Chapter 360 The root of everything
Whether the sword left by the Sword Master of the North Wind can kill a strong man of the gold rank, the answer is yes.In El's view, this sword can instantly kill all the gold-level powerhouses he has ever seen.

But whether the strong man of the gold rank will be killed by this sword, the answer is not so sure.When they reached their level, the definition of death had already surpassed the concept of the physical body.Even after their real death, a soul fragment, a projection or even a bit of will left behind cannot be underestimated.

What's more, those are still two monsters that cannot be judged by common sense——

After setting up Tiana, El boldly returned to the former battlefield.Although five or six minutes had passed, the center of the battlefield still hadn't completely calmed down.Not only the huge crack, but El observed through the Eye of True Sight that there was an invisible void in the sky above that crack, that is, in the center of the battlefield.Although it is almost invisible with the naked eye, the distortion of the rules can still be clearly perceived with the body.

If the world where Sword Castle is located is compared to a watermelon, then it is as if someone has dug out a spoonful of the flesh from the middle of the watermelon.The other side of that void is the endless void, and on this side, the basic laws of the world have not been repaired.

If El shoots an arrow at this time, it is estimated that the arrow will suddenly slow down a hundred times outside the void, and then twist into [-] turns in different directions, and finally become worthless fragments and be sucked into the void. .Although this is just a description, it is basically the result.

Facing such a terrifying and deadly threat, El didn't pay attention to the hole. When he came to the edge of the big crack, he realized that Cyprus was not unfounded.On the ruined wall at the edge of the crack, he saw sporadic sludge traces, and those traces obviously still retained a disgusting evil power.

Reminiscent of the nearly incomprehensible recovery ability of the purple demon god he had seen, El knew that it might only be a matter of time before the black demon god wanted to be resurrected.

"You just said you wanted to kill her. I really want to know why." El asked Cyprus in a low voice. He no longer wanted to know how to kill her, if even the sword master of the North Wind couldn't kill this thing. , then no matter how hard he tried, it would be futile.He just wants to know the answer to this question now.

"Didn't you hear the words of the prophet? Obviously she is the apostle." Cyprus said.

"Of course I know that she is an apostle. I have not only seen this apostle... The question is why do you want me to kill her?" El plucked the bowstring of the Dragon Tooth Bow, and said expressionlessly: "About the apostle What else do you know?"

"That's a long story..." Cyprus was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I saw you holding a windscar in your hand, and you have Night Watchmen under your command, how much do you know about the truth? "

"I don't know much about them, I only know that they are a group of lunatics who harm others but not themselves." El said.

"A lunatic who harms others but does not benefit himself? You summed it up well, and it seems that you are also suffering from it." Cyprus said, "Do you know the history of the Truth Society?"

"This paragraph can be skipped, I know everything I should know." El said.

"Then you should also know that the Sword Master of the North Wind was also one of the Twelve Sages back then?" Cyprus said.

"Damn it!" El finally lost his composure: "Don't tell me that the founding king of Oakland was the man behind the Truth Society, right?"

"In a sense, this statement is also correct. The history of the founding of the Kingdom of Auckland back then was entangled with the establishment of the Truth Society. Some of the founding generation were the elders of the Truth Society. The Kingdom of Auckland can actually be said to be the "utopia" that the truth will establish, but that dream has not really come true in the end. The inertia of secular forces and the passing of time have made this once hopeful country finally degenerate into an ordinary human kingdom. .”

As if feeling that his tone was a bit heavy, Cyprus paused, and continued: "Of course, those histories are too far away from us, and it doesn't make sense to say this now. But the important thing is that the truth will be established soon There were differences in ideas, which eventually led to internal divisions. I don't know much about the other situations, but the Sword Master of the North Wind left the group of the Twelve Sages and built a sword castle outside the Brown Earth Hills. Spend the rest of your life wiping that bastard Adrian's ass... You should know what I'm talking about, right?"

"Yes, the seal of the center of the earth, the army of demons invaded." El said, of course he knew about this, and even saw the soul fragments left by Adrian in the underground ruins with his own eyes.

"Do you think that bastard is mentally ill? In fact, this is a common problem of the twelve sages of the Truth Society—they all have mental illness." Cyprus said through gritted teeth.

"Why are those people called sages? Because in that dark age when the people are struggling to survive, there will always be people who are unwilling to be oppressed and rise up. Most of them will die without a place to bury them, but there will always be a few Individuals have fulfilled their ideals and saved the people from suffering, so they are called saints. From another perspective, they are a bunch of psychopaths.”

"I thought people like that should be called heroes," El said.

"Heroes are created, but sages come out step by step through thorns and thorns. The former is just a coincidence, while the latter are all figures with outstanding intelligence and perseverance." Cyprus said bitterly: "And such people often have A strength is also a weakness - they are exceptionally stubborn, sticking to their ideas without wavering."

"I admit that your idea is very interesting, but what does it have to do with the apostles?" El asked impatiently.

"If there is a person who insists that sex is good for health, assuming it is true, would you eat it?" Cyprus suddenly changed an irrelevant topic.

"Am I sick?" El was puzzled.

"But that person insists that you should fuck and force you to eat. What will you think at this time?" Cyprus asked persistently.

El's face was quite exciting, and the image in his brain alone made his stomach churn.

"The person who forced you to fuck is the so-called sage." Cyprus said with a sinister smile: "Those sages with shit in their heads think that only their own way can save the world. If **** can save mankind , and if everyone is unwilling to commit suicide, then they will force everyone to commit suicide at all costs... The so-called Truth Society is actually such a thing!"

"Stop talking, I'm going to throw up." El pouted, took two deep breaths, and rolled his eyes.

"From this point of view, you can understand Adrian's behavior. Their faction firmly believes in the principle that blockage is worse than sparseness, and they believe that the seal in the center of the earth can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause of the stability of the earth. Only by opening Seal, let the law of chaos and the law of order in this world continue to merge, so that the stability of this world can be continuously consolidated." Cyprus said: "They have a whole set of systematic theories, and you can't refute his theory... But in terms of results, later You should know about it too."

"Is this the so-called truth? The truth they were looking for?" A cold light flashed in El's eyes as he recalled the scenes in that illusion.

"That's right, this is the Truth Society. Now let's go back to the original question, why did I ask you to kill that monster? This matter dates back to the time when I was still alive." Cyprus pondered for a moment, Leisurely said: "When I left the projection here at the Sword Tomb, I only heard a little bit about it. As for what happened afterwards, I really don't know... But what the prophet said reminded me, see It’s not a legend to come there.”

"What the prophet said is true? The gods and the great will of the race... I don't understand much." El recalled the last words of the prophet, frowning and said.

"This matter involves some secrets from the ancient times. It is very complicated to explain, and I am not particularly clear, so I will give you a brief explanation." Cyprus thought for a while, and said seriously.

"As far as I know, there are a group of believers in the Truth Society, including several sages. They firmly believe that the gods are the supreme beings in this world. If human beings want to be saved, they must unconditionally believe in the gods in order to obtain the gods. Asylum. For them, the most correct way to protect this world is to obey the will of the gods."

"That doesn't sound like a problem?" Al asked cautiously.In the common sense of a normal person, the gods should be the supreme existence, and even ordinary people like him who have no beliefs firmly believe in this.It's just that Adrian's negative example made him maintain a basic skeptical attitude towards anything that has anything to do with the truth.

"You still don't understand..." Cyprus sighed bitterly: "It's true that mortals obey the will of the gods, but what if the gods reject mortals? What if the gods let you go to hell? ?”

"Aren't you afraid of being killed by lightning when you say this?" El shook his hand, and almost threw the Dragon Tooth Bow into the huge crack.He subconsciously looked up at the sky, and after confirming again and again that there was no abnormality, he took two steps back cautiously.

"I've died a long time ago, even the gods can't let the dead die a second time, right?" Cyprus laughed and said, "What do you think an apostle is? An apostle is a lackey sent by the gods to the lower realm! The power of mortals The gods have already felt threatened, so the gods sent their apostles to the earth to cleanse the human beings. It is ridiculous that the Truth Society is still proud of this!"
