Chapter 368: Heroic Spirits in Ancient Times
"This is the Tomb of Forgotten. The gateway links nearly thirty-six space nodes in Britania. If you want to come to find me in the future, just enter the Tomb of Forgotten through these space nodes to find me."
Kuro used the staff in his hand as a crutch and led everyone behind him to move forward in this Forgotten Tomb.
Mark, Emilia and Artoria all looked at the huge and magnificent underground palace with amazement.
"I didn't expect there was such a huge place underground in Hogwarts." Mark sighed. He didn't find anything when he came to the mysterious island. "These..."
He looked around. Such a huge underground maze was enough to describe it as "chaotic". Various things piled up in mountains could be seen everywhere on both sides. "Are these magic props?"
"That's right," Kuro said as he walked forward, "So don't move around. Some magic props have relatively dangerous magic effects. Before, a parent of a student didn't know how to eat an apple with solidification and transform into a woman..."
...
"Ah!" Watson's father of the landmark yawned fiercely, and a chill gradually rose from the tailbone.
"What's wrong, Old Watson." Leon asked, opposite the chess board.
"It's okay, maybe it's the weather is cold." Watson's father wiped the snot on his nose and said, "Suddenly I feel like I'm hanging on the execution platform and being whipped crazy. I won't go down, so you can find someone else."
"Hey, why don't you stop?" Leon shouted anxiously, "I'm almost winning, don't cheat!"
Hearing this, Watson's father ran faster.
Anna, who was chatting with Mrs. Watson on one side, twitched her lips, "You can tell at this glance that the winning or losing game can be played for so long. These two people... are really equal."
...
"The Hogwarts' heritage is amazing," said Mark.
"These are not Hogwarts things," Cullow said.
Everyone was stunned, a little confused about the meaning.
"Do you know why this place is called the Forgotten Tomb?" said Kuro.
Everyone shook their heads.
"The grave of the Forgotten?" Artoria said with some uncertainty.
"No, it should not be such a shallow explanation. There should be a deeper level." Mark said thoughtfully, "Whether the Forgotten refers to the monsters in the abyss, and the graves represent their burial place."
"The Tomb of Forgotten represents not only this place, but the entire Blue Star! It represents the determination and will of the magicians to make this world a burial place for monsters in the abyss!" Mark became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes became brighter and his blood was boiling.
"This is also our determination," said Emilia.
Ah this...
Kuro looked at Mark who was trapped in his own emotions speechlessly, and finally couldn't help but speak, "We certainly have the confidence to protect the world again, but we are not blindly confident."
Mark's face stuttered, "Isn't that what I mean?"
"This name is to commemorate some people, and it is also a warning." Kuro looked up at forty-five degrees with deep eyes, "because the buried in this Forgotten Tomb was all dead in the last battle of the abyss, my best friend and comrade-in-arms."
"What?"
Mark and Emilia's pupils shrank slightly. Looking at the underground maze that was the size of several football fields, looking at these chaotic magic props, I felt my hair standing upside down.
"Everything here is their legacy," Kuro said.
"Are all these...?" Emilia covered her mouth incredibly, "In that battle more than 10,000 years ago, so many magicians died?"
"There are also some non-magics, and in fact there are far more than this. Some died too hasty and did not have time to make a will, or to protect the world, lonely and unknown deaths in a corner of the world."
Kuro looked at these things as if he had brought a scene into a certain scene, with a little sadness in his calm eyes.
"They fight for the world and for mankind, but they are not known to the world. The only thing that represents their existence is these magic props." Emilia whispered lightly, "Is this what the Tomb of Forgotten means..."
Although it is not as inspiring as Mark said, it makes people feel awe-inspiring while being awe-inspiring.
Emilia murmured softly, "It is precisely because of their death that we have brought us a thousand years of stability for human civilization. They are real heroes."
"Master Riddo, can they be summoned as heroes?" Mark asked with concern as he looked at these "relics".
Kuro shook his head, "The so-called heroic spirits are based on the existence and shining souls in human history. But the human history of ancient civilizations has been broken, and now humans have long forgotten them, and their names have gradually disappeared in the temple of heroic spirits."
"What a cruelty." Emilia sighed, "The glory and epic of the heroes should be remembered by everyone. They died for mankind and died for glory, but in the end humans forget their glory and erase the continuation of their lives..."
"Master Kuro!" Emilya looked at him with a firm look, "Can you tell me the stories of these heroes that such epics should not be forgotten in the dust and buried in the corner of the library.
Their spirit is more important than actual strength. Only by inheriting their spirit can humans be invincible when facing the abyss!”
Although it has the power to suppress it, making it more convenient for Chara to manage the world, humans' awareness and understanding of mystery also represent the upper limit of strength that will be exerted by more powerful beings in the future.
"That's a very large number," Kuro said with a flash of light, "but I can introduce you to some special existence first."
He pointed to a rusty pheasant knife (a counterfeit made by Chara) that was inserted into the ground not far away. "The knife was "Cong Yunche", one of the "Twelve Workers of the Supreme Great Quick Knife". "His owner's name is Edward Newgate, known as "White Beard", the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
During his lifetime, he was one of the "Four Emperors" in the New World, the overlord who ruled the sea, and was known as "the strongest man on the sea."
"Pirate?" Emilia raised her eyebrows.
When "Whitebeest" was young, when pirates had no interest in treasures, he once said that his biggest dream was to get a "family". For him, the pirates were not a plundering sea thief, but a existence that sailed freely with his own sea family on the sea." Kuro said.
"That's not a pirate." Mark muttered.
"He is also one of the few people in this world who ruled the abyss and seas, and his power also comes from the abyss."
"Rule the sea of the abyss!" Mark widened his eyes, "Have the ancestors of the past actually entered the abyss directly?"
"Ten thousand years ago, the abyss was far from what it is now. At that time, because of its special location, the world often collided with us, just like the world of Elda.
At that time, the collision point of the abyss happened to be on the sea. At that time, the pirates on the sea called it the "New World", and the road to the New World was also called the "Great Navigation Road".
It is said that as long as you pass the great sailing road and enter a new world, wealth, status and strength will be at your fingertips. Countless people continue to enter that world, but few people can truly obtain these, and the great sailing road has accumulated countless bones and souls of adventurers."
"But Whitebeard succeeded, and he got it all." Mark said, recalling what Curlow just said, "and he also became the "Four Emperors" of the New World."
"The Four Emperors refer to the four emperors on the sea, right?" asked Artoria.
"Yes, besides Whitebeard, there are three other people who are the same as him." Kuro said, "but when the power of the abyss gradually erodes and their ambitions are exposed to the world, these four emperors have also become the first target of the attacks of the indigenous people in the new world.
They started the first battle between Blue Star and the Abyss, and it was also an extremely strong barrier between Blue Star and the Abyss.”
"But they failed," Mark said.
"Yes... no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot escape the erosion of time. They do not have the power of immortality like us. The old and weak four emperors are eventually broken through by the abyss..."
Then, Kuro pointed to the rusty Taidao on the other side, which was inserted into the ground, "And the owner of the knife was named Yamamoto Kinyuki Yamamoto. He was once the strongest Onmyoji on the mainland of the East Kingdom, and he also died in the siege of the abyss because of Lao Ancestor."
"There is that," Kuro pointed to the ribbon inlaid on one side in the photo frame. "Its owner is Mebis, the strongest magician guild at that time, one of the founders of the "Fairy Tail" union, the president of the first union, known as the "Fairy Military Advisor", with a cute appearance, a kind heart, an extremely smart mind and an ability that cannot be underestimated by itself, creating the "Fairy Law", "Fairy Glory", "Fairy Ball" and "Three super magics.
He was also one of the first people to be cursed by God at that time to be cursed for immortality.”
"Since you are immortal, how can you die?" Emilia asked curiously.
"This is also what we are investigating." Kuro said, "Okay, all this may be a few days and nights. Let's wait until the invasion of the abyss is over. Let's discuss the matter now..."
As he said that, Kuro led them into the huge library under the roots of the tree of life on the top floor, and came to his own desk. Kuro sat in the office chair and watched them.
"You all know why I brought you here, right?"
Emilia and Mark nodded, "The key to humans defeating the abyss."
Kuro smiled and took out an exquisite box from the drawer with relief carved on it. Kuro unbuttoned the runes on the box, and a ring was exposed in front of everyone...
