Great Elf Sage

After passing layers of guards and checkpoints, Henry VI came alone to the door of a great hall located deep underground in the center of Forrester. .biqugev

This is the location of the ‘Key of Destiny’ guarded by the Parliament of Destiny for generations - the ‘Hall of Destiny’.

The obsidian door of the underground palace is about four or five people high. It is covered with rough reliefs. The content seems to be the story of the time when the ancient races ruled the earth before the True Spirit War. The huge stone ring on the door is also three people high. At such a height, it doesn’t look like it can be used by humans...

After confirming that the mechanisms at the passages behind him were locked and that no one else followed, Henry VI closed his eyes in front of the black stone gate, clasped his hands with his fingers on his forehead, called out the 'Seal of Destiny' in his heart, and used Some ancient language recited a mantra:

"Look at the past in chaos, and write the future in nothingness."

As Henry VI meditated and chanted, the outline of the destiny mark in his mind became clearer and began to glow mysteriously, and a golden shimmer gradually emerged from the gaps between the reliefs on the obsidian door.

The obsidian door slid open to both sides with a rumbling sound, revealing a deep and dark huge space inside. Henry VI walked in, and the obsidian door quickly closed again.

After a few faint clicks of the mechanism were heard, groups of blue flames lit up in the darkness, illuminating this huge space.

This is a circular hall with a very high dome. The surrounding walls, floor and dome are all made of huge obsidian made of the same material as the door. Obsidian square pillars connected to the dome form a circle and wrap around the hall. In the middle is a huge obsidian platform with the same proportions as the door knocker.

Henry VI walked straight to the obsidian high platform in the center of the hall. Golden shimmer emitted from the gaps between the stone slabs he walked under his feet, forming an irregular 'road' composed of luminous lines.

Each step of the stone steps on the obsidian platform is nearly half a person tall, and the span is extremely large. The entire hall does not look like a human creation from the inside out.

Fortunately, in addition to the special extraordinary profession of 'Councillor of Destiny', Henry VI himself was also a powerful second-level mystic.

Reciting in a low voice and arousing the ether in the sea of ​​consciousness, Henry VI floated onto the high platform with a slight leap.

On the high platform, a short obsidian pillar with a complex geometric structure is suspended in the center of the high platform. Regular curves and straight lines of golden light spill out from the surface of the stone pillar. Golden runes showing simple geometric shapes are placed one after another. They constantly appear in the air and disappear quickly.

This obsidian dwarf pillar is the connection point between matter and origin, and the key for mortals to contact destiny - the key to destiny!

But Henry VI, who was looking at the Key of Destiny at this time, did not have the sense of security and the sense of accomplishment of controlling the fate of all living beings when he looked at it in the past.

I saw that the Key of Destiny was covered with a misty golden color that was incompatible with the light it emitted, and there was a faint hint of dark red firelight flashing from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Henry VI's eyes were wide open and he was sweating.

The emergence of runes on the Key of Destiny is a phenomenon that can only occur with 'revelation', 'announcement', and 'appointment'; and the emergence of unseen anomalies on the Key of Destiny is an unprecedented event.

"It just so happened that there was an unexpected situation in Zero Two's 'Judgment Appointment' and there was no one to succeed the prophet. Now this situation has happened again... What happened? This misty golden feeling... is the God of War Ateus. ? And this fourth prophecy without any warning... Damn it, I alone can’t decipher the message of the Key of Destiny!”

Even as the successor of this generation of the eternal guardian family of the Key of Destiny, this kind of event that has never appeared in the records is not something that Henry VI can decide and solve alone. So after he sorted out the situation a little, he decided through consciousness The 'Seal of Destiny' in the sea connected with the seals of the remaining eleven members, transmitting an urgent summons message.

Within half a day, the other members of the council came to the Destiny Hall from various passages.

"This! This time the 'revelation' and 'notice' have already appeared. What is this..."

"...Is it a 'judgment appointment'?"

"No, the ruling appointment will appear after the 'revelation' and before the 'announcement'. This time it is obviously another independent message of the Key of Destiny..." Henry VI emphasized the specific situation of the 'adjudication appointment'.

"Are you trying to say that Zero Two has not completely returned to his destiny and still retains himself!"

"This is absolutely impossible! Before the parliament formed a standardized system, all those who tried this were completely swallowed up by fate without exception..."

"But... this feeling seems to be very similar to the description of the God of War in the records..."

"No matter what, we have to interpret the information this time before we talk!"

Everyone quickly made a decision, so after standing in a certain predetermined position around the Key of Destiny, they closed their eyes, intertwined their hands and put them under their drooping foreheads, and began to recite incantations in unison. :

"Behold all the past in chaos, write all the future in nothingness, between reality and illusion, fate will last forever."

Twelve golden engravings lit up on the obsidian high platform under their feet, and regular golden straight lines and arcs overflowed from the twelve engravings, intertwining into a complex three-dimensional rune above the Key of Destiny - this It is the Seal of the Seer's destiny.

This ceremony is a ceremony that allows the successor who has been appointed by the 'Judgment' to inherit the seat of the 'Prophet' with the approval of the Key of Destiny. It can also be used as a ceremony to interpret the 'Notice' when there is a gap in the Seer.

At this time, the hearts of the twelve Destiny Councilors were empty, and all their emotions and thoughts were suppressed to a minimum that was almost nothing when they faced the vastness and greatness of fate.

Whispers rang in their ears and pictures flashed in their minds.

In a small town, a boy swung a ball of fire in his hand... the Great Forest of Ruin, the battle between heavy swords and sharp spears, and the figure of a giant dragon... beside a battlefield, on the top of a hill, wearing a uniform with different components. A strange, tall man with heavy armor...

The scene finally freezes into a scene of a tall man flashing by, and the whispers in his ears are completely covered by the sounds of fighting, horns, and shouts of war.

The tall man in the picture is holding a long black sword with dark red magma flowing, and he is slashing towards the other end of the picture. The majestic and sacred misty golden light and dark red flames seem to span a long distance in space and spread to The screen comes this way.

A voice like thunder sounded throughout the hall:

"The majesty of God should be above all else, and fate and living beings must prostrate themselves under the majesty of God and bathe in God's light!"

As soon as the words fell, the twelve Destiny Councilors withdrew from the ceremony. The Seer's mark above the Key of Destiny was instantly shattered, and streaks of misty golden light and dark red flames descended into this space following the mysterious connection.

The Destiny Councilors hurriedly used their own methods to deal with this sudden attack, but the two most junior councilors were enveloped in golden light and flames before they could react, and soon turned into bones amidst screams. .

The remaining ten councilors finally withstood the aftermath of the God of War's attack, but they were still in a state of embarrassment. Even the hoods covering their faces were lifted up in the chaos, revealing their true appearance.

Henry VI, who was the most powerful, was also the most calm. After taking a few glances at these familiar and unfamiliar 'colleagues', he found that they were basically old acquaintances, and two of them were even 'lovers' at the morning meeting.

At this time, everyone no longer had the sense of ritual as before, and they were too lazy to cover their faces. Ling San even cursed angrily:

"Damn it! Never before, never in these hundreds of years! A mortal dared to defy fate... Arteus, it's him again! This sinner who claimed to be a god actually dared to kill two great councilors of fate. !”

Rei San is very passionate about the seat of the prophet, and he is also very committed to his identity as a member of the Destiny Council.

Henry VI was very much in favor of his finance minister. As the heir to the guardian family of the English royal family, he was more convinced than anyone else of the supremacy of destiny, so he was extremely dissatisfied with Ateus's attitude.

Zero Five looked like a middle-aged woman whose identity was unknown. She said with a serious face:

"I propose that the fact that 'Ateus, the god of war, must be hostile' should be included as one of the first prerequisites for parliamentary activities."

Henry VI nodded and said:

"A mere mortal dares to pretend to be a god in the face of fate, and even makes arrogant remarks about being above fate. I propose that on top of the zero proposal, add Ateus and its affiliated forces to the list of enemies that need to be excluded. Hit this one!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

……

In the open space of the main hall, Nolan and Anjin's figures were hidden under a magic spell called "Existential Isolation" derived from the "Pan-Magic Sensing Technique", and they quietly watched the scene in front of them.

In Nolan's hands, a magic spell that transferred some fate information of the clone deep in the Ruin Forest to the obsidian high platform in the center of the hall was quietly disappearing.

……
