Hao Ren is now very grateful that he stayed in this city for a day, and took the time to explore the Gorgon Abyss within that day, and found the last words of the Malkiri magician in the Gorgon Abyss, Learned about the existence of the "Tumen Empire" from the last words.
He vaguely realized that those seemingly messy fragments of clues were actually the most important things. What he came into contact with was already the ultimate truth hidden in this mysterious world of Laherien.
When he mentioned the terms Tumen Empire and Inheritor, Grand Duke Owen, who was lying on the bed, did not answer immediately, but asked a question instead: "Are you here to participate in this era change?"
Hao Ren looked into the old man's eyes and nodded solemnly: "Yes."
His face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he even seemed to believe himself.
This is the working attitude of an excellent examiner—without the experience of messing around with his own god, he will never quickly condense such a demeanor.
Grand Duke Owen let out a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze to the Charlemagne brothers and sisters aside: "I know, you brought something—take it out now."
Charlemagne frowned: "But that kind of thing can only be done in the presence of Her Majesty Berentine or Her Majesty Constance..."
"Princess Constance will be here soon," Grand Duke Owen interrupted Charlemagne, and slightly raised his head to look at the silver-haired woman standing next to him, "Ginny, you can let Her Royal Highness come here."
The silver-haired woman called "Ginny" nodded slightly, then her eyelids slowly closed, her muscles relaxed, and her body appeared in a completely static state. After a few seconds, Hao Ren heard a slight sound of electricity and mechanical friction coming from her body, as if some kind of device was activated.
The aura of the silver-haired woman changed completely in that instant. The gentle and slightly wooden aura before became an aura with a strong sense of presence. Her eyelids trembled twice, and when she opened her eyes again It has become fierce.
"Nice meeting, I'm Constance." She looked at Hao Ren and his party, and nodded slightly.
Then she looked at the Charlemagne brothers and sisters again: "This is the second time I have met you, guests from the opposite side of the world."
"Woooh—" Lily dragged out her tone and let out an exaggerated exclamation. After a brief surprise, she immediately understood what happened, "You are a ghost... cough, consciousness transmission? Or something like a soul link? thing?"
"It's the same technology as the black sword knights." Hao Ren understood better than Lily. When "Ginny" closed his eyes, he detected a large number of signal links suddenly appearing on the other party. Before the link was established, the woman had always shown signs of wireless communication with the outside world, "If you guessed correctly, you have been looking at the situation in the room through the eyes of this lady just now?"
"As you said, consciousness transmission technology is nothing more than advanced knowledge for the inheritors," Princess Constance nodded slightly, "I'm sorry that I can only meet you in this form—the situation on the front line is not the same. Not optimistic, there are still mutated black sword knights attacking the position from time to time, although we have found a way to deal with them, but there must be someone in charge here."
As she spoke, she turned her eyes left and right to take a panoramic view of the entire room—because the corrupt power on Grand Duke Owen had been purified by Leah, the original abnormal gloom in the room also disappeared, and the remaining sacred power made the place It is even brighter and cleaner than other normal rooms: "Although I guessed that you are also inheritors when I heard about your deeds in the black pine forest, I never thought that you would hold such a strong power. In this way, the change of era It's more hopeful."
"Excuse me..." Aiwenna finally couldn't help but ask, "What does the change of era mean?"
Hao Ren heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Aiwenna ask such a question: Damn, he was also worried about how to ask...
After all, when I pretended that everything was under control, my acting skills were too realistic, but after being fooled, I have to face the dilemma of "the surface is as stable as Lily, but I'm panicking". The exit is the most troublesome situation for the investigators, and fortunately there are brother and sister Charlemagne at the scene - the situation of the two brothers and sisters seems to be no worse than their own...
"Ys really doesn't know the details?" Princess Constance frowned slightly, but then she was relieved, "It doesn't matter. Take out the things you brought, which you originally planned to present to my royal father. "
Charlemagne and Aiwenna glanced at each other and nodded slightly.
Then they each took out a delicate silver dagger from their space containers, cut their fingers without hesitation, and then pressed their bloody fingers on the amulets hanging on their respective chests .
"Archivist, No. C-3035 (No. C-3036)," the siblings said in unison, but instead of chanting any spells, they uttered a password like a power-on key, "Synchronous authentication, identification The information has been submitted, apply to open the vault."
Hao Ren looked in surprise at the pair of brothers and sisters who had kept their missions secret along the way, and saw that the talisman on their chests began to brighten at the same time. The talisman was originally used to inspire the special "royal coat of arms" on their bodies Yes, but now it seems that they have a greater role: as the two talismans were activated simultaneously, Hao Ren felt the space around the brother and sister suddenly start to distort, and soon, a figure appeared from the midair A mercury-like silver-white ball with a radius of more than one meter, and as honeycomb-like patterns emerged on the surface of the ball and peeled off layer by layer, a long platinum staff finally appeared in front of everyone.
This platinum staff is the treasure that the Charlemagne brothers and sisters traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, escorting them all the way from Yisu to the Dragon Empire
Hao Ren couldn't help looking at the platinum staff a few more times. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but he couldn't help feeling a little strange after seeing it, as if he had seen this staff somewhere else before— Its patterns like flowing water, as well as the carvings depicting the sun, moon and stars are very familiar.
He immediately raised his shoulders: "Terminal, compare."
"There is no need to compare, it is the platinum scepter in the hands of the Holy King Khersonga in the illusion of the black pine forest," the voice of the data terminal sounded in his mind, "the appearance is 100% consistent, and the energy fluctuations are also consistent. The authenticity is correct. "
Hao Ren couldn't help being slightly surprised, but he didn't show his surprise at all: Before he knew the function of this scepter, it's best not to express his thoughts rashly.
The Charlemagne brothers and sisters were also stunned for a while after seeing the platinum scepter, and then each showed a thoughtful look. Obviously, they also saw that this scepter was different from what they had seen in the phantom of the black pine forest. It was exactly the same, and—they were also seeing the true appearance of what they were escorting for the first time.
"It seems that you have kept your promise and have not opened the vault before you came here," Constance also spoke at this moment. She saw the surprise of the two brothers and sisters from the expressions on the faces of Charlemagne, and guessed something. , "Look at you, have you seen this ruling scepter in other places?"
"It was in the Black Pine Forest..." Evanna replied, "We experienced a 'vision' in the Black Pine Forest. An ancient queen held this scepter, and she was called the Holy King..."
"Ah, that should be the echo of Helsonga," Constance sighed softly. "May the king rest in peace. She has persisted in this broken world for too long."
Charlemagne couldn't help but took a step forward: "Excuse me, what is this..."
Constance interrupted before the other party could speak: "Do you know the function and meaning of this scepter?"
Charlemagne and Ai Wenna glanced at each other, then shook their heads, the expressions on their faces were equally puzzled.
"Then you probably don't know about the alternation and annihilation of eras."
The two brothers and sisters still shook their heads.
Constance looked at them quietly, neither sarcasm nor contempt in her tone, but just asked indifferently: "Then why did you know to come here and hand over the things in the vault to me? ?”
"Our royal father suddenly summoned us to the inner court and gave us this mission," Awenna replied honestly, in front of this "colleague princess" who was stronger than herself in every aspect, She couldn't help feeling weak, "He even seemed to have foreseen the civil strife in the Dragon Empire, and told us that if there are enemies in the imperial capital, we will go find you."
"But he didn't explain it in detail," Charlemagne went on, "and I think..."
"You don't think even your royal father fully understands why you did this, do you?" Constance took Charlemagne's words and sighed slightly, "As my royal father said to me, the inheritance ends. will gradually die out, dynasties have no eternity, gods will die, spirits will die, sages and dragons will die, and the reshaping of the world will continue to strip away those memories and knowledge, even with eternal souls. In the end, we all Will live blindly and ignorantly, and be driven by ancient obsessions to fight this war that even we ourselves do not understand the meaning of, the immortal will eventually become the walking dead, and that is the price of eternal life... "
Charlemagne and Evanna were both stunned, but Hao Ren felt a little bit in his heart after hearing the words "reshaping the world":
Fuck, Princess Constance knows the world has been reshaped!
Not only she knows, even her father knows!
And listen to the meaning between the lines... The "world reshaping" they know more than once? Otherwise, the word "continuous stripping" would not have been used in those words!
In other words, they even know how this universe was once destroyed by the Mad Lord!
"Sorry, this should be difficult for you to understand," Constance's exclamation did not last, she noticed the confusion on the faces of the Charlemagne brothers and sisters, and shook her head slightly, "In the state of consciousness transmission, some Subconscious thoughts are harder to control, and I've become more emotional than usual. Now let's get back to normal rhythms, first... let's talk about the fact that our world was destroyed."
