Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 4385 Seeking Self
"Lord Angor?" Kerma called out to Angor softly, his eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

Just after the translucent figure of Priest Sean vanished, a single, faintly shimmering drop of water remained in the air. It was at the very moment this drop appeared that Angell fell into a daze.

This lapse in concentration lasted for several minutes.

No one knew what had happened, so they could only wait on the sidelines.

They guessed it might be related to the "water droplets," but no one dared to touch them. If it really was related, even the all-powerful Angell was in a state of shock; their situation was likely much more serious.

For a moment, everyone was at a stalemate.

As the fog grew thicker and thicker, no one knew when the instance would "collapse," and there was no indication of the last fragment of truth in the text bar. In his anxiety, Kemai went to Angor's side, trying to wake him up.

After being called several times by Kemai, Angel actually came back to his senses.

Seeing that Angor's eyes had regained their brightness, Kemai quickly asked, "Sir, are you alright?"

Angell glanced around at everyone and saw the curiosity and worry on their faces. He said softly, "I'm fine. I was just using my ability to try to analyze this drop of water."

He was telling the truth.

The moment this drop of water appeared, a large amount of powerful information swirled around it.

Angel couldn't resist and used his power vision to analyze this information.

As a result, these empowered information were all filled with Father Sean's memories.

Angell was immediately immersed in his past.

“Is there something wrong with this drop of water?” Uriel asked.

He now knew that when he was sending the Forty Thieves on their way, the ghost of Priest Sean had briefly appeared, and after the ghost dissipated, it left behind this mysterious drop of water.

He and the others guessed that the drop of water was most likely related to the third fragment of the truth, but because of Angel's sudden lapse in concentration, no one dared to touch the drop of water rashly.

Angel shook his head slightly: "There shouldn't be any problem. You can try touching it and see."

He didn't directly reveal the answer, but instead let everyone experience it for themselves.

After receiving Angel's permission, Uriel immediately went to the water droplet and gestured to the others that he wanted to touch it first.

Because the water droplets are so small, they can't all rush in at once; there needs to be a sequence.

Of all those present, Uriel had the most urgent thirst for the truth, and since he was the first to try, everyone understood and nodded in acquiescence.

Uriel took a deep breath, reached out a slightly trembling hand, and gently touched the water droplet that was suspended in mid-air.

The next second, a notification from a fairyland appeared before his eyes.

When he saw the text, his expression faltered slightly.

"You have discovered 'Sean's Memory Drop'."

"Would you like to view Sean's memories?"

"whether"

Uriel's heart skipped a beat, then began to pound.

He thought the water droplet was the third fragment of the truth, but it turned out to be Sean's memory! This was even better than the fragment of the truth for him!

Because Sean's memories must contain in-depth information related to Rigota!
Uriel chose without hesitation: Yes!
After clicking to select, the memory did not appear immediately, but instead a note appeared.

"Note: Receiving a large amount of information in a short period of time can overload the brain. Your current brain capacity allows only one memory fragment to be processed at a time."

"Please select the memory segment you wish to view."

"Memory Fragment 1" "Memory Fragment 2" "..." "Memory Fragment 5"

There are five memory fragments in total, but because Uriel is a mortal, his brain cannot handle too much information in a short period of time, so he can only choose one fragment.

For a moment, Uriel was caught in a dilemma.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to the crowd for help.

When everyone learned that the water droplet contained Sean's memories, they were momentarily stunned.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the third fragment of the truth is definitely hidden in Sean's memories. Once they finish reading these memories, they will likely be able to obtain the final fragment of the truth.

After some discussion, they decided to choose in order.

Uriel chooses memory fragment 1, the second person chooses memory fragment 2, and so on...

However, at this moment, Ke Mai said with a worried expression, "This instance can hold a total of five people, corresponding to five memory fragments... but we only have four people now, and we are still one person short."

“You don’t need to worry about that, just leave it to me.” Angerton paused, then explained, “The upper limit of the information flow that can be carried is related to mental strength. I can carry multiple memory fragments.”

Hearing Angel's words, Kemai also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, everyone began to distribute the memory fragments.

Uriel chose the first memory fragment, Kemai and Blanche chose the second and third memory fragments, and the last two memory fragments were given to Angor.

Soon, Uriel and the other two accepted their respective memory fragments and fell into a kind of trance.

He staggered, as if he were about to faint.

This is clearly an overload state caused by the brain receiving a large number of memories in an instant.

Of the three, only Blanche was slightly better; she didn't sway, but her face had clearly turned pale.

Seeing this, Angel snapped his fingers lightly, and a large number of illusion nodes began to converge, forming a soft sofa behind everyone.

After sitting down, they felt a little better, slowly closed their eyes, and began to receive the infusion of memories.

As they carried their memories, Angell's gaze returned to the suspended droplet of water.

Now that the water droplet has been divided into three memory fragments, it has become noticeably smaller. It is estimated that it will completely dissipate after Angell has absorbed the remaining two memory fragments.

He had actually read through all of Father Sean's memories while reading the information about his powers.

However, even though he already knew what happened next, the final piece of the truth still hadn't appeared.

Clearly, the memory information he deciphered using the "cheat code" has not yet been recognized by the powers of the fairy realm.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will still need to go through a process to digest all the memory fragments before they will manifest.

Thinking of this, Angell sighed silently, stepped forward, and touched the water droplet.

Choose: Memory Fragment 4, Memory Fragment 5.

The next second, Angel felt a flood of information rush into his mind, but this information did not have any impact on Angel, since he already had the relevant memories.

In this situation, this information is like watching a TV series to him—it doesn't stir any emotions.

……

Sean accepted the mission of escorting the informant to Dawn City.

This was a task he specifically chose.

This would allow them to leave Eveninglight Harbor smoothly and also provide an opportunity to escort Rigota back to Dawn City.

After all, Rigota is currently a high-priority "criminal" in Late Lights, and if she returns to Late Lights unharmed, it will definitely cause a huge uproar.

Therefore, she can only return to Dawn City now. Once she arrives in Dawn City, she will have the protection of her family. Even if people find out that she "did not suffer the fire boot punishment", no one will dare to pursue the matter.

However, it was definitely not feasible for a weak woman like her to go to Dawn City. It was still quite far from Dawn City, and there were various risks along the way.

The best option was to take a carriage, but the carriages were under the jurisdiction of the church, and the boarding point was in Port Eden, so she could not return.

Therefore, Sean decided to help people to the end.

He was planning to go to the orphanage in Dawn City anyway to see the child he had sent there, and he could also take a quest to Dawn City and give Rigota a ride along the way.

Sean had a good plan, thinking it was a win-win solution, but who could have predicted that the seemingly harmless escort mission would become his death trap.

the next day.

Sean escorted the Forty Thieves informants away from Eveninglight Harbor, picked up Rigota at the Hunter's Lodge, and then they walked together along the main road toward Dawn City.

Halfway to the South Branch Pass, Sean and his party were robbed by the Forty Thieves.

The robbery was exactly the same as the one described by One-Ear.

Despite having the fighting prowess to easily break through the Forty Thieves' defenses and even launch a counterattack, Sean was hampered at every turn in order to protect the defenseless Rigota, and was hit by several arrows.

While fending off the rain of arrows, Sean was momentarily caught off guard, and one of the arrows struck Rigota in the chest.

Rigota collapsed from her serious injuries.

When Sean saw that Rigota had been injured by him, he was stunned for a moment.

Because of this momentary lapse in concentration, the Forty Thieves seized the opportunity and shot a large number of arrows at Sean.

Seeing that defeat was imminent, Sean immediately glanced at Rigota, picked her up, and jumped into the turbulent River of Trouble.

Sean's idea at the time was to jump into the water to escape.

And he did indeed escape.

But the rapids of the River of Trouble were terrifying. He managed to get through them thanks to his strong physique, but his injuries began to worsen.

And Rigota was even worse.

She was already in critical condition, having been shot in the chest.

Now, having been submerged in the raging river, she was already critically injured, and this latest incident has made her condition even worse.

When Sean finally found an opportunity to carry Rigota out of the River of Trouble, Rigota was already on her deathbed.

Sean turned to look around, trying to find someone to help him.

But the place where they landed was a deserted shallow beach, and further away was a swamp forest shrouded in mist.

Sean frequently traveled between Dawn City and Evening Light Harbor, and naturally had also been to the Swamp Forest. He remembered that there were natives in the Swamp Forest, and that they might have medicine that could cure Rigota.

Thinking of this, Sean endured his pain, hugged Rigota tightly, and ran quickly toward the swamp forest.

But Sean, who was already seriously injured, could no longer support himself after running a certain distance. His eyes became bloodshot, and the blood obscured his vision, making it impossible for him to see the road ahead.

Sean knew that his physical strength was nearing its limit.

Behind her, Rigota was plunged into the final moment.

This place is still a long way from the area inhabited by the indigenous people.

By this point, he was certain that the possibility of seeking help from the indigenous people was almost nonexistent. In these final moments, the scene of Mrs. Maru's death and the stick figure representing the "Self-Seeking Method" flashed through Sean's mind.

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others..."

Sean muttered those words to himself as he walked step by step toward the nearby dead tree.

There is a cramped cavity under this dead tree, which was opened up by the local indigenous people, who even installed a door in it.

He often walked through the marsh forest, so he knew about the dead tree. He even knew that there was a large stone slab in the hollow of the dead tree that looked like a round carpet.

That is a very suitable medium for inscribing inscriptions.

After arriving at the tree hollow, Sean placed Rigota's gradually cooling body aside, then looked at her deeply and whispered, "I'm sorry... I will save you."

"The shadows of the heavens, the forces hidden in the subconscious... will you answer me?"

Sean knelt on the ground and began to carve the inscription patterns of the "Self-Seeking Method" on the stone slab with the blood seeping from his tattered armor and the blood flowing from Rigota's chest.

Soon, a stick figure appeared on the stone slab.

The stick figure is connected by two lines made of inscription symbols, one connecting to the sky and the other to the river.

The meaning of this symbol is: at the cost of one's own soul falling eternally into the dark river, seeking help from the shadows reflecting the high heavens and the power hidden in the subconscious... pleading to revive Rigota.

However, simply requesting the revival of Rigota is not enough to complete the "Self-Seeking Law".

Because this goal is too broad.

It's like paying someone to buy you a pen, but that person doesn't know what kind or shape you want. In the end, you might not even get the pen, and your money might be refunded.

Therefore, if you want to find someone to buy a pen, you need to specify exactly what kind of pen it is.

Similarly, if you request that Rigota be revived, you must personally devise a method to revive her.

After all, this was the first time Sean had used a supernatural ability, and he didn't know how to devise a way to save the situation.

He remained silent for a moment, and finally added the idea of ​​"soul entrusting the body" to the inscription.

As a law enforcement priest, even though he had never been involved in supernatural events, he knew from some church materials that after a person dies, the living soul quickly transforms into a dead soul, at which point there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

And now, Rigota has just died.

If this continues, the living soul will completely transform into a dead soul, and no method of resurrection will be of any use.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to find a body for the soul of Rong Liuligeta.

There was no life around, only his own mangled body still had a trace of vitality.

Therefore, Father Sean added a further request to the "Self-Seeking Method": to bear Rigota's soul in his own body. In addition, he also hoped to use his own soul as a price to maintain a trace of vitality in his body for a long time, so that Rigota could have the possibility of being resurrected in the future.

Otherwise, if his own body were to die completely, even if Rigota's soul resided within him, it would die along with him.

Thus, the design plan to revive Rigota was hastily drafted.

As Sean finished inscribing the inscription, he vaguely saw a huge shadow in the sky above, casting a glance in his direction.

The next second, Sean felt his body go limp and he was plunged into endless darkness.

Memory fragments four and five end here.
