Chapter 52: The Dead Sea Papers and the Two Men by the Monument
After more than two hours, Constantine paced out of the Tower of Trials and walked back to his living quarters.
Seeing him come back, Roland was stunned for a moment, "You actually stayed there for so long?"
"It was a good success, and it seems that we may have to leave a little earlier. ”
Constantine said lightly, ignoring Roland's surprised eyes, and walked straight to his bedroom.
Once in the room, he pulled out the crystal from the dimensional ring and placed it on the table.
The light emitted from the crystal was already much brighter than it had been at the beginning, symbolizing the combat points he had earned in the past two hours of combat power.
Two hours, twenty-seven consecutive wins.
Presumably, it won't be long before the news spreads throughout the Outlands.
Constantine took out the ancient fragment Euler had given him from the ring--- the Dead Sea Papers.
After pinching the first page of the scroll with his fingers, Constantine's fingers stiffened, and countless messages flashed in his eyes.
There were sporadic pieces of magical energy left on the scrolls, and with the help of the trajectory of fate, Constantine judged that this should be the advanced magic used to seal the scrolls.
Any presence that comes into contact with the scrolls will be annihilated by the powerful energy in an instant.
The use of such a terrible spell to preserve this ancient book is enough to show that the "Crown of Mysteries" takes this book very seriously, and the average scholar mage may not have access to the Dead Sea Papers at all.
And Euler was able to break the spell on it, and even smuggled the scroll out and delivered it to Constantine.
Thinking of this, Constantine couldn't help but feel a little complicated, the unspeakable secrets of this former classmate seemed to be too many and hidden very deeply.
But when he thought about it, he had a lot of secrets on his body, and as long as he was sure that Euler was not his enemy, it didn't matter.
He turned the first page of the scroll.
On the yellowed paper, he saw that it was a world tree that led to the sky,
The scrolls were written in ink in unknown ancient characters, which Constantine had translated into recognizable characters with the help of astrology.
After only a few pages, Constantine's face became solemn,
He immediately understood why the book was considered heretical, and was even banned by the previous Pope of the Church of Light.
Because what this book describes is a completely different mythological system from the "Divine Codex".
Constantine studied at the seminary for two years and was well aware of the theoretical foundations of the Church of Light.
At the heart of the Church of Light's belief system is the origin of the world.
According to the Book of Genesis, the world was originally a chaotic world, the universe was filled with violent energy, countless planes were dark and desolate, and in this dead world, no life could stand.
It wasn't until the representative "Lord of Light" was born out of nothingness and opened up his own realm of God, the Heavenly Realm, that the wheel of time began to flow.
The Divine Code records: "The Lord loved the world, and sent angels to all planes to spread the fire of order, establish rules, and lead the dark universe to light." ”
Those planes that first received the light and fire from the hands of angels broke away from the primordial and chaotic, became part of the ordered world, and evolved their own civilization, developed and grew, and became the main plane above many planes.
Constantine remembered that in the Heavenly Mountain, Pope Innocent had said to himself that the first Pope Vanist, who established the Holy See on the Icadia continent, was probably from a major plane civilization with a higher level of civilization than the Icadia continent, and was himself a strong man in the main plane.
"So, in other planes other than Icadia, there are organizations similar to the Radiant See?" asked Constantine on his way to the steps of the Heavenly Mountain
"Yes. The Pope nodded, "In other planes, they also bear the responsibility of spreading the faith, and they also have different names for the light, such as the creator god, the supreme god, the source of all things, etc., although the names are not the same, but the perception of the Lord is basically the same. ”
In these planes, the "churches" rule over the entire plane, and even have authority over race and power, which is what my old friend Drakes dreamed of. Innocent sighed.
According to the leaders of the Church in the Lord's plane, God created the light and brought law and order to the plane universe.
Therefore, all sentient beings must also believe in the heavenly realm, accept the rule of the sect, and only after death can they ascend to the heavenly kingdom and obtain the salvation and sublimation of the soul, and even be reborn.
"However, the civilization of the main plane is so developed, there must be quite a few peerless powerhouses in it, and it is impossible for them all to be willing to obey the rule of the Heavenly Realm, so there is no choice to resist?" Constantine asked puzzled.
The Pope was silent for a moment, "So, they are all dead. ”
Constantine was shocked.
"Or they may fall into the abyss, be distorted by the power of chaos, and become demons, those who were particularly powerful in the main plane in life are now the abyss demon kings or great lords, for us living in the order plane, they are no different from death, or even worse. Pope Francis added.
Constantine felt faintly uncomfortable with this fact, and he thought of his parents who died in the bloody night of Winterfell, as well as those innocent Azerotans.
The Dead Sea Papers, on the other hand, reveal an alternative worldview that is diametrically opposed to the theories preached by the glorious propagators.
According to the Dead Sea Papers, there are a large number of indications that a highly developed civilization existed in the dimensional universe long before the Dawn of Harmony and the miracle of brilliance.
The foundation of this civilization is the World Tree, which runs through the entire universe, with a total of three layers, each of which contains countless worlds.
Each of the ancient ancestors who founded this civilization possessed far more power than people imagined today.
These ancient ancestors, known as the gods by the authors of the Dead Sea Papers, were in the early days of the Divine Generation, and the gods performed their own duties and contributed their own efforts to establish nine kingdoms on the third level of the World Tree.
The gods all have their real names, which are the unique code names given to them by the World Tree.
There are also factions among the Protoss, and the Protoss of different factions have different leaders, and the most powerful vein of the Protoss is the gods of the starry sky, occupying the top of the World Tree and ruling the boundless star field.
And the leader of the Starry Sky Protoss, whose real name is...
"Odin. ”
Seeing the entire familiar rune of the retina, Constantine's fingers holding the book trembled violently.
In my mind, there seemed to be thunder roaring, waves crashing on the shore, and countless dark pictures sealed in the ancient era were illuminated by electric light, and a corner was opened....
Constantine took a deep breath, immediately closed the book, walked to the window, looked at the sky of the sixth floating island, and fell into deep thought.
As night fell, the stars were hidden, and in the distant sky, there was a faint glow.
......
Early the next morning, Constantine left the mansion and headed straight for the Tower of Trials.
Two hours later, Constantine walked out of the gate of the Tower of Trials, walking calmly, calmly, and breathlessly, just as he had just stepped into the gate of the Tower of Trials a few hours earlier.
The only thing that has changed is the dimensional ring he wears, which contains the crystals that store battle points.
The luster of the crystal has become brighter than yesterday.
In just two hours, Constantine won a total of 29 victories.
......
Day 3.
This time, when Constantine came to the gate of the Tower of Trials again, the attitude of the people around him had changed a lot, and the gaze that fell on him no longer contained the contempt at the beginning, but a lot of awe.
The Warlocks of the Starry Tower have always kept a low profile in the City of Daybreak, and they are naturally vulnerable to neglect.
Astrologers are notoriously bad at fighting, and it's no surprise that they are despised in the power-honored arena of Doom.
Until the advent of Constantine.
A newcomer, for two consecutive days, won fifty-six battles, which was enough to attract the attention of countless trialists.
What's more, among the defeated opponents, there are strong men like "Ode to the Soul" Karthas and "Soul of Iron Armor" Maude Caesar, who are only one foot away from being listed in the Holy Monument.
Ignoring the gaze around him, Constantine calmly walked towards the Tower of Trials, and only stopped until the edge of the tower, when he was about to step inside the gate.
He looked up, his gaze passed through the outer wall of the tower, and in his dark blue pupils, dozens of bright and dark light clusters were reflected, which were the magic emitted by the trialists participating in the gladiatorial battle in the tower.
Above each cluster of light, there is a main star of destiny that only Constantine can see.
Using the principle of backtracking, from the trajectory of the main star, the star eyes analyzed countless information, including the level, ability, combat methods, and even personality of these powerhouses in the different plane.
Constantine closed his eyes and patiently digested all the information about these trialists, while his mind was running at high speed, formulating corresponding battle plans for trialists with different fighting styles, and simulating the corresponding results in his brain.
It was a long time before he opened his eyes, a mysterious smile on his face, and slowly walked into the Tower of Trials.
This time, the battle lasted just over an hour, and Constantine walked briskly out of the Tower of Trials.
And in the gladiatorial arenas of the Trial Tower behind him, the trialists from the different planes stood blankly in place, their expressions glazed, until the moment they were defeated, they didn't have time to react.
This opponent called "Morning Star" is really terrifying, and this is the common thought of all the trialists who participated in the battle.
.......
Outer city.
It is a large hall with a pool in the center of the hall, sparkling like a mirror.
In the center of the pool, there stands an ancient stone tablet about ten meters high, the stone tablet is pure black throughout, and the edges are full of cracks, which is particularly vicissitudes.
More than a hundred glittering silver crystals flew around the stone monument like a flying silver meteor.
On the ancient stone stele, there are a hundred lines of golden runes inscribed, arranged from top to bottom, if you look closely, you will find that they are more than a hundred code names, representing more than a hundred trialists on the list.
The owner of the arena, a peerless powerhouse codenamed "Sword Bearer", was standing by the pool, watching all this with great interest.
Unlike before, this time, his gaze did not fall on the magnificent stone tablet, but on the surface of the pool.
The Enchanted Pool is a daily scene of battles in the Tower of Trials.
At this moment, the projection of the water surface is divided into dozens of images by an invisible force.
The protagonists of the picture are all the same person, and it is none other than Constantine
Opposite the sword-wielder, beside the pool, stood a beautiful silver-haired woman, dressed in a military uniform, with a crescent-shaped mark on her forehead.
"What do you think of this newcomer in the picture?" said the sword-wielder.
The silver-haired woman looked down at the magic projection in the pool, thought for a while, and her face became extremely solemn: "This magician named Morning Star, he is very terrifying. ”
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"His magic isn't very powerful, but as you can see, Morningstar knows everything about every trialist he fights against, and everyone's movements, thoughts, and tactical styles are pierced by him. ”
The silver-haired woman stared at Constantine's deep dark blue eyes in the water, and for a moment she was a little distracted, "And it is definitely not an accident that you can always win the final victory with the least consumption. ”
"The strong people who have stepped into a desperate situation have different talents, and the path they choose to improve is also different, and the vast majority of the strong people take the route of pure strength, because most of their talents are related to their own strength. ”
"But this mage, codenamed Morning Star, is different. "In my opinion, his talent is more in the use of his own wisdom. ”
"Wisdom?"
"Yes. The silver-haired woman nodded firmly, "Wisdom is also a fighting talent, and moreover, it is more precious. ”
The sword-wielder asked quietly, "If you were back then, would you be sure to defeat him?"
The silver-haired woman thought for a moment and shook her head, "In the face of such an opponent, if you can't absolutely crush it at the level of strength, you have no chance of winning at all." ”
"Moreover, he is only a crown now, and when he becomes a magister, I think most of the code names on this stone tablet will be trampled under his feet. The silver-haired woman turned her head to look into the pool, and said as the stone tablet that had stood for thousands of years.
The sword-bearer smiled, "It seems that after so many years in a desperate situation, your judgment has improved to a surprising level in addition to swordsmanship, dear Luna. ”
In the face of the praise of the sword-wielder, the number three person in the current Void Desperate Situation, the "Moonlight Daughter" who made countless chaotic races tremble, did not say no, but continued to think deeply with his chin propped up.
Seeing that Luna, who had always been arrogant, did not hesitate to affirm Constantine, the sword-bearer was a little surprised and a little relieved that this little girl who was arrogant back then had finally grown up.
"Based on his current record, it's only a matter of time before he enters the Void Desperate Realm. The sword-wielder waved his hand, and the projection in the water quickly disappeared.
He said, "Where are you going to put him there?"
A twinkle in Luna's eyes flickered, "If Morningstar himself doesn't have an opinion, I hope he can follow me to the front." ”
The sword-wielder raised his head, his eyes sharp: "Are you going to let him go directly to the Great Wall of Desperation?"
Luna nodded, her tone calm, "I need an assistant by my side, and he is a perfect fit for me." ”
