The five runes represent the honors of the five leaders respectively.
At the very least it should be an honor.
Because if you look at it purely from the literal meaning, the five dark camp members are really ominous.
Ominous often means powerful and violent.
On Calamity Island, this might be the most needed power.
Unfortunately, Tang Jiumin could only see the literal meaning, and he had no idea what was behind the runes.
Da da……
In the empty palace, footsteps kept ringing.
Walking around following the ten runes, Tang Jiumin inevitably fell into hesitation.
It's time to make a choice.
Although according to consciousness, one can obtain the power under each inscription, the order in which the runes are selected needs to be decided by oneself.
In front of the ten runes, Tang Jiumin did not make a decision immediately.
According to intuition, it seems that the five runes of the dark camp are more suitable for me. But the next trial is a matter of life and death. It would be child's play to rely solely on vague intuition.
In other words, he still wanted to do something sure unless he had to.
Tang Jiumin looked across the stone table.
"Great Priest, don't you tell me what abilities the leaders behind these runes represent?"
"Human, the reason why trials are trials, what do you think this means?"
Across the semi-circular table, the high priest's expression was indifferent, and his voice was even more indifferent.
"The thing behind you is indeed strong enough to ignore the trial rules and bring you here. It also requires me to abide by the rules and hand over to you the inheritance of our clan."
"But it can't ask me for anything more, and I'm not your mentor!"
In the alternating light and shadow, the great priest could be seen closing his eyes slightly.
"Those who have come here to accept the inheritance test in the past generations are all our tribesmen. How could they not recognize these runes, so I naturally have no obligation to answer you."
Tang Jiumin had a headache when he heard these words, and he raised his eyebrows rarely.
It was really difficult to deal with the high priest's consciousness not cooperating, but he still had a choice.
"Do I have to make a decision now?" Tang Jiumin asked again.
These words made the great priest stunned for a moment.
This person has arrived in front of the inheritance. Based on his observation, the human in front of him is almost thirsty for power. Coupled with his deliberate attitude, he will most likely make a decision immediately.
But it turned out to be a miscalculation.
Looking at Tang Jiumin who was waiting for a reply, the high priest's expression was a little unnatural, but he still replied as usual:
"You don't have to make a decision now, you can come back here at any time, but no matter how many times you come, my attitude remains unchanged."
"I will never tell you about the runes."
"That's enough." Tang Jiumin laughed, turned and walked away, "I don't need your help, I only believe in myself."
The high priest looked at the other party's leaving figure and suddenly raised his voice slightly.
"You want to find the meaning of these runes through the information they obtained from the last planet? Don't waste time, it's impossible."
Tang Jiumin suddenly stopped when he heard this.
He slowly turned back and looked at the high priest with a frown.
"Is it possible? You don't have to say this. But speaking of it, since I entered the consciousness space, I feel something is wrong."
"You never called yourself the Cyr Protoss, but your people on that planet all call their race the Cyr Protoss."
These words made the great priest change his expression instantly.
Tang Jiumin asked: "You call the Ser Clan them, and you call the people who framed you, they. It seems that you subconsciously want to separate yourself from them. But you call the people who entered the trial, and you said we..."
"It seems that in your mind, I am afraid that only those of the same clan in the past are your real clansmen, but they are definitely not the current Ser clan."
Eerily quiet.
The high priest's expression froze.
"Oh, right. You don't have to answer my question. But it doesn't matter, because I can understand a lot just by looking at your face."
"A great priest who is regarded as a believer by the Ser Protoss will inevitably have some shady secrets. It's normal, isn't it? Just like that captain."
Having said this, Tang Jiumin clicked his tongue twice.
"No matter which race you are, they are not that pure."
The implication was to retaliate against the high priest's accusation against him.
Didn’t the other party keep scolding him for being greedy and cunning, but didn’t the Ser Protoss who were related to him do the same?
The high priest slowly closed his eyes, looking a little tired.
After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Tang Jiumin.
"I know roughly what you want to do."
"The method of stimulating generals? That seems to be what it means. This seems to be a technique that you humans often use."
The high priest said two words without expression.
"Clumsy."
Tang Jiumin's eyes flashed, but he was not embarrassed.
Oh, he has been seen through, but with the wisdom of the other party, it is indeed not easy to be fooled, even if he adds salt to the other party's wounds.
"To achieve the goal, so what if it's clumsy. But it doesn't matter if you don't answer this question. Anyway, this question has nothing to do with inheritance."
"It's still words." The great priest shook his head and said, "But you guessed it right."
"The so-called Ser Protoss in your mouth now is not worthy of being called a clansman by me. They can only be regarded as descendants of my clan."
"The Ser Protoss? What an arrogant title... What qualifications do we have to call ourselves gods, and what qualifications do we have to point fingers at other races?"
The high priest closed his eyes slightly.
"They have long forgotten the teachings, the history of the race, and their origins."
interesting!
Tang Jiumin pretended to be all ears.
He didn't speak, but nodded from time to time while the high priest was telling his story.
This is actually a psychological suggestion behavior.
You don’t need to deliberately remind the other person, but do it subtly and let the other person continue talking.
As expected, the high priest continued.
"Although our race has the position of high priest, once upon a time, it was completely different from the current Cyre Protoss. We would not call ourselves the Cyre Protoss."
"We were not strong once. We struggled to survive and fled from one broken planet to another. If there is such a thing as a race, maybe Planet Wanderers would be our name."
"In that galaxy, we face enemies many times more terrifying than us. We have been at a disadvantage for hundreds of years. How could there be such a god..."
Recalling this, the great priest slowly raised his head.
"At that time, there were dozens of tribes in our tribe. They were divided into two factions. The one on your left that emits white light runes is the Far Traveling Faction, which is the predecessor of the Light Camp or the Light Temple. Their The power is relatively soft, focusing on creation and protection.”
"They are the most numerous among our species and have a large number of scholars, researchers, and pioneers."
Finally, Tang Jiumin heard the story about the runes and the Saier Protoss in the past, even though it was still not the meaning of the runes.
But through the great priest's mouth, Tang Jiumin still got a lot of information.
For example, the so-called origin of the light camp.
Of course, there are also those from the dark camp.
Under the great priest's eloquent introduction, Tang Jiumin learned that the predecessor of the dark camp was the Death Fighting Faction, which was the opposite of the Far Traveling Faction.
They prefer fighting to protecting and creating.
Fight to the end, never retreat, fight for every inch of ground, and use whatever means necessary.
Compared to the Light camp, they are smaller in number, with fewer pioneers and technicians, and more fearless warriors.
And most of these warriors are those who fight on the front line.
"That's not right. Then when I go, you... no, the Ser Protoss is a powerful race, and they don't look embarrassed at all."
"You guys, what happened?" Tang Jiumin asked as he listened.
On the other side of the great priest, there was silence for a long time.
It wasn't until Tang Jiumin thought that the other party wouldn't answer that he heard the voice coming from the other side.
"Sel..."
"Later we discovered a planet called Ser. On this planet, there was a magical spar. This spar contained an extremely strong energy. And this became the turning point of everything. , it completely changed our race."
"Its existence enables the tribesmen to obtain extremely powerful talents, improve energy utilization, and gain powerful strength... From this, our weak situation began to gradually change."
"The great priests and priests, after that, realized the powerful power from the Sel Crystal. The enemy was vulnerable to them. In just a few decades, we regained everything we had lost before. "
"Since then, there has been a voice within our race, a voice that calls itself the Cyr Protoss, because they feel that Cyr has given us everything."
After listening to the other party's narration, Tang Jiumin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
If you follow the story, there seems to be nothing wrong with the Ser Protoss. This can be regarded as a happy ending, and it is a history of the struggle and rise of a race.
However……
"Then why don't you identify with this race?"
The high priest's expression was calm, as if he was still the same as before.
But Tang Jiumin could tell that the high priest's expression was colder than before, and he seemed to vaguely reject the topic.
"It seems like something did happen after that."
The high priest rarely nodded, but did not speak.
Tang Jiumin understood instantly.
And soon, he also figured out some of the key points.
"We humans have a saying called crossing a river and burning a bridge, and another saying saying "the bird is gone and the bow is hidden".
"It seems that the Ser Protoss... no, you are the same. You who claim to be gods don't need bloodthirsty warriors, so you eliminated them from within. You have simply forgotten your roots."
It was a rare occasion that the high priest did not refute.
At this moment, he seemed much older.
"Maybe, that's it."
Seeing the great priest's reaction, Tang Jiumin did not continue to stimulate him, but turned around and prepared to leave the palace. But just as he was about to step out the door, a sigh suddenly came from behind him.
He turned around and saw that the high priest, who had been in a condescending manner when he entered, was now in a depressed state of mind.
"By the way, you said that I am the last Archon of Light and Darkness, so you should be the previous Archon of Light and Darkness?"
The high priest's hand on the armrest of the seat suddenly tightened.
"Yes but I don't deserve it."
