Chapter 395: The Temple of True and False
"Actually, Clarence's invisibility potion didn't work, so it caused those treasure hunters to be hit hard in the Flame Canyon, but there is such a person on the vast continent who thinks they are smart and longs for eternal life, so they will provoke this war that lasts the longest and has the largest number of casualties in the history of the Horn Desert. Winston said this, and his mood became very low.
Andy was surprised to hear the name "Clarence", and he was under the impression that Clarence had something to do with the Ghost Temple, which was not wrong, but it was not as "crucial" as Winston had told him. He couldn't help asking, "Isn't Clarence an ancient polymath?, and does he have any direct connection to the Dragon War?" Winston laughed at Andy's words, and he pointed to a dark figure in the distance and asked, "See what that is?"
Andy fixed his gaze on the wriggling shadow in the distance, and after a moment he gasped and replied, "Isn't that Jacob?" and said, "That's Jacob, a monster created by Clarence himself." Andy was very shocked when he heard this, and he said solemnly: "I see, no wonder Clarence knows everything about Jacob. ”
Winston nodded and said, "At that time, this tentacle monster entangled a large number of failed treasure hunters to wash the Ghost Temple, which also accelerated the fall of the heirs of the Sweetwater Oasis. ”
"I remember when I was in the Bugle Desert, Clarence said the same thing, oh yes! In the Abyss, Clarence also talked about why Jacob was always thinking about the ancient ghosts in the temple. But can these things have anything to do with a librarian?" asked Andy, puzzled.
"Librarian, if that's exactly what you say, Clarence is the real master of the Ghost Temple, and your parents are just his full-time mages, so you understand why a librarian can know about the Dragon War, right?"
Andy couldn't accept Winston's words for a while, he had only known Clarence since he knew that it was an ancient ghost who loved dancing and longed for physical objects, but he didn't expect that the other party would hide such a prominent identity. He looked up at Winston and said, "Clarence once found a map in the dome of the library, and the pattern drawn on it was very similar to the scene just now, and I asked him, but he didn't give more details to me and Trist, just kept emphasizing the treasures of the vast continent and the fountain of eternal life. ”
Winston let out a sneer, he lowered his head and said very disdainfully: "At that time, Clarence was really a failure as the leader of the Ghost Temple, he secretly drew a map of the Flame Canyon, sent people to steal dragon scales, raised tentacle monsters, and made invisibility potions, he was already burned by power and lust, so that he was used by Victor. ”
Andy frowned, he had heard something he couldn't have imagined today. "Isn't Victor my father's uncle, and does he have anything to do with Clarence?" asked Andy, puzzled. Winston waved his arms in the wilderness, and a portrait of him painted in ink gradually appeared, and he glanced back at Andy before reminding, "Look at it! This is your illustrious Sweetwater Oasis family, pay attention to the man in the upper right corner." ”
"That's Victor!" Andy said resentfully. Winston said unabashedly, "It is true that Clarence is the master of the Ghost Temple, but your family is the master of the Sweetwater Oasis. Especially your father, Brian has been defined as the successor to the next High Priest, and your uncle is the guy in the upper right corner of the portrait who is very unwilling. Andy was silent, and he saw his mother in his youth, noble and inviolable.
"It is because your family's prestige is so high that it threatens Clarence's position. Although he doesn't say it, this guy is secretly colluding with Victor in an attempt to subvert your father's position. The beginning of the Dragon War was a conspiracy, and ending it heralded the fall of the Sweetwater Oasis Heir. The High Priest eventually defeated the Guardian Dragon, who had lost the Time Key, and the Bronze Dragon Royalty retreated, but at great cost. The treasure hunters who had been hiding near the Sweetwater Oasis took advantage of the High Priest's depleted magical abilities to sneak up on the Ghost Temple. Ironically, Clarence not only did not send troops to resist, but he also held a banquet to entertain those sneak attackers, and the result was a blood-stained feast, and the piles of bones burned for a whole month. Winston lifted Andy, who was deep in thought, with his hand, and the two gradually got rid of the illusion and returned to the small stone house they had just had.
Andy became silent, he didn't want to say a word. Winston didn't end his story, he continued: "Clarence didn't correct his mistake in time, he had only one purpose at the time, and that was to rid the Ghost Temple of your father's aura completely. What I heard was that the crazy guy set in motion the hourglass of time just as he was about to lose everything, which eventually led to the fall of the Spectre Temple, and the millennial fortress fell into the abyss, until Dylan's appearance turned the tide. ”
Winston was silent after saying this, and the small stone house became cold and silent. Andy took a deep breath and asked meaninglessly, "I didn't notice your existence when I arrived in the Abyss, didn't I ......" Winston laughed, he replied with his fingers in his ear, "Aren't you also the Brian couple you met this time?" Andy smiled too, and he frowned, and the embarrassed expression on his face was unobstructed.
Winston sighed and said, "When the Ghost Temple fell, your father used the brocade box to create a fortress of equal proportions, and we have been waiting there for an opportunity. When Dylan used the power of the tides to teleport you to the desert, Brian sensed a powerful magical power on another plane, a magic that only demigods can use. He and your mother decisively gave up their bodies and traveled through the rift of time to get here. Brian had met Dylan, and he had always had a grudge against the Elven race of Colby, but the ugly-looking demigod impressed Brian. ”
Andy still didn't get it, and he rubbed his right index finger against his upper lip. Winston pointed to Andy's little habit and said, "This action is very similar to Brian, I can't imagine it, you were only the size of my fingernails when you were born, and now you ......" Andy bit his lip, he is not a person who wants to get to the bottom of it, but there are some things he must figure out. "The two ghost temples are really incredible. The temples I've seen before and after are indeed different, so can you tell me which one is real?"
