Chapter 375 The Countess's Secret

In the weak Nicole's description, the whole story was told.

"Once... my family was extremely happy."

"My mother and father loved each other sincerely. Although there were great differences in their identities, status and strength, this had no effect on their feelings."

"I am the fruit of their love and the witness of their feelings."

"But the year I was born, my father... encountered an assassination."

"The assassin's identity was mysterious and powerful, and all the defense measures in the castle failed to take effect."

"At that time, my mother just received an invitation from the Glowing God Cult to attend a ceremony and left the castle."

"When she came back after receiving the news, she saw only a body lying in a pool of blood."

Pete and Gale looked at each other.

There was a little shock in their eyes.

The Countess's husband, Mr. Skov, has never had a sense of existence. He rarely leaves the castle. He often only appears briefly at various social gatherings and even speaks very little.

Everyone just thinks he is shy and introverted and not good at socializing with others.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Skov has actually been dead for more than ten years, and what has appeared in front of the public in these years is nothing more than a false illusion created by divine magic.

"So... the Countess at that time believed in the Goddess of Illusion and used her divine magic to create a false husband?"

Gail asked in surprise.

The Church of Illusion, which originated in the Ceylon region, was criticized as a heresy and has been expelled for more than ten years.

As a result, in these ten years, a "heretic" with the strength of a 5th-level archmage has been operating in front of everyone in such a dignified manner, and even blatantly deceived outsiders with illusions?

After thinking about it, Gail realized something.

"Oh, that's right."

The local kingdom officials are responsible for expelling heretics from the kingdom, and in the Ceylon region, the most powerful person is the Countess.

She won't expel herself when she has nothing to do, right?

Nicole Ceylan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that simple."

"The relationship between my mother and the goddess of illusion... I only discovered it in recent years."

"Because when my father died, I was just born not long ago, and I can't remember what happened at that time."

"There are two mysterious black-robed people. They will enter the castle through the secret passage from time to time to meet my mother and me."

"There is no goddess of illusion in this world, nor is there any illusion magic."

"The two black-robed people told my mother a secret."

"It's about the secret of ascending to the gods."

The eyes of the mages of the magic hermitage widened unconsciously.

One of the greatest pursuits of the mages of the magic hermitage is to ascend to the throne of God with a mortal body, open up their own kingdom of God, and have exclusive divine power.

Such an idea can basically remain in imagination. For so many years, no mortal has ever done this.

There are extremely powerful professionals who have not only reached the peak of level 6, but even exceeded level 6 and stepped into a more mysterious unknown realm, but they are still mortals.

There is an essential difference between gods and mortals, and no one has ever been able to cross the boundary.

But Nicole Ceylan's next words broke Pete's long-standing cognition:

"The two black-robed men told my mother."

"With the help of the artifacts left over from the past, although mortals cannot break through the differences between gods and gods, they can... awaken the great existence of the past."

"My mother did what they provided."

"Strict and complex steps, precise and special rituals."

"A great existence named Resti Macy has been awakened since then, and the authority He holds is an illusion that blurs the boundary between reality and illusion."

Pet felt his heart skip a beat.

The existence of the past awakened from a long sleep.

Why does he feel that this plot seems a little familiar!

Nicole continued to narrate:

"Mother tried to create an illusion of father. She succeeded, but also failed."

"Father did appear in front of her and me, who was still a baby at the time, again, but he had no independent consciousness. He was like a puppet and could only be controlled by mother."

"Mother was not satisfied with stopping there."

"What she wanted was Sep Skov, who had loved her deeply and had his own personality and consciousness."

"So, she began to try again and again to create the husband in her memory."

"..."

After listening to Nicole's description, Pete pondered for a moment and said puzzledly:

"But why did her attempt lead to the current state of Ceylon Territory?"

As he spoke, Pete pointed his finger upward and pointed outside the dungeon.

Pete had also used illusion magic, but he had never experienced such a terrible situation with the world changing, the eternal night, and monsters everywhere.

The young girl Nicole looked grim:

"That's what I'm going to tell you right now."

"The two men in black robes gave my mother the artifact to awaken the goddess of illusion, but... there must be something wrong with that artifact!"

"My mother, who holds the artifact, casts very abnormal illusion spells."

"The illusions she creates to change people's cognition can even affect reality."

"Mr. Winnex, the old butler in the castle, actually died three years ago."

"Since then, my mother has used illusions to create a loyal and powerful Winnex."

"He has no feelings, he only obeys his mother's orders unconditionally, manages the castle, and eliminates intruders."

The believers of Seeking Knowledge deeply agree with this.

They just finished fighting Winnex not long ago.

The "silent" illusion version of Winnex is indeed ruthless and taciturn. You can't let your guard down for a moment during the battle, otherwise you may be caught and killed instantly by a slit throat.

No wonder this guy didn't say a word until he died. Even when he was seriously injured, he could still release the group [Sleeve Arrow Storm] alive and well, and the more serious the injury, the more fierce the attack.

It turns out that he didn't want to talk, but he didn't have the heart at all!

"Using the artifact to cast such a powerful illusion will have an irreversible impact on the Goddess of Illusion."

"This is what the black-robed man told my mother in advance."

"Every time she uses the power of the artifact, the Goddess of Illusion will be polluted by the void."

"When the pollution accumulates to a certain extent, He who is awakened from his long sleep will degenerate into a thoroughly evil god."

"My mother's constant attempts mean that the goddess is being affected more and more."

"If I can't stop my mother in time, the Goddess of Illusion may face the worst situation."

"Now is the last chance to save everything!"

"Heroes, please!"
