The torrential rain still has no intention of stopping.

Dennis couldn't get any more information from the corpses, most of the dead were wearing black raincoats, and if I guessed correctly, these were the people the villagers were talking about.

Who the hell are they, why are they here, and are they connected to the dead villagers?

Also, who among them is the [Mountain Keeper]?

These are a few of the questions that are currently plaguing Dennis's mind. Originally, he thought that the person he would have to face on the Spirit Peak should be the Thunder King Na Ash, so the entire team also carried a full set of alchemy equipment, but he didn't expect to face such a puzzling situation as now.

"Bury the bodies. Nicole said, "There's no way we're going to take them down the mountain." ”

Dennis hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Do you have any information about the [Mountain Keeper]? Dennis asked, "You should have known about it before you came." ”

"The [Mountain Keeper] registered in the hall is Anas Kant, but he has been dead for many years. "According to the people in the village below, the new [Mountain Keeper] is a young man named Carl Landers. It's just that he didn't go to the hall to register, but directly took over the position of Anas [Mountain Keeper], so there is no information about him in the hall. ”

Dennis didn't expect such a result, which couldn't help but make him feel helpless. The profession of [Mountain Keeper] has fallen to this point, and even if it is handed over, it does not need to go through the registration of the hall. The upper echelons of the hall may be happy, but perhaps in a few decades, this profession will be completely erased from the list of halls.

"Bury the bodies. Dennis got up and said to the hunters behind him, "This matter must be kept secret, and when the villagers asked, they said that no one was found, and that they might have stumbled and fallen off the cliff and died. ”

The hunters nodded blankly, some understood Dennis's intentions, but many more didn't. Why hide the news? Dead is dead, do you care how to die?

Although they had doubts in their hearts, they were very interested in not asking, and obediently ran to carry the corpse.

Nicole looked at the busy posture of the hunters, quietly approached her husband's side, and asked softly, "Is it necessary?"

"What?"

"It's a matter of concealing the news. Nicole said, "As far as I know, the hall will soon be open to the public with the news of the end of the world." ”

"Yes. Dennis nodded, "Now there are many people in the imperial capital who know that the end is coming, this is fire, and paper can't contain it, so it is a matter of time before the news of the end is made public, and it is also to give people in other regions some psychological preparation." ”

"Then why are you hiding the news from here?"

"I just want the people here to have a longer laid-back life. "Once this is made public, the panic will spread much earlier." The reason why they panic is precisely because they can't do anything about it, in this case, it is better to know the news later. ”

Nicole was silent for a moment and shook her head: "I don't agree with your point of view, I think they should be let know the truth." ”

"Sooner or later, they will know the truth, but not now. Dennis looked at Nicole, "Do you know what's next in the hall?"

"What?"

"Gather all the hunters on the continent and return to the imperial capital. ”

Nicole's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

"A lot of places will be abandoned. Dennis whispered, "That's what it means." ”

"No way!How could the hall allow such a decision?" Nicole said through gritted teeth, "This is simply going to push countless people into the mouths of the dragons and become their fodder! What is the difference between this and the humans of a thousand years ago? Dennis, if you allow the hall to give this order, I'll—"

"I didn't make this decision. Dennis interrupted Nicole, "You know, although I am called a quasi-prince now, I am not a prince after all. The supreme decisions of the hall are always made by the Lord, and the rest of the people can only do to carry them out. ”

Nicole was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

Dennis looked at Nicole and whispered, "This decision was made not long after the prophecy of the Messiah of the Eye of Heaven was made, and it was signed by Lord Rose, Karan Stuart. After Lord Rose's death, these decisions will continue to be made, do you know why?"

Nicole wasn't stupid, she guessed the answer, she just didn't want to believe it.

"Exactly what you think. "Because there was one man who also signed the decision after the death of Lord Rose, Lord of Thorns, Ian Iliad. Do you know what this name means? As a person with divine powers, even if he really dies in the Burial God Desert, as long as he has this signature, this decision will be resolutely implemented, and no one can change it. ”

Nicole still couldn't believe it, and she muttered, "No way, how could it be Ian? How could he agree? It must not be." ”

"He's helpless. Dennis sighed softly, he raised his head and looked at the storm and thunder, "A thousand years ago, the first Lord of Thorns, Perseus, foresaw the comeback of the dragons, so he deposited the [Endless Life] in the elven race, waiting for the next warrior to take it away. Now that Ian has taken it, he still has [Time and Space] on him, and he is already the most powerful human in history, but he is only a human being, how can he face the revenge of a powerful race?"

Dennis paused, then said, "Compared to the fire that preserves humanity, those hundreds of thousands of human lives are really insignificant. ”
