This world is a hazy chaos. Human beings live on the only remaining land in this chaos, using all their strength to push the [boundary] of chaos back, striving for more living space and more knowledge about the unknown.
"Lorenzo, this is a new discovery. Perhaps in this direction, we will eventually discover the true nature of the monsters." Merlin seemed very excited at this moment.
"No, Merlin... Let's wait for this research. This knowledge is cursed. Your previous feeling was correct." Lorenzo interrupted him.
"What did you say?" Merlin was a little confused.
"Knowledge is cursed. It seems that there is a certain [boundary] in human's understanding of the world. Once we touch [the boundary] or even cross [the boundary], we will suffer disaster."
Lorenzo did not mention the existence of the Silent Ones. He was unable to determine the specific concept of "boundary" and could only embellish it in words as much as possible.
Looking at Lorenzo's serious eyes, Merlin was silent for a moment, then he asked.
"You really remembered something, didn't you?"
Lorenzo nodded.
"You also remembered a lot of things, many things that can refresh our understanding of demons, but because of the so-called [boundary], you can't tell me, because once you tell me, I may be attacked by some unknown thing, right?"
Lorenzo nodded again. He knew the hidden secret, but at the moment he could only play dumb with Merlin.
"I'm not sure exactly what [the border] is... Too many people have died from this stuff."
Looking back now, Shermans' death was also predetermined, just like the dark fate. If he had not died from Cantrera's poison at that time, would another Silent One have appeared out of nowhere and wielded a long spike to kill Shermans
"So... the Holy Night was also caused by that kind of thing, right? I've felt something was wrong for a long time, but you're the only survivor, and we have no choice but to believe the information you told us."
Merlin suddenly had a sense of enlightenment. Before the Holy Night, the Demon Hunting Cult was a far more powerful organization than the Purification Agency. They had been fighting against demons for thousands of years, so how could they be wiped out because of an experimental accident
"On that holy night, the Demon Hunting Cult's research on the Holy Grail touched the boundary, and a disaster came and destroyed everything..."
This was Merlin's speculation, and it was also a correct speculation. As Merlin spoke, Lorenzo's thoughts could not help but return to that burning night. Suddenly he found that this seemed to be a conspiracy of Lorenzo Medici.
As he aged, he could no longer control the church, so he deliberately leaked the Holy Grail to his enemies. While they were conducting research, he was also sublimating in the dry well.
A deep chill surged from his heart. This was not an accidental event, but was premeditated. On that night, while Lorenzo Medici was performing sublimation, a sublimation ceremony was also taking place in the Temple of Stasis. Both sides attracted the attention of the Silent Ones. Lorenzo Medici wanted to use this method to relieve the pressure on his side when dealing with the Silent Ones.
No... Not only that, the only person in the church who had some knowledge of the Silent Ones at that time was Lorenzo de' Medici. He did not give up the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail itself was part of his counterattack. Lorenzo could already imagine the astonishment and fear in those people's eyes when countless Silent Ones appeared out of thin air in the Temple of Stasis.
