Chapter 109 Return
Royal Holy Crown University, underground of King's Campus.
In the ruins, Dorothy was still looking at the Imperial language message on the hidden wall in front of her, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought as she looked at the content on it.
'This inscription... was left by the priest who originally worshipped this statue. According to him, this goddess was once widely believed in the three islands of Prit, but because of some unknown 'agreement', the belief in this goddess had to be withdrawn from Prit. If his priests wanted to continue to follow her, they had to leave their homes and go far to the east.
"If it is true that her faith was once spread throughout the whole of Plit, as stated in this message, then it makes sense that her statues appeared in the distant Razor Mountains and Tivian. If things go wrong, there may be her relics throughout the three islands of Plit."
Dorothy thought so, and then she began to recall the history of Pritt in the textbook, to see if she could find any information about this goddess from the perspective of secular history. However, after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with an answer.
In all the history textbooks Dorothy had come into contact with, the origin of all history began almost a thousand years ago, when the Glowing Savior saved the world. From that time onwards for the next thousand years, the Three Holy Sects of the Glowing Cult were the absolute mainstream beliefs of the main continent. Any other beliefs that were not from the Three Holy Sects would be defined as paganism or heresy, and in name, all countries on the main continent did not allow heresy and paganism to exist legally.
If the inscription is genuine, then worship of this goddess was once widespread on the island of Prittim, either at some point a thousand years ago, or it was a fabrication in general history textbooks.
'It is worth noting that the clergyman who left the message mentioned the word "contract", which means that the Goddess's withdrawal from Plit seems to be an agreement and a relatively peaceful process. I don't know what kind of reason can make a god give up the faith of an entire country...'
Dorothy thought so, and then continued to look at a paragraph in the message.
'The clergyman who left this message said that this altar was built by them in this ancient ruins for training and meditation. In other words, this ruins belonging to the Star Numbers Society itself is older and more ancient than them, and the demise of the Star Numbers Society even preceded the construction of this altar.'
Dorothy made this analysis. After listening to Beverly's words before, she knew that after the demise of the Star Numbers Society, the ruins under the school were used as a base by many forces. So, this religious organization that worships the goddess is also one of these forces. They just use this place as a secret base, and there should be no other major connection between this place and the Star Numbers Society itself.
"Although I don't know what the Eight-pointed Nest wants to do with this altar left over from a thousand years ago? What is its purpose? But since it has nothing to do with the Book Repair Society, it has nothing to do with me."
Dorothy thought so, and then asked her corpse servant to pick up the gas lamp and prepare for further exploration. The location of the altar of the goddess was not deep in the ruins. There were stairs leading down. Dorothy felt that what she was looking for should be somewhere deeper.
Of course, Dorothy was not completely without gain after investigating the goddess statue. The inscription on the wall contained poison identification, which was secret knowledge. Dorothy extracted 3 points of "Shadow" and 1 point of "Inspiration" from it.
"So, this goddess is probably a god from the realm of Shadow? Sure enough, she has little to do with Qi's Book Repair Society. If we want to find the remains of the Book Repair Society, we may need to go deeper."
While thinking this, Dorothy controlled the corpse puppet, holding the lamp and continued to walk down the stairs to explore deeper into the ruins.
…
On the other side, north of King Campus, is North Pine Forest.
The chase between the hunter and the thorns, which was originally in progress, came to an abrupt end because of the appearance of a figure.
After the swarms of bats killed three hunters on the spot, the remaining hunters and team leaders stopped and watched as the swarms of bats condensed out of thin air into a tall and thin figure with a bald head, red eyes, pale skin, and a body.
"The bats that can move at high speeds at will...are actually vampires!?"
Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of them, the two captains of the hunters could not help but stand still with serious expressions, staring vigilantly at the indifferent man named Claudiu in front of them.
They knew clearly that the so-called vampire was not the name of some legendary creature, but the name of a rank in the Cretaceous Stage, with the main "Shadow" and the auxiliary "Cup" branch.
Cretaceous! The strange man who suddenly appeared in front of us is a Cretaceous-level extraordinary person! Although I don’t know why he came to save the target, this is not something we can deal with!
"Retreat, separate!"
Looking at the scene before them, the captain of the hunter team quickly made a judgment in his mind. They issued orders to the entire team, and all of a sudden, all the hunters turned around and retreated into the woods. The two captains also left quickly. When they found that the opponent was not someone they could deal with, these hunters decisively chose to evacuate.
Faced with the quickly dispersing hunters, Claudiu did not choose to chase them. He just watched silently as all the hunters disappeared into the darkness. Only the three corpses that he had killed with the bats at the beginning were left at the scene.
"K, Mr. Claudiu, you just let them go like this. These black dogs killed Amin and others..."
Kneeling on the ground, Cirong spoke to Claudio anxiously, while Claudio turned his head silently and spoke to Cirong coldly.
"Humph... If I wipe out two of the capital's hunting patrols here, how much will the Black Dog Bureau react? It will only cause them to send in a few garrison captains to investigate the incident, which will only cause more trouble."
Claudius' tone was stern. He let the hunter go because he didn't want to stimulate the escalation of the situation. If two black-level team leaders died in this case, it would be enough to stimulate the Security Bureau to invest multiple Cretaceous forces to investigate this case.
For Claudio, now is not the time to get excited to this extent.
"Um... I am stupid and inconsiderate, Master Claudius..."
Listening to Claudio's words, Cirong responded in panic, and Claudio glared at him before continuing to speak.
"Aren't you here to raid the base of the so-called 'Rosicrucian' small society? How did you encounter Black Dog?"
"We may have been deceived from the beginning! Master Claudius, there was no gathering at the place we raided. Instead, it was an ambush of the Black Dogs. The 'Rose Cross' may not exist at all! All of this may be a conspiracy of the Black Dogs!"
Cirong said to Claudiu. Hearing Cirong's words, Claudiu frowned slightly and then spoke seriously.
"What is the situation in school now?"
"Your Excellency, most of the people were brought out by me to carry out the raid, and only a few are left behind." Cirong responded. After hearing Cirong's words, Claudiu paused for a moment with a serious expression, and then spoke seriously.
"Go...return immediately."
