Chapter 819: Master of Amber

——Was the Ziggurat moved to the Hellasr Empire a thousand years ago?

Aleister fell into deep thought.

When Aiwas was in the Theocracy, he studied elven history for a period of time.

The elves of the Theocracy mainly use two calendars, namely the current lunar calendar and the past amber calendar.

The former is the time when Hengwo ascended to the Pillar God, and the latter is the time when Amber was born.

After all, both Hengwo and Amber have completely changed the situation in the world.

Aleister knew nothing of the era before Amber's birth, yet Hengwo's birth directly led to the extinction of Warcraft. Many traditions dedicated to fighting Warcraft were lost, and races like the Lizardmen, who coexisted with Warcraft, quickly declined. The era of survival ended, and an era of conflict filled with desires began.

——The era belonging to mankind is gradually approaching.

Before that, Horus was founded by harpies and a small number of lizardmen, the ancient Parthian Empire belonged to lizardmen and a small number of harpies and snakemen, and the Taichu Empire in the far east was once the territory of dragons and snakemen. The main races of the Herasil Empire were harpies, dwarves, and a small number of goblins.

However, after Hengwo became a god, they gradually became human territory.

Humans have no concept of the amber calendar, they only use the lunar calendar.

The year 6174 of the Amber Calendar was the day Hengwo ascended to the Pillar God. This was also the first year of the lunar calendar.

It was almost two hundred years after the birth of humanity that the elves realized that the Eternal One had completely changed this era, and thus activated the lunar calendar. After that, the two calendars ran in parallel until the lunar calendar reached a thousand years old, when the Amber calendar was completely discontinued.

It is now the year 1899. The Ziggurat was moved into the core territory of the Herasil Empire a thousand years ago. That was around the year 899.

Up to this point, the Helasar Empire had been around for exactly five hundred years.

“…something doesn’t seem right.”

Aleister frowned slightly. "So, the Winged Principal had already found Lingbo Tiansi's spine three hundred years after the Empire was born? But it took another two hundred years before they moved into the Empire... What happened in between?"

Suddenly, Albert realized something.

He asked with some doubt, "Are you saying... that the Spirit Tower was once a mage school founded by the birdmen?"

"Well, those birdmen are natural spellcasters. Of all the ancient races, those winged ancients were the most proficient in various spells... It can be said that the vast majority of modern spells were passed down from them."

Adolf nodded. "Their talent for spellcasting is far greater than humans'. Harpies don't need a staff, nor do they need to learn the principles of spells; they can cast spells instinctively. In the time it takes humans to learn a single spell, harpies can even roughly master a system..."

"So... where are they now?"

Aurora whispered, "Have they left the Ziggurat?"

Adolf glanced meaningfully at the three young-looking men.

"No," he said in a cold and heartless voice, "our ancestors have always been with us."

He said, looking up.

Aleister subconsciously raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

The next moment, she opened her eyes wide.

——I saw a large number of skulls hanging above the chandelier on the ceiling!

A dim flame flickered in each skull, looking down at them silently.

"Necromancers have a bad reputation. While this is a prejudice... it's not groundless. Our ancestors did commit unforgivable crimes..."

Dark Adolf said slowly: “This is the original sin.

"Humanity, once a newly emerged race, was merely an 'assistant teacher' at the Ziggurat, a test subject for the birdmen's research into the emerging art of necromancy. It wasn't until the first 'nameless' principal, gradually transitioning from assistant teacher to student, and then from student to mentor, that they nurtured a faction of their own... and ultimately, with the assistance of the Amber Celestial Master, seized the entire Ziggurat.

"All the birdmen were slaughtered... To prevent them from ascending en masse and retaliating against humanity, 'Nameless' imprisoned their souls within skulls and preserved them here. Because this was an act of master-killing and massacre, he left no name for posterity to remember. His own skull is also among them, a false atonement... and also a form of torture for himself.

"It was indeed from that time that humans fully mastered the magical inheritance of the Spirit Tower. From another perspective, it was also from that time that humans ceased to exist as experimental material for the bird people.

"Compared to the Spirit Tower, all branches of the former Tower of Truth have been completely lost, and only revived through archaeological excavations. Only our lineage is naturally complete. Because of this, we are the sole heirs of the Tower of Truth. That's why I say that, in a sense, we come from four thousand years ago.

“But from another perspective, the ziggurat belonging to humans began thousands of years ago.

"Because we stole the Avian heritage, the Avian still regard the necromancers from the Ziggurat as their enemies. The Horus still claim that they will one day take back their heritage... even though they are not actually those Avian.

"It's a thousand-year-old oath of hatred—each generation of headmasters believed that one day there would be an explanation. The tradition of temporarily abandoning one's name upon becoming 'headmaster' also began back then."

Adolf glanced at the shocked Albert and Aurora, as well as the thoughtful Aleister, and sighed, "There's no written record of what happened back then, so it's impossible to explain it clearly through word of mouth alone. At this point, there's no need to worry too much... Since we're human, we can only live as humans."

"But there are probably some people who can't accept this fact, right?"

Aleister suddenly said, "For example... Master Chongbo?"

Adolf was not surprised that Aleister mentioned this name.

After all, he was the only person in the world who mastered the art of non-destructive resurrection. Before the resurrection medicine was reinvented, people who wanted to resurrect others could only ask Master Chongbo for help.

"Well, Master Dürer might have left the Spirit Tower for this very reason... because he didn't want to bear the responsibility of this thousand-year-old resentment."

Adolf, obviously also knowing the principal's friend, quickly replied, "Otherwise... perhaps the 'Principal' wouldn't be the teacher, but Master Chongbo. Yes, right here."

"After all, he is the strongest preserver in the world..."

As Aleister spoke, he walked up to little Fernando, who had been solidified into a stone statue, and frowned slightly.

It was different from what she expected.

She already knew that this was the guy who was burned to death by the Flame Butterfly during the promotion ceremony.

However, now this is no longer an injury left by the fire... but a soul-shattering injury caused by the curse.

This level of soul damage could only be cured by Aiwass himself. Ultimately, Aiwass's liquid soul would likely be used to repair it...

Aleister subconsciously touched the liquid soul in his pocket and frowned slightly.

She can cure it, but...

Seeing Aleister's troubled expression, Adolf sighed without surprise: "If we can't find the former Pope who is traveling outside, I'm afraid we will have to ask Master Chongbo for help.

"If Fernando Jr.'s problem is truly difficult to resolve... I think it would be safer to turn to him for help."

"Where is Master Chongbo?"

Aleister breathed a sigh of relief and asked quickly.

She still didn't want to use the bottle of liquid soul... but she also didn't want to take it back after agreeing to it. Not to mention, this was indeed the person Aiwass had killed in the past.

Although Aiwass himself didn't care...Aleister didn't want anyone to resent Aiwass for this reason.

"Master, it seems he's looking for relics from the Amber Age."

After all, little Fernando was Adolf's most beloved student, and Adolf was quite concerned. "From what I know, the master is currently planning to explore the remains of a birdman. They should be related to the remains of the Tower of Truth. He's currently anonymously recruiting archaeologists as an investor... The money was borrowed from me. If you hadn't come, I was planning to recommend Aurora to go and ask about it."

“If you know any archaeologists, you can introduce them to us and give it a try.

"If everything goes well, maybe I can run into him this way!"

Update completed! A little late, sorry——

Then I recommend a book written by a fellow book friend, the author next door, "Achievement System: I Became a God in the Extraordinary World"

Introduction:

"My name is Li Xiang. After I became a god, they called me the Evil God."

"Why?"

"Because I feed the poor."
