After passing through the thick rock wall, the destination of Lane is a mess. Countless kobolds were burned dry and then evaporated. Their remains and their various collections are displayed in this secret room.
The space of the secret room is not very large, about fifty square meters. The kobolds' poor artistic concepts have decorated the secret room like a garbage dump, with various brightly patterned strips of cloth and paper piled up indiscriminately, as well as various seized items.
Come with weapons.
In the center of the secret room, an ancient holy altar is clearly visible. The emperor, whose whole body is shining with golden light, is standing next to the ancient holy altar. As always, the face of the Lord of Humanity is very cold, but the aura on his body is already gone.
Ryan is countless times stronger than when he first saw him, which proves that his soul has been resurrected and healed.
Grabbing a piece of nugget gold, Ryan admired the pure gold and said casually to his father: "I always thought that in order to find the ancient holy altar, I had to cross mountains and seas, break through the top of the world, and travel across the continent.
You have to go to every place to find the altar of the ancient saint... However, things went smoothly beyond imagination."
"Luck is also a kind of strength. The fact that you can find another ancient holy altar so quickly is far beyond my plan." The emperor replied calmly.
"So... is it father who has been beeping like a loudspeaker here that makes so many miners go crazy?" Ryan asked curiously, and by the way, this guy took all the kobold gold collected by the kobolds in the secret room.
Collected.
"No, he was a stupid guy who tried to open this altar." The emperor's voice was as cold as winter: "Although his strength was pretty good, he still died tragically here. You have seen his bones outside.
."
"I didn't expect that the world-famous former Grand Master of the White Wolf Knights would die in this way. What a twist of fate." Ryan came to his father's side: "What about you, father? How did you find this place?
?”
"When you entered here, I had already discovered the altar of the ancient saint. After that, I will be here waiting for your arrival." Wisps of light on the golden plate armor of the emperor tilted in the small space, supreme
The power of the evil spirit is filling this small secret room: "You have now attracted the attention of the evil god. You must be careful every step you take."
Ryan nodded. He reached out and used his spiritual power to awaken the altar of the ancient saint. The emperor just stood aside and watched Ryan's movements coldly. The father and son said nothing.
Until Ryan took the initiative to break the silence: "Father, I seem to be...somewhat different from my brothers?"
"You are different in many ways, Lion, you are you, they are them, you are different from them, you are my son, they are my outstanding works." The Emperor replied, he was not wearing a helmet, only wearing a helmet.
Wearing a golden laurel crown on his forehead, he revealed his noble face: a face that brought together all the miracles and lights in the world, enough to make anyone offer eternal loyalty the moment they saw it.
It is no longer shrouded in golden light and blurry as before, and it is no longer as looming and trying to maintain it as before. Ryan knows that his father has completely absorbed the energy of the ancient saint, and his soul has been healed. He is the Lord of Humanity.
Already on the verge of returning, he only needs a physical body, a physical body strong enough for him to walk in the world.
"Father...have you ever had a woman you liked?" Ryan suddenly asked a strange question without thinking, without stopping.
"Yes, when I was young, before I knew my true nature, I, like you, had a woman I liked." Unexpectedly, the Emperor answered Ryan's question calmly, without any emotion in his tone.
, sounds like lying.
"Okay." Ryan asked for trouble, but seeing that his father didn't look angry, Ryan was silent for a long time, and then he said: "Father, can I ask you a question seriously? Very seriously."
"Why? Why do you still love us?"
"After experiencing so much sorrow and so much pain, you watched the empire you created fall apart. You watched civilization and enlightenment gradually be replaced by ignorance and superstition. Humanity not only faced countless powerful enemies, but also itself
The interior is also full of rebellion and corruption, with politicians wielding power in your name, one sector after another falling into darkness, and technology continuing to regress every day."
"The rebellion of Horus has put mankind beyond redemption. You have fought against the demons in the subspace for more than eleven thousand years for the survival of mankind. You also know that Chaos cannot be eliminated. As long as there are living creatures, they will always be there.
Rebirth in the subspace will always make a comeback. Endless wars and sacrifices can only be exchanged for survival again and again."
"But you still love us, you still try your best to help us, and you still try your best to revive and lead this decadent and declining race. Why?"
The emperor's eyes finally fluctuated. He stretched out his hand and stroked Ryan's head, and for the first time there was emotion in his tone.
It was a gratifying feeling: "Just because of love."
"Just because of love?" Ryan asked curiously.
"My existence comes from a crazy sacrifice. Tens of thousands of years ago, humans were still drinking blood. However, although the subspace is not as chaotic and dirty as it is today, it is already full of crises."
The emperor calmly told a piece of history.
"At that time, those who led mankind in the darkness were some subspace spellcasters. They were called shamans. A small number of humans had the ability to cast spells with the help of subspace. They worked hard to lead mankind for the welfare of mankind.
go ahead."
"But it didn't take long. When humans were still very weak, they couldn't attract the attention of Chaos at all. But when the number of shamans gradually increased, and when the power of humans gradually grew, these shamans still attracted Chaos' attention after all.
Chaos demons, because the essence of shaman's spellcasting is to use the energy of subspace. As long as they cast spells, demons will appear in the cracks of subspace and tear them apart."
"As the shamans died on a large scale, the remaining shamans knew that their time was running out, so they made an astonishing decision. For the future of mankind, they committed collective suicide. Through special sacrificial secrets,
The souls, powers, knowledge, and love and reluctance of all shamans merge into one, forming one huge soul."
"That's me, I am the lord of mankind, and my love for mankind needs no reason."
"Father... I can't thank you enough for the endless sacrifices and struggles you have made for us." Ryan knew how much his father had paid and how much he had sacrificed. He couldn't help but have red eyes. He suddenly felt dissatisfied with his father.
and suspicion are excessive.
It is precisely because of his father's selflessness towards mankind that he is stingy towards Ryan.
He finally understood. At this moment, the son understood the difficulty and hardship of his father.
The Primarch burst into tears.
"Thank you, but I have heard enough of this kind of praise." The emperor's words were still cold, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
"I always feel that I grow up very slowly." Ryan changed the topic.
"This is the right way to grow up." Who knew that the emperor did not agree with this. He shook his head slightly: "My son, do your own thing well. This is enough. Your brothers still need you to save them."
Ryan nodded, he no longer struggled with this matter.
As the altar of the Old Saint was opened by Ryan, the Emperor began to absorb the energy left by the Ancient Saint. Ryan ransacked the so-called Kobold Holy Land like a bandit. He took away all the valuable things. Originally, the secret room should
It was very dim, but the golden glow on his father's body was really bright enough. He could only sit sideways: "Father, do the ancient saints still exist?"
"If you look at the concept of race, the Ancient Saints no longer exist. They were completely wiped out in the War of Heaven, but if you look at individuals, there are still a small number of Ancient Saints surviving in the world." The emperor absorbed the pure blood.
The energy of the Ancient Saint understands the unique knowledge of the Ancient Saint, and at the same time can answer Ryan's question multi-tasking: "Creatures like the Ancient Saint are immortal and immortal. They have transcended the constraints of the physical body. As long as they are willing to hide, there will still be a very small number of them.
The Old Saint survived... There was also an Old Saint on your original planet, walking around the world pretending to be a human."
Ryan thought about it for a moment and knew who the ancient saint was. Thinking of what he had done when he was young, he couldn't help but sweat. Then he continued to ask: "Who are the rumored Demon Toad Slan on this planet?"
An ancient saint?"
"No, they are just servants created by the ancient saints in their own image. As I said, the ancient saints have transcended the physical body. They are pure energy bodies."
"What about the gods of this world? Are they also energy bodies?"
"This world is enveloped by the eternal giant subspace storm, which makes this world isolated from the outside world. The existence of the gods absorbs the positive emotions in the subspace and eventually becomes gods... They are essentially the same as the Chaos Gods."
"Are the four gods of chaos in this world the four gods of chaos in the universe?"
"Yes and no. Although the subspace of this world is related to the outside world, it is not one."
Time gradually passed in the communication between father and son.
Three hours later, another ancient holy altar was reduced to ruins.
"Interesting, this altar records some of the ancient saint's techniques on how to isolate the influence of subspace for scientific and technological research and development. I think the mechanical monks on Mars will like it, um... There is also information on how to create instruments that seal the fragments of the Star God.
, this may come in handy in the future..." The emperor said to himself.
"Is that enough? Father?"
"That's enough." The emperor's body was burning with golden flames, and his eyes were shining with divine light. He looked at his son who was sitting beside him, and whispered with the majesty of a god: "I am about to revive."
"Ryan, my son, continue to stay in this world. Your existence is top secret. Preventing the arrival of the Final Moment is still your first mission." The Emperor turned around and stretched out his hand towards Ryan.
hand.
The Emperor gathered unimaginable vast spiritual energy, and violent light burst out from the body of the Lord of Mankind from the inside out. Ryan had to reach out to cover his eyes to resist the strong light. The power of life and death was being controlled by the Supreme Lord.
Holding it in the palm of your hand - it is a power that overwhelms all things and devours everything, enough to completely wipe out any form of life from all levels.
The Emperor, the great Master of Mankind, wanted to give his beloved son a small gift.
A white ball of light appeared from his father's hand. It shot directly into Ryan's eyebrows. The vast knowledge and the supreme use of spiritual energy were imprinted in Ryan's mind. This was a gift from the emperor and his love for him.
Son's preference.
Ryan knew how valuable this was. This knowledge was sought after by many Primarchs, but now it was given to him so easily. He didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper: "Father, I..."
"The Custodes who came to support you are already on the way." The Emperor said in a deep voice: "Because the Webway Gate cannot transport large armies, and because your identity must be kept strictly confidential, I only sent four Custodes terminators.
We will arrive here soon."
"I am the sharp sword in your hand, father, drive me to your heart's content!" Ryan stood up. Although his height was very different from that of the emperor, the determination shown by his son was not inferior to that of his father.
The fists of the Gray Knight Primarch and the Master of Mankind collided: "Let us face it together."
…………
By the time Ryan came out of the mine, it was already the next morning.
Alfred breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him come out: "Ryan, you finally came out. I originally discussed with Estelle that if you don't come out by noon, we will go down to find you!"
Ryan shook his head and said nothing, and then everyone noticed that he was carrying a skeleton.
"This is..." Estelle stood up, and the sharp-eyed half-elf knew what Ryan was carrying.
"You all, please go out. I want to pay my last tribute to Mr. Logan Flins, the White Wolf Paladin." Ryan put the skeleton down and motioned for everyone to go out.
Although he has become the chosen one of the Lake Fairy, Ryan is still legally a White Wolf Knight, and his actions are in line with his status. Alfred and Estelle sighed and exited the room one after another.
Ryan stayed alone in the room. He first took out the white wolf holy oil and smeared it on the bones. Then he took out the wolf skin and wolf fangs, and offered a final hymn to the ill-fated White Wolf Paladin.
Through the secret method left by his father, he awakened a soul fragment in the bones of Logan Frings, and the memory of the White Wolf Paladin was revealed in front of Ryan.
From birth, Logan Frings was baptized at the age of seven, became a knight errant at the age of fifteen, became a white wolf knight at the age of twenty-six, and became a white wolf paladin at the age of forty-five. After the great holy war, he became a lonely man.
The leader of the White Wolf Knights has traveled half of the continent alone, reaching as far as the wasteland of the south and the darkness of the east.
Finally, fifty years ago, Logan Frings came to Marienburg. By coincidence, he came to the deep mining area and discovered the ancient holy altar. However, he tried to use brute force to forcefully open the ancient holy altar.
, but was counterattacked by the defense mechanism set up by the Ancient Saint, was seriously injured, and was surrounded by the kobold tribe, eventually dying in battle.
Wait! After reading Logan's memories, Ryan suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.
What's wrong?
Ryan thought for a while, and suddenly he remembered something was wrong.
It's time! Wrong time!
The mysterious white wolf knight he saw on the mountain fortress in Nordskavel Mountain appeared to rescue the fortress defenders. It was sixteen or seventeen years ago!
But Logan Flynns died fifty years ago!
That mysterious White Wolf Knight is not Logan Frings at all!
