Soul of Burning Steel

——The ogre doesn't actually eat people, but also laughs at those monsters that eat people?

"Starfall 834 years."

Because of the other party's words, Joshua's expression was a little subtle. He answered the other party's question neatly. A period of at least 300 years of historical loss, so there is no way to predict how long it will be."

"Starfall? They named the new era, so it's been so long... But anyway, after a thousand years, civilization still exists, and we succeeded."

Hearing Joshua's answer, the two-headed giant didn't react unexpectedly, he just let out a sigh of emotion, and then walked out of the white crystal cover.

The body of the two-headed giant is huge and strong. Even a giant dragon may not have such strong muscles. During the steps, the entire basement trembled visible to the naked eye. The white crystal shield that blocks all filth appeared in the underground laboratory.

——It's just a phantom, but it's very real, even to the point where it can be mistaken for real.

Joshua quickly understood that the god of despair and luck who had completely regained consciousness in front of him was still just a phantom in the mist of God's Evil, a fragment of the engraving of a fallen god, and the missing head might be the one that made him His fall wounds.

But even if the opponent is a phantom, it is still the shadow of a god. If it hadn't been for the war with the abyss and the evil god a thousand years ago, he would not have fallen.

"It's not as good as the group of mages in Sky City... It's better to say it's far behind."

Touching all kinds of equipment in the laboratory with his huge hands, the two-headed giant murmured in a rough and low voice: "However, what's interesting is that there is a little shadow of elf secrets in these magic circles, and there are also dwarf runes. According to the structure of the civilization, it seems that the civilization has merged after the catastrophe."

"It's comforting that the world has regressed, but embarked on a new path."

Talking softly to himself, the giant turned his head. He looked at Joshua and said in a low voice, "Perhaps humans have long forgotten my name..." The two-headed giant laughed at himself, but shook his head freely and said, "The gods have already passed away. My name doesn't make sense, but you always need a name to call me."

"I am a walker in the wilderness, a witness of despair and luck, Ogier's ruler and protector, human being, you can call me Ogner."

When he said this, the voice of the god named Ogner was already a little illusory, and he stared at Joshua with dark golden eyes: "Human, you have the soul of the forest and the breath of a sage...you Perhaps they are the inheritors of one of them. Can you tell me their ending? And my people, they are called ogres by you. Did these guys degenerate to this point after losing civilization? ?”

Being able to regain consciousness from the fragmented divinity in the mist of God's Evil, this kind of luck can be called a miracle, and the god of despair and luck who has realized this miracle seems to have a lot of questions to ask, even if he is now just a Phantoms, curiosity never extinguished.

Joshua is not very clear about the current situation, but there is no doubt that this god who calls himself Ogner has no malice towards everything around him, and even the black mist that endangers the lives of mages has dissipated, so chat with him It doesn't matter.

"I don't know much about sages. Rather, the vast majority of people in the world don't know this name. Only a few people know his existence, but the father of nature..."

After thinking for a while, he slowly finished talking about the Father of Nature. Compared with the sages who only have a few words and memory fragments, the warrior has had personal contact with the Father of Nature, so he can naturally say more things.

"...As for your group..."

Speaking of this, Joshua frowned, he couldn't figure out how to say it, but because soldiers really don't know how to cover up, his thoughts are so obvious that they are even written on his face, so even if he hasn't spoken yet, Ou Gena already knew the outcome of his group.

"I should have guessed it a long time ago... the sacrificial boxes that store my divinity fragments are all placed in the human mage's laboratory, and you don't have the slightest breath of Ogier on your body, which proves that this is not your killing My people have it."

He didn't comment on the fact that the father of nature escaped from the Mycroft world. The two-headed giant calmly analyzed the fate of his own group, as if the existences in his mouth were not his people: "They should have perished long ago, indeed , Under such a disaster, they will not be able to survive if they are not good at grouping together.

Although he hid it well, Joshua could still hear a trace of sadness in the other party's calmness, and he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Please forgive me, I thought you were an evil god, after all, the one released in the box The mist is highly corrosive, and this is not something a calm and wise being like you would do."

He didn't seem worried that Organa would be angry because of this, and the old two-headed giant did have an extraordinary calmness and wisdom. Regarding Joshua's question, he thought for a while, and then slowly expressed his guess Answer: "Perhaps, they performed a blood sacrifice for me."

"These little guys probably wanted to revive me, so they tried every method."

Organa's tone was calm, he looked at his body, and then said in a rough voice: "This is probably the origin of the name of the ogre in your mouth, the resentment of the life killed by the blood sacrifice is entwined on this box, In the end, such an accident was brewed, and my priesthood is also hopeless, so it is not a kind existence in itself."

Just looking at the appearance, it really doesn't look like a kind existence. Joshua admitted that he didn't have a good impression of Ogner at first glance, but subsequent actions proved that this old two-headed giant is wiser than most seemingly intelligent humans.

In the laboratory, there was silence, and Ogner looked around at the materials in the laboratory. He also looked at the seven mages who had fallen into a dream, and then shook his head in disappointment: "Except for one is not bad, the others are not bad. All of them are unqualified, are the spirits of today’s mages so fragile? In my era, they might pee their pants in fear before seeing a demon.”

"Thousands of years ago, what happened..."

Hearing this sentence, Joshua couldn't help frowning, and muttered to himself: "Father of Nature didn't fight to the end, he took other elves to another world in the middle, what is the meaning of sages and other gods?" How did you defeat the Abyss Demon and Chaos God?"

"Thousands of years ago? That was really a desperate age."

After stopping his exploration, Organa turned his head and repeated Joshua's question. He shook his head and replied: "Although we didn't fight to the end, the Father of Nature didn't lie to you, what he said is the truth of."

Speaking of this, the two-headed giant's eyes were a little blurred, his dark golden eyes flickered, and even the second head, which was only a phantom, was shaking slightly, as if it was remembering.

"The world used to be so prosperous and prosperous. Many races and countries joined hands to explore the void and worlds in the multiverse. Even my compatriots who are as stupid as me have a civilization worth boasting under the leadership of a two-headed wise man like me. .”

Recalling softly, Ogner sighed slowly. This god of despair and luck did not seem to have the majesty of a god at this time. He laughed at himself: "That's why we are arrogant."

"Arrogance will indeed destroy all glory. The time-space channel jointly created by the various races is linked to the abyss, and the evil from the ancient times and the chaos in the void are all attacked because of this. The prosperous world is at stake in an instant."

"The gods are the guardians of the world and the witnesses of civilization. Naturally, we have to fight against them. Under the leadership of the sages, we fought against the ancient evils in the abyss for several years. During this period, countless gods and demigods fell and passed away. Among them, With me."

"I'm disappointed. I may have died earlier than Father Nature fled. I'm not very clear about the final outcome of the battle."

After Ogner finished speaking, he couldn't help but wondered: "Could it be that you have lost the history of the last era? Didn't even one god survive? Since we are the ones who won in the end, there must be gods who survived. Civilization will not forget this painful lesson."

"And even if the god of the earth and the ruler of the sky were to die, even if the incarnation of the sea and the guardian of all life were to fall, the sage would never die. His power surpassed the gods and reached the The realm of existence, He is an immortal saint, even if the world is destroyed, he can survive alone."

"... But the fact is that no gods from the previous era survived, and all races, including humans, are re-developed civilizations."

After a moment of silence, Joshua replied in a deep voice, his expression was serious, because the words of the two-headed giant also reminded him.

In the last era, since the world of Mycroft was victorious, some immortal gods should have survived, but the current situation is that all gods, including the seven gods of the human race, were born after being lost for three hundred years. The existence of the sage has been a mystery from the very beginning, no one knows his whereabouts, and no one knows whether he has fallen or is still alive.

And the gods that Ogner mentioned have indeed fallen, the remains of the god of the earth [Rock Mountain Giant], the sigh of the ruler of the sky [Heaven's Madness], the roar of the incarnation of the ocean [Ocean Sea Wind] ...The traces of these gods are located in the boundless heaven, and when the great demon tide comes in the future, they will appear in this world.

The lost three hundred years gathered all the mysteries, the disappearance of the gods, the traces of the sages, too much history was lost, and no one knew the secrets even in the previous life. The second invasion of the abyss made countless ancient books be destroyed. The demonic fire of hell burned down, and the relics that had been preserved for thousands of years were ravaged by the iron hooves of the demons, causing a wider range of historical faults.

At this time, Ogner's body became a little more illusory.

Both Joshua and himself discovered this.

After all, the god of despair and luck has long since passed away. What exists at this time is only a divine avatar placed in the sacrificial box by him. Because of the extraordinary luck that can be called a miracle, it can be reappeared in the world. Now, this The short-lived miracle also came to an end.

"Satisfied, wake up for the last time, and know the result of the victory of the war. My sacrifice was not in vain, and the sacrifices of my people and friends were not in vain."

He smiled, and the wrinkles on the face of the old two-headed giant piled up, revealing a satisfied smile: "I have already fallen in despair, but I didn't expect to be so lucky to reappear in the world, knowing the ending of everything."

Not paying attention to his gradually becoming illusory figure, Ogner looked down at Joshua, who said in a rough and low voice, "What is on the other side of that mountain? That sea What's on the other side of the star? What's on the other side of the star?"

"—Life was born to understand these."

"Human beings are like this, so are we. If it happens again, I think no matter who, even the sage himself, will open the door of time and space again."

The illusory gods seemed to say to themselves not to the warriors: "Exploring the unknown is the reason and motivation of our existence. Even if there is endless chaos in front of us, we will hold up the torch of civilization and march forward in the darkness." Okay, it’s a long road, and someone will be able to walk it.”

After sighing with emotion, Ogner's dark golden eyes were brighter than ever before. At this time, He, like a real god, exuded the majesty that one couldn't help but worship. Although the tall body of the two-headed giant became more and more illusory, But there was a ray of bright light circulating on his blue skin, and he said with a slightly echoed tone, as if two heads spoke at the same time: "My time is running out, young and lucky warrior, I see It turns out that you have many questions you want to ask, and your curiosity is burning.

"You don't need to suppress this desire. I am an existence that has passed away. The dead will not block the path of the living. As long as I know, I will answer this question for you."

Joshua was silent about this.

The number of times he was silent today was more than in the past month.

And Ogner waited calmly, waiting for the soldier to think, he had already died, and now he didn't care about everything in the world, the young human being in front of him had once seen the father of nature, and he also had the breath of a sage on his body, and he was still alive If he was lucky enough to stand in front of him when he woke up, then this might mean some kind of fate.

The Ogier race believes in destiny, everything is preordained, and what life can do is to find its own luck in despair, just as He did.

"I want to know..."

After thinking for a short period of time, it could also be considered a long period of time, Joshua spoke, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he was thinking seriously, and he still hesitated: "I want to know something about the gods. "

How to become a god? It's normal, any human being who seeks power will ask this question. The soldier's question did not surprise Ogier. He had already had a plan in mind, and he just waited for Joshua to ask the question thoroughly.

"I've wanted to know about this for a long time, and I've been holding it back for almost ten years."

The soldier didn't hesitate for too long, he frowned, and asked bluntly, "Why are the priesthoods of many gods reversed? Aren't they afraid of schizophrenia?"

Organa: "What did you say?"
