Chapter 58, Legacy of the Old Ones
After Ryan received the message from Urick, he immediately learned from the Church of Justice and the defenders where the relics of the Old Saints were located.
The news is that the relics of the Old Ones are located in Nora's abandoned manor.
So it was not accidental that Ryan took Teresa to listen to Nora's lecture to the children that day, but he did it consciously, and he needed to put a cover on his actions.
"According to Ms. Nora, the compass that can record time is in the basement." Ryan swaggered into the big house.
As soon as he entered the big house, a curled up figure in the corner of the house let out a mournful wail. This humanoid creature was all gray and white, and looked like a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was only wearing single clothes in the middle of winter, and her eyes had been blocked Stabbed blindly, shed bright red blood, and rushed towards Ryan.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh also someone is here at last!"
The middle-aged woman rushed towards Ryan, and her stiff hands stretched directly towards Ryan: "Help me! Save me!"
Ryan raised his right hand, and spiritual energy radiated from the palm of his right hand, illuminating the entire interior of the big house.
The shining psychic energy had just irradiated the middle-aged woman, her gray body immediately seemed to be corroded by magma, making a sound like roasting meat, and then her body was quickly covered by the blue psychic energy. Surrounded by flames.
"Help me! Help me! I'm just a wounded traveler! Please! Don't hurt me!" The middle-aged woman was surrounded by blue flames and rolled on the ground in pain. She immediately begged the White Wolf Knight .
Ryan's face was flat and he didn't say a word. Instead, he increased the radiation power of the spiritual light, and soon the middle-aged woman was burned to ashes.
It is the Eyeless One!
In Nord, if a person dies of a sudden illness instead of an honorable death in bed or in battle, and his family or fellow villagers are unable or unwilling to help him with a proper burial, he will be thrown into the snow Violent corpse.
Some "dead people" will revive strangely, and try to go home as "guests" as undead. In order to prevent this, the living people remove their eyes from their bodies, even if they are revived, they can't see which direction to go.
However, hunger and resentment filled their hearts, and this difficulty could not stop their determination to return home. Their skin was pale and their eyes were empty.
These undead creatures do not have the kindness and love of life when they were alive, only endless hunger and resentment, they hide their own plots, and lead the travelers who are kind to help them fall into the dug deep pit, and then suck the souls of the living and goug out their eyes Trying to install it in your own eye hole. The locals know not to help a poor blind man with a bloody hole in the wild, and those well-wishers have paid with their lives for his kindness.
At this time, there is no need for any mercy. The only way for this kind of undead to send them to life is true kindness.
After solving this eyeless person lurking in the dark, Ryan began to search for the existence of the basement on the first floor.
From the decoration of this family, it can be seen that what Nora said about the poor family is indeed correct. Even though it has been abandoned for many years, Ryan can still see that many of the furniture in the house are very old, and some floors can be seen It was broken before it fell into disrepair.
Ryan quickly found the entrance to the basement, which was hidden in the kitchen. Ryan moved the wreckage of the collapsed building away, and then pulled the wrench on the floor.
The iron stairs fell down, and Ryan tried a little bit and felt that there was no problem, so he lit the torch and entered the basement.
"It's a little strange... According to the standards of normal manor owners, this basement is too big, right?" Ryan raised the torch alone and checked the situation in the basement.
There was a foul smell in the basement,
This place was originally used to store food, wine and other supplies, but no matter how good the basement or cellar is, things will always go bad after more than ten years.
Ryan continued to explore cautiously. He stretched out a blue psionic blade from his right wrist, and cooperated with the torch to illuminate the dark environment in the basement.
Enter the inner room through the musty room where the food is stored.
"I see." Through the storage room outside, the internal environment finally made Ryan understand why the basement was so big.
Because the old sage's compass is very big, really big, this compass with a diameter of at least five meters or more is engraved with countless patterns and runes, and the marks used to record time on the compass have exceeded its range-this proves that the distance It has been more than ten thousand years since the Old Ones came to this world.
In the center of the huge compass, a bright star illuminates the surroundings. Around this star, all compasses are composed of perfect circles and various complex figures around the star in the middle, such as squares, rectangles, polygons, and diamonds. This pattern constitutes a harmonious and perfect unity.
Walking in front of the compass, Ryan hung the torch on the wall, and after confirming that there was no one around and nothing watching him in the void, the White Wolf Knight raised his head, and he stretched out a hand towards the huge compass .
The pure light blue spiritual energy slowly poured into the compass along with the man's movements.
Yes, this gigantic contraption is not at all a compass for keeping track of time as the Old Ones call it.
This huge device is the instrument by which the Old Ones link the spiritual lines of the entire planet and store the oldest and deepest secrets!
Ancient instruments activated by pure psychic energy.
"If you want to activate the instrument of the Old One, only you have the unique psionic ability on this planet." These are the exact words of my father.
"Clang~clang~clang~" The ancient instrument began to be activated under Ryan's spiritual energy, and the sound of friction between stones and iron was very ear-piercing.
Even after more than ten thousand years, the Old Sage's machine can still be used. Ryan's light blue spiritual energy is continuously injected into the compass, and the whole device makes a creaking sound and starts to rotate. The dust was blown away, and the energy in the compass seemed to respond to Ryan's psychic energy.
The device is turned on.
At the same time, a strong feeling of sadness and despair flooded Ryan's mind.
His mind was caught in a hallucination.
This is a war.
A terrible war, which lasted for millions of years, almost wiped out the Old Ones.
In the end, in order to escape the enemy's attack, the last old saints found this star field shrouded in eternal warp space storm. The enemy is a skeleton composed of fully armed machines, and a terrible existence burning with flames all over the body... …
Just seeing this, Ryan felt a pain in his head, and immediately got out of this state. He knew that his strength was not enough, so he could only see this, and looking down, he couldn't do it with his current weak strength.
So Ryan turned his attention to infusing psionic energy into the instrument.
Time passed quickly, and Ryan tirelessly injected his psionic energy into this device.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
It wasn't until the fifth hour that Ryan had injected almost all of his psychic energy into the device, and the device finally started.
It showed its whole picture to Ryan, and a mysterious message was transmitted into Ryan's mind.
"Latecomers, we are the Old Sages, the oldest intelligent creatures in the universe, welcome to come."
Ryan silently added one in his head.
"After a terrible war, we came to this world. This planet and the nearby star field are enveloped by an eternal giant warp storm. We are safe for the time being, but we know that the terrible warp predator It was only a matter of time before we were found."
"Therefore, we have hidden all our accumulations in the planet's device, which contains part of the energy and part of the technology accumulated by our race over tens of millions of years, although most of them are in this strange planet It’s not available online, but it’s a continuation of our race’s culture and technology.”
"Use them well, latecomers."
With the end of the last sentence, this ancient device finally revealed its full picture in front of Ryan.
Even with mental preparation, Ryan still felt suffocated after seeing what was in front of him!
This device stores the purest cosmic energy that the Old Sages have collected and stored for tens of thousands of years!
This energy is so powerful that the White Wolf Knight feels his own insignificance, incomparably insignificant, like the difference between a grain of sand and the Milky Way, even against the White Wolf God of War Urik. To make Ryan so trembling and excited, the White Wolf Knight can feel that these energies are extremely pure and clean, as long as he hooks his fingers, these energies can be used by him immediately!
In an instant, Ryan's mind was forcibly filled with endless pictures.
After accepting such a powerful energy, the great Lion, this foreigner will become the most powerful psyker in the whole continent, no, the world, the greatest knight, and he will command a vast army that has never been seen before. Master, planting the banner of victory in every corner of the world, no elves and dwarves can stop his footsteps at all, he will rule the world, and call himself the Great Lion, after the bloody conquest, countless hymns and ribbons will be he blooms.
Men love him and worship him. Any human who dies for Ryan will receive the highest glory, which is the highest praise for a human being. Women are obsessed with him. His harem will be filled with all races, all types of nationalities The color is heavenly, one city after another, mountains, and continents will be named after him, and the statues of Emperor Ryan will spread all over the entire continent. Chaos will linger under his blows, and he has to retreat to the darkest and deepest corner of the continent, shivering , As soon as he heard Ryan's name, his soul was blown away, welcoming the arrival of the doomsday.
not enough! This is not enough! ! ! He deserves more! The golden throne belonging to his father is waiting for him, and the loyal son will take over the huge scepter from his father, and he will become the master of the galaxy! King of the Universe!
Wearing a crown and holding a scepter, the proud "Emperor Ryan" sat on the golden throne and said eagerly to Ryan: "Quick! Quick! Absorb all this energy, quick! As long as Take these for yourself! The me I am now is the you in the future! This is what you are destined to deserve! Move your hands and get it!"
Ryan stretched out his hand towards his phantom with a look of fascination.
"That's right! That's right! That's right, it's just a matter of effort for you, come on, let's become one!" "Emperor Ryan" on the golden throne was even happier, he opened his mouth wide, revealing his fat tongue And a mouth full of gold teeth.
However, the White Wolf Knight's movements stopped.
"What's the matter? Strength, beauty, power, aren't these all things you desire? Come and get it! Come and get it!" Seeing Ryan's movements stagnating, Xu Ying said anxiously.
What answered him was the white wolf knight's flipped wrist and raised middle finger.
"F**K YOU!" Ryan said lightly to his phantom: "I don't want to eat this!"
So all the hallucinations and illusions disappeared, and what was left was the damp and cold basement, and the ancient holy relics displayed in front of Ryan.
Nothing has changed.
Do not! It's not that it hasn't changed! ! ! A phantom of a man shining with golden light, wearing a huge golden full set of plate armor, with long black hair, and an unparalleled majesty and stalwart body stood behind Ryan. There was no expression on his face, only the pair of The reflection of Ryan flashed in the eyes of countless wisdom and majesty.
Ryan turned around immediately, with surprise and joy on his face: "Father!!!"
Although the tone of the voice that answered him was cold, it still expressed the appreciation of Ryan from the owner of the voice: "Well done, my son."
…………
The land of the extreme north, the wasteland of chaos.
The Chaos Wasteland is located in the northernmost part of the world, across the vast territory of the empire, beyond the Nord Kingdom, across the Tazir Desert and the Kislev Kingdom deep in the desert, there is the Chaos Wasteland - desolate and evil, from the wind You can hear the whispers of the dark gods amidst the roar. In the middle of this wasteland lies the kingdom of Chaos, where nightmarish horrors keep popping up. The power of the Chaos Gods is unparalleled here, and only a madman or a fool would dare to invade their territory.
The unholy winds of Chaos blow across this cursed soil, and no living creature can stay long in the most terrifying place in the world.
The third Eternal Chosen of Chaos, the King of Three Eyes, the Emperor of Chaos, the Lord of the End, and the most respected Champion of Chaos Chosen, Archaon, is sitting on his throne of Chaos, staring coldly at the front. Immediately sent his troops south to bring the end of everything in the world, but the pain in his body and the current number of troops were not enough to guarantee him to complete his goal.
He still needs patience.
At this moment, a flash of light from the south caught his attention: "What is that?"
The whispers of the evil god came from the wind of chaos soon, and Archaon took out the map, and he immediately found the approximate location of the fleeting light.
It is the largest port city in the west of Nord, Mjodenhaven.
Archaon rose from his throne, and his faithful servants immediately heard the sovereign command of the great Chaos Eternal Chosen.
"Commander Bireg! Immediately attack...Mjorden Haven!"
