Chapter 302

He left a door at the burial place of his people. Will he return through this door?

Kevin was shocked by his own idea!

He only thought that he was fortunate to participate in the historical development of one of the former mortal rulers, and was also very lucky to be able to "analyze" the heart of a god and the trauma he had suffered... If these things were compiled into a written form and published, they would definitely trigger a trend, and his reputation would resound throughout the nations.

But Kevin never imagined that Amen-Ra was not just a tomb where a group of undead with special identities were buried - more importantly, it was also the gate for the departure and return of an ancient king!

A Witch-King!

Even if he is not famous for his great strength, the least combat-savvy Witch King can at least fight against multiple Nine-Ring Wizards. You must know that those who can compete with the Witch King in combat are White-Robed Wizards who are beyond the Nine Rings... So far, only the Founder has reached that level.

153: The Old Cult

Kevin looked at Anna, his face a little nervous.

It was quite dramatic how he was brought into this Sylvan "archaeological team".

Kevin originally worked in the Aegean city-state as a researcher. Although his ability was average, he was considered a "master" with considerable achievements in archaeology.

Hearing that the situation in the Alan Empire in the east was now in chaos and a civil war had begun, he felt sorry for how many precious cultural relics and ancient cities would be affected by the war, but he did not have the unrealistic idea of ​​running to carry out "rescue excavations".

He initially heard that in the prosperous and fertile land of the ancient Golden Dynasty in the south, an ancient king's tomb had recently been discovered. In addition, after breaking free from the shackles of the Zoroastrians, the land of the former Golden Dynasty experienced a period of chaos. After the Alan Chicken Eating Zone was opened earlier, several forces with the potential to win the championship have emerged.

The vast and prosperous territory near the Titanic Sea in the north is now ruled by a warlord with a legendary experience. He was originally born into a noble family, but was later demoted to a slave and sold. By chance, he started from scratch and became a self-made warlord. His force is the most powerful among the several forces vying for the title of King of Gold. Relying on trade and the output of the territory itself, his income alone is far higher than that of the other forces, and he can easily intercept new blood injections from overseas.

The others are either still gathering dust in the desert or struggling to survive by relying on strong cities and fortresses.

This warlord of Wo Tu, who unified the most prosperous region in the north, may have experienced many ups and downs, witnessed the warmth and coldness of human nature and the impermanence of the world, and was excellent in both personal morality and ability. He has gradually earned the title of a wise king. Although he himself is not a "local" of the Golden Dynasty, in Wo Tu, where horse herders frequently come and go and heroes from all sides gather to participate in the great cause, cultural lineage is really not a big deal.

What's more, the warlord himself was quite far-sighted. He himself had the blood of Zoroastrians, and his family came from the land of Canaan. He had no connection with the ancient descendants of the former Golden Dynasty. However, after his rise to power, he insisted on "changing customs and emphasizing etiquette" with his own practice. He painted his body white, wore a heavy golden crown and wig, and offered sacrifices to the kings in the ancient tombs. In order to win the recognition of his subjects, he even got closer to the ancient Golden Kings, arranged a "holy marriage" for himself, and married several of his female relatives who were also sold as slaves and were not found again until the warlord rose to power.

These have achieved considerable results. His power - now, it can be called a "regime" - has shown signs of reform and innovation, and the atmosphere of establishing a new dynasty has also been quite stable under his rule. He has adopted a policy of tolerance and acceptance of foreign trends.

The tomb that Kevin originally wanted to visit for archaeological excavation was under the jurisdiction of this person, so he felt quite relieved.

As a result, when sailing south from the Aegean Port, they passed through Nicosia, a large island in the Titanic Sea, and encountered pirates and storms one after another. They had to turn east to Canaan for rest.

It was during this visit to Canaan, which he had originally planned to stay for a short while, that he met Alan's team who were actively collecting books and materials and recruiting scholars.

Kevin was a well-known archaeologist and a scholar specializing in Zoroastrian history. These "Alans" soon came to visit him to recruit him.

Kevin initially wasn't very interested in pursuing academic careers in A-Lan, a country now embroiled in civil war. However, someone in the team that came to recruit him told him something that immediately caught his attention:

"Our target is in the north of the empire, Sylvan, the Land of Yellow Sand. You should have heard of this name." The hooded woman said this to him. Kevin thought for a while and immediately found from his memory the special features of this place and some secret marks left in the long river of history that no one has yet deciphered.

"It has nothing to do with power. What we are looking for is the secret of an 'Ancient One'..." "Eternal Sun? The King of Ashes..." Kevin didn't need the other party to finish his words. He immediately understood which 'Ancient One' the matter with Sylvain was related to.

It was Anna who was in charge of persuading Kevin at that time. She knew that this wizard who had no talent or pursuit in magic was mainly a "historian", so she used the statement "it has nothing to do with power...secrets" to persuade him.

Otherwise, Kevin might have simply thought that this was a team with wild ideas trying to dig out the "treasure" and "legacy" of the Witch King.

Sylvan is now under the control of the Alan Empire rebels. They went here to do archaeological excavations. It is obvious that they have close ties with the rebels and can easily be deduced.

Chapter 303

It can be concluded that they are actually the "tomb-robbers" of the rebels. It is not surprising that they do all kinds of weird things to win on the battlefield, not to mention the "normal" thing of pursuing the power of the ancient kings?

As expected, Kevin was indeed very interested in the so-called "Secret of the Witch King". In addition, he heard that the archaeological team going to Sylvan had originally sent people to Aegean to recruit Kevin, but they were a little slow. Kevin had already boarded the ship to the Fertile Land. If he had not encountered an accident on the way and temporarily stopped in Canaan, he would probably have missed this opportunity... He believed that all this was arranged by fate.

If that is the case, then we should obey.

So I followed this rebel archaeological team all the way to Sylvanus...

.........

Perhaps it was what he saw and heard along the way, the excitement of uncovering a shocking secret, or perhaps it was some special power that made Kevin ignore many abnormalities along the way.

For example, why is it worth it for the rebels to mobilize such a large number of manpower to dig out a "secret that has nothing to do with power"?

Why do Anna and others know so much about secrets that even he has never been exposed to?

And finally...

No one told him that the Tomb of Amen-Ra is not only the fucking "ancestral tomb" of the Grey King, but also has a fucking portal, and an old king of Il, who is "famous" for his cruelty and ruthlessness, may return through this place at any time!

Until this moment, many thoughts that had never been carefully considered in the past and had been blocked by some force came to mind and churned rapidly in Kevin's mind.

"Could it be... they are an old cult!?"

It's no wonder Kevin was surprised by Anna and others' behavior.

After officially finding the place and during the early excavation process, the archaeological team had to rely on Kevin's professional ability from time to time. However, the later it got, the less role Kevin could play. Even after entering Amen-Ra, Anna was able to tell many secrets that should only be known in ancient times... This is totally unreasonable. She can't be an ancient who survived to this day; what if they are a cult that secretly worships the old Witch Kings, wants to welcome back or obtain the power of the ancient kings, and has an unknown secret connection with the Void Outland, so they can obtain some secrets from the exiled Witch King and his followers, then everything makes sense!

......

Thinking of this, Kevin's heart sank immediately.

154: Opening the Door to the World

He thought about his current situation, but sadly found that he seemed powerless to do anything that would happen next.

He had brought three apprentices and a dozen mortal servants with him when he came to Sylvan—but even that number, combined, was less than the casual crew of the engineering team sent to excavate Amen-Ra.

You can't run away if you want to...

Among Kevin's three apprentices, two were real "mage apprentices", that is, novice mages who had just entered the first ring, and the other was a third-ring energy-shaping mage. But like him, they all came from wealthy backgrounds but had no talent. They realized very early that they could not explore too far in the field of magic, so they simply took advantage of their youth to develop an amateur, which was also a very decent side job.

According to Kevin's understanding: in the team they were traveling with, those silent, disciplined-looking purple-robed people who did not look like a group of "ordinary archaeologists" at all, any one of them was at least a third-ring spellcaster.

Of course, he didn't know that, except for the descendants of Ai'er he thought, everyone present had the psychic power brought by the blood of the four arms and the blood of the warlock, and their comparative strength was almost at the level of a five-ring wizard.

Any one of them could easily suppress Kevin.

Of course, even with just a superficial understanding, Kevin knew that he was now under someone's roof... He was nervous, but he didn't scream stupidly or try to run away. He just fell silent all of a sudden.

Anna looked at him, as if she had noticed something, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

Everyone is waiting for her.

She climbed to the highest step of the pyramid, and after receiving an order from a distant will, Anna tried to use her psychic power to touch the door.

"click"

Just as her power touched the bronze door, something strange happened.

El, whose real body was far away in Constantinople, also saw this scene "with his own eyes" through the shared perspective of his descendants attached to his psychic power.

A strange light burst out from the crack of the ancient bronze door set up by the King of Ashes, accompanied by a rumbling sound, and the pyramid seemed to tremble.

"The door is about to open!"

Kevin let out a scream.

Is the Lord of Ashes really coming back?

Anna was also shocked by the sudden movement, but she didn't know how to deal with it. She could only stand guard around the bronze door with everyone else, ready to take action at any time.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside the bronze gate.

"Father!" Anna exclaimed.

Who else could it be but Al who suddenly appeared?

Al ignored his descendants. Although his psychic premonition had already made him sure that this incident posed no threat to him, and he should be able to fully control the situation, out of caution, he silently unleashed his father's psychic power, and all the people on the pyramid, including Kevin, who was not his descendant, were teleported to the ground a hundred meters away.

【Wizard, tell me who you are】

A will asked him a question.

Chapter 304

El didn't answer immediately, but carefully felt the other party, its existence, its thoughts, everything about it...

However, his "rudeness" seemed to anger the other party, and the voice soon threatened him again.

You are not one of those despicable people who are connected... Before my patience runs out, tell me who you are, otherwise, face annihilation.

Al shook his head. In just a short moment, he had figured out everything about the other party.

"It seems I was too cautious in the past."

He thought so.

Al has always used his own thinking to take many things for granted.

For example, the wizards who explore the outer realms, or the old wizard kings who were exiled to the void... Because Ai'er knows the existence of the stars, because he knows the infinite possibilities that exist in endless time and space:

Parallel planes, unique native civilizations, countless fleeting sub-planes that are born and destroyed but contain rare treasures, extraordinary celestial civilizations, and the forces of the Ascended...

During the long activation period of his [Wall Breaker] talent, Ai'er had captured countless information about the world outside of Ai'er's world. Their bizarre power systems and world laws were rich treasures waiting to be discovered by those extraordinary people who were able to analyze and understand them.

So he naturally thinks:

The white-robed wizards who have been exploring the stars for a long time, from a hundred years to thousands or tens of thousands of years if they encounter a different flow of time, and the witch kings who were forced to "set sail" and sail to the outside world to open up new countries, must have visited, explored, invaded, and conquered too many worlds in the process. Their power should naturally far exceed the natives of the world of Il.

But he overlooked a crucial point:

The most difficult part of "discovering a new world" is not the exploration after landing, the most difficult process is the "discovery" that is the basis of everything.

The wizards of the world of Il took the right path. They overthrew the tyranny of the Witch King and liberated the Old Ones. This is right, that's right.

If they could promote the brilliance of Il magic to the whole world without reservation, then perhaps they would lead Il civilization to an unprecedented level of glory, and establish a glorious magical civilization that breaks through the constraints of the plane and strides towards the stars... However, their "revolution" was abandoned halfway. They founded the White Tower and set standards that bound the power of magic.

Ten high and mighty gods, ten witch kings who were criticized by the people, became one hundred virtuous and respected sages, one hundred white-robed wizards who preached and taught;

The rules they set constrained future generations, but they themselves were not satisfied with stopping there, so they abandoned their homes and went outward, ignoring how small and insignificant the power of an individual is among the stars.

The white-robed wizards were misled by their arrogance and their own selfish desires, and because of their selfish desires, the world of Ir remained almost stagnant for a long time after expelling the Witch King. From a broader perspective, the expansion of the intelligent life group and the growth in technology within the planet could not fundamentally change the world of Ir. The Ir people and Ir civilization were still just a "native indigenous civilization" that had not been able to break away from the protection and constraints of their home world and move towards the stars.

They are not essentially superior or inferior to the native worlds visited by the white-robed wizards.

The vast majority of the White Mages' long days away from home were spent wandering aimlessly. Unwilling to forsake the boundless treasures within the stars, they also chose not to return and build their birthplace into a stellar civilization capable of taking giant strides into the stars. The losers in the struggle, the forces of the Sorcerer King, were even weaker than they were...

Al overestimated them and underestimated himself.

The inheritance of the Returned One falls on him.

The object of "integration" and "acceptance" is a large group of ascenders that exist across dimensions, representing an entire universe and an entire extraordinary civilization.

........

Al turned his head, and silently, a fragment of his arrogant and angry will was erased.

No one, not even the Ash King who left this clone, knows.

What's Al got here?

A bunch of keys.

Open the door to an endless world.

He glanced at his descendants who were waiting for his orders, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I need a volunteer... Forget it." Al thought about it and decided that since there was no risk, there was no need for the kids to explore the way.

"I'll do it myself."

Chapter 1: The huge boy and the blonde girl outside the R.P.D.

"Where the hell is this?"

Al was distracted and rolled out of bed, appearing in front of an unfamiliar building.

In front of me was a large iron gate. I looked up and saw the flickering firelight in the dark night, illuminating the three huge letters "R.P.D" on the iron gate, which were still glowing with a faint white light.

Al felt that this place was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was. When a gust of night wind blew, he felt a chill all over his body, and suddenly he smelled a strong smell at the tip of his nose.
