Chapter 22
Suddenly, a blinding light was released in the room. Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes, not knowing what was happening.
At the same time, the magician from the Tower Security Monitoring Bureau sat upright, staring at the two huge magic vortexes in the light ball.
No way, again?
The crisis of the Kingdom of Light was resolved just yesterday, what happened today?
The next second, the despairing magic monitoring results appeared, and it turned out that the Abyss Lord Beelzebub and the Abyss Lord Eliog were suspected to be fighting in the imperial city.
The magician of the Security Monitoring Bureau immediately became alert and notified the higher-ups.
The next second, the great magician Elinson rushed out, without even having time to put down the teacup in his hand, and immediately released the super magic [White Feather Great Wall] to strengthen the defense of the imperial city.
She knew that Eliog was in the Imperial City, but when did Beelzebub come to the Imperial City?
Elinson couldn't help but feel nervous, because unlike the Abyss Lords like Eliog, Inposs, and Moragos who were willing to make contracts with humans, Beelzebub was not only not pro-human, but was also a complete threat to humans.
On the other side, Eliog reacted in time and intercepted Beelzebub at the first moment, dragging this furious compatriot into the subspace domain with all his strength.
The stars are twinkling, and magical energy is flowing everywhere.
Beelzebub was so furious that green flames started burning at the ends of his hair, revealing his true nature. If Eliog had been a step later, he would have definitely rushed to the Magician's Association and would have easily burned down an entire city with his out-of-control magic power.
"What are you crazy about!"
Eliorg cursed.
"You're still asking me?"
Beelzebub released his magic power, causing the space to distort. He cursed, "Don't hide. I can smell my father's scent. You hid my father without telling me!"
Eliorg responded in kind, releasing his magic power to confront Beelzebub head-on. "You're mistaken. Imposs was doing a magic experiment, and my father wasn't there."
Beelzebub laughed, "Do you think I'm stupid? I knew you had some conspiracy behind your gathering. I never thought you would secretly find my father without telling me. You are thousands of years old. It's time for you to be independent. You are a bunch of stupid demons who never grow up! Childish."
Eliorg laughed even louder, "Have you grown up yet? Since you said you are independent, why do you still need to look for your father? It's almost time for you to be independent! Childish."
The quarrel between the Abyss Lords was actually about calling each other childish. If this quarrel were to be spread, I wonder how many people would be shocked.
Beelzebub was shaking with anger. He was usually very rational, but in this matter, his rationality was evaporating.
The two demons faced each other in the air, neither giving in, and they started fighting in an instant. The terrifying magic power burned the surrounding matter.
Before that, the other party.
Yin Bosi was not idle either. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the crystal ball exploding and releasing light, he quickly transferred his father back to the antique shop.
Then He appeared in the form of Matros, the father of modern magic, and stepped on the dissipated afterglow. He said to Xili and a group of stunned and bewildered noble magicians: "The talent of the gentleman just now is unprecedented. I can't wait to accept him as a disciple, so I took him away first."
W-What?!
Everyone's eyes widened and they recognized "Matros" almost at a glance, because it was too obvious. The person in the oil painting next door was him, exactly the same, without any difference.
Whether it was the sudden appearance of "Matros", the father of modern magic, or the content of these words, they all shocked the minds of everyone present.
Everyone was stuck.
Unprecedented talent? Can't wait to take him as a disciple?
The father of modern magic, Matros, who had lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, couldn't wait to show up and accept him as a disciple. How strong is this talent!
Countless people found it unbelievable, including the high-level magicians who had just arrived.
Xili beside her was also stunned.
But there was no doubt that it was Matros himself.
Because you see, the iconic white hair and blue eyes, the body-length sacred wooden staff, the unique supreme magic emblem in the world, as soon as he appeared, the magic power suppressed the whole audience, it was breathtaking and exciting.
Some people couldn't help but shout: "Great Master!"
What... Grand Master? Some people paused for a moment, then lost control of their expressions in shock.
That's right! The Grand Master, the mentor of the mentor is called the Grand Master! He is a scholar at the pinnacle of the magic field, and also a mentor who has trained countless mentors, a great man who is the cornerstone of magic civilization! The continent is so big, and throughout history, there are only two people who have this title, one is the brave Ye Qingyi, and the other is Matros!
They might never have the chance to see something in their lifetime, but they actually saw it today in such an unexpected place!
At this point, who cares what the light just now was about? Grand Master Matros is here. Is there anything more important than Grand Master Matros?
Some high-ranking magicians who had long heard of his name immediately flocked over to greet him or to make their acquaintance, while others could not wait to ask him questions about magic.
When Xili came to her senses, she found the room was crowded. There was no place to instruct young magicians, as it was occupied by a group of old guys. The young magicians were squeezed outside. Some of them doubted their lives, while others looked at the scene with great curiosity and admiration.
Everyone was excited. But... it seemed a little too excited.
Xili calmed down and felt that something was wrong. After the man named Xius touched the crystal ball, she clearly saw thick black fog suddenly appear in the crystal, and then the crystal ball cracked. At the same time, the sudden burst of magic power caused a strong light, which even affected their cognition, making them all stunned for more than three seconds.
Grand Master Matros said “unprecedented talent”, but can this sentence alone summarize Mr. Xius’s abnormality just now?
As Xili was deep in thought, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She looked up and saw Matros staring at her through the crowd. Time seemed to stand still, and no one noticed their gaze. Then, Matros gestured to her to keep quiet.
The meaning was too obvious, which was to tell her not to tell anyone else and not to think too much about it.
otherwise--
Xili broke out in a cold sweat and immediately realized that the man was definitely not just a new genius disciple to Matros, but a very important person. The disciple part was just a decoy.
She nodded stiffly, and the pressure finally subsided.
Because, Matros withdrew his gaze, time started to move again, the scene became noisy again, and the respected grand mentor turned his head and controlled the situation with a smile.
At the same time, the black angel disguised as Hades arrived at the scene a step late.
Everyone dispersed with regret, muttering that it was a pity that the Grand Master couldn't stay longer.
"By the way, who on earth is that person that the Grand Master takes so seriously?"
"I don't know, but I heard they are not from the Os Empire."
"Ah? Then who is he?"
"No matter who it is, someone that the Grand Master values so much will become a famous magician in the future."
When the black angel heard these words, he lowered his head in thought, then looked around and saw the remaining traces of magic in the room.
The other party's concealment was so good that ordinary gods could not discover it, but He was the God of the Underworld, and all dark and secret things were under His power.
He analyzed the magic power and deduced a specific magic - cognitive tampering, which controlled people's minds to a certain extent. But that was all, and even He could not trace back to the events before cognitive tampering.
What exactly happened here?
While he was still thinking, the great magician Alison also arrived at the scene.
Elinson immediately contacted the people at the scene to find out what happened, especially asking about Matros' whereabouts.
Everyone said they didn't know.
Elinson said regretfully, “Really?”
A magician said: "Grand Master Matros has accepted a new disciple, but he hopes that we will not disturb that disciple."
In fact, it was not hope, but a warning, a warning with murderous intent. Grand Master Matros's tone was extremely cold at the time. Anyone who dared to say no might be killed on the spot.
Xili next to her thought to herself.
With the protection of Grand Master Matros, who would dare to offend that young man?
Elinson heard the implication and felt even more regretful. She wanted to know who the young man that Grand Master Matros valued so much was, but since Grand Master Matros had said so, you couldn't disobey him as a magician.
After she understood the situation, she left first because she had important matters to attend to. Two Abyss Lords had fought in the subspace near the Empire. The aftermath might affect the world, so defenses had to be strengthened.
At the same time, the black angel watched everything. The flow of dark magic made him lose his presence in everyone's eyes. People walked by as if they didn't see him.
Humans fear the mysterious Grand Master Matros, but Hades is not.
He was very curious about who that young man was and why he carried that kind of existence and the aura of his archenemy, the God of Light.
The God of the Underworld lowered his eyes, and in less than a few seconds, he knew the name and specific information of the disciple accepted by Matros, especially his [temporary residence].
——Xilin Antique Shop.
The concept of light is immortal, the God of Light is immortal, and the destruction of the Kingdom of God is no big deal to them. The ranking of the Kingdom of Light as the seventh among the Kingdoms of God is a thing of the Age of Gods. Thousands of years have passed, and that ranking does not mean anything. Their Kingdom of Darkness is even ranked sixth.
But this time, something seemed to have changed.
It was an unprecedented, historic, and transformative change, not just the destruction of the kingdom of God.
He had to know what it was.
The God of the Underworld repeated the syllables "Xilin Antique Shop" in his mind, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Light and darkness, twin concepts, twin gods, He was also very curious. Now that He had revived, what was the current state of His nemesis, His twin concept god?
The other party.
The aftershocks in the warp continued, but the Imperial machine could not stop running because of this incident, and people were still doing their jobs.
The Imperial Military General Staff is still discussing the destruction of the Kingdom of Light and the motives of the Lord of the Abyss.
But after discussing it for a whole morning, they still had no clue. Instead, the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was too mysterious.
At this moment, a staff officer noticed that Fili had a dark face and was silent, so he asked: "Captain Fili, don't you have any ideas at all? Don't you always have a lot of assumptions?"
Before he finished speaking, a group of people looked at Fili.
Who is Fili? The youngest legion commander of this generation must be quite capable.
However, Fili sighed in his heart, glanced at the whole audience, and thought, should I tell you that this is because the archangel Achilles went crazy and drew someone to kill, but unfortunately he drew the Lord of the Abyss? Such an outrageous thing can be used to make up a story.
However, Fili thought about it and suddenly said, "Maybe it's because of the debuff caused by violating the rules of harmony."
"Debuff?"
Several staff officers looked puzzled at the same time.
As we all know, violating the rules of harmony will result in random debuffs of varying effects, some severe, some moderate, but no matter how severe, the debuffs will never directly lead to the destruction of a kingdom of God, otherwise the Goddess of Harmony would be able to directly rule the Age of Gods.
Fili said, "There is a debuff that might happen."
The staff officers asked in unison: "What debuff?"
Fili said seriously: "Unfortunate."
The staff officers: “…”
The staff officers said: "Captain Fili is also a joker."
Fili shook his head and sighed again.
-
Before that, the other party.
Moragos flapped his claws, repairing the space crack.
Xiusi was sent back to the antique shop by Inpos, but he still maintained the gesture of touching the crystal ball, with his head lowered as if in deep thought, but in fact he fell into the previous dream space again.
This time it is no longer a scene in the sky, but a specific scene.
That was a memory from a long time ago, of a few people discussing in low voices around a fire in a forest at night.
"Do we have to go to the abyss?"
"Yes, the Abyss is a relatively stable subspace, and leveling up will be faster. The gods on the mainland are fighting, and there are also divine rules that suppress us, which is not conducive to our leveling up. If we want to grow up safely, we have to find a way to avoid the eyes and ears of the gods."
"But the Abyss is also a subspace after all. What if it suddenly becomes unstable?"
This is what Wang Changer and Ye Qingyi are discussing.
Both of them looked heavy-hearted and were rather worried about venturing into the abyss.
Wang Chang'er is a Berserker, with strong explosive power and fast leveling. He reached level 50 in just a few months, setting a historical record at the time. But he is not a Berserker, but a very rational person. In reality, he is a graphic designer who just graduated. He has a calm personality and is mature in dealing with things. He has a lot in common with Hughes.
After a while, the scene fell into silence.
After a while, Justin, a healer, broke the silence, "I understand everyone's concerns, but don't worry, I'm here to protect you."
In fact, the healer is the one who should be protected the most. His defense is only 3 points higher than that of the weakest player on the field, Zeus.
After Justin finished speaking, everyone looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Wang Changer sighed.
Mingjie, who was a ranger, smiled and leaned against a tree playing with some leaves. "Don't be so serious. We have to go and see it anyway, right?"
Ye Qingyi said frankly: "I am somewhat interested in the monsters in the abyss. I want to know how they exist and how they are constructed."
Magicians love to delve into the truth. Ye Qingyi not only chose the magician profession in the game, so she has this kind of mind. She also loves to seek the truth and love to learn in real life. Among all the people present, she may be the only one who does not reject coming to the other world. Compared with the boring and irritating real world, which is full of mountains and difficult to move, the chaotic other world may be more suitable for realizing her ambitions.
At the end of the discussion, Xius, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up and said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look. It might be an opportunity."
Everyone looked at him at the same time, and the air fell silent.
In the firelight, Wang Chang'er smiled faintly, "Since even you said so."
Ye Qingyi said: "If Brother Xiu agrees, there is really no need to hesitate any longer."
Chen Lingxi, who was a tank heavy armor player, turned to look at Xius and said confidently, "Okay, Brother Xiu, you have to hide behind me when the time comes."
The brave must act together to save humanity from peril, the wise man said.
So, even though I was of no use at the time, I still had to follow everyone on adventures.
But that's not a bad thing, because being with the brave is much safer than being anywhere else.
The memory of the past was flickering, and Zeus almost forgot that night.
Come to think of it, that night was the last day they met.
The scenes of memories shattered like glass, and behind all the memories, there was a huge and boundless black sun.
It may not be accurate to say that it is black. It has no color itself, it just absorbs everything madly.
After an unknown amount of time, Zeus finally opened his eyes and found that he was no longer in the Magicians' Guild, but back in the antique shop, sitting at the front desk.
When I looked down, I found that the magic value on the panel had doubled.
why is that?
Hughes was confused and looked down, only to see two cats looking at him worriedly.
The green eyes of different colors are filled with a faint luster, weak, innocent and lovable.
Xius was stunned for a moment, "Did I walk back here by myself? Is the registration over?"
The gray cat walked forward and put its paw on Hughes' arm, as if saying something.
Xius was even more shocked. "I see. So I am missing a part of my memory? During that time, I was accepted as a disciple by the great Master Matros?"
The red cat paused and glared at the gray cat out of the corner of his eye.
Because Inbosi was telling lies all the time, no one knew he was so good at fooling people, but he actually made up a story, saying that he had touched the crystal ball and suffered some mental shock, and that everyone present had more or less memory loss.
Humph, stop flattering yourself! It was obvious that you didn't expect something like this to happen when you touched the crystal ball, and you got carried away and neglected it, which led to Beelzebub discovering it.
You said you would accept father as your disciple. Who are you? If you dare to take advantage of father, I will slap you down with one claw!
Moragos curled his lips and became even more panicked. Now, in order to cover up a lie, he made up a bigger lie. When his father knew the truth later, he would probably be devastated.
And in the final analysis, all of this was due to Eliorger's concealment.
Do you want to surrender to your father now and tell him that they are the abyss lords who have been fighting throughout history?
Morages was still hesitating, but when he looked up, he saw that Inbos had actually convinced his father, and his father actually believed it, with a flattered smile on his face.
"Talent? I didn't expect I had a talent for magic. The talent point value in the system is only 5."
"What? Grand Master Matros has an unusual vision and sees future potential? I see. I am ignorant, but it's not that exaggerated."
It was hard for Xiusi to believe that a great man he had never met before valued him so much. It didn't feel real.
"You said he had something important to do and would come to me when he has time, right? Well... okay, I really want to know if there is any misunderstanding."
Moragos saw his father and Imposs having a back-and-forth conversation, and hesitated to speak. He thought, is his father too easy to coax, or is it that his father trusts them too much and will not doubt anything they say and will believe whatever they say?
Thinking of this, Moragos felt guilty and couldn't imagine what would happen after his father knew the truth.
So let's forget about telling the truth for now. Moragos silently retracted his claws, and a few minutes later, he joined Imposs. He couldn't stand Imposs's boasting, so he started to talk nonsense, so that even Zeus was silent.
“It doesn’t seem that way, does it?”
Xiu Si reached out his hand and grabbed the red cat's restless paw. "I am very grateful that the Grand Master saw my talent, but I am also afraid that he has such high regard for me. I don't have much strength yet, but after all, my identity is somewhat special. I am an antique left over from the Age of Gods. Although I don't want to speculate about such a respected senior, what if? It doesn't matter to me, but I am worried about you."
As he spoke, he stroked the gray cat's back with his other hand.
The gray cat and the red cat looked at each other at the same time.
After all, my father is an adult. How could he not understand the principle of not getting up early without benefits? Even if I trust him, he will not be fooled so easily.
"Besides, that kind of person might really be able to see my 'specialness'."
Xius was a little worried about this, because not all people in the human camp were kind.
Just a few days after his resurrection, he had great expectations for humanity. However, after reading history books for a few days and experiencing several events, he saw many dark clouds under the sun.
The neighboring countries that turned a blind eye to the death of the Oss Empire, and the human alliance on the continent that stood idly by and took the opportunity to observe the strengths and weaknesses of the Kingdom of Light.
The human camp is filled with so many grievances and grudges that it is not a united whole, and it is difficult for it to be a united whole.
Moreover, this morning, on his way to the Magicians' Association, Zeus accidentally overheard some discussions.
According to intelligence released by the military investigation, the reason why the Oss Empire was targeted by the Kingdom of Light was actually due to the secret planning of Kissinson, the former King of the Gip Kingdom.
If it weren't for Kisinson, the Os Empire wouldn't have been suddenly targeted by the Kingdom of Light.
Why did Kissingsen do this? He was unwilling to be expelled and wanted to drag the Oss Empire into the water.
If the Kingdom of Light had not fallen, even the most powerful intelligence organizations would have found it difficult to find the connection.
Things in the world are so complicated and difficult to understand.
Thinking of this, Hughes looked left and right at the cat's eyes.
"Do you all understand? Although I hate to say this, humans also need to be careful."
The two cats raised their heads at the same time, blinked their big eyes, and nodded obediently as if they were very impressed.
As expected, they are siblings born in a similar order, with such a high synchronization rate. Upon closer inspection, the two cats look almost identical except for their color, except that the red cat is slightly larger and the gray cat is smaller.
"Well, you are very obedient, but..."
Hughes thought of the other two cubs and suddenly stood up.
Inbos didn't think much of it at first, but suddenly he remembered that Eliog had gone to fight with Beelzebub, and he quickly conjured up a black cat in the dormitory.
When Hughes went in, he saw that the black and white cats were both fast asleep. Fortunately, they were still there and not running around.
Xius turned around and checked the time. It was exactly 3:00 p.m. and there still seemed to be no customers in the antique shop.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded.
[CS-level alert, Abyss Lord Eliorg and Abyss Lord Beelzebub are fighting in the subspace near the Empire, causing slight space fluctuations. Residents please pay attention to road safety]
What is CS level? It means that the threat level starts at C level and reaches S level, which can destroy a country. The expression of C-level threat is at least street-level, but the alarm only mentions walking safety, which means that although the threat is great, there is no substantial harm for the time being.
However, when they heard the names of their compatriots announced throughout the city, Inbos and Morages both felt a pang in their hearts.
Hey, what's the difference between this and the school notifying parents that their children are fighting? Don't you consider the parents' blood pressure?
When Xius heard this, his expression was indeed a little subtle. He subconsciously looked into the dormitory, and after a long time he turned back and whispered to himself, "What a coincidence, Ellie is sleeping, how is it possible?"
It's really possible! The two cats looked at each other, wondering if the two could just fight quietly, at least away from the Oss Empire.
The next second, Zeus suddenly glanced at them.
The two cats straightened their backs at the same time and moved their eyes to the right in a highly synchronized manner.
This is undoubtedly a sign of guilty conscience.
But the filter of Xiusi’s biological father is too thick. After watching for a few seconds, I just thought it was cute and couldn’t help but say what was in my heart.
"I know you're not that kind of kid."
Both cats were sweating profusely.
I am really in a difficult situation now. I must not let my father find out, or the consequences will be disastrous!
And then, Hughes thought of the newborn baby.
Safety education must be taught from an early age.
-
At this time in the subspace, planets were shattered and boulders exploded.
The two huge beasts stared at each other, and the magic power they burst out was still increasing, which meant that they had to continue fighting.
But Eliog's eyes suddenly changed, as if he had received some news. His huge body inexplicably straightened up, and he restrained some of his fighting spirit and murderous aura.
Beelzebub stared at Him in confusion.
Eliorg suddenly said, "A temporary ceasefire."
Beelzebub frowned, and folded his huge bone wings, causing a cold wind to blow. He whispered, "Why should we stop fighting? Hand over my father first."
Eliog suddenly glared at Beelzebub and transformed into a human form, a young man in black with an extraordinary demeanor.
Beelzebub didn't understand what He was going to do. Turning into a human in the middle of a fight was like seeking death.
Eliorg said, "Rather than fighting with you, I have something to ask you first."
Beelzebub narrowed his eyes, flashing a cold light, perhaps knowing that he would not be able to see his father unless he dealt with Eliog, so he had to make some concessions.
He knew only too well the stubborn tempers of His people.
Beelzebub put up a fight, but calmed down.
He also transformed into a human form and said coldly: "What do you want to ask?"
Eliorg spoke in a serious tone, and said directly: "What happened on the day my father disappeared?"
Beelzebub's face darkened. "Didn't I tell you that? Why, now you don't believe me? Do you think I might hurt my father?"
In Eliog's eyes, Beelzebub was the last one to stay with his father, so he should know the most.
Eliorg stared at you, "I'm not doubting you. I remember everything you said at the time. What I'm asking you is whether your statement has changed since then."
What does this mean?
In fact, it is not that I suspect Beelzebub of lying.
At that time, they were still too weak and could not perceive or discover many things. What they saw at that time was not necessarily the real situation.
As the years passed, they all became stronger, their cognition improved, and their vision broadened. Looking at the same past with today's cognition and vision, they can definitely see more.
This is what Eliog meant when he asked.
Therefore, Beelzebub fell silent.
Two human figures confronted each other in the air.
After a long pause, Beelzebub said, "After I have spoken, let me see my father."
His tone changed slightly.
Eliog stared at Beelzebub.
He had a problem with this dark-tempered compatriot since he was a child. There were many reasons, for example, first, their names were all taken from the Key of Solomon, but Beelzebub was not, he was a name given by his father and did not belong to their series.
Second, Beelzebub was actually the seventh in birth order, but he was still unconscious and was the last one to awaken. In other words, he could not be said to be the seventh, nor the youngest. He did not know where he was ranked, so he simply did not have a ranking.
All these unique characteristics accumulated also became the reason why his father paid more attention to him.
Their other compatriots were very dissatisfied with Beelzebub. In addition, Beelzebub's temperament was also well known to be dark, and he could not get along with any of his compatriots, so they naturally did not want to get along well with Beelzebub.
Eliog stared at Beelzebub and saw the anxiety beneath his calm surface.
After thinking for a while in silence, Eliorg said, "Go ahead."
-
After a few minutes, the warp aftershocks gradually subsided.
Elinson breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the two Abyss Lords had finally stopped fighting.
The Abyss Lord's movements have become more and more frequent in recent days. What is the reason behind this?
She vaguely felt that there was a reason behind all these movements.
Or... an existence.
-
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Hades walked into an empty alley and finally stopped at the door of a quaint shop.
He stopped, why?
Because He saw it. Although this antique shop looked ordinary from the outside, if one sensed it carefully, there was more than one terrifying existence inside.
As this generation's God of the Underworld, he was resurrected more than a decade ago and is knowledgeable enough, but even so, he has never seen such a scene.
Several abyss behemoths big enough to crush the Oss Empire actually live together in such an inconspicuous little place.
They should have disliked each other and fought each other when they met, but they lived together inexplicably in harmony.
Why?
Because is there something there that can suppress them forcefully and force them to live in harmony?
The God of the Underworld was actually nervous and stood nearby hesitantly, but at the same time, He actually sensed the magic power of his enemy.
It's not residual magic, but "freshly baked" magic. In other words, his living enemy is in it.
I should be able to see what's going on inside the room through the glass on the door, but for some reason I can't.
I could faintly hear voices coming from inside, but I couldn't tell what they were saying and I couldn't hear clearly.
The God of the Underworld was a little confused, but he was the God of the Underworld after all, a terrifying existence who had once dominated the world and killed people all over the heavens. How could he hesitate just because of something he couldn't understand? Even though he was still young, he shouldn't have hesitated.
He took a deep breath, walked to the door, put his hand on the door handle, and pushed it open without any resistance.
Then, he, the great God of the Underworld, actually paused, his mind going blank due to the shock of the scene before him.
This, how is this possible!
