"That person's ability is mainly to transform different corpses into various extraordinary materials."
Joseph Bakker said slowly: "For example, the paint used by Amos must be ground from the skin of the [loved one]; his curse 'Diamond Rifling' needs to be made from the skin of the [enemy]
Heart blood; the 'bone and blood trigger' uses [the bones and blood of the same person]; the 'dirty blood bullet' is a consumable made from the liver of a transcendent..."
...it doesn't sound particularly powerful.
It feels like a large transformation wizard...
Annan muttered silently in his heart.
But he didn't say these words.
Not that I care about Joseph Buckle's opinion...
He cares more about Mr. Gu's opinion.
Although if you don't directly say the three words "Skeleton Lord", you won't be dragged into the nightmare.
But who knows if this is because Duke Skeleton has set up some automatic response barrier here, or if he can really hear it...
If he could hear him personally, then it would be better for Annan not to express any too strong opinions for the time being.
But Annan has some doubts.
"But I heard that that person seems to have existed since the Third Age..."
Annan asked with some confusion: "And from my understanding, several hundred years ago, the current countries were all under the rule of an empire..."
The former one was the knowledge he gained from the book written by "Grianznuha Rin Dong" who was suspected to be the ancestor of Annan.
The latter one he read from the popular science books Salvatore brought... In the book he read, the five existing countries were formed after a brutal civil war after the capital of an empire sank.
Split out.
——That civil war was called a "bloody battle."
Hearing this, Joseph Buckle frowned slightly.
"...Lord, have you read the books in Amos's study?"
"Um?"
Annan was a little dazed.
He suddenly remembered.
The books in Amos's study seem to have been left by Joseph Buckle...
Joseph sighed helplessly: "I didn't take away those books because they were of no use...
"Because Gryaznuha Winter, he is a believer of that one. Many of the books he wrote contain rituals of that one, and he will encourage people to use them."
"fraud?!"
Annan subconsciously raised his voice.
This is a member of the Lindong family——
What is he planning?
"He is actually not a member of the Winter family."
It's like he knows what Annan is thinking.
The tall wizard chuckled: "Or, he used to be. But he was expelled and deprived of his surname. But he still shamelessly used this name... The book he wrote, you actually
You can watch it. At least the writing is good and it's interesting to read.
"As for the empire you just mentioned..."
His expression became slightly more serious: "I think you are talking about the Yasselan Empire.
"The Yaslan Empire is indeed very old. But he is not the only ruler in this world... It was once called the Oser Empire, which came from the desert region in the east and was an empire ruled by centaurs and elves. Until two eras ago
, it has always been in the desert in the east.
"Later, the Disaster of the Era occurred. Some Osers fled westward and launched a war of aggression...and easily captured the entire territory of Yasselan and established the Yasselan Empire. At that time, we were not called humans, but humans.
'Yaselans'."
"Era Disaster?"
Annan tilted his head and asked softly.
"Well, this is the way we transcendents use to distinguish between eras."
Probably seeing that Annan was a new transcendent, Joseph simply started from the beginning: "The righteous gods cannot always deal with the backlog of curses. The accumulated curses will give birth to some 'accidents', some... that are enough to change all civilizations."
A catastrophic accident.
"For example, the desert came to life and turned into a huge intelligent creature; another example is that one-third of the Yasselan Empire suddenly sank, forming the current Yasselan Sea.
"But actually, there are some things that mortals don't know very well. That is the beginning of the Fifth Age, which is not marked by the 'sinking of the Yasselan Empire'... Although the old empire was great, it was not worthy of changing the entire process of civilization.
"The real sign is the destruction of the great barrier."
"...Wasn't the Great Barrier destroyed due to the sinking of the Yasselan Empire?"
"of course not."
Joseph laughed out loud: "The Fire of Order has always been controlled by the Church of the Righteous God. What does it have to do with the Yasselan Empire? With the capital sinking like this, all the elves and most of the centaurs living in the empire's capital were suddenly exterminated.
,In addition to changing the appearance of the true gods to Yasselans...has it also affected the church in any way?
"They are still the twelve true gods unique to this world, whether in the world west of the desert or in the world east of the desert. The gray fog cannot isolate the power of the gods..."
……yes.
indeed so……
Annan recalled.
According to the history book he read, the Great Barrier was broken "because of the collapse of the Church of the Twelve Gods."
But now that I think about it...
Why is the church suddenly falling apart?
"Because the end of the Fourth Era is the true symbol..."
Joseph explained: "It's just that the barrier is no longer sustainable.
"In the past, the enchantment could be maintained continuously by the True God extracting the power of the gray mist; but now it is necessary to burn the power of the True God to maintain its existence. Sir Silver and Grandma, for example, are relatively powerful and can maintain the enchantment alone... and
Like the Red Knight and the mysterious lady, they must work together to maintain the barrier.
"This is not announced because we are concerned about the impact and avoid causing panic. The reason why the history books do not mention that there are other eras is because our five countries today are actually based on the Yasselan Empire of the Fourth Age.
Up.
"The knowledge of the Third Age and before is completely unimportant and unnecessary for ordinary people to know. The population of elves and centaurs is very small, and they can only occupy a small piece of territory, and other parts must be enfeoffed.
...For example, the former Principality of Song Song has been ruled by them since the Third Age. But at that time, they were still a kingdom...
"In other words - or at least in our research, we believe that the destruction of the great barrier may be the result of the discussion between the true gods. Anyway, the Yasselan Empire has sunk and continues to cover the entire territory of Yasselan
...In other words, the area including the Sea of Yasselan is such a waste of power. It is better to divide the barrier and protect a piece of land by one person, and it can be maintained for a longer period of time."
Hearing this, Annan completely understood.
Why does the book written by Gryaznuha say that the Skeleton Lord had a very good relationship with the Bone Burial Granny in the previous era, but was demoted to an evil god in this era...
He has been an evil god from the beginning.
Because he was a believer of Bone Burial Granny in the previous chapter - of course he had a good relationship with Bone Burial Granny.
And it can be traced back to the Third Epoch at the earliest... and this is indeed the case. Because what constitutes the Bone Duke is the history and corpses of the entire Song Song Principality, and these have been born since the Third Epoch.
What Gryaznuha said is indeed the truth. Even if you use lie detectors to detect it, you can only get the statement "it's the truth".
But the contents inside are all just farts.
He was just deliberately trying to clear his name...
However, this barrier maintained by the power of the Burning God... actually gave Annan a somewhat unpleasant sense of déjà vu.
Why does it feel so similar to a certain suffering game?
