Chapter 1122: The Illuminati

"This pattern? It doesn't look like a magic pattern, it's not a magic array, is it just an ordinary sign? "Of all the high-level leaders of the Tower of Twilight, the most knowledgeable is the Master of Basel, who once lived in seclusion in the Dolander Library. Templar. It's just that after seeing the pattern that Elan, Basel also felt a little powerless, and he couldn't find anything like that pattern in his memory.

"This pattern is on a man named Tanu, and it is said that those forces have united against us, and it is that person who is behind the manipulation. I suspect that this Tanu is related to the captive that the Elder captured earlier, and I wonder if you have ever found anything similar in that captive. Elan spoke his guess and looked at Gavin, who was personally responsible for the torture of the captive.

"I didn't pay attention to this, you wait, I'll call someone to check on that person." Gavin listened to Elan's speculation and immediately sought out the man in charge of guarding the captive, and asked them to go and examine the captive all over his body. Although there was nothing on the back of the captive's hand, who said that the pattern must be drawn on the back of the hand.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the men who had gone to inspect came back and reported that a pattern had been found on the back of the captive's neck, and had been drawn. Although the pattern on the back of the captive's neck is a little smaller than that on the back of Tanu's hand, a comparison of the two patterns reveals that there are many similarities between the two.

"They're all in the same group, but what does this pattern mean, is it a sign of that mysterious force?" The report of his subordinates finally confirmed one thing to Gavin, but they still did not know anything about the origin of the pattern.

As for the captive, Gavin also used a lot of torture methods, but that guy's cowardice turned out to be his talisman, and with a little more means, that guy would faint directly. Even, Gavin invited Uyfarusi to him, wanting him to use necromancy to directly read the kid's soul memory.

It's a pity that Uyi Farusi, who is already at the peak of the legendary strength, has no way to take that kid. That kid's soul was as fragile as paper, and Uy Farusi didn't dare to use a little strength, for fear of breaking the other party's soul at once, and naturally he wouldn't get any useful information.

If you want to directly read useful memories from the soul of that captive, I'm afraid that the only one who is a powerhouse in the Holy Domain is Lin Li. Templar. It's a pity that Lin Li is now closed in the library, and Gavin and the others can't bother him because of this matter, after all, the captives are locked up there, as long as that kid doesn't die before Lin Li comes out.

However, although there was no way to ask anything from the captive for the time being, Gavin and the others did not give up the pursuit of that special pattern, and even sent a letter to the Ash Warlock, hoping to get an answer from the Ash Warlock. After all, the Ember Warlock has been around for an unknown number of years on the Plains of Light Wind, and he may be able to know something.

Although the Ash Warlock has been living in seclusion in the small town of Gran, and it seems that he does not care about the world, nothing can be hidden from him about what happened in the entire Light Wind Plains. Originally, he was a dignified powerhouse in the Holy Domain, and he didn't bother to pay attention to those ant-like existences, but for the sake of Lin Li's face, he still sent a letter back to Gavin and them.

"The Illuminati? What kind of force is this, how have I never heard of it! After receiving the letter from the Ash Warlock, Gavin and the others gathered together and opened the letter, and there were only three words written on it: the Illuminati. However, Basel, including Basel, did not have the slightest impression of the Illuminati.

Fortunately, the Tower of Dusk, because of the many reasons, has always had a good relationship with the two major temples of light and darkness. When Gavin received the name of the Illuminati from the Ash Warlock, he immediately wrote to each of the two temples of light and darkness, asking for information about the Illuminati.

Although the two great temples of light and darkness were established at the end of the dark ages, they did not exist for countless years like the Ash Warlocks, but they also held many secrets that were unknown in the history of the Anriel Continent. In particular, both of these forces have a large number of followers, and the Dark Temple, even if it is now in decline, has been glorious, not to mention the Temple of Light.

Soon after Gavin's letter was sent, he received a reply from the two temples of light and darkness, and only then did he know the origin of this Illuminati. This Illuminati, if you really want to say it, has a longer history than the two temples of light and darkness, it has existed since the time when the High Elves ruled the Anriel Continent, and it is even said that it was established before the Dark Ages.

In the Dark Ages, the Illuminati once had a very large base of believers among human beings, and at that time, there was no Temple of Light and Temple of Darkness, and the Illuminati could definitely be called the first religion of mankind. Unfortunately, it is precisely for this reason that the Illuminati have aroused the fear of the High Elves, and the lords of the High Elves have launched a brutal cleanup of the Illuminati in their respective territories. Templar. It is said that in that great cleanup, as many as 100,000 Illuminati believers were executed by the High Elves, and the upper echelons of the Illuminati were also eliminated in the cleanup.

Outside of the Great Cleanup, the Illuminati disappeared from the continent of Anriel, as if they had been completely wiped out by the High Elves. Until the end of the Dark Ages, the enslaved intelligent races such as humans set off a wave of rebellion against the rule of the High Elves, and the Illuminati, which had disappeared for hundreds of years, reappeared in people's sight, and also played a considerable role in the war of resistance.

Unfortunately, hundreds of years have passed, and the teachings and concepts of the Illuminati have been no longer accepted by most human beings, and the establishment of the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness has compressed the living space of the Illuminati to the extreme. After the end of the Dark Ages, about a hundred years ago, the Illuminati disappeared from the continent of Anriel again, and no one knew about the Illuminati again.

"Ralph said that the man named Tanu was from the sea. Do you think it could be that the Illuminati went to sea back then? Elan frowned, holding the reply letter from the Temple of Light and Darkness in his hand, judging from the information in the reply, this Illuminati was not ordinary.

A religion that has existed from the dark ages to the present, has suffered from the Great Purge of the High Elves in the middle, and the competition between the two temples of light and darkness is enough to see the tenacity of the vitality of this religion. Although the Tower of Dusk is now quite powerful, and there are Sanctuary-level elders in charge, Elan still has a great fear of this illumination from the bottom of his heart.

A religion like the Illuminati that has been passed down for thousands of years, if there are not a few powerhouses in the Holy Realm, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Elan followed Lin Li to explore the Sky City, and he also knew that the strength of his elder was not comparable to that of ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses. However, after all, the elder is only one person, and it is impossible to stay in the Tower of Dusk all the time, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.

"That Tanu is from the sea, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Illuminati are also on the sea, maybe the Illuminati have been lurking on the mainland." Gavin's statement is not unreasonable, the fact that people at sea join the Illuminati does not mean that the Illuminati are at sea, and there is no necessary causal relationship between them.

However, at this time, Master Basel, who had been meditating beside him, suddenly thought of something and said to the two: "Have you forgotten that sea kingdom? ”

"Jindu Kingdom!" Elan and Gavin called out a name in unison.

The Kingdom of Jindu is a country of thousands of islands, and although there is a lot of maritime trade with countries on the mainland, there is very little information about the Kingdom of Jindu on the mainland. It is said that back then, in addition to the obstruction of the mission of the Kingdom of France, the Temple of Light also had the idea of the Kingdom of Jindu. He also sent two archbishops, ten cardinals and hundreds of believers of light to preach in the Kingdom of Jindu, but the result was that the Temple of Light was dumb and couldn't tell the bitterness.

After the two archbishops took people to the Kingdom of Jindu by boat, they began to send letters to the Temple of Light, telling them some of the problems encountered in the missionary process and the gains. But half a year later, the Temple of Light actually received a letter of renunciation from the two archbishops and other believers of Light, and even persuaded the then Pope of Light to give up his belief in the Holy Light, which made the Pope of Light angry enough.

The reason why the two archbishops, as well as the other believers of the Light, wrote back to declare their withdrawal from the Temple of Light was because they had changed their faith and become members of the Illuminati. At this moment, the Temple of Light really stole chickens and rice, not only did not introduce the Holy Light Doctrine to the Jindu Kingdom, but also lost two archbishops and ten cardinals.

If it weren't for the fact that the Temple of Light had tightly sealed the news, and even announced that the two archbishops were in distress at sea, I am afraid that the Temple of Light would really become the laughing stock of the entire Anriel Continent.

Of course, they didn't know about this incident of the Temple of Light, but they vaguely remembered that there was a mention of the Temple of Light's overseas missionary in any historical materials. However, even if they didn't know the inside story, they could guess that the mission of the Temple of Light must have failed, otherwise it would have been hyped up a long time ago. As for any shipwrecks at sea, those two archbishops are both powerhouses at the peak of legends, and the ten cardinals are also at the legendary level, how can they be so unlucky that they were all shipwrecked at sea.

"The mission of the Temple of Light failed in the first place, is it because this Illuminati has already occupied the Jindu Kingdom?" As soon as Gavin's words came out, the faces of several people suddenly became a little ugly.

If the Illuminati Society is only lurking on the mainland, then even if there is any hidden strength, I am afraid it is very limited. However, if the Illuminati have been developing in the Kingdom of Jindu, it will be a matter of two levels. Look at the Temple of Light, isn't it developed based on the Kingdom of Ryding, and now it is the only force on the Anriel continent that is second only to the Supreme Council.

Don't think that the Kingdom of Jindu is just a kingdom on the sea, just think that they are a small country that occupies a small island and has a pitiful number of people. The country of a thousand islands is not called in vain, not only is there a large number of islands, but the area of the islands is generally not small, among the islands occupied by the Kingdom of Jindu, the largest is the size of ten Orlana regions, and ordinary islands are not smaller than the Dolander region. If the area of all the islands is combined, I am afraid that it is not inferior to the territory of the two human kingdoms, and the natural population is definitely quite large.

Therefore, if the Illuminati Society is really based on the Jindu Kingdom, then the current strength that has developed to the present, even if it is not comparable to the Temple of Light, will definitely not be much worse. Such a force, which is not inferior to the Temple of Light, is worried about the Tower of Dusk, which is definitely not good news.

After summarizing all the information, Basel and the others went to the library again, wanting to report this information to Lin Li and discuss what preparations the Tower of Dusk should make next. However, when the three of them came to the door of the library, they saw the closed door.

The three of them looked at each other helplessly, but no one went to call the door to disturb Lin Li. After all, in their opinion, Lin Li retreated immediately after he came back, it was likely that he had an epiphany, and this kind of opportunity for an epiphany was very rare, once he was disturbed and lost that feeling, it would be very difficult to have this kind of opportunity again in the future.

Anyway, even if the Illuminati knows about the matter of the Illuminati now, there seems to be no solution, so you can't kill it directly to the Jindu Kingdom. And the current strength of the Tower of Dusk is not something that any force can threaten, not to mention the Eternal Furnace and the Sky City, just the few strong people around the elder are enough to protect the Tower of Dusk as solid as gold. So, about the Illuminati and the Kingdom of Jindu, let's wait for the Elder to come out himself.

Although the matter of the Illuminati and the Kingdom of Jindu is a major event, it is not something that the Tower of Twilight is facing urgently, so Gavin and the others did not think about disturbing Lin Li anymore, and put this matter aside for the time being, and devoted all their energy to restoring the operation of the Tower of Twilight.

However, what Gavin and the others didn't expect was that although they had put this matter aside for the time being, the matter had just found their heads. Not long after they investigated some information about the Illuminati and the Kingdom of Jindu, the Tower of Dusk, located in a mine on the southern coast of the Light Wind Plains, was suddenly attacked from the sea.

A battleship like a sea fortress suddenly appeared in the sea near the mine, and a wave of artillery bombardment cleared the mine's coastal defenses, and then a large number of crew rushed into the mine, almost completely removing the ore stored in the mine. Moreover, not only did they empty the mine's warehouses, but they also blew up all the mine's tunnels before leaving, making it impossible for the mine to resume production for at least three months.
