't go hungry after work, nor does he get too full to get involved in court politics.

In this perfect state, Karin had an extremely happy childhood, which allowed her spirit to be healed, which allowed her to hold on until Shangluo arrived, and also gave the kidnapped "Big Karin" hope of returning home. Because in order to achieve a good ending in this matter, both are indispensable.

[It is hard to find such a situation with other people, because it is hard to be stuck in these few years. At most, you can save one or two people. For others, you still have to think of other ways. ]

"This Elodiasa is truly a heinous criminal!"

Therefore, Shangluo would never let her have a good ending. And in this war, he would personally bring the culprit to justice.

"It appeared!" Suddenly, Han Xingzhi sent a message from Lianshan, "Brother, the thing you asked me to find appeared! The image has been sent to you!"

Shangluo accepted the image - sure enough, that was what he was looking for.

The unicorn appeared in the woods.

[The appearance of the unicorn is a symbol of the opening of the rift. The place where the unicorn appears is the intersection of the spiritual world and the earthly world. Elodeasha will definitely appear near there, and we just pointed out the way for her. The line connecting the place we pointed out and this place is the path Elodeasha will take.]

Although Lianshan had been keeping an eye on the route of the Wild Hunt, they were moving too fast. If we didn't know their final target, it would be difficult to attack them on this path. So after determining a general direction, we could find a key target like the unicorn, which symbolized the portal.

"So if the directions are wrong, she will follow the wrong path?"

[Yes, after all, someone else will bear the consequences of deceiving the elves. She will retaliate afterwards, but she will believe it beforehand.]

"Good fellow." Thinking of this, the Iceman's situation became even more dangerous. If he could not catch Elodeasha this time, he might face even greater danger. "But this can be considered a test for him."

[Hey, hey, hey, you didn’t say that to the elves just now. You were so kind to the elves, why did it become a test here? ]

"How can it be the same? Those elves are victims, and the Iceman is my employee. Of course I have to save the victims and provide my employees with opportunities to be tested and promoted. Doesn't this make me look more kind?"

[Wow, you are so kindhearted. You definitely didn't do this because you expected them to be as beautiful as Karin, did you? But at least you paid them according to the actual treatment - so, are we going to fight? ]

"We have finally located here, there is no reason not to fight - move, move, everyone move! Lianshan, start throwing the orbital module, throw it directly into the forward path! Let the Qigong practitioners start to draw the formation after landing, and teleport us over as well. This time, we must intercept them on the way. We must attack the head and the tail of the team, and let the ones in the middle go -"

Then, comes the highlight.

"Lianshan, you can charge the relativistic kinetic weapon. Conventional physical means cannot harm this Elf King, but if I can tear the earth's crust, what will you do? Now is the time to test which one will prevail, the spirit or the kinetic energy. If it doesn't work once, we will blow it up again until she dies. I don't believe that she can travel back in time if the earth is gone. Old Western doctors are sometimes right. This earth needs to bleed occasionally to eliminate toxins."
