Chapter 454: Who Controls Destiny (Part II)

[Fourth Update, 12,000]

Nylith and Wingskull immediately grabbed Saleen's Daedric suit. This demon god suit has armor leaves and spikes sticking out, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the magician. Neris and Wingskull's hands grabbed the two spikes.

Salin held the key in his hand, and before he could make any movement, he felt that his feet were empty, and the person had fallen into the boundless starry sky. With no trace of the Winged Skull and Naris around her, Sara was shocked, and in the blink of an eye, she had entered a huge room.

The starry sky seems to be an illusion.

Salin didn't understand how the astrologer used to get himself up, but the feeling was similar to entering the teleportation array. It seems that no matter how big the difference in skills is, there are some things that are still common.

The layout of this room looks like a study because there are a lot of bookshelves. There are also a huge number of books on the shelves. However, near the window, there was a huge desk with a lot of ore piled on it.

On these ores, the power of the stars is extremely strong. Saleen approached and searched through the ore, but found nothing he knew.

However, under the ore pile, Salin found a ring, the material of the ring is translucent, and the starlight in it looms, as if hundreds of millions of stars are floating. After a slight look at Salin's spiritual power, he could only know that this was a space equipment.

He didn't lack space equipment, but space equipment was valuable after all, so Salin casually wore it on his finger.

Salin didn't immediately look for Neris and the Winged Skull, the power in this astrology building was something he couldn't fight, let alone him, it seemed that the Great Grandmaster didn't dare to go wild here.

He walked to the bookshelf, took down the books on them, and flipped through them, only to find that the words in these books were the same as those he had seen in the Gathering Star Needle, and they were very similar to the Gumels language, and one by one was plausible, and Salin still couldn't read the words on it.

The paper of these books is all star-patterned paper, and Salin only then realized that in ancient times, star-patterned paper was really not a high-end thing. Salin thought about it, and regardless of whether he could understand all this, he would not be able to enter here easily next time, so he simply put the books on the shelves and the ores on the table into the dimensional stone. Salin found that the things inside the dimensional stone could not be discovered even by people of the level of the Grand Master.

Salin did it very thoroughly, even the bookshelves, tables and chairs, all of them had the same amount of income dimensional stones. Unlike the Half-Plane, even if he could still come, Salin couldn't guarantee that he would be sent into this room.

Packing everything in the study, Salin pushed open the door to the study, and outside the door was a larger room. In the room, an old man with white hair looked at Salin with a smile.

Salin's perception didn't notice that there was anyone in this room at all, and suddenly saw the old man appear, and Salin subconsciously lit an orange flame on his fingertips. His flame was formed by the transformation of the elements, and with a flick of his fingers, it flew towards the old man.

The old man stretched out his hand and beckoned, and the orange flame fell into the old man's hands. The old man rubbed the flame in his hand, and the flame spread out, turning into dozens of orange butterflies. The old man raised his hands, and dozens of butterflies formed by the condensation of flames flew up, pierced through the crystal window, and disappeared into the sea outside.

The old man's movements were natural and simple, like a teenager passing through the garden with nothing to do.

Salin took a step back in embarrassment, his hands drooping.

The old man was wearing a white robe, which looked like silk, but it was more delicate and smooth, and the lines on it were the star map that Salin had seen the most recently.

The old man glanced at the ring in Salin's hand, smiled and asked, "Do you like my star ring?"

Saleen was embarrassed, he didn't find that there was anyone in the next room, so he searched wildly, and if the old man went to check next door, he would find that his things were all loaded by Salin. It's not a good feeling to be caught in front of a thief, and besides, Saleen is a magician, not a thief.

"Little one, what kind of expression do you have? Could it be that you have taken everything from the study next door? Magicians are not good at this, they are too greedy, they are plundering everywhere, hey......"

"Looting everywhere?" Salin was puzzled by the old man's words, the magician follows the principle of equal exchange, and will not forcibly rob other people's things even when facing a peasant. When the teacher came to his door, he also wanted to buy his house with gold coins that were higher than the ordinary price.

At that time, the teacher was a fifth-level great magician, and he was a little beggar who begged for food. Therefore, Saleen has always believed that magicians are very fair professionals.

"But it's not just magicians, magicians are also being picked up by others. Those warriors, those royal families, and those alien races, who don't want to conquer many planes. Why conquer? For the sake of profit, of course. The old man sighed.

Only then did Salin understand that the old man was talking about the events of the past. Speaking of which, the gods are greedy, and humans are not very good. With the conquest of the gods, the human army has also leveled many planes, and I don't know how many races have perished because of it.

The magicians of that era were probably indeed raiding everywhere. The fairness of a magician is in the transaction with humans. At least the magician kills the monster to obtain the magic core, and he has never adhered to the principle of equivalent exchange.

Could it be that a magician would discuss with the monsters: Give me your magic core? I still need a skin of yours that can be sold for 400 gold coins, and if you agree, I will build you a grave......

"Don't be embarrassed, little mage, in fact, I am the same. This kind of thing can only be understood after death, and it is meaningless. By the way, I'm not a living person, just a puppet with a soul. ”

The old man said with a smile, and Salin realized that although the old man had breathing and heartbeat, what flowed under his skin was not blood, but the power of the stars. If the old man didn't mention it, Salin would have thought that this was a human being who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

"Old gentleman......"

"Little mage, you don't need to know my name. I refined myself into a *puppet to survive this catastrophe, and I really didn't have the face to meet my companion back then, my name, and I never wanted to be known. ”

"What about your companions?"

"Most of them died, you have been to the Immortal Cemetery, they all sleep there, some have gone to other planes and are still fighting the gods, and some have gone to find a higher plane and find a way to live. ”

"What happened!" Salin couldn't deduce the details from the words of the old men and the spirits, but he could tell that humanity had not exterminated the gods, nor had it become a being who ruled over the planes. The humans on the continent of Myers have even been cut off from their previous knowledge.

"Back then...... Back then, the human powerhouses had gone too far and could no longer return to the main plane. They opened the passage to a higher level of the world, and the gods, regained the plane conquered by humanity. For this reason, humanity has considered establishing large dynasties and concentrating on fighting the gods. ”

"The result?"

As a result, many races in the plane were slaughtered by the gods because of the departure of the human powerhouse, and thus resentment. They were faithful, but when they faced annihilation, humans could no longer help them. Except for a few powerful races that still stand with humans, most of the remaining races have chosen to rebel and become believers in the gods. ”

"This!is it before the First Dynasty?" Salin immediately heard from the old man's words a different history than he knew.

"The First Dynasty?"

"A dynasty that unified the continent lasted for maybe 10,000 to 20,000 years, and it is said that the first dynasty fought with the gods and occupied a lot of planes, but now the human race can no longer know the facts of that year. ”

"That's what happened later, it turns out that they unified the continent and established a dynasty?" the old man frowned, the pores on his face were clearly recognizable, and there was no difference between them and living people. Salin thought to himself, I don't know how many levels such a puppet is. If you can become your own combat weapon......

The old man was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Little mage, do you want to take your fate into your own hands?"

"You're an astrologer, I'm a magician. Saleen didn't answer directly.

"Magicians are so arrogant that they think they can control their destiny, but they don't know that power alone is not enough. What's more, astrologers already know what the supreme rule is, and if you learn astrology, you can not only become a master of your own destiny, but also a unique powerhouse in this world. ”

"Supreme rules?" Salin smiled, as a magician, he was dismissive of everything that was called supreme. For magicians, the secrets of the world will never be completely mastered, and there will never be an end to knowledge. Salin thinks that the old man is completely wrong to say that the magician is arrogant.

"At least for all the planes of this world, it's the supreme rule, the rule of the twenty-four levels. The old man didn't care about Salin's expression, anyway, in their time, few people believed in such a thing.

"What do I need to give?" Salin couldn't help but ask, the rule of level twenty-four, at least in the knowledge system he knew, was indeed the supreme rule.

"Give up magic and be called a pure astrologer. ”

"Never. Salin flatly refused.

"Little mage, the power of magic, and astrology are not much different. ”

"There is a difference, when I was about to starve to death, it was the teacher who helped me, and even if I died, I would not give up my identity as a mage. I'm so sorry, but I do feel like I'm in control of my own destiny, and my destiny is magic. ”

"Without supreme power, how can you control your own destiny?"

"According to what you said, in the end, only one person can control his own destiny, and the others are all ants, right?"

The old man was dumbfounded, Salin's problem only existed in theory, but he couldn't refute it at all. Because once it refutes, it is equivalent to saying that you can control your own destiny without mastering the supreme rules.

"Sir, I may want to learn the power of astrology, but I will always be a magician. Salin took off the ring of the stars from his hand, placed it on the floor, and stood with his hands down. His meaning was obvious, if the old man forced him to give up his status as a magician, then everything would be left to rest.
