I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

After Feng Yu took him to Pohnpei Island before, Lu Tiao had roughly understood the nature of these tasks in the Quiet Land.

That is, those real gods picked up a piece of foreign history, used it as a stage, put the chosen ones in, and after achieving the results they wanted, put this piece of history back to its original position.

For these gods, every foreign mission is an unread part of the novel. They can jump to the beginning or the end at will, and throwing the chosen ones into it is a black box operation.

They are more advanced observers than the Chosen Ones. If mortals are like NPCs in the story to the Chosen Ones and cannot perceive the timeline, then for those gods, the Chosen Ones are also unable to perceive the timeline. Changing toys.

If you want to truly control yourself, you must jump out of your own timeline and view foreign lands from a bird's-eye view.

This is probably the concept of "sublimation" mentioned by Taoist Heming.

After leaving countless imprints of oneself in a foreign land and becoming a law without the concept of time, it is possible to truly break away from the shackles of time and gain true freedom.

Therefore, Lu Jian and the others are actually in the period when "the Gray Tower of the Kingdom of Darkness has not yet been established." In the end, the Gray Tower was indeed established, and countless chosen ones may have entered the mission and failed.

The reason why Lu Tian believed that they were the chosen ones who succeeded and not others was because if they failed, it would be absolutely difficult to survive in this demonic tide.

Moreover, Drizzt is still in the category of a detective. Although he has mastered some extraordinary powers, if he wants to become a being like Xuanjun who can seal the old rulers, he will definitely need a certain qualitative change. Only by harvesting something from several missions can he finally grow into the appearance of Xuanjun.

Drizzt was startled when he heard Lu Tan's words, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"That's okay, we can relax a little bit."

He avoided talking about his death.

"Coming."

Stone glanced out the window. The woods were gradually thinning out, and traces of human existence were gradually becoming apparent.

"What do you know about this era?"

Lu Tan asked Shia.

"not much."

Shia shook her head.

"In this era, the Gray Tower has just been established, so the demonic tide is still raging. The records in most areas will be lost in the demonic tide again and again. When the kingdom is destroyed, most of the written records will be gone. .”

In her words, now is the barbaric era, which is almost the same as the situation when Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang fought against Chi You. Legends and history are mixed together, and there are no detailed descriptions.

"Then you should also know the name of the founder of Gray Tower, right?"

Stone pressed.

"No, we don't know his name. The Gray Tower didn't record his name. As for the reason, I don't know."

Shia denied.

"I once asked my teacher this question. He thought it was because there were many people who built the Gray Tower at that time. The establishment of the magic system was not a short-term achievement of one person, and the Magic Network itself represents equal opportunities for everyone. He came into contact with magic, so the Gray Tower is silent about the name of the original builder."

"But I think maybe the founder of the Gray Tower doesn't want his name to be deified. When a certain great deed is specific to a certain person, he will gather his faith, just like Taoist Heming, and turn it into a mark. It may become a god, and the founder created the Gray Tower just to fight against the gods who released monsters, so he would refuse to let himself become the same state."

"So we still have to find the creator?"

Drizzt couldn't help but ask.

"It's also a good thing. At least here in Shia, the founder has not yet reached a closed loop. As long as we can find one person to help him build the Gray Tower, then he will be the founder."

Stone thought quickly.

This is similar to Lu Tian's idea. He doesn't have to look for the first brick of the gray tower he needs. He can just touch one when the time comes to build it.

"Your Excellency, we have arrived."

The voice of soldiers came from outside. Lu Tiao looked outside and saw relatively simple fortifications and some towers between the forests. There were sparse pedestrians on the roads and low buildings. The soldiers were wearing old leather armor and were lined up loosely. The queue was moving forward, probably because it had just rained, the ground was muddy, and the wheels were about to sink into the mud.

The smell of cow dung mixed with earth filled the air, enough to make a sophisticated modern person vomit on the spot.

Lu Tan jumped out of the car and found that the place was on a slope. Looking down, he could see a large area of ​​farmland. More farmers were busy in the fields, sowing seeds, looking forward to the harvest season.

"Your Excellency, I will take you to see the Baron."

The soldier with the sharp sword at the beginning said. He led the way and took Lu Jiao and others for a few steps until they arrived in front of a mansion that was still dilapidated, but at least seemed decent.

Most of the other houses in the town are made of wood, but this mansion is made of bricks and stones, which shows its nobility.

There were not many guards in the mansion. Lu Tiao and others walked into the courtyard and saw a man in a red robe sitting in the courtyard. He was feeding chickens, holding a handful of coarse grains in his hand, very immersed in it.

Just as Shia was about to speak, Stone motioned for her to wait a moment.

After the man scattered all the coarse grains in his hands, he clapped his hands, stood up, and turned to face Lu Tiao and the others.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Food is in short supply now, and these chickens are still too small. I want to raise them bigger and use them to entertain you."

He is about in his early twenties, about the same age as Lu Tan, with dull blond hair and a thin build. Obviously, even as the person in power here, his treatment is not much better.

"You can just call me Jero. Baron is just a purchased title. On the first day I got here, I knew that I was probably on the wrong pirate ship."

"Bought?"

Stone raised an eyebrow.

"I have indeed heard that in the last days of the old kingdom, the royal family was corrupt and titles were sold for money. When most of the people who bought titles arrived in the fief, they would exploit them at all levels, break their bones and suck out their marrow, and drain all the subjects in the fief. Otherwise, it will all be a loss.”

Shia explained in a low voice.

It seems that Baron Gerald also wants to spend money to buy a title to make money, but what he didn't expect is that this town is much poorer than he thought. Even if he squeezes it, he can't squeeze out any money, so he loses it here. .

"But the scenery here is quite good. It's close to the forest. It's a pity that there is not much manpower. Otherwise, according to what I said when I bought the title, I can make a lot of money by exploring the resources in the forest."

Baron Jero sighed.

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from the house behind him.
