Chapter 526: Ancient Death

"Miss Ovilia, you said before that the elves who entered Sanssouci Valley once left Sanssouci Valley, but they couldn't really leave because of their physical death. And our bodies are still alive, so it should be easy to go back to the cave where the altar is located, right? ”

Wendy looked at Ovilia expectantly as she spoke.

Neither she nor Li Qing wanted to stay in Sanssouci Valley for a long time, and both wanted to leave as much as possible.

But alas, reality is not subject to their will.

Ovilia shook her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Wendy, the elves can indeed go back the way they came, and go directly to the altar that entered Sanssouci Valley, but you can't. ”

"Why?" Wendy was surprised.

"Because you're not elves." Ovilia said softly, "And Sanssouci Valley is a refuge for elves. Elves can come in and then go out, but races other than elves cannot. This is to prevent outsiders from finding Sanssouci Valley and returning from the same way, attracting more outsiders and posing a threat to the existence of Sanssouci Valley. So ......"

"So races other than elves can only enter, not out?" Wendy said nervously: "So outsiders like us can only be trapped and die in Sanssouci Valley in the future?" ”

"Theoretically, that's right. ”

Li Qing narrowed his eyes: "Theoretically? In other words, there are actually other possibilities? ”

"It's another possibility." Ovilia said: "But that is possible, in fact, it is also difficult to achieve. ”

Li Qing asked, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”

Ovilia didn't hesitate, as if this matter was not worth keeping secret: "Speaking of that other possibility, we must first explain the origin of Sanssouci Valley. Have you ever heard of the Ancient Grim Reaper? ”

"Ancient Death?" Li Qing shook his head. Naturally, he hadn't heard of it, he was a traveler from another world, not to mention the ancient gods, and he hadn't even figured out the various gods in the continent today.

Wendy knows a lot, and as a mage, her knowledge is much broader than that of ordinary people: "Ancient Death? Does it refer to the era of the Elven Empire? I know a little bit about that. Legend has it that in the era of the Elven Empire, the god who served death was an elven god. Could it be that Sanssouci Valley has something to do with that elven god of death? ”

In ancient times, the elven empire ruled the continent, and the main priesthoods were almost all controlled by the elven god system - at that time, the rest of the intelligent races were still in the era of ignorance, and the gods of each race were just totems in that era, at most there was a demigod who ignited the divine fire.

Of course, this time is different from the past, and the ancient elven gods have all fallen. The gods in the modern elven god system have already changed many times, and the priesthood they control is far less powerful and comprehensive than that of the ancient spirit gods. Today, the most powerful god system is undoubtedly the human god system. The god of death, who holds the priesthood of "death", is already a human god.

Ovilia bowed her head slightly: "Yes, Sanssouci Valley was created by the Elven Reaper - in fact, the Reaper of the Elven Empire was not just about death. It is also the main god of the elves, and has a series of powerful priesthoods such as elves, life, and the sun. It is the supreme of the elven god system.

"Before the destruction of the empire, the elven god stripped away the divinity of death and created an artifact. With that artifact as the core, supplemented by a small amount of life, the sun and other divinities, the creation of Zào out of the Valley of Sanssouci ......"

"It was a land of God's creation. No wonder it's so miraculous that it can give the conscious body a false body, and so real that even my perception can't tell the difference between the real and the unreal. Li Qing muttered: "So, the black fog and puppets outside Sanssouci Valley were also created by that ancient god of death?" ”

"We don't know much about the situation outside Sanssouci Valley." "When we moved into Sanssouci Valley, there was still a forest outside the valley. We don't know why the world outside Sanssouci Valley has become an underground space, and why there is a black fog that devours magic and a powerful and terrifying puppet. Perhaps, it was the arrangement made by the elven god after we moved into Sanssouci Valley to prevent Sanssouci Valley from being discovered by outsiders. ”

Li Qing nodded: "Indeed, that kind of super-large black fog, as well as that kind of powerful puppet, ordinary people really can't create it." If the ancient elf main god made the arrangement, it would make sense. ”

He touched his chin and said to himself, "If it is arranged by the elven god, then ...... Outside Sanssouci Valley, the black fog, puppets and other precautions in the underground space have been stored for more than 40,000 years? After such a long time, it can still have such a powerful power, how terrible should the black fog and puppet at the beginning? Perhaps, even the true god can devour it. ”

The precautions laid out more than 43,000 years ago will inevitably lose energy over a long period of time. And after tens of thousands of years of energy loss, the black fog can still make the legendary undead lich dare not snoop, and the puppet at the bottom of the valley can also make the sixteenth-level high-level black knight Qing Daguan can only flee in the wilderness.

It is precisely because of those kinds of precautions that for more than 40,000 years, Sanssouci Valley has been peaceful and comfortable for so long, and it has never been discovered by outsiders. But the elven god who arranged this qiē at the beginning never expected that the elves who were protected by Sanssouci Valley would lose their motivation to survive because of the long and idle comfortable life, and gradually withered and withered like flowers that lost their sunshine.

Wendy thought of this as well, and muttered, "Sanssouci Valley has indeed protected you elves from extinction. But...... What's the point? You elves in Sanssouci Valley can only live in a false illusion, and even the inheritance has been lost! ”

"Yes, our lives have lost their meaning. But the purpose of the Ancient Elven Lord God in creating Sanssouci Valley was by no means to make us idle and breathless. ”

Ovilia sighed: "The meaning of the existence of Sanssouci Valley is to let us, the elves who moved into Sanssouci Valley, retain the inheritance of the elves in the mass extinction...... After the mass extinction, we, the elves of Sanssouci Valley with a complete heritage, will be able to return to the real world again and create a glorious elven empire. However, the plan of the Lord God went wrong, and we, the elves, were finally completely trapped in the Valley of Sanssouci and could never leave. ”

Li Qing asked, "Is it because your bodies are all dead?" ”

"Yes." Ovilia said: "The bodies of more than 200,000 elves should have been protected by the altar of the main god of the elves, which was created by the main god of the elves - the main god of the elves has the realm of life, and the body of the elves under the protection of the main god should have survived for at least ten years. But no one thought that all the elves' bodies had died in just one month. And a month is not enough time to escape the mass extinction in the first place. Therefore, after losing our bodies, we were completely trapped in the Valley of Sanssouci and could no longer realize the plan of the Lord God. ”

Li Qing asked again: "The accidental death of the body of 200,000 elves should be related to the incident that led to the fall of the elven empire, right?" ”

"I don't know." Ovilia shook her head, sighed again, and said, "But it was an accident that I was able to break through the life realm of the main god and make the 200,000 elf bodies that should have survived for ten years die in just one month...... In any case, it is inseparable from the collapse of the Elven Empire. As for the specific reasons for this, there is a great secret involved, and I cannot say it explicitly. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, looked at Li Qing and Wendy, and said sincerely: "Believe me, you still don't want to know this secret." This is not for the elves of Sanssouci Valley, the remaining elves of Sanssouci Valley have actually lost the value of survival, and it doesn't matter whether they survive or not. The reason why I don't say it is for your sake. If you know this secret, then one day, your civilization will repeat the tragedy of the collapse and destruction of the Elven Empire. ”

"So strict?" Li Qing's expression was solemn, and he glanced at Wendy, tacitly no longer paying more attention to that secret - Li Qing, as a crosser in the other world, has little to do with the survival of human civilization in this world. But he is not a madman, and it is impossible for him to pursue the "secret" that may lead to the mass extinction in order to satisfy his curiosity.

As for Wendy, it's even more unlikely that she will ask more.

Having said that, Li Qing and Wendy just wanted to know how to leave Sanssouci Valley and get their bodies back in the shortest possible time. When it comes to ancient secrets, it is also because you have to understand the origin of Sanssouci Valley first, and you will be crooked before you know it.

Now it's time to get back to the topic.

"Now that we know the origin of Sanssouci Valley, can Miss Ovilleia tell us how we can leave Sanssouci Valley and get our bodies back?"

When he asked this, Li Qing had some kind of bad guess in his heart: the 200,000 elf bodies under the protection of the divine power of the ancient elf main god should have survived for ten years, but due to some accident, all the 200,000 elf bodies died within a month.

Based on her past experience, Ovilia judged that Li Qing and Wendy's bodies would survive for a month, but Li Qing thought that the truth might not be so optimistic.

More than 43,000 years ago, Sanssouci Valley had just been built, and the divine power of the Elven Lord God was still at its peak, and an accident could make its plan fail. Now that the main elven god has been dead for tens of thousands of years, most of the remaining divine power has been lost, and the altar's ability to protect the survival of the physical body will only be weakened even more.

So in Li Qing's opinion, Ovilia's old experience is outdated. It is likely that his and Wendy's bodies will not survive for as long as Ovilia said.

As a black knight, Li Qing has a strong physique, and his condition may be better. But Wendy is a little mage, his physique is already weak, his consciousness is out of his body, he can't eat and drink, and he is lucky to survive for three or five days.

Therefore, you must try your best to find a way to leave Sanssouci Valley and get your body back within three days. Otherwise, the consequences will be quite unbearable.
