Chapter XVI: The First Gift
The operation mechanism of the rider is very peculiar, most of the time in a deep sleep, once the conditions are met, it will wake up from its slumber, choose the initiator who can control it, make a contract, and until the end of the contract, it can only be driven by the corresponding initiator.
For more than a thousand years, Valimar has had many initiators, but every time she ends her contract with the previous initiator, her memories are sealed. It is not until you meet a new initiator that you can gradually break the seal by running in and growing together.
Ryne thought that he had grown up, and Valima was likely to grow up with him and recover more of his memories, but after actually communicating with him, he found that Valima was still the same.
It may be that Rien's spirit has not yet affected Valima, or it may have been, but it will take time to manifest.
Hearing Lee's whisper, Valimar asked, "Is something going on?" ”
Li En thought for a moment and replied, "I've actually experienced it, no, it's more difficult to say that, I'll put it another way, I ...... I saw the future, the not-so-good future, the land was engulfed in war, and many people died, including those who were important to me and my companions, so-"
"—you want to change it?" Valima answered.
"Yes."
"You want to know the truth about the Rider and the 'Great Power' from my memory?"
"No, I already know that, and if you want to know, I can tell you right now."
In the primeval era, there were seven treasures, among which the treasure of earth and the treasure of fire, which also appeared as giant gods, met on the land of the empire.
The body of the giant god is divided between the two ends of the empire, and it cannot rise again.
The power flowed throughout the empire and merged into a new "great power".
In order to manage this power, the followers of the giant god abandoned their previous suspicions and joined hands to create the Riding God System, which divided the "Giant Power" into seven and forged seven riding gods.
Since then, the Riding God has become a mystery in the shadow of the Empire, with the history of the Empire.
Whenever there is a war, the rider will wake up, and the chaos and war of the empire in recent years and the "Earth Dragon" battle that will sweep the entire western continent in the future are also inseparable from the rider.
Because only in this way can we harvest enough fighting energy to make all the riders awaken, fight each other, and perform a ritual called "mutual restraint", re-merge the separated forces into one, and achieve "true giants".
"Well, I see, although the memory of this aspect has not been awakened, there is indeed such a feeling."
Valima's words are undoubtedly an affirmation of Lane's statement.
"How do you want to change that? It seems to me that now you have no power to stop all this. ”
"I know."
As soon as he thought of this, Lane had a headache, not an ordinary headache.
The mechanism of riding gods extended by the "great power" is very disgusting, and it cannot meet the conditions of "mutual restraint", even if all the other riding gods are defeated, they will absorb spiritual power and slowly recover.
If you want to end this reincarnation, you must restrain each other, let the forces become one, you must need fighting spirit, you need war, and it is contrary to Lien's original intention.
"But there seems to be some workaround, and it is for this that Miss Crodite will call out the Scarlet Rider and the 'Huang Demon City'. Miss Crodid's whereabouts have been unknown since the Civil War, and I would like to get a clue from you. ”
"Unfortunately, there are no relevant leads in my current records." Valimar sighed humanely.
"So, is there anyone who might know?" Lane retreated.
"Most likely, the previous launcher, Dlay Kells, but he's dead."
"Dlaikels is indeed dead, and he does know. But his soul did not leave this world, but was reincarnated into another person, that person you have also seen, Gillias Osborne. ”
"Gilias!" There was a noticeable shake in Valima's voice, "I remember him as your ......"
"It's my biological father, and it's very likely that I can be your 'initiator' because of him."
A long sigh.
At this time before his return, he had a bad impression of his biological father, but after knowing all the reasons, although Li En still couldn't accept some of his practices, he understood and admired more.
Especially the choice he made to save his young self.
I hope that this time, I can also give him a different ending.
Sensing the change in Lane's mood, Valima said.
"Either or not, I'm the initiator right now, Lane."
"Thank you, Valima."
The rider and the initiator are closely linked, inseparable, and irreplaceable companions.
As long as Lane wanted to, Valimar could not hesitate to go toe with the previous initiator.
As for Valima, Lane also trusts him wholeheartedly, and he does not hide the changes that have happened to him.
"Who else but him might know the clues?"
"I don't have any memories of Dlaikels for the time being, if I'm not the initiator, only the two major dependents who may be closely related to us, the witch and the goblin, the witch's words-"
"Emma shouldn't know."
Emma is a classmate of Dawn's military academy and the president of the old Class VII, the witch who guided him to meet Valima. It's just that her qualifications are relatively shallow, and her strength is relatively weak, so she doesn't know much about the insider.
"The witch's elder Rosai can't reach ...... for the time being Do you think Emma's predecessors would have known anything? ”
"The previous witch is dead." Valimar has always been direct.
"It's a bit inappropriate to say that, but the conditions of death are stronger for me. Valima, to tell you a secret, I not only saw the future, but also received a gift from a mysterious being who has an ability called 'Heroic Spirit Summoning', which is able to summon the souls of dead heroes into this world and give a second life. ”
This is the ability that is suddenly given after starting over, and at the same time, there are also summoning methods and various rules that appear directly in the brain.
"I thought I'd try it in two days, so let's just do it tonight. The rules say that direct summoning will summon the best Servant who is compatible with the summoner, and if you want to summon a specific Servant, you need to be associated with the catalyst - Valimar must have seen other witches, but it is possible to summon an earlier Initiator...... Yes, wait for me for a while and be back soon. ”
Dawn's eyes lit up, and he quickly left the hangar, returned to the dormitory, and pulled out a photo album from the desk he had just tidied up.
Turning the first page, there is a group photo of Class VII and related people, which is a photo album of Lie's student days, which carries his various memories.
Not caring about nostalgia for his youth, Li En hurriedly flipped to one of the pages, took out a single photo from it, held it in his hand, and prayed in a low voice.
"Emma, please."
After saying that, he put away the photo album, returned to the hangar again, and began to arrange the "Heroic Spirit Summoning" ceremony.
