Gu Changqing listened without responding to Marshal Morris's words about the arrival of these strange creatures, while following in his footsteps through the quiet passage.
Da da da
The sound of their footsteps was particularly noticeable in the passage, but unfortunately, apart from the two of them, there was no other life in the place.
However, Gu Changqing noticed that the pitch-black stone wall also carried a trace of eerie aura. It was likely a wall created by the Imperial Research Institute to ward off eerie creatures.
Unfortunately, based on his observation, this wall could probably only keep out some low-level monsters; high-level monsters could easily destroy this huge and thick wall without much effort.
Seeing that Gu Changqing did not answer, Marshal Maurice assumed that he was engrossed in the story he was telling, and continued with renewed enthusiasm:
"And twenty years after the arrival of the strange creatures, humanity also formed three major forces to resist the strange creatures with the power of these beneficial strange creatures and those three people."
"The northern part of the continent is occupied by a collection of strange entities, while in the southern part of the continent, in addition to the three major human powers, there are also many powerful strange creatures and some remnants of humans scattered across a lot of territory."
"In the thirty years that followed, in addition to resisting the invasion of the Black Dragon in the north, the Empire and the other two major human powers would send many people to explore the unoccupied territories in the south, or to conquer the territories of humans or monsters."
"Among the three major human forces, the strongest in terms of overall strength is the Community of Human Destiny, the largest in terms of territory and population is the Empire, and the strongest in terms of individual strength is the Director of the Bureau of Mystery Investigation. It is said that the Director alone can contend with the leaders of the other two major forces."
Marshal Maurice did not deliberately exaggerate the empire's strength. At this moment, he was like an outsider, objectively and truthfully recounting the stories and information of various forces and leaders.
"And just a few months ago, that strange director of the investigation bureau broke into the palace occupied by the black dragon in order to save a woman."
"Faced with the black dragon that was the source of everything, and those powerful monsters that submitted to the black dragon, the director of the Bureau of Mysterious Investigation actually brought the woman out after a three-day and three-night battle, covered in wounds."
"Along the way, there were many ambushes and traps set by various forces, but the director of the Bureau of Mystery Investigation managed to bring the woman safely into the Bureau's territory all by himself."
"According to the Empire's spies who are observing this matter, the director's strength is no longer human. Even if the entire Empire's S-class supernatural squad were sent to fight him head-on, they would probably be wiped out by this man."
"The woman who was rescued by the director of the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations through all means was found by the Empire to be an orphan and had no relation to him. Despite the Empire's best efforts to investigate, they could not find out why he would go to such great lengths to save her."
"Moreover, in order to cover his entry into the palace, one of the two deputy directors of the Bureau of Mystery Investigation was killed and the other seriously injured, while more than half of his top investigators were killed or wounded."
While pondering the information he already possessed, Gu Changqing listened to Marshal Morris's story about the director of the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations.
In his opinion, the fact that this strange director of the investigation bureau saved the woman meant that she was very important to him, and this importance was definitely not the kind of importance that comes from friendship, family, or love.
As the leader who created such a large power, and whose strength can be ranked among the top three in the Solo continent.
I would never act like this because of my own feelings, and I would never pay such a high price for an insignificant woman.
Moreover, Gu Changqing knew that the Special Investigator of the Bureau of Mystery Investigation was equivalent to the S-class Mystery Squad of the Empire, and the entire Empire's S-class Mystery Squad consisted of only a little over a hundred people.
As the Bureau of Mysterious Investigations, which has the fewest personnel and the smallest territory among the three major forces, the number of its Special Investigators is definitely less than that of the Empire.
They lost nearly half of their high-end combat power in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the fact that this woman was very important to the Bureau of the Mysterious Investigation and that she was irreplaceable to the entire continent, they would have lost even more.
After considering the matter, Gu Changqing concluded that only the following possibilities exist:
First, this woman possesses the skills to deal with the Black Dragon, capable of severely injuring or even killing it.
Second, this woman may be immune to or unharmed by the supernatural, because according to Marshal Morris, the woman was taken to the supernatural's headquarters by the black dragon, and was not infected or killed, but was taken out unharmed by the director of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau. Therefore, this inference is very likely.
Third, this woman herself is a strange creature, and a strange creature that is beneficial to humans, and is no less powerful than the Black Dragon. This also explains why this woman was brought out of the palace unharmed after entering it, because the Black Dragon had no means to deal with her.
Just as Gu Changqing was pondering, Marshal Morris led him to the end of the passage.
A huge red gate, about 100 meters high, came into view.
The door is carved with all sorts of strange creatures and humans, and it exudes a sacred yet eerie aura. These two conflicting auras appear simultaneously on this giant door.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the left side exudes a sacred aura, while the right side exudes an eerie aura.
Marshal Morris, who was also looking at the massive gate, spoke to Gu Changqing, who was staring at it as well:
"Sir, this giant gate is also a strange object that descended from those dark clouds, but it is neither harmful nor beneficial."
To the empire, this colossal gate, aside from its immense size, only differed in the two different auras it emitted; it served no other purpose. Even an ordinary person could easily leave a mark on it with a sword.
As he spoke, Marshal Maurice gently placed his palm on the giant door.
As Marshal Maurice's palm touched the giant gate, the two gates, each emanating a different aura, slowly moved to the sides.
Looking at the moving giant gate, Gu Changqing lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.
In a flash, as if he had thought of something, he raised his head again, his eyes fixed on the two large doors that had been completely embedded in the stone wall.
The two auras emanating from the gate gradually weakened as they disappeared into the stone wall, as perceived by Gu Changqing.
