Chapter 1368 Creator and Created
To be honest, Lorissa's description is quite lacking in reference - a huge and twisted consciousness, and only some glimpses observed when passing by its edge. If you throw these descriptions to a novelist, at least it can give you a toss. There are thousands of explanations, and Hao Ren certainly doesn't intend to figure out what the Elf Queen's clone saw back then from these godly words. He only needs to be sure of one thing: the person who came to this place ten thousand years ago. The "goddess oracle" on this planet is 100% false.
Because he has crucial witnesses: Mulu, Remendusa, and Eve. These parties who have personally experienced the God-killing War can testify that the goddess of creation has never given such a weird oracle, and even those few The guardian's testimony is unreliable. Hao Ren can also rule out the possibility of the goddess of creation giving an oracle based on his understanding of the true god: there is no need for the true god to interfere with the evolution of mortal civilization in this way, because it is unnecessary and harmful. And based on the level of development of Horleta's magical civilization at that time, it was definitely not at a level that would attract the attention of the Goddess of Creation.
"Do you think that 'consciousness' is related to the Lord of Madness?" Vivian glanced at Hao Ren and asked in a low voice.
"The Lord of Madness has no 'consciousness', but it's hard to say what it extends. We have already seen a Rock Marton, and no one can tell whether there will be another infected one lurking in the depths of this universe. Extraordinary creatures. For the Magic Empire back then, they were still unable to distinguish the subtle differences between those extraordinary powers. As long as the pretender gets one or two items from the Goddess of Creation, the Magic Emperors will definitely be fooled."
"The question is, what's the point of this scam?" Lily had seen enough of the scenery outside, and joined the conversation at this time, "It's such a big fanfare, and there's even a forged oracle colluding with traitors, just to deceive those gangs. How many years does the Magic Emperor spend? Although the demon hunters they created are very powerful and touch the edge of the field of 'divine power', they are still not good enough compared to the level of the God-killing War."
Lily's question was what Hao Ren had thought of before. He frowned and instinctively felt that the truth of the scam that year had actually been revealed - under the fog, the scam itself had actually transcended those biochemical experiments and the accompanying... The 'Demon Hunter' born from the experiment, "creating perfect life" is probably just the tip of the iceberg of the entire Bureau. The real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is far more grand than that.
And it is most likely related to an unsolved mystery in the God-killing War.
"Who taught you the runes you arranged in the central laboratory?" Vivian suddenly asked, "Have any third-party forces contacted you?"
"No," Lorissa shook her head, "those runes are the knowledge that came with the oracle."
"Ouch? The runes were taught to you by the 'Creation Goddess'?" Lily's eyes widened and she jumped up, "Do you know what those runes are for?"
Hao Ren held down Lily who was a little too excited - her excitement was definitely not out of indignation, but probably because she wanted to find a chance to howl. After all, large dogs are prohibited from barking when entering the royal area - and whispered: " That rune was created by the God-killing race to fight against the Goddess of Creation, but those God-killers should not be able to simulate the oracles of the Goddess of Creation. This requires not only combat power, but also theological knowledge. According to my experience with those As far as the God Killers are concerned, their ability to decipher divine power should not have reached this level yet.”
Lorissa was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until a few minutes later that she sighed quietly: "What a big lie. The proud Magic Empire has been led by the nose like this for so many years."
"I thought you would be more angry," Vivian curled her lips, "Looking at your appearance now, you don't look like a 'Magic Emperor' at all."
"I'm not originally...well, occasionally I do get a little confused when those memories 'attack', but most of the time I still know who I am," Lorissa said with a half-smile, "and I'm angry and angry. What's the use - ten thousand years have passed, and I still have to think carefully about where I should go. Who has the time to compete with those ancients who have lost all their ashes?"
The carriage shook slightly, and the wheels had passed over the famous red rock road in front of the Royal District. Through the occasionally exposed window, Hao Ren saw that the majestic outer wall of the palace had appeared not far away, and gradually moved towards The carriage came over them: they were passing through the gates of King Moroun, and the old king had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Hao Ren asked.
"The first step is to understand this era, and then find a way to survive - this shouldn't be difficult. After that, I may try to find the countries established by the descendants of elves. Although the Kingdom of Horleta 'It's also a place where multiple races coexist, but I think it would be more convenient for elves to live together with elves." Lorissa said calmly, with neither expectation nor panic in her tone, as if she was really just planning a story. Like a short trip.
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Ah, that's a good plan, but first you should consider how to negotiate with His Majesty the King inside later - he doesn't necessarily want people like you to become an uncontrollable factor."
Lorissa's eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh? You mean... the human king here plans to 'keep' me?"
"Perhaps you won't force you to stay directly, but I think His Majesty the King definitely doesn't want you to walk out like that and get out of his sight," Hao Ren smiled, "It should be the same in the Elf Kingdom: as far as I know You know, elves are far from a race of saints who are pure-hearted and have no desires."
Although Lorissa was not the real magic emperor back then, she was still a smart person, so she quickly understood what Hao Ren meant and showed a thoughtful expression.
"A 'Magic Emperor' from ancient times," Vivian also said beside her, "This is too impactful for any country on this planet. It is probably difficult for you to understand that you magic emperors today What kind of reputation and influence does Horleta have? For most people, you are equated with disaster. His Majesty the King may not think so, but he needs to think more about it. The stability of his own kingdom, a man who possesses ancient knowledge, is so powerful that he transcends the realm of mortals, and more importantly, is the supreme ruler of the last era. When such a figure suddenly appears in his kingdom, I think any normal king will feel it. disturbed."
Lorissa frowned: "Ignorance."
"But it's human nature," Hao Ren spread his hands, "You no longer belong to this era, but you have returned in this era."
"Then what's your suggestion?" Lorissa looked at Hao Ren.
"It's very simple, just emphasize that you are just a clone," Hao Ren said casually, "You are just a clone, with the same name as Elf Queen Lolisa, but other than that you are just an ordinary elf, Sleeping As an ordinary elf of ten thousand years, you have no knowledge of ancient times and no experience as a magic emperor. You participated in the experiment back then and then slept until now because of the experimental accident. Other than that, what else? Don’t say anything extra.”
"Is this okay? Will he believe it?" Lorissa was a little confused, "Any ruler is suspicious..."
"Of course he doesn't believe it, but that's not necessarily the case if a few of us say the same thing," Hao Ren pointed at himself with a smile, "We are professionals in this field, and we have already helped Holleta resist once." "Ancient Disaster', we have the most say on issues left over from ancient times."
He still had something to say in his heart: Moron had seen the spectacular scene of the Irem excavator brigade drilling holes on the planet. Compared with a magic emperor who suddenly appeared and whose authenticity was unknown, Hao Ren was obviously more powerful. The guys who are still going around and bombing need more "stability"...
Lorissa nodded thoughtfully and had no other comments.
At this moment, they had entered the palace.
The old king was still as Hao Ren remembered, or in other words - he looked older and more tired. It seemed that the work of rebuilding the kingdom after solving the "sore of the planet" and the guardian crisis was quite heavy, which made His Majesty the King greatly satisfied. Spent energy. Faced with an "ancient magic emperor" who came from ancient times and was full of doubts and unknowns, His Majesty the King did not hold an overly grand reception ceremony. Instead, he only summoned a few cronies and church leaders to participate in the meeting.
Among them were the female marshal Ofra and the new pope who took over as pope after the previous pope was martyred, as well as several ministers whose names Hao Ren could no longer remember.
The development of the matter was as Hao Ren expected: Moron was indeed extremely wary of such an "ancient magic emperor" who suddenly appeared. Although his attitude was very tactful, he could still feel it despite having expected it in advance. come out. However, this vigilance was greatly relieved after Hao Ren and his party explained Lolisa's situation.
Just a clone.
On the contrary, Ofra showed special attention to Lorissa.
The female marshal looked at Lorissa curiously from beginning to end, and after the meeting was over, she stayed here specifically.
"You were the one who created the ancient species?" Ofra asked straight to the point.
"Ancient species?" Lolisa had obviously never heard of this name.
"It's the 'perfect creature' you're studying," Hao Ren explained. "It's called a demon hunter over there, and it's called an ancient species here. The one in front of you is an ancient species. Logically speaking, She is the descendant of those 'perfect creatures' you studied back then."
"So that's it," Lorissa nodded and looked at Ofra quietly, "What do you want to say to me?"
Ofra frowned slightly and looked at Lorissa for a while, then suddenly shook her head: "Forget it, I had a lot to say before, but now I feel it's not necessary. Anyway, I actually had the opportunity to see our family 's creator... isn't too bad."
She just said these words and left.
After there was no one else around, Lorissa asked in a low voice: "Did she want to kill me just now?"
Hao Ren coughed twice: "Ahem... That shouldn't be the case. But to be honest, your behavior in managing children and not raising children was indeed quite unethical."
"...What can we do? No one thought that the end of the world would suddenly happen before."
Hao Ren thought for a while and felt speechless: "..."
