Chapter 160 Visions of the Past

The high elves worship fire and fog as their beliefs.

The fire here refers to the Phoenix Holy Fire.

In the depths of the Phoenix Temple, burns the golden flame that never goes out. According to legend, it is the last flame spirit left after the failure of the elves’ ancestors heavenly ascension.

In the daytime, after years of baptism, the old man who feels his soul is hollow will devote himself to the holy fire, using his soul and memory as fuelwood for the holy fire to burn; and at night, the newborn will Before being sent to the Holy Fire to receive blessings, the experience and skills of the deceased will warm the souls of these newborns, allowing them to gain inheritance from the past.

As for the fog, it refers to the dense fog with magic power that lingers around Awa all year round.

It is said that the ancestor of the elf who once claimed to be the “child of fire and fog” failed to maintain his eternal and infinite existence in the present world after the failure of the Ascension to Light. In desperation, they had to reshape their material bodies with mud and wind, and after that, they created the infinite from the finite through reproduction.

And the original fog has become another soul power that guards the descendants of the elves.

In Ancient Times, first learned to manipulate the mist-weaving phantom wizard to unify the entire Awa continent and became the first-generation “Mist King”. After that, until the appearance of real magic, fog calling and fog control are the biggest reliance for the rulers of Ava to defend against foreign enemies and stabilize their rule.

“It’s foggy.”

Remedios muttered to herself as she leaned against the railing and looked into the distance.

At this moment, she is at the highest position in the entire Ava Continent – the Fire Burning Tower of Moon Law City. sailed from the top of the tower.

Although the authenticity of this legend is debatable, according to the research of archaeologists, this blackened tower is indeed the oldest known building in Awa.

If she usually stood here, Remedios could see the whole of Ava. But now, even with her high elf’s keen vision, she could only see the outlines of the coastline indistinctly through the thick fog.

If you have to describe it, the entire Awa continent is now like a crucible with boiling water constantly steaming.

“Until the results of the impeachment come out, it is not a wise choice to use the authority of the continent to evoke the fog blockade.”

A stern and serious voice spoke in Remedios’s voice. There was a sound behind her, and she turned her head to see the Takma cultivator, dressed in a plain linen robe, just walking up to the top of the tower.

The other party saluted slightly than the Imperial Fleet, and then he continued:

“The blockade of the fog is not the storm from the Moon Realm, they can’t really stop the pace. But the wind song The youngster of the family will definitely use this to make a fuss and pull people from several other city-states against you.”

“Their opposition will not affect the overall situation, I evoke the fog to blockade, except to delay the invasion of the imperial fleet. In addition, the more important thing is to prevent those higher existences from interfering.”

The cultivator was silent for a while, and then said:

“So, you actually believe that Did the storm over the Broken Sea stop because of the will of the Eighth Holy Spirit?”

Remedios didn’t say anything to his question, but turned her head and looked towards the distance again. Sea level shrouded in fog.

“You and I both know that the concept of the so-called Holy Spirit is originally the unrealistic delusions of those human beings. No Holy Spirit will be like the kings of the Moon Realm, who can truly rely on their own The will to influence the development of the world, they have no will, the so-called blessing or manifestation is just another manifestation of magic.”

Seeing that the other party did not answer his own question, the Tacoma religion The regiment’s cultivator continued.

In the magical model constructed by the Tacoma Order, blessings or manifestations are just another manifestation of magic. All the power of Holy Spirit can only be manifested in the world through the will of mortals.

“That’s where I used to be…”

Hearing his words, Remedios suddenly pointed to the distant mist opened the mouth and said:

“I was there back then. An arrow shot through the man’s head. I saw with my own eyes the fire of life extinguished from his eyes. I can still remember the tremor of the bowstring at that time.”

“That mortal named Terra Riel died at your hands.”

The cultivator of the Takma Order said without emotion.

“And yet he came back to life and, after several decades, was claimed to be on the throne of the Holy Spirit.”

Remedios paused here, then continued. Dao:

“In this world there is no magic that can bring people back to life—immortality or not, will always be the point of divergence in judging the difference between mortals and gods.”

“So Is this the reason why you evoked the fog to block Avazhou? You were worried about the result of the Eighth Holy Spirit’s direct intervention in the war, so you covered his sight with the fog in advance?”

Takma Order the cultivator asked.

Awa is the only realm that has not historically been affected by the Moon Realm invasion. In other places, Vic continent Needless to say, on Daemon Continent, Moon Realm sect is now as rampant as Vic continent at the end of the golden calendar. As for the Osis continent, not to mention the place that once had a great civilization, as early as 3,000 years ago, it was completely destroyed by the belief in the Moon Realm of the whole people and became the Ruins of Ossis today.

The reason why Avazhou has never been invaded by Moon Realm is that on the one hand, the life and death cycle of every High Elf is under the protection of Phoenix Sacred Fire, and those existences in Moon Realm are difficult to pry open. Their spiritual protection; on the other hand, it is permeating around Awa, and the mist with magic power has the function of shielding the power of those high-level existences.

The power of the Holy Spirit is difficult to take effect in this fog, and the power that the Void Kings of the Moon Realm can project on Ava is extremely limited.

Seeing Remedios nodded admitting the reason why she evoked the fog, the cultivator of the Tacoma Order reminded:

“You are using the authority of the state lord to evoke the fog privately. , it is very likely that you will lose the position of your Continent Lord tomorrow. Whether it is defeated by gods or mortals, the final result will be acknowledge allegiance.”

“ I will not lose this war without divine intervention.”

Remedios lightly saying.

“According to the information I have learned, even according to the most optimistic calculation method, the strength of the Imperial Expeditionary Force is more than three times that of Ava. This is not something that can be made up for simply by courage or strategy. The reality gap.”

In this regard, the cultivator pointed out the problem in a straight-forward manner.

He was absolutely right, the elves were extremely sparsely populated. Even if only calculating the high battle strength of both sides, the entire Ava Continent reached the Divine Domain level, and there were only three people including Remedios. And one of them is also the fire keeper of the Phoenix Sacred Fire, unable to leave the temple to fight.

As for the Imperial Expeditionary Force, four Divine Domain powerhouses on the surface have already been determined to participate in the war – not to mention the experts who may be hidden in the dark, and the most conservative estimates will participate in the war The Divine Domain powerhouse has at least five people.

But…

“If you can choose to support Ava, then all this will be reversed.”

Remedios said.

Hearing her words, the cultivator had what could be called a “laugh” for the first time on his face.

“Miss Moonshadow, you know the teachings of the Tacoma Order, and we will never be directly involved in any war. Of course, you can also choose to stand if you wish. Pledge to put on the linen robe and join us, then the cult can keep you safe.”

Remedios shook her head just as she was about to say something, but her expression suddenly changed, and she turned her head towards the mist. the distance.

“Dragon?”

…………

Dragon disappeared?

William immediately became vigilant when he felt that the Black Dragon, which could last for at least a minute, suddenly disappeared.

It is extremely rare in the entire world that an adult Black Dragon can disappear without a sound. And what William can think of now, all of them are existences that even he has to kill with some hands and feet.

So what’s in this fog?

“Did you encounter this kind of fog when you went to Awa before?”

Thinking of this, William hurriedly asked Captain Hobbs.

The other party was nodded, and then said:

“Awazhou means the foggy country in Elvish language, and fog of this level is a normal phenomenon near Awazhou… …”

Speaking, his face showed a very confused expression, and then continued:

“But I have never touched a place so far from Awa. I’ve been to this kind of dense fog, and it’s at least three or four days away…”

William interrupted him and continued to ask:

“Then here before that. In this fog, have you encountered anything strange?”

“Strange things…what do you mean?”

The captain asked rhetorically.

“Things like big, fuzzy silhouettes, weird noises, fishy smells…or something else.”

As he described it, involuntarily in William’s mind In an alternate myth, a famous giant green being with an octopus head and bat wings grew out of his back.

Thinking of this, William quickly stopped the car in his mind.

This style is wrong.

On the other hand, William’s question was to silence Hobbs, and after a few seconds he opened the mouth and said:

“Although I have not encountered …but the elves who do business with us did mention a foggy day precautions. He told us that if we came across a ship in the fog that was clearly not the style of the era, must ignore them. Whether people are calling for help, threatening, or even attacking, we can’t respond at all.”

“Why?”

William asked immediately.

Hobbes looked at William with a strange expression on his face:

“Because if we don’t respond, they’re just phantoms, but once we do , then they will become our own realities. So . As he spoke, he lowered his tone and raised his volume. This ensures that people around you can hear him without being suddenly stimulated by him.

William also pretended to be casual after seeing the expression on Captain Hobbes’ face gradually change from weird to fear, and realizing that he was not looking at him but at the side string behind him. He turned his head and looked towards his back.

Then he saw…

A huge warship emerged from the thick fog and sailed side by side beside the Whalebone. In comparison, the Whalebone, a medium-sized three-masted sailing vessel, was as small as a small boat.

Because the ship was so tall and so close to the Whalebone’s side chord, William had to lift his neck and look up to see the dragon sword emblem printed on the sail.

And the huge Black Dragon that fell on the deck.

That is the Black Dragon summoned by William through the Divine Domain Illusion Technique [Shadow of Reality].

As an existence embodied by the Illusion Technique, it should disappear instantly after death, as if it never existed.

But its body fell on the deck intact.

One has ash-gray hair and silver-gray eyes. A man with a bronze crown on his head and a ruby long sword in his hand stood beside the corpse of that Black Dragon.

The image of this man William is no stranger, he has seen the image of this man in countless sculptures, murals, books, and paintings.

Terra Riel.

The man who claimed to be his own reincarnation was also the founding emperor of today’s Riel Empire.

And this huge warship is probably the legendary flagship of the Imperial Navy 800 years ago. When it attacked the Awa continent in the last battle, it was hit by a huge storm and sank. .

William was a little fascinated by the ship. Hobbs, who was on the side, hurried over. He put one hand on William’s shoulder and said in an exaggerated tone:

“Don’t stare at the sky. You can’t see the sun in this foggy day. Let’s help drive the wind and speed up the boat.”

Then, he whispered into William’s ear:

“Don’t look at that ship, it’s just an illusion. Just ignore it as the elves of Ava Island said.”

And at this moment, far away William’s body of Blackwater Marsh has gone to the library of the deceased inside the treasure hall, allowing the archivers to find out the information about the fog of Awa.

After skipping a whole lot of descriptions about Fire and Mist Myths and Legends, William finally found what he was looking for.

The fog of Awa is actually a strange magical phenomenon. As long as you are in this fog, past illusions will continue to be staged in it. And once the witnesses interact with it, they will change from a mere phantom to a real phantom for the witness – which is very similar to the principle of the Illusion Technique spell.

According to the author’s guess, this may have something to do with the so-called ancestral spirits of elves. As the first creatures in the world, they were inextricably linked with the realm of light at the beginning of the creation of the world. ties, and therefore retains a strong plasticity rather than a solid reality.

In other words, because the Black Dragon that he had summoned out earlier was also an illusion, they were directly killed by them?

Thinking of this, William couldn’t help but take another look at the situation on the deck of the Crown.

And this one happened to collide with that Terra · Riel’s sight.

Then, the other party raised his sword and pointed at him condescendingly.
