Chapter 526: The Source of Darkness
Sean leaned in and picked up the tiny skull to study it closely......
It's the palm of your hand, and it's very realistic. It feels like a real bone, but how can there be such a small skull, even if it is a newborn baby, it is impossible, but if it is not a human, it is even more unlikely that it is another animal!
There are no such animals.
Still studying the small skull, he suddenly kept his hands in front of him.
"What are you doing?!!
Turning his head to look at Ayla who was already lying on the bed, her beautiful face was slightly drunk, but there was a seriousness in her eyes when she saw herself!
"I ...... Look at you, didn't you say it's a relic of an ancient wizard?" said Sean after a moment's pause.
I didn't expect to fall asleep just now, and now I'm actually awake again.
"Forget it, I won't look at it anymore!"
Put things back.
If it were other girls, Sean might still be too lazy to quarrel, but after all, this is her 'mother's thing', let her rest early, today she is indeed alone to resist all the temptations and exchanges of the ministers of the Keselke Palace, and she is tired after drinking a lot of wine.
"Wait......"
Sean was about to go out when he was suddenly stopped by Aira.
Belch?
"Have you always been curious about the power of the ancient gods I possess?"
It's right what Sean thinks.
"Hmm. He nodded in reply.
"Actually, I'm also curious about the power you have, what kind of power do you have?" Ayla sat up from the bed and looked like she was about to get out of bed, probably really feeling dizzy and not wanting to get up, and she didn't come down when her feet turned to the side of the bed.
"My words of strength...... This is it!"
Sean thought about it, Yog Sototh's ability is too sensitive, so it goes without saying, but Ketugea's should be fine.
The palm of the hand is reversed in front of the other person......
The Flame of Ketugya is ignited again!
Like lava and blood oozing out of his arm, there was no pain but a drop fell to the ground, and the shiny marble brick floor melted into a burning hole.
"Flame...... It's no wonder that in a swamp town, the powers of the old gods have an incomprehensible nature, or they themselves seem to be something out of this world, and the more we use it, the more crazy we become......"
Ayla seemed to lose most of her alcohol, and began to tell how she had gained this power.
Probably a long time ago......
That is, when the Jagon royal family was hit by civil strife, there were rebels among the imperial ministers, and they united with the general at the time to launch a coup d'Γ©tat.
These are the stories that the Sun King later told him, and here in Ayla she has been using metaphors such as housekeepers and guards in the house, but Sean can understand the story she is telling.
The revival of a family to the decline is an indisruptible process, and even the Izdihar family, who have ruled Jagon for so many years, will have a day of decline...... It's just that they happen to be from this generation, but the two sisters and brothers were fortunate enough to be sent out of the palace by the loyal minister at the time, preserving the fire against the rebels in the future.
But even this decaying family is difficult to stand up again, and it should be said that there are not many people who can stand up in most of history.
Although the heroes who were struck down in the stories of the bards will rise up again to defeat the enemy, how many such people and how many generations of business will be ruined in reality, and it will be difficult to turn back.
For this reason, Ayla can only seek other forces to achieve it!
Fortunately, during their wanderings, the two siblings met the leader of the Sun Crown at the time, and after discovering her magical talent, they took them in.
"At that time, I was very much like your current disciple, except that I had more to do at that time. I found a way from a wizard to regain my family's glory through strength, so I searched for a stronger source of power as much as I could. β
Both eyes looked at the bone on the table at the same time.
"So you found this?"
"Well, this is probably one of the ancient treasures that the Sun Crown contains, a wizard who can awaken the soul attached to it, and I learned about the existence of the ancient gods through her and continue the research of the other party during his lifetime...... Hence the acquisition of such power. β
"How did it come about?" Sean was still curious.
I've seen the ancient gods a few times, even if it's a situation where I'm facing the other side directly, but I don't know if other people have such a situation.
"I remember the first time I got the tablet and I called out the mantra they had taught me, and that day I saw a scene that I will never forget. β
Sean crouched down to listen carefully to how Ayla felt when she saw the Old God......
"I don't know what it is, I don't even think it's real, but I'm really scared...... I can't stop telling me not to look at it, but I can't suppress my curiosity to peek, but just a glance ......" Aira's burgundy face had slowly receded at the moment, and she looked up and stared at Sean seriously.
"What do you see?"
"Didn't see anything. β
"Huh?" replied somewhat inexplicably.
"Didn't see anything?"
"Because I really didn't see anything, I remembered that it was a dark place, it seemed to be fog and it seemed to be something real, but there must have been something in the fog, and I noticed the presence of two eyes, because I was so scared that I felt that I could go crazy at any moment and be suddenly woken up, and I haven't seen anything like it since. β
"Just a glance?"
Ayla nodded affirmatively.
"Just at a glance, and since then I have felt that I am learning magic very quickly, and even increasing in level...... It's so fast, I even feel like I'm going up in level without having to do anything, and I'm getting stronger and stronger every time I use it!"
When saying this, Sean subconsciously looked at Aira's attributes.
HP [18010/18010] ......
In about a few days, the other party did increase by 10 points of blood, and if you think about it carefully, the two of them have been acting together these days, and they haven't seen each other practice or other moves, and even if you practice at this level, it is impossible to increase so fast...... In this way, its level has risen on its own, and it has grown over time!
That's pretty scary.
Although everyone likes to wait for great power, and there are even many wizards, including those mutant wizards they meet, who would rather change their race in order to gain power, but once there is always power infused, it is something else!
How much power can a person withstand?
It looks like a gift, but it's more like a destruction!
When the power is at its peak, directly pull the quarry?
"There is such a thing. β
"I've been feeling more and more scared of my power over the years, I hope to be able to piece this stone tablet together, and if I can officially summon this ancient god again, I believe it will save not only me, but also all the wizards at the moment!"
"What do you mean?" Sean said suddenly.
Ayla looked at Sean very seriously......
"The power of wizards may have originally appeared to destroy themselves or the world!"
Probably only the powerful witch in front of him would say it.
Everyone in this world is seeking power, but the 'truth' of this power may not be what humans imagine.
It is not salvation,
It's destruction!
