Graipnir: "In my opinion, Tunita is indeed an unprecedented genius. Because in the years when he became a prophet, he created many miracles that even future generations cannot understand.
For example, the crystal shell was invented by Tunita. Over the years, there have been countless types of crystal shells, but the core crystal shell was still invented by Tunita."
"Future generations can only expand horizontally and cannot conduct in-depth research."
In other words, future generations are only constantly changing the lower limit of the crystal shell, but the upper limit of the crystal shell is still created by Tunita more than two thousand years ago. No descendants of the Jingmu clan can surpass Tunita's achievements.
.
"And it's not just the crystal shell." Grapnel paused and continued: "There is also the era of shining stars created by Tunita. This is also a miracle that cannot be replicated."
"Even me. Even my true form, after seeing what Tunita did, I don't understand how he did it."
When Greipnir said this, he specifically glanced at Laplace next to him. Laplace also nodded in time, proving that what Greipnir said was true.
Seeing everyone's doubtful eyes, Gleipnir sighed softly: "Why did I say that? And why did I say that the era of shining stars was a lie? It's because Tunita is really completely different from other Jingmu tribe.
His thoughts have surpassed all the Jingmu clan, so that future generations have no way of understanding them and can only imitate them."
The reason why "The Elegy of a Young Man" is titled "Youth" is because all those who inherit the legacy of their predecessors in Crystal City are ignorant young men between the ages of fourteen and sixteen.
There is no other age, maybe this is a restriction of the ritual? Or, is it that only teenagers of this age group are most susceptible to the influence of ideological trends?
In short, the "young man" is the protagonist of the Holy Corpse Crystal inheritance.
Whether it was the inheritance ceremony hosted by Tunita in the past or the inheritance ceremony hosted by the Presbyterian Church later, the protagonists were all young people of the right age.
It's just that the protagonist is the same, but the ending is different.
In the past, through the inheritance ceremony hosted by Tunita, the teenagers would receive the legacy and gifts from their predecessors. Not only did they gain knowledge and abilities, but they also improved their vision and structure. They could continue to break through the upper limit on the road to future growth, and ultimately reach their personal goals.
limit.
And countless personal limits combined together created that era of dazzling stars.
But after Tunita's death, there were obvious deviations in the ceremony hosted by the Presbyterian Church.
Obviously the ceremony presided over by the Presbyterian Church and the ceremony presided over by Tunita are the same, and they also allow the young man to obtain the inheritance of his predecessors, but there is one thing that is different: the young man who inherits the inheritance of his predecessors loses his personality and eventually becomes
the predecessors.
To put it in simpler terms, Tunita allows a young man to inherit knowledge and abilities without destroying his human nature. The Presbyterian Church can also allow a young man to inherit knowledge and abilities, but the young man who inherits the abilities will no longer be himself.
, but became the deceased predecessor.
In other words, the deceased was resurrected through the boy's body through the ritual left by Tunita. "Rebirth through a shell?" Angel asked doubtfully.
Gleipnir nodded: "Yes, it can be understood why the name of this puzzle story is "The Elegy of the End of Youth", and that's why."
A group of young people of the right age who resonated with the crystal of the holy corpse entered the forbidden area. Under the illumination of the ceremony, they thought they could get gifts from their predecessors. However, they got nothing, only the lamentation of the end of life.
A young man went in, and a group of ghosts came out. This is not a tragic song. What is a tragic song?
When Gutaleis heard this, she also felt a chill rising from her back. She had good friendships with many people in the Jingmu tribe, such as Kuanda, who was her good friend.
But after listening to "The Elegy of a Young Man at the End", she suddenly became a little unconfident. Among the friends she knew from the Jingmu Tribe, would there be ghosts that took over the boy's body and returned to his soul?
For example, Kuanda, as far as she knows, is also a genius who became famous at a young age. Isn't this very consistent with the plot of being reborn under a backdoor?
Will she be the one who returns to the soul?
Think about it
Gutales felt chills all over her body when she saw this possibility. She just felt that everything was so ridiculous. Gutales said: "At the beginning, Tunita could allow people to inherit without loss, why couldn't later people do it?"
Graipnir glanced at Gutales and said softly: "This is why I say that Tunita is an unprecedented genius. Because he has done things that others cannot do."
"Even though I already know the content of this ritual, I still can't understand how Tunita operates?"
"As Angel said before, you have to pay for what you get. When Tunita was alive, those young people only received benefits but did not pay any price. This is a situation that even I can't figure out.
.”
Angel thought for a while and said, "Could it be that those teenagers had actually paid the price, but the price was borne by Tunita, or was it passed on to other things?"
Graipnir: "It is possible, but there is no evidence that Tunita paid the price secretly. The only thing that is certain is that this era of shining stars must be a false appearance, because Tunita himself must know
, there will be no more stars shining after his death, this is a lie he spun."
"Back to the price. On the contrary, now, gaining knowledge and ability will erase one's personality, which is more in line with the term 'price.'"
After hearing this, Gutaleis still frowned: "But the price is too high. Didn't the Elders Council of the Jingmu Clan think about ending this behavior? Even if they received gifts from their predecessors, this would not be enough.
The future of the Akimoku clan."
Gleipnir sneered: "The Elders of the Crystal-Eye Clan may have thought about stopping the continuation of the ritual, but sometimes they can't help themselves. It's like listening to the devil's whisper. Once you hear it, it will be difficult.
If you withdraw again, your desires and bad instincts will skyrocket, completely suppressing your conscience and occupying an absolute high ground."
Once Pandora's box is opened, it is difficult to close. This is human nature.
At this point, Gleipnir naturally moved on to the next puzzle - "Old Friends Live Forever".
"Why do the elders of the Jingmu tribe let everything happen without stopping it? Because they have tasted the benefits, because they also have old friends."
Graipnir paused and looked at Angel: "You should still remember the live broadcast ceremony before." Angel nodded.
Gleipnir: "As long as you have seen that ceremony, you should understand why the Elders are unwilling to give up."
Angel knew what Gleipnir meant, but Gutales next to him had a question mark on her face: "What is the live broadcast? And what is the ritual you are talking about? Is it a ritual in the forbidden area?"
Did you go to a forbidden area?"
Gleipnir glared at Gutales angrily: "The location of the forbidden area of the Crystal Eyes and the location of the gathering are completely different. Since we are gathering now, it must mean that we have not gone to the forbidden area."
Gutales: "Then what is the live broadcast ceremony you are talking about?" Gleipnir did not speak, but looked at Angel.
Live broadcasting is Angel's ability in itself. Although it is not necessarily a secret, she cannot explain it to others.
Angel also understood what Gleipnir meant, and took the initiative to say: "The live broadcast is just a form of performance, Ms. Gutales
You don’t have to worry about it. As for the ceremony mentioned here, I have witnessed the whole process and am willing to share it with the lady.”
After that, Angel briefly introduced their previous experiences.
When they came, they passed by a ring fort and were cleared by Jingmu soldiers. Then, they witnessed a scene in which an elder from Cassata summoned an old friend through a ritual.
Angel: "Because it was too far away at the time, I couldn't see clearly. I can only confirm that this old friend of Cassata is most likely just a consciousness, or a departed soul, and is definitely not an entity."
Speaking of this, Angel did not continue, but Gutales also understood what he meant.
Suppose that this soul or consciousness is finally combined with a young man of the right age. Then the young man's consciousness is erased and the card is
Satana's dead old friend returns to the world.
Then, everything can be explained.
Gleipnir: "Now you understand, it's not that the Elders are unwilling to give up the ritual, but that they themselves have a past that they can't let go of, and there's a person deep in their hearts that they can't forget."
"And "Old Friends Live Forever" tells a similar story." Two thousand years ago.
After the death of Prophet Tunita, the Council of Elders discovered that there was something wrong with the ritual left by Tunita.
At that time, some elders also thought about stopping it, and even said that the Elders Council agreed to the plan. However, when it came time to implement it, they found many difficulties.
Because the prestige of Prophet Tunita was so high during his lifetime that countless people had absolute trust in what he did. At this time, they want to refute the prophet's ideas, which is like telling fanatics about pagan doctrines.
Not only is it an act of seeking death, but no one will pay for it.
And the most important point is that if you want to completely eliminate this ritual, you must destroy Crystal City, the wonder building at the core of the ritual.
But would the Presbyterian Church dare to do this? They would not.
The entire Jingmu clan has moved into Crystal City for several generations.
In Crystal City, people no longer have to worry about accommodation, food and clothing, and they don't have to worry about falling on the frozen soil. They can also get to know more compatriots and establish friendly or close relationships.
Whether it is people's livelihood, education or even fertility issues for the next generation, the existence of Crystal City is indispensable.
Now it is demolished as soon as it is announced. Not only will the people not pay the bill, but the Presbyterian Church itself will not agree to it either.
There is no way to dismantle the wonder buildings, and there is no way to prevent the people from integrating the holy corpse crystals into the Crystal City. Even if the ceremony is stopped in a short period of time, it is not difficult to make great achievements.
This is already the consensus of the Presbyterian Church.
This was indeed the case. It didn't take long for the stalemate to be broken. Moreover, it was the elder of the Presbyterian Church, or the Grand Elder, who broke the stalemate.
The Great Elder did not have any partner and lived a very ordinary life. He was handed over to the Jingmu clan for most of his life. In the eyes of everyone, he was a good example of dedication and dedication.
However, the Great Elder is not without his ties. He has a very close friend.
The friendship with this close friend can be traced back to the time when the two mothers bathed together in the Xiong Lake before they were born. During the hundreds of years of interaction, one of them became the Great Elder and was involved in all matters within the Crystal City;
One became a warrior and guarded the Mirror Gate of the Crystal Kingdom all year round.
Although these two close friends have taken completely different paths, their relationship has not disappeared. On the contrary, because they are both in high positions and there are no close people around them, their relationship has become even closer.
Almost every week, the Great Elder would communicate with his close friends on the front line through letters. As time went by, the bond between them became deeper and deeper.
But because the bond was too deep, when bad news came from the front line, the great elder felt that the world had collapsed in an instant.
A mirror ghost emerged from the dark mirror realm and tried to invade the Crystal Kingdom. In order to protect the people of the Crystal Eye tribe, his close friend dueled with the mirror ghost in front of the mirror gate. Although he finally killed the mirror ghost, he himself was also consumed.
When the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, he died.
After the Great Elder learned the news, he personally went to the front line and brought his friend's holy corpse crystal back to Crystal City.
After the burial, the great elder spent several years in a state of confusion.
Until one day, the great elder suddenly discovered that a fifteen-year-old boy resonated with the crystal of his best friend's holy corpse.
"There is a more detailed continuation of this story, but there is actually no need to go into it in depth, because at this point, I believe you can guess the plot that follows." Gleipnir said calmly.
Gutarese: "The great elder chose to let his old friend enter the body of a young man and return to the human world."
Graipnir nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because the Great Elder made this move that this ritual, which had been nominally sealed, was reactivated and continues to this day."
"The so-called "Old Friends Live Forever" is just such a story."
Guta Lei frowned: "Under the skin of beautiful friendship, there are young souls who scream silently. No wonder, every time I come to Crystal City, Kuanda always reminds me not to mention it.
The topic of the Holy Corpse Crystal."
"Originally I thought it was to respect the deceased, but now that I think about it, it turns out it was to whitewash the peace."
Graipnir: "Although your divergent thinking is not wrong, Kuanda's reminder is not exactly what you think. Kuanda is your close friend, and she told you this, just
I just don’t want you to be noticed by the giant city spirit.”
Why do they still have to put up a barrier outside even if they use a psychic tether to talk? Isn't it just to avoid being noticed by the giant city spirit?
The Giant City Spirit has long been tamed by the Council of Elders and will search for anyone who mentions the keyword. Once you mention the Holy Corpse Crystal, it is equivalent to being on the Giant City Spirit's watch list.
Once you are found to have behaved abnormally, you may be "whitewashed".
As the spirit of the wonder building, the giant city spirit is very powerful. Moreover, the spirit of the building has a characteristic. Within the scope it covers, it can almost be called a god.
The Crystal City is the area covered by the Giant City Spirit. Especially now, they are in the body of the Giant City Spirit.
Within the scope of the ring fort, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Titan is the supreme god. In his current state, Laplace is definitely no match for the Titan.
Even Gutaleis couldn't turn over inside the body of the giant city spirit.
Kuanda asked Gutaleis not to mention the Holy Corpse Crystal, but she was actually protecting her in disguise.
Gutales looked at Gleipnir: "I have a question to ask. Since you mentioned Kuanda, do you know whether she is an undead soul that has returned from the holy corpse crystal?"
