Chapter 90: The Story of the Ancient City (3)

"We soon entered the stage of dividing the spoils, and I didn't expect ......" Kertorn seemed to be choked by the throat, and "gurgled" twice, as if remembering something he didn't want to remember.

"That was the beginning of everything. His voice became cold and hard, and he trembled slightly. Faust seemed to see a huge rock whose roots had been so corrupted that a breeze might have blown it down.

Of course, this is only Faust's imagination – after all, the "thing" that Ketone is talking about is not a murder or a war – it is a history, a period of the disappearance of civilization.

Ktorn was silent for a moment, then said, "We entered the camp, and it looked similar to the barbarian camp we had conquered before - dirty, messy, and that's what it was, you know?" he didn't seem to want to describe the things.

Faust wasn't in a hurry yet, but he wasn't going to hear a story he already knew—even if it would be a little more detailed. This little detail doesn't help much in the current situation.

So Faust waved his hand understandingly, "Do you know the underground palace built by Emperor Legba? I've been there, and I've seen those frescoes." ”

"What?" said Kerton, with some surprise in his tone—but not as if he were particularly shocked, "you see the fresco...... Have you seen those bodies too?"

He knew a lot, but thinking of his identity as an architect, Faust even guessed that the dungeon was built by him.

"And Sander Truman was released too?" Ktorn asked repeatedly, "where is he now?" and his tone was even a little excited, "Is he back too?"

"Huh?" Faust noticed his choice of words, "You mean, come back?" As for Sander Truman's name, Faust didn't feel anything—he didn't know much about demons.

"Uh......" Kerthon seemed to notice his gaffe, and he organized his language, and found that the flaw could not be brought back at all, so he reluctantly said, "I will mention him later." ”

"Ahem......" he cleared his throat, as if to hide his embarrassment, and then he resumed his original tone, "That mural is painted to ......"

"Draw to the demon being killed by Regba. Faust reminded, "You can start talking about it from here, we don't have much time - not only is he here, but Baba Yaga seems to have sent someone ...... too."

"What?" exclaimed Kerton, "she's still alive, and she's succeeded?" he seemed to be in a state of panic, "what should I do...... I should ......"

The huge bugs rolled violently, and the sound was terrifying. But Faust thought it was similar to a half-bald middle-aged man walking around with his little hair left.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cotton. Faust was not in a hurry, "according to reliable sources, she didn't come in person—remember? ”

"Whew...... ...... Faust's words made Kethorn feel pardoned, and he kept chanting, "It's good if you don't come, it's good if you don't come......" The Driller's bloated and fat body squirmed, and it had no strength to distinguish between truth and falsehood—or rather, it preferred to believe the good news.

It took a few more seconds to calm down, and he let out another meaningless sneer, "Subordinates, hum......" Immediately after, he seemed to remember that Faust was still in front of him, and quickly twisted his body, "In that case, let's get back to business...... Where am I talking?"

"The Emperor killed the demon. Faust reminded Kethorn succinctly.

"Oooh oh...... Her strength skyrocketed with the help of demons, and her teacher took Regba's place. And then she became more inflated than ever. ”

"However, there are no impermeable walls in the world, and finally, His Majesty Regba discovered her demon worship. His Enraged Majesty thought she had been bewitched and decided to hunt down the demon. ”

"I have to say that His Majesty's power is indeed strong, and that demon was chased by him across seven worlds, and in each world there was a great battle and destroyed part of the demon's body. ”

Kertohn's focus was not on Legba, he continued: "However, no matter how strong a person is, he is still a human being, and if he is a human being, he will be injured and tired. She deceived His Majesty the Emperor. ”

He was visibly thrilled by the story, which made him seem a little incoherent, but Faust still managed to guess the truth of the matter, "What do you mean...... Baba Yaga hasn't given up her demon worship?"

"Adoration?" said Kerton's rhetorical question, mockingly, "Baba Yaga doesn't worship anyone—but first, unlike those twisted narcissists, she doesn't even worship herself. ”

"Baba Yajia, she's a demon she doesn't believe in. Later, Ktorn said, even gritting his teeth, "She never worships any bullshit demons, and Sander Truman is like us, he was also deceived!"

"She's got forbidden knowledge from Sander Truman!" Kethorn's agitation could no longer be suppressed, "She thinks she can surpass humans!

Listening to Kerton's incoherent cursing and accusations, Faust suddenly thought of a possibility, "How...... No, no, no, it can't be. Faust immediately reversed his conclusions.

"Hahaha, you're so much smarter than I am!" Kertohn's mood became very unstable, and he laughed hysterically, "I've been trapped here for a thousand years to figure it out!"

"You guessed it right. Ktorn suddenly stopped laughing and gritted his teeth and said, "She wants to be taboo!"

Faust was silent, he thought of far more and more complex things than Kerton thought. There are quite a few people like Baba Yajia in the Old World - most of them have failed, but there are still some who have surpassed humans.

They became gods.

And in this world abandoned by the gods and surrounded by taboos, what about the strong and heroic who lack guidance? They can only imitate those "taboos".

Regba seemed to realize something, and he didn't take that step - it wasn't until Aventenu's appearance showed him the way that he finally made up his mind.

And Baba Yajia is a more radical person, and she did not hesitate to embark on the forbidden path.

"Figured it out? She's a crazy woman. Kertonn seemed to have had enough of his madness and could only make this conclusion in a tired voice.

The demon's encounter didn't slow her down. "She's missing the most crucial bit of knowledge, so she has to rescue the demons. ”

Then she attacked His Majesty Legba. Ktorn's narration became more and more flat, but the story became more and more thrilling, "That battle may not be as good as the one between the demon and His Majesty, but all the forces were tied to the territory of the empire, and that battle almost destroyed the entire empire. ”
