Chapter Seventy-Five: A Broken Ancient Civilization
Looking at the mysterious magician like Gandalf in front of him, Ling Hong was also a little vigilant.
"Respected elder, I don't know who you are, why do you appear in the magic book?" Ling Hong didn't know how to answer now, could it be that the old man in front of him was Aka, the powerful magister in Monir's mouth?
"You don't even know my name, has it been so long?" The old man frowned, and at the same time closed his eyes slightly, and began to release his spiritual power, feeling the surrounding environment, and suddenly the old man's face suddenly changed.
"It's... How did the rules of this world become so strange? Could it be that the evil alchemist Maury is not dead? Is the final holy war a failure? The breath of the same clan has also disappeared!" The old man's face suddenly became as dead as ashes, "I can't complain about myself, I can't complain about others, I can't complain about others!"
"Elder, I don't know your name?" Ling Hong saw the shriveled old man's face change drastically on the side, and he suddenly fell into sadness and despair, and he felt even more strange, what the hell was going on?
"My full name is Cassido Morad, you can call me Acre, I used to be a magister, the most famous time-space dual-line magister on the continent, and now it is just an afterimage that will disappear at any time, since you kid has obtained my magic codex and awakened my sleeping soul, then you can also count yourself as half a disciple, boy, introduce yourself. β
Aka suddenly reacted that there was still a young man standing beside him, and he collected his emotions for a while, and the excitement that had just woken up disappeared without a trace because of the previous mental investigation.
"Hello Mr. Aka, my name is Ling Hong, and I am from Earth. Ling Hong replied respectfully.
"Tell me about the world right now, I've been asleep for too long. β
Aka looked at Ling Hong calmly, his eyes were slightly soft, Ling Hong didn't dare to refuse, and immediately told everything he knew, except that he was a loophole, to the mage in front of him called Aka.
......
"According to you, things don't seem to be as bad as I thought, so the holy war should be considered a success!"
Aka said to himself, then glanced down at Ling Hong, and smiled, "You must be curious about what our era went through, you might as well tell you about that buried history." β
"There was a great civilization in this land, and this civilization lasted for a long, long time, and the people were kind, intelligent, and powerful. β
"They have built many, many cities, with their own culture and technology, and have developed all kinds of martial arts and mystical magic that suit them. β
"Until one day ......"
"A very large black meteorite fell from the sky, breaking the peace of this world. Someone has extracted a new kind of energy from this huge black meteorite, and it is also energy that we have never seen before, we call it shadow energy. β
"Shadow energy is a very powerful energy, after mastering the shadow energy, the technology on this continent has made leaps and bounds, and many people have given up magic and martial arts, and they can enjoy the power and convenience brought by shadow energy without any exercise. β
Magister Aka fell into deep thought, and said that there was a slight reluctance on his brow.
"The shadow energy is really powerful, but his side effects are also beyond our imagination, he will erode people's hearts little by little, and even erode the vitality of this world, by the time someone on the mainland discovers this, it has been ten years, most people are immersed in the shadow energy, and they can't extricate themselves, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, it's too late!"
"A lot of people of insight and peak powerhouses on the mainland formed an alliance, wanting to forcibly destroy the black meteorite that still has nearly half of it, and many people who were dazzled by the shadow energy quit, and a protracted war against Japan began. β
"The war lasted for three years, and in the end we won, we successfully destroyed the black meteorite, I thought that the shadow energy had disappeared, but I didn't expect that something more terrible had just begun. β
"There is an alchemist named Mauri, he is a genius, he actually came up with the use of souls to synthesize another way that can replace the shadow energy, Maury can smelt people's souls to make a kind of fuel, we call him demon fuel, the demon fuel actually contains the shadow energy! That evil, devouring shadow energy!"
After that, the disaster struck again, the entire civilization was once again plunged into the flames of war, countless people who were unwilling to give up the shadow energy to follow Mauri, Mauri's power instantly increased more than ten times, more innocent souls were made into demonic fuel, and the entire continent fell into endless shadows. β
"Of course, not everyone is subjugated to Mauri's majesty, the alliance is reorganized again, and there are more righteous-minded people who have joined the alliance to resist Maury, and the unrestrained use of people's souls to make demonic fuel is simply crazy!"
"After several bloody battles, more and more people died, and at the same time, the appearance of more souls directly led to Mauri having more demon fuel, and the growth of shadow energy also made Mauri's side more and more powerful, in the war, many people did not want to die by themselves, and the soul was also ruined and made into demon fuel, they chose the soul to self-immolation, increase their strength in a short time, after death, the soul will condense into a small black flower, never turn over, the black flower we call it the demon flower, since then, the demon flower scattered all over the continentγ β
"The war was fought in the dark, countless landmasses were sunk, flooded by the sea, mountains and rivers were flattened, rivers were diverted, a good continent was shattered!"
"The final holy war is also the final decisive battle, a fifth-level great magician, also my teacher, he led me and several other disciples, with the other three fifth-level war kings, joined forces to raid the underground castle of Mauri, unfortunately, I was discovered by the eyeball battery, in order to cover the attack of other adults, I resisted all the attacks of the battery, was seriously injured, and passed out. β
"In the end, I found myself in a secret room, and it was supposed my teacher who saved me, and the teacher's staff was placed next to me, but the teacher was nowhere to be found. β
"My injuries were so serious, I barely supported myself in the secret room for half a month, and finally I was scattered and died, and before I died, I sealed my soul into my codex, so that future generations could one day discover my codex, so that I could finally see what the world had become. β
"I started practicing magic at the age of ten, became a magic apprentice at the age of twelve, and stepped into the ranks of the Magus at the age of seventy. β
Aka is obviously a little sad, there is no written record, Aka himself now doesn't know how long it has been since the ancient civilization of the year, but Ling Hong can be sure that Lao Mai and Charlie, and even the Valkyrie should not belong to that ancient era, but Moniel said that it is not good, it may be a nightmare that survived that era, what happened at that time, Ling Hong does not know.
