Chapter 41: The Man from the Dark Age
"Your Highness?" At this time, Rogo was still a little frightened, but the light of the pyramid crystal made him feel a little relieved. He looked around, looking for the source of the sound. Soon, he spotted a figure behind the shadow of the Eternal Wood in the distance.
"You just made a mess?"
"Who are you?"
Rogo came out of his thoughts, and the figure just stood under the shadow of the Eternal Tree, and said in a hoarse tone, "I'm sorry, I can't bathe in the divine light, so I can only say hello from this angle." β
"You can call me Lafrenz."
"Lafrentz?" Rogo repeated, and then asked, "How did you end up in my soul space?" β
"What is your purpose?"
"And, what heir, what does that mean?"
"Why do you suddenly call me Your Highness?"
A series of questions came from Rogo's thoughts, and Lafrenz coughed lightly: "I'm very sorry, your highness, I know that you have a lot of questions, and it may take a little time to explain. But my magic has just been broken, and I can't say more to you in this form. β
"You need a restful night's sleep. And I, on the other hand, will tell you the answer to everything in my dreams! β
As soon as Lafrentz finished speaking, the figure rose into the spiritual night sky and turned into a small star, which then dimmed into the sky.
Rogo was a little uneasy, he looked at the pyramid crystal that slowly rotated and released light, hesitated for a moment, and still withdrew from the soul space.
β¦β¦
Back in the real world, it's already dark. Luo Ge rubbed his head, after such an experience, his head still had a dull pain, and a wave of fatigue came up.
Opening the door, Lina stood at the door, saw Rogo come out, and hurriedly asked Rogo if he wanted to eat dinner, Rogo smiled reluctantly, shook his head, and walked towards the bedroom on the third floor.
Hopefully, today is a good dream......
β¦β¦
Rogo opened his eyes again and found himself standing outside an elaborate manor, this time conscious and aware that he was in a dream.
It was night, but Rogo saw a little light in the sky.
It's just that the light is getting bigger and brighter.
Finally, Rogo saw clearly, where was the light, it was a meteorite that was burning and falling!
Meteor Shower!
The meteorite fell on the manor, and in the blink of an eye, the manor and the surrounding area were flattened, and flames erupted everywhere, and smoke and dust obscured the sky.
It's as if Rogo is in a hologram and witnesses it all happening.
Although Rogo was not affected in any way, this kind of heavenly deterrence still made Rogo's heart rise with a trace of awe.
"What is this......" Rogo unconsciously made a voice, and at this time the answer came from behind him, "This is the magic of the forbidden spell." β
When Rogo turned around, he saw an old man in a purple robe standing behind him, smiling kindly at him.
"Lafrentz?" Rogo asked.
"Yes." Lafrenz nodded, he crossed his hands, pressed his shoulders, and bowed slightly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness!" β
Rogo looked at LaFrentz's movements, a courtesy he didn't remember, and said softly, "I'm here to find answers." β
"As you wish." Lafrenz nodded, and walked towards the manor, which had been razed to the ground, he motioned for Rogo to follow, and said as he walked, "On the thirteenth day of the rainy month in the year 1334 of the new calendar, the Bright Alliance attacked here, and it was very unfortunate that I was a guest here at the time!" β
With that, the two walked to the middle of the ruins, where a basement passage was revealed.
Lafrenz went down first, and Rogo hurriedly followed.
The steps of the basement were very deep, and the magic of that day had apparently destroyed the underground part as well, until he reached the lowest level of the basement, and Rogo's pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw a mural.
A complete mural!
This mural Rogo is no stranger, because at this point in time, this mural is on the basement level of his guild castle.
Lafrenz looked at the mural and said, "The name of this painting is 'The Resting House,' and the pigment used comes from the juice of a rare and pure thing. β
"I cut out a part of my spiritual power and hid in this mural, and I escaped."
Rogo suddenly remembered that when SΓ‘nchez had told him about the origin of the guild residence, it was originally the manor of a church bishop, which was destroyed in the war, and then built a new castle on the basis of that......
Wait, the new calendar of the church that Lafrentz said earlier...... That's the Dark Age calendar!
"You...... Are you from the Dark Ages? "Luo Ge couldn't believe it, you know, just the establishment of the Bright Age, seven hundred years have passed. If this Lafrenz was a man of the Dark Age, wouldn't it be hundreds or even thousands of years old.
"The flesh decays, but the spirit endures." Lafrenz said lightly, "If you count from the day I was born, I am now nine hundred and eighty-three years old!" β
Looking at Rogo's stunned expression, Lafrenz smiled faintly and clapped his hands, and suddenly the space where Rogo was located changed into a beautiful garden.
"Just a brief introduction to myself."
"You can ask your questions, and I'll answer them all." Lafrenz motioned for Rogo to sit down, and sat down in a chair himself, "Unfortunately, this is a dream, and I have nothing to entertain you." β
Rogo thought for a moment and first asked a question he was most concerned about: "What happened to that giant dream before?" Do you do it all because of my nightmares every day? β
Lafrenz nodded: "These two questions are actually one answer. β
"That's right, it's all my doing."
"That's magic, you could call it the Nightmare Seed!"
"Nightmare seeds?" Rogo repeated.
"Yes." Lafrenz smiled, as if to say something proud, "It's my masterpiece." β
Rogo grimaced, waiting for Lafrenz to continue.
Only then did Lafrenz restrain his smile: "This is a way for me to replenish my mental power." β
"After that attack, only part of my mind hid in the mural, so I fell into a long slumber, and reawakening almost consumed all my mana!"
"If this continues, I'll dissipate sooner or later, so, I've researched the Nightmare Seed."
"It's almost depleted, it only takes me a little bit of mental power to hook out the fear in people's hearts in the dream realm and form a nightmare."
"Nightmares connect me to the target of the spell, and when the other party is about to level up, I can seize this power to restore my mental power."
Rogo hit the nail on the head and asked, "Will that spell subject die?" β
Lafrenz looked at Rogo: "Level 1 or above, mental toughness, at most a period of weakness." Below the first level, you will die! β
Rogo exhaled lightly, looked at Lafrenz, and especially wanted to stand up and smash his fist on that old face, but in the end he still let out a long breath and continued to ask: "The alliance has come to check several times, why hasn't you been found?" If I die, aren't you afraid to track it down? β
Lafrenz shook his head: "The people who came to check were at most mid-level, and they couldn't sense my existence at all." β
"If you want to track it down, you must at least send a super-level magus to make it possible."
Rogo nodded, he understood what Lafrenz meant.
The death of a magic apprentice can't alarm the existence of a super-level.
"Okay, next question." Rogo said, "What the hell is that crystal in my soul space? β
"Why do you call me Your Highness?"
"Inheritor, what's going on?"
