Doomsday Totem

Chapter 115 Letters
When dawn broke, Tie Slag took another look at the world of ice crystals, saluted the castle in the morning light, then turned around resolutely, and boarded the aircraft.

Amidst the roar, the aircraft slowly lifted into the sky and flew towards the warm south.

In the cabin, Iron Slag opened the letter Kezan left for him...

"Dear Iron Slag Knowles:

My friend, my child, my pride.

I must offer you my deepest apologies.

I'm sorry to put a heavy burden on your shoulders.

A child of your age should have lived a carefree life and enjoyed a beautiful youth.You should seek the truth in the ivory tower and explore the secrets of this world.Perhaps, you will also have a beautiful little friend who will accompany you in the secluded garden and confide in each other's hearts...

However, we do not have the right to choose.

The bloodline has endowed us with a lifelong mission - to ignite the sacred fire and regain its glory.

This is our responsibility and our honor.

Becoming a tinder is the most painful choice, but also the bravest path.Please don't lament the twists and turns of fate, because we have hot blood flowing on our bodies.

Twenty-nine thousand five hundred and twelve Heroic Spirits are watching us.

They exchanged their blood and lives for a glimmer of hope for us.

How can we be ashamed!

However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but requires a long wait.

Waiting for God's mercy, waiting for belated justice.

So, I ask you to let go of your burden and bury our mission in the deepest part of your soul.

Never remembered, never forgotten.

As the spark of glory, you need to live well and continue your blood and faith.For the rest of your life, wait patiently for the time to come.

At the same time, please don't rush to make any choices.

Just because you have inherited the life of the Xerox doesn't mean you have to be the Keeper of the Holy Fire.

You need to feel the love and hatred in the world, have seen the feasting and feasting, and walked through the colorful world.

If you have never experienced these, you will be ashamed of your heart, unable to resist the temptation of the world, and unable to watch alone in the long night.

Only after experiencing all this can you truly understand the world and understand your pursuit.Only at that moment can you face your heart directly, without regrets, and without regrets in this life.

But really, I don't want you to be a flame keeper.Because, that kind of life journey is too lonely.

The messenger is already on his way back, he will take over my task and guard the last fire.

Please rest assured to learn and experience the world.

May your college life be simple and enjoyable.

......"

There are two other things mentioned later in the letter.

The first thing, Kezan told him that the legendary ability "Pineworm Life" will greatly extend the lifespan. Depending on the actual condition of the body, the lifespan is about 300 to [-] years.Moreover, the worm life can also greatly improve the stability of the gene chain, at least reaching the level of the "diamond array", as long as the abilities do not conflict with each other, it can accommodate six insectification abilities.

Furthermore, when the stability of the gene chain reaches the "diamond array", no gene scanner can detect the existence of mutant fragments.As long as Iron Slag is not photographed when he uses his ability to transform into insects, no one will be able to point out his identity as an insect.

The second thing, Kezan said, the key to lighting the holy fire is to find the Thunder Hammer.

Since ancient times, the temple has had two holy relics, the Staff of Life of the Ancient Temple and the Thunder Hammer of the Temple of Splendor.

In the last battle, Thunder Hammer was lost.

The glorious great prophet of the previous generation once said that he left the guidance of rekindling the holy fire in the Thunder Hammer.Only the successor approved by Thunder Hammer can see the message he left.The most important thing is that only by finding the Thunder Hammer that symbolizes the Temple of Glory, can you recruit the spark of glory hidden in the world.

"When the thunder hammer is lifted high again, the star fire will light up the darkness of the eternal night, and the brilliant battle song will dispel the cold of winter."

Tie Slag read Kezan's letter word by word. In an instant, the past two years was vivid in his mind. This gentle old man seemed to be standing right in front of him...

After a long time, he gradually regained his composure, carefully folded the letter, wrapped it in oiled paper, and put it in the inner pocket of his clothes.Next, he had Alice scan his genes.The red comet then shot milky white light, enveloping him.After a while, Alice came to a conclusion: "Typical human genes, no mutated fragments."

Iron Slag asked why it could not be detected.Alice replied that according to the ancient records of the Temple of Brilliance, the stability of the gene chain is determined by "the clarity of division between mutant genes and normal genes".

Because the insectification ability has the characteristics of "reversion to ancestors" and "mutation".Therefore, there is great uncertainty and instability.

The gene chain is like a library that records the history of human evolution.The library is divided into two areas, the "present area" and the "past area". The books in the "present area" record the genetic information of ordinary human beings, while the books in the "past area" record the genetic information of human beings from single-celled organisms to primates.

Human inheritance is like randomly selecting books in the "modern area" to form a complete set of materials, and then create the body of the next generation.At the same time, the next generation will inherit the entire library.

The so-called atavism phenomenon means that when composing materials, the previous generation not only selected books in the "modern area", but also selected books in the "past area".

The so-called mutation phenomenon is that some pages in the book have undergone some uncertain changes under the influence of the environment.However, because the library of gene chains is too large, people in it may not be able to find the pages that have changed.This means that they may have inadvertently picked a book whose content has changed.

The so-called "clarity of division between mutated genes and normal genes" means that most of the mutated pages have been found, and then put away in different categories for latercomers to choose.

The genetic scanner is like a fully automatic robot, looking for mutated pages in books, and as long as it finds a problem with one of the pages, it can determine the identity of the worm.

After the mutated genes are managed centrally, the changed pages will be concentrated in a certain corner.Under normal circumstances, this fully automatic robot will only rummage through samples in a short period of time, and cannot search all corners.

In short, when the stability of the gene chain is improved, it is not easy for humans to find wrong information, and it is not easy for genetic scanners to find the mutated part.

Afterwards, Iron Slag asked the second question: Why did his "gene plunder" only copy the "xeroid life"?He remembered that the captain once said that genetic plundering "has no selectivity" and all abilities will be obtained together.

However, according to Kezan, the worm life came from the blood wolf Feld.Therefore, Kezan must have more than one ability.

Why did he only copy Kezan's xyloid life, but not other abilities?

Alice explained that according to the records in the database, all epic and legendary insectification abilities have the two characteristics of "uniqueness at the same level" and "inheritance".

As the name suggests, "uniqueness at the same level" means that the worm can only have one epic level ability and one legendary level ability.Epic and legendary abilities of the same level are mutually exclusive, and if you already have "Sorcerous Life", you cannot absorb other legendary abilities.

And "inheritance" means that when the wormer dies, all basic abilities and rare abilities will dissipate, leaving only the genetic fragments of epic abilities and legendary abilities.

Listening to Alice's narration, he turned his head and looked out of the window, only to see the glaciers rising continuously below, and the endless sea in the distance.Before they knew it, they had come to the edge of the Great Ice Ocean.

Looking back at the beginning, it took him a month to walk to the ruins of the temple. The hardships of this journey are indescribable.Looking at the road I once walked, it seems that everything happened yesterday.

Just sigh, in the blink of an eye, Baiyun Canggou, time has passed, two years and eight months have passed...

I don't know if Tieshan Town is still the same as before, if the short hill is occupied by people, if the sheriff is still safe, if the grave is covered with grass.

However, the identity of the worm, the will of the heroic spirit, and the mission of the holy fire are destined to make him walk in the vast land, hiding all his nostalgia deeply.

Never remember, never forget...

Thinking about it, day and night passed like this...

The aircraft crossed the calm and deep ice ocean, flew over the majestic and majestic Phoenix Mountains, crossed the cold and windy snowy ice field, passed through the deep and boundless Black Sea, and finally came to the sky above the Northern Wilderness.

The pilot reported that there were still two hours of flight time from Iron Mountain Town.

At this time, Tie Slag had already changed into a traveler's clothes and put on a pair of plain glasses.Compared with two years ago, his appearance has changed greatly. If there is an acquaintance standing in front of him, as long as he doesn't speak, the other party may not be able to recognize him.

Today, his face is a little wider, his beard has grown out, his height is a little taller, and his body shape is a little wider.

However, these changes are trivial, and what really makes him different is his hairstyle, clothing and temperament.

Judging from the hairstyle, he originally had messy and broken hair. Usually, when his hair grows long, he just randomly cut it twice with a knife.But now, his hair is neatly combed and clean.Kezan would trim his hair once a month, and told him: "As a man, his head can be broken and his blood can flow, but his hair can't be messed up!"

Secondly, in terms of clothes, he didn't pay much attention to them. He wore the military uniform of Iron Mountain Township all year round, and he didn't wash it often.And Lina doesn't know needlework at all, and she doesn't want to use other people's hands. Every time she lengthens and shortens, she sews crookedly. Apart from being stronger, it is not beautiful.But now, under Kezan's teaching, he began to pay attention to clothing.He has learned that clothing means identity in the eyes of others.

For example, now, he is wearing ordinary traveler's clothes and plain glasses.Later, he will clip the register book and insert an ink pen in his chest pocket, and he will transform into a clerk who can be seen everywhere and travels back and forth.

Finally, in terms of temperament, he has changed the most.When he was in Tieshan Town before, he was a stunned young man who did not hide the ferocity and murderous intent in his eyes, for fear that others would not know how powerful he was.It gives people the feeling that if he disagrees with each other, he will draw a knife and kill someone.However, now his ferocity and murderous intent have been buried in his heart, and it will not be revealed easily.Now he always has a warm smile, calm and composed gestures, and bottomless eyes, making people unable to see clearly, unable to understand, and unable to think of offending (Li Tuohai is a different kind, not an ordinary person).

Perhaps, this is what people call - maturity.
