After saying this, the Pope's body under the white robe trembled slightly, his face looked a little old, he coughed violently twice, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more distinct.

Constantine, who noticed this scene, was taken aback, "You..."

"It's nothing, the power of the Daybreak Oath is stronger than I thought, if I were to show you these images outside of Heavenly Mountain, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand up now. ”

The Pope laughed dryly, but his face was calm, "Compared to a broken soul, losing only a few years of life is already a very light punishment. ”

Constantine had heard from Joey about some of the oldest rules of the World Tree Council, that every mage who stepped into the City of Dawn would be forced to take an oath not to divulge the secrets of the Council to the outside world for the rest of his life, or anyone who broke the oath would be punished horribly.

The Pope uses his magic to trigger the fragments of memories hidden in the pendant, which are closely related to the City of Daybreak and have become a condition for breaking the oath according to the laws of contract.

Looking at the young man's worried gaze, the Pope just smiled, "This is a law set by His Excellency Faustus himself thousands of years ago, no one is exempt, but there is an old saying that is good: oaths, from the moment they are made, are waiting to be broken." ”

"The City of Dawn, which sits just outside the continent of Icadia, on a small continent near the Stormy Ocean, separated from the two continents like an island. ”

"In order to keep the world from knowing its exact location, the mages of the early council set up a lot of powerful spatial magic that was used to hide, distorting the dimensional environment in that area so that the outside world could not see it. ”

"However, every seventy years or so, the World Tree Council sends emissaries to the two continents to find geniuses with extraordinary magical qualifications and bring them back to the City of Daybreak, so that the magic within the City of Daybreak will be passed on. ”

"The messenger in charge of all this belongs to a mysterious organization called the Star Tower, and each of the tower's owners is the best astrologer in the world, and my old friend Laplace is the owner of the Star Tower today. ”

"In addition to the Star Tower, there are several other institutions under the World Tree Council, which are in charge of different affairs, such as the well-known Alchemy Altar. ”

"Alchemy Altar!" Constantine was completely shocked.

The Alchemy Altar is the richest organization in the entire Icadia Continent, controlling more than half of the production and supply of alchemy items in the entire continent, as well as the largest number of mineral resources.

For centuries, alchemy altars were synonymous with wealth.

The upper echelons of the alchemy altar are all famous alchemists from various countries, and their wealth is so rich that the princes and nobles of various small countries are coveted.

The famous weapons worn by many of the powerhouses of the Holy Realm also came from the Alchemy Altar without exception, and their influence can be seen.

But until today, Constantine didn't know that behind this rich alchemy organization, there was such a behemoth as the World Tree Council.

"The rest, when you enter the council one day, will naturally know. The Pope coughed heavily.

"Why do you, the astrologer named Laplace, and Lord Joey, seem so sure that I will one day go to the City of Dawn?" Constantine was puzzled.

"Because," the Pope looked at him with complicated eyes, "haven't you realized it until now? ”

......

There was a long silence.

All the consternation of Constantine's first seventeen years did not add up to the present, and he felt that he would not be more surprised if the next moment the Pope said that Diana was his long-lost sister.

"On me... There is the blood of the legendary St. Faust. Constantine felt that his throat was unusually dry, and he could only squeeze out these words with all his might.

"The power you have just shown is far beyond the level that ordinary magicians can achieve, and those who can compete with the Heavenly Realm Divine Radiance, except for the legendary Seven Demon Kings of the Abyss, which symbolize extreme chaos, are the only ones who have done it, and the starlight you just summoned is the unique magic of Faust himself, and it is also the best proof of your bloodline. ”

"According to the records of the World Tree Council, Faust's most powerful magical ability is that he can communicate with the billions of stars in the void and use the power of the stars to complete spells that are impossible in reality. ”

"This is an ability that countless astrologers who have explored the star vault have dreamed of throughout the ages. The Pope looked up at the brilliant galaxy above his head and was filled with emotion.

"Because of this, he is considered the strongest under the stars. ”

Above the temple, a figure appeared in the picture formed by the particles of light.

It was a magician, he stood on the main peak where the City of Dawn was located, with the vast sea of stars above him, and around him, countless pale blue stars slowly fluttered, and in the center of each star was wrapped in a very small mystical symbol, representing the power of an attribute.

All the symbols come together to form this incomparably grand magical realm, like a reflection of the sea of stars

"This is the greatest achievement of St. Faust's life--- [Azure Star Field], this realm magic is fused with the power contained in tens of thousands of stars. The Pope exclaimed. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

Constantine nodded involuntarily, but soon, more questions appeared in his mind.

"If, as you say, St. Faustus, my ancestor, is so powerful, why did he fall before the beginning of the Golden Age, and why didn't he take part in the Battle of the Dawn?" Constantine looked at the projection of Faust in the starry sky, and gradually expressed the confusion in his heart that had been beyond it for a long time.

"Why did the Gate of Heaven appear in Winterfell, and why did Mother make that choice?"

"I don't know. ”

"Perhaps it is because Faust's power is so strong that he cannot be seen above the stars, just like the fallen demon king Lucifer who turned his back on the light eons of time," said the Pope. ”

"Your mother... Perhaps for this reason, it is really a very dangerous thing for the brilliance that represents the eternal order to allow those who have the ability to break the balance of rules to exist and be active in the dimensional universe for a long time. ”

Constantine heard many obscure and terrible truths contained in the Pope's words. He shuddered.

A picture came to his mind: in the long river of time that passed by many planes, countless unknown powerhouses struggled to climb for generations, pursuing the peak of strength, but when a few people came to the peak with joy, they were greeted by an indifferent gaze from above the heavenly dome.

The young man raised his head and looked at the figure standing in the brilliant sea of stars above his head, and suddenly felt that the back of this ancestor seemed so lonely and desolate, lonely and desolate.
