Sitting back on the wooden chair, Mavi opened the genealogy of the Manstein family, 'genealogy' to be exact.

The Manstein family rose to prominence three hundred years ago, and like the other old Junkers, they were the direct beneficiaries of the monopoly of military and political positions and the leadership of the country, until the Junker nobility began to decline a few decades ago, after the complete defeat of the Kingdom of Frederick by Napoleon Bonaparte.

Among them, the Manstein family was the first batch of Junker nobles who fell into disarray, withered during the war, and lost their noble status due to the "October Edict" and "City Code" promulgated by the post-war reforms, and became the first victims of the reform process, and finally settled in Saxony, where they settled and lived.

Although the Junker aristocracy has not completely disappeared, and is even still active in the military and political circles, these glories have nothing to do with the Manstein family, they have no honor with the surname 'Feng', but they can't enjoy the benefits brought by the Junker aristocracy, and they are far away from the core of power, and they are not qualified to share the cake.

The genealogy inherited by the Manstein family records the rise and fall of the family, and at the end of the road, the last head of the family, Flori von Manstein, did not sell the books handed down by the family, but preserved them intact.

It can be said that the loneliness of the Manstein family has a direct causal relationship with Napoleon Bonaparte.

Including the entire Frederick Kingdom, there was little affection for the First Bonaparte Empire next door, and the policy of 'uniting the Romanov Kingdom' proposed by Prime Minister Bismarck after he came to power was also formulated for the First Bonaparte Empire.

Like the feud between the Kingdom of Windsor and the First Bonaparte Empire, the Kingdom of Frederick had a feud with the First Bonaparte Empire, which is one of the reasons why William V and Bismarck agreed to help the Mavi and the others forge their identities.

Wilhelm V and Bismarck, who were busy unifying the kingdom, did not want to intervene in the 'territorial dispute' between the Romanov Kingdom and the First Bonaparte Empire, and their immediate priority was to regain power and unite the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which had once been part of the Holy Roman League, to form a more powerful kingdom of Frederick.

The declaration of war on the Romanov kingdom was simply a proposal that Pope Doppler II insisted on and forcibly passed, and it was not at all the original intention of Wilhelm V and Chancellor Bismarck.

Originally, these turmoil had nothing to do with the Manstein family, and the last head of the family, Flory, no longer cared about these national affairs, drank tea and read books every day, was free, and no one came to the mansion after his death, even Ma Wei felt that Flory was just an ordinary lonely nobleman, nothing special, but....

After reading the family tree, Ma Wei roughly read the history of the rise and fall of the Manstein family, and gradually found that the problem was not the last head of the family, Flory, but the Manstein family!

Just as the ancestors of the Frederick family were given the patronage of Luca, the god of bards, the ancestors of the Manstein family also received something similar to 'Heimyuk', but ....

The ancestors of the Manstein family were given a book.

Not the two books on the shelf, but a blank, wordless book with nothing.

After getting this book, the Manstein family seemed to be open, singing all the way, with wealth, status, and power, as if they had been favored by Lady Luck.

And this book was used as a genealogy by the ancestors of the Manstein family, that is, this one in the hands of Mavi.

The original blank page records the rise and fall of the Manstein family, and what makes Mavi a little strange is that if the Manstein family rose because they got this wordless book, then why did they suddenly fall silent a few decades ago?

Could it be that the wordless book no longer shelters the Mansteins?

Ma Wei flipped through the pages and observed the family tree in his hand, this is an ancient book wrapped in gray-yellow sheepskin, exuding a unique fragrance, after so many years, it is still as neat as new, the pages have no signs of fading and brittleness, and it is tough and difficult to tear.

Everything is fine in the ancient book, only in the crest of the book, Ma Wei found a four-diamond-shaped groove, which seems to be used to inlay something.

Fingers stroking the crest of the book, Mavi noticed that the shape of the groove was extremely similar to something he had seen before....

Devil's Gate!

Ma Wei clearly remembered that there were holes on the stone pillars on both sides of the Demon Gate, and the red gems inlaid in them were four-diamond-shaped!

Ma Wei, who had seen the Demon Gate up close, vaguely remembered that the rubies were about the size of the grooves on the ridges of the book.

Don't....

Could it be that the wordless ancient book obtained by the Manstein family was some kind of tool that was once used to seal the demons?

Could it be that the Manstein family suddenly began to decline a few decades ago because of the gems in the grooves?

After thinking for a moment, Ma Wei suddenly said, "Baji, you come out for a while." ”

“.......”

A point of light floated out of his chest, transforming into a phantom of Badge, who wanted to remind Mavi not to use her as a tool god to summon her and come and go, but after thinking about it, even if she said so, would Mavi follow her advice?

Obviously not!

It's useless to say it anyway, so it's better to save some effort.

"You look at the book, I think it's weird." Mavi handed the family tree to Baji.

"The Ancient Book of Satan, this is a torture instrument made by the ancient gods to punish demons." Baji glanced at the family tree and immediately replied: "The book itself is made of the sheepskin of the charm sheep, it must be peeled alive, and it must be mixed with the grievances of the charm sheep before death, and as for the groove on the book crest, it is a blood crystal, a treasure used by the ancient gods to seal the demons. ”

"The Old God Seals the Demon?" Ma Wei frowned: "Aren't the ancient gods and demons in the same group?" ”

"Demons are the genus of the ancient gods, and they have their own names, such as Satan, Cain, and the like, but humans have given them a unified name - demons."

Baji said: "Demons have the ability to think independently, they are also intelligent creatures, their IQ is very high, only the best of the human race can match them, they can think and make mistakes, and if they make mistakes, they will be punished, so the ancient gods will use the ancient books of Satan to punish the demons who have made mistakes, and they will be imprisoned in the ancient books, sealed for a thousand years or more, and after the sentence is over, there will be messengers to release them from the ancient books of Satan." ”

"Demons will be sealed in blood crystals, and when the blood crystals and ancient books are combined, the beings who hold the ancient books can use the power of demons, but they will have to pay a corresponding price to trade with demons."

"As for the ancient book you found that lost the blood crystal, it is no longer useful, and the holder will be haunted by the resentment of the charm sheep before his death, until the family is ruined."

"You...," Marvi looked at Baggi with a straight look, "Did you mention Cain just now?" ”

"Yes."

"Which Cain?"

"The one outside the door."

“.......”

"Don't you know? I thought you knew. Bucky said expressionlessly, "Edward is the name you gave it, but it's actually a demon in its body.... It is a genus of the old gods. ”

"Isn't it a Bloodline?"

"The transcendent race itself was created by the ancient gods." Baji said: "The best of them will be awarded the title of the scroll by the ancient gods, and the weak ones will not have this honor, as for the demons, they are actually called by humans, and the ancient gods and scrolls do not recognize themselves as demons." ”

Ma Wei suddenly felt a little headache in his head, he had actually realized that something was wrong with Edward, first of all, Edward was extremely powerful, and secondly, it had an amazing high IQ, and it was enough to prove his wisdom by inventing the 'Edward No. 1 rifle'.

But....

Mavi really didn't know it was a demon.

"Why didn't you mention such an important matter to me before?"

"You didn't ask, I thought you knew." Badge shrugged and said, "Anyway, it has lost its memory now, there is no threat, you don't have to worry too much, in fact, all transcendent races are demons in the eyes of humans, and the concept is different." ”

It's not just the concept, it's obviously a cognitive difference!

Demon demon, Ma Wei has always felt that Edward is a transcendent race and not a demon, in his heart, the transcendent race is a transcendent race, and the demon is a demon, the two are not the same at all, but Badge suddenly told him that the transcendent race is a demon in the eyes of humans, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while....

"Oh, if you don't know that Edward is a demon, I need to warn you that the crystal coffin he carries with him is mixed with crystal tree cores, which are not pure enough, but they are just as valuable."

“......”

Rubbing his eyebrows, Ma Wei didn't want to continue to discuss this matter, he asked about the matter: "The rise of the Manstein family, I speculate that it is related to this ancient book of Satan, and the decline of the Manstein family may be caused by the loss of the blood crystal on the ancient book, but the decline of their family was decades ago, and at that time, there was a messenger to unlock the seal of the demon?" ”

"The Demon Gate is a treasure created by Asis, which can not only seal the ancient gods, but also bind the power of all gods, including the belief in gods." "To put it simply, when the Demon Gate is completely closed, all beings who use magic will be suppressed, either sleeping or dying, and the 'Gate' is just a manifestation of the seal, not the seal itself, I explain it this way, do you understand?" ”

"Understood." Ma Wei nodded: "It's like a silk thread that can't be seen by the naked eye, cutting off the source of all magic power, just like a gas chamber, only when there is a gap, the poison gas will penetrate out." ”

"That's right."

"If the Demon Gate is so powerful, why can't it seal the magic forever?"

"Because in addition to the transcendent races, there are also humans in the scroll of the ancient gods." Baji sighed: "Humans who do not possess magical power are not affected by the Demon Gate, and they who worship the belief in the ancient gods will try to break the seal. ”

"Then why did faith in God come first?" Mavi continued to ask: "Before the seal was unlocked, Yunia came, which can be explained by the loosening of the seal, but after she completed her first awakening, the demon gate was still closed, but Anatole and Seecula came to the world first, what is the reason?" ”

"The Demon Gate has two seals, inside and outside, this is the curse of Asis, in order to prevent herself from being sealed, she set up a curse that the ancient gods will also be sealed, the ancient gods are sealed in the inner door, and the belief in the gods.... It is at the outer door, and the seal of the outer door will be unlocked first, and then the inner door will be obtained. ”

Speaking of this, Baji suddenly paused and said meaningfully: "The Demon Gate is not without flaws, at least Neilei Yinda discovered the flaw of the Demon Gate, she violated the god's taboo and left her own bloodline, so that the offspring can use magic during the seal, this method is extremely cruel, because the descendants who are cursed by the gods will never live to be 30 years old." ”

The curse of not living to be 30 years old is, of course, referring to the Bojie family, and the only current heir of the Bojie family is the source.

This method is indeed cruel, in order to revive herself, Nei Lei Yinda does not hesitate to let her descendants bear the curse of pain, passing it on from generation to generation, without caring about their feelings.

Anatole turned his back on the believers, there must be the influence of Neilei Yinda, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Neilei Yinda himself is not serious, and violates the taboo without authorization, how can the members of the god system below follow the rules safely?

Maybe....

Believing in God has come to the generation of the Apocalypse God Department, and it has begun to go astray.

However, Mavi is still very interested in the Demon Gate, and the Calamity Stone also mentions the Demon Gate, as well as Asis.

The last few paragraphs of the prophecy say that Asis will establish the last line of defense of mankind with the new gods, does this not prove that Asis will be on the same side as mankind?

As an ancient god, why did Asis choose humans?

Mavi couldn't understand, or maybe Asis, the ancient god who ruled the sea, was full of doubts from the beginning, and she was betrayed by Bhaji, would she still believe in humans?

Ma Wei always felt that there was a high probability that there was some kind of relationship between Neilei Yinda and Asis.

Cecida once felt the breath of Asis on the steam icebreaker, and after subsequent investigation, the only beings on the icebreaker who had anything to do with the gods were Eunia, Edward, and Communication.

At that time, Cecida's words were not said to Unia and Edward, so the most suspicious should be the communication.

The blood flowing in the body of the communication was left by the god of the apocalypse, Neilei Yinda, and after the last seal was unsealed, the main god of the Apocalypse God Department, Neilei Yinda, did not come, although the silver white figure said to Anatole that Neilei Yinda was dead, but this statement has no basis, and Ma Wei does not believe it.

He believed his speculation more - Nelei Yinda was not dead, she just couldn't come for some reason.

What could be the reason for her not being able to come?

The outer door of the Demon Gate was sealed, but the inner door was still closed, which caused the god of faith to come down, and the old god had not yet appeared.

Presumably based on this circumstance ....

Wouldn't it just be a good way to test the conjecture that Nereyinda and Asis are the same being?

Why can't Nelei Yinda come?

Because she's an old god!

The seal of the ancient gods has not been broken, and of course it cannot come!

After listening to Ma Wei's speculation, Baji was silent for a long time, and retorted uncertainly: "If, according to what you said, Nelei Yinda and Asis are the same existence, then how did Neilei Yinda appear when the Apocalypse God System rose?" There is no doubt that she is indeed a god born of faith. ”

"But the silver white figure said that Nelei Yinda died, let's assume that the silver white figure didn't lie, Neilei Yinda is really dead, so could the reason for her death be related to Asis? For example, she is just a consciousness of Asis, just like you are now. ”

“.... If the silver white figure didn't lie and Nelei Yinda really died, then isn't it normal that she didn't come? Badge shook his head: "I'm still more inclined to say that Nelei Yinda believes in gods and not the ancient god Asis, your speculation is too bold, I can't believe it." ”

Can't believe it.... That's an interesting answer....

Mavi smiled, and after writing the names of Nicholas von Manstein, Felix, Jonas, and Emma on the family tree, he closed the ancient Satanic book, and let Badge return to his body and walk out of the room.

"Big brother!"

The communication, who was waiting outside the door, greeted him and asked eagerly, "How is the situation?" ”

"I've got my forgotten memories back."

Ma Wei looked at the village chief of Dimu, his tone was firm, and he said word by word:

"I will take on the mission of revitalizing the Manstein family."
