Hithea's eyes darkened a little when he heard Shinon's answer, and finally he didn't say anything more.

"Let's talk about it."

Doctor Birdbeak seemed to finally smell the blood beneath Heinon's armor, and began to search for wounds and carrion like a vulture.

After a moment of silence, Shinon spoke in a deep voice:

"For as long as I can remember, the worshippers of the [Golden Bough], the high priests of the temple, have always been from the Aaronic family."

"The reign of each high priest is limited to twelve years, from the last time the Golden Bough is touched to the day of the next touch."

"After becoming a high priest, he will stay in the temple of the Golden Branch, listening to the aftermath of touching, and feeling the oracle in the aftermath of the holy aftertaste."

"At the end of the twelfth year, countless priests would gather around the temple on this festival to offer wooden frames and silk fabrics."

"On this day, in the midst of great ceremonies and music, the high priest will go to a special wooden barrel to bathe."

"He would take off all his clothes, touch the [golden branch] again, climb on the wooden frame, take a dagger in front of everyone, cut off his nose, ears, lips, and limbs, and cut off as much flesh as he could."

"The cut flesh would be thrown away very quickly, until he was bleeding so much that he began to fall unconscious, so he cut his throat himself."

"This is the process of the rotation of the high priests, and whoever wants to be king for the next twelve years needs to make a promise to the Golden Bough that he will make such a sacrifice, and the priests will make him the next king of priests in that place. ”

"This ritual is complicated and trivial, and only the Aaron family has mastered all the details and the ritual of touching."

"And in this election, the slave didn't know what means he used to interrupt King Zossai's sacrifice, and the anger of the [Golden Branch] brought about made King Zosai die directly on the altar."

At this point, Cinnon became stiff, as if he was reluctant to talk about the memory.

"The ritual was not completed, but the slave began to cut off his own flesh and complete the ritual in place of King Dzose."

"He slit his own throat, but the power of evil meant that he did not die, but became a [Black Priest] in a half-alive and half-dead state, and was recognized by the [Golden Branch]."

"It's something that hasn't happened before."

"Then came Aaron's decline, a swift decline that no one expected."

After saying this long sentence, Shinon sighed heavily.

He didn't tell Siayan about this, he was a bystander in Aaron's family and the only one left to know the truth.

Ciaan listened to the secret about her father and the Aaron family, and showed no obvious mood swings.

Although she still felt sad to hear this, after experiencing the darkness of Blackwater Prison and the despair of the [Sunflower Carriage] as an exhibit, Xixi'an's heart had already become resolute.

"I didn't expect that the Rusty Iron Age had begun for more than 2,000 years, but there were still such ancient and barbaric rituals."

After listening to this bloody sacrificial ceremony, Doctor Birdbeak sighed in a deep voice.

"Why do you say that the anomaly in this rotation has something to do with our cooperation?"

He took this to note when Chinon described.

Cinon pulled out of his deep emotion, and the expression on his face became a little strange, a complex mixture of hatred, doubt, and fear.

"Because King Zosai read out a name aloud before being punished by the [Golden Branch]."

"I will never forget the look on the face of the king at that time, the voice was full of shock and fear, I have never seen the king like that."

Xianon looked into the void, his eyes out of focus, as if his soul had been drained.

"Which name?"

Dr. Birdbeak was completely attracted by this sight, and he unconsciously leaned forward.

Shinon turned his head and replied without emotion:

"Sage."

The king shouted 'Sage' in a shocked tone.

"How is that possible?"

The doctor's shocked voice came from the bird's beak.

"There will be no mistake, I confirmed with the priests present that it is the [Sage], the legendary existence of your Alchemy Society."

The bird's beak doctor closed his mouth.

He didn't know how Henon knew about the relationship between the "sage" and the Alchemy Society, but what he said was indeed the truth.

The name "Sage" is recorded in the oldest texts of the Dark Alchemy Society, and is one of the deepest secrets within the Society.

Legend has it that he was an old man dressed in ornate robes and wearing a crown who created the Dark Alchemy Society at the end of the Age of Light and passed down 4 copies of the Supreme Potion.

It was the pinnacle of the [Red Potion], and it was by relying on them that the Alchemy Society became one of the top secret organizations at that time.

But apart from being recorded in the ancient texts, even the most senior elders in the Alchemy Society had never seen the [Sage], not even heard of his name.

It's like this mysterious figure was just made up.

"The name of the [Sage] appeared in the mouth of the Golden Bough High Priest who was seized of his position and was about to die, which is a great piece of information..."

Dr. Birdbeak pondered the importance of this information in his heart, which was related to his level in the Alchemy Society, whether he could get the next stage of the [apron], and the coveted "reward"...

"I think this information is enough to be worth this [spice] in the suitcase."

Seeing that the Birdbeak Doctor was slow to respond, Xianon reminded him.

"You seem to have forgotten about the mailbox."

Doctor Birdbeak sobered up from the calculation of interests, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

A [spice] in exchange for two important information, it seems that I have definitely come to the right place this time.

Hinon was so immersed in the grief of King Djose's death that he forgot the whereabouts of the Queen's Mailbox, which was originally used as an exchange.

The message in this mailbox wasn't the focus of his attention in the first place, and his goal was to ask for information about the sage that sent chills down his spine.

"Regarding the [Sage], I would like to get more detailed information, you can report this point, and it will be decided by the Alchemy Society."

"As for the mailbox, what I know is that the queen helped a xenomorph teleport through the mailbox, and the teleportation will most likely end up in Cavides."

"That means there's a good chance the mailbox is right here."

"The queen helps the xenos?"

The bird-beaked man exclaimed again.

In his experience, the queen only listened to stories and never did anything on her own initiative, and for those of them who told stories, she was lucky not to be killed.

"That's right."

Chinon didn't know what the doctor was surprised about, but he guessed that the queen's behavior must be unusual.

"My advice to find this xenomorph is to start with the Ash Squad."

He added his opinion.

"That xenomorph killed Darius's third son before teleporting, and it is said that the Ash Squad has been dispatched."

"Follow the Ash Squad and you'll find him."

Hisian's eyes were full of disbelief, she told Hinon all this information, she didn't expect Hisian to turn around and sell Martin who had saved him.

She didn't understand why Heynon could not mention the Ash Squad, why did he still give a hint to the man in front of him, was it for cooperation?

She was about to defend herself when she saw Henon's eyes look at her.

It was a pair of gloomy eyes, which she had never seen in the eyes of this kind teacher, and she felt like she was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"I'll report back."

The doctor was noncommittal and replied.

He then gently pushed the suitcase in front of Cynon .

"It's a pleasure to work with."

It was only here that Shinon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he had been thinking about how to get in touch with the Dark Alchemy Society these days, but he didn't expect Xi'an's arrival to give him an unexpected joy.

He had accidentally learned that the Alchemy Society had lost an important item, which was a mailbox related to a mysterious [Artifactist] queen in history, and he immediately noticed the connection between the two after Xixian told him what had happened to him.

So he immediately contacted the Alchemy Society.

Not only did he want the [spices] that would help him further accommodate the "Tower" deck, but he also wanted to know what the "sage" that King Zosse shouted before he died.

Fortunately, everything has come to an end, and my efforts have not been in vain.

Just as William was about to put the box away at the signal of Hinon, a pale glove suddenly pressed down on the suitcase.

William looked up in confusion and saw a man standing in front of him with a dead breath.

The man wore a top hat and a menacing coat, and his entire head was covered by a linen pocket, revealing only the gap between his eyes and mouth.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the linen in his mouth was stretched open, revealing a mouthful of yellow, dirty teeth.

Full of crazy laughter.

William was taken aback, and then rebuked:

"Who are you?"

He didn't know this person, it could only be the person brought by the Bird's Beak Doctor.

At this time, the doctor also asked suspiciously:

"Who brought him? Why haven't I met this person? ”

He asked the entourage behind him.

Quiescence.

No one answered him.

The anger in the doctor's chest grew, and he turned his head to greet the mother of the rice buckets, only to find that they were all still in place.

Dark red blood oozed from their chests, and then their heads fell off.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The head rolled to the ground like a watermelon, and the blood stained the floor, stained the heavy wool weaving carpet.

The strong smell of blood instantly spread throughout the room.

The eyes behind the mask instantly widened, and looking at this somewhat familiar back, the doctor's voice began to tremble, and he thought of someone.

No, it can't be said to be a person, it should be said to be a monster.

It was supposed to be a failed black alchemy product, but when it was about to be destroyed, he brutally killed the alchemist who created him, and then ate the hapless alchemist.

He escaped from the Alchemy Society and became a serial killer who had recently appeared at the Fingland Field Police Department.

The Alchemy Society dispatched a large number of men to destroy him before people found out about his origins, but they always missed this murderer.

Except for the Alchemy Society, no one knew who this killer was, and no one knew why he had to take out the internal organs of those corpses after killing people.

But the doctor knows.

He killed because he couldn't control his desires, and he didn't take away the entrails.

He ate all the entrails.

Extreme nausea and fear intertwined with the brains that rushed to the doctor, and in the midst of the great trembling he could not even escape, the breath of death and blood gathered around his mouth, turning into a cry full of terror in his mouth:

"Ripper!"
