Schiller sat in the office of the municipal building, staring at a document. What appeared on the document was the logo of Oddine Medical Equipment Manufacturing Company.
However, unlike Batman's strangeness, Schiller is very familiar with this logo, because it is the logo of the Order Order in the original work.
Then again, Gotham history. In the original comics, the process of Emmond Wayne, the ancestor of the Wayne family, came to the New World, was full of twists and turns.
Although he is a descendant of the Wayne family, because he has been away from home for too long, his original relatives have died in the plague, and no one can prove his identity.
In that era, it was a serious crime to pretend to be a nobleman. Eimmond Wayne was arrested and was about to be exiled as a liar who pretended to be Lord Wayne.
At this time, a priest named Bakar saved him. The priest claimed to be from the Order Order Order, and with his sword swing, he killed the guards guarding Eymond, rescued him, and suggested that he go together.
Rebuild your own family in the New World.
Bakar did this not entirely to help Eimmond. He wanted to spread the gospel of the Order Order in the New World, but the Gotham Valley was filled with pirates and smugglers at that time, and a clergy couldn't make any sense here.
Baccar wanted to reorganize the Gotham order, but in that era, only the nobles could be lords. Without bloodline and identity, even if he killed General Arkham, he would not be able to become a legitimate ruler. So he pulled him up.
Eimmond Wayne, who had a noble status, aimed to become the lord of Gotham with the help of Eimmond's identity as Lord.
Regarding the Order Clan of Bakar, there are not many mentions in the comics. This is a Clan that respects "fire extermination".
Among a series of God’s faith, there are two statements about the destruction of the world: one is the destruction of the world by flood, and the other is the destruction of the world by flame.
The story about the former is well known, because such sects achieved the ultimate victory, allowing God to destroy the world and create Noah's Ark to be widely circulated.
But at the same time, the denominations that followed God would bring down fires and burn all the denominations were also prevalent, and the two sides fought endlessly.
At that time, Britain, which ruled by the Puritans, turned all similar sects into cults, including the Order Order Order.
Schiller speculated that perhaps it was because the Order Order Order in the UK was suppressed too much that they had to send pastors like Bakar to explore the new world and spread their faith.
However, on the surface, their pioneering behavior was not successful. Instead, the Catholicism believed by the Irish people became the main sect of Gotham. In a sense, this also defeated the Puritans.
When Schiller read the original comics, he thought the Order Clan would be the biggest villain. Unfortunately, the comic editor did not describe the organization in depth. Although there were many foreshadowings in the front, he ended up quickly and could not see any clues.
.
It is precisely because of this that Schiller was more vigilant. Did the Order Clan really not win back then? Or did they just rule here in a different way?
Schiller stood up from the table and walked to another desk. There was a Gotham topographic map. Gotham is a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. The most eye-catching thing in the topographic map is the sea.
Gotham River.
Schiller stared at the map for a while and finally pinned a red pin to the Gotham Reservoir upstream of the Gotham River.
Schiller supported his hands in front of the table and carefully observed the direction of the water veins on the topographic map. In fact, there was no need for special professional knowledge, so he could see that the Gotham River channel had been artificially modified.
The upper reaches of the Gotham River is a valley where streams flow out from the mountains and gradually gather water veins from all directions to form a river.
But the angle of the valley is somewhat different from that of the current Gotham River. Without human intervention, the upstream river would not be what it is now.
Schiller also used a pen to draw a sign on the river's transformation, and the map showed that it was the old dam in Gotham.
In Gotham's history, among the outstanding contributions made by Gotham Lord Emund Wayne to Gotham, the most famous one is to lead workers to build Gotham Dam, manage floods, and restore navigation in the Gotham River.
But Schiller, who has read the comics, knows that the river renovation project is not just to clear the route, but more to cover up the former site of Gotham Village.
Nowadays, there should be the ruins of the earliest Gotham village at the bottom of the water. Eimmond deliberately diverted the river here in order to flood the reservoir and cover up the early historical truth.
This is actually what Schiller was most puzzled when reading comics. He couldn't see what Eimmond was doing.
When Gotham was still a village, General Arkham ruled here. They defeated General Arkham, cleared up pirates and smugglers, and successfully built the place into a city.
If you want to erase the traces of General Arkham's rule, you can simply flatten the village and rebuild the city buildings, and there will definitely be no trace left.
But Eimmond kept the ruins of the village and just covered the ruins with water, which made it a little more obvious.
This reminded Schiller of religious factors.
In the original work, the Order Order Clan advocated flames, but did not mention what Eimmond Wayne believed in.
He came from the Wayne family in England, and Britain was ruled by the Puritans in that era. Is there a possibility that Eimmond Wayne was actually a Puritan?
The struggle between him and Bakar was not just a disagreement between the two of them, but also a possibility that it was still a religious struggle in essence.
From a religious perspective, Eymond's behavior of transforming rivers and covering up the ruins has another explanation. He is recreating the process of God's flood, which is a religious declaration.
When he was in a downturn, he had to use the power of Baccar to build his own city in the New World. But when he got Gotham, he exposed his true identity. He did not believe in flames, but respected the flood.
He did not want the faith of the Order Order to spread here, and he couldn't wait to let the Puritans grow up here and gain a place in the New World, so he changed the river and built the Gotham Reservoir according to the process of floods.
This may be the beginning of the breakup between Bakar and Eimmond, because at this moment, their core interests have diverged.
But after staring at the map for a long time, Schiller felt that although this speculation made sense, it was a little far-fetched.
Because building a dam is not a small project. At that time, Eimmond should have just ruled Gotham, and his foundation was unstable, but he was eager to launch such a large project, which seemed a little too impatient.
Schiller prefers that he doesn't want to do this, but that he has to do this. But what is forcing him to flood Gotham Village?
Schiller didn't have time to think about it here. Since he had a problem, he would immediately know the answer. So he soon drove to Gotham Reservoir.
Coincidentally, Batman is here too.
After carefully reading the diary of his ancestors, he found that the village ruled by General Arkham described by Eimmond was not in the same position as the city center of Gotham.
In other words, the new Gotham was not built on the basis of Gotham Village, but gave up the foundation of Gotham Village, found another place, and built a city.
This is obviously illogical. Batman is also wondering what exactly made Eimmond give up Gotham Village and build a new city.
Based on clues in the diary, Batman speculated the location of the original Gotham Village. After discovering that Gotham Village turned out to be the current Gotham Reservoir, he also recalled the action of Eimmond to establish a dam to divert the river.
He believes that there may be secrets buried in Gotham Village.
Schiller stood at the other end of the reservoir and watched Batman walking towards the edge of the reservoir. He stood behind a tree and did not let Batman discover him. Only after Batman entered the water did he slowly come to the water.
Batman went into the water first, and Schiller did not rush to follow him, but observed the terrain around the reservoir.
There is a forest land on the east side of the reservoir. It is obviously the abundant water veins here that nourish the trees and form a forest. But from here and to the east, it is the natural forest land that was previously polluted by the Chalabon factory.
After using gray fog to check the groundwater veins and plant roots, Schiller discovered that the forest next to the reservoir and the natural forest land belong to the same forest system, both of which grew on the basis of the groundwater veins of the Gotham Reservoir.
This discovery is much more important than the Gotham Village ruins of the Gotham Underground Reservoir. There may not be any clues in the village, but if the pollution at the Charabang Chemical Plant is not an accident, it points directly to the Gotham Reservoir, it proves that the river is
It is indeed not easy to change the way.
Although he gained something, Schiller still felt that he was indeed not suitable to be a detective. He was too lazy to investigate what happened decades ago or even hundreds of years ago, and then combined it with these clues in modern times to conduct inference analysis.
.This is obviously the work Batman should do.
Anyway, they can't help the revolution in Gotham City now, so let's use some of their remaining energy to help investigate historical events.
However, after he finished investigating, he might not be able to tell him directly, so he still had to do some insurance.
While Batman was swimming in the reservoir, Schiller came to Jason's room in Wayne Manor. Jason is still in a coma.
Schiller has two types of capsules in his hand: one is the red wine given to him by Naiya, which is the reward for the running group dungeon, which can make people fall into hallucinations forever and will not wake up.
Some people who Schiller did not need him to wake up were taking this capsule, such as Miss Charabon and the addicts on Bourbon Street. The ingredients in this capsule have been proven to be unanalyzed by any technology in this universe.
.
Others Schiller just hoped that the people who were temporarily unconscious were taking another capsule, which contained a part of the gray fog. The gray fog would just temporarily make their brains sleep without causing any harm, and would also help.
They checked their bodies. Jason and the Pale Knight took this capsule.
Schiller came to Wayne Manor to awaken Jason.
As soon as Jason woke up, before he could ask Schiller what was going on, he was knocked out by the huge number of clues given to him by Schiller.
The Order Order Clan hundreds of years ago, the great achievements of the Wayne family, the Odein Company suddenly emerged, the mysterious Gotham Reservoir and natural woodland...
Looking at Jason's focused expression, Schiller knew that the detectives and father and son would be very busy next time.
