[Fourth update, 12,000]
Nelisse and the Winged Skeleton immediately grabbed Saleen's Demonic Suit. WWw.QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO.COm This demon suit has armor leaves and spikes coming out of it. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with magicians. The hands of Nailis and Winged Skull grabbed two spikes.
Salin held the key in his hand, and before he made any move, he felt his feet were empty, and he had fallen into the boundless starry sky. There was no trace of the Winged Skeleton and Nailis around her. Sara was shocked and entered a huge room in the blink of an eye.
The starry sky just now seemed like an illusion.
Salin didn't understand what method the astrologer used to get him up, but the feeling was similar to entering the teleportation array. It seems that no matter how different the skills are, there are still some things in common.
The layout of this room looks like a study room because there are many bookshelves. There are also a huge number of books on the bookshelf. But next to the window, there was a huge desk with a lot of ore piled on it.
The power of the stars is extremely strong on these ores. Saleen walked closer and searched through the ore, but found no ore he recognized.
However, under the ore pile, Saleen found a ring. The material of the ring was translucent, and stars loomed inside, as if there were billions of stars floating on it. After a brief inspection with his mental power, Salin could only tell that this was a space equipment.
He did not lack space equipment, but space equipment was valuable after all, so Salin casually put it on his finger.
Salin did not immediately go looking for Nailis and Winged Skeleton. The power in this astrological building was beyond his ability to resist. Let alone him, it seemed that the Grand Master and the others did not dare to act wild here.
He walked to the bookshelf, took down the books on it, and flipped through them. He found that the words in these books were the same as what he saw in the Star-Gathering Needle. They were very similar to the ancient Mersi language, and each one was different. Paradoxically, Salin still couldn't understand the words above.
The paper of these books was all star pattern paper. Only then did Salin understand that in ancient times, star pattern paper was not a high-end thing. Salin thought for a while, regardless of whether he could understand all this, he would not be able to enter here easily next time, so he simply put all the books on the bookshelf and the ores on the table into the dimensional stone. Saleen discovered that even people with the level of Grand Master could not discover the things inside the dimension stone.
Saleen did it very thoroughly, even the bookshelves, tables and chairs were filled with a lot of dimension stones. This place is different from the demiplane. Even if he can still come, Salin can't guarantee that he will still be sent to this room.
After putting everything in the study away, Salin opened the door to the study, and outside the door was a larger room. In the room, an old man with white hair and beard looked at Salin with a smile.
Salin's senses didn't realize there was anyone in this room at all. Suddenly seeing the old man appear, Salin subconsciously ignited an orange flame at his fingertips. His flame was formed through the transformation of elements, and flew towards the old man with a flick of his finger.
The old man stretched out his hand and waved, and the orange flame fell into the old man's hand. The old man rubbed the flames in his hands, and the flames spread out and turned into dozens of orange butterflies. The old man raised his hands, and dozens of butterflies condensed from flames flew up, passed through the crystal window, and disappeared into the sea water outside.
The old man's movements were natural and simple, just like a young man passing through the garden with nothing to do.
Salin took a step back in embarrassment and lowered his hands.
The old man was wearing a white robe. The robe looked like silk, but was more delicate and smooth. The lines on it were the star maps Salin had seen the most recently.
The old man glanced at the ring on Salin's hand, smiled and asked, "Do you like my star ring?"
Salin was greatly embarrassed. He didn't find anyone in the room next door, so he ransacked it. If the old man went to check next door, he would find that Salin had packed away all his things. It's not a good feeling to be caught as a thief. Besides, Salin is a magician, not a thief.
"Little guy, what's your expression? Have you taken away everything in the study next door? That's the bad thing about magicians, they are too greedy. They plunder everywhere, hey... "
"Looting everywhere?" Salin was confused by the old man's words. Magicians follow the principle of equal exchange. Even if they face a farmer, they will not forcefully rob others of their things. When the teacher came to his door, he also wanted to buy his own house with gold coins that were higher than the ordinary price.
Back then, the teacher was a fifth-level great magician, and I was a little beggar. Therefore, Salin has always believed that magicians are professionals who pay great attention to fairness.
"Isn't it? But it's not just magicians. Magicians are also instigated by others. Those warriors, those royal families, and those alien races, who don't want to conquer many planes. Why conquer? Of course it is for profit." The old man sighed.
Only then did Salin realize that the old man was talking about what happened back then. Speaking of which, gods are greedy, and humans are not that good either. In the battle with the gods, the human army also flattened many planes, and countless races perished as a result.
The magicians of that era probably did plunder everywhere. The fairness of magicians lies in their transactions with humans. At least when magicians kill monsters to obtain magic cores, they do not follow the principle of equivalent exchange.
Would a magician still discuss with a monster: Give me your magic core? I also need one of your skins, which can be sold for four hundred gold coins. If you agree, I will build a tomb for you...
"Little mage, don't be embarrassed. In fact, I am the same. It is meaningless to understand this kind of thing only after death. By the way, I am not a living person, just a doll with a soul."
The old man said with a smile, and Salin realized that although the old man was breathing and heartbeating, what was flowing under his skin was not blood, but the power of the stars. If the old man hadn't mentioned it, Salin would have thought that this was a human being who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Old sir..."
"Little mage, you don't need to know my name. I made myself into a doll to survive this catastrophe. I really have no shame to meet my former companions. I never want anyone to know my name."
"What about your companion?"
"Most of them are dead. You have been to the Cemetery of Heroes. They all sleep there. Some have gone to other planes and are still fighting the gods. Some are looking for higher planes and trying to survive. .”
"What happened back then!" Salin could not deduce the details from the words of the old man and the souls, but he could also tell that humans had not exterminated the gods, nor had they become entities that ruled the planes. The humans on the continent of Mels have lost even their previous knowledge.
"Back then... Back then, the strong humans had gone too far and could no longer return to the main plane. They opened a higher-level world passage, and the gods took back the planes conquered by humans. For this reason, humans Consider establishing a large dynasty and pooling your strength to fight the gods."
"The results of it?"
"The result is that many races in the plane were massacred by gods because of the departure of strong human beings, so they developed resentment. They were all loyal back then, but when they faced annihilation, humans could no longer help them. They. Except for a few powerful races who still stand with humans, most of the remaining races chose to betray and became believers in the gods."
"This! Was it something before the First Dynasty?" Salin immediately heard from the old man's words a different history from what he knew.
"First Dynasty?"
"A dynasty that unified the continent lasted for perhaps 10,000 to 20,000 years. It is said that the first dynasty fought with the gods and occupied many planes. However, humans now have no way of knowing the facts back then. .”
"That's what happened next. So they unified the continent and established a dynasty?" The old man frowned. The pores on his face were clearly distinguishable, no different from living people. Saleen thought to himself, I don’t know how high a doll like this is. If it could become my own combat weapon...
The old man was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Little Master, do you want to take your destiny into your own hands?"
"You are an astrologer and I am a magician." Salin did not answer directly.
"Magicians are too arrogant and think they can control their destiny, but they don't know that just having power is not enough. What's more, astrologers already know what the supreme rules are. If you learn astrology, you can not only control your own destiny , and can become a unique strong man in this world."
"Supreme Rules?" Salin smiled. As a magician, he disdained anything called supreme. For magicians, the secrets of the world will never be completely mastered, and knowledge will never have an end. Salin believes that the old man's statement that the magician is arrogant is totally wrong.
"At least for all planes in this world, it is the highest rule, the twenty-fourth level rule." The old man didn't care about Salin's expression. Anyway, in their era, few people believed in such a thing.
"What do I need to pay?" Salin couldn't help but ask. The twenty-fourth level rules, at least within the knowledge system he knew, were indeed the supreme rules.
"Give up magic and become a pure astrologer."
"Absolutely." Salin flatly refused.
"Little mage, the power of magic is not much different from astrology."
"There is a difference. It was my teacher who helped me when I was about to starve to death. Even if I die, I will not give up my identity as a mage. I am really sorry. I do seem to be in control of my own destiny. My destiny is magic."
"Without supreme power, how can you control your own destiny?"
"According to you, in the end, only one person can control his own destiny, and everyone else is like an ant, right?"
The old man was speechless. Salin's question only existed in theory, but he couldn't refute it at all. Because once you refute it, it is equivalent to saying that you can control your own destiny without mastering the supreme rules.
"Old sir, I may want to learn the power of astrology, but I will always be a magician." Salin took off the star ring from his hand, placed it on the floor, and stood with his hands hanging down. His meaning was obvious. If the old man forced him to give up his identity as a magician, then everything would be out of the question. V! ~!
