The Death List Novel - Chapter 200
Chapter 200 Past And Present
[Apostle 70053, you have learned of the unfortunate encounters of the troll fink brothers. The ‘Crystal Lake Mystery’ mission progress has reached 70%. You can choose to complete the mission immediately. There is no additional reward for the progress increase.]
Seeing the notification on the death list, Qin Lun remembered the other three missing children. However, at this moment, someone also mentioned them.
“Great Mage Holk, have you seen three other human children passing through the teleportation array before us? They are two boys, Karl and Sam, and a girl named Lucy!” Michelle asked seriously.
“Three children? Ha, no, you guys are the only guests that have been teleported here in the past few years!” Old Holk shook his beard and shook his head. “They might have been teleported somewhere else!”
“Teleport to another place?” Everyone in the hall looked at each other, not understanding the old mage’s words.
“Ha, do you think that teleportation array is only connected to this place?” “This teleportation array connects all the teleportation points of the Inner World and the Watch World. It’s like a maze with countless entrances and exits. Many parts of the Watch World can reach the same place in the Inner World, and many parts of the Inner World can also reach the same place in the Watch World.”
“Teleportation is random?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. No wonder Broken Star Sky agreed to let them complete the guidance mission after the mission progressed by more than 50%. The reason for that was because finding those three children wasn’t easy.
“Ha, for all of you, teleportation is naturally random!” Holk’s gaze dodged, “So, it’s not my fault for not noticing anything wrong with the teleportation formation for so many years, is it?”
The old fellow was not an expert at lying. Judging from his words and expression, he could definitely locate teleportation with his strength. This matter would be delayed for twenty years. The old fellow’s negligence was an absolute factor, and random teleportation was only incidental.
Qin Lun and Hill exchanged glances and frowned slightly. They didn’t care if Holk was negligent. Whether the three children could be found or not wasn’t a big deal. In any case, the mission had already been completed. However, in the words of the old mage, they had another crucial guess.
“Your Excellency the Great Mage, are there many differences among the mages in the inner world as well?” Qin Lun carefully weighed his words. These mages were powerful. If they had the same idea, they wouldn’t have made the teleportation array the fairest random teleportation.
“Ha, disagreement? Child, you really underestimate this place!” Holk jumped off the large sofa and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, his expression serious. However, the cotton ball on the nightcap was swaying behind him, making it seem a little ridiculous.
“Mm-hmm, you won’t be able to return to the watch world for a short period of time anyway, so let me give you a supplementary lesson first!” Holk pondered for a long time and deliberately told the history and present situation of the Narsley world in an ancient tone.
The world of Nars is very similar to Earth. In its galaxy, it is an energy-rich planet that gave birth to many lives in ancient times. However, it differs from Earth in that it also has some small planes attached to it.
The world laws of these small planes were not complete and had all sorts of flaws, so they were not considered a world of their own. However, some special life forms were born within them as well. These creatures possessed extremely powerful abilities, but their numbers were very few. Perhaps it was because the laws of these small planes were very simple. These creatures gradually absorbed and understood the laws of the broken world over a long period of time.
However, with the passage of time, these creatures gradually grew tired of their own planes due to the scarcity of their kind, and began to enter Nars’ main world. They became the original gods of Nars’ world.
Unlike Earth, the Nars Master World was much larger and gave birth to more than one intelligent race. At first, the gods helped these intelligent races free of charge and taught the Laws of the World they had learned to all living beings.
Out of gratitude, all living beings established religion and offered up their most devout beliefs to help their God. All of this made the gods forget themselves, and they began to believe that they needed to guide and control all living beings, and … possess all living beings! This period was called the Gospel Age in Narse’s myth!
Over time, fertile intelligent races spread throughout the planet and began to compete for space. For tens of thousands of years, the divine beasts, who had always been bored to the extreme, finally discovered that apart from teaching all living beings, there was also a fun game like war.
With great interest, the gods controlled their followers to participate in the war. Creatures were slaughtered, forests were burned, rivers and rivers were polluted, and even the earth was torn apart by God’s power. This period was called the Battle of the Gods in Nars’ myth.
During the Battle of the Gods, the living environment of the intelligent races continued to deteriorate. All the intelligent races gradually awakened from the war, and they began to try to get rid of the control of the gods.
The resistance of all living beings to war infuriated God. They were like children who had lost their beloved toys and began to pour their anger on the intelligent races that they had helped. They completely forgot that they were born on the same planet as these insignificant beings.
The evil deeds of the gods eventually led to a breakthrough. The number of intelligent lifeforms far exceeded the number of gods, allowing the gods to comprehend for the first time the fearlessness of tiny lifeforms. After some of the gods died, they could only helplessly retreat back to the small plane where they were originally born and lick their wounds.
However, Divine Beast’s retreat did not completely end the war. The intelligent races suddenly realized that Divine Beast was only a slightly stronger life form than them and was not invincible. During the war, the powerful warriors and mages who had obtained the legacy of the Fallen Gods began to search for the origin of the gods under the greed for power.
Pandora’s box was opened, and the gods welcomed dusk! Tens of thousands of years ago, the once supreme Gods were hunted down like cattle by the various intelligent races, and their divine blood was smeared all over the small planes. This time, the gods who had no choice but to retreat finally tasted another flavor of war. Some gods chose to perish together, detonating their small planes of existence.
The disappearance of these planes also fed back to Nars’ main world, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis … At the same time, even the intelligent beings who had obtained the legacy of the gods began to discover that they had become the targets of others. They were treated as new gods, new targets for hunting.
Shen Mei was enjoying the same kind of suffering as everyone else! This battle between humans and gods lasted for a very long time. When the war finally ended, there were very few gods and planes in the beginning. The Nars Master World was riddled with holes, and his eyes were filled with green barbarians, losing more than ninety percent of its population.
Finally, the sober intelligent races and the final Gods signed a peace agreement. Together, they packed the remaining planes together to form Nars’ Inner World, and agreed that all powerful beings would no longer interfere in the affairs of the main world.
At the same time, they would occasionally absorb some life from the main world into the inner world. This was both to maintain the metabolism of the inner world and to forever remember the lessons and leave behind their respective legacies.
Today, Nars’ main world has regained its former vitality and prosperity, and the inner world has also formed a relatively balanced camp order.
Of course, such a balanced order is very fragile. Out of previous lessons, the factions in the inner world were no longer entangled in the pursuit of pure power. However, due to the many types of life here, world outlook, beliefs are not quite the same, there are still some “small games” between each other from time to time.
The current inner world was roughly divided into four continents, the Cursed Lands, the Northern Plains, Greenland, and Norton Gus, as well as the Purgatory Abyss and the Sea of the Stars, which divided the four continents. These places were filled with powerful beings. Of course, their numbers were incomparable to those of the main world. They were basically vast and sparsely populated.
“Ha, we belong to the southern hills of the Greenland Continent. There are three major powers, the Royal Knights of Victor, the sanctuary camp and the tower!” Holk stroked his white beard and concluded, “The choice you are going to make is to choose which faction to join!”
“Are you saying that we can also learn magic as powerful as yours, or even the inheritance of gods?” Cora held her breath excitedly.
“Hahaha, this possibility is less than one in a billion!” ‘”Of course, it’s not that there’s no chance. Most of the old fellows here have long lives. As long as you complete thousands of tests and tests before your lives are over, you’ll have a chance to come into contact with true power!” Holk rolled on the sofa with a smile.
Qin Lun and the others exchanged glances. Hill smiled and continued to ask, “Great Mage Holk, if that’s the case, why did those knights and magic societies accept us?”
“Ha, it’s good for young people to have ambition, but you have to start from the foundation. Don’t tell me that apart from the highest level of power laws, you don’t like other magical and martial skills?” Holk muttered discontentedly, “Thinking back …”
“Are you saying that we have a chance to slowly start learning low-grade magical martial skills?” Qin Lun keenly understood what the old mage meant.
“The inner world is different from the outer world. This place is sparsely populated. Other than recruiting apprentices, those forces also need odd jobs and servants!” Holk glanced at the Centaur girl’s great breasts and twirled the big pompons on her nightcap. “As long as you can help them with some chores, they will be happy to pay for them. For example, some unfashionable tricks, juggling, and so on!”
As the conversation deepened, Qin Lun and the others gradually gained a better understanding of the Narsley world. They discovered that this place also followed the principle of equivalent exchange. It was very difficult for a visitor to become an apprentice of a powerful lifeform, but it was easier to become an apprentice of an apprentice.
For example, the former necromancer named Jerry in the Crystal Lake campsite was an apprentice of another powerful necromancer. As for the troll Fink brothers, they weren’t even apprentices yet, but they had the qualifications for the future. Even so, they had paid the price of their lives for this opportunity.
Apart from apprentices, there were also odd jobs and servant jobs. This was basically similar to the mercenary system in the Horn of the Devil. The difference was that those powers gave them rewards for their magical knowledge and martial skill guidance.
Realizing that the entire guild might have entered a treasure trove of apostle skills, an uncontrollable excitement surged in everyone’s hearts.
At the same time, Qin Lun and the others had also comprehended the information about the competition team in the Broken Star System when they first entered the Nars World. Obviously, even if it was part-time jobs or servant jobs, they would still face fierce competition.
