The furnishings inside the house are not too luxurious, but they are definitely not what an ordinary farmhouse should have.
There was only one person inside, an old lady with silver hair sitting upright and exuding a kind aura.
There are some people, especially old men and women, who, although they are strangers to each other, can make people feel familiar and fond of them at first sight.
The old lady in front of me is this kind of person.
Sean felt a strong sense of familiarity and intimacy in it, and a figure seemed to overlap with it - the grandmother who doted on him the most in his previous life.
This feeling has nothing to do with appearance, it comes entirely from breath.
The second impression that the other party gave Sean was that of old age.
This feeling of aging does not come from the body, but from the soul.
Judging by her appearance, this kind-hearted old lady must not be over seventy years old. Although there are deep wrinkles on her face, she does not have the age spots unique to the elderly.
The old aura that comes from the soul has gone through many vicissitudes of life, but it cannot be concealed, just like the wrinkled old pine trees on the top of the mountain.
The reason why there is such a feeling is not only the aura exuding from the other person's soul, but also partly due to Sean's preconceived senses arising from knowing the other person's true age.
"Sit down and talk." The ancestor said to Sean very familiarly, "Don't be formal, just treat yourself here as if you were at home."
"Thank you, ancestor." Xiao En was obedient, respectfully found a seat, and sat down under the other party's hand.
Before the formal meeting with his ancestors, Sean imagined countless possibilities.
The situation is tense!
Intrigue!
Weird and scary!
But I never thought about the warm and harmonious situation in front of me.
It seemed that what he was facing was not an old monster with a notorious reputation, but a blood relative whom he had not seen for many years.
In this gentle atmosphere, Sean's body and nerves, which were as tense as a bow, seemed to be relieved a lot.
Could it be that the other party did this intentionally?
This is also a kind of magic technique, used to dispel one's vigilance?
This thought startled Sean, and his vigilance, which had just been a little relieved, was raised again, and the magic energy around his body was running faster, feeling the fluctuations of the magic around him.
But nothing was found.
Although the ancestor's body exudes powerful and suffocating magic energy fluctuations, this situation is not intentional. It is very similar to what he did when he first came out of the mage tower, because he retains too many magic powers in his body.
The energy is far beyond one's control, so it is emitted outside involuntarily.
This kind of magic energy fluctuation is free and disorderly, and does not form an obvious magic circuit. Naturally, it will not form a spell that affects people's consciousness.
What's more, that familiar feeling didn't come after entering the small courtyard, but only after meeting the ancestor himself.
Could it be that I am overthinking it, is this really just a blood bond?
Regarding Sean's overreaction, the ancestor turned a blind eye and said kindly, "Why are you sitting so far away? Come, come, sit closer and let my great-grandmother take a closer look."
The kindness shown in the ancestor's expression or eyes did not seem to be disguised, but came completely from the heart.
"What the hell!" Sean couldn't help but curse in his heart. This atmosphere was so weird. He would rather the scene at the beginning was full of gunpowder and resolve the matter neatly, rather than the weird atmosphere in front of him.
The recognition scene.
Especially the blood relationship between the two parties is quite fantastic. Before this, the two people should have only heard of each other's existence, but had never seen each other.
Well, at least I haven't met the other person, but it's hard to say whether the other person has met me before.
Depending on the other party's skill level, in the past, even if the other party was standing in front of me, I wouldn't necessarily notice it.
Judging from the other party's expression, she is definitely not a stranger to him.
Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, Sean did not refuse the other party's request in the end. He still took the stool and leaned forward, although he did not show too much intimacy or rejection.
Once you get there, make peace with it.
If the other party wants to stage an emotional drama about grandchild and grandson recognizing each other, just act it out with her.
Anyway, the other party has already set up the stage and created a similar atmosphere. The feeling of overlapping the shadow of his grandmother in his previous life also makes it easier for him to enter the play.
He wanted to see what kind of tricks the other party wanted to play.
The ancestor raised his head, held Sean's face, nodded repeatedly and said: "It looks like, it really looks like, I am very similar to your father!"
The ancestor's eyes seemed to be a little wet.
Sean also took the opportunity to observe his ancestor carefully. He was not particularly tall, just over 1.6 meters tall, so even if he was sitting on a chair taller than himself, he would still be half a head shorter than himself.
Judging from her body shape and facial contours, she must have been a top-notch beauty when she was young.
What is somewhat surprising is that the style of clothes she wears is not the Guandis Empire style, but the more formal military uniform style.
No wonder that after entering the house, I felt an indescribable sense of disharmony, and my feelings came from this outfit.
You, a princess of the former dynasty, especially one who has never forgotten the restoration of the country, should be wearing your own traditional clothes. Why have you caught up with the fashion?
The ancestor babbled: "Earlier, I sent that little guy Crestina to help you. I didn't expect that little guy to be resentful and act privately, which almost ruined my plan. But this is good, it can
Let you figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing in advance, and save me, old man, from wasting too much time talking about these old things. I know you have a lot of questions and resentments in your heart. I am here today, ready to tell you everything.
Yes, if you have any questions, just ask."
"Uh..." Sean was a little dumbfounded. His ancestor's reaction was a bit beyond his expectation. Before coming, he had only thought about how to refuse the excessive demands that the other party might make, but he had not prepared any corresponding questions.
He did have a lot of questions about the seven apostles and the ancestors, but he was so fierce that he really didn't know where to start.
After a slight hesitation, Sean pointed to the core of the problem and said: "What exactly does the ancestor want to do? Do you really want your great-grandson to rebuild the Guandis Empire?"
"Rebuild the empire?" There was a look of nostalgia in the eyes of the ancestor, and he finally shook his head and said, "Two centuries ago, maybe I still had such ambitions, but now, haha, even the Andis people with the purest blood
There is no trace of belonging to the Guandis Empire on my body. Even I, a living old immortal, seldom dream about the empire in my midnight dreams. Time is the sharpest knife in the world.
, will kill and consume many things, not only life, but also feelings.
Time will also teach people a lot of things, such as looking at things from a longer-term perspective. There were too many factors for the collapse of the empire, but the main reason was still the empire's own governing philosophy. In this regard,
What you have done is much better than the empire.
According to your current development speed, the entire continent will surrender to your feet sooner or later. What is the difference between whether it will be called the Andis Empire or the Eternal Night Empire? After all, what flows in your body is the purest Andis.
Imperial royal blood."
The last sentence, the expression and tone of the ancestor, are obviously somewhat meaningful.
The other party's speech was very clear and reasonable, completely inconsistent with the image of the crazy rulers of the Seven Apostles that Sean imagined.
The ancestor's negative answer made Sean even more confused. He really couldn't figure out what the other party and the seven apostles led by him wanted.
The ancestor seemed to have seen through Sean's doubts, and without waiting for him to ask again, he took the initiative to say: "The ancestor has been trying to establish an independent regime in the Andes Mountains these years. He does have something to ask for, but this kind of request
It is closely related to the general environment. I don't know how far you have gone in your research on magic, and whether you understand the origin of warlocks and the nature of magic."
"The origin of warlocks and the nature of magic?" Sean thought with a thought, "I once heard someone say that the ability of warlocks to manipulate magic is not innate, but during the empire, someone in their own
The demon blood is fused into the blood, thus gaining the ability to control spells. Is this true? A bachelor from the Warlock Alliance proposed elemental tides, which specializes in studying the changes in the energy of spells in the environment. Old
Isn’t this what our ancestors said?”
"This matter seems to be two problems, but it is actually one problem." The ancestor nodded and said in a positive tone, "What you heard is not a legend, but what happened. Warlocks have different opinions on magic energy.
The control does come from a powerful humanoid creature from another world. Even the energy of magic does not come from our world, but from those worlds that are constantly approaching us.
Those worlds are completely formed by this element as the foundation, and the level of energy activity is far above our world. I have already read the elemental tides you mentioned, and they are generally correct, but not completely
To be precise, the approach of these worlds does not completely follow a periodic pattern, but is in a state of constant increase.
With each great tide, the two sides will advance one step closer, until the two sides are completely bonded together, the plane barrier completely collapses, and then the weaker world will be assimilated and swallowed by the stronger one."
"Assimilate and devour?" Sean's expression became extremely solemn.
"Yes, it is assimilation and engulfment. The world we live in can be regarded as a life, but this life exists in a form that we cannot understand. It lives in a larger world and also exists between different worlds.
War.
These worlds have different wills. Some are ignorant and just survive like this. The world we live in is this kind of world. Some worlds have existed for too long and are strong enough to have produced their own.
With their own will and active desire to hunt, the entire world they live in will be ruled and dominated by this will, and they will work hard for this goal.
Unfortunately, our neighbors are like this.
The periodic closeness of the two sides is not an accident, but the other side has been locking us, trying to send their army to our world when the two are close enough, and then find a way to completely bind the two worlds.
, so as to achieve the purpose of assimilation and devouring." The ancestor said calmly, as if she was talking about something completely irrelevant to herself.
Sean, who felt that his heart was big enough, was a little stunned when he heard this.
This sounds a bit fanciful and incredible, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make any sense.
Because the laws of planes are real.
It is not impossible that the entire world is running according to a certain established program or will.
Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Just like the bacteria in the human body, if they are really conscious, they will definitely not realize that they live in a much larger consciousness, and that there is a world outside that is so big that they cannot imagine it.
Compared with the complete world, human beings are as small as bacteria. Let alone the naked eye, even with the help of advanced instruments, we cannot glimpse the complete appearance of the entire world.
After taking time to digest the news, Sean couldn't help but said: "Assuming that everything the ancestors said is true, what does this have to do with establishing a unified regime in the Andes Mountains? Could it be that it is for
Prepare to fight against the invasion of alien creatures in the future?”
"Fighting the invasion of alien creatures is a matter for young people like you. I no longer have the heart to care about this. There is only one reason that has supported me to survive until now, and that is to use my body when the plane barrier is weakest.
Save the father, queen, queen and people from the endless nightmare." The ancestor finally revealed his true purpose.
Sean became even more confused when he heard it, and asked: "Father, Queen and Queen? Clan members? The ancestors are talking about other members of the imperial royal family? Didn't they disappear along with the imperial capital Brissan three hundred years ago?"
"
"Brisan was the last fortress of the empire. At that time, it not only concentrated all the elites of the empire, but also half of its wealth. The entire imperial capital was transformed into a huge group of mage towers. How could it fall so easily?" The ancestor revealed again.
He said with an expression recalling the past.
"However, the general trend at that time was indeed not on the side of the empire. The magic energy of the entire environment was declining. The magic power that the empire relied on could not fully exert its power. Therefore, the empire's think tank team at that time proposed to the father.
A great plan for renewal.”
"Revival plan?" Sean repeated.
"A bold and crazy adventure plan." The ancestor explained in detail, "They exhausted all the power of the empire and transformed the imperial capital Brissan into a huge mage tower formation, and then it rose from the ground..."
