Heart of the Castle

Chapter 888 Plausible, Psychedelic Reality
The boundless sea of ​​burning stars gradually lost its magnificence in Levi Stern's eyes. He didn't know how much of what the Lord of the Eyed Eyes Thomas Jansen said was true, but it was obvious that these words were not Totally nonsense.Li Wei confirmed the stories in the religious classics he had seen and the truth told by Thomas Jansen one by one. What made him feel a little uneasy was that until the Lord of the Eyes stopped to take a breath, the young man None of the regents found any evidence of lies or fraud.

Shadow Assassin Alans Kate moved a few times uneasy. When the two sides just started talking, his eyes were fixed on Tomad Jansen, not daring to miss any tiny move he made. Actions.However, now, the Shadow Assassin's expression became dull due to excessive shock, and his fingers holding the poisoned daggers were also slightly relaxed. If the Lord of the Eyed Eyes bursts out to attack now, Li Wei can be sure that Arance? Make an appropriate response at a time.

Just like himself.

Subconsciously grasping the hilt of the knight's sword again, Li Wei took a deep breath of the chilly air, and said carefully, "I understand what you mean, Tomad Yangsen. Just now you have been trying to convince me , the decline and demise of this world is inevitable, I don't know what reason you made such a judgment, but does this mean that there should be no bloody conflict between us, let alone struggle to survive, just wait quietly Is it enough for the end to come?"

The young regent tried his best to calm down his voice, but the slight trill still revealed his true state of mind.The corner of the mouth of the Lord of the Eyes, Thomas Jansen, smiled again. He saw a sharp light from the eyes of the young man in front of him, but he knew very well that it was just a defensive posture.

"Since I came to this world, I have never had the idea of ​​giving up early, and I believe you have neither." Thomas Yangsen's voice was not high, but his words were calm and powerful, "Be able to stick to your beliefs and go At this point, your will is admirable, although the possibility is extremely small, but before the final outcome comes, it is impossible for us to bow our heads to fate."

A strange light flashed in Li Wei's eyes, and he couldn't help agreeing with Tomard Jansen's statement, even if the two sides' positions were still hostile. "So... According to you, how many years are left in this world?" The young regent continued to ask, "For the scale of time calculation, immortals are different from ordinary people. If this world can still If it continues to exist for tens of thousands of years, then even if it eventually goes to destruction, it will already be longer than the history of the kingdom."

"Your statement is very reasonable, but unfortunately, the time before the world's decline is much shorter than you imagined." Thomas Jansen murmured, "Because the plan of the gods was finally defeated by the gods After being devastated by the war, they gave up their plan to save the world, but tried to leave this world. Compared with the multiverse, this world is just an insignificant dust, and the immortal life with divine power can certainly find a way to leave But the way they left caused the heaviest damage to this world. The structure of the entire domain of gods was terribly damaged, so that the Great Crash—that is, the end of the world recorded in many religious books— — came hundreds of years earlier.”

"Hundreds of years in advance?" Li Wei felt a sudden tension in his heart, and a chill came out of his tone involuntarily.

"That's right, to be more precise, there are less than ten years left." The arc of the smile disappeared from the corner of Thomas Yangsen's mouth, and the light that suddenly lit up in the golden eyes was like a sharp knife cutting the face, The Shadow Assassin Arance Kate subconsciously looked away, and then he reacted and turned his head quickly.

"The gods have left this world for hundreds of years, and the many artifacts they left behind to maintain the barely functioning world rules have also been damaged in recent decades. The entire domain of gods is full of decay and decay..." Torto Made Yang Sen took two steps to the side, and then looked over with sparkling eyes, "Levi Ston, I have to say something about this—your luck is really good, if you are from the Domain of God The rules are all intact, and with your strength that you haven't even touched the edge of the legendary threshold, even if you barely use the power of faith to enter here, all consciousness will be wiped out in an instant, let alone you can still act as usual gone."

Li Wei's expression seemed a little sluggish, but the young regent suppressed the strange feeling that emerged in his heart in a blink of an eye, "I must admit, Thomas Jansen, there is a certain truth in what you said but when it comes to the evidence of the decision it is far from enough. Mr. Dish once said to me that the real lie is not a complete fabrication, but [-]% of the truth is certain, and only [-]% of the most important part It has been distorted and modified. The gods may have given up on this world as you said, but it is far from talking about the inevitable decline of the world, let alone within ten years."

Thomas Yangsen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and stretched out a finger to point to Levi Stern's chest, "Alchemy can create countless miracles that ordinary people can't imagine, and one of the highest masterpieces is now staying at In your chest. Alchemy God's Domain - or I use the same term as old Dish - the heart of the castle can create many alchemy items, and has incredible abilities close to the real god. I also have a piece of Alchemy God's Domain in my body According to the most basic principles of alchemy, as long as I pay a sufficient price, I can speculate on the future direction of this world."

Li Wei's brows were slightly frowned, and following Thomas Jansen's understated finger, the Heart of the Castle in his chest suddenly rose with an astonishing heat, which made it difficult for him to even breathe.However, this feeling didn't just appear on Li Wei's body. Thomas Yangsen's expression also changed slightly, and he quickly raised his right hand and pressed it on the right side of his chest.

"Damn Lord Gnat Eyes, treachery, what did you do to Master Levi?" Alans Kate's face suddenly became grim, and the poisoned daggers were raised like lightning, pointing at the vital point of Tomad Jansen's neck.

"Huh, huh, it's not me..." Thomas Yangsen took two steps back, and at the same time, a soft white light flashed on his right hand, and the fire that burned Li Wei's chest disappeared immediately, and the heart of the castle was restored immediately calm. "It was my negligence just now, Levi Ston. I didn't expect that there is such a close connection between the two Alchemy Gods, so that such a thing will happen just a little touch." Stiff, when he lowered his right hand, there was a burnt black-red scar on his palm.

"Alans, don't be nervous, I'm fine." Li Wei shook his head slightly at the nervous Shadow Assassin, and said softly, "Thomad Jansen didn't really hurt me, nor did he hurt the Castle Heart, Perhaps, as he said, this is just the instinctive resonance of the two fragments of the Alchemy God Realm."

"This shows that we should join hands to face the imminent problems together." Thomas Yangsen took the opportunity to continue speaking, while showing a sincere smile, "With the heart of the castle, you have the only chance to save this world. Because the Alchemy God's Domain is originally the product of using alchemy to simulate the God's Domain, although it is far from perfect, but in a sense, it can at least be regarded as the embryonic form of the God's Domain. If we can use alchemy If the domains of the gods are united, and absorb all the godheads and priesthoods left by the lost gods, the domain of the alchemy domain can replace the domain of gods that is on the verge of destruction, and become the core that maintains the rules of the world."

"So this is your proposal, Tomad Jansen." After listening to the narration of the Lord of the Eyes, Li Wei's brows did not relax, but frowned even tighter.

"That's right," Thomas Yangsen nodded reservedly, "Levi Ston, as the owner of another piece of Alchemy God Realm fragment, you are qualified to join hands with me to save this dying world .”

"I'm very honored by your proposal, Sir Thomas Jonsson." Levi Stern replied in a tone without any emotion, "But I also regret that I have to decline this proposal, Until there is enough evidence in front of me."

Thomas Jansen raised his eyebrows slightly, and a threatening aura rushed towards his face with this small change in his expression, making the shadow assassin Arance Kate take a quick diagonal step, The body is in front of Levi Stern. "It's really regrettable, Li Wei, I thought you should have enough judgment to feel that I don't have any hostility towards you." Lord's voice became low and deadly.

"If you're talking about hostility, I wonder why this happened, but I really didn't feel it from you." Li Wei's fingers slid across the smooth hilt of the knight's sword, and finally stopped on the carving of the griffin's head at the tail. "What I want to know now is the reason for the cooperation. As far as I know, the demonic invasion, the fall of the counties, the turmoil in the kingdom, including the arrival of the Great Lord of the Abyss and the death of Pope Nicholas, are all behind your shadow... Why should I cooperate with such a conspirator, even if he is showing no hostility now?"

"It seems that your misunderstanding of me is still deep. Of course, this is understandable." The anger in Tomad Jansen's eyes was fleeting, and then he quickly changed back to a calm expression, "Maybe you have been burned from Dragon King Darija learned some things about me, but I'm afraid not all of them. Let's put it this way, a few years ago, many of my actions were decided by the original owner of this body. Thomas? Although Yang Sen is just the son of a run-down nobleman, his ambitions are quite huge. He chose Earl Gregor as the best springboard to step on the political table, not only because of the strong fighting power of the Death Knights, but also because of this Among the heads of the Nine Pillars family, the Earl of the Magic Mountain has the worst reputation."

"The Earl of the Devil's Mountain has a very bad reputation. I've heard of it even in northern counties." Li Wei nodded in agreement. "Many knights and noble families use his name to frighten playful children. According to their As the saying goes, if a child does not go home to sleep when night falls, it will be caught and eaten by Count Gregor."

"The rumors of eating children are too much." Thomas Jansen showed a strange smile, "However, Earl Gregor did execute on the spot those who disobeyed his brutal orders. In the ruled territory, it is not uncommon for civilians, tenant farmers and even minor nobles to abandon their family properties and flee. No one cares that such a cruel and cruel ruler is overthrown, and more people are happy to see it. The owner of this body is precisely because he saw At this point, I tried my best to join the Death Knights, and with the help of Alchemy God Realm, I got the position of the first branch leader in just four years."

"Is it the help of the Alchemy God Realm, or yours?" Li Wei's tone was slightly harsh, "A son of a run-down nobleman full of ambitions, doesn't this just happen to meet your needs? No one cares about Tomad? What kind of soul is inside Yang Sen's body, just as no one cares about what kind of conspiracy Count Gregor died under."

Tomard Yangsen obviously noticed Li Wei's dissatisfaction, but he refused to explain this issue, but shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's not the point, Levi Ston, although you are young, you have already mastered it." A country has been in power for nearly two years, and it should not be unfamiliar to the unspoken rules of the power game. I gave Tomard Yangsen a chance to achieve his ambitions, and of course I also left a deadly trap in this opportunity. Since he was attracted by the sweet taste of power and stepped in, don't blame me for devouring his soul... Actually speaking, your situation is no different from his, but old Dish's luck is obviously very bad .”

"My luck is not bad, Thomas Jansen." An old voice came from the other end of the stairs, causing Levi Stern and Alans Kate to show relaxed expressions at the same time. "I feel very honored to meet a young man like Master Levi who sticks to the motto of knights unswervingly."

"It is also a great honor to listen to the teachings of such a knowledgeable alchemist as you, Mr. Dish." Li Wei bowed deeply to the figure walking from behind Thomas Jansen.

The gentle smile of the Lord of the Eyes suddenly became a little distorted, "Stop pretending to be a life mentor here, Disch Friedrich." His tone was so vicious that it almost made the air around Burning feeling, "Can you say you never thought of replacing Levi Stern?"

"Master Levy is different from the Thomas you chose. He has a flawless and bright heart. Compared with this, the ambition that every young man has is simply insignificant." Mr. Dish replied calmly Said, "Conspiracies and tricks and power struggles will stain the mind, so that there is an opportunity to allow evil consciousness to invade. When selfishness and reckless behavior become a habit, there is no need to play any tricks. Alchemy Gods can do it." Easily devour souls that have been corroded by darkness."

"That is to say... You did have such a plan. When Levi Ston made a mistake, you would lead him on the dark road and never return, and then replace him like me?"

Mr. Disch took a deep look at the expectant Lord Gnat-eyed, and then nodded lightly, "If this kind of thing really happened, my answer is... yes, it is."

Thomas Yangsen showed a particularly vicious smile, and then spread his hands towards Levi, "Did you hear that, this is Dish Friedrich's answer, the original answer, without any distortion or processing. Levi Stern, what should you think of your mentor now, a treacherous soul who always expects you to go down the dark path and replace him?"

Li Wei's expression seemed a little stunned, but there was no trace of resentment in his eyes, "Swallowing souls eroded by darkness? So the Castle Heart still has this function?" He raised his eyes, and Thomas Yangsen was almost He stared dumbfounded at the young regent, who had a relaxed smile on his face, "That's great, Mr. Dish, now I have a better reason to stick to the path of justice."

"You... your head is full of stubborn idiots!" Tomad Yangsen's expression seemed to have just swallowed a piece of white-hot coals, and the ferocious expression distorted the originally handsome face into a terrifying look. "You actually feel so good? See? That is an existence that will devour your soul at any time!"

"In other words, it is also timely correcting my existence of going dark." Levi replied word by word, "Thomad Jansen, Mr. Dish has never led me to go astray in darkness, even in the most depressed In those years, he still stood behind me, encouraging me to stick to the motto of knights and walk on the path of light and justice.”

Tomard Yangsen was taken aback for a moment, and then a burst of laughter erupted from his chest. Amidst the laughter, his originally peaceful aura climbed upwards, and soon surpassed the peak of the legend, reaching the level of the mortal out-of-reach areas.Accompanied by the colorless flames igniting from under his feet, standing in front of Li Wei and the others was no longer the kind-hearted lord with eyes, but a demigod with a cold face and ruthless eyes.

"It seems that words can no longer shake your judgment, Levi Ston, what a pity, I originally wanted to save some things and get the other half of the Alchemy God's Domain intact." Thomas Yangsen's expression changed. Haughty and cold, golden flames shot out from his eyes, and his laughter was like the rumbling echo of a fire tumbling deep in his throat. "Since you chose to fight against me instead of joining hands, prepare to taste the real horror!"
