Sword of Daybreaker

Gawain picked up the teacup, but he did not get to his lips. In his thoughts, he gradually sorted out the long and unknown history of the Silver Empire after the fall of the God of Nature-the life span of the elves was too long, so they The Mixin in history is far more mysterious and far-reaching than human imagination. The time span of more than three thousand years, even in the most prosperous Gondor Empire, has exceeded the accurate record limit of history books.

And such a long history can even be used to create a few "gods" for some druids.

Of course, according to Bersetia’s description, those created by the Druid’s esoteric teachings are far from being called gods, and all things will eventually die will consciously create the "false gods" and in the No. 1 sandbox. The "upper-level narrators" born by accident are not the same. Those who are at most psychological projections created by group thoughts are still far from entering the real world.

Thinking of this, Gawain suddenly couldn't help feeling a little bit-talking about death, it is true that humans are better. The results of the three thousand years of tossing by the elven druids combined are not as big as those of the two cults. ...

But this is really not something worthy of boasting.

"You are lost in thought again," The Silver Queen seems to have been watching the changes in Gawain's expression very intently. Her voice awakens Gawain from thinking, "But this is also normal. What I just said can make anyone Falling into deep thought."

"...I'm just thinking, after so many years, how much have you summed up from the attempts of those esoteric groups," Gawain put down his teacup and said while thinking, "You mentioned just now, although you are not sure What are the secret teaching organizations'summoned', but you already have some guesses about it...I think this'guessing' is not that simple, right?"

The Silver Queen was silent for a few seconds, and then let out a sigh: "Frankly speaking, since the fall of the White Star, we have been trying to uncover the truth behind it-after all, it was a major event that changed the empire. Its influence has even spread to the entire world, and no one is curious about the truth behind it.

"As you know, the Silver Empire is a country that unites imperial power and theocracy. The Elf royal family is also the religious leader of the Druid sect. Therefore, the most outstanding scholars of the Druid sect are all loyal to the Elf Royal Court. The Fall of White Star Afterwards, the Elven King's Court organized a large-scale, time-consuming and long investigation operation, which even continued until my father wore a golden oak crown.

"But even after organizing the most outstanding scholars and spending such a long time, we have not been able to find out the truth about the fall of the stars, and we have not been able to rebuild the connection with the **** of nature, so we can only draw a frustrating conclusion. : The **** of nature has fallen, no matter what the reason, it has left this world forever.

"And it is in this situation that those esoteric religions appeared and seemed to be connected with a certain mysterious existence, and those mysterious existences, to a certain extent, showed some characteristics similar to the gods in ancient records... For the royal family who was still investigating the truth about the fall of the White Star, the impact was extremely huge-we are not a dull race, we can think of the possible truth behind this, this truth almost subverts our worldview .

"My grandmother... she was the first elves to order the destruction of those esoteric groups. Few people knew that she changed into a priestess's robe the night before she died, praying and confessing all night, and finally in fear and pain. But even so, she did not change the order she had given until death.

"My father, he carried out the order left by his grandmother. During his nearly two thousand years in power, he destroyed every esoteric organization he discovered, and indirectly destroyed every esoteric organization'summoned.' "God", he carefully read all the materials written on the slate and leaf-patterned paper by the members of the esoteric religion, including even the most inconspicuous words-in fact, he is the real esoteric expert. If he wants, he can recover Any ritual performed by any esoteric group, but he never did so, he took everything to the grave.

"In my generation... I and most of my courtiers have completely adapted to the "Druid Orthodox" without gods, and even rebelliously, we think this is better. But we still use Druids The sect manages the forest and the land. We use the elven letters simplified from the "Language of Nature" three thousand years ago as official scripts. Many special words in our language are related to the faith activities three thousand years ago... God has left us, But the cultural imprint is inseparable from our tradition.

"So back to the question just now-what did we'guess'? We actually guessed everything, but we never admit it, we can't admit...what do we admit? Recognize all the orthodox leaders of the druids in the world, The generations of the gods of nature, the rulers of the silver empire, spent three generations killing seven new'gods of nature'?"

The story of the Queen Silver came to an end. She picked up the black tea in front of her, took a sip, and then smiled at Gao Wen: "I seem to be off topic?"

"...No, no," Gawain said in a low tone while calming his mind. He looked up into Bersetia's eyes, trying to see through the eyes of the mature ruler of the empire. Some real emotions, but failed-those eyes are extremely deep, all emotions seem to have been blocked in the depths of the mind in the hundreds of years of ruling career, he had to shook his head, "So, you are not to the gods Know nothing-on the contrary, you know a lot, far more than human beings, but all the secrets are buried deep in the records of the royal family, and all research stops at a simple taste."

The Silver Queen nodded: "You can say so."

"Then what do you think of what I told you in the last letter?" Gao Wen asked, "About the'countdown' behind the gods discovered in human research and our plan to find a way to save ourselves. "

"This is an area we haven't discovered before," the blonde lady in front of him looked serious. "We have noticed the birth of the gods, but no one has ever realized the existence of that terrible countdown. After receiving your letter, I only feel great fortunate-fortunate that our three generations of elves have always made the right decision and did not let things develop into an unmanageable situation. As for the self-help method... you did not elaborate in the letter, but if you are serious Yes, then I am very interested."

"Of course I'm serious," Gao Wen said frankly, "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to be so committed to changing the situation in the entire Loren continent-the god's crazy countdown is a sword that hangs over the heads of all mortals. , Whether you want to admit it or not, this sharp sword cannot be confronted by any single country. Since the rules of operation of the gods are based on sentient beings’ thoughts, the key to breaking the situation is destined to be sentient beings. I don’t Where is the critical point for determining this'beings', but it is definitely more than one country and one race, so I need to include as many countries and races as possible into the plan."

Having said that, he took a very serious look at the blonde woman opposite: "In fact, what I was most worried about was the Silver Empire’s attitude to this matter. Among the Loren continent, only the Silver Empire’s royal family had both. As the leader of the church, even though the gods whom the druids believe in have left this world for many years, this identity still affects your behavior, but now it seems...this biggest worry is not a problem."

The Silver Queen's gaze stayed on Gawain for a while, and she suddenly laughed: "I can see that you are serious, then I am happy to be your supporter."

Gawain’s expression hasn’t changed much, just a sigh of relief. He can no longer connect the mature and stressful woman in front of him with the "little princess" in his memory-the other party’s changes are really real. It's so big that the memory of Gawain Cecil is almost useless. All he can do is adapt to the circumstances.

Then he thought for a while, ready to ask the next question, but before he could speak, the Silver Queen said: "You have asked a lot, is it the lady's turn to ask now?"

Gao Wen was startled, then nodded: "Of course, you can ask."

The other party smiled, and she looked into Gawain's eyes and said unhurriedly, "You are not the real Uncle Gawain, are you?"

Gao Wen: "..."

There was only a moment of silence. Gawain felt that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated by half a beat, but his strong mind played a role. His appearance did not show any abnormalities, and even his breathing rhythm was not disturbed. He just showed some surprises and surprises. He pointed to himself, and looked at the blonde woman in front of him: "How can I say that? Can I be fake?"

The Silver Queen looked at Gao Wen calmly, and for a long time she said softly: "I didn't deceive you, I know you are not him, at least not exactly him... I can tell."

The garden was quiet for a while, and the stagnant air seemed to be gradually turning into a solid. It was very depressing. Gawain and the Silver Queen were facing each other quietly. He observed each other’s eyes, and at the same time, he had already brewed countless things suitable for his eyes. This is a situational rhetoric and a way of self-certification, but in the end he smiled and shook his head: "Why are these one or two found in the end..."

"Both?" Hearing this was equivalent to a default response, the Empress Silver's expression did not change much, but she noticed the key words in Gawain's words, and there was a hint of curiosity in her tone, "Who else has discovered ?"

Gawain shook his head: "Bertila Augustus, Selena Gelfen-you should remember them, back then you often went to them to make trouble, you even secretly hid Selena’s lantern, but I don’t know that it was a magic lamp, it recorded the process of hiding the lamp completely."

"Bertila and Selena... it's been a long time since I heard these two names," the Silver Queen showed a trace of memory, "They are still alive?!"

"...In a sense," Gawain said, "A lot of things have happened, and I am afraid it will take a whole day to explain. If I have the opportunity, I can take you to meet them-of course, provided that they are also willing to be with you. Nostalgia."

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "Leave aside these for the time being, how do you judge that I am not'Uncle Gao Wen'? Although it is a bit boastful to say that-but I don't think there is any abnormality in my performance, from the way of speaking to My habitual little movements are no different from Gawain Cecil 700 years ago."

"Yes, the points are not bad... how can you be the same?" The Silver Queen looked at Gawain's eyes calmly, "If you really are Uncle Gawain, how can you be the same as seven hundred years ago? What?"

Gawain frowned, feeling a little confused: "'Gawain Cecil has been in a deep sleep for seven hundred years.' Since these seven hundred years have been in deep sleep, then in fact the current'I' and the original'death' In fact, there is only a few years of time difference, just a few years, it should be..."

"If you are the real Uncle Gawain, then you have experienced life and death, haven't you?" The Silver Queen interrupted Gawain, and stated word by word, "You have experienced life and death, experienced the momentary change of times, and experienced After all things are right and wrong, you wake up in a completely strange era, and you have done so many earth-shattering things in this strange era, and most importantly-there is a nearly completely strange me in front of you. You It is true that you have not experienced those seven hundred years, but what you have experienced is a greater change than seven hundred years of life, so how can you maintain the appearance in my memory without being affected?"

She paused, staring into Gawain's eyes, and then whispered for a long time: "You are too much like the Uncle Gawain in my memory-almost 100%, then it can't be true."

"... To the effect," Gawain was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, patting his forehead suddenly, "but are these the only reasons?"

"If there are only these reasons, I would probably only doubt it," said the Silver Queen, "but I also know another thing, I know the rumors about the'extraterritorial wanderer'... Under this premise, I am more than doubting. ."

Gao Wen resisted the urge to pull the corners of his mouth: "The elves have footprints all over the continent. Everyone says that the Silver Queen is the most informed ruler in the world... Now I have a deep understanding."

He sighed, and then said: "But since you found out that I am not real, why do you tell me so much? You are even willing to support my plan? You don't think I am a dangerous'soul stealer', or Someone with an unknown purpose?"

The blonde woman in front of him laughed: "You just said that the Silver Queen is the most informed ruler in the world."

"what do you mean……"

"The connection between the northern part of the mainland and the Silver Empire is not smooth-but that is only a relative point. In fact, information about you fills my table, from your establishment of a pioneering territory in the Dark Mountains to the revival of the Cecil family, from You build your empire, and then to the war of killing the gods... I understand everything you brought to this world, even including the font used in the headline of the third report of Cecil Weekly in the second issue of this month ," The Silver Queen smiled, "After knowing all this, do I need to know more?

"As for the other reason I told you so much...it's actually very simple.

"You have defeated a god, and there is more than one."
