527 The Truth of History
After hearing the conversation between Angus and Corey, Gregory seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face suddenly became complicated, but before he could say anything, he felt a pain in his head, and suddenly grinned: "Corey! Don't pull my hair! β
"Hmph."
Corey snorted softly and stopped moving.
Gregory looked at Angus again, and his face became serious: "I take the liberty of asking, who are you?" β
"Didn't you already guess that?"
Angus grinned, the scars that cracked made him look a little hideous.
"The Expelled King?"
Gregory hesitated, but did not appear to be wary, after all, Angus was too different from the legendary Cast King.
"Yes and no." Angus seemed pleased with Gregory's reaction, "Do you know the history of the Expelled King? β
"Of course."
Gregory nodded, although when he first heard the witch tell him history, he didn't understand very well, and he didn't remember many of them, but now after his soul was completed, he remembered all the things he had forgotten: "In the year 532 of the Gray Mist Calendar, seven new kings teamed up to attack the Red Rock Ring City, and then were expelled by the support of other ring cities, five of them were killed, and two escaped, these two were the original expelled kings, and then ......"
ββ¦β¦ After that, the five ancient kings chased the remaining new kings into the gray mist, and finally returned with a crushing defeat, the ancient king Mojana and all the new kings were killed in battle, but only two of the expelled kings were killed, and the remaining four were the only remaining expelled kings. β
"There's nothing wrong with the first half, but the second half...... Tut. β
Angus grinned, seemingly disdainful of Gregory's history: "The truth of the year is much more complicated than that, and I think, as a 'savior,' you should have a more complete understanding of the history of that year." β
As he spoke, Angus suddenly raised his hand and emitted a white light, enveloping Gregory in it, and instead bouncing Corey out of Gregory's hair.
Corey somersaulted a few times in mid-air before finally stabilizing himself, staring at Angus angrily, but he didn't dare to say a word, Angus didn't bother to take advantage of Corry's little ghost, one hand maintained a white light, and the other hand changed an ointment to apply it on his face, and muttered quietly while applying it: "This new formula that has just been researched will definitely stick to it!" β
The white light that shrouded Gregory lasted for a long time, and when the white light disappeared, Gregory reappeared with a soft foot, and actually knelt on the ground, and only raised his head for a long time, and looked at Angus in a daze: "Is this the truth of the year?" β
"I don't have to lie to you."
Angus said, unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his chest, where the flesh had long since rotted away, leaking out of the white ribs, and the burning heart that was protected by the ribs.
Looking at the flame in Angus's heart, Gregory suddenly smiled bitterly, smiled and smiled, and suddenly sighed: "Actually, I was just too naΓ―ve before, I believe what others say, and I can't blame them." β
"At least, she won't hurt you, will she? Moreover, she may be the only 'person' who is really working wholeheartedly to save the world," Angus suddenly laughed, "All in all, I, you, and she can be regarded as the 'righteous' side." β
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Gregory also laughed, he naturally understood what Angus meant, but Corey next to him looked confused, looking at Gregory and Angus who "you know me, I understand you", he suddenly got angry, grabbed Gregory's hair and pulled it randomly.
"Ahh Corey! β
Gregory screamed and grabbed Corey in his hand, but Corey suddenly turned into a virtual body, easily escaped from Gregory's palm, and flew to the top of Gregory's head and pulled his ears.
Gregory kept shaking his head to prevent Corey from pulling his ears: "Don't make trouble, just tell you!" β
Corey then stopped and flew in front of Gregory.
Gregory sighed lightly, and first talked about the experience of going to see witches, for this part, Angus is also very interested, although he has been friends with witches for a long time, and even has a very tacit cooperation in some things, but in fact, he has not really seen this generation of witches.
Seeing that Angus was interested in these things, Gregory had to describe the communication with the witch in detail, and after finishing speaking, he briefly told Corey what he had seen and heard before.
In the white light emitted by Angus, Gregory is trapped in an environment built on Angus's memories, in which he follows Angus from beginning to end through the great changes of more than 300 years ago.
The first half of the battle of kings is not much different from the witch's account, the initial fire is extinguished, and many new kings escape into the gray fog, until the flames are rekindled, and then they come out of the gray fog again and reunite to the rebuilt central ring of the city.
Different from the witch's story, not only did the new king who was standing on the side of the ring come to the tower, but even the six betrayers who fled at the beginning also came to the central ring and demanded a share of the flames and build their own ring city.
After all, the original purpose of these betrayers was only to break away from the Seven Great Ring Cities and the clutches of many ancient kings and establish their own forces.
The next development was the same as Gregory thought, the witches rejected them, because they had already accepted the transformation of the gray mist, and this transformation was irreversible, they had become naturally repulsive to the fire, even if they stayed within the perimeter of the city, it was very uncomfortable, let alone take some of the flames and build a new one.
So Angus and the other five departed, separated from each other, wandering alone in the gray fog, until seven years later, Eldridge, the most powerful of the six, found Angus again.
Eldridge, the most powerful of the six who survived, and the most ambitious, reconvened the Six Kings to steal the fire that the new kings had taken with them.
Under Eldridge's persuasion, the other two kings, Lorian and Yum, were moved, and immediately said that they wanted to follow Eldridge to make a big news, while Angus and the other new king rejected him, and as for the last remaining Wendel, he was very hesitant, and when they finally separated, they did not agree or refuse Eldridge's invitation.
However, what Angus didn't expect was that Eldridge's speed was comparable to that of a reporter, and almost shortly after leaving, he captured a small ring of flames, and used this flame to win over the 'neutral' Wendel, and then used the teleportation coordinates that Wendell mastered to capture five more rings of the city overnight!
At this time, Angus and the other person had just arrived outside the city gate of the central ring city, they originally planned to warn the witches and other kings, beware of the sneak attack of Eldridge and others, but before they entered the city gate, they were chased by Eldridge using teleportation ability, and under the surprise, Eldridge hit the flames into their bodies!
So, the mutation began, and the two Angus, under the control of instinct, escaped from the central ring and survived the mutation period in the gray fog, but at the same time, the two of them also became the number one enemy of the ring city and became Eldridge's shield!
But the two of Angus were actually lucky, they were not deeply transformed by the gray mist, after the flames entered their bodies, the power of fire instantly took over, and suppressed the power of the gray mist, so that the two of them had the power of both the fire and the gray mist, but also kept their own will clear, so that they escaped in the pursuit of the kings.
But the Eldridge Four were not so lucky.
With the Angus duo attracting the wrath of the kings, they had enough time to undergo the transformation of the Grey Mist, and before they fused the flames, they had the same power as the first two banished kings, comparable to those of the Old Kings.
In the same way, they are also tragic because of this, the flame and the gray mist are the largest and most fundamental opposing forces in the world, just a separate power in the fire, and it is not enough to suppress the power of the gray mist in their bodies, they can only hide in the corner to passively resist the impact of the gray mist power, and the power of the gray mist in order to completely suppress the flames, attracted a large range of surrounding gray mist into the bodies of the four people, and while suppressing the flames, the bodies of the four people were completely transformed into gray mist creatures.
And this change finally attracted the attention of the kings, and at the same time, the six new kings who had lost the flames also lost the news, and the kings led by the ancient king Mojana finally calmed down, and after a brief exchange with Angus, they decided to let the two go for the time being, and instead searched for the Eldridge four, but what they finally found were four outright monsters......
"However, we prefer to call them the 'Fallen Kings', after all, they have completely fallen into the gray fog."
When Gregory said this, Angus interjected, and it was obvious that he also had a great dislike for Eldridge and the others.
The final battle was not a battle between the kings led by the ancient king Mojana against six banished kings who devoured the flames, as the witch had claimed, but in reality, they faced only four banished kings, but the numerical superiority did not allow them to win.
When Mojana and the other kings found Eldridge and the four of them, the power of the gray mist in the four of them had completely suppressed the flames, and the flames had been transformed, so that the flames from the will of the world had become their source of power, and they had the power to surpass all the kings!
In the face of overwhelming power, the numerical superiority made the kings look like a group of panicked weaklings, and when facing the four expelled kings, even the five powerful ancient kings, they could only passively defend, and they didn't even have a chance to escape, so they could only watch the four Eldridges slaughter the kings
Fortunately, Eldridge and the other four expelled kings, after completely turning into gray mist creatures, have little sanity left, and what drives their bodies is only instinct and the only remaining desire.
In the end, the ancient king Moyna made the same decision as Nick, the king of golden flames, - sacrificing himself for the hope of the entire world.
However, the four Eldridges were so powerful that even after Moina's death, the other surviving kings escaped the encirclement established by Wendel, but in the end, only the four old kings escaped to the protection area of the ring city, and the other new kings died at the hands of Eldridge.
"Yes, yes," Angus sighed, "Eldridge was the only one who caught up, and I went to help them, but Eldridge was too strong, and I was wounded at the hands of that madman Godric, so I didn't do much of a favor, and left myself some souvenirs." β
Angus pointed to the scars on his face, but his expression was so rich when he said these words that the scars that had been glued together cracked open again.
Angus also seemed to accept his fate, ignoring the cracked scars, bowed his head and muttered a few words, as if cursing Eldridge, and raised his head again: "The rest, let me take care of the rest." β
"Mojana's approach is undoubtedly effective, although only Godric's four ancient kings escaped back, but they managed to withstand the next few waves of the Black Tide, those days were really crazy, those four guys were teleporting almost every day, helping all the rings to resist the Black Tide, I also went to the Endless Land at that time, specially waiting for Godric's time, the madman at the most, actually teleported seven times in one day! I really don't know how he carried it. β
Angus smacked his lips, and he didn't know whether he was sighing or mocking, and after recalling for a while, he continued: "After that, there is nothing to say, in the next hundred years, the ring city system with the seven ring cities as the core has finally recovered some vitality, and those four guys don't have to teleport around all day, Eldridge and the four of them have also entered the depths of the gray fog, I have gone to look for them, but it seems that only Wendell still retains some sanity and established a city in the plains, The other three just found a random ruin and stayed still, tsk, like wild beasts. β
"But there aren't many good days, eighty-seven years ago...... Or eighty-nine years ago? Angston paused, "Anyway, less than ninety years ago, the world finally couldn't hold on, and even begged me, but it was useless, I couldn't help anything except contribute my fire, but you." β
Angus pointed at Gregory, "You have some use, and you may give the world a little hope." β
"Me?" Gregory smiled wryly, "What can I do?" To kill the four fallen kings? β
"Don't be discouraged," Angus patted Gregory on the shoulder, the scar on his face widened, "You're different, you're not like everyone else, they're not like Godric, not to mention me, after all, I'm a 'mongrel' monster, maybe a little like a witch, but it's also different, all in all, you're the last hope of this world, and the last fight of this world." β
"It's an honor."
Gregory's mouth was a little bitter, and he was a little overwhelmed by this responsibility, but he heard Angus say: "How about it, do you want to go on the road with me, I may be able to teach you something." β
