Chapter 168: The Detective's Discovery

The Serpent of Eternity?

The archetype of all things? Mysterious origins? The King of Magic?

Inspector Lestrade vaguely felt that these concepts were somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and stare carefully at the wall behind the man on the stage in the distance, all the while looking at the huge metal ring embedded in the wall.

- This is a snake biting its own tail......

After all, he is already old, and his memory is definitely not as good as before, so Inspector Lestrade always feels that there are some vague thoughts, and he can even be sure that there are relevant records in some of the materials he has only seen and contacted in the past two months.

— but he just couldn't remember.

Because of the "Baker Street Demon", in the past two months, he has been like everyone else, and he has begun to desperately rummage through relevant information and consult experts and scholars......

It wasn't that he became interested in the occult, but he also had a strange mind about heretical beliefs and cruel worship, trying to master the power of evil and gain the health, life, and glory he needed......

He just felt that he had to understand the details of the enemy's situation based on his own professionalism.

However, before he came into contact with the occult, he didn't have any related concepts at all, he just thought that witchcraft wizards or something, that's what it is.

And after he really came into contact with it, he realized that the occult was such a vast subject, astrology, tarot, spirituality, alchemy, psychics, semiotics, heraldry, kabbalah, occultism...... As vast as a sea of smoke, it may be difficult for ordinary people to thoroughly grasp all the knowledge in one aspect in their lifetime.

How so? It's like going to the library to look up materials in a related field, and when the administrator brings in hundreds of books in one go, and you are terrified, he kindly tells you that these are just catalogue indexes.

In all fairness, Inspector Lestrade has indeed worked hard, and the attitude he shows is not just for show, but really trying to hunt down the evil wizard of "Baker Street Demon......

He was one of the few people in Scotland Yard who was fully worthy of his share of the salary.

But no matter how hard he tried, his age still determined that his memory was not as good as before.

Moreover, the large amount of reading in the mode of swallowing dates can only leave an extremely superficial impression on many occult related knowledge, and there is no deep memory and in-depth understanding at all.

“…… He is the only attainer, the symbol of perfection, the symbol of the world, the symbol of eternity and infinity, the one and the whole, the lower as the above, the upper as the bottom, and thus the miracle of the One is accomplished......"

“…… He is the Sovereign Ruler over all things, over all things, and the past, present, and future of the universe are in His great Body......"

Inspector Lestrade thought to no avail, and the man on the stage was still impassionedly making some blasphemous remarks, which were very harsh to listen to, and he couldn't help frowning, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable.

He was not a Christian through and through, and his faith was not at the level of a fanatic, and he could not help but complain when he found that the criminals were rampant and even the streets near the church had become the scene of murders.

After all, if God is so powerful and merciful, why should he turn a blind eye to such things?

However, religious belief is religious belief, which is a subtle spiritual belief that may not be religiously in ordinary times, but it does not mean that you can turn a blind eye when others desecrate your faith.

Maybe it can't be said to be a kind of faith, it's more like a culture, whether a person believes it or not, as long as he is born in such an environment, he will naturally be influenced and influenced...... It's probably like school, it's okay to complain yourself, but others can't scold.

However, Inspector Lestrade is still very sensible, although he is uncomfortable, but he is not stupid enough to jump out at this time to express his opposition.

He didn't have his hands tied, but there were also two black-robed cultists wearing wooden masks standing beside him, both of whom looked like strong men, and both of them were more than 1.8 meters tall, feeling like the kind of people in charge of guarding.

Even when he was younger, Inspector Lestrade didn't think he could compete with one or the other, let alone two......

He hadn't forgotten how he had been caught, the man had just punched him so violently that he lost consciousness.

And during his incarceration, he seemed to have heard the guards talking, saying that who had passed the mutation potion level, became a trainee wizard, and got the oak mask.

And they are still feeling that although the process of transforming the body of the mutant potion is very painful, once they are passed, they will get strength and physique that are different from ordinary people, and the most important thing is that this proves that they have a hidden magical talent.

However, the difficulty of learning the occult course also made them wonder if they really had hidden magical talents, and envied those nobles, landlords, industrialists, etc., as soon as they joined the organization, they could get a node quota to access the magic web.

It seems that in their opinion, this is a very jealous thing, and Inspector Lestrade doesn't know what to envy, so he can only speculate based on the information he has-

Maybe it's because once you access that "magic net", you can directly obtain the power of witchcraft magic, and you don't need to worry about learning difficulties and can't master it?

To be honest, such an inference is really ridiculous.

But no matter how much he struggled, Inspector Lestrade, who had witnessed the clay golem, decided to accept these strange things and speculate from the perspective of acknowledging the occult.

He wasn't just locked up for two days, he was also trying to test the information, for now, he already knew that the name of this organization was "Golden Dawn", it was a magical association organization, and the founder behind it was the "Baker Street Demon", an evil wizard.

The members of this magical association seem to be divided into different classes, with the evil knowledge and power of witchcraft and magic, as well as social assets such as money and housing as a link of interests.

As far as he could see, there seemed to be four classes, and judging from the silk edges of the black robe, it seemed to be from white to green, to blue, and then to purple. And judging from the masks, it seems to be from oak masks to iron masks, to silver masks and gold masks......

- I don't mention how this system is divided, but it is clearly classified, and it has a very secret association style.

It is said that every person wearing a black burqa with purple silk trim and a gold mask on his face is a true core member, and they are all people who have been connected to the "magic net".

And on top of this, there are other elder seats, that is probably the capitalists among the capitalists, the positions that the nobles of the aristocracy are qualified to occupy, it is said that a total of fourteen seats have been set, and there are already nine seats that have been occupied.

All of this made Inspector Lestrade feel extremely terrifying and unbelievable.

He had been quietly observing the room several times, though almost everyone except him was wearing a black burqa and a mask to disguise his identity. But some people's body movements and habitual behaviors can still allow him to identify and lock on the identities of several familiar suspects.

Without exception, those are well-known gentlemen or wealthy men in the city of London who have dealt with them a few times on weekdays, with strong financial resources, high positions, and interpersonal relationships are like spider webs. It can be said that behind everyone who stands up, there is a looming force that cannot be ignored.

But such gentlemen and rich people are mostly wearing silver masks, not even gold.

If all this is true, how powerful is this damn Golden Dawn organization? Even if this force is directly exposed, Queen Victoria won't dare to do it directly against them, right?

The most terrifying thing is that even though they are already so powerful, they are still developing in a low-key manner, and if they have not begun to absorb the middle class and the people at the bottom of the society, so some traces have been exposed, Inspector Lestrade would not even be able to catch their tails at all, and there would be absolutely no chance to know how far they have developed.

So, what exactly are they trying to do? What are you trying to do?

The thought of this question made the inspector feel chills all over his body, and he stared at the man on the stage, trying to see something.

The other party should be the "Baker Street Demon", because he is the only one who does not wear a mask among the people present, except for Inspector Lestrade, and the detective who had a relationship two months ago also has a vague impression.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a weapon now, and the distance is too far, and there are still two guards around him watching, so he doesn't have a chance at all. Otherwise, you can take a gamble and see if you can kill this evil wizard by surprise......

Inspector Lestrade thought this with some regret.

At this moment, the impassioned speech seemed to have come to an end, and thunderous applause suddenly resounded throughout the audience, almost tearing down the dome and echoing in the underground hall.

"I'm sorry, Lord Smith......"

As the applause faded, a man in a golden mask raised his hand and asked in a very earnest voice.

"No offense, but what you just said...... Well, the Serpent of Eternity is so great, so will He really respond to us little believers? ”

The speaker was probably a middle-aged man, probably in his forties, and it could be seen that when he said this, he seemed very cautious and quite cautious in his choice of words and sentences.

Not only was he worried that he would leave a bad impression on the powerful wizard and make the other party suspect that he was questioning his words, but he was also really worried that the great god he had just described was a real existence.

If he really has supreme power, far-reaching, and beyond everything, then if he is careless, will he offend Shenwei?

Therefore, the man originally subconsciously wanted to ask if this was true and whether the Eternal Serpent really existed, but he felt that this was inappropriate, so he quickly changed his words and asked, thinking that the other party was so great, would he really pay attention to himself and other small mortals.
