Two hundred and seventy-four. Surrender of the exorcist
Time can bury everything and cover everything.
Not many people from the Strange Age remember the Canria Empire, just like not many people from the Strange Age know Belfast. They only know its current name - the Land of Light.
If the land of light disappears into the long night soon, it will gradually be lost and forgotten.
The Kanria Empire is located in the middle of the main continent, far away from the coast. The adjacent mountains and rivers are the traditional birthplace of an ancient civilization.
Before Lu Li set off, Tesla warned Lu Li to be careful of the weirdness of the Kanria Empire, especially the many weirdnesses that accompanied the growth of civilization and may have the shadow of the ancient ones.
Just as countless weird things lurk in the deep sea, so do the birthplaces of the oldest civilizations.
Lu Li, who traveled through the Kingdom of Allen and the Principality of Shire and entered the old Canria Empire, did find corresponding clues.
Strange ethnic groups are fighting and fighting along the territory of the old Kanria Empire. The ethnic groups are hostile to each other, like a meat grinding ground. But unlike the pure chaos of the wilderness, there is a strange order here - the weak still eat the strong, but the survival of the fittest follows.
Like the city of Abyss in hell, the old sewers in the wasteland.
Some of them are more like monsters wearing human skin, and what they do is only racially different from humans.
Perhaps as time goes by, they may derive new civilizations and be given alien names, such as orcs, undead, and spirits——
This tribal system even allows them to use weapons like earth dwellers.
It was also difficult to protect Lu Li from being discovered in the ghost world, so he had to carefully avoid the strange groups and approach the capital of the old Kanreia Empire.
The extra thousand points of humanity became a drag during the infiltration, and Lu Li had to consume nine-tenths of his humanity, leaving only the Dreamer who could use the full range two or three times.
After infiltrating, Lu Li did find the shadow of the alien gods in the lair built in the ruins - they seemed to follow the rules of the meat grinding ground: they issued an oracle to let the subordinates and servants fight all day long, sacrificed the flesh and blood of the enemies, and gave the subordinates and subordinates
Servant power, and then start a new battle——
In addition to the location of the Imperial Capital's Nest Forest and the location of the Exorcist Association's headquarters, Tesla also used an alchemical potion to temporarily enhance his memory and recall the address of an exorcist friend who once worked in the Association.
If the Demon Slayer Association headquarters is destroyed, maybe Lu Li can find something else here.
Passers-by Lu Li was looking for the headquarters and found the half-collapsed building from the road sign buried under the rubble. They went straight to the second floor where half of the beds were suspended. He found a diary hidden in a locked drawer in the cabinet.
The remaining ceiling blocks the rain, but the lock is covered with rust and the cabinet is rotten, but the diary is relatively intact.
There were only a dozen or so pages left in the diary that should have been dozens of pages thick. Many of the front pages had been torn out, leaving only a soliloquy-like text that let Lu Li know a few words from the past:
[I heard about what happened in King Allen City from the association... If the association were still like before, could they have stopped those floating catkins from the beginning? 】
[We, investigators, night watchmen... very good, the power of division is back, and we will be united again, like a clenched fist]
[That’s it? Why can’t we trust each other? How long have we been on guard against each other! This will harm us all!]
[We finally decided to unite, hope it’s not too late]
Then the handwriting of the content became chaotic and trembling, as if on a moving carriage, or a left hand that kept shaking:
[Brick, we are too late...all our efforts have been in vain...]
[Is the Tinder Plan still useful? The weirdos can't leave so easily but... we have no choice]
[Old man, it’s time for you to leave and find new hope]
Under the mottled and faded text, a few lines of relatively new text emerge:
[Twenty years later, I came back here again, phew... this place awakened many memories of my past, as well as this diary, I didn't expect it was not submerged in the basement...]
[We are wrong... No, we are right, it is them who are wrong. We should not resist the weird... The more we resist, the more they refuse to leave. The meaning of their invasion of our world is to kill all the native creatures, that is
us】
[Fire can only burn for a hundred years, I hope they will have left by then]
[I don’t know where I’m going. I might go east to see my homeland, the Kingdom of Allen, and go from the port to the deserted land. But in fact, maybe I will disappear with the night after dark]
The diary ends everywhere.
Because of the frequency of "we" appearing, Lu Li guessed that the owner of the diary lacked recognition or yearned for recognition. Other than that, there were only incomprehensible and trivial messages.
Lu Li didn't like this kind of riddle, but the diary itself was just a diary that recorded "the part that I wanted to expose."
The confirmed truth is: the division between the slayers, investigators, and the Night Watch is not as harmonious as described, at least they are constantly at odds with each other. Even if the three major organizations cooperated after the Bloody Dandelion, the rifts have not been alleviated. Knowing that the weird era is approaching,
But it was too late.
Rick mentioned the Tinder Plan and revealed a few words of the plan. It seemed not as pure as it appeared...
In the end, Rick was still alive, and returned to his hometown a few years ago, witnessed everything that happened here, left his last words, and set off for the East.
Lu Li closed the diary and summoned the businessman to explain two things: "Let the Wiener Dungeon search for an exorcist from Rick, and ask Tesla, have the exorcists, night watchmen, and investigators ever been at odds with each other?"
"
The former takes time, the latter is confirmed quickly:
The original split in the Exorcist Society was not purely about dividing responsibilities.
Regarding the historical factors of the Exorcist Association, abbreviated explanation is that the Exorcist Association at that time was divided into three ideologies. They were the prototypes of the three major organizations. As time went by, the differences expanded and accelerated the split. In the end, the Exorcist Association
The association became slayers, investigators, and night watchmen.
They do not trust each other and only think that they can solve the weird, but they inevitably deal with each other. Although the Demon Slayer has a profound background, there are few members left and is silent. The Investigator and the Night Watch are well-known because they joined the human kingdom, and are relatively relatively
Harmony.
The Fire Project is the first secret cooperation between the three major organizations: on the surface, a shelter is built to preserve the fire, but no one knows the deeper part: the Exorcist Association firmly believes that weirdos will leave after exterminating mankind.
So at the end of the weird era, they took the initiative to die.
The reason why the Exorcist Association believes so strongly is unknown.
Lu Li originally had no intention of digging into the past of the three major organizations. That was what historians needed to do, unless he discovered the truth while investigating "The Dream Demon".
