Volume 1 The Rise of Darkness Chapter 35 The Telling of the Ages

Zheni glanced at Tamar, who was dizzy, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, dear explorer. I forgot to tell you that the places around me were heavily restrained. With your current abilities, you can't crack it at all. However, the poor tears outside can break this ban. ”

As he spoke, his nose twitched a few times and his gaze fell on Zhou Chang's body.

When Zhe Nie looked at Zhou Chang, he suddenly heard Taizhang say to him: "The Xuan Qi you are talking about, is it the ancient undead creature with a corrosive aura outside?"

Zhe Nie let out a long breath, "I didn't expect that this young man of yours had some ability, and he actually saw that the poor came from a long time ago." However, he was not an ancient creature, but from a much more distant wilderness. ”

"Flood Desolation?" Angelina was a little puzzled, "Didn't you say that during the Flood Famine, the Chaos Continent had just spawned the Protoss, and other creatures had only appeared in ancient times?"

A smile erupted from Zhenena's face, which had already been distorted by pain, "Xuan Qian can also be regarded as having the body of a demigod, it is the slave of Hessey, the goddess of the night who created night and death. This city of darkness is the abode of Hessehi, the goddess of the night, during the Flood. After the gods ascended to the heavenly realm, their slaves did not follow them to ascend, but were abandoned on the continent. This poor man was one of the many slaves who were forsaken by the gods. ”

Zheni breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When Hessey and the gods flew to the heavenly realm, Xuan Qian has been dormant in the depths of the underground of the Night Palace. It survived for tens of thousands of years by sucking the corrosive gas from the ground. ”

"After the end of the famine, the ancient era began, and the gods ascended to the heavenly realm at the end of the ancient times. In the early days of antiquity, the gods created all living beings according to the revelation of the heavens. With the evolution and reproduction of living beings, in the middle of antiquity, many powerful races gradually appeared. These races, in turn, have fought countless wars because of their faith, lust, and endless greed. The defeated races either became extinct from the continent or became slaves of other races. ”

At this point, Zhenie suddenly closed his eyes, and his face, which was half larger than a human, kept twitching, as if these memories had plunged him into great pain.

After a few minutes, Zheni slowly calmed down and opened his eyes, "Around the sixteenth thousand years of the Era, the Night City was discovered by the Demon Clan and occupied this place. The demon who occupied the city of Night at that time was the leader of the demon clan's purple mage and the creator of nightmares - Nadegar. He found that there were many ancient ruins carved with strange bone patterns, and with his wisdom, he quickly figured out that those bone patterns were actually the words used by the ancient gods. Although he could guess that the words were probably in the handwriting of the gods, he was not able to decipher them. Later, he told the Ten Thousand Demon King about it. So, the Demon King himself came to the City of Darkness, and with his talent that was different from ordinary demons, he deciphered a lot of information about the undead from it. ”

"The reason why the last war waged by the demons, humans, and witches against the undead clan was able to achieve a major victory, thus sealing the lord of hell, the Aja King, and making the entire undead clan almost extinct on the continent, was because of the bone writing on the ancient ruins deciphered by the Ten Thousand Demon King. ”

However, although the Ten Thousand Demon King was powerful, he was not able to decipher all the words on it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhenie's face became unusually distorted, "We orcs originally belonged to a branch of the demon clan like the barbarian demon clan, the night demon clan, the blood demon clan and other demon clans. It's just that in ancient times, we orcs did not fully evolve, just like deformities, and were humiliated and ridiculed by other demon races. In the end, they banished our orc leaders, taking us orcs as slaves, and whipping and enslaving us to this day. ”

Zheni choked up a little, took a deep breath, and said again: "In order for the fate of our orcs to enjoy the same treatment as other demon clans, I have tried everything I can. Later, I heard that the Ten Thousand Demon Kings were looking for something to crack the ancient script in the entire demon clan. I was honored to be friends with a great guardian in the Elven land, the Sea of Forests. Because of this friend, I was invited into the Tree of Knowledge to view the collection of books. ”

Angelina's eyes lit up when she heard the 'Tree of Knowledge', "Mr. Zhennie, can you tell us about the Elven Tree of Knowledge? I heard that there are countless books there, including written records and books of the extinct races from ancient times. ”

Zheni nodded, "Yes, the Tree of Knowledge, from the outside, is a big tree that is wider than a palace, taller than a mountain, and reaches into the sky. The Tree of Knowledge is surrounded by a door made of ancient vines. Inside the Tree of Knowledge, the walls of the tree are clinging to green and glowing vines. Countless green lights illuminated the inside of the vast Tree of Knowledge as if it were on a bright meadow. The Tree of Knowledge has ninety-nine floors, each of which has nothing but books, bookcases, and desks. Inside, even a vulgar person will be cultivated into a gentleman. I beg Sulu, the king of the elves, to let me read these books in the Tree of Knowledge. ”

Speaking of this, Zheni raised his head and looked at the roof, revealing a leisurely expression, "The king of the elf clan has the bearing of embracing all things, and he happily agreed to my request. Because of my love for the history of the mainland, I specifically searched for books on the written records of the history of various ethnic groups, and studied the civilizations of various ethnic groups with hunger. About ten years have passed in the Tree of Knowledge, when I was still young and tired of being in one place for too long. As I was about to leave the Tree of Knowledge, I suddenly found a book on ancient writing. The text in the book was all patterns that resembled the bones of various creatures, and at first I thought it was just something like a curse symbol of the Wiccans. However, as I flipped through a few pages, I suddenly realized that the symbols seemed to follow the narrative pattern. So, I took a closer look. Later, I found a lot of books like this to watch, and it took nearly 20 years of hard work for me to finally discover a shocking secret. ”

When Zheni said this, his voice stopped abruptly, his eyes were full of resentment, and the words about how to leave the sea of forests were only briefly touched.

Later, Zheni recounted that with his knowledge of bone writing and profound knowledge, he finally got the weight of the Ten Thousand Demon King.

The Ten Thousand Demon King also agreed to Zheni, as long as he deciphered all the bone characters in the Night City, the Ten Thousand Demon King would consider his request and grant freedom to the orcs.

With the in-depth interpretation of the bone text, Zheni discovered that the information contained in the bone text left behind in the Night City was almost identical to the shocking secret he had discovered in the Tree of Knowledge.

What the hell is this secret, Zheni did not say.

Zhou Chang and the others listened to Zhe Nie's description, and the Ten Thousand Demon King seemed to want to know this secret very much, and the Ten Thousand Demon King also promised Zhe Nie that as long as he told this secret to the Ten Thousand Demon King, the Ten Thousand Demon King would not only restore the freedom of the orcs, but also let the orcs enjoy the same treatment as other demon races.

Zhenie is a very wise orc, he saw greed in the eyes of the Ten Thousand Demon King, and he did not see half of the integrity. Therefore, Zheni asked the Ten Thousand Demon King to release the exiled orc leader - Resa first, and only when the orcs were restored to the same status as other demon clans did he tell the secret to the Ten Thousand Demon King.

Although the King of Ten Thousand Demons is the King of Ten Thousand Demons, not all demon races are subordinate to him, and some demon races are only allied with him. And the orcs are driven as slaves, which is a common recognition of all demon races, and the Ten Thousand Demon King cannot change it at all. So, the Demon King revealed his true face and locked Zheni under the Night Palace with the chain of pain, wanting to use painful torture to subdue Zheni.

However, the Ten Thousand Demon King didn't expect that no matter what kind of torture he used, he would not be able to get a trace of useful information from Zhennie's mouth.

I don't know how many years have passed, the patience of the Ten Thousand Demon King has gradually run out, but he is reluctant to kill this orc who may make him the master of the Chaos Continent. So, he let the most vicious banshee of the demon clan, Heni Benfei, stay in this city of darkness and torture and humiliate Zheni.

Zheni also said that during this period, the Ten Thousand Demon King also brought a witch with strong magical power to see him, and the witch was very intelligent and proficient in bone writing. But later, Henibenfi heard that the witch came to the city of the night for another purpose. As a result, he was killed by the Ten Thousand Demon King and his soul was sealed. She advised Zhe Nie to tell the secret of the times, so as not to end up like that witch.

Speaking of that witch and the sealed soul, Taizhang suddenly thought of the fire Gu oil lamps dedicated to the witch clan in the underground palace of the Dark Night City and the skeleton man who suddenly came to life. So, Taizhang asked Zhou Chang to take out the bracelet and let Zhennie identify whether the witch he saw was the owner of the bracelet.

Zhen Nie stretched his neck forward and looked intently at the dark and transparent bracelet in Zhou Chang's hand. After a while, Zheni let out an exclamation, "Ahhhhh ”

Taizhang noticed that Zheni was talking about sealing, not being killed, although there was only a difference between two words, but the meaning was 108,000 miles apart. Killing is to prove that the creature can be killed, and the seal is a little more complicated: maybe he has an immortal body, and he can only seal it, just like the alliance of the three clans can't kill him after capturing the lord of hell, King Aja, they can only seal him, so that he can never turn over; or it may be that he has a reborn body, and a person who has a reborn body, after death, as long as the soul is not sealed, even if even the bones are rotten to ashes, he can be resurrected within a specific time.

Combined with what he saw and heard in the underground palace, Taizhang concluded that this witch named Gulvedan must have a reborn body.

"According to the gentleman, that Gulvedan seems to have a reborn body?"

Zheni nodded, "Although Gulvedan is not a person worthy of respect, his theological attainments are unmatched in the entire continent. The bracelet in your hand, both witch and demon whispers, calls it 'Disfari', which means the key of the apocalypse. ”

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Zhou Chang's book, "The key of the apocalypse is refined by the gods according to the revelation of the heavens, and the gods did not take it away after they ascended, and they were later obtained by the Wu clan and regarded as a treasure. And the book in your hand, I think it should be "Apocalypse". ”

Zhe Nie said, and sniffed in the direction of the "Apocalypse" in Zhou Chang's hand, "Sure enough, there is a breath of ancient desolation, listening to Gulvedan boasting to me, the book of Apocalypse he got is far older than the flood era when the gods existed, and the gods created all living beings on the continent according to the guidance of this "Apocalypse". Young man, can you open the book for me to see? ”

Zhou Chang nodded, and casually flipped to the page of the text that was turning. When Zhe Nie saw it, he was also surprised.

Then, Zhou Chang turned to the page with bone writing.

Zhenie frowned slightly when he saw those bone words, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, seeing that Zhe Nie's brows were furrowed, Taizhang asked him what were recorded in these bones?

Zheni seemed to be a little absent-minded at this time, but he only briefly said these contents, and recorded a war between the gods.

Taizhang saw that Zhe Nie's words flickered, and he didn't seem to say the true meaning of the bone words. But since the other party refused to say, he didn't want to ask in detail. He also asked Zhenie why the key to the apocalypse, called 'Disfari', and the book called "Apocalypse" glowed with great power when they came into contact. He also told about the sudden opening of the page of the dead in "Apocalypse".

Zheni pondered for a while, and then suddenly said, "Have you tried to use the Bracelet of Apocalypse to access the unlocked Necronomicon Page?"
