It didn't have too fancy carvings. It looked dusty from a distance. Even if it was thrown on the side of the road, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention. But it wasn't until Lothar picked it up that he saw the words on the back of the ring.
A logo "engraved" by a special method.
The human emperor closed his eyes and stroked the mark with his fingers. After a moment of contact between the skin and the mark, the mark appeared completely in his imagination. It should be very similar to the eyes of a certain mage organization.
It looks like a symbol, but it has been broken. I don’t know whether it is because the ring has worn out over time, or because the symbol was originally designed like this.
This is also very likely to be a magic trap. Maybe the moment the emperor opens the ring, the explosive hidden in the ring will blow up him and the house together, especially since the ring was given by a notorious assassin.
in case of coming.
He shouldn't take risks.
Lothar knew this very well, but after thinking about it for several minutes, he still chose to open it.
He felt that if there really was a person who thought about the future of human civilization, then doubts at this time might cause human civilization to lose its best opportunity, a chance to survive in desperate situations.
"Click"
There was no password set on this magic ring. When Lothar touched the surface of the ring, several things appeared in front of him out of thin air.
It was a black, thick book, a gray sealed scroll, a stacked map, and a letter on top.
There were only four things, which made Lothar narrow his eyes suspiciously. Is the so-called future of mankind hidden in these four things?
Will such a future be a little frivolous?
But complaints were complaints, and the emperor still reached out from his drawer and took out a pair of leather gloves, put on his glasses, and then picked up the letter on top.
"Emperor Lothar:"
"When you read this letter, you must have also seen the future...the gloomy future hanging over your empire. Maybe you and all the nobles behind you are trying every means to save it. Maybe
You are the only one busy saving, but it doesn't matter, because whether you are willing or not, human civilization has reached a fork in the road, and no matter which way you go, you will all enter a new era."
This passage made Lothar's eyes flash with a gleam of light, but he did not show a special expression, but continued to read calmly.
"Tyrion has forced you into this situation, but please believe me, he is not just trying to destroy human civilization. Under the brilliance and oppression, all his actions hide a great and noble goal.
, this is also a very criticized point about him. At least in my opinion, Dark Blade's blind oppression may not make you understand what the King of Dark Blade expects from you, but he is unwilling to tell you that he
What exactly are you looking forward to..."
"He longs for the awakening of civilization's self! He longs for you to truly awaken in troubled times, longs to see human civilization that is truly united and transcendent under heavy pressure, and even the entire world! He hopes to see the Dark Blade Legion he commands be destroyed.
You unite together to defeat him, he hopes that you can prove your ability in war, prove your potential, and prove that you are qualified to rule the earth under your feet."
"According to my observation, Tyrion, and even most of the undead, have a serious tendency to self-destruct under their cold appearance, but the Dark Blade King is eager to have you perform the ritual of destruction.
In this contradictory mentality, you are being pushed to the last corner of the battlefield step by step, and you are only one step away from the final defeat."
"But it's a pity that your performance in the early stages of this war was so poor that even I, who had high hopes for you... felt disappointed. At that time, I felt that your existence might not really be that big.
meaning, but from the recent series of events, I see a glimmer of hope, which is why this letter appears in your hands."
Emperor Lothar shook his head. Even through the letter, he could feel the conflicting thoughts of the writer of the letter. He was describing Tyrion's psychological activities, but was he not describing his own psychological activities?
Woolen cloth?
Seeing this, Lothar has been able to confirm that the person who wrote this letter is definitely an undead, and he should be a high-ranking undead commander in the Dark Blade Legion. At least he can come into contact with Tyrion himself in daily life, and
He has a deep understanding of the Dark Blade King.
"Tyrion is not a pure death tyrant as you imagine. In fact, in my opinion, but from the perspective of the ruler's consciousness, wisdom and vision, he is better than any one in your system.
The nobles must be more competent. The existence of him and the civilization system he single-handedly supported has proved to the humans and aliens in southern Xinjiang that when the royal power disappears, the people can still maintain their own lives and even live a comfortable life.
better."
"So you should fear him. In addition to the oppression on the battlefield, I think you have enough reasons to fear him."
"Perhaps the war can only destroy the shell of the empire, but believe me, the flame of another civilization ignited by Tyrion himself is also capable of burning your old world. Although it is still very immature now, it will catch up
The speed is astonishing... Frankly speaking, throughout the history of civilization in Azeroth, I have never seen any civilization as dynamic as the Federal District."
"Emperor Lothar, if after reading this, you have not been provoked to arouse the arrogant anger in your heart, and you can still think clearly...then next, I will say something more important, related to the empire.
future."
Emperor Lothar rubbed his forehead, reached out and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and adjusted the brightness of the crystal lamp in front of him to the highest level. Obviously, he did not want to miss any word in this letter.
"I can assure you, Emperor of Humanity, that within the Dark Blade Legion, the Death Lords have never really regarded humans as opponents. From the recent arrangements of the Dark Blade, you can probably tell that the real opponents of the Necrons are
Demons, that is to say, you still have the last time to save yourself before the Dark Blade knights clear out the demons that have rushed into the eastern continent."
"Judging from the information obtained by Dark Blade's spies placed within the empire, you have formulated a complete plan for the westward crossing. This is good. It shows that you have not been overwhelmed by hatred, but regardless of the original intention of your plan
What time is it? My advice to you is to speed up immediately! Because the sea... is not as safe as you think."
"The ray that killed the big demon a few days ago, yes, I can tell you clearly, it was from Tyrion's hand. He could have directly used this terrifying weapon to destroy your empire, but he
He didn't do that. In his heart, the devil is the biggest enemy in this world. I think you should feel lucky for this."
To be honest, after reading this sentence, there was indeed a trace of sweat on Lothar's bare forehead. He had witnessed the power of that light with his own eyes. He did not think that the human empire could survive under that light.
This also allowed Lothar to once again recognize the gap between the Empire and the Dark Blade. He hurriedly turned to the second page of the letter and continued reading:
"My advice to you and your empire is: If you can reach Kalimdor safely, then in the short term, do not try to counterattack the eastern continent. The gap between the empire and the Dark Blade is too big. I will let you go in general.
It's unrealistic to catch up with this gap, so I give you three things..."
"The map in the southeastern part of the Dark Iron District Dungeon marks the location of a very important person for you. He does not serve the Dark Blade, and he can help you plan your own empire in a short time.
Engineering system, the emperor of mankind. Although I am an experienced magic user, I have to admit that in such a large-scale war, engineering is more useful than magic. Dark Blade has proven this with facts.
a little."
"The second thing is the "Silver Ash Sacred Book", which is a secret system hidden in the Drustvar Mountains of Kul Tiras. It records a profession called "Ashe Knight" that has strong restraint against evil objects.
Complete information about the system, it is not more powerful than the Paladin, but believe me, the cost of training an Ash Knight is much cheaper than the Paladin, and it is the military unit the empire needs most."
"Finally, there is an extremely important scroll. This is what I prepared for you. I can't tell you what it is used for. I can only tell you that when you are sure there is no hope, just open it. But, everything turns out
,conceited!"
"Emperor of mankind, I did not send this letter and these things because I support you. What I want to tell you is that I am a loyal supporter of Tyrion's "Ashes and Rebirth" theory, and the reason why I help you is
, because I saw the flaws in Tyrion's blueprint. I have tried to communicate with him, but unfortunately, he is not a person who is willing to accept other people's opinions... But it can't be blamed on him, all the undead
They are all stubborn guys."
"His plan is grand, good, and great...but unfortunately, it is not based on the reality of this world. Although Tyrion himself is one of the most powerful among the fantasy creatures in Azeroth,
, but he overly ignored the power of magic. He himself had a strange... distrust of the power of magic, which made me very distressed."
"Although Azeroth's magic system does focus too much on individuals and ignores groups, we are a civilization born in a magic world after all. If we abandon the use of magic, no one can predict what the future of this world will be.
And you... you are the last "safety insurance" I put on Tyrion's plan."
"If we, if the Dark Blade fails, then in this world, there will be at least another completely different civilization waiting for the challenge... The premise is that you have to become tougher and stronger, and you have to prove that magic and
Technology is not antagonistic; the two can coexist, influence each other, progress with each other, and eventually reach the level of mutual integration."
"But if the future human empire is still as weak as it is now, unable to truly realize the importance of unity and enlightenment, and the wisdom that pervades every individual, it will still be constrained by a backward ruling system, and it will still be unable to unleash the most powerful force.
If it's flames, then all my plans are just the dreams of a madman."
"Don't thank me, Lothar. I just did what I thought was right. Now, it's your turn to do the right thing."
"Wow"
When Lothar finished reading the last sentence, the two letters in his hand burned strangely. Only the cold flames danced on the emperor's fingertips, but no ashes appeared, as if they disappeared out of thin air.
The emperor's expression changed. He hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the key points of the letter in the notes he carried with him, especially the argument about "magic and technology". He wrote it almost word for word.
Come down.
And right next to him, there were the reports from Alsace and Master Steel Chain. The two things combined together made the emperor's thinking seem like a door had been opened.
If before, he was only thinking about how to protect the human empire under the ever-increasing offensive of the Dark Blade, then now, he has begun to think about the future direction of human civilization and the future counterattack model of the human empire.
Yes, the Empire will go far away, leaving Northern Xinjiang, a land that has been established since ancient times, and have to flee to another continent under the threat of war, but this is home, and they will come back no matter what, even if it is
After 100 years, 1000 years...
"You cannot extinguish the fire of human civilization... Tyrion, no matter what kind of person you are, whether you are a tyrant or a savior, you can never even think of burying our civilization... You can't do it!"
Emperor Lothar carefully put the important things on the desk into the storage ring on his finger. He looked out at the darkness outside the window. In the cold night wind, the emperor's tired thinking was relieved a lot. In his heart
The confusion has completely disappeared, and he can see the future. This is the first time he can see the future so clearly under the pressure and darkness.
"Maybe I won't be able to see that day, but...the creatures raised by this land will eventually come back here! They will come back upright, Tyrion, and even you can't stop them..."
"The Empire...lives forever!"
Embarrassing~ How should I put it? Only by writing his name on the engineer's paper can Alsace ensure that the letter will be delivered directly to Lothar and be taken seriously by the emperor... It's not that he took the opportunity to build up his reputation.
