Chapter 617: Fusion of Peach Arc and Thorn Arrow! Demon-Slaying Day! An Arrow Strike at Truth!

Chapter 617: Fusion of Peach Arc and Thorn Arrow! Demon-Slaying Day! An Arrow Shot at Truth!
With a wave of her hand, Witch Ekaterina instantly transferred all the furnishings in Locke’s living room into the spirit world, leaving the entire living room temporarily empty.

At the same time, she stretched out her left hand towards the air, and suddenly a peach wood bow and arrow appeared in her left hand, and countless righteous forces gathered towards her palm.

At the same time, the witch Catherine’s great magic appeared, and the beast tide ecology separated a date tree branch, which fell on her peach wood bow. Then the witch Catherine suddenly aimed the bow and arrow at Locke’s eyebrows.

Locke was startled and his whole body stiffened. He subconsciously summoned the power of Mist to protect himself.

“teacher?”

Ekaterina loosened her fingers, and the next moment, an arrow made of a date tree branch fell towards Locke’s eyebrows.

The magic seemed to ignore Locke’s permanent defensive force field and hit him directly between the eyebrows at an incredible angle.

Locke panicked for a moment, and suddenly realized that the arrow was not made of magical energy, but pure spirituality.

In other words, there is no real magical energy.

At least this is the case for first-ring wizards. At the first-ring wizard stage, they are not able to contact the imaginary world.

On the contrary, this arrow forced Locke’s spirit to assimilate with the spirit on the arrow.

The witch Ekaterina said, “If you hadn’t reached your current level, I wouldn’t dare do this. But I judge that you are now worthy of being shot by me.”

“This is my inheritance. My teacher… a teacher in the Star Territory Sea passed it on to me. So far, I have only passed this inheritance on to four people.”

“You’re the fifth.”

“This knowledge cannot be described with words or magical texts, or rather, it is not efficient. I used the Spiritual Arrow to force you to enter the state of combining the power of [Peach Arc] and [Thorny Arrow] into one.”

Witch Ekaterina looked at Locke closing his eyes and becoming introverted, then she walked out of the living room and entered Locke’s study. Then, with a little curiosity, she glanced at the furnishings in Locke’s study, picked up a book on the table, and sat down to read.

As expected, it would only take half a night for Locke to obtain the inherited witchcraft of their lineage.

However, if it fails, a little external force is needed to awaken it from its spiritual introverted state.

So, she still needs to wait here.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, accidents are likely to happen.

At the same time, Locke felt that his spirit had entered a special state. His spirit was forced into a fixed fluctuation, and then he established a connection with an even more ancient existence.

First, he saw that in a dark and chaotic era, countless evil forces suppressed the potential of the entire civilization in this dark and decadent era of ignorance, which led to these evil forces being attracted and infiltrated into this society.

The scenes brought about by spiritual power are extremely real.

Locke quickly realized that this must be the Dark Ages that archaeologists had mentioned in fragmentary histories.

It is not known where the Dark Ages fell in the entire wizarding civilization era, and it is not known whether it was after or before the Imperial Age or the Star Age, but the entire wizarding civilization once had this era.

It is not known what caused this era, but the wizard civilization of that era showed serious ideological rigidity and lack of ambition. An authoritative idea made all wizards in the world adopt a belief attitude.

If a wizard believes that mainstream thinking is wrong, then he has gone astray.

Anyone who has opposing opinions will be suppressed.

Without reflection, the wizards’ aggressiveness was castrated, and perfect academic thoughts ruled that world.

It was a dark age when there was no need for competition and every wizard did his job.

It was a completely ignorant era, cold and lifeless. During that entire era, not a single relevant academic article appeared.

According to archaeologists, it seems that wizards at that time believed that ancient things were good things, so no wizard was qualified to write new research articles.

Moreover, the popularity of magic has reached a new low in the history of wizard civilization, and it is even suspected that it may be the early stage of wizard civilization. However, data from various archaeological fragments show that this is not the case.

In short, it is difficult to verify the details of the entire period because there are so few historical materials left at that time.

But why could Locke recognize it?

Because archaeologists have discovered the typical characteristics of this era through archaeological excavations – the entire wizarding civilization overly suppressed its own creativity in order to maintain a certain order, and overly pursued order and stability, resulting in the loss of the ability to resist many external forces.

In this era, a large amount of evil power from the endless void is summoned.

The disc creatures are invading the wizarding world at will.

There are other, more sinister forces.

In that era, the wizards whose thoughts were suppressed were not only not pure in mind, but their hearts were even more evil. If these evil thoughts appeared for a long time, they would attract the attention of certain beings in the void.

Those beings entered this wizarding world.

Therefore, the typical characteristics of the Dark Ages are the many monsters and demons.

It was from this spiritual change that Locke realized that the era in which this spirituality originated should be the dark age of the wizarding world.

Locke saw a city, and the entire city was filled with statues of various “great wizards of the past”, and all the words these great wizards had said in the past, any words of magical understanding left behind.

They have all become the most precious classics in this era.

The statues of these great wizards of the past are worshipped as gods in this city, and every wizard worships them.

Although it is not a god, it is no different from a god.

In this city full of “statues of gods”, Locke saw a statue of a scholar in the center of the city.

The statue looked down at all the wizards.

Countless wizards did not do research, but instead worshipped the statues here. Locke saw a wizard arguing with others here. He didn’t know what the cause was, but it seemed that the wizard had put forward a different opinion.

So, other wizards in the city tried to guide him onto the right path.

But the wizard used the ancient Peach Arc Thorn Arrow magic, working day and night to create a bow and an arrow.

That day, he drew his bow and arrow and aimed at the statue in front of everyone.

All the wizards whose faces could not be seen in the city were horrified.

“Stop! That’s a statue of the former Witch King, a statue of a high-ring wizard. Do you think you’re more powerful than those high-ring wizards?”

“Your theoretical foundation is too weak, so you have such extreme views! The Witch King is the embodiment of truth for us, you should learn from him. The Witch King is our teacher, how can you disrespect your teacher?”

“You have to be reasonable! Don’t be arrogant!”

At this moment, Locke found that he seemed to have turned into that wizard, being criticized by thousands of people and misunderstood by everyone.

Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy.

Locke sensed that there seemed to be a spirit allowing him to choose whether to shoot or not, and that his spirit was becoming more and more similar to Catherine’s spiritual arrow.

Locke frowned. If it was just one arrow, it would be fine.

What’s the big deal?

He picked up the mahogany bow and jujube arrows, and the wizards looked frightened.

But the next moment, Locke was stunned, because the appearance of the statue had changed, from a statue of a strange middle-aged man to a statue of the witch Catherine.

All the teachings that the witch Catherine had given him in the past appeared in his mind in an instant.

Moreover, the leader among the wizards who tried to stop them turned out to be the Mason Witch. She looked at Locke in surprise and said, “Locke, are you crazy? How dare you shoot an arrow at the statue of the throne wizard!”

“Do you still have any rationality left? Look at yourself, do you still look like a human being? You have lost your way, put down the magic in your hands quickly.”

Mason Witch said, “Have a right mind and right thoughts.”

“You can’t be influenced by the chaotic spirituality here. You need to respect the truth. If even a wizard like you can’t guarantee respect for the truth, then who will respect the truth?”

Witch Mason said, “The greatest enemy of truth is stupidity. Foolish people are arrogant, so we need to respect the Wizard King to maintain the world’s respect for truth.”

“Put down the arrow quickly,” said Witch Mason, “so that you can merge the two spirits.”

“You need to find the reverence for the truth.”

“You’re not shooting at this statue, you’re shooting at your own foolish heart!”

Locke hesitated and looked at Mason Witch.

Start thinking about whether what the other person says is right or wrong.

Which one to shoot?

At the same time, a second statue appeared behind Locke, which was himself arguing fiercely with others and putting forward his own opinions.

Mason Witch looked at Locke and said, “Locke, listen to me. This is your last chance. Don’t make the wrong choice. You must reflect on yourself with respect for the truth. Now you have to make the right choice.”

“Your choice will be confirmed by the sacred dragon [Cassiodrak], who originated in the Dark Ages. If you make the right choice, your arrows will receive the spiritual blessing of the sacred dragon [Cassiodrak]. This blessing will increase with every increase in your strength.”

Witch Mason said: “The Holy Dragon Cassiodrak is also the guardian of order, the guardian of truth, and the wizard who upholds truth.”

“If you make the wrong choice here, you will lose the blessing of the Holy Dragon. The Holy Dragon will always hate wizards who tarnish the truth.”

At this moment, a wizard suddenly came up behind Locke, looked at Locke and said, “Locke, shoot that arrow, shoot that arrow at the statue of the throne wizard.”

“What a throne wizard, he’s not even as good as a hair of yours. You are the greatest wizard, you possess the greatest insight in the world. You are about to shoot that arrow. Everyone else in the world is foolish, but you are the most clear-headed!”

Mason glared at him. “Shut up, you lunatic.”

The wizard sneered, “That’s much better than someone like you who just follows the crowd.”

The wizard looked at Locke and said, “This is a test from the human wizard Cassiodrak, a challenger of truth from the Dark Ages. You must shoot that arrow at the statue of the throne wizard, and only then will you receive the spiritual confirmation of Lord Cassiodrak.”

Locke frowned.

He discovered that fusing the power of Taohu Jishi, passing this test, and obtaining certification from the wizards of ancient history was more difficult than he had imagined.

Both options make sense.

And it seems that he can’t rely on luck, because Locke began to doubt that no matter what he did, it would be wrong.

Shooting either way is wrong.

So don’t shoot?

Locke began to think about whether he should make this choice.

The Mason witch argued with the wizard. “Stay moderate. That way you’ll always be right.”

The wizard then said angrily: “I am the only one who is right! You are all liars.”

Locke looked at the two of them, frowned, and under their gazes, he picked up the mahogany bow, drew the bow and arrow, and aimed at the statue of the witch Catherine.

Locke looked at the Mason Witch and said, “The greatest enemy of truth is not ignorance, but the arrogance of believing that one has mastered the truth.”

Mason Witch paled. “If you shoot this arrow, I’m not kidding, you’ll definitely fail.”

Locke looked at the Mason Witch and said, “Our ancestors are not enough to follow. People in the past may not be able to understand the things of today. My problem may not be solved by the theories of people in the past.”

“You want me to submit to authority, but I don’t think authority is truth.”

Under the wizard’s excited gaze, Locke shot an arrow at the statue of the witch Catherine.

Suddenly, the arrow shot out like a sun.

A sun sets in the distance.

Witch Mason shook her head slightly, as if she felt very sorry for something.

The wizard laughed heartily.

But the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly, because Locke deliberately shot the arrow, which passed over the statue standing in the city, destroyed the top of a mountain behind the statue, and flattened it.

The wizard’s face suddenly turned gloomy.

At the same time, both statues began to shake and cracks began to appear.

The wizard looked at Locke and asked, “What did you do?”

Locke said, “I just understood the wizard’s thoughts at the time. If I need his spiritual blessing and need to merge with his spirit, then I need to consider what he was thinking at the time.”

“I don’t think that wizard in history actually shot an arrow at the statue of his mentor out of anger. He destroyed the statue, but he did shoot an arrow in the direction of the statue, expressing his true respect for truth and his reasonable questioning of authority.”

Locke looked at the Mason Witch and the strange wizard. “Shooting down the statue of your mentor, leaving only your own, is no different from not shooting at all. It’s just the representative of authority, the mentor has become yourself.”

“Other people’s authority becomes your own authority.”

“Destroying one’s own statue and leaving behind the statue of one’s mentor would be equivalent to completely reducing oneself to his vassal. If my guess is correct, this wizard from the Dark Ages held a high position in his time. He was one of the authorities of this era… Therefore, he is qualified to decide whether to shoot or not.”

“The pursuit of sole correctness itself is a submission to authority, and it simply leads to a cycle of the past. Ultimately, it will lead to the advent of the Dark Ages!”

At this point both statues began to crumble.

The image of the Mason witch disappeared.

The strange wizard raised the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, a huge white dragon appeared at the place where Mason the Witch disappeared. It was a sacred dragon. It was so huge that a piece of dragon scale seemed to be a half plane.

The dragon had four claws, but its body was longer in the middle. It seemed to be a different species of real dragon, and looked very different from an ordinary dragon.

The wizard said, “Locke Augustine, you are right.”

The wizard and the dragon spoke simultaneously. “Cassiodrak is both a human and a divine dragon, and one of the leading scholars of the Dark Ages.”

“The equivalent of a Three-Ring Throne Wizard of your time!”

“In the past, he was the first pioneer to question the authority of the Dark Ages. But his ending was not good… Time passed, and history swallowed up many things, causing the history of Cassiodrak to disappear. Many wizards no longer knew him. But his spirit still remains in the past.”

“In that case, I will acknowledge you for now and allow your arrows to receive a touch of Cassiodrak’s spiritual power.”

“May Cassiodrak’s spirit shine once again in the distant future.”

“From today on, your arrows will receive a touch of the divine dragon’s spiritual blessing.”

Locke seemed to see the moment in the past history, in the Dark Ages, when the sacred dragon, which expressed people’s need to give up the mindless worship of authority, was finally exiled by those wizards into some terrible dark and desolate place.

Locke’s Book of the Sovereign automatically emerged and began to absorb this historical material.

This is also a piece of historical material.

The negative energy particle field information contained in this part of the spirituality is even a very precious historical document. This precious historical document comes from the inheritance within the faction of the Golden Crown Mountain Academic Committee, and is something that the original black wizard archaeologists would never be able to touch.

So although it objectively exists in this world, it is still considered a forgotten history because archaeologists cannot access it.

No one can read it.

And today, as Locke inherited this magic, this history was recorded by him as an archaeologist and entered into the Book of the Sovereign.
