Chapter 204: History and Reality
It turned out that Captain Leon Jr. had made an agreement with the Gadasi, and that his visit to the town of Herzros was premeditated.
The Leon family built the foundations on the high ground of the town, and the construction of the huge mansion began, and along the way, people discovered bottomless caverns hidden deep underground.
"This cave is a sacred place for the Gadamas, who migrate here every year from all over the world from the bottom of the sea, but I don't know why, these secrets are only known to my father and the higher ranks of the Order."
"As the captain's own son, he didn't tell you about it?" Lin Yiyi was a little unconvinced, she pouted and said, "It won't be that you want to clear up the relationship." ”
"No ......" Robert glanced at Mu Lan nervously, and hurriedly said: "I don't know a lot of things, my father doesn't want us to participate in this, even my brothers don't know." ”
"I trust you, go ahead." Mu Lan relaxed the military dagger against his neck, and her eyes motioned for him to continue.
Relieved, Robert continued, "After the arrival of the Gadamasis, the higher-ups of the Order controlled by my father asked the townspeople to intermarry those things, but they were immediately met with strong opposition. ”
Knowing that no one would marry those twisted-looking monsters, and with their antipathy to evil heretics, many townsfolk sided with the captain.
There were a lot of opinions about what was going on in the town, and every Sunday there would be all sorts of bizarre trails and missions, and people would start chattering.......
Not all of them have become faithful believers in the old rulers, and at first they only look at it with a utilitarian mind, because in the original religion, belief in these evil and absurd gods was punishable and punishable by hell.
The old-fashioned wanted to leave the town, and they found it very uneasy to be around these monsters every day, and the eerie atmosphere of Herzros was terrifying at that time.
Captain Leon Jr. forbade them to leave, because then the secret would be exposed, and in this way, the rift between the old townsfolk and the core members of the Holy Spirit Occult grew, and every day there were quarrels and curses, and there were even several clashes and casualties.
As the situation continues to escalate, Captain Leon Jr. decides to eliminate dissidents in order to prevent his plans from slipping.
On December 20, 1860, a massacre began, and the invulnerable Gadasi reappeared from the sea, killing anyone they saw, while Captain Leon's faction was already in hiding.
The massacre lasted for a day and a night, and the town of Herzros was strewn with corpses, flowing into the sea and staining the sea red, and the opponents were slaughtered, and finally the town was completely controlled by Captain Leon Jr. and the Esoteric Cult of the Holy Spirit.
"Is this the origin of the Great Plague of 1860?" Mu Lan asked.
"Yes." Robert nodded, "Because the family was in Herzros Town at that time, and it was relatively closed here, this matter was suppressed for a long time before it was reported to the county, and when the doctors and investigators came, the bodies were burned and everything was hidden. ”
"Covering the sky with one hand at the time?" Mu Lan was puzzled: "Isn't Herzros Town still under the control of the Leon family now?" Aren't you the mayor here? ”
"I'm just the unlucky guy who was pushed out." Robert shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Holy Spirit Secret Sect has been out of control since my father's death, the sect has continued to expand, and it has spread to the whole continent, the Leon family has long been no longer in control, and even the current situation of the Holy Spirit Secret Sect is not clear to me." ”
"I hope you don't lie to me." Mu Lan said lightly: "Because you can't run away, have you seen our ability to kill Gadasi?" It couldn't be easier to kill you. ”
"I know, I know." Robert nodded repeatedly.
This is the end of the story, as the population of Herzros continues to dwindle as the hybrids that grow into their final form jump into the water and become members of Gardasi, and as the fishing industry declines, no new immigrants move into the town.
As Robert's father, although Captain Leon Jr. is crazy, he still thinks of a little family affection, he didn't let his children be involved, the Leon family did not mix with Gadasi, but in doing so, the family was forced to kick out the core of the Order, and many more core things, such as how this bottomless abyss appeared, and the origin of the Old Dominator and Gadasi, are unknown.
"It's incredible history." Professor Leonard, who had been listening carefully, muttered, he slowly turned his gaze to the suitcase at Mu Lan's feet, his eyes were staring at him, and then he suddenly said, "Do you know the origin of the silver-white tiara?" ”
"Crown?" Robert frowned, remembered something after a moment, and said, "Are you talking about those silver jewelry with reliefs?" ”
"Yes!" Leonard was most concerned about this tiara, and he immediately said, "Is this from Gadasi?" What is he used for? ”
"It's from Gadasi, and sometimes I see them wearing these things...... Robert thought about it, "I don't know what this thing is for, but the Gadasias occasionally give it to some members of the Order, all of whom are high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Cult, and I don't know what the purpose of this is." ”
"That's right......" Professor Leonard looked down with some regret, and after a moment he thought of something, and his eyes immediately looked at Robert, "Where's Dr. Bourne?" He went to your family half a year ago, but he disappeared! That's what we're here for! ”
"Dr. Bourne?" Robert was a little familiar when he heard the name, then thought for a moment and said, "If it was half a year ago...... My wife was sick once, and I did call a doctor out of town, but he left later......"
"Wait!" Mu Lan immediately said, "Your wife is a mixed race, right?" Didn't the Leon family intermarry with Gadasi? ”
"It's a long story," Robert sighed, "The Holy Spirit Cult controls the town ......of Herzros, and they want everyone to be converted to Gadamia, and I am no exception, even if I am a descendant of Captain Leon......"
"So you got a half-race wife?" Mu Lan said.
"Yes......"
"It doesn't make sense!" Professor Leonard scratched the top of his head, puzzled, "Bourne, he is indeed missing, his last stop after disappearing is the town of Herzross, if this guy is alive, with his serious personality, he will not play such a joke with me." ”
"Did you disappear from the town...... Robert said slowly, "there is another possibility. ”
"I've met him, and he seems to be curious about Herzros and the Leon family, and curiosity is deadly......" Robert looked into the abyss and said, "Don't ask about the rumors in the town, if the Holy Spirit Esoteric Cult finds you, it's over!" ”
Mu Lan followed his gaze and looked down, she still remembered that before the battle with Gadasi just now, the detection spell sensed that there were countless humanoid creatures on the platform below, they were crowded with each other, crawling on the ground.
Robert's voice came from behind him, he looked at the abyss below, and said word by word:
"The Esoteric Cult of the Holy Spirit has been capturing sacrifices for the purpose of summoning their gods on the Day of the Holy Spirit, and in order to catch live human sacrifices, they will do everything they can to kidnap, abduct, poison ......"
"And these living sacrifices are also called pigs."
