"Look away, old man, after all, you are already the strongest person on the continent at the moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Elivan couldn't think of anything to comfort Rodnall, he could deduce from the old man's words just now that the current Rodnor must have stood at the peak of the Arcanist, but he was suffering from the change of the rules of heaven and earth, and there was no way to climb to the higher peaks, but looking at the old man's painful appearance, he still tried to comfort him, but it provoked the old man's merciless ridicule,

"The strongest?haha, you little doll still has too little knowledge. ”

Rodnar sneered, "Although the entire mage world has gone astray now, there are still a few guys who have inherited the ancient inheritance who can fight me head-on, after all, there will be a few smart people among the fools in the whole world, such as the "Three Musketeers of Sorcery" in the Tower of Star and Moon From the beginning of the cultivation of the orthodox magic system from the Second Age, they have never borrowed even a trace of the power of the stars, as well as the first batch of the first batch of the White Stone Society of the Third Age to relearn the old immortals of elemental magic, they inherited the most orthodox magic system, as well as several legends of the Elven Court and the Orc Tribe, all of which follow the knowledge inherited from the Second Age, and will never be contaminated with a trace of astral power, such as the "Moon Blade" that makes the old man and me a little frightened , Even if that guy is placed in the Second Age, he can be regarded as an amazing genius, and the hidden families inherited in some horns are also aware of the taboo about the stars, including your old enemy, the Great Elder of the Council of Destruction, the former Lord of the Shadow Tower of the Council of the Nine Towers, Saruman, who is also the inheritor of the ancient lineage, one of the strongest arcanists. ”

Looking at Elevan's shocked eyes, Rodnall added with a grin, " He and his old friend, who is also his senior brother, the Supreme Gregory was very lucky to get the fourth magic emperor of the Second Age, the Shadow Witch King-Harris Portman, in a desert trip when he was young, two inheritances, in terms of legitimacy, but not much worse than me, the descendant of the Ninth Magic Emperor, in fact, after Gregory's death, the entire Nine Towers Council was the face that he alone held up in the mage world, otherwise with the so-called "silver lightning" Pitts's kind of cargo, which relies on a naturally good astrology to make it to the Arcanist, I can beat him five by myself, without much effort. ”

"Saruman... Is it really that strong?"

Eleven looked at Rodnal with disbelief, and the latter looked at the sudden change on his face with interest, and then nodded solemnly,

"The army of the Shadow Realm that the Shadow Witch King evoked alone back then was enough to completely destroy a small and medium-sized plane, although the inheritance obtained by Saruman was not complete, but it is definitely not something that a small character like you can ignore, and I also suspect that this guy and his senior brother have obtained some secrets about the gods from the inheritance of the Fourth Magic Emperor, otherwise they would not have spent decades of effort to find the ethereal Ring of the Gods, so give you a piece of advice, little guy, before you enter the Arcanist with your own strength, don't take the initiative to find trouble with Saruman, that guy is far beyond your imagination whether it is the city or the strength。 ”

Hearing this, Elivan lowered his head with a slightly bitter face, although the will for revenge in his heart was still as unswerving as before, but in the face of Saruman, who was almost as powerful as Rodnar, as well as the distant Arcanist rank, as well as the legendary powerhouses of the orc tribes who also walked the path of ancient orthodoxy gathered around Saruman, did he really have a chance to avenge Saas and Pol in this life? The promise to Wendy, the responsibility to the old K-group, all this coiled in his heart, and made Elevenn extremely annoyed.

He suddenly felt that he was so tired, this road of revenge with no future in sight was really tiring!

"There is a saying in the Second Age that is taken true by all the mages. ”

Rodnal's fluttering voice reached the ears of the depressed Eleven, causing the young man to raise his head involuntarily, only to see the old man's smiling eyes as clear as the sky after the rain,

"It was the first Emperor of Magic, known as 'the man who was closest to the truth', a phrase uttered by the King of the High Mage, Sbreth, when he was a teenager when he begged a wandering mage to take him as a disciple, and I think I should give him to you at this time. ”

"What?"

In his most desperate moments, Sbreth knelt down in front of the wandering mage, and said with tears on his face, "I want a mage, even the most lame and stupid mage, as long as it is a mage!" This sentence has always inspired him, allowing him to go all the way on the path of cultivation after that, and finally reach a position comparable to the sixteen true gods, in the second age, the first truth that the mage apprentices learned from their mentor is this sentence, Eliven Mogedding, a young man who is addicted to hatred and cannot extricate himself, I hope you can understand this truth. ”

Rodnall stood up, walked up to Elivan, and said word by word,

"You, you didn't become a mage for revenge, revenge is just a very inconspicuous little station on your lofty mage path, you have to learn to look forward, you have to learn to look into the distance, you can't surpass your enemy in terms of mood, how can you achieve detachment in strength? We are not fools who pursue power, we only yearn for the truth, we pursue the truth, this is the only and most important reason why the mage is above all beings, you are a very good, very good young mage, but you still have not grasped the true meaning of communicating with the elements, do you love the profession of mage? do you cherish the identity of a mage? are you willing to give up everything and walk in the landscape that belongs to you alone?"

The old man turned around, stretched out his hand and stroked the ivory tombstone in front of him, his face was full of tenderness,

"Hiding hatred in the deepest corners of your heart, giving your heart to the elements, to the path of the mage, and becoming a true seeker of truth, may not be understood by you now, but I believe that if you keep chasing it so stubbornly, if one day Saruman falls in front of you, the endless emptiness will consume you in an instant, which is a more tragic thing than the hopelessness of revenge. ”

With his back to Eleven, Rodnar's voice became softer, like a sincere teaching to an old friend, and like an ear to a junior, in short, if Elevan and Rodnar first met, the relationship between the two was only the assignor and receiver of the task, then now, Rodnar has regarded this young man who is calm enough and good enough as his junior.

And from the tone and context of Rodnal, it can also be analyzed that this old man is obviously also a person with a story, so the words he said are not necessarily simply to persuade Eleven, maybe they are his own mistakes.

"I'm sorry, I can't do it! The suffering of the Mogedin family can be memorialized with Saruman's blood or comforted by my own blood, there is no third way!"

Elivan lowered his head and replied in a hoarse voice, only to receive a cold sigh from Rodinall,

"I'm sorry, hehe, why are you apologizing to me? This is the path you choose, whether it's bitter or sweet, you have to taste it yourself, not to mention that you're just a teenager, you still have enough time to turn back, so if you want to say sorry, then just save it until you're dying, and say to yourself." ”

The old man turned his head to look at Elivan, shrugged his neck, and motioned for him to follow, while the young man collected his mood a little, and strode after Rodinall, into the rows of almost identical cemeteries,

"Continue with the topic just now, you asked a question about the magic net, this question is very good, then let me tell you, the current goddess of the magic net is only one of the several supreme beings of the Auman people at the end of the Second Age, and is not even the strongest one, so do you think my ancestors will choose the rules of the magic net she formulated? For your sake, I will give you a final message, the farther away from the magic net, the better! Never touch it, the so-called "absolute neutrality" hidden in Huanghuang Behind the name of the goddess of the magic web, the hidden truth is a terrible conspiracy that you are far from being able to bear now. ”

Rodnal sighed and said something about the magic net, and then without waiting for Eliven to ask, he continued to talk about other things, obviously, he didn't want to say too much on this issue,

"After thousands of years of accumulation, the astrologers of the second dynasty finally succeeded in finding the positioning method of the plane, and then the second dynasty that could no longer find an opponent in the main world of the El began to explore the plane that lasted for 20,000 years, and even in the end, they did not hesitate to destroy an entire plane, just for the sake of that precious world core. ”

As he spoke, the old man turned his head and glanced at Elivan, and asked in a solemn tone,

"Can you imagine the end result of this madness?"

"War?"

Elivan replied tentatively, and then saw Rodnar shake his head,

"It's not just wars, the strength of the Second Dynasty is beyond your imagination now, even if dozens of planes are united, there is no hope of victory under the crushing of the Imperial Knights, but the victory after victory has intensified the confidence of the royal family and the people, they have become arrogant, and even at the end of the Second Age, the most powerful group of them have already called themselves "Congshen"! It means "gods under gods" who follow the "sixteen true gods", but are only a little weaker than the true gods. ”

"Hey..."

The old man leaned down, crouched down in front of a tombstone that looked no different, and motioned to Elevenn to look at the handwriting on the tombstone, which was unsurprisingly an Auman from the Second Age, but Elivan, who possessed the great weapon of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, could also get a glimpse of the true meaning from the translation of Agate.

"Here rests Heman Morse, the son of storms and thunder, a follower of the mighty true god "Thunder Warsong and the God of Endless Vengeance", who was a god under the gods during his lifetime, and who will add glory to the true gods after his death, may he set out again in the land of endless thunder to discover the truth, and those who desecrate the tomb of the gods will be punished by thunder and lightning!"

The old man did not expect that at such a young age, Elivan would be so familiar with the Auman language, which had been lost for three thousand years, but even if he had heard the old man's words before, he couldn't help but be terrified when he really saw the epitaph full of confidence and pride in this line.

Although he himself was the most hated unbeliever of the gods in the Third Age, he did not dare to write generously on his epitaph, "I am a subordinate god who is only a little weaker than the gods, you scum come and worship me!"

"When a man has an ambition that he should not have and acts on it, he is not far from destruction, and the same is true of a race. ”

Rodnal stood up and looked at the gloomy sky, with a hint of gloom and sadness in his tone, " Although the plundering journey of the plane also suffered from such powerful enemies from the insect world, and even sacrificed several great magic emperors for similar events, but in the end, even the Second Dynasty itself could no longer control the bitter fruits of plane exploration, and once those bold guys attracted enemies they could not fight, they would flee back to the El Continent like rabbits, leaving the trouble they had caused to the Second Dynasty and the Sixteen True Gods to deal with, until a long-planned conspiracy broke out. ”

"My grandfather Conn Marfas was a first-hand witness of that conspiracy, and in the notes he left, he completely recorded that catastrophe, it was an ordinary morning, the capital of the Second Dynasty, Sword Lily Bay, ushered in a new day of sunrise, and the civilians also began their lives for a day, everything was as calm as usual, and then they heard a loud bang, and the sky of the entire El continent was torn apart!"

The old man spoke excitedly about the past history left to him by the last magic emperor, and Elivan tried desperately to restore the picture of history according to Rodnar's narration.

"A big hole was torn open in the sky, endless darkness and blood rain fell from the sky, and the last round of the rising sun was torn apart by the first demon lord who walked into this land, so the demons laughed wildly, and countless demon armies covered the sky and the sun, and the protective formation that could defend against legendary magic attacks was almost broken at the touch of a button, and in just a few minutes, the most glorious city of glory in the El continent, Sword Lily Bay, became a ruin, and countless people died, and even the most orthodox Auman royal family was silent under the attack of the necromancers of the endless sea of corpses. ”

This abnormal situation naturally attracted the attention of the sixteen true gods who were observing this world at all times, and they didn't even have time to descend their incarnations, so they could only drive the sixteen bodies of gods made from the bodies of the strongest people of Kirundel who had long disappeared in history, and led the loyal gods from the gods and the demon kings and necromantic emperors who came across the realm to start an earth-shattering death battle, the battle lasted for three days and three nights, and the demons and necromancers from afar were no match for the incarnation of the world's will backed by the entire El world, but at the moment when the plane passage in the sky was sealed, Originally, the sixteen true gods killed the enemy in blood, and the loyal gods, they all sneered and stabbed the weapons in their hands into the bodies of the true gods who were exhausted and completely defenseless because of the long battle, and what was even more terrifying was that the plane passage that had just been sealed was opened by the renegade gods again, and the demon army and the death emperor who had been waiting on the other side also roared and joined the battle. ”

"Betrayal! Betrayal of the true God?"

Eleven's eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked in an excited tone, "Why? Why did they do that?"

"Why?

Rodnar sneered and answered Elivan's question,

"Just like no one wants to be someone else's subordinate for the rest of their lives, the gods also want to be one step closer, they have long been eager for the authority of the true god, only when they get the priesthood and the core of the true god controlled by the true god, that is, the control of the world will stored in the body of the sixteen true gods, they can truly get rid of the mortals they have always despised, and become the omnipotent gods they want!"

"And then?"

Elevenn wasn't happy with this explanation, in his opinion, no one who could become a god would risk a lifeless adventure for the sake of fame, there must be other reasons for this, but now was not the time to say this, his instincts told him that this shameful rebellion must have something to do with the end of the Second Age and the beginning of the Third Age.

"Later? Later, the sixteen true gods were defeated one by one under the attack between the gods and the demons, but after being crushed by the god body of the Kirundel people, the sixteen true gods who have been showing people with their bodies can be regarded as revealing their true faces, the embodiment of the will of the world, and the sixteen figures who shrouded their whole bodies in a darkness or a thunderstorm, at this time these arrogant gods knew their shallowness and the final end, but the angry gods never gave them a chance to repent, at the cost of returning to the world, the fifteen true gods detonated their human form one after another, and used the most original power of each world to destroy those from the gods and demons one by one, and then did their best to smooth down the damage to the continent caused by this great war, and finally permanently closed the door of the space that led to the endless abyss, but they were no longer able to fight, so they could only cut off the remaining demon lords and a quarter of the continent that had been turned into ruins in the battle, and sealed them in another plane located at the same latitude as the main plane, that is, the current lower realm, the sixteen true gods were maintaining the existence of the El continent until the end, and they left a last witness and balancer, he called...”

"The god of endless darkness and eternal silence, also known as darkness, is called Sylvaradin by birth"

Elevenn picked up Rodinall's words, winked at him again, and whispered, "I've seen him! He also talked to me in a dream where Blackmane blessed me with the Seed of Darkness, and he said that he was a true god, and I didn't believe it yet..."

Before Elivan finished his words, he saw Rodnar's strange eyes fall on him, and after looking at it for a few minutes, he showed a hint of relief,

"You smell of the Ring of the Gods, probably because the darkness mistook you for a descendant of the Knights of the Sword. ”

"Knight of the Sword, Silva also said that name, what does it refer to?"

Elivan asked, confused.

"I'll get to that later, so you'd better be patient!"

Rodinor frowned, reprimanded Eleven, then thought about it again and continued,

"Although the Sixteen True Gods have completely eliminated the group of careerists who pose the greatest threat to the El World in the Second Age, as I said before, the damage to the El Continent is too great for the melee of their level, it can be said that except for the most distant frontier barbarian kingdom and elven and orc kingdoms, the beautiful world that the Uman people spent 50,000 years to build was almost completely destroyed in this great war and the final outbreak of the origin of the world, the kingdoms turned into flames, and the people did not survive, in fact, at that time, the dynasty of the Uman people had been destroyed”

Rodnar closed his eyes in pain, his whole body trembling, and it was not until a few minutes later that he recovered, but he still closed his eyes and continued in a hoarse voice,

"The destruction of the origin of the world is not as recoverable as other things, this thing is the most important part of growing with the world, and the absence of it means that the world is about to go into exhaustion, so the remaining ones who did not participate in the rebellion from the gods and the supreme ones who escaped this near-extinction, and the "golden people" who came out of the almost boundless dream mountains at a critical moment to help the fallen allies In the next thousands of years, under the leadership of my grandfather, the last magic emperor Conn Marphas, the most powerful force group after the "War of the Gods" almost went crazy to destroy other planes, in order to extract that trace of the world's origin power from other planes to repair the damage of the El Continent. ”

"Isn't this a continuation of the previous style? and it looks even worse!"

Elivan couldn't help but interject, but instead of being reprimanded by Rodinall, the old man smiled coldly,

"It's different, if the previous destruction and plunder were for selfish desires, then the current destruction is for salvation, fortunately, with the efforts of these heroes who have adventured again and again for the El Continent, after about three thousand years of annihilation, the missing world origin of the El Continent has finally been replenished, in order to celebrate the rebirth of the world from the vortex of destruction, the remaining gods and the Most High, under the auspices of the Magic Emperor Conn, who has been in a physical condition that has almost run out of oil due to the long-term tearing of space, has reached a secret agreement that even my father does not know, in short, since then, the whole world has transitioned from the Second Age to the Third Age, and the El Continent was also divided into three by a great force in the early morning of the beginning of the Third Age, which is the current East and West Continents, and the last piece that disappeared, I personally estimate that the largest piece that disappeared is the current Divine Realm. ”

"What about the Divine and the Most High, and why has there never been any such thing in history for the three thousand years of the Third Age?"

"They're there!"

Rodnar raised his head and pointed to the gloomy sky, but Eliven knew what the old man meant, and at this moment, his heart seemed to have been hit by a giant bell, and he sat on the ground in a daze, and stammered,

"Those who are from God... They... It's now... Gods?"

"Not exactly. ”

Rodnar pointed to the tombstone beside him, "In order to make up for the harm done to this world by their compatriots, a small number of Gods gave up their qualifications to ascend to the Divine Realm, and were determined to use their strength and lives to guard this land that had recovered from the catastrophe of annihilation, but in the end, due to the rapid change of the weather rules of the Third Age, they lost their strength and died of old age on this land that they had worked hard to save In addition to the gods who ascended to the divine realm, the gods who remained on the earth all got one from the mysterious agreement venue as the symbol of the knights who folded the sword, and the "new gods" who appeared after the Third Age were selected by the original supreme ones from the mortal warriors in various ways, but because of the dirty blood of the ancestors flowing in their bodies, they became "gods" , there is no way to completely abandon the various desires in the heart, so you can also see that what was supposed to be a new Third Age was tossed like this. ”

After speaking, the old man glanced at Elivan, who was prophesying, and waved his hand, "I know what you want to ask, you have a trace of divine power on you, probably because you have been in contact with a certain "god" before, right? (To be continued.) )
