Chapter 155 Who is the Master of the Horcrux
"Horcrux!" Shu Li gasped and asked in disbelief, "Isn't making a Horcrux a dark magic?"
Or is it black magic that goes against ethics and morality!
In the past few years, I have been studying dark magic with the Elf King, and have gained a deep understanding of black magic. I have discovered that some of its methods are simply inhumane and extremely terrifying.
The God of Time and Space made his soul into three Horcruxes, and the process must have been extremely painful.
For a prophecy, he was so cruel to himself?
Terrible, respectable and awesome.
As for the functions of the three Horcruxes, they are obvious.
The God of Time and Space wants someone to use three Horcruxes to change the past and the future.
But who is this chosen person?
"When magic first emerged, there was no distinction between white and black magic. If performed with good intentions, black magic could also save lives." The Elf King returned the elf to the pond and considerately replaced the cooled water in the small wooden basin. "After the Mother Goddess Isif created the world, laws naturally took shape. Everything must follow a single direction, and no one can change it."
Shu Li sat in the warm water and nodded.
He had heard Kagami say something similar.
No one, not even the gods or the Elf King, can alter or violate the laws of nature. If change is absolutely necessary, there are only two options: summon someone outside the rules, or pay a heavy price, turn back time, and start all over again.
The Elf King picked up the bath towel that the goblin was holding on his head, soaked it in warm water, wrung it slightly, folded it into a small square, and put it back on his head.
Being taken care of in every possible way, Shu Li squinted her eyes comfortably like a kitten, and her wings behind her swayed gently.
"To break the rules and change the future, the gods devised every possible means. The God of Time divided his soul into three Horcruxes, and the God of Light created me." The Elf King's deep voice echoed in the empty palace. "The God of Wood planted the Mother Tree, and combined with the power of the God of Light, he created my people. This is the origin of the elves."
Shu Li's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked excitedly, "So you are the master of the Horcrux chosen by the God of Time and Space?"
No wonder the Elf King played an important role in the War of the Gods. In order to resist the God of Darkness, he tirelessly persuaded other races on the continent to join the camp of light.
"I once thought it was me, too." The Elf King raised his head, his deep green eyes gazing at the intricate carvings on the palace's ceiling, as if lost in a memory. "I descended upon the continent on behalf of the God of Light, conveying the divine will to all the races. I taught them magic, swordsmanship, music, etiquette, language... If I knew anything and they were willing to learn, I would teach them everything I knew. The human race, among them, had immense potential, a keen learner, able to draw inferences from one instance to another, and quickly developed its own philosophy. Ten thousand years ago, humanity's number of Sages and Gods of Magic was innumerable."
Shu Li listened so much that she forgot to close her mouth.
No wonder magic spells must be recited in Elvish. It turns out that magic was originally taught by the Elf King to various races on the continent.
How selfless and noble!
Before the War of the Gods, human beings had many saints and gods of law everywhere, which showed that they had benefited a lot.
After the War of the Gods, the Elf King sealed off the Fairy Forest and refused to communicate with the outside world. How much backstabbing did he suffer to become so disheartened?
Shu Li's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and she felt that the Elf King's sacrifice was not worth it.
The Elf King lowered his head, met the indignant goblin's gaze, and continued, "The gods saw the human race grow stronger, so they bestowed upon them five magic swords: Carlos, Itno, Boshug, Viona, and Alas. Each magic sword has the power to seal darkness. If the five swords were united, they could seal the God of Darkness."
"Wow!" Shu Li couldn't help but exclaim.
By bestowing such a powerful magic sword on humans, it can be seen that the gods had high hopes for the human race at that time.
"The five strongest humans made a contract with the Demon Sword, and the descendants who inherited their bloodline would become the next Contracted Ones of the Demon Sword," the Elf King said. "But unfortunately, after the War of the Gods, three of the Demon Swords were lost."
Shu Li smacked his lips. "Where are the other two?"
It’s such a pity that three such important swords were lost!
Can I get it back now?
The Elf King frowned and said, "One is in the Dalia Empire, and the other is in the Pedam Kingdom."
Shu Li was stunned.
Wait, the names of these two countries sound so familiar!
Five years ago, he and Ilio left the Fairy Forest to find the Queen of the Dalia Empire to lift the curse. On the way, they met a wanted princess and swordsman from the country of Pedam.
The Queen of the Dalia Empire and the Queen of the Pedam Kingdom are sisters, both princesses of the Snow Kingdom.
Could it be that the owners of the two magic swords are from the Snow Country?
Shu Li raised his question, and the Elf King nodded. "Indeed, the heirs of the Swords of Eternor and Boshug are both in the Snow Kingdom. As time passed, the magic swords remained without a master for thousands of years. They were considered decorative swords by the Snow Kingdom's royal family and taken to the Kingdom of Pedam and the Dalia Empire as dowries for the princesses."
"Are you kidding me?" Shu Li said in disbelief. "That's a magic sword bestowed by the gods! If it doesn't recognize its master, there must be no suitable heir!"
Originally, the owner of the magic sword was the strongest human being. Perhaps his descendants were weaker than the previous generation, which is why they were not recognized by the magic sword. But for this reason, we cannot let the magic bestowed by the gods become a dowry for the princess, right?
It not only insults the magic sword, but also disrespects the gods.
The Elf King said calmly, "Human lifespans are short. The War of the Gods ten thousand years ago is too far away for them. They would rather focus on their immediate interests than inherit the will of their ancestors."
Shu Li scratched his ears and roughly understood what the Elf King meant.
When he was still human, even a thousand years ago, let alone ten thousand, seemed far away. Times changed, dynasties came and went, and swords passed down through the ages were merely antiques stored in museums. As for the promises made a thousand years ago, they were at most just legends to be recounted with relish.
The royal family of the Snow Country probably has the same idea.
The dark forces have not appeared for thousands of years, and the magic sword has lost its function. Isn't it just an old decoration?
However, the elves and goblins are immortals who have lived from ancient times to the present, experienced wars, always remembered their missions, adhered to their beliefs, and have always followed the will of the gods, guarding against the return of the god of darkness.
Shu Li learned from the mother tree a long time ago that the God of Darkness had not changed his evil ways and was still ready to make a move even in the sealed hell. The contamination of her branches was the best proof of this.
Although the elves and fairies live a comfortable life, they practice hard every day and carefully cultivate the next generation, so that they will have the strength to fight against the darkness when it comes again one day in the future.
On the other hand, humans have become a mess, magic has declined, there are very few magic saints, and only today a magic god appeared.
This god of magic is also the eldest disciple of the Elf King. He grew up in the Elf Kingdom, read ancient books, and understood history. This is why he has a very high level of awareness and strives to revitalize the magic cause of mankind.
After Shu Li went to the human world, he felt that Danlov had a long way to go.
But then again, why did he feel that the Elf King was getting further and further away?
"King, you have done such great things and successfully sealed the God of Darkness. Why do you think you are not the master of the Horcrux chosen by the God of Time and Space?" he asked in confusion.
"Because the Horcrux didn't recognize me as its master." The Elf King smiled faintly. "The God of Light created me and the elves. Everything is within the rules. Everything is proceeding according to the prophecy of the God of Time and Space. The War of the Gods is not the end, but the beginning."
Shu Li took off the dried bath towel from her head and opened her tender green eyes wide.
Such a brutal battle has just begun?
Now that all the gods have returned to heaven and cut off the passage to the lower world, how can the Elf King resist the powerful God of Darkness alone?
Shu Li was very worried.
What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that the Elf King worked so hard to do so many things, but in the end he was not the master of the Horcrux.
If the War of the Gods has begun, then the Dark Ages predicted by the God of Time and Space has not yet officially arrived.
"Has the real owner of the Horcrux appeared?" Shu Li wiped the small flower crown in her hand with a bath towel.
The Elf King looked at the goblin in the wooden basin with gentle eyes.
Shu Li paused in wiping, looked up in confusion, and met the Elf King's gaze.
For a long moment, he tapped his nose with his finger in disbelief and asked uncertainly, "Me?"
The Elf King smiled softly. "Yes."
If the person in front of him was not the Elf King, Shu Li would have thought that he was joking.
He was just a tiny, tiny goblin, but he was the master of the Horcrux chosen by the God of Time and Space.
etc--
His soul comes from another world. From childhood to adulthood, he often travels through time and space back to the past and meets the Elf King. Could it be... that he is affected by the Horcrux?
No wonder the God of Fire said that he did not have the ability to travel through time, and the reason he was able to travel through time was because he was affected by the Horcrux.
But he didn't remember obtaining a Horcrux!
Shu Li put the small flower crown back on her head, flapped her wings, flew into the air, and circled in front of the Elf King. "King, I don't have any Horcruxes."
He was now wearing a short robe that exposed his arms and legs, with no extra decorations except for the small flower crown on his head and the storage ring on his finger.
The Elf King looked at the wet little elf and pointed at the small flower crown on his head.
"Huh?" Shu Li held the small flower crown on her head, dumbfounded. "Isn't this... a symbol of your blessing?"
He clearly remembered that he had just woken up from the flower bed, and the Elf King's finger gently touched his forehead, and a small flower crown inlaid with emeralds appeared on his head.
This small crown will grow bigger as he grows older and occupy his head firmly. He will take it off when he goes to sleep at night, and it will naturally return to his head when he wakes up the next day, causing him considerable trouble.
However, after learning that the small flower crown has the function of summoning the Elf King, he cherishes it very much.
"Horcruxes will choose their own masters. The only thing I can do is send them to their masters." The Elf King's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice, "Sperian, you are the master of the Horcruxes predicted by the God of Time and Space, and the only savior who can change the future."
Shu Li swallowed, feeling a huge pressure suddenly as the Elf King looked at him so seriously.
Although he considered himself a hero, he had little idea of defeating the "Demon King." Now, suddenly becoming the savior predicted by the God of Time and Space, he felt like he was dreaming, it was too unbelievable.
"But... I don't know what changes I can make?" Shu Li asked blankly.
"Everything you do now is changing the future." The Elf King whispered, looking at the goblin intently.
When Shu Li was looked at by him, a hot current surged in her heart, which instantly became turbulent. Her eyes were bright and full of confidence.
Receiving the Elf King's affirmation further strengthened his determination to become a brave man.
"Why did you hide it from me before?" Shu Li asked in confusion.
The Elf King reached out and gently touched his wet hair. He said softly, "You are too young. You should grow up healthily and happily like other little fairies, instead of facing a heavy future from the moment you are born."
Shu Li was stunned.
The king... was so gentle to him!
He couldn't help but rub his head against the Elf King's fingers, his eyes moist.
As expected, Wang had not deliberately deceived him, but had endured so much pressure just to make him grow up happily. If he had not met the God of Fire, he would not have known that Wang had done so many things for him.
What was his merit? Was it just because he was the chosen master of the Horcrux?
In fact, the Elf King is the real savior. Without him, there would be no goblins, and without the goblins, he would not be able to become Sperian.
Shu Li took off the small flower crown on her head and asked, "King, is the small flower crown the Horcrux Pawood?"
Pawood can interfere with the past. Was he influenced by it and traveled through time and space back to the past to meet the Elf King and the God of Fire?
The Elf King smiled and said, "All three Horcruxes are inside. You can think of it as a container."
Shu Li was shocked. "Isn't that the same as a storage ring?"
The Elf King shook his head slightly. "Unlike a storage ring, it can only hold Horcruxes and soul-related items."
soul?
Shu Li asked seriously, "King, you still haven't answered why you bound your soul to mine?"
The Elf King lowered his eyes and said, "To protect you."
Shu Li clenched the small flower crown in her hand and whispered, "I know I'm still very weak and can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so I've always relied on you for protection. But... you used your soul power to protect me, and it took a huge toll on yourself."
Whenever the power of the soul is involved, the body will be harmed.
Even the God of Time and Space had to sacrifice himself to give up three Horcruxes, let alone the Elf King?
Ten years ago, he was nearly killed by the dark elves and summoned the Elf King for the first time. At that time, the Elf King told him that anyone he blessed would have three chances to ask him for help.
Looking back now, the Elf King used a clever word - asking for help.
Asking for help and calling are two completely different concepts.
At that time, he didn't know much about magic, and the Elf King's true form fell from the sky, so he was cleverly fooled.
Yesterday was different.
In the time tunnel he traveled back through, he bumped into a scary guy. The small flower crown triggered the summoning function, and what was summoned was the soul of the Elf King.
It was obvious that Wang used the power of his soul to appear in time and save his life.
"Are you injured?" Shu Li frowned and flew closer to the Elf King worriedly. He circled around him twice, checking his body from front to back, left to right.
The hot springs of Mount Amitai contain magical powers that can relieve pain.
Wang came here specially to take a hot spring bath today. He must have been injured while saving him last night.
Shu Li felt a lump in his throat and blamed himself.
The Elf King held the little elf in his hands and gently stroked it. "It's not injured. This little bit of soul power is not enough to hurt me."
Shu Li held one of his fingers and asked persistently, "Don't lie to me."
The Elf King said: "To change the outcome of the prophecy, it is understandable to pay a small price. Sperian, you are more dangerous than I am."
Shu Li made a firm promise: "King, I will work hard to become stronger and defeat the God of Darkness! So, please take good care of yourself."
The Elf King responded softly, "Okay."
Shu Li felt an immense fighting spirit in his heart. For the Elf King, no matter how hard or tiring it was, he had to learn magic well and find the remaining elemental elves, and yes, the five magic swords!
That is a powerful weapon that can seal the God of Darkness. How can we ignore it?
Shu Liluo returned to the pool, changed the water in the small wooden basin to warm water, and sat in it to soak again.
"Wang, I want to go to the mainland for training in a few years. Is that okay?" He asked, putting the wrung bath towel on his head.
Only by going out to gain experience can you find elemental spirits and magic swords faster.
He still had eighty-five years to go before he reached adulthood, and he couldn't wait any longer.
The Elf King would never refuse his request. "Yes."
"Really?" Shu Li was overjoyed and leaned forward excitedly, but he used too much force and the small wooden basin turned over, and he fell into the pool.
“Woo-oo ...
The next second, he was lifted out of the water by the Elf King's fingers. He wiped the water off his face and grinned foolishly: "Hehehe——"
