Secret: Those years when I was a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

756

"This is the place where gods fight, the legacy of the 'Great Cataclysm'."

Just as Klein was scanning the surrounding illusion, Hermes suddenly said: "Back then, the gods who participated in the war chose the battlefield on the sea, but as soon as they reached the edge of the continent, the situation began to deteriorate rapidly. In the end, the gods had no choice but to No fighting will break out along the coast of the Eastern Continent.”

"In the end, the aftermath of the disaster destroyed the entire eastern continent, but fortunately, the southern and northern continents did not suffer much damage."

Hermes sighed and whispered:

"It's obviously not a good thing, but it's not the worst thing either."

Not the worst…

Klein was silent. He remembered that he was also a student who was very interested in the history of the Quaternary Age. However, the history at that time had been packaged and changed too much by later generations. After the relevant buildings were discovered, what was waiting for was not archeology and excavation. , but destroyed and buried.

However, the Aurora Society still preserves a considerable part of the history, cultural relics, classics and sealed objects of the Fourth Age. After all, the True Creator was the only righteous God at that time. Klein has received quite high authority, and can naturally borrow almost all materials and books to help him play the role of digesting ancient scholars. Therefore, he knew that in the extraordinary world, that era was so exciting and dazzling that it was simply shocking.

"I know what the Eastern Continent is like. It's dark, dangerous, and terrifying. It's simply not a place where humans should live."

Hermes walked in front, with his back straight and not looking like an old man.

"The Angel of the Holy Word who walks there on behalf of the true Creator is my junior, but his spirit has already fallen into madness in the fourth era. He believes that the suffering of the people in the land abandoned by God is atonement for their sins. The reason is that the Creator cannot make mistakes. The destruction of the Eastern Continent must be because the people in the Eastern Continent did something wrong first. I think there is something wrong with His brain. After all, compared to 'The Lord is not perfect', 'I am guilty' is easier to accept."

"Oh, what sin do they have? He himself is not guilty either. The law should prohibit fanatics from spreading such negative and wrong thoughts."

Klein coughed to cover up the rising corners of his mouth.

Hermes sneered:

"Later, Adam said that he had the power to resurrect the sun god, and he seemed more reliable than the real Creator, so I helped him."

"Later, the True Creator returned to normal and recruited me again. Something happened to Adam at that time, and I saw that He did not take revenge on the believers of the Eternal Blazing Sun when he took back Intis, so I decided to come back and help Him."

People rely on extraordinary power to build a splendid and extraordinary world civilization. However, in historical records, nobles are omnipotent, while civilians and low-sequence Extraordinaries are just sacrifices that may be put on the altar with animals at any time. The narrator records every sacrifice truthfully, and also records every event in the empire. A celebration made Klein's hair stand on end, and he felt extremely disconnected.

"Black Emperor" is not the title of every emperor of Solomon's empire, but the name of a god;

Emperor Solomon cooperated with the True Creator, and actually used the power of two gods to work together to intimidate the six gods at that time. While the God of Death in the Southern Continent still exists, the Six Gods can only go to the borderlands of the Northern Continent to preach. They are in an unprecedented state of despair.

When looking through these documents and records, Klein always worked hard to ensure that he had a fair and objective attitude.

After all, the writers of these records were members of the Solomon Empire at the time, or high-ranking members of the Aurora Society. They would inevitably bring a personal touch to their narratives, excessively belittling the gods, or excessively praising Emperor Solomon and the True Creator.

——But it turns out that the power of the great emperor and the fallen creator is still limited. When the six gods stopped their meaningless behavior of infighting and holding each other back, and found a breakthrough within the empire, it was inevitable for the two of them. The earth ushered in defeat, and Solomon died as a result.

After that, there was the betrayal of two subordinates of the same rank who belonged to Solomon.

Two angels of the "lawyer" path, Alistair Tudor and Trunsoest, together with the Six Gods, betrayed and killed Solomon, took away his extraordinary characteristics, promoted him to Sequence One, and began the two-man rule. The era of coexistence of officials and officials.

Before Solomon returned, Tudor and Trunsoest, who felt that the Sequence One attribute was about to leave them, made different choices.

Trunsoest chose to join the camp of the Six Gods, and safely switched paths to become the true god "Judge" of the "Arbiter" path, and used marriage to win the support of the vampires, while Alistair Tudor However, he united with his Angel King Dukes to kill three conquerors and became Sequence 0 of the Hunter Path, the first "Red Priest".

The Black Emperor returned from death and occupied the north to start the Second Empire.

Later, there was a mighty battle between the four emperors, and three of the four emperors fell.

The crazy "Blood Emperor" fell, and Trunsoest, who was protected by the Six Gods, did not escape the disaster and died together with the Blood Moon Queen.

The only survivor and the biggest profiteer, the "Pluto Emperor" devoured the "Red Priest"'s sequence one and uniqueness, and then drove the "Pale Disaster" to death crazily, and the history of the Fourth Age finally came to an end.

There is no such thing in the officially disclosed history. This retrograde history is described as "the normal order of the three empires of Solomon-Tudor-Trunsoest". There is no Duke's betrayal. Solomon, who was also an emperor, seized power, and there was no world intervened by extraordinary forces. Even these empires were under the protection of the six gods throughout history, and their beliefs have existed since ancient times.

Klein kept in mind that he was just a researcher of history, a scholar studying ancient history. He did not condemn the gods for rewriting history, nor did he fight for the injustice of these destroyed empires. He only felt that the destroyed ancient buildings were a pity.

From the perspective of a scholar, he is just a spectator.

"I've been to the ruins of the God War."

Klein scanned the sea below, memorizing every abnormal location marked by Hermes, and observing the remnants of divine power there.

Hermes laughed: "Are you going to find mermaids?"

"Yes." The original trip seemed like yesterday. When Klein recalled it, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. At the same time, he felt that his current state of mind was really funny. It was obviously only in the first half of the year, but it was already due. Use the word "memory".

"Well, after Zaratul's promotion sequence went out of control, it merged and swallowed up many sealed objects and extraordinary people in the Secret Order. The mermaids were also turned into marionettes by him. Before he returned to normal, no one dared to use those marionettes. Mermaid promotion... In addition, some mermaids in the breeding area are believers of the goddess of the night. I don't know why the goddess is so interested in the 'divineer' path."

Klein did not answer. He noticed that there was a small sea forest among the ruins of the God War, and couldn't help but ask:

"Life, plants, growth, is that the remaining power of the Mother Earth?"

Hermes glanced down and nodded: "Yes."

"The Mother Goddess of Earth was also in the 'Feast of Betrayal'? Then the God of War..."

"I have never told you how many people there are in 'Redemption Rose'. You can guess." Hermes said jokingly, and he led Klein forward. He did not reveal the information directly, but guided Klein Ryan thought and unearthed the secrets in history, "You should know that the original Sun God, the omniscient and omnipotent Lord, was not the true god of a single path. It could even be said to have gathered the five adjacent paths... plus the Sea of ​​Chaos, This has caused a qualitative change. You said, if you want to kill such an existence, how can the kings of angels alone be enough?"

Klein's eyes widened, and the blurry image of "Rose of Redemption" gradually took shape in his mind. Angels and gods gathered around the long table.

He quickly followed Hermes' footsteps and expressed his guess with a scholar's attitude:

"So, the participants were almost all, no, all the gods?"

"There were no six gods at that time. In addition to the Mother Goddess of the Earth, the God of War and the Goddess of the Night, the other three were the kings of angels, as well as the Dark Angel, the War Angel, and the Angel of Destiny. In addition, was the God of Death in the Southern Continent also involved in this? A murder?"

He clearly remembered the words of the little "Sun" and the cleric apparition that Colin Iliad met in Afternoon Town. An unnamed being seduced Sasriel, and the kings visited the palace frequently. Gathering in the middle, the huge disaster will begin from there... In addition to the king of angels, the kings also have gods. Combined with the truth about the suicide of the ancient sun god, Sasriel, who symbolizes his half body, is not so much tempted, but this is What He really thought was that the two of them conspired to kill Himself and passed on to future generations the illusion that the gods were plotting to murder their Creator.

What people didn't expect was that the ancient sun god was really killed and eaten.

The plan exceeded the Creator's expectations, and the murder originally intended to save himself came true.

When making this guess, Klein had some vague feelings. He seemed to see the dark fog of history coming towards him. In an area completely shrouded in fog, there was a corner that exuded a hazy light. The light must be illuminated by him.

But it didn't light up after all.

The corners of Hermes' mouth raised slightly:

"You're very smart, but you're still a little behind."

Not even close? Yes, I don’t know what the name of the person who was erased is. He must be among the gods, but I don’t know who this is and why he wants to erase only his own name...

Klein felt the fog and felt the connection between himself and it, but he was unable to light it up. He had to give up the idea of ​​exploring for the time being and suppress it deep in his heart. After all, the answer is likely to be in the Eastern Continent.

He followed Hermes walking in mid-air, passing by the lush maritime forests, lifeless seas, and some seas shimmering with thunder and lightning storms. Suddenly, when he was directly hit by the bright sunlight, Klein's ears suddenly rang with waves. A raving with a strong sense of madness.

It was like a thin steel needle, piercing through his eardrum and piercing into his brain, causing him to feel familiar and filled with huge pain that filled every thought.

The "spiritual insects" that make up his mythical biological form are gradually changing, and seem to be giving birth to a fallen consciousness that does not belong to him.

The ravings of the “True Creator”!

Are there also the murmurs of the true Creator in dreams? Mr. Hermes, are your dreams a little too realistic?

Sometimes the gibbering is a chaotic roar, and sometimes it is a jumble of information spliced ​​together, which makes one's head feel big in a physical sense. Klein could barely resist this, but he couldn't hold on for too long, and he couldn't move too far forward in the "God War Ruins".

At this moment, he suddenly saw Hermes stop, cough, and smile a little narrowly.

"arrive."

"We've arrived at our destination," Hermes said.

The murmur did not subside, but Klein felt inexplicably relieved. He was dragged forward by Hermes a few steps, and landed on an unknown island. The island was wrapped in thick darkness, and it was almost impossible to see his fingers.

"The darkness here is very dangerous. It is very similar to the Eastern Continent...it has elements of 'secret' and 'shadow'." Hermes introduced him seriously, as if they were really walking on this island. , "The power of the two gods mixed together, causing changes in the night here. Only this road is safe, which is the path opened by the Aurora Society."

The murmur in his mind weakened a bit. Klein raised his head and saw a door suddenly appeared in front of him.

In dreams, the appearance of doors and boundaries has more symbolic meanings.

Hermes pushed open the door first, and the door was filled with orange light like dusk.

Klein widened his eyes and looked inside, only to see that the magnificent giant-like building he had seen in his dream appeared behind the door, and the night surrounding the door was still so thick that it seemed as if it could not be melted away. He followed Hermes into the door, and as if "teleported", the surrounding environment suddenly changed. He stood in the magnificent "collective dream". The sky above his head was gray, but the distance in the distance The sky was filled with dusk light. He looked up and saw the black monastery and the projection of the "Giant King's Court" full of epic and mythical feeling on the other side of the cliff.

"Your 'Black Saint' once passed through this monastery and made a pilgrimage to the Eastern Continent."

Hermes thought he had never been here before, so he gave Klein a brief introduction:

"He had a deep belief in the Creator, the One in the Holy Scriptures and the Bible, and because of his piety he was given the opportunity to lead a pilgrimage."

"That's when it was compiled into a handbook."

"But that trip caused some mental damage to him. Seeing the remains of the city-state and the misery of the electors, Leo Master had doubts about his faith. In addition, the Eastern Continent was filled with His ravings, and he His mental health quickly deteriorated."

"He was later attracted to go there again, but he had an accident before he entered. He was trapped by an extraordinary object in the monastery, causing other believers he led to suffer heavy casualties. Fortunately, he finally got a certain passing divine envoy With help, he returned to normal.”

Passing by the divine envoy who endured the murmurs of the true Creator, Klein pondered the meaning of these words, looked at the black monastery in the distance, and asked with some surprise:

"Is that the entrance to the Land Abandoned by God?"

"This is the entrance to our road."

This, in other words, if I was wandering around at that time, maybe I would randomly open a door in the monastery in my dream, and I might suddenly appear in the land abandoned by the gods... I, who was only Sequence 6 at the time, would definitely have nothing to do with it. He died suddenly in suspense... Klein sweated to himself.

"Don't you have to enter the dreamland at a specific place to open the entrance?"

"Generally, that's the case."

Hermes nodded, pulled Klein and walked directly to the black monastery, stepping onto the square with traces of fighting in front of him:

"If it is a normal opening method, after leaving this monastery, you must take a boat all the way to the core of this ruined ocean. This may take more than a month, and you will experience many dangers that you cannot bear at the moment. .”

"You can't bear it."

After Hermes finished speaking, the topic suddenly changed: "Neither can I."

Klein was stunned.

"So we need to wait for guidance here." Hermes winked at Klein and suddenly pushed him hard.

A strong feeling of weightlessness suddenly came, and Klein suddenly fell down and woke up suddenly from his dream!

Immediately afterwards, he found that he was not lying on the bed in his own bedroom, but was being carried by someone on his shoulders in his pajamas. The black armor with spikes and edges almost poked him in the face, which was so painful. His ribs ached.

Klein was startled and waited quietly to observe what happened. First he was extremely shocked to realize that he had appeared in front of the black monastery in reality, and then he saw that the person carrying him had red hair. He looked again, and saw Hermes with thick white hair standing not far away, admiring the surrounding scenery with an "I don't know anything" look, and began to dig around as if nothing had happened, as if he was doing archeology.

Medici threw him to the ground. Klein reflexively turned over and stood firm. Red Angel clapped his hands and smiled:

"Are you surprised or surprised?"

"In order to allow you to go in, I prayed to the big snake several times. It happens that he is still awake now. I think it is just right, so I will not waste time. You have to know that the 'just right' of fate is very precious!"

So you moved me here while I was dreaming? Klein found it simply incredible. The murmur I felt just now was not imitated by Hermes, but was it the corresponding dream state that I was actually passing through that sea area? Can you angels discuss this with me in advance?

"Okay, let's go."

Medici patted Klein on the shoulder and dragged him directly towards the black monastery: "Don't waste the precious snake's time!"

Hermes also quickly followed up from the side and gave Klein an apologetic look. Immediately afterwards, Klein felt refreshed, and the world around him seemed to suddenly become gray, as if the pixels and saturation were reduced at the same time.

They entered the world of dreams again.

"This monastery is made up of dreams."

Hermes explained to Klein: "These are the dreams of different creatures from the ruins of the God War, both past and present."

Medici, who was walking at the front, quickly approached the door of the monastery that seemed to be prepared for giants. The black door that Klein pushed open with his own hands the last time he came here, there was an extra link at some point. relief of white serpent.

"Yo! Orochi, how are you doing lately?"

Medici walked up, stood on tiptoes and touched the head of the silver-white giant snake vigorously. The giant snake did not resist the warm greetings of his colleagues. It slowly turned its head, and Klein's figure was reflected in its ruby-like eyes.

Klein became nervous, but nothing happened.

After just a moment, Ourolius withdrew his gaze. He let go of the tail he was biting, and his relief-like body swam flexibly around the door. The door opened naturally, as if to welcome him after a long time. Guests who have embarked on this pilgrimage again for decades.

"I really miss it."

Medici's face became serious, he made an inverted cross on his chest, and then stretched out his hand to greet the two people behind him: "Okay, let's go!"

"It's been a long time indeed."

Hermes whispered to himself and made a straight cross.

Klein looked left and right, then scratched his chest casually a few times, and then followed the two angels into the door.

The silver-white giant snake swam down from the gate. His body was getting bigger and bigger, from a python as thick as a wrist to a giant snake that even looked weird and shocking in his dream. His body could hold four people. With such a thick embrace, he glanced at Klein again, then came to the front of Medici, twisted his body, and turned into a long, spiraling upward silver-white staircase.

The stairs extended to a high place, but the sky in the dream was not clear, only endless light was seen shining down.

The body of the giant snake makes people dizzy. Looking at it, it seems that it has really turned into a staircase, and the golden sunlight has turned into a rotating corridor wall, and one blurry painting after another is hung in the corridor.

Klein was immersed in these bizarre dream symbols. The high places in the corridor seemed to be decorated with religious stained glass windows. The sunlight filtered through there, bringing a rainbow-like sanctity.

Walking in such a dream, even a person with no faith like Klein will feel his soul shocked.

It wasn't until Hermes gave him a kind push that he woke up and quickly followed Medici's pace.

"This plan is indeed safer for us." Edward said, "But I don't want to help you. I can give you some of my memories, and for the rest, you can find a dead person with extraordinary characteristics. .”

"Plans? Do plans mean anything to you?"

After a few seconds of silence, Edward spoke angrily:

"Keep in mind that our purpose is to survive, and other things are up to you. If you don't cause me any trouble, I will be satisfied."

"But I have to say, your proposal is very interesting - I still won't choose to have a good relationship with him. Humans can't trust each other. I will never bet that he can treat a real alien god as a colleague. If I If I had known that the fate of the Lord of Mysteries would cling to Klein like a dog-skin plaster, I would definitely, definitely leave the earth early. I would never come down. This is a farce from beginning to end! And it is a pretty bad farce! "
