Chapter 229: The Sorrow of Deepness (97): The Reappearance of the Mask (Chinese)
"What should I do now? Do I go to the so-called ruins without any preparation?" Adaroni asked. Although he, as a dragon clan, has a sense of arrogance that is above mortals, in fact, he is still cautious in doing things.
"I know what you are worried about, Adaroni." "Fu Bing" turned around and looked at Adaroni with a smile, slapped his shoulder with one hand, stroked the strong wings with the other, and explained:
"It's the best of us. When I just interpreted the information behind the dark magic power through the 'first-back', I did not read the danger. The "Dark Book" says: Era VI: Even if the god of darkness is entangled by darkness, its heart is not likely to be eroded by any non-creator's power. Gods will not take deception as a karma, and it is even more impossible to deceive its believers and believers. But the god of darkness allows humans who hold the power of darkness to mislead others for survival. After all, being born in darkness means giving up many benefits under the light."
"So what you mean is that the Lord of the Night will not deceive you, there is no danger there?" Adaroni said in disbelief.
"Of course, and I can feel that the ruins are not very powerful, and we will be back soon. While the people sent by Yaroslav and the pastor of St. Ivan's Cathedral were not noticed, we had to take the lead and at least find His relics." "Fu Bing" raised his mouth slightly, and said with undetectable joy and excitement:
"The Lord of the Dark Night has just ushered in an unexpected major failure. I guess behind these relics may be some kind of transaction that coexists with danger and opportunity."
"trade?"
"Yes, transaction." "Fu Bing" further analyzed:
"It has been recorded in many books describing extraordinary events and about the sequel gods. The Lord of the Dark Night is accustomed to meeting the world in the form of a teenager. This time, he used his 'monsterized' body to descend to the world, either a major event occurred or he accepted the task from a higher dimension.
"The Lord of Dark Night is already the god of Order 2. There is only an eternal and indelible dark cloud above him. That is, the creator of existing time and space, the creator of continents and planets, the creator of all life, the creator of elements, the great god sleeping in nightmares, and the final arbiter of rules and 'reason'."
"Strange, there are so many people on the Lord of Dark Night. We can't remember if you say this." Adaroni frowned.
"Oh, you should read more, Yadaroni." "Fu Bing" said angrily:
"When you return to Binglin City, whether you want to go back to the East or not, promise me to go to the Federal Library a few more times, okay? The titles I just mentioned belong to one person, the Creator that gods and users of the magic power often mention.
"However, among the two assumptions I just made, I prefer the latter. You should know that the Lord of Dark Night has not appeared in this world for a long time. Compared to the current exhaustion of magic power, the magic power in the first and second eras is sufficient, just like a drop of water in the sea.
"At that time, those magicians who were very familiar with controlling the magic power could do everything technology could do after the Steam Age. However, because the magic power is too thin now, people think that the complex, unpredictable, and exciting magic skills in the past were just a witness to people's abundant imagination at that time."
"This is true." Yadaroni agreed:
"At that time, flying was the most basic ability. As for other skills to liberate the body and go to any place, it was just a very simple compulsory course. After coming out of Serner Prison, I always felt a sense of heavy powerlessness, and an indescribable sense of fatigue lingering in my spiritual realm. Now, it should be because of the significant reduction in the power of the magic source in this wasteland era."
"Yes, if the magic power is abundant, you can naturally maintain the form of the 'giant dragon clan' without any scruples, and will not open the dragon realm after the Khitan Rises emperor "Lucky" relies on the 'Ori's Steel Stone' to release you from the illusory prison, but you can only maintain the half-human and half-beast "half-dragon man" form." "Fu Bing" continued:
"Okay, without further ado, let's go over and take a look."
Following the information that he had just relied on the "Book of Retrospect" skill to grab from the filth on the black ground, Yadaroni and Anastahili followed "Fibing" to walk out of this Khitan Ris complex.
Walking through the dry and cold building complex, the three of them found that the buildings here seemed more declining, dirty and dilapidated than when the sun was abundant in the morning. The entrance of each building was filled with stones and bricks of the same material as the building, the walls were cracked, and the paint paint on the surface fell off for a long time, presenting a gradual decline of decay, which looked like this desperate wasteland world that was gradually stiff and collapsed.
Fortunately, due to the "harmful" fog that lasted for many days and the destruction of the "monster body" of the Lord of the Dark Night, there were no more wild beasts and "exotic creatures" here. The three of them saw a river with clear water flowing without going far away.
Listening to the crisp and pleasant sound of the river water washing the shore, Adaroni discovered that after the thick fog disappeared, those black branches that were forced to wither and all the leaves fell off had begun to extend outward, either as thin as spider silk or as thick as tentacles, and rare new buds began to sprout.
After jumping over the river in one step, the three of them discovered a path among the withered leaves and bushes.
Due to the fog, the leaves of the trees fell off, and a simple remains hidden behind the trail emerged in front of the three of them.
After walking easily to the simple ruins, "Fu Bing" discovered that there was only a sculpture depicting the image of the Lord of the Dark Night, as well as a relatively simple two-story Cruzder-style rural log cabin.

"No wonder the explorers who occasionally pass by here have never discovered these relics in recent years. The branches and leaves of these trees were originally blocking the sky, but because the sudden fog fell down. There was also the sculpture, if it did not have enough dark power, it would be impossible to play the role of modifying the cognition of passers-by and sending them wrong signals.
"I think this should be the place where the relics of the Lord of the Dark Night are stored. This small ruin must be His former residence."
"Will the gods live in such a shabby, dilapidated and simple place? Captain Fubing? This does not conform to the character of the gods. As far as I know, the gods promoted by the patriarchs of the Orthodox Bishops are always accustomed to the magnificent temples, bright candlelights and praises of believers, because the praise and worship of believers are the foundation of their existence." Anastahiri looked around and asked in confusion.
"Fu Bing" did not answer him immediately, but slowly walked to the vicinity of the Lord of the Dark Night sculpture, looking at the cute and sharp appearance depicted by the sculpture, and replied:
"Other gods represent more or less what humans cannot obtain through hard work, such as light, such as eternal life. And darkness does not require any desire or effort, it will always exist in any corner of the pathetic world in which we live.
"Even if you have worked very hard, overcome almost all difficulties, and reach the highest peak that ordinary people cannot reach, darkness will pop up inadvertently to infringe on you and create endless troubles for you. Moreover, despicableness and fraud are the mainstream of human survival, and violence and evil are the enduring principles of human beings. Therefore, the Lord of the Dark Night does not need anyone's prayer to maintain existence, or in other words, anyone may be praying or practicing the "reason" that belongs to darkness at any time."
"The nature of human beings is evil and darkness, and this is not wrong at all." Adaroni said indignantly:
"If humans in the First Age had not exiled our dragons to the illusory dragon territory, if Cruzder's royal family had imprisoned me in Serner Prison, perhaps, I would not have experienced these tragedies and would have lost contact with Wright Hayne."
"So, sometimes I think that the 'unhearted human virus' is indeed a transformation of human beings. It makes those human beings shrouded in darkness and desires completely crazy and perish themselves, and allows those human beings who stay and believe in justice and light to stick to their great faith." "Fu Bing" said, this is his rare positive evaluation of human beings.
Immediately afterwards, he stood in front of the sculpture of the Lord of Dark Night, closed his eyes tightly, and tapped his hands between his forehead and his left and right chests. After making the standard movement before praying to the gods in the bishop, he crossed his hands on his chest and recited the words praising the Lord of Dark Night in the ancient middle language.
After doing all this, he led Adaroni and the others to open the brand new log door and enter the room.
The furnishings in the entire log cabin are no different from those in the Cruzde country family, including wooden tables, chairs, sofas, and a fireplace with dust scattered nearby, and a metal pipe that leads directly to the top for exhaust.
In the middle of the wall inside the house is a portrait of Cruzder's greatest emperor, Ivan XII, and Alexander Rurik, the founder of the Cruzder Federation.
After careful observation and feeling the fluctuations of the magic source power, "Fu Bing" said:
"It's ordinary here, not like an extraordinary thing, not like an orderly monster."
While he was confused, Anastahiri's voice came from behind him and Adaroni:
"Captain 'Fu Bing', there is a staircase here that goes downwards and should lead to the basement."
"Oh? Go and have a look." "Fu Bing" ordered.
The three of them walked through the narrow stairs forward and behind through the dim passage with brass candlesticks hanging on the walls on both sides, and then they came to a room that still seemed very narrow.
However, when the three of them had just entered it, the kerosene lamp made of unknown metal on the ground, which was very exquisitely carved, suddenly lit up, and the flames in it burned straight up without any influence, which immediately made the room brighter.
