Lingering gore and slime, 24-hour non-stop moaning/moaning and screaming, inescapable hunger and fear, deep in the unknown......

Hoden felt as if he was pushing open a door, full of evil and darkness, and that things were far beyond his comprehension and control, and that the creepy images had completely shattered his cognitive system, and the level of weirdness had risen to a whole new level.

A spirit!

Chilling, Horden shuddered, always feeling that there seemed to be a line of sight behind him spying on him, but when he turned around, it was a quiet and comfortable library, without any movement, even if Horden spread the sensing power, the psionic sensing instantly opened, and spread throughout the library, there was still no gain.

It's purely an intellectual autosuggestion.

That's how it should be.

After a careful search, Hoden turned around and retracted the psionic net, his gaze falling on the three pages of the diary in front of him again.

This was far more terrifying than the fragments of Adelina's diary, and it seemed that Hoden had finally opened the door to the dark world of the Norsnes continent, but after a brief wavering, Hoden's mood quickly calmed down, and not only was he not afraid, but his curiosity was also surging with enthusiasm.

The unknown is a sign of danger, but it also a sign of adventure – an unknown world that is different from Earth, which is indeed very attractive and tempting.

After chewing carefully, Hoden can also understand Casca's thoughts, not because there is anything in common between Nightingale, Isa, Baron Valéry and others, but because they can see the shadow of the evil god behind the danger they encounter, although they are not 100% sure of the situation, they can still feel the invisible hand in the underworld, which also touched Casca's intuition, which led to today's unexpected move.

Baron Valéry's case may or may not be related to what Holden is investigating, but it certainly provides Holden with another perspective.

Thinking of this, Hoden realized that maybe he could ask for more help-

Not the help to solve the case, but the help to fill in the knowledge framework.

As soon as he said and did, Hoden put away the things on the table, put today's homework aside for the time being, and then got up and left the main library of the library, and took a step in the direction of the annex.

Hodden didn't immediately roll out the psionic sensor network to "find people", not because he couldn't, but because it wasn't necessary - not to mention, the library was a treasure trove, and all the answers were hidden in this vast sea of books.

Some questions can be answered by asking the right object, but some questions still need to be found in the words that have been refined and precipitated by time—because even the same book can be distilled in different objects in the reading.

It's like Adlina's diary scraps, what she sees is not the same as what Hodden reads, and she doesn't interpret it the same.

Walking through the bookshelves, Hodden found some books related to the legends and myths of the Chaos Chronicle, which he prepared to read as a book like "Strange Tales from the Past".

Within a half-year of arriving on the continent of Norsnes, Holden had become a regular visitor to the Iwabuchi Library and the Secepest College Library, with a reading list that included regular reference readings, as well as countless wild histories and legends.

Similarly, there are many authors of creation and mythology in the Norsnes continent, and the stories they write are also circulated among the people, including many "mythological stories", "fantasy", "alternate science fiction", etc., in these words with the imagination spreading its wings, but some fragmented rumors can be captured.

Obviously, beyond what people know, there is a wider and wider world hidden -

This is not unusual.

According to legend, at the same time as the birth of the male god Umani and the male god of Tamqi, four other gods appeared, who are the living specimens of the origin of the entire universe, and then the male god of Umani and the male god of Tamqi joined forces to create the five goddesses, and the other four gods also joined forces to create the seven goddesses, and they formed two camps, cooperating with each other but-for-tat.

The entire Chaos Era presents the shining brilliance and splendor of the gods, which is also known as the "Age of the Gods", until the fall of the gods began to appear, and countless battles took place between the two camps, large and small, and finally the camp of gods led by the male god of Umani and the male god of Tamqi successfully won, and sealed the camp led by the other four gods.

However, unfortunately, the victorious Umani and Tanmuzi gods also suffered heavy losses, and landslides and collapses began one after another, and the fall of the gods also drew a vigorous end to the Chaos Era, after which the Cretaceous Period officially appeared on the stage.

History is always written by the victors.

In the annals of the Chaos Era, the victorious faction of the Umani and the Tamqi is referred to as the "Righteous God", while the defeated camp of the Four Great Gods is called the "Outer God", the latter of whom is also described as a troublemaker who tries to disrupt the world order, and the Righteous God stops them.

However, with the advancement of time, history has undergone many subversions and revisions, and the annals of the Chaos Era have gradually been annihilated in the long river of time, the outer gods have been slowly forgotten, and only the existing seven gods are left on the Norsnes continent, and the name of "righteous god" has been completely abandoned.

After entering the new martial arts, the "outer gods" have completely disappeared from the official annals, and only sporadically in some folk hand-down scripts can be seen in clues, but these "no unified name" gods often represent evil, fear, and disorder, and play the role of the villain of the story, so the title of "evil god" slowly gathered.

In the Empire of Leia, about two hundred and thirty years ago, Troy III did not like such a title very much, "evil god", which seemed to indicate darkness and evil, so he further eliminated the existence of related legends from various channels, and finally, the legend about evil gods disappeared in pieces.

Now, only in some scripts, legends, and myths, occasionally scan some ancient secrets that have been inadvertently leaked, and in addition, there are stories passed down from mouth to mouth, and when the old man tells it to his children, it always has some mysterious color.

Just like Adelina did.

Of course, the same is true for Horden to read these myths of the Chaos Era, which are incomplete, and it is difficult to make an accurate judgment between the true and the false, which are the truth, which are legends, and which are fictional imaginations, and occasionally can see one or two unfamiliar names, and find those fragments of information that fall from the cracks of his fingers, and then reluctantly piece together a vague outline-

But there is no way to know if his guess is correct. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
