Chapter 440: Just follow your own thoughts
Of course, the Eight Desire Kings was just a derogatory name given to them by people in later generations. No one knew what the eight time travelers were called at that time.
Like the Bone King, the Eight Desire Kings also traveled with their guild stronghold, the "Sky City", which contains countless treasures, including an unknown number of artifact-level and even world-class props.
At the beginning of the time travel, the Eight Desire Kings took the lead in destroying Sharnas, the only remaining "God of Death" among the six gods, and then began a war for hegemony to conquer the other world.
They fought against almost all powerful forces and exterminated them one by one. Among them, the dragon clan, the strongest race in the native world, was almost wiped out.
At the beginning, the dragons were the backbone of the resistance because they could activate the native magic system of the other world, that is, the world-class magic "original magic".
The original magic system has nothing to do with the rank magic system of "YGGDRASIL", so the rules and judgments of "YGGDRASIL" can be completely ignored.
In the original book, the Black Scale Dragon King once said that the original magic was activated through the soul, so only a strong man like the True Dragon King could truly control the original magic.
Although top-level primordial magic has power far superior to super-level magic, the corresponding payment conditions are also very harsh.
In order to use the magic system of YGGDRASIL without scruples and weaken the indigenous rebels, the Eight Desire Kings activated a mysterious item that was suspected to be one of the twenty most powerful world-class items, tampered with the magic rules of the other world, and forcibly loaded the magic system of "YGGDRASIL" into the other world.
From then on, the original magic quickly declined due to the pollution and distortion of the Eight Desire Kings, and was gradually replaced by the high-level magic from "YGGDRASIL".
Because the original magic and the level magic have switched their roles, the Eight Desire Kings no longer have any worries, and their ambition to conquer the world quickly spreads throughout the other world.
Although humans suffered considerable losses during the Eight Desire Kings' conquest of the world, and even lost the last of the Six Great Gods.
However, the Eight Desire Kings also destroyed many powerful races that suppressed humans, including the Dragon Clan led by the Dragon Kings. Eventually, the Dragon King clan was completely suppressed, and the dragon clan's world hegemony since ancient times was destroyed.
Along with the large-scale sweep of the alien world, the indigenous strongmen were almost wiped out, and the Eight Desire Kings unified the entire world without any suspense.
But success is due to desire, and failure is also due to desire.
After unifying the world, they began to covet each other's property, and it turned into a chaotic war among the Eight Desire Kings. After a brief period of unification, the other world quickly became divided again.
During this period, rank magic gradually spread to every corner of the other world. After all, unlike the era of the six gods, the other world at this time had been transformed by the eight desire kings into a state more suitable for the use of rank magic.
Ultimately, there was no winner in this internal struggle, and the Eight Desire Kings disappeared, but the stronghold that they had traveled through together with continues to operate to this day, and the various mysterious props in it have become legends that future generations admire.
In the following centuries, many time travelers came through again, but compared with the six gods and the eight desire kings, these time travelers did not have such a great impact.
The most famous ones are the time travelers known as the "Thirteen Heroes". They defeated the devil with amazing courage and at a huge cost and saved the world again.
Therefore, the fact that Ainz Ooal Gown was able to use the skills from the "YGGDRASIL" world to unilaterally defeat the other world was also thanks to the predecessors who traveled through time.
After all, the top combat forces in the other world were slaughtered by the Eight Desire Kings, and even the magic system was changed to the "YGGDRASIL" magic system.
However, if we only consider their character, the six great gods are truly the best among gods, while the eight desire kings are truly the worst among scum.
[Dark Soul 1]: After you said that, I suddenly realized that the original magic in the other world is very similar to the soul magic in the Dark Soul world. Both are activated through the soul.
[Undead King]: That’s right. I’ll find some time to look for the only remaining Dragon King and see if I can find the original magic scroll there.
[Dark Soul 1]: Not only that, if possible, you can also learn degree-level magic. I remember there are a lot of pretty good magic in the first level.
Seeing this, Xia Yu recalled that there were indeed many convenient magics in the original first-level magic of the natives of the other world.
Such as odorless, cleaning, paper creation, spice creation, metal creation, livestock milk optimization, dark hot pot creation and so on.
Although some of the names are weird, such as the Dark Hot Pot Creation, what the hell is that? Dark Hot Pot... You can't use fruits like strawberries and oranges to make hot pot, right?
However, this type of life creation magic is indeed useful, and as the rank increases, the quality of creation will also improve.
For example, the second-level paper creation can produce very soft high-grade paper called noble paper, and can also change the color of the created paper and so on.
But if we only talk about the power of magic rank, it's just that.
Judging from the performance in the original work, even the super-level magic "Sky Fall" that Bone King used at the beginning was only powerful enough to destroy a small forest.
It is simply impossible to destroy a country with just a wave of the hand, and destroying a city is a stretch.
Of course, if we don't talk about power, these levels of magic still have many advantages. The types are very diverse, covering almost all imaginable magic, even the magic of making wishes.
[Undead King]: Since you want to learn degree-level magic, then shouldn't you go find Lao Gu? I remember that Lao Gu was the only player in his Great Tomb Guild who had mastered all the magic skills.
[Undead King]: So I should make friends with him and then learn magic from him?
【Dark Soul 1】: Well...
[Dark Soul 1]: Of course it depends on you. You can go directly to Lao Gu to expose your identity as a time traveler and then make friends with him to learn magic. Or you can just beat Lao Gu to pieces and force him to teach you magic.
[Dark Soul 1]: The chat group can provide all the support. After all, this is the meaning of joining the group, isn’t it?
[Dark Soul 1]: Besides, we are all our own people. If you ask us, isn't it the same as asking yourself? Since you are asking yourself, there is no need to ask questions. Our advice to you is to follow your own thoughts.
Seeing this, Xia Yu's originally confused thoughts gradually calmed down.
Yes, we are all family, so his thoughts are naturally what others can think of, and his decision, in other words, is also the decision of others.
So, he just needs to follow his own ideas.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu took the wine glass with tooth marks away from his mouth, then threw down a silver coin and walked out of the tavern with the wine glass.
Seeing that Xia Yu dropped a silver coin, the bartender raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not stop Xia Yu from taking the wine glass. After all, a silver coin is worth much more than a wine glass.
After walking out of the pub, Xia Yu skillfully walked into an empty alley, then found the novice gift pack in the group, and then clicked to receive it.
In an instant, Xia Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and then expanded.
"Phew, this is the beginner's gift pack. It's really... amazing."
Feeling the several powers emerging in his body, Xia Yu raised the corner of his mouth, and the wine glass in his hand was suddenly turned into ashes by the flames, and the ashes leaked out from between his fingers.
Then Xia Yu looked up at the sky, and his figure suddenly disappeared. He used the breath-concealing technique to eliminate his figure and aura.
The next second, he suddenly soared into the sky.
Feeling the cold wind blowing on his face, Xia Yu lowered his head and looked downward. The E-Rantel beneath him became smaller in his sight as the distance increased.
Those humans in the city now look as small as ants.
“Is this what it feels like to fly?”
While controlling the flying speed, Xia Yu felt the sensation of flying, and a sense of pleasure emerged in his heart.
If he wasn't afraid of being heard, he would have shouted out loud to vent his anger.
This is flying. After being in this other world for so long, he finally felt a hint of fantasy.
To be honest, he has hardly learned any magic after traveling to another world for so long. Firstly, he couldn't find the channel, and secondly, compared with magic, he found that physical exercise was more cost-effective.
Therefore, he became a warrior.
Warriors, on the other hand, cannot fly, although there are also very few magicians in this world who can fly.
After floating in the sky for a while, Xia Yu suddenly looked towards the distance of Ye-Rantel. He remembered that there was a large forest over there, so he might as well go there to try out his new power.
Accompanied by a slight sonic boom, Xia Yu disappeared from the spot.
…
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the tavern.
Because of caution, Bone King gave up using game coins and now can only huddle in a shabby and dilapidated hotel .
Of course, since he is an undead, he does not need to rest. He opened the hotel just to hide his identity, although his gorgeous black armor is already very conspicuous.
"May I ask what should be done with that annoying woman?"
At this moment, Narberal, as part of the entourage, was respectfully asking the Supreme Being, Ainz Ooal Gown.
Narberal Gamma is a member of the Pleiades in the Great Tomb of Nazarick, also known as the "Battle Maids".
As a member of the double phantom race, her Justice value is -400 and her attributes are evil. Ainz chose her as an adventurer's partner because he thought her appearance would be easier to integrate into the human group.
Ainz was somewhat helpless about Narberal's picky personality, but in order not to lose face as the Supreme Being, he could only look down on her with pride.
"She is a higher-ranked adventurer than me. As a junior, I should give her some respect."
Narberal did not speak again after hearing this. Ainz stroked his skull chin and said again, "Compared to the red-haired woman, I am more interested in the black-haired young man sitting at the counter."
After all, he looks like an Asian. In this place where European faces are prevalent, you can tell at a glance that he is a foreigner.
It just so happened that Narberal also looked like a black-haired Asian, so he couldn't help but take a look at her before he left.
"By the way, I want to ask, what do you think humans are like?"
In response to Ainz's question, Narberal answered without hesitation, "It's all garbage."
“…”
Hearing this answer, the former human Suzuki Satoru couldn't help but open his skull mouth and wail in his heart.
This guy is the same!
In the Great Tomb of Nazarick, except for a limited number of NPCs, almost everyone hates humans. This makes Ainz feel complicated, after all, he was also a human before.
"Nabe, I..."
Just when Ainz was about to warn Narberal, he was suddenly stunned.
Seeing this, Narberal frowned and quickly took out her weapon and became alert.
After a few seconds, Ainz said, "Nothing's wrong. No need to be alert."
“Lord Ainz, what just now?”
"Wait a minute."
As he spoke, Ainz waved his hand and set up more than ten shielding spells.
Just now, he felt a powerful breath for a moment, but soon, the breath subsided and then disappeared.
If the aura had not been so strong, he would have almost thought that he had sensed it wrongly.
Is it the powerful people in this world who are warning me?
Ainz's eyes flickered red, and ideas kept popping up in his mind, but there were too few clues, and the aura was fleeting, so he had no idea what was going on.
"Nabe, contact Demiurge. I have something to tell him..."
