Chapter 852 The Little Secret of the Augustus Family

For hundreds of years, the eternal sleepers dormant in the old city of Typhon have been trying to understand and analyze the secrets of the gods from an ancient device. They once thought that the device with powerful confinement power was a prisoner The cage, a part of the fragment used to imprison the gods, never thought that it was actually a container and altar specially built for the gods - it carried the eyes of the gods.

This is undoubtedly a great irony, and...horror.

The only luck for the eternal sleepers is that the restraint facility from the ancient times failed, and the "eye of God" contained in it was truly shielded. It was temporarily unable to return to the realm of the gods, but could only be treated like a real prisoner. Locked on the "Throne" originally prepared for it, this did not cause a divine disaster that was comparable to the "Upper Narrator Incident" in that year.

There are only two choices left for the eternal sleeper, either, completely destroy the "God's Eye" in the restraint field, or, in some way, safely and permanently isolate the god's eye from the god's world, so as to ensure that even if the restraint device fails one day, That eye also doesn't "tell" the gods what it sees.

Gawain frowned, looking at the starlight aggregate floating on the opposite side: "Is the collapse of Orandel caused by your attempts to destroy or seal the Eye of God?"

"It's one of the reasons, but it's not all because of us," Megall III's tone suddenly became a little weird, and seemed to be sighing at the impermanence of fate, "We finally decided to destroy the Eye of God and made a plan for this. ——During hundreds of years of research, we have gained a certain understanding of the ancient restraint device, and have been able to make more control and adjustment to it, and we have found that closing its inner loop at the right time The stable structure can generate a powerful energy shock in the confinement field, and if the recharge level of the outer ring area is adjusted to the highest, this shock can even completely annihilate the power of the gods in the center of the energy field...

"After much discussion and calculation, we are ready to implement this solution - and for this, we need a period of time to charge the outer ring of the restraint device.

"The accident happened at this stage - you remember, the entire ancient ruins are in the old capital of the Typhon Empire, the underground of Orlandel.

"While we were working on adjusting the restraints, the Augustus family suddenly decided to renovate the city's drainage - it all seems too coincidental now, but no one found it at the time - the city of that era The drainage facilities are very backward, you know, the Typhon more than 200 years ago is no different from the old Ansu. The so-called urban drainage channel is an underground underground river that just goes through the Orlandale. People drain all the dirty water. Go there, except for the dark river and limited ditches, most of the urban areas have no sewers. It is under such circumstances that the Typhon royal family at that time suddenly wanted to build an artificial sewer outside the main urban area, so They started digging down...

"They dug very deep, but initially they didn't touch the 'dome' of the underground palace, but strange things still happened: the workers in charge of the excavation had hallucinations underground,

As more and more earth and stones were transported out, the mental state of the diggers deteriorated. At first, the nobles did not care about the state of the civilian workers, but suspected that they were being lazy and forced them to work underground for a longer time. , but soon the hallucination began to extend to the overseers and even the knights stationed near the excavation site...

"And when there was an abnormality on the surface, we focused most of our attention on the ground, so that until more and more diggers got out of control, the Typhon royal family even began to send elemental mages to open the land and try to dissolve through the rock formations. When we suddenly realized something:

"I don't know when the restraint device has weakened. The 'eye of God' has its own consciousness. It secretly spreads its own power without causing us to be alert. After years of infiltration and pollution, it has affected to the inhabitants of Orlandale - even to the royal family that rules Orlandale."

Amber, who was standing by the side, couldn't help swallowing: "Well... then what?"

"The situation started to get out of control - some members of the royal family and a large number of workers, overseers, and nobles who were sent to dig the burrows were contaminated, and they began to dig down frantically, and the mages loyal to the royal family also participated, under the attack of powerful magic , all the protections we set up didn't work, they soon dug a big hole in the center of Orlandale and found the dome of the underground palace, and then the dome was also dug up, and the royal knights and mages flocked to enter.

"The whole Orlandale was shrouded in a strange, fearful and tense atmosphere. The commoners didn't know what was going on. The little nobles and businessmen were frightened by this crazy excavation. The nobles said that treasures were found underground, which further aggravated the chaos in the city...

"The Eternal Sleeper Religion is powerless to stop all this, and more importantly... The Eye of God has begun to show a tendency to activate.

"It knew what we were going to do, and it resisted. The members of the Eternal Sleeper Order are all powerful spiritual mages, and they have firmly resisted the gods. Under the circumstance of being suppressed by the restraint device, it took us No way, so it turned the unsuspecting people on the surface into tools. As the royal knights entered the dungeon and began to destroy the power stations, the eye of the gods also began to impact the magnetic cage of the restraint device, and our original The energy that is going to be used to annihilate the Eye of God is not ready yet, and the arrangement is started rashly, which is very likely to let the Eye of God escape from the force field and return to the God Realm...

"My only option at the time was to stop the out-of-control, crazy diggers and the Typhon royal family who kept sending more knights in the rear.

"I and several archbishops ventured to the surface from other passages and infiltrated the castle of the Augustus family, and what surprised us was that half of the nobles and a considerable number of royal family members in the castle were still struggling to resist. The erosion of the Eye of God, and even the Emperor himself... barely maintains his sanity.

"Most of the diggers and knights who poured into the underground palace were not sent by them, and no one knows who gave those people the order to keep digging and invade the underground palace, and the other half were sent by the emperor who barely kept his senses. The people who blocked and investigated the situation, but they went crazy immediately after entering the underground palace and lost contact with the castle. The castle could not receive any news, and its judgment function was in a state of confusion, so they continued to send more investigation teams. , more and more people poured into the underground palace.

"Fortunately, after establishing a powerful spiritual barrier, we let the emperor and some ministers get rid of the erosion of the Eye of God - under the circumstance that the royal guards were surrounded, I told the truth of the underground to Typhon at that time. emperor.

"Of course, I didn't tell the emperor that behind the 'eyes of God' is a 'true god' in the eyes of the public, because normal people's views of gods are obviously very different from our views of gods, and I told him that it was a crazy evil god , and our research and the excavation of the surface together awakened him.

"We - the people on the ground and the people on the ground - stabbed a huge basket together, but there was no time to pursue the issue of responsibility. After quickly judging the situation in the underground palace, the emperor decided to evacuate the entire city and take all the unexplored The polluted people were all evacuated, creating a no-man’s land around the city, and during this period, we started the underground annihilation plan to completely destroy the Eye of God.”

Gawain nodded lightly: "Evacuate the civilians, create a mental isolation zone to prevent the spread of spiritual pollution, and destroy the pollution center... The idea is correct, then what?"

Megall III was silent for a moment, with a sigh in his tone: "Driven by the knights and noble soldiers, the evacuation was quickly completed, and several archbishops and I blocked all the passages in the inner layer after returning to the underground palace. , blocking those crazy knights and diggers who had entered the underground palace, which successfully delayed for some time, at the appointed moment, the energy was finally enough, we successfully triggered the energy shock of the restraint device, and the eye of God disappeared in the powerful impact— —We began to cheer until the Wrath of Earth and Wrath of Oblivion slammed down our dome one after the other."

Amber blinked and spread out his hands: "...the same as what I thought."

"We didn't think of it at the time," said Megall III in a self-deprecating tone, "that we were a group of... researchers, maybe extreme researchers, we were a dark sect, a fallen priest, paranoid, ruthless, A terrible path was chosen, but stripped of all that, we are still a group of researchers—and myself included.

"Researchers' heads are not good at speculating about the wrath of the earth and the creation of annihilation that fell on their heads."

"Emperor Typhon made a cold decision two hundred years ago, but do you want to hear my opinion?" Gawain said slowly, his eyes falling on the starlight aggregate.

"...That makes sense, doesn't it?"

"It makes sense," Gawain nodded lightly, "If you failed to destroy the Eye of God at that time, then the Orlandale area would be the source of the disaster. Destroying the entire area may not be able to stop the coming of the 'Evil God'. But at least it may delay the evacuation of other people for more time. If you successfully destroy the Eye of God, then Emperor Typhon at that time will not let you continue to live - you are a dark order, and in the imperial capital, Breeding under the noses of royalty for hundreds of years, to a certain extent, you even have the ability to cause turmoil in the entire empire, which no ruler can tolerate.

"So regardless of the outcome, you must all die in Orlandale."

"I figured it out later," Megall III said with a chuckle. "Many of us figured it out."

"But you can't find an empire for revenge—especially after suffering heavy losses," Gawain said calmly, "more importantly, as time goes by, the new generation of believers who have been added in become more and more Many, the Order of the Eternal Sleepers will eventually forget what happened in Orlandel, and the Augustus family will also think that there can be no survivors when the entire city collapses. They shouldn't have the ability to scrutinize what's going on deep underground - this horrific and potentially tainted royal event will be buried, everyone will forget it, and even if someone remembers it will never be acknowledged.

"On the other hand, later facts also proved that Emperor Typhon's judgment was actually very accurate - just two hundred years later, you group of 'researchers' who are not bound by law and morality have made it on the spot. The second 'disaster', this disaster is even a god created by yourself.

"How catastrophic would the upper narrator be if I didn't show up?

"I believe that the scale of the disaster is definitely worth the Typhon royal family to send their mages to smash the entire Orlandale area and all of you with the creation of annihilation again."

The starlight body of Megall III shrank, and the tone was full of helplessness: "...It is extremely ironic and cannot be refuted."

"So it's all in one word—" Gawain sighed softly, "Yes."

Megall: "..."

"We won't discuss this topic anymore," Gawain shook his head and opened the paragraph, "Now there is evidence to prove that your original destruction of the Eye of God did not seem to have been completely successful - the spiritual pollution of the gods survived, Augustus The curse of the Tou family is the proof."

"We suspect that the Eye of God escaped at the last moment of being destroyed, but after all, it was severely damaged, and it was unable to return to the gods, so it parasitized in the blood of Augustus' family," Megol III replied, "For two hundred years, this curse has continued, neither strengthened nor weakened. We have some archbishops who have extended their lifespan and experienced the events of the year, and even think that this is the price paid after the 'betrayal' of the Augustus family... Of course, in After the 'upper storyteller' incident, there should be some changes in the mentality of this part of the archbishop, after all, the blow is too big."

Gawain now understands why the group of archbishops of the Eternal Sleeper follows Cecil so resolutely - his deterrence as an "outlander" is only one of the reasons, and the remaining factors are obviously the same as those of Orlandel two hundred years ago. disaster related.

In addition to this, what he is most concerned about at the moment is the curse of the Augustus family.

"Do you think the 'Eye of God' can recover and escape after entering the bloodline of the Augustus family?" He frowned and asked solemnly.

"The odds are low," replied Megall III, "that we have been following the curse of the Augustus family, which has apparently become something pure, like a sequelae of mental pollution, and which has grown over the generations. The dilution and transformation of bloodlines, the 'god' part of this curse can only get weaker and weaker. After all, the soul of mortals is far lower than that of gods, and the power of gods has been parasitized in the souls of mortals for a long time, and it is destined to continue to decline. Go on. Of course, it is only the 'divineness' of the curse that has declined, and the strength of the curse itself... It seems that it has not weakened in the past two hundred years."

"Really..." Gawain touched his chin and said as if talking to himself, "Does things related to God really die out so easily..."
