From the dark history of the Darents, Luke felt for the first time the great price that a civilization must pay to grow from nothing, from weak to strong, from being manipulated to regaining freedom.

In the same way, he also saw that behind that powerful civilization, there was actually a hidden essence of extreme inferiority, cowardice, and hypocrisy.

In particular, the Parliament, as the supreme ruling class, deliberately and secretly altered part of history to make it look absurd in order to ensure that the god who created them could not be resurrected again, and finally made the Darrants born after them permanently forget their innate shadow powers, believing from the bottom of their hearts that magic is the only one.

Only a handful of the higher-ups knew that the most powerful thing about the Darrants was not magic at all, but the shadow power that had developed to the extreme.

As the last guardian of civilization, the Shadow Guard wields this power.

"Well, after reading the history recorded by the Darents, what do you gain?"

The boy somehow came to this magically created underground building in the middle of the desert, with a relaxed smile on his face.

He didn't have to ask, but he must have gotten a lot of useful information from his captives in these days, and maybe he had even tortured some mysteries about the shadow energy.

"Not bad, but I have a small question, how can these guys ensure that the members of the Shadow Guard will obediently obey the orders of the Council, instead of directly going to the god who may be resurrected at any time, and then restore the glory of the shadow power of the theocratic era?" Luke touched his chin and asked the question he had not figured out.

You must know that since seeing the performance of the previous Shadow Guard member with his own eyes, he can clearly feel the underlying dissatisfaction in the other party's consciousness.

Needless to say, these guys with great power are not willing to remain incognito at all, and are likely to be forced.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer, because even I don't know what's going on in the minds of those sinister and cunning old fellows. You have to understand that the Darents are not a centralized social structure, but as long as they are strong enough, they will definitely be invited to the Supreme Council and obtain the right to determine the future direction of the entire civilization. The boy explained nonchalantly.

Perhaps there is no second person on the entire planet of Mocha who can silently observe the Darrants' every move with a detached eye and the perspective of a bystander.

As the saying goes, "the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear", when a person fully adapts to and blends into the surrounding environment, he cannot really realize what those accustomed changes really mean.

But if there is an outsider who intrudes, he will immediately feel these subtle changes, and then analyze and deduce from another angle.

There is no doubt that for the Darent civilization, the boy is this intruder outsider.

Although many old foxes have tried to instill some unique outlook on life and values from an early age, he has not been affected in the slightest, let alone abandoned himself and chose to truly integrate into it.

Because giving up independent thinking and integrating into the group is one of the most stupid behaviors, there is no one.

In contrast, Luke's starting point was far less high than that of his own brother, and he frowned and muttered to himself: "It doesn't sound bad to use power as a ticket to the Game of Thrones, and to maintain the stability of rule by co-opting the vast majority of the strong people in the race." It is no wonder that in such a long history, the Darents have never had a single civil strife or riot, and no one has threatened the absolute dominance of Parliament. ”

Ever since the theocratic era, the ruling class of the Darents has been preaching the concept of absolute sanity, which means that the more a life abandons the distractions of emotions, the more it can evolve in a higher direction. So the vast majority of Darrants love order and hate chaos. But they simply don't understand that emotions are one of the most important signs of higher life, whether it's happiness, sadness, anger, or greed and longing that come from the instinct of life. Well, that's all for the Darrants, and I'm going to share some interesting new discoveries with you......"

As the last word blurted out, the boy opened the metal box that he had been holding in his hand.

Moment!

The heart, composed entirely of black unidentified substance, was once again revealed.

It's just that unlike last time, it's no longer beating, and it feels very dangerous and weird.

"What did you find?" Luke's eyes twinkled with curiosity.

"A trick like primitive witchcraft. Do you remember the last time you dispersed the black substance?" the boy asked with a smirk.

Luke nodded thoughtlessly, "Of course! there's nothing there, it's empty." ”

"No, it's not empty, but the heart has been dug out and placed in another place, a place where you can escape death—the Dark Lake. In other words, the essence of each member of the Black Order has never left the place where he was born. And the black shadow we see is nothing more than a projection of their consciousness, a doppelganger composed of energy. The boy fiddled with his black heart and shared his research with great interest.

"Clones, so they know the whole process now?" Luke suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis when he heard the news.

After all, the ability of the two to successfully solve a powerful enemy is based on intelligence asymmetry.

If every member of the Shadow Guard knew their true strength, they would have acted immediately instead of choosing to wait and see.

"Not so fast! If I'm right, until this doppelganger is completely destroyed, his consciousness will not be able to return to his own body and be free. The boy shrugged his shoulders, not looking nervous at all, and even had a frenzied glow in his pupils.

Luke, who was keenly aware of this, immediately had a bad premonition, and cautiously tentatively asked, "You are not planning to infiltrate the home planet of the Darrants, right?"

"Why not? Don't you want to see with your own eyes the dark lake that gave birth to the Darents? You know, I'm curious. In any case, the Darrant civilization is a highly developed magical civilization, and it is a bit unreasonable for such a civilization to be afraid of the place where it was born. I hope to use my own eyes to confirm the dark lake and the things they fear the most......"
