"Is the wonder building a part of a high-level ceremony?" Gutaleis said with some surprise: "So, Tunita's construction of the wonder of Crystal City is actually preparing for a large-scale ceremony?"
Graipnir glanced at Gutales and said calmly: "Isn't that right? You'll find out if you continue listening."
After finishing speaking, Gleipnir changed the subject and began to tell the story corresponding to the third piece of the puzzle - "The Resonance of the Holy Corpse Crystal".
"Holy Corpse Crystal, I think you have all heard of it."
"To put it bluntly, the holy corpse crystal is the corpse of the Jingmu tribe."
The characteristics of the Jingmu people are very obvious. Their skin is like transparent glass, their flesh and blood is like colorless liquid gold, and their bones are like icicles on the frozen soil. Their whole people are like ice crystals.
This is indeed true. Normal people will go through the process of decay and return to ruins after death. However, the Jingmu tribe is different. They will turn into a human-shaped transparent crystal after death.
And this transparent crystal is the so-called "Holy Corpse Crystal".
"When Tunita built Crystal City, it was still under normal construction at the beginning. It used permafrost soil as the base, unmelting ice as the walls, and incombustible frost as embellishments. But as the construction entered the final stage,
Tunita suddenly made a new request to the Council of Elders."
Tunita's order was very strange. All the members of the Presbyterian Church at that time subconsciously rejected it when they saw it.
Because Tunita's order is that from now on, the crystals of the holy corpses of all newly deceased people will be integrated into the wall and used as materials to build the Crystal City.
The holy corpse crystal is the corpse of the Jingmu tribe. Although the Jingmu tribe looks very different from humans, their attitude towards the deceased was similar to humans at first.
The Council of Elders unanimously agreed that this was an act of blasphemy against the deceased and would never be tolerated. Even if it was His Excellency the Prophet who issued the order, he would still resist.
Facing the fierce resistance of the elders, Tunita did not object, but secretly issued the same order to his supporters in his own name.
As a prophet of the clan, Tunita is a god-like existence to many of his fans. Although Tunita's orders may sound a bit rebellious, to fanatics, how can they dare to question the will of "god"? Besides,
, Prophet Tunita’s order is that in the future, the holy corpse crystals of the newly deceased will be integrated into the Crystal City. It does not necessarily mean that he will die, and it will not affect him in a short period of time, so it doesn’t hurt to support him.
In addition, Tunita's Crystal City is open to all tribesmen. For some people at the bottom, this is a gift of reincarnation. In the past, after their death, their bodies were randomly buried in the frozen wasteland. Now, integrating into the Crystal City is equivalent to
Accompanying the descendants in disguise is much better than leaving their bodies in the wilderness.
For a time, there were many supporters from top to bottom.
It is estimated that only the prophet Tunita has been able to do this since ancient times, allowing the upper class nobles and the lower class people to reach a consensus on the same policy.
However, the consensus of the people cannot immediately overturn the consensus of the Presbyterian Council. The Presbyterian Council is still unwilling to allow the Holy Corpse Crystal to be integrated into the Crystal City.
Tunita still didn't take any action against the Presbyterian Church's stubbornness, but just waited silently for a time. Half a month later, the time came...
A guard of the Jingmu tribe encountered an ice wind disaster that had never happened in a century while patrolling, and was blown up by the ice wind and disappeared.
It was said that he was missing, but in fact everyone knew that this Jingmu clan guard would definitely die if he encountered the catastrophe of the ice wind. The body was probably swept hundreds or even thousands of miles into the unknown wasteland.
The guard's family wanted to find him, even if it was his body.
They kept looking for people and prayed to the guards to look for them. But the guards refused to do this thankless task without hesitation.
At this time, they thought of the command of Prophet Tunita - to integrate the newly deceased into the Ice Crystal City.
If this order is to be carried out, the body of the guard must be found first.
Using this reason, they reported it layer by layer, and finally it was known to Tunita. Without any hesitation, Tunita's prophet immediately used all kinds of forces to start searching for the person who suffered the disaster.
of guards.
After the catastrophe of the ice wind passed, it only took a day and a half to find the guard a hundred miles away. As everyone expected, the guard had died and turned into a crystallized human form.
Under the sad gaze of his family, he integrated into the Crystal City in the name of the Holy Corpse Crystal. Because of the support of public opinion, even the Presbyterian Council did not dare to have an opinion on this and could only acquiesce.
After this incident, the storm slowly subsided.
Half a year has passed in a flash.
During this period, some members of the Jingmu tribe also died, but these dead people were buried according to the traditional way. Even if their families supported the prophet, they still supported the prophet, and they still had to do it in the original way.
Tunita didn't say anything about this, until one day, he brought all the people of the Presbyterian Church together. In front of all the elders, he led a wandering ignorant young man into his secret room.
Half a day later, when the homeless boy appeared again, he was a changed person.
Before, he was ignorant and cowardly. But now, he is not only literate, but also has his own opinions. Even if he cannot reach the height of a scholar, he has surpassed most ordinary people.
Before, although he had some strength, he did not have any extraordinary abilities, and his fighting was unorganized; but now, he can not only control the crystal shell, but also use the power of ice crystals.
Such a huge gap between before and after shocked everyone in the Presbyterian Church. What is going on? Why is there such a big contrast?
Faced with the doubts of the Presbyterian Council, Tunita gave an incredible explanation: "The resonance of the holy corpse crystal."
According to Tunita, he obtained the blueprint of Crystal City accidentally and has incredible abilities: as long as the Holy Corpse Crystal is integrated into the Crystal City, once the Holy Corpse Crystal resonates, it means that a person will appear in the Crystal City.
A person who can inherit the inheritance within the Holy Corpse Crystal.
To sum up, there is only one sentence: the holy corpse is crystallized in the Crystal City and can be turned into a medium for inheriting abilities and knowledge. The prerequisite is resonance.
And this wandering young man resonated with the guard who died in the Ice Wind Tribulation. Hence, the current situation emerged.
The wandering boy inherited the inheritance from the crystal of the holy corpse, gained part of the opponent's abilities and knowledge, and became the backbone of the Crystal City from a useless person.
Tunita's words were like a pebble thrown into a dead pool. One pebble stirred up thousands of waves...
The people of the Presbyterian Church did not believe this absurd thing from the bottom of their hearts, but the facts were placed in front of them, making them feel like an absurd drama before their eyes.
They began to inquire about the situation carefully, talked in detail with the homeless boy, and asked the Tunita prophet for advice.
As more information is revealed, they have to believe it.
The wandering boy really inherited the mantle of the dead guard!
Tunita also loudly announced at this time: "The construction of Crystal City is not only to eliminate discrimination and break down the three, six, nine, and nine classes, but more importantly, it is for the future of the Crystal Eyes clan. Just imagine, having outstanding abilities
How sad is it that our ancestors have passed away and there are no successors? Doesn’t it mean that those outstanding talents that have shone in history have disappeared in the long river of time?”
"Now, as long as the Holy Corpse crystal is integrated into the special building of Crystal City, there is a certain probability that the talents of the past heroes can be inherited from the long river of time. How lucky is this?"
"This is not against tradition, this is an innovation for the future!"
"Don't you want the Jingmu clan to get better and better? Don't you want to let the glory of our ancestors protect us as we move forward?" Tunita's last question was suspected of being a slap in the face and moral kidnapping, but it had to be
Said that this torture reached the depths of their souls.
If there is a chance to inherit the mantle of the predecessors, wouldn't it mean that a lot of detours have been avoided? For a while, the hearts of the Presbyterian Church were filled with confusion.
Tunita looked at the troubled elder and did not urge him. He just said calmly: "If you still have doubts, you might as well try it a few more times and let time prove that what I said is definitely not false."
Two years later, several teenagers received the inheritance from their predecessors in Tunita's secret room.
Finally, after seeing the ironclad facts, Chang
The first defector appeared in the Laohui, and he stood beside Prophet Tunita to express his attitude.
With the first supporter, the second, and the third, more people came over. Tunita looked at the more and more supporters around him, and knew in his heart that the general trend had become...·
The above is the story told in "The Resonance of the Holy Corpse Crystal". When Gleipnir told this section, he told it in particular detail, because the first two stories are not actually secrets, they are just introductions.
And this story already involves the biggest secret of the Jingmu clan.
After everyone listened, most of them were still in a trance. Even Gutaleis was shocked by the secret and didn't speak for a long time.
Luigi was very proud and said to Angel: "When I came to Crystal City before, didn't I tell you about the speculation about the Holy Corpse Crystal? I said at that time that the group of teenagers who came out of the forbidden area suddenly mastered
There must be something wrong with the fact that he has acquired all kinds of strange abilities. Maybe he is passing on the abilities of his ancestors through the crystallization of the holy corpse."
"See, I was right."
Luigi showed off proudly.
Angel also nodded, confirming that Luigi had indeed said this guess.
At that time, Angel couldn't believe this rumor, which was simply a fantasy. But now after listening to Gleipnir's story, he realized that what Luigi said was correct.
Looking at Luigi who was so proud, Gleipnir gave Luigi a faint look: "I have only told half of the puzzle. The story is not over yet. Do you think your guess must be right now?"
…
Luigi was stunned: "Are there any variables?"
Graipnir sneered and said nothing, but Angel spoke softly: "So far, the truth about Li Tower's danger has not yet surfaced. If Li Tower is related to the resonance of the Holy Corpse Crystal, he shouldn't have
It’s dangerous, but you should be happy about it.”
But now the situation is completely opposite. Siluda is missing, Farda is warning, and Lita is in danger. There are obviously more fishy things here.
Moreover, Angel was also very confused after listening to "Resonance of the Holy Corpse Crystal".
As a wizard, he strongly believes in a principle: since there is gain, there must be sacrifice. Even if gain and sacrifice are not equal, they must exist.
In "Resonance of the Holy Corpse Crystal", the wandering boy received the inheritance of the deceased, but what price did he pay?
Asking for nothing without getting anything in return is obviously impossible.
As expected, in the face of Angel's doubts, Greipnir nodded lightly: "Yes, getting and paying must be mutual. Even if you can't see the price now, you will definitely pay the price in the future."
Speaking of this, Gleipnir finally entered the next puzzle story: "If "Resonance of the Holy Corpse Crystal" is a beautiful dream, then "The Elegy of the End of the Boy" is the reality that exposes this dream.
"
In the hundred years since the Holy Corpse Crystal was integrated into the Crystal City, countless young geniuses were born. They inherited the mantle of their predecessors, reached their current peak in a short period of time, and then relied on their own efforts to continuously break through the upper limit.
In just a hundred years, they have achieved achievements that the Jingmu clan has not achieved in the past thousands of years.
It is precisely because these stars have been shining for hundreds of years that Tunita's reputation has been pushed to an unprecedented level, and he has become the greatest prophet of the Jingmu tribe that has never been seen before or since.
Originally there were still many people in the Presbyterian Church who insisted on tradition and were unwilling to allow the deceased to integrate into the Crystal City. But seeing such a dazzling era, they also turned their backs.
With the full support of the Presbyterian Church, Tunita's own reputation, and the subtle promotion over the past hundred years, almost all the people of the Jingmu tribe have accepted the new burial method.
Let yourself, your family, and your friends become one with Crystal City after your death.
Many people of the Jingmu tribe even feel that this burial method makes them feel more at ease, as if their deceased family members have always been with them.
Whether it's the change in ideological trends or the dazzling stars at the moment, everything is looking in the right direction.
Just when the Presbyterian Church thought that such rapid promotion would continue until the Jingmu clan reached that irreplaceable height, reality slapped them hard at this moment.
Tunita, the greatest prophet, died at the end of his life.
At first, everyone thought that Tunita's death, like so many epic poems in historical stories, was only grand for a moment, but as time goes by, those glorious past will slowly be forgotten.
but it is not the truth.
Tunita's death not only turned a page in the history book, he also brought the entire history of the Jingmu clan into an unknown destination.
The reason is that Tunita told a huge lie during his lifetime.
And this big lie has deceived everyone in the Presbyterian Church and led them into the ditch, making it impossible to turn around. Because this big lie is the current era of shining stars.
