Chapter 436: Secret
About fifteen seconds passed, the light on the instrument plate turned from red to green, and the iron cores embedded in the thick wall in the door were retracted one by one, and the certification was successful, Miss Aoi, the head of the knights of the second sub-regiment, and the female voice of the machine said in a magnetic tone, and at the same time, the heavy iron door in front of it rumbled upwards and opened.

The smell of old was blowing in her face, and Aoi walked in, a place she had never set foot in since she was the head of the regiment, although the second sub-regiment was in charge of management, it was more appropriate to say that it was safekept, this was a top-secret archive area, and no one could enter it casually, if there was any very special person who had the right to enter at will, then only the person who stood in the highest position, that is, the chief knight of the Knights.
In other words, for a hundred years, this room, only Ang Ogudo, was able to step freely, like a secret hut that belonged to him.
But with the fall of a generation of legends, this room, which seems to represent the top secret, will no longer be mysterious, the secret will be broken, and everything that is hidden will be known to more people.
"You called me?" Aoi stepped into the house, which was dimly lit, and someone was already in the house.
She couldn't help but look around, because it was also the first time she had entered the interior, huge bookshelves were attached to the inner wall surrounded by columns, on which were placed all kinds of documents, some were sealed and marked against opening, some were more like relics of unknown origin, some of the yellowed pieces of paper were placed in the corner of the bookshelf alone, and I didn't know what was written on the thin pieces of paper.
"I need someone to know this secret with me," Cangdu temporarily put down the file in his hand and massaged the tip of his nose and said, as if he suddenly saw too many things that were difficult to accept and digest, and needed to relieve his exhaustion, "I don't think I can become Aung Ogudo after all, and naturally, I can't be a person who talks about everything in my heart." β
"It's going to go crazy. Cangdu turned his head, and Aoi saw him with a wry smile.
When Aung Ogudo was still in power, he proposed the establishment of this archive, and stipulated that no one should be allowed to enter freely, and that his permission was the only key to open the door, and that even the head of the regiment, who was in charge of all the information, was not allowed to access the secrets.
"In short, congratulations on your appointment as the new chief knight, and you can't call Cangdu the head casually in the future. Aoi said as she approached.
"Don't be like this, I suddenly have such a heavy burden on my shoulders, I haven't reacted yet," Cangdu shrugged, but his face was serious, "but I've already carried it, then I know I have to work hard to do it well." β
"Are you ready?"
"It's done, a second after taking over this responsibility," Cang Du handed the document in his hand to Aoi's hand, "As early as before, at the tea party with Old Man Ang, he hinted a lot that if one day any of the juniors he fancies inherited his position, he would come in here to learn everything, of course, being personally appointed by him as the new chief knight, he already has a strong psychology to accept all this, let's say it first, I'm not boasting." β
When Aoi received the document, it had already been turned on a page that she needed to see, this part of the paper had been wrinkled and yellowed, full of time marks, presumably when recording these words, many years had passed since now, Aoi recognized that this was Ang's handwriting, every word and every symbol, this record was written by him alone, and the copywriting to be passed every day was countless, and a large part of it was handled by the clerical staff, and what really passed through Ang's hands was the most important, and like this, it was all from Ang's hand from writing to sorting, more like he wrote and sealed it alone in order to hide everyoneγ
The corner of the document marks the time, decades ago, and Aoi simply calculated that at that time, the war was just entering the later stages.
"'The Dusk Valley Incident'?" Aoi frowned at the title, I remember that the valley was a forbidden area full of rumors, and it didn't exist before, but one day later, the blood piled up in the nameless valley somewhere, and then the sky really turned red, and some people said that there was a terrible massacre there, and the daylight realm was defeated in the middle of the war, and the angry soldiers, afraid of the pressure from above, sent into the valley a large number of soldiers who had not achieved important merits, and then rained arrows and magic, mercilessly and indiscriminately. β
The Valley of Dusk is called the Valley of Dusk precisely because there is a scene in that valley that the moon and night realm would never have, and dusk, which is a phenomenon that only appears in the daytime realm where the sun exists. Later generations also said that it was a relic left by the war, and it was the only physical proof that the Daylight Realm had invaded the border of the Moon Night Realm.
"Indeed, the appearance of the Twilight Valley was during the war, and I was not even born at that time, and I was only young at that time, so I was not too young at that time," Aoi continued to flip through, and the more she looked at it, the more shocking it became, "What is recorded here here is ......"
"The truth is that there was indeed a massacre there, but it was not the soldiers of the Daylight Realm who died, but our Moon Night Realm," Cangdu said, "A group of secret troops who were personally accepted and trained by Old Man Ang, in those days, unlike non-commissioned officers like me, who could directly obtain the right to enlist in the army, too many children were one of the struggles of hunger and cold. β
"A special force of dozens of people, and this team, whether it is the leader or the full soldiers, are all children who want to survive from the pain of that era, and the oldest is not an adult," Aoi held the document with unconsciously force, the side of the paper was pinched and deformed, and at the end of the document was a list of those people, "Daus Rocco, Dick, Wipp White, Annemes Carro, ......" One by one, she pronounced the most eye-catching names of them, the bounty criminals who had been wanted in the Moonlit Night Realm for years.
She felt a little ironic that those criminals who were feared and hated by the world were actually knights who fought for the whole country and people during the war, and even martyrs who died for victory.
But the former soldiers have become criminals of the crisis country.
When she saw the name of Born Cowyd again, her fingertips lingered on the underside of the line, and her lips were quietly pursed.
"The people on this list must have all passed away, but only a few of them survived quietly," Aoi reasoned, "Why is this happening, if they survived, shouldn't they have returned to the camp with information, but why did they just silence and hide themselves in the outside world, and then appear in the world as a new threat at the end of the war?"
"Old man Ang has always known that those wanted criminals are his cherished subordinates and children in the past," said Cangdu, "but he kept everything hidden, and everyone knew that there was such a group of fugitive criminals, but they did not know that they were also worthy of respect in the past." β
"That man, why would he do such a thing? I can't believe that such a man has such a side. Aoi said, but when she said it, she wanted to withdraw again, not long ago, she also watched one of the leaders of the regiment who had been with each other for a few years, judge in front of herself, what else could not be accepted?
So she exhaled deeply, not letting her mind get trapped in endless doubts and thoughts, as if she wanted to let all the incomprehension flow away with a sigh.
"That person who is serious and fair, whose existence symbolizes the rules and order of steel, will also have such a side, how to say it, it is the selfish side, and it may also be the tender side, although I am a little irresponsible to say this, but it is better to know this matter, I can accept Old Man Ang himself better, which will make him look more like a flesh-and-blood person, rather than an iron rule, people will have heartache, rules will not, it will only crucify people," Cangdu stretched out his finger and pointed at the names of those people," There was some up-to-date handwriting on it, their names crossed out, naturally confirmed dead during the previous Silent Court incident, and their bodies were still in custody. β
"I have never figured out the reason why they did so much, what exactly this group wants, their actions are unreasonable and even crazy," Aoi shook her head, "If it is ridiculous but understandable that they chose to act like that in order to resist the Silent Court and the Knights, because they were not in danger in the first place, but they chose to act like that, and all of them jumped into the fire pit from which they will never recover." β
She continued to flip through the pages, on the last page of this list, is the name of the team leader, originally like this introduction, the leader will be put first, but this article is completely opposite, as if the existence of this person, placed in the whole incident, is a secret in secrets, and it needs to be hidden in the deepest depths.
"Sora, this person is!" Aoi called out in surprise, but what was really surprised was not the true face of this person, but the speculation about this character and the real identity behind him recorded by Ang Shu on the side.
"The following is also my personal thoughts, about the old man, why did he step down from his position as chief knight, although it was very abrupt, maybe he was also tired of it, but there was still a fuse," Cangdu stretched out his hand and helped Aoi close the file, as if telling her that these things had been witnessed for the time being, "He was just guilty, and it was also out of concern for the future of the Moon Night Realm, and he wanted to make a decision about this matter himself." β
"And he doesn't plan to come back, he's going to choose and stay there forever," Aoi swallowed, "That's why he stepped down from his position, because he couldn't continue to hold the position when he wasn't there." β
She suddenly understood the meaning of the task that the man had given her personally before he left office not so long ago.
"Let's get to know these things first, that's not the main reason why I want you to come, for me, these documents are more like a cover-up itself, although they are all classified, but they just happen to have a place like this to be placed, and they are all used as a cover to hide what this room was built to really hide. Cangdu said, walking to the depths of the room, and beckoning to Aoi, who followed in confusion.
"I just said, to become a chief knight, you must have a strong psychological acceptance, and you must be super powerful, and it is also true to say that these are not boasts and jokes," Cangdu stood in front of the wall, taking a few deep breaths with full concentration, and tidying up his clothes and clearing his throat, all his actions were not coherent, and even did not match the person's own personality, he was just nervous, so at a loss that he didn't know what mood to face everything he was about to see again," I'm going to tell the other captains too, but now isn't the best time, Rhine, you know, it's a little weird, even if you tell him all this, he probably still has that expression, he doesn't show surprise or express his feelings to you, and Senya, she's the youngest of us, I'm not sure she'll be able to accept everything well, so I chose you, you're a very strong woman, Silver, oh sorry, it's time to call you Aoi, then Aoi Chief," His tone suddenly became solemn, as if what he was about to look at was extremely serious, "This is what Ang Ogudo, has been hidden for a hundred years. β
The light suddenly turned on, it was the light created by the circulation of magic power, and it was a specially made mechanism, which could only be activated by Ang himself, but with the inheritance of the position, the right to start was also transferred to the hands of Cangdu, and the wall in front of the two of them was shining, not an ordinary light, the light and shade were distributed, as if deliberately made, this is a mural made of magic brilliance.
When Aoi saw this mural, she felt that the room was instantly cold, the hairs on her back stood up, her heart seemed to be pinched so hard that she couldn't breathe, and there seemed to be something unknown hidden in the darkness that was making mysterious calls.
The mural is painted with intricate patterns and lines, and she sees that the top of the scroll seems to symbolize the origin of everything, in a pattern with messy lines, a square with uneven edges is drawn at the bottom, like a broken door, and the patterns of suspected human figures are painted on the top and bottom of the squares, and the figures above are standing silently and still, and the figures below are lying horizontally.
Looking further back, she gradually understood, and she felt that what was described in the middle actually allowed her to connect with the huge ukiyo-e on the wall of Valhalla in the conference hall, the Queen of the Night descended from the sky, saved the wild land, defeated the demons, brought good news to mankind, taught mankind advanced survival skills, and then people built cities, and in the center of the city made a gorgeous statue of the Queen of the Night, who was called the god who guided all things in the world.
This is followed by a confrontation between the Queen of the Night and the Queen of the Day, both gods, as the two figures hold up a luminous object that is undoubtedly the book of Revelation.
Then the book of Revelation is broken, and the fragments are scattered all over the world, and the culprit of all this is only a caped figure on the mural, meaning that everything is still a mystery.
Aoi continued to look down, only to find that the drawing had changed abruptly, and what caught her eye was a large cross, a symbol of error and denial.
"Do you remember, the thing about Old Man Ang's life for a hundred years is indeed true, it is an unsolved mystery in the world, but there are too many people with strange powers in the world, so everything is not strange, so we turn a blind eye to this matter. β
"This is ......" she muttered as she took a breath of cold air, feeling that standing in front of the painting at this moment, her soul was going to be withdrawn.
"This is the truth of the world. Cangdu said.
