Chapter 176: Influenced by an Unknown Factor
Affected by the collapse of the magic web, the elementals of all planes went berserk, many spellcasters in the empire lost the ability to release spells, floating cities floating in the sky and the outer void crashed one after another, a large number of mages fell, coupled with the rebellion of those lowly races who served the empire, and the church of the gods behind the rebellion, our empire collapsed. ”
As he spoke, the old man's body trembled, apparently recalling something bad.
For others, the collapse of the magic net is just a thin text that records history, even if it is a reader with rich emotions, after seeing it, it is at most a pity for the era of magic prosperity, but for the old man, who has experienced it firsthand, the collapse of the magic net is a huge disaster for the destruction of the country and the family.
This sounds like a sense of déjà vu that the game server is restarted and the grand guild is finished...... After listening to the old man's words, this thought flashed through Jiang Hao's heart.
While it was theoretically possible for players to get together and rebuild the Grand Guild after the game servers restarted, it was clear that the Magic Empire, the Grand Guild that wanted to replace the game companies, had offended a group of game companies, and the game companies banded together to humanely destroy them.
However, what happened to these mages made me understand why the gods had to form their own networks of divine powers, rather than let the priests cast spells with the help of magic webs.
- Although the maintenance of the divine power network requires a large amount of divine power, at least it is your own server, so you don't have to worry about others deleting your account, and you don't have to worry about your own priest losing the ability to release divine magic after someone else's server collapses.
It's just that there are a few doubts in this.
Jiang Hao opened his mouth and asked, "Three questions." ”
"First question: What do you mean by 'support from the Great Power'?"
"The Night Lady, the Calamity, the God of Knowledge, and a mysterious woman. ”
The old man said four names in a relaxed tone.
"Second question: Was the mage who originally came up with the idea 'Will the Mother of All Magic sever us from the web and stab us when we are fighting the gods?'
The old man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jiang Hao to ask this question at all, he thought about it for a while, and his face suddenly turned pale, "A person, his name is ...... Kartass. ”
"The third question is who first came up with the phrase 'create a web under our control to replace the ubiquitous web'. Jiang Hao asked again.
"Also Karthas. ”
The old man's face turned pale.
He paused for a moment before he spoke with a little difficulty, "There is a god that makes me, or all those who know, subconsciously ignore these things. ”
"There are gods calculating the Empire!"
Some things immediately feel wrong when you think about them in hindsight.
At the critical moment when the Shadow Demon Network replaced the Demon Net, Karthas's actions were very unreasonable, if the Shadow Demon Network succeeded in replacing the Demon Net, what use would he have if he seized the dominance of the Demon Net and the authority of the Mother of All Magic? As for Karthas's belief that the Shadow Demon Network could not replace the Demon Net, it was impossible.
The Shadow Demon Web is the work of countless mages throughout the empire, among which there are several mages who have the same glory as Karthas, if the Shadow Demon Web cannot replace the Demon Net, those mages cannot see it, and it is impossible for them to continue to carry out this plan that has no possibility of success.
And after the fact, the only thing that can make all mages, no matter what plane they are in, subconsciously ignore these doubts, is the gods who have the authority.
"Not necessarily just counting your empire. ”
He is still calculating the mother of all magic, judging from the fact that the gods like to corrupt others and turn others into their own clones, Jiang Hao feels that the mage named Karthhas may have been secretly turned into his own clone by a certain god, but he doesn't know which god turned Karthas into his own clone.
- Lady of the Night, Lord of Calamity, God of Knowledge, and the mysterious woman?
Although there was no evidence, he felt that these four gods who actively helped the mages create the Shadow Demon Web were the most suspicious.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
Jiang Hao's thoughts were racing, and he took his thoughts back, Jiang Hao didn't have any feelings about what happened to these mages, on the one hand, the mages of the Nessera era were just a piece of history for him, and at most, the word 'brilliant' was added in front of history as a prefix.
On the other hand, he is about to be promoted to god, and he really can't have a good impression of the mages of that era who tried to fight against the gods.
Of course, the fate of these mages of the Nethril era made him more wary of the high gods, these old monsters who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and they could not be guarded against it
"The fourth question is whether the Night Lady has taken the Shadow Fiend. ”
"There is no ....... The old man was still immersed in the shock of 'the collapse of the empire was not caused by his own death, but by someone else's conspiracy', and he didn't notice that this was the fourth problem, "For the Night Lady, getting the information to create the Shadow Demon Network is enough for him to copy a magic net, and there is no need to alarm the mysterious girl in order to save some materials." ”
"After all, since the fall of the Mother of Magic, the mysterious girl born from his corpse has taken over the magic net, and this new god especially hates the shadow demon net created by the great mages back then to replace the magic net, once the shadow demon net leaves the area of influence of the floating city and enters the area covered by the magic net, it will be perceived by the mysterious girl. ”
"And he'll come down as quickly as he did before, and destroy the Shadow Net. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Jiang Hao asked, "How many are there in the Shadow Demon Network?"
"It's not many, it's a lot of nodes. The old man said proudly, "The Shadow Demon Network is the magic network we use to replace the Magic Net, it has a large number of nodes, each node is a complete Shadow Demon Network, as long as any node exists, it will repair itself and restore it into a new Shadow Demon Network, after all, in the fierce battle, the magic net in an area is destroyed, The formation of short-lived areas of death magic is a common thing, and if every area of death magic needs to be repaired on our own initiative after the Shadow Demon Network replaces the magic network, even if all the mages in the empire are sent to repair the shadow magic network. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Jiang Hao suddenly had an idea,
"I can take the Shadow Demon Net to the Blue Star...... There are very few places in your plane that are not covered by the magic net, except for the realm of the gods, even if it is a bottomless abyss, there is a magic net, but the blue star does not have a magic net. ”
It's just that this way, the Shadow Demon Web needs to be kept here, until I take it with me when I leave the Atlas...... Jiang Hao's thoughts turned.
"How can I guarantee that the Shadow Fiend Network will stay here until I take it with me when I return to Blue Star....... ”
He thought about it for a while, and decided to ask the old man to help him guard the Shadow Demon Net.
As an old man who has been in the shadow plane with the Floating City for hundreds of thousands of years and has not been discovered by people and gods other than the Night Lady, the god of knowledge, he is clearly the best candidate.
He cut his vision back to the main plane, then took out the wheel of fortune and weaved a piece of fate,
"Influenced by some unknown factor, the old man chose to be my servant. ”
After doing this, Jiang Hao looked at the old man quietly.
