Hearing this, Albert had already roughly heard the clues of what happened. He had a very bad premonition, and couldn't help frowning, and continued to ask: "One day...what happened?"
"
"Huh------" Sphinx took a long puff of cigar and blew out a large puff of white smoke with his face turned sideways. His expression was both silent and complicated, like the calm sea before the storm.
"Until one day, one of the two guardians went crazy."
"What the hell?!"
"That's right, he's crazy." Sphinx ignored Albert's cat-like cry and continued: "This guardian protects the station year after year, day after day."
device, but his eyes could not ignore the activities of the creatures in the lower world. He was tired of his responsibilities and wanted to abandon everything and live a free life. Yes, the idea of [freedom] came into his mind, and once he started, he
It’s out of control."
Albert was even more suspicious: "Wait a minute, you seemed to have said just now that these enhanced races have factors in their bodies that are absolutely obedient to the gods, and there is no way they can betray ------"
"So, this is the mystery of the matter: something impossible happened, and the guardian who was supposed to obey orders absolutely had the unreasonable desire to disobey orders."
The Sphinx took another puff of cigar and continued: "This crazy guardian was talking about this with another guardian. He wanted to retire and find someone to take over their work. However, his companion did not
They agreed because their work was irreplaceable. The companion became furious and the two of them fought, each wanting to use force to force the other to submit.
The battle was brutal. The two fought fiercely for centuries in the darkness and smoke, bringing drastic changes to the world. Among them, the crazy guardian was finally defeated by his companions, but was on the verge of death due to severe battle injuries.
As a result, his companions believed that the crazy guardian was no longer able to take on the task of guardianship, so his power was taken away and scattered among his direct clansmen, who shared half of the guardianship.
Mission. And this crazy guardian was sealed like a dangerous item and slept for thousands of years."
"In the end, he was free, not Meow." Albert changed to a more comfortable position and sat down, chatting.
"Perhaps. But freedom comes with a price--all the freedoms in the world come with a price?" The lion man smiled mysteriously: "But when this man who is already free has gone crazy,
When the guardian woke up again, the world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
First of all, the companion who defeated him back then is no longer there. The device that protects the world is only guarded by the guardian's direct clansmen. These clansmen have declined, and the power of guardianship is weaker than ever.
Secondly, there are many wonderful new races in the world. They are popping up and prospering like mushrooms after rain, but they exude a dark atmosphere."
For some reason, the image of a group of fox-men suddenly flashed in Albert's mind.
"For this crazy guardian who has just woken up, the world is developing in an unpredictable direction. It is all in chaos, and everything about it is out of order." The Sphinx suddenly squeezed out a
Wry smile: "Guess what this crazy guardian will do next?"
The tiger youth raised his eyebrows: "He will, uh, take over all this and put things out of order back on track?"
"No, if he is really so responsible, he is not the crazy guardian." Father Sphinx shook his head suddenly: "The result is that he does nothing and doesn't care about anything. He is
He lives a mortal life, marries a wife and has children. He only cares about his own happiness and does not care about this chaotic world.
Hundreds of more years passed like this, until the identity of this crazy guardian was revealed------you know, paper cannot contain fire. This guardian's wisdom, power and even knowledge are far beyond that.
The most important thing about his kindred is that he almost never ages. A great uproar arose from this. Some of his kindred worshiped him as a god, while others hoped to use the power of the guardian to change the status quo and invade the human race.
world.
The guardian knew that their race was created to manage and prevent humans from rebelling against the gods. This race had no right to invade humans in turn, so he initially disagreed. However, when he saw the luxurious and decadent life humans lived,
Comparing the difficult life of his tribesmen, this crazy guardian was moved. He agreed to assist his tribesmen, but he was limited to providing the most basic technical support to the tribesmen, and was responsible for a research to strengthen the tribesmen's physical fitness.
But as the research deepened, the crazy guardian gradually discovered that things were not that simple. He discovered that there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind this series of events, a conspiracy from the gods of the third faction."
Having said this, Albert couldn't help but frowned again: "The third faction? Isn't that the one------"
"That's right, it's the faction among the gods that wants to be resurrected in human bodies." Father Sphinx nodded slightly, pretending to have nothing to do with it and took another deep puff of his cigar: "That guardian
I don’t know how these gods escaped their own destruction, but they must have found a way. They are still eyeing the world and plotting all this. The reason why this crazy guardian became crazy and awakened back then
Free will is probably secretly arranged by the gods.
But the gods miscalculated one thing: this guardian with free will would no longer listen to the gods' orders. In order to protect the current human beings, he was even willing to turn against the gods. The guardian finally realized that in this
[Freedom] is the most precious thing in the world, so he cannot tolerate the ancient gods returning to the earth again and ravaging human freedom.
Unfortunately, this crazy guardian failed in the end. He was defeated again by the same opponent who defeated him thousands of years ago, that is, another guardian. It was obvious that the guardian was influenced by the gods.
He is controlled by them. He was created from the beginning to be the loyal dog of the gods. This has not changed after so many years.
The crazy guardian could not defeat his old rival. This time, he discovered the truth that he should not have discovered, so he would not be forgiven again. His head was cut off, thrown into the sea, and drifted with the water.
Already disappeared, but at the very end, he hid the truth from the gods and left the most precious gift for mankind and his people."
Albert swallowed his saliva and looked at the Sphinx intently: "What kind of gift is this?"
"[Freedom]." The lion man forced out a mysterious smile: "Yes, he allowed some of his descendants to gain [free will]. When he served as technical support, he carried out the project to strengthen the physique of the tribe.
During the research, he secretly removed the element of absolute obedience to God among his people. The more than 500 test-tube babies born from that plan, as well as their descendants, all have "free will" and can no longer obey
The missions of the gods. When the gods come again, they will definitely surprise the gods."
After such a long narration, the Sphinx took another deep drag on the cigar, and then exhaled a long puff of smoke.
"That's it, the story is over." The lion man put out the half-smoked cigar in the ashtray, "How is it, my little grandson? This story shouldn't make you feel too boring, right?"
"Uh, wait, is this the end?" Albert glared at the Sphinx in disbelief: "Aren't you going to tell me about that [Set]?!"
"Set?" The lion man tilted his head, pretending not to know: "That guy has nothing to say. He is the richest man in Africa, a businessman. Although he is a businessman on the surface, he is actually bigger than me, the underworld boss.
It's even worse. He can ignore his conscience in order to make money. The largest drug trading market in Africa is run by Seth."
The tiger man pouted in confusion, looking like his request was far from being satisfied. No wonder, the information the Sphinx told him was not at all what he expected. After listening to the lion man's nonsense,
Heap, no one will be happy if it changes.
"Huhuhu, are you dissatisfied?" Father Sphinx saw through Albert's mind and asked: "Then let me tell you another piece of information: you most likely have [free will]
's children."
"I...have free will?"
"Ordinary orcs can only use their innate specialties, such as the white bear's super self-healing ability, the werewolf's toughness, the bunny's ability to communicate with monsters, the leopard's speed, and the tiger's explosive power. Specialties like this
In principle, a race can only have one thing - at least that's how the gods originally designed it. Only those enhanced orcs who have been re-transformed and have special factors will have more than one specialty.
"
Father Sphinx said in a tentative tone: "So, your ability to make your breath disappear suddenly and completely, is it an innate extra talent, or is it something else? You or your ancestors,
Maybe they were those five hundred children who had free will and were blessed? God knows."
Albert thought for a long time, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "What about you, Daddy Sphinx? I heard that you can also use [Sandstorm Magic], this is obviously not a lion-man tribe."
Original ability. Are you also the so-called blessed by free will------"
"I'm just an old small businessman." The lion man showed a poker face and interrupted Albert's question: "Okay, the sand ship has almost arrived in Ghana. You retreat, for
Get ready for the game."
This old man is really impeccable. Unless he is willing, getting information from him will be more difficult than moving mountains and filling seas.
In desperation, Albert stood up from his chair, gave a simple salute to Father Sphinx, and exited the cabin.
