Lorisa obviously knows a lot of things, and Hao Ren has heard countless clues and doubts from her words, but the mental state of this "elf queen" is obviously not suitable for a long conversation, especially after knowing the truth of 10,000 years of time, her spirit has been greatly hit, and the mental state and soul structure that have finally stabilized have signs of chaos again - Hao Ren had to interrupt the conversation in advance, so that the "ancient elf" who was in a state of confusion in time and space could rest.While Lorissa was resting, he returned to the central laboratory with his staff, trying to find the "energy source" that should theoretically exist.In any case, he didn't think that the thing that carried the divine power of the goddess would be destroyed so easily: after all, even those rebel runes on the walls of the laboratory were still intact, and the container of the true god's divine power would not even be comparable to that, right?
A group of people searched for a long time and found nothing, and Lily, the impatient first shouted: "Landlord!
Could that energy source you mentioned not exist at all-we've been looking for it for a long time, and that thing is a ...... you've deduced" "It's really just my reasoning," Hao Ren raised an eyebrow, "but it's completely logical, isn't it?"
The ancient magic emperor wanted to infuse the power of the gods into the mortal cells, and the first step was to have 'divine power', and without such an energy source, the state of time in this ruin could not be explained. ”"The most important thing is those runes," Vivien looked up from a pile of twisted metal fragments, several small bats flew around her to help, small bats clutching a few pieces of metal in their claws, "Although those runes on the wall can be used to enhance protection, the most important role is to resist the divine power of the goddess of creation, since the central laboratory is full of such runes, it means that this laboratory has stored divine energy." ”"Okay, okay, you guys have a point."
Lily raised the fire and waved it with great joy, muttering in her mouth, and bent down to continue digging the pit, but just as she poked her claw blade into the metal ruins again, a strange impact came from the tip of the blade, and she was stunned for a moment."
Hosts!
Landlord!!
”The husky girl suddenly shouted, "I've dug it, I've dug something!"
”Hao Ren was startled by the dog's movement, and only after hearing it did he look at Vivian: The dog is shaving things, this is fast!
After the ruins were placed on the ground, and then crouched beside them with a guarded face like a guard bone, the nearby knights tried to come over and open their eyes and were startled back by her few low roars, only Hao Ren and Vivien and Betsy were allowed to get close to watch.Hao Ren leaned over and took a look at it and was stunned: because he was familiar with this thing, he had seen a piece of it before!
It was an irregularly shaped "slab" of metal and stone, floating with a misty glow, and its surface was inscribed with mysterious runes.The runes seemed to be unconnected, and mortals would feel dizzy even by looking at them, but the translation plugin was able to decipher messy, seemingly meaningless bits of words.The moment he saw this thing, Hao Ren knew why Lily would unswervingly wait next to the "baby" to prevent others from approaching, it was not that the dog girl instinctively attacked in the nursing home to protect the food, but to prevent the ordinary people present from accidentally seeing the symbol on the stone slab.The Tablet of Truth, the record of words left by the goddess of creation.This slab is more dangerous than ordinary "sacred objects", because it has not only been touched by the gods and possessed divinity, but also directly carries the powerful thoughts of the gods, which are even enough to distort the surrounding real world, causing those who come close to them to be directly impacted by the divine power.However, the "strength" of the stone tablet in front of him is obviously not as good as the Truth Tablet that Hao Ren found in Kolo's Asuman spaceship, it does not radiate much divine power, and Hao Ren has not been able to sense its existence through the perception of the demigod before, but the divine power runes on it that seem to be swimming at any time can confirm that this thing is indeed a Truth Tablet.It seems that this slate also has different functions and energy levels, Asuman's slate is used to suppress Lokmaden, so it has extremely offensive and radiation capabilities, and this piece is mostly reserved for mortals, its lethality is greatly weakened, and mortals who are trained or gifted may be able to touch it unharmed - but the ordinary knights and mage apprentices around are obviously not among them."
Uh......h What the hell is this......
I was dizzy ...... when I saw it" Betsy leaned over to look at it and covered her eyes and muttered - she did have a certain resistance to the words condensed by these divine powers, after all, she was one of the people who ate and drank in Hao Ren's house at the beginning, but her degree of mixing and drinking was obviously not enough, so she couldn't help but be dizzy when she barely read the divine text.But this is at least much better than ordinary people: if it were those knights around, I am afraid that they would faint on the spot with just one look."
This is a divine text, and it is a divine text with 'meaning', don't read it rashly."
Hao Ren said to Betsy, then bent down and slowly reached for the Truth Slate.The messy fragments flashed through his mind, but he didn't find any meaningful information in them after they dissipated."
Landlord, what's written on it?"
Lily leaned over curiously."
I'm afraid that the 'oracle' in this has been extracted by the Magic Emperors and used to create the primordial cells of the Demon Hunters," Hao Ren shook his head and stood up, "Now this thing is just an empty shell with artifact attributes."
However, it can also be confirmed that the ruins' time standstill is indeed due to this stone tablet: I can observe that it has distorted the space-time around it, and although this distortion has subsided, the incongruity left behind by the change in the flow of time is still there. ”"So the Magic Emperors really got the oracle of the Goddess of Creation to start creating witchers?"
Lily scratched her hair, "Are they with the Creator or with the Godslayer?"
”Vivien looked around—the blasphemous runes still glittering on the walls of the hall not far away.The oracle of the goddess of creation and the runes of the god-killing race appeared in the same place, and that they were part of the same plan, which was absolutely unimaginable before today."
Don't forget what Lorisa said before," Hao Ren glanced at Vivien and Lily, "she said the oracle was fake. ”"Is this mantra tablet fake?"
Lily incredulously pointed to the "baby" that had been dug out by herself."
No, the mantra tablet is true, but the information recorded in it is not necessarily, even if the information recorded in it is true, the process of interpreting it may be fake," Hao Ren shook his head, "After all, mortals can't read this thing directly, and there are too many links that can go wrong with using the mantra tablet to transmit oracles." ”Vivien sighed: "Actually, what I don't understand the most is why the goddess of creation used such a mantra tablet to transmit the 'oracle', which is obviously a 'letter' that can only be used between gods and demigods, and it is not suitable for mortal society at all."
According to the teachings of the Goddess Sect and their previous experience, the goddess could communicate directly with her followers through heart-to-heart conversations, and she could have conveyed the oracle in a clearer and more definite way, so the slate itself was a suspicious point. ”Lily blinked: "Didn't you say that you need to have a 'carrier' to transmit divine power?"
Therefore, I use a mantra slate with substance. ”Vivien glanced at the husky spirit lightly: "Can't you write the express mail separately from the message when you send the express?"
Do you have to engrave words on things?
”Hao Ren felt that Vivien's explanation was as incisive as thunder, and the husky girl was immediately stunned and speechless."
The 'Elven Queen' should know the inside story," Hao Ren put the Truth Slate into his personal space, and glanced around the central laboratory one last time: this time, he felt that there should be nothing missing here, "We can study this matter well when we go back." ”When he returned to the royal capital again, Hao Ren's team had one more person: the Magic Emperor from 10,000 years ago, Lorissa.Because there were some things to discuss on the way, the people did not directly teleport back to the city in space, but first teleported outside the city, and then took the carriage sent by Marshal Ophra to greet them, and Lorissa rode with Hao Ren and his party.Their discoveries in the Dark Mountains had been compiled into a report and sent to the royal capital through the Royal Mage's teleportation technique as soon as possible, and both Marshal Ofrah and King Moron were greatly interested in the secrets buried in the ruins, and were shocked by the "presence" of an ancient magic emperor, so Hao Ren prepared to take Lorissa to meet them.After a period of rest, the "Elf Queen" looked much better, but there was still a trace of tiredness between her eyebrows.As the carriage passed through the city gates, she looked out through the gap in the carriage window, and the majestic fortress of the royal capital of Halletta met her eyes, causing the ancient elf's face to waver and dazed for a moment.Along the way, she had seen this expression more than once, when she left the ruins and saw the dark mountains that had completely returned to the wilderness, when she reached the top of the mountain, when she saw the former prosperous capital turned into fertile land, and now, when she saw the city built of stones.In the end, all the emotions converged into one sentence, and she sighed softly: "Ten thousand years, ......"
Hao Ren just looked at the "Magic Emperor" who looked too young quietly, and only after a long time did he suddenly speak: "Are you really Lolisa?"
That elven queen Lorissa?
