c691 Legend
Yesterday’s giant ship is an extremely transcendent force. According to legend, it has housed geniuses from various timelines. Many famous figures have mysteriously disappeared, and it is said that they can all be related to this force.
But legends are just legends, just like aliens. Many people say that they exist, and the descriptions are also detailed, but most of them are just speculative.
After all, it is an existence that can travel through the long river of time.
The Elector is also an extraordinary person. He knows very well what this existence means. Even the gods cannot do this.
“If you must have a proof, it’s okay, Lord Elector, please look up.”
The translucent figure slowly stretched out his finger and pointed to the dome.
Amidst the changing wind and clouds, the Elector suddenly saw a huge, indescribable giant slowly passing through the long river of time, like an elegant giant whale, leaving behind a series of stunning and magnificent pictures wherever it passed.
Crusades, Hundred Years War, Wolf Clan Civil War, Dragon War, Song and Jin Dynasties, Ming and Yuan Dynasties.
Desolate desert, vast grassland, towering Theodosian Wall and towering towers
Iron cavalry charging, people neighing and horses neighing.
Volcanoes erupting, seas surging.
The shining knight, the tyrant bathing in blood, the wolf assassin holding double blades, flying like dancing, the evil ghosts in the East, the fairies in the book
And the last scene, the candle knight riding a dragon.
Viviana’s expression was a little excited. She bit her lips lightly. There was longing and yearning in her eyes, and there was also a desire to get her father’s approval-she could not only be a tool for marriage.
After a long time, all the strange phenomena disappeared.
The housekeeper who pushed the door open was about to ask something when he saw the Grand Elector coldly say: “Go out, no one should come in.”
He took a deep breath and tried to calm down from the shock. He was somewhat certain about Losa’s identity: “Then, Captain. How do you plan to carry out the cooperation you just mentioned?”
Lothar said in a relaxed tone: “We can sign a contract. In the future, when you need it, my crew and I will come to fulfill the contract – maybe you may not need it that day, but this contract can be left to your descendants.”
The Grand Elector’s expression did not move, but Losa could clearly sense that the mighty force that was originally focused and alert, like a mountain torrent ready to go, had stagnated a little – the old man had already prepared for a desperate battle.
He fell into deep thought. If it was a deal that could be passed down as a boost to the family’s heritage, this deal would not be a big loss.
Although Germany still has states of all sizes, including Saxony, Bavaria, the Rhine Confederation, Württemberg, Baden, and Hesse.
But this does not mean that the old Emperor Franz really has no means at all. In the Imperial Parliament, the autonomy of each state is being continuously reduced, first the financial power, diplomatic power, and then the military power.
This generation is still okay, no one can guarantee that the crown of the Hohenzollern family will not fall into dust in the future.
And, if it is really like what the so-called “captain” said, he seems to have no room for conditions.
“What kind of contract is okay?”
“I’m afraid not.”
Lothar shook his head, and a ray of golden light condensed into a parchment contract in his hand: “The content must be agreed upon by both parties, and you will not suffer any loss, but we also have our own bottom line.”
This transaction seems to be a loss for me, but in fact it is just adding a copy of the combat record that I can participate in at any time in the future. Anyway, the elite of the followers cannot do without this.
This deal can make Viviana, a new partner who helped him a lot in the simulated battle, feel at ease. In Losa’s opinion, this deal is actually a profit.
“It’s better to be cautious when signing a contract.”
The Elector said meaningfully: “Just like the big chin of the Habsburg family, the Ottomans did not defeat the Habsburgs, the French did not defeat the Habsburgs, but they eventually lost to the blood curse.”
The Habsburg family in this world is now a branch of Lorraine, and the main branch has been extinct.
Even so, didn’t Ferdinand I, who suffered from mental illness and epilepsy, and Crown Prince Rudolf, who suffered from depression, and other descendants who insulted the royal dignity?
In addition, it is said that the blood of Queen Victoria is also said to have inherited the terrible blood curse, but these are just speculations among the people, but the Elector would never dare to bring it to the table.
After all, Queen Victoria is the grandmother of Europe, and the involvement is too wide.
“Blood curse. That’s an interesting theory.”
Losa smiled. This was probably caused by inbreeding, but he couldn’t say for sure whether it was related to the blood curse in this world. He might as well not show off his experience in his previous life.
“I can understand your caution, Lord Elector, but I have to say that you are really overthinking it. After the contract is agreed upon, you can choose to sign or not, or even wait until it is necessary to sign your name or the name of your descendants.”
Losa paused and said, “There is no unbreakable country in this world, no family that will prosper forever, and no crown that will not fall to the ground. So far, no monarch who desires eternal life has really succeeded. Even the oldest dynasties will have their twilight years, but yesterday’s giant ships will last forever.”
The power of time
For the first time, the Elector felt his own insignificance. He was silent for a long time and sighed weakly: “At this point, I don’t seem to have any room for objection.”
Encountering a legendary existence like yesterday’s giant ship was something the Elector never expected, which greatly disrupted his original plan.
Looking at it now, this doesn’t seem like such bad news.
It is a good thing for the Hohenzollern family to be involved with such a transcendent and mysterious force as yesterday’s giant ship. It is not surprising that their daughter will become “rebellious” after experiencing such a scenery and experiencing such a life. excusable.
Thinking of this, his face brightened slightly: “Then, Your Excellency, Captain, let’s discuss the contents of this contract.”
…
“Cunning old thing.”
Lothar, who regained consciousness from yesterday’s giant ship, couldn’t help but sigh.
The two had a long discussion about the contents of the signed contract.
Although he didn’t lose anything, he didn’t want to be taken advantage of. However, after this operation, his intimacy with Vivianna got to a new level.
“What’s wrong?”
Prajna, who was cleaning the sheets next to him, asked.
“Our new companion encountered some difficulties, so I projected my consciousness through this card.”
Lothar explained.
His current strength is not what it used to be, and he has gradually gained some clues about the true nature of the so-called “system”. Although it is still like a blind man feeling an elephant, he has been able to explore many new functions.
“Prajna, please help me call everyone. As usual, we will hold a welcome ceremony.”
As he spoke, he subconsciously frowned.
The two looked at each other, walked out of the room one after another, jumped up to the roof, and looked to the west.
It was dusk at this time, and the sky in the distance was a warm orange color. In the sky, there were countless translucent souls, like tornadoes blowing on the sea, heading towards the Saracen camp.
In the Saracen camp.
Mountains of stones and wood, following the incantation of the legendary spellcaster in black robes, were suspended in the air, pieced together to form a huge furnace, like a giant chimney that could lead to the sky, billowing black smoke.
Adil looked at this scene with a sense of wonder in his heart.
Is this the power possessed by so-called “legendary” spellcasters?
Compared with gods, what’s the difference?
If he had not inquired earlier and learned that he did not have the talent of a spell caster, he would sometimes have the urge to leave everything behind and devote himself to the occult.
The spell casters on the advisory group were also amazed. The dissatisfaction that was still hidden in their hearts has all disappeared – even if they relied on an ancient artifact to break through to the legend.
That is still a legend, a realm that is unattainable and coveted by them.
The young assassin who owned the King-Slaying Reversal Blade couldn’t help but asked curiously: “Teacher, the soul furnace is ready. What exactly do you want to refine?”
He was also a member of the caster advisory group invited by Saladin, and he had previously learned that his new teacher’s attainments in alchemy were not very high.
This is not something that is difficult to say. Every spellcaster has his own main area of research, as well as several areas of secondary research.
No one is an all-rounder. Lack of energy is one of the reasons, and too few research materials are also one of the reasons. Many ancient magic books are written in various unpopular, uncommon, and even extinct languages. Even if there are classics, I don’t think so. Maintaining the legacy remains difficult.
These ancient spells are most likely evil. After all, no one can expect that most of the ancient civilizations that still have “human sacrifice” can have “human rights” in this regard.
Orthodox spells are passed down systematically not because they are “just”, but because they have no backlash or have minor sequelae, rather than relying on moral constraints.
If you really had to sacrifice 1,800 lives to become a legend, even a relatively lawful witch like Anna might not be able to resist doing this.
Shemaier is surrounded by wedge-shaped clay tablets. These artifacts are said to have recorded the spell books of an entire civilization. After he entered the legendary realm, their originally hidden power was gradually revealed.
Shemeier glanced at the young assassin and ordered: “Bring those dragon beasts that you have tamed before.”
The assassin was slightly startled, then realized something, and asked: “You…are the dragon beasts you asked me to tame before, want to fill this furnace?”
“Otherwise, do you expect them to threaten enemy spellcasters?”
Shemaier looked indifferent. Although there were more than ten dragon beasts such as the desert rock dragon that he had tamed before, most of them were low-level dragons, and there were only a few medium-sized dragons. He wanted to find them in a short time. It is too difficult to tame the sleeping high-level dragon.
Some ancient dragons that have been dormant for a long time are even as powerful as legends. Even if they have wedge-shaped clay tablets, there is no way they can be tamed without spending more than ten years of planning and planning in advance.
“Since they are not strong enough, it is better to invest in this melting pot. If they cannot tame the high-level dragon, I will create a high-level dragon with my own hands.”
He murmured softly, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.
This is the creation of a high-level dragon!
For the vast majority of “Dragonology” scholars who have a lifelong pursuit of seeing a high-level dragon with their own eyes, once they are allowed to do it, it will be a supreme honor.
After all, that is the exclusive domain of the Creator.
