There are actually not that many nobles who can meet the emperor.
This was true even before the Emperor sat on the Golden Throne.
Not to mention, Rudelson's expression clearly showed that he wanted to seek the Emperor's help.
There are even fewer nobles who can get help from the emperor.
Louis was also very curious, what method did he use to convince the emperor? As time accelerated, the scene around him soon changed.
When the acceleration stopped, he saw the Emperor.
Rudelson raised his head and said:
"Emperor, I need help."
Louis looked at Old Deng sitting on the golden throne, looking expressionlessly at Rudelson below: "Reversing life and death is a taboo, and this is not my area of expertise."
Rudelson said, "Then please tell me where I can go to find the possibility of advancing the technological breakthrough of the Book of the Dead?"
The Emperor looked at him quietly and said:
"Give it up. For the sake of your ancestors, I will pretend I didn't hear it this time."
Rudelson knelt under the throne and did not speak for a long time.
Day and night rotate.
A day later, his face had turned pale, but he still didn't stand up.
As he was about to pass out, the Emperor sighed:
"In the shadow plane, there is a kingdom established by the followers of the Goddess of Darkness."
“Perhaps you can find answers there.”
"Rudelson, if you really embark on the desperate path of abusing the power of the dark night..."
The Emperor slowly stood up: "Then I will end this with my own hands."
Rudelson lowered his head and said, "Of course, your will."
Louis sighed.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the situation where Rudelson entered as recorded in the documents of the Shadow Kingdom.
As expected, time accelerated and the scene around him instantly jumped to the Kingdom of Shadows.
The Shadow Kingdom in the dream has not yet erupted in chaos.
Under the leadership of the Queen of Shadow Kingdom, at least from the appearance of the city, the city seems to be thriving.
Here Rudelson encountered members of the rebel faction.
His reasons for joining the rebel faction in the first place were less than brilliant.
Because he just wants to find out the secret of how the Shadow Country people can come back to life.
Considering his own considerable strength, the rebel faction chose to use some of their technology to win him over.
At this time, he still felt guilty for causing chaos.
But facing the impending death of Xilin, all of this was forced to compromise.
But later, he saw that the Shadow Queen executed the newborns who were not within the scope of the plan without hesitation, and the kind-hearted boy finally couldn't hold back his anger.
If it was a compromise at the beginning, then he took the initiative later.
The power of the necromancer is amplified in the Shadow Kingdom, where the population is limited.
In the absence of logistics, the Necromancer, who was able to transform enemies into friendly forces, quickly gained the upper hand in the confrontation between the two sides.
Especially since the Queen of Shadow Kingdom never showed up from beginning to end, the rebellion quickly spread like wildfire.
It wasn't long before their counterattack reached the temple.
In the temple, Louis saw the Queen of Shadow Kingdom who had turned into dry bones.
The rebels finally learned the truth about the Shadow Kingdom's secret population control.
While everyone was feeling extremely heartbroken, only Rudson noticed that on the statue in the Temple of Dark Night, there was the remnant soul of the queen, who was entangled by the Dark Night faith.
So he made a suggestion: "Instead of believing in the goddess of darkness, it is better to believe in our queen."
"Tear down the statue of the Dark Night! From today on, the Queen will be a god herself."
Everyone at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment, but they were indeed moved by what Rudelson said.
The statue of the goddess of darkness collapsed.
Where his original statue had stood, a statue of the queen was erected.
Relying on the technology of the undead in the Kingdom of Shadows, Rudelson pushed Andrew's "Book of the Dead" to an unprecedented level and began to move towards his own theoretical path.
He began to spend more and more time trying to break through the barrier of the Shadow Kingdom.
While breaking the barrier, he compiled his own "New Book of the Dead".
He had a hunch.
His skills are just missing the last step.
But he became more and more afraid.
He had stayed in the Kingdom of Shadows for too long, and he didn't know if he would be able to see the person he loved when he returned.
One day, he watched the former rebel leader choose to enter reincarnation, and he suddenly realized something.
“I realized what I was missing.”
He murmured, "The true meaning of necromancy is not to deny death, but to acknowledge the cycle of life and death."
That night, Rudelson comprehended the true meaning of magic in the Kingdom of Shadows and embarked on a legendary journey.
On the same day, the barrier of darkness could no longer stop him from seeing through the cycle of life and death. He turned his head to look at the Kingdom of Shadows for the last time, then strode into the depths of the fog.
He was going to meet the person he had been thinking about day and night.
Louis watched him stumble back to the City of Arts.
Looking at him, he saw the Pope of the Church of Love with a stinky face.
I saw the girl who was like a candle in the wind.
He hugged her tightly, like a thief holding a beautiful jade.
"Celin, you're going to be fine."
The necromancy that has always been known for its coldness and silence, glowed with warmth in Rudelson's hands.
A miracle happened at this moment.
Miss Xilin, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.
Bishop Tut shouted excitedly there, art and love both exist, and nothing is more pleasing to him than this scene.
But only Louis noticed that the expression on the face of the Pope of Love became extremely sad and angry.
Unconsciously, he began to panic.
If all this had ended happily, the tragedy of Ms. Xilin and her husband would not have been circulated in this era.
What happened? ...
[Location: City of Art, Beatrice’s Residence]
Qian suddenly burst in: "Your Highness, something seems to be wrong in the City of Art."
Beatrice held Louis' hand tightly.
"Louis, why don't you wake up?"
She held his hand tightly with both of hers.
The day before yesterday, Louis came to the room and accompanied her to sleep.
This was something that made her happy.
But the next day, when she got up from the bed, she wanted to wake him up from his sleep as she did before.
But strangely, Louis showed no signs of waking up.
She panicked.
Her magic eyes did not see anything wrong with Louis' body.
On the contrary, she could only see waves of power that she could not quite understand flowing into his body.
It was a power she had never seen before.
Until today, she saw this similar power again.
"film!"
A warrior slowly crawled out from the dark shadows: "Protect him well. Don't let him get hurt at any time."
The warrior who crawled out was the Lord of the Raven Guard.
He slowly lowered his head:
"That is also what your majesty meant."
Beatrice turned her gaze towards Akane.
"What happened at the Church of Love?"
Qian said quickly, "There's news from the church that the substitute for the dark side of the God of Love is coming to the world for unknown reasons."
“It is eating away at a force that the church cannot comprehend and is growing rapidly.”
Beatrice slowly raised her head: "I see, the problem with Louis is related to information swallowing?"
Information devouring, she had no idea what this thing was before.
The first time I heard of this concept was from Louis.
To be precise, this statement came from the Cangqing Mechanical Group.
At the former residence of Ms. Xilin, the Cangqing Mechanical Group ended the conspiracy of the dark side of the god of love to devour the Lord of Byron at the cost of the group's annihilation.
The battle from a higher level of information was something she could not understand for the time being.
She looked towards the twisted figure in the sky that was like a whirlpool, constantly drawing some kind of power from the surrounding areas of the city.
If what Qian said was accurate, that thing should be the substitute of the dark side.
From her magic eyes that could see through the essence of things, she saw that the power devoured by the monster was very similar to the power that continued to flow into Louis.
She naturally equated the two things.
"If I kill you, will he wake up?"
She put on armor and became the princess that Akane was most familiar with in the past.
She hadn't seen her like this in many years, ever since the border war ended.
"Xia, let's go, our war begins."
In the quiet morning with a light mist, Beatrice led an elite force and headed straight towards the Church of Love deep in the mist.
…
The other side.
Louis was still immersed in his dream.
Xilin stood up from the bed.
She never dreamed that there would be a day when her body would recover.
She hugged Rudelson tightly:
“Rude…”
"Yeah, I'm here."
"I miss you."
"Me too."
"I'm so scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"When I was unconscious, I had a dream. I dreamed that I lost you."
"..." Rudelson smiled brightly, "I'm with you now."
"Um!"
The girl wiped her tears, everything seemed so beautiful.
Everything seemed to be back on track.
If it weren't for the order from Pope Eros, asking her to stay in the City of Art temporarily and undergo a physical examination by the church, Celine might have returned to Byron long ago.
It holds the best memories of her and him.
Those were the happiest days of her life.
Rudelson also began to continue his own research.
But not long after he started his research, the Pope of Love, who had always been reluctant to see him, came to him.
"Rudelson, that's enough, please stop your research."
The Pope's eyes were filled with anger:
"The rewards God gave you were not meant for you to abuse like this."
Rudelson sighed, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
The Pope said sadly:
"You have proved your loyalty to love through your words and deeds, and thus received the blessing of my God."
"But why do you continue to dissect the power of God? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Rudelson said calmly:
"Your Holiness, the God of Love tells us that when we protect what we love, we become stronger."
"That is the great miracle of love, the grace of the god of love. If we can reproduce the miracle, even just a little bit, maybe we can save more tragedies."
The Pope said angrily: "Enough, you are blaspheming our God."
But Rudelson said: "No, this is not blasphemy. After I saved Silin, I was blessed by the god of love."
"That's a testament to the love between me and Celine."
"If the God of Love thinks I have blasphemed Him, He can always take back the blessing."
"My blessing has not disappeared, which means that the God of Love doesn't mind me exploring this power and using it to help others."
The Pope was indignant and incredulous.
But a thought still occurred to him: What if this is what God wants to see? He did not speak, but left in silence.
But it was clear that he acquiesced to Rudelson's continued research.
Of course, he also monitored Rudelson more strictly.
It was as if he was telling him with practical actions: "If you dare to use this power to do anything blasphemous, I will personally wield the butcher knife against you, even if you were once a man gifted by God."
Rudelson seemed to accept it all, and just continued his research while accompanying Xilin.
Time slowly speeds up.
During one of his studies, Rudelson suddenly fainted.
The first person to discover that he was in trouble was Xilin, who had not seen him come downstairs for dinner for a long time.
That night, Xilin stayed by his side and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
Xilin didn't believe it and quickly found Bishop Tut.
Bishop Tutt had a puzzled expression when treating his friend: "Rude, although Xilin is well now, you still need to be restrained and not overwork yourself."
Xilin had a question mark on her face.
Bishop Tut quietly pulled Rudelson over and whispered in his ear: "You've been feeling weak lately!"
Rudelson smiled but said nothing.
The research continued, but this time, Xilin began to stay by his side, quietly watching him carry out his research.
She was afraid of losing him.
So the girl took even better care of him.
But not long after, Rudelson fainted again.
This time he slept for 3 days before waking up.
Xilin burst into tears.
“I want to continue my research.”
Rudelson didn't even have time to comfort the girl before he plunged back into his research.
No matter how Xilin tried to stop it, it was useless.
The third time he fainted, he was in a coma for 8 days.
The fourth time he fainted, he was in a coma for 12 days.
Not long after waking up that day, Bishop Tut came to visit.
He asked Xilin to leave first because he had something to discuss with his best friend.
Rudelson hesitated, then agreed.
After the door closed, Tut's eyes turned red: "Why? Why didn't you tell me?"
"What?"
"The Pope told me that you didn't cure Miss Xilin at all. You just transferred her death to yourself."
Tut grabbed his hair in pain, "No, it shouldn't be like this."
"Oh God, why is fate so cruel that it insists on trampling the things we cherish into the dust?"
With a bang.
The door was pushed open.
Xilin threw herself on him in a daze: "This is fake, tell me, is it?"
Rudelson smiled calmly and said:
“Life and death are a cycle. If you want to reverse death, you must inject life into it. This is the legendary path I have embarked on.”
"Why? Why are you so cruel? It would be better for me to just die."
The girl burst into tears.
Rudelson gently wiped her tears:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I want to tell you about the results of my research on the gift of love."
“Can grace change tragedy?”
"Yes," he said with a smile, "I may have created a category of magic that has never existed before. I call it emotional magic."
Louis, who was watching this sad scene quietly, was shocked and said with horror:
"How is this possible!?"
Emotional magic, that is the core power of the dark side of the god of love!
Why was this magic created by Rudelson?
Wait, if that's the case, doesn't that mean...
