Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3262
Gleipnir: "In my opinion, Tunita is indeed a genius who has never been seen before or since. Because in the years when he became a prophet, he created many miracles that even future generations cannot understand. For example, the crystal shell was invented by Tunita. Over the years, regardless of the countless types of crystal shells, the core crystal shell was invented by Tunita."

"Later generations can only expand horizontally, but cannot study in depth."

It is equivalent to saying that later generations are only constantly changing the lower limit of the crystal shell, but the upper limit of the crystal shell is still created by Tunita more than 2000 years ago.No descendant of the Jingmu clan can surpass Tunita's achievements.

"Moreover, it's not just the crystal shell." Gleipne paused, and continued: "There is also the era of shining stars created by Tunita, which is also a miracle that cannot be replicated."

"Even if it's me...even my body, after seeing what Tunita did, I don't understand how he did it at all."

When Gleipnir said this, he looked at Laplace next to him.

Laplace also nodded at the right time, proving that what Gleipnir said was true.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Gleipnir sighed softly: "Why did I say that? And why did I say 'the age of shining stars' is a lie? It's because Tunita is completely different from other Jingmu people. Its thoughts have surpassed all Jingmu people, so that later generations have no way to understand it, and can only imitate it poorly."

The reason why "The Elegy of the Last Boyhood" is titled "Youth" is because all those who inherited the mantle of their predecessors in Crystal City are ignorant teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16.

No other age, perhaps a limitation of the ritual?Or in other words, only teenagers in this age group are most susceptible to the influence of ideological trends?
In short, the "boy" is the protagonist of the inheritance of the holy corpse crystal.

Whether it was the inheritance ceremony hosted by Tunita in the past, or the inheritance ceremony hosted by the Presbyterian Church later, the protagonists were teenagers of the right age.

It's just that the protagonist is the same, but the ending is different.

In the past, in the inheritance ceremony presided over by Tunita, the teenagers will receive the shade and gifts from their predecessors, not only gaining knowledge and abilities, but also improving their horizons and patterns. limit.

And the combination of countless personal limits has achieved the dazzling era of stars.

But after Tunita's death, the ceremony presided over by the Presbyterian Church had obvious deviations.

Obviously, the ceremony presided over by the Presbyterian Church is the same as the one hosted by Tunita, and it also allows the boy to obtain the inheritance of his predecessors, but there is one thing that is different: the boy who inherits the inheritance of his predecessors loses his personality and eventually becomes predecessors.

To put it simply, Tunita allows young people to inherit knowledge and abilities, but does not destroy the human nature of young people.The Presbyterian Church can also allow young people to inherit knowledge and abilities, but after inheriting the abilities, the young people will no longer be themselves, but become the predecessors who have died.

In other words, the deceased was resurrected through the body of the boy through the ritual left by Tunita.

"Backdoor rebirth?" Angel asked puzzled.

Gleipnir nodded: "That's right, it can be understood in this way... That's why this puzzle story is called "The Elegy at the End of the Boyhood"."

A group of teenagers of the right age who resonate with the crystal of the holy corpse entered the forbidden area. Under the radiance of the ceremony, they thought they could get the gift of their predecessors.However, nothing was gained, only the lament at the end of life.

Those who went in were teenagers, and those who came out were a group of returning ghosts.

This is not an elegy, what is an elegy?
When Gutales heard this, she also felt a chill rising from her back.She has a good relationship with many people of the Jingmu clan, such as Kuanda, who are even her friends.

But after listening to "The Elegy at the End of the Boyhood", she suddenly felt a little unconfident. Among the friends of the Jingmu tribe she knew, would there be a ghost who took up the body of the boy and returned to his soul?

Like Kuanda, as far as she knows, she is also a genius who became famous at a young age.Isn't this in line with the plot of being reborn through a backdoor?

Will she be a soul-returning person?

Thinking of this possibility, Gutales felt chills all over her body, feeling that everything was so absurd.

Guta Lace: "At the beginning, Tunita allowed people to obtain the inheritance without loss, why couldn't the later people do it?"

Gleipnir glanced at Gutales, and said softly: "That's why I say that Tunita is a genius who has never been seen before or since. Because he has done things that no one else can do."

"Even if I already know the content of this ceremony, I still can't understand how Tunita operates?"

"As Angel said before, you have to pay for what you get. When Tunita was alive, those teenagers only got benefits but didn't pay any price. This is a situation that even I can't figure out .”

Angel thought for a while and said, "Could it be that those teenagers had already paid the price back then, but the price was borne by Tunita or passed on to other things?"

Gleipnir: "It is possible, but there is no evidence that Tunita paid the price secretly. The only certainty is that this era of shining stars must be a false appearance, because Tunita must know , After his death, there will be no more stars shining, this is a lie he wove."

"Back to the price. On the contrary, now, if you gain knowledge and ability, you will erase your personality, which is more in line with the term 'cost'."

After hearing this, Gutales still frowned: "But the price is too high... Didn't the elders of the Jingmu clan think about stopping this behavior? It wiped out the future of the Jingmu clan."

Gleipnir sneered: "The elders of the Jingmu clan may have thought about stopping the continuation of the ceremony, but sometimes, they can't help themselves. It's like listening to the devil's whisper. Once you listen to it, it's very difficult. If you withdraw again, your desires and inferiority will skyrocket, completely suppressing your conscience and occupying an absolute high ground."

Once Pandora's box is opened, it is difficult to close.

This is human nature.

Speaking of this, Gleipnir naturally entered the next puzzle - "Old Friends Live Long".

"Why did the elders of the Jingmu clan let everything happen instead of stopping it? Because they have tasted the sweetness, because they also have...old friends."

Gleipnir paused for a moment, then looked at Angor: "You should still remember the live broadcast ceremony before."

Angor nodded.

Gleipnir: "As long as you have seen that ceremony, you should understand why the elders are unwilling to give up."

Angel knew what Gleipnir meant, but Gutales next to him had a question mark on his face: "What is the live broadcast? And what is the ceremony you are talking about? Is it a ceremony in the forbidden area? Did you go to the forbidden place?"

Gleipnir glared at Gutales angrily: "The location of the forbidden area of ​​the Jingmu tribe is completely different from the location of the gathering. Since we are gathering now, it must mean that we have not gone to the forbidden area."

Gutales: "Then what is the live broadcast ceremony you are talking about?"

Gleipnir did not speak, but looked at Angel.

The live broadcast itself is Angel's ability. Although it may not be a secret, she can't explain it on her behalf.

Angel also understood what Gleipnir meant, and took the initiative to say: "The live broadcast is just a form of performance, and Ms. Gutales doesn't need to care about it. As for the ceremony mentioned here, I have witnessed the whole process, and I am willing to share with Ms. share."

After all, Angel briefly introduced their previous experiences.

When they came, they passed by a ring fort and were cleared by Jingmu soldiers... Then, they witnessed the scene where an elder named Cassata summoned an old friend through a special ceremony.

Angel: "Because the distance was too far at the time, I couldn't see it carefully. I can only confirm that this old friend of Cassata is most likely just a conscious body, or a dead soul, and it is definitely not an entity."

Speaking of this, Angel did not continue, but Gutales also understood what he meant at this time.

Suppose, this soul or conscious body will eventually be combined with a teenager of the right age.Then erase the boy's consciousness, and let Cassata's dead friend return to the world.

Then everything can be explained.

Gleipnir: "Now you understand, it's not that the elders are unwilling to give up the ceremony, but that they themselves have a past that they can't let go of, and there is an unforgettable person hidden deep in their hearts."

"And "Old Friends Live Forever" tells a similar story."

2000 years ago.

After the Prophet Tunita died, the Council of Elders discovered that there was something wrong with the ritual left by Tunita.

At that time, some elders also thought about stopping it, and even said that the elders agreed to this plan.But when it comes to implementing it, it turns out to be very difficult.

Because the prestige of Prophet Tunita was so high that countless people have absolute trust in what he did.At this time, they wanted to refute the prophet's ideas, as if they were telling fanatics about pagan doctrines. They were not only courting death, but no one would pay for it.

And the most important point, if you want to completely exterminate this ceremony, you must destroy the wonder building at the core of the ceremony, Crystal City.

But would the elders dare to do this?
They dare not.

The entire Jingmu clan has moved into Crystal City, and it has lasted for several generations.

In Crystal City, people no longer have to worry about accommodation, food and clothing, and don’t have to worry about falling on the frozen soil. They can also meet more compatriots and establish friendly or intimate relationships.

No matter from people's livelihood, education or even the reproduction of the next generation, the existence of Crystal City is indispensable.

Now that it is said to be demolished, it will be demolished. Not only will the people not pay the bill, but the Presbyterian Church itself will not agree.

There is no way to dismantle the wonder building, and there is no way to prevent the people from incorporating the holy corpse crystal into the Crystal City, so even if the ceremony is stopped in a short period of time, there will be no great achievements.

This is already the consensus of the Presbyterian Church.

This is indeed the case, and it didn't take long for this stalemate to be broken.Moreover, it was the elders of the Presbyterian Church, or the Great Elders, who broke the stalemate.

The Great Elder didn't have any partner, and his life was very ordinary, most of his life was handed over to the Jingmu Clan.In the eyes of everyone, he is a good example of bowing and dedication.

However, the Great Elder is not without ties, he has a very close friend.

The friendship with this close friend even began when the two mothers took a bath together in Xionghu Lake before they were born.

During the hundreds of years of communication, one became the Great Elder, dealing with all matters within the Crystal City; the other became a warrior, stationed at the Mirror Gate of the Crystal Kingdom all the year round.

Although the pair of close friends took completely different paths, the relationship did not disappear because of this. On the contrary, because they were both in high positions and there were no close people around, their relationship became closer.

Almost every week, the Great Elder will communicate with his close friends on the front line through letters.

In the back and forth, the bond between them became deeper and deeper.

But also because of the deep bond, when a bad news from the front came, the Great Elder instantly felt that the world collapsed.

A mirror ghost came out of the dark mirror field and tried to invade the Crystal Kingdom. In order to protect the people of the Jingmu tribe, his best friend fought the mirror ghost in front of the mirror gate. Although he finally killed the mirror ghost, he himself was consumed. When the oil ran out, the lamp dried up and died.

After the Great Elder heard the news, he went to the front line in person and brought his best friend's holy corpse crystal back to Crystal City.

After the burial, the Great Elder spent several years in a daze.

Until one day, the Great Elder suddenly discovered that a 15-year-old boy resonated with his best friend's Holy Corpse Crystal...

"There is a more detailed follow-up to this story, but there is actually no need to go into it in depth, because when it comes to this, I believe you can guess the following plot." Gleipnir said lightly.

Guta Lace: "The Great Elder chose to let the old friend enter the body of a boy and return to the world..."

Gleipnir nodded: "That's right, it's precisely because the Great Elder initiated this ritual that this ritual, which had been sealed in name, was reactivated and continues to this day."

"The so-called "Old Friends Live Long" is such a story."

Gutales frowned: "Under the layer of beautiful friendship, there are young souls who cry out silently. No wonder, every time I come to Crystal City, Kuanda always reminds me not to mention The topic of the holy corpse crystal."

"At first I thought it was to respect the dead, but now that I think about it...it turns out it was to whitewash the peace."

Gleipnir: "Although your divergent thinking is not wrong, Kuanda's reminder is not entirely a whitewash of what you think. As your close friend, Kuanda told you this, just I just don't want you to be noticed by the giant city spirit."

Why do they have to put a barrier on the outside even if they use the psychic belt to talk, isn't it just to avoid being noticed by the giant city spirit?

The giant city spirit has long been domesticated by the elders, and will search for all the people who mention the keyword.Once you mention the Holy Corpse Crystal, it is equivalent to being on the watch list of the giant city spirit.

Once you find out that you have abnormal behavior, it is really possible to "whitewash" you.

As the spirit of the wonder building, the giant city spirit is very powerful.Moreover, building spirits has a quality that, in so far as it envelops, it can almost be called a god.

And Crystal City is the area covered by the giant city spirit.

Especially now, they are in the body of the giant city spirit.

Within the scope of Ring Fort, it is not an exaggeration to say that the giant city spirit is the supreme god.With the current state of Laplace, he is definitely not the opponent of Giant City Spirit.

Even Guta Lace couldn't turn over in the giant city spirit body.

Kuanda asked Gutalace not to mention the holy corpse crystal, but she was actually protecting her in disguise.

Gutales looked at Gleipnir: "I have a question to ask. Since you mentioned Kuanda, do you know if she is an undead who returned from the holy corpse crystal?"
