Five hundred years ago, they hated Zhuoe so much that they sacrificed countless people in exchange for a purified new world. But five hundred years later, people began to pursue Zhuoe in this pure world, longing for it. Zhuo E wants to recreate that brown sky again.
What an irony.
A trace of sadness flashed across Karl's eyes.
Only then did he realize that just as they used Zhuo'e to defeat Zhuo'e five hundred years ago, Zhuo'e five hundred years later would
They are also being used to defeat them.
"Lord Ashes, in the first hundred years after you disappeared, everyone was still trying their best to fulfill the agreed responsibilities, but gradually"
"The vast majority of us are still limited by our life span. One hundred years is already their limit. They have not been able to wait for the news of your return throughout their lives. They can only turn their regrets into a will and give it to them. descendants, and be led by people like me who can persevere.”
There was a look of memory in Karl's eyes, and he continued, but this time his voice became much deeper.
"But even though I had returned to the "disaster level" at that time, as long as I couldn't cross that line, I would never be able to escape the years. I persisted until the 214th year, and still closed my eyes. Eyes, and if I remember correctly at that time, members of the generation like me who had followed you personally, from the initial few hundred seats, to the end there were only twenty-three seats left. "
"Actually, I had already noticed that something was not right at the beginning, because among the remaining people, some people had already begun to wait for the sake of waiting, losing themselves in the long years, using increasingly paranoid and extreme methods to try to survive. Let them continue to wait and hold on forever."
"If I think about it now, I'm afraid that Zhuo E would have already started to take advantage of us at that time, right?"
The saddest thing is actually not witnessing the destruction of a dynasty.
Instead, he foresaw the outcome of a wrong path, but could only exit sadly before his death.
Five hundred years later, Karl returned to the identity of the Forgotten Spirit and could briefly see the world. Obviously, the worst situation he expected had happened.
Their organization has indeed taken another path.
"I'm sorry, Master Ashes. I couldn't stop them at that time, because even I was exhausted trying to resist this temptation."
"You have done a good job. As for the rest, leave it to me."
Liao Ji shook his head.
For him, saving the world is just a game, and he has never thought about what would happen to the game characters after they left him.
When he "habitually" maxes out the favorability of almost every character under him in order to achieve achievements, get rewards, or simply out of obsessive-compulsive disorder, he may not feel it off-screen, but These virtual villains on the screen, these game characters, really have 100% feelings for themselves.
When the "red heart" in the game was full, they really gave their hearts to Lord Ashes. For them, they were already the most important person.
Because of this, even if they are used by him and treated as tools by him, most of them still have no regrets after being abandoned. They even continue to shine and accumulate strength secretly, waiting to be used by him again. That day.
Because of this, they will use all means to "wait" for themselves, and they will be taken advantage of by bad luck.
From Karl's mouth, he finally learned the origin and truth of the "Old Alliance". Liao Ji felt that the burden on his shoulders seemed to be a little heavier. No wonder Karl reminded himself to be careful.
After all, more than two hundred years ago, when Karl died, there were only twenty-three original members of the entire organization who had followed him. Now, three hundred years later, the organization must have been replaced. Many times, it has been changed beyond recognition. Although it is called the Alliance of the Old Ones, there is no real "Old One" anymore and can only reappear in the form of "forgotten spirits".
For these descendants of the "first generation", they do not have the bond and memory with themselves, the "Ember Emperor". Perhaps in their eyes, they are the culprit, the one who toyed with and abandoned their ancestors. people.
That's why it finally evolved into, as Loba said, the current Old Alliance is indeed still dormant and waiting, but what they are waiting for is no longer a "reunion".
But revenge.
"Lord Ashes, I don't know if there is something wrong with my current state of perception, or something else, but the feeling you give me is just like, like"
Seeing Karl's worried look that hesitated to speak, Liao Ji shrugged helplessly and admitted it generously.
"No, you're not wrong. I am no different from ordinary people now. Well, maybe a little stronger." After the battle with Sxiutiya, Liao Ji's level reached level 23.
For a doomed person, level 23 is considered to be on the upper side of the "normal level", but for Liao Ji, due to the protagonist's low three-dimensional growth, he has just entered the door of the "normal level".
How could Karl not be surprised by this.
He thought for a long time, what else could threaten the Emperor who had even conquered Zhuo'e? In the end, the only reason Karl could think of was
"Is it because you took off your cloak?"
"You guessed it right, that cloak is actually my true body."
Faced with Liao Ji's complaints, Karl held his chin thoughtfully and agreed seriously:
"No wonder, Lord Ashes feels like a different person. In my impression, you should only be silent, nodding, and shaking your head. You can still talk to me so much like you are now. , it’s simply too rare!”
Liao Ji: "."
"Yes, that's right! This is the Lord Ashes I know!"
Karl looked at Liao Ji, who had made three ellipsis expressions, and his eyes widened, feeling as if he had returned to youth and felt familiar.
Happy time is always short.
No matter how much Karl hoped to chat with the Lord Ashes who had "taken off his cloak" for a while longer, it was a pity that the current situation no longer allowed it.
Although he cut off contact with Loba, and Loba temporarily fainted, under the secret method of "the old days", the blood sacrifice that covered the entire sealed city like a blood-red cover could no longer be stopped. .
As the summoned person, Karl was not qualified to terminate the ritual. He could only be forced to absorb the misfortune of the entire city. His body became more and more solid, but his mind became more and more fading. This was forgetfulness. The fate of the spirit, after all, they are all dead. After the blood sacrifice is completely completed, he will also become a body.
And when the ritual reaches this point, even killing Loba, who is the summoner, will not work. Instead, Karl, who has lost his summoner, will be occupied by the evil and become a man-made "disaster level" evil monster. .
But if we continue to let it go, the concentration of evil in the sealed capital has reached a very high threshold and is still rising. Then the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city will really become Karl's "food." "Yes.
The only solution is to let Lord Ashes kill him, so that the blood sacrifice that has lost its carrier can be terminated.
So
While he was still awake, Karl cast his expectant and excited gaze at the young man opposite.
He wanted to see how Lord Ashes could break the situation. When he finally died, if he could appreciate Lord Ashes' wonderful command again, Karl felt that this was the best reward for him.
"So Lord Ashes, your next step is"
Liao Ji's answer to this is also very simple.
In the original game, Carl was considered a mid- to late-stage character, at the mid-to-upper level of "disaster level". For me who only had two "danger level cards" in my hand now, Carl stood still and allowed himself to attack. , I’m afraid he doesn’t even have the ability to kill.
That being the case
An icon in the skill bar lit up again, and then the blood all over Liao Ji's body seemed to be ignited. A layer of crimson dragon scale shadow covered his body, arming him up and down like armor. Liao Ji's The eyes also turned into purple dragon eyes, and just the sight of them gave them a sense of oppression.
【Dragon Blood Burning】
This is probably the second time Liao Ji has used it.
When he was in the Holy Kingdom and in the territory of Sshutia, a few hours after he used this trick, the Holy Kingdom received a declaration of war from the Dragon Kingdom.
But now, he is standing on the land of Dragon Kingdom, in the territory of Jiuyou, and after using the skills from this Dragon Lady,
Almost in the next breath.
Even in this sealed capital, thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, a loud roar of a dragon still seemed to reach straight into the sky, pointing directly at it, resounding in everyone's hearts.
That was not a real sound, but a powerful pressure that could still radiate from a distant place.
As long as he is in the sealed capital, even Karl, as the "forgotten spirit", cannot escape.
turn out to be
Is this the method used?
He was very familiar with this dragon's roar that could span thousands of miles. Looking at the matter-of-fact look on Lord Ashes' face opposite him, Karl couldn't help but laugh.
"I should say, is it really you? Lord Ashes."
