Chapter 195: The Pope's Ambition
Time: Black Gate 13 / Location: Talon County in the epic
The old man restrained Modra Mordgood in the blink of an eye with a holy power that I could not match, and his long snow-like beard was scattered across his chest, revealing a kind and kind half of his face. I have a little more certainty of the old man's identity, I have seen the Pope in Fairbanks' memory, and his incomparably holy temperament is enough to turn a wild wolf into a pet dog, so that I have the impression of his supreme majesty and completely ignore his appearance, and I am sure that many people who have seen the Pope think the same way.
Under my questioning, the old man nodded at me slightly.
At the same time, Modra let out a feeble cry, "Old thing, let me go!"
Only then did the old man come to his senses, and with a smile on his face, he blew the horn again, and Modra let go and threw herself into the old man's arms. Abby and Minna hurriedly helped her into the bar again. And the old man turned around to leave, how could I let the big fish slip through the net so easily, so I quietly blocked in front of him.
"It must be hard to convince all of Azeroth that you're dead, right?"
"Uh... What are you talking about? I'm just a hangover old man, let me get through. He nudged my arm in front of him, and slipped through the gap beneath it.
"Pope!Alonsos Fao!" I pronounced his name behind him, and his body shook as if he had been struck by lightning and tried to control it. Considering all the above clues, I am even more convinced that he is Pope Fao.
"Why do you recognize me?" the old man confessed so quickly, I was a little surprised.
"I can hear the words of your heart. Actually, this sentence is also a boast, because his holy power is much higher than mine, although it is not as exaggerated as Abby's description of the ocean and the ditch, but I am still at a disadvantage compared to the two, so I can't hear his heart.
"Do you want to use [Psychic Vision]?" the old man asked curiously, not hiding his growing curiosity about my identity.
"I can't use the kind of holy magic you mentioned, but I wonder if you've heard anything about the Chosen One?"
"Oh, young man, which angel is the chosen one?" said the old man, visibly pretending to be indifferent, stretched out a withered hand and flicked the scepter at my waist with his fingernails.
"Lucifer. "I'm completely honest, because I know that if you want to know someone's secrets, you have to show your sincerity.
"Well, like Lucifer's spokesperson. His tone made me feel that he knew Lucifer well, but since he had the gifts of the seven archangels, and it made sense to know the angels like me, I didn't care.
"I do look like him, have you seen him in human form?"
He did not answer me directly, but said, "What about your Naru, the Chosen One." ”
"Lucifer did say he was going to give me an entourage when he left, but I haven't encountered it yet. ”
"Didn't Lucifer say that the thing was activated with the master's abilities, and if you have the power of the Chosen One, why hasn't your Naru found you yet?"
"Your Excellency, how do you know these things, and are you also the Chosen One?"
"That's kind of interesting, well, even if it's okay. ”
"And where's your Naru?"
"She's dead ... The old man was asked by me recklessly, and a bitterness suddenly appeared in his smile.
"I deeply regret and mourn what happened to her, but what I want to know most now is how did you 'die', Pope?" I cruelly asked, if the Pope, who seemed to be a pillar between the vast earth and the vast universe, was still there, maybe Lordaeron would not have become what he would have been.
"What is your duty?"
"I fight for peace!"
"Yes, you have ambition, but are you ready for everything that needs to be sacrificed?"
"With my body, in exchange for liberation and freedom, even if my body and soul are devastated, I have no regrets!"
It also means that people related to you may also be involved. ”
"I can only try to protect them, even if it costs me my life. ”
"But man only has one life, and if your life is lost to protect your companions, what about liberation and freedom?"
"People don't have more than one life, just like you. ”
"But how many people in the world have the same fate as me?"
"I'm one of them, I've died twice by now, but I'm still standing in front of you. ”
The old man's eyes suddenly widened, and a mountain of holy power rushed towards me, just now when he was fighting against Modra, he didn't have a murderous aura at all, and now I actually felt the killing intent.
I hurriedly used my holy power to fight against it, and the palms of the two of them clapped together in an instant, both of them had no actual strength, but the energy contained in them was enough to melt the iron stone. The Holy Light is also a kind of light, which will be refracted by various natural substances and gradually weakened, I don't understand why he suddenly attacked me, now there is no plasticization of the Holy Light, that is, there is no Holy Snake and no horn and lily, it is simply a competition of quantity, whoever cannot maintain the Holy Power will die, either the cells on the body will be multiplied several times and burst to death, or the cells like Wiesler are abnormally fast, and the heat generated by friction will make the body burn.
I felt that the holy power coming from the palm of Fa'o's palm was endless, but my own holy power was getting less and less, and it would not be long before I could be wiped out. At the last moment, just as a person withdraws his hand when he accidentally touches something hot, my body turned on its self-protection mechanism, and the dark stream of hellish magic rushed out like a ruin of blood vessels and pores, engulfing all the holy light in its path, and a darkness covered half of the alley in an instant.
Light can illuminate darkness, darkness can swallow the light of hope, and this pair of natural enemies once again erupted into a fierce confrontation at this time, and they did not give in to each other. Fao and I have long since been unable to see each other's figures, one is too dark, the other is too bright.
Suddenly, I only felt that my palm was empty, and Fa Ao collected his mana first, but I was not mentally prepared, and the retreat of the holy light was like a breach of the embankment, and the black qi of my cavity jumped to envelop the old man.
I fell like a thousand feet in the air, the heart of the river broke the cable and broke the boat, if he was killed by my mistake, then I would be finished. I hurriedly intercepted the flow of hellish mana.
After only a second, the dark alley suddenly turned on the light switch, enough to dazzle the blinding eyes, and the black smoke and black gas were completely vanished by the holy light. The old man's loving smile floated in front of him again, as if he were not the one who had just suddenly taken my life.
"Is this the future, the Light!" said Fao, sighing sadly.
"You're prying into my mind, trying my powers by the way. What do you see? Do you see what the world is supposed to be guarding by you has become?"
"I saw it, I saw it all. ”
"Then you don't want to save them?"
"Ellsbeth wants to rule the world with the undead, and I am facing the destruction of the whole world. You and I know which is more important. ”
"What are you up against?"
"Dark Titan Sargeras!"
"Wasn't he killed by those four heroes in Karazhan?"
"This is what Tulayan told me before he went to the Dark Gate, and it is very likely that Sargeras was only scattered and that his true body was gathering power in some unknown corner of the universe. Khadgar mentions that he had seen his teacher Medivan inject something into the Pillar of Creation, and he thought it wasn't mana, but soul. It is known that Sargeras put his soul on Medivan to open the Dark Portal, intending to bloodied Azeroth. The raid on Karazan by Tulayan and others disrupted Sargeras's plans and shattered his soul. I've had some research into soul magic, so I'm bold enough to guess that the Pillars of Creation are now Sargeras's Horcruxes. ”
"So you're trying to destroy the Pillar of Creation?"
Fao shook his head: "No, the Pillar of Creation held by Medivan has been destroyed. ”
"What is the Pillar of Creation? Is it a stone?"
No wonder, few people delve into the truth of the legend. In fact, there are seven pillars of creation, and Medivan only has one of them, which is a legal code, known as the Book of Medivan. ”
"Why is the Pillar of Creation a book?"
"Since the creation of 10,000 civilized worlds by the gods of the Heavenly Realm, each planet has the power of the true god that has survived, and this power is called the Pillar of Creation, not a stone pillar as you understand it. Medivan harvested the power of the true god of creation and made it into his own mana book. ”
"Then why did the book break again?"
"The book was shattered by the power of Anduin Lothar's god of war in the Battle of Karazhan, and the power was scattered to many of Medivan's collection of artifacts, the orc Garona was a thief, she killed her lover Medivan with her own hands, and Khadgar and others knew that they could not persuade her anymore, so they separated from her and went to the world of Draenor on the other side of the Dark Gate. Garona was the mistress of Karazhan, but she didn't want to live in this sad place anymore, because she was already pregnant with Rokka, so she wanted to go out and live a secluded life with those treasures. Little did she know that the dozen or so weapons had become Sargeras's new Horcruxes the moment the tome was destroyed. He gave me a brief explanation. I knew a little bit about that history, so I didn't have too much trouble to hear, and Karazhan was Abby's home and my first strategic stronghold for me and my friends. Medivan is Abby's adoptive father, and Garona is Mad'an's biological mother, and Mad'an is a half-orc child in Deathstroke Town brought by the ancestor Merry Winterwind, so the child develops very slowly, he is actually a year or two younger than Abby, but he still looks like a child. Among those who participated in the raid on Karazan was General Tulayan, one of the five paladins, who was my idol and a fellow countryman.
At the beginning in Andorhar, Kel'thugad's terrifying expression after hearing that Abby was the adopted daughter of Medivan is now about to reveal the truth, the Pillar of Creation itself is power, it is endless mana, and now this power is scattered on so many weapons, let alone collect them all, even if you get one or two, you can dominate one side. But I doubt Abby really knows the whereabouts of Garona and those weapons. Medivan died in Karazhan in the fifth year of the Black Gate, and in the sixth year of the Black Gate was resurrected by Egwene with half of his life's mana, and seventeen years later, Medivan entered the Gate of Time and Space after the Battle of Mount Hyjal. And there is no more news of Garona, which means that the whereabouts of those who know the clues to the artifact are now unknown.
"Did you find Garona?"
"No, but the creation artifact will make people who are psychologically fragile change their personalities, and good people become bad people, and bad people become good people. ”
"What do you mean by the destruction of the world? That doesn't sound like enough to destroy the world. ”
"Because I found out that someone was collecting these things at all costs, I suspect that they want to resurrect Sargeras. ”
"Who's collecting them?"
"A group of mysterious people who are gradually growing, to tell you the truth, I found the whereabouts of a Horcrux a year ago, which could have completely purified the evil souls in it, but the purification method was disturbed by a hunched man in black, and I was eaten by that black power, so I died. I am now attached to a devout old believer in order to continue this cause. ”
"Oh, so Grandma Modra doesn't know you now. I don't know where the Pope found the weapon, but when we get back to the real world, I can help you. ”
"That's great, because this old cultist is also dying, and I don't know if I can find another qualified and willing body. The one I found last time was called [Atheist]. ”
"Ah??? Big Finn's atheist?"
"The heavy sword has been purified, but unfortunately the black soul in the sword has been snatched by the camel. I just weakened it and lost my life. My Narum plum fruit also poured out all her holy power to save me, causing the lamp to dry up... ”
"I've also seen the camel you mentioned, that organization acts despicably and is not very strong, but it is good at killing people with knives and fishing in troubled waters. ”
"I have seen all this in your mind with the world of my mind, and that little sister named Pamela is really pitiful. I don't think you've gone back in time, you've fallen into a book. ”。。。。。。 (Rabbit pen Kang slugging cow)
