Chapter 961: An Unexpected Mission
"I really don't remember exactly, so let's wait a while, I'll go check the information." As he spoke, Saleen stood up and pushed open a door on the wall, and it was completely chaotic, so dark that he could barely see anything.
He didn't care about any of this, he just walked in and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Obviously, this is a portal to other planes or universes, and there are many similar portals in the Seal City, it is said that there are too many to count, and at the beginning of the birth of any world, a connecting passage will be created in a corner of the city, maybe behind a door, or behind a window or a wall.
In short, don't make a fuss when walking around this strange city and find someone who has suddenly disappeared, either summoned by a spell or accidentally stumbled into a portal to another place.
Henry doesn't know if Earth also has a portal in Seal City, but it is certain that it has a certain connection to the world in which it is currently located, and according to the documents remaining in the Imasca Empire, they once opened an interdimensional portal and plundered a large number of slaves from another world, much like the inhabitants of the two river valleys on Earth in ancient times.
The most important thing is that among these captured slaves, there are so-called mortals with great power, which sounds very similar to the genetic modification technology of the invaders mentioned in the opposite direction, maybe the place where the Imaska Empire arrived was Earth, but the invaders did not want to fight head-on, so they did something to the humans.
As a result, it was these hands and feet that led to the birth of two entire god systems in the Faeron Continent, one of which was extremely similar to the myth of Surme. The other is the same as Egyptian mythology.
They are so similar. Even the name of the god is exactly the same......
Coincidental?
Obviously. Henry didn't think so.
As a typical conspiracy theorist, he thinks the whole thing should be like this, firstly, the Imaska Empire has lost a large number of people after the plague, so it decided to use powerful teleportation technology to plunder slaves in another world, and the Earth seemed to have no supernatural powers at the time, which happened to be the best target.
The invaders found that the strength of the Strange Mechanic was very strong, and it was a bit difficult to fight hard, so they secretly used genetic technology to create several clones. Then quietly mixed in the crowd, and when he came to the Faren Continent, he began to familiarize himself with the rules here, and then transformed his own power into divinity, leading the slaves to revolt, while integrating himself into the system, and finally overthrew the Imaska Empire, which had no protection from the gods, and became a high god.
Of course, it is also very doubtful that after the establishment of the two states, the rulers blocked all contact with the outside world according to the instructions of the gods. At the same time, he obliterated all the qiē of the Imasca Empire.
Perhaps the clones who had become gods were afraid that they would be discovered by the main body to become the secrets of the gods, so they completely destroyed the interdimensional teleportation technology. Prevent the powerful invaders on Earth from setting their sights on the world of Torrell.
Although these are just speculations, Henry feels in his heart that this must be true, if he is not afraid of revealing his origins, he really wants to go to the east to talk openly and honestly with the gods of the two gods, after all, according to his current strength, he already has the qualifications to negotiate with the gods.
While Henry was thinking, Saleen walked through the portal with a piece of parchment and reappeared in the room.
He directly shook the paper full of encrypted words, and said with a smile: "Found it, a record obtained from the Imaska people of the Abyss a long time ago, most of the situation is similar to what you said, but the people there do not have too strong alchemy, and many techniques are at a very primitive level. ”
As soon as he heard the origin of the paper, Henry's eyes suddenly began to shine, and he nodded without hesitation: "That's right, it should be it." This record is thousands of years old, and after so much development, it has become completely different from what it used to be. Now please open the conditions, what do you have to do before you give me the above information? ”
The Imaska of the Abyss are the remnants of the lost empire of Imaska, and in order to keep themselves and their families safe, they have escaped underground, completely isolating themselves from the surface and other races, and holding some ancient secrets.
"Hehe, when you came, Lawalker must have told the rules here, right?" Salin asked with a narrowed smile in his eyes.
"Yes, if you want to get any news from the Council, you have to complete a task first. I'm ready, and you can begin to command. ”
Although Henry wanted to snatch the parchment at the moment, reason told him that it was absolutely impossible to do so, so he forcibly suppressed the urge to do it directly, and waited for the other party's reply with a frown.
Salin was obviously a straightforward person, hesitated slightly, and quickly said, "Very well, since you know the rules, then I don't need to explain more." Now there's a dangerous mission, according to our spies, an Atropal is sealed in the ruins of some half-plane, and your mission is to get some of its blood and limbs from it. ”
"Atropal !! Damn it! You actually let me deal with a god! Henry's face changed a little in surprise.
Atropal, also known as the Atrophy, is said to be a stillborn birth of a god who became pregnant, and looks like a human stillborn, but its combat power is feared even by the gods.
It is a god with the characteristics of an undead creature, which is more difficult to deal with than ordinary gods, and at the same time hates a living thing, and will never stop killing unless it is killed or sealed.
In terms of strength, this guy is not inferior to the incarnation of a god at all, and even stronger, coupled with the terrifying regeneration ability, as long as he is not beaten to pieces once, it will be completely resurrected in a few minutes.
In addition, Atropal may also command an army of undead creatures, perhaps it looks crazy, but its intelligence far exceeds that of most mages, and it is good at all kinds of tactics and deception, and many adventurers basically die at the light of the enemy after seeing it at first sight.
"That's right, I just want you to deal with a god, I believe it shouldn't be difficult for a spellcaster who can kill a god, right?" Salin asked rhetorically with a calm face.
There was no doubt that he already knew Henry's true identity, otherwise he would never have come up with such a terrifying mission.
"Why? Why do you have to provoke the sealed Atropal? Henry narrowed his eyes at the other.
He could sense that there must be something hidden behind this matter, after all, the gods did not mean that they were defeated and defeated, and even the gods themselves had to pay a price for dealing with them.
Glancing at the depressed scene outside the window, Salin gently rubbed his eyebrows and explained, "Quite simply, I'm planning to use a part of its body to make weapons against enemies who often come to make trouble. These guys have been getting more and more rampant lately, and if they continue like this, the situation with the Council will be very bad, and I have heard that they have made a pact with the marauder Shemisaka, so it is necessary to do everything possible to stabilize the form. ”
"Shemisaka?" Henry muttered a whisper of underestimation, vaguely feeling as if he had heard someone say the name on the street.
"That's right, Shemisaka the Marauder, a High Yogros Demon and Queen of the Underworld of Market City. She has compiled a vast intelligence network, with at least five or more spies planted in each faction, ready to deal a deadly blow to any faction whenever she wants. I suspect that the siege of the Revolutionary League and the Chaos Society was instigated by her. ”
At the mention of this skilled demon, Salin instantly became furious, and in his eyes, people like Shemishaka the Marauder who sold information and stirred up disputes should be put to death, and only then could the world be more harmonious.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Henry roughly understood the predicament that the Association was in now, and was also a little surprised that the devil could get such classified information.
You must know that 90% of the things made from a part of the gods are likely to be artifacts, and the other 10% are also legendary items, and with the special properties of Atropal, there is no doubt that it is related to necromancy or evil undead.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, he looked up and asked, "Are you sure you can determine the coordinates of that universe by the contents of this parchment?" ”
Salin didn't think about it, and nodded directly: "Yes, the specific process is clearly recorded above, you just need to create a large enough portal." ”
"Okay, I'll take the task. Now that I have all the relevant information, I need to assess the hazard level and prepare in advance. ”
Tempted by the coordinates of the earth, Henry finally agreed, knowing full well that the battle might be thrilling, but not enough to threaten his own life.
"Very well, this is the address of the portal to that half-plane, and if you go to the door with this letter, someone will naturally tell you how you should go. Also, you'd better be careful when you go out, as there have been a lot of killers and assassins near the barracks lately, and they will attack everyone who walks out of the main entrance. With that, Salin placed the note and letter on the table, and went back to his work, not to speak again.
After a slight sigh, Henry picked up the note and glanced at it, and immediately turned around with the letter and walked towards the door. He wasn't going to rush into a fight with a god, there was still a lot of preparation to be done before that, especially the things to restrain the undead must be prepared.
Atropal is not an easy enemy to deal with, all kinds of necromantic spells are very troublesome, plus it can absorb the opponent's physique, it is basically equivalent to a small strong who can't be killed, and even legendary magic may not be able to kill it. (To be continued......)
