Arnold helped Shen Xing's cousin, Joanne, kill the Indian slave and give her her mother's sword.

After saying goodbye to Joanne, he walked slowly on his way back to the hotel.

When I passed by the small bar, I saw that the lights were out inside.

At this moment, countless memories came flooding back to my heart.

He resisted the urge and didn't knock on the door of the bar.

Because he knew that Isabella was no longer in it, and she was no longer the hostess of the small bar.

Arnold stopped and looked up at the attic window.

Isabella's beautiful face appeared clearly in front of her again.

Arnold began to reminisce about the old days.

…… We used to go to school together, play hide and seek together, go fishing together, and go horseback riding together.

At that time, you were so beautiful and I was so handsome, and everyone thought that we would definitely be together when we grew up. If it weren't for the man who appeared later, Isabella would have been his wife.

I hated that man, and I even wanted to kill him secretly, but in order not to make Isabella sad, I chose to leave silently and go to the New World.

There, I became a nobody of the Divine Punishment Army, joined the most dangerous pioneer legions, and nearly died there. Although I am also a noble child, I forced myself to forget all about the past and have to start over.

I had to do it, not for Isabella, but for myself, and I desperately wanted to understand the world. All along, the world I lived in was completely cut off from the world of the common people outside, so much so that I didn't even know where the New World was, let alone a brilliant ancient civilization in the far east.

Later, I became an ensign in the Order of Divine Punishment until they called me Major General Arnold.

Suddenly one day, they came running to tell me that Isabella might have been killed.

I thought I had forgotten to forget you, I was very happy, I had a fiancée, I was planning a wedding and a honeymoon for my newlyweds, and I was going to accept an invitation from the old Earl Keane to take up the post of Governor of Saints Island in the Caribbean.

After hearing the news, I was pained to find that I had not forgotten about you, and I began to frantically gather you and all your materials.

I finally understood why you abandoned your entire family and chose to be with that man.

My whole life path was wrong, and it was a mess.

After much consideration, I resigned from the Order, and the marriage contract was also withdrawn, and from then on, I also broke away from the family and became a ranger like you.

I have read all the materials and I believe that you are still alive, that I must go and find you, and that I am eager to walk with you.

In Arcadia, I met the Witch of the Witch, who told me on tarot cards that you might be trapped in the Old Gods' Death Palace.

On the way to find the Demon Palace, I met the terrifying demigod - Achagar, it taught me a profound lesson, I was burned by it, and I lost an eye, but it was all a small thing, at least I was alive.

Isabella, are you still alive?

God above, tell me, how can I find them? I don't want the two of them to be completely forgotten and suffer secretly somewhere in the world, that would be so unfair!

Arnold was so disappointed that he resisted the urge and didn't knock on the door of the bar.

With his head down, he continued to walk slowly, and then looked up at St. Anthony's Cathedral in the distance.

The whole square was pitch black, and there was not a single starlight overhead, and it was the darkest night of the year, and there was no shadow of the church at all, as if there was no hope.

But Arnold knew that on the tower to the right of the church, there were cold eyes peeping at him.

The wind is blowing.

He had to tighten his clothes and slowly turn into the alley like a lonely old man.

Suddenly, two men in black appeared in front of him and behind him.

Arnold had long known that they were following him, so he said coldly, "An ugly-looking person like me is not like a rich man. ”

The man in front chuckled, "Don't worry, we don't look like robbers either." ”

"Then you'll have to give a reason why you're blocking my way."

"We want to know who you are."

"It's better not to know."

"Why?" The man said casually.

"Because that's going to hurt you."

"Let's make a deal." He proposed.

Arnold said coldly, "I don't make a deal with the devil. ”

"We are not the devil." The man argued.

"But you are believers in the devil."

The man said nonchalantly: "Whatever you say, I checked the registration information you left in the hotel, and you used the Mengqi · D. Ade's pseudonym, which is obviously not your real name. ”

"So what."

The man laughed, "We also secretly checked your room and found a secret." ”

"What a secret."

The man cautiously said, "You should be a follower of the Twilight Cult, worship the goddess of the hunt, and the furnishings in the room betrayed you. ”

"What's the fuss about, the Twilight Cult is a legal sect and is still a member of the Church of Light, with tens of millions of believers around the world, and the world government has not declared him a forbidden order."

The man took out a piece of paper and gestured, "But this mark is very special, we use the instrument to make an invisible mark on the table." This is supposed to be the badge of the Knights of Divine Punishment, and you should have left it on the table by accidentally getting it wet. ”

Arnold was silent.

The man said confidently: "Judging from the materials we have, it seems that it is extremely rare for the Divine Punishment Knights of the Church of Light to betray the Starlight Sect and join the Twilight Sect later, and in the last twenty or thirty years, there are less than twenty people. ”

"So what?"

"So we'll soon know who you really are."

Arnold said lightly: "You are threatening me. ”

"Sir, you have misunderstood, we cannot threaten you."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Join us, and we don't need you to leave the Twilight Cult, we just need you to support us, we have a common enemy, the sanctimonious and nasty people of the Church of Light."

Arnold said disdainfully: "It's too naïve. ”

"What's a childish law?" The man laughed.

"There is a price to be paid for being naïve."

"At what cost?"

"Die."

******

After Shen Xing and Inspector Hunter broke up.

He returned to the bar.

He was so tired that he didn't bother to wash, only washed his feet, and then went back to the attic room, and lay down directly to prepare to sleep until dawn.

When I saw the books on the shelves, I couldn't help but want to read them.

Which book to pick?

There are dozens of books to choose from.

According to common sense, read the kind of macro-level books first and avoid getting into the details.

He glanced around carefully, and finally pulled out the very thick book of "Occultism, History and Legends", and prepared to lie on the bed and read it, and then simply fall asleep while reading it.

After flipping through the table of contents, I finally decided to start with the overview, and after reading it for half an hour, I had a general idea of what the overview was talking about.

The overview records the history of civilization of the entire planet, which can be traced back to 100,000 years ago, and more than 80% of the content in it is legends, and there is no exact historical basis, that is, it is basically nonsense.

The time is roughly divided into seven narrative eras.
