Chapter 1369 Civilized Cemetery and Lantern Man (Two updates!)
somewhere in the multiverse
The lantern holder named Elger is walking out of the deep mausoleum.
And on this cliff, there is an inconspicuous, even somewhat narrow cave, which is the entrance to the great mausoleum.
At this moment, the cold storm from the Black Coast is howling through this huge split-like gap.
Elgor tightened his sweater.
He is already a bit old.
The wasted years have left a profound imprint on his body.
Those once fresh breaths no longer exist.
Just like every lantern holder, Elgor's body was filled with the cold and twilight aura like a mausoleum.
After passing through the path between the cliffs, which may be more suitable for sheep, Erger came to his small wooden house also built on the cliff.
This place is located in the vast dry Gobi desert, so there is no need to worry about fire or the like.
Therefore, even when Erger entered the mausoleum, he did not extinguish the burning fireplace in the wooden house.
However, what makes Elger a little annoyed is:
He didn't drink the scalding hot tea as expected.
Because, an old guy that he didn't like that much had already occupied the place where he usually sat when he rested in the wooden house.
The old guy even drank all his tea!
"If you're not hanging out with those goddesses in heaven, why are you here?"
Elgor looked at the other party angrily and said.
"Elgor, your respect for the gods is decreasing day by day..."
"Is it the life in the tomb that makes you no longer believe in the promises made by the gods to you?"
When the visitor heard the words, he said noncommittally.
"Respect?"
"There are enough people who respect you, why don't you include me as the lantern holder."
Erger put the lantern in his hand and hung it on the wall.
Then, he came over and reluctantly picked up the teapot and shook it again.
After discovering that he had indeed drank all the wine from this visitor, the dissatisfaction on Elger's face became even more serious.
"Look at your stingy look, just a little tea..."
"My old friend is here, can't I have some tea from you?"
When the visitor saw this, he couldn't help but joke.
"If you really come to have some tea, that would be easy."
"But it's not like you're coming with good news..."
Erger glanced at the person coming, and he knew that this guy was probably planning to do something else.
The reason why the man with the lantern does not like the gods also has sufficient historical roots:
In the past history of the Lantern Man, this is not the first time that the gods have done such a bad thing.
The lantern holders don't care about the loneliness and suffering they suffer.
But this does not mean that they can still maintain a peaceful attitude when someone tries to "add to" this loneliness and suffering.
"If you have something to say, go away if you have nothing to say."
Elgor lay down and said angrily.
Seeing this, the visitor shook his head and then pointed in the direction of the mausoleum:
"That guy's seal is coming soon, right?"
Erger couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He knew that these guys would not come here if they were fine.
This is the place where many civilizations fell, and it is also the eternal mausoleum where thousands of heroes rest.
Here, both magic and divine power are severely curbed.
Only those holding lanterns that continue the light of salvation from ancient times can move through it relatively freely.
"It's been a little irritable lately..."
Elger murmured.
He knew what the visitor was talking about.
Although this is the cemetery of many civilizations and heroic spirits.
But this does not mean that there are difficult enough historical issues in every part of the mausoleum.
In fact, it is quite unlucky for every lantern holder to encounter a seal that is about to expire in his entire career.
More often than not, people who hold lanterns spend peaceful and lonely years in deep and remote years that may not be so peaceful.
It was once the weapon of a brutal war god.
In other words, to a large extent, that weapon is the main body of the God of War.
In some unknown period of chaos, the God of War used it to slaughter countless powerful creatures...
But no matter how violent the will is, no matter how powerful the power is, it cannot always resist the end of civilization.
When the dusk bell rings with a loud and long sound at the fateful end of the world.
Everything should be returned to the eternal sleep in the cold tomb...
But like many wills that are also unwilling to do so, this bloodthirsty weapon is also unable to accept such a peaceful sleep.
In the long history of recorded existence, this weapon has tried to seduce, twist, and even possess the man with the lantern, not once or twice.
It even succeeded once.
That created a bloody tragedy called "The Lantern Massacre"...
Although the victims were a group of somewhat unlucky fishmen who were migrating seasonally according to tribal customs.
And after the massacre, the seal of this weapon was upgraded to the highest level.
Because among the ranks of the fish-men tribe, there was also the fish-man god at that time...
Although until now, even the gods have not understood what the fish-man god wants to do when he descends to earth in his true form.
But his tragic death made the gods truly realize the danger of this weapon again.
Even though it is relatively weak and can even be controlled by the existence it possesses, it can directly kill a true god who is not a weak divine power.
If it were controlled by a truly powerful evil person, what kind of devastating horrific disaster would it cause?
In order to prevent such a situation from happening, the gods built what can be called the strongest seal.
In order to ensure the stability of the seal, this seal has a cycle period of one thousand years.
The so-called supreme and eternal seal of all things is actually not recognized by the gods.
After they experienced the infinite time, the gods were able to understand the disobedience of so-called "eternity".
Periodic updates appear to increase the likelihood of variability.
But it also limits these variables within controllable categories.
As mentioned in the introduction, this is the mausoleum of civilization and heroic spirits, and the power of divinity cannot fully act here.
Therefore, this period-limited seal allows the gods to concentrate their power in a relatively short period of time.
This is recorded in the inheritance of the Lantern Man.
Elgor didn't bother to pay attention to the real thoughts of the gods.
"Are you ready?"
Ergel looked at the person coming and asked.
"Yes, the gods have completed their deliberations and made a decision."
The visitor looked at Elger, then paused and said:
"We decided: let it out..."
Ergel's pupils suddenly tightened when he heard this.
The next moment, with the sudden burst of aura from Elgor, Elgor was forced back by the dazzling divinity reflected in the opponent's body.
"It's not an illusion..."
"So, you've finally gone crazy?"
Erger squinted his eyes and looked at the person coming with doubts.
