Chapter 136: The Exiled
"I say, if you're interested in the theology of the Hermitage Society of the Foggy Mountains, go to their library and read it yourself, and don't bother with your research—there will be plenty of people there who will be willing to tirelessly tell you the story of the creation of all things by the gods!"
Emilian didn't tell Gu Yun about the 'woe', and the reason why she stayed away from the Misty Mountains Hermit Society and opened a potions shop here was because she couldn't talk to the witchers who preached theology.
In particular, the chapter about the creation of the gods and the "woe" was the part that made her doubt the most.
As a scientific researcher, Emilian did not intend to let the theology of the Misty Mountain Hermit Church influence her judgment.
Gu Yun was pushed out of the door by the junior apprentice of the potions shop with a question mark on his head.
In his stereotyped impression, Emily was not such a person at all.
The faithful sang of her heroic deeds, and the casualties she inflicted in the later wars were far higher than that of Amphikto, the "strongest" hero.
Therefore, in Gu Yun's cognition, Emilian should be a fanatical advocate of theology.
Since the other party had pointed out a clear path for him, he went straight to the Foggy Mountains Hermit Society.
The scene inside the library has not changed much from the last time they visited, and the greatest pleasure of most scholarly witchers is to spend their days in the library, firmly believing that knowledge will broaden their horizons, increase their wisdom, and help them create more powerful spells.
Then Gu Yun saw Qixi.
"Yo, what a coincidence."
Qixi also happened to look up and saw Gu Yun, she beckoned to Gu Yun to show her friendliness.
Today, she holds in her hand a book called "Spell Specifications and Usage".
"You still really like to read."
Soaking in the library to read whenever he had time made Gu Yun think of his sister, looking at Qixi, he seemed to be vaguely thinking of what Gu Tiantian would look like as an adult.
"No, it's just because I'm more skilled, so it's better to stay here and read a book, it's really a magical world."
Qixi smiled modestly, "It just so happened that the Scholarly Sect would provide a place for newcomers to live, so I stayed here temporarily. ”
At first, she thought that this was a medieval magical world, but she didn't expect that its borders were far wider than she imagined, in this world, where humans had not really defeated the beasts, and magical creatures called "monsters" had occupied most of the land, so that civilians had to live together in groups and under the protection of knights.
And the concept of "monsters" is not the familiar image of vampires and the like, they are more of beasts with extraordinary power in the magical world.
The existence of monsters has greatly slowed down the development of various human undertakings, and the maritime industry and animal husbandry have experienced more severe challenges than the world in which they live.
After three days of reading, her level is still maintained at level 1, but her wisdom has improved by several points, and by the way, she has made a lot of book friends.
In this day when players single-handedly fight wild monsters and farm equipment every day, 7UP is like a clear stream.
"By the way, I'm looking for a book about woe, do you know where it's placed?"
"Yes, it's in the second row of the Genesis bookshelf, I saw it yesterday."
"Thank you."
For the first time, Gu Yun learned about the benefits of reading extensively—if it weren't for Qixi, the ghost knows when he would have to find it alone.
According to Qixi's prompt, Gu Yun quickly found a book called "The Outcast".
In his time, these books were burned down along with the library, and although the believers won the final victory in the war, their ancestors led their tribes attacked the holy capital and burned it to the ground.
Emilian thinks that 'woe' doesn't exist, but Gu Yun doesn't think so.
Because the natural disasters he created appeared in another world, and he has recently felt that some of the supernatural creatures he has encountered are somewhat similar to those of this world.
Perhaps, the world in which the "woe" will eventually be exiled is the earth?
Could it be ......
The "Great Secret Treasure" mentioned by the elders did not refer to Gu Tiantian, but to the "calamity" of the exile he had suffered?
A god who is powerful and hateful to his own people may be a great help.
In this case, perhaps the power possessed by the "Calamity" is much stronger than that of the Chief Judge, after all, according to the Protoss he saw, the current Presiding Judge is not the Protoss of a thousand years ago, and the oldest Presiding Judge has fallen for various reasons.
In Gu Yun's cognition, the Inquisitor was probably the limit of the most powerful of all the enemies he had encountered.
They have abandoned all their emotions and thoughts, even their bodies, and become pure power bodies—these are the Elders' explanations to the Inquisitor, and although they have waged a long war with the Protoss, even the Elders have to temporarily choose to retreat whenever the Inquisitor comes.
It's just that Gu Yun was disappointed that "The Exiled" did not specifically mention the power of "calamity", and the main focus of the description was the innate evil power of "calamity".
The ability to fulfill all wishes.
In the book "The Exiled", the power of "evil" has no boundaries, and "all wishes" include all things in the world, even if a person wants to become a god and become a demon, whether it is good or evil, he can fulfill them one by one.
Even with people, the wishes of all living beings in this world can be heard.
Because of this, the world ushered in an extremely long dark age.
Monsters are raging, demons are dancing wildly, and to this day, the traces caused by the "disaster" have not completely faded.
In order to eliminate the chaos of this world, the people of the Woe joined forces to banish him to another world.
The story is not very long, and it ends abruptly here.
Gu Yun felt that he had grown in knowledge today.
"The Exiled" puts the blame for the monster rampant on the "woe", combined with the current situation in X City, and the news of the existence of natural disasters from Kate Chrysostom, he feels that although the book is from the hands of the enemy, there is still some truth to what it says.
The elders and village chiefs never explained the reason for the existence of monsters, and all their research on monsters was limited to which monsters were particularly dangerous and which were particularly delicious.
"Looks like you've found the answer - is it a hidden mission?"
Qixi didn't know when he finished reading "Spell Specification and Usage", and sat opposite Gu Yun and quietly observed him.
"No, it's just my personal doubt."
"Oh? It's really unseemly. ”
Qixi smiled slightly-in reality, Gu Yun didn't look like a scholar, and now this shiny bald head and the vicissitudes of life of the uncle almost wrote the four words "knight captain" on his face.
"Gu Yun! I did it! ”
As soon as Qixi's words fell, she heard An Ling's cheerful call, only to see her holding a bottle of holy oil in her hand, and rushed all the way to Gu Yun under the disgusted gaze of the other demon hunters.
