() "Rumble Rumble ......"

The walking corpse mammoth chased the panicked humans and goblins in a frenzy, knocking over an obstacle in their path. A goblin panicked and climbed a tall pillar, only to be knocked off his entire head by the walking corpse mammoth with huge tusks. One of the goblins running at the back screamed in fright, and hurriedly threw away the rucksack, and fled with his hands and feet at a faster speed, but in the end he was smashed into flesh by the trunk of a cedar tree. The three humans who ran at the front were not spared, and soon the doom of the goblins befell them. When the three of them climbed over a piece of decay, a young man running behind stepped on the air and fell down.

"Brother!" the young woman in the middle turned pale as she turned and ran back, trying to save her brother.

"It's too late!" another man grabbed the woman by the waist and dragged her back.

"Save me......" The elder brother, who was lying in the rubble, stretched out his hand helplessly to the two of them, but in the next second, the mammoth's huge house-like foot stepped down, trampling the young man into a pile of flesh.

The woman was devastated by the murder of her brother, but she had no time to grieve, because the walking dead mammoth would not stop until it had killed all the creatures it saw.

This qiē was seen by the partners standing in the middle of the market in the distance.

"Hah, you deserve it. Joyka gloated, "Doing it to herself, this time it's their turn to be a shield." The opportunity is rare, let's hurry up and retreat. ”

"What, are you going to let us die," Sophia was surprised by Joyka's cold-bloodedness.

"Have you forgotten what they did to us?" asked Joyka rhetorically.

"No matter what they have done, as long as they are alive, they must be saved!" Cassius picked up his staff and climbed onto the roof of a house, occupying the best position to cast the spell for the first time.

Ray didn't say anything, and swooped up like an arrow from a string. Sofia gave Joika a disdainful look and ran forward with the cross, Leonard following closely behind. Dani glanced at Joyka and drew her sword and rushed forward.

"Cut! I'm a bad person, okay?" Joyka sighed wryly and shook her head. He then drew his Mithril longsword and rushed towards the behemoth faster than the rest of his companions.

Night has completely fallen. Owen walked alone through the streets of Porfisagagrad.

The traces of the great battle a few days ago have been completely buried by the wind and snow. The thousands of bug-lodged corpses roaming the streets were oblivious to a large living man who walked among them. Owen's telekinetic waves caused the walking dead to mistake him for his own kind, and Owen calmly walked through the pile of walking corpses, heading straight for his destination: the School of Magic.

In fact, the real place Owen is going to is the library in the school of magic. A few days ago, Dani and Leonard had a fierce battle with a group of walking corpses in the library to protect Tina, and there were several headless corpses lying on the floor of the library, as well as a large number of dead black bugs. Owen first found the library's ledger, and according to the ledger, found the location where the history books were stored.

Students usually go to the library to check out books about magic and alchemy, but few books about history are available, so the historical materials in the library are stored in the attic that is not often frequented. In the series of battles a few days ago, the library was severely damaged, and many precious books were destroyed, but the attic was intact, but the books that Owen was looking for were relatively unpopular, so they were relatively intact. Owen rummaged through the attic for half an hour, picking out a few books about demons and the war against demons. Owen returned to the first floor with the book in his hand, picked up the desk and chair that had fallen to the floor, and lit a few candles on the desk to illuminate the library.

The wandering insects and walking corpses outside the library, attracted by the firelight, poured into the library. But Owen treated these unbridled guests as transparent, piled up the few books he found on his desk, and began to flip through them one by one without distraction. Regarding the vigorous demon war 2000 years ago, many historical materials have been revised by successive popes, and they have long been unrecognizable, and now the preservation in the Snowy Federation Library is the closest to the historical facts, but these are of no use to Owen. He rummaged through almost all the books on his desk before finding what he was looking for on one of them. The book was written by a cardinal of the Central Church 1600 years ago, and Owen scooped a copy of the original book in his hand. This book records the biography of a paladin in the later stages of the Demon War, in fact, the information that Owen is looking for is only one page of this biography.

On this page, 1,600 years ago, the cardinal recorded a small incident in which the paladin led his army to fight against demons passed by an ancient ruin, and the knight ordered someone to copy an ancient poem from a stone tablet in the ruins. Because the stele was already broken when it was copied, only a part of the ancient poems were copied. The gist of this little ancient poem is:

“......

Chastity has sunk,

Calm and completely lost,

Generosity becomes a joke,

Self-discipline is stigmatized,

Industriousness is completely degenerated,

Tolerance of misfortune dust,

Humility meets spurn.

The twelve holy wings have lost their brilliance,

Lucifer,

You have made virtue sin.

Fourth, Satan was born.

......”

Although this short ancient poem only has a few lines of Liao Liao, it brings Owen a lot of food for thought.

"Isn't chastity, calmness, generosity, self-discipline, diligence, tolerance, and humility the seven virtues that are the opposite of the seven deadly sins?" After reading the ancient poem, Owen's head raced up, "Since there are demon kings in charge of the seven deadly sins, does that mean that there are also angels in charge of the seven virtues? But how come I have never heard of them? Wait a minute, what does it mean that 'virtue becomes sin'? Could it be that the so-called demon kings of the seven sins are actually the seven angels in charge of the seven virtues?"

The more Owen thought about it, the more confused he became, he closed his eyes, rubbed his temples with his fingers, and when he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on a name he had overlooked in the ancient poem. "Lucifer?, that's a familiar name, where have you heard it......" Owen cupped his forehead, flipping around, and after a few minutes, he suddenly slapped his thigh, "Remember!

It turned out that when Owen was training at the paladin training camp on Key Island, in addition to learning combat skills and knightly ways, he also had to take at least one theology class every week. The course was given by a priest from the Church on the island, and although the content of the lecture was boring, it was very necessary, because the belief in light is the premise and foundation for learning the magic of light. At that time, Owen aspired to become a paladin, so he listened attentively to almost every theological lecture. In one of the lessons, the priest on the stage spoke so loudly that he burst out and said the name of an angel, Lucifer, and mentioned in the following three words that Lucifer was a traitor among the angels, but since that time, Owen has not heard the priest mention this name again.

"Lucifer, if I'm not mistaken, it must be the angelic traitor that the priest said back then. Returning his thoughts from his memories to the present, Owen continued to study the little ancient poem in the book, "What does this sentence mean, 'The twelve holy wings have lost their brilliance'...... Twelve wings, does it refer to the ultimate angel at the top of the angelic class: the Seraph? It seems that this Lucifer was not only a Seraph, but also a rebellious Seraph. No wonder the Holy See is so secretive about this name, the betrayal of an angel is already very shameful, let alone the highest level of the Seraph?"

Just when Owen was thinking about it, the telekinetic wave he released weakened slightly, and an extremely thin living breath leaked out, and a walking corpse immediately rushed to Owen's side and sniffed around him. "Don't get in my way. Owen didn't look back, his right elbow slammed back, and the walking corpse flew sideways. With the distractions out of the way, Owen lifted his gills and re-sorted out all the information.

"If my inference is correct, the Seraphic Angel Lucifer, who once had a high position in the kingdom of heaven, led the seven angels to fall together and fled to the world where the demons lived, and then Lucifer became the fourth Satan among the demons, and the seven angels under him became the later Seven Sins Demon King. I see, I used to think that the Demon King of the Seven Sins was the ruler of the demon clan, and it seems that I was wrong. The so-called Seven Sins Demon King is nothing more than the lord equivalent to the human world, and above it there is a higher level of existence called 'Satan', and the so-called Satan should be the demon monarch. ”

Then, a series of questions arose in Owen's mind: "As the ancient poem says, Lucifer is the fourth Satan, so before him, there were three Satans in the demon clan." Who could be the three Satans who originally existed? When I suppressed the demon's blood in the ice cave, the name 'Mephistopheles' kept flashing in my head, what was the meaning of it? Could this Mephistopheles be one of the three Satans?"

In order to confirm his inference, Owen carefully searched the historical materials. However, he re-read all the books twice, but could not find any mention of the name "Mephistopheles".

Alas, ...... "It wasn't until all the candles burned out that Owen had to give up, and he reluctantly closed the book, "There is too little useful information, only an incomplete ancient poem...... It seems that to find the most detailed information, it is necessary to go to the National Library of the 'Silver Yama Seat'. ”.
