Lilith and the two tell Charlotte about their experiences in the past fourteen years since she "fell asleep......

Fourteen years ago.

Not long after Charlotte said goodbye, the envoys of the Land of Towers returned to the Northern Mountain Tribe.

And this time, their purpose is to investigate the identity of the suspected defector of the "Grace of the Apocalypse" who appeared in the Beishan tribe.

Since Charlotte, who is the "Heir of the Apocalypse", has left, the messengers of the Central Tower have not tracked down her whereabouts, and the "Apocalypse" who led the team believes that the Havedan family is shielding the defectors, and subjectes the Havedan couple to harsh interrogation.

When Lilith and Harald, who had secretly gone out to track down Charlotte's whereabouts, returned to the tribe in despair, what they saw was the image of the Heir of the Apocalypse tying their parents to the torture rack and torture them.

After killing the messenger, the priests and elders of the Beishan tribe secretly arranged for the Hafdan family to escape, however, they were unsuccessful, and after fleeing for three days and three nights, they were finally captured by the elves.

Lilith and Harald don't remember the memories of the rest very well.

They only remember that their parents were killed by the elves, and the Beishan tribe was also destroyed by the elves, and they themselves were taken to a mysterious magic laboratory, where they were used as experimental subjects for various physical experiments every day.

It was a painful experience, and they were injected with all kinds of strange liquids by the elves every day, or used as test subjects to try all kinds of mysterious spells and sacrifices.

Until one day, when the two were conducting a large-scale sacrificial experiment, an unfamiliar voice sounded in the ears of the two.

The voice was indistinguishable, and he wanted to sign a pact with the two of them, and the content of the contract was to sacrifice everything he had, and gain a powerful power capable of revenge against the elves.

Desperate, the two did not refuse, but agreed on the spot.

When the sacrifice was over, Lilith and Harald were almost immediately empowered by immense power.

They killed all the elves around them and destroyed the elven tower where they were experimenting with magic, but at the same time, their minds began to fall into madness.

And just when the two were about to lose their "self", the dazzling brilliance suddenly bloomed in their minds.

They can't remember exactly what happened.

All they remember was that they had entered a warm embrace, and they heard the murmurs and soft reassurances.

And when they came to their senses again, they had regained their senses, and the power they had gained by signing the contract had disappeared.

At the same time, their minds were filled with a great deal of knowledge about supernatural powers, which were self-contained and perfectly matched with what Charlotte had already taught them.

Not only that, but although the contract with the mysterious being has been erased and the great power they have gained has disappeared, each of them has unique abilities.

Among them, Harald gained the power to ignore divine magic, the divine magic of the elven priests had little effect on him, and the artifacts that mortals could not control, he could control with the body of mortals.

Lilith gains the power of Devouring Mana, which allows her to absorb the magic of other transcendents and give it to others.

What happened after that is a well-known legend in Northern Xinjiang.

Although Lilith and Harald lost the powers they gained through their pact with a mysterious being, they were able to regrow almost quickly and form a rebellion against the Tower Nation thanks to their special abilities.

They passed on the knowledge they had gained to others, and when necessary, Lilith would even directly grant magic to the other party, and the resistance group that the two of them had set up grew rapidly and its power grew rapidly.

In less than five years, the rebel group had grown into a behemoth, successfully overthrowing the Tower Nation under the leadership of Lilith and Harald.

At the same time, the ancient myths of Miria, who had been fighting against the elves for a long time, finally set their sights on Lilith and them.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

In this era when myths rule the world, the power of mortals has a limit after all, and a force without gods is destined to be an unguarded prey in the eyes of the gods.

Although Harald's ability can ignore the divine magic of the priesthood, he is still helpless against the greater power of the gods.

Wooing, infiltrating, coercing, inducing......

Many of the gods have tried to spread their influence into the forces led by Lilith and Harald in various ways, assimilating the rebels into their own followers.

Soon, the rebels' organization fell apart under the suppression and infiltration of the gods, and split into dozens of churches, large and small.

As for Lilith and Harald, they took the remnants of their core power and established a free city-state ruled by mortals.

After the establishment of the free city-state, there were still more than one god who tried to woo Lilith and Harald, wanting to incorporate the free city-state into their sphere of influence and assimilate it into their own faith.

But the two refused.

Because Lilith and Harald don't have a crush on the gods.

Although the old gods of Miria were powerful, they were not interested in the ignorant mortals on the continent until the elves set foot on the continent.

They really became interested in mortals after the elven gods also came to Miria, and they discovered the benefits of preaching from the elven gods.

In Lilith and Harald's view, the attraction of these old gods to mortals was not to protect sentient beings from the beginning, but to learn from the elven gods to use faith to make mortals their own source of power, and to use mortals as cannon fodder for themselves to compete with elves!

However, the centripetal force of faith is too strong.

Without a target for faith, without a faith that could unite people's hearts, Lilith and Harald would not be able to stop the gods from infiltrating the Order.

Thereupon...... Lilith and Harald came up with a solution.

That is, simply take the initiative to build a god on your own side and occupy the position of people's faith in advance!

"So...... You have also made a 'Savior' who is a god and a knowledge? ”

Charlotte asked.

"Yes, teacher, many of the old gods preached their faith by the grace of God. That being the case, we should follow from them and create a god for ourselves to fill the gap in our faith. ”

"That's not wrong, after all...... When we were locked up in the elves' magical towers, we did receive the attention of two beings who seemed to be gods. ”

"The former made a deal with us, and we gained great power, and although it almost drove us into madness in the end, it also gave us freedom and magical power."

"As for the latter...... Saved us when we fell into madness and taught us a lot like you did. ”

"After that, we never felt their presence again, so...... What they are, whether they are gods or not, in fact, we still don't know. ”

"However, although we don't know, we were inspired by the idea of fictionalizing the gods...... This is to create a 'Savior' who will save us and impart knowledge to us. ”

"We possess extraordinary knowledge that can replace the gifts of the gods, and the two of us also have special abilities, and together we can also stand up to the various orders."

"So...... We succeeded in building our own beliefs. ”

"Of course, because the Savior itself is fictional, even though we have artificially created a faith, we still do not have the gift of God like other churches."

"That's why we've been labeled hypocrites by other churches."

"But...... It's a coincidence, you have also imparted extraordinary knowledge to us, and you are our enlightenment mentor, which is not a secret to some of the survivors of the Beishan tribe. ”

"In order to refute the belief of the Free City-States that the Savior does not exist, we have combined your story with the Savior, describing you as the Savior who came to save us......"

"That's why after knowing that you are the heir of the Apocalypse who appeared in the Beishan tribe fourteen years ago, and that you are respected by us as a teacher, everyone regards you as a 'savior'......"

Lilith said with some embarrassment.

Charlotte: ......

She understood that the daring was her own passion, and the "savior" of the free city-state turned out to be fictional!

Come to think of it, the transcendent knowledge she imparted to the two of them at the beginning was just a meditation method suitable for the two of them, but Charlotte had talked to Legion Commander Bardock that the transcendent knowledge imparted by the "Savior" was quite rich.

At that time, Charlotte was still a little confused, after all, she really didn't teach that much at the beginning, and now it seems that ...... It wasn't her at all!

The so-called "Savior" was fictional from the beginning, and the profound knowledge of the two did not come from her.

This made Charlotte a little curious and confused.

Although the "Savior" is fictional, the mysterious existence that "bestows" the two men with strength and knowledge is real.

Whether it's signing a contract or imparting knowledge, Charlotte's eyes are indeed very god-like.

And if it's a god, who will it be?

In addition, there is the emblem of the "Savior".

One of the reasons why Charlotte thinks the Savior is herself is that the Savior's emblem is too similar to her own emblem.

But Charlotte herself was pretty sure she hadn't told the two about her emblem.

"Lilith, I heard that you drew the 'Savior' emblem?"

Charlotte asked.

"Yes, teacher, I designed it."

"Design ...... Target? ”

Charlotte was stunned.

Lilith nodded embarrassedly:

"Yes, I designed it, and when we were going to build a god, I was naturally inspired by this symbol."

"Speaking of which, this symbol was inspired by my past dreams, but ...... I felt that my inspiration was not complete, and it may be that the memory of the dream was blurred. ”

"This emblem seems to be missing something compared to the one I really want to draw, but I can't tell what makes it feel unfulfilling......

"However, I am still in the process of perfecting, as long as I am given time, I will eventually draw the perfect emblem in my dream!"

Charlotte: ......

After a moment of silence, she gently reached out and outlined her own Thorn Rose with her magic:

"Is this the holy emblem you saw in your dream?"

Seeing Charlotte's emblem, Lilith was stunned, and then said in amazement:

"This is it!"

Charlotte had a look on her face, and then her magic dissipated.

"Teacher! How do you know what's in my mind? The emblem you depicted is exactly the same as what I dreamed of in my dreams! ”

Lilith asked, surprised.

Charlotte didn't know how to answer.

However, after thinking for a while, she decided to answer honestly:

"This is my emblem."

You can't hide it.

The emblem is unique.

When Lilith really completes the emblem, the direction is probably her.

"Your ...... Emblem? ”

Lilith and Harald froze.

They looked at each other, and after hesitation, they couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher, say that...... You...... Are you really a god?! ”

Charlotte thought for a moment and said:

"In a sense, sort of."

Lilith and Harald were silent again.

They looked at each other, made eye contact, and after a moment, nodded slightly together as if they had made some kind of decision.

Then, I saw the two of them come to Charlotte, with respectful expressions and earnestness:

"Teacher...... We have a request ......"

"Huh?"

Charlotte's eyes motioned for the two to continue.

The two took a deep breath and asked in unison:

"You...... Can we be our true 'Savior'? ”

Not tonight
