book of old days

Chapter 193 Ancient God
"That's not luck. I searched all kinds of information and collected ancient legends. Speaking of which, your "Nord Mythology Test" also provided some help. In the end, I will take the risk myself and go deep into the north. I was almost frozen to death in the cold ice field, but I finally found the legendary city of the gods—it’s a pity.”

"What a pity?" Ulysses asked, apparently also very interested in the so-called city of the gods.

That's right, that is the city where the gods lived in the myth. Even if the myth has been forgotten by the world, when the myth becomes reality, it will always have a bit of mystery.

"It's a pity that the city has already declined, leaving only ruins, but I did find a real treasure in that city."

As he spoke, he took out the emerald necklace of the forest goddess, and the warm light from the emerald moved Ulysses slightly.

"It seems that you have indeed gained something. I can feel the mysterious power on this item. Although it is not much, it is indeed true."

He stretched out his hand, brushed slowly over the necklace, but did not touch it, and finally withdrew his hand.

Sean was observing the old man's reaction. He was actually probing, to see how the old man would react to this inferior artifact, whether he would be shocked, overjoyed, or calm, but it seemed that the old man's trump card There should be a lot, although he was a little surprised, but not too moved.

It's as if this thing is nothing more than an ordinary thing in his eyes.

Sean couldn't help being a little more curious. Doesn't this old man also have some family background? He put away the necklace and spread his hands, "This is my story. For the sake of wealth and extraordinary power, I am willing to take some risks. Unfortunately, It didn't work out, but it made a lot of money.

Now I am going to rest for a while, enjoy the happiness of the rich, and then prepare for the next adventure, but before I go, I must find enough information. After all, it is not so easy to find places like the City of Gods. Easy stuff - you get the idea.

how about you?What are you pursuing that mysterious power for, and what have you gained in these years of searching? "

Sean looked at the old man, waiting for the other person's story. He guessed that the old man would probably hide something, and even made up a story completely.

But Ulysses' reminiscing tone made his thoughts loose.

"Anthracene, my story—that's a bit too long.

It all happened in my year. I heard a mysterious voice in a dark cave. It told me that there are many existences in this world beyond human common sense, and told me that if I wanted to serve it, it would reveal the truth of this world to me. truth.

I didn't pay attention to it, and ran away instead. On the one hand, the terrifying side shown by that thing, although it was only the tip of the iceberg, still made me almost lose my mind in fear when I was young.

But more importantly, in the environment where I live, people will always tell those young people to be careful of voices in the dark, be careful of those incomprehensible beings, and in all fables, those mysterious things are always evil The voice of the cruel, cruel devil who will bring disaster to people.

However, 20 years later, I took the initiative to find that voice and ask it for help. "

"what happened?"

"Hehe, what happened—because I saw the real darkness and the real evil in this world, which is far more frightening than the dark fables."

"what is that?"

"Human, Professor Sean, human."

"People cruelly treat their own kind, killing, abuse, torture, oppression, exploitation, hatred, all negative emotions, I have witnessed war with my own eyes, I have seen all the terrible things that only exist in books, and even books You can never imagine the terrible behavior that can be done when the human spirit is degraded to the extreme.

The more I watch, the more I realize that people make up all kinds of mysterious legends and horror stories not because of fear, but because only in this way can people deceive themselves that they are not the worst which category.

People can abuse wives, poison husbands, kill strangers, sell sausages mixed with rat meat to neighbors, skin wild animals alive, and throw newborns into the sewer.

But as long as the mystery in the dark still exists, but the horror stories still spread, people can lie in bed and sleep with peace of mind, telling themselves that it is not the worst, and that the mysterious voice is the real disaster...

Did you see the trial in the imperial court?For every prisoner who is about to be executed, their most common excuse will always be-the devil has confused me and made me lose my mind.

Sometimes that excuse really worked, and sometimes it was even true, but the devil who had deluded them was none other than other human beings. "

The old man's voice was full of emotion and nostalgia, but without any hatred. He was just calmly telling his past experience, but the more it was like this, the more Xiao En realized what he was talking about.

He didn't doubt the story of the old man, how terrible things humans can do, has already been recorded in the history books.

"Then what do you want to do when you seek the help of that voice?"

He didn't ask if the voice had helped Ulysses, the answer must have been yes, otherwise the two wouldn't be sitting here discussing the subject.

Ulysses looked out of the window, and because the surroundings became so quiet that the masked man's preaching came intermittently from outside the door.

"We want to build a new world without oppression, without exploitation, without pain, without hunger..."

Everything speaks for itself.

Sean was a little surprised, a little stunned, and even a little awed.

This Ulysses actually has such great feelings?I have to say that it made him feel a little ashamed. After witnessing all the past history of mankind, he had already forgotten the passionate fantasies of his childhood. He also had such thoughts.

But now, he just wants to gain strength and let himself go beyond the rules of this world.

"Great idea, salute you." He said and raised his glass, but didn't actually drink it, just pretended to sip it.

Putting down his wine glass, Sean continued to ask: "So you want to use that mysterious existence to achieve this? I thought you were going to start a world revolution."

"Revolution? Why do you have such an idea? Look at those people outside, those walking corpses—they have already lost the courage to resist. Only those legendary powers can change the world."

Sean disagreed, "But the Nords thought so too at the beginning, but look at them now, even the gods are helpless in the face of the power of technology."

Ulysses showed a look of disdain, "I'm not talking about the false gods imagined by humans. The mysterious power I'm talking about is those ancient gods that have existed in this world since before the birth of humans. In some ancient civilizations They are called ancient gods in the classics, and they cannot be confused with those artificially created fakes."

Sean's heart skipped a beat, Ancient God?This title does not sound very simple.

"Have you seen the ancient god with your own eyes?"

"That's right, compared with those false gods, the power of the ancient gods is unimaginable. I witnessed its existence and its will before my eyes. I asked it for help, and it responded to me. Now I come to To Brighton is to unleash this power, and the world will tremble for it.

But I cannot complete this great cause alone, I need helpers, those people are only part of it, but I need a real capable assistant, a right-hand man, join me, Professor Sean, together we can change the world, Bring that wonderful new world to people. "

Ulysses said seriously, and Sean shook his head: "Sorry, I'm not the kind of sympathetic person. Compared to saving the world, I'm more inclined to save myself. Although I also pursue mystery, I only look for Those powers that can be mastered by me, such as magic or something—it’s a pity that I haven’t gained much until now?”

"Do you want to learn magic, hehe, so that's the case, maybe someday we can communicate with each other. During the years of my pursuit of the ancient gods, I have come into contact with various mysterious powers, including magic. The power of a god is nothing compared to it, but if you want, I can teach you, of course, this power is not free."

Sean was taken aback, this time he wasn't exactly faking it. "Do you have a magic book?"

"That's right, I even tried to practice. I have to say that although it's not worth mentioning compared to the power of the great ancient gods, it does come in handy sometimes."

Sean was hesitant this time. He doesn't lack magic power now, what he lacks the most is magic spells. If you can read that book...

"Think about it, Professor Xiao En, I can feel that you are not as selfish as you say, you are actually very sympathetic and sympathetic to the weak, even though you don't want to admit it, I still have things to do now, maybe next time When we meet again, we can be more honest."

As he spoke, he threw a silver coin on the table, and the silver coin rolled in front of Sean and landed slowly.

Sean looked at the silver coin and looked at Ulysses in surprise.Ulysses had already turned around and walked outside.

"Oh, by the way, I strongly recommend that you try that meatloaf, you will never regret it." After speaking, Ulysses walked out.

Sean still didn't eat the meatloaf, he cared more about the silver coin, he picked it up to have a look, not sure if it was the one he gave to the cripple.

Ulysses just said so casually.Or did he really know what just happened?If it is true, then this person's intelligence ability is a bit too scary.

That's less than an hour away.

And how did he know what happened two days ago?No, this is not something that can be explained by intelligence. It is also accidental that I appear here, unless Ulysses predicted in advance that I would come...

What is the so-called ancient god?His tone seems to be different from Aum's belief in God.

He didn't completely refuse to believe this kind of thing. The Goddess of Aurora, Sindora, also had the ability to predict. Although she couldn't fully see the future, she could indeed predict certain things that would happen.
