Many people have always been puzzled as to why the Black Earl placed his clone next to the descendants of Noah. At first, there were two speculations. One party believed that the Black Earl was to protect the descendants, while the other thought that the Black Earl had other motives.
Judging from the actions of the Black Earl, his clones protected his descendants a lot. Therefore, the descendants of Noah tend to prefer the former.
When did the wind direction change?
When several descendants of Noah died after venturing into the ruins, and the Black Earl's clones manipulated their corpses to return to the family, rumors began to spread.
The Black Earl's clone did recommend that the descendants go explore and adventure in various ruins, but the Black Earl wanted the descendants to grow up, but it was rumored that he was... uneasy and kind-hearted.
Since then, many descendants of Noah have begun to be wary of the Black Earl's clone, and the "otaku" style has begun to prevail among the descendants of Noah.
But among the descendants of Noah, there are actually people who truly love to explore the unknown. Although they are wary of the Black Earl, this does not stop them from dreaming of distant places.
Among them is Vai's biological sister, Ella.
In the past, Vai was also influenced by his sister Ella and loved exploring unknown places. This led to his friendship with Doakes and they became lifelong friends.
But one day, Ella returned to the family. When Vai saw her, he found that Ella was dumbfounded and could no longer speak. She was like a puppet, controlled by the Black Earl...
Only then did Vai realize that his peers were right to be wary of the Black Earl.
So, from that day on, Vai also suppressed the real desires in his heart and began to "stay at home".
Decades passed by in the blink of an eye, and here we are today.
During this period, Vai also tentatively asked the Black Count, and the answer given by the Black Count was as others had guessed: possession.
The Black Earl told about the situation of sacrificing talent and then possessing the clone... Ella took this step.
The Black Earl only said the reason, but not the conclusion.
This made Vai misunderstand that once possessed, he would no longer be him. His consciousness would die and become a living dead puppet with only his body left.
Only then did Vai say his "last words" loudly with tears in his eyes.
The above is everything the Black Earl said.
Many things are briefly mentioned in it, including why the talent inherited by blood can be sacrificed, and why the tone of the Black Earl sounds like it encourages sacrifice?
This may involve the secrets of the Noah family, and the Black Earl deliberately avoided these details. But this is not too critical, because whether the sacrifice talent or not is ultimately not the Black Earl's decision, but the choice of Noah's descendants.
The Black Earl is more like a witness, a bystander.
"Why didn't Vai die in the end? Nor did he become a puppet of the living dead?" The Black Earl did not explain these two questions in the end. He just said that everything was "rumors", which made Doakes couldn't help but ask again.
.
Black Earl: "He will not die in the first place. The possession of my clone will only allow him to regain his past talents. It will not let him die, let alone turn him into a puppet of the living dead."
At this time, Vai also explained: "Your Majesty is right, I misunderstood you before."
Doakes: "Then your sister Ella..."
Vai waved his hand weakly: "Sister Ella is actually not dead."
Not dead? Then what were you doing crying and yelling just now?
Doakes looked at Vai's 360-degree change in attitude, still a little unbelievable. If he didn't know Vai very well and confirmed that the person in front of him was not played by anyone else, but Vai, otherwise he would really suspect that everything was played by the Black Earl.
's play.
"I don't know the specific situation yet, but your Excellency has clearly told me that Sister Ella is not dead." Vai explained again that he believed what the Black Earl said. At least in this matter, the Black Earl had no reason to deceive himself.
The Black Earl also spoke at the right time: "His sister Ella is followed by my tongue. Ever since my tongue possessed her, Ella rarely speaks. She is probably mentally awkward and has never come out of the shadows."
Vai also proved what the Black Earl said at this time, the Black Earl's clone following Ella was Tongue.
Everyone imagined for a moment, if their own tongues were sacrificed and replaced by someone else's tongue, they would still be unable to control their tongues. It would be quite disgusting to think about it.
What's more, if Ella, a witch, wears the tongue of the opposite sex, she will most likely have psychological shadow.
However, they were actually wrong.
What the Black Earl did not tell them was that the ability of the tongue was actually related to "speaking".
It can be understood that saying good things will not work, but talking about bad things will be accurate.
Not every character of the Black Earl's clone is as stable as the nose, but more like the original character. The character of the tongue is an exception, it is a bit out of touch, and is particularly mean-mouthed, and always likes to say things that make people unlucky.
In the past, when Ella had her own talents, she would not say "bad things" on purpose, so it was normal.
But Ella sacrificed her talent and was possessed by the Black Earl's tongue. Even though the talent came back bit by bit, the tongue's bad mouth condition did not change.
In order to avoid hurting the people around her with her bad tongue, Ella simply lived alone and remained silent even when she returned to the family. Even when Vai came to see her, she refrained from speaking.
This is actually to protect Vai.
But Vai misunderstood and Ella became a puppet living dead.
It can be said that there are layers of misunderstandings here.
The Black Earl was actually aware of this, but he did not interfere or explain anything.
The possession of the Black Earl is not for nothing, what he seeks is his own detachment. As for the specific operation, this is a secret, and the Black Earl will not tell anyone.
But what can be said is that he wants these descendants, but he will not really kill them. Even if the Black Count really transcends and becomes a legend, he will not do too much harm to these descendants, let alone kill them.
They can even feed them back after becoming legendary. Overall, it is a good thing that has advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
As for the objects of possession, the Black Earl has a choice. Those who have potential and are willing to make a breakthrough between life and death are the ones truly worthy of possession.
If you have been staying at home, avoiding the unknown, and blocking the way forward, then it is better to let such people continue to misunderstand you.
So the Noah family is now divided into two groups: one group is possessed, they know everything, but they will not tell the truth; the other group does not know the truth and avoid it by "staying at home"
Those who believe in rumors.
Vai was once the latter, but this time the duel forced him to join the former's team.
It can be regarded as opening the door to a new world for him.
This is also the reason why the Black Earl decided to let Vai have a duel. From the first duel, the Black Earl could see that Vai's sharpness has not completely disappeared, his potential is still there, and his decisiveness is still there.
So, the Black Earl gave Vai a chance to make a choice between life and death.
However, the Black Earl did not expect that the opponent would be so cruel, Guao's eyes would be fixed on him, and Vai would not even have a chance to choose.
Either die or be possessed.
In this case, Vai had to choose to be possessed. After all, the Noah family trained him, and he was willing to do something in return before "death".
But the result was something Vai didn't expect.
Being possessed is not death, but the beginning of another journey.
Although Vai was more forced to choose possession, he eventually embarked on this path. This may be considered a kind of... luck?
