Chapter 159: Cause and Effect IX

"What exactly is ...... Nightmares? ”

In the darkness of the Nightmare ......, Elver Yeez Leonard looked at the Owl with a look of unease mixed with surprise. Fang Yu made a little trick here, he didn't say the shadow man, but followed the statement of Anrothor's nightmare creature, but he didn't expect it to work.

Elver Yeez Leonard said with some difficulty, "I didn't expect you to even know this...... The intelligence underestimates you, and they think they are playing you in the palm of their hand, and the Chosen ones who have not done enough are ......"

He looked at Fang Yu and his party with some horror: "I didn't mean you ......"

Fang Yu shook his head indifferently, how could he care about this with the other party.

Elver-Yeez-Leonard breathed a sigh of relief, "The Nightmare were born in the Nightmare Realm, which is a nightmarish world, like a reflection of our world, but without the four elements of wind, water, fire, and earth, and without light, only the existence of endless darkness, where Starlight has degenerated into another form, so life ceases to exist, and only a scorched earth of death remains......"

"Nightmare?" Momiji looked at each other a little suspiciously, she had never heard such a term.

"But if it really exists in a world that is a reflection of Aitalia, how can the world be ignorant?" Alyssa also stared at the Patriarch of the Diocese of Altoria with a warning gaze, "Don't try to lie to us, the Elect has summed up a great deal of information in half a century, and you should know that we are thousands of times more efficient at summarizing information and materials than yours. A world reflected in Aitalia is not a small concept, but I have never seen anyone discuss it. ”

"That's because you don't usually use that term......" Elver-Yeez-Leonard glanced at Fang Ou, who was actually very strange, "...... Just as you use the term 'Shadow Man' more often, the Nightmare Realm has a more well-known name, and that is...... Scourge. ”

"What, Scourge!?" A few people almost let out a low breath.

Elver Yaz Leonard secretly watched the performance of several people, remained silent, and nodded, "Yes, Scourge. Like the reflection of Aitalia, there is not one, but many. Lords of the strong will......" he paused and changed his words, "Dark saints, reign over these worlds...... The Scorching Hell of Terratuk is the world of the god of wrath and destruction, Faram Echis, the first scourge, Black Flame.

The second scourge, the Dreadland of Moyadimak, is dominated by two Dark Sanctuary, the dragon god Owenloth...... and the god of calamity, verdant...... Your name for the Scourge comes from the latter. ”

"So the distance between Aitalia and the Scourge Star repeats itself, and every time it approaches a point in time, the two worlds will reach the closest distance," Fang Yu said quietly, "Whenever this happens, the passage between the two worlds will open?" ”

Elver Yaz Leonard gave him a complicated look: "You guessed it right, that's exactly why the Evil Star came. ”

"Ed, how do you know ......" Momiji asked Fang Yu in a whisper.

Fang Yu shook his head slightly, he had experienced so many things, and the clues they had were enough to deduce this, it was just a lot of lost information, which were gradually connected together.

There's nothing bad to say, it's just that he doesn't want to reveal too much in front of the patriarch of this Crowclaw Temple, and he only plans to find another time to talk to Momiji and the others.

"And what about the Third Calamity?" Sand Night asked in a low voice, in the darkness.

"The third scourge," Elver Yez Leonard hesitated, "...... We know this name from our dreams, the great being who imbues us with its presence, we don't yet know who its master is, it only gives us a clear sign in the oracle, it is a picture...... Floating on the dark sea, a blood-red moon. ”

"Blood Moon," the glow of the gray illumination crystal stretched down the seemingly endless staircase, and Momiji stepped on the shadow and took a few steps forward, turning back to look at the people, "I have indeed heard of such a theory, about the origin of the evil star, but there are different opinions. The oldest records come from the Abyssal Scroll, which contains a god of twisting, death, monsters, and the end, symbolized by the bleeding moon, the saint of all saintsβ€”but the name of the dark saint is never recorded in the ancient books. ”

"I see," Blackcock snapped his fingers at Grey Whistle, "I don't know much about the First Calamity, but the Scourge of Essorin happened a thousand years ago, and when the greenery fell, mortals and elves fought against the invasion of dragons and giants for centuries. The giants and dragons are the families of Verdant and Owenloth, so the Shadow Man ...... The 'Nightmare Creature Creatures' that Mr. Ed calls are the rulers of the Third Calamity, the family of the Dark Saints, who follow them when the forces of darkness return. ”

Elver-Yeez-Leonard was about to nod, but the Fang Plover on the side looked at him and replied, "I'm afraid not." ”

Fang Yuan's gaze fell on the former's body like a knife, and he had already figured out the origin of Tang De's grandfather, the wanderer.

The other party was probably no longer a member of the Gross family, but just a puppet controlled by the Shadowman, and he thought of the armor that Miss Atira and Azure had found in the Catacombs of Dorifin, presumably long before the Third Calamity arrived, and even at the time of the Ethelin Calamity, the Shadowmen had already laid out their plans in Aitalia.

Elver Yeez Leonard opened his mouth.

He deliberately concealed it, but in the end he had to change his words: "Yes, the third evil star has not yet descended on our world...... Everything about that world is unknown, and we don't know exactly what the ruling clan is.

But the filmmaker ...... The Shadow Men are a little different from them, they are the natives of the Nightmare Realm, and they even arrived in that world before the Dark Saints, and their relationship with the Dark Saints is one of cooperation, not slavery...... In general, we refer to them as the Eternals...... Or, the people of God. ”

Fang Yu suddenly felt a tingling pain in his brain, and several fragments of pictures flashed in his mind, which were like pictures drawn on the rock wall, towering huge shadows like mountains, falling meteors, and two gods who clashed with one black and one white.

He always remembered where he had heard such a term, Shenmin, but the stinging pain interrupted his thoughts, and he couldn't help but shake his head violently.

"Mr. Ed, are you alright?" Blackcock looked at him with some concern.

Fang Yu shook his head again, and then recalled the fragments that flashed in his mind before, but as if he had been awakened from a dream, the memory had become fragmented.

However, the Eternal, it was not the first time he had heard such a term, but he didn't expect that the Eternals still had a special reference among the dark believers, specifically referring to the shadow man.

They are like the envoys of the dark saints, planning every move of the dark believers behind the scenes, from the tragedy of the Grossle family to the disaster of the dragon witch a hundred years ago, it seems that there are the shadows of these oracles behind them.

Once again, the threads are strung together.

He looked at Alyssa to the side, Miss Nightingale holding the recording crystal in her hand, and kept the conversation intact.

"What is the true purpose of the Ravental Temple?"

After figuring out the general origin of the filmmaker, Fang Yu asked the second question.

But this time Elver-Yaz Leonard was particularly silent, and it was not until Fang Yu motioned for the founder of the Redeemed to take a step forward that he reacted and replied, "Don't come, I say...... Their purpose is to open a door......"

"A door? Is it the door that connects the Third Scourge to Aitalia? Are they going to let the Third Calamity come to this world early? Fang Yu asked rhetorically.

Elver Yez Leonard shook his head: "How can the door between two worlds be opened so easily, what they want to open is the door to the verdant......"

"Wait," Blackcock said incredulously, "is that the second scourge Green?" But didn't the second evil star fail to come, and even Cangcui sank into the deep sea with Essorin. ”

But Elver Yez Leonard looked at the young man with a complicated expression, and said, "What they want to open is the door to the verdant world of will, the world of the second scourge of the second star, Moyadimak itself, has been reduced to nothingness in that invasion, and Owenloth and Verdant have all descended into this world, one missing, the other dead. But before they died, Emmerald hid part of Moyadimak in the kingdom of God, and it was the gate to that kingdom that they wanted to open, where there was also a dark legion, the ship of the dead, Nafrlund. ”

Black ships anchored at both ends of the stormβ€”

A sentence from the crow's prophecy suddenly flashed into Fang Yuan's thoughts.

But before anyone else realized it, Blackcock was still asking, "What was the way they opened the door?" ”

"Emerald Star," Elver Yez Leonard said, "a verdant shard, with the message of the Great Ruler still on it, who disguised it as an enchantment crystal, anchored by three crystals, and opened the door of the Verdant Divine Kingdom to this world. ”

Three crystals?

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, aren't there only two?

He looked at Elver Yaz Leonard and asked quietly, "Which three crystals?" ”

"One of them is in Gulla, and I think you should know where the crystal is, otherwise you wouldn't have come to this place," replied Elver Yaz Leonard, "the other is in El Pahi, and as for the third, I don't know where." ”

Kweed stepped forward with a cold face, but the parish patriarch from the Altoria region screamed, "Don't come, I really don't know...... Even if you kill me, I don't know. But if you kill me, some secrets will remain secrets forever. ”

Fang Yu stretched out his hand to stop the founder of the Redeemed One, looked carefully at this hateful-looking cultist, and looked him up and down: "What other secrets do you know?" ”

Elver Yeez Leonard let out a long breath and looked at the crowd for a moment of hesitation: "For example...... Something to do with your Super Athletic League. ”

……

Sylvide looked down at Miss Elf in her palm.

She also watched with some amusement as Nini was learning to be her 'sister', kneeling beside her with a well-behaved appearance, wagging her flaming little tail and tilting her little head to look at them.

"Miss Tata, can you elaborate on the situation inside?"

Tata nodded quietly, "There have always been only two main Electors in Gula Harbor, one is the Silver Vislan, and the other is the former Knights of the Oak of Tapolis. But in addition to these two large guilds, there are also some smaller forces...... In such a large port city, the small ones are only relatively speaking, at least they are much larger than the ones we have encountered in Orenze. ”

"Is there a Rainhearer or a Blood Oath on the scale, Miss Tata?" Azure asked.

Miss Elf nodded.

"There are four more guild masters like this, namely the Mark of the Gods, the Dream Fantasy, the Sword of the Dimension, and the Origin Society," she said, pushing the silver-rimmed glasses made of magic on the bridge of her small nose, and her eyes quietly staring at the pages of light taller than her own, "but only the Origin Society emerged after the dissolution of the Oak Knights of Tapolis, and the other three guilds have a long history of conflicts. After the dissolution of the Oak Knights, the guilds had already declared war in private for the vacuum of power and the legacy left by the Knights. ”

"That's true, I've heard these rumors a long time ago," Kita whispered, "but the fights between guilds are often in the open, and the grievances between the Electors can only be resolved between the Electors, and outsiders are rarely aware of these things, but I didn't expect Miss Tata to know so carefully." ”

"Mr. Knight told me." Tata said matter-of-factly.

"How does Brother Ed know so well?" Sky Blue was a little curious.

Fang didn't tell them that the news had been soldβ€”the Mark of the Gods was closely related to Silver Vislan, and the Knights of Tapolis Oak were behind the dream whimsy.

Among the three guilds, only the Dimensional Sword seems to be independent, but it is actually the nail planted here by the descendants of Flor, and behind it is the Godslayer Alliance, that is, the guild to which the underworld belongs.

Fang Yu knew about this early on.

When R introduced the major guilds to him, he had already revealed the subordinate chapters of these guilds, even the secret relationship between the Blood Oath and the Jeffrey Redcoats.

Although Fang Yu was also a little curious, how did his cheap teacher know so much, but he had never received an answer to such a question.

Before going to the northern border this time, Fang Yu had considered the possibility of dealing with the Rainbow Alliance, so he had already investigated the situation here.

He had a piece of information in his hand, so he went directly to the underworld, and although the other party was a little curious about how he could know about the relationship between the dimensional sword and the god killer, he didn't ask in detail.

It wasn't a big deal to betray the opponent's information, and he sold him the imprint of the gods and the situation of the dream whimsical on the spot.

Fang Yu originally offered to pay, but Ming did not accept it, she said that she was not an intelligence dealer like washing her hands, and if Fang Yu really wanted to pay for it, it would be regarded as owing her a favor.

Of course, the so-called favor is owed in a personal capacity, and considering the relationship between the God Slayer and the Descendant of Flor, he is not going to risk the Seven Seas Brigade.

Ming also asked for a hand-washing message by the way: "She went to the Summer End Tower with you, and then she disappeared, do you know where she went?" ”

Fang Yu could only shake his head at this, not knowing.

He said to him a little amusedly, "That little girl seems to like you, I thought she was going on an adventure with you." ”

Fang Yu couldn't help wiping his sweat when he heard this, after he knew the true identity of 'Miss Hand Wash', how could he not know that Ms. Ming was making fun of herself.

However, the information sold to him by the underworld is very detailed, and there are even some actions and plans including the mark of the gods and dream whimsy in the recent period, which was originally just a precaution and thought it would be useless, but he didn't expect that it could be used just now.

In a calm tone, Tata continued:

"Not long ago, the news of the obelisk inside the Traveler's Swamp was widely circulated in the Gula area, because of the rumor and the Elven Secret Treasure, it attracted the close attention of the major forces in Gula City, and then a related map appeared on the market, causing a serious conflict between the mark of the gods and the dream whimsyβ€”β€”"

"But wait, Miss Tata, didn't Sister Sylvede say that the Obelisk in the Traveler's Swamp is just fake news?" Azure asked, interrupting.

"It was indeed a fake news, and the map was not true, so it seems that it will not be resolved afterwards, but the contradiction between the mark of the gods and the whims of the dreams has deepened because of it." Luo Hao had heard about it, after all, one of the hottest news in Kaulin-Ishurian at the moment was related to the Elven Holy Grail, and this rumor had been circulating in the north for more than a year.

Tata nodded, "Mr. Knight asked Nini to infiltrate the ranks of the Mark of the Gods, and the forged diary he put down was related to that map. Dream Fantasy has suffered a lot in this matter, and of course they will not give up, which is why they will unite the people of the dimensional sword to appear in this place-"

Ai Xiaoxiao seemed to understand a little bit about what they were doing when they came to this place in a big circle since they left the hostel, and they didn't enter the inner city.

She looked at Tang Xin beside her, blinked her eyes and asked, "But do they really believe that the diary is real, and don't they suspect that the diary has a suspicious origin?" ”

Tang Xin sighed: "My brother also wrote some things about Fenris on it. ”

Ai Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that now the whole world knew that there was an obelisk under Fenris that had sunk into the abyss, but the only person who knew the contents of it was their leader.

The hero who saved Fenris had disappeared from the abyss, and naturally there was no doubt that the information about the spire beneath Fenris in a seemingly quaint journal could have come from someone with a heart - they would at best doubt the authenticity of the journal.

But the content on the log couldn't be more true, although it is not the map itself on the obelisk, but the details and text descriptions on the obelisk are not false in half a word.

"Big cousin is too insidious." Ai Xiaoxiao gasped.

"The Dream Fantasy and the Dimensional Sword people have already been killed, but it seems that they don't seem to be willing to fight directly with the people of the Mark of the Gods, they haven't read the journal itself after all, and it seems that they still have some doubts about this matter," Tianlan couldn't help but ask, "If they can't fight, what should we do?" ”

Sylvid gently placed Tata and Nini on her shoulder, smiled and replied, "That's why we're here." ”

"Miss Sylvide, are we going to sow discord in the guise of people from both sides?"

Ai Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, she was just a weak and helpless little ranger, and she didn't have any combat power, of course, she could only make a bad life behind the scenes to maintain an adventurous life.

But the shipssayer still smiled and shook her head: "Yes and no, we don't pretend to be any of them, those people are not so stupid." ”

"Huh?" Ai Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Then who are we going to disguise ourselves as?" ”

Tianlan reacted at once, and said in surprise: "Ah, I know." ”

caused everyone to look in her direction.

……

"As for the position of the Super Athletic League, they are your people after all, how do I know?"

In response to Fang Yuan's question, Elver-Yeez-Leonard looked at the crowd and said quietly: "To be honest, I don't know how many of them are connected to us, I am just a parish patriarch, and I don't have the authority to know about this. I could have identified a few traitors for you, but that shouldn't be of any help to you. ”

Fang Yu stared at the person who had suddenly calmed down, and said, "Are you saying that you are making fun of us, do you really think that we dare not kill you?" ”

"No, no, no," Elver Yeez Leonard shook his head, "If I wasn't afraid of death, I wouldn't have said so much to you, but I can only say what I know, and I can't say anything else even if you kill me." ”

"Then you're useless."

Kweed, who had not spoken, suddenly drew his greatsword from behind him and pointed it at the parish patriarch of Altory, "What last words can be said." ”

"Wait," Elver Yaez-Leonard hurriedly raised his hand, "I don't know much, but I don't know anything either, and while I can't identify everyone, I know that your Super Athletic League has always been a one-line connection with us. ”

"One-line contact," Fang Yu was stunned: "What does that mean?" ”

"That is, there is a general leader among you, and it is through this general that our Holy Son has made contact with the Super Athletic Alliance," Elver Yez Leonard thought for a moment and replied, "It's just that I don't know much about this general leader, except that he has some connection with an organization called the Celestial Society. ”

The Celestial Society?

Fang Yu couldn't help but look back at Hongye and the others, but everyone seemed a little dazed, obviously they hadn't heard of this term.

"What else do you know?" He looked at Elver-Yaz Leonard and asked, "Are the descendants of Flor related to you?" ”

"There are some, but not many," Elver Yeez-Leonard replied, "The Eternals have bewitched some of their superiors by promising immortality, but their relationship with us is far lower than our relationship with the Hyper Athletic League. ”

Fang Yu didn't speak, but this was also roughly in line with the speculation in his heart, compared to the Super Athletic Alliance, the descendants of Flor were more crowded. If the dark cultists want to collude with the descendants of Flor, they can only take the high-level route, and they may even be just a few people in the upper echelons of the alliance.

But Momiji on the side was a little unconvinced: "Eternal life? She sneered, "No one really believes this, what is the point of being immortal in this world?" It may be reasonable for you to say that the aborigines may be demagogic, but how can you fool the Electors? ”

Elver Yaz Leonard looked at the little girl and smiled, "That's just what you think, you don't know anything about the world. ”

"What did you say!?" Momiji suddenly raised his brows.

But Fang Yu stretched out his hand to stop Momiji, and at the same time gave her a look, signaling her not to be led astray by the guy in front of her.

He pulled Momiji back, then looked at the patriarch calmly, and then spoke: "I don't know anything less than you know, don't play tricks in front of us." What else do you know about that person in charge? ”

Elver Yez Leonard looked at him silently, and was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "...... I know that he may not be an official of the Super Athletic League, he has been in this world for a long time...... Moreover, he has something to do with the cause of the Battle of Byrne fourteen years ago......"

Elver Yaz Leonard's dark green eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, "Besides, he seems to know you, why do you think you came to this place?" ”

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, frowning and staring at the other party: "What did you say?" ”

"He knows you," replied Elver Yeez-Leonard, "and he was the one who led you to this place in Greyowl, and I suppose you should have sensed something was wrong." ”

Fang Yu involuntarily turned his head and glanced at Sha Ye, his heart shocked.

However, at this moment, the patriarch from the diocese of Altori seemed to have finally seized the long-awaited opportunity, and he took advantage of everyone's stunned moment, suddenly burst out, broke free from Blackberg's shackles, and pounced on the red leaves in front of him.

Momiji is just an alchemist, and although he is a combat craftsman, he is not good at close combat, and when he sees someone rushing towards him, he retreats as if he is instinctively reacting.

But as soon as she retreated, she didn't react well, and Elver Yaz Leonard, who was tightly tied up with the rope, staggered past her and fell face down the rock stairs.

Immediately after a muffled sound, blood gushed from under his skull, and dark red blood flowed down the stairs one step after another.

Fang Yu took a step forward and dragged the patriarch and turned him over, only to see a deep bone-visible opening on the other party's forehead, like an open mouth, rolling flesh and blood outward.

And Elver Yeez Leonard's eyes rolled, and he couldn't live anymore.

He silently threw the other party's corpse to the ground, and could only sigh in his heart These fanatics are really tougher than the other, although Aitalia can be resurrected after death, but people who don't have the courage to die in this way dare not try.

"Ed," Momiji looked at them a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry...... I ......"

"It's okay," Fang Yu shook his head, he had already gotten the information he wanted, it didn't matter if the other party was dead or alive, he didn't expect these dark believers to really have the same heart as them.

Enough has been gained on this trip.
