While Tang Ke was still surprised by Feng Yingkuang's words, his voice continued to enter his ears.
"After that, we rested for a short period of time before we were brought to another place, a boundless forest. The instructor divided us into 100 groups, with 10 people in each group. Each of us had a military knife. We had to live in this forest until they came to pick us up…Everyone in the same group as me was dead…I didn't even know their names. Perhaps, they didn't even have names, just like me, only a code name!!**。”
Feng Yingkuang's voice stopped, and the expression on his face returned to calmness." Then, the bio-armor combination test will be carried out. After the combination is successful, they will be assigned to an underground military base. According to their abilities, everyone was organized into groups of thirteen and began to carry out the tasks assigned by the commander. I was the leader of the Elite Party. " Until that accident, the 13 of us had been creating deaths almost every day. When there was no mission, we would stay in the underground base and practice ancient martial arts. However, this time was very rare. Because of the mistake in the intelligence report, twelve of my team members were sacrificed, and I accidentally fell to this continent.”
Silence, silent silence, oppressive silence, suffocating silence…
"Hu..." Tang Ke let out a long sigh and patted Feng Yingkuang's shoulder with a heavy face,"Don't think about the past anymore. Start your new life here!"From the moment you came to the Rostocker Continent, you have already obtained a new life! We are all your family. You are no longer alone!”
"Yes, Grandpa, I understand. I've learned a lot of things here that I didn't know before. Besides, I have Na 'er and Lin' er now. I'm no longer the same person as before! Don't worry!"
"It's good that you understand, it's good that you understand." Tang Ke nodded with gratification, a loving smile on his face.
Humans were very strange creatures. A change in environment could easily cause a person to change. However, no matter how much this person changed, he was still him, because the instinct that was deeply buried in his blood and could never be forgotten would never change, just like the truth hidden deep in the accident that Windshadow Mad thought...
Tang Ke felt that time seemed to pass very quickly today. Perhaps it was because he admired his grandson-in-law in front of him, or perhaps it was because he knew that he would soon be able to practice ancient martial arts. In the near future, he would become the second Great Mage on the continent, and he might even become the legendary "leader of war". Thinking of this, Tang Ke's body began to tremble with excitement.
It seemed that they didn't talk much. The morning had quietly passed. Tang Ke was even thinking if he should develop a magic that could slow down the passage of time.
No matter how unwilling the Archmage of the Arsus Empire, Tang Ke Edward, was, time still passed slowly but steadily according to the arrangement of nature. When the sun rose to the top of the sky, it indicated the arrival of the time of the day called " noon."
"Hehe, they sent food over. Let's eat first and continue chatting in the afternoon.”
The old man sitting next to him suddenly said something completely irrelevant, which made Wind Shadow Kuang unable to wrap his mind around it. He was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw his grandfather take out a completely white magic staff from somewhere and recite a strange spell in a low tone. When the round light green magic crystal at the top of the magic staff emitted a faint green light, the energy body that seemed to have a life of its own flashed with a silver-white light. It shot out from the light yellow diamond-shaped magic crystal embedded in the groove of the roof, penetrated the wall of the room, and disappeared.
Noticing that his grandson-in-law was staring at the magic staff in his hand, Tang Ke smiled slightly and put the staff in his hand." Hehe, this was given to me by the previous king when I first became a Royal Mage. It had a very nice name! Eagle. It's all thanks to its help that I'm able to have my current achievements!”
A faint white light flowed in the transparent staff handle. At the top of the staff handle was an eagle that was unusually agile and spread its wings. In the eagle's mouth, there was a thumb-sized light green magic crystal.
Windshadow Craze toyed with the wand in his hand. He felt that the shape of the eagle at the top of the wand was very familiar.
"Grandpa, why do the people here like eagles so much? It seemed that every house had at least one thing made of an eagle.”
"Hehe, the eagle is the symbol of our Arthurs Empire. Simply put, we regard the eagle as the totem of God, so you can see many things in the shape of an eagle in the Arthurs Empire. Not everyone on the Rostocker Continent liked eagles. In the Ter Empire, they used the sun as their totem, while Iss was water. Byron was a wolf. The elves regarded the moon as a god. The orcs 'totems were very chaotic. From the trees on the ground to the clouds in the sky, people worshipped them as gods. As for the dwarves, there were no records of them. They were a group of creatures that did not like to interact with humans.”Tang Ke was worthy of being the Great Mage of the Imperial Court. He answered Feng Yingkuang's doubts clearly in just a few words.
" That's right…but I think I've seen this eagle in my house before…"
"Alright, alright, let's have lunch first."Several dishes, a big bowl filled with rice, and two sets of utensils were" brought "by the energy body that had previously penetrated the wall of the room and disappeared from the passage in the middle of the room. Tang Ke also interrupted Feng Yingkuang's contemplation." It's normal for you to have seen such a flying eagle. There should be quite a few in the new Marquis Mansion that the King has given you. That used to be a prince's courtyard."”
After being interrupted by Tang Ke and seeing those spiritual energy bodies, Feng Yingkuang suppressed the question that had just arisen. The grandfather and grandson ate lunch together.
If it was at another time and place, perhaps Tang Ke would continue to investigate Feng Yingkuang's question with him, and then continue to pursue the root of the matter until they found the Goshawk Seal. Under the calculations of Tang Ke, an old man who had been in the officialdom for decades, he would definitely make appropriate arrangements for the Goshawk Seal, so that the unhappiness in King Arthurs 'heart would be completely eliminated. But today, Tang Ke was completely focused on the ancient martial arts he was about to practice. Nothing else could attract his attention.
Many times, because of this difference, the result of the same thing would be completely different. If Tang Ke knew that the Goshawk Seal, which symbolized King Kuge, was in the hands of Feng Yingkuang, his grandson-in-law, and that he didn't care about it at all, perhaps he wouldn't have to face so many troubles and schemes because of it.
Feng Yingkuang, who was born a soldier, could only be described as quiet and fast when eating. He had never been picky about food. Under Tang Ke's dumbfounded gaze, Windshadow Kuang quickly swallowed the food in front of him, then sat straight on the chair, waiting for Tang Ke to eat. Feng Yingkuang's expression was somewhat impatient because there was always a question in his heart. He wanted to take this opportunity to ask Tang Ke.
Perhaps influenced by Feng Yingkuang, Tang Ke finished his lunch at a much faster speed than usual. He summoned the energy bodies that seemed to have life and brought the utensils out of the Magic Tower.
"Grandpa, what power did you use just now? It's like…how should I put it, I feel like they're alive. What's going on?" Seeing Tang Ke leisurely brew a cup of tea and leisurely enjoy it, Windshadow Kuang asked a question that he had been unable to understand.
"Oh? Life? Can you feel it?" Tang Ke put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes flashed with surprise. He was really surprised by his grandson-in-law's words." Why do you think that power can have life?”
"This…is just a feeling. As for the power having life, it's nothing strange!”Feng Yingkuang met Tang Ke's puzzled gaze and explained,"" According to what we say, any power is a different form of energy. Because I often perform missions on planets with different environments, I have seen a creature that lives in the form of pure energy. Although it is different from the one you used just now, I think the essence is the same.”
"Have you seen it before? Well, if it's as you say, why do you think it's strange?”
Feng Yingkuang paused for a moment to organize his thoughts and explained,"It's probably like this. I've seen planets where pure energy creatures live, but they're completely different from here. According to the theories I know, it is impossible for such a pure energy life form to exist in the environment of the Rostocker Continent. And grandpa just now…That is why I felt very strange.”
Tang Ke nodded. He found that the more he interacted with his grandson-in-law, the more he felt that he was not simple. Although he didn't understand many of his words, the more he talked to him, the more he learned.
"This shouldn't be the first time you've sensed this power, right?”Tang Ke looked at his grandson-in-law and asked with certainty.
"Yes, when I first came to this house not long ago, I felt this strange power at the door. It was just that it was very short at that time, so I didn't sense that they were alive. The real feeling that they had life was when they came up from below.”
"Hmm…It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. "If there's someone with such intentions, they might be discovered, and that would be troublesome…" After hearing Feng Yingkuang's answer, Tang Ke frowned and lowered his head, muttering in a low voice.
"Grandpa, is there a problem?"
Tang Ke raised his head, his eyes flowing with an inexplicable brilliance. He stared at Feng Yingkuang for a while and then nodded slightly," Since you asked, then I'll tell you." Originally, I thought that this secret would follow me into the coffin. I really didn't expect that it would still be discovered.”
Hearing the solemnity in Tang Ke's words, Feng Yingkuang quickly focused his mind and sat up even straighter.
"You know what? Most of my power now comes from this ring. If I hadn't discovered it back then, I definitely wouldn't have achieved what I have now.”
As he spoke, Tang Ke stretched out his left hand under the priest's robe. On his middle finger, there was a ring inlaid with a black gemstone. It was made of an unknown material and looked ancient and strange. He quietly showed it to Feng Yingkuang." I don't know the name of this ring. At that time, I was just twenty years old. I was adventuring on the Rostocker Continent and was just a little magic apprentice.”
As soon as the ring appeared, Feng Yingkuang immediately felt a faint deathly aura from the black ring. It was very similar to the aura of the ancient martial arts he practiced.
"This ring…seems…seems…I don't know how to describe it. I feel that the aura it gives off is very familiar.”
"Oh?" Tang Ke looked at his grandson-in-law in surprise. His eyes were full of surprise, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he continued,"At that time, I didn't know what was different about this inconspicuous ring. I thought it was just a lost ring."However, as my magic power grew stronger and stronger, and I understood more and more magic knowledge, I slowly discovered that this ring contained an extremely powerful force, a force that made people tremble in fear.”
After a short pause, Tang Ke's voice continued to echo in the room.
"It wasn't until I became a Warlock that I learned that this black gemstone was a 'dragon's soul', and that what existed in this' dragon's soul 'was' death magic 'that had been completely erased from the continent five hundred years ago. It's just that I've never been able to figure out what this ring is made of. I only know that it's the bone of some kind of creature.”
If there was a third person present, a third person who knew a little about magic knowledge and the history of the continent, they would definitely be shocked by Tang Ke's words. If the news of the reappearance of Necromagic spread, the entire continent would definitely be in an extreme panic. In the historical records of every race and every country, there was a record of the long and tragic battle of the " War of the Dead ". The degree of bloodshed and cruelty made everyone who knew tremble in fear.
Fortunately, there was no third person here. For Windshadow Craze, this was the first time he had heard of these things. He did not think there was anything worth being afraid of.
"Dragon soul? What was that? Necromagic? What is this?"
"A dragon's soul is the magic crystal left behind by a dragon after its death. On the Rostocker Continent, this kind of magic crystal was extremely rare and precious. It was the highest grade magic crystal, and it contained a huge amount of magic power. It was something that every mage dreamed of. As for Necromagic, to put it simply, it was dark magic that controlled the souls of the dead. Because of the War of the Dead that took place 300 years ago, all races regarded this magic as the most evil thing. All records of necromancy were destroyed.”
Tang Ke suddenly felt like laughing out loud. He was hesitating just now, not knowing whether he should tell Feng Yingkuang about Necromagic, but he didn't expect that this grandson-in-law in front of him didn't know what Necromagic was, let alone what the War of the Dead was.
He wore this priest robe to suppress the aura of Necromagic that was not emitting much. However, in front of his grandson-in-law, his behavior was really ridiculous.
"Control the souls of the dead? Manipulating the dead? What does that mean?"
Feng Yingkuang felt that the longer he stayed on this mainland, the more wonderful things he experienced. This kind of life that he had never dreamed of before made him feel both novel and infatuated. The idea of staying here forever in his heart became firmer.
"Controlling souls is the power you saw just now. They are the souls left behind after death and have a little consciousness. Through death magic, I can indirectly control them to serve me. Controlling the dead, in simple terms, was to bring those who had died back to life, even if they had already become skeletons or corpses. However, these dead were not truly alive. They did not have their own consciousness and could only act according to the orders of the person who used Necromagic.”
Tang Ke then explained Windshadow Kuang's new question. In the current Rostocker Continent, there was probably no one who understood Necromagic better than him.
After thinking for a while, Tang Ke explained to Feng Yingkuang the War of the Dead that he had mentioned many times." The War of the Dead 300 years ago was a long-lasting war between a few high-level necromancers and humans using necromancy. In the end, the war between the living and the dead affected the entire continent, causing all races to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, once the war ended, all records of Necromagic were destroyed.”
"Oh…I see…Then what does the dragon soul you mentioned have to do with Necromagic?”
Tang Ke looked at Feng Yingkuang. He found that his grandson-in-law was really curious and seemed to be not good at communicating with people. However, when he recalled his previous life described in the morning, Tang Ke was relieved.
He patiently continued to explain,""For some reason, the soul can only survive in the dragon's soul. If it leaves the dragon's soul for a long time, the soul will automatically dissipate. Unfortunately, dragon souls were too rare.”Tang Ke shook his head regretfully, his face full of helplessness.
On the Rostocker Continent, true dragons were only legendary creatures. Even if they were demi-dragons, they were very rare. After these demi-dragons died, most of the dragon souls they left behind were obtained by other demi-dragons, and only a small number of them drifted to the continent. Even this small amount of dragon souls was controlled by various countries. Even with Tang Ke Edward's noble status, he was only rewarded with a piece of impure dragon soul after saving the former King Arthurs in an accident. It was the pale yellow magic crystal embedded in the groove on the roof.
"I seem to have quite a few dragon crystals. Do you want them, grandpa?”Feng Yingkuang suddenly said something that shocked Tang Ke.
"You have a lot? Where was he? Where was he? Of course! This was something that every mage could not find in their lifetime!”
Feng Yingkuang took out dozens of real dragon souls from the Dragon Field and handed them to Tang Ke.
"Is this enough? If you don't think it's enough, I have more here.”
"Ah!" Tang Ke shouted without any regard for his image.
Feng Yingkuang had already given him too many surprises, but now, the dozens of fist-sized Dragon Souls in front of him had completely driven him crazy...
"Oh…Father, when will the wind come out? He had already been in there for a day. What was wrong with his grandfather? Why did he have to talk for so long? Humph!" Kathleen paced around the living room impatiently, pouting and grumbling.
Peter looked at his daughter lovingly and shook his head helplessly." Can't you be quiet? Look at your Sister Luo Lina, she's not as impatient as you. Moreover, even the messenger sent by the king didn't mind the time, but you're the first to get impatient. You really can't leave your husband for even a moment!”
"Father!" Kathleen blushed at her father's words. She ran to his side and pulled him away.
"Father, do you know why His Majesty is looking for Feng? Why wasn't he in a hurry after waiting here for an entire day?”Luo Lina, who was sitting quietly at the side, asked. Although she had always appeared calm, she was as anxious as Kathleen. She did not want to leave her husband at all!
" This…I'm not sure either. You know, there are some things that we, as officials, are not in the position to inquire about…"
Although Peter didn't finish his sentence, he believed that his daughter's elder sister, the " Battlefield Rose " of Arcus, this beautiful and intelligent woman would definitely understand what he meant.
As expected, after hearing Peter's words, Luo Lina nodded thoughtfully.
A gust of wind blew past, and the open doors and windows made a flapping sound, attracting the attention of the three people in the room.
Peter patted his daughter's head and stood up. He walked to the window and felt the raging wind outside. He said in a low voice," Looks like the world is going to change!"#
