Chapter 454: Who Controls Fate (Part 2)
Chapter 454: Who controls fate (Part 2)
Neris and the Winged Skeleton immediately grabbed Salin's demon suit. The demon suit had armor leaves and spiked spikes, which seemed to have nothing to do with the magician. Neris and the Winged Skeleton's hands grabbed two spikes.
Salin held the key in his hand. Before he could do anything, he felt that his feet were empty and he had already fallen into the endless starry sky. There were no traces of the winged skeletons and Neris around him. Sara was shocked and had entered a huge room in a blink of an eye.
The starry sky just now seemed like an illusion.
Salin didn't understand what astrologer used to get himself up, but this feeling was similar to entering the teleportation array. It seems that no matter how different the skills are, some things are still common.
The layout of this room looks like a study room because there are many bookshelves. There are also a large number of books on the bookshelf. However, there is a huge desk next to the window, which is piled with a lot of ore.
The power of stars is extremely strong on these ores. Salin approached and checked the ores, but found no ore he knew.
However, under the ore pile, Salin found a ring. The material of the ring was translucent, and starlight appeared inside, as if there were billions of stars floating. After a little check of Salin's mental power, he could only know that this was a space equipment.
He does not lack space equipment, but space equipment is expensive after all, so Salin puts it on his fingers casually.
Salin did not immediately look for Neris and the Winged Skeleton. He could not fight against the power in the astrological building. Not to mention him, it seemed that the great masters and others dared not come here to act wildly.
He walked to the bookshelf, took off the books on it, and read them through the meaning, but found that the words in these books were the same as what he saw in the Juxing Needle, and were very similar to the ancient mels language, and they were all seemingly wrong, and Salin still couldn't understand the words on it.
The papers of these books were all star pattern paper. Salin only realized at this time that in ancient times, star pattern paper was indeed not a high-end thing. Salin thought about it, and regardless of whether he could understand all this, he would not be able to easily enter here next time. He simply put the books on the bookshelf and the ore on the table into the dimension stone. Salin found that even people of the Grand Master could not find the things in the dimension stone.
Salin made a thorough job, even bookshelf, table and chairs, and a lot of income dimensional stones. This place is different from the semi-plane. Even if you can still come, Salin cannot guarantee that he will be sent to this room.
After installing everything in the study, Salin then opened the door of the study. Outside the door was a larger room. In the room, an old man with white hair and beard looked at Salin with a smile.
Salin's perception did not notice anyone in this room at all. When he suddenly saw the old man appear, Salin subconsciously ignited an orange flame on his fingertips. His flame was transformed by elemental transformation, and his fingers bounced and flew towards the old man.
The old man stretched out his hand and waved it, and the orange flame fell into the old man's hands. The old man rubbed the flames in his hands, and the flames dispersed and turned into dozens of orange butterflies. The old man raised his hands, and dozens of butterflies condensed from the flames flew up, walked out of the crystal window, and disappeared into the sea water outside.
The old man's movements were very natural and simple, just like a teenager passing by the garden without doing anything.
Salin took a step back with a little embarrassed, and his hands drooped.
The old man was wearing a white robe. The robe looked silky, but it was more delicate and smooth. The patterns on it were the star map that Salin had seen the most recently.
The old man glanced at the ring on Salin's hand and asked with a smile: "Do you like my star ring?"
Salin was very embarrassed. He did not find anyone in the next room, so he plundered it. If the old man went to check next door, he would find that his things were pretended to be gone by Salin. It felt bad to be caught in person by the thief. Besides, Salin is a magician, not a thief.
"Little guy, what's your expression? Did you take away all the things in the next study? This is not good for the magicians. They are too greedy. They robbed everywhere, hey..."
"Rabbit everywhere?" Salin was confused by the old man's words. The magician followed the principle of equivalent exchange. Even when facing a farmer, he would not forcibly rob other people's things. When the teacher came to his door, he wanted to buy his own house with gold coins higher than ordinary price.
Back then, the teacher was a level 5 magician, and he was a beggar. Therefore, Salin always believed that magicians were very fair professionals.
"Isn't it? But it's not just a magician, but a magician is also urged by others. Those warriors, royal families, and foreign races don't want to conquer many planes. Why do you need to conquer? Of course it's for the benefit." The old man sighed.
Only then did Salin realize that the old man was talking about what happened back then. Speaking of which, the gods were greedy and humans were not very good. In the battle with the gods, the human army also flattened many planes, and I don’t know how many races perished as a result.
The magicians of that era were indeed robbing everywhere. The fairness of the magicians was in the transaction with humans. At least the magicians killed monsters and obtained the magic cores and did not abide by the principle of equivalent exchange.
Could a magician discuss with the Warcraft: Can you give me your magic core? I also need a piece of your skin, which can sell 400 gold coins. If you agree, I will repair a grave for you...
"Little mage, don't be embarrassed, actually I am the same. Only after dying can you understand that this kind of thing is meaningless. By the way, I am not a living person, but just a doll with a soul."
The old man smiled and said, and then Salin realized that although the old man had breathing and heartbeat, what was flowing under his skin was not blood, but the continuous power of stars. If the old man did not mention it, Salin would have thought that this was a human who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
"Old sir..."
"Little wizard, you don't need to know my name anymore. I have refined myself into a doll to survive this catastrophe. I really have no face to meet my companions back then. My name will never be known."
"What about your companions?"
"Most of them are dead. You have been to the Heroic Spirit Cemetery. They are all asleep there. Some have gone to other planes and are still fighting with gods. Some have gone to find higher planes and find ways to survive."
"What happened back then!" Salin could not deduce the details from the words of the old man and the souls, but he also heard that humans did not exterminate the gods, nor did they become existences that dominate the planes. The humans on the Meers continent even cut off their previous knowledge.
"At that time... the strong humans went too far and could no longer return to the main plane. They opened a higher level of world channel, and the gods retake the plane conquered by humans. For this reason, humans considered establishing large dynasties and concentrating their strength to fight with the gods."
"What's the result?"
"The result is that many races on the plane have been resentful because of the departure of the powerful humans and were massacred by gods. They were all loyal back then, but when they were facing a catastrophe, humans could no longer help them. Apart from a few powerful races, they also stood with humans, most of the remaining races chose to betray and became believers of the gods."
"This! Is it before the First Dynasty?" Salin immediately heard a different history from what he knew from the old man's words.
"The First Dynasty?"
"A dynasty that unified the continent may last for 10,000 to 20,000 years. It is said that the First dynasty once occupied a lot of planes when fighting with the gods, but now humans can no longer know the facts of that year."
"That's what happened later. It turned out that they unified the continent and established a dynasty?" The old man frowned, and the pores on his face were clearly visible, no difference from living people. Salin thought to himself, I don't know how many levels of such a doll would be. If he could become his own combat weapon...
The old man was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Little Master, do you want to take your destiny into your own hands?"
"You are an astrologer, I am a magician." Salin did not answer directly.
"The magician is too arrogant and thinks he can control his destiny, but he doesn't know that just having strength is not enough. What's more, the astrologer already knows what the supreme rules are. If you learn astrology, you can not only become a master of your destiny, but also become a unique strong man in the world."
"The Supreme Rule?" Salin smiled. As a magician, he was disdainful of everything called the Supreme. For a magician, the secret of the world will never be fully mastered for a day, and knowledge will never end. Salin believes that it is completely wrong for the old man to say that the magician is arrogant.
"At least for all planes in this world, it is the supreme rule, the twenty-fourth level rule." The old man didn't care about Salin's expression. Anyway, in their era, few people believed in such a thing.
"What do I need to pay?" Salin couldn't help but ask. The twenty-fourth level rules, at least in the knowledge system he knew, were indeed the highest rules.
"Give up magic and call me a pure astrologer."
"Never." Salin flatly refused.
"The little mage, the power of magic, is not much different from astrology."
"There is a difference. When I was about to starve to death, it was the teacher who helped me. Even if I died, I would not give up my identity as a mage. I am really sorry, I feel like I am in control of my own destiny, and my destiny is magic."
"How can you control your own destiny without supreme power?"
"According to your opinion, in the end, only one person can control his own destiny, and the others are all like ants, right?"
The old man was silent. Salin's problem only exists in the theory, but he could not refute it at all. Because once he refuted it, it would be equivalent to saying that if he did not master the supreme rules, he could also control his own destiny.
