112. Above the demigods

When Professor Kant awoke, he found himself lying on a meadow, not far from the gates of the Alpine Fort.

He quickly got up from the ground and touched his body, but he was not missing arms or legs.

If it weren't for the pain in his limbs, he would have suspected that everything just now was a dream.

Just now...... What's going on?

In the middle of a war ruins, we met two young men who looked like ordinary villagers, and helped them dig up a cart of black dirt......

This is a very strange situation.

But what's even more weird is that he didn't resist at all during the whole process, nor did he complain, and he didn't even doubt the identity and motives of those two guys in his head.

As if you had fallen victim to some kind of hypnotic mystery?

Fortunately, in the end, in addition to working hard and being tired and sore all over, I actually retreated?

The price is simply a promise not to reveal the affairs of those two eccentric villagers, which is not even an oath, and it is not binding at all.

I'm sorry, but you're acting so weirdly, I have to tell the Scholars about it!

Professor Kant made a perfidious decision in his heart.

But the moment he had this thought, he felt a sharp pain in his heart that seemed to stop beating in the next second.

Fortunately, this feeling of palpitations only lasted for a moment, and it quickly returned to normal, and it seemed to be just a small warning?

This...... Curse?

Professor Kant's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

He hurriedly looked around and found Lent lying next to him.

He quickly woke up Lent and checked his physical condition with his senses.

It seems that everything is fine, but the perception is a little disordered, the muscle strain transitions, and there is no trace of the secret spell.

This kind of 'normal' is actually the more terrible 'abnormal'

Lunt was also mentally trying to write a letter to a friend about these two strange villagers.

The moment the thought arose, he also felt the palpitation.

"I'm in the same situation as you...... Have you found in me the reaction of spells and arcane arts? ”

Professor Kant asked.

Lunt unfolded his perception and checked Professor Kant's physical condition, and his face turned pale.

No...... Nothing was found......

"What did those two guys do to us?"

"Who are they?"

He asked, a little panicked.

Professor Kant shook his head and whispered:

"I don't know, I'm just sure what they must have done to us......"

As he spoke, he searched through the memories in his head to see if there was any knowledge that could help.

Soon, he thought of a possibility......

"We may have been distorted by some kind of reality......"

"Reality Twisting?!"

Lunt is no stranger to this concept.

Distorting reality can be seen as some kind of operation to modify the laws of reality, just like those level 0 holy relics.

Only a few ninth-order saints could possibly touch the threshold of this ability and have the hope of being promoted to a demigod.

Lent didn't know much about the tenth-order demigods, he only knew that this process was not the same as the previous nine-order, it was no longer about what abilities he had mastered, what kind of rank he had when he reached what stage, and there were many other complicated and troublesome steps.

Although it is the ability to touch the threshold with a chance of reaching the ninth order, it is basically unusable, and only by becoming a demigod can you officially master this ability.

"Those two strange villagers, are they two demigods who are still walking on the ground?"

Lunt made a bold guess.

But Professor Kant shook his head and made his objection clear:

"Demigods can't do this kind of thing, I mean, it only works for the two of us, and the effect is like some kind of curse, demigods can't do it, their use of this ability can't be so delicate......"

"Moreover, there is a price to pay for using this ability, they have no need or reason to waste it on us, and it will work better than anything to kill us directly."

"This ......"

After hearing this, Lunt was stunned for a long time before he asked in a low voice:

"Could it be that they are the legendary Eleventh Order?"

Professor Kant had a wry smile on his face and asked rhetorically:

"Do you know what the Eleventh Order is?"

Lent shook his head, and looked at the other with curiosity.

"Actually, I don't know, the scholars don't know, or they haven't discussed it yet?"

The rank has been handed down a long, long time ago, and its history is longer than the existence of empires, and it is no longer possible to verify what the original source and standards were, and I don't know what civilization formulated it in the first place.

Professor Kant found in his previous archaeology that the ranks of the early days were not as many as they are now, so fine, probably only five orders, and the basis and standards were also very rough.

And the hierarchical system that is now used all over the world is the product of revising an unknown number of versions, and it is only a simple, formulated by human beings themselves, and the standard for measuring individual strength must be realistic to be meaningful.

The current reality is that after being promoted to a demigod, you must fall asleep, and Professor Kant doesn't know the specific reason, only that demigods can't move freely outside.

If you sleep a lot every day, you will naturally not be able to advance again, so theoretically demigods should be the limit that human beings can reach in the transcendent realm.

The reason why many people, including Professor Kant himself, believe that there should be eleven and twelfth orders above the ten orders, is purely because of the results of archaeology.

The existence of demigods has been recorded in many classics for a long time, and it is not much different from the current demigods.

Only a few texts mention the existence of higher ranks above demigods.

However, due to different times, different social environments at that time, different cultures and other factors, these classics do not have a clear definition of the existence of more than the tenth order, and even the names are not uniform, and the credibility is not high.

Therefore, there are still many people who think that demigods are the limit, and that the demigods mentioned in those classics are just some kind of exaggeration without real evidence.

It is likely that according to their standards, the current 5th order can be called a demigod, and the so-called eleventh and twelfth orders are just the current sixth and seventh orders.

Those who agree with this statement currently occupy the mainstream, believing that human civilization has developed to the present and established a scientific and reasonable transcendent system, which should always be stronger than the ancients.

"Actually, I once tried to decipher an ancient classic, which mentioned the existence above the tenth order, but there is no basis for reality, I can't be sure, and I can't verify it."

"Of course, it's also possible that I deciphered the wrong ......"

Professor Kant suddenly remembered again, and opened his mouth to mention it.

"What does that say? What should the 11th order be called? ”

Lunt hurriedly asked.

"The book was written in some kind of hieroglyph, and according to the shape of the word, I translated it as ......"

"Angel!"

The word seemed to have some kind of magic, and Lent froze in place.

Rohr, on his side, was sleeping in a private house.

He stayed up all night last night, and he fought a lot to deal with such a difficult monster, and he was really tired.

He couldn't remember how long he had been asleep, but he felt someone shaking his arm.

I barely opened my eyes and saw that little Jeanne was standing next to the sofa where he was lying, holding his arm with her little hand and looking at him with a blank eye.

"Teacher, hungry, hungry, rice!"

Seeing that he was awake, little Jeanne hurriedly said in that milky voice.

Before he could speak, Rohr saw his daughter rush in with a 'bang' and a bag of bread in her arms.

"Daddy, you're awake!"

She first said hello to Luo Er with a smile, and then performed the stunt of changing her face in an instant, pulled her little face, and said fiercely to little Jeanne:

"Didn't you say you weren't allowed to wake my dad? How to be disobedient? ”

"Woo ......"

Jeanne snorted aggrievedly, as if she was about to cry, and hurriedly hid behind the back of the sofa, only daring to show a pair of big pale golden eyes, and whispered in her mouth:

"Woo~ Sister is so fierce......"

Belch...... These two little guys are already sisters? Feelings are so good?

Sure enough, children are easy to get along with.

Rohr gradually woke up, felt a little funny, and opened his mouth to persuade:

"Okay, okay, she's younger than you now, and my sister should let her sister go."

When he returned to the city last night to find the two little ones, he found them hiding in an alley.

It was probably too late and too sleepy, and the two sat on a large wooden box, leaning against the wall, their petite bodies nestling against each other, already asleep.

It looks like two abandoned kittens, very cute and pitiful.

But the real little milk cat is very energetic, and the little donkey is faithfully guarding the alley.

Rohr picked up the two little ones with a distressed face, found a house that looked quite clean, occupied the bedroom, and put the little ones on it.

Then take out two blankets from your left hand and wrap two silkworm babies.

I made do on the couch outside.

"Dad, you worked hard last night, wash your face first, and I'll go get you a basin of water."

Klee said, putting down the bread in her hand, finding another wooden basin from the room, and running out.

Little Jeanne, who was hiding behind the sofa, dared to come out now, she first ran to the bag of bread and stretched out her little hand to take it.

But as if he was afraid of Klee's majesty, he finally withdrew his little hand and shook his head vigorously.

"Teacher, I'm going to fetch water for you."

With that, she bounced and chased Klee out.

A moment later, the two little ones returned.

Jeanne took a handkerchief from her bosom, wet it in a basin, and handed it to Klee.

Klee took a handkerchief, carefully wiped Rohr's face, and finally rubbed her cheek against it, as if she was accepting the fruits of her labor.

Therefore, the daughter is really not raised in vain.
