Chapter 287: Avalon's Divine Entity
If you follow what Ivus knew before, the answer to this question is very clear.
- He's Ivas Moriarty. At the same time, Ivas Alexander. If you count the memories of his previous life, he is still a time-traveler from another world.
But now, Iwass is a little unsure.
Why did you come into this world?
Why is it only you who came into this world?
Why is it that only oneself awakens the memories of his past life? And it happens to be a player who has played this "game" and has insight into the future......
When Ivas was born, his grandfather had already arrived at Eagle Point Village to live in seclusion. So is his birth also related to the study of his grandfather?
Originally, Ivas was only wary of his adoptive father - as a haunted man who didn't know what he wanted to do, anything he did would be considered by Ivas to be some kind of long-term layout.
- Now, Ivas discovers that his grandfather is still a mad scientist!
This discovery made Ivus uneasy.
Am I also a swamp man? Or am I a copy of someone?
I might even be Jacob who has lost his memory!
And Jacob isn't necessarily dead.
…… Let's not mention the issue of "fake death", the inheritance of Avalon's intangible cultural heritage.
If his research is complete, then his merits will be sufficient to sublimate and become an apostle.
And then, Ivus thought of another thing-
- Players.
Or rather, the player in the game setting.
There is no such thing as Eagle Cape Village in the game. But maybe it's not that it doesn't exist, it's that the player can't find it.
Each player has their own background when creating their character – they have to set their own race, background, origin, personal pursuits and goals, and so on. In the story dialogue, these things can become their exclusive dialogue options; There are also some quests that will vary depending on the player's origin.
Eventually, the player will end up on the Isle of Glass and lose their wallet and identification - but until then, they're all registered and real people in the world.
But here's the problem.
As a player of the Snake Father bloodline, if they press their background...... Except for the players who choose the "orphan" background, the other players have parents and families. So why aren't their families of snake father blood?
Or rather, why do players never go home?
From a gameplay perspective, it's easy to explain. Because there are so many origins and backgrounds to choose from, if you design individual quests for each origin and background, as well as NPCs related to their past, it will add a lot of unnecessary workload.
As a result, players will always encounter various things that will give them no good reason to run home...... And then I got used to being picked up, and then Avalon directly destroyed the country. Rounding off is the destruction of the family.
…… But.
Suppose there is a player character who is the "Formula Protagonist", i.e. the official protagonist...... Then this person should also be real. In other words, because the protagonist has his own background and background, then the protagonist should also be real - and came to the Glass Island in October.
But Ivas repeatedly confirmed that there was indeed no such person.
So Ivas came up with a terrible but reasonable idea-
Could it be that the original "protagonist" was the swamp man created by Jacob?
So they were supposed to be mortals, but they became the blood of the snake father; That's why no family members come to the door because they haven't been in touch for a long time; Therefore, players can gain public experience by killing strong enemies and transcending them; Therefore, players can only be resurrected infinitely after death, but they will lose experience; That's why players will never be able to find the nearby Eagle Cape Village; That's why players arrive at the scene and save Ivas when he is in danger......
If that's the case, then everything makes sense!
The "protagonist" controlled by the player is most likely a test product created by Jacob using a certain material related to the snake father!
But now that the "system" has been obtained, the people who can use the free experience are no longer players, but themselves......
Seeing Ivas sit on the couch with his head bowed and fall into a long silence and thought, the elder sighed and poured Ivas a cup of tea.
"Don't overthink it, kid."
The elder said calmly, "Jacob loves you. ”
"I'm just thinking ......"
Ivus hesitated, but then asked, "My grandfather...... Is he really dead? ”
Even now Iwass just recalls the fact that he and Jacob had a fever at the same time...... It all feels like it's full of intrigue.
As a high-ranking Spell Mage, and most likely even the highest-ranking Analonian Spell Mage at the time, there was no reason why he couldn't find out that he was cursed, let alone counter the curse unleashed by these weak Curse Masters. Then his eventual death is very strange.
What's even more strange is that after his death, all the research notes around him disappeared.
If the people who stole his research were noble red, then how did they get to the village of Eagle Cape, which is protected by the fairy barrier?
If they did arrive at Eagle Point Village, why didn't they kill it?
So if it wasn't stolen by the noble red...... Why didn't the Red of Honor come around looking for it? And who took these things?
Ivus felt like he already knew a lot.
But what he didn't know became even more.
He really felt that the old man related to him was not just his adoptive father James - or rather, he was now like a pawn in a game between two old men. And Ivas is only now realizing that there is another player.
After that, Ivus asked the elder again, but he could not give any new and effective information.
So Ivas could only say goodbye politely and leave.
The next target of the inquiry was the only priest in the village of Eagle Point.
In this village shrouded in the power of dusk, the priest might also surprise Ivus with more surprises.
And right now.
The Great Guardian George was using a soul-searching spell at the moment, carefully searching for information in the mind of one of the high-ranking members of the Noble Red who had been captured alive by him.
Because they all knew that he had a soul-searching spell, it was too difficult for him to capture someone alive...... Before he is captured alive, the other party will commit suicide.
It wasn't until now that he finally caught one. The other party has been lurking on the glass island for a long time, and today suddenly decided to leave. As a result, at the time of the transfer, he was caught by the returning Grand Guardian - through a sneak attack, he caught the first high-level job he has obtained so far.
George decided that he had to scour his memories.
As a result, as soon as he started reading the memory, he encountered a problem - he didn't quite know the terminology used by the other party. Because reading memories does not contain supernatural knowledge, it is also a kind of protection for the caster.
“…… Divine entities? ”
The Great Guardian frowned: "What is that......"
He used a little more force to clutch the other cheek's hand, and the other party's body twitched more violently, and large white smoke seeped out of the other party's facial features, and was slowly inhaled by the Great Guardian.
He got information that he had never gotten before.
In his mind, the only appeal of these giants of the Noble Red should be revenge on Avalon, independence from Avalon, or the seizure of Avalon's land. And its most essential purpose is to allow Xiong Tiansi to return to the position of the pillar god again.
To that end, they would have to unleash a great deal of violence around the world, turning the world into chaos and destabilizing the concept of authoritarianism.
Just listen to their names and declarations -
"—We are wounded fists, blood-grabbing hands, scaleless blades."
The Great Guardian knows that the predecessor of the Noble Red organization was called the Scaleless Hand.
It was a large armed group of transcendents who were unarmoured and loyal to the Silver Crowned Dragon. Its essence was a rebel army of transcendent rebels against the previous king, the tyrant Tudor III.
And after Queen Sophia ascended the throne, gradually pacified the people, and solved many of the problems left by Tudor III, the Scaleless Hand lost its core cohesion.
Because they haven't done anything yet, or almost nothing. But life has changed for the better on its own, and it will get better and better...... Then they can actually go back to their daily lives.
But the power and inheritance of this spontaneously condensed army of transcendent rebels have attracted the attention of the Star Antimony Kingdom. With the massive assistance of the Star Antimony Kingdom regardless of the cost, the noble red, which was re-established with the giant prince of the previous dynasty as the core, was born.
They are richer and more powerful than the Scaleless Hand - they don't need to spontaneously fund their activities or carry out assassination missions to get funding, as the Scaleless Hand does, they pay regularly without having to do anything, and they are completely out of production.
However, greed is insatiable. Their connections on the Star Antimony side make it easy for them to initiate smuggling.
Eventually, Avalon found them by tracking down the smugglers.
Otherwise, an extraordinary organization that does not flow in from China at all, has a strict threshold for membership, and will actively extinguish its mouth, in this era when there is no big data, and even bank data cannot be exchanged in real time, is basically invisible.
On the other hand, since they took the money of the Star Antimony people...... Then it's essentially working for the Star Antimony people.
The purpose of the Star Antimony people is, of course, to disturb Avalon.
…… But now, the Great Guardian has received an unexpected answer.
This noble red high-rise, the memories in his mind revealed...... Their "revenge" and "rebellion" against Avalon are just to scam money and support from the Star Antimony.
The Noble Red was not a puppet of the Star Antimony as they thought. They also have their own conspiracies, or their own demands.
Of course, the core appeal does have to do with the Supreme Heaven.
But they didn't want to take power by force, let alone cause chaos - this was indeed an act that suited the intelligence and character of the giants, but the giant prince was an unexpectedly intelligent type.
They gathered on the Isle of Glass because Wolfram had received information from the prophecy that there was a Divine Entity on the Isle of Glass at this moment. If you can get it, it will be of great help to the Second Coming of the Most High.
But what exactly this divine entity is, the prophecy does not mention. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. The only definite clue is that this divine entity is related to transcendent gods such as the Serpent Father or the Celestial Celestials.
And now the reason why they will evacuate is also very simple -
Because this morning, there was news from the headquarters that the [Divine Entity] they were looking for was no longer on the Glass Island.
Update complete!
Friendship pushes books, but also amber streams!
"Your notoriety is known to everyone"
"The tyrannical king of delusion, the shameless prophet of vileness, the source of evil that breeds conspiracy, the sage of supreme intellect...... These are all bad names given to you by citizens.
"People are afraid of your merits and character, and they will also taboo these titles, and they are more accustomed to calling you - the Lord.
"Of course, you've gained a certain amount of good name, and many underground societies have given you the title of savior, but they are currently wanted by the Empire.
"Do you have any thoughts on these things?"
A reporter asked Rutgers.
"Slander! They're slandering me! I just wanted to feel a little bit safe......"
Before Rogus could finish answering the question, several teenagers and girls kicked open the door of the interview room, shouting friendship, bonds, future, or something, and rushed towards Rogers.
