Chapter 539: Induction of the Curse
Valley of the Dead Eagles, inside the bedroom of Rahman's Mausoleum.
In the dim and cold small tomb, Dorothy in a long robe was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the tomb. She had originally closed her eyes in concentration, but now she slowly opened her eyes. She had now completed the remote communication using the consultation channel and obtained some key information about the spirit shamans from Capac and Uta of the Continent.
"The shaman's path, the soul-guided path, I see, this is the basic appearance of the extraordinary figure of the great 'silence'..."
Dorothy opened her eyes and touched her chin, thinking thoughtfully. According to Uta, the shamanic path followed by their indigenous shamans for generations is also known as the soul-guiding path. It is an extraordinary path aimed at communicating, comforting, guiding, and burying souls.
The extraordinary people of the Soul Guiding Path are soul guides. Compared with the extraordinary people of the other "Silent" Paths, they have stronger attraction and control over souls. They can easily appease the manic resentful spirits and control a large number of souls. They can bring souls to the netherworld. Other "Silent" extraordinary people can only summon souls slowly, but they have more efficient spiritual communication. They have a natural affinity for special spirits such as wilderness spirits, and their soul language is also more powerful and can easily communicate with various spirits. They are the messengers who guide souls. In terms of their ability to control spirits, they are obviously stronger than other "Silent" Paths.
Most of the extraordinary people in the Soul Guiding Branch are shamans from the indigenous tribes of the continent. These shamans dominate one tribe after another on the continent and rely on the master-apprentice relationship to maintain inheritance. All the shamans form an alliance that is much looser than the White Stonemason Union. This alliance is so loose that there is no specific name among the shamans. Only some extraordinary scholars who have studied the indigenous people of the continent named this alliance Shamanism.
Although the status of the shamans in this alliance varies, as long as they are not in the same tribe, they are not subordinate to each other and only respect each other. There is no clear superior-subordinate relationship among the shamans, and the senior shamans have no right to constrain the lower-level shamans to force them to do anything. The only authority of the shamans is the gathering called "Wild Sacrifice". Every once in a while, the shamans from different regions of the continent will gather in their respective regions to hold ceremonies, worship the powerful local wilderness spirits, and discuss together to make some decisions that affect the development and survival of the local tribes. This kind of wilderness sacrifice is held about every five days, and in contrast, there is also a "Great Wild Sacrifice", which is a grand gathering of shaman representatives selected by each region, bringing together representatives from all parties of the entire continent, and only once every ten days. From the intervals between these gatherings, it can be seen how low the organization of shamanism is.
Although Shamanism is not very loose, it adheres to a unified ancient precept called the Spiritual Path, which is said to be the teachings of the Great Spirit. This ancient precept regulates the use of the Shamans' abilities and also shapes the traditions and taboos of Shamanism.
In ancient teachings, shamanism believes that all souls are part of the Great Soul, and all souls are sacred. Except for the wild spirits with special missions and their subordinate spirits, the souls of any life should return to the netherworld and the Great Soul after death. Even the wild spirits and spirits, when they are tired of their duties or willing to return to peace, need to accept the call of the Great Soul and leave. The most qualified spirit will inherit the position of the wild spirit.
According to the philosophy of Shamanism, no soul other than wild spirits and spirits should stay in the world, and Shamans are obliged to lead them to the netherworld. Because the soul is sacred, any behavior of using extraordinary power to control the soul for one's own use is taboo and a taboo in Shamanism.
It can be said that Shamanism is an organization that worships the comfort and burial of souls. In the eyes of Shamanism, any undead creatures and ghosts are things that should not exist and violate the normal path of the soul and should be saved. The extraordinary people who deliberately capture and create ghosts and undead creatures and use their power are evil people and should be wiped out.
According to this theory, basically all other "silent" creatures in the main continent are evil, especially the Order of the Underworld. They not only enslave and control souls and create undead creatures, but also refine and extract souls into spirituality, which is simply an unforgivable behavior in the cognition of shamanism. Therefore, the Underworld Order is called "blasphemers" by shamanism. With the intensification of the colonization activities of the main continent countries on the Hell Continent in recent years, the Hell Coffin's interference in the abundant soul resources of the Hell Continent has become more and more serious. Therefore, the shamans of the entire Hell Continent are quite hostile to the Order of the Underworld. Shamanism fights against the Hell Coffin, but is also affected by it.
Because Shamanism lacks an organizational structure and is too loose, they lack the means to counter the influence of the Order of the Underworld. As a result, in the past few decades, a large number of shamans have abandoned their ancient teachings under the influence of the Underworld and accepted the ideas of the Order of the Underworld to make the best use of souls.
These shamans who have abandoned the teachings of the shamanic doctrine regard themselves as the masters of the souls, and use their control over the souls to easily enslave the souls and create the dead, and even devour the souls through their own attraction to the souls. Because they have lost their reverence for the souls, they no longer respect and help the spirits in the wilderness in the form of contracts and reciprocity, but directly control and enslave them, and the spirits in the wilderness have become their practice materials. Their actions seriously deviate from the traditional shamanic doctrine, so they also separated themselves and called themselves the Wuling Cult. The current Wuling Cult is essentially a subordinate faction of the Nether Coffin Order.
The names of the extraordinary people in the soul-guiding branch are very simple in Shamanism, namely Shaman disciples, Shamans, and Great Shamans. In the hidden world of the main continent, they are called soul comforters, soul summoners, and soul-controlling masters. Kapak has officially become a shaman disciple in a ceremony not long ago, Uta is a shaman, and the one who is now facing Dorothy is obviously a great shaman.
The Great Shaman has a powerful ability to control souls. He can easily control a large number of spirits to banish the enemy's spirits, and he can also attract and devour souls. He can instantly summon wild spirits and other special spirits without arranging magic circles in advance. He can use his own spirituality to strengthen the souls he controls. The more powerful souls he can control, the stronger his combat power. For example, if the extraordinary figures of the Path of Relying on the Body strengthen themselves with the collected souls, then the extraordinary figures of the Path of Guiding Souls use themselves to strengthen the collected souls, and their combat method is closer to that of a summoner... In Dorothy's opinion, the extraordinary figures of "Silence" are more or less like Pokémon trainers.
Sitting cross-legged against the wall, Dorothy was seriously thinking about the intelligence she had just obtained from Capac, and thinking about the countermeasures against the great shaman outside the door. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the other party was difficult to deal with.
'The two wilderness spirits controlled by the great shaman have both physical and spiritual suppression power. The physical sand lizard not only has strong offensive capabilities and can control the area, but also ensures that the shaman is not threatened by physical damage... For now, the only means I can use to threaten the shaman's body is the electromagnetic gun, except for the three-stage power without unloading, but the three-stage power without unloading has the risk of collapsing the entire underground palace. The problem with the electromagnetic gun is that although it can penetrate the sand lizard, I can't be sure where the guy's body is located on the sand lizard. His body is the key point of the sand lizard. If you can't hit the key point, simply penetrating the sand lizard will have no effect.
"What's more important is that he also has a wild spirit that can shock souls in a large area. Once it starts to cry, it is simply impossible to defend against it. Once you are shocked by it, you can only let your soul be attracted and devoured by it. We have stayed in this bedroom for so long, and now his soul-shocking soul chicken must be ready. It will cry as soon as we go out, and there is no way to avoid it..."
Touching her chin, Dorothy began to think silently with a serious expression. Neveu, who was not far away, was also looking at Dorothy with a worried look, worried whether Dorothy could think of a suitable solution.
In silence, Dorothy began to turn her head and look around, looking at the surrounding environment to see if she could get some inspiration. When she looked at Nefvé who was worried not far away, Dorothy had an idea, and a rather bold but very dangerous plan emerged in her mind.
"Hiss...it seems...it's possible...but wouldn't it be too risky? No, I need to consult again..."
Thinking of this, Dorothy closed her eyes again and started another round of consultation. After consulting two senior "Silence" masters, Uta and Sadroya, she got the answer she wanted. When she opened her eyes again, a playful expression appeared on her face. She looked at Neveu who was sitting not far away with a strange look. Neveu couldn't help but shuddered after being stared at by her for a while.
"Um... Miss Dorothy, have you thought of a solution?"
Looking at Dorothy who was looking at her, Nephnessy couldn't help but ask weakly, and Dorothy nodded.
"Well... now I have some ideas. I think as long as you and I cooperate well, we should be able to severely injure that guy in one fell swoop."
"Ah... Is there a solution? That's no problem, I will cooperate with you! Miss Dorothy, what exactly is the solution you are talking about?" Hearing that Dorothy already had a solution, Nephnesse asked excitedly, and Dorothy responded.
"I'll tell you about the plan later. Now I need to confirm some information and make some preliminary arrangements."
Dorothy closed her eyes again and began to pray silently in her heart.
"Great Aka... I would like to consult Mr. Greg. Where is he now? Is he available? If he is still in Tivian and has time, I would like to have a real-time conversation with him."
