Chapter 190: The Records of the Book of Human Skin (There are plans for the next update after the text)
With Leviathan's help, Xue Hua easily walked out of the castle's basement.
Before leaving the castle wreckage, he ordered the swarm to get out of the entire castle with everything of value.
These things made of gold and precious stones are wasted to stay here, and it is better to let them use them to improve their lives.
He was about to leave for Rogue and, according to some merchants, the cost of living in the desert city, known as the Pearl of the East, was much higher than that of Camp Rogue.
Although the swarm has also unearthed a number of scattered high-value ore veins in the Barrier Mountains, such as gold mines, the common settlement currency in the Sanctuary world is the special gold coins that have been exploded from the monsters of the Hell.
This gold coin just looks like gold, but it's actually a special manifestation of the energy of hell.
As for why the infernal energy takes on the form of currency......
This kind of paradox is not in his hands, so let those scholars study it slowly.
Therefore, in this world, gold veins are far less valuable than in previous lives, and the only value of gold is to use it as a substrate for casting jewelry to meet the needs of some nobles.
The greatest value of the remnants of the castle wreckage of the Bathory family is not their own material, but their historical value, and many of the nobles of Rugoin are willing to pay a lot of money to collect these relics of the ancient aristocracy.
Sadly, the Bartoli family's library and library had been completely destroyed by the collapse of the castle, and even if there was an occasional book or two left, the pages of the paper had decayed, shattering into confetti at the slightest touch.
Otherwise, these books are the most valuable treasures.
Except, of course, that horrible human skin book made entirely out of a baby's scalp.
Thinking of this book, Xue Hua couldn't help frowning, and his intuition told him that the specific discovery and use process of the wreckage belonging to the Star Spirit ship found in the basement of the castle should be recorded in detail in this book.
But when he thought of the material of the book, he was disgusted and said that he didn't want to touch it, so he had to ask a worm mother to read it to him on the way back to the base of the mountain.
The insect mother has a high IQ and of course has the ability to read, so Xue Hua quickly learned the specific content of this book.
As he thought, this book was a record of the major events that had happened in the Bathory family.
Among them, the largest part of the article is the reaction of the Bathory family after the wreck of the Star Spirit ship was discovered.
- They did regard the "meteor" that fell from the sky as some kind of apocalypse, and the only "meteor" that they could interpret the contents of the recorder was regarded by them as a prophecy.
This book records the changes in the entire family when the Bathory family learned of this so-called "prophecy", and this book basically began to be written at that time, while adding page numbers.
The Bathory family hid the wreckage of the entire Star Spirit ship and secretly sacrificed it there.
This kind of sacrificial activity slowly became more and more crazy under the impetus of the radical faction in the family, and the sacrifice also changed from the first livestock, to the bloody human sacrifice and even infant sacrifice.
Eventually, on the eve of the invasion of the army of Hell, the entire Bathory family has been driven crazy by their own fantasies, and they have begun to become like demons, hating order, advocating chaos, and seeing killing as the only way to survive.
This change in the values of the whole family has become the fuse for them to finally become enchanted.
Of course, these things are nothing new to Xue Hua, and he has already guessed them in the basement.
However, what intrigued him the most was the information revealed by the human skin book at the end.
At the end, the human skin book records that before they were infected with demons, they had planned to give the remains of an "angel" found in the "altar" as a certificate of surrender to the Hell Demon King as a promotion capital for the entire family, but this so-called "angelic remains" turned into a bright blue light the moment they were carried out of the "altar" and disappeared directly.
The "Holy Altar" in this record naturally refers to the wreckage of the Star Spirit Ship, so of course Xue Hua knew that there could be no "angelic remains" in it.
If there was really such a skeleton in there at that time, it would only be the remains of the star spirit!
It is very likely that this remains belonged to the Astral Warrior who was in charge of guarding the Beacon Storage Warehouse at the time.
It's a pity... This storage bin obviously has the function of storing the corpse of the star spirit, but when these idiot nobles take the corpse of the star spirit out of the storage warehouse, the body of the star spirit is directly teleported to another direction in an instant due to its characteristics.
As for whether the soul returned to Kara or was picked up by the main force of the Star Spirit......
Then no one knows.
It's just that the dark universe and the interstellar universe are two different universes, and even the Golden Fleet must not have the ability to pull people across the walls of the universe, right?
However, although the body is gone, the equipment of the Star Spirit Warrior has been left behind, and this set of equipment is given to Hell by the Bathory family as evidence of killing the angel.
Of course, Hell didn't buy them at all.
Because although this equipment is indeed very similar to the heavenly creation in terms of style, the demons who have fought with the angels for so many years can still see at a glance that this is not the equipment of the angels at all.
But in the end, the Bathory family still proved their determination to become enchanted with cruel practical actions, and the three demon gods of hell at that time also needed such an example to break the will of human resistance, so the Bathory family was finally given demon blood by the demon gods and joined the demon camp as they wished.
As for that so-called "angel outfit"?
No one knows its final whereabouts.
That's all there is to it in the Skin Book, and all that's left is madman's gibberish mixed with demonic language and human lingua franca, and it must have reached this point where all the members of the Bathory family have lost all normal human minds and begun to transform into demons.
Seeing this, Xue Hua shook his head, asked the worm mother to put away the human skin book, record the contents of the book, and then find a time to burn it, so as to comfort those souls who had suffered such painful torture from birth.
The content of the star spirits recorded in this book still found him very interesting.
I don't know what class of Templars were sent to protect the Beacon Storage at the time, if it was just an ordinary fanatic, it would be fine, but if it was a high-level Templar......
That armor makes a lot of sense.
You must know that the high-ranking Templars of the Star Spirit are a group of fanatical believers, and they will play the trick of self-sacrifice at every turn on the battlefield.
As soon as you see that the situation is not good, the two high-level templars will combine and transform into archons to scare you.
If the consuls can't even scare you.
Then blow yourself up...... (See Void Legacy CG for details)
So basically none of them were captured, and they rarely even got equipment, and they were all annihilated in the raging psionic storm when they merged.
As a result, the Zerg did not have that much detailed information about the Star Spirit High Templars.
It's not even as detailed as the knowledge of the main force of the Starling's golden fleet - aircraft carriers.
If that gear is really a high-tier Templar equipment.
Of course, Xue Hua would be very interested.
However, this matter cannot be confirmed at all now, and even if it is confirmed, Xue Hua has nowhere to find it.
Therefore, the information can only be recorded for the time being, and it can be included in the secondary objectives of the swarm.
