Chapter 311: The Church of Knowledge
With Emlyn's involvement, the atmosphere at the table was noticeably less 'cheerful' than before.
After all, the Bloodline has always prided itself on elegance and nobility, and has been proud of it for thousands of years. Even if they thought Emlyn was a disgrace to the Blood, they wouldn't taunt him in front of him.
There was no preparation for the party tonight, so it was shortly after dinner.
Led by Qasimi, they skilfully walked up the stairs to the underground area, through a series of secret doors, to the iron-gray but fresh hall. In the center of the hall is a vigorous tomb, surrounded by a circle of beds made of grass, a total of 12 beds. Corresponds to twelve Bloods.
"Lord Duke."
The young Bloods, including Emrin, saluted respectfully.
Emlyn stood there and heard a mellow voice coming from inside the tomb and asked:
"Now that we're here, let's get started."
"Yes."
The blood clan didn't complain, they all lowered their heads and walked to their own 'bed' and lay down. Emlyn also slowly approached his 'bed', but he couldn't help but set off a storm in his heart!
Because he was so sure that the embers were right next to him!
I can't see him because I don't have enough strength.
But Duke Olmer is an angel!
He didn't react at all, didn't he even find the embers? Doesn't that mean that Ember's strength is still above Duke Olmer? On top of Sequence 2, could it be the angel of Sequence 1? That's the closest thing to a true God!
Emlyn swallowed hard, he only knew that Ember was strong, but he didn't expect it to be so strong. The angel of Sequence 1, even within the Blood Clan, has only one and only one, and that is the beauty god Ornia, which is second only to the existence of the ancestor of the Blood Clan!
As for the possibility that Ember was a true god, Emlyn didn't dare to think about it!
After all, how is this possible?
It is said that the gods of the Fifth Age cannot walk in the human world, and this is indeed the case.
Although the gods of the Orthodoshit Church occasionally deliver oracles, they never actually appear, and have always been conveyed by the Triple Crowners of the major churches. If Ember is really a god, then he should be like the other gods, unable to walk in the world because of some kind of restriction.
Emlyn's mind was in turmoil, but her body still lay down on the bed honestly—
He didn't want anyone else to see his panic and uneasiness, especially Duke Olmer.
As all the Bloods lay down on their beds, a strange scent began to spread through the hall. Emlyn knew it was the incense that Duke Olmer had made to help them fall asleep as quickly as possible—after all, for the Bloods, who were otherworldly creatures and were nocturnal creatures, they didn't need much sleep in the first place, and they weren't comfortable falling asleep at night.
While most of them can be adjusted for this, the help of incense is naturally best.
It's like now.
Before you know it, all the Bloods have fallen asleep, into the mysterious dream world.
A second ago, Emlyn was still speculating about when Ember would appear.
And the next second, when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was sitting by a campfire.
Beside the campfire is the end of the old bridge, opposite which is an open iron gate that leads to a rat-infested sewer.
And not far in front of the campfire, there are roving monsters.
"Forget it, that's not something I should be thinking about."
Emlyn shook his head, he had no right to interfere with whatever happened between Ember and Duke Olmer. What he has to do now is to open the map as soon as possible and go to the Flange Fortress in the mouth of the 'world'!
——
When all the Bloods entered the dream, the iron-gray hall fell completely silent.
There was no sound coming from the vigorous tomb, like an ordinary tomb.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps broke the silence that a figure emerged from obscurity and walked to the tomb.
From the grave came a mellow voice that could not hear age:
"You're finally here."
Olmer's tone was full of emotion:
"Thousands of years have passed, and I thought I would never see you again in this life."
Ember was a little surprised:
"Thousands of years have passed, and you still remember?"
The tombstone in front of the grave was moved to the right, revealing a passage that could accommodate one person.
A handsome young man with dazzling blond hair walked out of it, his face was a little complicated, and he said with a wry smile:
"How can you forget? Not to mention thousands of years, even if tens of thousands of years have passed, I will never forget it. ”
Although it was thousands of years ago, even now, the events of that day are still vivid!
On that day, in Langdenheim, in the most glorious city of the Bloodline, his father, the god of the Blood, the god of life, fell in his castle, along with a god, the Crimson Moon.
And with their fall, Lilith really stepped onto the stage of history. She became a true ancient god, the ancestor of the blood clan of true value.
And the person who caused all this is Ember!
It was he who killed the God of Life, put an end to the Crimson Moon, and it was he who helped Lilith ascend to the throne!
Even Olmer can have today, which is a blessing to the embers.
Although it was Ember who killed his father, it also gave him the opportunity to become a demigod. To be honest, Olmer even used to be grateful for Ember.
After all, if Ember hadn't killed the God of Life and killed his father, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to become a demigod in his life, let alone one of the three major dukes of the Blood Clan like he did now.
But such a person who caused the upheaval of the blood clan and helped the blood clan give birth to the ancient gods, but disappeared without a trace after that.
The entire Bloodline, including the Ancestor of the Bloodline and the Beauty God, had tried to find traces of his existence. But for thousands of years, the Bloods have found nothing, as if there is no such person in this world, and what happened to Langdenheim is just a legend, a dream.
But Olmer, who had experienced all this firsthand, and had been in contact with Lilith and Ember, didn't think so.
Although he had never found any trace of the embers, he was always in awe of them, even if they had been missing for thousands of years.
After all, this is an existence that can kill gods thousands of years ago!
In the Second Age, everyone believed that the Bloodline Ancestors, Destruction Wolves, and Xeno-Kings who fell in the Primordial Age of Fire were the first gods to fall. But only the Blood Clan knew that long before the birth of the Eight Ancient Gods, there was already a god who had completely fallen!
In the historical records of the Blood Clan, it was the fall of the 'Moon' god that really opened the era of the Eight Ancient Gods-
Because of the fall of the 'moon', the first ancient god of the Second Age was born, that is, the ancestor of the blood clan.
Prior to Lilith's ascension to the throne, the Bloods were the weakest of all the transcendent races, as they had neither true gods nor enough angels, and compared to other transcendent races with at least plural angels, the Bloods had only one god of life.
And when the god of life fell, and Lilith was the first to ascend to the throne, the bloodline became the most powerful transcendent race, and there was no one! Whether it is a giant or a dragon, they can only bow down in front of the blood clan!
Even if the follow-up utopian dragons, giant kings and other existences ascended to the god throne one after another, their strength was far inferior to that of the ancestor of the blood clan. Among the eight ancient gods of the Second Age, the ancestor of the blood clan is the strongest god, and there is no one!
Even if he was betrayed and framed, the fact that the ancestor of the blood clan could pull the destruction demon wolf and the xenomorph king to die together is the best proof.
But all this is in the past after all.
The glory of the Bloodline dissipated with the fall of the Bloodline's ancestor, and the Bloodline became a lost dog after that.
Deprived of the protection of the gods, the Bloods can only hide among the human beings to survive.
Even if some of the blood clan took refuge in the elves under the leadership of his sister, the goddess of life, the life under the fence was far from stable.
Olmer was extremely puzzled, he couldn't understand why Ember had helped the Ancestor of the Bloodline ascend to the throne, and why he had watched the Ancestor of the Bloodline fall in betrayal, while he himself had never appeared.
And now, when Ember appeared in front of him, he wanted to ask why.
But after a complex psychological struggle, Olmer wisely chose to remain silent after all.
He shouldn't have asked that question, and he wasn't qualified to do so.
Olmer swept away his thoughts and took the initiative to ask:
"What do you need me to do?"
Ember asked:
"Where is Ornia now?"
"I don't know,"
Olmer shook his head and said:
"I know the positions of the three major dukes of the blood clan, I stayed in Beckland, one in Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis, and one in the Kingdom of Feneport, the capital of the Kingdom of Fenerport. You should be familiar with both of them, but the one who stayed in Trier was my sister, Alyssa, who was also the former goddess of life of the Bloodline. And one ......"
Olmer stopped talking, and his emotions were a little complicated:
"The other one is Aliana, as you have seen, when she was Alyssa's servant."
Olmer's senses are quite complex, and he is the only male of the four angels of the Bloodline.
The other three, on the other hand, have all crossed paths with Ember.
Ornia is Lilith's sister and Ember's sister.
Alyssa and Elina, on the other hand, met Ember that night.
It's really hard not to suspect that the three of them were able to become angels because of the blessing of the embers, just like the ancestors of the blood clan. The most typical is Aliana, who was once just an ordinary human, not even a Bloodline.
However, she was first embraced by the Ancestor of the Bloodline, and became a true demigod, on an equal footing with Olmer.
But Olmer can't say anything about it, after all, if you really want to talk about it, he is actually blessed by Ember.
If it weren't for his friendly attitude when he came into contact with Ember and them, I'm afraid that he would end up like his brother, who has forgotten his name, and he can't even piece together a complete corpse.
Of course, even if Olmer wants to say anything now, it's useless.
After all, there were only four of them left in the blood clan that had experienced all this back then, and even if the other blood clans had not died in the war with other transcendent races, they had already died of natural old age.
After all, although the lifespan of the blood clan is long, if you can't become an angel, there is still a limit after all. Ordinary bloodlines only have a lifespan of two or three hundred years, while the demigods of Sequence 4 can only live for more than a thousand years.
What happened thousands of years ago, even for the Bloodline, is just a legend a long time ago.
Even if Olmer is a duke, if he declares to all the blood clan that 'the rise of the blood clan depends on a human being, and the reason why the four angels of the blood clan can become angels is also because of that human being', there will definitely not be many blood clans who believe it.
Even if the other bloodlines didn't dare to say anything out of awe, they would definitely feel that Olmer was afraid that something was wrong with his brain.
As his thoughts flowed, Olmer continued:
"There are almost no bloodlines in the Fusak Empire, and because of their size, it is difficult for them to hide themselves. What's more, the relationship between the giants and the Bloodline has never been very harmonious, and their attitude towards the Bloodline is not very friendly, and once discovered, they will be treated as heretics. ”
"Among the remaining three kingdoms, I and the other two dukes are in charge of one country and handle the affairs of their own blood."
"Lord Ornia is mostly indifferent, and rarely appears, except for the occasional oracle. Therefore, no one, including our three dukes, knows where Lord Ornia is. ”
"However, I guess Lord Ornia should be in Lenburg by now."
Ember thought for a moment and asked:
"Why?"
Olmer said very simply:
"There is some deep cooperation between the Blood Clan and the Knowledge Church, and this part of the cooperation is handled by the Blood Clan of Lenburg, and even the three major dukes have no room for interference. However, with only a few local demigods, it is obvious that they are not qualified enough to be responsible for the cooperation with the Knowledge Church, and only Lord Ornia can make decisions directly on this part of the matter. ”
After a pause, Olmer pointed to the Bloodlines outside the grave, and continued:
"For example, the dream world is a collaboration with the Church of Knowledge, and it is an oracle issued by Lord Ornia herself."
"The Church of Knowledge?"
Ember is slightly surprised, as the dream world was created by Calula, and the Bloodlines are explorers and participants in the dream world.
He had thought it was a collaboration between the Bloodlines and Kalula, but he didn't expect that there was also a Church of Knowledge in between.
But the question is, why involve the Church of Knowledge?
Calulah creates dreams, and the Bloodlines are responsible for exploring.
What about the Church of Knowledge? What role do they play in this?
If you are simply responsible for exploration, then there is no need to specifically seek out the Church of Knowledge.
After all, as long as you are an extraordinary person, you can enter the dream world.
The first batch of Bloodline entered the closed beta, testing whether the dream world could run stably.
However, the entry of the members of the Tarot Society, and the subsequent entry of the extraordinaries of the Hall family into the dream world, means that the dream world has been able to conduct 'open beta' to a certain extent. Coupled with the fact that the dream world itself possesses properties that can help digest potions, once it spreads, it will definitely attract a large number of extraordinary people.
In this case, there is no need to work with a Orthodox Church, let alone the weakest Orthodox Church, unless the Church of Knowledge plays an important role in it!
Ember thought for a moment, then spoke again:
"Does the Bloodline have any clues about soothsayers, thieves, and apprentices passing through the demigods?"
Olmer thought for a moment and spoke:
"I'll ask the Bloodlines of Beckland to keep an eye on it."
After a pause, Olmer asked again:
"How do I contact you?"
Olmer's eyes flickered, and he wished he could take the opportunity to learn Ember's honorable name—
That's something he wanted to know thousands of years ago.
Ember saw Olmer's thoughts, but his answer was simple:
"You can pray to the fools."
