"This book was written by Feng Burman in his later years. He was an oracle and one of the few people in the world who could understand the Divine Language. However, the Divine Language was very special. It contained a small amount of Origin Force. Even if it was just the pronunciation, it wasn't something an ordinary piece of paper could withstand. Burman tried many materials, but even stone slabs couldn't do it. So, he finally set his sights on the Holy Grimoire. "
"Wait a minute. Don't tell me the Holy Grimoire you're talking about is the original Holy Grimoire personally kept by the pope and said to be written by a god himself? Feng Burman? Burman stole that thing?! "Lolo was shocked." If the church found out about this, it would definitely cause a war. "
"Yes. So, under the persuasion of the president of the Magic Association at that time, Feng Burman secretly returned the book. Burman secretly returned the book, but this fellow secretly tore out a page when he returned it. "
"Huh?"
"Err, strictly speaking, he only tore out the last blank page. The Holy Grimoire has a total of 160,000 words. After it was written, there were still 13 blank pages. Feng Burman tore out one of these 13 pages. He wrote down the pronunciation of the Divine Language on this page, but even with this pronunciation method, no other mage could master the Divine Language other than him. Not long after, the Temple of Light discovered that one of the blank pages was missing. The church was immediately on high alert. So, the president of the Magic Association at that time placed this page in a book and placed it in the underground treasury of New Tylte. "
After the future Supreme Magus Your Honor fell out with the council, he took advantage of the time gap to retrieve this book. He learned the Divine Language from it.
As there was still a trace of the aura of a god left on the page, Rob stuck the book on the lion monster's face on the city wall. The lion monster immediately quieted down, and then obediently became a mount according to someone's command in the Divine Language.
At this point, Rob finally explained everything that happened in this trip to the four-eyed "human" world.
Lolo asked one last question. "What will happen to that world after we leave?"
"The key that Matata left behind has enough energy to open this world three times. The first time was used by Merlin, and we've used it once out of the remaining two times. The last time's energy was absorbed by Bevinadette, so it's not enough to open that world again. So … If there are no accidents, that world will sleep forever."
"The civilization of the Four-eyed People that was strong for a while really perished just like that …" the girl lamented.
"What are you thinking about?"
Holding the iron box, Lolo said, "I'm thinking about the war between the four-eyed 'people' and the gods. Was it because they succeeded in killing the gods?"
"It's not that simple." The future Supreme Magus Your Honor shook his head. "Killing the gods was just the fuse. The power that the four-eyed people possessed threatened the high and mighty gods. I'm afraid this is the root cause of their civilization's destruction. Killing the gods only made the other gods realize this. If it's purely for revenge, there's no way to explain why the gods would destroy all their writings and records after killing the people."
"The reason why you say this … is because we're now standing on the opposite side of those gods?"
"The reason why I say this is because those things stand on the opposite side of the entire human race … What's the end of a civilization? This is a question that many philosophers and bards are curious about. Now it seems that the end of a civilization is likely to be destruction. Feagan? LK? Freeman has been investigating the ruins all over the world. I'm afraid that he saw something from the history of the four-eyed people. That's why he's so terrified and desperate. "
Rob paused for a moment before continuing. "Although the four-eyed people's civilization is warlike, they're not stupid. They should be very clear about the gap between them and the gods. The decision to kill the gods may seem crazy, but it's actually their only chance. They hoped to obtain great power from the dead bodies of the gods and discover the secret of immortality. Unfortunately, they lost the gamble and failed to change the fate of the entire race."
"As long as the gods are still around, all intelligent races can't escape destruction. The stronger the civilization, the closer it is to destruction. After discovering that magic and divine power are actually of the same origin, I had some vague conjectures. After Martata explained the secret spells to me, it finally confirmed some of my previous conjectures."
"Hmm?"
"Be it magic or secret spells, they don't appear out of thin air. Have you ever thought about one question: who created these powers?"
Lolo thought for a moment. "I don't know about secret spells, but if it's magic, isn't it Roland? Or should I say, Merlin? "
However, Rob shook his head. "Roland and Merlin found a way for humans to use magic, but there were already beasts before the existence of sorcerers. During the era of the four-eyed people, the creatures that lived on the continent were collectively known as mystical beasts. So, strictly speaking, secret spells and magic weren't invented by the four-eyed people or humans. We just learned how to use them."
"Hmm, I don't understand what's the difference between this and the past."
The future Supreme Magister Your Honor sighed. "There's a big difference. If you're wandering on the street and someone suddenly stops you and tells you that I'll give you a gold coin to stop you, what will you do?"
"I'll probably happily accept the money, turn around, and leave."
"But what if you continue to walk down and actually find a treasury?" Rob said word by word, "The Force is the treasury, and the gods are the owners of the treasury. They know that this path leads to the treasury, but they don't want to share the treasury with others. So, they took out a sum of money from the treasury and persuaded people to walk the other path willingly. During the four-eyed people's civilization, they took out more gold coins, but after the deicidal incident, they realized that it was dangerous to share so many gold coins with others. So, when the human civilization came, they took out a lot less gold coins. This is why secret spells are closer to the Force than magic."
"Are you trying to say that magic and secret spells are actually a flawed power system created by the gods to prevent us from understanding the Force? But if they're really that afraid of us, why do they still provide us with power? "
