Chapter 3262: Old Friends Live Forever

Graipnir: "In my opinion, Tunita is indeed an unprecedented genius. Because in the years when he became a prophet, he created many miracles that even future generations cannot understand. For example, the crystal shell was invented by Tunita. Although there have been countless types of crystal shells over the years, the core crystal shell was still invented by Tunita.”

"Future generations can only expand horizontally and cannot conduct in-depth research."

In other words, later generations are only constantly changing the lower limit of the crystal shell, but the upper limit of the crystal shell is still created by Tunita more than two thousand years ago. No descendant of the Jingmu clan can surpass Tunita's achievements.

"And it's not just the crystal shell." Grapnel paused and continued: "There is also the era of shining stars created by Tunita. This is also a miracle that cannot be replicated."

"Even me, even my true form, after seeing what Tunita did, I don't understand how he did it."

When Gleipnir said this, he specifically glanced at Laplace next to him. Laplace also nodded in time, proving that what Gleipnir said was true.

Seeing everyone's doubtful eyes, Graipnir sighed softly: "Why did I say that? And why did I say that the era of shining stars was a lie? It's because Tunita is really completely different from other Jingmu tribe. His thoughts have surpassed all the Jingmu clan, so that future generations cannot understand them and can only imitate them."

The reason why "The Elegy of a Young Man" is titled "Youth" is because all those who inherit the legacy of their predecessors in Crystal City are ignorant young men between the ages of fourteen and sixteen.

There is no other age, perhaps this is a limitation of the ritual? Or is it that only teenagers of this age group are most susceptible to the influence of ideological trends?

In short, the "young man" is the protagonist of the Holy Corpse Crystal inheritance.

Whether it was the inheritance ceremony hosted by Tunita in the past or the inheritance ceremony hosted by the Presbyterian Church later, the protagonists were all young people of the right age.

It's just that the protagonist is the same, but the ending is different.

In the past, through the inheritance ceremony hosted by Tunita, the teenagers would receive the legacy and gifts from their predecessors. Not only did they gain knowledge and abilities, but they also improved their vision and structure. They could continue to break through the upper limit in their future growth, and ultimately achieve their personal goals. limit.

And countless personal limits combined together created that era of dazzling stars.

But after Tunita's death, there were obvious deviations in the ceremony hosted by the Presbyterian Church.

Obviously the ceremony hosted by the Presbyterian Church and the ceremony hosted by Tunita are the same, and the young man has gained the inheritance of his predecessors, but there is one thing that is different: the young man who inherits the inheritance of his predecessors loses his personality and eventually becomes the predecessors.

To put it simply, Tunita allows the boy to inherit knowledge and abilities without destroying the boy's human nature. The Presbyterian Church can also allow young people to inherit knowledge and abilities, but after inheriting the abilities, the young man will no longer be himself, but become his deceased predecessor.

In other words, the deceased was resurrected through the boy's body through the ritual left by Tunita. "Rebirth under the cover of a shell?" Angel asked doubtfully.

Gleipnir nodded: "Yes, it can be understood why the name of this puzzle story is "The Elegy of the End of Youth", and that's why."

A group of young people of the right age who resonated with the holy corpse crystal entered the forbidden area, and under the illumination of the ceremony, they thought they could receive gifts from their predecessors. However, nothing was gained, only the lament at the end of life.

The boy who went in was a group of ghosts who came out. This is not a tragedy. What is a tragedy?

When Gutaleis heard this, she also felt a wave of cold air rising from her back. She has good friendships with many people in the Jingmu clan, such as Kuanda, who is her good friend.

But after listening to "The Elegy of a Young Man at the End", she suddenly became a little unconfident. Among the friends she knew from the Jingmu Tribe, would there be ghosts that took over the young man's body and returned to his soul?

For example, Kuanda, as far as she knew, was also a genius who became famous at a young age. Isn't this very consistent with the plot of being reborn under a backdoor?

Will she be the one who returns to the soul?

Think about it

Gutales felt chills all over at the thought of this possibility, feeling that everything was so ridiculous. Gutarese: "At the beginning, Tunita allowed people to inherit the inheritance without any damage, why couldn't later people do it?"

Graipnir glanced at Gutales and said softly: "This is why I say that Tunita is an unprecedented genius. Because he has done things that others cannot."

"Even though I already know the content of this ritual, I still can't understand how Tunita operates?"

"As Angel said before, you have to pay for what you get. When Tunita was alive, those young people only received benefits but did not pay any price. This is a situation that even I can't figure out. .

Angel thought for a while and said, "Could it be that those teenagers had already paid the price, but the price was borne by Tunita or passed on to other things?"

Graipnir: "It is possible, but there is no evidence that Tunita paid the price secretly. The only thing that is certain is that this era of shining stars must be a false appearance, because Tunita himself must know , there will be no more stars shining after his death, this is a lie he spun."

"Let's talk about the price. On the contrary, now, gaining knowledge and ability will erase personal personality, which is more in line with the term 'price.'"

After hearing this, Gutaleis still frowned: "But the price is too high. Didn't the Elders Council of the Jingmu Clan ever think about ending this behavior? Even if they received gifts from their predecessors, this would not be enough. The future of the Jingmu clan."

Gleipnir sneered: "The Elders of the Crystal-Eye Clan may have thought about stopping the ritual from continuing, but sometimes they can't help it. It's like listening to the devil's whisper. Once you hear it, it will be difficult. If you withdraw again, your desires and bad instincts will skyrocket, completely suppressing your conscience and occupying the absolute high ground."

Once Pandora's box is opened, it is difficult to close. This is human nature.

At this point, Gleipnir naturally entered the next puzzle - "Old Friends Live Forever".

"Why do the elders of the Jingmu tribe let everything happen without stopping it? Because they have tasted the benefits, and because they also have old friends."

Graipnir paused and looked at Angel: "You should still remember the live broadcast ceremony before." Angel nodded.

Gleipnir: "As long as you have seen that ceremony, you should understand why the Elders are unwilling to give up."

Angel knew what Gleipnir meant, but Gutaleis next to him had a question mark on her face: "What is the live broadcast? And what is the ritual you are talking about? Is it a ritual in the forbidden area?" Did you go to a forbidden place?"

Gleipnir glared at Gutales angrily: "The location of the forbidden area of ​​the Crystal Eyes and the location of the gathering are completely different. Since we are gathering now, it must mean that we have not gone to the forbidden area."

Gutales: "Then what is the live broadcast ceremony you are talking about?" Gleipnir did not speak, but looked at Angel.

Live broadcasting is Angel's ability in itself. Although it may not be a secret, she can't explain it to others.

Angel also understood what Gleipnir meant, and took the initiative to say: "The live broadcast is just a form of performance, Ms. Gutales

You don't have to worry about it. As for the ceremony mentioned here, I witnessed the entire process and would like to share it with the lady. "

After that, Angel briefly introduced their previous experiences.

When they came, they passed by a ring fort and were cleared by Jingmu soldiers. Then, they witnessed the scene where an elder from Cassata summoned an old friend through a ritual.

Angel: "Because it was too far away at the time, I couldn't see clearly. I can only confirm that this old friend of Cassata is most likely just a consciousness, or a deceased soul, and is definitely not an entity."

Speaking of this, Angel did not continue, but Gutales also understood what he meant at this time.

Suppose that this soul or consciousness will eventually be combined with a young man of the right age. Then erase the boy's consciousness and let the card

Satana's dead old friend returns to the world.

Then, everything can be explained.

Graipnir: "Now you understand, it's not that the Elders are unwilling to give up the ritual, but that they themselves have a past that they can't let go of, and there is a person hidden deep in their hearts that cannot be forgotten."

"And "Old Friends Live Forever" tells a similar story." Two thousand years ago.

After the death of the prophet Tunita, the Council of Elders discovered that there was something wrong with the rituals left by Tunita.

At that time, some elders also thought about stopping it, and it was even said that the Presbyterian Council agreed to this plan. But when it came time to implement it, we found many difficulties.

Because the prestige of Prophet Tunita was so high during his lifetime that countless people had absolute trust in what he did. At this time, their attempt to refute the prophet's ideas is like telling fanatics about pagan doctrines. Not only is it an act of seeking death, but no one will pay for it.

And the most important point is that if you want to completely eliminate this ritual, you must destroy the wonder building at the core of the ritual in Crystal City.

But would the Presbyterian Church dare to do this? They dare not.

The entire Jingmu clan has moved into Crystal City for several generations.

In Crystal City, people no longer have to worry about accommodation, food and clothing, nor do they have to worry about falling on the frozen soil. They can also get to know more compatriots and establish friendly or close relationships.

Whether it is people's livelihood, education or even fertility issues for the next generation, the existence of Crystal City is indispensable.

Now it is demolished as soon as it is announced. Not only will the people not pay the bill, but the Presbyterian Church itself will not agree to it.

There is no way to dismantle the wonder buildings, and there is no way to prevent the people from integrating the holy corpse crystals into the Crystal City. Even if the ceremony is stopped in a short period of time, it is not difficult to achieve much.

This is already the consensus of the Presbyterian Church.

This was indeed the case, and it didn't take long for the stalemate to be broken. Moreover, it was the elder of the Presbyterian Church, or the Great Elder, who broke the deadlock.

The great elder did not have any partner and lived a very ordinary life, and he was given to the Jingmu clan for most of his life. In the eyes of everyone, he is a good example of dedication and dedication.

However, the Great Elder is not without his ties. He has a very close friend.

The friendship with this close friend even started when the two mothers bathed together in Xiong Lake before they were born. In hundreds of years of interaction, one became a great elder and was involved in all matters within the Crystal City; the other became a warrior, stationed at the Mirror Gate of the Crystal Kingdom all year round.

Although these two best friends have taken completely different paths, their relationship has not disappeared. On the contrary, because they are both in high positions and there are no close people around them, their relationship has become even closer.

Almost every week, the elder would communicate with his best friend on the front line through letters. As they went back and forth, the bond between them became deeper and deeper.

But because of the deep bond, when a piece of bad news came from the front line, the elder felt that the world had collapsed instantly.

A mirror ghost that emerged from the dark mirror domain tried to invade the Crystal Kingdom. In order to protect the people of the Crystal Eye Clan, his best friend dueled with the mirror ghost in front of the mirror gate. Although he killed the mirror ghost in the end, he himself was exhausted and died.

After the elder learned of the news, he went to the front line in person and brought his best friend's holy corpse crystal back to Crystal City.

After the burial, the elder spent several years in a daze.

Until one day, the elder suddenly discovered that a fifteen-year-old boy resonated with the road produced by his best friend's holy corpse crystal.

"There are more detailed follow-ups to this story, but there is actually no need to go into it in depth, because at this point, I believe you can guess the plot later." Gleipnir said lightly.

Gutalles: "The Great Elder chose to let the old friend enter the body of the boy and return to the world."

Gleipnir nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because the Great Elder started this that this ceremony, which was nominally sealed, was reactivated and continues to this day."

"The so-called "Old Friends Live Forever" is just such a story."

Gutalles frowned: "Under the skin of beautiful friendship, there are hidden the souls of young people who cry silently. No wonder every time I come to Crystal City, Kuanda always reminds me not to mention the topic of the Holy Corpse Crystal."

"Originally I thought it was to respect the deceased, but now I think it was to whitewash the peace."

Gleipnir: "Although your divergent thinking is not wrong, Kuanda's reminder is not entirely what you think. As your close friend, Kuanda told you this just because she didn't want you to be noticed by the giant city spirit."

Why do they have to cover a barrier outside even if they use the mind tie to communicate? Isn't it to avoid being noticed by the giant city spirit?

The Giant City Spirit has long been tamed by the Elders Council, and will search for all people who mention keywords. Once you mention the Holy Corpse Crystal, it is equivalent to being on the Giant City Spirit's watch list.

Once you are found to have abnormal behavior, you may really be "whitewashed".

As the spirit of a spectacular building, the Giant City Spirit is very powerful. Moreover, the building spirit has a characteristic that it can almost be called a god within the scope it covers.

And the Crystal City is the scope covered by the Giant City Spirit. Especially now, they are in the body of the Giant City Spirit.

Within the scope of the Ring Castle, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Giant City Spirit is the supreme god. Laplace in his current state is definitely not the opponent of the Giant City Spirit.

Even Gutales can't turn over in the Giant City Spirit.

Kuanda asked Gutales not to mention the Holy Corpse Crystal, which is actually a disguised way of protecting her.

Gutales looked at Gleipnir: "I have a question to ask. Since you mentioned Kuanda, do you know if she is a dead soul that came back from the Holy Corpse Crystal?"
