Chapter 115 The Apostle and the Forest of Gran
"What!" Su Yang looked at Simon in shock.
When Simon saw Su Yang's expression, he knew that he had not found the wrong person. At the same time, he sighed in his heart: "Lord Lilith is worthy of being a saint. Before leaving this time, she told me that she could learn some information about the apostles from Su Yang, which is indeed correct."
"Elder Simon, I heard it right, did you just say the apostle?" Su Yang said in disbelief.
"That's right, it's the apostle. It seems that Su Yang knows a lot about the apostle. Today, I'm the one who's looking for the right person." Simon said with a smile.
Su Yang sorted out his thoughts, and after a while he spoke, "Yes, I do have a little understanding of the apostles, but that's just a little bit of fur."
"It's enough to have a little superficial understanding. To be ashamed, my Magic Guild has stood in Arad for hundreds of years, and the books it has collected are not much different. But after searching through all the books, I couldn't find any information about the apostles. Even the name of the apostle was told by a mysterious prophet. Now, with your message from Su Yang, I think our understanding of the apostles will gradually deepen." Simon said excitedly.
"What? Your Magic Guild doesn't even have any information about the apostles? You're not kidding, Elder Simon." Su Yang looked at Simon in surprise.
"I'm not kidding, let alone our Magic Guild, I think few of the forces in the entire Arad continent know who this apostle is. If it weren't for the vision of the Glen Forest this time, we wouldn't have paid attention to this issue. So, please tell us everything you know about the apostle." Simon looked at Su Yang eagerly.
Su Yang was silent. According to his memory, in the original game settings, people on the Arad continent should have a certain understanding of the apostles after experiencing the Dark Holy War and a series of subsequent wars. Moreover, the fortune teller Alice, who had never appeared before, was fueled by the fire. But now it seems that the Arad continent where Su Yang is located, there is no dark holy war, no five saints, and no fortune teller Alice, which has led to the fact that the major forces on the continent have almost zero understanding of the apostles.
After all, games are just games. The world view and various information they set can only be used as reference for Su Yang today. If you blindly regard it as the source of information, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later.
"My friend Su Yang, what's wrong?" Simon looked at Su Yang who didn't say a word and asked.
"Oh, nothing, where did we talk about just now?" Su Yang called out.
“Talk about the apostles.”
"Yes, apostle, I only know a little about the apostle. After all, I have seen this information on a broken piece of paper in the ancient library. Unfortunately, the paper has become ashes because it is too old." Su Yang made up an excuse, and at the same time decided in his heart that the information about the apostle could only be said to Simon. After all, it is still unknown whether the apostle he knew is the same as the one that appeared on the Arad continent now.
Even so, if Su Yang revealed too much information and was confirmed, his origin would inevitably be remembered by some people who were interested. Su Yang did not forget that there was a mysterious young master watching him silently in the secret.
"So that's the case. What a pity. Most of the treasures of the ancient library have been destroyed a lot in the war. What a pity. But fortunately, you know a little bit more when you little friend Su Yang." Simon sighed twice, then looked at Su Yang with a burning gaze.
Seeing this, Su Yang coughed lightly and said, "Elder Simon, through the records on the paper in the ancient library, I probably have an understanding of the apostles. First of all, there are more than one apostles, and secondly, they have different forms and abilities. Finally, based on the records on the paper, I boldly guessed that the apostles should not be the indigenous in Arad continent, but a creature from the demon world."
"What! Demon World?!! Friend Su Yang, are you sure?" Simon looked at Su Yang in shock.
Su Yang thought for a moment and nodded, "I'm sure."
"It's impossible. The Demon World has been cut off from the Arad Continent for so long, and this apostle has only recently appeared in the Forest of Gran. There is no connection between the two." Simon kept murmuring.
However, Su Yang heard the crucial message of the apostle appearing in the Gran Forest from Simon's words, and immediately asked: "Elder Simon, is the news that the apostle you just appeared in the Gran Forest is true?"
Simon was stunned and then said, "I'm not sure. I just said it in desperation. This news has not been confirmed yet. This is just what the mysterious prophet told us. Because the situation in Gran Forest this time is indeed quite serious, the Caesar Empire royal family, which is closest to Gran Forest, asked our Magic Guild for help. After we conducted a preliminary investigation on the periphery of Gran Forest, we received the help of a mysterious prophet. He told us that the source of the change in Gran Forest comes from the apostles."
"So that's it. It seems that as long as we find this mysterious prophet, we can know whether the apostle really appeared in the Forest of Gran." Su Yang said.
Simon nodded, "Yes, we thought of it before, but when we went to the mysterious prophet's residence again, he was gone. In desperation, President Sharan decided to form an investigation team to go deep into the innermost situation of Gran Forest before making plans."
"Then elder, how did you know that I have a little understanding of the apostles?" Su Yang looked at Simon curiously.
Speaking of this, Simon smiled, "It's not from the Saint Maiden. Before I set off, the Saint Maiden asked me what the purpose of this trip was. I told her truthfully without hiding it. Then the Saint Maiden suggested that I come to you. Fortunately, the Magic Guild headquarters and various branches have established communication magic circles, and I learned about your whereabouts from Zhou Qingfeng, otherwise I would have really asked me to find a needle in a haystack."
"It turned out to be that little girl Lilith. I did mention it to her once, but I didn't expect that she remembered it so clearly." Su Yang thought to himself.
"So if there are no other questions, will you be willing to join our investigation team for this time?" Simon looked at Su Yang with hope.
Su Yang thought for a while and said, "No problem, I can join. But I still have a question, I hope Elder Simon, you can tell me the truth."
"You ask what questions?" After receiving Su Yang's affirmative answer, Simon waved cheerfully.
"My question is how serious the situation in Gran Forest is? Are the surrounding villages affected? And who participated in this investigation team and how strong is it?" Su Yang said a long sentence in one breath.
"Well, okay, since you have agreed to join the investigation team, you will know these situations sooner or later, so I won't hide them and tell you first." Simon paused and continued: "First of all, the situation in Gran Forest is very serious, and it should be said that it is very unoptimistic. About a month and a half ago, the low-level monsters outside Gran Forest began to appear in abnormal groups and constantly attack the surrounding villages. In just one and a half months, the villages near Gran Forest were basically attacked once, but fortunately the casualties were not too serious."
Hearing this, Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, just a week ago, on the eve of my preparation, a large number of high-level monsters suddenly emerged from the Forest of Gran, razing all the surrounding villages to the ground. It was not over yet. After the monsters attacked the villages, they gathered together and launched an attack on seven cities including Panshi City. Although the empire tried its best to stop them, they still suffered heavy losses." Simon sighed.
"What!" Su Yang's heart, which had just been relieved, sank into the bottom of the valley, and his brain was dizzy, and his mind kept echoing in his mind that the surrounding villages were razed to the ground.
"What's wrong? Friend Su Yang?" Looking at the shaky Su Yang, Simon hurriedly walked up to him and supported him.
"Elder Simon, interrupt, are there any survivors in the destroyed villages around Gran Forest?"
"This...sorry, I didn't hear of survivors when I came." Simon whispered. From Su Yang's performance, Simon could see that Su Yang had relatives living in the destroyed villages.
Su Yang's eyes turned black and he almost stopped breathing. He sat on the ground and calmed down for a while before he could soothe his inner fluctuations. He took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, Elder Simon, please continue."
Simon glanced at Su Yang with concern, and saw that Su Yang was determined and had to continue saying: "The monsters retreated into the Gran Forest after being repelled by the reinforcements from the Empire. Although there were no group of attacks again, sporadic attacks continued. So in order to find out the situation of Gran Forest, confirming what the mysterious prophet said, President Sharan sent three Magic Guild elders headed by me, plus the court mages of the Caesar Empire, a total of four people were the leaders, all with the sixth-level magicians. In addition, there was a knights of the Empire to guard us, and some mercenaries with strength ranging from level 3 to level 5 joined."
"There are a lot of people at the four sixth level, as well as a lot of third- to fifth level plus a knight group, but if the one in the Forest of Gran is really an apostle, it would probably be useless to come so many people." Su Yang thought to himself, but even so, it would not be able to change Su Yang's determination. Because he had already secretly vowed in his heart that he would avenge the villagers of Saen Village no matter what, even if he fought for this life.
With determination, Su Yang said to Simon immediately: "Since that's the case, when will we set off?"
Simon waved his hand, "No hurry. Although it is very chaotic near the Gran Forest now, since the Flame Empire also has part of its territory connected to the Gran Forest, President Shalan means to see if the Flame Empire is willing to help. This is also my main purpose in the Flame Empire, so please stay for a few days with Su Yang."
"This..." Su Yang hesitated a little.
"Is there any problem?"
"Elder Simon, do you think this is OK? I will go to the near Gran Forest to investigate first. Don't worry, I will not act rashly. When I arrive at Gran Forest, I will investigate and wait patiently for you to act together. How about you?" Su Yang suggested.
"Well...well." Simon agreed immediately.
"Thank you."
