I was regarded as a demon god by a witch

Chapter 334 Corpse Dragon Konjac!Research Institute of Ancient Civilizations! (two-in-one super chapter)

At the window of the big tree house, Ivita saw that after the long-haired woman implanted the special swamp safflower into the baby's body, thousands of the swamp safflower's thin filaments, which were as thick as nerves, entwined into the nerves in the baby's body and deeply combined with the baby.

The baby lying on the 'operating table' the size of a dining table cried even harder.

He was crying and enduring severe pain, but the long-haired woman present seemed not to hear, and began to pick up something that seemed to be spider silk and put iron needles on it, and then sewed up his chest cavity for the baby.

At the same time, the baby's body surface underwent drastic changes.

The baby, who originally had almost no hair on its body except lanugo, first grew many spike-like hairs, and then began to grow wildly.

Seeing this, Ivita suddenly understood that the hairs on these red-haired people were not real hairs.

It's a nerve-like substance.

That hair is simply the product of the combination of human nerves and the tender silk of the swamp safflower.

But if this is the case, then the long-haired race is a kind of artificially transformed synthetic human race, but the research on electronic synthetic humans in the previous life is the direction of combining the human body with machinery, and now the long-haired race I saw in the swamp is the direction of plant transplantation related to the extraterrestrial plants.

The 'surgical tools' used on the opponent's 'operating table' are basically raw materials collected by the long-haired people from the swamp.

Ivita glanced at the Bone Patriarch unkindly. Anyway, it would be too cruel to transform a living baby into a long-haired half-monkey. "Is the core secret of the long-haired tribe the place where babies are transformed?"

Bone didn't notice Ivita's bad intentions, because in his eyes, this transformation behavior was a gift, not a very cruel human experiment.

The patriarch of the barbarian bone said to Ivita: "That's it, Lord Ivita, this is the big tree house of our long-haired tribe's pregnancy and baby room."

"Here, we will become different from the hairless people outside the swamp. We have excellent physical nerve coordination. Even a three-year-old child in the tribe can walk on the hemp rope tied between two trees without training."

"Every Shaggy is the best rider."

Ivita followed the direction pointed by the head of the Bone Patriarch, and saw the long-haired children swinging their arms on the canopy of the forest in the swamp, just like monkeys on the canopy of different trees.

He also saw a young adult of the long-haired tribe riding on the back of a human-tall swamp monitor lizard, which is unique to swamps.

With Ivita's eyesight, he noticed that these long-haired tribes not only have better physical coordination ability than humans, when those children jump between trees and tree houses, when sharp branches scrape their backs, the long red hairs covering the bare backs of these children will all curl up quickly when they touch the leaves and branches.

There are also those adults, when they ride on the swamp monitor lizard, the long red hair on their body is obviously capturing the speed of the wind and the displacement of the muscles when the swamp monitor lizard moves.

This just shows that the red hair on the long-haired people is actually a nerve-like structure.

That's the external nerve.

Ivita noticed that this extracorporeal nerve was very similar to the extraordinary organs of the knights.

That is simply an inferior version of the Transcendent organ.

Sure enough, the current practice of the long-haired people should be the immature method of using the extraterrestrial plants in the early days of human beings.

Looking at the density of tree houses along the way, it can be estimated that the population of the people of the swamp - the long-haired tribe, should be around [-].

Then he should be able to use the long-haired tribe in the swamp to organize a maximum of about 5000 monitor lizard cavalry troops.

This is a very powerful cavalry force.

That's right, although such a cavalry unit would attract the prying eyes of many nobles, the positioning of the long-haired people and the lizardmen was very similar to that of the nomads on the northern plateau in their previous lives. These things were enemies and scourges that harassed the territory, but they were unlikely to become armies in the hands of the nobles in the territory.

Most of the reason why I have the opportunity to master such an army depends on Joanna's personal prestige here.

The reason why the lizard people and the long-haired people can get rid of the coveted human nobles is thanks to this swamp.

It is almost impossible for the human army to move an inch in this swamp, and large-scale marching is simply unrealistic. In addition, there is no economic value here, and there are a bunch of aliens who harass other territories. Therefore, over time, the swamp is ignored by everyone, who thinks that anyone whose territory stays next to the swamp is unlucky.

The Bone Patriarch was worried that Ivita would enter the big tree house. After thinking about it, he said tactfully to Ivita: "Even I can't enter the big tree house, because this is where all the babies in our clan will stay when they are born. Those women think that if we men enter it, it will pollute the air inside and affect those babies."

"Pollution?" Evita asked puzzled. "Is there any pollution here? Is it because you are afraid that you will carry foreign bacteria? But I see that you are doing 'surgery' yourself, and there are no disinfection measures. Basically, you rely on the self-healing ability that safflower brings to the human body."

He didn't even bother to go in.

It's just that he feels that these swamp people still have many secrets.

The Bone patriarch said: "It's because during the [Swamp God's Blessing], the death rate of male babies is always much higher than that of female babies. All those women think that our men's breath is relatively dirty. If we enter the big tree house, it will threaten the health of the babies."

Ivita raised his eyebrows, isn't this just feudal superstition?
Also.

The more primitive the place, the more superficial it is to observe nature and the world, and only see the superficial laws, and then make primitive inductions.

The conclusions drawn in this way are often anti-intellectual.

A voice appeared next to Ivita and the Bone Patriarch. "What are you talking about? How many times have I said that there is no swamp god, and there is no turbidity of men's breath. It is because a unique substance secreted by men will react with swamp safflower. In this way, the body of the transplanted male will be greatly strengthened."

"So the physical strength of men who have undergone longevity surgery is no longer that of human beings, and it is far superior to women of the long-haired tribe. But the price is that the baby boys with insufficient physical fitness will die during the process."

Ivita turned her head, and an old woman with red hair and grayish white all over her body was bouncing over. She was still holding a rough homemade tobacco rod in her hand, and she was greedily breathing the white mist from it.

Seeing the old woman, the patriarch Barbarian said to her with fear and respect: "Grandma Fenggu, why don't you live in the tree house and come out. What if you meet those nasty lizardmen?"

"Hmph." The old woman with strong bones frowned, pulled out the cigarette stick from her mouth, and then spitting out a smoke ring fiercely, spraying it on Mangu's face. "Am I afraid of lizardmen? Even dragon-veined lizardmen, I'm not afraid."

"He who is half buried in the ground is not afraid of mobs and savages."

Ivita raised his brows aside, the old primitive seemed to think that he was not a barbarian.

This……

The strong old lady seemed to notice Iveta's thoughts, and immediately glared at her. "The new great lord of the swamp, I come from a civilized world like you. I am the only one who succeeded in the [longevity operation] led by the Duke of Cross Island 60 years ago."

"In order to facilitate the inheritance and continuation of our lineage, I did not overly interfere with the development of the long-haired people. Over time, they themselves have forgotten their origin and the etiquette of the civilized world, thus evolving a set of social ecology belonging to the long-haired people. Although I think this is a good thing, after all, people must get used to forgetting the past. People who indulge in a certain moment are sad, because time will only leave him in place, while others have already left that time period."

The strong old lady said to Ivita: "A few lords came to the swamp before. But we don't recognize the rule of a group of pirates, but you are the lord recommended by Lord Joanna, so as long as you are not a pirate, we long-haired people will serve you wholeheartedly."

Evita frowned.

This old man is testing himself, it's not easy to deal with.

But I am still very curious about longevity surgery.

Evita said: "I'm not a pirate. I'm from the mainland."

The strong old lady showed a satisfied look. "I believe you, my lord, because your skin is so fair, and it is not comparable to the group of pirates who are exposed to the sun. Even if you say that you are a pirate, I will not believe it."

The strong old lady seemed to be talking casually, and said to Ivita: "Then, Lord Lord, please forgive me for asking a few questions. Because your answer involves, how much I want to tell you."

"I want to ask you a key question. Since you are not a pirate, why did you come to Cross Island?"

Evita didn't think twice. "No one can refuse to return something after they owe me something. Because of some coincidence, I got several territories on the Cross Island, but those territories were all occupied by pirates, so I can only come here to claim and plunder these pirates myself."

"Hey hey... robbing pirates? Young people nowadays are really interesting." The strong old lady winked at Ivita. "Looking at your current posture, I know you have succeeded. Well done, it really is a retaliation, hahahaha..."

"You really like my appetite." The strong old lady took a puff of her cigarette in satisfaction. "I believe you must be full of doubts about this weird swamp, just like the mood I felt when the duke and I entered the swamp 60 years ago. Come on, I'll take you to see the duke, so you can understand everything."

"Under this swamp, there are several very important things that are of little use to us."

"But it's different for you who are eager to expand your territory."

Ivita looked at the strong old lady suspiciously.

I never said my purpose.

The strong old woman turned her back to Ivita and said: "I am an old man who has lived for hundreds of years. Although I am not a professional, I have also gained wisdom through time. A person who is eager to recover and use the notorious swamp must have a reason to expand his territory."

"But despite your haste."

"It doesn't change the fact that you are a good person."

"Come on, I'll take you to see the Duke."

Ivita glanced at the head of the Bone Patriarch, and followed her. "Duke? After 60 years, he's still alive?"

The strong old lady shook her head. "The Duke is dead a long time ago. If the Duke is still alive, then he will definitely not let the group of pirates occupy the magpie's nest, occupy the Cross Island and the Cross Sea area. It has been 60 years, I wonder if Marco Anson is still alive?"

On the pontoon in the swamp, Ivita thought of Marco Anson's severed finger, and said, "It should be considered dead."

"Hehe. That kind of bad guy won't die easily." The strong old lady said with a look of hatred, "I used to be the Duke's mistress. Duke, he is a very pitiful person."

"In the eyes of everyone, the Duke is a person who is so incompetent that he has to sign a covenant with the pirates. But I know that the Duke has always hated himself for causing his people to be displaced. Without Marco Anson, he would be a very good ruler."

"He is sympathetic and has empathy for his people. He can restrain his emotions when he is the most violent and don't hurt anyone."

"Such a person, but because he met Marco Anson, became a king of subjugation. What a trick of fate."

The strong old lady asked Ivita, "Mother-in-law, I want to know one more thing. Who owns the Iron Crown of the Principality of Lombardy now?"

Ivita: "It should still be in the hands of the Lombard family."

The strong old lady bowed her head and said, "The duke used to be a branch of the Lombard family. Lombard's iron crown law is special. At the end of the ancient civilization, some laws were differentiated from the undamaged and corrupt laws left by the ancient civilization, including the iron crown law."

"The emperor of the Holy Golden Rose Empire needs the Pope to wear the crown of God if he wants to inherit the throne."

"But generally speaking, the emperor of the Holy Golden Rose Empire will first obtain the Iron Crown Law of the [Lombard Duchy] before being awarded the [Holy Empire's Throne] by the Pope."

Evita gave her an incredulous expression.

The strong old lady laughed and said: "These things were not known by the mistress of the former Duke, but the Duke needed someone to share the pressure in the desperate situation, so he told me this secret, just like other secrets of their family."

"The royal family of the Holy Golden Rose Empire, in order to obtain the iron crown of the Lombard family, often marry their daughters in exchange for the iron crown."

"But now that the Iron Crown is still in the hands of the Lombard family, it shows that there is also a huge problem in the Holy Golden Rose Empire."

"It deserves it. The Duke asked them for help before, but they turned a blind eye to it. Now they have finally suffered."

Ivita scratched her head in embarrassment. The royal family of the Holy Golden Rose Empire is the Alsace family. In other words, she has a relatively late succession to the throne.

Probably after dozens of digits.

Hearing what the native old lady in front of me said, I was really embarrassed.

Evita reminded her. "That... There is something I want to tell you. The current royal family of the Holy Golden Rose Empire is Alsace, and my surname is also Alsace."

The vigorous old lady's body shook.

Then, nonchalantly, she said, "Oh, is the bloody unscrupulous royal family taking over our swamp now?!"

"The royal family claims that they are the universal protectors of human society and the nations believed in by the god of all things. As a result, they can't even deal with pirates."

"Sure enough, people are the most reliable only if they rely on themselves."

Ivita was silent, but he knew that the current pirates were probably raised by the church to deal with the pirate believers of the God of Beasts.

Then the position of the former sacred Golden Rose Empire royal family is suspicious.

After walking about ten kilometers, the strong old lady twisted her ankle, "I'm tired from walking. Look, the Duke's cemetery is in front of you."

"But be careful, the front is the deepest part of the swamp, and there is an inexplicable suction below. Anyone who approaches will be caught by that suction, and then fall into the swamp and die. Whether it is a knight or a witch, they will end up like this."

"Our long-haired people can rely on the [external red nerve] to cross this swamp, but I don't know if you can do it, great lord? Anyway, I'm going to pass. If something happens, I can't save you, mother-in-law."

Ivita knew that the other party was testing him, so he didn't care too much.

He turned into a peregrine falcon, trying to fly over the swamp ahead of him.

The strong old lady lowered her head, a sly light flashed in her eyes.

Evita, who was flying over the swamp, suddenly felt the huge suction from below, and the suction almost pulled him down, but when he turned into a peregrine falcon, he was still wearing a destruction cloak, which had the ability to float.

Ivita fully used the magic of the destruction cloak, coupled with the flying power of the peregrine falcon itself, to resist the suction of the swamp.

But that's just not letting him fall.

He was still unable to move an inch.

'The Duke, who was defeated 60 years ago, fled into the swamp, and there are still enough resources to resist the suction at the bottom of the swamp. It seems that my current power is not strong enough, and the resources are still not enough. '

Iveta thought.

Ivita used the power of the emperor star to strengthen the magic of the destruction cloak. The peregrine falcon he transformed was surrounded by six destruction balls, and the ability to float was also doubled.

Then, he charged forward with all his strength.

After reaching a certain critical point, as if he had pierced through a layer of paper, he broke free from the suction below, jumped out, and came to a rocky highland surrounded by swamps. On that highland, there were many wooden frames with the sacred number '4' inserted, and grave mounds behind the wooden frames.

The rocky plateau is full of graves.

The peregrine falcon in Ivatar's avatar fell and became human again, and then he found himself standing in front of the duke's tomb, because on the grave mound it was written - 'The grave of Billy Lombard, the last Duke of Cross Island, who came with nothing before he was born and left with nothing before he died. '

The strong old woman also jumped on the broken wood and gravel floating on the swamp. It must be said that the long-haired people are naturally adapted to life in the swamp. With the red nerves outside their bodies, their control over their limbs is almost inhuman.

The strong old lady said: "It's really amazing. When we were going to cross the swamp, most of the people died, but you actually crossed this natural barrier with only a few magic spells."

Ivita said: "We have seen the Duke. Now you should tell me the source of [Longevity Surgery] and the swamp safflower, as well as the secret of this swamp."

The strong old woman jumped onto the rocky plateau and walked towards the Duke's grave while talking to Iveta. "Sixty years ago, during the incident of raising the black flag, our soldiers were defeated and retreated to the swamp. The Duke wanted to fight them decisively in the swamp. He was here, but unexpectedly, he still failed."

"Then, here we are... here, we found [Corpse Dragon Amorphophallus], which is also very rare among the strange plants outside the sky, and saw the companion plant of [Corpse Dragon Amorphophallus]—Swamp Red Flower."

"At that time, there was a naturalist among our broken troops. His name was Peter Pan. He insisted that as long as he found [Corpse Dragon Konjac] and [Swamp Red Flower], he could perform the [Longevity Surgery] that he accidentally saw in the fragmented copy."

The strong old lady lowered her head, leaning on the Duke's tomb and entering deep thought. "Of course, Peter Pan also said that as long as [longevity surgery] is performed, two results can be created."

"The first result is to create a unique longevity race."

"The second result is that, while maintaining the state of human beings, they can maintain their current age and live for at least 2000 years, and their appearance will never grow old, and they can enjoy youth forever."

"But this kind of surgery can only be performed with [Swamp Red Flower] and [Corpse Dragon Konjac]."

"Because Peter Pan gave the Duke a lot of good advice, the Duke agreed to Peter Pan's [Longevity Surgery] plan, and the Duke is also planning to use the longevity race created by the [Longevity Surgery] to restore the country."

"..." Evita: "???"

Ivita's hairs almost stood on end, because he heard Peter Pan's name, and for a moment, he almost thought that Joanna was Peter Pan's subordinate.

But if you think about it carefully, Joanna should belong to Santa Claus.

It shouldn't be possible to be manipulated by Peter Pan.

But why, he got this swamp, went deep into the swamp, and came into contact with God Pan's plan 60 years ago?
What role did God Pan play when Black Sea was established 60 years ago?
It was only now that Ivita realized that the 'body modification surgery' he saw in the big tree house deep in the swamp was not exactly the 'glorious' style of druids?

It turned out that the source of this operation was really a druid.

The grandma said: "At that time, I was just a young woman with little experience, and I could only listen to the arrangements of those big men. We followed Peter Pan to undergo surgery one by one. I took an anesthetic extracted from plants in the swamp, and when I woke up, I grew red hair all over my body."

"But I'm alone, the others are gone, and the duke has become a graveyard."

"Peter Pan told me that only when I successfully completed the [Longevity Surgery] did he discover that the swamp safflower will combine with the unique hormone secreted by human males, a substance used to strengthen muscles, and produce mutations."

"So the men all died in that operation, or the operation failed, and became a red-haired species with a slightly lower IQ than humans and a short lifespan, which is the long-haired race you saw before."

Evita looked weird, knowing she was talking about [testosterone].

Excessive testosterone levels can affect male life expectancy.

But I didn't expect this side effect.

Iveta always felt that 60 years ago, God Pan must have deceived the Duke and the old woman in front of him, and the truth at that time was probably more than that.

What God Pan cares most about is to revive the druids.

Wait, I found the Druids' fragments of the Air Elemental Plane in a place where divination and compass failed, that is, the volcanic island. At that time, did God Pan know that there were fragments of the Air Elemental Plane in the Black Sea?
If he knew, then he might also be one of the sponsors behind Marco Anson. God Pan might want to disturb the Black Sea and let the part of the crown fragment of the elemental plane sealed by Hell appear.

But since [Longevity Surgery] was mentioned, Pan Shen's purpose at that time was probably not just that simple.

Evita thought hard, but she couldn't think of what God Pan's purpose was here 60 years ago.

The strong old lady opened the Duke's tomb, and there was no corpse in the tomb, but there was a big hole at the bottom of the tomb.

She said: "Lord of the Marsh, this tomb is used to hide the most valuable treasure of the Shaggy tribe. The body of the Duke has been moved, and this is where we found [Corpse Dragon Amorphophallus] 60 years ago."

"It's also the place where our long-haired people get the swamp safflower."

"In the past 60 years, ordinary people have hardly been able to get close to this place. Anyone who gets close will be killed by our long-haired people."

"But since it's yours, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Ivita questioned: "Why tell me so frankly, the origin and secrets of your family, after all, this involves a strange plant from beyond the sky."

The strong old lady shook her head and sneered. "There are three reasons. The first one is that I see you right."

"Secondly, you are the great lord of the swamp. You have the right to know the secrets of the race you rule. It is not good for us to keep it from you. Rather than being discovered by you later, it is better to tell you now. It is impossible to completely hide it from you."

"Third, the corpse dragon konjac is a treasure of the swamp, not our clan's treasure. If someone can make better use of it, that would be the best thing, and the corpse dragon konjac can hardly be transplanted to other places. In the end, you still need to rely on our long-haired clan to guard this place."

Ivita nodded, knowing that the other party wanted to strengthen the position of the long-haired tribe in his heart.

The strong old lady thought for a while. "Of course there may be a fourth reason. I know that our way of transforming our own bodies is too barbaric in your eyes. But most of these people are descendants of soldiers who failed the operation. Their genes have been severely affected. Only by transforming can they stabilize their genes."

"That's why I want to explain to you."

Ivita looked down at the passage behind the duke's tomb, which looked like a burglary. "Are there swamp safflower and dragon corpse konjac down here?"

The strong old woman said: "It's not just that. There are also guardians guarding [Corpse Dragon Konjac] below."

"I only heard from Peter Pan later that this place was originally a research institute of ancient civilizations, specializing in the study of the power of the reptile dragon species that lived at the bottom of the swamp during the age of ancient dragons. Speaking of which, I really miss Peter Pan. He is really a good man, very patient and gentle with people."

"It's a pity that he didn't perform [longevity surgery] on himself."

"Then he is an ordinary person, he should be dead by now. Alas, what a pity. It's such a trouble to live for too long. Everyone you know has died one by one."

Evita looked sideways at her.

You really think too much.

Moreover, you really have a big problem with his impression.

Ivita turned into a falcon and flew down the hole under the tomb. After passing through a dark cave, he suddenly had a broad vision and saw the cave world under the swamp, which was like another world.

In the center of this cave world, which covers a very large area, like a small city, there is a huge corpse taro. The outside of the plant is white, but the inner membrane is red like an onion, and a flower that is as tall as a person blooms.

The whole [Corpse Dragon Konjac] revealed a strange aura.

What's more spectacular is that [Corpse Dragon Konjac] is surrounded by hill-like swamp safflowers, which are the light source in the cave world, and these swamp safflowers stretch out countless red filaments.

Moreover, these tender silks are emitting a faint red light.

Such a picture is simply coquettish and strange.

Next to [Corpse Dragon Konjac], in the middle of the sea of ​​red flowers in the swamp, there are many bronze bell-shaped golems engraved with unknown characters.

Some of them were trapped in the pile of stones, while others stood in the sea of ​​flowers, and there were many traces of destruction on their bodies.

When the peregrine falcon incarnated by Ivita entered this cave world, the dozens of bronze cipher puppets moved and turned their bronze heads. Ivita felt that he was locked by their spirituality and would attack him at any time.

But at the same time, an indifferent voice came from the entire cave world.

'Wizard who visits the ruins of ancient civilization for the first time, we will give you a gift, please choose one of the following three. '

'One, the Ancient Core of Fire Defenders of the First Galba Auxiliary Legion. '

'Two, the Ancient Core of the Ice Destroyers of the Fourth Sora Infantry Legion. '

'Third, the Ancient Core of Thunder Guardians of the Sixth Conqueror Shaw's Auxiliary Legion. '

From behind Ivita came the voice of a strong old woman. "Wait for me, Lord Highlord. I am too old to keep up with your speed."

"Ah, you also met the choice gift? I still have an ancient core of the defender of fire in my hand. Because I am not a wizard, and no one I know is a wizard, so I can't find a way to use it. If you want it, I will give it to you. I just ask you to treat the long-haired tribe well. The long-haired tribe is the only thing left by the Duke."

Evita raised an eyebrow.

……

In a certain corner of the Black Sea, on the Paradise-like Neverland, in front of God Pan stood a young man with proud and unruly eyes, but the boy's eyes and expression were very mature. "Captain Peter, the boy you asked me to pay attention to before, he has actually gone to the death swamp."

Pan Shen gave him a surprised look. "Didn't I ask you to stop him?"

The boy said aggrievedly: "It was supposed to stop it. But Santa Claus' daughter lost the swamp to him, and when I wanted to create obstacles to prevent them from going, I met patients with the Black Death. The power of those Black Death servants is gradually rising."

"The child named Ivita is so lucky, the servant of the black death just stopped me from stumbling."

God Pan sighed. "That way, he might know what I did there 60 years ago."

"This is not a good thing."

The teenager makes a suggestion. "It's not difficult to say that it's difficult to cover up that matter. As long as the last person involved is dead, isn't it all right?!"

God Pan shook his head. "It's too late. I guess the last living person has already told him what happened, and with his cleverness, he presumably has found the place where [Corpse Dragon Konjac] is. As long as he gets there, I will not be able to hide what I did."

"I was too kind back then to let the duke's mistress still alive. But she was the only one I had successfully modified at the time, and I really couldn't bear to kill her. Now that it has become like this, then we can only help the Republic of Belisarius and kill the Governor of Central Port."
