Wizard: Surviving in the Steam Age with Points for Demon Hunter

Chapter 455: Ancient God Celerent
The contract of Carmendia...

Wayne looked at the two men, especially Waklav, and knew in his heart that he hoped he could help Celerent solve the secrets of the "Killing" country.

Otherwise, Chief Wizard Vaklav would not have repeatedly emphasized the need for him to come to the Northern Continent.

but……

"Can you tell me more about the deeds of this ancient god, Gamentia?"

After thinking for a while, Wei En still did not agree immediately, and asked: "And the secrets involved in the 'Contract of Gamendia'."

Vaklav and Celent looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Jiamendia, it's been a long time since I last heard of Him."

"According to the records of the chief wizards of all generations, Gamendia was active in the late Primordial Era and early Chaotic Era. Before his death, he controlled the three kingdoms of 'Slaughter', 'War', and 'Nightmare', and his power was terrifying."

"He is particularly good at using the power of the Nightmare Kingdom as the core to create a nightmare world, and he can create a world full of the power of war and killing within it."

"The 'Nightmare World' you visited before is actually an illusory world evolved from the power of the 'Nightmare' kingdom."

"It's just that after the 'Nightmare Lord' fell into a deep sleep, the 'Nightmare World' lost its actual controller, so it was transformed into its current form by the fanatical followers of the Nightmare Cult."

Having said this, Chief Wizard Vaklav paused for a few seconds, glanced at Serent's expression, and then continued:

"Before I asked you to come to the Northern Continent, Celent and I had already explored the Nightmare World, from the initial entrance of the extraordinary, through the Captain's District, the Minister's District, the Director's District... to the final legendary core, but we did not find any secrets about the ancient god 'Jamendia'."

Have you checked out Nightmare World?
Wayne raised his eyebrows, and became more convinced that there was some kind of deal between Chief Waklav and Celent.

Otherwise, with the strength of Chief Wizard Vaklav, it would be impossible for him to help him so wholeheartedly.

Is it because of the prophecy of "destruction of the world"?

Wei En is unknown.

In fact, after he resolved the sacrificial ritual of the Twilight Cult, he later sought out the Celerent replica, McAllister Loft, to learn in detail about the content of the "world-destroying" prophecy.

It is said that it was a prophecy left behind when the Primordial was in deep sleep.

Because the world was just born at that time, only the oldest group of gods knew the specific content of the prophecy.

——When I open my eyes again, the whole world will be destroyed. Before that, this world will fall into a long darkness, and only the "sharpest sword" can break the darkness!

The content of the prophecy is divided into two sections.

One paragraph is "The Primordial Awakens, and the World is Destroyed".

According to Celent, the vast majority of ancient gods believe that this is a prophecy based on facts.

In other words, the original ruler who is in deep sleep will destroy the world when he wakes up.

The content of the second paragraph refers to the fact that before it wakes up, the whole world will go through a dark period.

When Wei En received the content of this prophecy, the first thought that came to his mind was that the "Deep Sea Doomsday" caused by the Twilight Sect and the Chaos Sect should not be the so-called Dark Ages.

After all, it has been resolved.

Moreover, the impact of "Deep Sea Doomsday" is not limited to the entire world, but only to many sea areas and coastal city-states on four continents.

Well, that's true except for the very unlucky Southern Continent.

"anything else?"

"And..." Waklav glanced at Celent, who understood and took over the conversation.

"When Jiamendia was active, I had just been promoted to a primary god, and I learned a lot about him from those ancient gods later."

"Initially, He ascended the throne in the Kingdom of Nightmare and gained the title of Lord of Nightmare."

"For a long time after that, He was in the vortex of the original world. To use a very appropriate phrase - the throne is only between killings."

“That’s what Gamentia did.”

Celent fell into recollection, and spoke calmly about the deeds of the ancient god.

“What impressed me most was the scene when He gained the second kingdom.”

"At that time, He had already slaughtered three nations and caused the fall of three primary gods."

“Originally, He could have used those three kingdoms to directly obtain the Ancient God’s Crown, but He did not do so.”

"Instead, they used the origin of 'killing' as their basis and forcibly smelted the three kingdoms, forcing them to be directly promoted to the 'killing' kingdom."

"This is also the reason why I chose to use the Realm of Truth to balance the Realm of Killing - the power of the source of killing within it is too strong!"

"It is so powerful that it is impossible for a primary god to integrate and devour it, or inherit its power."

Celerent glanced at Wayne, obviously still feeling ashamed for not being able to keep the "real" country three years ago.

"I think you can guess what happened after that. He launched a war that almost swept all the gods. In that war, he used his personal strength and wisdom to complete the smelting of the 'War' kingdom and ascended to the level of the Ancient God."

"In fact, many gods didn't think highly of him at the time. It is said that even he himself didn't expect things to go so smoothly."

When Celent thought of that chaotic period, besides reminiscence, there was more sadness and complexity in his eyes.

"Although I also gained a second kingdom during that period and grew up, compared to Gamendia, among my three kingdoms, only the 'Sun' kingdom is powerful enough to compete with him."

"No matter the amount of authority, original power, or the size of the 'Clothes of the World' occupied by the other two kingdoms, they are completely incomparable to Him..."

As Celente continued to tell his story, Wayne got to know more about Jamendia.

Gradually, a tall, domineering and bloodthirsty figure formed in his heart. The tall and mighty figure was because the ancient god's body could be formed by the superposition of kingdoms.

The tyranny stems from the war that swept all the gods. Bloodthirstiness is equivalent to killing, which is still related to Gamentia's style of doing things.

How could such a person suddenly fall?

"Then how did He fall?"

"'Source Soul'."

Celent shook his head slightly and sighed, "It happened that the 'Source Soul' invaded the original world at that time. Jiamendia's reputation was well-known, so those terrifying and disgusting things targeted him."

"Fortunately, there were still several gods around him at that time. Although they died in the end, the three kingdoms under his control did not fall into the hands of the 'Source Soul'."

"It also introduces the achievements of two gods. One of them is the 'Lord of War', who later founded the Church of War."

"That's all I know about Gamentia's deeds. The rest are just bits and pieces."

"For example, 'Jamendia's Dream' is a gadget developed after 'He' gained the 'Killing' Kingdom. It is mainly used to collect the origin or faith power for the two kingdoms of 'Killing' and 'Nightmare'."

"And the 'Contract of Gamentia' was also researched by him on his own because he could not stand the unfair practices of the God of Contract."

"The rest are..."

After listening to Celent's story, Wayne nodded.

"So, it is possible that 'He' could hide by relying on his own powerful strength. But there is still one thing I don't understand."

"Wizard Wayne, please speak." Celent and Waklav looked at each other and asked. "Since you have already noticed that there are secrets left by the ancient god Jiamendia in the Kingdom of Slaughter, wouldn't it be more direct to start from there? Or, have you not yet completely controlled that kingdom?"

"It shouldn't be difficult for you to find traces of Gamendia directly from within the 'Killing' Kingdom, right?"

Celent paused, hesitated for a few seconds, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "It is indeed as Wei En said, it is most appropriate to dig out the trace from inside the 'Killing' country, but it is very difficult!"

"That secret location is the cornerstone of the entire 'Killing' Kingdom. If I destroy it, it is very likely... it may cause the entire 'Killing' Kingdom to collapse!"

It turned out to be the case.

Wei En chuckled, now he completely understood.

It turns out that Celent is not without a solution, but he is worried that if he directly invades the secret traces left by Gamentia inside the "Killing" country, he will fall from the throne and no longer have the status of a god.

Thinking of this, Wei En thought for a moment and said, "Well, now tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"What kind of traces of Gamendia should we find to help you solve the troubles of the 'Killing' Kingdom?"

"You, you agreed?" Celent was delighted.

"Ah."

Wayne nodded, looked at Vaklav and said with a smile: "Since the chief wizard of the Ghost School has agreed, I, as a wizard of the Ghost School, will naturally not refuse."

"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, Wizard Wayne, and thank you Chief Vaklav for your help."

Waklav pushed up his sunglasses, his eyes moved slightly under the sunglasses, he gave Wei En a look, and then said nothing more.

"No need to be polite, Mr. Celent. Just tell me what you need me to do." Wayne nodded slightly in understanding.

"it is good……"

Soon, from Chief Waklav's more detailed description, Wayne learned more detailed information about the "Contract of Gamentia".

Including how he entered the killing field, the role he played there, and some locations where he thought "Jamendia" might exist.

"In other words, the contract retains a trace of Carmendia's original power, or a memory."

"I need to use the 'Contract' as a medium to find His origin after going through His test and bring it back?"

After listening, Wei En sorted out his thoughts and asked.

"That's right, Wizard Wayne." Celent nodded repeatedly, and there was no trace of the previous hostility on that smiling face.

Waklav echoed, "Wayne, just go for it. Even if you can't find the origin of Jiamendia in the end, it doesn't matter."

An unnatural look flashed across Celent's face, but he still nodded in agreement.

"I'll leave everything to Wizard Wayne."

Wei En did not comment.

……

After learning about Celent's request, Wayne and Chief Waklav sat alone in the room.

Even McAllister Loft, a replica of Celerent, was driven out.

"Your advancement speed is faster than I expected."

Waklav shook the red wine glass in his hand, his tone was a little lazy, and his loose and upright sitting posture made him look more like a noble gentleman than a wizard.

Wei En took a sip of red wine and said calmly, "What is the basis for your prediction?"

It is undeniable that Chief Vaklav is the most powerful wizard he has ever encountered, even more powerful than those ancient gods.

"A lot." Vaklav's eyes twitched slightly under his sunglasses, and he smiled and said, "For example, the battles you experienced a few times before will all be improved to a certain extent after that."

"I think the 'World Clothes' thinks highly of you."

In fact, Waklav knew in his heart that it was not only the blessing and favor of the "Clothes of the World", but also that person.

There is someone who has been watching Wayne, and his future achievements will definitely surpass those of all wizards.

Even being the chief wizard is not Wayne's limit.

Waklav knew this very well.

Although he didn't understand the man's intention of doing this, well, Velosa and Ragnar didn't understand it either, but out of respect for that person, the three chief wizards were more optimistic about the little guy Wayne.

At the same time, I also hope that Wei En can grow up as soon as possible.

After all, the dark period mentioned in the "world destruction" prophecy is not far away.

"What about you?" Wei En looked at him calmly.

He was well aware that his current strength had already been improved to a terrifying level after the battle three years ago.

Even he himself was frightened.

Be it his body, mind, soul or even his original power, there seems to be no limit and they can be continuously improved.

The price he paid was the deep-sea mutants, "Source Souls" and the Black Goat Tribe that were slaughtered and destroyed by him.

That’s right, in the past three years, Wei En had gone deep into the southern continent.

On the one hand, it is to find those hidden "source souls" and alchemical magic patterns, and on the other hand, it is to understand the so-called black goat tribe.

It's not an understanding in the literal sense, but rather the capture of thousands of Black Goat tribe members, and their dissection from the outside to the inside.

He discovered that the body structure of these aliens had many similarities with the creatures in the original world.

Unlike the strange original structure of the "Source Soul", the extraordinary people of the Black Goat Clan are more like a combination of wizards and extraordinary people.

In their original core world, there are traces of one to ten rune arrays.

To be precise, it should be the predecessor of runes - magic patterns.

The function of those patterns is like that of rune cards, allowing the black goat tribe to have the extraordinary ability to adapt to complex environments.

At the end of the research, Wayne had a vague understanding in his heart - the Black Goat Tribe was like a supernatural being designed by someone.

Although it has flesh and blood and an original core, it is essentially like a mechanical puppet, precise and delicate.

Simply unbelievable.

For a long time after that, Wayne, with the intention of uncovering the secret, kept trying to smelt it, trying to find a way to create these black goat tribes.

But he was not satisfied with the experimental results - creating ethnic life was too difficult.

"I?"

Vaklav chuckled and said something.

"After you complete the 'Contract of Gamendia', I will tell you the truth..."
