Chapter 88: Humans and Gods (2)
Polis, leaning on the head of the bed, quickly restrained her laughter, because she saw the strange expression of the person in front of her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's no joke. I have come to you this time to find out why humanity has become the master of Roland, and that strange prophecy. Heda's face was full of self-deprecation, "Don't you feel incredible?" In fact, when I tracked it down, it felt exactly like you are now. ”
Polis looked at her in a daze.
"If that's the case, why are you here? Could it be that someone else is really in charge ......of this?"
"Think I'm not enough?" Heda laughed, "I feel the same way in the face of such a big thing." However, I am indeed the only one who came to track down this time. It's just that what I found is just some clues, and it hasn't been taken seriously by my family. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"I'll tell you slowly, my Miss Polis. Hedda waved his hand and signaled her not to worry, "I also feel quite incredible about this. It has to start with the lizardman camp, do you remember the weird dragon knight I told you about when I came back?"
"You're saying that the young man who uses the Light of Divine Enlightenment, the Contract Beast, is a terrifying dragonborn?"
"That's right, I went back this time and told his family everything about him, and it was easy to find out his true identity. Do you know who he is? Tell me, I'm afraid you don't believe it, he's Levi Arthur, the son of the Duke whose family was ruined and then relegated to this side......"
"You can't be wrong, are you?"
"No way, I remember his appearance very well. When the family brought me the Shadow Golem, I first spotted him in a pile of figures. After that, our people went to verify and confirmed my finding. This former famous wreck has indeed been transformed into a dragon knight. Hedda said this, his face was very complicated, "It was from him that we gradually discovered something very special. ”
"Don't say half a sentence, leave half a sentence, hurry up!" Polis was completely interested.
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly. Such a person has undergone such a strange change, and we can't afford not to pay attention to it. Especially where he is is so important. Naturally, the family needs to investigate. As a result, this investigation really found out some unexpected things. Hedda asked another question, "Polis, you should know that Winterdragon City once sent troops to raid the Limestone Town, right?"
"Yes, there is such a thing. The person who led the troops was still the young master Andy. It's a pity that they fell into an ambush and the whole army was wiped out. Tsk, I heard they had lost a formation of Hippogriff knights, and two griffons. Polis said with gusto, "Bert's guy is out of luck. The night after his son was captured, Ramon suddenly landed as a doppelganger. As a result, he delayed again and again because of the problem of sacrifices. Until now, there is no choice but to pay a ransom to the other party in exchange for his son. ”
"Then you know, why did Winter Dragon City send someone over there?"
"Didn't you say that the kid named Levi was too arrogant, and he was going to teach the other party a lesson?"
"That's not the case. Hedda explained with a smile, "This Earl of Winterdragon was panicked when he found out about our plans. I don't know how he got in touch with Gwen Ash, and he actually secretly colluded with each other, wanting to get the other party's help by betraying Limestone Town. It's just that he didn't expect that the small Limestone Town was hiding a bunch of secrets, and it ended up being planted there just like me. ”
"Isn't this related to Gwen?" Polis's face changed slightly after hearing the name.
"It does have something to do with him. To be exact, we discovered the secret of his attention. Heda's face was smug, "This hateful human wizard is doing this because he intends to find his master, Bancroft's Wizard Tower. Polis, you may not know, but this is also a great wizard. Although his fame is far inferior to the disciples he trained, his strength is probably not far behind. According to the elders of the family, this Bancroft was once known as the 'Hand of the Dragon' and was one of the most powerful wizards in the empire at the time. A hundred years ago, he suddenly didn't hear from him, and the last message he sent through the Wizard's Tower seemed to be around Limestone. Considering the abilities of these archwizards, we suspect that there is a good chance that he is still alive. Even if he did die, Levi Arthur's mutation must have something to do with him. It is estimated that Gewen Ash also got some clues and wanted to test it, so he asked Winter Dragon City to send troops to encircle and suppress it. ”
"But how does this get to the secret of human supremacy, and that terrible prophecy?" Peris asked.
"That's because you don't know who Bancroft is. This great wizard of mankind has a very strange personality. He regarded following in the footsteps of the wizards of the Cankus era as his only hobby. For this reason, he always has no fixed place to live and travels around. Often, after less than a month or two of being in one place, the next place is changed. But strangely, Bancroft ended up living in Limestone for a full ten years. Many people who knew him were speculating that he had found something magical at the monuments over there. Hedda spoke.
"It can't have anything to do with what you said, right?"
"That's right. Hedda replied with a smile, "According to the family's ancient books, the land of Nangalan was once the stronghold of a famous Wizard Tower faction during the Kankus era for thousands of years. The wizards who belong to it are united by common interests. And this thing that fascinates them is the question of why humans stand out and become the strongest people under the stars. ”
"Is there something wrong with these people who are gathered together for such a frivolous thing?" asked Polis in astonishment.
Hedda laughed too, "It's not something strange. The curiosity of a human wizard is as insatiable as the stomach of a dragon. Moreover, it was not incomprehensible that they were interested in this issue at that time. To know the answer to it, it is also so that their position can be stable forever. ”
"But in my opinion, this is nothing more than wishful thinking. Polis stretched again, apparently scorning the pursuit of these ancient wizards.
"Then you'd be wrong. In fact, they may have actually found that answer. Hedda said this with a deep sense of wonder on her face, "At least I think they probably did." ”
"What did you say?!"
"I said, they probably did. Hedda smiled bitterly, "It is clearly written in the ancient books of the family that two of them claimed to have received the answer to this question. Their names were Charles Robert and Thomas Henry. And, the ones who got this answer, were the ones who gave it that terrible prophecy......"
"It's just what they claim. Polis retorted.
"But do you know what happened in the year they came up with this answer?" Heddah did not answer, only to see her accentuate her tone, "It's the god of the sun, the god of Helios! Helios is the proudest descendant of the sun god, the second king of the gods, and his divine power is one level higher than that of the noble goddess of the night. Rumor has it that Stolas and Ramon have only inherited half of his power. But these two powerful gods, who were born as a result of his death, one has become the most powerful of the gods, and the other is the king of the demon gods, the most powerful and unshakable existence among the thirty-six abyss demon gods. ”
"You mean, this weird godfall has something to do with it?" asked Polis impatiently.
"It can only be said that it is very likely, after all, the timing is too coincidental. Moreover, the goddess had a divine decree about this, which stated that Helios was incarnating as an adult at that time, in an attempt to influence the Canchus Empire, which was in full swing at that time. Hedda nodded with difficulty, "With Helios' divine power, it stands to reason that humans don't have the ability to kill him. And even if the other gods want him to return to extinction, I am afraid that they will have to suffer huge casualties. But his godfall was so silent that no one knew its answer. This insoluble mystery, combined with that strange prophecy, is really chilling. ”
"I understand what the family means now, and although they don't think that the secrets here will suddenly be revealed at this time, they still can't help but worry. This secret, it's terrible......"
("The reason why mankind became the master" and "The fate of the gods will perish", you might as well guess the answer to these two questions in combination with the plot.) Spoilers aside, they can touch on the most important topic of this article, which is the existence of the literary eye. In fact, it was because of these thoughts that this novel was written. ^_^ )
