While thinking in her mind, Dorothy began to control the corpse to carefully flip through the pages of the book, trying to find some valuable clues. After flipping for a long time, she did not find any clues on the pages, but found something on the notebook that was sandwiched between the pages.
That was the last line Barrett wrote in his notebook as a note, which recorded the source of these old pages.
"The Legend of Arthur, 524th edition."
'The Legend of Arthur from 524... This thing is a book from more than 800 years ago... This book contains the legend of Arthur from more than 800 years ago. The difference between it and the current version is really huge.'
Dorothy thought so in her heart as she looked at the handwriting on the notebook. Then she asked the male servant corpse to continue flipping through the pages and notes, and put them down after confirming that there was no other special information worthy of attention.
Then, Dorothy asked the butler corpse to slowly walk to Barrett's main desk and began to look for useful information on it. After flipping through it for a while, he saw a notebook placed in the center of Barrett's desk. After opening it, he found that it was full of Barrett's notes, which seemed to be what Barrett was writing before he was assassinated.
Dorothy controlled the male servant corpse and began to look through the notebook, and then found that it was a research record of Barrett, whose research project was "The Influence of the Glorious Religion on the Traditional Culture of Putin".
Dorothy looked through the research records and found that Barrett's research was aimed at the Glorious Church. He used the folk legends of the Putin people as clues and conducted in-depth research on how the Glorious Church cultural stones had profoundly influenced the Putin people for thousands of years. In his research, he directly claimed that the traditional Putin people's beliefs and culture had been destroyed beyond recognition by the Glorious Church.
During Barrett's research, he discovered that the Mirror Moon Goddess referred to by the Mirror Moon Statue was once a common belief on the three islands of Put. Around 100 to 200 years after the Glorious Calendar, the Glorious Religion was introduced from the mainland and quickly spread its belief throughout Put. The belief in the Mirror Moon Goddess quickly dissipated within a few centuries.
Around 500 to 700 years of the Glorious Calendar, the belief in the Mirror Moon Goddess transitioned from being a universally believed goddess to the Lady of the Lake in folk legends. After several hundred more years, even the various stories about the Lady of the Lake began to be replaced by the images of the Three Saints and even saints in the Glorious Church. A typical example is that the Son of God replaced the Lady of the Lake as Arthur's guide, and there are many such plots.
In the latter part of this research record, Barrett recorded the current situation of the Mirror Moon Goddess belief in Put. Only in some marginal villages are there still a few sporadic legends of the lake fairy circulating. Many mythological stories of the Put natives have been enlightened by the light.
At the end of the study, Barrett left a comment summarizing his findings.
"For thousands of years, the Radiant Church has been destroying and transforming our original beliefs and culture. Although in this process, there have also been spontaneous resistance and conflicts from our nation, it now seems that this resistance is likely the biggest factor that fueled the Wind King Rebellion."
Through the vision of the corpse standing in front of the desk, Dorothy looked at Barrett's research records in front of her with a knowing look. Barrett's research confirmed some of Dorothy's previous guesses. The Fairy of the Lake really evolved from the image of the Mirror Moon Goddess. Dorothy also guessed that Putt's belief in the Mirror Moon Goddess gradually disappeared to this point under the promotion of the Radiant Religion.
What caught Dorothy's attention in this research record was Barrett's last sentence, which was the description of the Wind King Rebellion.
Dorothy also knew the term "Wind King's Rebellion". In the "History of the Kingdom of Putte" that Dorothy had read in the Guanda Library, it was recorded that the Wind King's Rebellion was a large-scale civil war more than 500 years ago in which the Despenser royal family and several princes from all over the country participated.
According to historical records, the cause of this civil war was that the heir to the kingdom at the time was young and lacked legitimacy. In order to compete for the throne, a war broke out between several Despenser clans with territories. The princes of the country chose the legal system they supported, and it eventually evolved into a nationwide civil war.
The ultimate winner of this war was Edward Despenser, the ancestor of the current Despenser royal family. He was also called Edward the Builder because he ordered the construction of Tivian. The victor was finally crowned by the Archbishop of the Pruett Diocese in a very grand ceremony.
'The Wind King Rebellion... No matter which history book it is in, it is a story about a group of ambitious people fighting to the death for the throne. The cause of the war has always been the throne. However, according to Barrett, the main cause of the Wind King Rebellion was the resistance of the Putt people themselves to the oppression of the Glorious Religion's faith and culture... Interesting...
"If the facts are as Barrett said, the war at that time was not only about the royal family and the princes, but also had a profound influence on the Glorious Church. Judging from the current situation in Putt, the Glorious Church is the winner."
After finishing reading the research records, Dorothy in the carriage murmured in her heart, and then she asked the male servant corpse to put down Barrett's research records and continued to look for something valuable around the desk.
After a while, Dorothy's attention was drawn to the wall next to Barrett's desk. After careful observation, Dorothy found that there was a scroll-like thing hanging on the wall.
Dorothy asked the butler corpse to walk forward and take a closer look. She found that it was a roll of dirty-looking coarse cloth tied with thin thread. After looking at it carefully for a few times, Dorothy asked the butler corpse to take down the cloth and unfold it for a look.
Then, what appeared before Dorothy's eyes was a severely faded abstract shield. Although many parts of the shield were blurred, the general outline of it could still be barely distinguished.
The shield was divided into four parts, with two men and two women, four extremely abstract knight images, painted on it. There was a large crescent moon painted on the back of the shield, and next to the knights were Gupta letters that Dorothy could barely recognize.
Two of the male knights were labeled "Wind Knight" and "Blood Knight", and the two female knights were "Spirit Knight" and "Dream Knight".
A label with a note written by Barrett is attached to a corner of the coat of arms painting.
"It was unearthed on June 18, 1359 from the tomb of the Eisenk family. It is suspected to have been painted by the Zun Gu School during the Wind King Rebellion."
