Chapter 227: The Fallen Ascendant(2/3)
On the contrary, Keynes, who was forced by the aggressive momentum, was extremely calm, rubbing the gold coins and saying:
"Grand Duke Hanthorn, please don't be nervous. Archmage Augustus is here. He will never sit back and watch something bad happen."
The eyes under the mask were condensed, but Han Ci, who had always shown fear of Augustus, flinched this time and only faced those blue eyes.
"...Master Archmage, can you make a guarantee for them?"
Hearing this, Augustus raised his head and said nothing, but looked back at Han Ci with calm eyes.
!!!
At this time, Egger, who had shown resistance to Hanthorn before, stood up uncharacteristically and came to his side.
Faced Augustus with him, shared some of the pressure with him, and said calmly:
"Lord Augustus, this matter is not a trial against anyone. Do you understand the importance of this matter?"
Even if they are at odds, even if there are various conflicts of interest behind the scenes, the fact that they both belong to the court will not change.
More importantly, the Inquisition is affiliated with the Watch Club, and with these backings, they don't have to fear anyone.
Even if you are a legend, we will not shy away from such a big matter.
When the atmosphere gradually became stagnant, Keynes' tired voice broke everything:
"You two, you don't have to force Lord Augustus to express his position like this. It's because I didn't make it clear."
After coughing slightly, Keynes stood up with difficulty and squeezed in between the three of them.
"Everything that happened in this Star Chaser competition has actually been known to the Watch Club for a long time. I can assure you of this."
"Everything is going according to plan, you don't need to worry."
Rarely, Keynes did not follow the aristocratic etiquette, but simply bowed slightly to Han Ci and Aige.
Without explaining, he turned around and slowly spoke to the legends who had begun to use various means to convey the news:
"I will explain it to you now."
"You all know very well that in the dark ages, our ancestors spent their blood to find various paths, and finally discovered the path of the awakened ones."
It was a tragic history, and some of the legendary ancestors present were outstanding talents.
Keynes's voice was filled with respect and he said with emotion:
"And since some people are trying to find answers from extraordinary creatures, why can't there be such a crazy group of people who choose a more direct path?"
more directly?
"They are trying to find the path of the gods."
"They want to become gods, try to steal the power of gods, and become gods from humans."
"Supernatural creatures call these people blasphemers, and although they do not deny it, they prefer another name-"
"[He who ascends to the gods]."
Aspirants are a group of people who intend to ascend to the throne of gods.
Like other pioneers, they are also a group of brave people crossing the river by feeling the stones, and many people failed in the process.
And those paths for losers are different from other paths and are full of all kinds of terrible dangers.
The realm of the gods is more difficult to touch than others.
Mere understanding itself may bring pollution, let alone transforming oneself into a god.
"What you see now is one of the losers."
"It's just that he is lost now and has completely forgotten the past."
"Now He has identified himself as the supreme god in this world."
With an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, Keynes spoke softly:
"This is a god who has long since fallen."
…
…
There is such a problem.
What exactly are gods?
This question has been the biggest question in human minds since gods appeared in this world.
In the eyes of believers, they are great existences hanging high in the sky, sitting in palaces, overlooking the world.
Believers say:
【They are high above.
They are omnipotent.
It is the will that creates the world.
They are the incarnation of laws and the concretization of rules.
...]
As believers, they gained precious lives under the mercy of the gods and enjoyed the lambs they protected.
Gods are benevolent, and it is precisely because of their benevolence that human beings can live in the world safely and create various civilizations.
This statement was believed by many people at the beginning.
Because at that time, they did bring many miracles that were not of this world.
But later, their true colors were revealed time and time again.
They are indeed on top.
Shed believers as lambs.
They also have great power.
He has the ability to destroy heaven and earth and make all life in the world miserable.
but……
They are not the great gods who love the world as the pastor said.
The gods don't care about humans.
And, they are definitely not omnipotent!
Absolutely not.
nothing is forever.
At least those gods who try to enjoy obedience are not eternal.
Even gods are mortal.
…
…
In the entire Star Chaser Land, everyone present heard that roar.
However, in the ears of many people, they could not understand what the voice said.
I only felt the majesty and the trembling coming from the depths of my soul.
Some contestants even lost consciousness after hearing this roar and were directly eliminated!
And more undead residents, after a moment of silence, all showed the same emotion.
anger!
Following the voice in their hearts, they walked out of their original positions and looked towards the same position.
The center of the royal city, above the royal palace.
"I said, Xiao Ningfeng~"
"Um?"
What to do?
Also, don't call me so sweet.
What are you doing on such a serious occasion?
"He is threatening you! It's so scary~"
Ning Fengdao, who was highly nervous and waiting for the next change, almost had his heart broken.
"...You'd better keep quiet. It's hard for someone to come on stage and it's hard for them to show off, but your voice has been silenced."
Ning Feng said - you, a bad woman, don't try to break my Taoist heart, I have to treat each other seriously.
Ariana: Hey~
