While waiting to come back to his senses, Sean realized that he had already finished writing a whole page.
Subconsciously glanced at the time outside the window:
[Night: Sunny, 9:30:20]
It was just after nightfall, and I had only been in the study for about half an hour. So the time just now hadn't changed...
However.
He looked down at the records he had written in the magic book, which were all about the whole incident.
He even wrote down the sea stories that Illya had told him before.
"The Great Old Ones."
Is this your name?
Just now, this name suddenly flashed through his mind. Since he possessed the power of the [Time Ruler], Sean would obtain some information when he came into contact with it.
This should be the power of Yog-Sothoth telling himself.
Every time when he called out that name, Sean would always receive all the images transmitted by the other party in his mind. Those things that he had been unable to understand seemed to be solved in an instant.
Twice.
This happened twice in total, and both times after it appeared.
Gradually, Sean began to understand the existence of this person with the title of Lord of Time!
It should be time itself, it knows everything that happens, and it should even know everything that is going to happen.
A great being that wanders across various timelines...
So why is it telling me this now?
Looking at what was recorded in the magic book, the image of that giant octopus man seemed to still be in my mind.
Squeak~
The door was opened.
Illya brought some oil lamps for use at night and a plate of peeled fruit.
Illya makes similar arrangements almost every night, except that the midnight snack changes every day. Today it is fruit.
"Your Highness, are you going to stay late tonight too?" he asked Illya, putting down the plate.
"It's not like I like staying up late. I'll naturally rest after I finish watching it."
Sean actually spends more time reading every day. The layout of the factory and the investigation team has already had a rough framework, so he just needs to follow it.
Every night, Sean spends most of his time learning about Adak, including the geographical environment, ethnic distribution, various religious customs, etc.
"By the way, Illya. Do you still remember the stories you told me that day?"
"What stories would you like to hear, Your Highness?"
"Those stories you said sailors used to tell."
Illya originally worked and lived in a hotel.
It was similar to the Hydel Hotel in the Basaran Imperial Capital at that time. It employed many dancers and was also the favorite place for the nobles of the Imperial Capital. The only difference was that Illya was now at the seaside.
"Why would Your Highness be interested in those legends? Many of them are just nonsense told by sailors."
"Legends don't come from nowhere. Even if it's nonsense, there has to be a basis for it."
There are not so many forms of entertainment in this world yet, and most of the interesting stories in conversation are passed on by word of mouth. Even if there are various embellishments and falsehoods, at least part of the original starting point is true.
"Let me put it this way, the people I met today were the mercenaries I hired when I was in Oro City."
Illya nodded.
"Your Highness has mentioned this before."
"One of the reasons I asked them to come here was to help me organize an investigation into matters related to those evil gods. In the city I once managed, I encountered harassment from evil god believers many times, and even caused a lot of incidents."
There's nothing to hide.
The events of Old Tacoma had already spread to the Adak area over time.
As time goes by, more and more people will know about it, and maybe it will even spread to the southern continent.
"So Your Highness wants to investigate this matter thoroughly?" Illya asked.
"Well, it's impossible that they know everything about me and I know nothing about them," Sean said.
"I don't know much about these things, but those sailors sometimes have no sense of propriety. Who knows what they say is true and what is false... If Your Highness wants to find out about these things, why don't you go to the Temple of the Sun and ask?"
High priest?
It’s not that I don’t want to go.
But he refused to say anything. Judging from the last situation, he should know a lot of information. However, his mother was studying evil gods and eventually died.
Whether it's true or not, that's what they think.
So even if I knew something, I wouldn't tell myself.
"Didn't the high priest come here before? He said everything he could at that time."
"You can go and have a look, there are many legends engraved on the obelisk of the Temple of the Sun!"
Sean had studied those obelisks before. Most of the stories were modified by later people, and they were still the same old stories...telling stories about the sun god sprinkling fire to drive away evil spirits from the entire earth, etc.
It has no reference value!
However, Illya was right in one respect.
The Temple of the Sun does not only have the High Priest, there are many other priests as well. If they know a lot of information, we can ask them.
"You're right, you can go and have a look."
He looked at the magic book in his hand and closed it again.
The Great Old Ones.
It would be nice if I could find information related to them.
……………………
The next morning after morning exercise, Sean prepared to take a walk to the Temple of the Sun.
As soon as he walked out of the door of his palace, he met Princess Sylvie of Dansu coming towards him.
King Dansu and his family haven't left yet...
They probably won't leave until they get the punishment they really want. I heard that the discussion about the Sun King's help for Dansu has basically come to a conclusion, but the other party is still using all his possible connections to make the result better.
And even after it is confirmed, there are still many things to discuss in detail, such as the proficiency of deploying troops and the annual military expenditure if we continue to use our own methods.
Even if it is a method of borrowing money, the amount to be borrowed still needs to be discussed in detail.
So the Dansu royal family won't leave Jagong so early...
"Where is Prince Sean going?" Sylvie asked.
She is also dressed beautifully today. The aristocratic long skirt and the tight waist all show off the good figure of this beautiful princess.
"Go to the Temple of the Sun."
"Are you going again? Otherwise, I'll go with Prince Sean. If you go alone, you'll have someone to chat with on the way."
"Your Highness is going to do something. Princess Sylvie should have her own things to do, so it's better for her to go and do her business first!" Illya said with a smile beside her.
Sylvie looked at the maid.
I've heard people say that Prince Sean brought a personal maid with him when he came back. No wonder he's so good at talking.
