Chapter 1317 Philosopher's Stone
After getting confirmation from the wizard Nolando, Enzo's expression became more complicated.
As a wizard, no one would not know the Philosopher's Stone.
In ancient times, after the war between gods and demons, the conflict between human wizards and gods had reached an irreconcilable level, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Battle of Mount Heaven.
The ancestor of wizards, Osikas, fought against the three God Kings alone.
The war caused the collapse of Mount Heaven, two of the three God Kings died, and the only remaining God King of Light also fled to the universe and lost the dominance of the world of gods.
It can be said that the end of the Battle of Mount Heaven was dusk for the gods.
Everyone knows what happened afterwards. The wizard civilization gradually rose and embarked on a powerful path until it finally became a cosmic overlord.
After the Battle of Mount Heaven, the ancestor of wizards, Osikas, became the will of the world's rules.
Just before his physical body disappeared, he used his spirit as a chisel to leave behind pieces of Philosopher's Stone, which recorded the secrets about the essence of wizards.
Later, wizards regarded the Philosopher's Stone as a sacred object.
Every wizard dreams of visiting the Philosopher's Stone, including the five supreme wizards today, who have comprehended the secrets of the Philosopher's Stone before entering the current level.
It can be said that for wizards, the Philosopher's Stone is the key to the seventh level.
Now, a Philosopher's Stone is right in front of us.
"Why?"
Enzo raised his head and looked at the wizard Nolando opposite him, and said in a deep voice: "What does the Philosopher's Stone represent? Any wizard in this world knows it very well."
"Even if I have completed the expedition to the 567th level of the Abyss."
"However, such achievements may not be enough to get a Philosopher's Stone, right?"
Enzo is very self-aware of his own situation.
Even if he has completed the expedition to the 567th level of the Abyss, with this achievement, he may have a chance to go to the place where the Philosopher's Stone is stored to comprehend.
But getting a Philosopher's Stone is impossible.
Therefore, when Enzo saw the Philosopher's Stone in front of him, he was only briefly ecstatic, and soon calmed down. He knew that there was no free lunch in the world.
His own achievements were not enough to obtain this Philosopher's Stone.
And now, the Fire Supreme Brand gave this thing to him as a reward, so there must be a reason.
"Sir Enzo is indeed a smart man."
Across the street, Wizard Nolandu nodded slightly, and then waved his hand, and an invisible barrier was immediately formed, turning into a barrier that enveloped the two of them.
Enzo's heart moved, guessing that Wizard Nolandu might be about to say something serious.
Sure enough, Wizard Nolandu took a deep breath.
"Sir Enzo, have you heard of the Ancient Prison?"
Across the street, Nolandu looked serious and said a word that Enzo was unfamiliar with. He immediately used the search function of the chip to look for it.
However, Enzo's information database did not have any news about the Ancient Prison.
"What is that?"
Enzo's face showed a trace of doubt. As an endless wizard, he has been on the wizard journey for thousands of years, but he has never heard of the ancient prison.
"It's normal not to know."
Wizard Nolando shook his head, a trace of complexity appeared on his face, and sighed: "After all, Mr. Enzo is an endless wizard who rose in the third era."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know about the ancient prison."
"This should be considered a secret of the wizard world."
"The so-called ancient prison is a dimensional world opened up by the wizard world in ancient times, specifically for imprisoning those fallen wizards!"
Hearing Nolando's words, Enzo's face was thoughtful.
From the information expressed by the other party, the so-called ancient prison should be a prison specifically for imprisoning wizards. Many of those fallen wizards who made mistakes were imprisoned in it.
"Why lock them up?"
But soon, Enzo's face showed a trace of doubt. In his cognition, the Supreme Council's attitude towards fallen wizards has always been very harsh.
The vast majority of fallen wizards are killed directly after being caught.
Therefore, the existence of this ancient prison seems unnecessary.
"Ordinary fallen wizards do not need to be imprisoned in the ancient prison."
On the opposite side, wizard Nolandu nodded and said softly, "However, those wizards who have reached the immortal level cannot be killed easily."
"Although their behavior has betrayed the wizard civilization."
"But for the Supreme Council, any immortal wizard is a very precious treasure. Killing easily will only waste the resources of the wizard world."
"At the same time, those who violate the rules of the wizard world are also unforgivable."
"Therefore, in the Second Era, the Ancient Prison came into being. It was a prison opened up by the five supremes to detain immortal wizards!"
Enzo's face showed a thoughtful look.
After the description of wizard Nolandu, he understood the meaning of the Ancient Prison. It was a prison that was specially used to detain immortal wizards.
However, the existence of the Ancient Prison was very secretive.
In the wizarding world, only a few people knew about this, and Enzo had never heard of it. He only learned about the existence of the Ancient Prison now.
"Is the Philosopher's Stone related to the Ancient Prison?" Enzo asked.
"Actually, this time, Lord Brand, the Supreme of Fire, wanted to give Enzo a task."
Nolando nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "The Philosopher's Stone is an advance payment. As long as Enzo takes this task, there will be more rewards!"
"What mission?"
A trace of wariness appeared on Enzo's face.
Since the Flame Supreme Brand can be rewarded with a Philosopher's Stone, this mission must be very difficult and risky.
Enzo knew this.
There is never a free lunch in the world. If you want to gain benefits, you must pay a price. If Enzo wants to get the Philosopher's Stone, he must go through a lot of trouble.
"The Supreme Lord hopes that Sir Enzo can go to the ancient prison."
Wizard Nolando sensed Enzo's attitude and immediately stopped talking nonsense and said straight to the point, "The ancient prison is a place where immortal-level fallen wizards are imprisoned."
"There has been heavy security there for many years."
"However, some time ago, there was a riot in the ancient prison, and all the wizards responsible for guarding the ancient prison were killed by the prisoners."
"Today's ancient prison is no longer under control!"
Nolando's face was serious, and he was very solemn about the matter in the ancient prison.
"Out of control?"
A trace of surprise appeared on Enzo's face. As a prison for prisoners, the Ancient Prison was actually controlled by a group of prisoners. This was undoubtedly a mistake of the Supreme Council.
However, Enzo was very confused.
What happened that caused the ancient prison to lose control? And, since the ancient prison was out of control, why didn't the supreme wizards suppress it with thunderous means.
"Yes, the ancient prison is out of control."
Nolando sighed and said quietly, "I know what Enzo is thinking. The ancient prison is out of control, and the Supreme Wizards wanted to suppress it immediately."
"However, His Excellency Enzo should be very clear about the current situation."
"The wizarding civilization has experienced the betrayal of the fortress world and is about to go to war with the abyss world. Even the supreme wizards are going to the battlefield."
"Nowadays, I really don't have enough time to deal with the affairs of the ancient prison."
"What's more, there is another thing that worries the Supremes!"
As he spoke, Nolando looked hesitant, as if hesitating, wondering whether he should tell Enzo the secrets in the ancient prison.
"If you have something to do, just tell me."
Enzo looked calm and said calmly, "Since the Supreme Lord wants to send me to the ancient prison, then the most basic thing is to let me know the situation in the ancient prison, right?"
"You're right."
Wizard Nolandu nodded and said solemnly, "According to the news from the ancient prison, the reason why the previous riots occurred was probably because a supreme wizard was born in the ancient prison!"
After hearing Nolando's words, Enzo's pupils shrank.
"Sorcerer Supreme?"
A look of astonishment flashed through Enzo's eyes, and he couldn't help blurting out, "How is this possible? Since it is a prison, the resources in the ancient prison should be very scarce, right?"
"How is it possible that a supreme wizard will be born!"
In the wizarding world, the Supreme Being already belongs to the top existence.
Even on the surface of the wizarding civilization, there are only five supreme powerhouses. If a supreme being is born in the ancient prison, it is indeed difficult to evaluate.
Even the Supreme Council must reconsider its attitude towards the Ancient Prison because of this.
"It's really unimaginable."
Nolando sighed and said faintly, "But that's all. The Supreme Wizard was indeed born in the ancient prison, and there may be more than one."
Enzo looked stunned, once again shocked by the information.
"You don't know something."
On the opposite side, Nolando shook his head and said, "When the Five Supremes established the Ancient Prison, in order to ensure the stability of everything and open up space, they used a huge Philosopher's Stone as a suppression."
"It is precisely because of the Philosopher's Stone that the Ancient Prison can exist stably for two eras."
"However, no one expected that the fallen wizards in the ancient prison would riot collectively and forcibly seize the Philosopher's Stone, thus leading to the birth of the Supreme."
After listening to Nolando's story, Enzo fell into silence.
Understanding the Philosopher's Stone is indeed a way to advance to the seventh level, but Enzo did not expect that the Supreme Council would make such a mistake.
Is there any point in leaving a Philosopher's Stone in the Ancient Hell?
"In other words, this mission is to go to the ancient prison?"
Enzo shook his head. He didn't understand the thoughts of the Supreme Wizards, but what he wanted to know now was what his mission was.
At the same time, what can I get from this mission?
Judging from the information expressed by Nolando, this mission to the ancient prison was full of complexity and danger. However, Flame Supreme Brand made an offer that Enzo could not refuse.
That is the Philosopher's Stone.
For Enzo now, the biggest goal is to advance to the level of seventh-level life form, and the Philosopher's Stone is his opportunity.
I have to say that if the reward for this mission was the Philosopher's Stone, Enzo would really find it hard to refuse.
"According to the wishes of the Supreme Lord, I hope you will go to the Ancient Prison and seize the Philosopher's Stone!"
On the opposite side, Nolando said in a deep voice, "Although according to the information from the ancient prison, there is an endless wizard who understood the contents of the Philosopher's Stone and was promoted to the supreme realm."
"However, this has not yet been confirmed."
"And what you have to do is go to the ancient prison, investigate as much information as possible, and preferably regain the Philosopher's Stone and establish contact with the Supreme Wizard."
Hearing Nolando's words, Enzo frowned slightly.
"Establishing a connection with the Sorcerer Supreme?"
Enzo pondered for a moment and said, ": Does the Supreme Council plan to have this supreme wizard imprisoned?"
In the wizarding world, the Supreme is King!
The birth of any supreme wizard will change the development of wizard civilization, and the same is true today, although the supreme wizard in the ancient prison is a fallen person.
But if the other party is willing, there is still a chance to side with the wizard civilization.
The five supremes may be able to discuss this point.
However, Enzo didn't know whether the Supreme Wizard who was born in the ancient prison and had been imprisoned for endless years was still willing to become the pillar of the Wizard's side.
"No decision has been made yet."
Wizard Nolandu shook his head and whispered, "Since the news of the birth of the Supreme in the Ancient Prison came out, the five Supreme Wizards have also had some quarrels."
"Sir Brand, the Flame Supreme, is the new Supreme who supports Zhao'an."
"However, the Dark Lord seems to have different opinions."
"Both sides have their own opinions and no real decision has been made. Therefore, for this mission to the Ancient Prison, the Supreme Master hopes that you will focus on seizing the Philosopher's Stone."
"As for contact with the new Supreme Being, that can come second."
In place, a trace of thought appeared on Enzo's face.
"What is the name of the Supreme Wizard born in the ancient prison? How much information does he have?" Enzo asked.
"have no idea."
Nolando shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Currently, all information about the Supreme Wizard in the Ancient Prison is in a very vague state."
"The Supreme Council only inferred that a Supreme Being might be born in the ancient prison."
"But there is no way to tell what the specific situation is."
Seeing Nolando say this, Enzo's expression became even weirder.
"One more question."
After a while, Enzo spoke again and said, "Since the ancient prison has been rioting, why don't the fallen wizards trapped in it choose to break out?"
"If you continue to stay in the ancient prison, wouldn't you just sit there and wait for death?"
The Ancient Prison is a prison where wizards are imprisoned.
The fallen ones trapped in it have endured endless years of torture, and now that they have finally broken out of the situation, they must really want to escape from the ancient prison.
"Philosopher's Stone!"
Nolando nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "When the five supreme wizards established the ancient prison, they used the Philosopher's Stone as a medium!"
"As long as the Philosopher's Stone is not destroyed, the ancient prison cannot be broken."
"And the wizard inside naturally has no way to escape."
"As for destroying the Philosopher's Stone, it is even more difficult. At least, it is rumored that the Philosopher's Stone cannot be destroyed. Even the Supreme Wizards cannot do this." (End of Chapter)
