Hao Ren originally thought that a "spirit detective" like Pierre, who wandered on the edge of the magical realm, would not have any good way to get information, so he didn't pay much attention to what Pierre told him. After all, this kind of person is only equivalent to the scavenger of the mysterious world, and all they can contact is the shallow knowledge that the aliens disdain, and even the demon hunters are not very interested in this kind of people who wander between humans and aliens, but Hao Ren obviously ignores one point: there are many things that have escaped the strangulation of the witchers after the "collapse of myths", and the final flow of this kind of things happens to be in the hands of those humans who are not paid much attention to by various forces.

It's just that the number of these scattered legacies is really scarce, and the distribution is really messy, and in the modern era of the complete decline of occult doctrine, no one has sorted it out.

Someone like Pierre certainly doesn't know much about the alien world in general, and his explanation of "Myth Collapse" is a deception made up by the mystical scholars who are talking about the gods, but the "Roulette of the Sun" he mentions is probably a real thing, because he mentions the keyword "shadow of the wrath", which makes it hard not to think of the mysterious shadows that cause fighting.

"What is a roulette sun?" Vivien also became interested in the term, and she asked curiously.

Pierre took a crumpled scroll from his bag and carefully spread it out on the table by the dim light: "This scroll is so precious that I found it in an underground palace in Egypt and almost cost my life for it...... I believe this thing depicts the roulette of the sun. ”

Hao Ren and Vivien approached curiously at the same time. They saw that the scroll was black and yellow, and had a parchment-like texture, with obvious burnt marks on the edges of the scroll. This scroll, which has been around for an unknown number of years, depicts a beautiful disc-shaped object. The disc surface is covered with a circle of mysterious patterns, and in the center of the pattern there is a round hole that looks like a groove or hole. Lines representing sunlight are also drawn around the disc. Hao Ren noticed that the corners of the disc also depicted two standing ancient Egyptians, a man and a woman, seemed to describe the dimensions of the disc in terms of human height. If this scale is correct, the disc should be ten meters high.

Next to the disc pattern, you can see a few passages written in ancient Egyptian script, most of which are no longer legible because they are in the charred part of the scroll, and all that can be read are a few messy phrases: "The light wheel of the sun...... Gods and beasts...... Repression and punishment. ”

It seems to be the kind of spell that the gods are chattering about in ancient times.

"Do you see that? It is very exquisite, and according to the age of this scroll, such a beautiful picture is simply impossible, and the Egyptians of that period did not have this kind of painting technique. And they haven't made any of this kind of paper," Pierre blushed as he pointed to the details on the scroll, "but it's indeed ancient Egyptian writing, so it's supposed to be left by an 'awakened person' who has acquired mystical knowledge, probably similar to an ancient spirit detective." In addition, if you look at the surface of the disk, you can also see some traces of pale gold, which used to be smeared with gold dyes, and I analyzed the composition of these pigments and found that they contained gold. There is a peculiarity of ancient Egyptian painting. That is, they will faithfully color the things on the picture, and the more important the things, the more so. So we can judge the ethnicity and the region of the people in the Egyptian frescoes based on the skin color of the characters in the paintings, and Joseph's colorful clothes find clues in this case...... Oh, it doesn't matter. ”

"Gold pigments? This is indeed not a technique that the Egyptians of that era would use on scrolls," Vivien became more interested in the topic, "so the material of this disc may be gold?" ”

"Such a gigantic golden creation. And it's so beautiful, and more importantly, it's associated with words like 'sun' and 'god', which is undoubtedly the wheel of the sun. Pierre nodded vigorously, "Humans in those days couldn't make such things. You can't imagine it, so only 'Tara' can create this artifact. As far as I know, the Sun Roulette is a huge golden device. The symbols on it depict very advanced magical mysteries, and are the key tools used by the Tara to suppress the Shadow of Wrath......"

Hao Ren interrupted him: "As far as you know, what is the Shadow of God's Wrath?" ”

"There is a legend among the spirit detectives that the land was ruled by gods in ancient times, and that the gods that have become myths today were real, such as Odin and Zeus—these gods were very powerful, but they were not invincible, because their arrogance led to a catastrophe that befell them, the shadow of the wrath. The shadow of the god's wrath is the dark side of the gods' hearts, an unstoppable shadow force, this shadow descends from the depths of the universe to the earth, tearing through the spiritual defenses of those ancient gods, causing all kinds of scuffles. As the problem worsened, the gods rallied and asked the Tara clan, also from the dark depths, to create an artifact, the Sun Wheel. The Sun Roulette is forged in sunlight and therefore effective against the dark forces of the Shadow of the Wrath, and the most powerful warriors of the gods join forces in a fierce battle in the sea of clouds west of Mount Olympus, driving the Shadows of the Wrath to the Sun Roulette and finally sealing them inside the wheel. But in the end, the battle turned out to be disgraceful......"

"Dishonorable things?" Hao Ren was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

"The power of the Sun Roulette was so powerful that the gods were greedy, and they tried to get their hands on it under the pretext that they wanted to help take care of the seals, so after the battle caused by the Shadow of the Wrath ended, they began a melee driven by greed......"

Vivien pouted suddenly: ", how can they fight when I'm here." ”

Pierre was dumbfounded: "Huh? ”

"Well, leave her alone," Hao Ren awkwardly distracted Pierre, "just say it, it's best to treat us as ordinary people, I'm curious to know what the various versions of legend are in your supernatural detective circles." ”

Pierre's expression moved strangely, and when he spoke, he always forgot the identities of the two people in front of him, but as soon as he calmed down, he remembered that these two people were the "insiders" of those bizarre myths and stories in his mouth, and a strong sense of disobedience came over him. But he still suppressed the feeling back: "The legend goes that the gods fell into a second battle, but there was no winner in this battle, and the sun wheel suddenly burst out with a force that severely injured all the gods who did it, and then they realized that no one could harness the power of the wheel, and only Tara, these 'gods' from the dark deep space, were the most powerful." Eventually, the roulette wheel was given to Tara for safekeeping, and the Tara people kept the wheel in their golden estate, if yes, the land beneath our feet. ”

Pierre's account came to an end, and Hao Ren began to sort out the information he had just obtained.

The myths and legends that have been passed down to mankind are often distorted, but Pierre's account can still be partially adapted to Vivien's memories and Hesperis's description. The "Tara" in the story is undoubtedly the Ancatero family, who have recently lost contact with each other, this family was not very active in the mythological era, but now it seems that they belong to a powerful but unworldly group, and the Shadow of God's Wrath refers to the Shadow of Chaos. The fact that the spirit detectives believe that Tara is from the dark depths of the universe is probably a fallacy, perhaps the people of Tara know that they are from an alien planet in another universe, and this statement has been passed down to "dark deep space".

At present, the biggest difference between the "Spirit Detective Version" and the "Alien Family Version" is that there is an additional Sun Roulette.

That thing seems to be the key ingredient in sealing the Shadow of Chaos.

"Do you remember making anything like this?" Hao Ren glanced at Vivien, "Or I've seen something like that." ”

"I don't remember," Vivien shook her head, "but we should have sealed the Shadow of Chaos in something: it was an invisible shadow that had to be sealed into something tangible to be controlled. ”

"Even Hesperith and Wayne don't know about this roulette, but fortunately we met this spirit detective, otherwise we might have missed the most crucial things after entering Ancatero territory," Hao Ren sighed, "But do you think it's appropriate to let this spirit detective continue to move?" ”

Vivien shook her head: "His fanatical pursuit of knowledge is quite admirable, but it's better not to entangle this person, he has a heart after all...... Who?! ”

In the middle of Vivien's words, her eyes suddenly flickered, staring at the corner of the room and whispering, the air around her was immediately filled with sharp ice cubes. And after her words fell, something suddenly appeared in the corner of the room that was originally empty.

A handful of silvery-white flames rose from the ground and gradually formed the form of a human being, and the white-haired girl who came out of the flames greeted Vivian and Hao Ren, "Long time no see." ”

Hao Ren was taken aback: "Defeat?!" ”

“…… It's a white fire ......" (to be continued......
