Passing through the thick rock wall, the goal of entering Ryan is a mess. Countless kobolds have been burned dry and evaporated, their remains and their various collections are displayed in this secret room.

The space of the secret room is not very big, about 50 square meters. The crappy artistic concepts of the kobolds decorate the secret room like a garbage dump, with all kinds of brightly patterned cloth strips and paper strips piled up randomly, as well as all kinds of seized and stolen goods. come weapons.

And in the center of the secret room, an ancient holy altar is in sight, and the emperor standing beside the ancient holy altar with a golden glow all over his body. As always, the face of the lord of mankind is very cold, but the breath on his body is already gone. Billion was already countless times stronger when he first saw him, which proved that his soul had been revived and healed.

Grabbing a piece of dog's head gold casually, 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 all over the continent." Only in every place in the world can we find the Altar of the Ancient Sage...but things went smoothly beyond imagination."

"Luck is also a kind of strength. It is far beyond my plan that you can find another ancient holy altar so quickly." The emperor replied lightly.

"So... father, you have been beeping like a tweeter here, which has caused so many miners to go crazy?" Ryan asked curiously. Put it away.

"No, it was a stupid guy who tried to open this altar." The emperor's voice was as cold as winter: "Although his strength is not bad, he still died here. You have seen his bones outside .”

"I didn't expect that the former head of the White Wolf Knights, who was famous all over the world, would die in this way. It's really a trick." Ryan came to his father: "And what about you, father? How did you find this place? ?”

"When you entered here, I had already discovered the altar of the Old Sage, and after that, I will wait for you to arrive here." Wisps of brilliance on the emperor's golden plate armor tilted in the narrow space, supreme His mighty power is filling this small secret room: "You have now attracted the attention of the evil god, so be careful with every step you take."

Ryan nodded. He reached out and used his psychic power to awaken the altar of the Old Sage. 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 places,

Ryan, you are you, they are them, you are not like them, you are my son, they are my masterpiece. ’ replied the Emperor, who wore no helmet but a golden laurel wreath on his brow, revealing his noble countenance: a picture of all the wonders and lights of the world, enough for anyone to see The face of eternal devotion is offered in an instant.

It is no longer shrouded in golden light and blurred as before, and it is no longer the same as before, looming and trying to maintain, Ryan knows that his father has completely absorbed the energy of the Old Sage, his soul has been healed, the Lord of Humanity Already on the verge of returning, he only needs a physical body, a physical body that is 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, and he didn't stop.

"Yes, when I was young, before I knew my true nature, I had a woman I liked just like you." Unexpectedly, the emperor answered Ryan's question calmly, without any emotion in his tone , which sounds like a lie.

"Okay." Ryan made fun of himself, but seeing that his father didn't look angry, Ryan was silent for a long time before he said, "Father, can I ask you a serious question? Seriously."

"Why? Why do you still love us?"

"After experiencing so much sorrow and so much pain, you watched with your own eyes the empire you created disintegrated, and you watched civilization and enlightenment gradually replaced by ignorance and superstition. Human beings not only faced countless powerful enemies, but also The interior is also full of rebellion and corruption, those politicians are playing power in your name, one sector after another is falling into darkness, and technology is constantly regressing every day."

"The rebellion of Horus made mankind irreversible. For the survival of mankind, you have fought against the demons in the subspace for more than 11,000 years. 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 come back, endless wars and sacrifices are just in exchange for living again and again."

"But you still love us, you still try your best to help us, you still try to get back together and lead this decadent and declining race, why?"

The emperor's eyes finally fluctuated. He stretched out his hand and stroked Ryan's head, with emotion in his tone for the first time.

It was a comforting 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, human beings were still drinking blood. However, although the subspace is not as chaotic and dirty as it is today, it is already in danger." The Emperor calmly told a piece of history.

"At that time, it was some subspace spellcasters who led mankind forward in the dark. They were called shamans. A small number of humans had the ability to use subspace to cast spells. They worked hard to lead human beings for the benefit of mankind. go ahead."

"But this time is not long. When human beings 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 human beings gradually grew, these shamans still attracted the attention of Chaos after all. Chaos demons, because the essence of shaman casting spells is to use the energy of the subspace, as long as they cast spells, demons will appear in the cracks of the subspace to tear them apart."

"As the shamans died on a large scale, the remaining shamans knew that their time was numbered, so they made an amazing decision. For the future of mankind, they committed suicide en masse. The souls, powers, knowledge, and love and resentment of all shamans combined into one great soul."

"That is me, I am the lord of mankind, and my love for mankind needs no reason."

"Father... I am so grateful for the endless sacrifices and struggles you have made for us." Ryan knew how much his father had sacrificed and how much he had sacrificed. And suspicion is too much.

It is precisely because of his father's selflessness to human beings that he is stingy to Ryan.

He finally understood. At this moment, the son understood the difficulties and hardships of his father.

The Primarch burst into tears.

"Thank you, but I've 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 like I'm growing very slowly." Ryan changed the subject.

"This is the right way to grow up." Who knew that the emperor didn't agree with this, he shook his head slightly: "My son, do your own thing well, that's enough, your brothers still need you to save them."

Ryan nodded, he didn't worry about it anymore.

As the altar of the Old Sage was opened by Ryan, the emperor began to absorb the energy left by the Old Sage, and Ryan ransacked the so-called Kobold Holy Land like a bandit. He took away all valuable things. Originally, the secret room should be It was very dim, but the golden glow on his father was so bright that he could only sit sideways: "Father, does the Old Sage still exist?"

"From the concept of race, the Old Sages no longer exist. They completely perished in the battle of heaven, but from the perspective of individuals, there are still a small number of Old Sages alive." The Emperor absorbed the pure The energy of the Old Sage, understands the unique knowledge of the Old Sage, and at the same time can answer Ryan's question with one mind: "Creatures like the Old Sage are immortal, they have surpassed the shackles of the physical body, as long as they are willing to hide, there will still be very few The Old Sage survived...the planet you were originally on also had an Old Sage, walking in the world pretending to be a human being."

Ryan thought about it for a while and knew who the Old Sage was. Thinking of what he did when he was young, he couldn't help sweating, and then he continued to ask: "Who are the rumored magic toads on this planet? Old Sage?"

"No, they are just servants created in the image of the Old Sage. As I said, the Old Sage has surpassed the physical body. They are pure energy bodies."

"Then what about the gods of this world? Are they also energy bodies?"

"This world is shrouded in an eternal giant subspace storm, which makes this world isolated from the outside world. The existence of gods absorbs the positive emotions in the subspace and eventually becomes gods... They are essentially the same as 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 passed gradually in the communication between the father and the son.

Three hours later, another ancient holy altar was reduced to ruins.

"Interesting, this altar records some of the Old Sage's technology on how to isolate the influence of subspace for technological research and development. I think those mechanical monks on Mars will like it, um... and about how to make 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?"

"Enough is enough." The emperor had a golden flame burning on his body, his eyes were shining, he looked at his son who was sitting beside him, and whispered with majesty like a god: "I am about to recover."

"Lian, my son, continue to stay in this world. Your existence is top secret. Preventing the end is still your first task." The emperor turned around, and he stretched out his arms towards Ryan. hand.

The emperor gathered unimaginably vast spiritual energy, and violent light burst out from the body of the Lord of Humanity from the inside out. Ryan had to stretch out his hands and cover his eyes to resist the strong light. The power of life and death was being suppressed by the Supreme Lord. In the palm of your hand - that is the power to overwhelm and devour all things, enough to completely wipe out any form of life from all levels.

The Emperor, great lord of mankind, has a small gift for his beloved son.

A pure white ball of light appeared from his father's hand, and it shot straight into Ryan's forehead. The vast knowledge and the supreme use of spiritual power were branded in Ryan's mind. This is a gift from the emperor, and it is his love for child's preference.

Ryan knew how precious this was. This knowledge was something that many Primarchs begged for, but now it was so easily given to him. He didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper: "Father, I..."

"The Custodians who came to support you are already on their way." The Emperor said in a deep voice: "Because the Webway Gate cannot send large troops, and because your identity must be kept absolutely secret, I only sent four Custodians. It will be here soon."

"I am the sharp sword in your hand, father, drive me as much as you want!" Ryan stood up. Although his height was much different from that of the emperor, the determination shown by his son was not lost to his father.

The fist of the Gray Knight Primarch and the fist of the Lord of Humanity collided together: "Let us face it together."

…………

By the time Ryan came out of the mine, it was already the next morning.

Seeing him come out, Alfred breathed a sigh of relief: "Ryan, you finally came out. I was discussing with Estelle. If you don't come out by noon, we will go down to find you!"

Ryan shook his head and didn't speak, only then did everyone notice that he was carrying a skeleton.

"This is..." Estelle stood up, and the sharp-eyed half-elf knew what Ryan was carrying.

"You all go out, I want to offer my last tribute to His Excellency Logan Frings, the White Wolf Paladin." Ryan put down the skeleton and signaled everyone to go out.

Although he has become the God's Choice of the Fairy in the Lake, Ryan is still a White Wolf Knight legally, and his actions are in line with his status. Alfred and Estelle sighed and left the room one after another.

Ryan stayed alone in the room. He first took out the white wolf holy oil, smeared the bones, and then took out the wolf fur and wolf teeth, offering the final hymn to the ill-fated white wolf paladin.

Through the secret method left by his father, he awakened a piece of soul fragment in the skeleton of Logan Frings, and the memory of the White Wolf Paladin was displayed in front of Ryan.

From birth, Logan Frings was baptized at the age of seven, became a Ranger Knight 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. The head of the White Wolf Knights traveled half of the continent alone, reaching as far as the wasteland in the south and the dark land in the east.

In the end, 50 years ago, Logan Frings came to Marienburg. By coincidence, he came to the deep mining area and found this ancient holy altar, but he tried to use brute force to forcibly open this ancient holy altar , As a result, he was counterattacked by the defense mechanism set by the Old Sage, and was besieged by the kobold tribe while being seriously injured, and finally died in battle.

wait! After reading Logan's memory, Ryan suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

What is wrong?

Ryan thought for a while, and he suddenly remembered that something was wrong.

it's time! The time is wrong!

It was sixteen or seventeen years ago that the mysterious white wolf knight he saw on the high mountain fortress of Nordskavill appeared to rescue the fortress defenders!

But Logan Frings died fifty years ago!

That mysterious White Wolf Knight is not Logan Frings at all!
