——Did the Ziggurat move to the Herasl Empire a thousand years ago?
Aleister was lost in thought.
Aiwass had studied the history of elves for a period of time when he was in the Theocracy.
The elves of the Theocracy mainly use two calendars, namely the current lunar calendar and the past amber calendar.
The former is the time when Eternal Self ascends to the Pillar God, and the latter is the time when Amber is born.
After all, both Eternal Self and Amber have completely changed the situation of the entire world.
Aleister had no idea about the era before the birth of Amber, but the birth of Eternal Ego directly led to the extinction of Warcraft. Many inheritances specifically designed to fight against Warcraft were cut off as a result, and races such as the Lizardmen that coexisted with Warcraft also died.
Rapid decline, the era of everything for the survival of the race ended, and the era of strife filled with many desires also came.
——The era of mankind is gradually coming.
Before that, Horus was founded by harpies and a small number of lizard people. The ancient kingdom of Parthia belonged to lizard people and a small number of harpies and snake people. The Taichu Empire in the far east was once the territory of dragons and snake people. Heras
The main races of your empire are harpies, dwarves and a small amount of goblins.
However, after Hengwo became a god, they gradually became human territories.
Humans do not have the concept of an amber calendar, they only use a lunar calendar.
Amber Calendar Year 6174 is the day when Heng Wo ascends to the Pillar God. This is also the first year of the Lunar Calendar.
It was almost two hundred years after the birth of mankind that the elves believed that the eternal self had completely changed this era, so they enabled the lunar calendar. After that, the two calendars ran in parallel, and it was not until the lunar calendar was running for a thousand years that the amber calendar was completely discontinued.
It is now the year 1899 of the lunar calendar. The ziggurat moved into the core territory of the Herasl Empire thousands of years ago. That is around the year 899 of the lunar calendar.
The Herasl Empire has been born for exactly five hundred years now.
"...It doesn't seem right."
Aleister frowned slightly: "In other words, the Winged Principal found Lingbo Tiansi's spine three hundred years after the birth of the empire? But another two hundred years passed after that.
I just moved into the Empire...what happened in the meantime?"
Suddenly, Albert realized something.
He asked with some confusion: "Are you saying... that the Ziggurat was also a mage school founded by the Birdman?"
"Well, those birdmen are natural spellcasters. Among all ancient races, those ancient people with wings are the most adept at various spells... It can be said that most of the modern spells are inherited by them.
.”
Adolf nodded: "Their talent for casting spells is much stronger than that of humans. Harpies do not need a staff or learn the principles of spells, they can cast spells instinctively. In the time it takes for humans to learn a spell, harpies can even
Have a rough grasp of a system..."
"Then...where are they now?"
Aurora asked softly: "They left the ziggurat?"
Adolf glanced meaningfully at the three young-looking people.
"No," he said in a cold and ruthless voice, "the ancestors have always been with us."
He said, raising his head.
Aleister subconsciously raised his head and looked at the ceiling.
The next moment, she opened her eyes wide.
——On the ceiling, above the hanging chandelier, there were a large number of skulls hanging!
Each skull was flashing with dim yellow flames, looking down at them silently.
"Necromancers have a very bad reputation. Although this can be regarded as a kind of prejudice... But this kind of prejudice is not rootless. Our ancestors did commit unforgivable evil deeds..."
The dark figure Adolf said slowly: "This is the original sin.
"In the past, humans, as a new race, were just 'teaching assistants' in the ziggurat. They were experimental subjects for the bird people to study the emerging technology of necromancy. Until the first 'unnamed' principal slowly became a student from a teaching assistant.
, turned from a student to a mentor, and gradually cultivated a faction of his own... and finally, with the assistance of Lingbo Tiansi, took over the entire Spirit Tower.
"All the birdmen were massacred... In order to prevent them from retaliating against humans after they were upgraded in batches, 'Nameless' imprisoned their souls in their skulls and preserved them here. Because this was an act of killing divisions and massacres, he did not leave any traces of them.
He wrote his name so that future generations would remember it, and his own skull was somewhere among it, as an atonement for his hypocrisy... and also as a torture for himself.
"It was indeed only then that humans fully mastered the magical inheritance of the Ziggurat; from another perspective, it was only then that humans no longer existed as experimental consumables for the bird people.
"Compared with the Ziggurat, all the branches of the Tower of Truth in the past have been cut off and can only be revived through archeology. Only the inheritance of our lineage is naturally complete. Because of this, we can become the Tower of Truth.
The only successor to the tower. That’s why I said that in a sense we come from four thousand years ago.
"But from another perspective, the Ziggurat belonging to humans began thousands of years ago.
"Precisely because we took away the inheritance that belonged to the Birdmen, the Birdmen still regard the Necromancers who came from the Ziggurat as their enemies. The Horus people still claim that one day they will take back their inheritance...
...Although they are actually not those birdmen at all.
"That is a hatred that has spread for thousands of years - every generation of principals believes that one day there will be an answer. The tradition of temporarily abandoning one's name once one becomes a 'principal' also started from that time."
Adolf glanced at the shocked Albert and Aurora, as well as the thoughtful Aleister, and sighed: "There are no written records of what happened back then, and it's impossible to tell clearly just by word of mouth.
.Now that things have happened, there is no need to worry too much...Since we are human beings, we can only live from a human standpoint."
"But there must be some people who can't accept this fact, right?"
Adolf was not surprised when Aleister mentioned this name.
After all, he is the only person in the world who has mastered the non-destructive resurrection technique - before the resurrection medicine was re-invented, people who wanted to resurrect others could only ask the insect master to take action.
"Well, Master Dürer may have left the Ziggurat for this reason...because he didn't want to bear the resentment that has been passed down for thousands of years."
Adolf obviously knew this principal's friend, and quickly replied: "Otherwise... maybe the person who becomes the 'principal' will not be a teacher, but maybe Master Chongpao. No, he's here."
"He is the strongest preservationist in the world after all..."
As Aleister spoke, he walked up to little Fernando who was solidified into a stone statue and frowned slightly.
It was different from what she expected.
She already knew that this was the guy who was burned to death by the Flame Butterfly during the promotion ceremony.
However, now this is no longer the injury caused by the fire...but the broken soul involving the curse.
This level of soul damage really has to be treated by Aiwass himself before it can be resolved. Because in the end it is estimated that Aiwass's liquid soul will have to be used to repair it...
Aleister subconsciously touched the liquid soul in his pocket and frowned slightly.
She can cure it, but...
Seeing Aleister's expression of embarrassment, Adolf sighed without any surprise: "If we can't find the former pope who is traveling outside, I'm afraid we have to ask Master Chongbo for help.
"If little Fernando's problem is really difficult to solve... I think it would be safer to find his old man to take action in the end."
"Where is Master Chongbo?"
Aleister breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly.
Sure enough, she still didn't want to use this bottle of liquid soul...but she didn't want to swallow it back after agreeing to it. Not to mention, this was indeed the person Aiwass killed in the past.
Although Aiwass himself didn't care... Aleister didn't want anyone to resent Aiwass for this reason.
"Master, he seems to be looking for a relic from the Amber Age."
After all, little Fernando is Adolf's most beloved student, and Adolf is also very interested in him: "As far as I know, Master, he is recently preparing to explore the ruins left by a birdman. That should be related to the remnants of the Tower of Truth. Now he is
As an investor, you are raising archaeologists anonymously...the money was borrowed from me. If you hadn't come, I originally planned to recommend Aurora to ask about it.
“If you know an archaeologist, you can introduce him to try the waters.
"If everything goes well, maybe we can run into him through this!"
