Chapter 854
Three days later, in the office of the governor of the fortress.
Danif, whose condition has completely recovered, is still on the road of no return. She searches the densely packed books on the bookshelf in the room, looking for the ancient legends about this land.
She once told Elena about this matter. She had heard a legend before, and this legend is very likely related to the current undead infestation.
The endless summoning of the undead by the Demon King’s army is indeed a bit strange. It cannot be done without enough death energy.
The death energy that can be carried by humans obviously cannot achieve this effect. Unless they receive some secret treasure or use some scene, it is possible to do something similar.
And after a few days of reconnaissance, everyone found that the position of the Demon King’s army is very subtle. It is obvious that they are going to invade the principality, but they are stationed so far away.
It takes almost half a day to march here, not to mention invasion.
Moreover, the Demon King's army had no other movement in the past three days. Except for the pressure before Irina came, there was no attack again, as if they had no interest in the fortress and the border area.
They were busy in their camp day after day, and no one knew what they were doing.
This couldn't go on. Danif's keen intuition told her that if she let the Demon King's army run wild, something would happen in the future that would make the principality regret it.
In order to investigate what the Demon King's army was doing, Danif felt that she had to find the legend that she had once remembered.
"Got it!"
After spending half a day, Danif finally found the book she wanted in her numerous collections.
It was a parchment book that seemed a little too old. Because no one had touched it for too long, a lot of dust had accumulated on the book.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Danif, who took the book and opened it in front of her, was inevitably choked by the dust. She sneezed on the book, and the whole room was filled with the fine dust.
Put on gloves and gently touch the cover of the book, and the words "Immortal City Sherlock" are printed on the cover.
Seeing this familiar title, Danif finally recalled some memories in her mind. Immortal City Sherlock is just as the title says, telling a story about a city without death.
It is said that tens of millions of years ago, this area of the principality was not a country of ice and snow, and the terrain and environment here were like other places with spring all year round.
There are quite a few countries on this land. There is no fighting or conflict between them, and they have always lived in harmony in this world.
But humans can never restrain their greed. Without war and plunder, human ambitions cannot be released. The reason why they don't care about these is that greedy humans begin to crave more precious things.
They have no worries about food, clothing, or water, but gradually become greedy for life and afraid of death. They are afraid of losing the happy life in front of them and everything around them.
So there was a country that gave birth to an outrageous idea, which is to eliminate death from life.
As long as they don't die, everything around them won't disappear. As long as there are long years, they can live with the people they love forever.
So they prayed to the immortal Sherlock, begging the great gods to take back their right to die so that they can live here forever.
Finally, the gods heard their request and took back the right to death among humans. These humans who lost the concept of death gathered together and created the immortal city named Sherlock in the name of the gods.
This is a legend that is not famous in the principality. Danif only heard it from her mother when she was a child.
This legend is often used by parents to educate their children, telling their children that if they can be obedient and be a good child, they can become residents of the immortal city, so that they can live happily with their parents forever and never separate.
This is an extremely expected wish for children who are extremely dependent on their parents. Most of the children who have heard this story will choose to be obedient, even if they will become naughty again after a day or two.
When she was a child, Danif also believed in this legend, and thought that if she was obedient, she could become a resident of the Undying City and live happily forever as if she had entered a fairy tale kingdom.
But now that I have grown up, I only need to think about it a little to know how unreliable this legend is. Since I have lost the power of death,The right to die has become a person who will not die.
Then why haven't these immortal beings survived until now? Why has no one in the Immortal City seen it? Even the legendary Immortal City, which is very magnificent and huge, has never been seen by anyone.
As long as it is a living person or creature, it is impossible to be immortal. Even the gods who are high above in the sky will die if conditions permit.
In many books that have records or even historical facts, the fall of gods has been recorded more than once.
Whether it is a fight between gods and gods to kill each other, or mortals pulling the high gods down from the throne, these stories are all specific cases.
There is no god who can make people immortal, and there is no existence that can control death. Although gods are gods, they are more of a higher existence that controls the power of laws.
In the eyes of some atheists, gods can only be regarded as more powerful people.
After briefly recalling the past, Danif slowly opened the book in her hand and looked at the obscure ancient human language. If she had not studied it in her student days, she might not be able to understand this book now.
The above record is indeed about the story of the Immortal City Sherlock, recording everything that is said to have really happened in a tone of confession of facts.
Danif took a rough look and found that the book was very close to the story she heard when she was a child. The difference is that there is a sequel in this book, that is, the so-called Immortal City has not achieved true immortality.
One day, the Immortal City was backfired, and the residents in the city lived a life worse than death, and even the entire city was destroyed. The reason seems to be related to the fall of Sherlock, the god who controls death.
This aroused Danif's interest. She turned the book back to the first page and read it slowly with her head down and patience. She looked afraid of missing a detail recorded in the book.
