Chapter 375 The Secret of the Countess
In the description of the weak Nicole, the whole story is explained.
"Once...my family was extremely happy."
"Mother and father truly love each other. Although they are very different in identity, status and strength, this has no impact on their relationship at all."
"I am the fruit of their love and the witness of their feelings."
"But the year I was born, my father... encountered an assassination."
"The assassin's identity is mysterious and powerful, and all defensive measures in the castle have failed to take effect."
"At that time, my mother just received an invitation from the Glow Divine Cult to attend a ceremony and left the castle."
"When she came back after receiving the news, all she saw was a body lying in a pool of blood."
Peter and Gale looked at each other.
There was a little shock in their eyes.
The Countess's husband, Mr. Skov, has always had little sense of presence. He rarely leaves the castle. He often only appears briefly at various social gatherings and rarely speaks.
Everyone just thinks that he is shy and introverted, and is not good at communicating with others.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Skoff has actually been dead for more than ten years. What appeared in front of the public in these years was nothing more than a false illusion composed of divine magic.
"So... the Countess at that time believed in the Goddess of Illusions and used her magic to create a false husband?"
Gale asked in surprise.
The Church of Vision, which originated in Ceylon, was criticized as heretical and has been expelled for more than ten years.
As a result, after more than ten years of hard work, a "heretic" with the strength of a fifth-level archmage has been operating openly in front of everyone, even blatantly deceiving outsiders with illusions?
After thinking about it, Gale realized something again.
"Oh, that's right."
The person responsible for expelling heretics from the kingdom is the local kingdom official, and in Ceylon, the most powerful one is the countess.
She wouldn't be able to expel herself with nothing to do, would she?
Nicole Ceylan said with a wry smile: "It's not that simple."
"The relationship between mother and the goddess of illusion... I only discovered it in the past few years."
"Because when my father passed away, I was just born, so I can't remember what happened at that time."
"There are two mysterious men in black robes. From time to time, they will enter the castle along the secret passage and meet my mother and me."
"There is no goddess of illusion in this world, nor is there any magic of illusion."
"The two men in black robes told mother a secret."
"Related to the secret of ascending to the gods."
The eyes of Peter and Gale, who were mage professions, widened unconsciously.
One of the greatest pursuits of the mages of the Magic Hermitage is to ascend to the throne of God as a mortal, create their own divine kingdom, and possess exclusive divine rights.
Such an idea can basically stay in the imagination. For so many years, no mortal has ever done this.
There are extremely powerful professionals who have not only reached the peak of Level 6, but have even surpassed Level 6 and entered a more mysterious and unknown realm, but they are still mortals.
There is an essential difference between gods and mortals, and no one has ever been able to cross the line.
But Nicole Ceylon's next words broke what Pat and the others had known all along:
"The two men in black robes told mother."
"With the help of the artifacts left over from the past, although mortals cannot break through the differences between them and the gods, they can... awaken the great existence of the past."
"My mother followed the instructions they provided."
"Strict and complicated steps, precise and special rituals." "A great being named Resty Maisie has since been awakened. The authority he holds is an illusion that blurs the boundary between reality and illusion."
Pete felt his heart skip a beat.
The old being awakens from its long sleep.
Why does this plot seem a bit familiar to him?
Nicole continued:
"My mother tried to create an illusion of my father. She succeeded, but she also failed."
"My father did appear in front of her and me when I was a baby again, but he didn't have any sense of autonomy. He was like a puppet on strings and could only be controlled by my mother."
"Mother is not content to stop there."
"What she wanted was the Serp Skov who she had fallen deeply in love with, who had his own personality and consciousness."
"So she started trying again and again to create the husband she remembered."
"..."
After listening to Nicole's description, Peter pondered for a moment and said puzzledly:
"But why did her attempt lead to the Ceylon collar becoming what it is now?"
As he spoke, Pet pointed his finger upward to indicate the outside of the dungeon.
Peter has also used illusion magic, but there has never been such a bad situation where the heaven and earth change, the night stays forever, and the ground is filled with monsters.
The girl Nicole looked ugly:
"That's what I'm going to tell you right now."
"Those two men in black robes gave my mother the artifact to awaken the goddess of illusion, but... there must be something wrong with that artifact!"
"The mother holding the artifact in her hand casts an illusion magic that has very abnormal effects."
"The illusions she creates change people's perceptions and can even have an impact on reality."
"The old butler in the castle, Mr. Winnekes, actually passed away three years ago."
"Since then, my mother has used illusions to create a loyal and powerful Winnex."
"He has no emotions and will only obey his mother's orders unconditionally, manage the castle, and eliminate intruders."
Believers who seek knowledge deeply agree with this.
They had just finished beating Winnekes not long ago.
The "taciturn" phantom version of Winnex is indeed ruthless and doesn't talk much. He can't take it lightly when fighting, otherwise he may be caught in a flaw and be killed instantly by having his throat cut.
No wonder this guy didn't say a word until he died. Even when he was seriously injured, he could still unleash a group of [Sleeve Arrow Storm] vigorously. The more serious the injury, the more ferocious the attack.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's that he doesn't have the heart at all!
"Using an artifact to cast such a powerful illusion will have an irreversible impact on the Goddess of Illusion."
"This is what the man in black robe told my mother in advance."
"Every time she uses the power of an artifact, the goddess of illusion will be contaminated from the void."
"When the pollution accumulates to a certain extent, he will be awakened from his long sleep and degenerate into a completely evil god."
"Mother's constant attempts mean that the goddess is becoming more and more affected."
"If mother cannot be stopped in time, the goddess of illusion may face the worst situation."
"Now is the last chance to save it all!"
"Heroes, please!"
