Chapter 182 Hidden Secret Notes
Avis stopped in front of a house that looked as bad as the others here.
The original waterproof coating has peeled off, a rusty lock hangs on the door, the dilapidated walls are full of tiny cracks that allow air to leak in, and you can even see the pitch-black interior.
On the wall next to the door, a wooden board was nailed to the wall with rusty nails, and someone had used a blunt knife to carve a line of crooked words on it.

"Sir Joem, I'm in trouble."
After confirming the location, Avis gently stepped aside and asked the Wind Knight Joem to investigate and check whether there was any hidden danger in the room.
This was the residence of one of the pagans, where he hid himself, while the other lived next to him.
Joem nodded calmly and walked to the door. The powerful eighth-level spiritual power burst out of his body, like an invisible storm, sweeping across the entire dilapidated house in an instant.
Different from the large-scale and rough mental detection on the first day, this time it is a small-scale and precise detection. Even if there are some highly hidden things, they will be exposed under such detection.
In the perception of spiritual power, the indoor environment is ordinary. Apart from a weak magical reaction, there is no hidden high-energy magic source.
"There is a magic trap, but it poses no threat to us, Lord Anvis."
Retracting his mental strength, Joem turned to Anvis.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Avis nodded.
Hearing this, Joem casually opened the broken lock and opened the dilapidated building that was more like a shed than a house, and entered the room before Anvis.
A ball of flame with a slightly black and green tint suddenly rose up, but before it could get close to Joem's body, it was too powerful to extinguish.
Without any other changes happening, Avis also stepped into it.
As soon as he entered the door, a pungent, almost foul smell similar to that of a rotting corpse hit him in the face, which immediately made Avis activate the air purification field.
Then, he simply looked around.
The interior was simply furnished, with a wooden wardrobe badly infested with insects, a wooden bed with marks from rodents, and old tables and chairs that were completely inappropriate in size.
Everything can only be described as tattered.
Avis extended his mental power and roughly searched the items here.
Sadly, nothing of value was left.
Leaving this house, Anvis went to another one next to it.
Unlike the first house, the house of the other pagan had an old desk with drawers that was picked up from somewhere.
After a brief search, something that looked like a notebook caught Avis' attention.
The notebook was hidden in a locked drawer on the desk, and the lock of the drawer was also set with a magic trap.
Of course, just like the first trap, this was of no use to Avis and the other two.
This notebook is bound with animal leather paper and is stained with the same evil alien power as the pendant. The content is incomplete, and the last part was burned by some unknown force.
After checking whether there were any harmful effects hidden, Avis opened the leather cover.
On the title page with slightly blackened and carbonized edges, a line of slightly frantic sentences caught the eye.
"When the truth comes back to this world, the primordial moon will take us home—"
The handwriting was dark red, with a faint smell of rust, as if it was written in some kind of blood.
Unlike the title page, the entire text was written in ordinary ink, and the content was a very scattered record of the pagan's daily life, interspersed with long sections of grammatically incorrect and meaningless prayers.
However, if you look carefully, you can still find some information that you can understand.
'Another day, another day, no end, no rest, just like the wheel that never stops turning. But this long wait is finally coming to an end...'
'The day of the gathering is coming, still in the cold ruins of the Mesegica Wasteland. Is this the third to last, or the second? I can't remember... but it doesn't matter. The time is coming.'
'The ragged shell is no longer necessary, ah ah, no longer necessary!'
'The pain subsided, my soul was burning, and reflected in the rising phosphorescence... I saw...'
At this point, the notes came to an abrupt end, and the rest was left with only darkness.
Mesegica Wasteland? The time is coming? Staring at the black cover of the notebook, Avis closed it silently and recalled the topographical information of the island.
The Mesagica Desert is a barren rocky wilderness seldom visited by humans, located at the foot of the ancient mountains on the north side of the island.
The Earth Dragon has awakened many times in history, but none of them caused major changes to the terrain.
There, the concentration of the cursed force field is close to that of the highest ancient mountains. The environment is almost barren, but there are many ancient ruins left by the ancestors of unknown islands.
As a mysterious organization that exudes a sense of evil from beginning to end, it does seem to make sense that the Moon Calling Cult would choose that place as their gathering place.
And this notebook itself can be used as a medium for prophecy to help Avis find the specific location of the ruins.
It might be difficult to directly predict where those pagans would gather.
But if we only predict the locations that the person who owns this notebook has been to, there should be no problem.
Anvis put away the notes and decided not to stay here any longer.
When I walked out of the dilapidated shack, the sun was already high in the foggy, pale sky.
Avis could sense that in the surrounding equally dilapidated houses, there were many furtive eyes hidden in the darkness, quietly watching the two unfamiliar faces with some incomprehensible meaning.
Tightly fastened doors and leaky walls tried in vain to keep their secret.
At all times, the residents of ghettos are always very xenophobic.
When Avis was about to leave the slum, he saw the familiar Sexy Night Butterfly again, who wanted to show him the special room services.
At this time, she was wearing a red tight miniskirt that was slightly old but still showed off her seductive curves well, and high heels of the same color.
Two brown-haired men with dirty clothes and bare bronze strong arms walked beside her, making obscene jokes from time to time.
So, that was probably how she knew where those pagans lived.
Looking at the three people walking deeper into the slums, Avis shook his head and turned away.
Now that I have collected enough information, it's time to truly experience the hospitality of this island.
The remains of the Moon-Calling Cult's gatherings, the caves where the Cult held sacrifices, the Heart of Amis mine deep beneath the mountains, and the blessing of the Temple of Rai.
First, we will prioritize exploring the seal in the cave needed for the "Secret Book of the Old Days", and we will discuss the origins of the two resources later.
Besides, the missing Evan may have left traces in the cave .
