Silence and darkness are the main themes here.
My breath was swallowed up.
After an unknown amount of time, a blazing light suddenly bloomed in the darkness. The darkness was swallowed up, and the ultimate light swept through all the photoreceptor cells.
"Hey-"
In a long, heart-pounding breath, the light faded away and darkness returned.
"Holy Magician... Is this the Holy Magician?"
A low sigh full of endless emotions came from the darkness.
A flower of the sun lights up in a skinny palm, illuminating an old face that is also dry and full of wrinkles.
"Teacher, you... have you made a breakthrough?"
A trilling greeting came from outside.
Listening to the familiar voice, the old man nodded subconsciously and said "hmm".
An incredible sound of strong breathing suddenly came from outside!
There was a sound, which was the rippling of the water element and the joy of the fire element. When the light shined, the old man had completed his personal cleansing.
Wearing a simple white robe, he pushed open the wooden door of the hermitage. The bright sunlight outside made him subconsciously squint his eyes.
"tutor!"
Outside the house, a middle-aged man wearing a red robe as a magister looked at the old man with tears on his face, he was so excited that he could not control himself.
His most beloved magic instructor, Darnell, the great wizard of light and fire in Kweir, finally broke through to the realm of great wizard today! (Chapter 143·Opening Speech)
He will soon put on the much-anticipated black robe and ascend to the status of demigod.
"Thank you for your hard work, Eden." Darnell stretched out his skinny right hand and patted his proud disciple on the shoulder.
"This is my honor, mentor." Eden took a breath, calmed down his emotions, and suppressed the trembling in his heart.
"What time is it now?"
Darnell asked, scanning the scenery in the magic tower with mixed emotions.
——I especially remember that when he decided to go into seclusion, he stood in front of the door and looked at the interior of the magic tower for a long time, feeling hesitant in his heart.
I wonder if this scene is the last scene he remembers seeing, or the first scene he sees after rebirth
"Mentor, it's August 2nd, Year 3 of the Internet Calendar." Eden said quickly.
"Internet calendar?" Darnell looked stunned.
"Teacher, the Kvir Empire has been destroyed..."
"What?" Darnell was stunned, his eyes widened, and the joy of the breakthrough was gone: "What did you say? How long have I been in seclusion?"
"Teacher, don't worry, please listen to me first. To be precise, it should be 1083 in the Kverish Gregorian calendar. However, now everyone no longer uses the Kverish Gregorian calendar and uses the Internet calendar instead." Eden explained.
"Huh..." Darnell, who found that his retreat time was not too long, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "Why did the calendar change?"
"Because the eleventh monarch, Kesian, announced his abdication on May 4, 1080, the Kvir Empire was restructured into the Kvir Divine Kingdom, and the political system changed a lot. However, the Pillar Conference is still there, and the overall structure has not changed much." Eden Be concise and to the point.
"This..." The amount of information in this short paragraph made Darnell feel like he was struck by lightning: "You mean, the God of the Internet now rules the Kvir Empire?"
"Yes."
Eden nodded. The God of the Internet mentioned by his mentor reminded him of the major events that had happened recently, and he quickly started talking excitedly.
"Now the God of the Internet not only rules Kvir, he also expelled the God of Hades, took over the underworld, and even the dominance of the main plane of Vilia, sitting on two main planes, and created the pantheon of gods to serve the gods and even the multiverse. Make rules, create a new order, and become the well-deserved uncrowned king of the multiverse!"
"Wait, expel Hades? The main plane of Vilia? The pantheon of gods? The uncrowned king? Are you kidding?"
This series of information bombs made Darnell's mind buzz and go blank.
He even wondered if Eden was being controlled by someone, deliberately defrauding him when he was out of isolation and had limited information
It's not like he hasn't seen this kind of thing before.
"Teacher, how dare I joke with you? Since you went into seclusion, the multiverse has not been quiet for a day, and the pattern has changed three times a day."
Eden explained quickly.
"After you retreated, the God of Hades first attacked Willis and stole the chicken but lost the rice, making the God of the Internet one of the six righteous gods. Not long after, Kesian announced his abdication, and Kvill belonged to the God of the Internet. Down."
"If I tell you, you won't believe it. There are now more than fifty cities in Kerver. Almost all the people in villages and towns have moved into the city, and the number of magicians has increased sharply."
Sure enough, Darnell frowned when he heard this: "With more than fifty cities, how is this possible? How can Kver get so much financial resources to build a magic tower? How can a city support such a large population?"
Eden said quickly: "So I said, you won't believe it if I tell you. All this is due to the industrial revolution started by the dragon factory and the great increase in agricultural production brought about by the Magic Forest."
"Bicycle? Non-toxic mallow?" Darnell looked weird.
"Teacher, that's all in the past! Now there are so many products in the dragon factory that we can't even count them. The entire multiverse is our market, and there are all kinds of magic resources. To be honest, if you hadn't been in retreat, this magic tower would I’m planning on upgrading it.”
Darnell's face became even weirder.
In the past few years since he was in seclusion, what great changes have taken place in Kver? Why does he feel like he doesn't understand
"Then what? What does it mean to expel Hades, the main plane of Vilia, and the pantheon of gods?"
"Expulsion of Hades... Well, how do I put this? The God of the Internet has eroded the power of Hades, and also copied the undead army similar to the fifth natural disaster, and almost expelled Hades from the underworld. Now the underworld is legally the Internet. God’s territory.”
"As for the main plane of Vilia, it is the main plane that the God of the Internet has always hidden. The industrial revolution of the multiverse is the technology of the main plane of Vilia."
"As for the pantheon of gods, they were created by the God of the Internet. Almost all the gods of the multiverse have joined, agreeing and abiding by the rules set by the God of the Internet."
"Is this, are these all true?" Darnell's scalp was numb, and his face became more and more suspicious.
Even if the God of the Internet controls two main planes, it is impossible for the gods of the multiverse to collectively agree, right
"Of course it's all true! Teacher, the current world situation has changed so much that it is definitely far beyond your imagination. The main plane of Gaia has changed its owner, and the goddess of wisdom has become the new god. The god of the Internet once cooperated with her to snipe the mother of the earth. , successfully obtained the bloodline godhead."
"By the way, before this, the God of the Internet had successfully hunted down the God of Appraisal and obtained the God of Appraisal. His power is so powerful that it is rarely seen in the world."
"He even gained the support of the Dragon God, and spread space-based weapons throughout the multiverse. Looking across the multiverse, he was almost unbeatable. Even Poseidon was pointed out by his words and had to join the pantheon to avoid war. .”
As Eden told the story, Darnell's expression became more and more strange, and the doubt in his eyes became more apparent.
It's not like he hasn't been in seclusion before.
Even though he has been in seclusion for three to five years, the biggest change after coming out is just the rise of which nobles within the empire, the decline of which nobles, and other trivial matters.
Unexpectedly, this time he finally stepped into the realm of the Holy Magician, but the world changed for him like an earth-shaker. How could he accept it for a while
This is absolutely ridiculous.
He even doubted whether Eden was lying!
"Teacher, I can't explain clearly for a while. In this way, the Internet has updated a 'Book of Omniscient' section. If you have any doubts, you can learn from it. In addition, Kvir has changed a lot. Why don't you go out for a walk? , see it with your own eyes?”
Eden clearly knew his mentor well.
Seeing the silent and suspicious look on his mentor's face, he quickly gave other suggestions after briefly introducing the major events in the multiverse.
"That's fine! Don't make any announcement about my news for the time being. I'll understand the changes first so that I don't want to make more jokes." Darnell nodded.
"Yes, mentor." Eden nodded.
Darnell said no more.
After giving a few cautious instructions, he teleported away.
Eden looked at the disappearing figure of his mentor, fisted his hands in excitement, and started to wander around in excitement!
Nowadays, the multiverse is undergoing a major change that has not happened in ten thousand years. The establishment of the pantheon of gods has made the future of the multiverse even more confusing.
Although there is no need to worry about survival prospects despite being backed by the uncrowned king - the God of the Internet.
But the dividends of the times that the great era has spawned also made him eager to move and greedy.
Now that the mentor has been promoted to Holy Magician and become one of the four great Dharma Gods of the Kingdom of Kvir, his status will inevitably rise accordingly. With the help of this relationship, he will definitely be able to make further progress in this magnificent trend of the times. !
…
…
The sun is about to set and the sky is still dark. The newly paved street lights of Winifred, the largest city in the south of Kerver, have been neatly lit up.
For most cities in the multiverse, dark means rest; but for the citizens of Winifred, life has just begun.
Darnell walked the streets, somewhat shocked by the changes in the city.
If it weren't for the fact that some landmark buildings had not changed, he would have wondered if he had gone to the wrong place
The streets widened.
Vehicles with four wheels or two wheels were racing along the street.
After pricking up his ears, he could vaguely hear the roar of the magic steam engine. I wonder which secluded alley it was coming from? Or the wilderness outside the city.
The shops on both sides have also become flashy. He remembered that before the retreat, these shops had learned to use the Internet as their signboards.
Even more so now.
There are even always-lit magic signs.
One by one, shamsters wave fancy virtual screens on the streets to attract customers.
A bright spot of light swept across, causing Darnell to subconsciously look up and saw the Public Security Department's airship floating over the city, cruising back and forth.
The huge light spot sweeps across the street, giving people a strong sense of security.
"It's incredible!" Darnell couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
What's the saying
People take for granted what they see when they are born, the world as it is;
They will regard things that appear in their youth as the progress of the times and reluctantly follow them;
When one is old, weak, weak in strength, and greatly reduced in learning ability, new things that appear again will be regarded as deviant and intolerable.
This pattern cannot be used to summarize Darnell, but he still cannot understand the current Kervill.
It is so prosperous, rich and exquisite.
Yes, if he had not retreated, when these things rushed into his field of vision one by one, they might have brought him surprise and freshness.
When he was disconnected from society due to seclusion and suddenly saw all these things, to be honest, the shock was simply incomparable to outsiders.
"The world's delicacies, the world's delicacies, welcome to taste Willis's chop suey noodles! The chop suey noodles praised by Ajeef himself..."
A burst of loudspeaker attracted Darnell's attention.
He followed the sound and found that he had reached the edge of the city square before he knew it.
At this time, the square was brightly lit, crowded with pedestrians, and the streets were filled with stalls. The voice that attracted him came from one of the stalls.
In the steam of boiling water, the shop owner is busy rolling out the noodles, drawing them, and putting them into the pot.
A spoonful of finely chopped offal is scalded in boiling water and then lifted up and sprinkled on portions of noodles.
"Boss, please have some chop suey noodles." Seeing this, Darnell moved his index finger and simply sat down and ordered a bowl of chop suey noodles.
"Old sir, if you want your chop suey noodles to be spicy or sour, you can add it as you like." The shop owner soon served a bowl of steaming chop suey noodles and murmured the words he had said countless times.
"Brother, I'm listening to your playback. Has Mr. Ajeev eaten this offal?"
"yes!"
"The one from the Magic Forest?" Darnell asked again.
"Hey, old gentleman, you're not a native of Kerver, are you? No, your accent doesn't sound like a foreigner. Didn't you ask for an interpreter?" The shop owner looked strange.
"I just came back after being away from home for many years." Darnell realized something and quickly used the words he had said countless times along the way.
"Oh? No wonder! Of course Mr. Ajeef has eaten this offal noodles. If it weren't for him, how would it be so popular? Look, these chili spices are all made by his magic forest. To tell the story, I can’t explain it clearly at this moment, why don’t you search online?”
The shop owner was in a hurry to do business, so he hurriedly explained a few words and then went back to work.
Darnell was suddenly speechless when he saw this.
Even the common people who set up stalls know it, and it is a book of omniscience that makes them undecided in times of trouble.
Although he has known about this forum for a long time, his living habits have not changed for a while, which shows the great changes in society.
While eating noodles, Darnell used the soul login mode to find out the detailed process of the development of chop suey noodles into a nationally famous snack, and he sighed more and more.
A person's name is like a tree's shadow!
After eating the noodles, Darnell paid with Internet Banking, then Shi Shiran and strolled away.
The square is huge and exciting.
Young people are in twos and threes, and children are running around and making noise.
Occasionally, there would be a quarrel and trouble, and soon someone from the Public Security Department would come to deal with it.
In another corner of the square, an outdoor movie was played, and a large group of adults and adults who loved the fun gathered outside.
Darnell sat down and watched with interest for a while, then shook his head and left.
He is not very interested in these true and false scenes.
After leaving the square, the crowds gradually thinned out, but Darnell's mood became increasingly mixed.
Kerviel has changed a lot;
But the changes in the Internet shocked him even more.
Not to mention the distance, just the magic bank made him realize where the prosperity in front of him came from.
There is a magic bank to absorb the world's magic power, so why should Kevir worry about the supply of magic power
The golden age of magicians has arrived!
Fortunately, I took that life-and-death kick and broke away from the shaky old era and stepped into the new era.
Rejoicing grew in Darnell's heart.
When he thought of finding out the true and false news about the temples from the Internet, Darnell could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and teleported away.
He decided to officially inform Kevir: He, Darnel, has become a Holy Magician and is in the realm of demigods!
By the way, it's time for his agreement with Ajeev to be fulfilled.
Thinking of his agreement with Ajeev, a wave of regret emerged from Darnell's heart.
After twenty years of service, is it too little
