The room was quiet, and everyone was silently passing those precious ancient documents and artifacts. The elders of the demon hunters concentrated their attention on everything that was handed to them as if they were holding treasures, for fear of damaging even the slightest bit. Except for Bai Huo and Tutan, all the people present were the most knowledgeable and experienced group of demon hunters. They could fully see the value and significance of these antique items—these ancient scrolls, stone tablets with inscriptions, The crystals that record information, as well as the ancient sacred artifacts with inscriptions, each of them has a history of at least six thousand years. That was the period when the "demon hunters" were established as a truly powerful force. turning point in history.
It was also an age shrouded in mystery and thick fog.
The demon hunters are very clear that they have a lot in common with other alien species on the earth. Even though they have been trying hard to define the difference between the two, they must at least admit that the demon hunter race is the same as other alien species. suddenly appeared on Earth. They know that they have at least ten thousand years of history on this planet, but a certain period six thousand years ago is a blur to their scholars: their history has a lot of gaps in those hundreds of years .
That period was only a mere hundred years, compared with the 10,000-year inheritance, it was just a flick of a finger, but it was the most important hundred years.
Before this turning point, the demon hunters were just a weak group of wandering and migrating in the cold north. Although they had superior physical fitness and magical talents, they did not develop their own profession due to the lack of necessary technical and cultural knowledge. And the power system, they are quite weak, they can only avoid those powerful alien races wandering around, and live a hermit life in the ice and snow, almost no alien race knows their existence.
And after this turning point, the demon hunters suddenly prospered. They had a country in another space called "Corpus" as their home, with countless ancient ruins to discover, and a certain superhero. A precious legacy of civilization. They began to develop their own talent bloodline, forming the standard "demon hunter" power system today. And more importantly—they established lofty spiritual goals, united under the lofty and unanimous goal of "hunting aliens", and launched the first "hunting war" in history.
But no one knows exactly how this turning point happened: all the centuries-old history has mysteriously disappeared.
The demon hunters seem to have encountered an adventure that fell from the sky. After paying a hundred years of historical blankness, they suddenly became the most capable violent team on the planet.
Countless scholars have devoted a lot of time and energy to investigate the truth of the year, but found nothing. The sporadic evidence that can be found is not enough to lift the veil of the century-old fog. This is a great regret for the demon hunters. The elder Gregory once lamented: "We have a glorious history of 10,000 years, but we are only missing the most critical hundred years!"
With such an unnatural fault, it is inevitable that people will think of the conspiracy behind it.
However, Hao Ren is very clear that there is only one reason for their history to be interrupted: Vivienne participated in the rise of the Demon Hunter almost the entire time during those hundred years. She can be said to be the core character of "The Rise of the Demon Hunter Expansion Pack". When her name and deeds are erased, there will be nothing left in the entire hundred-year history.
"This... this..." Elder Gregory held an ancient scroll with trembling hands, and what was recorded on the scroll surprised and confused him. I couldn't help breathing quickly, "This is the fourteenth person mentioned above..."
Before Gregorwen could finish speaking, Hao Ren stood up: "Do you need to verify the authenticity of the scroll?"
The elders in the room looked at each other. They have all seen the key data and evidence, but the huge impact on the worldview made everyone subconsciously doubt—doubt everything. It also includes the documents and files in front of you.
"If these are true, then it's just... a big joke," the elder Andahel said in a hoarse voice, and her slightly petite body shrank even more into her large windbreaker, as if trying to escape something, " And it's not funny."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, but just shrugged dumbfoundedly, saying that the reality is indeed much more bizarre than the novel.
"There is no doubt about the authenticity of these things," Claude stood up. "These things have been sealed in the first sage's secret room for thousands of years, and the magic blessing left by the first sage still remains on it. You can check it yourself. In addition..."
As Claude spoke, his gaze fell on the elder Gregory.
"Elder Gregory, you are the oldest senior here. If I guessed correctly, you should be able to confirm the authenticity of these records."
Gregorwen sighed, pinched his brows as if he was tired, and then looked at the juniors around him who were waiting for him to speak. After a long time, he knocked on the table: "I'm afraid... it's all true."
There was some commotion at the scene.
"Since three days ago, I have been troubled by some fragmented dreams and memories," Gregory sighed, "At first I thought it was the effect of Away Soul Disease, but soon the visual and auditory hallucinations of Away Soul Disease Disappeared, only these broken memories and dreams keep popping up, and now I'm sure it's my childhood memories. Some old friends should know, my childhood memories are always vague... that's what we are missing. "
Gregory smiled wryly, pointing to the antique scroll on the table.
"I saw the scene of Vivienne Ansesta leading the demon hunters in the Arctic Circle, as well as Corpus' early excavation work. Although only a small part of the memory has been recovered, it is certain that they are related to these scrolls It matches the above record."
Hao Ren's eyes lit up immediately.
He thought that the generation of demon hunters six thousand years ago were all dead, but he didn't expect that there was one alive—with Gregorian's evidence, all problems would be solved!
It just seems that the curse of the God-killing Sword is quite powerful, and has permanently damaged part of Gregorian's memory (it may also be that Gregory was too fragile back then, and was more severely affected by the curse), the old hunter can recall Things are limited, otherwise the evidence would be stronger.
But no matter how you say it, the next thing is starting to become clear...
Hao Ren told the elders present everything he had heard from Mimir about Vivienne and the "Rise of the Witcher", including the truth about the frenzy caused by the "Dark Sword". He didn't explain in detail the origin of the sword and the secret of killing the gods behind it, because the background involved in these things is more complicated, and it is impossible to explain it clearly at once. While Hao Ren was explaining, Bai Huo, Tutain, and Claude continued to add details to make the whole process more reliable and credible.
The vague memory fragments in Gregorian's mind perfectly fit the facts.
"Anyway, that's how things are," Hao Ren pointed to Vivian after everything was finished, "this is your fourteenth saint, strictly speaking, he is the most qualified demon hunter who is still alive today. Human leader. Whether you want to admit it or not, she has become your supreme leader when the saint group has fallen."
Hao Ren secretly added two words in his heart: one.
The leaders at the scene had just heard the story about the Fourteenth Saint, and they were still immersed in the huge impact of the world view. They had no energy to think about these things at all. At this time, when Hao Ren reminded them, everyone suddenly reacted.
Even Vivienne herself was shocked.
According to the family law of the ancestors, Vivienne, the "Fourteenth Sage", has never abdicated at all, and all the other members of the existing Sage Group have all fled to the street, so... the supreme leader of the Demon Hunter Group has really changed. Become the ancestor of this vampire!
However, Hao Ren's shocking news is obviously more than that. He didn't give the elders time to react: "There is another more important thing to announce. Compared with Vivienne's saint status, this second thing I'm afraid it's more exciting, you wait until you finish listening to it before frying the pot..."
Andahel immediately stood up, his voice trembling: "Can there be more frightening news than this?!"
In her mind, Vivienne's true identity was enough to shatter the post-disaster reconstruction for everyone at the scene, and she didn't believe that Hao Ren could have more scary news.
In the end, Hao Ren easily lifted Lily who was sleeping next to him in the dark, and he shook the husky girl by the collar: "Come on, call your ancestor."
Lily opened her eyes in a daze, the corners of her mouth were still drooling: "... huh?" (to be continued~^~)
