Sean came closer, picked up the small skull and studied it carefully...
It's about the size of a palm, and it's very lifelike. It feels like real bones, but how can a skull be so small? Even a newborn baby can't have it, and if it's not human, it can't be any other animal!
There is no such animal.
While I was still studying this small skull carefully, I suddenly felt a hand placed in front of me.
“What are you doing?!!”
He turned his head and glanced at Ayla who was already lying on the bed. There was a slight redness on her beautiful face, but the look in her eyes when she saw him was as serious as when she was sober!
"Let me... look at this thing of yours. Didn't you say it was a relic of an ancient wizard?" Sean said after a moment of surprise.
I didn't expect that I had just fallen asleep and now I woke up again.
"Forget it, I won't watch it anymore!"
Put the things back.
If it were any other girl, Sean might have been too lazy to argue with her, but this was his "mother's" thing after all, so he let her rest early. Today, she was the only one who withstood all the temptations and exchanges from the ministers of the Kselk Palace. She must have drunk a lot of wine and must be tired.
"etc……"
Sean was about to go out when Ayla suddenly called him.
Well?
"Have you always been curious about the power of the ancient gods that I possess?"
That actually hit the nail on the head about what Sean was thinking.
"Yeah." He nodded and replied.
"Actually, I'm also very curious about the power you possess. What kind of power do you possess?" Aila sat up from the bed and seemed to be preparing to get out. Perhaps she really felt dizzy and didn't want to get up, so when she turned her feet to the edge of the bed, she didn't get down.
"If it's my power...it's this!"
Sean thought about it. It goes without saying that Yog-Sothoth's ability is too sensitive, but Cthugha's should be fine.
Turn your palm in front of the other person...
[Flame of Cthugha] ignites once again!
It was like lava and plasma oozing out of the arm. There was no pain at all, but when a drop fell on the ground, a burning hole would melt out of the polished marble floor.
"Flame... No wonder that happened in the swamp town. The power of the Ancient Gods carries an incomprehensible essence, or rather, it seems to be something otherworldly. The more we use it, the more insane we become..."
Ayla seemed to have gotten rid of most of the alcohol, and began to talk about how she obtained this power.
Probably a long time ago...
That is, when the Jagong royal family was in civil strife, a traitor emerged among the ministers in the imperial court and joined forces with the general at the time to launch a coup.
These things were the stories that the Sun King later told himself. When talking to Ayla, she kept using metaphors such as the housekeeper and guards at home, but Sean could understand the stories she was telling.
The rise and fall of a family is an inevitable process. Even the Izdihar family that has ruled Jagun for so many years will decline one day... It's just that they happen to be of this generation. However, Aila and her brother were fortunate to be sent out of the palace by the loyal ministers at that time, preserving the spark of fighting against the rebels in the future.
But even such a declining family would find it difficult to stand up again. It should be said that in most of history there were not many people who could stand up again.
Although the fallen heroes in the bards' stories will stand up again and defeat their enemies, how many such people are there in reality? How many generations of business are destroyed and it is difficult to recover.
For this reason, Ayla can only seek other power to achieve it!
Fortunately, during their wandering, the brother and sister met the leader of the Sun Crown at that time, who discovered her magical talent and took them in.
"Back then, I was very similar to your current disciple, except I had more to do. I discovered a way from a wizard to regain my family's glory through power, so I sought out a stronger source of power."
Both of them looked at the bone on the table at the same time.
"So you found this?"
"Well, this should be considered one of the ancient treasures kept by the Sun Crown. It can awaken the wizard whose soul is attached to it. Through it, I learned about the existence of the ancient god and continued his research before his death... That's how I gained this power."
"How did it come about?" Sean was still very curious.
I have seen the ancient gods several times, even facing them head-on, but I don’t know if other people have had such experiences.
"I remember when I first obtained the slate, I called out according to the spell they taught me. That day, I witnessed a scene I will never forget."
Sean squatted down and wanted to listen carefully to Ayla's feelings when she saw the ancient god...
"I don't know what that is. I even feel that it is unreal, but I'm really scared... My heart keeps telling me not to look, but I can't suppress my curiosity to take a peek, but just a glance..." The wine-red look on Ayla's face has slowly faded away. She raised her head and stared at Sean seriously.
"What did you see?"
"I didn't see anything."
"Ah?" A somewhat baffling answer.
"You didn't see anything?"
"Because I really didn't see anything. I just remember it was a pitch-black area. It seemed like fog, but it also seemed like something solid. But there was definitely something in the fog. I noticed the existence of two eyes. Because I was so scared at the time, I felt like I might go crazy at any time and be suddenly woken up. Since then, I have never seen a similar scene again."
