Since the end of the Age of the Gods and the establishment of the Age of Wizards, wizards have been passed down for more than 10,000 years and 3,000 years, among which there are countless geniuses and legendary wizards like the sands of the Ganges. But if after the Augustan dynasty ended the rule of the wizards, the most legendary and mysterious wizard was Marceau.
In the 2,100 years of Augustus, the last legendary wizard, Umma, was affected by the elemental decay and died of old age. And Marceau is the heir to his mantle, a great wizard with a great reputation. He has a leading research experience in all areas of wizarding, including alchemy, potions, summoning, elementals, bloodlines, and transformation.
However, due to the environment, he was unable to advance to the legend after all, and in the end he resolutely devoted himself to the study of dark wizards in public.
Then, Augustus went through 2,200 years, and feared the Dream Builder, a spell of epoch-making significance for dark wizards, came out, and was passed on to all dark wizards by Maso, and thus, Marceau was named King of Dark Witches by all dark wizards.
Of course, he was also hunted down by His Majesty the legendary throne of Augustus because his identity was revealed. In particular, the Augustus King clan even invited three old immortal beings to join the hunting team.
It is certain that Marceau is not a legendary wizard, but his strength and escape ability have exceeded the limits of his professional level, and he has continued to be active for nearly a hundred years under the siege and pursuit of several legendary throne wives.
A hundred years later, the Battle of Hyjal, well, a battle of a few people should not be called a battle, but this battle is defined as a battle, because an intact Hyjal plain has been transformed into a Hanhai desert, and in the center, a terrible rift with deep magma appears.
Since then, the House of Augustus has announced that the Dark Witch King Marceau has been killed. Since then, there has been no news of Marceau, the Dark Witch King.
Both Mu En and Aya have enough knowledge of this history, so the signature of 'Marceau' on the title page made both of them face a big change, of course, the second thought that arose was fake, this 'Marceau' is not the other 'Marceau', the same name.
And the time that followed seems to be positive on this, since the fall of the Augustan dynasty, it is customary for the continent of Viku to count that year as the New Age calendar, and the record on the title page is the two hundred and ninety years of the New Era calendar, that is, if it really exists, it means that he lived for at least 1,4500 years.
Even a legendary wizard may not be able to live like this, let alone a dark wizard who can't advance to the legendary level.
As if comforting each other, Mu En and Aya exchanged glances, comforted each other, and then, with some trembling and some anticipation, opened the travelogue.
......
The travelogue begins with the wizard named Marceau entering Baal's tomb, and records his encounter on the ancient battlefield in the first person. Since it is a travelogue, it is naturally recorded by date, and some are written every day, and all kinds of information are scattered in it, which is very scattered.
It took Muen and Aya the time of the real two hourglasses to read through it, and then they glanced at each other, and there was a shock in their eyes that could not be concealed.
There is so much useful information recorded in the books, from some historical speculations, to the abilities and flaws of the demonic monsters encountered, to some tips for exploration, to the terrain of the ancient battlefield, the danger points, and even the route of how to get out, and the reason why Marceau explored the Baal tomb.
When Philim's corpse was abused into a pulp, Meereen also stopped venting, his eyes were blank as if he had lost his soul, and Mu En didn't care what state he was, pulled him and gave him a blank scroll and a quill pen, and gave him a simple explanation, so that he could start recording.
Immediately after, Aya began to recite a second time, her voice was crisp and loud, spreading in the four fields, and Mu En herself took out a blank parchment scroll, and began to record key information points, and marked them on a certain page from time to time, so as to facilitate the word-by-word query later.
This is a habit he has developed in the huge library of the White Tower, which is conducive to quickly finding the knowledge he wants in the vast number of books.
Of course, Meereen and Muen are not recording one aspect.
At first, Meereen was a little confused, but gradually the secrets recorded in his travelogue attracted his attention, and he began to pick and choose according to Muen's request and began to record information.
Marceau's travelogue was written purely in Tunguska, but with some lost texts in between, which shows the author's breadth of knowledge and makes Maya's reading not too fluent, but this does not prevent the reading of the information.
After another hourglass hour, when Aya closed the book again, Mu En's parchment scroll was already full of dense small characters, one by one looking like dense ants, Mu En didn't care about anything else, but took out a blank scroll again, began to sort out the information, and recorded it.
This time it was very fast, only ten minutes later, when Mu En looked up again, his eyes were already bloodshot, he looked at the two people who were a little waiting, and let out a long breath, as if to vent his shock.
The place where the three of them are located is the ancient battlefield, the center of Baal's tomb, which is something that Muen vaguely affirms in his heart, but it is recorded in the book that this is also the kingdom of Baal, the god of fear, a level in the abyss - the Plains of Despair and Sighs.
At the end of the age of the gods, the fundamental reason why the wizard was able to replace the gods as the protagonists of this world was the collapse of the magic net and the eternal sleep of the goddess of magic, Mystra, which led to a great reduction in the strength of the gods.
But the beginning of the war between the gods and wizards began here, with the fall of Baal, the god of fear.
However, there is a question that many people ignore, the god of fear, Baal, is also a powerful divine power, one of the three gods of death, and one of the very few peak existences, and why didn't the wizard pick the soft persimmon and pinch it first, but found him?
The answer given in the travelogue is actually quite simple - to fight for the power of fear!
The gods, to put it bluntly, are one of the defenders of the rules of this world, they enjoy the power to change the land and the height to be admired, and they are also subject to the beliefs of mortals.
And, as the guardians of the rules, they are also slaves of their own godhead, simply put, Apollo, the god of the sun, must spread his light, Cranvo, the god of death, must keep the Styx flowing and the soul to retain, and Tyr, the god of justice, needs to ensure the existence of fairness and justice like a scale.
And Baal, the god of fear, naturally wants to spread fear and despair.
It can be said that everywhere chaos and fear occurs in the world, Baal will receive the power of fear, and this is definitely a thing for the original wizards, the first wizards who increased their strength with the power of fear and despair.
Initially, Baal, the god of fear, was friendly to wizards, as they were contributing to him, and this was the basis for wizards to trick him into the plane.
But the wizard didn't do it, oh, we were tired and tired, we did all the dirty work, and most of the power of fear we gained was actually siphoned off by Bal.
What the hell is going on?
Life and death are downbeat, and if you don't accept it, you will do it!
The original wizard school really couldn't get around it, so he was ruthless and came up with the strongest lineup, thirteen large-scale wizard schools, nearly a hundred floating cities, and dozens of legendary wizards.
Of course, Baal is not a dry eater, seeing that he can't live anymore, he suddenly pulls his kingdom of God, a place in the bottomless abyss, the plain of fear and despair, into the main plane, and creates this war Jedi.
Of course, the wizards in that war were not easy to bear, and the endless demons and monsters in the later period almost drowned the participants in the war, and many wizards were swallowed up by the second endless war before they could enjoy the fruits of victory. Moreover, the complete destruction of Baal, the god of fear, also stirred the nerves of the gods.
This is not a weak divine power of a cat or a dog, it is a powerful divine power, and the top few existences have actually fallen like this, completely falling, and there is no chance of reincarnation, how can this not make the gods angry at the same time, even more infinite...... Fear.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention the gods who have ruled the world for countless years, and after the start of the all-out war, the wizard almost immediately entered the most torturous winter.
However, on the other hand, the death of the god of fear, as well as the beginning of a full-scale war, and the turmoil of the world, also gave them the opportunity to develop rapidly.
All of the above is too far back, and if you get closer, this Baal's tomb leads directly to a certain place in the bottomless abyss, and it can also be said that if there is no obstruction from this Jedi, the Viku Continent will have to establish a seventh professional academy.
The shock from the thick history is not over yet, and Marceau also reveals the reason why he is here, it is this endless black fog in the sky, and there is a frightened face under every trace of fog - a dilution of the divine power of fear. (To be continued.) )
