Four-Armed Divine Emperor

Even after the War of the Old Ones, the world of Ir was still in chaos as a whole. It was only after the White Tower order was established that the strong men at the top of the pyramid reached a consensus—after the Witch King failed and was kicked out, the strong men in the world would naturally be "sages" wearing white robes.

The fight between the powerful beings also came to an end at this stage.

After all, we are all "comrades-in-arms" and have the experience of fighting against the ancient kings together.

There is also the White Tower, the only big platform in the mortal world. Conflicts can be resolved and arbitrated, and interests can be negotiated and consulted. If a fight really breaks out, there will be people who will come forward to mediate. If there are those who are really wild and unruly and like to stir up trouble, after arousing public anger, everyone will kick them out, "revoke your French citizenship" and "remove your white robes", and label them as the remnants of the Witch King's party and make them public enemies of the world.

Before all this, there was thousands of years of endless hatred between mortals and mortals, extraordinary people and extraordinary people, races and races, countries and countries, and "gods and gods".

By Celine

Chapter 399

For those who came from that era, there were many ways to protect themselves.

Even after the establishment of the White Tower Order, for nearly a thousand years, Celine basically had not fought with anyone of the same level, even if it was just a competitive fight, but this did not hinder her sharp reactions at all.

When he realized something was wrong, he immediately cast a spell, trying to tear through the space rift and escape.

This is not an ordinary teleportation spell, but a "sage's art" that even a newly promoted ninth-ring wizard may not be able to master.

In essence, what Celine opened was not a Nayil space channel. That kind of channel was too low-level. If a strong person of the same level encountered it, it could be easily locked with a dimensional anchor.

She opened a tiny crack in the "shell" of the Il world, leading to the outer void of the world.

Then she would leave the Il world directly through this rift—and then through the anchor point she had set in advance, and open another rift leading to her designated target, which could be her retreat, the wizard tower, the garden city, or the astral gate of another floating city, and then go in, achieving something that ordinary teleportation spells could not do, which involved the displacement of "world crossing".

It is equivalent to you being chased in the game, you just quit the game and then re-enter, which is a method that cannot be restricted by conventional means.

The crack that opened was very small and very short-lived. For the entire world, it would not even take a few breaths for the world barrier to self-repair and "close".

But this was enough for Celine to dodge and escape.

Normally, even if the incident happened suddenly, as long as there were not multiple opponents of the same level or above, and they had made sufficient preparations in advance, and Celine was unaware of it, for example, she was invited to a meeting in Sky City, and the sages of the same level as her who were currently left in the world on the human side planned to kill all the elves, and they made arrangements in advance to expand the rights of minorities as a call for invitation, she could use this trick to escape the siege of ten times her number of enemies.

Unless you lose control instantly and can't even think of casting a spell.

As for an enemy who could make a legendary great sage of the elves, wearing a nine-ring white robe, lose consciousness in an instant, in a one-on-one fight, there may not have been one in the world of Il yet.

But obviously, Ai'er cannot be considered an "Ir person".

He also received the abnormal feedback from the water element to Celine.

Moreover, his reaction was faster and earlier than Celine's. The powerful psychic power surged out and instantly locked the surrounding space.

This is Al's territory!

From the perspective of time, this space has been frozen!

......

For Celine, even without her noticing anything, her vision flashed in an instant, and she had left the sky and entered the interior of a grand building. In front of her, there was a man whose face could not be seen lying on a bench, and there was a huge bronze door next to him.

All her clothes were stripped off, and both her mind and body were psychically shackled by El, making it impossible for her to cast any spells or even think about it. Taking off her clothes was not El's wish for the "antique" body of this elf who was 4,327 years, 7 months and 21 days old.

Instead, it was on Celine's body, including her inconspicuous robe, which was essentially a "part" of Celine herself, and was engraved with 321 instant and guided spells that required her willpower, as well as 74 purely passively triggered spells of various kinds.

"Hello, Xilin Ye Ge, the Archmage of the White Tower, the first person I've officially met who is the most powerful in the world..."

"My name is Al."

The man looked at her and said softly:

"I've been feeling pretty bored lately, even though I've already had two different perspectives to enjoy. But I do crave more 'stimulation.'"

"Let's play a game. I ask questions and you answer."

A strange smile curved Al's lips.

"I'm the warden, and you're trying to escape?"

Chapter 71: Revealing the Truth

Celine was horrified.

This is natural.

As a legendary wizard, her mind is much more agile than that of ordinary people, and her knowledge is more extraordinary. Naturally, she can quickly accept any seemingly fantastic things happening in front of her or to her.

She tried to "cast a spell"—but was met with a blank, as if the memory of the spell had been wiped from her mind. But the memory of the spell... seemed a bit confusing. It was basically that Celine knew she was a world-renowned Nobel Prize winner, one of the top 100 people with the highest IQs in the world, with a doctorate degree, numerous awards and honors, and many successful students all over the world...

But at this moment, there was a math problem in front of her: "1+1=?". She knew that this problem was very simple, at the elementary school, no, kindergarten level, but she just couldn't remember it. She racked her brains but couldn't find and fill in the answer to the "?" from her own cognition.

But her mind clearly remembered her past experiences, old battles, fights with powerful enemies, and all kinds of profound spells. She could use them at will, and the memories of the past were vivid. But now, she was a legendary sage, a nine-ringed wizard, a powerful person standing at the top of the world of Il, and a "seeker of knowledge" at the forefront of the path of "magic".

However, she was unable to form the spell of the [Elemental Mastery] magic that even a wizard apprentice must learn.

She could even sense the magical elements in the air, but she could not detect even the smallest flame or drop of water.

Chapter 400

Cannot be manufactured.

The horror of El's psychic power was revealed at this time—it was not only a shackle at the cognitive level, but also a tampering of the "concept"!

He always knew that he did not have a clear understanding of his current strength.

El thought he was only restricting Celine's memory, but in fact he made Celine completely lose the ability to "cast spells" in the magic field of El's world!

Even if you bring a magic scroll that anyone, even a beast, can release by tearing it open and give it to Celine to use, it will not have any effect!

Celine was "forced to shut down" the "spellcasting module" in the Il world!

It can be said that apart from her extraordinary body, she is now unable to even transform into an element - because the latter is also considered a kind of "magic" by the public.

And she has an extremely clear understanding of this. Nothing can terrify a spellcaster more than this!

You should know that even the White Tower's most severe punishment for a wizard is deprivation of the right to cast spells.

Only by using potions combined with magic spells performed by higher-level wizards can restrictions be placed on those who have committed serious crimes, such as practicing necromancy and causing extremely adverse effects, or diehard spellcasters who have been privately cultivated for the secular world. In essence, more powerful magic is used to suppress their weak magic.

When you reach the seventh ring and above, because you can transform your body into elements, mages at this level can no longer simply use this kind of punishment. The methods are more troublesome and complicated, and most of them are still "negotiated solutions". For example, if you commit a crime, you will be locked up in the mage tower for dozens or hundreds of years and not allowed to go out, and the matter will be considered over. Or you will be forcibly kicked out to explore the star realm, which is equivalent to another kind of exile, and it is up to you whether you live or die.

At least in Celine's memory, there has never been such an "unimaginable" method that can make people lose the ability to cast spells!

She even clearly remembered that she could enter the elemental body at any time, and knew the names, functions, and effects of those engraved instant and guided magic spells, but she just couldn't remember how to use them. Those spells that could be triggered according to the surrounding environment, thoughts, and even emotions seemed to be erased at this moment.

At this moment, Celine's inner self is as naked as her outer self, naked and vulnerable.

But the great wizard was a great wizard after all. In just a few breaths—the time it took for Al to finish speaking those few words—Celine's appearance calmed down.

She did not answer Al's question, but glanced around, as if observing the environment, or looking for the two disciples who followed her. In fact, this was a deception. Celine wanted to create the appearance that she cared about the two students very much, so that the unknown "enemy" in front of her might use them as bargaining chips or tools to deal with Celine.

In fact, if there was even a slight chance to give up both of them in exchange for her own escape, Celine would not have hesitated at all. At her level and knowledge, she did have feelings, but it was impossible for her to care so much about everyone she had been with. Otherwise, the accumulated emotions of separation and death alone would be enough to make her unbearable.

And Al also saw this clearly. Celine's heart and thoughts were transparent to him, and she had no secrets at all.

"who are you?"

Al had spoken, so it was Celine's turn to ask questions.

"I don't recall such a character in 'The Exiles'."

He was able to capture me in an instant and "interrogate me alone", even if the other party used other external factors, so he couldn't be an unknown and insignificant figure on the enemy side.

"Thousands of years have passed since that defeat in Nayil. Time in the Outer Void flows at a different rate than here. Do you still think the 'Exiles' are all the same people?" Ai'er laughed. "Thousands of years or tens of thousands of years? After your victory, you've lost your reckless courage and allowed the Exiles to flourish in the Outer Realm, euphemistically calling it 'competition' and 'diversity'. Haven't you considered that if the Exiles truly find opportunity, grow stronger, and impose a more terrifying, more solid order on the mortal world?"

Celine was silent.

Of course, the truth is not as exaggerated as Al said. The exiles have been dormant for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

They did run to the "Outer Void", but this "outer" is relative to Inner El. In fact, El has now grasped the location of those "remnants of the Old Ones". Judging from the coordinates, they are very close to the location of the El world, which is similar to the failure of the Earth government and its escape to the moon or Mars.

El can go there at any time, but there are certain risks in going to someone else's house. He has not yet unified Neyr, so it is not easy to absorb the psychic power of the entire world to provide himself with blessings. It is easy to go out, but if the psychic signal is poor, there is a considerable risk of failure.

"Who are you?" the Elf's Archmage asked again, "You don't seem to consider yourself one of 'them'. So who are you? Are you the one behind the Alan people's affairs?"

Al suddenly began to understand why the mastermind always liked to talk big and reveal his plans to prisoners and weak opponents.

In addition to using verbal attacks to buy time for the protagonist to advance the plot, the feeling of dominating everything, controlling everything, and revealing a shocking truth to the ants who are being toyed with by oneself is really damn good!

Chapter 72: Communication with the Female Elf

He is the same now.

From an objective time perspective, the time from "exposure" to "capture" of Celine is actually

It was just a short period of time, less than five minutes from the time she was exposed to the time she asked the question just now.

At this time, even among mortals, it seems difficult to know anything useful, whether through interrogation or inquiry. Even for prisoners, it takes a certain amount of time to torture and force a confession from them and break their psychological defenses.

But Al was different. After Celine was defeated in this "confrontation" that she didn't even react to, she was stripped naked and used as an object of Al's pleasure. This was a very short period of time, which could almost be said to be a moment in the dimension of her long life. Al already knew everything he wanted to know.

Maybe even the secrets that Celine ignored or forgot, when Al wanted to know them, he could "remember" and "find" them faster and better than her.

However, Al did not treat the other party as a meaningless human database and toy because of his "omniscience" in a certain sense. Although he could transform into a natural disaster with a single click, he would still choose to follow a simple "rules of the game" in many cases.

He would not let himself know everything directly, even if he could read the other person's mind or use his psychic power to enter the other person's mind and know Celine's every move, words and actions at the same time, but what's the point?

He is still acting, or rather, "playing" the role of an "extraordinary person" in his own eyes.

This is where his pleasure and knowledge lie.

"I have a lot in common with 'them' you mentioned. At least, I share some of their characteristics."

El hinted, and as he expected, with Celine's insight and quick thinking, she quickly figured out the key. She looked at the ancient bronze door, combined with the surrounding reliefs, murals, and architectural style, this unknown building was indeed the native style of the El world.

The pyramid originated from the Golden Dynasty. As an ancient civilization, the "King of Law" who has disappeared in the dust of history was once the earliest "Witch King" in recorded civilization. The huge pyramid was the tomb he built for himself. It was regarded by the world as a kind of sacred image and was widely circulated and imitated in the Eastern world.

As for the reliefs and murals, they are obviously in the style of early Zoroastrians. Obviously, this is a place built by Zoroastrians, perhaps the interior of an underground palace or a tomb?

Considering her original purpose for this trip, the intelligence she had gathered, and the problems she had encountered in Sylvania, Celine had every reason to suspect that her current location was the exact destination of her trip to Alan.

The place that is said to hold the deepest secrets of the King of Ashes!

What "greatest secret" could a "Witch King", an exile who was expelled from his own country and territory after losing the war and lost all his glory and power in the mortal world, have?

Celine believed that this was obviously related to His return.

that's the truth.

The spatial fluctuations remaining on the door are the best explanation.

It is true that Celine lost her ability to cast spells, but her vision, cognitive thinking, and perception were not taken away.

She almost immediately determined that the door in front of her was a special "coordinate", a "strange object". It might be ordinary in appearance, but in essence it was a space channel many times larger than the rift created by the spell she used to try to tear the space, jump out of the world and then jump back. It was restricted by someone using special means, so that this space channel would neither expand disorderly and cause collapse and eventually be detected by the White Tower, nor be bridged by the world's self-repair ability.

It is essentially the same as the way mages return to Il after traveling to the astral realm, through this fixed large "gate".

In Nayil, all public "gates" are under the control of the White Tower and are located above the Sky City. Now that one has suddenly appeared in this place, the meaning behind it is self-evident.

"The work of the Witch King, or the Gray King." This thought came to Celine when she thought of this.

Combined with what Al said...

Celine turned to look at Al, her eyes filled with bitterness, and said, "You...are from the 'Outland'?"

"A real 'alien civilization'?"

If there was any similarity between El, a mysterious and powerful man who was completely unknown to Celine, and the existence in his mouth, which seemed to subtly describe the exiles as a whole as an object inferior to him, this was the only thing Celine could think of.

It is absolutely impossible for such a creature to be born in Neyil's native land!

"It seems you also know that those exiles didn't get very far, and what kind of life they live in the desolate world."

Al nodded, agreeing with the other party's statement.

After all, the Earth is obviously an alien civilization for Il.

As for the four-arm bloodline and the inheritance of the Returning One, there is no need to mention them.

Xilin smiled bitterly:

"You came to Il through the passage they left behind?"

If this is true, then the Witch King really dug a big hole for the Neiel world. The secret backdoor they left for themselves was probably intended to be used for "counterattack on the world" one day in the future. As a result, thousands of years have passed, and the counterattack king's army has not been seen many times. Instead, another enemy from another civilization was lured here and easily sneaked into the Neiel world.

Al shook his head: "I don't even know how I got here, but this door really helped me a lot - it helped me open the way to other worlds.
