Chapter 306 Blasphemer (2)
When it comes to the subsequent plot, these two chapters are difficult to write, and the setting of Leorick's strength is also very confusing.
=====
For the living, becoming a dead soul is a very painful thing. In order to obtain a longer life, a dead soul can no longer be regarded as purely living. Their world is chaotic, without senses, and cannot enjoy it - they still retain all the human race, but they can no longer do anything.
The only trace of their existence is that they are still alive and have nothing but that.
We have no way of knowing whether Grand Duke Leoric regretted this choice after becoming a lich. However, as far as I know, Grand Duke Leoric spent all his subsequent life against the divine power.
Only the most persistent person can endure the pain that ordinary people cannot bear and accomplish great things that ordinary people cannot accomplish.
Grand Duke Leoric was unable to overthrow all the gods in the end. On this lonely road, he could only fight alone, without helpers or partners. The gods united to fight Leoric because of their awe and fear of him, and his failure was foreseeable.
That history has completely lost its record. God would not allow such a shameful history to exist in the world. They do not want anyone to receive any encouragement or instigation in the story of Riorick, nor do they want the second Riorick to appear. Therefore, what happened between Grand Duke Riorick and the gods in the second half of the Desolate Era is completely unexplainable.
But there are still many things that can be judged from some details.
The most obvious thing is that before the desolate era, there were a large number of gods. The stone tablets enshrined in the Creation Temple were full of names on them. Many gods even did not even have their own clergy. The gods were fighting fiercely for a good clergy or fighting.
But after the desolate era, Grand Duke Riorich had cleared the gods almost the same, leaving only those gods who escaped by unity and resistance, as well as gods who were busy doing their own things and were not interested in participating in the struggle for power in the world - such as Evans and Fiona.
A large piece of stone tablets enshrined in the stone slab of the Temple of Creation was empty, and many gods had to hold multiple priests, such as the famous Prince of Lies, Cirik. In addition to lies and spies, he is also the god of shadows and assassins - and even to this day, there are no more than twenty gods who can call names.
Grand Duke Leorick is obviously the main reason.
Some people say that Grand Duke Leoric is dead. I think this is purely nonsense. In order to rule the world absolutely forever, Leoric does not hesitate to transform into the dead and slaughter the gods. How could a person like him not leave a way out for himself?
Moreover, it is hard to imagine a life like Leorick that can make him die. Death is a very serious word and cannot be used casually on such a legendary mage. Leorick has a million ways to stop his own death, and each method has a million different choices.
The most important thing is that no matter what, Leolic is a lich, and Lichs have their own life guardian box. Only by destroying the life guardian box can it be said that they have truly killed this lich. Obviously, Leolic carefully preserved his life guardian box, and the gods did not find this life guardian box.
This means that one day Leoric will be resurrected, becoming stronger and more unstoppable.
However, it has been more than 800 years since the Desolate Era, and Riorick's Lifeguarding Box has never appeared. The famous Riorick's Lifeguarding Box has become a legend, a legend that all legendary wizards yearn for. There is no doubt that whoever can get this Lifeguarding Box will be able to obtain the inheritance of the Grand Duke and become a new magic god.
I doubt it, and the obvious opinion is that Grand Duke Leoric is definitely not a person who is willing to be lonely. He hides in a dark corner, raising his energy and perseveres. However, once he has the chance, he will never be stingy with letting himself be discovered by a powerful mage. The only explanation is that this life guard box falls into the hands of an extremely powerful and clear-headed strong man. This strong man understands what the guy in the life guard box means to this world once released, so he forcibly suppresses Leoric and does not give Leoric a chance, otherwise he will not be able to explain the fact that the life guard box has not appeared once for more than 800 years.
But who is qualified to suppress Leorick—even if it’s just a life guard—for hundreds of years?
There are only a handful of people with such qualifications, and if you have such ability, it is easy to destroy this life guard box.
Of course, maybe people thought too much. Grand Duke Leoric's life guard box had long been found and destroyed by the gods, but I cannot agree with this statement at all, because if history is really like this, then the gods would not be stingy and hype about the fate of Leoric. In fact, this history was erased, which shows that Leoric must have escaped wisely.
That's all I know about Riorik's Big Box.
Muric Shako was recorded in the Twilight Age, the second Monday in December 132.
The monk Shake's "History of Magic" is the most comprehensive book of Riorick's credible records. There are some other books that record sporadic information about Riorick. The information of the desolate era is tampered with by the gods. Even though the scholars have the instinct to distinguish the truth, in the Wangli Magic Library, facing a large number of historical books, Yang Hai is still very difficult to find.*
In addition to "History of Magic", there are also records of a few words in "Guide to the Stars".
"He longs to be a person like Grand Duke Riorik, and he knows clearly what he wants to do, even if he faces the whole world alone."
"The origin of the legend about the life-protecting box is no longer verified. But you must know that since all legends become legends, they must be true. As long as those who get Riorick's life-protecting box can be recognized by the great master, they can obtain the magic inheritance of the great master. That is different from any magic in the world. The great master's inheritance is a blasphemer, and the blasphemer is a rampant and unscrupulous mage. When it comes to inseparable swords and guns and uninvasive water and fire, people's first reaction is often ridiculed, but no one has ever thought about it. Once a mage who is inseparable swords and guns and cannot invade water and fire in this real world, what a terrible thing is."
"He led his servants on the way to find Riorick's life-protection box. He believed that Riorick's life-protection box had never appeared for hundreds of years. He must have been suppressed in a top-secret place, perhaps the hinterland of the ever-freezing glacier, perhaps the abyss of the big cracks. Perhaps it was a temple that cursed the plateau, or perhaps the gap in the Milju Canyon, who knows? He is already crazy..."
After working hard at the desk for a night, Yang Hai rubbed his sleepy eyes and stretched his waist and asked, "Leolic, are these historical records true?"
Leorick laughed and said, "You want to know what happened so much, why don't you just ask me?"
"Because I can't believe you." Yang Haiman said carelessly: "I want to know almost everything, so... Grand Duke Leoric, I'm really curious. Did anything happen to you and my Lord God when you slaughtered the gods? Or according to what the book says, you have not had any conflicts."
"Your Lord? Oh, you mean Evans." Leorick said lightly: "Evans, there is a little problem with history. I actually fought Evans. Evans is very strong. None of us can do anything to each other. He doesn't want to participate in this world, so I don't need to pay attention to him. Don't you believe me?"
"This is an insignificant message. I just use it to satisfy my curiosity." Yang Hai shrugged. "I'm still very curious. You have killed so many gods, but from my understanding, too powerful creatures cannot appear in the main plane..."
"Why do you think that too powerful creatures cannot appear in the main plane?" Riorick's tone was extremely arrogant.
“…Isn’t this a rule?”
"Have you never thought about what law restricts these gods from entering and leaving the main plane?" Leorick snorted.
"I don't know when it starts. The God of Creation has limited this law-"
"Absurd!" Leoric was furious: "These despicable villains have indeed tampered with history. The Creator God has never done anything except to arrange priestly stone tablets in the temple. It has disappeared for many years. I have created desolate laws for the main plane, so that the gods cannot enter in their original form. I am protecting my own territory and resisting the invasion of the gods and the demons of the Batto hell. They actually pushed the credit on the Creator God!"
Yang Hai was immediately shocked.
"This... can mortals create laws by themselves? Didn't the laws come with the birth of this world-"
"Nonsense." Leolic said disdainfully: "Are you really a erudite? What do you think is a realm? When a mage uses a realm, of course, he will change the laws in the realm accordingly, otherwise what is the use of the realm? I am just strong enough to change the laws of this world. Of course, that change did seriously damage my vitality. At that time, I was chased into a dead end, and there was basically no hope. I cannot rule this world, and of course I will not let my enemies succeed. So I created this law at the cost of being a slept for hundreds of years despite the protection of the life-protecting box."
Yang Hai was speechless. It turned out that this was the real history.
Then this guy, Leorick, is really outrageous. I don’t know whether it is a good or a bad thing for his life protection box to fall into his hands.
It is conceivable that this life protection box will definitely cause you a lot of trouble, but if you can get even a little benefit from it, it will definitely be enough for you to benefit endlessly.
Leorick continued, "Incompetent boy, I'm really a little curious about you. Calderon's strength is still a little bit. The prophet Tidria is a wise man who can set me a trap. One of them chose you as an apprentice, the other chose you to possess, and you also raised a dragon - I really don't understand, what qualifications do you have to attract the favor of so many strong people? I rarely do you have to understand."
"Aren't you letting the life guard box recognize the master?" Yang Hai retorted.
Leorick had nothing to say for a moment.
"I was forced to do nothing!" Leolic was a little angry and embarrassed: "I have been sleeping for enough years, I am already enough to wake up, but I lack a key and an opportunity, just at that time. You are guiding the energy of death. In order to wake up, I made the life guardian recognize the master - this is purely your luck, do you understand?"
"My luck has always been very good." Yang Hai had no choice but to say that. Of course he couldn't say that this was a game. All of this was obtained by me step by step. NPC wouldn't hear such words.
"What is the value of your thing besides being able to protect my life when you are about to die?" Yang Hai took out his life protection box and put it in his palm to observe carefully. "By the way, don't always think about turning me into a dead soul."
"You can't do this after you recognize the master. You can disobey orders after you recognize the master, but you can't command the master. You don't understand this common sense!" Leorick said contemptly: "What can my life guard box do? Humph, my life guard box can do more, and my inheritance will be recorded in it, but with your low strength, you won't be able to use it in this life."
Yang Hai was used to being despised by NPCs, just as he could not hear Leorick's sarcasm: "Does it be necessary to become a blasphemer?"
"Isn't this nonsense?" Leorick said impatiently: "If you don't become an undead, can you bear the backlash of magic? The two spells' energy will die."
"It seems that I have no hope in this life, and you have no hope in this life." Yang Hai said gloatingly.
"What's the big deal?" Leorick didn't care: "Looking at your ridiculously weak, you don't seem to be able to live for more than a hundred years. Anyway, the most difficult awakening has been completed. At worst, I will go and find my own way to resurrection when you die. I am very patient."
"It's up to you." Yang Hai shrugged.
"I'm hungry, go and find the energy of death." Leorick ordered.
"What benefits can you give me?" Yang Hai was too lazy to say anything and asked bluntly.
"Benefits? Joke, what can I not give you the great king-" Leolic choked when he said this, because he realized that he could not bring any benefits to the guy in front of him. The blasphemer must become the undead to inherit it. Before he became the undead, he relied on the secret method of rampant in the world and was not something that this weak and dying guy could learn.
"Since there is no benefit, I will continue reading." Yang Hai yawned. Leolic's task should not be what he can do now, but it doesn't matter. As long as you have patience, you can discover it sooner or later.
Leorick was a little unwilling to give up and said quickly: "If you have no things you can use at all, that's not the case. Among the secret techniques I have mastered, there is a secret technique I tried when I was three years old, but because it was too weak, I was too lazy to continue. Maybe you can barely use it? I'm not sure, this may be a bit difficult for you?"
Yang Hai was still so angry that he couldn't stand it: "Cowhi is not so bragging, three years old? Can you cast spells when you are born?"
Leorick said in surprise: "Did you not cast spells when you were born? Oh my God, how did you become a erudite?"
