A civil war, a real civil war.

Unlike the armed conflict between the nobles in the region, the limited war waged by the lords to redivide the land, and even the military campaign that Gawain was preparing to regain control of the southern border, Ansu would usher in a real civil war.

The redivided royal family and the border dukes will be the promoters, dominators, participants in this war.

And behind all this is the Society of the End of All Things, a cult hidden in the dark and full of mysteries.

Their power has swelled to such an extent!

Gawain was almost stunned, and he looked at Clement in front of him with a hint of consternation - even though this high-ranking cultist had been turned into a puppet under the control of Tyr's tentacles, he still had to look at the man who had just ignited the fuse of the civil war: "What are you starting this civil war for?" ”

Clement had a struggling look on his face, as if his last remaining will was resisting answering the crucial question, but after a moment he spoke in a low and confused voice: "All we want is a war...... Any form of war ......"

"You want war?" Gawain's brows furrowed tightly, "What are you going to do with the war!?" ”

Clement let out a muffled grunt, and Tyr snorted softly, and a slight halo immediately floated on the surface of those tentacles, shattering all of Clement's will to resist: "War...... Bring ample ...... Raw material ......"

Gawain chased after him: "Raw materials? What are the ingredients? ”

Clement let out a bitter growl, and Tyr let out a strange "huh".

"There is a very strong psychic prohibition...... It's even more powerful than my Deep Sea Voice," Miss Kraken looked helpless, "This prohibition has erased some of his memories just now...... I didn't even have time to observe how it worked. ”

"There is such a thing?" Gawain was taken aback, he didn't expect these cultists to leave such a "safety lock" in the minds of high-ranking members, and then he changed several methods to ask Clement on the side, hoping to get some remaining clues, but the result was expected - nothing was gained.

He can now only affirm the following facts:

Prince Edmund participates in the murder of his father, and has a kind of mutual guarding, delicate "cooperation" with the Society of the End of All Things; Prince Edmund's purpose is to end the status quo of the "puppet royal family" of the Second Dynasty and completely control the entire country, and on this basis, he may have many follow-up plans; The Church of the End of All Things needs war to provide them with some kind of "raw material", whether it is the Ansu Civil War or the outbreak of war between Ansu and Typhon; Typhon hides the power of the Society of the End of Things, that Rosetta?? It is highly likely that Augustus the Great was also a collaborator of the Society of the End of All Things......

That was all he could get from Clement.

After finishing the questioning, Gawain glanced at Amber standing beside him and reminded, "Don't you have a problem too?" Hurry up and ask. ”

Amber glanced at Gawain, then at Clement, then gritted her teeth and felt something out of her arms.

She handed it to Clement, "I heard it before - do you know where this ring came from?" ”

It took a long time for Clement's cloudy gaze to focus on Amber's hand, and he muttered in a low voice, "Shadow Seal...... Ancient rings ......"

"Do you know why this ring is on King Ansu's hand?" Amber stared into Clement's eyes, and for the first time on her face, Gawain had seen such a serious, serious, expectant and uneasy expression.

Where did this ring come from? It seems to have a lot of significance for amber?

Gawain couldn't help but be curious.

Clement, on the other hand, quickly responded: "The Shadow Seal...... It was Francis a long time ago?? Moen's Belongings...... I don't know where it belonged before it fell into the hands of Francis II...... It is only known that it is from the Ancient Gondor Empire...... Heritage ......"

"You say it's the legacy of the Old Gondor Empire?" Amber glared, "And what about the other than that?" Doesn't anyone know where this ring came from? ”

Amber's question was clearly overly complex, and Clement muttered for a long time before he could utter a succession of meaningful words: "It'...... Associated with the Shadow Realm...... Can communicate with creatures in the shadows......"

“…… It's the same as not saying! Amber couldn't hide the frustration on her face, and even her ears, which were always very energetic, drooped a little.

Gawain had never seen this grinning half-elf in such a low state, and he couldn't help but wonder: "This ring is important to you?" ”

"Hmm," Amber nodded, and then took out another ring from his arms, the ring looked exactly like the "Shadow Seal", except that it was obviously damaged, the precision magic pattern inside the ring was no longer effective, in Gawain's perception, it was just a metal ring with no magic fluctuations, "This is another ...... When I was very young, my adoptive father told me that this ring was the only thing he found when he picked me up that could have something to do with identity. It wasn't bad in the first place, it only became like this in the year I awakened the Shadow Talent......"

"Your background ......" Gawain finally understood why Amber had the same expression as before, "According to what you just said, you got the 'Shadow Seal' from Francis II?" ”

"That's right," Amber nodded, "and it's because he summoned a spatial door with the Shadow Seal Ring that I was able to make a trip from here to the border...... I thought I had finally found a clue about my parents, but I didn't expect it to be just a ring. ”

At this time, Tyr, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke: "I'll interject - this Clement said that the Shadow Seal Ring has always been in the hands of the old king, Amber, you are afraid that you are not the king's illegitimate daughter, right?" ”

Not to mention that Tyr thought so, in fact, Gawain had this very informative idea after knowing the relationship between Amber and the Shadow Seal, but before he could speak, Thorderlin, who was listening not far away, shook his head and said, "Impossible—look at Amber's ears." ”

Gawain looked at Amber with a puzzled expression: "Ears? ”

"The edge is here, upturned," Amber pointed to her long, pointy elven ears, "It's a paternal trait—it means my father was an elf." If matrilineal, the edges of the half-elves' ears will be flatter and extend more backwards. ”

"Is there still this difference...... "It's really the first time that Gawain knows this kind of little knowledge - even if it's Gawain back then?? Cecil, who is only more knowledgeable in the human realm, is not all clear in this regard, "So Amber your father must be an elf...... According to the elf's lifespan, there is a high probability that he is still alive now. ”

"I think so too, although I don't know what race my mom is, I'm sure my dad is still alive," Amber said with a determined look on her face, "Since the Shadow Seal Ring is a treasure of the Ancient Gondor Empire, then my dad must be a very powerful elf, right?" And he left me another ring...... This must be left so that we can have the opportunity to meet in the future! ”

Gawain looked at Amber with a complicated look on his face and smiled slightly: "Of course, this is the most logical inference. ”

"But after all these years...... I found a ring...... Or from the hands of a man who is already dead...... Who should I contact to inquire about the origin of the King's Secret Treasure? ”

Gao Wen was silent for a few seconds, then slowly raised his head and said softly: "Knock down the king, and you will definitely be able to find someone to inquire." ”

"Oh......" Amber muttered, but reacted half a second later, and suddenly exclaimed, "What?!" ”

"The war has begun," Gawain sighed softly, "whether we like it or not, it has already begun." ”

The grotto of the Shadow Proving Ground fell silent, broken only by the muffled grunt of Clement and the occasional churning of Tyr's tentacles, before Toldling looked into Gawain's eyes and said, "There is a greater cloud behind this war than the war itself, and the cultists of the Society of the End of All Things are looking forward to this civil war—you know that." ”

"Of course I know," Gawain nodded slightly, "but this war is inevitable. The hidden danger of the Second Dynasty has been planted as early as the day when the Duke of the North supported an illegitimate son to ascend to the throne, and the peace of the kingdom for so many years has been maintained by the constant compromise of the Moen royal family and the checks and balances of several dukes, in other words, as long as the royal family members do not intend to compromise, and the Grand Duke does not intend to maintain a balance between them, then this peaceful situation will immediately lose its foundation...... This century-old backlog of power is incomparably strong, and neither you nor I can stop it. ”

Toldlin sighed, and could only admit that what Gawain said was exactly what he said.

Gawain did not continue to speak, but silently pondered in his heart what Clement had said.

All things will look forward to this war because it will provide valuable "raw materials" for one of their "causes".

Gawain couldn't figure out what that "cause" was, but through his side-by-side questions and his investigation into the Society for the End of All Things over time, coupled with his knowledge of the truth about the fall of the gods and the changes in the Druids' beliefs, he could roughly deduce what the cultists wanted to do, and what the "raw materials" they were asking for might be.

After that, Gawain asked Clement a lot of things, and in the process, he confirmed that he had a high-ranking bishop status in the entire Society of the Dead, in addition to collecting a lot of information related to the Society of the End of Everything.

The interrogation lasted almost the entire night.

In the end, Tyre ended his "control" over Clement.

As the tentacles broke away from the cultist's body, the flesh and blood of his body began to crumble and decompose uncontrollably, and he collapsed like a melting wax figure, leaving only a mass of clothes stained with viscous substance and a few fragile and porous bones.

The man who killed Francis II and lit the first fire of the Ansu Civil War died a miserable death.

"It's disgusting," Tyr glanced down at the edge of the waterhole, and couldn't help but stick out his tongue, "like the mud monsters of the deep sea......

"You should take back your tentacles first," Gawain frowned as he looked at the Kraken, "To be honest, the impact of your shape on ordinary people is no less than that of the Deep Sea Sludge Monster. ”
