Knowing the ancient inscription, Ron deduced that the ancient stele was related to the witch's legacy.
It just so happens that there are legends of the ruins of a witch's holy land in the North, so Ron and Vivian discussed it again.
Indeed, there is a way to enter this ruin, but it is only accessible to witches or women who have received the witch's inheritance... Ron could only sigh at the power of time and fate as usual, as Vivian had already learned about the information about entering the witch's ruin through the thread of fate.
This was Vivian's third timeline event, and Ron didn't ask any more questions. Asking about things that had already happened was fine, but it was best not to ask about the undiscovered witch ruins; speculation was enough.
During the exploration of the stone tablet, Vivian casually mentioned that the reason she discovered Karl's location was because of this stone tablet. Vivian could sense the presence of the stone tablet and thus sense Karl...
Human graves usually have a tombstone, but what happens to those who are near-gods after their fall? An inscription on a tombstone, the sigh of a witch…
The monument has mysterious patterns, which are actually a kind of constant magic. It is indestructible and unaffected by the erosion of time, until the laws of heaven and earth that support the constant magic cease to be effective.
What an impressive setup! From this, Ron realized the power of the person who forged the monument. Even the former Magia City Ruins, where the Magia Lord had only set up some spacetime magic, did not reach the level of deeply utilizing the laws.
A real-world example is the frequent fragmentation of the current Magic Machine Phantom Stones. If the Magic Machine Lord had witnessed enough power back then, the current Magic Machine legacy would be much more complete.
The person who cast the monument had actually reached the level of understanding of the gods.
This is a constant magic that could only be discerned by combining Vivian's information with the insights of Master Ron the Magic Sword.
This shows that the inscription on the stele is very important. No wonder Vivian said that this stele was enough to replace the key to the ruins and connect to the Witch's Holy Land...
If the predecessor who forged the monument was not a member of the gods, he was probably not much different. The difference between those at the same level becomes greater as they progress. A novice who has stepped into the realm of demigods is already separated from a demigod predecessor who has lived for ten thousand years by ten thousand years. Fortunately, the ghost witch Karl is only a remnant soul.
Below the main inscription of the Witch's Sigh, there are some smaller characters that record scenes from that year, which can be considered a small story. Unfortunately, Ron's classical Chinese is not good enough, and he cannot understand why the witch who cast the monument sighed for a moment.
If you have the chance, you might go back and ask Elton. Elton was Ron's history professor, and the old scholar should be able to read the contents completely.
Ron thought he had almost finished his cramming on classical Chinese, but it turns out that it's not just the ancient, medieval, and prehistoric languages that are difficult, but also the ancient languages of prehistoric times. It's really too difficult, and he really doesn't have the energy and time for it.
Ron tried asking Rita again, and Rita could only shake her head. Rita's head-shaking gesture showed a touch of humanity, which earned Ron a slight smile.
Indeed, it was already a stroke of luck that they were able to decipher the main inscription.
Wait, besides Elton, why did Ron forget Karl, that wretched witch?
Or, let him answer some of the questions.
After thinking it over, Ron dismissed the idea. Time was short, and Ron wasn't sure about Karl the Ghost Witch's temperament. If Karl disregarded his own safety and tricked Ron and the others with the Witch's Inscription, things would not be good.
After much deliberation, Ron handed the inscription over to Vivian: "Here, take this. Remember, the witch's legacy is important, but my maid is even more important. Do what you can."
“Yes, young master.” Vivian smiled sweetly and carefully put away the inscription.
Since it was something that had already happened, Ron asked Vivian about her original fate after she put away the inscription. It turned out that in Vivian's third timeline, after arriving here, Vivian chose not to resist in reality, but only to fight in the spiritual world of dreams.
Later, Karl, in his remnant soul form, naturally had the idea of plundering everything Vivian had. Karl ordered that Vivian's physical body not be harmed, since in Karl's eyes at the time, everything Vivian had belonged to him.
However, Karl will still be defeated by Vivian. At a great cost, he once again uses a time-based arcane technique similar to the mystical side. In the dream world, Vivian resolutely uses a legendary-level time-based arcane technique.
Just when Karl thought he had succeeded, Vivian would actually succeed, especially after she made use of the mysterious witch's inscription...
But how could Karl just sit idly by and wait to die? Even if everything went as Vivian predicted, Karl had enough external soul energy to replenish him, including the entire Ghost Village.
Rita isn't in this timeline; Vivian only has a tree-shaped woman who comes to her aid at a price...
Faced with Karl's dying counterattack, Vivian had no choice but to use a power similar to that of the mystical side once again.
During the third destiny event, after Vivian succeeded, her aged appearance left Ron at a loss for what to do…
...
...
Fortunately, the fourth time reality didn't throw any more trouble at Ron and his group, which was also the result of the intelligence Vivian had obtained in exchange.
Hopefully, a suitable legal loophole can be found as soon as possible to make up for Vivian's lost life.
With that, the matter was almost over, and Ron dealt with the Oni clan one last time.
The resettlement of the Oni tribe villages is a major problem.
Minority races are powerless against disaster. The Oni race will inevitably go to the Orc Empire or the Human Empire, or at the very least, to various kingdoms, preferably with a church within the kingdom.
When disaster strikes, it is the places where missionaries are sent that will attract the attention of the gods.
Thus, Ron ordered Karl: "Go, have the Oni prepare to welcome the new sacrificial spirit, and at the same time prepare to move."
Ron plans to have Chief Hume take over the new ghost spirit ritual.
With the original spirit of the Ghost Witch around, it would be easier to do ideological work with the ghost people. Whether Hume could become the spirit of a tribe depended on Hume's fate.
Ron gave Hume a secret cult artifact.
Divine Arts Scroll.
This divine art is of a universal type and is the core of the core secrets of the cult. Although it should be a closely guarded secret, Ron doesn't care about that, since his superiors made him the Pope.
Ultimately, Ron bears a great deal of responsibility for Hume becoming what he is today. Although he managed to prevent the Ghost Village from becoming Karl's soul energy, and although Hume would have died of natural causes and his soul would have returned to Karl...
Alas, during that unexpected battle, Ron, despite being badly injured, couldn't stop Hume...
Hume could have lived for several years by simply ingesting the necromancy, but he also had part of his soul taken away by the sorcerer.
Hume reduced his lifespan from years to days, still under conditions of a lack of soul and insufficient intellect.
Fortunately, Hume had the foundation of a transcendent soul body. Ron directly infused Hume's mental magic with part of the divine magic scroll's contents. In addition, he left behind the complete divine magic scroll. Among the five young men who entered the formation, Ron chose one young man to keep it safe for Hume. Only Hume's soul body could fully unlock the contents of the divine magic scroll.
Then, select a spirit-infused divine artifact from the secret treasury of the religion. Since Hume's soul level was not high enough to require a semi-divine artifact, give Hume a rough statue and then have the returning ghost witch Karl infuse Hume's soul into it.
Rita watched the entire process of guiding the soul into the statue, and even the ghost witch Karl dared not make any small moves. This was a crucial step in winning the trust of Master Ron, and Karl obediently assisted the new sacrificial spirit.
The main reason was that Karl believed the Ogre race had no further use, so he left Hume and the other Ogre race to fend for themselves.
Karl no longer needs the protection of the Undead.
However, Karl still underestimated the new sacrificial spirit before him. Could this remnant soul of Hume become a sacrificial spirit of the race?
Hume was not like his great sorcerer Karl. In Karl's eyes, Ron was doing useless work. It's pitiful that even though he knew it was useless, Karl still tried to do it well. Life is hard!
Karl still feels no remorse whatsoever; it was Karl who converted a portion of Hume's soul...
Karl is in the evil faction, and Ron doesn't believe Karl will change his faction affiliation.
So what if it's evil? It all depends on how you use it. Use it like this in normal times, and see if you can extract enough knowledge and information. If necessary, with Rita around, Ghost Witch Karl is a great cannon fodder.
What if one day Ron's abilities become sufficient, and the Witch Karl has acted excessively during a certain period, directly extracting all knowledge from the soul... Unfortunately, Ron and Rita's abilities are currently insufficient. Should they ask their superiors to intervene and directly extract all of Witch Karl's knowledge?
Ron has no compassion for scoundrels. Knowing that old habits die hard, Ron has no intention of changing them in a short time.
While Carl was working, he suddenly sensed that Ron's master's gaze had become unfriendly.
No...no way!
Karl hadn't done anything underhanded, so why did his human master still look at him like that...?
Suddenly, Carl became even more cautious and diligent in his work, and now he actually hoped that Hume would work a miracle.
Hume performed a miracle; this demonstrates Karl's ability and his value.
That despicable master-servant contract with two people! If it weren't for the angels keeping things in check, those wretched humans...
In Karl's view, the human race's current thought is probably to have the angel Rita teach him a lesson, fearing he might do something underhanded. Little did he know that Ron was considering whether to ask a god to intervene and directly extract his soul...
The divine master-servant contract, while not the most outrageous condition, is still effective. If Ron dies, Karl will also die, and if Ron is injured, Karl's soul will also be damaged.
The most outrageous master-servant contract would cause Karl a sharp pain in his soul if he had any thoughts of harming his master. Rather than forcing Karl to the point of mutual destruction, Ron chose a less extreme contract.
After thinking it over for a while, Ron decided not to give his superiors the opportunity to do favors, and if Carl was honest, then his own ability was more important.
Having knowledge is not enough; you also need the ability to drive it. Moreover, simply accepting knowledge does not guarantee a complete understanding and application of it.
The disadvantages of invoking gods to extract souls currently outweigh the advantages!
That's fine for now.
Ron gave the unrepentant Karl the Ghost Witch a cold look, then took out a secret book of divine magic and began to read it.
It looks like Karl will be working for a long time. Let Rita keep an eye on things, and Ron can use the time he saves to look at the Divine Magic Codex.
If Rita had the relevant divine magic, that would be great; she could try to successfully extract Karl's soul before Karl decided to destroy himself.
After studying the divine spellbooks for a long time, Ron discovered that the cult's secret archives did contain related divine spells, but the success rate was difficult to predict...
After a long while, Karl finished his work, and at the same time, the Oni race had almost all gathered.
This was the gathering before the Oni tribe's mass relocation. Because the undead attack had passed, the Oni who had been told to leave temporarily returned, only to be told to move again...
Which direction to go is of course up to the old village chief Hume. It's just a pity that Hume has been completely classified as a ghost. Ron glanced at the statue blank and hoped for a miracle!
Only demigods can choose whether to gather faith and eventually become gods of faith…
Sighing, Ron and the others turned and continued on their way, no longer listening to the young demon holding the statue.
After everyone boarded the magic crystal vehicle, the scene of the Oni tribe gathering for a brief reprimand soon disappeared...
Far from the Ghost Village, Ron and his companions officially entered the North Lands of the Dead after half a day of flying.
