After the siege of the mushroom lone people before, and the attack of an entire demon elf team, Aaron no longer dared to act rashly, he tried to find a foothold near the city.

In the mist, he soon found that the former glory of Misdrano made it a large number of buildings even around the city, and Aaron chose a low building, and he kicked open the pile of stones blocking the door of his house, and suddenly scarlet light and terrible screams erupted.

There are undead banshees in the room, and there is more than one!

The howls of the two undead banshees sucked Aaron in, and the room was as cold as if it were soaked in ice, the floor buzzed within the scream, and after the faint cries of the desperate dead, the necromancers appeared in hazy glowing forms, their bodies wrapped in fluttering delicate rags, their faces wrapped in loose hair, and they pounced on Aaron with endless hatred for the living.

The messy hair on the faces of the banshees spread out, and they stretched out their hands to Aaron, wanting to drag this equally beautiful human into the abyss, full of jealousy and hatred, wanting Aaron to become the same undead, the same curse.

Corrupt Touch!

Faces of Fear!

Cry!

Aaron didn't react much, he just made a move after recalling the information about the banshee in the Yin Erminster Illustrated Book in his mind.

The environment in the room began to change, the shape of the walls, floor, and ceiling changed for it, and the entire dimension writhed in front of the banshees, and Aaron was standing there, but the banshees could no longer reach him.

Then, mirrors appeared out of thin air, and in the center, from a pool of dark abysses was now spewing black flames, from which the smell of burnt flesh and spices continued to emerge.

The power of Slaanesh is everywhere.

The foundations of the banshees' existence were rapidly disintegrated, they lost all their emotions, hatred, fear, and rage gradually ceased, and with it the curse that bound these creatures disintegrated, and these painful souls were finally liberated.

The little building is finally safe.

Aaron inspected the house and released the stone wall technique to block the entrance, after a long and hundreds of years, similar buildings around the city of Mystrono have been swept away by a large number of adventuring parties, and it is impossible to leave anything of value behind, the only thing that can still feel the former glory is a few elven words on the walls, and the beautiful architectural structure.

Also, the elven water conservancy facilities overlooking from the window, the huge pump structure, the wide canals and power units that can only be seen in a small part make Aaron feel a deep sense of sadness.

Will such a glorious and glorious civilization finally come to an end?

The fog seemed to be thicker, and it was still drizzling in the distance, and Aaron looked down from the second floor of the house.

The Mystery Lock, the brightest jewel in the crown of elven high magic, symbolizes the top that magic can currently reach.

What is Lost Lock?

The Lost Lock is a powerful enchantment with a vast reach, with a simple consciousness of its own, and is usually given the task of guarding elven cities or sacred places by its creators - they can live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Designed to protect and expel certain creatures within its radius, the Locks work by infusing enchantments with a barrage of spells, but each has unique abilities that can't be described directly by sorceries.

Broadly speaking, it can be understood as a kind of self-consciousness that can be artificially set and released to a certain area.

My field, my way.

For example, there are two effects mentioned in the Mystery of Strnor, the first is to make the climate always warm as spring, and the second is to exclude the existence of all evil factions near the city.

The second effect alone has stopped thousands of troops for the city more than once, and until the Lost Lock is corrupted, the dark army that destroyed the Lost Stror was unable to get close to the city.

Yes, the army of darkness.

The glory of Mistrono began with the crown king Inntaglin and ended with Jartagrin.

In the year 661 of the valley calendar, the 400th year of the establishment of the Mistronor, after 400 years of prosperity, on the midsummer night of this year, the crowned king Intargrin and dawn ascended to the top of the tower of domination, at this time he was more than 1200 years old, far beyond the normal lifespan of the elves (most elves live 750-900 years old), the crowned king according to the tradition and the people of the Mistrono to welcome the first rays of morning after the summer night, when the dawn was coming, Intargreen sang the ancient elven song, In the eyes of all the people, the body automatically disintegrated into a light spirit, and the door of Avatar opened in front of him.

In the rose-colored morning light, the soul of the sixth crown king, Yinerta, returned to Afando.

His departure deprived Mistron of a powerful leader, and also set the careerists in motion, as his niece, Aravi, who had been tacitly appointed as the next crown, was assassinated and killed after a brief regency, and the Sun Elf nobles were forced to restart the "Election Ceremony", only to have the Sword of the Crown, the symbol of the crown, refuse to let any of the Sun Elf nobles pass the test.

Dozens of Sun Elf nobles died at the sword of the crown.

At the same time, the moon elves, wood elves, humans, and dwarves also began to try to compete for the crown position, and the situation gradually spiraled out of control, bloodshed appeared in the streets, and the humans and dwarves realized that the elves who used to call them "friends" refused to participate in the king-electing ceremony, and one conflict after another destroyed the trust and friendship between each other.

Eventually, humans and dwarves ascended the Tower of Domination, and an elf unleashed powerful magic that brought the Tower of Dominion to its ground, symbolizing the shattering of the city's long-standing concept of "One World, One Dream".

Although Lady Slincy eventually won the approval of the Sword of the Crown, she refused to become the crown king and left with the Sword of the Crown.

After the disappearance of the crown, the remaining nobles established the "Council of Twelve", although they were all recognized as virtuous sages, but without the suppression of the crown, the political struggle for power and profit was staged every day, the council gradually became a tool for the major factions to seize profits, the friendship between the various ethnic groups no longer existed, and the disappointed people left one after another.

Mistrono went into decline.

"The country's diverse civilizations once burst out with the most brilliant light here, but now, when I look here, I can no longer see any light." Aaron shook his head in disappointment.

However, as if he was about to hit him in the face repeatedly, Aaron's words had just fallen, and a golden light appeared from the top of the ruins of the city in the distance.

"That's?!"

"That's a ray of hope."

The golden-armored giant, who was more than three meters tall, stepped out of the mist, wearing only a golden laurel wreath, revealing his noble countenance, and the healthy wheat-colored skin of the ancient Asians of Asia Minor, with all the wonders and light on their faces staring at Aaron.

"The Emperor." Aaron said to the visitor, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"I'm glad you've been able to hold on until now, pull." The Lord of Humanity walked slowly behind Aaron, and there was a sense of relief in the Emperor's full, cold, magnetic voice: "Even if the glory of the past has been lost, even if this city has witnessed the bankruptcy of another great dream, there is still hope." ”

"Mistron, is a great experiment, the beauty of the birth here that many people will never forget, which gives them hope that the city has become a symbol that continues to give mortals illusions."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused slightly, and he took a breath: "It's like, the golden age of mankind, it's reverie. ”

"A simple symbol?" Aaron asked, "Civilization? Or is it culture? ”

"Both." The Lord of Humanity stared into the distance: "I used to think that diversity was a way out, but I ended up discarding that idea, pull, I hope you can understand that the success of the ancient race does not mean the failure of our race,"

Rarely, the emperor's face showed a mocking look, and he said contemptuously: "Look at these foreign civilizations, the crown king has worked hard to maintain his dream for nearly a thousand years, and the final outcome is still collapsed, and the trust that has been built up with an unknown amount of effort is shattered only in an instant, and the grand plan to unite the various races is shattered, isn't it just a little poetic?" Pull? ”

"Perhaps, but at least they have been brilliant, they have at least worked hard and succeeded." Aaron was less certain about the emperor: "Your Majesty, 40,000 years is too short, 1,000 years is too long. ”

"Humans always think that they can go further than their predecessors, they always think that they can avoid the failures of their predecessors, and every species believes that they have something unique, that they will be able to jump out of the circle, until finally, like all species and all empires, they go back to square one." The Emperor turned his gaze back to Aaron, his falcon-like gaze fixed on Aaron, "Do you still have illusions about this city?" ”

"No, no!" Aaron gritted his teeth, rejecting the emperor's opinion: "It can't be like this, we can still restore the glory here." ”

The Emperor tilted his head and stared at the mist generated by the Mystery Lock with his former Forbidden Army, and the Lord of Humanity was expressionless: "Oh? My forbidden army, what are your plans, do you think that with the help of the four cancers in the subspace that can never be cut off, and relying on Draconion, you can move the fate of reincarnation out of its orbit? ”

"This is my path to godhood, reincarnation." Aaron said categorically: "Just as sunset is a law of nature, so sunrise is also a law of nature, reincarnation is a destiny, and I will witness it, and I will prove to you that in addition to humans, multiple races can also live together in harmony and create a glorious civilization." ”

"Reincarnation is my path, better than Mi Strono!"

“…… Whatever you want. The Emperor interrupted Aaron, "You can prove to me that you don't have to be here, but I must warn you, Ra, you're in trouble." ”

"Yes, you are right, Your Majesty." Aaron sighed, and the pride that had just risen in his heart was ruthlessly extinguished by the emperor.

Recover the Lost Strono?

Are you worthy?

You're not even a day elf!

Cricket humans to take care of the elves' private affairs? History has shown how the elves who once referred to them as "friends" reacted when humans and dwarves tried to join in the king-electing ceremony.

The emperor's meaning is simple: it is good to have ideals, don't eat the leftovers of elves.

He nodded silently: "Birak has appeared, and he wants to compete with me for the qualification of the fifth god." ”

"I've fought Birac." The emperor's cold and ice-like face showed a cautious look: "This is a very cunning opponent, he can always use unexpected means to attack in places you don't notice, he fails every time because of arrogance, but he can always learn from the experience and lessons of the last time and make a comeback, rather than face him, I would rather fight the Void Dragon again." ”

"How do I defeat Birac?" Aaron asked.

The emperor shook his head: "Not necessarily, arrogance is Birak's weakness, but I can't know what to do, and it doesn't matter now, listen up, Ra, it's not just you who are working hard to learn and progress, Birak is the same." ”

"But you have an advantage, Ra, you, as a native soul, have integrated into the rules of this world, and Birak is just a stowaway, the power he has is not replenished in this world, and before he can really integrate into this world, any fight, will irreversibly decline the power that he is proud of."

After saying that, the emperor's figure began to dissolve, and it was obvious that the Lord of Mankind was planning to leave.

"Wait, Your Majesty, why do you know so much about the history of Mystrono, and how did you discover this place?"

"Because a stone fell here." The Emperor's Phantom smiled slightly: "Kiliman has ruled my empire the way I want it to, and now that Johnson has woken up, I feel that it is time to find and awaken the Imperial Fist." ”

"Rog Dorn is sleeping in some corner of this world, find and awaken him, pull, and in exchange, I will teach you how to ascend to the living saint that belongs to you."

"It doesn't sound like a fair deal, Your Majesty." Aaron also showed a hint of a smile: "Sometimes I wonder, is there any difference between the living saints of the Imperial State Religion and those great demons under the Sadistic Throne?" ”

"The correct answer is that there is hardly any difference."

The emperor left, leaving Aaron where he was.

If what the emperor said was true, then Aaron's plan would have to be changed.

There are many forces and mechanisms in the ruins of Mystronor, and if you can make good use of some of these magical structures, you will definitely be able to cause great problems for Birac and weaken his power.

It took Aaron more than a day to adjust to the effects of the fog and Corrupt Chains around the city, and along the chaotic path through the mist, Aaron gradually approached the city's inner part.

Over the course of a few days of adventure, he encounters a patrolling team of Batzu demons, a group of inexplicable strange creatures, an adventuring party led by several red-robed mages, and a patrol of the Knights of the Shadow Sword, the Knights of Mystrono, and a small group of Dawn Seekers in Loshanda.

Aaron didn't make contact with them, and he always went on his own.

Until he saw a familiar figure in the military account in the ruins of a military camp.

Disma?
