Volume 1 The Kingdom of the Dead (7) Funeral Songs

When the night converged, and the light of the sun 'Kando' fell on the earth again, the citizens of Tallinn who were bathed in the sun again were horrified to find that they had just gone about their ordinary life in the night, and people were traveling, working, and studying in the dark, as in the past, which must have been a strange scene.

In the empty tower in the center of Tallinn, the substitute Bennis finally opened his cloudy eyes and stroked his chest with a long sigh of relief.

Nothing had happened before, and his discussion with Steve had never included such a situation, and they had never expected the legendary friendly Caesar to bring such a brazen opening.

It was a feeling of being imprisoned in his mind, and even Bennis, who had no waves in his heart, didn't want to experience it again. The world is ignorant, but it is also their luck that they will only live peacefully in the realm of 'night'.

But what Bennis, who has touched the boundaries of the Sanctuary, feels is a process that transcends what the senses can describe: all reason is deprived, the body is in motion, but the soul does not belong to him, and the body is just a mechanical reproduction of the actions of the past.

Bennis, who was in prison, survived it all with the most devout prayers for Ouranos. When his spirits were a little calmer, he was tired and established a spiritual connection with Steve, who had also just broken free.

"Old man, we all guessed wrong, that adult is not good, let's plan for the worst........

Of course, Roger didn't know all this, at this time he just lowered his head and played with his fingers, and the bright sun shone on him, but it didn't bring a trace of warmth.

"What are you talking about, I don't think I understand. Roger's eyes dodged, and although Roger knew that quibbling was useless at such times, he was still willing to try.

Caesar stretched out his strong hands and pulled Roger's head back, making him look him directly in the eyes, "What, do you need me to help you remember?"

"In AE1027, in the resting capital of White Stone Fort, the rank sanctuary beyond the Great Magus appeared for the first time in front of the world's eyes with the roar of forbidden spells, and the epic scene was continuously praised by countless historians, mages, and poets, and has been passed down to this day. ”

Soon after, the Cult of the Gods, which had long regarded magic as a taboo, issued a proclamation acknowledging the dignity of sanctuary and magic for the first time, which shocked the world along with Goode's theory. ”

"The world thought it was the first oracle in millennia from the gods in 'Miracles of Magic', but in reality, the vague oracle was just the dream of the Pope of Light.

Just to ease the relationship between the mages who have received a huge boost and the religious community, which is a tacit secret among the mainstream religions. After all, the gods have disappeared from the continent for a long time. ”

"Long enough for all beings to completely forget the glory of the past and wantonly seize the majesty of the gods"

"But those papal emperors would never have imagined that on that day, an oracle really came down on the mainland.

The only person who witnessed this was a hunter in the mountains, where the light underwent a wonderful change beyond the ordinary law.

It's like someone has put all their noticeable eyes in front of the eyes of a hunter thousands of miles away, and guess what he sees, Roger?"

Roger broke free of Caesar's hand and looked natural, "Comet, meteorite, can't be a UFO?" ”

"Roger, you're really the same," Caesar looked at Roger helplessly, "since you don't want to answer, then let me tell you." "A shadow hangs over Caesar, reflecting his shadowy human form.

Through the hunter's cloudy gaze, he saw the battlefield that had just ended in the White Stone Fort thousands of miles away, silent screams, blood, severed limbs, and a touch of pure light mixed with the forbidden aurora, and the brilliant light streaked across the battlefield and flew towards the southeast.

That was the direction of the ruins of Antalya, a spectacle that had been witnessed by countless people only from afar and from a special point of view. ”

"The foolish hunter was terrified, and fell to his knees in the dirt, and then he looked up tremblingly, and saw that the holy light had been inexplicably intercepted!"

"The light is distorted as if it was captured by a black hole, and in fact I suspect you did unleash a small black hole spell, and then the camera was pulled in, as if the zoom button was clicked, and the trembling hunter saw the point of light disappear into the body of a man in black and gold armor. Subsequently, the picture shattered. ”

"When the hunter came home, he fell seriously ill, and unfortunately, he did not survive the winter, and the story did not survive, and of course, no one would have believed this absurdity at the time. ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

Roger clapped his hands and said indifferently, "It's an interesting story, but what does it have to do with me." ”

As for asking Caesar how he found out, all this was never on Roger's radar, it was nothing more than that he had found a diary or manuscript left by a hunter, and restored the scene with his strange concept.

So far, Caesar's unknown concept has shown so much external potential that Roger cannot deduce the name of the concept.

Caesar got up and paced around Roger, "You won't really forget, you used to be the chief knight of the Black Armor Knights of the Aujin Empire, the 'lone wolf who shuttles through the battlefield' Lord Hunt!"

"The official record is that your knights only have a record of leaving the Third Legion to camp in the mountains of the southeast after leaving the White Rock Fort, and there is no record of coming back!

The Knights, who should theoretically avoid the forbidden spell, have not appeared until the destruction of the kingdom by Augin, so let me guess where the quick-witted Lord Hunter will take the Knights, after all, it is so close to the resting port city of Vicz......"

"That's enough!" Roger loudly stopped Caesar's next speculation, "the oracle is indeed with me, what do you want?"

Caesar stopped behind Roger, "Don't worry, I never wanted to move the people there, but I'll say that hiding is never the best way." A mirror silently appeared in front of Roger's eyes, reflecting the clear figures of the two of them.

"Look at yourself, you are a legend in the countless epic poems, and how you are now. ”

Staring at Caesar and himself in the mirror, Roger sighed, rolled up his sleeves, the concept of mutilation was awakened, and Roger's little magic power was quietly consumed.

His right hand was traced back to a point in time in the definition, Roger's originally smooth and immature arm gradually developed, thickened, and soon grew into a muscular arm, the skin of the scarred arm was engraved with strange words in gold, and the holy light descended on the small room at this moment, as if it could purify all filth.

Caesar watched Roger's movements in a fit of fascination, and this is the part that remains of Roger's concept of "rebirth", the concept of "Beginning".

Defining the initial point in time and space, and gaining the ability to return to the initial point by spending the corresponding mental power, the oracle is saved in this way almost seamlessly.

Caesar's attention was quickly focused on the writing, the strange symbols did not belong to any known writing system, such writing only appeared in one place - the bronze pillar of the Antalya ruins, the place where the sages of all races were inspired by the gods, this is the text of the gods.

Roger looked at Caesar in disgust, as he was stroking the divine inscription engraved on his arm like a proper pervert, and seemed to be trying to decipher it. Forced by the situation, Roger was ready to endure all this silently, but Caesar, who was bowing down to observe, restrained his smile and solemnly said to Roger, "Thank you." ”

"What the hell is wrong, you are very abnormal today. Roger, who had not been afraid of threats before, now seemed to have a chill on his back, which was by no means normal Caesar.

Caesar stepped aside into the shadows and said in the same tone: "Put away the oracle, I've got what I want"

The atmosphere fell silent, and Roger asked in shock, "You know the meaning of the oracle in such a short time?" It is no wonder that Roger was surprised, even among the university scholars who are now concentrating on the study of the divine language in Antalya, no one has ever been able to decipher its rules, even if they can't even guess the meaning.

In fact, the opinion of mainstream religious scholars is more that the sages felt the presence of the divine majesty from the symbols of the divine texts and were inspired to be redeemed, while the divine texts as the carriers of divine power cannot be interpreted.

Caesar, wrapped in the shadows, smiled and said, "Of course not, I never thought I could crack the Prophet, this is what I was hoping for." ”

The shadows dissipated, and Caesar, who had been young and handsome, was now old like a dead branch, and a little pure gold bloomed in Caesar's hand, and his golden hand fluttered away like grit blown by the wind.

Witnessing all this, Roger didn't care about the shock, and suddenly jumped up, leaning against the wall, with a look of horror on his face, "What is this! Divine Blood? Or is it a fragment of Godhead?"

The old Caesar said in a hoarse voice: "No, Roger, don't speculate about the gods here based on the fantasy novels you have read on the Internet in the past, they are very different. You don't want to know why Huck would want to force me to go back, and what makes me so hysterical?"

"Because I cracked the secret of the Sanctuary blockade!" Caesar's tone suddenly became excited.

"What!"

Roger's shock hung on his face unreservedly, and everyone in the world felt that Master Goode's research had truly opened the door to the wizarding world, but only by truly understanding Goode's magic theory and verifying it through a large number of calculations would he discover the endless abyss hidden underneath.

No matter what your talent is, no matter how fast you grow, as long as you are a creature in this world, your maximum total amount of magic power is a certain amount! Someone has set a shackle on the creatures on this road! The final stage of this restriction is the Sanctuary.

Although this conclusion is meaningless to most people on the continent, this limited future has left those who enter the Sanctuary confused, and the strict hierarchical pyramid is missing the part of the spire! magic, knights, priests, all of this has no way forward.

"This is the answer to everything, the key to crossing the blockade of the Sanctuary" Caesar's dissipation continued, the golden light flickered and wanted to break free, but was firmly clamped by Caesar's magic, "This is a condensed concept from God, and the gods of this world are all condensed concepts!"

Such a simple answer hit Roger hard, "The concept of condensation? So what is the source of the powerful power of the gods, and what is the value of what I have accumulated by constantly resetting?"

At the moment when Roger lost his mind, Caesar's old body burst out and rushed towards Roger, and the right hand of the forearm that dissolved under the golden light pierced Roger's chest fiercely, and the hard-hit Roger didn't have time to say a word, his consciousness fell into the familiar darkness, and the power containing the 'initial' surged in Roger's body, and the reset was about to begin.

The panting Caesar pulled out the broken heart in Roger's body with his backhand, and the golden light was embedded in it, turning Roger's heart into a handful of blood, and Caesar pressed it into his body without hesitation.

"Don't be confused, Roger, everything will pass", Caesar, who also had a broken heart, fell weakly against the wall and slowly collapsed, "We still have a long time"

The dying Caesar coughed up a mouthful of blood, stared at the collapsed Roger, and said with a smile, "Haha, if this is in a novel, are we considered to be abusive?" Before the end of the words, Caesar's hand hung down weakly, and the bodies of the two dead turned into pure points of light at the same time, floating in the sunlight without knowing where to go.......

I don't know how long it took, but Lin was woken up by a knock on the door, rubbing her eyes, and it was twilight outside the window.

"I slept all day? Why didn't Roger call me, what is this?" A silver-white object slipped down on Lynn's pillow, and Lynn glanced at it as a ring, and hurried to open the door, bothering to study it.

Passing by the living room, the messy scene made Lynn wrinkle her erect nose, the table was overturned, and a dull bow was stuck horizontally in the sofa, poking a big hole in the cheap sofa.

"Roger, what is this doing? With doubts in mind, Lynn hurried to the porch and opened the door.

Outside the door stood an old man Lynn was unfamiliar with.

"Hello Miss, I'm Bennis, is Lord Caesar here?"
