Chapter 940: The Lost Legend (Part II)
The Evergreen Hermitage, although it sounds like a secret cult organization, but in fact, their earliest members should be the secret action units that are in charge of intelligence, reconnaissance, exploration, VIP protection and even assassination under the Elven Forbidden Army system, and they are all devout believers and divine warriors of the god of nature, Sephastion, to put it bluntly, they are a group of assassins who are supported by the government and the church to enjoy the status and treatment of the king's guards and paladins. Of course, we all know that the real "assassin" is the one who can rush into the crowd with two slices of knives and play counter-charge against multiple heavily armored enemy units. Therefore, these ancient elven forbidden army elites are not only hooligans who can climb over walls, drill ditches, climb dog holes, and wipe their necks, but also can ride a thousand arrogant and extremely arrogant in a frontal war, and even hang buff grandma blood to the surrounding allies when they are tired......
Lu Xi felt that if he was the last queen of the mortal elves, it would be impossible for him to abandon such an important force in the face of such a major battle. Even if their number is limited, everyone can open a peerless strong army in the world, even if there are only a few hundred horsemen, it is enough to play a huge role in the battlefield of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
Unless they have greatly offended Her Majesty, which is too unlikely...... Or maybe they have something else on their shoulders, one that is far more important than participating in the mortal "Last Battle".
"The essence of the Evergreen Hermitage is to gather information!" The head of this generation's hermitage, Elder Nickfurs, said calmly, "And the last royal order we accept is to find out the mystery of the death of the goddess Fein, the real mystery. ”
Although he had already expected a certain amount, Lu Xi still couldn't help but open his mouth: "Then, have you found out?" ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he regretted it a little. I feel that I am too unstable and too low. You need to know that if the other party really finds out, I'm afraid that so many things won't happen later.
"We can only be sure that Belatmeia, the King of Nightmares, is by no means the murderer of the goddess Fein." The Elder's tone was still indifferent, but it was unmistakably categorical. He looked at Lu Xi's puzzled eyes and groaned. Only then did he say: "We managed to go to the Heavenly Palace in person to meet the Holy See of Pallas, the goddess of wisdom......"
Well, in that interesting mythological era, since mortals could break through the boundaries between life and death, and reach the deepest part of the underworld in the form of a living person, they could also break the barrier between gods and mortals under extreme circumstances, and come beyond the sea of clouds to reach the place where the gods lived.
"If even the Holy See of Pallas could not see through the truth, there would be no existence in the world. We thought we could get the real answer from her. Yet......" Nick Furs sighed heavily, "the reality of the world is overshadowed by a terrible haze, and even the wise eyes of the goddess Pallas, who can see through the past and the future, cannot see the truth of the matter. In other words, all the people and things that are extremely closely related to this incident are completely beyond the scope of the Female Throne's grasp. ”
This is the so-called heavenly obscuration, right? Well, that's a really visual statement. From the perspective of the flood flow, this is the precursor to the imminent outbreak of the Great Tribulation, and it is indeed the case. Lu Xi's brows couldn't help frowning.
"Still. If you judge by common sense, maybe there is Sister Bi Pallas...... Belch. The more powerful and evil forces of the Holy See of Pallas have clouded the line of fate, leaving her at a loss. Well, if there is an evil being more powerful than the goddess Pallas...... It seems to be the only one, right? ”
Rafafil, the Lord of the Void, represents the root of all evil in destruction and chaos, and the old demon who is the number one in this world. In the age of mythology, even the sun god Hetes was the maintainer and guardian of the world order. The King of the Gods and the King of All Worlds can only barely fight him if they have gathered the strength of the vast majority of gods and even countless mortals.
"We think so too." The elder smiled, but sighed helplessly: "However, at that time. Rafafil did not come into the world, or rather, at least not officially. Even if it is a god, few people know of his existence. At that time, we didn't think about that aspect. ”
This is the flowery point of thinking, no, the blind spot. Lu Xi sighed.
"However, under the guidance of the Holy See of Pallas, we went to the Temple of Destiny again......"
Another legendary place to go. Lu Xi thought to himself, the adventure he was proud of was really nothing in front of this old man. The other party is indeed qualified to say things like, "Everyone here is garbage."
The so-called Temple of Destiny is, of course, not a temple ruled by a few goddesses who are spinning in our imagination, but an information terminal in a material form derived from the branches of fate in the World Tree into the main plane - well, what a mouthful. In short, you just need to know that this is a mysterious temple, and even the gods will find it difficult to find its trace. However, if you can find and enter it, you will be able to find the root and development of destiny through the power of the World Tree, and explore the development and changes of the past and the future. In addition, individuals in the main material plane can also break through the barriers of the dimension through the Temple of Destiny, touch the truth of the World Tree, and explore the origin and truth of the core of the world. The goddess Pallas at that time also became the first existence in the world to come into contact with the essence of the World Tree through that temple.
"It's been a tough journey! Most of our comrades fell in search of the Temple of Destiny, and when we finally arrived at the temple, it was time for the final battle to begin. The expression and tone of the forbidden army of the Ancient Elven Empire were very calm, but he did not hide the hidden sighs and vicissitudes in his tone. Even after 10,000 years, even if he had lost the body and form of a living person, he could not guarantee that perfect state of peace.
"But we still succeeded. Now that we think about it, we should be the first mortals to touch the Temple of Destiny and the World Tree, right? But at that time, none of the comrades-in-arms realized that they had made history. The elder smiled self-deprecatingly, "We can't break the barriers of law and truth through the Temple of Destiny like the Holy See of Pallas, and face the true form of the World Tree, but we can also pass through the Temple of Destiny. That is, the branches of the World Tree, deriving certain laws. ”
"So, did you find it?"
The elder nodded mysteriously at first, but then shook his head bitterly, and his expression switched seamlessly—Lu Xi said that he was just a handful of people who were old, and they were old-timers in the era of the gods. And for the sake of the ghosts who are already dead. If others dared to talk to themselves in such a pretended manner, they would have called out a big ear scraper—and then, the old ghost, in a complicated tone of helplessness and relief, said faintly, "To be exact, the only thing we can be sure of is that Belat Maya, the King of Nightmares, is indeed innocent. ”
Sure enough...... Lu Xi was not surprised. When he first read this history, he felt that the demonic spirit was so great that he couldn't look at it directly.
There's no way, after all, he is in that era when there are a lot of brain-dead people who have been fooled by a few words and even have three views, but there are more people who like to peel their skins and dig graves and slap their faces. As a newtype new human being with a modern dialectical class materialist view of history. What I like most is to judge the truth of historical records through the most red realism and the principle of class interests, all of whom are hopelessly born conspiracy theorists. This kind of person, in this era with the heroic view of history as the main body, should still be quite annoying, right?
Well, fortunately, the protagonist's appearance is high enough, his temperament is good enough, and he can act, so his popularity is still specially prepared.
"Of course. Maybe it's because of the strength, maybe it's because of the humble mortals like us. There is simply not enough wisdom and realm to comprehend the great true meaning of the torrent of fate that represents the truth. In short, we can't grasp the whole process of that conspiracy through the change of the fate line......" Speaking of which, even if 10,000 years have passed, the old man's mouth still carries obvious pain and helplessness. This is not just from remorse, but more from a kind of sadness that comes from one's own powerlessness. It makes people feel more hopeless.
"We can't find the thread of fate that represents Goddess Fein, and from the information we get from the Temple of Fate, it's as if she never existed in the world. Perhaps, as the Holy See of Pallas said, there is a more powerful and evil force. It has turned into a haze that obscures fate and time, and people have nowhere to look. However, the only consolation is that we have found Belatemea's whereabouts, and through the large-scale astrological magic, we have deduced some shocking truths. ”
"The shocking truth? Before and after the accident of the goddess Fin, did Belat Meya have a perfect alibi, such as playing the most bang game of the goddess with a group of hunk men, so she was able to find more than nine dozen witnesses? Uh, I'll you, look at your expression, I can't be right, right? ”
Mr. Elder may not have adapted to Lu Xi's brain hole and the rhythm of his words, and he was suddenly a little confused, and Kirit hurriedly laughed twice and said, "That, although I don't understand what the hell is the most snapping game of the goddess you said, but it's definitely not like that." Of course, the fact that she has a perfect alibi is something you guessed. ”
"Belatemea was attending the feast of the Holy See of Aphrodite...... Well, as you know, this Holy See is a very hedonistic lord, and the banquets are often held for decades at a time. At that time, Belat Mea never left. The elder added.
Well? It turned out to be a feast of the gods? What's the difference between this and playing the most snapping game of the goddess? Of course, the fact that the Holy Spirit and the Demon God were able to feast together in such harmony may sound like a contradiction now, but in mythological times it was not a strange thing. It must be known that at that time, the gods were not divided, and the Holy Spirit and the Demon God were also divided by later mortals without authorization.
At that time, even Ramhid, the Lord of Calamity, the Lord of Demons, had the official position of the Heavenly Palace, and had a position in the first three rows of the banquet of the gods held by the Sun God. Of course, this member of the first three rows always wants to march into the main plane with his own people, and he is often beaten by His Majesty the God King, which is another story. However, although they love and kill each other, they are not completely torn apart in essence, and they regard each other as mortal enemies.
In this case, the Nightmare King, who is also a hedonist, has a pretty good relationship with Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, and it's not completely difficult to accept......
Of course, in Lu Xi's opinion, the more harmonious and friendly these two goddesses are on the face, the more they may tear up in essence. To know. It's too low to tear up this kind of thing in person, only a third-rate shrew can do it, how can two goddess sisters with high divine power be so self-defeating? However, after the outbreak of the War of the Gods, there have been several major battles between the two, although neither of them has been able to help the other. However, it did affect a lot of flowers and plants around and innocent onlookers. This is actually a good proof of their relationship.
"But it's just a snap...... Uh, no, a feast of the sea and sky may not fully prove Belat Mea's innocence, right? With the scheming of this master, it is completely possible to start the layout a hundred years in advance. Lu Xi said.
"Yes, we have such doubts. However, you also know that information is determined by deduction. It's all very vague words. The information we've come up with doesn't fully identify the Nightmare King's role in this matter, but it's certain that she's not directly involved, at least...... And," the elder pondered for a moment, then sighed and shook his head, "we have received a proverb from the fate stream of the World Tree that tells us that Belat Mea's existence will be the secret of our final battle, the battle of the gods, one day in the future. and a key figure in the roots of destruction in the Age of Mythology. ”
"The source of destruction in the age of mythology? The death of the goddess Phyllum and the madness of the Golden King are nothing more than the temptation of Europe. When it comes to the roots, it's just the King of the Void who is the No. 1 old devil in the sky, right? …… Are you going to tell me that one day, if someone can defeat the King of the Void, they will need Belatmea's help? Or will the eldest sister directly incarnate as a hero and go into battle to save the world herself? Lu Xi couldn't help but be happy all of a sudden: "Hmm." Essentially, if it's really such a setting, once you accept it, you still feel quite emotional. ”
"I also think it's a little incredible...... However, the proverbs obtained from the Temple of Destiny cannot be wrong.
Can't go wrong really? Didn't you simply find a clue to the fate of Goddess Fein? Lu Xi didn't say anything. But looking at each other's gaze is a little subtle.
The old ghost should have seen Lu Xi's subtext, and there was a hint of helpless sourness in his smile: "In such an era of almost despair, we have no other choice but to believe it." We didn't fully find out the truth, but at least we could prove that the beginning of the war was a mistake, so we left the Temple of Destiny to prevent the outbreak of the Final War......"
You guys are naïve. The war has reached such an extent that both sides are already red-eyed, how can a mere "truth" stop it? Although Lu Xi thought so, he asked himself, if the person concerned was himself, I am afraid he would have made the same choice, right? How can a drowning person care if he catches a branch or thatch?
"However, on the way, we were intercepted by the High Demon Legion under the command of the Lord of Calamity, led by Ramhid's right and left hand, Orondar the Prime Minister of the Abyss." The elder looked at the evergreen star placed on the table, and let out a heavy sigh mixed with many complicated emotions: "Your Excellency the regimental commander died in that battle, and the evergreen star was also left on the battlefield. ”
Perhaps it was the great battle that left the old ghost with too many sad and painful memories, and he was reluctant to mention too much. However, although it was only a few words, it was enough to make Lu Xi feel deep sadness.
"Sure enough, the Lord of Calamity is also the mastermind of this matter, at least one of the masterminds behind it." Lu Xi nodded: "This is indeed very in line with his usual style." Wanting to make his clan demon the master of the main plane is a dream he has had since the early days of the mythological era, but unfortunately every time he acts, he is beaten by the sun god and his old people. It is only possible to achieve this goal by muddying the waters, and even allowing the King of the Thigh Void to descend. ”
Of course, even if most of the gods led by the sun god fell, the old devil still did not succeed, and during the Qiming War, he was beaten by a group of "mortals" and fled back to the endless abyss, and even the bloodthirsty king of his good friends didn't have time to care...... For the Calamity King, whose obsession has spanned tens of thousands of years from the age of mythology to the present, his life is really full of poignant tragedies.
"When we broke through the siege and arrived in the Field of the Holy Spirit, we were still nearing the end of the battle. Before we could get the news that our king had fallen, we met Belat Mea, who had fled the battlefield, and King Gilsarad, who was in pursuit. We stopped both sides, but we didn't know what to do......" The old elf raised his "ghostly" translucent hand, looked at his fingers, and showed a bitter, helpless, self-deprecating, remembrance, and embarrassing smile. Before this, it was really hard for Lu Xi to imagine that there were so many complex emotions mixed with just one expression, making the people around him fall down with his emotions......
"That's how our fate and existence have come to this day." (To be continued.) )
