There are no magic or equipment such as storage rings and prop spaces in the Lost Land. Therefore, for the natives of Midland who do not have this concept, of course they will not have the same resentment as someone who transcends the masses.
It's not the most important thing that one ring hides all one's net worth. The most important thing is to plunder the loot after killing the enemy. You can swallow up the enemy's life savings in one breath. This is the great taste of killing enemies and monsters through many enemies. Look at how many protagonists rely on leapfrogging to defeat monsters and get a bunch of trophies that can pave their own training path into a broad road.
But, Midi... doesn't have this chance.
So when Mildiades heard that there was such a storage space, his first thought was: "Is that space still there?" He seemed to want to rush to the southwest peninsula immediately to see this peculiar space with his own eyes. Space.
But when it comes to this, someone feels a little guilty. He scratched his head and said, "That... seems to have been spoiled by me."
Mildiades couldn't hide his disappointed expression and asked, "What's going on? Can you tell me?"
"Six years ago, at the end of DCCXXIV (724), do you know about the astronomical spectacle of six stars in a row?"
Although astrology is not what magicians are good at, astronomical wonders of that level can induce various mysterious events. It's just that magicians are no better than astrologers, and most of them are just hindsight.
And if someone didn't mention that incident at the beginning, Mildiades almost forgot that something happened in the Six Towers of the Holy City that was unknown to outsiders. At the same time as the astronomical phenomenon occurred in Tower I built by the great sage Atoli, the three energy pools in the tower boiled at the same time.
At that time, all the tower owners of the six towers gathered in Tower I and suppressed it personally, and even prepared for the worst. Fortunately nothing happened in the end and everything returned to peace. At that time, the power of the three energy pools in Tower I was concentrated in large quantities, as if it was going to be poured into a certain place. But in the end, the power of the stock was not released, so it was held back, and it looked like it was about to explode.
So what happened to the magic tower on the southwest peninsula, which was also created by the great sage Atoli?
Seeing the Dharma Saint nodding in response, Lin continued: "On the star chart wall, the time when the six stars aligned in a line is slightly different from the actual time. At that time, the Tower of the Great Sage seemed to be about to explode. The center of the out-of-control power was on the star map wall. At that time, the storage space appeared, and it was obviously starting to collapse. I saw a stone box stored in that space, and at the last moment, without thinking, I After it was fished out, the space collapsed. And the situation originally looked very bad. The collapsed space began to erode the real world. But there seemed to be a way to deal with this possibility in the magic circle, and the collapsed space was sealed again. Live. So, that storage space probably doesn’t exist anymore.”
"Yeah, what a pity." The Dharma Saint shook his head regretfully, but then asked: "What was put in it?"
Yes, the great sage Atoli has opened up such a space, so it cannot be left idle.
Lin didn't hide anything and said directly: "What's inside is the skull of a golden skeleton."
"Golden Skeleton? Well, is it that strange object?"
"Yes, it has five parts: the torso, left and right hands, and left and right feet. Each bone seems to contain countless powers, but no one has ever found a way to use that set of strange objects."
"Could it be..." The Dharma Saint had of course studied that set of strange objects when he was young, but just like everyone else, he had no clue. Some people speculate that it may be because there is a missing component, so no matter how much research is done, it seems to be stuck at a bottleneck. The missing part is the 'skull'.
"At that time, I was wondering whether the golden skull might be the last part of the golden skull that never appeared. So I commissioned the Chamber of Commerce to collect the rest of the golden skull, and then... the devil was resurrected."
Regarding the rumors about the resurrection of Demon King Tikal, the most questionable point is how he could be resurrected without any reason. So most people chose not to believe it, including Mildiades who had the same idea.
But... after hearing this today, he felt that the rumors of the Demon King's resurrection had become real.
First of all, the power contained in any part of that strange object, the golden skeleton, is comparable to the purple-level magic stone. Even he who had touched one of the parts with his own hands found it staggering.
Secondly, the last skull was found in the Tower of the Great Sage, and was stored in a place that no one had ever found. And judging from the description of this young magician, it can be ruled out that it was the transformation of the Tower of the Great Sage by the later tower owner. Because the magic arrays that make up the Star Chart Wall and the magic arrays of the Six Towers of the Holy City can be said to be inherited from the same line, both were created by the great sage Atoli.
If this golden skeleton is related to the great sage Atoli, and it was painstakingly dismembered, except for the torso and limbs, the skull is also specially stored in a place where no one can find or get it. . It seems that it is not difficult to guess who the original owner of this skeleton is to be targeted by this method, which is even more cruel than sealing.
In the recorded life of Great Sage Atoli, the most powerful enemy was of course the demon king who ruled the Dark Ages, Tikal.
And then he...she was resurrected.
After thinking about the possible causes and consequences, Mildiades put his hand on his forehead and weakly said to the young magician: "You never thought at that time that this kind of thing might happen?"
"How could you possibly think of it?" Lin responded simply.
"You resurrected a demon king without even thinking about it?"
"It's not that we don't know who this person is. Besides, the golden skeleton is the most famous rare object in the magician world. No matter how many senior magicians have done some research, there is no way for it to produce any reaction. If you are an adult, , suddenly got the skull that everyone has been longing for, wouldn't you be curious about what the whole golden skeleton would look like when put together?"
"But... we shouldn't resurrect it." Mildiades groaned in a feeble voice, covering his face, trying hard to find evidence that the lich was not the devil. Just judging from the currently known conditions, no matter how you explain it, it ultimately leads to the same conclusion: that person is the Demon King Tikal who ruled the Dark Ages.
Someone said innocently: "Actually, it wasn't me who wanted to be resurrected. Instead, the whole skeleton was put together, and she came to life. By the time I thought about who she might be, it was already too late. How could I be so idle as to resurrect a demon king?" It’s so boring to live around me.”
Even though I know this is the closest answer to the truth. In other words, when all conditions are met, subsequent development will proceed passively and cannot be controlled or stopped by anyone. But Mildeades still felt a sense of powerlessness overwhelm him.
It stands to reason that, having reached the status of a treacherous and cunning person, the Dharma Saint in front of him should be expressionless in his emotions and anger. But the rumors of the Demon King that were becoming more and more real in his ears still made his old face fall.
What was even more confusing was another old man sitting next to him, the great magician Kabambai. He had confirmed that that one was very strong, and believed that that one was not an ordinary person, but a lich. Even the rumors that night made him believe this fact even more.
But to be honest, before today, he didn't connect that person with the word "Demon King". He just regarded the other person as a senior magician with a very profound accumulation of knowledge in a certain field. And judging from his current behavior, the other party has no evil deeds. Although the research project is about a disease that is difficult to prevent, treatment methods are also in full swing.
As for her personality or the rumors of that night, there are many magicians who are more ridiculous than her. That's not even 'evil' in the eyes of magicians.
However, the fact that she is the Demon King seems to have disappeared now. This fact also made Kabamba a little overwhelmed.
Of course Lin could understand the thoughts of these two people and felt that he should comfort them. But we can't use the idea of being imprisoned for thousands of years and having our sins atoned for. We have to convince them from a more practical level. You can talk about ideals with young people, but it is best to only talk about reality with old people.
"Two adults, I think there is no need to worry too much whether she is the Demon King from a thousand years ago. After all, this era is different from a thousand years ago. No one can do this without the acquiescence of the magician. , easily start a war to conquer the world. The Northern War more than two hundred years ago proved this."
The current peace among all the countries in Lost Land is not because everyone is tired of fighting, but because everyone finds that they can no longer fight, so they stop and no longer launch large-scale wars. Although minor frictions at the border are unavoidable, major countries still maintain a certain degree of restraint.
The root of all this is, of course, the magic tower, the most powerful war fortress that fills the Lost Land. What confirmed this fact was the Northern War more than two hundred years ago. The Suli Tang Empire, the most powerful empire in Midi at the time, launched a war with the goal of invading all of Midi.
That empire, according to a certain unprofessional historian who came from time-to-time, was just a nomadic nation. Such a country relies on two major weapons to launch a war, one is ruthlessness.
Dredging the grass valley is not just about going to other people's houses for free, robbing things, killing people, or setting fires. In the final analysis, they are forced out by hunger. So when a person is hungry and has a knife in his hand and food, whatever happens is natural. It's like a hungry tiger seeing a sheep, what else will happen?
The other is to feed war with war. The stolen money can be used to buy food and make weapons, the stolen food can feed the stomach, and the stolen women and children can increase the population, that is, the source of soldiers. Convert all war dividends into war resources to support the next war.
The so-called killing of boys who are taller than a wheel is because young children have not yet formed their values. They also couldn't understand whether the person who was going to raise them was an enemy or a benefactor. When these children grow up, they can at least become slave soldiers and be active on the battlefield.
Even if these children grow up and discover the fact that they recognize a thief as their father, they will still be affected by the values advocating force in the environment in which they grew up. The failure of the father's family will only become a shame for these people, which will stimulate their more ruthless character in order to wash away that shame.
It is these two advantages that make the nomads a presence that makes the civilized world tremble, whether they are on the earth before traveling or in this mysterious land on the magical side. Until, I hit the magic tower in a lost place.
