Chapter 310 Fragments of Civilization

Byrne has read nearly a thousand books on occultism, and can probably guess the purpose of the "Time Stone".

If you want to save a dead soul trapped by a curse or similar supernatural power, you often need to find a living person to replace it through a ritual.

Scapegoat!

If they really believed the other party's words easily and performed the ritual casually, they might have become the scapegoat of the "Time Stone".

The voice of the "Time Stone" was full of doubts, and there was some hesitation in his tone.

"Transaction? Hehe, why should I believe you?"

Byrne was silent for a while, and then said calmly:

"Because you have no choice... and 'Time Stone', didn't you recognize my voice?"

When Byrne learned from his daughter Lillian that the other party was the "Time Stone", he knew that he had definitely been exposed.

Since the "Time Stone" is a wandering ghost monitoring this place, after years of getting along, it is impossible for him not to recognize his own voice.

"Mithril, what a coincidence."

"In fact, I still doubt whether it is you. After all, the voice may just be similar. I really didn't expect that you are already an old man who is about to die... Oh, yes, it has been so many years. It seems that I am not very sensitive to time."

Sure enough, he has recognized my voice, but he is not sure.

Byrne took a deep breath. Sometimes it is easier to negotiate openly.

"Time Stone, you should be able to trust me. Of course, I will not do the ritual you mentioned, but I can find someone to do it. According to my guess, the person who does the ritual will most likely replace you as a prisoner, right?"

There is a cold smile in the old man's voice.

"Hehehe...You guessed correctly. The greedy are destined to become new prisoners, and I will get a new life and freedom."

"Mithril, to be honest, your proposal is very attractive to me, but I can't believe you casually. Let's establish a covenant. Empty promises are really hard to trust."

Byrne nodded at the words of the Time Stone.

"You're right."

He also felt that establishing an "oath" was the safest way, but the time to establish an "oath" was not now.

Byrne planned to continue asking, exploring how to establish an "oath" to be more beneficial to himself.

"Time Stone, what state are you in? Can you explain it to me?"

The old man fell into deep silence.

"..."

Byrne immediately asked: "I hope you can understand, 'Time Stone'. If you don't explain your situation clearly, it will be difficult for me to rest assured to establish an oath with you."

Finally, the voice of "Time Stone" came again, as if it came from the distant past with the wind.

"I don't belong to your era. Thousands of years ago, I came to the vicinity because of a battle in a storm. I came here to avoid the pursuit of Emperor Alfred..."

Byrne frowned and couldn't help responding: "Emperor Alfred? Are you talking about the founding monarch of the Lorne people, the man who was called the 'Father of Lorne' in history?"

"Time Stone" did not refute at all, and his tone was full of emotion.

"It is indeed him, but at that time in my life, Alfred was still a young man. I could never have imagined that he would achieve such success in the future..."

Byrne was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that his spiritual power was boiling further.

He was a little surprised, and then he suddenly realized.

So that's it, the "Time Stone" is simply a living collection of ancient relics and ancient knowledge. It's really my luck to meet him!

"Unfortunately, after hiding here, I was attracted by a gold coin... and when I picked up the gold coin, my blood that had not yet dried came into contact with it, and in the end I became a trapped undead!"

The old man finally became impatient and shouted loudly:

"Quick! Help me get rid of it, or find someone to replace me!"

His old voice spread to every corner around him, and everyone was slightly stunned. Then Lillian immediately said: "It's him! The voice that tempted me!"

Byrne nodded slightly and continued: "Then what are you willing to pay?"

The old man's voice was full of impatience, anger, and madness: "Didn't you say you wanted to know the situation here? I am willing to tell you all the information here! Hurry up and establish the oath, Mithril!"

Byrne smiled and shook his head, and continued:

"I want more than that. You have no choice but to be trapped here for thousands of years, so don't blame me..."

The impatient "Time Stone" suddenly fell silent.

"You are really greedy, but I don't think there is any problem. Okay, Mithril, what else do you want!"

Byrne said firmly:

"I want you to serve the Fisher family for a hundred years after you are freed!"

Soon everyone heard crazy and furious voices.

"Hahahahahahaha! Greedy, crazy, Mithril of the Fisher family! You are simply an evil demon with no bottom line! I have been imprisoned for thousands of years, and I am almost crazy for freedom. How can I endure any restraints again! You want me to tear you apart!"

Byrne didn't think the other party had any room to resist, so he just continued to speak objectively.

"Then you can wait a few thousand more years, and we all know that the establishment of the 'oath' needs to follow the principle of 'relative equality,' so you can also make some demands of your own."

"snort!"

After snorting coldly, "Time Condensation Stone"'s voice finally calmed down.

"Well, I really have no choice. Mithril of the Fisher family, I agree to these requests of yours, and I will tell you now what is hidden here, as well as various things about this ancient city. "

"But after getting out of trouble, during the hundred years that I have served your family, you must also fulfill one of my wishes. Of course, the wish to be realized will never go against the interests of your family, and it is also within your ability. How about it?"

Byrne thought about it and felt that the transaction conditions were pretty good. If the other party didn't ask for anything, maybe the "oath" wouldn't be established smoothly.

"Okay, I agree. Then, let's establish an 'oath'."

He continued: "I will help the Time Stone escape from here, and at the same time, in the next hundred years, I will fulfill his wish that does not harm the interests of the Fisher family and is within my ability."

The voice of the "Time Stone" also came out: "I will serve the Fisher family for a hundred years, and I will loyally devote my knowledge and strength to the Fisher family."

Two points of light blue light suddenly appeared in the air, and then merged together.

The oath has been signed.

The spiritual power is boiling!

Byrne was secretly delighted. Sure enough, the soul of the "Time Stone" himself was a valuable "item" in ancient times, and he could also be counted as part of the promotion ceremony!

"Okay, tell me where the gold coins that bind you are."

Following the guidance of the "Time Stone", Byrne and others soon found the gold coin that had bound the "Time Stone" for thousands of years.

It was a bright gold coin stained with bright red blood. Although it had existed for an unknown number of years, the blood on this gold coin still maintained sufficient activity.

Byrne took a deep breath. This gold coin was undoubtedly a huge trap!

He could feel that it contained powerful magic power, as if it were the top alchemy tool, but it was probably just a disguise to lure the extraordinary.

The spiritual power was boiling again, and he knew that the black stone slab, the soul of the "Time Stone", and this blood-stained gold coin, three ancient objects of great value, were now complete.

The sound of the time-condensing stone came from the gold coins.

"I have already forgotten my name."

"I used to be a spellcaster wandering around the continent of Oden, but once I was hired by someone to join forces with many people to fight against Alfred. As a result, almost all the participants in the siege were wiped out, and I eventually fell into this. "

"At that time, he and I were both extraordinary beings who were subordinate to the monarch. Those who besieged him were also extraordinary beings at the monarch level. But the power that that young man possessed made me feel very scared. He was not an ordinary monarch at all. The terrifying power that a low-level transcendent can possess..."

"He later stepped into the Apocalypse as a matter of course and created what can be called the great Lorne Empire."

That was history that everyone was familiar with. Byrne realized that it had no effect on the promotion ceremony, so he said calmly: "Everyone knows those things, why not tell us something we don't know?"

There was silence in the gold coin for a moment, and then the subtle sound of the Time Stone came again.

"Hehe, as far as I know, that Alfred... is probably still alive!"

Byrne was shocked and couldn't help but said:

"What, you mean he is still alive? Although I know that the lifespan of Apocalypse strong men is more than a thousand years, the Emperor Alfred recorded in the history books has long since passed away due to the curse of the evil god!"

The old man's tone was very firm.

"I once released the power of a forbidden strange object on him. One of the effects is to sense his position, and the duration is permanent... However, so far, I have often felt his position changing!"

Just when Byrne was shocked, the members of the Fisher family present suddenly heard the voice of the Lost Lord deep in their hearts!

【I feel it】

[Right in front of you, that is something that contains the power of civilization! 】

They were all shocked, and then looked forward.

In a transparent bottle.

Carl did notice.

Just a few hundred meters ahead, there was the long-silent...

Fragments of civilization!

It turns out that it is that thing that is attracting me. It is strange that it has no spiritual power at all, but it gives me a very important feeling.
