Hence, Lin Li did not hide anything from Sendros. He nodded, and said, "Yes, you might also know that when I was in the Haiga Mountain Range, I helped a few elves get rid of the poison of the Viper's descendants, and I also managed to figure out some of the characteristics of the Viper's poison. Although the Viper's poison that His Majesty Rosario was suffering from was much more difficult to deal with, fortunately, there hasn't been any special changes in the past few decades. Hence, it's still going well. "
Hearing that Lin Li had admitted that Rosario had recovered, Sendros did not show any special expression. Instead, he smiled, and said, "Do you still remember what I told you when we were in the Blackstone Mountains? Did you ask for Rosario's Sun Scepter?"
"Uh … I don't have the Sun Scepter, but I do have the Helios' Scepter." Although Lin Li was unwilling to suffer losses, he had already gained plenty of benefits from the Brilliance Shrine. Not only had he reached various business cooperation agreements, but he had also learned Holy Light Magic under Rosario's personal guidance. The Sun Scepter was not just a scepter, but also a sacred relic of the Brilliance Shrine that symbolized the supreme power of the pope. No matter how thick-skinned Lin Li was, he wouldn't dare to ask Rosario for it.
Besides, the Sun Scepter was not very valuable to Lin Li. Although it contained extremely pure and massive power of Holy Light that could greatly enhance magic, Lin Li still had the debris of the stars, Holy Light. However, Lin Li still had the debris of the stars, Holy Light. In Anril, nothing could compare to the debris of the stars in terms of the power of Holy Light.
Of course, Sendros did not know that Lin Li had a debris of the stars that was more powerful than the Sun Scepter. Hence, upon hearing that Lin Li did not ask Rosario for the Sun Scepter, Sendros shook his head regretfully, and said, "You've left a huge problem for yourself in the future."
"Huge problem? What do you mean? " Lin Li was taken aback, and he really couldn't think of what kind of trouble he would bring himself if he had asked for the Sun Scepter.
"That's why I invited you here. As the incarnation of the God of Darkness, you'll definitely have to fight Rosario one day. Rosario, who is no longer affected by the Viper's poison, will soon be able to return to the peak of his strength. Besides, he has the sacred artifact of the Brilliance Shrine, the Sun Scepter. Isn't that a huge problem? "Although Sendros said so, he sounded rather mischievous.
"Wait, Master Sendros, what do you mean? I don't understand. How could I fight His Majesty Rosario? As for that Darkness Incarnation, although I really want to be one, I'm really not. I'm just a very ordinary little mage. " Although becoming the Son of The Holy Light and the Incarnation of Darkness was equivalent to finding a towering tree for himself, he knew very well that it was all because of the debris of the stars, Gloomy Dark and Holy Light.
Indeed, be it the Brilliance Shrine or the Darkness Shrine, they would be able to do whatever they wanted in Anril. The Dark Blade had developed from a group of bandits to one of the top forces in the Breezy Plains because they had the support of the Darkness Shrine. However, that was only the case for ordinary people and forces. Lin Li did not want to be branded by any party on himself or the Tower of Dusk.
Lin Li didn't think that there was anything wrong with the current situation. The Tower of Dusk had already grown, and although it was still incomparable to the Brilliance Shrine and the Darkness Shrine, he believed that it would only be a matter of time before it reached their level as long as it continued to develop. This time, he had helped Rosario get rid of the Viper's poison that had troubled him for many years, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the benefactor of the Brilliance Shrine. Besides, he had gained plenty of benefits from the Brilliance Shrine just because of that. If he really acknowledged his identity as the incarnation of the Darkness Shrine, the good karma he had with the Brilliance Shrine would probably disappear immediately.
An ordinary little mage? Who the f * ck was he trying to fool? Even an idiot wouldn't believe him now! Sendros cursed in his heart. Although Lin Li denied it very straightforwardly, he simply smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Master Felic, did you go to the Scar of Death in the Blackstone Mountains back then?"
"Yes, but I wasn't the only one who entered the Scar of Death. There were even Judge Paladins from the Brilliance Shrine," Lin Li said, continuing to feign ignorance. No matter what Sendros said, he just wouldn't admit it.
"However, you're the only one who stepped into the Legendary-realm within a short period of time. If the others were the incarnation of the Darkness Shrine, they would definitely not be slower than you in entering the Legendary-realm. Besides, you're the only one who created the Light and Darkness Domain. That's right, right? " Sendros didn't seem to be affected by Lin Li at all, and continued to lay out his evidence step by step.
"Oh, you're talking about that?" Lin Li pretended to be enlightened, but his expression quickly changed, and he said in a regretful tone, "Don't you know that I entered the Legendary-realm when I was fighting the Lord of Darkness in the Abyss of Tharlen? When I created the Light and Darkness Domain, my understanding of the Laws of Darkness actually came from the Lord of Darkness. Besides, if I were really the incarnation of the Darkness, I should have created a pure Darkness Domain, right? When have you ever seen a Darkness mage using the Power of Light? "
"That's also one of the reasons why I made such a judgment." Looking at Lin Li smugly, Sendros said, "If it's just an understanding of the ordinary Laws of Darkness, how can it be possible to combine Light and Darkness? Only by truly mastering the purest Laws of Darkness can one unleash the inclusive characteristics of the Laws of Darkness."
"Uh, right, it's no wonder you misunderstood. It seems that I didn't make the situation clear at the time. I didn't create the Light and Darkness Domain, but the Frost Light and Darkness Domain. It's because of the Laws of Frost that the Laws of Light and Darkness were put together. It has nothing to do with the Darkness Incarnation at all," Lin Li said as he squinted and leaned against the back of the chair.
Sendros was rather patient, and didn't care about Lin Li's attitude at all. He continued, "What about now? Does the Light and Darkness Domain still need the Laws of Frost as an intermediary? Also, do you know where Zoquila took you to just now? That's the Shadow Realm that only the high priest of Darkness can enter and exit freely. Without a certain degree of understanding of the Laws of Darkness, it's impossible to get out of there. "
"So what? Since I can create the Light and Darkness Domain, I naturally have an understanding of the Laws of Darkness. What's so surprising about being able to get out of there?" Lin Li said nonchalantly.
"However, not only did you get out, but you also destroyed the Laws of the Shadow Realm. Although it's only a small part of the Shadow Realm, it's impossible to destroy the Laws without a deeper understanding of the Laws of Darkness. So, you're the Darkness Incarnation, "Sendros said as he finally threw out another piece of evidence, which was definitely irrefutable.
"Well, I came out using another method. Anyway, the Darkness Incarnation has nothing to do with me. You can say whatever you want, I'm just an ordinary mage," Lin Li said, refusing to admit it. I don't care what reason or evidence you give me, I'm just going to insist that I'm not the Darkness Incarnation.
Damn it, this kid is really stubborn! However, I can't possibly capture him and torture him to force him to admit it. Sendros finally felt a little helpless. He waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I actually invited you here this time because I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can agree to it."
"Oh? Please tell me, as long as it's not the Darkness Incarnation and it's within my capabilities, "Lin Li said as he gave himself a way out instead of patting his chest.
"What's wrong with the Darkness Incarnation? You have an extremely high status in the Darkness Shrine, and even the Darkness Council has to follow your will. I remember that you seemed to be very willing to do it back in the Blackstone Mountains, "Sendros said as he gritted his teeth. At that time, Lin Li had agreed very readily. If it weren't for the fact that he had to confirm it, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble now.
"Oh, that." Lin Li recalled that he had agreed to be the Darkness Incarnation without hesitation in order to get Sendros to help him. Although he was joking, he still couldn't help but blush at the thought of it. However, things were different now. He could help him, but not the Darkness Incarnation. Hence, he said, "I was young and frivolous back then. Now that I think about it, I really didn't know better. How could I talk about something as important as the Darkness Incarnation? I'm really sorry, Master Sendros."
"Young and frivolous …" Sendros had nothing to say in the face of Lin Li's thick skin. He had no choice but to take out the Darkness scripture, and pass it to Lin Li while explaining, "This is the supreme scripture of the Darkness Shrine. Only the chief high priest can come into contact with it. In addition to the highest magical secrets of the Darkness Shrine, there's also a paragraph left behind by the first high priest, Rogge. Take a look at it first."
This is the Darkness scripture! What did I come to the Darkness Shrine for? Wasn't it to read the Darkness scripture!? Lin Li took the thick Darkness scripture, and gently flipped open the quaint black cover. Of course, it was not the time to learn now. Lin Li first read the words left behind by the first high priest, Rogge, according to Sendros.
The first high priest of the Darkness Shrine, Rogge, was once the closest comrade of Geresco, the God of Mages, at the end of the Dark Age. He was also the most powerful mage in Anril apart from Geresco. It was said that Rogge's talent in magic was not much inferior to Geresco's. If he had continued on this path, his achievements would probably not be inferior to the God of Mages'.
However, the Tree of Eternity was pushed down by Geresco, and Rogge obtained the Darkness scripture from there. From then on, he embarked on a path that was completely different from Geresco's. At the end of the Dark Age, during the battle to overthrow the rule of the High Elves, the most famous human powerhouse was Geresco, followed by Apophis, Megard, and Rogge.
More than 1,000 years later, Geresco had long left Anril, and it was said that he had gone to the chaos of time and space to search for something. Apophis and Megard, on the other hand, had been active in Anril for more than 1,000 years as arbitrators of the Supreme Council. However, Rogge was even stronger than Apophis and Megard at that time. Logically speaking, his lifespan should definitely be much longer than theirs, even if he was immortal.
However, that was the strange part. Not long after Rogge became the first High Priest of the Darkness Shrine, about a hundred years later, there was news of his death. No one knew the cause of his death to this day, and his corpse was not even left behind. There were only a few words left in the scripture.
The importance of a Sanctuary powerhouse to a force could be seen just by looking at Pope Rosario of the Brilliance Shrine. It was precisely because of the fall of a Sanctuary powerhouse like Rogge that the Darkness Shrine fell from being able to compete with the Brilliance Shrine to the point where it almost collapsed overnight.
While recalling Rogge's deeds, Lin Li read Rogge's message in the Darkness scripture. However, it was rather strenuous to read. The words that Rogge left behind were written in many languages, including the ancient dragon language, the ancient demon language, the High Elves language, and so on. What was worse was that there didn't seem to be any sort of order to it at all. All the words were arranged in a mess, and it gave Lin Li a headache just by looking at it.
Lin Li looked at it carefully for a while, and finally had no choice but to raise his head to look at Sendros. Even though he had learned a lot of words in the Book of Eternity, he felt that it would be a difficult task to figure out the meaning of the text. However, the Darkness scripture had been in the Darkness Shrine for such a long time, and the Darkness Shrine had probably never stopped studying it. Hence, why should he torture himself?
However, when he saw that Lin Li was looking at him, Sendros smiled bitterly, and said, "Although we have been studying this text for more than 1,000 years since the fall of High Priest Rogge, we only managed to find some words that can't be connected even if we dissect the characters and study them one by one."
However, even so, Sendros still took the Darkness scripture and placed it on the table. He then reached out to point out the text to Lin Li, and explained, "This sentence should be about the Tree of Eternity. This phrase is simpler. It's about the Immortal King, and this is about the day … the Master of Darkness … stepping on his throne. This is more complicated, and it's about the path to the big crack, and then …"
After listening to Sendros' stuttering explanation, Lin Li shook his head, and said, "Master Sendros, what exactly do you need my help with?"
"We haven't made much progress in the study of other words, but we've made some discoveries about this big crack recently. After combining all kinds of information, we discovered that be it the fall of the first high priest Rogge or the disaster of the Darkness Shrine hundreds of years ago, they all seemed to be related to the big crack mentioned in this message.
