Hao Ren did not hide his astonishing discovery in the Ark database. Everyone, including Vivian, was extremely shocked by the truth of the matter.
The creator of 90% of the dream plane's ecosystem, the incredibly powerful goddess of creation, has been killed—and it was done by mortals!
Of course, due to the limited information in the Ark database, the details of the incident 10,000 years ago are still unknown, and they are not sure that the people of the starry sky are true and reliable. The field of disaster investigation is still making amazing progress, but the results of this progress seem not to be happy.
"I don't know how to tell the bearded people about this." Hao Ren sighed after telling the family about the matter, "I was thinking that even if he is more enlightened, he will have to die for the martyrdom when he hears the news... "
"Then don't talk about it first," Vivian raised her eyelids, "at least wait until we find the remnants of the Goddess of Creation... I think such a powerful god should leave some traces even if he dies."
Y'zaks nodded in agreement: "Well. Although the Goddess of Creation has fallen, her power is obviously still functioning. The divine arts of the Glory Sect and the telepathy produced by believers are all real. Anyway, in our world After death, a strong enough individual will often leave some strange phenomena and traces, which can even last for thousands of years, the goddess of creation should not be worse than those bumpkins."
Elizabeth was sitting on Yzaks' shoulders and tinkering with a small radio. At this time, she waved a screwdriver and shouted happily: "So at that time, I never believed that my father was dead—my father is such a powerful devil. If you really want to die, use It's normal to curse an entire race with resentment. The coalition forces of all races who came to the door were ready to be cursed and wiped out. As a result, nothing happened for more than half a year, so I thought my dad must be alive... "
Hao Ren looked at Y'zaks with a strange expression: "... Your daughter's way of thinking is really worthy of her race."
Y'zaks scratched his bald head in embarrassment: "Neglect of discipline, neglect of discipline..."
After Nangong and his wife returned to Earth, they first went to Nasathorn to visit relatives, and then stayed at Hao Ren's house. In this way, half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the scorching summer soon showed its full potential. Power. The hot weather makes people drowsy. The few days of idleness also made Hao Ren, a half-hearted adventurer who has adapted to the life of business trips, feel bored. However, considering the unexpected nature of the inspector's mission, he could only wait at home honestly. Spend time playing around with my zoo-like family all day long.
Lily still kept her habit. After eating and drinking in the morning, she ran around the city to give the dogs a circle. According to her, this is the time when the incidence of infectious diseases is high, and the stray dogs should be treated well. Only the disease prevention work can ensure the team's sufficient combat effectiveness-but everyone really can't see how combat effectiveness her gang of paparazzi have. Except for the fact that they were getting more and more tidy when they were gathered by Lily to line up recently.
Carrying the medicine box and running outside under the sun for a long time, Lily was quite energetic when she came back at noon. She threw the medicine box into the living room and lay down on the window sill to look at the street scene. The old yellow dog was panting to dissipate heat with its tongue sticking out, Lily tilted her head and looked at it for a long time. Then he stuck out his tongue: "Whew, whew, whew..."
Vivienne was reading a book next to her. Hearing the movement, he raised his head and glanced, his face full of contempt: "Look at your image."
Lily didn't expect her enemy to be sitting next to her, so she quickly withdrew her tongue and said with a stern face: "I'm just entertaining myself. What about May? I want her to help me get some ice water so I can cool off."
Vivienne raised a finger and shook it: "Want ice cubes? Cool off? Just stand there and don't move, I'll give you a stimulus."
Lily immediately jumped back more than two meters: "Did I provoke you?"
"Vivienne, let's turn on the air-conditioning, it's really hot today," Hao Ren was fiddling with the data terminal (actually playing DOTA) not far away, and raised his head when he heard the noise of bats and big dogs. "In addition, Wuyue went out with her parents. Her parents wanted to get familiar with the environment, and by the way, they were looking for ways to support their family in modern times. After watching TV for half a month, they are now in a hurry to integrate into modern society."
Vivian shrugged her shoulders and snapped her fingers. Wisps of pale white air-conditioning immediately appeared around her, and the cool breeze quickly spread throughout the living room and gradually spread to the entire building. The electricity bill she saved this summer was enough to cover the rent.
Lily opened her mouth to face the cold wind and took a few deep breaths, before letting out a long and comfortable sigh: "Bat, you are useful at this moment... By the way, look at Nangong's parents, and then look at you. Everyone knows that they work to support their families …”
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a cloud of cold air blowing towards her face, and the careless husky girl was instantly frozen into a dog.
Vivienne lowered her head and continued to read: "There's so much nonsense, the landlord hasn't commented yet."
Hao Ren hurried forward to help Lily clear the ice off her body, while looking at Vivienne curiously: "By the way, you read there early in the morning, what are you reading?"
"It was sent from the sanctuary in Athens two days ago, an ancient book that Heatherana collected from nowhere," Vivienne raised the classic-looking and gorgeous black leather book in her hand, "The author is unknown, but it may come from At the end of the Middle Ages, a Latin book should be a sensational thing for promoting heresy to human beings... But I suspect that this thing has something to do with me."
Hao Ren was immediately aroused and moved over to take a look. He saw that the cover of the book was bound in black tanned leather, and there was only a solitary title on it: "On Evil Spirits and Myths". Apart from that, he couldn't see any information about the author.
Vivian opened the book, and Hao Ren saw that this old book was well preserved. On the yellowed pages, clear handwriting and illustrations with a strong European dark age style could be seen. You can see beautiful patterns. An illustration on one of the pages shows a circle of small figures dancing around a bonfire, while a devil peers out from the clouds above the picture—a reminder of the darkest days of European civilization. During the period, those heresy beliefs, weird worship, and evil legends continued to grow in the dark corners. Obviously, no matter in which era this book is placed, it should not be a "genuine work".
"Are you sure that this stuff has been passed down from the Middle Ages to today?" Hao Ren reached out and twisted the pages of the book in good condition curiously, but felt that there was a creepy softness in his hand, not ordinary paper at all. Tactile, "I'll go, this thing..."
"Don't worry, it's not human skin," Vivian tapped on the pages of the book, "it's the skin of a black goat, and it's been treated with witchcraft, so it's different from ordinary parchment. I haven't seen this method for a long time. Already... Making this kind of pages requires raising black goats in darkened caves, slaughtering them on a moonless night after a while, and processing them into parchment by wizards themselves. Ha, what a waste of energy."
Hao Ren was dumbfounded when he heard this. The knowledge of ancient witchcraft sounds like a godsend. He didn't understand it: "It's so troublesome? Why?"
"First of all, it can be preserved for more than a thousand years," Vivienne held up the black book, "Secondly, using magic to treat the pages of the book itself is a kind of mark—proving that this book is a real 'magic book', not those A chaotic copy made by charlatans without the slightest magic power or hidden knowledge. This kind of magic book was very popular many years ago. Despite the church's high-handed control, many people, even the nobles, were keen to secretly collect these books. to show their 'knowledge', but usually they can only find fakes, and only genuine wizards, aliens, demon hunters, and monks can identify and obtain real and effective witch books. Finally... in those days, books It is an expensive thing. Nobles will improve the 'taste' of books by transcribing on expensive paper, making gold buckles on books, mixing spices in ink, etc., and of course those pretentious wizards also It is inevitable to join in the fun, so they compete to make magic books with more complicated rituals to show their witchcraft knowledge and professionalism."
Finally, Vivienne added: "Of course I think people who do this are idiots—this can only leave clues for the witcher. Once the magic books fall into the hands of the hunters, the authors of these books will not live long. .”
Hao Ren was stunned: "Is this using your life to pretend?" (To be continued~^~)
