Thinking of the scary red-haired Vivienne he met before, Hao Ren realized that the information Hessiana brought was of great importance, so he gathered everyone in the family, including Izaks who had just returned from the outside, and was caught by him. Pulled to participate in the discussion. Because the coffee table in the living room was broken by Lily's paw, Hao Ren dragged the dining table to the center of the room, and Heatherana put the "Purgatory Ripper" mummy on the table, explaining what purgatory is.
"It was the Age of Mythology," Heatherana sat solemnly opposite Hao Ren, with a serious expression on her face that was typical of Vivienne's "lecturing" to others, "You should know that the Earth in that era was It is very different now—magic exists widely in this world, and supernatural power is the norm in the world. Human beings without much magical talent and the weak city-states they build are rare and need to be protected. At that time, the aliens not only built a lot of Today's unimaginable super-buildings, and the magical environment in the world make this planet very different from what it is today, and a large number of different spaces are connected to the earth—some of them are man-made, and some of them have existed from the beginning."
Hao Ren nodded slightly. He had heard Vivienne briefly mention these things before, and now he had the right to review them again.
"At that time, the aliens built a lot of things, and many families who proclaimed themselves as gods even built huge 'divine kingdoms', such as Mount Olympus and Asa God's Land, but these magnificent buildings cannot be found on the earth today. The ruins are because these 'divine kingdoms' are built in different spaces," Vivienne took Hesianna's words, "These divine kingdom spaces are man-made different spaces. In addition, there are some natural There are spaces, they have been linked to the earth since I can remember, they include purgatory and some demon planes, and even some aliens originally lived in this space, such as shadow demons, they come from this space, those The guy's home is called the 'Shadowworld', a cold place with no stars shining on it. I've been there once and was very impressed."
This was the first time Hao Ren had heard of it. What he immediately thought of was nothing else, but the truth about aliens coming to Earth:
Originally residents of the Dream Plane, they were leaked into this universe because the walls of reality were breached.
Could it be that the original different spaces that existed in ancient times also leaked from the dream plane? In other words, the break of the wall of reality not only threw a large number of races to this place, but also threw some space fragments of the dream plane in
Hao Ren exchanged glances with the others, and everyone basically thought of the same thing. However, they did not dwell on this: Considering the situation of the wall of reality and the theoretical model of "unification of information", it is normal for some space debris to leak into the universe after the wall of reality breaks. It's just the size. Now it seems that the leakage situation back then may be more serious than imagined.
"After the age of mythology collapsed, these different spaces basically disappeared," Heatherana continued, "The man-made kingdom of God lost its support due to the death of its master, most of it collapsed, and the rest were closed. The one we found before The space of the Temple of Olympus is a closed space; while those naturally existing spaces are exiled: demon hunters have no ability to destroy the space-time structure. So in order to cut off the foundation of some alien races, they sealed those aliens in the alien space. space and destroyed the link between the latter and the main plane.”
"Now those different spaces should still be floating in the cracks of time and space, and there is no channel to rebuild the link from the inside of the space. So they will wander in endless time and space forever, until the day when the universe dies." Vivienne said here Suddenly I was a little scared, "Fortunately, I didn't think about going to a different space to hide quietly. Once I went in and fell asleep, I'm afraid it's still floating in some corner of the universe."
Hao Ren looked at the mummy of "Purgatory Ripper" on the table, wondering what kind of environment could give birth to such a strange and hideous creature: "What kind of place is Purgatory?"
"The craziest one in all different dimensions, there are no rational creatures in it, only wild beasts," Heatherna curled her lips and looked up at Vivienne, "You can ask Sir Vivienne about this. About ancient times I've heard everything about the times, and Lord Vivienne has really experienced it."
Vivian hummed. Recalling the events of the year: "I have never been in purgatory, even in the age of mythology, few people have been there. The link between purgatory and the main plane is very unstable, it is not as powerful as other different spaces back then. A fixed space channel or access method, but opens the door almost randomly on the earth. It is slightly reasonable to be in the first level of purgatory, some daring wizards will go to explore that place, where there is poisonous air and high temperature. The hot springs, the whole world is boiling as if being boiled, the Purgatory Ripper lives on the first floor, and the second floor of Purgatory is where completely unreasonable monsters live, they are all irrational The beasts of flesh and blood devour each other, kill each other, and act with complete killing instincts. They will almost tear apart all flesh and blood that trespasses. Hades once tried to form an army of undead to find out the truth of purgatory. What's the bottom layer, but those skeletons and zombies were also torn apart by twisted monsters in Purgatory. Purgatory is such a crazy place anyway."
"Is it a harsh space full of primitive beasts?" Hao Ren rubbed his chin. "Why do wizards study this place?"
"The creatures in purgatory are born with great power, and their flesh and blood contain special raw energy," Vivienne said. "Although those bloodthirsty monsters are dangerous, wizards regard them as treasures. The ointment made by creatures can even be used to perform forbidden spells, such as promoting humans to immortal wizards, or opening portals to deeper distorted spaces. In the age of mythology, wizards were minions raised by aliens. At that time, they were still forced by their masters to explore Purgatory, but after the Age of Myths ended, some wizards began to actively explore that place."
Lily immediately yelled: "Hey wait, wasn't Purgatory exiled by demon hunters like other different spaces after the collapse of the Age of Mythology?"
"All other natural spaces have been exiled by demon hunters, except purgatory," Vivienne shook her head. "As I said before, purgatory is a very unstable place, and its connection to the main plane is completely random. Purgatory There is no original intelligent race in the world, and no one can control its connection rules—the demon hunters simply cannot grasp that space. Therefore, after the end of the age of mythology, Purgatory will still be connected to the earth from time to time, and there are often surviving aliens or The wizard went in. But after that, the demon hunters kept interfering with the gate of purgatory. They seemed to use a continuous space disturbance force to 'push' purgatory away from this world, although they did not completely destroy its connection with this world. But it has greatly reduced the frequency of opening the gates of Purgatory. Purgatory has not appeared at all in the last one or two thousand years. I remember that the last time it appeared was in the Augustus period, when a gate was opened in the north of Rome. There were several The village was swallowed by monsters, but there was no news of the 'door opening' at all after that. And the opening event was not large, and there are no clues in history."
Hao Ren listened to these miraculous stories with staring eyes. He didn't expect such a thing to happen after the end of the age of mythology. Then he set his sights on the mummified corpse of the Purgatory Ripper: "Then this thing..."
"This was made into a specimen hundreds of years ago," Heatherana nodded, "It means that a wizard opened the gate of purgatory hundreds of years ago, and brought something out of it alive."
"Hundreds of years ago? That was the era when humans and demon hunters ruled the earth," Hao Ren felt incredulous. "Didn't the demon hunters find out?"
"I don't know if anyone discovered it when I opened the door, but the wizard obviously escaped the hunt of the witcher. We found some clues about him, which prove that the wizard was still active in Europe until around the time of the American War of Independence. "
"So the information we have now is: there is a wizard who opened the gate of purgatory hundreds of years ago and brought out some things from it. At the same time, this wizard also left a magic book that can summon the evil spirit Vivienne ..." Hao Ren tapped the table with his knuckles, "What is the connection between the two things?"
"There is evidence that the summoning ceremony recorded in that book is just one of the wizard's many forbidden spells. We found some scattered manuscripts, which were left by the wizard." Heather Anna glanced at Vivian, "He Summoning the 'Blood King' is not the ultimate goal, but just wants to use the power of the Blood King to enter the depths of purgatory. He should have many other manuscripts left, and there may be more than one forbidden technique related to Lord Vivian Kind of, these secrets should be hidden in the place where he opened the gate of purgatory back then."
"where?"
"Northern Europe." (to be continued~^~)
