Chapter 330: Age 1, Age of Fire Transmission
The interior of the Ossuary with a huge cross erected and stared at with hollow 'eyes' by countless skulls.
Adam, dressed in a simple white robe, looked at the deep darkness outside the stained glass, and said calmly:
"It's a shame you missed it again."
Beside him, the tall knight's voice whispered:
"You should have told me in advance!"
Adam said in a flat tone:
"The premise is that before you go to the Church of Tranquility, you will consult with me."
"If it weren't for the return of the 'Gate' that consumed the energy of the Seven Gods, allowing me to seize the opportunity, I wouldn't have been able to save you from the hands of the night."
The tall knight fell silent.
He didn't really consult with Adam, so He couldn't stop Adam from warning Him in advance.
And under the power of the night, he fell into an eternal cycle of dreams, unable to extricate himself.
Originally, the night could not do this, but the night also had the power of the king's soul.
While being affected by the King's Soul, the night can also affect its body through the King's Soul, which is the First Fire.
His consciousness is imprisoned by eternal sleep, in the same place and in an eternal cycle.
His perception was blinded by the king's soul, and he took the initiative to seal the circulating 'memory', and the cycle repeatedly.
If it hadn't been for Adam's intervention, He wouldn't have been trapped there for any longer.
Seeing that the knight was silent, Adam slowly spoke:
"He now has the path to become a 'gate', the Source Fort has been controlled by him, the True Creation has reached a cooperation with him, and the Chaos Sea is already in his bag. The night covets the river of eternal darkness, and He will not let anyone step in. ”
"If you want to turn the tables, you have to start with other ways and essentia."
The knight was silent for a long time, and then asked:
"City of Calamity, or State of Disorder?"
Adam looked at Him deeply:
"The wilderness of knowledge."
As he spoke, Adam suddenly turned around and walked towards the second 'blasphemous tablet'.
——
Above the gray fog.
Crane made his way to the top of the bronze table and took his seat in the place that belonged to the Fool.
On the table in front of him, on the right are the five blasphemous cards of 'Black Emperor', 'Tyrant', 'Dreamer', 'Fool' and 'Red Priest', and on the left are magical items such as 'Wriggling Hunger', 'Darkless Cross', 'Revere's Cry of Despair'.
Both the 'Black Emperor' and 'Visionary' cards were sacrificed by Miss 'Justice', the 'Red Priest' card and the 'Fool' card were given by Ember, and only 'Tyrant' was considered the harvest of his own 'adventure', although this adventure almost cost him his life.
As for the specific meaning of these 'blasphemy cards', Klein actually felt that the symbolism of the blasphemy cards was greater than the actual meaning.
After all, under the premise that Ember had seen the desecration slate, the value of these blasphemy cards had been greatly reduced.
Among those magical items, he can use 'Wriggling Hunger' and 'Poseidon Scepter' and 'Revere's Cry of Despair', but the side effects of 'No Dark Cross' are too great to be used at the same time as other magical items, so he can only give up painfully-
Klein is going to sell it to Little Sun, and use it as if it were the extraordinary trait of Little Sun's promotion to the Darkless One.
Just as he was thinking, a hazy figure suddenly appeared in front of Crane's eyes, which was the ember that had entered the gray mist on its own.
Klein couldn't help but ask curiously:
"You're the 'door' now?"
"It's going to take a while."
Ember replied, glanced at the 'Fool' card on the table, and continued:
"You can start preparing for Promotion Sequence 1."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Klein was not surprised.
The purpose of embers has never been to 'contain' extraordinary properties, but to 'refine' extraordinary properties.
Accommodation is simple, but refining takes time.
And if you want to give a chestnut.
There is a building, and the purpose of the extraordinary is to live in this building, and the stronger the extraordinary person is, the higher the living height.
And Ember's purpose is not to live in this building, but to turn the entire building into his possession!
In other words, the Extraordinary wants the 'right to live', and the Ember wants the right to own-
It doesn't matter if you don't live in it, what matters is who owns the building.
The same goes for Fort Origin.
The original ownership of the Source Fort was 'Original', and now half of the ownership of this edifice belongs to Ember.
As for Klein, he is only a temporary tenant of the building, and he cannot afford to fight for the title.
Just using the temporary authority, a company called the 'Tarot Society' was organized, which held regular meetings in the building.
And if you want to ask Klein who he would prefer to own the property of this building, Crane will definitely choose Ember. After all, Ember owns the property rights of the mansion and allows him to continue to use it, and not only did he have to deprive him of the right to use it at first, but even asked him to sign a deed of sale and become a house slave.
Fools know which one to choose.
Hearing the second half of the words, Klein's expression couldn't help but become a little subtle.
He's just arrived in Sequence 4, and you're asking him to move up to Sequence 1, is that a bit of a rush?
Klein thought for a moment, then pondered and said:
"You have extraordinary properties, but it will take some time to digest the potion after all."
He is not an ember, and there is no way to directly use the 'First Fire' to refine.
While it was possible to ask the First Fire to help 'digest' the potion, it was not what both sides expected. Crane needs to take control of the Source Fort step by step and deepen the connection between him and the Source Fort in order to facilitate the Primal Fire Fusion Source Fort.
If the ritual is replaced by the First Fire, it will only unilaterally strengthen the connection between Crane and the First Fire, and at the same time, it will also make the Source Fort reject him as a temporary 'tenant', and even lose control of the Source Fort.
Therefore, the necessary rituals are necessary.
Ember didn't seem surprised by this, and spoke:
"As long as you can defeat the undead team, you should have enough soul digest potions."
Klein was a little surprised:
"Aren't demigods unable to enter the dream world?"
"There are exceptions to everything."
Crane couldn't help but give Ember a strange look at his answer.
Privileges, huh?
I like it!
Klein calculated a little that Sequence 6 needed 100,000 souls for potion digestion, and Sequence 5 needed 1 million souls, so the corresponding Sequence 4 needed 10 million souls.
In the dream realm, a demigod like Mr. Guda only has 300,000 souls, and he needs to kill at least three demigods to digest the potion.
However, as one of the salary kings, the amount of souls dropped by the immortal team should be far higher than that of Teacher Guda.
Therefore, as long as you can clear the Flange Immortals, it will not be difficult to complete the potion digestion of Sequence 4.
As for the ritual requirements for Sequence 3 'Ancient Scholars'...... This is actually the easiest.
The rituals of the 'Ancient Scholars' call for a total of at least three hundred years of complete detachment from reality, taking potions after they have become history and do not belong to the current era. Its essence is to eliminate the distraction of details, to provide a clear and accurate positioning brand for becoming an 'ancient scholar', and to prevent getting lost.
For the other 'Sorcerers', the biggest difficulty in the promotion ceremony is undoubtedly how to survive the three hundred years, after all, the 'Fortune Diviner' path is not as famous for its long life as the 'Medicine Master' path.
Moreover, it is easy to go crazy after 300 years of being completely detached from reality, and for the 'sophist' who is already on the verge of a split personality, the danger of madness getting out of control is not too small.
Even if this ritual requirement can be completed, it is too much to waste 300 years just to complete a ceremony. For most 'sophists', switching paths is the best option.
Whether it's the 'Thief' path or the 'Apprentice' path, it still takes a lot of time to find potion recipes and extraordinary properties, but it probably won't take three hundred years that long. Therefore, for the other 'sophists', it is better to find a way to jump to the adjacent path than to risk losing control and detaching themselves from reality for three hundred years.
But for Klein, the ritual was tailor-made for him. He was suspended from that strange gate of light for more than three hundred years, maybe three thousand years, or even more than thirty thousand years!
In a sense, he had already fulfilled this ritual requirement.
Just wait for the potion to be digested, and it is completely possible to be promoted directly on the spot.
Klein asked hesitantly:
"What about Sequence 2?"
Ember asked rhetorically:
"What is the ritual of Sequence 2 'Miracle Master'?"
"Bringing a lost piece of history back to the ...... of the present era"
Klein subconsciously read out the ritual requirements, and then he was stunned and blurted out:
"Silver City!"
To bring a lost history back to the present era, to revert, not to reenact, the two have completely different meanings.
If it was a reproduction, then Klein could have written a part of the true history of the Quaternary or Tertiary Age and spread it out, so that the ritual would be completed.
But to return, there must be a physical entity to return.
The simplest example of this is the awakening of the ancestors of the House of Antigonus.
This half-'fool' was sealed by the goddess in the Quaternary Age for losing control, and by this time he had long been forgotten by the world. And if Klein can help him out of trouble, then his return can be counted as a 'return to the present era.'"
But half of the 'Fool' was Crane's enemy, and he had been killed by the embers, so Crane naturally wouldn't choose him. Excluding the ancestors of the Antigonus family, the 'lost history' that Klein is most familiar with is none other than Silver City!
Silver City has been trapped in the Godforsaken Land for thousands of years, and the current people don't even know where the Godforsaken Land is, which can definitely be called a lost history. As long as the residents of Silver City can escape from the God's Forsaken Land and return to the North and South Continents, they can make the history that has been lost for two or three thousand years come to the current era!
"Yes."
Ember nodded in confirmation of Klein's guess, but quickly reminded, "So you have to hurry." ”
Klein immediately understood what Ember meant—
Everyone in Silver City was ready to explore the Giant Court, but the Giant Court was swept away by the embers, not only had most of the dangers been cleared, but even the passage back to the North and South Continents had been opened by him!
Now it's not how to get Silver City back, but how to get Silver City ahead of it and promote Sequence 3 'Ancient Scholar' and digest the potion.
After all, as long as the exploration team of Silver City went to the Giant Royal Court, it would be possible to find a way to leave without much effort.
And if the people of Silver City had left the Godforsaken Land before Crane completed the digestion of the Sequence 3 potion, then this ritual would have been missed by Crane perfectly......
"Tsk......"
Klein suddenly had a headache, according to the little 'sun', Silver City will start exploring the Giant Court this week, he can only pray that the progress of Silver City is not too fast, otherwise he can only find another way.
But how did Zarathu complete the ritual in the first place?
Klein thought, and suddenly a 'special' solution popped up - to find a way to isolate some people's history from reality until they were already forgotten, and then bring them back to the current era, which could take three hundred, five hundred years, or even longer!
But for 'Sorcerer', this period was 'just right'.
Sequence 3 'Ancient Scholar' needs to be completely detached from reality for at least 300 years, and if 'Sorcerer' can get the Sequence 2 'Miracle Master' potion recipe in advance, he will be able to lay out the ritual for 'Sequence 2' in advance.
While detaching himself from reality, he also isolates other people and lets them detach themselves from reality together, thus paving the way for the ritual of Sequence 2!
And when you become Sequence 2, you can start preparing for the ritual of Sequence 1 'The Mysterious Waiter':
Build a town composed entirely of secret puppets, and design their own destiny trajectory for each secret puppet, so that they can interact with each other to interpret a realistic enough picture of life to give birth to the corresponding area in the spirit world.
The larger the size of the town, the more secret puppets, the more elaborate the daily life, the more vivid and real the different fates, and the longer and longer the rituals, the better the effect of the rituals.
Klein inexplicably thought of the dream world, and said on a whim:
"Do you think I'm going to set up a town based on the Black Soul when I'm preparing for the Sequence 1 ceremony?"
Ember behaved as a surprise:
"Why do you think that?"
As soon as Klein wanted to answer, Ember shook his head and said:
"There's no need, your Sequence 1 'ritual' can be simpler, and the dream world can be used as a ritual for your promotion to Sequence 0."
"Sequence 0?"
Klein immediately thought of the corresponding ritual—to fool time, history, or fate.
What is the existence of the dream world fooling?
Klein almost immediately thought of the answer - everything!
He had long guessed that the purpose of the existence of the dream world was to tell the story of what had happened in Rodland!
So from the very beginning, whenever the Extraordinary entered the turkey farm, Rudolphus the Vault Dweller would tell him everything.
And everything that happened after that, whether it was the convenience of digesting potions, or the magic taught by the magic teacher after finding Orbeck in Piheim, was to attract extraordinary people to dig deeper into the story contained in this dream!
The creator of the dreamland, Calullah wants to tell the world the story that once happened!
So, why tell such a story?
Find a random bookstore on the street, and there are thousands of stories in the books. If it's just telling a story, there's no need to spend a lot of energy to build a dream that is undoubtedly real!
The meaning of the existence of dreams is to make the extraordinary people who enter it immersive, so that they think it is real!
But this is clearly not enough.
Dreams are only the foundation, just the seeds planted in the hearts of the extraordinary.
What we really need to do is to make the 'story' that happened in the dream come true!
Their goal is to replace the history of this world with the history that once happened in Rodland, such as the First Age!
The First Period, also known as the Age of Chaos, has not been documented to date on this period.
Then, the embers can completely replace the real history of the First Age with the past of the fire in Rodland! At that point, the First Age may no longer be called the Age of Chaos, but the Age of Fire!
The failure of fire transmission opened the Deep Sea Age, opened the Dark Age, and this is the Dark Age of the Second Age!
If they can really succeed, then the embers will completely fool time, history and fate, and the world!
And at that time, the first fire will also truly replace the so-called creator - the creator is still praised, but the creator is no longer a concrete figure or image, but the first fire!
Klein was silent for a long time, and this crazy conjecture made it difficult for him to calm down.
He also suddenly realized that although Ember had always behaved lightly.
But in fact, the relationship between him and the Creator is actually an undying relationship.
Even if the two never really met.
