Tomb keeper?


    The black haired wizard raised his eyebrows. He could understand the meaning of the other party - if the lost niederhogg was compared to the tomb of the Dragon Kingdom, the other party claimed to be the "Tomb keeper" is indeed a proper title.


    But


    "Are you still alive?" Lorraine blurted out almost subconsciously.


    "It depends on how you understand ''death''." although there are only a pair of bones left, the other party''s ethereal voice hardly makes Loren feel fear. It''s more like talking to a gentle elder:


    "On the material level, my body has completely decayed, and I can''t even maintain the most basic appearance; but my consciousness is connected with the void. There is no concept of ''time'' in the void, so my consciousness has not completely dissipated."


    "According to your calendar, I have existed for almost a thousand years - as the tomb keeper of the broken wall and remnant Huan of the Dragon Kingdom, I protect the ''last knowledge'' from being completely lost."


    For more than a thousand years... The black haired wizard exaggerated his eyebrows and asked humbly, "are you... A remnant of the Dragon kingdom?"


    "Well... It''s a little different, but you can understand it." the skeleton thought for a moment and replied softly, "in a sense, I am indeed the last remnant of the Dragon kingdom."


    "When the Dragon kingdom fell completely, for some purpose, we decided to completely hide Nidhogg and completely seal the ''last knowledge'' until it should reappear in the world."


    The other party paused. The ethereal and gray blue flame burning pupils "looked" at Loren: "I have introduced myself. It''s your turn, Lord Loren Turin."


    "Why did you work so hard to come to this already destroyed place?"


    "Out of some belief, in order to redeem their own ''soul''?


    Is it to follow the footsteps of predecessors and find the truth hidden in the past?


    For some precious knowledge, increase your wisdom and broaden your horizons?


    Or looking for some powerful force to make yourself invincible? "


    The skeleton whispered, and the Osprey bone seemed to show a very expectant expression.


    "Listen to your tone, I don''t seem to be the first outsider you''ve ever seen." the black haired wizard frowned slightly and inquired carefully with his hands on his back.


    "Of course, there have been countless outsiders in niederhogg for thousands of years, but only a few really walked into the Dragon King tower like you, and the vast majority of visitors..." the tomb keeper suddenly paused and slowly looked up:


    "You should have seen them with your own eyes when you entered the king''s city."


    Lauren narrowed her pupils slightly, and a chill surged from behind.


    Wait, there''s something wrong.


    "If you are the tomb keeper of niederhogg, protect here and ''last knowledge'' from outsiders." the black haired wizard asked deliberately, "what''s the purpose of seeing me?"


    "Protection? No... Lord Loren Turin, you understand wrong, not so." the grave keeper shook his head and creaked his exposed neck bone. "The order I received is only to protect the ''last knowledge'' from loss. Whether you or other outsiders spy or not has nothing to do with it, and it is not within my scope of responsibility."


    "As for those fallen outsiders... Most of them were not killed by me. They just fell outside because they were not strong enough to reach the Dragon King tower; I just used their bodies as the ''guard'' of niederhogg."


    "And Lord Loren Turin... You are here because you have sufficient qualifications."


    "Qualification?"


    "Yes, after the first gentleman who arrived at the Dragon King tower, you are the third visitor here - if you count your friends, you should be the fourth." the tomb keeper said calmly:


    "But to be exact, you should be the first person ''qualified'' to come into contact with all this."


    The black haired wizard raised his eyebrows. He always felt that the other party had something to say: "would you like to explain in detail, your Excellency the tomb keeper?"


    The confusion in the heart is increasing, but at least it is confirmed that the other party does not have a bad feeling or hostility towards himself... Of course, if the guy who has become a skeleton can really have the negative emotion of "hostility".


    "Of course." the skeleton nodded slowly, and then suddenly asked:


    "Lord Loren Turin, do you believe in the existence of God?"


    Alas... Lauren was stunned.


    What does he mean?


    "It''s not the existence of ''evil gods'' in the void, but do you believe that a power can determine your life and death, soul and even destiny, and is omniscient and omnipotent?"


    The ethereal voice opened calmly, and the gray blue flame burning in the eyes "stared" at the surprised expression of the black haired Wizard:


    "You don''t need to answer, because I already know the answer when you enter here - and this answer is the premise for me to decide to see you."


    "In your mode of thinking, it is absurd for a ''nonexistent'' thing to determine your own destiny, which is considered to be a higher level of cognition in the Dragon King tower; however, in this world, the vast majority of people in this era have not reached this level, and even the most impious people think their destiny is already doomed."


    "Yes, it''s not your talent or ''selected by some power'', but your cognitive level of thinking is much higher than them. This is congenital and determined by the surrounding environment and education, which is difficult to be changed."


    "Once people who do not have such conditions come into contact with the knowledge in the Dragon King tower, it will cause irreversible damage to their cognition and incalculable consequences."


    "That''s why I said you were the only outsider ''qualified'' to come into contact with these."


    The dark haired wizard has complex eyes.


    "Do you know... Where I come from?"


    Loren, who was forced to be calm, restrained his emotions and asked in the calmest tone.


    "No, I don''t have that power." the tomb keeper shook his head calmly, and the right hand of the skeleton pointed to the middle of the black haired wizard''s eyebrow


    "But the Dragon King tower can."


    "This is the highest research institution in the Dragon kingdom. The moment you enter its gate, your cognitive level will be detected and you will be assigned to the right position - your cognitive level is by far the highest, far beyond the whole era, so... The answer will naturally surface."


    Lauren simply didn''t know what to say.


    He can''t be sure how much the other party knows, but the final answer must be beyond imagination - and according to the tomb keeper, the Dragon Kingdom has vigorously developed "magic", and an organization specializing in the power of emptiness is at the top of the whole King City, so it goes without saying what the status of the Wizards in control here is.


    And Loren has a hunch that although it is inconsistent with the "truth" learned from Brandon, the research of "Wizards" in the Dragon kingdom may have far exceeded today''s nine pointed star wizard tower.


    Maybe history... Is always very different from what it looks like.


    "According to the last order I got, everything in the Dragon King tower can only be handed over to the descendants of the Dragon royal family or those who have their blood. After all, all these are the top secret and the highest achievement of the Kingdom - although to a certain extent, the kingdom is doomed because of these ''achievements''."


    The tomb keeper paused, and the ethereal voice gradually became less calm:


    "But the Dragon Kingdom has been destroyed, and it is impossible to reappear in the world. At least the four evil gods who destroyed her will do their best to prevent this scene from happening; and you are the only person who may get it so far, so... Maybe not."


    The dark haired wizard nodded slightly.


    Although reason told him that he was in contact with a very troublesome thing, there was no doubt that it was his only chance to contact the lost truth of the Dragon Kingdom and the "second" valve and valve secret!


    For this, he is willing to bet once!


    "It seems that you have made up your mind. How much do you know about the demise of the Dragon kingdom?"


    "Very little."


    "Good..." the tomb keeper nodded:


    "Then let''s start here."
