726. Accept Fate
"call,"
Dutanity's cold face became more lively, she glanced at Gudos, and calmed down, "It seems that it is true... The belief in the original god seems to have existed in the foreign tribes since ancient times. The dragon tribe
Well, how much do you know about them?"
The empress changed the topic and asked a question abruptly.
"Don't know much."
Even so, it did not trouble this young purple-level priest.
Gudos turned his head and thought for a while and said: "The Dragon Clan is an ancient alien race that is hidden in the world. It is said that they live on the other side of the Dark Abyss, where there is the Snow Peak Mountains that are frozen all year round. Even the alien races rarely set foot in it. The number of the Dragon Clan is rare.
, generally speaking, they rarely care about worldly matters."
"What else? About their racial background."
"I can only say that they have always been very mysterious and reclusive. This race possesses many powers that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
It is said that these powers are obtained by believing in the original god, because some people once said that they are the ancient servants of the original god. There is very little information about them, very little, and most of them are lies heard from the mouths of crazy people. I guess
It’s hard to prove.”
"No wonder……"
Dutanity suddenly narrowed her eyes uneasily and fell into deep thought.
She recalled the scene when she met the three dragons of the White Messenger.
"Then...as you said, if the Dragon Clan really doesn't care about worldly affairs," the empress slowly walked towards the gorgeous pillars, suddenly turned around and stared at Gudos, "Why did she join forces with my empire this time and propose
What about this incomprehensible request?”
"What is your judgment?"
Hearing this, the priests began to whisper among themselves again.
It seems that the saying goes that when you are sick, you seek medical advice.
His Majesty was really troubled by this matter and actually put aside his distinguished status to ask a low-level priest for his opinion.
"Well..." Gudos lowered his head slightly. There seemed to be something complicated in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
This question sounds quite difficult, and a good answer will naturally impress His Majesty and everyone else.
But the answer is not good...
That's hard to say, and maybe even losing your head can't save your life.
Therefore, a large part of the people in the palace looked at the empress and Gudos with a feeling of gloating about the misfortune and not taking it too seriously, wanting to hear how this ignorant little priest should answer.
Sure enough, Dutanity's question immediately silenced Gudos for a long time.
Is this a test?
No, it won't. She really wants to know something.
Gudos seemed to feel that the eyes of everyone around him were focused on him. He lowered his head and touched his chin a few times with his palm, pretending to be deep in thought.
But in fact, he was snickering secretly in his heart.
Perhaps only he, of all the people present, knew that what was waiting for him was this kind of problem from the empress.
"His Majesty……"
Gudos finally raised his head, with a hint of subtle cunning in his eyes.
"I have studied some ancient records of the Kunting people. Those records were originally engraved on mudstone slabs. It is said that the information was obtained by adventurers from the dragon ruins somewhere in the Dark Continent. After being circulated several times, it was recorded by the people at that time.
.”
"Oh, what kind of record is it?" Dutanity asked.
"There are records about dragons and spiritism."
"Necromanticism? Hasn't necromancy declined long ago?"
Of course Dutannititi knows about spiritism, because she herself has studied spiritism.
This academic field is vast and profound, too complicated compared to alchemy, and is rumored to have a great impact on people's spirit. Therefore, it was replaced by many other schools in the early days of the empire, and there were fewer and fewer researchers.
Basically, only the old scholar warlocks at the palace antique level will study it.
The court sorcerers serve the royal family, so the emperors use necromancy to enhance their lifespan, hoping to be able to secure their position in the country. Due to this tradition, Dutannitidi learned it a long time ago.
I didn’t expect that dragons are also related to necromancy?
"No, that's not the case," Gudos shook his head, "As far as I know, it's not just psychics, it also involves the Dragon Clan possessing many ancient secret treasures and precious secret books. They used these secret treasures for experiments a long time ago.
, trying to use human spiritual beliefs to restore the body of the original god.
It can be said that their research on the subject of spiritism is very advanced."
Gudos paused for a moment and continued, "So, in later eras, the art of spiritualism will spread to the Quentin Empire and even the entire continent."
Dutanity narrowed her eyes and seemed to have thought of some connection.
"According to what you said, the Quentin Empire was the first to come into contact with the art of spiritualism."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Why are you so sure?"
"My family was once a royal family member of the Kunting Empire. Our ancestors have accumulated some things that are unknown to outsiders, Your Majesty."
"I see, then come and listen."
"Let's give some examples. For example, in order to study the art of necromancy, the high-level warlocks of the Kunting royal family once bought a secret method from outsiders with a lot of money. This secret method can make people enter a long-term sleep, and after waking up, it will have spanned thousands of years.
And the appearance remains unchanged, it is said that it comes from the dark continent."
"There are also more weird and powerful spells. It is said that people can gain the power of all things, move mountains and rocks, reclaim seas and land, and so on. I speculate that this is probably related to alien races, especially the dragon race."
"I have done a rough study of the written records on the mudstone tablets. Many of the symbols are unique to the dragon clan. There are probably thousands of them."
"So, psychics were first developed by the Dragon Clan?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gudos said calmly.
The secrets held by the dragon clan are far more than that. He also knows that many secret treasures have been lost to the Kara Empire and are in the empress's treasure house.
Because no one knows how to use them, these things have been sleeping in the treasure house.
Gudos is very ambitious, and of course he will not tell Dutannititi some things. He just wants to try his best to get all these things.
"Human spiritual power can inject power into the original god, and necromancy is the secret of the dragon clan... In this way..."
Dutanity suddenly looked solemn and murmured to herself, as if she had found some possibility.
She knew that the information provided by the young priest was important, and that the Dragon Clan had also spoken about the relationship between spirit, faith and soul.
"Well, this still needs to be verified. But as far as I know, not only the dragon tribe, but other alien races in the Dark Continent also have similar methods of mind control, but we humans don't know about it, Your Majesty."
Dutanity was surprised.
Pointing at him gently with her finger, she signaled Gudos to come forward and said, "Okay, having said all that, what do you think the purpose of the Dragon Clan is?"
Gudos stepped closer to the empress, lowered his head and stood under the pillar, with his hands hanging down.
"Your Majesty, I think it is very likely that the Dragon Clan's experiment to restore the vitality of the original god has reached a critical moment. For some reason, it is insufficient to obtain spiritual power, so it wants to use human faith to obtain that power."
