Chapter Seventy-Seven: The City of Feihu (Part II)
Slept until near noon, when Alver opened his eyes and found Vincent already up, dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed reading.
"Morning, Vincent," Alver rubbed his eyes and got up.
"Morning," Vincent closed the book, and Elph saw that the title of the book was "Introduction to Demon Magic", "You woke up just in time, I was about to wake you up, and the city lord invited us to lunch." β
Carl also woke up when he heard the conversation between the two, and he greeted the two while getting dressed, "Brother Vincennes woke up early in the morning, right?"
"It's not too early," Vincent picked up the book and got up to leave the bedroom, "I'll return the book first," he took two steps and turned back, "Oh yes, the waiter in this room doesn't know why, it's not very easy to talk." β
The waiter was a demon with lead-gray skin and bright green eyes, and his eyes were small, as slender as some fox totems, as Vincent said, as long as he saw the three children, the expression on his face would become very unhappy, and he would not take the initiative to say more words to the three children except for the necessary greetings.
The waiter led the children to the inn's tavern, pointed to a table for the three children to sit down, told them that the lord's men would come to the tavern to pick them up in a moment, and then turned around and left without saying a word of goodbye or anything like that.
"If it weren't for the fact that there was something important this time it would have been best not to get into trouble, I'd really like to talk to the innkeeper about that gray guy's stinky face. Vincent was very resentful of his always pulling his face, and Carl patted Vincent's arm, "Brother Vincennes, you should understand him, he is not targeting you and Elf, I think he should be targeting me." β
"Against you?" Alver and Vincent didn't react for a moment.
"I'm a wurmist," Karl shrugged, "if he had opened this inn, I think he'd jumped up and kicked me out the first time he saw me." β
Vincent scratched his hair like crazy, "Ah~~ I don't understand what the hell is the logic of these people transferring their anger to a race. β
"It can't be helped," said Karl with a smirk, "that catastrophe caused countless lives and deaths, and it is a fact that the gods are dead, and there must always be a catharsis." When I was a child, I had vaguely heard in the settlements that the dragons and the Argonians were not absolutely without responsibilityβif they hadn't changed their faith, if they hadn't abandoned the dragon gods, maybe the Great Collapse wouldn't have happened. β
Alph and Vincent looked at Carl in surprise, in all legends, the white dragon god Neil is a heinous character, after learning that the sea spirit god Umiriel made a prophecy that he would be imprisoned and destroy the continent to kill the other creation gods, he petrified the vocal cords of the sea spirit god, blocked the ears of the sea spirit god, and forced the sea tribe to degenerate into magical creatures; , in order to weaken his own fellow citizens by killing other races, an atrocity that led Bessemore to stand up and resist. Eventually, Bessiemore and the other creator gods used seven creation gods' umbilical cords to make chains and imprisoned the white dragon god under an island called Erward formed by the eruption of a volcano in the dragons.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Karl winked at his own eyes, "Erward is an island that everyone thinks is ominous, so no one wants to go there except for robber fugitives, and the stories that circulate may not be the same as the mainstream." β
"It's not different, just throwing away two words is very substantial. Vincent grinned, "What is the legend of Erward?"
"In a word, the white dragon god was framed, and when the sea clan still existed, their prophetic power came from the sea spirit god Umiriel, and this prophetic ability is more inclined to the guidance of fate, or to put it bluntly, a curse, a curse made by predicting human vitality. Carl rested his elbows on the table, held his face with both hands and said: "There will be several to countless key points among them, breaking one or a few of them can break the entire curse and reverse fate, if the curse is broken, the sea clan who made the prophecy will shorten the lifespan, but the life span of the sea spirit god is endless, as long as the sea clan still believes in her." β
"So, what is the legend of Erward?" Alver asked.
"Anyway, whether it's the Sea Clan or Umiriel, their abilities are beyond self-control, unless they become mute, they will issue so-called 'prophecies' from time to time, as long as they say it and be heard by anyone, including the 'prophets' themselves, then the so-called 'prophecy' - in fact, is a curse, it will be established, and the prophesied person must find a way to break some of the keys in order to reverse their fate. β
"You're talking about the point!" Vincent urged.
"Oh, the key is that Urward once found a very old diary, the person who wrote the diary was the guard of the underground prison where the white dragon god was imprisoned, one day, he heard the call of the white dragon god, entered the prison full of magma, and heard the white dragon god tell the reason why the sea spirit god lost his voice, mainly because the sea spirit god could not control his curse, the white dragon god teamed up with other creation gods to crack it several times, but the frequency of the sea spirit god's curse became higher and higher, and the consequences of the curse became more and more terrifying, the white dragon god had to petrify the sea spirit god's vocal cords and block her ears to protect the entire continent, but this ability, the sea clan also hasAfter the sea spirit god lost his hearing and speech ability, the sea tribe began to come out with all kinds of curses, although not as strong and terrifying as the sea spirit god, but it was troublesome enough to deal with, the white dragon god had to find a way to take back the sea tribe's 'prophecy' ability, so that the sea tribe's land sank to the bottom of the sea, and the sea tribe has since become a mermaid or a kraken, in order to compensate and commemorate Umiriel, the mermaid and the kraken have a good voice and a beautiful appearance. β
"So the White Dragon God is not afraid that the prophecy of the Sea Spirit God will be known by the other Creation Gods, but to save the continent?" Alver was surprised.
"That's pretty much what it means, the so-called joint evil magical creatures to create plagues and disasters are actually the relationship prophesied by the Sea Clan, and after the Sea Clan degenerates into magical creatures, these things are much less. β
"What about the Beastmaster God, and the merger of the Beast Clan and the Dragon Clan?" asked Vincent.
"That may be a bit bloody, who knows if it's the Beast King God who has a crush on the Sea Spirit God, and is angry that the White Dragon God petrified the Sea Spirit God's vocal cords or something, in short, he took the lead against the White Dragon God, or he has ambitions to become the boss of the Creation God. Carl said with a grin.
"If the Sea Spirit God says that the White Dragon God will destroy the continent and will kill the other Creation Gods......" Alph muttered.
"That's right, every key point of the Sea Spirit God has not been broken, or rather, the Beast King God deliberately ignored the previous key points, betting that he could change the entire curse at the last key point, ensuring that only the White Dragon God died without faith, but he failed, so the curse was still established. β
"That white dragon god is really miserable...... If you don't talk about it, you will lose your life in the end......" Vinson sighed.
"That's not necessarily, what if the other gods stop the Beastmaster God, or if the White Dragon God doesn't choose to overturn the continent and kill the other gods in the end," Alfer pouted, "In the end, the key is not that the Beastmaster God didn't break it, but that the White Dragon God himself didn't." β
"So Elver, do you think the White Dragon God is still a bad guy?" Karl tilted his head to look at Elver.
Alfer lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking: "It's not bad or bad, if I were him, maybe I would be even crazier after being cursed and framed." β
"Well, it's just a legend," Vincent said, knocking on the table, "the Great Collapse has happened, and the gods are dead, so it's useless to say anything, and the point now is, we've been talking for a long time, are you two thirsty?" β
