527 The Truth of History
After hearing the conversation between Angus and Cory, Gregory seemed to have thought of something, and the smile on his face suddenly became complicated, but before he could say anything, he felt a headache in his head and suddenly grinned: "Cory! Don't pull my hair!"
"snort."
Corey snorted and stopped moving.
Gregory looked at Angus again, and his face became serious: "I'll ask you, who are you?"
"Didn't you guessed it?"
Angus grinned, and the cracked scars made him look a little hideous.
"The expelled king?"
Gregory hesitated, but did not show a look of alert. After all, Angus is too different from the legendary expelled king.
"Yes, not." Angus seemed satisfied with Gregory's reaction, "Do you know the history of the expulsion king?"
"certainly."
Gregory nodded. Although he didn't understand very well when he heard the witch tell him history, and there were many things he had not remembered, but now after his soul was completed, he remembered all the things he had forgotten: "In 532, the seven new kings joined forces to attack the Red Rock Ring City, and were then expelled by the support of other Ring City, five of whom were killed and two escaped. These two were the initial expelled kings, and then..."
"...After that, the five ancient kings led the remaining new kings to chase into the gray fog and eventually returned in dismay. The ancient king Mojana and all the new kings died in battle, but only two expelled kings were killed. The remaining four were the only expelled kings."
"There is no problem in the first half, but the second half...tsk."
Angus grinned, as if he was very disdainful of the history Gregory said: "The truth of that year is much more complicated than this. I think, as a 'savior', you should have a more comprehensive understanding of the history of that year."
As he said that, Angus suddenly raised his hand and emitted a white light, covering Gregory, and instead bounced Cory, who was hiding in Gregory's hair, out.
Corey flipped a few times in the air before finally calming down. He stared at Angus angrily, but he didn't dare to say a word. Angus was too lazy to play the little ghost of Science Corey. He maintained the white light with one hand, while the other hand changed a ointment and applied it on his face. While applying it, he muttered quietly: "This new formula that has just been developed will definitely stick to it!"
The white light covering Gregory lasted for a long time. When the white light disappeared, Gregory, who reappeared, softened his feet and actually sat on the ground. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Angus blankly: "Is this the truth back then?"
"I don't need to lie to you."
Angus said, unbuttoning his shirt and revealing his chest. In the heart of his left chest, the flesh and blood had already rotted, and the pale ribs were leaked, and the burning heart that was protected by the ribs in his chest.
Looking at the flame on Angus' heart, Gregory immediately smiled bitterly, and then suddenly sighed: "Actually, I was just too naive in the past. I believe whatever others say, and they can't blame them."
"At least, she won't harm you, right? And, perhaps she is the only one who is really working wholeheartedly to save the world," Angus suddenly laughed, "In short, I, you, and her, can be regarded as the 'just' side."
"It seems nothing wrong."
Gregory also laughed. He could naturally understand Angus' meaning, but Corey next to him was confused. Looking at Gregory and Angus who were "You understand me, I understand you", he suddenly became angry and grabbed Gregory's hair and started to pull it around.
"Oh! Corey!"
Gregory screamed strangely and grabbed Corry in his hand. However, Corry suddenly turned into a virtual body, easily escaped from Gregory's palm, and flew to Gregory's head and pulled his ears.
Gregory kept shaking his head to prevent Corey from tugging his ears: "Stop making trouble, just tell you!"
Cory then stopped and flew into Greg.
Gregory sighed lightly and talked about his experience when he went to see the witch. Angus was also very interested in this part. Although he had been with the witch god for a long time and had even cooperated very well on certain things, in fact, he had not seen this generation of witches in a real sense.
Seeing that Angus was interested in these things, Gregory had to describe the communication with the witch in detail. After saying that, he briefly told Corey what he had seen and heard before.
In the white light emitted by Angus, Gregory fell into an environment built on Angus' memory. In the environment, he followed Angus back then and experienced the huge change more than 300 years ago.
The battle between the kings in the first half is almost the same as the story of the witch. The initial fire was extinguished, and many new kings escaped into the gray fog. It was not until the flames rekindled that they walked out of the gray fog again and gathered again in the rebuilt central ring city.
Unlike the Witch's story, not only did the new king who was standing on the side of the city that first came to the tower, but even the six betrayers who escaped also came to the Central City, demanding to divide a ball of flames and build their own city.
After all, the original purpose of these betrayers was only to break away from the seven major rings of cities, break away from the clamping of many ancient kings, and establish their own power.
The next development was the same as Gregory thought. The witch rejected them because they had accepted the transformation of gray fog, and this transformation was still irreversible. They had a natural repulsion with fire. Even if they were within the ring, it would be very uncomfortable, let alone take away some of the flames and build a new ring.
So Angus and the five others left, parted with each other, wandering alone in the fog, until seven years later, Eldridge, the most powerful of the six, found Angus again.
Eldridge, the most powerful and ambitious of the six they survived, re-summoned the Six Kings to steal the fires taken away by the new kings.
Under Eldridge's persuasion, the other two kings, Lorian and Yum, were moved and immediately expressed their intention to follow Eldridge to make big news. Angus and another new king refused him. As for the remaining Wendell, they were very hesitant. When they finally parted, they did not agree or reject Eldridge's invitation.
However, what Angus did not expect was that Eldridge was as fast as a reporter's. He almost just left, he seized the flames of a small ring of city and used this flame to win over the "neutral" Wendel. Then, using the teleportation coordinates mastered by Wendel, he seized the flames of five other rings of city overnight!
At this time, Angus and the other person had just arrived outside the gate of the Central Ring City. They were originally planning to warn the witch and other kings to be careful of the sneak attacks by Eldridge and others. Unexpectedly, before entering the gate, Eldridge used his teleportation ability to catch up with them. Unexpectedly, Eldridge used his teleportation ability to hit them out of defense. He was caught off guard and fired into their bodies by Eldridge!
So, the mutation began. Under the control of instinct, Angus and the others escaped the central ring city and safely passed the mutation period in the gray fog. But at the same time, the two of them became the number one enemy of the ring city and became Eldridge's shield!
But Angus and the other two were actually lucky. They were not transformed by gray fog. After the flames entered their bodies, the power of fire instantly gained the upper hand and suppressed the power of gray fog. The two of them could maintain their will while possessing the power of flames and gray fog at the same time, and thus escaped from the pursuit of the kings.
But the Eldridge and the other four were not so lucky.
Because Angus and others attracted the wrath of the kings, they had enough time to accept the transformation of the gray fog. Before fusing the flames, they had power comparable to the ancient kings, just like the first two expelled kings.
Similarly, they were also tragic because of this. Flame and gray fog are the largest and most fundamental opposing forces in the world. Just a separate fire is not enough to suppress the gray fog power in their bodies. They can only hide in the corner and passively resist the impact of gray fog power. In order to completely suppress the flame, the gray fog power attracted a large range of gray fog to inject into the bodies of the four people. While suppressing the flames, they also completely transformed the bodies of the four people into gray fog creatures.
This change finally attracted the attention of the kings. At the same time, the six new kings who lost the flames also lost news. The kings led by the ancient king Mogana finally calmed down. After a brief exchange with Angus, they decided to let the two go for the time being, and instead searched for the four Eldridges. However, what they finally found were four complete monsters...
"However, we tend to call them the 'King of the Fall,' after all, they've completely fallen into the fog."
When Gregory said this, Angus interrupted, obviously, he was also very disgusted with Eldridge and others.
The final battle was not, as the witch said, the kings led by the ancient king Mojana against the six expelled kings who devoured the flames. In fact, they only faced four expelled kings, but the advantage in numbers did not allow them to win.
When Modana and other kings found Eldridge and the other four, the gray fog power in the four men had completely suppressed the flames and transformed the flames, turning the flames from the will of the world into their source of power and possessing power that surpasses all kings!
In the face of overwhelming power, the number advantage made the kings look like a group of panicked weak people. When facing the four expelled kings, even five powerful ancient kings could only passively defend themselves, and even had no chance to escape. They could only watch Eldridge and the four men massacred the kings.
Fortunately, after Eldridge and the four expelled kings completely turned into gray fog creatures, their minds were almost gone. The only thing driving their bodies was instinct and the only remaining little one.
In the end, the ancient king Moinena made the same decision as the King of Golden Flame Nick - sacrificing himself in exchange for hope for the entire world.
However, Eldridge and the other four were too powerful. Even after Moinena's sacrifice, the other surviving kings escaped from the encirclement established by Wendell, but in the end they escaped back to the shelter of the Circle, there were only four ancient kings, and the other new kings died at the hands of Eldridge.
"Yes, yes," Angus sighed, "Eldridge is the only one who catches up. I went to help them at that time, but Eldridge is too strong. I was injured in the hands of the lunatic Godric, so I didn't help much, but left myself some souvenirs."
Angus pointed to the scars on his face, but his expression was too rich when he said these words, and the scars that were originally bonded together cracked again.
Angus seemed to have accepted his fate, ignored the cracked scars, lowered his head and muttered a few words, as if he was cursing Eldridge, and raised his head again: "Let me tell you what's left."
"Modana's approach is undoubtedly effective. Although only the four ancient kings of Godric escaped, they at least resisted the subsequent waves of dark tides. Those days were really crazy. The four guys were teleporting almost every day to help all the cities resist the dark tides. I also went to the Endless Land at that time, and waited for Godric's time. When the madman was at most, he teleported seven times in a day! I really don't know how he took it."
Angus smacked his lips, not knowing whether he was feeling or mocking, but after recalling for a while, he continued: "There is nothing to say afterwards. In the past 100 years, the ring system with the seven major rings as the core finally recovered some vitality. The four guys didn't have to teleport around all day long. Eldridge and the others also entered the depths of the gray fog. I had gone to find them, but it seemed that only Wendell had retained some sanity and built a city on the plain. The other three just found a ruin and couldn't move. Tsk, just like a beast."
"But there are not many good days, eighty-seven years ago... or eighty-nine years ago?" Angus paused, "Anyway, less than ninety years ago, the world finally couldn't hold on, and even asked me, but it was useless. I can't help with anything except to contribute my own fire, but it's you."
Angus pointed to Gregory: "You have some use, and may give the world some hope."
"Me?" Gregory smiled bitterly, "What can I do? Will I kill those four fallen kings?"
"Don't be discouraged," Angus patted Gregory on the shoulder, and the scars on his face became even bigger. "You are different, you are different from others, Godric and others, not to mention me. After all, I am a 'block' monster, maybe a bit similar to a witch, but also different. In short, you are the last hope of this world and the last struggle of this world."
"It's such an honor."
