Chapter 1348 Form a Middle-Aged and Elderly Travel Group
The Frost Temple stands quietly in the polar cold wind as always. The ever-changing cold wind howls and rolls up countless ice flakes and snowflakes outside the temple. The multiple black-gray spiers of the temple glow with a cold blue light, like a head. Like a ferocious giant beast, it blocks all living creatures from approaching - but there is still a place as warm as spring in the temple. In the large meeting room in the center of the temple, the fireplace is burning brightly. The heat wave of the flame is guided to the entire room under the action of a few simple runes engraved on the wall, making the room extra warm. The current leader of the witcher , Elder Gregorian and Elder Hassu received Hao Ren and his party. Bai Huo was also present with her mentor. The expressions on the faces of the three demon hunters were particularly serious.
The Witcher's retro-style decoration makes this room look like it was carved out of a medieval castle. The exquisite brass lampstands and portraits hanging on the wall are all reflected by the fireplace. The flickering light of the fire made people drowsy - at least that's what Gun thought, so she openly spread out her beloved little blanket on the floor in front of the fireplace, curled up in a ball and warmed herself by the fire. While making comfortable gurgling sounds from his stomach from time to time, he secretly watched Hao Ren talking next to him.
"The life of a big cat is so boring," the cat girl commented on Hao Ren's life. "They don't even know how to warm themselves over a fire."
Hao Ren has already explained the situation of "talented magic", and Hasselblad's old-fashioned face became more serious: "Magic...if I hadn't been exposed to so many things personally, I really can't believe that the demon hunter would It has something to do with this power. You must know that there is no place for religion in the original demon hunter tradition. We have never believed in gods, let alone the so-called 'power from gods'."
Hao Ren understood this - after all, in the past few thousand years, the main thing that demon hunters did was to open the heads of "gods" around the world. This extremely violent gang really came from Olympus with a machete. Sishan cut down Asgard and wiped out the entire mythological history of the earth. It would be weird if these guys believed in gods.
However, the real gods exist after all. After the battle of Corpus, the higher-ups among the demon hunters already knew this and subtly hinted the truth to the lower-level demon hunters. As for Hasselblad himself, even more Knowing that the God of this universe is a goddess, and that the goddess also has a five-digit reputation, it is much easier for him to accept the truth of "divine magic" than other demon hunters.
"We are only guessing that demon hunters have the talent to use divine magic. However, because your original possible source of divine power, the goddess of creation, has fallen, and there is a wall of reality blocking you, you have now lost this ability. , so it will be very troublesome to verify. After all, not everyone has their soul reborn like Lily, and then receives the infusion of the new true god." Hao Ren nodded to Lily beside him, causing the latter to look blank. Wagging his tail proudly, "That's why we need the help of a pure-blooded demon hunter to cooperate in the investigation."
"This is no problem," the elder Gregor said first. "Demon hunters have always been closed to the outside world, and their bloodline is maintained well. Pure-blooded demon hunters are everywhere in our area."
"If possible, it is best to be a first-generation demon hunter. The earlier the bloodline is, the better," Vivian reminded. "Pure blood alone is not enough. We must find the earliest demon hunter samples."
"This... is somewhat difficult. The Mythical War resulted in the death of a large number of demon hunters. The Battle of Corpus even led to the demise of all ancestral demon hunters, including the Twelve Saints. The first generation of bloodline... may really not be found. , even a veteran like me is not considered the first generation.”
"Then as early as possible," Vivian frowned, "What an evil, damn mythical war... Such an immortal species is stunned because the war killed a generation, what do you think you are trying to do."
Hasselblad and Gregorian could only laugh. This matter was too subtle and sensitive to say. Nowadays, in some alien circles and even demon hunter circles, everyone still tacitly avoids the topic and avoids it. Only a monster like Vivian, who has lived for more than 10,000 years, can just say a few words casually.
"Then there's another thing." Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Hao Ren quickly changed the subject, "As for the plan I mentioned before to organize a group to return home to visit relatives..."
Lily covered her head and sighed: "Why did the original good plan of asking the landlord to name it turn into this..."
Apparently the three demon hunters in front of him were also a little allergic to the name of the operation. The two older ones were quite mature and stable enough to handle it. Bai Huo turned his head away and couldn't bear to look at it. However, Hao Ren was the one who "swore allegiance" to her in the first place. " (although Hao Ren had almost forgotten about it), so she was too embarrassed to persuade Hao Ren to change his name, so she could only quickly drop the topic: "We are very interested."
"That's right," a rare smile appeared on Hasselblad's old-fashioned face, "My hometown... my hometown in another universe. Without tangible evidence, who would have thought that this kind of thing could be true. To be honest, I have imagined countless times what kind of place the 'dream plane' you mentioned is, and even though I have no memory of that place, I can't control my curiosity."
"There will definitely be many demon hunters interested in this journey." Elder Gregorian expressed his wishes more implicitly.
"But this is not just a sightseeing tour," Vivian reminded, "Well... although Hao Ren gave a misleading name, I believe you can understand the meaning behind it."
"Let us see the normal order among heterogeneous people without the influence of 'innate hostility'?" Gregorian is so mature, how could he not think of this, "And...another test?"
Hao Ren nodded slightly: "Yes. The Mythic War has ended, but the relationship between aliens and demon hunters is still tense. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hatred continues, but now there is the Shadow Council suppressing it, and Weiwei An is suppressed. With the pressure of reality and the pressure of human society, this kind of contradiction will not break out, but I know that the friction in private has never ended. Bloody deaths should happen every now and then - I don't expect this to continue. Nearly ten thousand years of hatred can be cleared away easily. This is too naive, but I think it would be good to do something to ease it. After all, no matter the alien or the demon hunter, both of you have ideas to improve the situation. . This time I will not only organize the demon hunters to return to the dream plane, but also call on some of the more enlightened heterogeneous leaders to participate. I believe that after seeing the scenery of my hometown, I will truly understand where I came from and why I developed into what I am. After today's appearance, you will all have some ideas."
He paused for a moment and continued: "As for the other test... your guess is correct. You already know about the Creation Goddess. In the Dream Plane, the remaining divine power after her death is still operating. It affects the operation of the universe in a way that I can't yet measure and understand. The priests of Horleta can still gain the ability to use divine magic through the 'stamping' ritual. Now I need to figure out what this residual power is. What's going on, and whether it will react to your 'return'."
The aliens on the earth were all sent here by the Creation Goddess using the "Ark of Time and Space" Yugudora Hill. Since the goddess has made this arrangement, she will definitely have backup plans. However, now that Vivian has lost her memory, The eldest son and the guardians were unable to help, and they were at an impasse in trying to find out the goddess's backhand. Hao Ren was unwilling to see things remain stagnant, so after careful consideration, he felt that he should take the initiative to do something What.
This time, organizing some aliens to return to the dream plane is a somewhat risky but very worthwhile operation. A small team of less than a hundred people will not have a too serious impact on the wall of reality, but it may stimulate the creation of the universe deep in the universe. Some settings left behind by the goddess - if they exist.
No matter what the backhand is, Hao Ren can only start to study it when it is revealed.
It's just that Gregorian and Hasselblad's knowledge of the inside story is limited after all. It would take a long time to explain to them the details of the Mad Lord, the Four Epochs, and the God-killing War, and it's not necessary. So Hao Ren just I briefly mentioned my thoughts without going into too much detail.
"Let the demon hunters and the alien leaders form a group to 'return home to visit relatives'..." Hasselblad's stiff face showed a suspicious smile. He shook his head and said in a helpless tone, "If you really exist, there is probably only one in this world. You would come up with such a crazy and bold idea. To be honest, I really can’t imagine what will happen that day. Have you considered the arrangements after our group of people meet? "
Hao Ren chuckled: "That's not easy. I'll pick out whoever stabs the head and beat him to death. If it doesn't work, knock him unconscious and tie him up with a chain. Put him in a glass jar and I'll transport him to the Dream Plane in a car. I guarantee that You just have to open your eyes and take a look around your hometown. I have all kinds of high-standard fairy ropes over there, and they are so strong that even Lily can’t hold them open when she transforms. I said I am organizing you to go back to your hometown to visit relatives, but don’t really think that I am I run a travel agency—our business doesn’t pay attention to user experience. Anyway, you don’t need money to believe in a sect, but you still expect humanitarianism.”
After Hao Ren finished speaking, Vivian also nodded emphasizingly: "Don't worry, I will follow suit. Although I am weak now, there should be few people on earth who can beat me. How about you? rest assured……"
Gregorian and Hasselblad broke into cold sweats after hearing this. They shook their heads vigorously when Vivian finished speaking. Gregorian was the first to express his position: "Don't worry, don't say anything else, we will definitely give the demon hunter an explanation." OK, promise to cooperate..."
They didn't know much about Hao Ren's violent methods, but everyone knew about Vivian's intimidating power, especially the early demon hunters. Who dared to say that they hadn't been beaten by Vivian several times? Order will be guaranteed at that station.
Thinking about it this way, the situation is similar on the alien side: when Vivian went crazy back then, even she was the master of it, and everyone who knew her should have been scared...
