Section 225 The City of Ruins

"Do you know what I found?" Mados, who had been a little depressed, smoked three cigarettes in a row, making the room smoky, and finally spit out a few words.

"Smoking is not good for your health, let's smoke less!" Looking at Mattos who had blurred his vision in the smoke, Fez didn't know how to comfort him, and at the same time knew that Mattos was actually hesitating and thinking, so he didn't ask too much, he just had to wait patiently.

"Look at this!" Martos rolled up his magic robes, revealing his visibly withered body.

"What's going on?" Although Fez hadn't seen Mattos's body, he knew that the last time was a year ago, Mattos's body could only be regarded as a middle-aged person at most, and it was a strong one, but in just one year, Mattos's body had almost been squeezed dry, Fez was really a little curious about what Mattos had encountered, but he was a little worried about how long Mattos's body could last.

"It's all a small problem, and the physical pain is not as good as the mental torture. Mattos pulled his garment to his chest and pointed to his heart, an expression of pain and resentment on his face.

"It wants to take possession of my body!" The originally intact chest, under the light touch of Mattos's fingers, actually had an extra eye-like thing, but before he could open his eyes, Mattos had already put down his clothes, and all of them had become normal.

"What's going on, what's that?" Fez, looking at the closed eye. It seems familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it.

"Hehe, in fact, the fundamental magic of the Empire State Building. The puppet technology, as well as the ancient magic stone carvings, all came from one place—the City of Ruins, an ancient city that perished in the battle between gods and demons 10,000 years ago, but do you know why the City of Ruins was truly destroyed?"

"What is the reason?" In fact, Fez didn't even know what the city of ruins was, let alone the reason for its disappearance.

"Hehe, in fact, the demise of the City of Ruins is entirely self-inflicted. What the city of relics was called at that time is no longer clear. However, from all the archaeological information, it can be seen that the city of ruins at that time should be the economic, cultural and technological center of the mainland.

For example, the puppet technology is at least three hundred years more advanced than the goblin clan that disappeared a thousand years ago, and at least more than five hundred years higher than our current technology, like we have no breakthrough in the field of magic energy independence and independent brain. It is simply not possible to complete a practical project.

And in the realm of gods such as magic crystallization, we haven't even touched the edge, let alone the gap, and in other aspects, the city of ruins is completely standing at the peak of human society, even if it has the strength to fight with the gods, but in less than a year before the gods and demons war, this peak representative of human society fell in an instant, and there was not even a trace of information left after that. This is so counterintuitive.

Over the past year, though, I've studied the Ruins City as well, even though it's been cleaned up over and over again. But I still found out the reason why they disappeared, that is, the reason why my body became like this-the Eye of Gods and Demons.

I don't know how the city of ruins at that time discovered this magic array, that is, the human body alchemy we see now, through the human body alchemy to open the door to evolution, and evolve human primates and other primates into the primitive state of the eye of gods and demons, the eye of the god or the owner of the eye of the devil. And then let these owners kill each other, merge and evolve. The last one who survived was the eye with a stronger level, so it was repeated constantly, after many rounds of killing, what was obtained was the eye of the gods and demons with mixed blood, and finally extracted it over and over again in the special magic array of Tongguò, the bloodline of the eye of gods and demons became more and more pure, and the strength became stronger and stronger, even the real gods and demons were afraid of this power, so in the early days of the war, when the demons destroyed the city of ruins, the gods did not send any power to help, and then they suppressed and eliminated the power of the remnants of the city of ruins. ”

"You mean, human alchemy is a magic array that awakens the demon's eye!" Fez finally knew why those eyes looked familiar, only because they didn't open.

As the name suggests, human alchemy is a kind of human body magic array that connects other substances into a human body, but human body alchemy violates the normal laws of nature, so the use of this magic array will go through the test of heaven, if it fails, then the loser will become a bunch of decomposed other substances, and the successful person will also lose a certain part of the body, and at the same time have an extra eye - the eye of God or the eye of the devil.

If the Eye of Gods and Demons is finally fused, then the human alchemy will also become a kind of magic array that purifies essence and blood, so the reason why the Ruins City really disappeared was because of this magic array. Mattos said with a little emotion, after all, sometimes people are dissatisfied, and if they get one, they want to get two.

"Why do you have this eye on your body?" Fez was also a little curious, since the city of ruins has disappeared, why does the reason for the disappearance of the city of ruins appear in this world.

"I don't know about this, but I guess there may be two reasons, one is that in the battle between gods and demons at that time, there were still undead test items in the city of ruins or the actual yàn body was not dead at all, after all, ancient items such as magic crystals were preserved, and what could not happen.

The second reason is that someone has restored the magic array, and before we found the city of ruins, someone had already taken care of the city of ruins, and there seemed to be a lot of things missing!"

"Well, it's possible. Fez deliberately peeked at Matos, now Fez already knows a lot of things, where did the Doll King get the Eye of Gods and Demons, how can there be so much energy soft matter, it turns out that the Doll King has patronized the City of Ruins before them.

"And how is your body now?"

"I sealed it with a special magic circle. But I feel that my power is slowly shrinking, and I believe that it may not be long before it completely replaces me. Be the master of this body. "After all, there are hundreds of people who are on the expedition with Mattos, and for the city of ruins, the military will not let anything fall outside, so each expedition will bring a company of soldiers, but no more than two will come back each time.

"But I feel like it's been completely asleep since it entered here. There is no feeling of wanting to take my body at all!"

"Well, maybe it's a lack of energy!" Fez's wouldn't admit it. The nemesis of the Eye of Gods and Demons, the Eye of True Evil is on his body.

"You're worried, you're not the only one who has been accused!" Although Mattos temporarily solved his problem, Fez did not see any relief from Mattos. Instead, they revealed more worry.

"Well, I was boarded, so the empire launched more than ten search expeditions before and after, how many people must have been infected and boarded, I really can't believe it!" At this time, Mattos's face was full of worry, and the consequences of blindly pursuing power in the end were unimaginable, but Mattos had no choice.

"Why don't you ask ArchMagus Gors?" Fez was a little curious, after all, even if he told himself, he couldn't do anything.

"Hehe! He's the only survivor of the sixth expedition, a mage who was originally unknown. Magic has improved by leaps and bounds since he came back!" "Mattos is now unsure who he should report this to, and probably only Fez, an outsider, can be sure that he has not been boarded!

"Well, what do you need me to do?" Fez, who didn't think that Maddos had just come to complain to him, and that there must be some purpose.

"I want you to study this magic circle with me!"

"Although I didn't find anything on this expedition. But I found a passage that may be the last words of some dying person, he said, in fact, the alchemy of the human body is the door to death, in fact, it is also the key to the light, I guess that what is needed to destroy the eye of gods and demons is the reverse magic array of human alchemy.

After all, I tried. The Vision or the Eye of the Demon is not afraid of swords, water, fire, thunder and lightning. No way can completely eliminate them, at most it can only temporarily suppress their growth. "Mados has studied before, of course, not himself, but those companions who are ready to devour and kill each other, although they successfully killed them, but not a single eye of gods and demons was killed, and finally the eyes of gods and demons in his body have been evolved.

"But I don't have any clues, and I can't complete this magic array, let alone reverse engineer, but I want to ask, aren't you afraid that I will seek the power of this god and demon after I have studied the human body alchemy?"

"Hehe, you won't do anything for the sake of power, let alone the eyes of the gods and demons who get the power after being charged, not you!" If Ma Duoshi hadn't used the magic array to block the encroachment of the eyes of the gods and demons, now Ma Duoshi's soul may have long since disappeared in this world.

"What about Gers?" Fez was also a little curious, if Gers was also boarded, then Gers should be just a walking corpse, which is not in line with reality.

"You still don't understand? In fact, the Eye of God and Demon is a creature with a single consciousness, but before the strength reaches a certain level, it must be lodged in a certain creature, controlling the other party's body, but it has all the emotions of a primate creature, but as his strength increases, he will eventually break away from the host's body and change back into his own body. "Mattos knew that the individuals who were boarded did not become the walking dead, and that their specific personalities were different from person to person, and that there was no comparison at all.

"Well, I see, but is your Eye of God or Vision?"

"I don't know, I've sealed him since he was infected, and I haven't taken the initiative to use him until now, but hey!" said Martos with a sigh, after all, his body has been boarded, and there are some things that he can't think about if he doesn't want to.

"By the way, this is a hand-painted painting I found in the City of Ruins, among those last words, maybe it will help you!" (To be continued)
