Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 282
"Of course." The black dragon moved its huge butt, revealing the huge stone door behind it. On both sides of the stone door, there are two humanoid statues, both carved into the standard image of a summoner, wearing a robe with a hood , standing with his body bowed, holding the book of another world in his hand, which is a full 50 meters high.

Xing Tianyu heard an exclamation, he didn't look back, but guessed that it must be a new summoner like him, he was no less shocked than that person, the small island in the sea, the magical summon, the talking dragon, And the huge portal, all of which made him very excited.

The old man known as the sage stood in front of the huge stone gate and raised the staff in his hand. A dazzling blue light suddenly burst out from the stone gate, gradually expanding to the entire space between the stone gates, forming a huge The blue light curtain, through the blue light curtain, he could faintly see the scene on the other side of the portal, and the picture in front of him gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Come on, go through this Summoner's Gate, and we will arrive at the Sanctuary."

As the sage said, he walked in first, and other summoners followed.

Under the leadership of the old man, they passed through the door. Xing Tianyu felt as if he had walked into a wall filled with viscous liquid. He continued to walk forward and soon passed through the blue light Then a more bizarre scene appeared in front of everyone. They were on a small island, but this small island was not located on the ocean, but suspended in a void. Xing Tianyu looked around , I can’t see the starry sky and moonlight, but only the aurora-like halos of various colors, forming an incomparably huge storm, and their location is at the center of the storm, and the storm is made of energy , Those energies are rotating and impacting each other, and from time to time, a dazzling flash bursts out, as bright as a star bursting out, which makes people feel thrilled. It is not difficult to imagine the destructive power of the energy contained in the storm, but they are standing here On the small island, it was extremely calm, and even the sound of the explosion could not be heard. This strong sense of contrast made Xing Tianyu involuntarily feel awe.

He noticed that there was a shield-like barrier around the floating island, which seemed to protect the floating island from threats.

"For those newcomers, I want to remind you, try not to get close to the edge of this island, this is the subspace, once you fall, or get out of the range of the protective cover, you will be lost in the torrent of time and space forever or being torn into an atomic state by an energy storm, as for what will happen, to be honest, I don’t know, and I don’t want to try.”

The sage said as he walked.

"Okay, everyone, come with me, and I will introduce you to the situation of this small island." Under the leadership of the sage, a group of people walked towards the interior of the small island. With a diameter of more than ten kilometers, except for the portal located on the raised part of the edge, the other part is a very regular circle. Since they are located at a relatively high position, it is easy to see a magnificent huge palace. It stands in the middle of the island, and around the palace, there are some scattered buildings, as well as gardens, forests, lakes, and hills. These scenes are all presented to everyone in a very miniature form. This floating island , just like a miniature kingdom, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

Along the way, Xing Tianyu even saw some people living here.

"These people are descendants of summoners and their relatives. If you, or your descendants, are willing, you can also live here. It is absolutely safe here."

"Did you see that palace? That is the seat of the Summoner Council. The elders of the Summoners discuss important matters there. All the new Summoners who joined in a while must come with me. You will be there Know the meaning of your existence and a shocking secret."

"The place over there, like a bazaar, is the trading area, where you can trade items with each other, exchange information and intelligence, and the trading area will be open around the clock for the next seven days."

"Over there, that independent building is a library, where you can view all kinds of out-of-print materials and books, and even inquire about information about different worlds and alien creatures."

The sage introduced while walking, when they came to a square, the team stopped.

"Okay, the other summoners can be disbanded. As usual, the summoner assembly will last for seven days, the welcome banquet will be held tonight, the summoner fellowship will be held on the third night, and the summoner joint meeting will be held on the fifth God will hold it."

"As for you new summoners, please go with Maya, she will take you to the Summoner Council to report."

Many people left, and in the end there were only five people left. Xing Tianyu glanced around, besides him and Sylvia, there was a guy wearing a cloak and a black eyepatch, who looked like a Renaissance man Masked Rogue.

The other is a black man with a bald head, who is said to be a black man but is not clear. He looks obviously of mixed race, and his skin is closer to brown. He is wearing a black leather windbreaker, a pair of black sunglasses, and a handbag behind his back. Samurai sword.

The third person is a young girl, an Asian, dressed casually, with white stockings, a miniskirt, and a bow tie on her head. She looks like a two-dimensional cute girl. Xing Tianyu instinctively felt that this The girl may be Japanese.

The girl named Maya was standing beside the sage, she was wearing a blue retro-style robe, she looked like a beautiful maid in a Western fantasy novel, Maya smiled and nodded to several people , "Several please come with me."

The five followed Maya towards the parliament.

As he walked, Xing Tianyu observed the pedestrians around him. The residents of this mini world were dressed in all kinds of clothes, some of them were wearing renaissance period costumes, all kinds of colorful and intricately patterned costumes, and some were wearing Victorian period costumes. , the simple black and white clothes, he can also see some people wearing Hanfu. These Hanfu have obviously been integrated and improved, and are closer to the images he saw in some TV dramas, but they are much more concise. It may be out of consideration of convenience, and of course all kinds of modern clothing are indispensable. The whole mini world feels like a cosplay convention.

Several people followed the girl named Maya, and soon came to the parliament palace. The style of this magnificent palace is very peculiar, neither European style, nor Asian style, nor even modern style, but a kind of style that Xing Tianyu has never seen before. He had seen a strange art style before, and for some reason, he looked at this palace with an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

"This is an Atlantis-style building that has a history of thousands of years." Maya introduced.

Atlantis style?What the hell is that?Xing Tianyu thought.

A group of people entered the parliament building, and soon, the five of them were led into a hall. Behind a semicircular parliament table, sat seven people with different images in white robes.

Xing Tianyu can probably deduce that the white robe should be the costume of the elder summoner, the gray robe should be the senior summoner, and the ordinary summoner should be the black robe.

The white robe sitting in the middle stood up first. He was an old man, and he seemed to have an aura of calmness and prestige.

"Welcome to the Summoner Council, the new generation of Summoners, first of all, let me introduce myself, I am the chairman of the Summoner Council and the chief elder of the Council of Elders.

I guess you must have a lot of doubts and many questions that need to be answered. You don't understand the meaning of the existence of summoners. It is even possible that you will feel uneasy about what you have done. You are afraid that your actions will lead to the destruction of this world. Then I can tell you very clearly that not only will your actions not lead to the destruction of the world, but it may also be the key to saving the world. "

Hearing this, Xing Tianyu couldn't help feeling inexplicably wanting to laugh. Although he had heard similar sayings before, saying that summoners exist to save the world, he still couldn't figure out how his behavior was related to Saving the world has something to do with it.

It seems that there is more than one person who has the same idea as him, "Well, can you tell me why?" the Two-dimensional girl asked in a low voice.

"Of course, that's exactly what I'm going to say next. I'll tell you about a lost history, a hidden truth, and a legend that concerns the survival of mankind."

The speaker said in a solemn tone, Xing Tianyu immediately cheered up, the truth of everything, the origin of the summoner, can finally be revealed today.

"A few million years ago, a new race appeared on the earth and gradually flourished. A race called the Sakadum ruled the world. The Sakadum was very intelligent. They have powerful spiritual power and gradually developed spiritual magic. They used this spiritual magic to gradually master a magical spell called summoning. Using summoning, they can summon those different worlds Creatures, and use this to obtain resources, learn the technology and abilities of creatures from other worlds, and it is they who created the Book of Sakaduum, which is the book of other worlds in your hands."

"Although the people of Sakaduum are well-developed in mind and powerful in spirit, they don't have a strong body and are few in number. They have encountered a lot of troubles in the process of developing this world. When facing creatures from other worlds, they often Lacking protection, they urgently need a group of servants and vassals to serve them. For this reason, they decided to summon and enslave a race from another world. After patient selection, they finally found a suitable race. This race has a certain amount of wisdom. But compared with the Sakaduum people, they are not so smart and will not pose too much threat, at least they think so. This race is also hardworking, strong, and can serve them well. Moreover, this The race is very adaptable, and it is an omnivorous creature. Whether it is plants or meat, it can be used as their food. The most important thing is that this race has a strong reproductive ability. A small group can reproduce a large group. , providing an amazing labor force, and this race is us humans."

Xing Tianyu was shocked when he heard this, "Could it be that we humans are not native inhabitants of the earth? Then where did we come from?"

The speaker nodded, "That's right, we humans are not native inhabitants of the earth, we actually come from the world of Atlantis, which is our hometown."

Xing Tianyu couldn't help being stunned for a while. He had always been curious about why human beings existed in the world of Atlantis, but now that everything was clear, he felt an inexplicable excitement when he thought that his hometown was in another world. And an unbelievable sense of the absurd.

The congressman's narration continued, "Human beings were initially enslaved by the Sakaduum as a vassal creature. This kind of life has continued for thousands of years. As the population gradually grows, human beings gradually have their own Social classes, and even have their own independent settlements. The Sakaduum people are very proud and do not want humans to live with them. Only the few who pass the test will live beside them as servants and serve them. , other ordinary human beings are more like laborers, cultivating the land, capturing prey, and building houses for them, while human beings regard the Sakadum people as gods, and have a strong affection for the magical summoning skills of the Sakadum people Curious and yearning."

"Humans have never been a peaceful race, which has brought us countless dangers and countless opportunities. Some humans who serve the Sakaduum have secretly learned some furs of summoning. And brought them back to the human community, and these people are the first batch of summoners. Humans also have spiritual power. Gather the pitifully little spiritual power together to summon creatures from different worlds."

"Human summoners have continuously experimented and tried to summon all kinds of alien creatures. In the first few hundred years, human beings were extremely cautious to prevent their actions from being discovered by the Sakaduum people, but With the passage of time, the mastery and understanding of summoning became deeper and deeper, and human beings gradually became arrogant and arrogant, and no longer settled down."

"Humans believe that we can summon and enslave powerful alien creatures like the Sakaduum, and even use this to fight against the Sakaduum."

"So the summoning technique was quickly spread. Various summoner groups and organizations made various attempts, and the final result led to a huge disaster. A summoner organization accidentally opened a door that could not With the closed gate of another world, countless creatures from other worlds were summoned into this world. Demons, undead, elemental creatures, and terrifying creatures that could not even be described filled the whole world. This disaster was not only a disaster for humans , is also a disaster for the Sakaduum people, both suffered almost the same heavy blow, but compared with the Sakadom people, human beings have a huge advantage, that is, the number, when the Sakadom people's city gradually died out, while humans fled the settlements, hid in various corners of the world to linger, and finally survived to the end of the first alien invasion."

"Maybe you will feel very strange, where are those alien creatures? In fact, with the gradual disappearance of humans and Sakaduum, the battle between alien creatures has become the main conflict. They kill each other, The war, which lasted for centuries, gradually overwhelmed all other races by a group of powerful beings known as the Primordial Gods, beings from the deepest, darkest primordial world, where the universe had not yet emerged from chaos In the primordial world, energy and matter are condensed together in an extremely compressed manner, and the primordial ancient gods are terrifying creatures living in it, and they represent the most original power in the universe.

Even demons and evil gods from other worlds are afraid of them. In order to fight against these terrible existences, groups of other alien creatures are forced to unite, but they still cannot defeat these powerful individuals born in the chaos of the universe, so they have to find We humans, because only the banishment of the summoner can drive these terrible beings back to their world. "

"Humans will naturally not agree easily. If the ancient gods of the beginning are exiled, then these remaining alien creatures will definitely not let them go, so the Summoner Council and these alien gods, false gods, demigods or Various powerful individuals have reached a contract, and the alien gods will temporarily lend their power to humans to help humans use a spell similar to super banishment. This spell can banish all alien creatures back to their world, and humans will rule This world has been going on for 300 million years, and when the 300 million years are over, that is, when the contract expires, all exiled alien creatures will return to seize the dominion of this world."

"Thus, human beings have become the masters of this world. We have 300 million years to develop our own civilization, and use this time to prepare for the second round of invasion. We are very confident that after 300 million years, We will be extremely powerful, but aliens are not fools, their gods saw the potential of human beings, and cast a powerful curse on human beings before leaving, we lost our knowledge, past history, IQ Becoming like wild beasts, ignorant and barbaric, it took several million years, and with the gradual disappearance of the curse, we re-developed some primitive civilizations, but time is running out, and alien creatures are about to Returning, what is even more frightening is that those terrifying primordial ancient gods will also return to this world, and even the Sakaduum people have not completely disappeared. A small part of them, using the reverse summoning technique, turned themselves Teleported to another world, and vowed to return one day to take back what is theirs."

"So now you understand the crisis we're facing?"
