Question mark, question mark, question mark.

Standing in front of the gods' questions is like standing on the edge of the abyss, looking at the bottomless darkness, vaguely seeing the scene on the edge of the cliff, but there are many, many more that are all shrouded in darkness, and the knowledge that I am proud of becomes a joke in an instant.

But Hodden was more curious, if he could reach the height of a level 10 psionics and touch the top of omniscient omnipotence, would he be able to peek into the secrets of gods/evil gods?

Returning to the creature described on the three pages of the diary for a moment, is that all they have to know? Is that creature related to what Nightingale saw, or is it different? If so, can the professional killer control the creature? But why hasn't the professional killer been affected? Does the organization behind the scenes have the means to tame the creature?

Or is it that Nightingale and Baron Valéry and others see the same thing?

The thoughts in Holden's mind spread out like this, starting with one question, leading to more, and then spreading out into a network of truth-seeking.

But before Hoden could continue to ask, Adlina generously shared her knowledge, "I read it in a journal of the places of the Kag Empire. ”

The Karg Empire? Not the Leia Empire?

"In a border town called Ection, Starlight once appeared, and in the end all thirty-six inhabitants of the entire town went to destruction, but no one knew what happened, it seemed that everything happened quietly, except for the next town to see the brilliant colors that stained the whole sky red. ”

Obviously, the story that Adlina knew was rudimentary and plain, without much content, but Hodden captured a message.

"Ectian?" said Holden, frowning slightly, feeling that he had heard the name somewhere.

"The explosion of the Grey Cliffs. Adlina was not surprised at all, and threw it directly, "At that time, there was a plague in five small towns, including Ectian. However, the explosion of the Grey Cliffs was fifteen years ago, but the story I read was a long, long time ago. ”

"Poor Ection, who has not yet fully recovered from one destruction, and then suffered a second destruction, and has not been able to recover until now, and I have heard that Ectian is now an empty city, and no one wants to go there to start a life. ”

Adlina's explanation made Horden stunned-

"Explosion of the Grey Cliffs"!

He really didn't expect it to be the "Grey Cliff Explosion" at all, because he hadn't investigated and learned about that incident at all, and Nair hadn't mentioned it, and it felt a little strange to hear about the Grey Cliff Explosion on a completely unexpected occasion at this time, but it was an event full of mysteries.

Wait, is there any connection between "Grey Cliff Explosion" and the evil gods?

The abyss seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and when you look at the abyss, the abyss is also looking at you, and that creepy unknown firmly grasps the heart.

But the amount of information is a bit overwhelming, and Hodden catches another clue, "No, it's not 'Greycliff Explosion', I saw it in Mattigan Stinson's book 'Looking ...... from Folk Potions Remedies'. Inspiration, grabbed, Hadden nodded quickly, "yes, I'm pretty sure so." ”

Martigan Stinson!

"Who?" said Adriana, confused.

Hodden reminded, "I remember Professor Seneca volunteering to keep me after class, and then you were a little worried about whether I had some kind of conflict with the professor, and that was the time when Professor Seneca lent me a book, written by Mattigan Stimson, who was hailed as a Potions genius, and I saw it in that book." ”

"Oh. Adlina was not able to understand Holden's agitation:

There is nothing unusual about similar coincidences, one is a legend of an evil god, the other is a potions genius, and there is no connection between the two.

"Ade, did the star you just mention happen to Ection, sixty years ago?" asked Holden.

Adriana looked a little confused, "No, I'm not sure, sixty years ago, seventy years ago, eighty years ago, uh, I don't remember any details of time mentioned in that book, but it could also be that my memories of these are blurred and I didn't pay attention when I read them, what's wrong?"

When reading a book, who notices these useless details?

Hoden's eyebrows were tightly tangled, and in the dark, he always felt that he had found something, but there was still a core clue missing, "In another folk biography by Mattigan Stinson, it is speculated that the potions genius disappeared in Ectien, sixty-three years ago. ”

"What? Do you doubt that this genius also died in that starry fall?"

Hodden didn't nod or shake his head, "According to that folk biography, Mattigan Stinson is researching the elixir of immortality, and he is sure that he can configure, and it will be a breakthrough that will upend the entire continent, and may even lead us to a whole new world." ”

"Mathigan traveled to Ectionian because he had received a credible clue that Ectional was hiding the key secret of the Elixir of Immortality Magic. ”

But when he arrived in Ection, the locals told him that there was no potion at all, and that the rumor was related to a local psionic circle, which was said to be a psionic circle left by an evil god, and that if you could unlock the secret of the circle, you could get the secret of immortality. ”

Horden's words made Adlina ponder as well, "Wait, do you mean the elixir of immortality? Evil gods and immortals?

Evil spirits often represent destruction and death, as well as darkness, and immortality is the continuation of life over death, and the two cannot be confused, and it is difficult to imagine a connection between the two.

Hodden also thought it was a little ridiculous, "However, I have discussed this with Professor Seneca, because the biography is based on a collection of legends, and there is a question mark over whether it is worth believing, but Professor Seneca has studied the life of this genius, and he also thinks that Ektian is where Mattigan Stinson was last seen." ”

Now Adlina can finally vaguely understand Holden's shock and consternation, "You mean, if the timeline of Matigan's disappearance and the destruction of the town of Aktian can be combined, then it may be related to the evil god?"

"And, it's worth noting that when Matigan arrived in Ection, the townsfolk told him that the legends were associated with a psionic circle, and that this psionic circle was associated with evil gods. Is it all just a coincidence?" added Hodden.

Adlina opened her mouth slightly, and did not speak, but the meaning could not be clearer:

How could it be a coincidence?
