Chapter 507 6. Letter
This is a quaint ring.
It didn't have too fancy carvings, and it looked dusty from a distance, even if it was thrown on the side of the road, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention, but it wasn't until Lothar picked it up that he saw the engraving on the back of the ring. A logo that is "engraved" by a special method.
The human emperor closed his eyes and stroked the mark with his fingers. After a moment of contact between the skin and the incision, the mark appeared completely in his imagination. It should be very similar to the eyes of a mage organization. The shape of the logo, but it has been broken, and I don't know whether it is because of the wear and tear of the ring due to the long time, or because the logo was designed like this.
This is also very likely to be a magic trap. Maybe the moment the emperor opened the ring, the explosives hidden in the ring would blow up along with him and this house, especially if the ring was given by a notorious assassin. come case.
He shouldn't take the risk.
Lothar knew this very well, but after thinking about it for several minutes, he still chose to open it.
He feels that if there really is such a person who thinks about the future of human civilization, then doubts at this time may cause human civilization to lose one of the best opportunities, a chance to survive in a desperate situation.
"click"
This magic ring did not set a password. When Lothar touched the surface of the ring, several things appeared in front of him out of thin air.
It was a black, thick tome, a gray sealed scroll, a stacked map, and a letter on top.
There were only four things, which made Lothar narrow his eyes suspiciously. Is the so-called future of mankind hidden in these four things?
Will such a future be a little light?
But the complaints are the ones, the emperor still reached out and took out a pair of leather gloves from his drawer, put on his glasses, and picked up the letter that was placed on the top.
"Emperor Lothar:"
"When you read this letter, you must have seen the future... the gloomy future that hangs over your empire, maybe you and all the nobles behind you are trying to save it, maybe You're the only one busy saving, but it doesn't matter, because whether you like it or not, human civilization has reached a fork in the road, and no matter which way you go, you will enter a new era."
This passage caused a ray of light to flash in Lothar's eyes, but he did not show a special expression, but continued to read it calmly.
"Tyrion has forced you into this situation, but please believe me, he is not just trying to destroy human civilization. Under the brilliance and oppression, all his actions hide a great and noble goal , This is also a point that he is very criticized, at least in my opinion, the blind oppression of the dark blade may not make you understand the expectations that the king of the dark blade has for you, but he is unwilling to tell you that he What are you looking forward to…”
"He longs for the awakening of the civilized self! He longs for you to truly awaken in your predicament, longing to see the human civilization that is truly united and detached under heavy pressure, and even the whole world! He hopes to see the Dark Blade Legion he commanded be defeated You who are united are defeated, and he desires that you can prove your ability in the war, prove your potential, and prove that you are qualified to rule the land under your feet."
"According to my observations, Tyrion, and even most of the undead, have a serious tendency to self-destruction under the cold appearance, but the Dark Blade King is eager for you to perform the ritual of destruction. In this kind of contradictory psychology, you are forced to the last corner of the battlefield by him step by step, and you are only one step away from ushering in your final defeat."
"But it's a pity that your performance in the early stage of this war was so poor that I, who once had hope in you... felt disappointed. At that time, I would think that your existence might really not be too big However, from the recent series of events, I have seen a glimmer of hope, which is why this letter appeared in your hand."
Emperor Lothar shook his head. Even through the letter paper, he could feel the contradictory thinking of the writer of the letter. He was describing Tyrion's psychological activities, but he was describing his own psychological activities. Woolen cloth?
Seeing this, Lothar can already confirm that the person who wrote this letter is definitely an undead, and he should be a high-ranking undead commander in the Dark Blade Legion. At least he can get in touch with Tyrion himself in daily life, and He has a deep understanding of the Dark Blade King.
"Tyrion is not a pure death tyrant as you imagine, in fact, in my opinion, but from the ruler's consciousness and wisdom and vision, he is more powerful than any other in your system Nobles must be more competent. The existence of him and the civilization system he single-handedly supported has proved to the humans and aliens in southern Xinjiang that the people can still maintain their lives even when the royal power disappears. better."
"So you should fear him. Apart from the oppression on the battlefield, I think you have enough reasons to fear him."
"Maybe war can only destroy the shell of the empire, but believe me, the flame of another civilization ignited by Tyrion himself is also capable of burning your old world. Although it is still very immature, it is catching up with you." The speed is astounding...Frankly, throughout the history of Azeroth's civilization, I have never seen a civilization as dynamic as the Federation District."
"Emperor Lothar, if you haven't been provoked to arouse your inner arrogant anger after reading this, if you can still think clearly...then next, I'm going to say something more important, related to the empire future."
Emperor Lothar rubbed his forehead, he reached out and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and adjusted the brightness of the spar lamp in front of him to the highest level. Obviously, he didn't want to miss any word in this letter.
"I can assure you, Emperor of Humanity, within the Dark Blade Legion, the death lords have never really regarded human beings as opponents. From the recent arrangement of Dark Blade, you must be able to see that the real opponent of the dead spirits is Demons, that is to say, you still have the last time to save yourself before the dark blade knights clear up the demons that rushed into the eastern continent."
"Judging from the information obtained from the secret agents placed by Dark Blade in the empire, you have already formulated a complete set of plans for the westward journey. How much time is it, my advice to you is to speed up immediately! Because the sea...is not as safe as you think."
"The ray that killed the great demon a few days ago, yes, I can tell you clearly that it was made by Tyrion. He could have directly destroyed your empire with this terrifying weapon, but he He didn’t do that, in his heart, the devil is the biggest enemy in this world, I think, you should feel lucky about that.”
To be honest, after reading this sentence, there was indeed a trace of sweat on Lothar's bald forehead. He had witnessed the power of that ray of light with his own eyes. He didn't think that the human empire could survive under that ray of light.
And this also allowed Lothar to once again recognize the gap between the Empire and the Dark Blade. He hurriedly turned to the second page of letter paper and continued to read:
"My advice to you and your empire is: if you can reach Kalimdor safely, then in the short term, don't try to counterattack the eastern continent. The gap between the empire and the dark blade is too big. Let you go Chasing that gap is unrealistic, so I give you three things..."
"The map of the southeastern part of the underground city in the Black Iron District marked the location of a very important person to you. He did not serve the Dark Blade, and he can help you plan your own empire in a short time. The engineering system, the emperor of mankind, although I am an experienced magic user, I have to admit that in such a large-scale war, engineering is more useful than magic, and the dark blade has proved this with facts a little."
"The second thing is the "Silver Ash Codex", which is a secret system hidden in the Drusva Mountains of Kul Tiras, which records a profession called "Ash Knight" that has a strong restraint on evil spirits. Complete information about the system, it is not more powerful than paladins, but believe me, the cost of cultivating an ashen knight is much cheaper than paladins, it is the most needed unit of the empire.”
"Finally, there is an extremely important scroll. This is what I prepared for you. I can't tell you what it is useful for. I can only tell you that when you confirm that there is no hope, just open it. However, everything ends ,conceited!"
"Emperor of mankind, I am not sending this letter and these things because I support you. What I want to tell you is that I am a loyal supporter of Tyrion's "Ash and Rebirth" theory, and the reason why I help you , because I saw the flaws in Tyrion's blueprint, I tried to communicate with him, but unfortunately, he is not a person who is willing to accept other people's opinions... But it is not his fault, all the undead They're all stubborn guys."
"His plan is very grand, very good, great... But unfortunately, it does not appear based on the reality of this world, although Tyrion himself is one of the most powerful fantasy creatures in the entire Azeroth , but he ignored the power of magic too much, and he himself has a weird... distrust of the power of magic, which makes me very distressed."
"Although Azeroth's magic system does focus too much on individuals and ignores groups, we are a civilization born in the magic world after all. If we abandon the use of magic, no one can predict what the future of this world will be like. And you... you are the last "safety insurance" I put on Tyrion's plan."
"If we, if the dark blade fails, then in this world, there is at least another completely different civilization waiting for the challenge... The premise is that you have to become tougher and stronger, and you have to prove that magic and Technology is not in opposition, the two can co-exist, influence each other, improve each other, and eventually reach the level of mutual integration."
"But if the future human empire is still as weak as it is now, unable to truly realize the importance of unity and enlightenment, and the wisdom of every individual, and is still bound by the backward ruling system, it is still unable to erupt the most powerful In the case of Huo Huo, all my plans are just a madman's dream."
"Don't thank me, Lothar, I just did what I think is right. Now, it's up to you to do the right thing."
"crash"
When Lothar finished reading the last sentence, the two pieces of letter paper in his hand burned strangely. Only the cold flames flickered at the emperor's fingertips, but no ashes appeared, as if they disappeared out of thin air.
The emperor's face changed, he hurriedly picked up the pen and paper, and wrote down the key points of the letter from his memory in the notes he carried with him, especially the arguments about "magic and technology", which he wrote almost verbatim down.
And right next to him, the reports of Alsace and the steel chain master were placed there. The combination of these two things made the emperor's mind feel as if a door had been opened.
If before, all he thought about was how to preserve the human empire under the pressing attack of the dark blade, then now, he has begun to think about the future direction of human civilization and the future counterattack mode of the human empire.
Yes, the empire will go far away, leave the northern land that has been standing in ancient times, and have to flee to another continent under the threat of war, but this is home, and they will come back no matter what, even if it is Experience 100 years, 1000 years...
"You can't extinguish the fire of human civilization...Tyrion, no matter what kind of person you are, whether you are a tyrant or a savior, you can never bury our civilization...you can't!"
Emperor Lothar carefully put the important things on the desk into the storage ring on his finger. He looked at the darkness outside the window. In the cold night wind, the emperor's tired thinking eased a lot. His daze had completely disappeared, and he saw the future. This was the first time he saw the future so clearly under heavy pressure and darkness.
"Maybe I won't see that day, but... the creatures raised by this land will eventually come back here! They will come back in a dignified way, Tyrion, don't even try to stop them..."
"Empire...forever!"
囧~ How should I put it, Alsace put his name on the engineer's thesis to ensure that the letter will be sent directly to Lothar and be valued by the emperor... It's not that he took the opportunity to gain his reputation or something of. That's how it was in the feudal system...
