Following Eru Lome's advice, Evan wrote down all the content related to the nightmare and asked everyone to participate in the analysis. Originally, he didn't have much hope, after all, this dream was too trivial, and it was extremely difficult to sort it out by himself, and most of the others would only treat it as a dream of a nervous disorder. But what he didn't expect was that someone had found a clue in it, and these detectives were neither qualified nor the brains of the Empire, but a group of priests who focused on studying ancient texts.

The priest at the head is named Cruz, who is nearly two hundred years old and is the most senior scholar in the temple. He is less than 1.6 meters tall, with a long face, sunken cheeks, and a slight pale, dense wrinkles. Perhaps because he had been engaged in the study of ancient documents for a long time, his body was emaciated, his eyes were deep, and his face was bearded, which looked slightly immortal.

In the conference room, the dying old priest made his point with the help of a megaphone while snorting a drip:

"If we study the ancient mythology of Menes, we can find a lot of déjà vu based on King Evan's dreams. In the early dynastic period, Menes once had the legend of killing the god spear, and the specific shape of the magic spear is clear to you. ”

With that, he raised his left hand with great difficulty and glanced at the apprentice standing beside him.

The latter immediately put down the clay tablet wrapped in black cloth in his hand, and after uncovering the black cloth, the simple pattern on the ancient clay tablet was immediately exposed to everyone's eyes. However, because the outline on the clay tablet is so blurred, the onlooker only sees a mess of lines, and they don't know what to say between looking at each other.

At this moment, the apprentice took out a painting from his bosom and placed it next to the ancient clay table: "You may not be able to see anything useful just by looking at the clay tablet, but this is the pattern we have drawn and reproduced, please observe it carefully." ”

Everyone turned their eyes to the painting, which showed two humanoid creatures fighting.

A slightly smaller humanoid creature with crown-like horns on its head, it wields a strangely shaped dark red twin pronged that appears to be held in place by two spears. It gripped the two-pronged halberd in both hands, stabbed it into the chest of the large humanoid, and stomped it into the water.

"It's this spear!

Seeing this scene, Evan got up from his seat excitedly, pointed to the double dendent on the clay tablet, and said with surprise and joy: "I will never forget this strange shape of entanglement and fixation! ”

Then the answer is obvious, this memory is a memory left to you by the ancient kings. ”

Cruz coughed lightly, raised his left hand tremblingly, and pointed to the small humanoid creature on the clay tablet:

"The name of this clay tablet is the Great Red Dragon, and it was originally set in the altar of the ancient temple and was worthy of the highest sacrifices. Under the ravages of a great flood in the early dynastic period, this clay tablet sank into the holy river along with the temple, and was thus sealed in layers of silt and buried for thousands of years.

It was only nineteen years ago that the Holy River reappeared due to the drought...... The meaning contained in it should be to praise the feat of the red dragon killing the evil god. Moreover...... There's also a subtle detail. Your Majesty Evan, please take a closer look, does this humanoid creature with a godkiller spear resemble the silhouette of Ugart, the Lord of Light!?"

"Let me see!"

Ivan reached out and volleyed the clay tablet in the air, and took a closer look at it in his hand. Sure enough, the Eagle Wing-shaped crown ornament unique to the Lord of Light was found, and not only that, but even the spiky impact structure on its shoulder armor and the metal feathers on the back were faintly recognizable.

"Sure enough, it's the Lord of Light! Things are getting more and more interesting...... This dream of mine is indeed the memory of a certain generation of previous kings!" He immediately confirmed the other party's suspicion.

"Then your dream is well explained. In the early dynastic period, the empire must have experienced a similar catastrophe, which spread even more than Menes at that time. In the final battle, Ugart, the Lord of Light, held a god-killing spear and pierced the heart of the evil god, winning the final victory. ”

After saying this, Cruz gasped tiredly and rested for about two minutes before continuing:

"But this battle didn't kill the evil god completely, it only sealed it temporarily...... That's why today's dreadbeasts have wreaked havoc. As for the sound that made you pull out the godkiller spear...... I think it's very strange...... It is impossible to draw conclusions at this time. ”

"You're right. ”

In order to show respect for the wise man, Evan had already used honorifics at this time, and said according to the other party's meaning: "It is possible that the god-killing spear is still curbing the evil god, or it is possible that it is about to be corroded by the evil god, no matter how you understand it, it seems to be no problem." ”

"As Your Majesty said...... Lack of evidence for judgment. Cruz sighed and shook his head, as if tugging at his gut, and let out a series of weak coughs.

Speaking of which. ”

Ivan looked closely at the tablet and noticed that a piece was missing from the lower left corner, and there was an unfinished line of ancient writing on it: "This tablet appears to be damaged...... Elder Cruz, when you found it, did you have this worn? ”

"Yes. ”

Cruz closed his head slightly, looked at the gap in the clay tablet, took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "Although there is a gap, according to the analysis of the remaining words on it and the ancient books of the early dynastic period, the meaning of this sentence should be - all living beings originate from the sea, and can also be destroyed in the ocean. ”

"All living things originate from the ocean, or can they be destroyed in the ocean?"

Ivan looked pensive, looked at the pattern on the clay tablet, and then looked at Cruz: "Mr. Cruz, is there any deep meaning in this?"

"This layer...... I haven't thought of it yet. ”

Cruz shook his head, looked at the ancient clay tablet, and said with a slight hesitation:

"However, I have a conclusion about the sea in the clay tablet painting, which I am not sure of. Although this tablet is not indicated, it is corroborated by additional tablets. According to their records, the ocean is called Uslebaatre, which means Crimson Sea. The strangest thing is that the Crimson Sea is not within the territory of the Empire, or even in this world anymore......"

Because this conclusion is so outrageous, that when he said it, he was obviously very unconfident.

"Where is it!?" Ivan hurriedly asked.

"On the Moon...... I consulted many texts from the early dynastic period, and Uslebaatar was located on the surface of the moon. ”

"...... on the moon?"

Evan gently lowered the stone slab, his dark pupils seemed to ripple, swinging in circles, and finally revealing a sharp essence: "Ugat, the Lord of Light, killed the evil god on the surface of the moon...... No wonder I couldn't find any trace of it, no matter how much I searched!"

One-one-one-one-one-one

After sorting out some clues and making sure that he couldn't dig deeper for a short time, Evan sent Elder Cruz, who was obviously physically exhausted, but the meeting didn't stop there.

"The situation seems to be somewhat clear...... Our search has always been on the surface of Hyperion and has never investigated the surface of the Moon," Karenz clenched the armrest of his seat slightly.

"The crimson sea on the surface of the moon......" The seal squinted his eyes, looked at the clay tablet on the conference table, and sneered, "I don't think it's credible, even if there is water on the surface of the moon, it must be stored in the structure of ice, and there can be no ocean." ”

"The Dreadbeast is a creature that doesn't make sense...... You and I don't know enough to deny everything," the Eye Demon said, shaking his head.

"Is it true or false, let the captain launch a satellite, and take a look at it soon?"

"That's right. Evan was the final word.

"The matter of the satellite, I have already told the Golden Clown to do it when I just sent Mr. Cruz away. ”

Evan stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly in front of him, and suddenly a virtual display appeared in front of him: "It has been lifted off at this moment, and in about half an hour, my exploration satellite will be able to reach the sky above the moon and explore the surface of the earth at close range." Does the Crimson Sea exist, and is the Evil God's Sealed Land there...... All of this will soon be solved!"

......

Half an hour later, the probe satellite successfully arrived over the moon and, through a remote video system, unraveled the mystery of the lunar surface: the gray-brown surface is barren, with only mud and rocks, craters and bulge-like volcanoes.

"As I expected. ”

Seeing this scene, the seal couldn't help but nod his head again and again: "The satellite should look like this, there is no atmosphere and it wants to preserve water to form an ocean...... It's unscientific!"

"What are you anxious about?" Erica glanced at him, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness: "The satellite has just arrived on the moon, and it hasn't gone far yet, at least wait for it to fly around the world before drawing conclusions!"

"That's right. ”

Seeing that everyone was staring nervously at the screen, the seal swallowed his rebuttal and said nothing more rationally.

The pyramid-shaped satellites continue to float in the air, accompanied by high-frequency probes that sweep across the lunar surface at high speeds. The scenery in the picture is monotonous, except for the craters formed by the impact of meteorites, there are only brown earth and large canyons.

Not to mention the ocean, not even a single gram of ice has been detected.

Forty-five minutes later.

"Wait!

The white bear suddenly stood up from his seat, pointed to the corner of the sky on the satellite map, and said quickly: "Do you see it? There are traces of air movement there, like the atmosphere!"

"Calm down, don't make such a fuss, we've all seen it. ”

The seal crossed his fingers, propped his chin, put on a pair of flat glasses that he had gotten out of nowhere, and said in a deep voice: "As I expected, there is no ocean without an atmosphere." Since there are traces of the presence of an atmosphere, it is not unreasonable for the oceans to be formed. ”

"Huh. The white bear couldn't contain a sneer.

"......" Erica also had nothing to say, so she had to continue to roll her eyes in contempt.

At this time, in the picture from the satellite, on the surface of the moon dozens of kilometers ahead, a circle of transparent ripples in the sky can be seen in the distance. Like ripples in the water, the ripples slowly spread in all directions, getting lighter and lighter, but they still covered a considerable area.

"Are you sure this is the atmosphere?" asked the knight quietly.

"I've never seen an atmosphere of this shape, but some oceanographer must have seen it. The Eye Demon matched with cynicism.

"Isn't the atmosphere important, as long as the Crimson Sea exists?" replied the seal, showing his invulnerability, spreading his hands and calmly speaking.

The pyramid-shaped satellite continued to fly, and after about ten minutes, it finally entered the area covered by the ripples. Comparatively speaking, the screen of the conference room finally appeared in an endless sea of blue-black - and the sound of wind formed by the movement of air.

On the surface of this strange ocean, there are stone pillars rising from the ground scattered one after another, as if the beheaded giants are soaked in water, with their backs to the crowd revealing their jagged backbones. At the same time, the darkness and emptiness that pervades the ocean seem to magnetically attract the gaze and perception of the beholder.

“......”

Ivan held his breath and stared intently at this strange ocean, and after a while he got used to its presence.

It didn't take long for the dawn to emerge from the horizon between the vast sea and sky. Brilliant neon lights are like dancing elves, meandering across the sea. The entire sparkling sea reflected the red of the golden light at dawn, like a sea of fire burning on the whole side.

"This is the Crimson Sea, it's not as terrifying as you think. As a veteran diver, the seal couldn't help but move closer to the screen, as if to breathe the air from this sea through the satellite imaging system.

With his words, the originally calm sea water suddenly 'rumbled' and shook, and fell apart faster than everyone imagined. The entire sea surface seemed to have been cut by an invisible blade in an instant, and it immediately split apart, and quickly collapsed downward.

There was a glimmer of blood in the turbid and pale spray, and the jagged stone pillars that had protruded from the water were now only a few sharp reefs protruding from the sea. After the entire ocean sank a few dozen meters, the movement gradually decreased, and the original vastness and emptiness were restored. On the surface of the seawater, there was a large area of turbid plasma, which appeared more viscous under the reflection of the morning glow, and there was a scarlet blood light in the line of sight.

In the process, the starry night sky has long been dispelled by dawn, and a clear pale blue sky covers the sky.

“......”

Ivan's pupils contracted to a point, and the whole person stood up as if he were facing a great enemy, staring at the scarlet sea.

He could feel some unparalleled power lurking beneath the surface, a silent melody from the depths of the ocean that reverberated across the surface of the moon. Combined with the scene burning under the red sun in front of you, it looks like a bloody hell.
