To be honest, Lorissa's description lacked reference value. A vast and distorted consciousness, and only a few glimpses of light and shadow could be observed from the edge of it. A novelist could come up with at least 10,000 explanations for this description. Of course, Hao Ren did not intend to figure out what the elf queen's clone had seen from these words. He only needed to be sure of one thing: the goddess' oracle that came to this planet 10,000 years ago was 100% false.
Because he had crucial witnesses: Muru, Lemendusa, and Eve. These people who had personally experienced the deicidal war could testify that the goddess of creation had never sent such a weird oracle. Even if the testimony of the guardians was unreliable, Hao Ren could rule out the possibility of the goddess of creation's oracle based on his understanding of the true God. The true God did not need to interfere in the evolution of mortal civilization in this way because it was unnecessary and harmful. And with the level of development of the magic civilization in Holletta at that time, it was certainly not enough to attract the attention of the goddess of creation.
"Do you think that 'consciousness' has something to do with the Mad Lord?" Vivian glanced at Hao Ren and asked in a low voice.
"The Mad Lord has no 'consciousness', but it's hard to say what it extends. We have seen a Lockmarton, and no one knows if there will be another infected supernatural creature lurking in the depths of the universe. For the magic empire at that time, they could not distinguish the subtle differences between the supernatural powers. As long as the impersonator got one or two items of the goddess of creation, the mage emperors would definitely be fooled. "
"The question is, what's the point of this scam?" Lily had seen enough of the scenery outside, and at this time, she also joined in the conversation. "Such a big fanfare, and even made a fake oracle to collude with the treacherous children, just to cheat the mage emperors of a few years of funding? The demon hunters they created may be powerful and have touched the edge of divine power, but compared to the deicidal war, it's still not enough. "
Lily's question was also on Hao Ren's mind. He frowned and instinctively felt that the truth of the scam had been revealed. Under the fog, the scam itself had transcended the biochemical experiments and the demon hunters that were born along with the experiments. 'Creating a perfect life' was probably just the tip of the iceberg. The real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes was far greater than that.
And it was highly likely to be related to an unsolved mystery of the deicidal war.
"Who taught you the runes in the central laboratory?" Vivian suddenly asked. "Did a third party contact you?"
"No," Lorissa shook her head. "Those runes are knowledge that came with the oracle."
"Ah? Runes were taught to you by the Goddess of Creation? " Lily suddenly widened her eyes and jumped up. "Do you know what those runes are for?"
Hao Ren held down Lily, who was a little too excited. Lily was certainly not indignant, but probably looking for an opportunity to howl. After all, barking was prohibited in the Royal District. "The runes were created by the deicidal race to fight against the Goddess of Creation, but those deicidal race should not be able to simulate the oracle of the Goddess of Creation. This requires not only combat power, but also theological knowledge. According to my understanding of those deicidal race, they should not have cracked the divine power to this level."
Lorissa was stunned and speechless for a long time. A few minutes later, she sighed faintly. "It's a big lie. The proud magic empire has been fooled for so many years."
"I thought you would be a little angrier," Vivian said, curling her lips. "Look at you now, you don't look like a mage emperor at all."
"I am not … Well, occasionally when the memory 'flares up', I do confuse myself a little, but most of the time, I still know who I am," Lorissa said with a faint smile. "And what's the use of anger? Ten thousand years have passed, and I have to think about where I should go. I don't have the time to argue with those ancient people."
The carriage shook slightly, and the wheels had crossed the famous red rock road in front of the Royal District. Through the window, Hao Ren saw the towering outer wall of the palace had appeared not far away and was gradually falling over the carriage. They were passing through the gate of King Mhoren, and the old king had been waiting for a long time.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Hao Ren asked.
"The first step is to figure out this era, and then find a way to survive. It should not be difficult. After that, I may try to find the kingdoms established by the descendants of the elves. Although the Kingdom of Holletta is also a place where many races coexist, I think it is more convenient for the elves to live with the elves," Lorissa said faintly. Lorissa said faintly. There was neither expectation nor panic in her tone. It was as if she was just planning a short trip.
"Ah, a good plan," Hao Ren said, raising his eyebrows. "But first, you should think about how to negotiate with the king inside. He may not want a person like you to become an uncontrollable factor."
Lorissa's eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh? Are you saying … that the human king here intends to 'keep' me here? "
"Maybe not directly force you to stay, but I think the king will not want you to swagger out and get out of his sight." Hao Ren smiled. "The same should be the case in the Elven Kingdom. As far as I know, the elves are far from being a race of saints."
Although Lorissa was not the real mage empress, she was also a smart person. She quickly understood what Hao Ren meant, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face.
"A 'mage emperor' from ancient times," Vivian said from the side. "This is too shocking for any country on this planet. It is probably difficult for you to understand what kind of reputation and influence you mage emperors have in Holletta today. For most people, you are equivalent to a disaster. His Majesty may not think so, but he has to think more about the stability of his kingdom. A person who grasps ancient knowledge, who is so powerful that he is beyond the realm of mortals, and more importantly, the supreme ruler of the last era, suddenly appearing in his kingdom, I think any normal king would feel uneasy. "
Lorissa frowned. "Ignorant."
"But it is human nature," Hao Ren spread out his hand. "You no longer belong to this era, but you have returned in this era."
"What do you suggest?" Lorissa looked at Hao Ren.
"It's very simple. Just emphasize that you are just a clone," Hao Ren said casually. "You are just a clone with the same name as Lorrisa, the Elf Queen. But other than that, you are just an ordinary elf, an ordinary elf who has been asleep for 10,000 years. You have no ancient knowledge, and you do not have the experience of a mage emperor. You participated in the experiment in ignorance, and then because of the experiment accident, you slept until now. Other than that, don't say anything else."
"That's it? He will believe it? "Lorissa was a little puzzled." Any ruler is suspicious. "
"Of course, he won't believe it. But if we say the same, then it's not necessarily true." Hao Ren smiled and pointed to himself. "We are professionals in this field, and we have helped Holletta resist the 'Ancient Scourge' once. We have the most right to speak about the problems left behind by the ancient times."
Hao Ren had something else in mind: Mhoren had seen the spectacular scene of the Aerymian excavator team drilling holes on the planet. Compared to a mage emperor who suddenly popped out of nowhere and whose identity was unknown, Hao Ren, a strong and powerful guy, needed more stability.
Lorissa nodded thoughtfully. She had no other opinion.
At this moment, they had entered the palace.
The old king was still the same as in Hao Ren's memory. Or, he looked older and tired. It seemed that the work of rebuilding the kingdom after solving the 'Planet's Sore' and the guardian crisis was quite arduous, and the king had consumed a lot of energy. Facing an 'Ancient Mage Emperor' from the ancient times, full of doubts and unknowns, the king did not hold a grand reception ceremony. Instead, he only summoned a few confidants and the church's top echelons to participate in the meeting.
Among them were Marshal Ophra, the new pope who took over the position of pope after the death of the previous pope, and several ministers whose names Hao Ren could not remember.
Things developed as Hao Ren expected: Mhoren was very vigilant about the sudden emergence of an 'Ancient Mage Emperor.' Though Mhoren's attitude was euphemistic, Hao Ren could still sense it in advance. But this vigilance was greatly eased after Hao Ren and his team explained Lorissa's situation.
She was just a clone.
Ophra, on the other hand, showed special attention to Lorissa.
The marshal looked at Lorissa curiously from beginning to end. After the meeting was over, she stayed behind.
"Are you the ones who created the Ancient Species?" Ophra asked straightforwardly.
"The Ancient Species?" Lorissa had never heard of this term.
"It is the 'perfect creature' that you studied," Hao Ren explained. "We call them demon hunters, and here they are called the Ancient Species. The one in front of you is the Ancient Species. Logically speaking, she is the descendant of the 'perfect creature' that you studied. "
"I see." Lorissa nodded and looked at Ophra quietly. "What do you want to tell me?"
Ophra frowned and looked at Lorissa for a moment. She suddenly shook her head and said, "Forget it. I have a lot to say before, but now I don't think it's necessary. Anyway, I have the opportunity to meet the creator of our race. Not bad. "
Ophra said and left.
When there was no one else around, Lorissa whispered, "Did she want to kill me just now?"
Hao Ren coughed twice. "Ahem … I don't think so. But to be honest, your behavior of not taking care of the living is indeed quite unethical. "
"… What can we do? No one thought that the world would suddenly end. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and felt speechless. "…"
