Chapter 25: The Long Road

- Ogres don't eat people, and they laugh at those man-eating monsters?

"The star fell in 834 years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Because of the other party's words, Joshua's expression was a little subtle, he answered the other party's question neatly, thought about it, and the warrior added: "It has been about a thousand years since the Glorious Era, and because there is a period of historical loss of at least three hundred years in the middle, it is impossible to estimate how long it will take." ”

"Starfall, they gave the New Era this name, it turns out that it's been so long...... But in any case, a thousand years later, civilization still exists, and we succeed. ”

Hearing Joshua's answer, the two-headed giant didn't react in surprise, he just sighed lightly, and then walked out of the white crystal cover.

The body of the two-headed giant was huge and strong, even a dragon might not have such strong muscles, and in the stride, the entire basement was visibly shaken, but such a body appeared in the underground laboratory like a phantom through the white crystal shield that claimed to be able to block all filth.

- Just a phantom, but very real, even to the point where it can be faked.

Joshua quickly realized that the god of despair and luck in front of him, who had completely regained consciousness, was still only a phantom in the mist of divine misfortune, a fragment of a fallen god's inscription, and that the missing head might be the wound that caused him to fall.

But even if the other party is a phantom, it is also the shadow of a god, and if it were not for the war with the abyss and the evil god a thousand years ago, he would not have fallen.

"It's not as good as the group of mages in Sky City...... It's not so much worse. ”

Touching the various equipment in the laboratory with his huge hand, the two-headed giant muttered in a rough and deep voice: "However, the interesting thing is that there is a little shadow of the elven secret method in these circles, and there is also the structure of dwarven runes, and it seems that the civilization has merged after the cataclysm." ”

"It's reassuring that the world has regressed, but it has embarked on a new path."

Whispering to himself, the giant turned his head, he looked at Joshua, and whispered: "Maybe the humans have long forgotten my name...... The two-headed giant laughed at himself a little, and shook his head a little freely: "The name of the god who has passed away has no meaning, but you always need a name to call me." ”

"I am a walker in the wilderness, a witness of despair and luck, the lord and shelter of Ogel, a human being, you may call me Ogener."

By the time he said this, the voice of the god named Ogner was already a little illusory, and he stared at Joshua with dark golden eyes: "Human, you have the spirit of the forest and the breath of a sage in you...... You may be the inheritor of one of them, can you tell me their end? And my people, whom you call ogres, have these guys fallen to this point after losing civilization? ”

The luck of being able to recondense consciousness from the shattered divinity of the fog of doom is nothing short of a miracle, and the god of despair and luck who has achieved this miracle seems to have a lot of questions to ask, even if he is now only an illusion, and his curiosity has not been extinguished.

Joshua wasn't very clear about the current situation, but there was no doubt that the self-proclaimed god Ogner had no ill will towards everything around him, and even the black fog that endangered the mage's lives had dissipated, so it would be okay to talk to him.

"I don't know much about the sage, but rather, the vast majority of people in the whole world don't know the name, and only a few know about his existence, but the Father of Nature ......"

After thinking for a while, he slowly finished talking about the Father of Nature, compared to the sages who only had a few words and fragments of memory, after all, the warrior had personally encountered the Father of Nature, so he could naturally say more things.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ As for your flock......"

Speaking of this, Joshua frowned, he couldn't think of how to phrase it for a while, but since the warrior really couldn't hide it, the idea was so obvious that it was even written on his face, so even before he could speak, Ogner already knew the end of his group.

"I should have guessed a long time ago...... The sacrificial crates containing the fragments of my divinity have been placed in the laboratories of the human mages, and you do not have the slightest breath of Ogel on you, proving that you did not kill my people to obtain it. ”

Rather than commenting on the fact that Father Nature had escaped from the world of Mycrof, the two-headed giant calmly analyzed the fate of his people, as if the beings in his mouth were not his people: "They should have perished a long time ago, indeed, under such a disaster, they will definitely not survive."

Although he hid it well, Joshua could still hear a trace of sadness in the other party's calmness, and he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Please forgive me, I originally thought you were an evil god, after all, the fog released in the box is strongly corrosive, and this is not something that a calm and wise being like you would do." ”

He didn't seem to be worried that Ogner would be angry about it, and the old two-headed giant did have an extraordinary calm mind and intelligence, and he thought for a moment about Joshua's question, and then slowly said the answer he guessed: "Perhaps, they performed a blood sacrifice for me. ”

"These little guys probably want to resurrect me, so they've used everything."

Ogna's tone was softened, he looked at his body, and then said in a rough voice: "This is probably the origin of the name of the ogre in your mouth, the resentment of life killed by the blood sacrifice is entangled in this box, and finally brewed into such an accident, plus my priesthood is also desperate, and it is not a good existence itself. ”

Just looking at the appearance, it really doesn't look like a kind existence. Joshua admits that he didn't have a good impression of Ogner at first sight, but subsequent actions prove that the old two-headed giant is wiser than most seemingly intelligent humans.

In the laboratory, there was silence, Ogner looked around at the materials in the laboratory, he also looked at the seven mages who were caught in the dream for a while, and then shook his head in disappointment: "Except for one that is not bad, all the others are not qualified, are the current mages' spirits so fragile?" In my day, they might have peed their pants before they saw the devil. ”

"What happened a thousand years ago......

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help frowning and muttered to himself, "The Father of Nature didn't fight to the end, he took the other elves to the other world halfway, how did the sages and other gods defeat the Abyss Demon and the Chaos Evil God?" ”

"A thousand years ago? It was a time of despair. ”

After stopping his exploration, Ogner turned his head and repeated Joshua's question, and he shook his head and replied, "Although he didn't fight to the end, the Father of Nature didn't lie to you, and what He said was true." ”

Speaking of this, the two-headed giant's eyes were a little confused, his dark golden eyes flickered, and even the second head with only one phantom was shaking slightly, as if he was reminiscing.

"This world was once so prosperous, with so many races and nations working together to explore the voids and worlds in the multiverse, that even my fellow citizens had a civilization to boast of under the leadership of a two-headed wise man like me."

Remembering softly, Ogner sighed slowly, the god of despair and luck did not seem to have the majesty of a god at this time, and he laughed at himself, "So we are arrogant. ”

"Arrogance can indeed destroy all glory, and the space-time portal created by the joint creation of the races is linked to the abyss, and the evil from the primeval and the chaos of the void are all attacked, and the prosperous world is in danger in an instant."

"The gods, as the guardians of the world and the witnesses of civilization, naturally want to fight against them, and under the leadership of the sages, we have fought against the primeval evil creatures in the abyss for several years, during which countless gods and demigods have fallen and died, including me."

"To your disappointment, I may have died sooner than the Father of Nature fled, and I don't know exactly what the battle will end up with."

After Ogner said this, he couldn't help but wonder a little: "Could it be that you have lost the history of the last era?" Didn't even a single god survive? Since in the end we are victorious, there will be gods who will not let civilization forget this painful lesson. ”

"And even if the god of the earth and the ruler of the sky die, even if the incarnation of the sea and the protector of all life falls, the sage will never die, his power is beyond the gods, he has reached the realm of existence, he is an immortal sage, even if the world is destroyed, he can survive alone."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But the fact is that there are no gods from the previous era, and all races, including humans, are redeveloped civilizations. ”

After a moment of silence, Joshua replied in a deep voice, his expression serious, for the words of the two-headed giant also reminded him.

In the last era, since the world of McCrove was victorious, there should have been some immortal gods who survived, but the current situation is that all the gods, including the seven gods of the human race, were born after being lost for three hundred years, and the existence of the sage was a mystery from the beginning, no one knew where he went, and no one knew whether he fell or was still alive.

And the gods that Ogner mentioned have indeed fallen, the mist of the god of the earth [Rock Mountain Giant], the mist of the god of the sky ruler [Celestial Wild], and the mist of the god of the ocean incarnation [Circumocean Sea Breeze]...... The imprints of these gods after their death are located in the Boundless Heavens, and when the Great Demon Tide descends in the future, they will appear in this world.

The lost three hundred years have brought together all the mysteries, the disappearance of the gods, the traces of the sages, too much history has been lost, even in the previous life, no one knows the secrets, the second invasion of the abyss has caused countless ancient texts to be burned by the demonic fire of hell, and the ruins that have been preserved for thousands of years have been ravaged by the iron hooves of the demons, causing a larger historical fault.

At this point, Ogner's body became a little more illusory.

Both Joshua and Himself discovered this.

After all, the god of despair and luck is long gone, and what exists at this time is only a divine doppelganger that he placed in the sacrificial box, and because of the extraordinary, miraculous luck, it has been able to reappear, and now, this fleeting miracle has come to an end.

"Satisfied, awakened for the last time, knowing the outcome of the victory in the war, my sacrifice was not in vain, the sacrifice of my people and friends was not in vain."

He smiled, and the wrinkles on the old two-headed giant's face folded, revealing a satisfied smile: "I have fallen in despair, but I did not expect to be so lucky to reappear in the world, knowing the end of everything. ”

Not paying attention to his illusory form, Ogner looked down at Joshua, and said to himself in a rough and deep voice, "What's on the other side of that mountain?" What's on the other side of that sea? What's on the other side of that star? ”

"β€”Life is born in the world precisely to understand these things."

"This is true of human beings, and so are we, if we do it again, I think whoever it is, even the sages themselves, will open the door of time and space again."

The illusory god didn't seem to say to the warrior, but to himself: "Exploring the unknown is our reason for existence and motivation, even if there is endless chaos in front of us, we will raise the torch of civilization and move forward in the darkness, a long road, someone will be able to walk through." ”

After sighing, Ogner's dark golden eyes were brighter than ever, at this time, like a true god, exuding a majesty that people couldn't help but worship, although the tall body of the two-headed giant became more and more illusory, but there was a glimmer of brilliant light circulating on his blue skin, and he said in a tone with a slight echo, as if it was said by two heads at the same time: "My time is running out, young and fortunate warrior, I can see that you have many questions to ask, and your curiosity is burning."

"There is no need to suppress this desire, I am a departed being, the dead will not stand in the way of the living, as long as I know, I will answer this question for you."

To this, Joshua was silent.

He was silent today more than in a month.

And Ogna waited calmly, waiting for the warrior to think, he was long dead, he didn't care about anything in the world now, this young human in front of him had seen the Father of Nature, and he also had the breath of a sage in his body, and he was lucky to stand in front of him when he woke up, then this may mean some kind of fate.

The Euger race believes in fate, everything is predestined, and all life can do is to find its own luck in despair, as He did.

"I want to know ......"

After thinking for a short time, but also a long time, Joshua spoke, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking seriously, and he hesitated: "I want to know, something about the gods. ”

How to become a god? It's normal for any human being to be power-hungry to ask this question. The warrior's question did not surprise Ogel, who already had a draft in his mind, waiting for Joshua to ask it thoroughly.

"I've been wondering about this for a long time, and I've been holding it back for almost ten years."

And the warrior didn't hesitate for long, he frowned, and asked crisply, "Why do many gods have the opposite priesthood?" Aren't they afraid of schizophrenia? ”

Ogner: "What did you say?" ”
