"Are you a god?"
"Someone called me that a long time ago, but not anymore."
This man was called a god long ago? Could he be an ancient god who was forgotten by the whole world in ancient times? Faron thought in his mind. Although religion and theology in the world today are monopolized by the Holy See and the Holy Capital, there are indeed many ancient ruins around the world. , it seems that humans or elves in ancient times also worshiped those gods that have been forgotten.
Yalin looked at Faron and could probably guess what he was thinking even without looking into his mind. Although the body made of ice crystals looked very calm on the surface, Yalin couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart. .
"To make it easier for us to talk, you can call me ┉┉" Deliberately selling Guan Zi, Yalin tried his best to say in a low voice: "Yalin!"
"Yalin┉┉"
Faroon couldn't help but repeat the name in his mouth, and his mind quickly searched for possible information about the name, but found nothing.
"Who are you here for? The Kingdom of Saxony or your students?" Yalin sat on the sofa, supported his head with one hand and looked at Faron and asked: "Or are you also here to pursue power? "
Faron came back to his senses immediately. When Yalin mentioned his student Grete, although Faron was worried, he still said cautiously and respectfully: "Dear Lord Yalin, I have no intention of offending you when I come here. and your people, I┉┉I just wish I could understand┉┉”
"You understand what I want to do, right?" Yalin blinked and looked at Faron.
Faron nodded involuntarily and said in a low voice: "Yes, Sir Yalin, please forgive me. After the end of the Overlord's era, the entire continent has enjoyed tranquility and peace for two thousand years. As a god, your appearance will definitely To break the current status quo, as a mortal, we can only watch you with unknown fear. Maybe every small decision you make may change the status quo of this world."
Yalin couldn't help but want to smile bitterly. Faron really flattered himself. As the White Dragon King, he was just like the 'Panda' promised. There were few people in the whole world who could be his opponent. But the problem It's because he can't leave the Yanold Mountains now. If there is still room for defense, let's forget about attacking.
"Are you worried that I will create a new overlord?"
Faron took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, Sir Yalin, I believe this is not a difficult problem for you."
After listening to Faron's words, Yalin snorted and said, "I can give power to anyone, but the person who gets the power may not be able to do what Quintis did."
"You mean┉┉"
"Just like a sword, a good sword is just a piece of scrap metal if given to an incompetent person. Quintis┉ Oh! Maybe I should call him Garseric. He is an interesting guy. He has Ambitious, passionate, capable, and willing to give up all emotions in order to achieve his own goals." Yalin recalled the scene when the Overlord and the White Dragon King reached a contract, the ancient Dragon King and the future continent. Tyrant, the conversation between the two really made Yalin never tire of this memory.
Yalin paused for a moment and then suddenly said in a serious tone to Faron: "If anyone wants to get my power, no matter who it is, as long as he pays the price to make me interested, then I can give him what he desires. thing."
Listening to Yalin's words that there was no room for negotiation, Faron couldn't help but sigh secretly. With Yalin's strength and identity, he really didn't have any qualifications to negotiate with him. God knows how much the overlord Garserik paid two thousand years ago. What price must be paid to move him in order to exchange for the power powerful enough to unify the entire continent. It would be even more impossible to convince him with reason and emotions to explain the righteousness. He is a high-altitude god. Even if he has been forgotten in the corner of the world, the god will always be a god and he will never care. The situation and feelings of mortals like myself.
The situation on the mainland has begun to become turbulent recently, with the rise of the Kalsemmen Empire and the short-lived war in the Kingdom of Creses, the factional struggle in the Tower of Sages, and the Holy See is ready to move for its own ambitions! The Holy Capital in the west is also constantly developing and expanding its influence. It can be said that the entire continent is full of dangerous fuses. If you are not careful, you may ignite the flames of war and spread to the entire continent. This ancient god who appeared in the Mist Forest might be the flame that lit the first fuse.
"Then, Lord Yalin, can I make a deal with you?" Faron, who finally thought for a moment, stood up and said respectfully.
┉┉┉┉
Yalin glanced at Faron and thought for a moment and said: "As a great mage, you are an existence standing at the top of the mortal world. You have strength, knowledge and noble status and power. After you have obtained all these, you still long for it." What to get? Eternal life?”
Eternal life! For Faron, this is indeed a heart-warming thing. As Yalin said, his only big enemy in this world is probably the world. Calculating that he has lived for more than a hundred years, under the influence of magic This is almost the limit of life that humans can reach under the influence of influence. In fact, to keep oneself alive, there are still many ways for Faron, who involves various legal knowledge and secret techniques, but they all treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Using these methods will inevitably pay a high price and have serious side effects. , besides, they are not those who are willing to give up everything for eternal life.
"Your Excellency Yalin, eternal life is indeed an exciting thing, but all life in this world alternates between life and death. As a human being, I only need to live the life I deserve. Well, maybe the word eternity is only suitable for gods like you," Farroun sighed meaningfully.
Yalin couldn't help but secretly admired the old man and said: "Yes! What you said is very good, mage, but even gods┉┉ are not eternal!"
Gods are not eternal either!
Faron doesn't have much time to think about the meaning of Yalin's words now: "If there is anything else I desire, it is that I hope to know more about this world."
"Understand this world?" Yalin glanced at Faron.
"Yes, Sir Yalin." Faron nodded and said, "Please take the liberty of saying that you must have been in this world for a very long time."
Yalin nodded undeniably and said, "It's indeed been a long time. Looking back, it's probably more than 10,000 years."
"This is what I want, Lord Yalin. As a human being, the history of this world that I can understand can only be traced back to three thousand years, and I know nothing about it in the subsequent eras. As a person who has left death The old man not far away, I really hope to know what thrilling stories happened in those three thousand years ago, and maybe there are heroes more outstanding than the Overlord."
Faron suppressed his inner excitement and said that what he saw in front of him was an ancient god who had been living in the world for tens of thousands of years. This was simply unbelievable to him. Maybe today he would be lucky enough to understand what the world was like ten thousand years ago. What, perhaps, is the age of the Lord and the Gods as depicted in the Holy See and the Holy Capital.
Hearing Faron's words, Yalin suddenly felt that this old man was really interesting. After living for a hundred years, at the last moment of his life, he only wanted to know more about the history of the world, and did not care at all about the opportunity to extend his life. , although I don’t understand why Faron has these thoughts, it does make Yalin feel that he has the magnanimity and demeanor that a wise man should have.
But it was interesting. Yalin still asked without showing his expression: "I have recorded the rise and fall of many empires and the prosperity and extinction of countless species, not only in the material world, whether it is the spiritual world or the void, even the gods. I have records in every field.”
Faron couldn't help but widen his eyes. If Yalin could really know about other gods in the world, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it even if he said that he was not a god.
"But..." Yalin looked at Faron with a half-smile and said, "In exchange, what can you give me as a human being?"
What can you give to the gods? This question probably gives Faron a headache. The man who calls himself Yalin probably has wealth, knowledge, and power. What does the god want? Faron couldn't help but think of the dragon-headed sword-patterned flag of the Perlas Empire established by Overlord Garserik. For the gods, the only thing he wanted was faith.
"Perhaps I can bring your name out of this cold snowy mountain, and let your name flow into this world and be remembered again." Farroun said carefully after weighing it again and again.
These words made Yalin have to say that Ron's thinking is indeed sharp enough. He is worthy of someone who has been immersed in the Tower of Sages for so many years. It's just that his 'god' not only doesn't want to be spread, but also wants it to be spread. Never let outsiders know your existence.
After thinking for a while, Yalin said with a slightly disdainful laugh: "I have been forgotten by the world for a long time. Rather than becoming a god believed by the world and listening to the endless requests of those believers, I would rather sleep here quietly. Observe every change in this world.”
Farroun was speechless for a moment. Maybe his judgment was wrong, but if Yalin didn't have any intention to compete with the gods in the world for faith, then he really didn't have the chips and price to exchange with him, but at least Farroun Well, for the time being, it can be concluded that such an ancient god has no plans to expand his power.
"Since you want to learn about the story of ancient times from here, in exchange, tell me about the situation in the world today." Yalin secretly weighed the gains and losses with Schneizel and said.
Faron was stunned for a moment. Does Yalin, as a god, not know anything about this world
Yalin, who could see what Faron was thinking, continued: "I fell into a deep sleep after the two-thousand-year-old money tyrant Garserik came here and made a contract with me, although I was awakened by an uninvited guest midway. , but I quickly fell into a deep sleep and didn’t wake up until recently, and unfortunately missed what happened in the past two thousand years. Now I want to hear about the changes in the world in the past two thousand years, in order to get rid of this endless and endless Another boring time.”
What Yalin said was indeed a blank period in the memory of the White Dragon King. The White Dragon King, who fell into a deep sleep after being awakened by Hillia, had no memory of this period at all, so Yalin has always been concerned about the situation on the mainland. I don't know much about it. Although I got a lot of information from Gretel's mind, it is not comprehensive enough. It seems that this mage has spent all his energy on his own country and has not been deeply involved in the overall situation of the mainland.
For Faron, Yalin's conditions were beyond his expectation. As far as the conditions were concerned, he was not excessive and he still earned more. However, the old mage's attention did not focus on Yalin's conditions. It's about what the words say about being awakened by an uninvited guest while sleeping.
Recalling some of the records in the Tower of Sages, the old mage felt uneasy. Could it be that the uninvited guest was...
For a moment, Faron felt that his heart was beating faster than usual due to nervousness. He frowned and the old mage asked cautiously in a low voice: "Your Excellency Yalin, I hope you can satisfy the curiosity of a mage and be able to transfer such a powerful mage." When you wake up from a deep sleep, you don’t know what kind of existence it will be.”
Upon hearing this, Yalin sneered and said in a contemptuous tone: "A mage like you has good talent and power, but he is too self-righteous."
When he heard the word mage, even though Faron was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but sigh. The former star master Hillia really came here and learned about this ancient god. existence, judging from Yalin's tone, Master Hillia must have angered the ancient god. Regarding Hillia's ending, Faron did not dare to continue to ask questions. If he accidentally said something wrong and angered Yalin, maybe he will be recorded in the history of the Tower of Sages forever after Hillia.
"Okay, Master, what's your answer to my conditions?" Yalin asked quickly, not wanting to get entangled in other matters.
Faron bowed his head respectfully and said, "Of course, Sir Yalin, I am very willing to accept your conditions."
I still don’t fully understand Yalin, the ancient god Faron. If I can slowly build up enough trust with him, at least I can stay and get some useful information from here. A person who once gave If the news about the existence of the ancient god with overlord power and the Yanold Mountains spreads, it will definitely arouse the passion of the ambitious people on the mainland. What is even more troublesome is that the Holy See, which has always dreamed of monopolizing the entire religious faith on the mainland, if it learns The existence of this ancient god may have launched a war in advance in the name of crusade against heretics. As for the situation in the Holy City in the western part of the continent, although it has eased a lot under the leadership of the new Saint Flora, I am afraid that it will happen because of this incident. Things got out of control again.
Faron couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seems that the eye of this huge storm that is gradually forming will definitely be here!
