Chapter 357 The portrait of Katalov and the world trend

Swish

Alwin held himself to use “Live” The fountain pen made of spirit transformation light is working hard, the gold nib is on the fine parchment, leaving lines of beautiful words and lines.

It forms an intricate and sophisticated array that looks like a work of art.

This is the “Garriott Bird Transformation 3.0” that he is constantly revising. The main body has been completed when he was promoted to the official wizard, and now it is only a small modification in some details to make it more perfect.

Alwin believes that after this transformation, the seabirds under his command will surely usher in a qualitative change, and it is no longer a dream to complete the transformation from mortals to magical creatures.

Suddenly.

The light in the captain’s room dimmed, and the light of the chandelier seemed to be swallowed by something.

Then came the gloomy voice of an old man from the oil painting hanging on the wall:

“Little ~ son ~, quickly find someone to give me a meal for the old man. Eat, eat chatter

Or I’ll eat you! Chatter”

Others may be startled, but

pop-

It was just a snap of Alwin’s fingers in response.

The groaning voice got smaller and smaller, until it was inaudible.

Because a spirituality barrier has risen on its own, it has cut off all connections between the oil painting on the mysterious level and the outside world, so that the old man inside who is confused can neither see nor hear, Can’t say more.

It’s even worse than when I was seabed.

However, it also means some kind of signal.

The pen in his hand drew the last symbol on the paper. Alwin put away the “Bird Transformation Technique 3.0”, replaced it with a piece of ordinary white paper, and refilled himself a glass by the way. black tea.

Then looked up at the oil painting, as if waiting for something.

Sure enough, a minute later, the picture of the sunken ship on the oil painting gradually disappeared, and a portrait of a middle-aged man with big wavy curly hair wearing a noble dress from hundreds of years ago replaced him.

Alwin then lifted the spirituality barrier, bowed slightly, and said with a smile:

“Sir Katarov, good day!”

“Your Excellency Baron , good day!

haha, freedom still tastes good, especially when you appreciate this freedom, you can also have an excellent audience with a noble status, which is perfect.

Then, do you have time to listen to my story?”

The man in the painting spoke slowly, although it still belonged to the old man’s voice, but the tone was decidedly different. Especially at the end of each sentence, the tone is slightly raised, which is the way the nobles used to speak in order to show their uniqueness.

Hearing this, Alwin certainly wouldn’t refuse, because what he was waiting for was “he”.

“Of course, it’s my pleasure!”

It’s been so long since this painting was fished out of the sea, after being discovered by ka ka and completely exposed to consciousness, After several less successful exchanges, Alwin already has a certain understanding of the painting and the consciousness that resides in it.

Or he, it, they can all refer to the consciousness inside.

Alwin’s initial guess was right.

Before and after that flute ship was killed, the wizard who fled hundreds of years ago abandoned his seriously wounded body and hid in this famous painting, which is essentially a “cursed object” in the form of his soul.

His former name was Simpson, and he was an official wizard who belonged to the “Black Linger School” of the black wizard force.

Proficient in shadow magic and soul magic, after using the “curse” to seal his soul, he has been struggling on whilst at death’s door in the painting until now.

But over a long period of time, his own life form has already undergone irreversible changes. The soul has been completely integrated with this cursed oil painting, and it has become an existence similar to the devil in the painting.

This form of existence is somewhat similar to the Legendary battleship “Ship Spirit” that Alwin knew. As long as the painting is not destroyed, theoretically he will not die out completely.

This allowed him to survive hundreds of years of erosion with the soul essence of the Second Rank transcender.

However, the price he paid was far more than that.

The painting is called “Portrait of Death of Katalov” and was originally a self-portrait created by a noble painter named Katalov.

I don’t know what happened in the middle and finally turned into a “cursed object”, which made its former owner unfathomable mystery “God Hidden”, and the soul was also imprisoned in the painting and continued to sink.

The shape presented in the oil painting is to show the picture of each victim when they died.

While the black wizard Simpson dominated this cursed oil painting with the powerful Soul Power far surpassing any previous victim, he also had to deal with the remaining souls and souls of the victims of all ages. Consciousness merged uncontrollably until it was impossible to separate each other.

So what finally appeared in front of Alwin was a “painted demon” with Simpson’s personality as the main character and countless victims as his assistants.

The crazy old man, the learned aristocratic artist, the wealthy businessman who regards money as his life, and the clumsy thief Alwin have recorded at least a dozen personalities, and it seems that there should be far more than that. .

As for the people who were eaten into the painting after Simpson, such as the hapless Cyrus soldier, they were really eaten, and even the opportunity to carve up Simpson’s soul to become an independent personality will not Have.

Either seabed or after being fished.

They will conduct internal consultations and come out regularly to show off. Whoever comes out will be displayed on the screen.

But most of the time, the main character of the black wizard old man came out, and the one who ranked second was the original owner of this painting: Sir Kataloff.

Speaking of which, of course, it is more valuable to be a crazy old man as a formal wizard. The knowledge of the “Black Linger School” in his mind is attractive to any transcender.

Alwin is impossible to cultivate both, but if he can obtain the shadow magic that belongs to the wizard, then he will definitely save a lot of effort when cultivating the shadow lizard ka ka in the future.

Alwin, however, prefers to chat with this erudite aristocratic artist rather than dealing with an old wizard who is crazy but still cunning like a fox.

In addition, although the memories between the personalities do not communicate with each other, after three hundred years of getting along, the mutual communication between the personalities is enough to complete the sharing of most of the memories.

At least Kataloff knows all about the memories of everyone after him.

As a result, the learned aristocratic artist gave Alwin a surprise with his “personal” experiences that have never been recorded in the history books.

Although some high-end, may not be used temporarily, but the value is no less than any Mystic Knowledge.

Because there may be a secret that can bring mortals and gods side by side!

“Last time we said that long ago, the Church of Seven Gods were notoriously conservative, stubborn, and impersonal, with all kinds of dogma and rules firmly imprisoning the minds of the people.

This has been going on for thousands of years, and people call it the ‘dark millennium’.

Until the time I lived in 500 years ago, the people finally stopped being resigned lambs , determined to break that dark era from the spiritual world.

It was a movement called ‘Renaissance’ and a surging forward with great momentum that lasted for two centuries.

Indirectly, the Turkest dynasty I belonged to “ruled the roost” continent, or, in terms of thought, art, and humanities, became a place of pilgrimage for the entire continent.”

Although this “ancient” language There is an obvious lack of reverence for the seven True Gods, but Alwin just listened silently, recording first-hand information about his dialogue with “history” on paper from time to time.

Because of his dual identities as aristocrats and artists, he has enough vision and opportunities to understand the real appearance of that era, and also makes Alwin like Supreme Treasure!

From his intermittent stories during this period, Alwin seems to have grasped the context of the world’s development and the limits of True God’s power!

According to what he said, the records of the wizards plus Alwin’s own reasoning.

In the dark ages, all supernatural powers except the church are suppressed, wizards are no different from other transcenders, they are struggling on whilst at death’s door, just barely able to survive .

But when the “Renaissance” movement from the bottom up is in full swing, and has been unanimously welcomed by most countries and people in the old continent, and even formed a certain trend, True God Cult will Finally could not sit still.

With the huge accumulation that has ruled the world for thousands of years from both the body and the soul, he began to hunt down the transcender with the belief of lore, especially the wizard.

Obviously, the wisdom of the gods has allowed them to see the changes in the future. After the shackles of thought are broken, there will inevitably be a hundred flowers blooming on the spiritual and material levels.

And those wizards who are the most powerful, intelligent, creative and productive will surely get the greatest benefit from this torrent of social change and profoundly change the material world.

It is not even known to use a bottom-up movement to shake up the rule of the old continent True God through popular disgust with the “dark millennium” church ruling everything.

This is of course not what any True God wants to see!

But their abacus was not fully worked out.

The largest witch slaughter movement in history is in full swing. The church forces expel, kill, and imprison most of the wizards. Seeing that all the buds will be completely strangled by them.

Another thing happened that True Gods didn’t expect.

While the church and wizard were fighting, a group of Demi-God in their back garden sprang up like mushrooms because of the human desire for “Renaissance” and ideological liberation.

Some of them were born directly from human beliefs, while others were promoted from the pinnacle of transcenders, and there have been more Demi-Gods in just two hundred years than in the past few thousand years.

A typical example is Purcell, the “God of Opera” whom Alwin was fortunate to meet with his own eyes!

Even if the trend is not guided by wizards, it unfolds slowly in another form that they also do not want to see, and has a profound impact on the world.

From this, True Gods also know that even the aloof and remote are not the masters of this world, nor are they completely irreplaceable.

The will of the world does not have a complete self, but it also has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The original intention of all World Rule operations must be conducive to the development and promotion of the world.

During this period, the trend of the world can be temporarily suppressed, but the impossible will always stay in the era of ignorance.

So, the gods had to compromise on the world itself.

Under the combined influence of internal and external influences, the Reformation of the Church of Seven Gods began and the “Dark Millennium” came to an end.

Then.

After hundreds of years, all influence competed with each other, and only then did the super-ecosystem appear to be balanced on the surface.

After straightening out the context, Alwin also got one of the keys, a secret that may not even be known to many Ultra Grade powerhouses.

That’s what even True God has to back down – the world trend!

“However, after the end of the ‘Dark Millennium’, emancipation of the mind is a trend. So is the opening of the ‘Great Voyage Age’ also a trend?”
