Chapter 45: The Ins and Outs

Those who peep into the abyss will peep into the abyss!

******

Pushing open the wooden door and entering the living room, a fresh and elegant smell wafted in the air, making Chu Ge's over-functioning brain a little more sober.

After finishing their conversation at the tavern, the two of them got into the carriage and rode for about ten minutes.

Under the leadership of Eddie, Chu Ge came to this small two-story courtyard.

The spiral-style hanger placed at the door was obviously the work of a group of pointy ears in the dark forest, although it was not endowed with the magic of active cleaning, it was still a high-end import, and even if there was a way, it was estimated that it would not be able to buy it without five gold coins.

Of course, this money is nothing to Chu Ge, even some businessmen in Brewell can easily take it out, but you must know that the function of this thing is just a hanger.

And, this is just one of the houses in this side.

A glimpse of the whole panther, even a man without any strength, when he becomes a member of the exploiting class, can enjoy the benefits is quite amazing, there should be no one in Brewell who can squander like this (poor Lord Baron has been dizzy this year's income and expenditure, even the servants' benefits have begun to shrink).

This is just the most common state of affairs in Midgarh City, no, compared to his hard-working colleagues, Addis is clean enough, at least no one else will live in a small courtyard like him.

Under Eddie's guidance, Chu Ge came to this quiet study.

"Do you know anything about 'bad faith'?"

The administrative officer made two cups of acacia black tea and asked Chu Ge nonchalantly.

"'Evil...... Meaning? 'What's that?' ”

For the first time, in the eyes of the political officer, the young man who had always been calm and calm finally showed the doubts and curiosity that should be there at that age. Eddie also felt the feeling of winning back a city because of the other party's expression.

Don't say it's an arrogant person like him, even if it's a normal person, if he has been suppressed by a person of the same sex who is much younger than himself, he will feel depressed.

In fact, Chu Ge naturally knew what the so-called "malice" was, but considering Eddie's next behavior, he chose to deny it.

After all, Eddie's previous words are "revealing some secrets", and the word "partial" is more interesting, usually depending on the mood of the person expressing it, and inversely proportional to the current level of rationality.

- No matter who you are, when you are satisfied in your heart, the words in your mouth will subconsciously become more.

To shake the other party's reason, generally speaking, anger and complacency are the easiest to guide, and they are also what Chu Ge is best at, and out of his understanding of Eddie, he chose the latter.

Although the effect is not amazing, there are still some of them, and after taking a sip of black tea, the political officer opened the conversation:

"Speaking of the enemies of the living, we have to mention their former companions, the healing church, and their common enemy, the Old Gods."

"Compared to the magical and mysterious places such as the sage Santaradreel, the fairy forest Minerva, and the forgotten city of Agdiu, which have always been passed down in the bards, the former healing church and the enemy of the living are much more simple."

"Although they are unknown and do not declare their names to the world, they have been secretly working for the peace of the continent, and have been fighting against the ancient gods to prevent the erosion of living beings by the ancient gods."

"And the erosion of the ancient gods is something called 'malice'."

"The most recent large-scale spread of malice took place on the northern border of the Arkaya Empire, a lost ancient capital of glory, Yanan."

"Yanan used to be a mecca of medicine, where there were various schools of medical technology, and countless patients came to seek medical treatment every year."

"Many years ago, an association called the Healing Church was established in Yanan, and their treatment method was called blood therapy, which relied on the injection of a special kind of blood, which was recognized by more and more people because of its excellent effect, and gradually became one of the more popular treatment methods in Yanan."

"However, what is not known to outsiders is that the blood therapy of the Healing Church does not use the blood of ordinary creatures, but is extracted from something deep in the Stone Wilderness, and the effect of helping people get rid of disease by transforming the diluted blood."

"In order to repay their gratitude to the Healing Church, some patients stayed in Yanan and joined the Healing Church, and the Healing Church continued to grow."

"One day, fifty years ago, a mutation suddenly happened that seemed to have been arranged for a long time! The ancient will, which had been sleeping in that mysterious blood, suddenly awakened, and at that moment all those who had been infused with blood fell into a long dream, constantly listening to the whispers of ancient creatures. ”

"On the first night of collective dreaming, terror has quietly descended! In the dream, the group of people who were injected with the most blood were severely distorted, their mental frequencies were greatly polluted, and they degenerated into a chaotic state, and even their physical bodies were mutated to varying degrees, and their shapes were brutal and indescribable! ”

"There is no doubt that more than eighty percent of the first batch of aliens came from the headquarters of the Healing Church! And according to statistics, the degree of mutation of this part of the personnel is also the most serious, not only the mind is completely annihilated, but even the body has completely become an unknown creature! ”

"Although both the Templar and the Empire immediately issued countermeasures, the Aliens were far more powerful than the Superiors imagined, and the Empire was in a very chaotic state at that time, so what could have been controlled became very tricky, and countless civilians died innocently."

"The towns and villages around Yanan have been destroyed one after another, and the soldiers stationed at the border are also vulnerable and crushed in front of the aliens, and as time goes by, more and more dreamers have fallen, and Yanan has completely become the hometown of the aliens."

"Some of the lucky ones managed to survive the battle with the high-level aliens, but the injured all went insane without exception, and their dreams were dominated by the old gods."

"I don't know whether to say lucky or what, the aliens did not go deep into the center of the empire, but slowly turned to the southeast and gradually came into contact with the realm of the Hutton Federation!"

"Yes, the high-level leaders of the two sides finally reached an agreement to send troops together to launch an encirclement and suppression of the aliens, although the effect is obvious, but the two sides still suffered heavy losses, and the Arkaya Empire, which was originally in an absolute hegemonic position, was even more damaged!"

"It is worth mentioning that the Pope of the Templar fell in that war of encirclement and suppression, and the legend of the death of both the Empire and the Federation is close to double digits!"

"Fortunately, because the blood has been infinitely diluted, except for the members of the healing church, most of the patients who have been cured by blood therapy have not undergone abnormal changes, but they are still sleeping in their dreams."

"In order to completely cut off the existence of the aliens and eliminate potential hidden dangers, the Empire is determined to execute all dreamers in the territory and cleanse Yanan!"

"Under the tough measures of the high-level, the ancient capital was full of blood for a while, and although some dreamers with special identities survived, they also slowly died with the passage of time and never woke up."

"The information about this incident has been blocked by the high-level, and the older generation is also secretive about it, so it's normal for you not to know about it."

After finishing speaking, Eddie coughed lightly, took a sip of the gradually warming black tea, and Chu Ge seemed to be shocked because of hearing this level secret.

"Did the Pope before Sylvia die in that chaos...... I didn't expect the clue that bothered me in my previous life to be solved here! ”

"In this way, this time it makes Hererys a lot more sure of competing for the Templar Apostle, and I am determined to win the Golden Holy Sword Peru Doro!"

Chu Ge did know a little about the information that Eddie said just now, the turmoil that was tightly sealed news, but it was definitely not so complete, and he had only been exposed to it piecemeal.

Pope Calvin died in battle, and the value of this news is enough to recover all the costs of Chu Ge's eastward journey this time!

After seeing that Chu Ge was almost back to his senses, Eddie continued to speak:

"The two most critical pieces of information about that incident are 'Malice' and 'Old Gods'!"

"The so-called ancient gods are not the gods in our concept, there is an essential difference between the two, but because their existence is too long to verify, and their power is too terrifying, they dominate chaos and destruction, and all actions are unreasonable, so they are called ancient gods."

"That's right, the mysterious blood found in the Stone Wilderness comes from the Old Gods, and the dream-inducing will contained in the blood is called malice by the Templars!"

Even in his previous life, no one had ever done such a detailed science popularization to Chu Ge, and now he was becoming more and more curious about Eddie's hidden identity.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ge brought up the most critical deficiency in Eddie's words just now, and he asked:

"So, what about the enemy of the living? And wasn't that turmoil caused by the healing church, so why did you say that they have been guarding the peace? ”

Add sighed, his face a little complicated, obviously reluctant to talk about the topic.

"It all started when the Healing Church was founded."

He straightened his crumpled sleeves, got up from the couch, and looked out the window, his eyes full of blankness.

"At the end of the turbulent years, two lucky young men wandered into the Stone Wilderness, where they found an ancient seal and the remains of an old god in a weathered ruins."

"No one knows exactly what the two of them did there, except that one of them later went to Yanan, invented the blood healing method, and became the first leader of the healing church, her name is Rin."

"She's a crazy genius, no, she's a madman! After coming out of the Stone Wilderness, she knew about the existence of the Old God for the first time, and she also knew that the broken seal was on the verge of collapse, and someone had to stand up to stop it! ”

"Because of the particularity of that seal, as long as the seal is not completely broken, the ancient gods will never be able to really make a move, and can only interfere with mortals with malice."

"In order to solve those early aliens, Lin came up with a crazy idea, which is to absorb the power of the blood of the ancient gods and use the power of the ancient gods to fight the ancient gods, which is also the origin of the blood healing method." (Madness can occur after being injured in battle with a high-level Alien, and Lynn has the power to avoid this)

"This crazy idea was quickly realized by her, and it worked very well, and the healing church is slowly growing, and with the change of the times, the church members continue to change, but they all stick to Yanan without exception."

"The Healing Church silently purged the alienated while working with other schools of medicine to treat patients from afar, so in the eyes of outsiders, Yanan has always been just an ancient city suitable for medical treatment, nothing more."

"As for the enemies of the living...... Regardless of their power or nature, they are much easier than healing the Church, and needless to say, you should know that their original leader was another young man who had entered the Stone Wilderness in the first place, Sherlock. ”

"Sherlock doesn't have Lynn's talent, but he's lucky enough to get inspiration from the Sealed Lands."

"Although he didn't agree with Lynn's crazy idea, Sherlock didn't stop it, after saying goodbye to Lin stationed in Yanan, he chose to continue to travel on the mainland, accumulating his own experience little by little, and in the process of growing up, he finally let that enlightenment sublimate and comprehend his own power, which is also the original origin of [Hunter]."

"In fact, in addition to the Stone Wilderness, there are other Ancient God Seals on the continent, of course, the integrity is much higher, but it will still pose a threat from time to time, and the mercenary group [Enemy of Souls] was born in such a background, in order to clear the malice of the Ancient Gods scattered everywhere."

"If the disaster hadn't occurred in Yanan fifty years ago, I guess everything would have continued to function normally...... It can only be said that one person's talent can't support a huge body of desire, not to mention that Lin has been dead for hundreds of years, and it is normal for internal mistakes to occur - but this price is inevitably too huge! ”

"Originally, the strength of the healing church was quite good, but it was only not famous because it had been fighting the aliens, and when malice erupted from the blood of the ancient gods, the strength of the church members was even more exaggerated!"

"Although the soul and body are all distorted, it can make the Holy Church Sect collapse, and the two major forces on the continent can join forces to clean it up...... It's hard to imagine this. ”

"At the very beginning of the Yanan tragedy, the members of the Enemy of Souls intervened in it at the first time, because the situation was too urgent, so they almost rushed out to reach Yanan, but the result can be imagined, the enemy of the Souls, which was originally relatively weak, could not have any substantive effect in front of the alienated cultists, most of the hunters died under the hands of their former colleagues, and few managed to escape from Yanan."

"After this battle, the vitality of the enemy of the living soul was greatly damaged, which also laid the foundation for the destruction of the mercenary group in the future."
