Chapter 133: The Successor
According to the Raven Patriarch, the history of Tiana is more than 30,000 years, but the "last Raven Patriarch" is 12,000 years ago. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Wen.NetLuo Songxi wanted to ask the reason, but he expected that the ending would be very tragic, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
The Raven Patriarch naturally knew what he wanted to ask, and let out a long sigh.
"Twelve thousand years ago, the greatest catastrophe ever occurred in the face of Tia, dark creatures swept through the entire plane, and even six true god-level abyss high priests teamed up to break into the Raven Holy City to snatch the key to the dead moon. I activated Project Moonfall, and this was the only time the Moonfall Key was activated. ”
"The creatures of darkness have been driven back to the earth, but we, the Raven race, along with many races on the Tia side, have become extinct, and the historical heritage of the Tia side has been cut off. ”
"It took a long time for our plane to return to its original equilibrium. ”
In just a few words, the patriarch of the crow people sketched an extremely thrilling history. But in the same way, for this catastrophe that deserves to be written about, he seems to be a little sorry for the words.
Luo Songxi wanted to ask something, but the Raven Patriarch had already continued.
"I should have died in that catastrophe, but this enchantment that shrouded the Holy City was jointly laid out by three elven great elders who were proficient in the laws of space and had reached the peak of true gods when the thirty-six clans were created. ”
"And the core of maintaining the enchantment is the elven supreme treasure 'Mirror of the World' that they left in the temple. As my body was shattered, the mirror left behind by the Elven Ancestor absorbed my dissipating consciousness into it. ”
"I think this is also the afterhand laid by our ancestors, the holder of the key to protect the falling moon. ”
"But the Mirror of Avalogue cannot maintain my consciousness permanently, it needs the support of my own soul energy, and for 12,000 years, in order to grasp the situation of the rest of my life after the plane catastrophe, I have scanned the plane of Tia several times through the Mirror of Avalokites. ”
"But more often than not, it is to fall into a slumber of weakness in the soul. Now, there is very little energy left, and once it is depleted, my consciousness will fall into a deep sleep forever. ”
"I've lived for so many years, and I've wanted to be free from this long emptiness. However, I still have a responsibility to unfinished, and the Key of the Falling Moon has been lying quietly next to me for more than 12,000 years. ”
"Although the catastrophe of 12,000 years ago was a devastation to the dark creatures, according to their development potential, sooner or later they will surpass the terrestrial creatures again - perhaps just when the next Kuroshio Tide comes. ”
"The Key to the Falling Moon must be passed on, and the creatures of darkness must know that our ultimate fear of them is not gone. ”
"So the last time I woke up, I have been carefully controlling my energy output, using all my soul energy to open the gates of the Raven Holy City to the entire plane every fifty years. See 1 Mao 2 Line 3 Chinese Network"
"I'm looking forward to having someone who is qualified in every way to inherit this Key to the Falling Moon. ”
"It's a pity that with my current ability, opening the Holy City once can only control the enchantment to investigate seven people at most, the base is too small, and for hundreds of years, I haven't been able to pick a suitable candidate. ”
"Seeing that my soul energy is decaying little by little, I don't know if I can survive another fifty years. Luckily, this time, I met you. You said earlier that I was picking people, and I was picking the heir of the Key of the Falling Moon, and you were the one who was picking. ”
In the process of the crow patriarch telling this long story, Luo Songxi had already vaguely guessed the purpose of the crow man patriarch.
But he still had many doubts in his mind, and he finally seized the opportunity to ask, "Can you tell me what the details of the Moonfall Project are, and if it is so effective, why must it be activated at a time of life and death in the plane? Where is its cruelty? And 12,000 years ago, why was the historical inheritance of Tiana completely severed?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that just yet. ”
To Luo Songxi's surprise, the Raven Patriarch did not answer his question, but said to him:
"The heir to the Key of the Falling Moon, I am only chosen, and I am not qualified to make the final decision. Similarly, once you have the Key to the Falling Moon, you can't use it yet. ”
"Take the Key of the Falling Moon and travel to the Troll Mountain on the Lizardtail Peninsula, where the Council of the Twelve Progenitors, who created the Plane of Tia, has a thought left behind that you need to seek their final approval. ”
"I've left a message in the Key to the Falling Moon, and when you get their approval, you'll know everything about the Falling Moon Project. At that point, you will naturally know why this plan is so great and why it is so cruel. ”
"But I believe in my vision, with your qualifications and merits, you will definitely be recognized by them. Oh, by the way, the threshold to enter the Troll Sacred Mountain is the Golden Rank, otherwise you will be crushed by the power of the Holy Mountain, and you may need to cultivate for a while. ”
"But I've been waiting for 12,000 years, and I won't care about this little time. ”
Luo Songxi thought for a moment and asked, "Actually, I still haven't figured it out, why didn't you choose the Holy Hammer brothers, didn't choose His Majesty Galedar, didn't choose General Konica, but chose me?
"In the third test, I actually said it. The people you mentioned, in your country, in your camp, they are truly remarkable people. But their problem is that the interests of the country and race carry too much weight in their hearts. The Raven Patriarch replied.
"And the final test, in fact, I want to see, is whether you have the determination to give up narrow racial interests and fight against the dark creatures together for the sake of the continuation of the Tiana civilization. ”
"For the sake of the continuation of civilization, we crow people can spend our entire lives in the holy city as a prison. For the continuation of civilization, countless races have disappeared into the long river of history in brutal battles. When the Kuroshio is not so violent, or in the era when there is no Kuroshio, how can you forget the common mission of the entire plane and surface creatures, and put the interests of your own race, and even the country, in the highest position?" asked the Raven Patriarch rhetorically.
Luo Songxi was silent. After a long time, he asked the Raven Patriarch, "What ......about it?" Is it because I'm just an inconspicuous human being compared to them, and I don't even have the opportunity to consider the interests of the entire race, that you've picked me?"
"Hehe, then you're too arrogant. "First of all, my time is really running out, and I won't have much choice. But in my heart, I really don't see that paranoid racial view in you. In your memory, I saw you helping kobolds and giving free medical treatment to dwarves, which is something I appreciate. ”
"Of course, the reason why I didn't hesitate to pick you in the end was that I sensed that you had killed an Abyss High Priest from the underworld. ”
"This memory is overshadowed by the High Priest's rich dark energy, so I can't see how you did it. But at such a young age, to be able to kill an Abyss High Priest is an extremely remarkable feat, even in our time. ”
"This is a testament to your extraordinary wisdom and courage, and even more so to your unwavering stand on right and wrong. Even as a reward for this unsurpassed feat, I should pass this Key to the Falling Moon into your hands. ”
The High Priest of the Abyss?he didn't have any idea when he heard it outside the palace, but now he knew that it was a god-level powerhouse among the dark creatures. Did you kill a god-level powerhouse yourself? What plane jokes are you making?
But he remembered that it was the black hedron that went berserk, and after the confrontation with the beam, the Raven Patriarch decided that he had killed an Abyss High Priest, and this black spar should be a token of the killing of the Abyss High Priest.
And this black hedron is actually a relic of Julie Wine Fire. Could it be that Julie Winefire, or the person who controlled Julie Winefire, killed an Abyss High Priest?
However, the investigation of the dwarves later confirmed that Julie Jiuhuo had a close connection with Jinghaihou, could it be that Jinghaihou organized a siege and killed an abyss high priest?
Only Jing Haihou, who sits on the entire imperial navy, can have the possibility of besieging and killing a god-level powerhouse.
At this moment, the black energy around him had begun to thin out, and it was still fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was finally freed from the boundless darkness and could take in the sights around him.
It is a room of less than ten square meters, and the furnishings in the room are extremely simple. A plan with a quaint mirror on it, a futon in front of it, and nothing else in the room.
The more than 300 clansmen of the Raven People have been in such a simple room, drawing the ground as a prison and trapping them for a lifetime, just for a button that they will press if they don't know which generation they will into.
Luo Songxi couldn't help but feel a heartfelt reverence in his heart.
On the side of the futon, a skeleton lay on its side. Judging from the size of the skeleton, its owner must have been very tall. Behind the skeleton, four pairs of wing bones protruded. A few crystalline feathers float around the wingbones.
Not far from the bones, there was a red and blue pillar about ten centimeters long, lying silently on the ground.
The red and blue color blocking, the smooth but slightly matte surface material, and the outrageous shape make this pillar look completely devoid of any texture at all, and it is completely impossible to see what earth-shattering energy will be contained in such a pillar.
Luo Songxi couldn't help but think again, could this key to the falling moon be what Jinghaihou wanted to get again and again?
But the Key to the Falling Moon, in fact, has no value for an individual, or even for a force, on the contrary, it is just a heavy responsibility.
Could it be that Jing Haihou wanted to take back the Key of the Falling Moon because he knew the secret of the Key of the Falling Moon, so as to take the initiative of the plane war into his own hands?
If this is the case, is it true that his purpose and starting point are just and noble?
If that's the case, compared to a kid like himself, who is only at the silver level, wouldn't it be more secure for Jinghai Hou to be in charge of the Key to the Falling Moon?
"That's absolutely not going to work!" the Raven Patriarch caught Luo Songxi's thoughts and said sharply, "The Key of the Falling Moon and the secret behind the Key of the Falling Moon can only be held by you alone, and you must not give it to others. ”
Luo Songxi nodded, and he picked up the pillar that looked very crudely made.
On the contrary, what is left behind by the existence of this ruin, which is an ancient gift to the explorers? On the contrary, it leaves behind a history that is extremely cruel, and a trust that is related to the fate of the entire seat.
And he is the inheritor of this history and this trust. He no longer thinks about pretending to others, since he has agreed, then use all his strength to protect this trust.
"In addition to the Key to the Falling Moon, I have a few more things for you. There was a halo of light on the mirror, but the halo looked extremely dim, as if it could be extinguished at any time, but the voice of the Raven Patriarch turned soft again, "May the God of Ravens bless you, and may you protect this plane." ”
