#2537 - reason
“Testing?”
Hearing this, Fang Heng was immediately intrigued and asked, “What kind of test is it about?”
“It's about the absorption of other Demon Seeds. On one hand, we need to assist the Jealousy Demon Seed in sealing several weaker Demon Seeds. On the other hand, we need to assist the Jealousy Demon Seed's divided self, helping him test how to extract power from other Demon Seeds for his own use, thereby achieving permanent sealing and control over other Demon Seeds.”
Fernant took a deep breath, “Because the Jealousy Demon Seed, Esekrina, possesses extremely vast energy, her direct entry into this world would crush and shatter the entire world. Therefore, she can only divide a portion of her own power to descend into this world and personally guide the test.”
Ruan Ziying also heard these secrets about the Demon Seeds for the first time and couldn't help but ask, “Guild Leader Fernant, why do the Demon Seeds have to choose to test here? Can't they test in the world where the Demon Seeds are located?”
“I'm not sure about the point you mentioned, but according to my guess, it may be because the risk is too great. We only seal a small part of the Demon Seeds' power here. Even if something goes wrong, we can maintain overall control. If something goes wrong outside, the Jealousy Demon Seed would probably have a headache as well.”
Ruan Ziying nodded upon hearing this, feeling that it made sense.
“The three Sages who founded the Esoteric Association agreed to the Demon Seed's condition, cooperating with the Demon Seed in this world to assist the Demon Seed in completing various tests, gradually gaining control over the power of the other sealed Demon Seeds.”
“But soon, the three Sages realized the problem.”
“As the aura of the Jealousy Demon Seed leaked into this world, more and more ordinary people were constantly affected by the pollution, producing a large number of Fallen Ones and followers of the Demon Seed.”
“The three Sages quickly realized that if this situation continued, it would probably plunge the entire world into disaster, completely controlled by the Demon Seed of Jealousy.”
“So, the three secretly reached an agreement and secretly summoned the mysterious object - the Primordial Beginning through esoteric means, obtaining the crafting method of the Demon Binding Chains that could seal hellish demons from the mouth of the Primordial Beginning.”
“After spending several years to complete the forging of the Demon Binding Chains, the three Sages worked together to seal the Demon Seed while the Jealousy Demon Seed was conducting experiments, and then locked it in the tower of the Star Tower.”
“Although the Jealousy Demon Seed's divided self has been sealed, its pollution still constantly contaminates this world. In every generation, there will be people who cannot resist the temptation of the devil and become followers of the Demon Seed.”
“In addition, with the opening of the world's shackles, this world is also more easily invaded by the power of the external world. Our Esoteric Association has also been constantly attacked from the outside. I think this may be the price we have to pay.”
Fernant sighed as he said, “In order to obtain the power to break through esotericism, we have been paying the price, and we have never been able to completely eliminate the divided self of the Demon Seed of Jealousy.”
“In order to prevent the spread of pollution from becoming more serious, the three Sages set down some rules for the Esoteric Association Alliance before their death. This is also why the outside world has always called us the Old Guard.”
Listening to Fernant's story from beginning to end, Yu Jia Yuan's heart suddenly turned cold.
Great.
After going around in a big circle, they still didn't get any useful clues.
If they want to solve the pollution in their body, they still have to fight the Demon Seed.
How could they possibly win!
Fang Heng keenly captured a clue.
“Guild Leader Fernant, what is the Primordial Beginning?”
“According to records, the Primordial Beginning is a great being of wisdom from another world. We can obtain some information from its mouth through the exchange of items.”
So the Demon Binding Chains really exist!
And it's effective against the divided self of the Demon Seed!
This coincides with the information obtained from Narlier, the president of the Reformist Society.
Fang Heng's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask, “Is the crafting method of the Demon Binding Chains still preserved?”
“It should be preserved in the database.”
Fernant looked at Fang Heng and asked, “The Jealousy Demon Seed has already been eliminated, do we still need it?”
It's definitely not garbage.
It might be useful. First, find a way to trick the crafting method out of them!
“Okay, I will immediately have someone go back to organize it. If you need anything, you are welcome to come to the headquarters of the Esoteric Association at any time. I will have someone prepare all the information about the Demon Binding Chains for you in advance.”
“Thank you. If it's convenient, I'll return to the headquarters of the Esoteric Association with you now.”
Fang Heng cupped his fist at Fernant.
At present, the entire Vazquez event mission has been completely completed, and there are no new missions that can be triggered later.
What's strange is that he had already prepared a reminder that he would be chased by the Holy Court Sanctuary halfway.
But these days have been unusually quiet.
What happened to the Sanctuary?
Was the last injury really that serious?
Or did they give up the chase?
Since the Sanctuary hasn't come after him yet, he can continue to stay in Vazquez for a while.
First, follow them to the Esoteric Association to get the crafting method of the Demon Binding Chains.
By the way, if there is more time, he can also collect the rewards for academic advancement.
Anyway, the advancement mission can be interrupted at any time.
If the people from the Sanctuary suddenly come to his door during this period, it will not be too late to interrupt the advancement at that time.
Let's get to work!
......
Eight days later.
The top floor of the Black Mage Tower of the Esoteric Society.
[Hint: The player has completed the Esoteric Advancement Course. The player's current Natural Studies has advanced to Master Level (LV: 1). The original skill, High-Level Natural Studies, has been deleted].
Fang Heng checked the game prompt, recovered from his meditation state, and opened his eyes again.
During these eight days, he had been staying in the Esoteric Society to work on academic skills.
Advancing to Master Level in the Esoteric Society has extra compensation rewards, and it only takes half the time to complete the advancement. Therefore, Fang Heng chose to advance to Master Level in Esotericism, Master Level in Alchemy, and Master Level in Natural Studies in academics.
After all, Esotericism, in addition to having extra efficiency rewards for learning, can also improve the strength of various academics. It can be regarded as a versatile skill and can be used.
Alchemy can also be used in many occasions, and the effect is even better when combined with the All-Knowing Eye.
As for choosing Natural Studies as the last type of academic to advance...
The main reason is that the remaining other academics are stuck in the intermediate level and cannot meet the conditions.
Although Holy Studies is at a high level, it cannot be advanced through the Esoteric Society.
So only Natural Studies was left to advance to Master Level.
Anyway, the biggest purpose is to obtain attribute strength.
