Chapter 1074： secret

In the garden of the Oak Hall, unknown flowers bloom quietly, and the powerful natural magic maintains the vitality here, so that all kinds of plants that can only grow in the southern region are vibrant on the northern land, and there is a breeze. The boundary enveloped the entire courtyard, and the noise from other parts of the town was weakened layer by layer, and there were only a few subtle noises left here-not appearing noisy, but more peaceful.

Gawain sits at the round table, and the refreshing fragrance of tea emerges from the exquisite gold-painted round cup. Some elven snacks and fruits from the tropics that are not common in the human world are dotted on the silver plate, which looks pleasing to the eye.

The Silver Empress Belsetia sat opposite him. The ruler of the Elf Empire had a faint smile on her face. She had been carefully looking at Gawain for a long time, and only then did she break the silence: "I just heard you' When the news of'Resurrection', the entire Elf King Court caused a lot of waves...Many elves familiar with you are still alive, and they were shocked by the news. Of course, they also included me-it is a pity that the Silver Empire and Anzu at that time The distance is too far, and the situation in the north is too chaotic. We can only have some limited information until the magic net is connected to the sentry tower and the news channel becomes unblocked...the situation in the north becomes clear."

"...A lot of things happened," Gawain recalled what he had witnessed after his "resurrection", and he sighed sincerely, "You can't imagine what I saw when I woke up... , The order is in chaos, and the thing I’ve hit 700 years ago will be hit again after waking up... and the most important thing is that 700 years have passed. Not only did human beings make no progress in the cause of counterattack the wasteland, but Returned."

He said his sighs in the voice of Gawain Cecil. Under the influence of the common memory and personal experience, these feelings were completely from the heart, and even the Queen Silver could not help but sigh: " I can understand... For more than seven hundred years, I have witnessed how the world has changed like this. The four pioneering legions that once rushed out of the Gondor Wasteland have become completely strange in these hundreds of years, or Good or bad, but the common point is that almost everyone has gradually forgotten the threat of wasteland-the situation of the Kaolin Kingdom bordering the Silver Empire is better, because of the existence of a large number of half-blood elves, they are not so easy to'forget' history. Next is Typhon. Except for a few mediocre people, they always have more wise and powerful rulers, and Anzu and Ogure..."

The Silver Queen sighed and shook her head: "If Anzu hadn't suffered that civil war, it would not have declined so much, and Ogure-it is a tribal kingdom in itself, and the remnants of Gondor only occupy a part of it. Most of the indigenous races in the tribal nations have less profound memories of the disaster, not to mention that they have high mountains as a natural barrier. Races living in a comfortable environment are very concerned about the crises that occur outside their world. Dull."

Gawain couldn’t help but stay on Bersetia for two more seconds-at this moment, he more and more truly felt the “Silver Queen” from Gawain Cecil’s memory and before him. There is a huge disconnect in the image of this lady.

This is a peculiar feeling, but he is not unfamiliar—since he uncovered the coffin, he has come into contact with more than one "old acquaintance" who is impressed in Gawain Cecil's memory, from Selena To Bertila, from Megall III to Bersetia, these people have gone through 700 years of life, and they are no longer what they remember. Everyone of them has changed. Throughout, it's just that... the silver queen may have changed the most.

Gawain’s thoughts couldn’t help spreading: Among the old acquaintances he had come into contact with, Solderlin seemed to be the one who had the least change. Although the high-ranking ranger also experienced a lot of ups and downs, he and other people In comparison, his changes are only a bit more mature than before. Gavin pondered the reasons for this, and slowly understood--

Among all the friends who have gone through seven hundred years, Solderlin is the only one who has never changed what he is looking for-a person without hair is really obsessed with one thing.

The sudden drift of thought made Gawain smile unconsciously. This smile was keenly captured by Bersetia. She showed a hint of curiosity: "Uncle Gawain, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, just suddenly thought of something funny," Gawain shook his head and shifted the topic away, "and also a little bit emotional-after so many years, when I wake up, not only many people I know have died. Even those who are still alive have changed so much that they are almost unrecognizable."

"Do you also include me?"

"You are the one who has changed the most."

"You haven't changed much-almost exactly the same as the last impression in my memory," Bersetia looked at Gawain's eyes seriously, and the calm gaze even made Gawain feel a little uncomfortable, but soon this The silver queen looked away, and changed the subject very naturally, "Uncle Gao Wen, let's talk a little bit more about the past. What do you think about this meeting?"

"What do you think?" Gao Wen was stunned. He didn't understand why the other party said so suddenly, but this question was not difficult to answer. He quickly responded, "I am the first promoter and caller of this meeting. , So if you ask my opinion, of course I think this meeting is necessary and important. The reason is that as I said in the previous letter, our world is not safe, and as time goes by, a greater crisis Challenges and challenges are still waiting for everyone. Whether it is to meet these challenges or for our own peace and development, unity is necessary."

"I know all of this, I'm just curious... Is it true that you established such an alliance for the safety of this world and the future of mortal civilization?" Belcetia asked calmly, even though she was always using honorifics Called Gao Wen, but as the Queen of Silver, some kind of prestige that has almost become a habit still makes her every word can faintly bring pressure to people-fortunately for Gao Wen, this pressure is nothing.

He has faced the dragon gods and witnessed the vicissitudes of life. I am afraid that there is no existence in this world that can have any influence on him with pure "coercion".

"From the overall picture, my only goal is indeed the safety of this world and the future of mortal civilization," Gao Wen said frankly, facing Bersetia's sight, "but if you have to speak of selfishness...yes , I have selfishness. My selfishness is to hope to realize all this with my own ideas. There are many great people in this world, and they may all have their own understanding of the future of this world, but I now hope that something will happen in this world Changes, and these changes may not meet everyone’s expectations, but I think it’s the right thing to do...this is my greatest selfishness."

"Strictly speaking, this should be considered ambition... but it is not wrong to say that it is'selfishness'," Belcetia laughed. "I think I understand your thoughts... It seems that a face-to-face conversation is indeed It’s necessary. If it’s in the letter, you wouldn’t want to be so blunt. Okay, since I asked a question, now it’s your turn to ask me-it’s counted as an exchange."

"You didn't mention this kind of exchange before," Gao Wen couldn't help saying, but then nodded, "Of course, since I was asked to ask questions, then I won't waste this opportunity. I do have something to ask. ask you."

"Please tell-of course, try not to involve too much sex," Bersetia said, blinking suddenly, "I have grown up after all."

Sonia, who was standing by, took a breath, almost choking herself: Who can believe that the Queen of Silver said this sentence?

The high-ranking messenger felt a little bit of cold sweat on her forehead, and even began to worry about whether she could return to the Silver Empire safely after hearing these scenes today-fortunately, she knows Belcetia and Gawain to some extent. The scene in front of me is not too weird. If someone who is even more ignorant and pessimistic stands here, I am afraid I have already buried myself at this moment...

Gawain didn’t seem to notice the movement of the high-level messenger behind him, and he didn’t care about Bersetia’s joke. He just looked at the queen in front of him seriously and asked the question he had prepared early in the morning: "I think Learn about the current state of faith in the gods of the Silver Empire—especially about the gods of nature."

Belcetia seemed a little surprised. She was taken aback and said, "That's it?"

"Is there any problem?" Gao Wen looked serious, "This is indeed my biggest concern at the moment."

"...Well, this is indeed your character," Bersetia exhaled, her expression becoming serious. "But before answering your question, I want to confirm one thing-you are before The letter mentioned that the gods will fall into chaos over time and eventually become a terrorist threat that mortals must face, and the God of War who came out of control in the Typhon-Cecile War was the first... Really?"

"It's true," Gawain said solemnly. "I know there will be many people who question this, but we have solid evidence. Thousands of soldiers on the battlefield of Winterhold are witnesses. Typhon has With detailed data records, we can also provide samples recovered from the wreckage of God of War."

"This is really sensational. I don't think anyone will suddenly believe that the gods who have been protecting this world will eventually become the root of the destruction of the world, even those who are unbelievers," Bersetia shook her head, "but no matter from reason or reason, Personally, I have to believe what you said...this is only for me."

"I know it's hard to believe, but it's determined by the rules of the world," Gawain looked into Bersetia's eyes. "If you find it hard to accept, perhaps another way of saying it can make those who are still in awe and close. People with gods are better tolerated—this tendency to lose control and madness is actually not the original intention of the gods. As I just said, this is determined by the rules of the world, and those gods... are also victims of these rules."

"It seems that you still have a lot of knowledge to share with us on this matter," Bersetia said thoughtfully. Gao Wen thought her reaction would be more intense, but the silver queen actually went from beginning to end. Maintaining a calm and indifferent attitude, it seems that even facing the secrets of the gods cannot shake her sanity, "I will learn more about all this from you later, as for now... Since you are interested in the beliefs of the gods in the Silver Empire, I will Let me tell you briefly--in terms of identity, the Silver Queen is also the highest priestess of the Druid sect. You should really ask me about this.

"As many people know, the former state religion of the Silver Empire was the Druids, and the gods believed by the Druids were the gods of nature, the deer Amon - until three thousand years ago, this belief was It is the core belief of the silver elves, and even supports the operation of the elven empire to some extent, but after the fall of the white star three thousand years ago, everything has changed. The feedback from the **** of nature disappears, the natural magic is cut off, and the druids are in During an extremely chaotic and long transformation, it split into a dozen large and small schools. Except for the Holy Spirit School, which fell into darkness in the later period, the other Druid sects have slowly become those who delve into magic and the mysteries of nature. Academic organizations, but these organizations still retain the name of "sects", and I, the highest priestess, is one of the few remaining characters in the Druid Church that can still be connected to the belief in the God of Nature. "

"I know a little bit about this," Gawain nodded. "I'm curious that for three thousand years after the fall of the White Star, the elves have been trying to rebuild their belief in the God of Nature from other symbolic goals, even There are no shortage of druid organizations that regard powerful animal spirits and forest spirits as gods and worship them...Isn't one of these groups successful in establishing contact with a certain **** and recreating the miracle of magic?"

Bersetia looked at Gawain quietly, and did not answer this question for a while. She seemed to be examining and weighing. It was not until the pressure filled the scene again that she suddenly raised her eyes and looked towards Sonia standing on the side: "High-level messenger, please avoid it."

There was a momentary surprise on Sonya’s face, but she reacted quickly in the next second. She immediately lowered her head and left the garden quietly. While she was leaving, the two people who were standing behind Bersetia were originally standing behind. The high-ranking maid also quietly disappeared into the air, and the breath quickly moved away.

Gawain immediately realized something, and he had a vague guess in his heart, but Bersetia didn't let him wait too long. After only two people were left in the garden, the silver queen smiled.

"Now we are the only ones left here-back to the question just now.

"Druid esoteric teachings, large and small, have emerged in an endless stream for three thousand years. There are always people who try to use various methods to pray to nature again, hoping to awaken the **** of nature in their hearts, you ask Is there a lucky group in me that has actually successfully communicated with a certain god? Yes, of course.

"There are secret teachings that successfully communicated with the gods and reproduced miracles similar to the natural magic of the past. Not only did they have, but also more than one."

Gawain took a breath subconsciously-he never knew about it! No one knows!

He originally asked about things casually, but he got an unexpected and shocking result!

"What happened then?" He immediately asked, "What happened to the esoteric groups?"

"I was treated as a heresy and wiped out." Bersetia said lightly.
