Chapter 118 Human Beings Closest to God
"What's written on it?"
"...Visitors... Being able to come here... has proved that you are capable enough... This is the burial place I have chosen. If you are ready to meet everything, open this door? "
Dunn and Aegwynn looked at each other in blank dismay. What does this mean?
Is there an enemy inside? Or treasure? Or is it just a joke?
Tang En hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I've already come here, even if there is a pit inside, I have to jump in with my eyes closed!"
Aegwynn had no objection, he clenched the weapon in his hand, and waited for Tang En to open the door.
Nora shook her head and said, "There's no danger inside."
"shut up!"
Tang En took a deep breath and slowly opened the door.
The moment the door was pushed open, rows of candles were automatically lit, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the surroundings. This is a church-like hall with several stone pillars supporting the dome above. In the center of the hall there is a high-backed seat on which there seems to be a person sitting.
Other than that, nothing else.
"It seems... there is really no danger."
Aegwynn listened intently, but there was indeed no movement inside.
Nora was very aggrieved, and stepped on Tang En's head forcefully: "I told you that there is no danger!"
They walked cautiously to the seat. Sitting on the seat was a white-haired old man, but his body looked very strong. It is estimated that he was also a strong master before his death.
Tang En didn't think that after so many years, this old man was still alive.
Who is this man?
How many people can have this kind of mentality to choose the place where death is buried for themselves, and then wait for death here?
Those complicated organs outside, the frenzied guards of the four elements... He can't be an unknown person!
At this moment, the sapphire necklace on the chest of the corpse on the seat suddenly lit up, followed by the corpse opened its eyes, and two blue sparks danced in the eye sockets!
He stood up!
Aegwynn immediately raised his long sword.
"I am—the wandering swordsman Albern Augustine!"
"I am - the human being closest to God!"
The dead man looked down at them, but his dead body exuded an astonishing aura.
"Visitor - you, are you qualified to inherit my power!?"
Arrogant speech!
Domineering speech!
but……
He has the qualifications!
"Wandering swordsman Alborn!?"
Aegwynn's eyes widened in surprise: "You are... the human being closest to God!? In the first Chaos War, you fought with the gods, won the title of demigod, and saved Prandal!?"
Albern Augustine, a wandering swordsman, wandered in Purandal all his life, learned and mastered the essence of various schools of swordsmanship in Purandal, integrated all the schools, and finally created his own swordsmanship.
That was a miracle of swordsmanship.
In the first Chaos War, he was the only human being who could stand on the same front as the gods to fight against the invasion of Chaos together!
It is said that after the war, in order to break through his limits and find a way to become a god, he embarked on a wandering journey again. Since then, no one has seen him again.
No one would have imagined that the final burial place of the human being closest to God was in the underground of this forest!
"That's right! I am Albern! Elf, are you ready to inherit everything from me?"
Alborn's voice was deep and thick, with a vicissitudes of life. He was obviously a dead person, but he could recognize Aegwynn.
"inherit?"
Aegwynn was taken aback, and shook his head to reject Alborn's proposal: "No, I am an elf, and elves will not inherit the will of human heroes."
Then Egwen thought of Tang En, and said, "Compared to me, isn't there another more suitable candidate here?"
"Elf, inherit my will!"
Albern completely ignored Aegwynn's words.
"I left the last ray of consciousness in order to pass on my comprehension in the last period of my life. Only those with the power I recognize, and only the strongest, can get my inheritance."
The corners of Tang En's mouth twitched, but he couldn't utter a word. There was no way, it was Aegwynn who had been fighting just now.
"I have spent my whole life pursuing the true meaning of power and finding a way to become a god in a human body."
"When I entered the realm of legend, I found that no matter swordsmanship or magic, what they represent is only destructive power, which is far from the truth of the world."
"After entering the realm of legend, the boundaries between swordsmanship and magic became more and more blurred, and I began to wonder."
"What is 'power'?"
"I know that when I figure this out, it's time to become a new god."
"So, to find out, I studied the mysteries of magic."
"I combine swordsmanship and magic. This new way of using power brings me closer to the truth of the world."
"Unfortunately, my time is running out."
"In the end I didn't make it."
"However, I found a new path, full of possibilities."
"This path may be the path to truth!"
"And so, when the light of my life was about to fade, I created this place to leave the last ray of consciousness."
"Only by passing my test will you be eligible to receive my inheritance and the qualification to lead to the path of truth!"
Having said that, Albern looked at Aegwynn again.
"Elf, give up your current power and accept my inheritance!"
If it wasn't for the need to give up his current power, Tang En would have found a way to accept it by himself.
It's a pity that he needs the power of mages very much now. Whether it is combat effectiveness or the convenience of building territories, mages are the best choice.
What's more, as long as he understands what he lacks now, the boundary between mage and warrior will disappear, and he can also have great power, so Tang En is not very enthusiastic about this inheritance.
But what made Dunn dumbfounded the most was that he chose an elf.
That's right, an elf with no desire to fight, no ambition.
The existence of a race like elves is inconceivable. A pure race that simply enjoys the joy of life without any drive for progress. If they were not favored by the goddess, they would not be able to survive in the wilderness full of race wars. s survived.
As the perfect creation of the goddess Nysclair, the elves' state of mind is too peaceful and optimistic. It can even be said that if the appearance of chaos had not affected the inheritance of the elves, they would not even have the mind to fight against chaos.
Therefore, Aegwynn's choice was very clear and decisive.
At this time, Tang En's heart suddenly moved, and he saw Eliya beside him.
Ai Gewen and Twain already possessed power, and it would be too risky to give up the current power to accept the inheritance, but...
Elijah did not!
If Eliya can accept this inheritance, wouldn't Ellington have a strong man in the future! ?
"Sorry," Aegwynn rejected Alborn without even thinking about it, "I still think it's better for humans to inherit the will of humans."
When Albern left the last ray of consciousness, he must not have considered that he would be rejected, so he obviously couldn't react at this time.
Alborn didn't seem to notice Tang En's existence at all, and just looked at Egwen.
"Elf, give up your power and accept my inheritance."
"That's why I said, it would be better for Tang En to inherit."
"Elf, countless years have passed, and my will is on the verge of disappearing. Now, only you can accept my inheritance! Give up your power and accept my inheritance!"
Egwen, who was very gentle, was helpless. She had already noticed the strangeness of Albern.
Aegwynn frowned, quickly thinking about countermeasures.
But after all, elves are a race that is not good at these things, and she feels helpless.
At this moment, Dunn came to Aegwynn's side.
"Aegwynn, do you want to obtain Albern's inheritance?"
"Of course not. I'm an elf. How can an elf inherit the will of a human hero. If you want, I'd be happy to help you obtain his inheritance, but he doesn't seem to see you."
"I'm not interested either, but I want Elijah to accept the inheritance."
"Elia?"
Aegwen looked at the dumbfounded Elijah: "I have no objection, but what should I do?"
Tang En smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "The Albern in front of us is not a complete person. His soul has long since dissipated, and what is left is only a wisp of consciousness, which should only have a simple judgment ability."
"It's much easier to deceive a ray of consciousness than to deceive a person."
"Albern is now like a program that has entered an endless loop. I have recognized you. Now, as long as you add variables that meet the requirements, the problem can be solved."
"Infinite loop? Program? Variable?"
Aegwynn looked puzzled: "What do you mean? A slang term in human language?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "You can think so... probably it means that we helped Yilia deceive his judgment, making him think that Eliya also meets the conditions for inheritance, and then she can get the inheritance."
"cheat?"
For this elf whose heart is as pure as crystal, this is another familiar but unfamiliar word.
Deceit is often associated with betrayal and is full of negative connotations.
But in order to help Tang En...
Aegwynn nodded: "What should we do?"
Originally, I was a little worried that Egwen would not be willing to help deceive Alborn, but I didn't expect her to make a decision so easily. Tang En heaved a sigh of relief and showed a confident smile on his face.
"According to my guess, it is actually not difficult to deceive his judgment."
"He thinks that you can get the inheritance, but you can't see us. It should be due to the strength gap between us."
"I think his consciousness chose to send an inheritance invitation to the first person who entered here."
"But he certainly didn't expect us to be the first people to come in."
"And you have been fighting just now, so he will automatically designate you as the successor."
"We passed his test together, so theoretically speaking, Eliya should also have the possibility of obtaining the inheritance."
Speaking of this, Tang En's eyes were inexplicably excited.
"Now, all he needs to do is let his consciousness think that Yilia is stronger than us, so that should be enough."
