Chapter 1223 Chasing the Ancient Gods

Hearing Victoria's answer, Modil seemed much more relieved, with a relieved smile on his face - although to him, Victoria at this moment is still just a stranger who has just met for a long time, but " The word "descendant" still produced some inexplicable imprints in the heart of this old mage who often lost his memory, and as for Victoria... her feelings were much more complicated.

But no matter what, it would be nice if I could use this topic to fool my ancestors—the shrewd, capable, mature and steady Duchess of the North felt unprecedentedly powerless at this moment.

"I'm here...in addition to getting to know you, I also want to know about your situation." After sheaving a sigh of relief, Victoria immediately took the initiative to prevent the atmosphere that had finally stabilized from slipping again. The direction that I can't control, "I learned from the dragon clan about some things that happened to you... such as memory confusion and loss, and a short period of mental trance, which may be related to your experience six hundred years ago... ..."

"Six hundred years ago..." Modil couldn't help muttering softly, with a complicated expression on his face, "Actually, even though I said that just now, I still can't believe it, six hundred years... according to what you said , I have lived almost from the early days of Ansu's founding of the country to the present, have I been wandering around like this for so many years..."

"It is not uncommon for ancients to have survived for centuries, and miracles of resurrection from the dead have also appeared. In the superhuman realm, it is inevitable that some things beyond common sense will happen," Victoria said softly. It is not inconceivable that anything can change the essence of life..."

"That's right," Modil thought for a while, and finally smiled with relief, "Don't think about it, it's rare for you to come here. You mentioned my memory and mental state just now, right... Indeed, I have a problem in this respect Big problem, not only can I not remember my last name, but also my hometown and all my experiences when I was young, you see, I don’t even know that I have left any children, I don’t know about your descendants, and I don’t know I've been wandering the world for so many years—but I've been feeling like I'm in more trouble lately than my memory problems."

"Bigger trouble?" Victoria immediately frowned slightly, "What kind of trouble?"

"Recently, I have fallen into a strange dream more than once, and in the dream, I have arrived at a strange and horrifying place that seems to be in the shadow world," Modil said while recalling his recent experience. The experience said, "I saw the gray desert and the ruins of the city in the distance, and there was a huge god...

"...The leader of the dragon tribe told me that what I saw was most likely the ancient god 'Goddess of Shadow' who had been 'missing' for nearly two million years, but as for the other voice that was almost exactly the same as mine, even he could Do not know what's going on……"

The old mage slowly told all the details he could remember,

Victoria, on the other hand, became more and more serious as she listened carefully: even a layman standing here with only a superficial understanding in the superhuman realm can realize from this narration what a weird and dangerous experience it was, let alone her She is a knowledgeable spellcaster, and at the same time, she has the authority to access the huge amount of information released within the Theocratic Council—she can think of more.

It was about an ancient god, and that god was even in the same age as the dragon god... The complexity and importance of this matter instantly exceeded her expectations before she set off.

Hearing the old mage talk about his last-minute thrilling experience in the "dreamland", and hearing that he was about to step out of the street and onto the gray-white desert, Victoria's eyes finally changed slightly, and she subconsciously said: " You were almost about to step into that desert? But you were pulled back by me?"

"I'm not sure what force pulled me back, but this is the biggest possibility," Modil said very seriously. Although his memory was messy and broken, the knowledge in his mind was still vast, As a knowledgeable transcendent, he can roughly guess what caused him to wake up based on speculation, "Your magic interference, spiritual comfort, maybe there is still a little blood power at work..."

"If this is true, then we should be really grateful," Victoria said from the bottom of her heart, "Unfortunately, it is difficult for us to determine the nature of the 'dream' you experienced, let alone try it What will happen if you really step into that desert... Judging from common sense, if it is really a domain created by an ancient god, then no matter what his own wishes are, that domain is a deadly threat to mortals. "

"I think so, anyway, if I am pulled into that dream again next time, I will definitely find a way to wake up as soon as possible. If I can't wake up, I must find a way to fix myself in a safe place to prevent being tempted by inexplicable forces. Run to commit suicide..." Modil curled his lips, raised one foot and dangled it while speaking, it was the foot he almost stepped into the desert in the dream, "It was almost, I am here Only the toes are touching..."

Halfway through the old mage's speech, his voice stopped abruptly. He stared at his toes with wide eyes, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely serious.

Victoria noticed this immediately, and subconsciously followed the old man's gaze - she immediately saw what made Mordill suddenly serious: on the front of the old mage's boots, a few gray-white grains The sand was quietly adhering to the leather surface of the boots, and against the black background, the few grains of gray-white matter that seemed to belong to this world were particularly eye-catching.

"This..." Victoria was stunned and reacted instantly, but before she could take any action, Mordir's voice sounded first: "Don't move, this is a sample!"

While speaking, the old mage waved his hand in the air, and the invisible magic power condensed into a translucent hand of evocation—Victoria had never seen such a dexterous and precise evocation spell. She saw that Hands condensed with magic power carefully pinched the few grains of off-white sand, and slowly put them into a small wooden plate on the desk next to it. He walked out according to the route he had entered the house, and returned to the house after another half a minute.

Victoria knew that the old man was going to check if there were any other grains of sand left on the ground when she was walking around—behind the peaceful and informal appearance was an extremely meticulous and cautious character, and she finally established the first respect for her ancestors. an impression.

"No more," Mordir returned to the desk, his eyes fixed on the few grains of sand in the wooden tray, muttering under his breath as he thought, "it seems that I brought this thing from 'over there' of."

Then he raised his head, glanced at Victoria, and smiled on his face: "It's against common sense, right? I've only encountered such things that violate common sense these days. But think about the fact that there may be an ancient god behind this incident. Contacting...violating common sense is violating common sense."

"You arrived there in a dream... and then you even brought the things there to the real world!" Victoria opened her eyes slightly, thoughts racing through her mind, "Does this mean...you and' The 'distance' over there is..."

"Yeah, I'm afraid I'm getting closer to 'over there'." Modil nodded slightly without waiting for Victoria to finish speaking, but there was no tension or fear on his face, "At first I could only listen to Heard some sounds, saw some pictures, and then the notes I left over there were mapped to the real world, and then... You see, I even brought out all the things over there. Think about me over there 'attracted', it's very much a gradual process..."

"Then you can still be so calm?" Victoria's expressionless face finally changed, "The power of that ancient god is chasing you—whether it is malicious or not, it is definitely not a good thing for mortals!"

"Yeah, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. I have encountered many thrilling situations in my life, but this time I got on the sidelines with God, but it was too exciting," Modil said helplessly, "I would think I try my best to deal with it, but I don’t think it will have much effect—what we have to face is the power of the ancient gods, and the weirdness of the gods is beyond the imagination of ordinary people... Let’s take one step at a time .”

"No, it's not enough," Victoria stood up from her chair, "I'll report this to the higher authorities immediately, and I'll also tell the upper echelons of the Dragon Clan about it, and they will all find a way—don't worry, even if the opposite party really It is the power of the gods, and we are not powerless, the empire also holds the power equal to the gods..."

Modil looked at Victoria with a serious face in surprise, looked up and down a few times and couldn't help but said: "But aren't you just an ordinary administrative official in the government affairs hall? How does this sound..."

"...you believe that I am," Victoria interrupted the old man a little bluntly, "this has nothing to do with my identity, what happened to you is extremely special, and it is enough to arouse His Majesty, the upper echelons of the Dragon Clan, and even many leaders of the alliance. attention—the value of your existence is much more important than what you think.”

Mordir took a deep look at Victoria, and then looked away after a while, with a faint smile on his face, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, of course I believe you. But before the big shots you mentioned can react, I still have to find a way to protect myself..."

"I will stay in Tarrond for a while," Victoria said immediately, "Since I can wake you up from the 'dream', then my presence by your side should play some role..."

"Let's not talk about that," Modil waved his hand, "Before I'm pulled into that 'dream' next time, I have to get as much information as possible, some information about... myself. Except for the information that I can't touch Besides, I hope you can complete my missing memories as much as possible."

"Of course." Victoria nodded immediately, "Where do you want to start to understand?"

"Let's talk about my 'disappearance' first." Modil thought for a while, then said slowly, "I'm afraid that is the 'starting point' of my memory loss...Victoria, what is the last clue I left in front of the world? "

"In Mosswood, your last adventure is north of Mosswood..."

...

In the southwest of New Argondor, the whistling sound of giant wings tearing the air fell from the sky, accompanied by the surge of magic power and two gusts of wind, two huge black figures landed one after the other on the hills at the edge of the barren wilderness superior.

They were two black giant dragons, one of which was small in size, but wore a formidable steel armor and a complex magical mechanism on its body, and the other was huge and strong, but its strong and wide wings were full of scars. There are even more hideous and terrifying scars running through the entire torso.

"This is the boundary of the safe zone," the black dragon with scars all over his body came to the edge of the hill, and his deep voice sounded, "Did you see the beacon lights flashing in the wilderness in the distance? Those are the adventurers The border laid down with the soldiers of the advance force, every time we cleared the monsters in an area and repaired the local elemental cracks and space cracks, we would set up this kind of beacon light on the border, and wait until the new place was cleared, and the beacon light The beacon lights are extended outwards—but this expansion is not always smooth. Many times, wandering monsters will suddenly appear and reoccupy the security boundary that is not stable enough, and then we have to push the defense line back... Sometimes this kind of seesaw has to last several times before a safe area can be completely stabilized.

"It is also for this reason that the new review panel has assigned a clear 'safety level' to each area. Major cities such as Agondor and Binhai County and the surrounding suburbs belong to the green safety area. This area has been completely stabilized and there will be no Elemental creatures and malicious spirits, the pollution has also been cleaned up, they can live with peace of mind, and the facilities are relatively complete;

"The wilderness farther away is divided into orange areas. These areas still have sporadic monster activities, or there are unstable geological structures and incompletely purified pollution sources. Occasional disasters occur, but basically no activated elements will appear. Fissures, these areas have a very low chance of deterioration, and are basically transforming into green areas—most of the new adventurers are also operating in these areas, and their main task is to maintain the stability of the orange area and clear the area of ​​small-scale Monsters, and at the same time ensure that various resources produced in the Orange Zone can be safely transported to the Green Zone;

"Further outside, there is the unsafe 'red zone'-basically the boundary of the 'survivable zone'. These areas have only undergone basic clearing and guarding. Except for the only supply lines that can barely pass through, the wilderness There are still large-scale activities of elemental creatures and malicious spirits, and unstable elemental rifts and space rifts will emerge at any time. The dragon warriors who are in charge of these areas are mainly the advancing troops, but there are also a few seniors who have passed the assessment. The adventurers are assisting from the side, conducting some investigations and mopping up work."

Speaking of this, Coretta paused for a moment, and then continued with a little sigh: "Before the arrival of those adventurers and the support materials from Loren Continent, our advancement work was very difficult, and almost all the soldiers' energy was wasted. We are at the border of the 'Orange Zone', and the lack of supplies is also an important reason for the slow progress—it was not until the arrival of the support from the Loren Kingdom that our embarrassing situation was finally relieved."
