The furnishings in the house are not too luxurious, but they are definitely not what an ordinary farmhouse should have.
There was only one person inside, an old lady who was sitting upright, full of silver hair, and exuding kindness.
Some people, especially old men and old ladies, although they have never known each other, at first glance, they can give birth to familiarity and goodwill.
The old lady in front of me is this kind of person.
Sean felt a strong sense of familiarity and intimacy in him, and a figure seemed to overlap with him—the grandmother who loved him most in his previous life.
This feeling has nothing to do with looks, it comes from breath.
The second feeling the other party gave to Sean was oldness.
This sense of oldness does not come from the body, but from the soul.
From the looks of her face, this kind-eyed old lady will never be over seventy years old. Although she has deep wrinkles on her face, she does not have age spots that are unique to the elderly.
The old breath that has gone through the vicissitudes of life originates from the soul, but it can't be concealed, just like an old pine tree full of wrinkles on a mountain.
The reason for this feeling is that in addition to the aura from the other's soul, it is also somewhat preconceived by Sean's knowledge of the other's true age.
"Sit down and talk." The ancestor said to Xiao En very familiarly, "Don't be cautious, it's like being in your own home here."
"Thank you, old ancestor." Xiao En was kind enough to find a seat respectfully, and sat down under the other's hands.
Before the formal meeting with his ancestors, Sean imagined countless possibilities.
Tensions!
Intrigue!
Weird and scary!
The only thing I haven't thought about is that there is a kind of warm and harmonious situation in front of me.
It seemed that what I was facing was not an old monster with a fierce name, but a blood relative that I had not seen for many years.
In this gentle atmosphere, Sean's body and nerves, which are as tight as a bow, seem to be relieved a lot.
Is this intentional by the other party?
This is also a kind of magic technique, used to dispel one's vigilance?
This thought shocked Sean. He was a little soothed and vigilant just now. He raised it again, and the speed of the magical energy all over his body accelerated, feeling the fluctuations of the surrounding magical magic.
But nothing was found.
Although the old ancestor’s body exudes powerful suffocating spell energy fluctuations, this situation is not intentional, much like when he just came out of the mage tower, because there are too many spells in the body. Energy is far beyond one's own control, so it can't help but radiate out.
This kind of magical energy fluctuation is free and disorderly, and does not form an obvious magical loop, and naturally does not form a spell that affects people's consciousness.
What's more, the familiar feeling didn't arise after entering the small courtyard, but only after seeing the ancestor himself.
Is it because I think too much, is this really just a blood bond?
Regarding the overreaction of Sean, the ancestor turned a blind eye and said kindly; "What are you doing sitting so far? Come, come, sit closer and let the great grandmother take a closer look."
Regardless of the kindness that the old ancestors showed in their expressions and eyes, they did not seem to be disguised, but completely from the heart.
"Damn it!" Sean couldn't help but cursed in his heart. This atmosphere is too weird. He would rather be full of gunpowder at the beginning, and solve things cleanly, instead of having the weird atmosphere in front of him. The scene of confession.
Especially the blood relationship between the two parties is quite fantastic. Before that, the two should have only heard of each other's existence, but have never seen each other before.
Well, at least I haven't seen each other, but it's hard to tell if the other party has never seen myself before.
Relying on the opponent's magic skills, even if the opponent stood in front of him before, he might not be aware of it.
Judging from the other's expression, she is definitely not unfamiliar to herself.
Although this atmosphere was a bit weird, Sean did not refuse the request of the other party in the end. He took a stool and leaned forward. Although he did not show much closeness, he did not refuse.
They come, the security.
If the other party wants to stage an emotional drama that grandparents and grandchildren recognize each other, just play it with her.
Anyway, the other party has already set up the stage, and the atmosphere is similar, and the feeling of overlapping with the shadow of his previous grandmother is also convenient for him to enter the play.
He wanted to see what tricks the other party wanted to play.
The ancestor raised his head, held Xiao En's face, and nodded again and again: "Like, really like, five points similar to your father!"
The eyes of the ancestors seemed to be somewhat moist.
Xiao En also took the opportunity to observe the ancestors carefully. The opponent's stature is not particularly tall, and he is just over six meters tall, so even if he sits in a chair higher than himself, he will still be half a head shorter than himself.
Judging from the body shape and facial contours, when I was young, they were definitely beautiful women.
Somewhat unexpectedly, the style of her clothes was not in the style of the ancient Andes Empire, but in the kind of military uniform that was more suitable.
No wonder that after I entered the house, I felt an unspeakable sense of disharmony, and my feelings were in this suit.
You are a former princess, especially the former princess who has never forgotten to restore the country. It should be normal to wear your own traditional clothes. How can you catch up with fashion?
The old ancestors babbled: "I sent the little guy Kristina to help you before. I didn’t expect that little guy would be resentful, act privately, and almost broke my plan, but that’s fine. Let you figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing in advance, and save my old man's waste of words on these old past events. I know you have a lot of problems and grievances in your heart. I come today and I am going to tell you everything. Yes, if you have any questions, just ask."
"Uh..." Sean was somewhat dumbfounded. The ancestor's reaction was a bit unexpected. Before coming, he only thought about how to reject the excessive request that the other party might make, but he didn't prepare the corresponding question.
To the Seven Apostles, to the ancestors, he did have a problem, but it was abrupt, and he really didn't know where to start asking.
After hesitating a little, Sean pointed directly to the core of the problem and said: "What exactly did the ancestors want to do? Do you really want your great-grandchildren to rebuild the ancient Andes Empire?"
"Rebuild the empire?" The old ancestor's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, and finally shook his head. "Two centuries ago, maybe I had such ambitions. Now, hehe, even the Andeans with the purest blood. There is no trace of belonging to the ancient Andes Empire anymore. Even I, a lingering and dying old immortal, rarely dream about the empire when I dream back at midnight. Time is the sharpest knife in the world. , Will kill and consume many things, not only life, but also feelings.
Time will also teach people a lot of things, such as looking at things in a longer-term perspective. There were too many factors for the collapse of the empire, but the main reason was the empire’s own ruling philosophy. In this regard, You have done much better than Empire.
According to your current development speed, the entire continent will be surrendered to your feet sooner or later. What is the difference if it is called the Andis Empire or the Eternal Night Empire? After all, what flows in your body is the purest blood of the Andes Empire. "
In the last sentence, the expression and tone of the ancestors are obviously quite meaningful.
The other party's speech is very clear and reasonable, and it is completely inconsistent with the image of the seven apostles insane ruler that Shaun imagined.
The old ancestor's negative answer made Xiao En even more confused. He really couldn't think of what the other party and the seven apostles led by him wanted.
The ancestor seemed to see through Sean’s doubts, and did not wait for him to ask again, and proactively said: "The ancestors have been trying to establish an independent regime in the Andes Mountains over the years. They really have something to ask for. It is closely related to the general environment. I don't know where you have reached in your research on spells, whether you understand the origin of sorcerers and the essence of spells."
"The origin of the sorcerer and the nature of the spell?" Sean thought. "I have heard people say that the ability of a sorcerer to manipulate spells is not innate, but during the empire. The blood is fused with the blood of the devil, thus gaining the ability to manipulate spells. Is this true? A scholar from the Warlock Alliance proposed elemental tides, which specializes in the study of the energy changes of the magical spells in the large environment. Isn't this what the ancestor said?"
"This matter seems to be two problems, but it is actually one problem." The ancestor nodded and said in an affirmative tone, "What you hear is not a legend, but exactly what happened. The control of is indeed derived from a powerful humanoid from another world. Even the energy of magic spells does not come from our world, but from the worlds that are constantly close to us.
Those worlds are completely formed by this element as the foundation. The energy activity is far above our world. I have read the elemental tidal science you mentioned. It is generally correct, but not completely. To be precise, the approach of these worlds does not completely follow periodicity, but is in a state of constant increase.
Each time the distance of the great tide, the two sides will advance by one point, until the two sides are completely glued together, the plane barrier completely collapses, and then the weaker world is assimilated and swallowed by the stronger one. "
"Assimilate and swallow?" Sean's expression became extremely solemn.
"Yes, it is assimilation and devouring. The world we live in can be regarded as a life, but this life exists in a form that we cannot understand. It survives in a larger world and also exists between different worlds. The war.
These worlds have different wills. Some of them are ignorant, but survive like this. The world we live in is this kind of world. Some worlds have existed for too long and are strong enough to be strong enough to have their own. With the desire to actively hunt, their entire world will be ruled and dominated by this will, and they will work hard for this goal.
Unfortunately, our neighbors exist in this way.
The periodic approach of the two parties is not an accident, but the other party has been locked in with us, trying to send their army to our world when the two are close enough, and then find a way to completely bind the two worlds. , So as to achieve the purpose of assimilation and swallowing. "The old ancestor said with a flat expression, as if she was talking about something completely irrelevant to her.
Sean, who felt that his heart was already big enough, was a little dumbfounded.
This sounds really fantastic and unbelievable, but it's not unreasonable to consider it carefully.
Because the law of the plane is real.
It is not impossible that the whole world is operating according to a certain established procedure or will.
I can't understand it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Just like bacteria in the human body, if they were really conscious, they would definitely not realize that they were living in a larger consciousness weight, and there was a big world outside of them that they could not imagine.
Compared with the whole world, human beings are as small as bacteria, let alone the naked eye, even with the help of advanced equipment, they can't get a glimpse of the whole world.
After taking the time to digest the news, Sean couldn’t help but said:
Assuming that everything the ancestors said is true, what does this have to do with the establishment of a unified regime in the Andes Mountains? Is it for Prepare for the future invasion of alien creatures?"
"Fighting against the invasion of alien creatures is the business of you young people. I don't have the heart to care about this. There is only one reason that has supported me to live until now, and that is when the barriers of the plane are the weakest. The father, queen, mother, and the tribe were rescued from the endless nightmare~EbookFREE.me~ the ancestor finally revealed his true purpose.
On the contrary, Sean was even more confused, and asked: "Father and queen? Clan members? Old ancestors are talking about other members of the imperial royal family? Didn't they disappear with the emperor Bressan three hundred years ago? "
"Brysan, as the last fortress of the empire, not only concentrated all the elite of the empire, but also half of the wealth. The entire emperor was transformed into a huge mage tower group. How could it be so easy to fall?" The ancestor once again revealed The look of memories of the past.
"However, the general trend at the time was indeed not on the side of the empire. The magical energy of the entire environment was declining. The magical power that the empire relied on could not fully exert its power, so the empire's think tank team proposed to the father. A great revival plan."
"Renaissance plan?" Sean repeated.
"A bold and crazy adventure plan." The ancestor explained in detail, "They exhausted all the power of the empire and transformed the imperial capital Breisan into a huge mage tower formation, and then rose from the ground..."
"Floating City?" Sean blurted out.
