Chapter 181 Files
Behind the wooden gate, a tall guard wearing shiny full-coverage steel armor and a long sword on his waist stood guard.
On the surface, the guard seemed to be of excellent quality.
If you ignore the strange posture of him leaning against the wooden support column at the door with his head slightly tilted.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the guard suddenly woke up from his sleep, stood up quickly, and acted as if he was doing his duty.
No matter where they move to, as long as the size of their power does not exceed a certain level, the styles of these guards are always the same as if they were carved from the same mold.
Looking at the familiar guard's style, Avis's mouth twitched slightly.
"What's the matter?"
"Hello, where is the archives room?"
Hearing this, the guard looked at the two of them.
He was of average build, his clothing was covered by a brown traveler's cloak, and his appearance was indescribably ordinary.
...But he just makes people feel very friendly, so friendly that people can't bear to refuse any of his requests.
"The second-floor corridor, counting from the staircase, is the third room from the end. The room with an open scroll printed in the middle of the door is it."
"I see. Thank you for your answer."
Nodding, Avis took Joem to the second floor, leaving the guards there whose charm effect had not yet been lifted.
After successfully finding the archive room the guard mentioned, Avis pushed the door open, spreading his mental power, and searched for the information he needed among the rows of tall stone archive shelves.
Soon, the classification labels on several filing cabinets were determined.
Avis controlled his mental power and took down several thick paper files and an ancient stone tablet.
The archives here are not all paper records, but a mixture of paper archives, stone tablets and magic crystal balls to record information.
"The Origin of the History of Ravanlais Bay I", "Investigation Report of the Moon-Calling Secret Cult", "Record of Geological Changes on Ravanlais Island"...
After flipping through the documents in his hands, Anvis finally had a complete concept of this island.
The earliest history of the port city of Lavanlais can be traced back to the time when the continent of Yar was still ruled by the ancient magic empire.
In the year 2826 of the Magic Calendar, a fleet encountered a rare and extremely large storm. After half of the ships capsized, the remaining ships were all swept into the depths of the foggy sea by the wind and waves, and lost in the endless fog of death.
Perhaps it was God's will, or perhaps it was some darker and more ominous will, their ship did not turn into a ghost ship wandering forever in the fog of death.
Instead, they arrived at this vast, ancient and desolate island by accident.
Initially, due to the invisible cursed force field on the island, half of the survivors went crazy, but the remaining people discovered Rai's temple and the protective force field that the temple continued to emit.
As a result, the survivors built their homes near the Rai Temple, gradually explored the island's environment, and officially settled down in this cursed land, becoming the earliest residents of Port Lavanlais.
However, although they were the first residents of the port city, they were not the earliest residents of the island.
In the primeval forests, wastelands and mountains of the island shrouded in a terrifying curse, there are many ancient ruins whose history is far older than that of Ravanlais.
No one knows the identities of the early residents who lived in those obscure and terrifying ancient ruins on the island.
But some obscure signs indicate that the ancient inhabitants of the island may not have all disappeared.
After briefly flipping through the origins of Lavanlais, Anvis continued to check the intelligence about the secret cult.
People who call themselves the Moon-Calling Secret Cult often wear dark hoods and cloaks, behave strangely and mysteriously, and no one knows what they are doing.
There is also evidence that the traces of this secret cult had already appeared on the island long before the merchant fleet sank.
The silver plate engraved with a dark green five-pointed star is their most common symbol.
They worship an ancient alien god, the most common of which is a faceless female figure with pitch-black tentacles.
Every night when the purple moon was full, they would hold a secret gathering in a ruin somewhere in the wilderness of the island. . ….….When Avis was immersed in reading, another young man with short brown hair walked into the room.
Hearing the voice, Avis spared a bit of energy and glanced towards the gate.
It's Claire!
Is she here to investigate some island information as well?
After a slight pause, Avis did not make any move, but just used a little mental energy to pay attention to her movements.
Under Avis's secret gaze, the girl searched for a while and took down several files from the shelf that contained historical records of the island.
After reading the entire article, she put the files back to their original places, stood up and left the archive room.
As soon as the girl's figure disappeared outside the door, Avis immediately extended his mental power and took out several files that she had just flipped through.
That is a record of the island's past history.
During that period, the curse of the island suddenly changed, becoming extremely anxious and turbulent.
People all stayed in the town and dared not go out.
But after a few days, the curse returned to normal.
The period of the curse lasted for a total of seven days.
At the same time, many people saw that the strange castle on the top of the highest mountain on the island suddenly emitted light.
It was a faint and strange phosphorescent light that looked like burning. . ..….After looking up the information he needed, Avis also left the archives.
Smiling and nodding goodbye to the guard at the door, he left the administrative hall and prepared to search the location of the residence of the two Moon-Calling Mystics that he had discovered during last night's investigation.
But just after walking out of the door of the administrative hall, Anvis saw that the young man disguised as Claire was talking to a player girl who was also a half-elf.
The two seemed to have been talking for a while. After a moment, Claire raised her hand, brushed a restorative magic on Summer Night Firefly, and handed her a small package.
Afterwards, the player girl left on her own, and no one knew what mission she had received.
Without disturbing them, Avis took the administrative hall as the starting point, identified the direction, and quickly led Joem to the edge of the town, a relatively dilapidated urban area.
While traveling, you can clearly see the changes in the environment.
The originally smooth gravel road gradually developed more cracks and potholes.
The surrounding buildings also gradually changed from beautiful and solid stone structures to increasingly dilapidated ones, and finally turned into a mixture of rotten wooden boards and broken windows.
If it weren't for the occasional wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys of some houses, Avis would almost think that this area had been completely abandoned.
