Chapter 35: Convergence (6)

Faust scolded in his heart, Pacian, you want this thing?

Moreover, this ** is also particularly evil - Faust tries not to count how many different bone spurs and lines there are, and how many slender synapses and sarcomas there are, even if he ignores the lewd and obscene shape, it is enough to appreciate its distortion and evil.

People often think that evil is just a description of certain social behaviors, but in fact this is not entirely true, there is pure evil in the world.

Whether it's the Abyss, the Nine Hells, or some other lesser-known outer plane, evil is its eternal theme. Everything there is done without good intentions, and every tool can serve as the most evil instrument or weapon of torture.

Among them, the most evil species are collectively known as "demons", and according to the characteristics they represent, they are subdivided into different categories such as "devils" and "demons".

Unlike tigers, lions, or poisonous snakes that are accused of being "evil" because their habits or appearance do not conform to human aesthetics, these monsters of the outer plane are born with malice, and their existence means evil.

And this disgusting organ is mostly from some powerful demon, and the evil on it is almost overflowing - Faust does not reject evil, what he calls "evil" often refers specifically to "chaotic evil".

Faust endured his nausea, approaching the demon's stump step by step, making Faust feel doubly disgusted with each step he took to get closer to the filthy thing.

"Damn, I can't stand it. Five paces away from the stone platform, Faust finally gave up on approaching, the demon's limbs were so disgusting that they even caused Faust's physical discomfort.

Faust trotted briskly to the edge of the room and took a deep breath of fresh air - not much fresh, in fact, the forces of chaos and evil had soaked the small stone chamber.

"Hmm...... In that case, let's start with these gold plates. Faust said to himself, since he didn't want to touch that disgusting organ for the time being, it would be better to start with gold, which is more pleasing to the eye in comparison.

Faust began to examine the gold carefully...... And the document above.

The architecture of this stone chamber is very simple, with no patterns or ornamentation, almost entirely composed of the simplest geometric figures, and the precision of the work is incredible – except for the walkable floor, the walls in the other five directions can be used as mirrors.

There was no light source in the room, only a torch lit by Faust, but the faint light of the fire reflected through the walls illuminated every corner of the room.

Faust fastened the torch to the wall, and by the light, slowly approached the gold plate.

The text on the gold plate is almost the same as the ancient books in Toadman's library, but the lines are straighter, and some of the twists are sharp, but they don't interfere with reading.

Faust has learned a lot of words these days, so he can barely understand the above content, this gold plate roughly describes a sacrifice full of blood, torture and *** - if Faust guessed correctly, most of the object of sacrifice is the original owner of the thing placed on the stone platform.

It didn't take long for Faust to finish reading the gold plate. Then, based on the context, he quickly determined the order in which the gold plates were to be arranged—the first plate was in the middle of the wall facing Faust when he entered the stone chamber, and the reading order rotated clockwise until the last gold plate was connected to the first one.

Faust stood in front of the first gold plate, darling through its contents, and as he read, he subconsciously walked around the stone chamber.

Engraved on the gold plate is not a proverb or an aphorism, but a story that is plain and plainly written, but very precise—a work of non-fiction rather than a narrative poem that should be found in such a tomb.

Faust shrugged, there were so many things that were out of the ordinary here - like the simple tombs of the near future, the ** of demons, and even those zombies that were unusually powerful...... In short, a press release-style epitaph isn't enough to make Faust jump in surprise.

Faust continued to read this unadorned press release-style epitaph, the contents of the gold plate were not too much, and the content was too little, and Faust read it for half an hour, and finally read all the gold plates.

He breathed a sigh of relief, the article was not complete, there were other contents ahead, Faust speculated that it should be distributed among the other five burial chambers, and the contents of the six burial chambers together were the complete story.

The part of this chamber is supposed to be the end of the story. It is to the effect that a female general of the ancient empire, who is the protagonist of the story, participated in the evil sacrifice of the demons, and was broken by the emperor at the height of the sacrifice, and she begged the emperor to forgive her, and bitterly confessed the bewitchment and foolery she had suffered......

In the end, the emperor remembered the intimacy between the two and her great military exploits, and finally forgave her.

But this is not the end of the matter, His Majesty the Emperor has immense power, he personally went to the abyss, killed the demon, brought its remains back to the royal capital, and sealed the main six parts of it in the labyrinth.

"So...... This is actually the tomb of the devil?" muttered Faust.

That way, everything will be clear. Faust straightened his back confidently, this general Baba Yaga - the female general in the story, Faust also saw this name in the historical chronology, and it may not have happened at that time - it is very likely that this is the "traitor" that Daddy Regba said, and Daddy Legba is of course this His Majesty the Emperor.

Of course, there won't be one explanation, but now all the clues point to this fact, the broken history books, the sealed demigods, and the Baba Yaga who connects the two.

Faust believed in the evidence, so he felt that it was very likely that this was the truth of the matter.

But Faust doesn't have the pleasure of finding out the truth, because the story also tells how Baba Yaga rebelled against the Emperor's repression, and Baba Yajia was only slightly less powerful than the Emperor himself, and maybe even comparable to the demons she sacrificed.

Based on the style of the article, Faust thinks it's very likely - and now, the sealed Legbar is a demigod, so what about Baba Yaga, who can seal him?

Faust did not dare to think about it, and the thought of having to face such a mythical character made him tremble.

"Tick, tick, tick......" In the dim space, only the sound of water droplets never stops.

Suddenly, a pair of dim eyes opened, radiating a faint light that pierced the darkness of the room.

The light was followed by a dry female voice, which at first heard it reminded of shriveled lips and a huge hooked nose, and perhaps unkempt white hair and a dirty black cloak.

She didn't seem to have spoken for a long time, not only was her voice weak and hoarse, but her choice of words and sentences was quite strange, "You go...... Nanali, you go to the south, south of the border, the former capital of the First Empire, I feel it, the power of rebellion against the Grand Duke...... His grave has been opened, go and bring the man. ”

"Do as you command, First Witch. ”
