Chapter 86: Past Events



The clown said after a while:

"Yes, the cost of exploring the Black Priest's memory... is very high. We must constantly change the formula of the drug that stimulates it to avoid the same content. However, everything is difficult at the beginning. As we explore the habits of this Sorrow Grass monster, we have also found some necessary rules. The actual cost is actually decreasing."

But at this time, Mixia coughed lightly, attracting all eyes, and then slowly said:

"It doesn't matter. The Black Priest's memory is a treasure trove, not to mention that it is presented in such an intuitive way. In other words, as long as useful information is obtained, the degree of restoration will be extremely high. Don't forget that the Black Priest himself is also a very terrifying strong man. During the rise of the Delos Empire, he was able to continue to flee and live to be over a hundred years old. The force that the Delos Empire could dispatch at that time should also be very powerful. So... Clown, if you have any needs, just report to me directly and I will approve it."

The clown finally showed a look of joy on his face. He looked at the expressionless people beside him and sneered:

"Yes, sir! And what I want to say is that our energy is not just focused on the diary of the black priest. In fact, we have made breakthrough progress in other aspects of the investigation. The resources consumed in this are not wasted in vain. Now we have obtained valuable information."

After the clown finished speaking, he raised his hand to signal. He had already been in the limelight enough at this moment, so of course he had to restrain himself and give the people below more room to perform. Then, naturally, a person with an excited face came up to report:

"We have searched a lot of data and confirmed that a minor earthquake occurred in Cantwin 20 years ago. This earthquake only collapsed a dozen dilapidated houses. The number of deaths was not as many as the number of people stabbed to death every day. However, since that record, the peace of Cantwin has been broken, and many supernatural rumors have begun to occur since then."

"Eight years ago, there was another earthquake. The magnitude of this earthquake was also small, but the city was once again experiencing a high incidence of supernatural events. The symbolic event this time was the appearance of a hexagram drawn in blood. Almost everyone who got close would have their blood sucked dry. In the end, a large number of clergy were invited to quell the disaster."

"Three years ago, the Qingbala River passing through Cantwin mysteriously stopped flowing, and a huge black hole appeared on the riverside, from which a large number of terrifying giant moths flew out. There were strange marks on the wings of the giant moths, like twisted skulls. These giant moths would burn quickly in the sun, and ordinary people would go crazy and die if they smelled the powder falling from the wings of the giant moths. In the same year, the number of ghost swordsmen born in Cantwin skyrocketed, from 137 to 1,342! Since then, the number of new ghost swordsmen that appeared every year has exceeded 1,000! This speed of giving birth to ghost swordsmen is more than seven times that of other regions!"

"Then at the beginning of this year, a place like Cantwin suddenly experienced polar night. There was no sunlight for three consecutive days, and then the rain turned black and had an unpleasant smell. Plagues began to spread in several places in a small area. Since then, a strange monster called the Corpse Whisperer began to appear. Because we have not collected any intelligence about this monster, we cannot give any specific information. The only thing we can determine is that this thing is disgusting. It uses corpses as food, weapons, and toys!"

After hearing the above, Mixia pondered and said:

"The time interval between these strange events was initially twelve years, then five years, and then two years... The time interval is getting shorter and shorter. Does that mean that the seal that the empire found many powerful people to bless is getting weaker and weaker?"

The clown said:

"That's true."

The reporter continued:

"At the same time, we have obtained a lot of useful information from the Black Priest's memory. Back then, he and the White Priest did enter the sealed land, but the two did not enter together, but acted separately."

"What?" As soon as this news came out, the whole audience was shocked again. Because if this was true, then it would almost confirm one thing, that the two great priests of black and white were actually at odds with each other, and could not cooperate sincerely. Even when they joined forces to open a passage, they could not trust each other.

Once this matter was confirmed, there was no doubt that the strength of these two people would continue to increase to a higher level, because they were both thorns in the side of the empire, and the empire was in a period of thriving development at that time, and the power brought by suppressing the two people with all its strength could be imagined.

Under the all-out siege of the huge Delos Empire, it seemed that even a powerful man like Feng Lin could only walk with his head down. However, the two great priests, Black and White, did not join forces in the face of such a powerful enemy, but instead engaged in internal consumption. Such strength and behavior are completely beyond description in words.

Of course, this is good news for the Joker, because the stronger the Black Priest is, the greater the value of the Black Priest's diary in his hand!

The reporter paused before continuing:

"Forty-eight years after the fall of the Perrus Empire, many areas on the continent suffered from an unprecedented drought. At the same time, some uprisings and conflicts occurred in the Delos Empire. In the same year, the second emperor of the empire, Heron Baden II, died, and his cousin, Leon Heinrich I, ascended the throne. You know, Emperor Heron Baden had sixteen sons, but in the end it was Leon Heinrich who ascended the throne. There is no need to say more about the bloody storm... Although these things could not affect the ruling foundation of the empire, they caused many loopholes in the empire's huge iron curtain rule."

"The Black Priest and the White Priest seized this opportunity and came to Cantwin. With the help of their subordinates, they disguised their identities and finally entered the place where the great priest Jiger fell in different ways. However, it is somewhat dramatic that although the Black Priest and the White Priest acted separately, they should have a certain cooperative relationship. So we have actually obtained a lot of important clues about the White Priest's entry into the fallen place, but the key records of the Black Priest himself have not been deciphered."

Mixia shrugged her shoulders at the reporter's statement. After all, it was all a matter of luck.

It is certain that this special "diary" must record the process of the Black Priest entering the Fallen Land. However, for now, the way to obtain information depends entirely on luck. The only thing the Zero (ZERO) organization can do is to keep spending money and configure expensive reagents to inject into the ice holes to stimulate the giant Undead Sorrow Grass. What information the latter can feedback is completely random. It is possible that there are three consecutive memories of the Black Priest going to the toilet... This is a diary. Everyone knows the comfort of having a hearty bowel movement after being constipated for a few days. What's so strange about recording it in a diary?

However, it is obvious that the people in the ZERO organization are not short of money, nor are they short of patience, so it is only a matter of time before the method for the Black Priest to enter the Fallen Land is discovered. Therefore, even those who intend to trip up Moriarty have nothing to say at this time.

At this time, the man who was sitting next to Mixia and was covered in steel armor suddenly said:

"So what clue did you get for the White Priest to enter the Fallen Land?"

The reporter said:

"The White Priest had been planning this long ago. Even the believers he chose had entered the city hall of Cantwin at that time and served as the Archon's deputies. There used to be a large lake in the north of Cantwin. This lake was called Lake Tokmak, which was rich in aquatic products. However, during the Doomsday War, this lake was also hit by the terrifying power of the fall of the High Priest Jiger, and it dried up quickly in a short period of time."

"In this area, water resources are an irreplaceable wealth. Therefore, in the years since Lake Tokmak dried up, although Cantwin is still a key transportation hub, it has declined greatly. Merchants and travelers have changed their routes. At this time, the insider stood up and told the governor that he had found a group of skilled craftsmen who had mastered the lost technology of the elves and could restore Lake Tokmak to its clear and rippling appearance."

"After hearing the good news, the consul readily agreed. Then this group of skilled craftsmen came to the north of Cantwin. After some exploration, they said it was a big project and began to recruit people. After recruiting people, they claimed to have found the location of the spring and began to dig at the dried-up part of Lake Tokmak. They used the large amount of shells and soil they dug to build a very special road, which is now the Shell Avenue of Cantwin."

"At the same time, these people recruited a large number of workers who also needed a place to live, so they built rows of stone buildings on both sides of Shell Avenue. Both Shell Avenue and the stone buildings were actually model projects used to demonstrate their skills and convince the governors. Therefore, both Shell Avenue and the red stone buildings are of very good quality and are still being used by the Cantwin Municipal Government."

At this time, Mixia smiled and said:

"I've been to Shell Avenue. It does have a very unique charm. Millions of shells are inlaid on the neat and straight road. Walking on it in the early morning or evening, watching the sunrise or sunset, it is very romantic. I just know that the buildings on both sides of the avenue are called Red Stone Buildings. It can be seen that the White Priest is very charismatic. He actually found such a large group of people to carry out his plan!"
