742. Shocked! The saint of the Crimson Keep is actually a murderous butcher?
The last generation of Purification Masters, as described by Lena at the last moment, sacrificing themselves to position the Bitten King and calling for the Sun Ship to attack on the ground is not the nonsense and self-plastering of the members of the Tower of the Ring.
In fact, this incident is also recorded in the history of the Blood Vulture Clan.
Although Tracey had been "dead" for a long time by then, Salonokdal was one of the leaders of the faction who had personally participated in the Fourth Plague, and according to Morphy's diary in the Scarlet Corridor, it was indeed the great who sacrificed himself to pave the way to victory on the fateful day that decided the defeat of the Lord of the Biting Bones.
It can be concluded that he is referring to the "Great One" by Master Myredin.
And it was a vampire archduke's diary, and the fact that he, as an ancient man, praised a human feat in his diary with such great praise could show what a glorious image Meredin had been in the time of a hundred years ago.
Of course, it can also bear the terrible pressure that the king of biting bones brought to everyone in that era.
Even fellows like Salokdal breathe a sigh of relief at the defeat of Philip, and even solemnly record the scene of that day with a trembling pen and a relieved heart.
However, Murphy was very skeptical that the Tower of the Ring, which seemed to have done all the bad things so far, could give birth to such an upright and selfless hero, and it was not until Lena had to sleep in a coffin due to Lena's adaptation to the power of the vampires that Triss introduced Murphy and Phimes to the Tower of the Ring in her eyes.
"Actually, I think there is some truth to Lena's description, because in my time, the image of the Tower of the Ring was still very positive, at least people talked about it in a much softer tone than they did when they talked about vampires."
Tracey made a start, and as a result, Femis's complaint was ushered in:
"Isn't this nonsense?
There are few other creatures on this continent that can be treated as 'super treated' by us vampires, and even the people in the forest where there are no vampires at all in the Antani region are disgusted when they talk about us.
What a hell of a thing.
I don't even know where the vampire ran to steal their rice, or jumped into the well with the children of the forest people? Forget if others scold us, they can't fight with us, why do they scold us? ”
"Well, that's probably one of the original sins of vampires."
Murphy soothed the unhappy Philimis, and he sighed and said:
"As far as the ancient people in our civilization have done all the things, and the other people on the mainland still allow us to live here, we already have to thank others for their grace not to kill. Triss continued, I remember, the Tower of the Ring was also founded by you in that era? ”
"What do you call my time? I feel like I'm old! ”
Tracey also glared at Murphy, and then sighed and said:
"But it is true, the Tower of the Ring was built in 610 A.D., that is, 500 years ago, when my young father had just left the Saxophone with his family to settle in Transia.
At that time, mankind was still in the late stage of the clan system, and the slave city-state society was there.
My father was the youngest son of the lord of a small city-state, and my mother was from a rival city-state.
In short, according to my father's memory, the predecessor of the Tower of the Ring was a group of mountain tribe wizards who had learned a lot of superficial psionic spells from the silver dwarves in the Anjou region and decided to form their own mage organization, and it happened that the Songhai people mission who traveled around the world at that time discovered a strange half-plane in the White Cliffs.
So with the light of the Songhai people, the Tower of the Ring was established in that half-plane of seclusion.
The name is said to be derived from the five towers that already existed in the half-plane, they were built in a circular area, and now that I think about it, it should be some kind of creation of the Golden Age, but I don't really understand why the Songhai people didn't take away the bequest of the creator in that half-plane?
Maybe it's because there's some kind of weirdness?
In short, the Tower of the Ring has developed rapidly since its establishment.
It is said that the pure spirits in the White Cliff half-plane allow the casters to grow rapidly, and of course, the vampires who have been living with humans since the beginning of the era also played a big role in this process.
I heard that for a while, the Mystic Blood Clan was invited to reside in the White Cliff to teach the mysteries of the mage's psionic abilities, and when I think about it, the time when the Mystic Blood Clan's gods disappeared was the same time when they were expelled from the White Cliff due to their conflict with the Tower of the Ring.
It was in the year 725 after the Second Black Plague.
I remember very well, because in that year, the war hero of the Yankees and their hero, Boris, built a city called Borisgrad on the edge of the Great Wilderness and launched a war of conquest against the Great Wilderness in the midsummer of that year.
It was a very monumental year.
At that time, the Tower of the Ring had developed into the largest psionic organization in the human race, but it still could not compete with the rising Church of Avalon, and was always overwhelmed by others.
The real highlight of the Tower of the Ring came during the Second Night War, when they, along with the Old Religion, formed the backbone of humanity's fight against vampires, and unlike the Old Religion, which burned vampire worshippers at every turn, the Tower of the Ring handled it in a more sensible and decent way.
Although the two sides were pitted against each other at that time, many psykers had one or two vampire friends.
It can be said that throughout history, the Tower of the Ring has always played a sane, mysterious, and neutral figure in human society, and they rarely participate in the politics of the mortal realm, and even pursue a concept of 'seclusion'.
They worship transcendent power, they chase wisdom, they thirst for truth, and so everyone I remember is very personable.
Only when human society suffers a major threat, those powerful and outstanding psionics will appear, such as every black disaster, the Tower of the Ring plays a very important role, remember Lao Qin's corpse witch friend Old Baldwin?
He was once a member of the Tower of the Ring, and he also served as the tower owner of the Plastic Energy Tower for a short time.
At that time, the Ring Tower was not a spellcaster organization of the Sealand Kingdom, and they were facing the entire human world when they accepted apprentices, so the wind was quite good, and for a long time, the Ring Tower was called the 'Hidden Guardian'. ”
Hearing this, Murphy nodded, and he asked a very crucial question:
"So, when did the Tower of the Ring begin to break away from its hermit career and really intervene in the functioning of mortal society on a large scale?"
"I don't know, at least until I 'died', they maintained a fairly low-key conservative style, but according to the information I have consulted during this time, it should have started after the fourth black plague, that is, a hundred years ago."
Tracey narrowed her eyes and glanced at Lena, who was resting in the coffin, and said:
"It seems that right after they activated that 'Grand Dean'!
From a conservative but wise order of hermitages, they quickly became a purposeful, ruthless, and efficient organization, and their great expansion began at that time.
Although Lena didn't say it explicitly, I guess that the Ten Years War and the fall of the Old Religion were also deeply involved in the Tower of the Ring.
Of course, judging by the descriptions of old Finok, the internal corrosion of the Church of Avalon before its fall was already shocking.
If the Tower of the Ring is really 'guarding the human world' as they say, then they are the right choice to do something to the Church of Avalon, after all, even the Grey Knights have begun to desecrate the natural shrine in the Antani region, where the Old Religion originated.
That faith organization deserved to be buried.
Truth be told, based on my own past experience, vampires are far more disgusted with the Church of Avalon than they are with the Tower of the Ring, which was not a threatening organization for a long time.
And Dusk also happened to be formed a hundred years ago.
The timing is delicate, Murphy, and I guess if we can meet the 'Grand Dean', we will be able to figure out the details hidden in history.
About the internal corrosion of the Ring Tower"
"We're definitely going to go, the dean is suspected of being the AI of the golden age, Lord Pa Ying said, the core AI of the Eden area has also been partially affected by the impact of subspace, it's hard to say what the position of the dean is?"
Murphy shook his head and said:
"There are too many ways for a golden age AI to pretend to be a ghost, and with all due respect, I really don't think those hermits can play with digital beings like that."
"What the hell are you talking about! Why do I feel like I understand every word, but it's weird when you put it together in your mouth? ”
Fiemis next to her had listened to the secret history of the Tower of the Ring well, but the more she listened, the more wrong it became, especially when Murphy said the guess of the Golden Age, she couldn't understand it at all.
This made Fiimis feel excluded from the collective, making her very unhappy.
In other words, since the eldest lady was revealed by Tracey about her true age and true identity, she quickly discarded the ability and maturity she had just appeared, and quickly approached the demeanor of a young girl in her thirties, which was really a little unbearable.
Adele is obviously about the same age as her, but the two of them feel like "mother and daughter" together.
Murphy glanced at Philimis and then at Trash, and the Archduke the Vulture nodded, so Murphy said to Phimis:
"When I was obsessed with otherworldly dramas for a while, fantasizing about being a powerful vampire horse monkey soju, we discovered some secrets about the previous era, and the original sin of vampires.
It's not that I won't tell you, it's just that these mysteries may be a little too exciting for you, after all, you have a bloody divine seed in you, and it's hard to say what kind of impact this knowledge will have on you.
If you really want to know, let Tracy tell you something simple, I'll see the reaction, and if the reaction is good, the rest will tell you.
Phimis, you have to understand.
You may look like a vampire, but you're much more complicated inside. ”
"I understand, I understand, a complex and mysterious life experience is often one of the standard configurations of the protagonist, I don't feel hesitant or confused by this, especially after being exposed to the adventures of people from other worlds and those movies and television, I have fully understood that this is the heavy responsibility that I must bear in this magnificent life!"
Femis proudly straightened her flat chest, and she said loudly:
"Tell me all the secrets, I'm ready to accept it! Also, the seeds in my body seem to be about to sprout recently."
"What?"
Murphy was taken aback, and he asked a little nervously:
"Have you consulted Avalon? Is it normal for this seed to germinate? Will you turn into a tree? ”
"No, no, it's just a symbolic statement, I don't have flowers or leaves on my head, you unimaginative fool, Murphy! I am the seed! It's not like I have a seed growing in my body, you know?
Becoming a fine!
Got it?
You just have to understand me as a 'seed essence'. ”
Philimis corrected Murphy's misconception with a very vivid and magical metaphor, tilting her head and saying:
"Avalon seems to be very busy lately, and when I ask Him, He doesn't answer me well, just telling me that once the seed of divine power really sprouts, I will enter the 'High Speed Growth Period', well, His exact words are that I will awaken my true talent after absorbing the nutrients of power and go all the way to the realm of demigods.
Because my essence is the divine seed of Avalon, I can also be regarded as a mutant descendant of the god of nature, and the demigod is only my ultimate form, which does not mean that I will stay in that form forever.
But there are no demigod vampires on the continent yet, right?
Will I be the first? ”
"Damn!"
Tracey and Murphy were dumbfounded, and the Grand Duke of the Vulture complained:
"A demigod vampire! How can we Blood Vulture Clan? Even Lord Pa Ying was stuck on that line and couldn't get by, how could you have this honor to be promoted all the way? Also, what do you say Avalon has been busy lately.
Well?
Have we forgotten something? ”
Tracy looked left and right, and soon found that while they were discussing the affairs of the Ring Tower here, they had forgotten the second box sent by Madame Shannie, but fortunately, this box was also a creation of the Mystic Blood Clan, and it also had the effect of time freezing.
Therefore, after opening the wooden box, the exotic girl Chuchute who was restrained inside was not in danger of life.
But when she woke up from her baby-like sleep rubbing her eyes, she saw three vampires, one large and one small, poking their heads out around her coffin board and looking at her.
This startled Chucchut, and she subconsciously reached for her obsidian hunting knife, but was quickly grasped by Tracey.
The intention was to prevent Chuchut from doing something stupid, but as soon as Tracy picked it up, Femis next to her let out a scream and flew over with a standard Ultra Kick, kicking the obsidian hunting knife in Tracy's hand.
The thing hovered and stuck to the ground, and the special power on it was activated, and the next second it flashed like a sun, directly blinding the three vampires' dog eyes, causing them to escape from the room with white smoke all over their bodies.
Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise the direct impact of that concentration of solar spiritual energy would be estimated to be able to "vaporize Murphy" on the spot.
"Damn! It's a divine thing! ”
Tracey made a rare loss of her hand, and covered her face to prevent Murphy from seeing her ugly appearance after being burned, and she shouted loudly:
"I've never seen that kind of divine power, but I think it's about the same as the solar power of the Glorious Sun Church! But it's noticeably more active and a little more violent. ”
"I saw monsters that looked like birds and snakes!"
Phimes also covered his face and screamed:
"I swear I'm not mistaken, in that spark of the sun just now, maybe that is the face of that strange god? That's not the gods of the Old World!
Ah, Avalon is alarmed!
He told me that it was Kurkan, the Quetzalcoatl sun god of the New World, the patron saint of the Aztec kingdom and the strongest of the astral djinn after Ao and Su. The girl sent by Xia Ni is the chosen choice of the Quetzalcoatl Sun God?
Damn it!
The New World is tens of thousands of miles away, how could a Divine Chosen be so far away from the territory of the gods? ”
"Because, my kingdom has suffered a great problem, even the great Kulkan has been affected by death and war, and the once merciful He has begun to slide into the dark side of bloodthirsty madness."
Chucchut's sad voice sounded from the other side of the door, and she whispered:
"I'm not the Chosen One of Quetzalcoatl, I'm just a priest, and the Chosen One of Kurkan has died in the battle against those 'White Demons', yes, the pioneers of the Old World! You have caused terrible calamity in my kingdom!
I left my homeland and came to your land in search of a way to save the gods and the kingdom.
Also, Avalon, I've heard the name, there is a very powerful 'Demon King' among those white demons, who rode through my homeland on a red warhorse, and he slaughtered our entire army.
That's the name that the madman-like demon king shouted when he carried out the slaughter, and you just called him the god of nature?
No, He is not the God of Nature. ”
Chucchut's words made Murphy frown, and Tracy next to him pulled his sleeve, and Murphy hesitated for a moment, and said to Chucchut:
"You come with me."
With that, he led Chuchut out of here to the middle level of the Vulture Corridor, and when he reached the front of the Hall of the Holy Blood, which had just been cleared, he pointed to the statue of Old Finoch and said:
"The 'Demon King' you are talking about, is that him?"
"That's right! That's him! The White Devil on a red horse! He wears the cloak of death and brings green annihilation. ”
Chuchut was very excited, carrying the burning obsidian knife, and wanted to destroy the stone statue of Old Finok, and the hatred and anger in the girl's eyes could not be faked.
But Murphy stopped her.
He glanced at the statue of old Finoch, sighed, and said:
"Keep coming with me, the 'White Devil' in your mouth is dead! Dead in the ruins of the hall ahead, I'll tell you his story. Also, although I'm not qualified to say that, but old Finok, he
He's not as bad as you think. ”
