The mage arrives

Such a tyrannical and cool declaration can only be uttered by the first emperor of the majestic magic empire, and it is believed by others.

If Gordon said such things, others might not only not feel his arrogance, but would treat him as a psychopath.

All in all, His Majesty Asa Augustus relied on his own personality charm to increase the loyalty of Pensa, a quasi-god, to 100, and he has followed him for thousands of years since then, never leaving him.

Pensa told Gordon so much, of course, not just to tell him a historical secret between the two empires in the third era.

Since Pensa is the creator of this illusion, then His Majesty the Emperor whom he serves faithfully is obviously the creator of this illusion.

"So, what is His Majesty Asa Augustus trying to do in creating this illusion? Ever since I came to the Haiwen Peninsula and made contact with the Aican people, you have left various messages in every possible way, trying to guide me to Mount Vesula, what is it for? Do I have any special relationship with His Majesty Asa Augustus?".

Gordon asked questions like a cannonball.Although what Pensa said just now solved a problem.But there are still many mysteries waiting to be answered in his heart.Even after hearing Pensa's story, many new doubts arose in his mind.This state of being full of question marks is really annoying.

"Don't worry, Mr. Freeman. I can answer some of your questions, but some can only be answered by the master himself. He will come to this world in a maximum of three days. I promise. By then your curiosity The heart must be satisfied."

Pensa still savored the tea with gusto.There was only the sound of gurgling and drinking tea in the room, which lasted for a full 10 minutes.This quasi-god, who has an infinite lifespan and is never impatient, continued, "Before you solve all the problems, let's listen to another historical story..."

The old man's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the wrinkled lines on his face were also elongated, with a serious face: "What I want to say is the death of His Majesty Asa Augustus."

Although Asa Augustus was the founding emperor of the Netherland Magic Empire, he was not attached to power.After 120 years in power, imperial rule has stabilized.Development is on the right track, and a reasonable and stable rights system has also been established.Therefore, the Emperor of Elements poured all the power of the whole country into building a giant floating city—that is, Mount Weisula today.Then abdicate.He took his harem concubines and servants to live in seclusion.He would recruit a group of talented arcanists to study in the floating city every year, and sometimes he would go to a few magic classes in person on a whim.Other than that, the elemental emperor doesn't have much to do with the worldly empires.

Then, thousands of years passed, and the gears of history turned to the end of the Empire.

"Mr. Gordon Freeman. Do you know how the empire was destroyed?".

About why the once glorious Netherdulan magic empire suddenly collapsed.There are different opinions, but there is no conclusion that is all agreed by contemporary historical researchers.

"Ferrin Mokui?"

Hearing Gordon mentioning this powerful monster that the contemporary casters were talking about, Pensa showed disdain: "Hmph, how great is the empire, how could it be destroyed by these ugly things?"

After a pause, he added: "Yes, Felin's magic sunflower is very tricky. This kind of creature is evil and cruel, and there are many of them. Not only are they excellent mages, but they also have the ability to absorb the life energy of living things and the free energy of nature. Special ability. The war between the Empire and the Felin Mokui really caused many great arcanists headaches. But so what? Every day, there are ninety if not a hundred headaches for the Empire’s great arcanists. It is nothing but a ringworm on the body of the empire."  …

"Then I really can't guess it. After all, other legends about the sudden destruction of the Neisser Empire are even more absurd." Gordon spread his hands and said helplessly.

"Actually, you have personally experienced the natural disasters that led to the destruction of the Netherdulan Magic Empire twice not long ago."

natural disaster?Have you experienced it twice?

A flash of lightning flashed in Gordon's mind, and he said, "You mean, origin energy tides?"

"That's right. It's just that the source energy tide that caused the empire to be destroyed overnight was [-] times more powerful and [-] times more influential than the two times you experienced on the Haiwen Peninsula."

Such a huge tide of source energy made all the magic props in the empire—from small lighting lamps to large Miser energy cores—all fail due to the overload of source energy.The floating city began to fall, and all kinds of ferocious monsters imprisoned in the laboratory lost their restraints...

At that time, 80% of the entire population of the empire were spellcasters.Among these people, two-thirds were affected by the source energy tide, and the magic power in their bodies ran out of control and died instantly.The surviving spellcasters are either top arcanists who are strong enough to resist the influence of the source energy tide, or low-level spellcasters who are weak enough to be affected by the source energy tide without any serious problems.

And the elite arcanist class that really supported the operation of the empire died in the disaster of the energy tide.

The grand arcanists who have survived the tide of origin energy can only barely protect themselves and stay away from the chaos of the empire.And other ordinary imperial people who don't know spells are powerless to restore domestic order, let alone resist those hostile forces who take advantage of the situation.

The only good news is that Felin Mokui also exploded and died in this unprecedented super-giant source energy tide, and the race became extinct.

This tide of origin energy, which was not recorded in the history books, destroyed the glorious Netherdulan magic empire, and also brought an end to the third era "Arcana".

However, Asa Augustus, who holds the title of Neisser's strongest arcanist, is obviously one of the Neisserites who survived this disaster.After his floating city fell on the Haiwen Peninsula, the elemental emperor continued to carry out his great research while slowly searching for materials and repairing important facilities in the floating city in the chaotic world after the source energy tide—— Discover and master the power of destiny, and become a god.

Then, time flew by, and it came to the year of Jinyang—the fourth era 918, that is, 20 years ago, His Majesty the Elemental Emperor capsized in the gutter and was attacked and died.

At that time, he had just completed a great magic experiment, and was in an extremely weak state due to the great consumption.And the murderer who killed him was one of the three dark gods, Mephisto, the god of hatred-the abomination formed by the corpse after death.

Abominations are powerful monsters born out of mistakes and coincidences. They are twisted and terrifying, possessing divine power but not divinity.Their sole purpose in existence is to destroy everything, projecting their pain across the entire multiverse.

This kind of monster was born in a variety of ways, and the corpse of the god after death, after some special changes, would also become a godsend.

As I said before, Asa Augustus wants to become a god, and he does not take an unusual path to become a god.So he wanted to go to the field to study what gods were like, what kind of characteristics they had, and how they were different from ordinary people.

And if he wants to achieve this goal, he can never run to a god and say: "Please take off your clothes and let me dissect it with a scalpel. I will give you a subsidy afterwards."

As a conceited and proud Arcanist of Nesser, Asa Augustus chose the simplest and rude method: kill a god, drag its corpse back for dissection and study.

At that time, the Diablo Triad was engaged in a civil war between brothers as usual.So His Majesty the Elemental Emperor resorted to some tricks, quietly attacked, and killed Mephisto, who had just been wounded by his brother.His Majesty Augustus has indeed benefited a lot after obtaining the corpse of the God of Hate.

But later, as the research got deeper and deeper, he suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to be the God of Destiny anymore.Therefore, His Majesty the emperor sealed up all the previous research results, and then devoted his energy and resources to new research topics.

"Your Majesty is really free-spirited...you can do it when you have a whim, and you can give up if you don't have any interest. There is no entanglement." Gordon sighed.

"Affordable and easy to put down. This is one of the master's many good qualities."

However, although Asa Augustus gave up his attempt to become the God of Destiny, the aftermath of this experiment—the corpse of Mephisto—had gradually mutated into a deadly cancer.

Decades later, in the darkened dimensional warehouse, the corpse of the god of hatred was transformed into a sin, and he seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the weakened elemental emperor and kill him—just like the other party's surprise attack back then Kill yourself like that.

In a sense, this can be regarded as tit for tat.

But before he died, the elemental emperor's counterattack almost wiped out the evil.Moreover, although the elemental emperor died physically, his soul still existed, and with the help of Pensa, he was preparing to be resurrected.In a flash, it was 20 years, until Gordon came to Haiwen Peninsula.

"Wait...you mean, the resurrection of His Majesty Asa Augustus is related to me?"

"Yes."

"You expected my arrival so early?"

"No." Pensa shook his head, "This is purely a coincidence. In fact, the master's resurrection plan has already prepared everything, just waiting for the arrival of the source energy tide to provide a huge amount of source energy. But after I met you , Discussed with the master, temporarily changed the plan. After all, young man, you have a special relationship with the master. Letting you join will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also serve multiple purposes."

"I have a special relationship with the Emperor of Elements? No way, could it be..."

Seeing Gordon's expression, Pensa smiled and shook his head: "You are not the master's offspring. You should know that the stronger the mage, the harder it is to have offspring. Although the master has dozens of concubines, he has never had children."
