"Later, Archibald sent me back to Negan with the seal. It's a pity that this blood bead sealed with the secret method of the ancient elves and the dark star can't even be broken by me. The only way is to use the life of a person who has the imprint of the Dark Star in his body like Archibald and is fully capable of accepting the breath of the Dark Star to continuously reduce the power of the seal. ”

"Qingming is lofty, and there is no dispute with the world. This is Archibald's message to the necromancer. The people who can enter the Valley of Diya are the best of the human race, and those who can really have such a mentality will not go to great lengths to practice that meditation technique, nor will they pursue anything, they are the best guards of that sword. Every necromancer could feel the breath of that sword when they received the imprint of the Dark Star, and needless to say, they all understood what it was. But once the heart is covered by ** and other derived things, he will be attracted by the sword, such a person can also practice the meditation technique of unifying the mind, which means that his soul has completely integrated with those ** derived things, and can already resonate with the dark star, so Archibald left such a path. ”

"By now, you should understand why the path left behind by Archibald is a road that will kill people. Neither Archibald nor I want anyone to actually pull up the Dark Star. ”

"I only understood one thing. Asa had been listening quietly, and now suddenly he was laughing, half angry and half wry. "Archibald still has a problem with his head, but he is idle and panicked. Since it's something you can't touch, you just have to say everything clearly. What hellish prophecy was left behind, so that everything is now in a miasma......"

"You know, little one. Your head, thinking ability, vision, and heart are not even comparable to one of Archibald's toes. Morriel's hot breath in his nose exhaled to Asa, who felt his hair and eyebrows bend at the same time. "Don't judge you for being smarter than you with your monkey-like intelligence and values. That's what I hate about humans the most. ”

"The Great Elven Empire era. The elves are far more advanced in both magic and technology than you humans and monkeys now, and they know a lot more about the properties of the Doomsday Blade than Archibald, but in the end? Because the purpose of that sword's existence is for people to use, you know?"

"I don't understand. Asa shook his head honestly.

"That sword is made up of countless **, emotions, thoughts, and souls. **, not just a direct expression of greed. It's a pursuit. Whether it is an elf or a human, they will look towards a higher, better, farther place, and will pursue more things and stronger power. ** The earth continues to accumulate, and eventually it will tilt, deteriorate, and collapse, resulting in despair, anger, and murderous intent. And these are the breaths contained in this sword.

"If you are flexible, there will be **, there will be **, and if you swarm this sword, you will use this sword. The sword is a gathering of death, but it is also one with life itself. Death is not the opposite of life, but an integral part of life. ”

"The development and progress of living beings is like building blocks piled higher and higher, but no matter how high they are, they will eventually collapse due to their weight and height, and that sword is actually a valve, and when a pile of blocks is high enough to let it collapse in advance. It will not make the blocks too high and too heavy and fall irretrievably, and you can give the next stack of accumulated space...... There seems to be a more ancient culture before the Elven Empire, and then there is the Elven Empire, and then there is the current world of your human race, and maybe there will be some other races rising in the future...... The Dark Star is both a destruction, but it also brings new life to it. This is the principle of the cycle of the world, do you understand?"

"Still don't understand. Asa shook her head.

"As expected, little monkey. Morrill wasn't surprised. The dragon grinned as if he sneered, but the hot air that scorched Assa's skin for a while. "Five hundred years ago, even I didn't understand it, that's what Archibald told me...... Hmph, I have to admit that although he is a human being, he also has a great place......"

It's just that he is just a person after all, and even if he sees these truths, he still can't completely transcend his identity as a human being. Knowing that it was futile, knowing that day would come sooner or later, I still couldn't help but think of this trick to delay it. I know that if I destroy that sword, at least before the sword is recondensed, humans can survive for thousands of more years, but they still have to desperately stop me for the sake of those people in front of me. ”

"What surprised me the most was that he could have transformed into a lich and existed almost forever, but he didn't do that. In the end, I don't even know how I died. ”

"Even if I can see those distant truths and see the trajectory of all things, I am only a weak human being after all, just a grain of sand in the great river of this world and time. Be a good person, do what a person can do, struggle, be weak, be helpless, and finally die like everyone else. It's the only thing I want to do, and the only thing I can do. ”

"When I heard that this person who was supposed to be the strongest in the human race said such a thing, I thought for the first time that maybe human beings are not such a low thing. Morriel no longer looked at Asa, but narrowed his eyes, seemingly completely immersed in his own memories. "What a nasty guy...... If other dragons knew, it would be strange that the princess of the arrogant black dragon clan would be a little tempted by a human......"

"I seem to understand a little......" Asa nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh?" Morrill looked at him with some surprise, and looked at him for a moment. "It doesn't seem to be nonsense, but I really understand something. ”

"So what did he say...... Those who gather power will speak of the meaning of the Dark Star...... Do you have the leaves of the World Tree like me......"

"Like you?" Morrill was stunned for a moment, then a thunderous laugh burst out of her gaping mouth. "What, do you think you're powerful?"

Asa opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Moriel's laughter only shook his ears.

"Don't make me laugh. How can the power in Archibald's mouth be the same as the power in the mouth of you flies and dogs? In your eyes, power can only be used to beat people, can be used to blow people, can be used to blow people up magic, is it the magic fluctuations that roll in the body are the thickness of muscles, right?" Morriel shook his head, the expression on his face, although Asa couldn't understand it, but it should mean the same thing when humans laughed at rats and cockroaches. "In the eyes of these later generations, Archibald's level is actually the same as that of a rascal who only knows how to fight wolves, and his eyes are just fixed on those things? ”

"Do you know what the true power of humanity is? People's minds and magical talents are not necessarily higher than those of elves, and their physical strength is much worse than that of orcs, and even their lifespan is only a few decades, but they can develop to the point where they are today in a short period of time, just because**. Crazy to pursue, to expand, to devour, to pursue higher and better, and that is why you have been able to get to this point. ”

"This ** continues to accumulate, and it will eventually get out of control. Constantly pursuing higher and stronger, even the things of one's own origin are covered and distorted by the things derived from **, which is the breath in that sword. These forces converge, concentrate, mingle, and then deteriorate, whether out of ambition, revenge, despair, curiosity, or whatever, in short, someone will draw that sword. Morriel stretched out his dragon's claws and pointed at Asa. That's the difference between vision and mind. Archibald speaks from a human point of view, and you understand from your fist. ”

"You should be glad that all you had held before was the hilt of your sword. Your heart doesn't match the breath of the sword at all, the power of the Sunwell and the leaves of the World Tree can protect your body in the face of the power of the hilt, but as long as you touch the full sword body, I guarantee that you will become a dry corpse in three seconds, and then fall to pieces. ”

"It's true that Archibald is much better and better than you, but he is only a man after all. What he said was only his own speculation, not a metaphor that could determine the direction of the world. It's just that the humble guys usually like to need a high-minded prophecy to guide them, so they twist his words according to their own ideas. ”

"That'...... What about the leaves of the World Tree and the Sunwell? I've heard of it among the elves......"

"Well, that's just the self-righteous thoughts of those pointy-eared guys. When the Elven King was taken over by the Doom Blade, they spent all the energy of the Elven Mages using magic to create several things that they wanted to use to fight the Doom Blade, two of which were the Leaves of the World Tree and the Sunwell. I have to admit that those guys' magic skills are indeed excellent, and with their understanding of the Doom Blade, they actually made the Leaf of the World Tree similar to it and contradicted in power, but the power of this thing is not as good as that of the Dark Star, and they didn't have time to use it. In the great catastrophe that followed, a handful of elves survived with these things. ”
