Chapter 352 This is the necessary price
In the mist-covered Kingdom of God, Nuowen touched his head with his tentacles with deep emotion.
"really."
"As long as the order of mortals is stabilized, the catastrophic situation can be controlled."
Noven's image at this time was a little weird.
Although it is still in human form as a whole, it has grown a huge backpack on its back, and then stretched out dozens of tentacles with different functions.
He multitasks.
While paying attention to the actions of the believers, he was busy crafting a new divine creation.
The human body structure is efficient at its limits.
Only by not being a human can you break through the limits.
The temporary information sharing platform organized by Peter and others gave Noven a good inspiration.
Novin realized that [Instant Messenger], a magical technique that represented messages, actually had great potential for development.
If it is used simply as a communication magic, it will not be able to exert its full effect.
Noven plans to create a brand new magic.
Let's call it version 3.0 of the instant messenger, it will have a more powerful effect.
However, the scale of creation that needs to be prepared for this magical production is slightly complicated.
Even Novin took some time to complete.
It will not be possible to get online quickly for a while.
Therefore, while waving his tentacles to constantly adjust the effects of divine creations, Norwin was also paying close attention to the situation in the Ceylon region.
As ordinary people in various villages and towns were rescued, they no longer panicked and despaired, and after restoring hope for the future in the evacuation sites, the countess' castle, which was the most polluted, indeed began to show signs of "loosening."
There is a clear connection between the two.
From the perspective of Noven's observation.
The entire Ceylon region is like a complex "magic circle" in operation.
The Countess's Castle is the core hub of the magic circle.
The "energy" that supplies this array comes from the various villages and towns in the region.
To be more precise - it should be the order of various civilization gathering places.
The more disordered and chaotic it is, the greater the impact will be on the goddess of illusion who is being polluted and eroded by the void.
These negative orders have symbolic power.
It will further push the goddess of illusion into the abyss.
Reflected in reality, the representative phenomena are:
The illusion effects outside the Countess' castle will also become stronger and stronger.
After the knowledge-seeking believers intervened, the overall worsening situation was quickly suppressed.
Because civilized order is being restored.
If we say that the original goddess of illusion was tied to a runaway train by the countess, she is inevitably heading towards the end and embracing madness.
So now it is equivalent to the believers seeking knowledge rushing onto the train and slamming on the brakes.
Although, Noven has not yet found a way to recover the deteriorating part, nor can he stop this runaway train immediately.
But at least it's starting to slow down.
And the effect is very significant.
…
Countess Castle.
Attic, in meditation room.
The Countess of Ceylon entered a state of slumber from the beginning of her 194th attempt.
The body sitting cross-legged remained motionless.
His eyes were closed and he was breathing weakly.
For two whole days, not a drop of water entered, not a grain of rice touched.
On the altar in front of her, the expression of the young man in the ice coffin was not as peaceful as before.
I don't know when, his expression became gloomy and strange.
It seems like a smile but not a smile;
It seems like crying but not crying;
It was as if there were hundreds of emotions and hundreds of memories intertwined at the same time. Under the fierce collision, countless thoughts and ideas were derived, and all of them were presented on his face. Countess Frigga Ceylon opened her eyes slightly.
The man in the ice coffin then returned to a calm state.
There was no movement of the chest, no breathing, no heartbeat.
He has undoubtedly been dead for a long time.
The Countess of Ceylon staggered slightly when she stood up.
Even a powerful fifth-level mage will become weak if he does not eat or drink.
Hold the corresponding gestures and chant two magic spells.
Gurgling water appeared out of thin air and filled the entire crystal cup.
Round magic bread appeared next to it.
There are two magics: [Water Creation Technique] and [Meal Creation Technique].
While eating simply, the countess took out a delicate silver bell from her arms and shook it gently a few times.
"Ding bell, jingle bell."
A crisp sound echoed in the room.
Not long after, Mr. Winnekes, the old butler of the castle, knocked gently on the door outside.
"Master, I'm here. I need to tell you something."
The Countess of Ceylon glanced out the window.
Dark night enveloped the castle.
No stars or moon to be seen.
She made up her mind: "Call, you know... them."
The old butler Winnex understood immediately.
The "You Know Who" Frigga Ceylan refers to refers to the two mysterious short men in black robes.
showed up at the castle fifteen years ago, claiming they had a way to make the Countess make amends for her greatest regret.
Her late husband - Serp Skov.
Many people know that after Frigga Ceylon was personally canonized by the king and became the noble earl guarding and in charge of the "Ceylon Territory" area on the border, she refused the roses offered by many dignitaries in the royal capital and chose to go to the border. Married secretly to an ordinary person.
After their marriage, Serp Skov, the husband of the Countess of Ceylon, rarely appeared in public, and would only appear briefly as the countess's husband at occasional social gatherings.
So almost no one knows.
The Countess of Ceylon’s husband has actually been dead for more than 16 years.
The appearance of two mysterious men in black robes brought the countess a strange hexagonal gem and a mysterious ritual.
The position of god who governs illusions was born.
In the following time, the Countess made another attempt.
She wanted to use the power of illusion to bring her husband back to her.
But the two men in black robes informed the countess of an inevitable and fateful ending from the very beginning:
"A mortal must pay a price for blaspheming a great god."
"If you don't pay the price."
"Then the gods will bear the impact on your behalf."
The Countess 16 years ago had not yet realized what the words of the people in black robes meant.
But after a long time, when the two men in black robes appeared in front of her again, the Countess of Ceylon understood the meaning of the so-called "price".
The entire Ceylon area is covered by the eternal night sky.
Monsters keep emerging.
The situation is so bad.
There is only one last obsession that supports her:
"This is the necessary price."
"Just stop in time and stop completely before everything is irreversible."
"Then there is still a chance of salvation."
"But...the hope of success is just around the corner."
"I won't give up until the last moment!"
