"None of the gods I know seem to have a clear "mind". Even the oracles are extremely vague. These gods never communicate with believers in person."
"And those believers, or some wizards, who try to spy on or communicate with these gods, cannot escape the result of going crazy. Are these gods in high positions, so that the souls of mortals cannot bear the influence they emit? ?”
"So I want to try to find a god who has consciousness and can communicate. Samuel is the best candidate... As a firewatcher, he sealed himself in the library, and outsiders only I know the name of the Firekeeper, but I don’t know the name ‘Samuel Hayden’.”
"The Firewatcher is the successor of the God of Knowledge. The God of Knowledge did not fall in the battle at the bottom of the abyss, but served as the great responsibility of the Firewatcher for the intelligent races, guarding the fire of civilization, even if it was in conflict with the abyss. Even if the battle is lost, the inheritance of civilization will never be cut off. This description sounds very good."
"Ingram, this is the name of the god of knowledge I described. Time will give me the answer. What is faith? Apart from gods, what does this power mean to existences that are not gods? ?”
"In other words, I don't even understand that faith is a mystery to the gods. Faith will affect the gods themselves and cause them to undergo some changes, which in turn seems to affect believers whose souls have a special connection with the gods."
After reading the notes on the table, Wang Yu's brows were raised unconsciously. Ingram, this is the name of the God of Knowledge, but the other party fell to the bottom of the abyss in Samuel Hayden's description. During the battle, this guy Roland fabricated the information that the God of Knowledge still existed, and passed it on to Samuel?
"This process will probably take a long time, but I still have a lot of things to do, so I'm not in a hurry. There should be a further stage in the realm of the legendary wizard. This profession is much older than I thought. It appeared earlier than knights, mages, and other power systems, and the relics that have appeared on the mainland in recent years illustrate this point."
"Then, the God of Night, I don't know his name. The existence of this god is worth paying attention to. "Forgetfulness" rather than death is the end point of all gods. The power of this God of Night can directly make "forgetfulness" "Complete, He is a sharp blade capable of killing other gods."
"I'm really looking forward to it... There are so many mysteries in the void. Every time I take a step forward, I realize how ignorant I was and how many unexplored things are waiting for me."
The note ended when Roland marveled at the vastness of the void, and nothing else was recorded after that. However, Wang Yu noticed that in the lower right corner of the last paragraph of the note, a name "Aslan..." was written in Roland's handwriting. , looking at this casual writing, it seems that it was written casually when something came to mind.
Wang Yu pouted. Roland really gave them a lot of information. It would be better to say that what he gained here this time was so much that it made him and Aviya a little confused. They had to spend some time sorting it out. Verify what you learn here.
"In other words, Mr. Samuel's transformation into the God of Knowledge was actually Roland's plan. He wanted to see a god with a mind that could communicate, and to understand what faith is..."
"The note ends here. We don't know whether Roland got the results he wanted. The meaning of this note to Roland and whether it is complete are unknown."
Aviya twisted her eyebrows with her fingers. Even a girl who knew more about the wizard profession than Wang Yu felt a headache after being bombarded with this information.
"Let's sort out the things here first. This note doesn't mention anything related to the "Utopia" that Celine mentioned. After all, our purpose here is actually to find out the connection between Roland and Celine."
He looked at the other text carriers in the study besides the notes on the table, the books in several bookcases and boxes. This note, which is not too thick, has already recorded so much information. What are the contents of these books? How much do they not know?
"Let me think about it again. Please Wang Yu, please record the contents of these books to the Midnight Library first."
The girl focused on thinking about the contents of the notes left by Roland, and left the task of organizing these materials to Wang Yu.
Efficiently, he scanned these books with a perfect fractal lens and threw all the copies into the Midnight Library. Wang Yu also took the time to read the contents and was a little disappointed. These books were not considered Roland's own notes. The spells of high-level wizards are very precious, but they are not that important in comparison.
The girl sat in front of the desk where Roland's notes were placed, tapping her fingers lightly on the table to make a soft clicking sound. This allowed her to stay focused, and her mind connected the contents of Roland's notes one by one using obscure connections as clues. .
"The gods of the night...Ms. Darkness, the God of Fear, and the gods that were studied by Severtan as fragments of the God of Fear. The results of Seventan's research on the power of the gods are really... Did it come from their own hands?”
Sighing, the girl suddenly realized that there seemed to be an invisible hand covering the continent. It was moving the continent for some purpose and had the desired influence on the continent. Because these influences were hidden in the In "reasonable" incidents, no one even notices these interferences.
Clenching her fists, the girl didn't feel much after knowing the existence of this hand. It existed, as long as she and Wang Yu didn't be manipulated by this hand. Contact and other things seemed to have already happened because of Serin. And once you become connected with this hand, you can only become stronger, strong enough not to be coerced by this external force.
"In the turbulent years, could the events that occurred on the continent be like this?"
After muttering to herself, Aviya turned around and helped Wang Yu sort out the rest of the books and materials.
…
The old capital of Severtan, now the territory of Arestle, is a city named "Winter City".
Compared to the previous situation where it was buried in heavy snow and there was no difference between being here and being exiled, the situation here has improved a lot. The garrison of the Northern Archduke has moved north, and now this city is the northern border of Arestle. Line.
The soldiers under the Grand Duke were patrolling the streets that had been cleared of snow. The buildings that once belonged to Seventan were all being used. There was no damage. The houses that had been inspected and found no problems were given directly to Aleister. The citizens of Le Le moved in, and some problems were restored to good condition after some minor repairs.
At this moment, this city already has some embryonic forms of prosperity. The residents who came here from Arestle to seek opportunities have gradually become accustomed to the bitter cold here and have found a suitable way of life. They are running around on the streets. Busy working towards your goals.
Outside the capital, close to the Endless Sea, is the Santa Ana Snow Peak. On the steep mountain wall of this snow peak, the big hole has existed for a long time, and it appeared longer than Wang Yu passed here on his way to the Endless Sea. The time point of the sea is much earlier.
The residents of Winter City have almost become accustomed to this big hole, as well as the vague icy ruins sealed in the glacier inside the big hole. Most people who come to this city have known it before setting foot in this city. I have already seen the magnificent ruins in the glacier.
Ruins are quite common on the mainland. After all, there are still many people who want to leave some traces in the world after death or destruction, such as the capital of sin under the ashes wasteland, the goblin's machine city, etc. They are all ancient ruins.
As for whether there are any good things in these ruins, it can only be said that in most cases there are, but those adventurers or mercenaries generally do not visit these ruins themselves, as the risk is too great.
The traps set by the owners of the ruins who were not happy about their belongings being stolen after death were extremely deadly. Some even turned themselves into lichs and lay in the coffins, waiting for the tomb robbers to come in and strangle their necks.
With such a big risk, the value of the harvest depends entirely on luck. Naturally, few beings are willing to take risks. After all, there is only one life in one's hand, so most people are very careful.
How to explore such large ancient ruins in general? The kingdom, the big adventurer group, etc. will take the lead and prepare a large number of manpower and materials, in a form similar to demolition, to dismantle and explore all the way. What kind of magic circle is coming? There is no point if there are enough people and the construction scale is large enough.
There is no such thing as cultural relic protection in this world. Once it is dismantled, the relics will basically be searched cleanly. During this process, the organizers will invite people to help with exploration and operations, and you can use the things you get. Take it with you, or you can go to the organizer to exchange it for equivalent items.
The frozen city ruins in the big cave outside Winter City are in a similar situation. Many people are already waiting for the Kingdom of Aleister or the Archduke of the North to explore the ruins, but here and Aleister Lechu was too far away, and all kinds of materials and manpower were in short supply, so exploration operations had not been launched for a long time.
Just because people haven't started exploring this frozen ruins doesn't mean it won't change.
"Boom, click..."
The heavy and loud sound of ice breaking and colliding suddenly sounded in this city where the wind and snow never stopped, attracting the attention of the city's guards and residents to the source of the loud noise, the Santa Ana snow. The peak, or more accurately, the gaping hole that froze a city.
The solid ice was squeezed and moved outward, and layers of rocks, along with the ice frozen together with them, continued to fall from the steep mountain wall and hit the ground.
Without warning, the glacier that covered the city that clearly did not belong to this era collapsed and receded...
