Søren moved forward in the cold wind.
Although he was sure that the Phantom Circus he encountered had some secrets, he had little interest in getting involved. Most of the time, trouble came to him, so he had to learn to restrain his excessive curiosity. The rest of the people in the Phantom Circus were easier to deal with. The only thing that Søren couldn't see through was the Elven girl and the woman in the carriage who never showed up. The thin ice on the edge of the carriage left a deep impression on Søren. The person inside seemed to have uncontrollable power.
Among all the spellcasting professions, Wizards were the ones who had the best control over the power of magic.
Then there was the Priest and the Druil. Although their power came from the gods and faith, they could control it with ease. The most uncontrollable power was the talent of the Warlock. This was also the reason why Gloria was worried that Vivian would cause great damage. They were going to the Kingdom of Arendelle, where the Princess Royal was about to ascend the throne, was also a dangerous Warlock. The more powerful and talented the Warlock was, the more dangerous it would be. It would take a long time for them to learn to control their power.
The person inside was definitely not a Wizard.
Then the possibility that she was a Warlock was more than 50%, and a powerful Warlock who couldn't fully control her power.
In contrast!
Vivian was much better at controlling her power. She almost didn't have the period of energy rampage that other Warlocks had to go through.
The Warlock's introverted personality was caused by the early energy rampage. Sometimes they even hurt people close to them because of the uncontrollable power.
Snowflakes fell from the sky.
The snow wasn't very heavy, but Søren's body was still covered with a layer of snow. He shook his cloak and the snow fell to the ground. It was almost afternoon, and he passed through a dense forest covered with snow. The road ahead gradually became more spacious, which meant that he was close to the area of human activity. There weren't many Goblins and Kobolds in the Frost Kingdom. The climate was too cold, but there were Bugbears, a creature more dangerous than Gnolls.
Those creatures were called Goblins, but their size and appearance were very different. Maybe they really had a partial bloodline.
It was very easy for subspecies to mutate!
Søren walked for about ten kilometers before he vaguely heard the sound of music. It seemed to be a sorrowful tune. He frowned and listened to it for a while before heading in the direction of the music. Camping in the wild in the Frost Kingdom was very uncomfortable because the climate was too cold. Sometimes one's body would freeze after sleeping. The temperature here was below 0 degrees all year round. Søren decided to find a human town to rest and recover, and at the same time, replenish the number of spells he had mastered.
A group of people appeared in front of him.
Most of them wore fur coats, which were the most important property of the Frost Kingdom's human families. Their hair was more exuberant, and their faces were a bit like Nordic people. They were not as diverse as the southern region. In this world, people with black eyes and black hair were very common (there were also elves). Some of the incarnations of the gods looked like this, but the people in the northern part of the continental shelf tended to have European characteristics. If it was near the desert, the characteristics of the people were more obvious. Experienced people could rely on this to judge where the other party came from.
Søren had obvious southern characteristics. His hair was black and flaxen, and his pupils were close to black-brown. Part of it was the human bloodline, and the other part was the characteristics of the elven bloodline. So when the group saw Søren, they recognized that he was not a native of the Frost Kingdom, but an adventurer from outside.
An old northerner came out. He looked at Søren and said slowly, "Outsider. Where are you going? Recently, outsiders are not very welcome here. "
Søren leaned over slightly and glanced at the bodies in the crowd. They were holding a funeral and replied, "I'm a traveling adventurer. I want to stay in a nearby town for a while. "
He glanced at the center. There were three bodies on the ground, all of which were adult men. He could not help but frown slightly and said slowly, "May their souls rest in peace. I would like to ask what exactly happened. Why do you not welcome outsiders? "
Something must have happened.
Three adult men would not die suddenly. Looking at the scale of their funeral, the dead people had some status.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then looked at the others and said slowly, "Recently, a group of evil fallen people have entered the Frost Kingdom. There is a terrible witch among them. She used magic to confuse many people. Many people have been killed. Our town is also threatened. The sheriff has closed the town and now outsiders are not allowed to come close. "
"Maybe you can try somewhere else!"
Soran frowned and took a step forward. A strong man stepped forward and put his hand on his weapon. The old man waved his hand to stop them. His rich experience told him that solo adventurers were not easy to deal with, so there was no need to provoke them directly. That was why he politely refused. Otherwise, he could have just asked someone to expel him. There had been a series of deaths in the town, and outsiders had been rejected.
Søren seemed to see something. He turned his head and said, "Can I see these bodies? Perhaps I can be of help. "
The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently.
Some of the others obviously wanted to say something. They did not seem to agree with such a desecration of the dead. The funeral had already begun, but they were stopped by the old man.
"Excuse me."
Søren pushed through the crowd in front of him and saw a woman with red eyes. She was holding two children and standing next to her. She had lost the pillar of her family, so her future would be very difficult. If she did not have a rich family property, then she could only remarry. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a woman to raise two children. Søren noticed that there was a scar on the neck of the corpse. He opened the eyes of the deceased and pressed his finger on the forehead of the corpse.
The three corpses were a little similar. They were all adult and strong men.
Their expressions were a little strange and twisted. It seemed that they were in great pain before they died, but there was a strange smile in the pain. There was a Kindler on their lips. This was a tradition close to the north. In their legends, there was a God of Death who liked wealth very much. The coins on their lips were a tribute to them.
The rich put a Kindler, the commoners put a Silver Derahl, and the poor put a Copper Derahl.
The tradition in the north believed that the souls of the dead were first collected by the God of Death, and then it was up to them to decide whether these souls would return to the kingdom of the gods or enter the River Styx.
The first recipient of the souls must be the God of Death. They were born with great power. The God of Death was one of the few divine systems that had a [Greater Divine Power]. The ancient God of Death, the [King of the Dead], the [King of the End of All Things], and the [Recorder of Death] still existed in a corner of the River Styx.
He used to be the master of the underworld, although now he had retired.
This powerful ancient God of Death was the only ancient god who had a Greater Divine Power in the past and had not fallen.
He had existed for a long time, and it was said that he had been waiting for the end of all things!
He waited for the end of the universe, recorded the final death, and completed his final mission.
…
Regarding the [Greater Divine Power] of the master level, he was also the only standard that could be clearly measured. This was because he personally separated his power and gave the divine title of death to three gods. This ancient God of Death, who was regarded as the standard of a Greater Divine Power, divided his divine power to create three [Greater Divine Power] Gods of Death, and also separated the divine title of the God of Death that covered the multiverse.
How strong was this ancient God of Death?
The information collected by Søren was not very clear. The only thing he could know was that there was a period of turmoil in the past, but it only affected the heavens and did not affect the abyss and hell. The scope of the turmoil was also very small. It was only concentrated in the material plane, and it did not affect the elemental gods and some of the ancient gods. It was a period of small-scale turmoil. During this period, the three Gods of Death joined forces to fight against nearly half of the gods in the upper plane. Although they failed in the end, the consequences had been affecting them until now.
The template of the Son of Slaughter was said to be the descendant of the God of Slaughter, one of the three Gods of Death.
And it was not the direct bloodline!
A lot of information had been lost, especially after the rise of the Arcane Empire. There was a very long gap in time, and there was a blank period of more than three thousand years in the literature record.
…
Søren remembered that there was a period of conspiracy theories that were very popular.
This was because the destruction of the Arcane Empire and the disappearance of the Greater Divine Power at the same time. After the destruction of the Arcane Empire, there was no Greater Divine Power. Some people speculated that in this struggle, one of the Greater Divine Powers lost, and so did the Arcane Empire. Only the gods in the heavens still existed.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the Arcane Empire would study the Elemental Annihilation Matter and such a terrible existence as the Neutron Star Golem!
Moreover, the last small-scale turmoil was because the Greater Divine Power gods forcibly took away the divine titles of the other gods in the heavens. Conspiracy theorists thought that this was enough to make the other gods have the idea of rebelling and even killing the Greater Divine Power gods. They also listed some of the information that the Arcane Empire had the ability to help kill the Greater Divine Power, because someone had been to the Nirvana Mechanical Mirror (Challenge Rating 25).
The conspiracy theorists also tried to speculate the truth of this turbulent period.
Unfortunately, there was no useful information because this time, not only the gods in the heavens, but also the ancient gods in the Abyss, Hell, and the Elemental Plane had all lost the power of divinity.
This time, it was obviously not something that a Greater Divine Power could do, because this time, none of the gods were spared!
It was said that the ancient God of Death, who had given up most of his divine power, was beaten down.
…
Søren lifted the clothes on the body, and this action made the others angry. Some even wanted to attack him because he directly took off the clothes of the dead body.
Clang!
Søren pulled out his curved sword and pointed it at the people who wanted to attack, and they could not help but take a step back. He frowned and looked at the wounds on the body, which were covered with hideous and shocking wounds.
Søren's face was gloomy. He used his fingers to separate the broken flesh and murmured, "Snake whip!?"
