Chapter 195: Jerusalem Archives
At the Jerusalem Archives, the first rays of the morning sun shine through the carved arched floor-to-ceiling windows on the mahogany table in front of Pissarro.
Bissarama, with his short gray beard, sits upright in the morning light, calm and graceful, like a master of meditation. He looked at a file on the table in front of him, pondering.
After receiving Qin's report, the Nenshi learned part of the history of the Snow Country, and an important piece of information: about a hundred years ago, there was a Nenshi Pathfinder who had gone deep into the heart of the Snow Country and had a conflict with the Snow King.
Spread out in front of Pissarro at this time was the file of the teacher. - To be exact, it should be the Divine Master, because he belongs to the New Divine Cult. But at that time, all capable people in Jerusalem were called nurturing teachers, and the people of the New God Church did not yet consider themselves divine nurturing teachers.
He is an Adept from Ancient Europe, named X, who is a pathfinder and adventurer like Elvi. There are only a few descriptions of him, and the archives contain only his portrait and fragments of his travelogues.
One hundred years ago, during the most difficult and chaotic period in Jerusalem, the Church of Remembrance and the Protestant Church fought over the ownership of Jerusalem, and the operation of the archives was greatly affected, so many people's materials were not archived. It's hard to find this information.
From the fragments of his travelogue, it can be deduced that he went to the Eastern World alone to explore and recruit new people, and on the Zhongzhou Continent, there are many Dao signs that are written by him. But in the process of leaving the Zhongzhou mainland to continue his journey eastward, he disappeared.
At that time, Jerusalem did not have such a powerful institution and function to trace his whereabouts. Now it seems that he died in the mysterious island country of the east, Yunlai in the Snow Country.
His description of Yunlai was incomplete, and he could only vaguely distinguish a few simple sentences, such as "See...... The children of the Heavenly Sword family are very backbone", "There is an ancient witchcraft in the local area that can make people go crazy and obey orders...... It is used to train the dead, but the method is very complicated, and it is necessary to cultivate the target from an early age......", "The passages left by them when they dig are in all directions, and even cover ......"
But from these few words, it is impossible to see why he had a dispute with the Snow King, and why he wanted to "replace the Snow King as king". And how was it killed by the "wizards" of a small country. - Pathfinders generally have a high level of force, and there are many means of self-preservation, how can a Nian master who has been systematically trained in telekinesis be easily killed in a mountainous land where the knowledge of telekinesis is not popular?
Pissarro opened the second file below, the file of a man named "Lonely". This is the file of a teacher from twenty years ago, and according to other contemporaneous reports, this person is the second person to have been to Snow Country after the previous one. Moreover, he had a battle with the ancient local armed forces in the Snow Country, which was known locally as the "Cloud Peak Gambling Battle". In other people's reports, the gamble was written in a miraculous way, and some people said that it was a close battle, with both sides gambling everything they had, and in the end Nian Shi narrowly won. Others say that it was a one-sided crushing battle, and that some of Shira's actions were unethical, so it was controversial. It is also said that Lone won by subterfuge because he was actually a researcher in Jerusalem, not a combatant.
There are different opinions, and there is no consensus.
Twenty years ago, the battle between the Sanhedrin and the Protestant Church had been settled, and the system of administration in Jerusalem had been perfected, and it stands to reason that this file should be more detailed and accurate than it was a hundred years ago. From his file it should be possible to find out the truth of the matter.
But when Pissarro opened his file, he was surprised to find that his file was empty.
There was only a blurry portrait in the empty folder. In the portrait, he is a typical Oriental, and there seems to be a bit of resemblance to snow marks between his eyebrows and eyes.
Why is there a blank archive? The archives in Jerusalem are as heavily guarded as the Jerusalem Bank. What is even more interesting is that the names of these two people mean "nothingness and illusion", except that one is named in a Western way, and the other is Eastern.
Pissarro had a vague feeling that the problem was starting to get complicated, and that all the information about the island nation was shrouded in a veil of mystery. It's as if there's a force in the shadows, trying to hide some huge secret.
Pissarro stood up and walked to the sunny bed, Jerusalem was getting busy in the early morning, the NPCs began to work, more and more people had the ability to consciously leave the body and enter the city, and the whole city woke up like a giant.
He cast his gaze to the distant sky and said to himself, "What the hell is going on where you are?"
