While Hao Ren was chatting with La Nina, he suddenly saw the gate of the temple not far away open, and a familiar figure came out from it—Hasu.
"It's better to hit the sun than choose the day..." Hao Ren muttered, "Let's settle this matter today."
The terrible situation of Corpus has made Hasselblad exhausted for days, and there is hardly a moment to breathe.
And he has to deal with his own messy brain.
Although the dark power of the God Killing Sword has dissipated, its whispers have affected all the demon hunters who have been trapped in the gap between time and space, Hasselblad is no exception, and the time and space created after the change of the clock tower in the spiritual world The distortion also damaged the spirits of those trapped to a certain extent. Hasselblad and other witchers who came out of the clock tower of the spirit world are still plagued by a sequela called "exorcism".
But compared to the Corpus Rebellion that just ended, this aftermath is nothing.
Hao Ren and La Nina left the high platform to say hello to Hasu. The two called several times in a row before the old hunter finally woke up from his thoughts. Seeing this, Hao Ren could only twitch the corners of his mouth helplessly: "Hasselblad, is the condition of leaving soul disease still serious?"
Hasselblad quickly rectified the expression on his face, and regained some of his previous calm look, with an awkward smile in one of his one eyes: "It has improved, and the visual and auditory hallucinations almost no longer occur, I just just Thinking about something."
Hao Ren rubbed his chin, thinking that even a demon hunter of Hasselblad's level was troubled by the ecstasy, and the situation of other demon hunters who were less powerful than him was even more conceivable. It's not easy for these guys to insist on completing the reconstruction work with such a chaotic head.
Leaving Soul Sickness, this is a common sequelae of those witchers who were once trapped in the tower. It may be the reason for being trapped in the cracks of time and space for a long time. Their senses have degenerated to varying degrees, and they are often mentally exhausted. Various troublesome symptoms. Fortunately, Yizaks believed that these symptoms were temporary after an examination. Depending on the constitution of each person, they will completely recover within a few days to a month, and Hasselblad is the one whose symptoms improved the fastest. .
"Originally, I wanted to discuss this matter after you all recovered from the soul-leaving disease, but I still have a lot of things to do," Hao Ren rubbed his chin. "And it seems that your soul-leaving disease is not serious enough to affect your personal judgment, so it's about time..."
Hasselblad heard Hao Ren's serious tone. His expression immediately became serious, his voice was low and even a little nervous: "What's the matter?"
Hao Ren gave Hasselblad a strange look: "Why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"
Hasselblad continued with a tense and serious face: "The last time you spoke in this tone was to tell me the truth about 'God's original sin', and within a few days after I came back, there was civil strife in Corpus——I just got the word from the countess. I heard that your mouth has a magical power. So what do you want to say this time?"
Hao Ren: "..."
Even La Nina, who was always calm next to her, could hardly bear it. Sister Succubus's face was almost deformed, her thin tail twisted vigorously in the air, and the demon wings behind her trembled and trembled like a cramp. of. Hao Ren felt that he couldn't stand it anymore: "...you can laugh if you want to. Old Wang is not here."
La Nina's tail was almost twisted into twists: "Puff... no... I'm my king's military adviser... I can't express my emotions and anger..."
Hao Ren: "... All right, all right, you don't show any emotions, so hurry up and report to Lao Wang, just say that I want to announce the big event. And don't forget to find Lily, that guy probably didn't tell anyone else. If you are together, you should be able to find it in the kitchen.”
After Hao Ren finished giving orders, the succubus La Nina, who claims to be indifferent to emotions, fluttered her wings and flew into the distance with a distorted smile on her face. Hao Ren watched from behind with a troubled face: "Why didn't you know before?" This sister has such a low smile... La Nina! You flew backwards! The officer's barracks is on the left!"
After La Nina finally flew towards the officer's barracks, Hao Ren turned to Hasselblad: "I have something to announce. It is related to the historical inheritance of the demon hunters and the truth about the Saints. This matter may subvert your world view, and it is not right There's a huge impact on the lower classes of witchers - so you can't just tell everyone."
Hasselblad reacted immediately: "Call the current 'New Presbyterian Church'?"
After the original ruling structure collapsed, Hasselblad and the highly respected among the witchers urgently organized a new leadership team. This impromptu leadership team includes the surviving high-ranking dean of the Presbyterian Order and the elder class demon hunters outside the order, as well as some qualified people who have shown outstanding leadership and organizational skills in this civil war. Master witchers. White Fire and Tutan are among them.
All the saints were wiped out, none of the elders remained, and more than half of the original members of the council died. As a result, even young people like Bai Huo became the leader class.
"... Only the elders are called, and they are the most mature, prudent and rational people you trust," Hao Ren thought for a while, "Bai Huo and Tutane are also called, they already know about it gone."
The expression on Hasselblad's face changed slightly, and his brows frowned involuntarily: "Could it be... the matter of the first saint..."
"Bai Huo already told you?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows. "Well, I expected her to tell you something. That's right. That's it."
Hasselblad took a deep breath: "She didn't tell me much, but I found some changes when I checked the ancient books... Well, I know the nature of this matter, and I will call everyone."
An hour later, Hasselblad summoned qualified personnel to participate in the meeting, and La Nina also gathered Hao Ren's side who were running around, and everyone came to a spacious room in the Great Temple, ready to face a It is about to subvert the truth of all three views of the witcher.
The huge room was as spacious as a hall, and at the long table in the center of the room sat dozens of demon hunters with serious or tired or confused expressions—these were all the elder leaders that Hasselblad could find.
Meanwhile, Hao Ren's people were sitting at the end of the long table. Vivienne was sorting out the documents at hand with a serious face. The four members of Nangong's family were sitting in a precarious state as the background. Yizaks and La Nina were talking in a low voice about the latest situation in the Demon King's City. Even little Elizabeth, who was always having problems, sat aside obediently: she had a small radio that was disassembled in half, which was enough for her to play for an hour.
However, one of the biggest leaders of this meeting—Lily was dozing off on the table, and she was bleeding all over the floor...
"What's wrong with this guy?" Hao Ren frowned and asked Vivian in a low voice.
Vivienne sighed: "Last night, I ate barbecue to support myself. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and ran around. Today I slept like a dead dog in broad daylight."
Hao Ren: "..."
"Ahem, everyone is here," Hasselblad stood up and coughed twice to break the silence, "Then we can start."
Hao Ren squinted at Lily, put the completely hopeless husky aside first, then stood up and scanned everyone present: "...Then, all of you here are the current top leaders of the Demon Hunter. No need for introductions and formalities, and I believe Hasselblad has vaccinated everyone in advance, what we have to say today is very important-I hope everyone in this room can look at everything in a calm, objective and foresighted way."
If it was the demon hunter group before the Corpus Civil War, they would have dismissed such a warning from a foreign race, or even confronted each other. However, after the Corpus Rebellion, the surviving demon hunters were long have undergone major changes. They became serious one by one, showing great concern for Hao Ren's words.
Hao Ren waved his hand to the side, and several demon guards of the legion immediately stepped forward and placed many large boxes on the long conference table.
After the box was opened, the elders found that it was filled with the witcher's own stuff—ancient scrolls, documents, and holy artifacts. Although each of them was quite old and obviously not used in the present day, they all bore the logo of the witcher.
The Nangong father and son, Claude, Baihuo, and Tutan took the initiative to get up, divided these things into several piles, and sent them to the elders, and let the latter circulate them by themselves.
"These..." Elder Gregory was one of the most knowledgeable and experienced elders present, and he quickly judged the value of these things from certain features on these ancient relics and their aura residues, "This is the order of the religious order." Information from the early days of its establishment! Where did you find these things?"
"Let's take a look first," Hao Ren signaled to the elders not to pursue the source of these things, "This is only a part, the most representative part. I think, among the people present, a few people may have heard the wind, About your group of saints, about the early society of demon hunters, and about the curse of the dark sword... Everything you want to know is in these ancient documents." (To be continued~^~)
