This is a ruins that have been sealed for a long time. Seven huge stone monuments stand in the center of the ruins. The central stone monument among the seven stone monuments has been completely destroyed, leaving only the base part...the other six.
The stone tablet is thirty meters high.
Dunhis knelt down alone in front of the second stone tablet...wiping away the accumulated dust on the ground with his hands. There were many extremely ancient words engraved on the ground, even older than the existence of this world itself.
He has been trying to parse these texts over the years, but at this stage he has only been able to decipher a short passage. The meaning of this short passage is, 'Obviously we created gods, why should we obey the will of those gods?'
This passage is not from the perspective of a god, but from the perspective of the most ordinary and ordinary mortal.
Dunhis believes that this passage reveals how the world works. The gods in the world do not exist...but it is the faith that people place in the gods that makes the gods come into being.
But now the gods who were born in the faith of mortals can enslave mortals wantonly.
Dunhis imagined that the person who wrote this paragraph must be quite angry.
Now Dunhis is in the same situation. As a patient of the crystal disease plague...it is not only the kings and armies of this world who want to kill him, but also the gods of this world.
But the gods failed to do this, because he got power from the crystal plague! The power to fight against the gods.
But this force is still too weak, and Dunhis must find a way to make himself stronger.
He put his hand on the second stone tablet and listened quietly to the sound of the island... Soon his arm began to become deformed, and ferocious crystal barbs tore through the flesh and blood of his arm and grew out, Deng
Heath's pupils also gradually turned into pale golden vertical pupils.
He let out a muffled groan of pain... This scream gradually transformed from a human cry into the roar of some kind of monster.
But in the next second, Dunsis suddenly let go of his arm against the stone tablet, and the distortion on his body quickly disappeared. Only the blood dripping on the ground told Dunsis that the distortion of his body just now was not an illusion.
"With my talent... I still can't maintain myself completely?"
Dunhis stood up from the stone monument and looked at his blood-covered arms.
The potential of magic thieves is not limited to the ability to imitate other people, the real power they should have should be to imitate the existence form of other people.
Dunxis's potential is far from enough, and the apprentices under his command do not have this potential. Only his former student Yelena...she has this potential.
As long as Yelena becomes a perfect crystallized seed, then at least the monsters living in the Spirit Vein Forest will bow to her.
"Teacher, it's time to eat!" Dunhis' apprentice walked into the ruins and called to him.
"Aisin, are the recent food reserves enough?"
Dunhis put on his clothes again and followed his apprentice out of the depths of the ruins.
This ancient ruins is divided into four floors. The defense magic circuits and inscriptions of the two outermost ruins have been abandoned, so Dunsis has been strengthening the defense of the outermost ruins over the years.
The third level is the area where ordinary people live. What he wants to build is a country where law-stealers can live freely. A country cannot survive without its citizens.
So Dunhis has been secretly rescuing the hunted crystal disease-infected people over the years and placing them on the third floor.
The third level is also the largest area of the entire ruins, with farmland and pasture. If you don’t take into account the ‘mouth-licking’ taste of the biological meat on Brand Island, this small country with only about 2,000 people can barely be considered self-sufficient.
The second floor is the core area of the ruins. At the same time, the ancient magic defense on the second floor is still in effect. Dunxis is confident that even if the four empires unite their armies to attack the second floor of the ruins, they will not be captured.
The only drawback is that the space on the second floor of the ruins is too small, and only five or six buildings for research can be built. The innermost core floor is an area that only Dunhis can enter.
"Not enough. We failed to catch the Holy Spirit who stole our food. Every time she stole something, she would leave these non-perishable food." The apprentice named Essien handed Dunhis a... Look
Start your appetite with grilled chicken.
"A creation of the God-Eating God..." Dunhis said after taking a look at the roast chicken.
"Several civilians have already developed symptoms of poisoning after eating the food left by the Holy Spirit. Mentor, this food doesn't look much different from other foods, except that it has no taste." Essin said.
"Not everyone can digest the creation of the God-Eating God. It is very difficult for humans to digest it. Feed this thing to the molten dragon we raise." Dunxis threw the roasted chicken to Ai again.
pungent.
"Understood, there is also the shortage of mentor food and... there are enemies hiding in the city, and there are rumors that crystal hunters have landed on the island, which has kept the people in a state of panic. Some people are now gathering on the second floor.
What do you decide to do with the entrance?" Essin asked again.
"Crystal Hunter...it's time to tell my compatriots...some truth."
Dunhis walked out of the core level of the ruins and walked directly towards the third civilian residential area.
When he arrived at the civilian residential area, a group of law-stealing civilians had already gathered outside. Their faces were full of fear and anxiety, and they seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw when they saw Dunhis.
"Teacher Dunhis..."
"tutor."
Some of the law-stealing civilians even knelt down when they saw Dunhis.
"I can see the fear and panic in your eyes..." Dunhis started, and when he spoke, the surrounding law-stealing civilians stopped complaining.
"But why should we be afraid?" Dunhis' voice slowly echoed throughout the civilian area. "Are we afraid of soldiers from the Kingdom of Sunlight chasing you? Or are we afraid of soldiers from the Kingdom of Flowing Water chasing us? Are we afraid of those old humans?
, they think you are the source of plague and the symbol of disaster, but in my opinion, they are just products eliminated by this world. We have stronger power and higher magic adaptability than them. What qualifications do they have to think that we
...is the existence that should be eliminated?"
This is what Dunsis has always wanted to say. Those who have survived the crystal disease infection have strength and magical adaptability that far exceed ordinary people!
Crystal disease is nothing more than a natural selection process. People without talent die on the road of evolution, while those with talent get stronger power and a better future.
But in fact this is not the case. The existence of the gods makes those infected with the crystal disease an alien species, because the mortality rate of the crystal disease is too high! The power of the gods comes from the faith of all living beings, and all living beings die... It is natural for the gods to do so.
will dissipate.
"We are the future of this world." Dunhis said to the confused civilians who were stealing magic, "The power you have now is a gift, not given to you by God! It is something you fought for with your own life.
"
When he was about to continue his inspiring speech, one of Dunhis' apprentices hurriedly rolled up to him from the fourth floor.
"The guides... the mentors... the Holy Spirits... discovered the entrance to the ruins... and... it was as you expected, but it was too fast!"
Dunhis heard this report and glanced at the roast chicken held by his apprentice Essin.
"It's too fast, but it will happen sooner or later. Be prepared to fight and try to keep those madmen out of our city as much as possible," Dunhis said.
