Hao Ren asked the demon hunters to investigate the data that survived after the fall of the ancient Greek Olympus "god system".According to the information he already had, some of the upper members of the Olympus family seemed to have learned the secrets of the "original sin of killing gods" and "ultimate forgiveness" through some channel before their fall, and conducted a series of studies around "idolatry of Vivien", which is very likely to uncover more secrets about the ultimate plan of the goddess of creation, or at least let Hao Ren know about the activities of the aliens in ancient times.The gods of Olympus have disappeared through history, and their remnants are found in the spatial crevices of the main material world, but there is one place that still holds the secrets of antiquity, and that is the Witcher's Library in the Sanctuary of Colpers.The vast dossier contains information about every alien race destroyed by the witchers, including the ancient Greek "gods".Hao Ren asked Bai Huo for this matter."
I'll go to Colpers to find you immediately," Hao Ren replied immediately, "You have all the materials ready......"
"No, I'm in the city where you live now, you can come to XXXX to find me." ”Bai Huo reported a familiar-sounding address, and Hao Ren was stunned when he heard it: "Cultural Center?
Why did you come to me?
”Bai Huo maintained his cold and calm voice as always: "There is a comic exhibition ...... here" Hao Ren: "......" with a huge desire to complain, he took Vivian and Lily to the cultural center that Bai Huo said, and sure enough, a grand comic exhibition was being held here.Hao Ren didn't have much experience in visiting comic conventions, but he had seen it a few times, anyway, after buying a ticket to enter the venue, he felt like a group of demons dancing, men and women dressed as various game and anime characters and various stalls scattered around the pavilion made the huge indoor venue look extremely chaotic, including some high-quality sers - made Hao Ren suddenly think that he had returned to his work site.That's right, he's seen a lot of strange races, and it's all true!
Hao Ren took a lot of effort to find the white fire, but in fact it was not he who found it, but Lily's nose smelled it.Bai Huo was a real fit for herself in this place, and she could even walk around the arena wearing her usual combat uniform and a head of silver hair, and there were more people here than her in strange costumes anyway.When Hao Ren found Bai Huo, the girl was wandering around several stalls with a huge bag full of all kinds of merchandise she had just bought, as well as her witcher's dagger......
Hao Ren couldn't believe how Hasselblad had educated such a magical disciple, so there were drawbacks to the closed education, and it was easy to teach the self-isolation and the dead house......
"Ah, I've been waiting for you for a long time," Bai Huo greeted Hao Ren immediately after seeing him, "Seeing that you haven't come, I'll go shopping first." ”Hao Ren grimaced: "Anyway, it's really okay for you to go to the comic exhibition with such a big grin?"
What about the work of a witcher?
”But she didn't expect Bai Huo to have no embarrassment on her face, and she smiled indifferently: "I'm really not hanging out, I also have a job here."
Look at that-" The witcher girl raised her hand to the corner of the venue, Hao Ren looked in the direction of the other party's finger, and saw that there were several men and women in S costumes chatting over there, and one of the men was very keenly aware of the gaze of the bystanders, he immediately looked over vigilantly, and the expression on his face was slightly unnatural when he saw Bai Huo."
The two werewolves are genuine, the one next to me in the witch's suit is a witch, who used to be Dracula's mistress, and the other one is wearing knight's full body armor, the armor is empty inside, it is the armor of a famous knight, God knows which crazy wizard gave this armor a spirit, or simply possessed it," Bai Huo smacked his lips, "If you look around, you will see a lot of 'real goods'." ”Hao Ren looked around in amazement, and only then did he finally find some clues.A lot of people are sneaking around, almost all of the "high-quality SERs" are in groups, and some of the exhibitors who look like ordinary people are not so ordinary: they are cautiously keeping their distance from the white fire.Lily shrugged her nose, in fact, she had just smelled some "close relatives" in the air, but she didn't say it."
How many genuine items are here?"
Hao Ren asked in a whisper."
At least a third are genuine, and another third are their servants and dependents," White Fire shrugged, "and the rest are ordinary people.I'm not here just for fun, part of it is to spy on the event. ”"This is a gathering of aliens," Hao Ren touched his chin, "This is also a new change after the truce between the witchers and the aliens and the establishment of the Shadow Council?"
A fellowship of supernatural creatures?
”Bai Huo snorted: "Well, that's right."
Expanding the scope of supernatural races without disrupting the existing order also means testing the feasibility of racial exchange.The people who came here were all the races that had been congenitally hostile before, and there were no serious feuds with each other......
However, someone still needs to monitor it, and it will still be troublesome in case of a fight. ”Hao Ren suddenly showed a look of surprise: "You came to monitor the scene?"
Witchers to monitor heterogeneous gatherings?
”"How is it possible, in fact, to put it bluntly, I am also being monitored," Bai Huo immediately waved his hand, "The elders sent me here to observe this gathering, but at the same time, we also have to make an agreement with the Shadow Council, and I am under the surveillance of the Shadow Council here."
Ah, actually, the situation is fine, I have a good relationship with you, and you have a big face in the Shadow Council, so no one is looking for trouble. ”In Bai Huo's words, Hao Ren knew that the lives of the aliens had changed even more in the shadows.Some new order is emerging, and the relationship between the witchers and the aliens is gradually evolving in a subtle and tense confrontation, and the rally here may seem to be distracting, but it may have a greater meaning on the deeper level, and Hao Ren is 100% convinced that what he can see in the venue is only the surface of the rally - after all, there are real ordinary people here, and more important activities are probably hidden outside the venue.I can probably write a story of two or three hundred thousand words if I take out this meeting, but Hao Ren doesn't care too much about this, and the affairs of the Shadow Council will be left to Heatherana and Mimir to worry about, he is here for the secrets of Olympus.Led by Bai Huo, the group came to the rest area at the back of the exhibition hall, and they followed a specific route to reach the deepest part of the venue after passing through the area where ordinary people were active.Outside several lounges, there were "sers" standing in twos and threes, and a girl with wolf ears was flicking her tail vigorously to fan herself: "Whew, huh, huh-it's so hot, I want to eat ice, I'm so bored." ”"That's it," the other "young man" with a wizard's hat nodded, "I thought I could play all day out, but I ended up staying here, I knew it would be fun to play games in the family secret realm." ”"Eh, wizard, what about the female companion you were with before?
Isn't she your girlfriend?
Why did you leave you alone?
”"Oh, that's my great-great-great-grandma......
She went fishing for Kaizi. ”"Oh......
Shhhh ”The werewolves and wizards noticed Hao Ren's approach, and immediately silenced and showed a mixture of wariness and repulsion.Bai Huo is obviously the person who is being "taken care of" here, and everyone recognizes her face.The witcher girl didn't mind the situation, but she wasn't interested in smiling at the strangers, she walked past the young people who were pointing at her without squinting, and led Hao Renyan into a special lounge."
That's the case, I'm quite satisfied to be honest," Bai Huo said as he threw the large bag in his hand on the table, and took a long time from it, finding a few scrolls that looked quite old, "That's all the useful information. ”…… How dare she stuff such an important thing so casually!
Hao Ren took the scroll and began to study it carefully, while Bai Huo made some interpretations and additions on the side.The scrolls themselves are not the product of the Olympian "gods", but rather the investigation reports and business notes compiled by the witchers after the war, and these scrolls detail a series of "hunting" actions of the witchers after the fall of the Olympus line, that is, the process of chasing and killing the survivors who escaped by chance.The vast majority of survivors who escaped from Mount Olympus died in the hunt of witchers, some of whom hid for centuries before finally dying, and it is rare for someone like Hesperius to survive to this day."
Here, an acolyte has evaded dozens of hunts in a row, including a grand operation carried out by twenty elite hunters and three master hunters," Bai Huo pointed to a few lines of text on one of the scrolls, "This squire himself is unknown, he is only a servant on Mount Olympus, the only special thing is that he is trusted by Zeus, but in the process of pursuing him, he sacrificed double digits of witchers - all of them are powerful warriors who have fought a lot of battles. ”Vivien whispered, "Obviously, he carries a powerful 'artifact'. ”"That's right, there is indeed an artifact, here is the record of that artifact," Bai Huo pointed to the bottom of the scroll, "'The hunting target has a rather dangerous weapon, it is a dark scepter, inlaid with a huge blood-colored gem, the scepter can make the target's blood boil to death from a hundred meters away, or cause deadly bleeding and blight, and the master-level hunter can only resist this power slightly', I think this is very close to the ability of the countess." ”Hao Ren frowned and looked at Vivian: "Not only are they studying how to counteract the 'original sin' by worshipping you, but they are also studying your power?"
”Vivien frowned, too, "What about the others?"
”"Here," White Fire said, pulling out another scroll, "'The hunt target has been seen carrying a large number of case files, judging by the few fragments looted, this should be a batch of missing materials from the inventory of Olympian documents, which came from Athena, or is related to a series of strange ritual studies at the end of Olympus', and here, 'The hunt target has sought traces of the Countess of the Red Moon during his escape, suspects that she is trying to take refuge, and should complete the hunt before the countess provides him with refuge'. ”Hao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly: "It should be this." ”(To be continued.) )
