Chapter 620 Why are you still shrinking?(1/2)

At this moment, Levi seemed to finally understand how Sylvie's 'precognition ability' that seemed like a 'great prophecy' might have come from.

Perhaps, like the Githyanki before, she was in some kind of trance caused by the void, and saw a possibility of the future in the chaotic torrent of time here?

But that’s not right either!

Sylvie hadn't come here yet...

No!

Levi suddenly remembered what Merchant said that when she and Sylvie met for the first time, the other party seemed to be seriously injured, and his body was eroded by psionic energy...

Could it be...that the other party has actually been here once before?!

This can explain it...

"The future? Is that the future for us Githyanki? No...how could this happen...No, there must be a mistake somewhere..."

Next to him, Zanader has been following Li Wei in a trance, muttering to himself ever since he was informed of the 'truth' by Li Wei.

But not to mention, his look of doubting the confusion of life actually made him look a little bit like those chaotic silver lizards...

Although Levi has no experience of being robbed by Githyanki, he has heard about the tragic experience of Carlos's illithids from Kick and the others:

They obviously didn't attract anyone, and they even stayed in the star realm and focused on climbing their lost technology tree of the illithid monsters, forgetting to sleep and eat, and even reached the state of "independence".

Of course, creatures in the astral realm have already reached the point where they will not starve to death even if they do not eat for a long time, and they cannot even feel the passage of time. Only when they return to the material plane will they encounter the 'liquidation' of time.

But even so, they were still wiped out by these Githyanki people in the name of blood feud...

Although he has no empathy for creatures like illithids, he also has no good impression of these notorious astral pirates.

In the end, he was so annoyed by the other party that he comforted him:

"Don't worry too much. You are not the first to encounter this kind of glimpse into the long river of time. I have already 'foreseen' the destruction of my territory."

Zanader suddenly raised his head, a glimmer of hope rose in his eyes, and asked hurriedly:

"Then what?"

"Then my territory will be gone." Levi spread his paws and said.

"???"

The Githyanki instantly shut themselves off...

The peaceful silver dragon led the quiet Githyanki people and walked deep into the mountains, following the footsteps of the silver lizards carrying their prey. For about an hour, the mottled and boring tunnel finally gave way to a more spacious space.

zone.

It looks like a square, at least as big as four football fields put together.

But when he saw a statue standing in the center of the square, Li Wei's eyes suddenly stopped.

There are nine mottled stone sculptures in total, with nine giant dragons of different shapes surrounding them in a circle. At first glance, there seems to be no difference in priority, but from the carving techniques, one can still see their 'status'.

A little difference.

In other words, from the perspective of the sculptor, we can see the degree of awe he has in his heart for these existences.

The tallest and most conspicuous one among them is naturally the one facing their 'exit'.

A majestic giant dragon was actually wearing armor like a human being. The ferocious fins on both sides of its cheeks were sharp and majestic, and its arms were as majestic and strong as mountains.

But I don’t know if it’s because it’s so old that the outline of its face has long been blurred.

On the contrary, the statue next to him had a slender body and seemed to be looking up at the other person. Every detail of the body was beautiful, and Li Wei recognized it at a glance.

That is Tamara, the Silver Dragon Mother Goddess who is in charge of life, light and mercy, and has titles such as Lady of Mercy and Glowing Silver Dragon.

Therefore, the identities of the remaining seven statues that can be compared with this dragon god are clearly revealed:

Asterina, the goddess of creation in charge of learning, creation and happiness

The 'mistress of the treasury' Estebella is in charge of harvest, status, and wealth.

Chronippus, the 'Silent Observer' who controls fate, death, and judgment.

The 'terrifying night dragon' Farazul is in charge of death, undead, and withering.

Carix, the 'Cleaner of the World', is in charge of fire, destruction, and rebirth.

Hull, the 'Keeper of Legends' who is responsible for humor, storytelling, and inspiration.

Landis, the ‘balancer of life’ who is in charge of balance and justice.

What just makes Li Wei a little confused is that these seven stone sculptures, which are still believed by many dragons, all have their heads missing...

Only the Silver Dragon Mother Goddess Tamara and the statue that Li Wei has never heard of but occupies the main position are relatively well preserved.

This caused Li Wei, who was a silver dragon, to fall into deep silence.

After entering the North from the Underdark, he gained a lot of knowledge about dragons from the Silver Wings.

Except for Bahamut and Tiamat, the two foreign dragon gods who came from behind, in Li Wei's impression, there have always been only eight ancestor dragon gods...

But now, in front of his eyes, a ninth person whom he had never heard of actually appeared?

Just as Levi was staring at these statues in a daze, he saw the Githyanki, who had been in a state of isolation before, walked up to the statues at some point, touched the patterns on the stone base, and said to himself:

"Is this the writing of a giant dragon? Why does it seem different from the ones I have learned?"

After hearing this, Levi came closer and immediately noticed that at the foot of the unknown statue, there were piles of corpses of the orcs who had been hunted previously.

'Is it like some kind of sacrifice? But this is obviously Tamara's divine domain, so why are they offering sacrifices to this one?'

Li Wei, who was completely puzzled, immediately opened up some of the bloody orc corpses and squinted his eyes slightly. He always felt that these words seemed to be cobbled together, but he had learned several editions of dragon literature from him.

Still able to find some traces and patterns, he said:

"This should be a relatively primitive dragon text, let me take a look...

"You fall in your perseverance against filth, and you will surely resurrect in holiness and sublimity.

"Our Father, the Eternal Lord, the Great Wheel of Eternity and the Devourer of Shadows.

"The creator of all dragons, the all-encompassing nine-faced dragon god...

“We will surely engrave your name in our hearts and spread it throughout the world.

"Our Eternal Sage, Dragon Mediator and Guide of the Lost

"——Io...

"Io? Nine-faced Dragon God Io?!"

Levi's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately wondered if he had mistranslated it due to grammatical problems.

"Io? Isn't that the honorable name of the God above gods?"

The Githyanki on the side also looked at him in confusion, suspecting that the evil silver dragon in front of him was teasing him for fun again.

Yes, this time Zanader suddenly realized that this silver dragon probably didn't tell him the truth before.

From his understanding, Silver Dragon values ​​family and relationships above all else. If their territory is destroyed, if they don't seek revenge, why would they risk it here?

In short, this silver dragon was not as upright and reliable as he had imagined, and in his opinion, it was not as 'upright' as his red dragon companion.

At this moment, Levi had no intention of caring about whether this guy had recovered from his psychological shadow.

As the Githyanki all know.

Some dead god above all gods...also called Io...

It’s easy to explain why mortals have the same name, but the names of gods...even if they have the same pronunciation, may lead to religious disputes...

Of course, as a boss, Io doesn't need so-called faith, but he doesn't want to sit back and watch a giant dragon use the same name as him to cheat, even if it's not the same species...

But regardless of whether they are the same person or not, it seems... they are all dead...

Otherwise, the former would never sit back and watch their 'Dragon Kingdom' decline to this extent.

The latter will also not sit back and watch the world he created being misbehaved by the three gods of death, and then violently change the rules.

Just as Levi was thinking about the possible complicated relationship between this, the Githyanki next to him interrupted his train of thought again:

"No...how could it not be?"

"Nothing?" Levi turned his head and asked angrily.

Zaynard immediately felt a will-o'-the-wisp coming out of his chest. As the leader of the Githyanki tribe, he was usually not respected everywhere, but now he was reduced to the same status as the kin under the claws of the silver dragon in front of him...

However, the opponent's fist is bigger than his body, and he has to rely on the opponent to get out of this hellish place. He only needs to suppress his anger and answer:

"There are no other skeletons."

"Skeletons?"

Levi was suddenly stunned.

Zanader took a deep breath and pointed at the small mountain of corpses next to the statue:

"Yes, you see, since those silver lizards have the habit of offering sacrifices to their ancestors, it is impossible that they suddenly became sexually active after we arrived, right?

"But apart from the corpses of the orcs that were just piled here, do you see any other bones?"
To be continued...
