Chapter 740: Force Bone Singer
Fu Qinghai followed Lao Daka back to the canyon.
Silry met them at the entrance to the canyon.
The three of them returned to the cave at the top of the canyon, lit a few candles, and sat down around the cracked altar.
"In the spirit world, the Winged Goddess appears as a brilliant white griffin. She mediates between feuding clans and controls fertility and growth. She knows everything about the past and is in control of the future."
I see. The Winged Goddess has the ministry of prophecy.
"The Winged Goddess's spiritual ritual can bring a large amount of soul fluid into the real world. This fluid is in the form of green mist, but witches with extraordinary talents like Talzin and I can give it a material form and quality through spellcasting."
Old Daka narrated slowly.
Sure enough, isn’t the useful stuff here?
Before, when Silli summoned the soul of old Daka, the green translucent liquid that flowed out of the cracked altar was the so-called "spiritual liquid". These spiritual liquids can evaporate into green mist or be ignited into green fire under the guidance of the Nightsisters.
Whether it is Jedi or Sith, except for a few skills such as Force lightning, most of the Force skills they perform are invisible and silent. However, the Nightsisters are very special. When they perform Force skills, they are often accompanied by special effects such as green flames or green mist.
Fu Qinghai suspected that this was related to these "spiritual fluids". The Dark Night Sisters used the spiritual fluids to release the so-called "soul witchcraft".
So what exactly is spiritual fluid?
This is how Fu Qinghai understood it.
If the Soul World is regarded as the Warp of the Star Wars canon universe, and the Ichor comes from the Soul World, then the Ichor is basically equivalent to the psychic energy in the Warp. By the way, among the many names of the Warp in the Warhammer 40K universe, one of them is called "Sea of Souls".
"Experienced witches can use the ichor to shape objects. The resulting objects can be permanent and take on different forms, such as a hunting spear or a goblet. By shaping the ichor into a sphere and peering into its depths, a Dathomir witch can predict the future."
Old Daka continued to introduce to Fu Qinghai.
Got it, the gypsy witch's divination crystal ball.
Fu Qinghai feels that the developers and producers of the Star Wars canonical universe are somewhat lacking in creativity.
The witches of Dathomir can use ichor to shape objects, just like the bonesingers of the Eldar can use psionic energy to shape objects. The spirit bones of the Eldar are essentially a kind of "psychic plastic", so the objects made by the witches of Dathomir using ichor can also be regarded as a kind of "Force plastic".
As we all know, the main source of plastic is petroleum. If Kyber crystal is a special "Force ore", can soul fluid be regarded as "Force petroleum"?
According to Old Daka, the soul fluid is extracted from the soul world by the witches of Dathomir through spiritual rituals. But she also mentioned that there are some places in Dathomir where the soul fluid will overflow from the ground from time to time.
If the Soul World is the subspace in the Star Wars canon, then Dathomir is indeed a place where the reality barrier is weak, so even without the spiritual ritual, the spiritual fluid will naturally overflow from the Soul World into the real world.
"In addition to shaping objects, spiritual fluid has many other uses. It can be used to heal wounds or soothe the spirit. By using spiritual fluid and combining it with spells, we can repair damaged souls and bodies, and even revive the dying."
As if to give Fu Qinghai a visual demonstration, while Old Daka was telling the story, Xili was also cooperating in casting a spell, and green mist-like spiritual liquid gushed out from the cracked altar.
"In addition to shaping objects and repairing damage, Ichor can also be used as a means of attack - create a small statue of the victim, add a lock of hair and a cauldron filled with Ichor. You can damage the statue in any way you want, and the damage you cause to it will have a similar effect on you. However, everything has a price. To use this method, the witch needs to summon a large amount of Ichor in advance, which will exhaust her."
Fu Qinghai knew that this was the trick that Matron Talzin used to deal with Count Dooku in the animation "The Clone Wars".
"By channeling the most primitive hatred through the Ichor, the energy can be transformed into strong muscles and bones. This requires an outstanding shaman to lead a group of witches to achieve. The transformed warrior will become burly, one head taller than before the transformation, with a broad and strong chest and destructive arms. A proud Zabrak Nightbrother will grow a crown of horns like a Wayne stag in autumn."
Look at the exaggerated wording, as if the spiritual fluid can enhance the body more than twenty-two transformation surgeries.
"I don't want to disturb the peace of the Winged Goddess with endless requests, but when we were in dire straits, I prayed directly to the spirit for help. When the call takes effect, the ancient warrior ghosts will appear. They will rush from all directions, rushing towards the target with a gust of wind and a howl."
This move sounds very powerful. I wonder if it is the same move as the resurrection of the dead in "The Clone Wars".
As the spiritual ceremony continued, Silli had summoned a lot of green spiritual liquid. These hazy liquids emitting a glittering green light floated lightly on the altar.
"Do you want to experience the magical effects of spiritual fluid for yourself?"
Old Daka turned and looked at Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai nodded seriously.
Old Daka looked at Xierli, who nodded. Her pale and slender palm gently scooped the green spiritual liquid gathered in the depression of the altar. The spiritual liquid immediately turned into green mist and rose up around her fingers. Then, Xierli gently pressed the four fingers stained with the spiritual liquid on Fu Qinghai's brow.
Fu Qinghai suddenly felt sleepy.
My eyelids felt heavy and droopy as if they were filled with lead.
With his eyes half closed and half open, Fu Qinghai finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell to one side.
"Pfft."
"Hypnosis is another wonderful use of the soul fluid."
Old Daka looked ahead and seemed to be talking to herself:
"Witches can use spiritual fluid to hypnotize and control those with weaker mental power than themselves, especially men and outsiders. Touch the victim's forehead with your fingertips, and he will fall into a trance and be unable to refuse any of your orders."
"call."
Cyril breathed a sigh of relief:
"Luckily hypnosis works on him."
"I feel the spirit world is calling me. I don't have much time left in the real world. You must control him as soon as possible and make him a Dark Night brother who obeys your orders."
Old Daka instructed Cyril.
"But I don't understand, old Daka."
Xili looked at Lao Daka and asked:
"Why don't you do as Qingshan said?"
"You really don't understand, Sillie."
Old Daka sighed and shook her head:
"Only women can learn soul magic. This is the ancestral precept and rule left by Alya. None of us can disobey it... Besides, even if I am willing to break the rules and allow men to learn soul magic, Qingshan is not a good candidate."
"Why? His talent with the Force is so poor?"
Syllie asked in confusion.
"No, quite the opposite."
Old Daka shook her head slowly and said:
"It is precisely because his talent in the Force is too strong that I don't want to teach him soul witchcraft."
Facing Syllie's puzzled look.
Old Daka explained in a low voice:
"Although you have been on several missions, you are still inexperienced, Cirri. I saw great ambition and desire in this man's eyes, as well as the way he spoke, the kind of firm confidence and intransigence that only people in high positions and with great power have. He concealed his past, he can't be an ordinary passerby. In addition, his talent in the Force is so high that if he is allowed to learn soul sorcery, he will surely lead and even dominate the entire Dathomir, and then the Nightsisters will no longer be the Nightsisters they used to be."
Syllie understood.
What old Daka is worried about is not a man learning soul witchcraft, but a man dominating the Nightsisters.
The witches of Dathomir have maintained a matriarchal society for hundreds of years, and this is something they cannot accept at all.
"But……"
Syllie opened his mouth to make some excuse.
"Stop it."
Old Daka interrupted Silly and urged:
"Hurry up and continue casting spells to completely control his mind. I have a feeling that he will become the most powerful Nightbrother in the history of Dathomir, a Nightbrother stronger than Darth Maul and Opress. With his assistance, you can revive the Nightsisters and take revenge on the real mastermind behind the destruction of our tribe - Darth Sidious!"
Sili nodded and was about to continue casting the spell.
"Ah uh..."
Fu Qinghai yawned and slowly sat up.
"So, you would rather let soul witchcraft be completely lost, and all Dathomir witches disappear, than let a man dominate Dathomir and the Nightsisters?"
Fu Qinghai looked at Lao Daka and asked back.
Before Xili could react, Fu Qinghai grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into his arms. His iron-like hands grasped the woman's slender neck and said:
"Give me the Book of Shadows and the Book of Order, or I will kill all the women on this planet. Don't doubt that I am capable of doing what I say. If you don't believe me, then start with the woman in my arms."
These dark side force practitioners.
If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished.
Fu Qinghai snorted in his heart.
I've presented facts and reason to you, but you won't listen. You have to use force and threats to get in before you give in, right? The practitioners of the dark side of the Force are really a bunch of social Darwinists.
Xili leaned in Fu Qinghai's arms, looking up at the man's smooth jawline and clear chin. She inexplicably had a feeling that he would not really kill her.
"I should have expected that."
Old Daka looked at Fu Qinghai calmly and said:
"Ichor hypnosis can't possibly work on you."
"Give you one last second to think about it."
Fu Qinghai's hand suddenly tightened around Xierli's neck, and the woman's face suddenly became choked and flushed.
"Ugh……"
Old Daka sighed helplessly.
……
"In the spirit world, the Fanged God appears as a night gargoyle. He controls reproduction and hunting, as well as smell, hearing, and taste. He corresponds to the Winged Goddess, and together they play an important role in the spirit world."
Xili introduced to Fu Qinghai.
Old Daka's soul has returned to the soul world, and then Xili told Fu Qinghai about this knowledge.
"The power of the Fanged God is so strong that using it will cause some of the user's capillaries to rupture, and bruises will appear on the cheeks and eyes. This scar was once considered a sign of shame by the cowardly witches who followed the Book of Order, but now, it has become a symbol of honor."
Syrri pointed to his face and said:
"Our tradition of facial tattoos is to commemorate this history and to announce to the galaxy that we are the Nightsisters. The Nightbrothers also tattoo their chests and faces to show that they are our kin and warriors."
Speaking of the most classic villains in the Star Wars prequel series, we have to mention Darth Maul. Darth Maul is a Zabrak. When a Zabrak grows up, he will grow a crown of horns on his head. The common skin color of this race is yellow. The red and black patterns all over Darth Maul's body are actually acquired tattoos, because he is first a Nightbrother, and then a Sith Lord.
"So I'm going to get a tattoo on my skin too?"
Fu Qinghai pointed at his face and asked.
"If you want to be a Nightsister."
Sierri nodded and replied seriously:
"Yes."
"Well……"
Fu Qinghai touched the scar on his nose, feeling somewhat conflicted - whether it was the White Scars or the Nightsisters, it seemed that these groups with traditional customs and barbaric colors had to have some special initiation ceremonies and identification marks.
"First, tell me what abilities the Fanged God can give me."
Fu Qinghai decided to wait and see.
A smile appeared on Silli's lips.
"You come with me."
……
At night, four bright moons hang high in the sky.
In the jungle on the winding ridges of the Gravel Mountains.
“Each year, when the moon shines its brightest and the snow melts from the Stone Mountains, the Fanged Lord calls his ghost hunters for the night. I have seen those dark figures with pale eyes galloping through the forests, and I have heard their hunting cries—these ethereal riders returning to their homes bearing game they have captured along the way.”
Xili led Fu Qinghai along the ridge.
Fu Qinghai turned his head and looked around.
What ghost hunter? Why didn't I see it?
"You should know better."
Syllie stopped in annoyance:
"I'm talking about the scenes in the spirit world."
"I can't communicate with the spirit world yet."
Fu Qinghai nodded to show that he understood:
"So I can't see."
"The God of Fangs is always close to you. He walks the border between the real world and the spirit world with little effort. Every battle, feast, and bloodshed is a communion with the God of Fangs."
Silli turned back and continued to jump forward:
"For the Fanged Lord rules the hunt, and he is present when it comes to stalking, hunting, and drinking blood. He can sharpen your senses, allowing you to locate even the most elusive prey far from Dathomir."
"The Fanged God can grant us many abilities."
Searle gave an example to illustrate:
"He gave us the skill of blood tracking. As long as you drop a drop of your blood on the target, no matter where the target hides in the galaxy, you can find his trace. This is an ability that only the Nightsisters have."
It seems that Asajj Ventress used this ability of the Force to locate and assassinate the Rattatak warlord in his fortress during her time as a bounty hunter across the galaxy.
"So I'm going to go on the hunt now?"
Fu Qinghai understood immediately after hearing this, and he couldn't wait to see with his own eyes the soul world outside the real world and the God of Sharp Fangs in the soul world.
"Not urgent."
Silli stood on a huge rock and looked into the distance. Although it was still dark, the bright light cast by the four moons made the outlines of the distant scenery very clear.
"Before you start hunting, you must first understand your prey. You need to know what beasts there are on Dathomir."
