Chapter 1074 Secret

In the garden of the Oak Hall, unknown flowers are blooming quietly. The powerful natural magic maintains the vitality here, allowing the various plants that can only grow in the southern region to flourish in the northern land, and there is a breeze. The world enveloped the entire courtyard, and the noise from other parts of the town was weakened layer by layer, leaving only a few subtle sounds here—it didn't seem noisy, but became more and more peaceful.

Gawain sat at the round table, the delicate gold-painted round cup smelled of fresh tea, and some elf snacks and fruits from tropical regions, which were not common in the human world, were decorated on the silver plate, which looked pleasing to the eye.

The Silver Queen Belsetia was sitting opposite him. The ruler of the elf empire had a faint smile on her face. She had been carefully sizing up Gawain for a long time before she broke the silence: "I just heard you" When the news of "resurrection", the entire elf royal court caused a stir... Many elves who are familiar with you are still alive, they were shocked by this news, of course, including me--it's a pity that the Silver Empire and Anzu at that time The distance is too far, and the situation in the north is too chaotic, we can only grasp some limited information, until the magic net is connected with the Sentinel Tower, and the information channel becomes smooth...the situation in the north becomes clear."

"...A lot of things have happened," Gao Wen recalled what he witnessed after his "resurrection", and sighed sincerely, "You can't even imagine what I saw when I woke up... The kingdom was beyond recognition , the order was chaotic, and I woke up to hit the things I fought seven hundred years ago... And the most important thing is that after seven hundred years, human beings have not made any progress in the cause of counterattacking the wasteland. back."

He spoke his sighs in the tone of Gawain Cecil, and under the influence of common memory and personal experience, these emotions were completely from the heart, and even the Silver Queen couldn't help but let out a sigh: " I can understand... For more than seven hundred years, I have witnessed how the world has changed into this way. The four pioneering legions that once rushed out of the wasteland of Gondor have become completely unfamiliar in these hundreds of years, or Good or bad, but the common point is that almost everyone has gradually forgotten the threat of the wasteland - the situation in the High Mountain Kingdom bordering the Silver Empire is better, because of the existence of a large number of half-blood elves, they are not so easy to 'forget' about history, Next is Typhon, except for a few stupid people, they always have wiser and more powerful rulers, while Anzu and Ogure..."

The Silver Queen sighed and shook her head: "If Ansu hadn't encountered that civil war, it wouldn't have declined so much, and Ogure—it itself is a tribal kingdom, and the remnants of Gondor only occupy a part of its power. Most of the indigenous races in the tribal country don't have that deep memory of the disaster, not to mention that they still have mountains and mountains as a natural barrier, and the races living in a comfortable environment are very sensitive to the crisis that happened outside their world. Dull."

Gawain couldn't help but linger on Belsetia for two more seconds - at this moment, he felt more and more clearly the "Little Silver Queen" from Gawain Cecil's memory and the beauty in front of him. The image of this lady creates a huge disconnect.

It's a strange feeling,

But he is no stranger—since the coffin was uncovered, he has come into contact with more than one "old acquaintance" who was deeply impressed in Gawain Cecil's memory, from Selena to Bertila, from Megow From King Er III to Belsetia in front of me now, these people have gone through seven hundred years, things have changed, and they are no longer what they remember. Each of them has completely changed, but... this The silver queen may have changed the most.

Gawain's thoughts could not help but spread: Among the old acquaintances he has come into contact with, only Soldering seems to have changed the least. In comparison, his changes are only a little more mature than before. Gawain thought about the reasons for this, and gradually understood——

Among all the friends who have gone through seven hundred years, Soldering is the only one who has never changed what he is looking for - a person without hair will be very obsessed with one thing.

Gawain's sudden wandering thoughts made Gawain smile unconsciously, and this smile was keenly captured by Belsetia. She showed a trace of curiosity: "Uncle Gawain, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something funny." Gao Wen shook his head and changed the topic, "And I also felt a little emotional——After so many years, when I woke up, not only did many people I knew have died , even those who are still alive have changed so much that they are almost unrecognizable."

"Does that include me too?"

"You are the one who has changed the most."

"You haven't changed much—it's almost exactly the same as the last impression in my memory," Belsetia looked seriously into Gawain's eyes, and that calm gaze even made Gawain feel a little uncomfortable, but soon The silver queen looked away, and changed the subject very naturally, "Uncle Gao Wen, let's talk about something serious while reminiscing about the past. What do you think of this meeting?"

"What do you think?" Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party said that suddenly, but the question was not difficult to answer, and he quickly realized, "I am the first promoter and caller of this meeting. , so if you ask my opinion, I certainly think this meeting is necessary and important. The reason is as I said in my previous letter, our world is not safe, and as time goes on, the bigger crisis And challenges are still waiting for everyone, whether it is to meet these challenges, or for our own peace and development, unity is necessary."

"I know all of this, I'm just curious... Is it true that you established such an alliance for the safety of this world and the future of mortal civilization?" Belsetia asked calmly, even though she was always using honorifics Calling Gao Wen, but as the Silver Queen, a certain kind of prestige that has almost become a habit still makes every word of her faintly bring pressure to people-fortunately, to Gao Wen, this kind of pressure is nothing.

He has faced the gods of the Dragon Clan and witnessed the vicissitudes of life. I am afraid that there is no existence in this world that can use pure "coercion" to have any influence on him.

"In the big picture, my only goal is indeed the safety of this world and the future of mortal civilization," Gawain said calmly, facing Belsetia's gaze, "but if you have to talk about selfishness... yes , I have selfishness. My selfishness is to hope to realize all this with my own ideas. There are many great people in this world, and they may all have their own understanding of the future of this world, but now I hope that some things will happen in this world Changes, and those changes may not be in line with everyone's expectations, but I think it's the right thing to do ... that's my biggest selfishness."

"Strictly speaking, it should be considered ambition... But it's not wrong to say it's 'selfishness'," Belsetia laughed, "I think I understand what you mean... It seems that a face-to-face conversation is indeed It is necessary, and you would not be so explicit in a letter. Well, since I asked a question, it is your turn to ask me—in exchange."

"You didn't mention this kind of exchange before," Gao Wen couldn't help saying, but then nodded, "Of course, since I'm asked to ask a question, I won't waste this opportunity, I do have something to ask ask you."

"Please—of course, try not to involve too much privacy," Belsetia said, blinking suddenly, "after all, I have grown up."

Sonia, who was standing by the side, took a breath and almost choked herself: Who can believe that the words just now were spoken by the Silver Queen?

The high-ranking courier felt a little cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and even began to worry about whether he would be able to return to the Silver Empire safely after hearing and seeing these scenes today—fortunately, she knew Belsetia and Gawain more or less, knew The scene in front of me is not too bizarre. If someone who is more ignorant and pessimistic stands here, I am afraid that he has already thought about where to bury himself at this moment...

Gao Wen didn't seem to notice the movement of the high-ranking messenger behind him, and at the same time he didn't care about Belsetia's joke. He just looked at the queen in front of him very seriously, and asked the question he had prepared earlier: "I think Find out about the current state of belief in the gods of the Silver Empire—especially the god of nature."

Belsetia seemed a little surprised, she was taken aback for a moment before saying, "That's it?"

"Is there any problem?" Gao Wen looked serious, "This is indeed what I am most concerned about right now."

"...Well, this is indeed your character," Belsetia exhaled, her expression becoming serious, "but before answering your question, I want to confirm one thing—you The letter mentioned that the gods will fall into chaos over time, and eventually become a terrible threat that mortals must face, and the God of War who descended out of control in the Typhon-Cecil War was the first... Really?"

"It's absolutely true," Gao Wen said seriously, "I know there will be many people who will question this, but we have solid evidence. Thousands of soldiers on the battlefield of Winterhold are witnesses, and Typhon has With detailed documentation, we can also provide samples recovered from the wreckage of the God of War."

"This is indeed sensational. I don't think anyone will suddenly believe that the gods who have been protecting this world will eventually become the source of the destruction of the world, even those who do not believe in it," Belsetia shook her head, "But no matter from a rational point of view In terms of personal feelings, I have to believe what you said... This is only me."

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's determined by the rules of the world," Gawain looked into Belsetia's eyes, "If you find it hard to accept, maybe another way can make those who are still in awe and close People with gods feel better—this tendency to get out of control and go crazy is not the original intention of the gods, as I said just now, it is determined by the rules of the world, and those gods... are also victims of these rules."

"It seems that you still have a lot of knowledge to share with us on this matter," Belcetia said thoughtfully. Gao Wen thought her reaction would be more violent, but the Silver Queen actually went from beginning to end. Maintaining a calm and indifferent attitude, as if even facing the secrets of the gods could not shake her reason, "I will ask you to learn more about it later, as for now... since you are interested in the belief of the gods of the Silver Empire, I will Let me tell you briefly—in terms of identity, the Silver Queen is also the highest priestess of the Druid sect, and you should really ask me about this matter.

"As many people know, the former state religion of the Silver Empire was the Druids, and the god the Druids believed in was the god of nature, the giant deer Amorn—until three thousand years ago, this belief It is the core belief of the silver elves, and even supports the operation of the elf empire to a certain extent, but after the fall of the white star three thousand years ago, everything changed. The feedback of the god of nature disappeared, and the magic of nature was cut off. During an extremely chaotic and long transformation, it split into more than a dozen large and small sects. Except for the Holy Spirit School, which fell into darkness in the later period, the other druid sects gradually became the ones that study magic and the mysteries of nature. Academic organizations, but these organizations still retain the name of 'sect', and I, the highest priestess, is one of the few remaining characters in the old Druid Church who can still be connected with the belief in the God of Nature. "

"I know something about this," Gawain nodded. "What I'm curious about is that for three thousand years after the fall of the White Star, the elves have been trying to rebuild their belief in the God of Nature from other symbolic objects, even There are many druid organizations that regard powerful animal spirits and spirits of the forest as gods and worship them... Hasn’t one of these groups managed to establish contact with a certain god and reproduce the miracle of magic?”

Belsetia looked at Gao Wen quietly, and didn't answer the question for a while. She seemed to be examining and weighing, until the scene filled with a stressful atmosphere again, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Sonia standing aside: "High-level messenger, please avoid."

There was a momentary surprise on Sonia's face, but she quickly reacted in the next second. She immediately lowered her head and left the garden without a sound. While she was leaving, the two people standing behind Belsetia A high-ranking maid also disappeared into the air without a sound, and the breath quickly left.

Gao Wen immediately realized what was happening, and he had a vague guess in his heart. Belsetia didn't make him wait too long. After there were only two people left in the garden, the Silver Queen showed a smile.

"Now we're the only ones here - back to the question.

"For three thousand years, druids, big and small, have emerged one after another. There are always people who try to use various methods to pray to nature again, hoping to awaken the god of nature in their hearts. You ask Is there some lucky cult within me that actually managed to communicate with a certain deity? Yes, of course.

"There are secret sects that have successfully communicated with the gods and reproduced miracles similar to the natural magic of the past. There are not only one, but more than one."

Gao Wen subconsciously took a breath - he never knew about this! No one knows!

He originally just asked casually, but he got an unexpected and shocking result!

"And then?" He asked immediately, "What happened to those secret sect groups?"

"It was treated as a heresy and exterminated." Belsetia said lightly.
