The patriarch of the Ancatero family, Vorgus, was still alive, and although he was very weak, he had finally recovered from the hypothermia and mild suffocation.Andahel found out that the old patriarch had survived and immediately moved him to a warmer place: Hesperith.Hesperius was standing a little helplessly in the middle of the hall, her body radiating a warm glow that healed from injuries and lifted spirits, better suited to the current situation than the fierce witcher flame and restless fire magic.The Tana, who were in the most critical situation, were moved to her side, recovering little by little by the light of the goddess of dusk.It seems that the principle of making the best use of things is not only common among the strange people in Hao Ren's house, but also the other aliens and witchers know how to make good use of various supernatural powers, and Hesperith is now a heater......
Hao Ren, Hasselblad and the others came to the patriarch's side, and saw that this old Tana man with a pale golden complexion was slowly opening his eyes under the care of Andahel, he glanced around a little confusedly, and seemed to be unable to grasp the situation: "I am ......
Who are you?
”"Vogus," Andaher grabbed the old patriarch's hand, "listen to me, things have calmed down for the time being, these are the people who have come to search and rescue. ”"I'm Hasselblad, the elder witcher, and this one next to me is Hao Ren, the leader of an alien sanctuary in Asia," Hasselblad nodded to Vorgus, perhaps never expecting himself to speak to an alien patriarch in this way one day, "How are you feeling now?"
”"It's okay," Vogus struggled to his feet, droplets of condensation dripping from his clothes, coughing vigorously a few times, spitting out some of the biomass he had brought out of the freezer, and then he noticed the people around him who were being cared for, "Is everyone else alright?"
”Hasselblad and Haoren told the patriarch about the current situation, and finally told him that it was now a month later—and that there should be only a few hundred people left in the entire Ancatero Territory.Unexpectedly, Vogus was calm when he heard this, as if he had thought of the worst before he walked into the cryogenic facility, and now it was only confirmed, or maybe the Tana people's emotional expressions were not the same as those of the earthlings, and it was difficult for Haoren and Hasselblad to discern the obvious grief in the expressionless alien face.Vivien walked up from behind, and she leaned slightly in front of Vorgus, "I'm Vivien, Vivien?"
Ansesta, I don't know if your family has any records about me. ”The moment he heard Vivian's name, Vorgus's pale golden face finally showed an expression that earthlings could understand, and he looked surprised, and when he looked at Vivian, his eyes seemed to be looking at a living mythical story: "Vivian?!"
You are...... ......"
Great, it seems that at least the inheritance has not been broken with you," Vivien exhaled, "My memory is lost, and the family outside is scattered, and I am afraid that I will never find someone to tell me what happened." ”Hao Ren had a lot of questions to get answers from Vogus, so after giving the patriarch a little rest to regain his strength, he immediately began a series of inquiries with Hasselblad.When asked about Amtura and the witchers, Vogus's answer was similar to what Andahr knew, so these questions were quickly brushed over, and Hao Ren's main concern was innate hostility and the shadow of chaos."
What the hell are you sealing?"
Hao Ren's mind was full of this, "Are they creatures?"
Is it a phenomenon?
Or is it some kind of curse?
”Vogus leaned against a pillar and said in a low voice: "No, it's not anything that can be described, it's an abstract ......
Concept, that is the dark side of the gods' hearts, the wrath and hatred of the gods, it is not a curse, but something more abstract than a curse, something that is difficult for mortal wisdom to understand. ”Hao Ren was stunned when he heard this answer, because he couldn't help but think of what the spirit detective Pierre said before - the shadow of chaos is the embodiment of the dark side in the hearts of those ancient alien gods, and it is the result of the gradual materialization of the hatred generated by the ancient gods (such as the Zeus family and the Odin family) in the battle.But this statement came from the mouth of a spirit detective, and Hao Ren had great doubts about its reliability from the beginning, he didn't expect that the Ancatro family, who was in charge of guarding the seal, would also think so!
Could it be that those things are really the embodiment of the dark mask in the minds of the aliens?
Is it the primordial sin in the hearts of the supernatural races?
If that's the case, it's mysterious.Hao Ren couldn't see the expression on Vogus's face, but Vogus knew the emotions of the earthlings very well, and he knew what the other party was thinking when he saw Hao Ren's expression change, but he could only shake his head: "I know you are very confused about this statement, but this is all I know, these are all words handed down by the ancestors, I just recite it to you as it is."
The shadows of chaos were indescribable from the beginning, and even our ancestors didn't know how to explain them to future generations, so this vague metaphor has been passed down from generation to generation. ”"Okay, Shadow of Chaos doesn't mention it yet, let's just think it's the evil of this world," Vivien waved her hand impatiently, "What does that thing have to do with innate hostility?"
Why did those shadows come alive after the hostility between the aliens disappeared?
”Voguth smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know, if I knew, this incident wouldn't have happened, my memory is still stuck in a month ago, you know, for me, Shadow of Chaos just broke free from the seal a few hours ago, so all I can tell you now is the various teachings I inherited from my ancestors." ”Vivien was apparently not satisfied with this answer, so Vorgus pondered for a moment and said one of his previous conjectures: "If there must be an answer......
Perhaps the Shadow of Chaos is another manifestation of the innate hostility between the races. ”"Shadow of Chaos is an innate hostility?"
Hao Ren quickly heard this from Vogus's words, "You said those shadows......
Is it the appearance of the 'innate hostility' in the alien bloodline being extracted?
”"Our ancestors left some words," said Vogus in a low voice, "'We are the cursed exiled into this world, and a lasting curse will fall on us forever,' a curse that refers to the hostility of the races, so that this hostility cannot be lifted from the beginning.But I had had unwanted illusions, and I had no idea that trying to lift the curse would result in such a terrible backlash: the Shadows of Chaos might be the sentinels watching over the curse, and when the hostility of the various races was gone, they would immediately break the seal and rush out to 'infect' us again, so that the cycle of killing would continue forever. ”Hao Ren knew that Vogus's words contained a lot of his own speculation, so he didn't dare to believe it all, but the other party's statement was still worth paying attention to: the Shadow of Chaos was innate hostility, and the two would complement and resonate with each other, once the innate hostility of each race disappeared, the Shadow of Chaos would appear and re-infect all races, starting innate hostility again.This mechanism is like a malignant virus with self-healing functions, deeply rooted in the bloodlines of various supernatural races.If you believe this statement, you can basically explain what everyone has experienced in this exotic space so far."
But even if you talk about those shadows so mysteriously, I sealed them with your ancestors," Vivien crossed her arms and looked at Vorgus, "I remember it was sealed into something called the Sun Wheel, where is that plate?"
Let's go see how it goes. ”Compared to the others, Vivien's attitude towards the Shadow of Chaos was slightly disdainful, probably because she had successfully sealed that thing once a long time ago, and she had a kind of secret confidence in her heart - but this bat spirit had completely forgotten that she had forgotten even the talent tree back then......
"Sun Roulette ......"
Vogus's voice was a little solemn for a while, "You once helped my ancestor control that artifact, of course you are qualified to see it, but do you still know what it is?"
”"I've heard Andahel say that you didn't make the Sun Wheel, you're just keeping it," Vivien nodded slightly, "It's an artifact that's older than your family's. ”"It came from an unknown place, something made by some great being that we can't understand," Vogus's voice was a little afraid, "Yes, it's an artifact, but it has nothing to do with the word 'sacred', it's something that brings calamity, it's the original vessel of the Shadow of Chaos, and maybe even the source of innate hostility, but let's not talk about destroying it, we've done everything we can to keep it stable for thousands of years."
It was a thing that was full of destruction and madness from the inside out, even when the seal was still intact, and now that the seal was broken, I couldn't imagine it. ”(To be continued.) )
