"Not only Bubbles and I, but also everyone else in the castle. As long as they can continue to play the role and match the character's personality, corresponding sacrifices will be born."
"The sacrifices I saw include the maid's apple, the male servant's letter, the chef's peas... and so on."
These sacrifices were all seen by Edward with his own eyes, and there must be more sacrifices in places he couldn't see.
"Moreover, as long as these sacrifices appear in our hands, their ownership rights belong to us."
Edward specifically mentioned the "right of ownership" because once the sacrifice belongs to them, they have absolute control over it; if outsiders use the sacrifice, it is equivalent to using something owned by the owner, and they need to pay a certain amount of money.
cost.
The first choice for the price here is soul coins.
But outsiders generally don't have soul coins. This thing is only available in the Yi world.
Therefore, outsiders can only pay the next best price: their own bodies.
Why did Hilda activate the spiritual transformation ritual and fall into the castle? It was because she used Edward's possession and could not pay the price, so she paid with her body.
After hearing this, everyone also straightened out the relationship between the sacrifice and the role.
Role-playing can attract the birth of sacrifices, and once the sacrifices appear in the hands of the character, the character has the control and can use it to attract or lure outsiders to use it to get out of trouble.
"It seems that the reason why every character in the Knight's Castle needs to conform to the personality is to sacrifice... It's really a strange rule." It was Luigi who spoke. After listening to Edward's story, he couldn't bear it.
Live with emotion.
"Rules..." Gleipnir murmured something in a low voice, then suddenly thought of something and looked at Luigi: "You are right, this is indeed very much like a rule, similar to the rule ability of the Dark Mirror Realm!
"
Luigi: "Huh?"
He just sighed, and didn't say what kind of rule it was... But seeing Gleipnir's eyes shining brightly, Luigi scratched his temples: Okay, it's indeed what I said.
Graipnir didn't notice Luigi's expression. She looked at Angel: "Do you still remember the three oracles of the Royal City?"
Angel nodded blankly. Although he didn't know why Gleipnir suddenly asked him, he did still remember the strange rule of not falling into the royal city.
There are eighteen laws, six forbidden acts, and three oracles in Buluo Wangcheng.
According to Laplace's previous explanation, these are actually powers derived from rules. And this special rule ability comes from the Dark Mirror Realm.
The Six Forbidden Actions are six things that cannot be done.
The three oracles are three behaviors that you can get rewards for as long as you do them.
For example, the first oracle of the three major oracles: every evening at dusk in the inner city square of Buluowang City, chanting prayers to the gods will give you a twenty-four-hour spiritual effect.
This spiritual effect is the reward brought by the oracle.
Its origin is unknown, but no matter who you are, as long as you follow the rules, you will definitely get the corresponding benefits.
This is a form of the power of rules. It is very idealistic, but it exists.
Angel rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and thought, "In this way, the Knights' Castle seems to have some rules."
Let’s compare it with the first oracle of Fuluowangcheng.
"Time: Every day at dusk."
"Location: The inner city square of Buluowang City."
"Behavior: Sing a prayer."
"Reap: 24-hour spiritual thinking effect."
——
"Time: every moment."
"Location: Within the confines of the Knight's Castle."
"Behavior: role play."
"Harvest: Sacrifice."
After such a comparison, the two are actually very similar. As long as you follow the rules, you can get rewards.
The only difference is: there will be no punishment if you don't do the first oracle of Buluowangcheng.
But in the Knight's Castle, if you don't role-play, you will be punished by weakening your soul or even dissipating it.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
After all, the reward received by the First Oracle is not that good, and there is a time limit, so it is normal that there is no punishment. Moreover, don't forget that in addition to the "Three Oracles", the City of Fuluo also has the "Six Major Oracles".
"Forbidden Actions", maybe the punishment has been incorporated into the six forbidden actions, which regulates your behavior, and this is also a punishment.
The rules in the Knight's Castle are real benefits. Once the sacrifice appears, it belongs to you forever, and many sacrifices have incredible power and are extremely cherished.
If you get these sacrifices out of thin air, you will naturally have to pay a higher price.
Therefore, it is understandable that there are some differences between the two.
After making the comparison, even Butler Fan, who had not spoken much, couldn't help but nod and said: "It does have the flavor of the rules in the Dark Mirror Realm, and the rules of the Knight's Castle may not be just this one. Including the spirit.
The transfer ritual may also be included in the rules."
Butler Fan's words made everyone immediately think of a new rule.
"Time: After the arrival of outsiders."
"Location: Within the confines of the Knight's Castle."
"Behavior: Taking something that belongs to the owner."
"Harvest: Sacrifice."
"Price: Pay the soul coin; if there is no soul coin, the spiritual transformation ritual will be activated."
This indeed seems like an evolution of the rules.
From this point of view, the reason why the Knight's Castle has many strange rules and makes Edward feel weird may be the reason why the rules are manifested.
When everyone was gradually convinced by the "rules" and believed it, Angel suddenly said: "Although I also think it is a rule in my heart, but if it is really a rule, then why can Hilda take the castle hall?"
What about the sacrifices inside, but there’s no price for triggering the rules?”
Hilda used Edward's dressing mirror without permission, thus triggering the price and falling into the castle.
But before that, Siluda searched the hall for many sacrifices.
Previously, they thought that it was because the Ghost Rider and the servants were from two different camps, and the Ghost Rider was more "good", so even if Hilda took the sacrifice, the spirit transformation ritual would not be activated.
But now if everything is pushed to the "rules", then one code will be the same.
As a rule, it cannot be based on human feelings.
Now that we have seen the rules, the sacrifices Hilda obtained, whether they were in the hall of the castle or in the black forest outside the castle, actually belonged to the Ghost Rider.
——Because the Ghost Rider is the owner of the castle and the secret place. He has the right to own and control everything in the secret place.
In this case, why does Hilda take these sacrifices without triggering the rules?
Faced with Angel's question, everyone fell silent.
Because this is indeed the case. Once the rule is accepted, how should these "exceptions" be counted?
Everyone pondered for a while, but no one spoke. Finally, Laplace was the first to break the quiet air and replied: "Three possibilities. First, the Ghost Rider is the master of the secret place. He has the highest authority and can
Use discretion over the rules.”
"Second, the Ghost Rider is not the owner of the castle. He is an 'outsider' as you just said. The castle items that Hilda got are actually ownerless, so they are not subject to
Rule restrictions.”
"Third, there are other rules in the Knight's Castle. This rule is related to the Ghost Rider. And the priority of this rule is higher than other rules. The reason why Hilda did not trigger the backlash of the rules is because she
Entering the rules of Ghost Rider, in this rule she can take sacrifices without paying any price."
Laplace roughly summarized three possibilities, but no one knows which one they are.
Angel looked at Edward: "Which possibility do you think it is?"
Edward scratched his head: "I don't know either, but I can confirm that the second possibility is wrong. The Ghost Rider is indeed the owner of the castle."
The reason why Edward was so sure was because of the moment he entered the castle and got his role.
