Countries have rise and fall, and dynasties have changed. This is an eternal truth no matter which world. It is also because of this that there will be a colorful history. But for the ancient Austin Empire, there was no colorful history when it ended. The element, but a black mass, filled with various mysteries.
Both the Turin change and the death of Charles Aqiman are full of mystery, and the appearance of Caroline and his relationship with Charles now add to the chaos of this history and make Roja fundamentally There is no clear clue.
In the final analysis, there was already little information about events thousands of years ago, and Roja, who was scarcely of intelligence, could only guess according to logic in the past. However, as the saying goes, Roja now has the opportunity to understand the mystery of the happy years.
After Paul’s hundreds of charges, Caroline seemed to have lost the will to fight, and Estrede, the living antique ancestor, was in front of her again. Under Paul’s confession, she seemed to have known the past. The story of Emperor Charles Aqiman.
For this reason, Roja checked Alisa and confirmed that the silver-haired girl was okay, and immediately asked questions, while Estherid and Antonio nodded after looking at each other.
"I see, originally I wanted Paul to tell you in person, but now they seem to be busy over there, so let's do it for us."
"It's more convenient for us to say it. After all, it's not a good thing. It's also very difficult for the person involved to tell it personally."
Looking at the exhausted Paul and Caroline in the distance and talking about something, Estherald sighed and turned to look at Roja, then his eyes flickered slightly for a while.
"But before that, Roja, I want to ask some of your thoughts."
"mine?"
"Yes, how are you prepared to respond to the prediction of the next destruction?" Website m. .
"this... ... "
Suddenly hearing such a big subject, Roja was a bit speechless for a while and didn't know where to start, but Estrede sighed after thinking for a moment, and said again:
"Forget it, I know you better than Caroline, so I just asked... Roja, what do you think of Mother God?"
"!"
Roja couldn’t help but widened his eyes slightly when he heard Estrid’s blunt words, while the head of the academy, Antonio, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but looked at Estrid’s serious eyes, and finally Still didn't dare to interrupt.
Under such circumstances, there was a moment of silence between the three, and Roja also understood that he really had to explain the problem.
As Caroline said before, the breath of the mother goddess on Roja is too heavy. This kind of breath is hard to detect for ordinary people, even for top powerhouses like Antonio, but Alder of the last era Family members are extremely sensitive to this kind of breath.
"My ancestor, I am not an apostle of the Mother God, I can guarantee this."
"Well, I believe this, otherwise I won't talk to you here, but what do you think of the mother goddess?"
"this... ... "
Hearing such a specific question from Estrede, Roja moved his lips and couldn't answer it for a while.
Recalling the past moments with the mother goddess, as well as her care and gifts, the first word that came to Roya's mind was mother, but this word is really hard to say, and I guess Estreide can't accept it. .
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya, who had considered a lot of thoughts, spoke carefully:
"I think it is possible for the mother goddess and us to reach a reconciliation, or even a relationship of mutual trust. In other words... Has the ancestor Astrid ever seen the information about the mother god in my memory in a dream? "
"There are indeed some, but they are all fragments that cannot be connected. Even dreams have their limits. I know what happened in the historical fragments four hundred years ago, mainly because it is related to me. Others that have nothing to do with me are difficult. The collection is so complete."
"That's it."
Roja nodded when he heard Estrede’s explanation, and then told her about what happened in the historical segment guided by the Acate’s ring. Antonio and Estrede’s eyes widened when they heard these. It was a big shock.
"So, is that ring actually used for this purpose? It's incredible."
"Ancestor Estrede, do you know that ring?"
"Well, I know it. I saw it once when I was young, but its history is too long. No one knows the specific role of it in my time. I only know that it is very precious. It was the ancestors who dealt with destruction. Prepared for the prophecy."
As she said so, Estrede had a look of nostalgia, and Roja nodded, expressing understanding.
The one who made this ring is undoubtedly the sages who chose the royal family in ancient times, but the function of this ring is too shocking, and there is absolutely no way to tell, otherwise it will definitely be attacked by the believers of the savior and the mother god. Scramble.
It is indeed a wise move to talk about importance, not role. To a certain extent, it is precisely because of this that has allowed him to escape several calamities. relation.
"If this is the case, it is inevitable for you to feel close to the mother goddess, but unfortunately, for our generation, there is no such opportunity, and the ideas are completely different. We have always believed that the savior and the mother god are absolute enemies. "
"No, actually I was like this before..."
Hearing what Estrede said, Roja showed an understanding expression on his face, not strange to the concept of the ancestors.
Although the believers of the savior and the Alder family have blood feuds, because of personal experience, it was the mother god who was more hostile to Roja in the beginning.
Whether it was the cultists of the Holy Trinity Society or Isabella's sacrifice, it caused a great impact on Roja at the time, and the existence of [Six Plagues] and the gaze of the Mother God made him even more like walking on thin ice.
At that time, if someone told Roya that he would look at the same mother and child as his mother in the future, Roya, who was under great pressure, would immediately suspect that the other party was a cultist, and if he was excited, he might break the human brain.
After [Hidden Mist] caused the Tucker Fortress tragedy, shocked the human world and severely affected Noelle’s promotion. Charlotte was also on the verge of death due to [Six Plagues]. For all these reasons, Roja At that time, it can be said to be hateful to the mother god and her camp.
But after truly understanding everything, knowing that the mother god and the [Six Plagues] are not a whole, and her own hatred for the election of the king was also due to some reasons, some of Roja's thoughts gradually changed, especially when she was being taken care of. That time.
The more he understands the mother god, the more he feels the true emotions under her cold appearance, the more Roja feels that the hatred of the two sides is a tragedy, and that human beings and her are not hostile, and they can coexist completely.
With these ideas in mind, Roja, Caroline and others are naturally different, and they have disagreements, but now it seems that these disagreements have been resolved.
"Ancestor Estrede, your thinking has changed a little, right?"
"That's right, but for Caroline, I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult to accept. After all, her experience is quite special."
As she said this, Estherald looked at Caroline in front of him, and then explained the details of the final plan to Roja.
-------------------------------------------------- --------
The final plan. This concept was first mentioned in the BC and the middle of the second era. It is quite a long time for the current Roja, and its original purpose is also very clear, which is to weaken the savior and mother god through possible means. , So that human beings can survive.
It's just that Luo Ya's surprise is that the final plan is actually not one in history, but there are many versions.
If the king-choosing clan that has existed since ancient times is compared to an independent country, then the patriarch can be said to be the king, and the king’s ideals and state of the country may affect this final plan to a certain extent. National policy.
For example, in the first heyday of the Alder family after the unified mankind established the empire, the people at that time were extremely united and self-confidence was also very strong. The final plan formulated in that era was more ambitious and radical and required extremely strong mobilization capabilities.
After searching for [Chaos Dream], the members of the first generation of Twilight Sages paid a huge price, sad and negative emotions inevitably spread in the hearts of everyone, and the Patriarch of that generation also drastically revised the original plan.
After that, each Patriarch will improve and adjust the final plan according to the actual situation. At the end of the Second Age, the strength of the Alder family fell to its lowest point, the twilight sage would fall apart, and the Aqiman clan would also fall into civil strife. The ancient empire was crumbling.
To run the final plan, whether it is hard power or mobilization, the empire at the end of the second era was not up to standard, and therefore the final plan was abandoned. However, at the time of the turbulent wind and rain, a person used it as a blueprint. A new improvement plan was introduced, and that person was Charles Aqiman.
"In the past philosophy, both the savior and the mother god are absolute enemies, and the final plan is often to fight on two fronts, but Charles's plan has changed."
"What's the change?"
"Just use the power of one to attack the other."
"Does this... mean letting the savior and the mother god attack each other? This does not require a plan, right?"
Hearing what Estrede said, Roja asked this question in confusion, but Antonio shook his head when he heard the words.
"No, Charles' plan is actually to absorb the power of the savior and cultivate new gods to defeat the mother goddess."
"what?"
The moment the unexpected thought came to his ears, the black-haired boy couldn't help his eyes widening. He looked at Antonio who was saying this, and the stormy sea was rolled up in his heart for a while.
Cultivating gods
God, is this something that can be cultivated
The young man who was thinking this way was puzzled, and at the same time a bigger question was also generated in his mind, that is, the previous sentence "absorb the power of the savior".
Indeed, if the policy is to suck one and the other, and insist on choosing one between the savior and the goddess to absorb power, then you can only choose the savior, because the bottomless abyss where the savior is located was sealed by the Alder clan back then, and it is in them. Under the management of, and the space where the Mother God is so far no one can find and cannot enter.
But the problem is that the savior is easy to find, but if he absorbs his power, it is not that the old birthday star eats arsenic-is it too long to live
In fact, Roja can be sure that this idea was definitely not the first thing Charles thought of, because another group of people also had this idea, and felt that the power of the savior was easier to absorb, and they had courageously inhaled it thousands of years ago.. . ... This group of people is now called the Fallen.
"Don't mention the cultivation of gods for the time being, what is the power of absorbing the savior..."
Roja, who asked such a question, looked suspicious of life, wondering what a good idea this was, and seeing such a boy, Antonio was not surprised, and explained it in detail.
"Roya, do you remember the dilution plan I once said?"
"Dilution plan...that's true indeed."
Hearing Antonio's question, the black-haired boy nodded after a pause, remembering the bizarre battle plan.
The dilution plan is a method that people in the Second Age thought of in order to weaken the Savior, that is, to increase the number of followers of the Savior in a short period of time, thereby making the Savior weak.
It has to be said that this is a rather crazy plan, because believers in the Savior not only gain power, but also share the Savior’s madness, and it is precisely because they are worried that such actions may cause the Savior to get rid of the madness and wake up. This The plan was abandoned.
Thinking of the full picture of this plan, Roja frowned. He didn't understand why Antonio wanted to mention this, but the head of the academy said seriously:
"The method Charles thought of to absorb the power of the savior is actually similar in principle to the dilution plan, except that it is not ordinary humans who accomplish this task, but a curse."
"Curse?"
"Yes, the dilution plan was abandoned because of the huge sacrifice and the absorption of the savior's power will help it to share the madness and depravity, but if people are replaced by curses, then there is hope for the problem to be solved."
Antonio who said so explained to Roja in detail, and with the dean's explanation, Roja finally understood Charles's thoughts back then.
People may not be strong in gaining the power of the Savior, but they will definitely be mad. After all, it is the purpose of the Savior to expand believers, and this process is almost irreversible. Therefore, whether it is the second era or the present, There is only one way to solve believers, and that is to kill.
In the dilution plan, killing these people on a large scale is not only inhumane, but also helps the savior. This is the reason why the plan was abandoned. But a thousand years ago, Charles Aqiman, who read this information, thought of a bold idea. , That is to replace the human in the dilution plan with a curse based on his own ability.
In the world of Shia, it is not only human beings that can absorb powerful forces, but also various curses, such as the legendary magic sword, the holy artifacts that have been passed down for thousands of years in the Holy See, and so on. One of the typical examples is that Luo Ya has always been The short blade of the saint possesses is a powerful curse that absorbs the angel's curse power.
In the past, the reason why the Alders did not use curses in the dilution plan was because the savior power that ordinary curses could absorb was too scarce, and the saviours that could absorb a large amount of savior power were too expensive and few in number. However, these are in Charles’s It's not a problem in front of you.
"Charles’ abilities are a unique variant of [the kingdom]. It can restore the legendary holy swords and magic swords of various eras. Hundreds of weapons of this level can absorb even more power than millions of human believers. , And this is the basis of the final plan."
"I see."
After listening to Antonio's explanation, Roja glanced at Paul in the distance and nodded slightly.
What is Paul’s power like? This is how Roja knows. During his academy, when Paul was still at source level 4, he was able to make the legendary armor of the second era. With this trend, his strength reached source level 2. Even at Source Level 1, it is indeed not impossible to have hundreds of powerful curses under constant accumulation.
But even so, one question still puzzled Roya. After thinking for a while, the black-haired boy asked:
"Master Antonio, it is indeed possible to replace humans with powerful curses, and to avoid casualties, but the savior will benefit from this. Isn’t it the same? The one who shares the madness and depravity is nothing more than changing from a believer to a person who uses these weapons. That's it."
"And... judging by the huge power of these weapons, once used, they may instantly turn the user into a powerful fallen one, and the damage may be greater than before."
As we all know, even in the world of Shia with extraordinary powers, weapons have no autonomous will, and naturally they will not actively throw themselves into the arms of the savior. If you want to absorb the power of the savior, you must operate it manually. In this way, the user of the weapon It will become a carrier of madness and depravity.
After one operation, although many people died, the savior would get rid of madness, but it has not changed. Such an improvement is almost meaningless, and in terms of the relationship between power and cost, the use of these magic swords and holy artifacts The person will instantly become the craziest fallen person because of the mighty power.
Imagine a madman who was turned into the most loyal believer by the power of the savior, holding an unimaginable magic sword in his hand, do you think he will be slaughtered, or will he slaughter? What if hundreds of such people appear at the same time
Just thinking of this situation, Roja felt it was a nightmare, and when he heard these concerns of the teenager, Antonio also nodded.
"Indeed, your worry is right. Depravity and madness will indeed turn to the user of the weapon, but... what if we choose a special person?"
"Special person? Wait, you mean..."
"good."
Looking at Roja with wide-eyed eyes, Antonio nodded and said:
"The one who launched the weapon is Caroline Acate."
