Chapter 21: The Monument of the Sage
"The Sage's Monument?"
Qin Ran said subconsciously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Well, the Sage's Monument!"
Herbert nodded and said with a sigh.
"What's on it?"
Qin Ran asked again.
After Herbert asked Qin Ran to blow up the Sage's Monument, Qin Ran asked Herbert about the contents of the Sage's Stele, but Herbert was silent.
At that time, Qin Ran was curious about the Sage Monument.
And with the beginning of the dungeon world in front of him, the 'obsession' of the night species and some other monsters to the Sage's Monument made Qin Ran's curiosity quickly turn into a lot of speculation.
After all, an ordinary stone tablet can't make those monsters so obsessed.
Herbert looked at Qin Ran, who was seeking answers, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
However, this time Herbert did not continue to hide it.
"The Monument of the Sage is divided into two parts, each engraved by two men - one for warning, the other for reminders."
"The person who wrote the warning is one of the guardians of the ancient city of Aesop, and the person who wrote the reminder is also the one who founded the ancient city of Aesop!"
"The Warner has recorded in detail what His Majesty the Emperor of the Nick Dynasty has done for his own immortality and world domination: he has the Empire's best alchemists and potions masters study the mysteries of other magic species and immortal species, and they will be transplanted into human beings - the Night Species and the Monkey Monster are inconspicuous products, and they are all failures in all seriousness! What's really scary is ...... Those successes! ā
"These successful products not only became the valuable experience of His Majesty the Emperor's final experiment, but also the most loyal guards of His Majesty the Emperor, making His Majesty's rule over the whole world more and more unbreakable, and any resistance is only a dead end!"
"And the hint?"
"It's the location and spell of His Majesty the Emperor's seal!"
Herbert elaborated.
"Seals?"
Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, and instinctively thought of some guesses.
"It's not what you think!"
"That Emperor was not defeated by anyone else, in fact, in the era of the existence of the Nick Dynasty, no one was able to defeat His Majesty the Emperor, except for ......"
"Himself!"
Herbert shook his head and denied Qin Ran's speculation.
"What His Majesty the Emperor wants is immortality and eternity, but even immortality and magic seeds can't reach the level that His Majesty the Emperor really wants, so he started a more dangerous experiment, and there was an accident in this experiment, so that His Majesty the Emperor had to seal himself up and fall into a deep sleep! And left a loyal guard to wake him up within the appointed time! ā
Speaking of this, Herbert sighed again.
"Don't you tell me that this time happens to be fifteen hundred years ago now?"
Qin Ran asked.
Herbert didn't answer, but the look on his face already said it all.
"Such a coincidence?"
Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.
's suspicious personality made Qin Ran cautious, and also made Qin Ran unwilling to believe in coincidences.
He always thinks that coincidence is a kind of advance layout.
And most of the people who lay out the layout have bad intentions.
"Fate's arrangement!"
"Fate has divided the guardians of the ancient city of Aesop, the descendants of His Majesty the Emperor, and the source of the disagreement comes from the object he cherished most in the first place: the Eye of Kemeris!"
"This brought infinite strength to His Majesty the Emperor, and made His Majesty the Emperor believe that he could obtain an eternal treasure!"
Herbert sighed again, his expression full of helplessness.
"The Eye of Camrys?"
"What is that?"
Qin Ran asked.
When it comes to the secret of [Heart of Fusion], Qin Ran naturally won't let it go.
Unfortunately, the old scholars don't know much about this particular object.
"According to the records on the stone tablet, the Eye of Kemeris was a gift from a witch when His Majesty the Emperor was young, but the exact truth is unknown!"
"You don't believe in such a record?"
Herbert's tone made Qin Ran obviously find a hint of mockery.
"I'm not an old guy who can't eat the past, although I am about the same age, but I know in my heart: history is written by the victors!"
"His Majesty the Emperor is not a beloved man, he may be extremely powerful, but more often than not, he is tyrannical, and the fear formed by the two is awe-inspiring! And the means by which he obtains the goods, he does not need to give them - coercion. Temptation, robbery and other means are more convincing! ā
Herbert said very objectively.
Although Qin Ran did not have any research on the Nick Dynasty like Herbert, he was willing to believe what Herbert said.
An emperor who pursues immortality may not have much.
When power and wealth reach an extreme, such thoughts are inevitable.
However, with the Eye of Kemeris in it, it's a different story.
I've experienced lust firsthand. Qin Ran, the terrifying beast of hope, knew very well that under that kind of pervasive erosion, what would His Majesty the Emperor of the Nick Dynasty become?
I'm afraid that in order to achieve their own goals, they will do whatever it takes.
Don't say what coercion is profitable. Lure, robbery and other means, even if it is to slaughter everyone in the world, as long as the goal can be achieved, His Majesty the Emperor will not blink an eye.
And now?
They'll have to face a bunch of monsters that want to release each other.
It is unknown whether those monsters that are different from the Night Seed will break the seal and release His Majesty the Emperor.
But what the night seeds want to do is certain.
'When the Legion comes, it will be your time of death, and we will be the true rulers of this world......
The words shouted by the captured night seed, Qin Ran had a deeper understanding at this moment.
"Legion?"
"His Majesty the Emperor's guards?"
"Is it confident that the Night Seed will bypass His Majesty the Emperor and control the other party's guards?"
"Or do you have the means to control even His Majesty the Emperor?"
Qin Ran thought to himself.
As the descendants of the guardians left behind by His Majesty the Emperor, the guardians of the ancient city of Aesop undoubtedly knew His Majesty the Emperor best.
Even if some of them become nocturnal.
Therefore, Qin Ran was not surprised that there was any special means.
The simplest, if something happens that the guards left behind can't stop.
For example: what to do if an extremely powerful enemy invades?
Therefore, Qin Ran guessed that His Majesty the Emperor must have left some backhands to prevent such a thing from happening.
Of course, with the approach of His Majesty the Emperor, there will naturally be a limit to the backhand that is left.
But after fifteen hundred years, who can guarantee that the guardians of the ancient city of Aesop, who have partially transformed into night seeds, have not broken through those limitations?
It's as if they had renounced the oath of their ancestors.
"Without absolute control, people's hearts ......"
"It's the least reliable."
Qin Ran sighed softly.
Then he looked up at Herbert.
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't tell me you're in prison, you're really here to hide!"
Qin Ran asked.
"Of course not!"
"Since I've made a mistake, I naturally need to make amends!"
"I still need some time, though!"
"During this time, I hope to be able to continue to hire you to ensure that my research is not disturbed!"
Herbert said solemnly.
"Willing to help!"
Qin Ran also replied solemnly.
And at this time-
Stomp, stomp!
In the sound of hurried footsteps, Rattle, who was holding a pile of things, rushed in.
When he saw those things clearly, Herbert's face instantly turned pale, and Qin Ran's brows also wrinkled together.
