Soul echo

Chapter 470 Communication
"In addition to these things, you should have found other things, right?"

Hearing these words, the smiles on the faces of the clergy became brighter.

The priests of the Church of Knowledge especially like smart people, and talking to smart people can save them a lot of saliva.

And Zhong Ye is such a smart person, he guessed many things even without their explanation.

Lily and Lilian didn't speak, but their eyes were filled with doubt and surprise.

In their eyes, the amount of information that the clergy and Zhong Ye said was already quite huge, but there were other things that they didn't say?
"Yes, we've also investigated other things."

The clergyman nodded and said cheerfully: "Now, we basically confirm that the number of mind eaters may not be as many as we imagined."

Zhong Ye was slightly taken aback, then frowned, "What do you mean?"

"From Chartres to the entire territory of the Rhine Kingdom, their transformation technology has been improving in recent decades. However, after our investigation and research, we found that although they have invented stable transformation rituals, in fact, their There are not as many as we thought."

The cleric who was in charge of receiving Zhong Ye and the others turned around and took several sorted documents from other clerics, and handed them to Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye flipped through the documents in his hand, and his train of thought gradually became clear.

While Zhong Ye was flipping through the information, the priests continued to talk: "They dare not confront us on the bright side, because compared to hallucinogens, even the dirtiest and most filthy thieves' guilds will not tolerate their existence. After all, they can replace others and survive in society as others, and no one knows whether their loved ones will be replaced, and no one dares to put themselves in an environment full of danger and suspicion."

This is the truth, not to mention those gloomy Thieves Guild members, Lily doesn't want to live in such an environment.

"So, Mind Eater has been developing secretly, and we estimate that they don't have many altars—I mean the altars that have been improved.

"According to our previous investigation, we can deduce why the locations of those altars were exposed by the 'undead'."

Speaking of which, the smiles on the faces of the clergy disappeared, and their expressions and tone became quite serious: "The erosion of the abyss to our world has further increased. For some reason, the erosion under the crown of the moon god is getting worse and worse. , the magic power overflowed, leading to the resurrection of the undead...

"We teamed up with some mages to investigate the altars, and found that the technology of the altars around Chartres is relatively backward. According to the formula, those altars can only allow a person's soul to have the characteristics of a heart eater, and his body needs to be discarded, but In the altars of Bourges and Auxerre, they can already sublimate a person's soul and body, so that it is much more convenient to deal with the tail."

Having said so much, the clergy didn't mention the main point, but Lily and Lilian were not in a hurry. They knew very well that only by understanding the background of these things can they understand what happened.

"However, to manufacture such an altar, we need to choose a secret location that will not be easily investigated by others, because they not only dare not confront our church directly, but also dare not contact the Thieves Guild, this is one of them.

"Secondly, mithril is needed to make that kind of altar, and there are a lot of mithril, but the output of mithril on the market is only so much. We confirmed with the members of the commercial church that the mithril that may be taken by the heart eater is probably only Accounted for one eightyth of the total production of mithril over the years, even if they collected objects containing mithril for melting, they still couldn't support the blooming of altars everywhere.

"Third, the forcibly transformed Mind Eater can disobey the orders of other Mind Eaters, just like the little vampire you rescued in Bourges, Your Excellency Zhong Ye, even if there is only a little 'noise', for the Mind Eater Collectively speaking, it is unacceptable. They may use their own consciousness and thinking to gradually erode the will of the transformed person, but the gain outweighs the loss.

"In the end, it is also the biggest failure that Mind Eaters made when they were trying to reproduce and preparing for escape. They used religious methods to run their organizations and implanted the talents of 'Outstanding Contributors' into their believers. The concept of sublimation and the qualification to be integrated with 'God' has been deeply ingrained in the minds of believers, even if they themselves say 'anyone can become a part of my Lord', those who have been brainwashed Believers will not listen to them, but use the 'faith' that has become part of the Three Views to hypnotize themselves.

"To sum up, we don't think there are many Mind Eaters. On the contrary, their total number should not exceed five thousand."

Mind Eater has a part in the Kingdom of Gaul, and part in the Kingdom of the Rhine. Although I don't know if there are other countries, the number of 'five thousand' is like a few drops of water falling into the ocean, and it is difficult to distinguish.

If released separately, this number is quite large, but they obviously will not gather in one place.

"In this case, how should we completely eliminate them?" Zhong Ye finally raised his head from the information file and asked, "You should have thought about this issue, right?"

"Yes, we have indeed thought about it." The clergyman nodded earnestly, "It is difficult to say that it is difficult to destroy the group of mind eaters, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy-we believe that in order to completely eliminate them, we need to eliminate those intentions." Gather power in our world and escape from the mind eaters here.

"This kind of consciousness dominates the group of 'Mind Eaters'. If there is no such consciousness, the harm of Mind Eaters will be greatly reduced. At least the remaining Mind Eaters will not think of dedicating the entire town. Crazy idea to sacrifice."

Hearing this, Zhong Ye suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Just now you said that forcibly transforming humans into Mind Eaters will cause 'noise' in their group, which is unacceptable to them, then , And why do they have the idea of ​​transforming an entire town's residents into Mind Eaters?
"And they want to transform more than one town. Schwenningen, Tübingen, Stuttgart... and even Frankfurt are all in their plans. Frankfurt is the largest of these towns and has the largest population, with 10,000+ people. Add up other towns, at least 25.

"Do they want to transform the people in these towns to make things difficult for themselves?"

The priest frowned and said in a deep voice: "We have also thought about these issues, but when we used the magic to interrogate the Mind Eater we caught, the feedback given to us by the magic was that it was telling the truth— ——'Forcible transformation will cause noise among the group' is true!

"As for why they want to spend so much time transforming the humans in these towns... We are also very puzzled, but no one can give us an answer for the time being."

"You have been deceived!"

Zhong Ye was merciless, "Divine arts are not omnipotent. For example, if that Mind Eater used the truth to cover up his real purpose, how could the divine arts react?"

"This..." The priest hesitated slightly.

After thinking for a while, he sighed: "No... Divine magic can only help us verify the truth of its statements, it can't help us analyze so many things."

"The 'noise' thing may be true, but for them, the consequences are not that serious."

After speaking, Zhong Ye paused.

Then, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "And I think that Mind Eater must have a 'dominant will', especially after I fought against a Mind Eater aggregate in Stuttgart, I confirmed this even more. "

That Mind Eater aggregate was indeed not a 'god', but afterwards, Zhong Ye also felt something strange, and then speculated that 'there might be something controlling the Mind Eater'.

"If you want to completely eliminate the Heart Eater, I think you need to start from this point."
