"You shouldn't ask about the outer gods!"

After the meeting, Russell took Holmes to his room and said angrily: "When the time comes, you will come into contact with these secrets, and take the initiative to ask will only arouse the suspicion of others!" ”

"Timing, what is timing?"

Sherlock Holmes sat by the window, smoking a pipe and asked, "The connection between the Doomsday Party and the Outer Gods is all known by the Apocalypse Divine Department, which is not a secret at all, or rather, if it is not for the contact with the Outer Gods, the Apocalypse Divine Department will not find an excuse to destroy the Doomsday Party on a large scale!" ”

"You"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Russell knew that Holmes was right.

Making a deal with the outer gods brought more power to the Doomsday Party, but it also brought them a catastrophe.

In the past, the Doomsday Party was just a clown in the eyes of the god of faith, and it was difficult to have a substantial impact except for the noise, and all smart people knew that they couldn't overthrow the church with just their mouths, and you had to show your strength.

The risk of contact with the outer gods, how could the Doomsday Party not know about it?

Their opponent is Nereida, the god of the apocalypse!

A presiding god who can see what the future may be!

The small actions of the Doomsday Party can't hide it from him at all!

But then again, trading with the Outer Gods was a unanimous decision made by the top of the Doomsday Party, and the Church wouldn't have looked at them without digging up the ruins of the Golden Age!

"Russell, I know you want to protect me, if you know me, you should know that I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Sherlock Holmes exhaled a puff of smoke and said quietly, "I'm helping you, I want to know more about the Outer Gods." ”

"More? What's more? Didn't the party leader tell you the deal? ”

Sherlock Holmes laughed silently, and Russell and the party leader clearly didn't know what information he had gathered.

As early as the reign of Rhodes IV, the Doomsday Party was linked to the Kingdom of Windsor, and the conversation between Rhodes IV and James Moorea at the Opera House was the key to solving the puzzle.

Rhodes IV has said that the Doomsday Party found records of the old times in the treasure troves of the Cult of Fertility 6 and 7 years ago, including the ruins of the Golden Age.

And three years ago, after the arrival of the gods, the Doomsday Party released the ancient creature sealed under the Pantheon in Rome, which later became the Black Swan Kinna.

Relying on Jinna and the channeling god White Candle, the Doomsday Party contacted the Golden Gods, got a way to enter the core of the ruins, and officially began to excavate the ruins.

If the news of the existence of Old Times records in the Cult of Fertility Treasure Vault was provided by the Outer Gods, then it is reasonable for the Doomsday to discover the Golden Age ruins, at least the Outer Gods did tell the location of the Doomsday ruins according to the deal.

But the problem is that the Doomsday Party not only has a deal with the Outer Gods, but also with the Old Gods!

According to the history that Ma Wei and others have ascertained, as early as a few decades ago, Minnie, the mirror demon sealed in the world of Avalon, used Merlin's magic to escape back to the real world, leading the Doomsday Party to dig out the demon gate and release a group of demons in advance.

After that, Minnie the Mirror Demon uses Merlin's magic to travel to the kingdom of the ancient god of wisdom, Arabi, to find Mavi's soul and bring it back, which happened 6 or 7 years ago.

"When did the Doomsday Party make a deal with the Outer Gods?" Holmes asked suddenly.

"Seven years ago, you asked what you were doing here?" Russell wondered.

"Just asking."

Holmes said absent-mindedly and perfunctorily, sipping his heather pipe, his brain spinning.

Liszt, the mentor sent to London by the Doomsday Party, mentions the contents of the contract with the Old Gods.

The Doomsday Party released a few demons in exchange for the Old God forces telling them the location of the Golden Age ruins, and at the same time gifting some of the high-level powers, and demanding that the Old God forces not interfere with or harm the members of the Doomsday Party.

This is very strange, the party leader clearly said that it was the outer gods who told the Doomsday Party the location of the Golden Age ruins, why did Liszt say that the one who leaked the Golden Age ruins became the ancient gods?

Could it be that Liszt couldn't tell the difference between the ancient gods and the outer gods?

No.

Sherlock Holmes believes that there is a high probability that only the top leaders of the Doomsday Party know about making a deal with the outer gods, such as the twenty-four elders of the Ten Gospels just now, only they know.

A middle-level mentor like Liszt is not qualified to know about the existence of the outer gods!

If it weren't for Nereida's revelation of the Outer God, I'm afraid even Sherlock Holmes wouldn't be qualified to access these secrets!

The remnants of the Golden Age are simply the information revealed by the outer gods, and the ancient gods are nothing but lies from the top of the Doomsday Party!

Thinking of this, Holmes puffed on his pipe.

If the content of the contract that Liszt said was false, then what contract did the Doomsday Party sign with the Old Gods?

And how did the Doomsday get their way to the core of the ruins from the golden gods?

Countless doubts, all kinds of incomprehensible confusion, all make the Doomsday Party full of mystery.

Being able to move between the ancient gods, the outer gods, and the gods of faith at the same time, the Doomsday Party is by no means as vulnerable as it seems!

Holmes even felt that Russell was hiding something from him and was not telling the truth.

In the same way, just listen to what the party leader says.

Sherlock Holmes always felt that he had missed some important clue, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"It's late at night, you rest early."

Russell came to ask the teacher at first, but in the face of Sherlock Holmes, he couldn't raise his anger, and he was loyal, and the questions he asked were in place, straight to the core, and what he said was reasonable, where to be angry?

There is no reason to go berserk at all.

When Russell left, Holmes checked the latch, made sure it was locked, sat down in front of the window and smoked, finished his cigarette, knocked off the ash, closed the window, closed the curtains, and quietly came to the door, listening with bated breath

There was a dead silence in the darkness, and there was no sound of breathing outside the door, and Sherlock Holmes, who was sure that there was no eavesdropper, pulled out a wooden statue of Unia from his suitcase and told Mavi what he had received.

"Holmes has news back."

"How's it going? Did he find evidence of the Doomsday Party's collusion with the Outer Gods? Levine asked impatiently.

"The Doomsday Party is indeed in collusion with the Outer Gods, which the leader of the Doomsday Party personally admitted, and there is no doubt about its authenticity."

"The problem is that the party leader's reply to him is in conflict with the information we have gathered, and the truth of it needs to be further explored," Ma Wei said. ”

If you want to solve the doubts and find the truth in the countless mysteries, you can only start from three directions.

Either go and ask the outer gods, or go and ask the ancient gods, or

Go to the gods of gold.

Only those who have been in close contact with the Doomsday Party can know the true content of the contract.

The outer gods and the ancient gods are unreliable, the outer gods can't be contacted at all, Ma Wei doesn't know the method, the ancient gods can only be a backup plan, after all, not revealing the content of the contract is the basic ethics, and if you want the ancient gods to break this rule, you will definitely have to pay a painful price.

For this reason, the Golden Gods are the best breakthrough, which is why Holmes sent back clues overnight.

Only if Ma Wei has a breakthrough on his side, can he find the right direction of investigation, which is very important.

Hearing that Mavi was going to Atlantis, Levin suddenly came up and said that he would go with him.

Mavi didn't refuse, he had already stepped on Atlantis, although the ancient city that was famous in history was full of weirdness, at least the golden gods were kind and sane and did not show aggression.

Atlantis.

Looking at the fading color and dead ash of the giant city, Levin shuddered.

Atlantis was completely different from what he had imagined, and completely different from other kingdoms of God he had visited, lifeless and lifeless.

As far as the eye can see, there is mercury flowing metal, the streets are filled with gray and white fog, and the air is cold and damp.

Only the Sun Temple in the center of the city was as bright as ever, exuding bursts of warm breath, maintaining the operation of the entire kingdom of the gods.

"Dad, there's a lot of it here. Monster. ”

Looking around, her eyes pierced through the fog and saw many strange figures, Yunia wrinkled her nose: "They seem to be people."

"It used to be a human." "Now they don't know what they've become," Mavi said. ”

"No danger, right?"

Levine was in good spirits, and for some reason, he was horrified and uncomfortable as soon as he came here.

In the darkness, it seemed that countless pairs of eyes were secretly staring at him.

"Probably not, at least they didn't attack me when I came. Well, the attempt. ”

"Big brother, you seem to have a saying for this attempt."

"It'll be fine when you get to the temple."

Mavi looked up, and a ladder to the top of the temple was descending from the flesh, and the sliding door creaked as if it would fall apart at any moment.

Behind him, the monster that was not human or ghost had already followed, and Levin swallowed his saliva and chased Ma Wei into the elevator, until the folding door closed, and the monsters stopped approaching.

The elevator activated, and in the creeping of flesh and blood came to the top of the temple, heavy gasps came and went, and before Ma Wei could speak, he heard an angry roar from the left:

"Asis! Asis is here! ”

"Kill him! Kill him! ”

"Can't let him leave Atlantis!"

Levin was startled to find that the golden gods with tubes under him were coming at him, and shouted anxiously, "I am not Asis!" Do not wronged the good people! ”

"You're Asis! Your taste and your soul are exactly the same as Asis! ”

"He's not Asis."

The main god Clara suddenly opened her eyes: "He is the key left by Asis. ”

"That should kill him! So that Asis can't return! ”

"Killing him will only delay the date of Asis's return, and Asis will return sooner or later." Clara looked at Mavi, "You didn't come alone, why?" ”

"I'd like to ask you about the Doomsday Party."

"Doomsday Party"

Chewing on the name, one of the golden gods let out a strange grin: "Are they satisfied with alchemy technology?" ”

"Isn't it a blasphemy against your own time that you will tell them how to enter the core of the ruins?"

"Blasphemy! Ha! You should ask those humans what they say when they blaspheme us! We don't care about blasphemy at all! ”

Ma Wei frowned: "What I want to ask is, what benefits did the Doomsday Party give you to make you willing to open the ruins?" ”

"You seem to be in trouble." Clara looked at Mavi, "I seem to be underestimating you, you've already found out that the Doomsday Party has seen us. I came to Xingshi to ask about my guilt. ”

"It's not that Xingshi asks about the guilt, it's just about asking." Ma Wei said calmly: "I need to know the truth of the past, why are you, as the masters of the Golden Age, willing to help the Doomsday Party?" They were your enemies too! ”

"Because they give us the opportunities we need."

"Opportunity?"

Ma Wei's eyes narrowed: "What you can call an opportunity, I think it should be related to return." ”

Clara laughed, "You're smart. ”

"You want to get revenge on humanity?"

The smile on her face disappeared little by little, and Clara said in a deep voice: "It's not revenge on humans, but unwillingness." ”

"We were one step away from success, and if we could do it again, we wouldn't fail!"

"Isn't it the Siren's Tears that caused your defeat?" Levin said, "If you had obtained the Siren's Tears in the first place, would you have been able to complete the breakthrough?" ”

Clara looked at her companion next to her, "I'll just say he's not Asis, and it's impossible for Asis to ask such a common-sense question." ”

"You're right, he's not Asis."

The Golden Gods nodded slowly, a little less hostile to Levin.

"If we can get the Siren's Tears, we can complete the breakthrough, yes."

Clara replied to Levin's doubts: "But we searched the world and couldn't find the Siren's Tear, it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. ”

Hearing this, Ma Wei and the three of them glanced at each other and said, "We have the Divine White Candle, if you are willing to answer our questions and meet our requirements, maybe we are willing to recall you." ”

Calmly looking at Ma Wei, after a long time, Clara said slowly: "I answer you, not because of the conditions you offered, but because you have the opportunity to achieve what we failed to accomplish, is the Kraken's Tears in your hands?" ”

"Yes."

Clara smiled with relief, but soon her smile turned into self-deprecation: "It's really a treasure that we have been looking for so easily, and you have obtained it so easily." ”

Ma Wei, who didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, opened his mouth and asked, "Do you know the content of the contract signed between the Doomsday Party and the Outer Gods?" ”

"The Doomsday Party makes a pact with the outer gods?" Clara was puzzled, "Why do you think that the Doomsday Party has made a pact with the outer gods?" ”

"At first, I was also shocked, how could the Doomsday Party, which is pretending to perpetuate the fate of mankind, betray humanity? But that's what happened. Mavi sighed.

"No, no, no"

Clara repeatedly denied: "I'm asking you, why do you think it's necessary for the Doomsday Party to sign a contract with the outer gods?" ”

Ma Wei was stunned when asked: "Because of the transaction, the Doomsday Party signed a contract with the Outer Gods, and they could get the location of the Golden Age Ruins and the power of the Outer Gods' gifts, isn't it?" ”

"Aside from the Doomsday Party, have you seen anyone else receive the power of the Outer Gods?"

Clara said meaningfully:

"Those Aztecs, can they provide the power of faith to your gods?"

"Can your god provide them with magic?"

"If not, why can the Doomsday Party get its strength from the outer gods?"
