Chapter 1026: The First Plague of Madness
Until Claude came out to bow to Vivien, Hao Ren didn't react.
In fact, Vivien herself didn't react.
Except for Claude and Mimir, everyone's three views basically collapsed into slag!
Hao Ren couldn't have calculated that things would develop like this, and after Mimir's memories went around in a circle, he realized that the vampire ancestor in front of him, who was poor every day, who couldn't open the pot, whose greatest happiness in life was to eat well, and who had been wandering around in a mess for 10,000 years, actually had a close relationship with the witchers far beyond imagination, they should have been mortal enemies, but in ancient times......
This poor ghost is revered as the fourteenth saint of the witchers!
A vampire, the fourteenth saint of the witchers! Because it's important, it must be repeated.
She is the "cross-clan friend" of the Thirteen Saints, the senior master of the Demon Hunter when he was still weak, and even the "Colpers" alternate space, which is now used as a base camp by the Demon Hunters, was given to them by Vivien as a gift!
However, Vivien had completely forgotten all about it, and even the witcher himself seemed to have forgotten about it, which was the most incomprehensible to Hao Ren. The former is okay to say, after all, everyone knows Vivien's brain, but how can the witcher explain it? Although the old guys in the ancient era are almost dead, there is not a single one left, right? Even if there really isn't a single one left, it won't even leave a word, right? How can it be said that he is also the "Fourteenth Saint" of his own race, and he has not even left a single record?
Hao Ren can think of this, of course everyone else can think of it, and even Lily has a serious face - but the most characteristic of the husky race is that their faces are serious all the time. So it's hard to tell if the girl is wandering or thinking about it. Anyway, Yitzax spoke: "What happened next?" How did this situation come about? ”
Mimir's voice continued to ring in everyone's heads, and this time it was obvious that he was explaining to Vivien, "Old friend. That was more than 6,000 years ago, and you don't remember it anymore. In fact, even I didn't know about these things at first, and I only learned about them after I was brought here and came into contact with the twelve 'saints' for a long time, so some of the things will probably be different. As far as I know, you were indeed the first discoverer of Colpers, and I didn't even know you at the time. You led the unsettled witchers to a place where they could live in peace, and although Colpers didn't have a 'land' in the ordinary sense compared to other realms, it served as a stable and safe base camp. It couldn't be better. The witchers soon made the space their home and, as you might imagine, began to explore the ancient secrets of Colpers.
"Colpers has been a huge benefit to them. Before this, the witchers were only a fairly weak race, but after acquiring Colpers, they began to have a stable place to study their powers, began to be able to train and train stronger tribal warriors, and more importantly, they began to unearth all kinds of powerful legacies in this alien dimension.
"Although most of the excavations are elusive and unusable, energy is extracted from the relics only in the form of primitive crude benzene. It's enough to make the witcher strong. And just like that, everything looks good.
"Until they found something in a temple that shouldn't be touched."
Hao Ren blurted out: "That sword?!" ”
"That's right, the sword," Mimir lowered his eyes. "Fourteen leaders of the witchers, including Vivien, found the sword. It was discarded haphazardly in the corner of a temple, and its strange materials and appearance immediately caught their attention. Although it looks unremarkable. But the sword seemed to have magical power to draw the fourteen saints together. After some controversy, the fourteen saints disagreed on the handling of the sword.
"Vivien is cautious. So she felt that this weapon of unknown origin should be sealed.
The thirteen saints felt that the sword would give the witchers even more power, just like the other legacies in the ruins.
"Finally. Bedolis' instinctive hunch played a decisive role: he visioned a prosperous future for witchers in a vision, and that was the result of the power of the Dark Sword. So what happened next was logical: the opinion of the fourteenth saint was dismissed, and the thirteen saints performed a ritual to extract power from the sword of darkness. ”
Bai Huo stared at this and gasped: "The same thing happened like this time?" ”
The corners of Mimir's mouth drooped: "No, it's worse. The situation of the second madness plague is that only the Elder Order and the Holy Order remain in Colpers, and most of the witchers have already branched out all over the world, so only some of them are infected, and you will still have a battle to fight after you arrive here, and the number of witchers during the first madness was far less numerous than it is now, and the gate seal of Colpers was far less tight than it is now. In the first frenzied plague, almost all the demon hunters were concentrated in the other dimension, and the moment the ritual was executed, the entire race was affected. ”
"Where was I?" Vivien asked.
"You left Colpers," Mimir looked up, "and you were angry, so you left, but then you were not at ease, so you came back and looked - only to find that something was wrong." ”
"How did you solve it?" Vivien frowned, "Can I do it alone?" ”
"You are indeed alone," Mimir replied in the affirmative, "from the memories I read from the brainwaves of the twelve saints, at that time you had a secret way that could directly dive into the Spiritual Clock Tower - this is normal, after all, this space was the first to be discovered. When all the witchers were affected by the plague of madness and completely lost control and turned into a mess, you took advantage of the chaos to enter the ceremonial hall and interrupt the ritual of the thirteen saints. The shock of the ritual break takes a heavy toll on them, so you fight everyone on your own, and after days of fighting, they finally come to their senses—and they come to their senses—and they come to their senses—and they come to their senses.
"And in the fierce battle, the patriarch of the demon hunter, the first saint, was directly irradiated by the red moon, her soul was almost completely torn apart, her vitality was depleted, and she died a few years later."
Mimir said here to take a break to give everyone a time to think and buffer, and Vivien broke the silence after a few seconds: "So the First Saint actually died at my hands...... So what happened after that? How did the hunt start? Why didn't the current witchers know about the 'Fourteen Saints' at all? ”
"The Scourge of Frenzy is over, but it has completely transformed the race of witchers," Mimir sighed, "You all know that the races on this planet have hostile instincts against each other, and the Plague of Frenzy has magnified the dark side of the witchers' hearts. They were originally conservative and cautious, but after the disaster, everyone's minds were cleansed, the vast majority of people's memories were distorted, their way of thinking was subverted, and they were full of anger, and although the vendetta between their own race was over, their anger was transferred to the other race. And just like that, the hunt began. ”
This is the truth of the witchers' declaration of war on all the supernatural races in the world - their innate hostility to the aliens is magnified exponentially!
Hao Ren suddenly remembered the soldiers of the Order of Elders who had been captured earlier—those warriors who had fallen into a frenzy of "purifying heretics" and who were still conscious, but who were crazy in their words and deeds, and who could not hesitate to swing their butcher's knives at their compatriots. Six thousand years ago, before the witchers began their first hunt, Colpers also had such a "big pollution". The contamination was single-handedly stopped by Vivien, but her stop was not perfect: the reverberation of the Godkiller Sword still transformed the witchers' mindset, "evolving" their innate hostile instinct with other aliens into a hunting instinct, and more deadly, instilled in them an idea:
Heresy must be purified.
So, in the name of purifying heretics, the hunt began.
"Their memories have been cleansed, haven't they?" Vivien frowned, "Otherwise they wouldn't know about me......"
"This is the weirdest part of the whole affair: their memories have not been completely cleansed, in fact erased...... Only about your memory part," Mimir's eyes fixed on Vivien, "there's a complicated curse that has befallen this place: most of the ordinary witchers have completely forgotten about Vivien?" Ansesta matter, the saints have survived the memory purge with their strength, they still have memories of you in the depths of their consciousness, but they can't mention your name and related deeds, there are some of the oldest books in this tower that still have information about your time as the fourteenth saint, but no one can read them, and a few of the witchers who survived the first madness still have vague memories of those years, but they all died in accidents while trying to say your name. Later the twelve saints realized one thing: it was not the witcher who was cursed, but Vivien? The name Ansesta.
"You have been erased from the memories of the witchers, from the time you first became acquainted with their leader, until the outbreak of the Plague of Madness, everything about you has been shrouded in dark forces."
“…… That sword didn't kill me back then, so it killed my name......" Vivien was dumbfounded and muttered to herself, "Sure enough, that thing is exactly the ...... for the Goddess of Creation" (to be continued.) )
