Law of the Swarm

Chapter 317 The So-called Heroic Spirit

"For Drizzt's extra stack of cards, did someone build the Hall of Valor for him?"

The dwarf Johnny in the tavern yelled loudly again, and two heroic spirits also surrounded Drizzt, but Drizzt, who was playing cards, still maintained his aloof image and didn't say a word.

With the passage of time, the heroic spirits who were once remembered by people will inevitably be forgotten.

Although they were able to survive in the winter wonderland, it was inevitable that they would disappear completely after leaving the winter wonderland.

The reason why Heroic Spirits are Heroic Spirits is because they have beliefs that cannot be compromised.

Because of this belief, he will be remembered and live in this world as a spirit body; but also because of this belief, even if they know that they will disappear, they will invest in the journey of death...

At first, there were more than 100 heroic spirits in Winter Wonderland, but due to various reasons, it dropped sharply to more than 30, and then gradually increased back.

Gradually maintain the number of more than 50, every few decades or more than a hundred years, a few heroic spirits will leave, and then new heroic spirits will join.

The reason why the golden lion Adam dared to go to Lierte Forest was because Adam still had two Halls of Valor in this world, and he was not forgotten by people.

In this way, even if Adam is killed, he will not die because of it.

In terms of resurrection, heroic spirits are very similar to gods.

But heroic spirits are far inferior to gods. Gods usually take the initiative to collect beliefs, while heroic spirits are spirit bodies born under the influence of the will of the world.

And not all beings who are remembered can become heroic spirits after death.

To put it simply, Heroic Spirits must be the stubborn beliefs recognized by the will of the world, coupled with people's memory, can only be born with strange spiritual life.

Heroic spirits are not exactly the same as they were when they were alive, and their personalities may also have some differences, just like the lion pattern on the chest armor of the golden lion Adam did not exist before his death.

The sudden extra stack of cards that killed Drizzt was suspected by other heroes to be the construction of the Hall of Valor.

But how he is remembered by others, and what he is imagined by people, in fact, Heroic Spirit himself has no way of knowing.

Heroic spirits can't sense the thoughts in the hearts of the people who remember them, they can only roughly sense where there are their legends...

……

In the noisy tavern, Steel Shield Marshall was still drinking his drink in sips. There was no goblin to help him pour the wine, so Marshall poured it himself.

After becoming heroic spirits, heroic spirits will not get drunk, so they can always enjoy the wine brewed by goblins.

There is a special reason why Steel Shield Marshall is drinking glasses of wine like this.

In fact, a year ago, Marshall could not drink like this. At that time, he could only look at the sky quietly, waiting quietly for the snowflakes on the sky of the winter wonderland to fall on his cheeks.

Yes, at that time Marshall was disabled in limbs and lost the ability to speak. Because no other heroic spirits found him, he had been lying in the corner of the sea of ​​flowers in Winter Wonderland.

This lying down is thousands of years...

Not all the heroic spirits in Winter Wonderland still have the Hall of Valor, neither Johnny the Dwarf nor Marshall, and more than half of the heroic spirits in Winter Wonderland do not.

So Marshall's spirit body has never recovered. If he hadn't been in the Winter Wonderland, he might have died and disappeared completely in this world.

Until the last two years, it was unknown who built the Hall of Valor for him, or someone sang his story. As a result, Marshall's damaged body gradually recovered in the past two years.

Unlike most of the heroic spirits here who were very powerful during their lifetime, Steel Shield Marshall was very weak during his lifetime, and he was just a warrior of magical rank.

But the strength of a heroic spirit is not necessarily related to his strength in life, but only to their beliefs and the people who remember them.

When Marshall was at his strongest, he also reached the legendary level, but the time was very short, only a short ten years.

Steelshield Marshall, also known as Liberator Marshall, was one of the participants in the slave liberation movement on Aedra.

This slave movement began 7000 years ago, lasted 323 days, and ended in failure.

Although the momentum is huge, in this magical world, the power gap between the slave class and the ruler is really too big, and the rebellion has no chance of winning at all.

Due to the defeat, the original initiator had fled, but in order to protect the lives of 3000 slaves, Marshall accepted the enemy's conditions, cut himself off in public, and stabbed himself more than [-] times with a short sword until he died, and the blood in Marshall's hands The steel shield was raised high.

It seems to be telling the slaves behind him that even if he dies, his steel shield will protect these companions.

But the final result has not changed, the more than 8000 slaves are still all dead...

……

Because the story is too tragic, and to make it easier to write the skills of the card, when System made the Marshall card, he slightly adapted the story of Marshall, and added a fictional plot after the ending——

Although Marshall is still dead, it is the final stage.Marshall's body was shrouded in a layer of golden and white light, fighting like a god, and rescued some slaves before falling to the ground and turning into points of light.

Because the balance design of the card was a bit poor, resulting in too much strength, System also weakened it to a certain extent, changing the effect of [Steel Shield] from drawing two cards to drawing one, but the strength is still somewhat Big, especially after matching with its skin until death, even if the original card has not been strengthened, its strength is very high.

But after all, this character card is very popular, and players generally spend a lot of krypton gold points on this card, so it's not easy for System to weaken it.

……

……

……

Marshall in the tavern poured himself another glass of wine.

Lying alone in the sea of ​​flowers for thousands of years is too long, so long that Marshall didn't drink enough wine even after drinking for a year, after all, he originally liked to drink.

However, the noisy Heroic Spirits finally brought the topic to Marshall again. After all, the change of Marshall's rebirth from a broken limb is too obvious, and Marshall also revealed that his changes came from the Lierte Forest.

Although there are more than 400 cards in "Lord Killing", they contain a variety of characters, including creatures from the abyss, astral world, underworld, and heaven, and only a small part of the heroic spirits in them.

However, only seven of the more than fifty heroic spirits in Winter Wonderland were included in "Lord Killing".

Although heroic spirits generally have their own beliefs, they still contain the emotion that intelligent creatures generally have-jealousy.

And just as many heroic spirits were arguing around Marshall again, the golden lion Adam suddenly roared, as if he had discovered something, he walked to Drizzt in the corner of the tavern, and picked up Drizzt's playing cards.

"I know what these cards are about!"

Compared with a card game in [Data Template], Adam gradually mastered a poker game, and began to teach many idle and boring heroic spirits how to play cards.

It seems that Adam may have to wait for a long time to discover the secrets in "Lord Killing"...

Perhaps, however, Adam's delay would have been shorter.

Because Johnny the Storm Hammer could no longer stand the heroic spirits in the tavern, he really didn't want to be distracted by these guys again, so he decided to go to the Lilte Forest to investigate for himself regardless of the danger...
