The Journey of the Demon Hunter

The viewing platform is worthy of the name.

But the viewing platform is not empty. At the same time as the clatter of the lake, the sound of the rocking chair swayed into the ears of the demon hunter.

"I remember you, young man... I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Chapter 601 The Dust-covered Secret

Very old voice.

This sound made the demon hunter's footsteps pause slightly. He had imagined what kind of people he would meet at Bayerworkers College, how weird he would meet, or how disgusting experiments he would see. But he never imagined that he would see the old man lying in a rocking chair in front of him.

"Master William?"

Zelin asked in an incredibly soft voice.

"Wait, did I hear you wrong? Who are you talking about?" Irene widened her eyes and looked at the old man lying in a rocking chair in disbelief. "Master William?"

Master William, the scholar who first discovered the corpses of ancient gods, the dean who founded the Byerworkers College, the oldest and most profound researcher, and the elder who has the most profound knowledge of ancient gods.

A man who should have died long ago.

"I still remember you..." Master William was still wearing that wide white robe. The robe was still neat, but it had become dim and faded. As for the light blue robe that was draped outside, countless embroidered with each other. The strange tentacles together have been drooping to the ground. Under the towering felt hat are two blindfolded grey cloths. Master William is holding a finely crafted metal scepter. The tentacles spread from the lower end to the top of the metal scepter, and they branch like countless snakes at the top. , But it is not the snake head that separates it, but the eyes that grow on the head of the tentacles. Each tentacles is connected to a big eye, and they finally come together and stare at each other.

"Yes, in the cathedral, you are with Lawrence and Mansis."

"Wait, you, did you know Master William in the past? He is really Master William? He is at least a hundred years ago?" Irene obviously doubted the identity of Master William. "Be careful, this is a dreamland, who knows it will What happened."

"Relax, Irene. After we solve the trouble here, I will tell you why."

Such suspicion is excusable. If a person who lived hundreds of years ago, has died in the record and has not left a portrait, suddenly appears in front of him, suspicion is inevitable.

"I thought you should be dead." Zelin looked at the old Master William. Even in the age when Old Yanan has not been destroyed, Church Town is only in its embryonic form, and the new Yanan Center is nowhere to be seen, Master William’s age is considered old enough for humans. Now, he looks like It's a slightly swollen body "Why are you here? I don't understand... Wait, Caryl is your student, right?"

Zelin suddenly thought of the red witch's past self-introduction. She was once a member of Bayer Watkins and one of the best disciples of Master William.

"Not the smartest, but the wisest student." Master William said slowly. He was lying on the rocking chair, his eyes covered by the cloth strips, but Zelin felt that he had been looking at him all the time, and Master William had never left his sight.

"She knows that you are still at BayerWorks, right?" Zellin took a step forward. "Or, after the orphan of Coase, you let Caryl leave BayerWorks and go to the church. The town’s chapel?" The demon hunter took another step forward. "You know everything? Caryl told me that the secret is in Byer Watkins. What does that mean?"

The secrets are hidden in Byerworkers College.

The witch in red once told him this.

"I know you have a lot of things you want to know, a foreigner." Master William's rocking chair shook slightly. He seemed to be an old man enjoying a vacation. His words were flat and gentle. "Your hometown is too far from Yanan, too far, I I shouldn’t have said anything to you, but everything is over. No one cares about an old man’s nagging words. Listen, you will be the only one who knows the truth and answers to the whole incident."

The **** moon hangs high, rubbing a disturbing red on the tranquil lake.

"Do you know my hometown?"

"Eyes... let me see too many things." Master William's words were vague. "But we are not here to talk about our hometown, right?"

"Yes, and I don't want Yanan's experience to come to my hometown." The demon hunter doesn't know what kind of power the ancient gods here have, but it must be a bad thing for such creatures to reach their own world. "Tell me, the beginning and the process of all this."

"This disaster originally originated from an archaeological excavation in the underground labyrinth of Baierwork." The rocking chair swayed back and forth, and Master William fell into his own memory. The little-known history "Yanan past There is an unknown ancient civilization called the Sumerians. No one knows why these Sumerians and their queen suddenly disappeared from history until someone found Sumer in the forest near Yanan The ruins of the Lu people, this is an exciting discovery, an opportunity to unlock the mysterious history of Yanan. But later, I realized that this is not an opportunity. We opened the door to the underground labyrinth of the Sumerians, and we will inside The madness was released."

In this excavation, scholars have found many things that are difficult to explain with normal knowledge. Countless unheard knowledge and mysterious powers gradually appear in front of them as they dig deeper into the underground maze. The scope of the underground labyrinth is vast, so scholars established the Baier Wokings College above the underground labyrinth to study the mysterious knowledge found in the Sumerian ruins. Mutation, evolution, wonderful resonance bell, mysterious golden cup. Countless unheard, even incomprehensible mysteries and miracles appeared one after another in the academy.

"But disasters have gradually emerged."

There was a trace of pain in Master William’s voice. "Crazy, one scholar after another fell into madness, died in madness, or disappeared in the maze and never appeared again. The monsters in the maze killed many people, but we got the most important thing. A revelation."

"Eyes, we must get eyes, so that humans can see the essence of the world, realize the deeper existence, and evolve from human beings to higher existences. You have seen those eyes, yes, we didn’t understand the eyes at first. What's the meaning. The outer eye? The inner eye? Or try to link more eyes to the brain? Or abandon the lowered eyes of human beings? The power of the blood of the gods gave birth to new eyes. For this reason, Byer Watkins conducted the first upgrade experiment."

"You failed."

"It's obvious."

The wind gently blew across the lake, slightly stirring Ze Lin's hair. Irene sat slantingly beside Zelin with her legs close together, and when the wind blew, the crowfeather cloak rustled.

"That failure caused me to lose many excellent students, and many familiar people became terrible monsters in the failed experiment. At that time, I realized that we were wrong. Human beings are so fragile, so small, so small. I can't help myself, thinking that we can control the power of the ancient gods and seize the wisdom of the ancient gods. We... are nothing more than a tiny piece of dust in the universe."

Fearless evolution will only lead to the extinction of our race.

Master William made this point after the experiment failed.

Byer Wokings must be closed, the excavation of the underground maze must be stopped, any knowledge and clues related to the ancient gods must be blocked, and time will be completely buried here. This knowledge that humans shouldn't understand should return to the ground and dust without the sky.

"I see the harm caused by the knowledge of ancient gods. Sometimes, how I wish the underground labyrinth had never been discovered, how much I hope that the ancient gods, like the Sumerians who worshiped them in the past, disappeared in the long river of history and time. ."

The bright moonlight illuminates the endless lake, and the demon hunter feels a rare tranquility in Yanan.

"Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of happiness. Only when we lose it, we will realize it." Master William shook the scepter slightly. "The rest, you should know. Lawrence --- my poor student ——-Come to my office on the night I announced the closure of the college."

Master William's cane was resting on his shoulders, and the end was facing the demon hunter, to be precise, an eye on the end.

"I... will never forget... Lawrence came to my room and said to me, I'll say goodbye to you."

Chapter 602: The curtain call of a piece of history

"Master William, I'm here to bid you farewell."

In the dim darkness, the hollow voice rang, the voice of a young man, his tone did not contain a trace of emotion, even if he said goodbye, there was no feeling of parting. The demon hunter knew the voice, Lawrence, the bishop of the Healing Church, the man who brought the blood of the ancient gods out of Byerworkers Academy.

"Oh, I know, I know."

Master William's voice was full of disdain and a touch of sadness. It seemed that the young man made the decision to leave, which surprised the master and felt sad.

An oil lamp appeared in the darkness. It drove away the darkness. The demon hunter saw that it was a dim room with only a candle lit. Master William was half lying on a rocking chair, with messy books stacked at his feet. There was a big jar that didn't know what was in it, and the wooden cabinet beside it was neatly filled with books.

"Do you want to betray me now?"

At this time, Master William hadn't appeared so weak. The brand-new and heavy robe on his body showed that the maker's handwork was very delicate. Here is a robe that can only be worn by a leader of a school.

"No, but I won't listen to you." Lawrence said to Master William. "I said, I won't forget our precepts."

"...We started with the blood of the ancient gods, grew up under the blood of the ancient gods, and eventually shattered because of it." Master William murmured, "Our vision is not broad enough... fear the blood of the ancient gods."

This is Master William’s retention and advice.

But Lawrence has decided to go.

"I must leave now."

The man turned around, his back to the lantern, his face completely hidden in the dark. The sound of footsteps that followed did not hesitate at all. Lawrence walked very resolutely, without any nostalgia for this place, or hesitation caused by the warning of Master William. It wasn't until the sound of footsteps completely disappeared in the deep corridor of the teaching building that Master William's sentimental voice slowly sounded.

"Swear it."

"Fear the blood of the old god."
