At this moment, Wingard looked nothing like a human. He resembled a spider, with a sturdy body and various magical limbs sprouting from his sides, pressing against the ground to maintain his balance. His head was covered in snake hair, his body was covered in scales and dark-brown boar bristles, and his heart was powerful, like some deformed magical beast.
Wen Jiade identified the direction for a while, and then broke out to a less dangerous direction.
Although his body looks clumsy, Wingard moves slowly, and his speed is no slower than that of the fish jumping on the ground.
While running hard, Wingard's mind raced, and some information about his own condition came into his mind.
——I am Wingard, a strange sound in the forest that combines the advantages of Earth Dragon, Barbarian Bear, Shadow Fiend, Murloc, Earth Spirit Earthworm, Gorgon, and Wind Eagle.
——I have the appetite and high consumption of an earth dragon, the clumsiness of a wild bear, the photophobia of a shadow demon, the thirst of a murloc, the slowness of an earthworm, the curse of a gorgon... In addition, I also have diseases such as hair loss.
Wen Jiade sensed the characteristics of the Warcraft he had extracted and was suddenly stunned. He did not gain any advantages, only defects.
The painful wail suddenly resounded throughout the manor.
Leah and other members rushed to the mansion following the sound. When they saw the terrifying monster, they drew their swords without hesitation to fight it.
Chapter 341 is wrong!
"Most rituals in the world rely on the two elements of contact and similarity. For example, humans can gain the power of demonic beasts by killing them and then donning their fur to disguise themselves as them. Mortals can also gain divine power by imitating the deeds of gods over time. These are all applications of these two elements and are considered the most primitive rituals."
"But this is also a very dangerous act. Wearing beast furs for a long time and imitating them can lead to a transformation of body and mind into beasts. Imitating a deity can lead to a loss of self and even becoming part of the deity. To avoid these dangers, intelligent creatures have developed more complex rituals to filter out danger and protect people from disaster. Whether it's the use of multiple ritual rings or the use of similar animals as sacrifices, they all aim to reduce the harm the ritual poses to the subject."
"Unfortunately, even if mortals use all their ingenuity, carefully select the time and materials, and adjust their own state, they cannot guarantee a 100% success rate for the ritual. There will always be unexpected accidents."
Adele rested her head on Noita's thighs, enjoying her brain massage and listening to her explanation of the ritual.
"Adele, do you know what the consequences will be if the ceremony is performed at the wrong time and with the wrong materials?"
Adele seemed to understand and said, "The ceremony failed?"
Adele is well-informed and knows the answer, but she is also keenly aware of Noita's desire to talk - she has done something very bad and wants to tell others about it.
At this time, Adele did not want to interrupt Noita's joy and was willing to listen to her.
Noita can find joy in this, and Adele can also learn about Noita's life elsewhere.
The interaction between the two people can be described in a more ambiguous way as: fun.
"It depends on the type of ritual. If it's a rain-praying ritual or a spell, it will cause the ritual to fail. However, for rituals like assimilation or armor-wearing, poor quality control of some materials won't hinder the ritual, but it's worse than failure."
Noita lowered her head, kissed Adele's jewel-colored eyes, and asked gently, "Can you imagine a scene where your arms become wings, but your weight and magical organs cannot support flying?"
Adele thought about it and felt a little scared.
After his hands turned into wings, he could neither handle the work nor hold Noita, and was just a burden.
"This is the consequence of using inferior materials for the assimilation ritual. You might extract the flaws of the corresponding monster. For example, if the monster is sick, and you perform the ritual with materials contaminated with the disease, you might gain power while also becoming sick. If you're greedy and perform the ritual with different flawed materials at the same time, if you're unlucky, you might not gain power at all, but instead acquire all the flaws."
"How tragic." Adele reached out and stroked Noita's cheek. "Is there any way to save her?"
"Of course there are. Whether it's the Backward Rebirth Potion or the Nirvana Fire, they can both restore a person to their most perfect state. However, these potions share one characteristic—they are extremely expensive. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them."
Noita couldn't help laughing when she thought about how she manipulated Vic to adulterate Wingard's materials, causing Wingard to become a monster in the end.
She lowered her head, hugged her treasure happily, and enjoyed the joy of being listened to.
At a certain moment, the appearance of the girl in his arms listening quietly seemed to overlap with the appearance of a friend.
Once upon a time, she had a follower in the game who accepted her willfulness unconditionally and even took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation in the game.
Noita blinked, and the vision of her friend disappeared. Adele still looked at her softly, smiling beautifully.
"Is there something dirty on my face?"
Adele touched her face, feeling a little embarrassed by Noita's gaze.
Noita smiled as usual and stroked the girl's forehead gently: "No, I was just thinking about how my little muse is so beautiful. You are so lucky that I discovered your beauty."
Adele seriously considered the logic behind Noita's words, and Er smiled and said, "Indeed, Noita, you must appreciate my beauty more in the future."
She smiled happily and felt that it was a blessing to be liked by Noita.
Noita looked at her innocent posture and smiled.
Adele reminded her of a poem.
There are creeping weeds in the wild, dripping with dew. There is a beautiful person, as gentle as the clear sky. We met by chance, and we will be together forever.
In the distance, at the investigative guard station, the guard members were busy collecting and organizing evidence of Wingard's crimes, preparing to hand them over to the court in the future.
Wingard has been killed. After transforming into an ugly form, he ran into the Investigation Guard. He was punished by the Investigation Guard for injuring guard members, refusing to cooperate with the investigation, and having an appearance that was not human-like, and died under the Thunder Sword.
After investigation by forensic doctors and investigators, it was confirmed that the monster was Wingard.
However, even though the person is dead, the matter cannot be resolved.
The Investigation Guard will nail him to the pillar of shame and will never allow such a villain to have any chance of turning his image around in the future.
Fei Xin was in poor condition. When she was found, she was dying and looked like she was about to die. Leah was scared to death and rushed her to the hospital.
Because of Fei Xin's tenacious will to survive, she miraculously survived, and her damaged internal organs began to slowly heal themselves under the powerful recovery power of the second level.
This is the tenacity of the second-level vitality. As long as you are not killed on the spot, you can recover to your peak state through patient recuperation after the battle. It will take some effort to break off your hands and feet, and you need to find a priest of the Mercy and Rescue Society to help grow a new hand or foot.
Fei Xin lives in a high-standard independent ward, her body wrapped like a dumpling. Many people come to visit her, but Xin Rui turns them all away.
Xinrui was personally responsible for her future care, to prevent this troublesome girl from seriously injuring herself again. It made people angry just by looking at her, but seeing her pitiful appearance made people angry and distressed, and they couldn't even curse her.
In the morning, Xinrui opened the window to ventilate the ward, then put her hand on Feixin's neck to sense her physical condition.
After a moment, Xinrui's brows relaxed, she retracted her fingers, and said with a forced smile, "He's recovering quite quickly. Judging from the trend, the bones will start to heal by the afternoon. He'll be able to walk tomorrow, and he'll be able to heal the day after tomorrow."
Fei Xin shrank her neck in fear. She was afraid that Xin Rui would speak in such a sarcastic tone.
Xinrui sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Feixin.
"You're still afraid, which is great. But I don't understand. Didn't you gain the favor of Elder Tianhai and rise to prominence? How could you be injured like this?"
"Being beaten by Elder Hengfeng."
"I knew your temper would anger the elders. Heh... No, who are you talking about?"
Xinrui looked as if she had expected this, but it took her a moment to realize that Feixin was not talking about Elder Tianhai, but Elder Hengfeng.
But the crux of the matter is that Elder Hengfeng died suddenly, and the outside world was reporting that Noita had replaced Elder Hengfeng.
Rumor has it that Noita killed Elder Hengfeng.
Xinrui frowned, feeling that there must be something fishy about this matter.
Chapter 342 Knowing and Not Knowing
"Elder Hengfeng unfortunately passed away last night due to unknown reasons. He has entered the realm of the gods and rests in peace." Doctor Xinrui looked at Feixin without blinking. Seeing the innocence in the poor girl's eyes, Xinrui put aside her suspicions and warned her, "If your injuries are indeed caused by Elder Hengfeng, it means you've been caught up in a conspiracy... Well, I'll find out the situation for you when I have time. For the time being, stay in the ward and don't go out to play."
Fei Xin nodded quietly, but her heart was in turmoil.
Hengfeng's arrogant and cold figure still flashed before her eyes. He was an enemy she could not defeat, but he died uneventfully last night.
Intuition grasped a clue from the chaotic thoughts. This matter was related to "Luo Xiweiya".
While Fei Xin was thinking to herself, Xin Rui's eyes fell on the flowers and condolences beside the bed and the stone sword leaning against the bed. She recalled the guests who came to visit, and none of them was the girl who had formed an indissoluble bond with Fei Xin that day.
Xinrui asked, "Where's Luo Xiweiya? Why is she the only one who didn't bring any fruit?"
"She's dead." Fei Xin said sadly.
Xinrui's smile froze. The sadness of life and death kept her from uttering any more teasing jokes. A gentle apology drifted through her like the wind: "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this."
Fei Xin raised her head and saw that Xin Rui's lips were tense, like a bowstring stretched to the limit, revealing sadness in her seriousness.
"It's okay." Fei Xin said, "I accept this fact. As for you, you've been busy all night, it's time to rest."
Xinrui frowned: "When I checked your condition last night, I confirmed that you were in a deep sleep. How did you know about me?"
"Even though Xinrui didn't say it, I know I'm quite important to you. If we weren't related by blood, I would have thought you were my parent." Feixin looked at the doctor with a smile, "Also, my body is only dormant, but my soul remains awake. So seeing you and the other doctors helping me piece together my bones, it must be very stressful."
"Are you still troubled by nightmares?"
Xinrui was extremely puzzled: "Didn't you say you and Lady Noita reconciled? Why do you still dream about her?"
When Xinrui learned that her idol and Fei Xin had forgotten their grudges, she was probably happier than the two parties involved, because it meant that she could single-handedly defeat Noita without any psychological pressure, and Fei Xin could also have a rare good sleep.
But now Fei Xin said that she was still troubled by nightmares, which made Xin Rui feel a little guilty again.
"Nightmare is not Lord Noita's curse, but a demon in my heart made up of pain, powerlessness, and shame. I cannot cross this threshold on my own."
"So you actually still hate Noita?"
"No, I should thank her. She taught me what it means to be weak and powerless. I only hate myself for not pursuing strength sooner. Now nightmares are my inner demons and my cowardice. I need to defeat her to prove my progress."
Fei Xin imitated "Luo Xiweiya" and raised her head, saying confidently, "I have a feeling that as long as I can defeat the nightmare, the road to transcendence will be smooth and unobstructed."
She was full of fighting spirit, which made Xinrui secretly relieved.
She was really worried that Fei Xin and Noita would fight to the death. If that happened, Fei Xin would not only become Noita's enemy, but might also anger Elder Tianhai, who was mediating. That would be a deadly situation.
"It's good that you have confidence. If you really become an elder, I will be under your management. Don't forget to increase my benefits."
"it is good."
Fei Xin took note of the joke and watched Xin Rui leave.
There was only one person left in the ward. Even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly in the empty room. Fei Xin felt the silence and listened to her own heartbeat. She felt the deep sadness beating with her heart, like water wrapping around her heart, and every expansion and contraction triggered a resonance of sadness.
The resonance made her chest feel tight and her stomach ache.
Fei Xin closed her eyes and meditated, trying to get rid of the sadness, but when she closed her eyes, tears naturally flowed down and escaped from her eyes.
She blames herself.
It has nothing to do with love, it's just pure self-blame and regret.
Fei Xin didn't want to know what Wei Ya's death had taken away from her heart. She just wanted to cry, cry in a voice that would make others notice her condition.
But she made no sound, just shed tears silently.
A finger touched Fei Xin's cheek at an inopportune moment, wiping away the salty tears.
Koulan, who had quietly arrived, looked at the tears and asked in confusion, "Why don't you cry out loud? Isn't it quite painful for humans to suppress their emotions and desires?"
"I can't cry. I can't show weakness." Fei Xin said, suppressing her tears. "This pain will become a scar on me. It's a lesson I must remember. From now on, I won't let anyone who is less capable participate in events that don't match their abilities."
"I will use them to sharpen my soul and willpower. If I cry out loud, the pain will escape with the sound."
"Next time...next time I will never lose, and I will never let my friend make the same mistake again."
Koulan was stunned for a moment, and wiped her tears back onto the girl's face.
She saw tears dripping from the eyes of the sad girl who was as sad as stone, and pain surged in her heart. Self-blame, regret and other complex emotions mixed together, slowly gathering into a scar engraved on her soul.
It would give her strength, sharpen her will, and make her taste the bitter regret day after day.
It's like self-torture.
But Koulan didn't like Fei Xin's behavior.
She asked gently, "Do you love Wei Ya? Is that why you blame yourself for her death? Will this lead to self-destructive tendencies?"
If Fei Xin answered in the affirmative, Koulan would tell her the truth, which might lead to further escalation of the situation and might also make the girl full of hatred for being fooled, but it is better than hurting herself without knowing the truth.
"I don't love her, but... My Lord, she is my friend, and she could have survived. If I had attacked Wingard alone, perhaps the situation would have been very different. The crosswind would at most destroy my body, but it would not choose to kill me."
"She suffered this misfortune because of my negligence and my complacency. I must remember this lesson and not let others make the same mistake."
She didn't admit love.
Trust her for now.
Koulan looked at the girl and asked with a smile, "Will this sadness prevent you from becoming stronger?"
"No, it will only make me stronger."
"Okay, Fei Xin, I'll give you a month to prepare. After a month, I'll hold a promotion ceremony for you, unique to the Knights of the Succession. If you successfully pass the ceremony, I'll tell you an interesting piece of information."
Koulan left to prepare for important events.
In the distance, in the Sky Patrol's embassy, Micah was sulking in the tower, pacing back and forth with heavy footsteps.
She complained to Meng Ya, "How could such a wicked person exist? She's a transcendent yet she has no moral principles and even deceives little girls! If such a scum were to live in the era of Doudoutian, I would have crushed her to dust a hundred times over!"
Meng Ya said lazily, "Fei Xin has chosen to become Serkar's successor knight. She probably won't become a Sky Patroller anymore. Why should you worry about her anymore?"
Micah puffed up his cheeks and stared at Mengya.
