While Hao Ren was chatting with La Nina, he suddenly saw the temple door not far away opening, and a familiar figure, Hasselblad, came out of it.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it..." Hao Ren muttered, "Let's just settle this matter today."
The terrible current situation in Corpus has kept Hasselblad busy for days, with almost no time to breathe.
And he also has to deal with his messy and mushy mind.
Although the dark power of the God-killing Sword has dissipated, its whispers have affected all demon hunters who have been trapped in the cracks of time and space, and Hasselblad is no exception. Moreover, the time and space created after the mutation of the Spirit World Clock Tower
The distortion also damaged the spirit of the trapped people to a certain extent. Hasselblad and other demon hunters who came out of the spiritual world clock tower are still troubled by a sequelae called "soul-leaving syndrome".
But compared to the Corpus Rebellion that just ended, this sequelae is nothing.
Hao Ren and La Nina left the high platform to greet Hasu. The two called out several times before the old hunter finally woke up from his thoughts. Seeing this, Hao Ren could only helplessly twitch his lips: "Hasu, soul-leaving syndrome
Is the situation still serious?”
Hasselblad quickly adjusted his facial expression and regained some of his usual calm expression. There was an awkward smile in one of his one eyes: "It has gotten better. The visual and auditory hallucinations almost no longer occur. I just just
Thinking about something."
Hao Ren touched his chin and felt that even a demon hunter of Hasselblad's level was troubled by Soul Leaving Syndrome, and it was even more conceivable that the situation of other demon hunters who were inferior to him was even more conceivable. These guys can withstand it.
It is not easy to persist in completing the reconstruction work with such a chaotic mind.
Soul-leaving syndrome is a common sequela of those demon hunters who have been trapped in the tower. It may be due to being trapped in the gap of time and space for a long time. Their senses have deteriorated to varying degrees, and they are often mentally exhausted.
, in addition to various troublesome symptoms such as the perception of the passage of time being out of touch with reality, short-term memory impairment, etc. Fortunately, Yzaks concluded after an examination that these symptoms were temporary, and the symptoms were considered to be temporary.
People's bodies are different, and they will fully recover within a few days to a month, and Hasselblad's symptoms improve the fastest.
"Originally, I wanted to wait until you all recover from the Soul Leaving Syndrome before we formally discuss this matter, but I still have a lot of things to be busy with," Hao Ren touched his chin. "And it seems that your Soul Leaving Syndrome is not serious enough to affect you personally.
level of judgment, so it’s almost time…”
Hasselblad heard Hao Ren's serious tone, and his expression immediately became serious. His voice was low and even a little nervous: "What's important?"
Hao Ren suddenly looked at Hasselblad strangely: "Why are you so nervous all of a sudden?"
Hasselblad continued to look nervous and serious: "The last time you spoke in this tone was to tell me the truth about the 'Original Sin of Divine Blood', and then there was civil unrest in Corpus a few days after I came back. Later I heard from the countess.
You say your mouth has a magical power. So what do you want to say this time?"
Hao Ren: "..."
Even La Nina, who was always calm next to her, almost couldn't help it. The succubus sister's face was so suppressed that she was almost deformed, her thin tail was twisting hard in the air, and the devil's wings behind her were shaking like a cramp.
. Hao Ren felt that he couldn't stand it: "... Laugh if you want. Lao Wang is not here."
La Nina's tail was almost twisted into a knot: "Pfft... no... I am my king's military advisor... I can't express my emotions and anger..."
Hao Ren: "...Okay, okay, you don't show your emotions or anger, hurry up and report it to Lao Wang, just say that I want to announce that big thing. Also, don't forget to find Lily, that guy most likely didn't follow
The others are together, you should be able to find them if you go to the kitchen and look for them."
After Hao Ren finished his instructions, La Nina, a succubus who claimed to be intangible to emotions and anger, fluttered her wings and flew into the distance with a twisted expression of suppressed laughter. Hao Ren looked back with a confused face: "Why didn't you know this before?
This sister is so funny... La Nina! You flew backwards! The officer barracks are on the left!"
After La Nina finally flew towards the officers' barracks, Hao Ren turned to Hasselblad: "I have something to announce, which is related to the historical heritage of the demon hunters and the truth about the Saints. This matter may subvert your world view. To China
There is a huge impact on the lower-level demon hunters, so I can’t tell everyone directly.”
Hasselblad immediately reacted: "Convene the current 'New Presbyterian Council'?"
After the collapse of the original ruling structure, Hasselblad and the respected figures among the demon hunters urgently organized a new leadership team. This improvised leadership team included the surviving high-ranking patriarchs of the Presbyterian Order and those outside the Order.
The elder class demon hunters, as well as some qualified master demon hunters who showed outstanding leadership and organizational skills in this civil war, White Fire and Tutanin are also among them.
All the saints were wiped out, not even a tenth of the elders remained, and more than half of the original council members died. As a result, even young people like Bai Huo became the leader class.
"...Only the elders are called, and they are the most mature, stable and rational people you trust," Hao Ren thought for a moment. "Bai Huo and Tutanin are also called, they already know about this matter.
It’s over.”
The expression on Hasu's face changed slightly, and his brows wrinkled involuntarily: "Could it be...that thing about the First Saint..."
"Bai Huo has told you?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "Yeah. I expected that she would reveal something to you. Yes, that's it."
Hasselblad took a deep breath: "She didn't tell me much, but I found some changes when I checked the ancient classics... Okay, I know the nature of this matter, I will call everyone together."
An hour later, Hasselblad summoned the people who were qualified to participate in the meeting. La Nina also gathered up the few people running around on Hao Ren's side, and everyone came to a spacious room in the great temple, preparing to face a
The truth that is about to overturn all demon hunters' views.
The huge room was as spacious as a hall. Sitting at the long table in the center of the room were dozens of demon hunters with serious, tired or confused expressions. These were all the elder leaders that Hasselblad could find.
Several people on Hao Ren's side were sitting at the end of the long table. Vivian was sorting out the information at hand with a serious look on her face. Nangong's family of four were sitting upright in the background. Yzaks and La Nina were talking in a low voice about the current situation of Demon King City.
Even little Elizabeth, who usually had a lot of questions, sat aside calmly: she had a half-disassembled small radio on hand, which was enough for her to play with for an hour.
However, Lily, one of the main protagonists of this meeting, was dozing off on the table, with her saliva flowing all over the floor...
"What's wrong with this guy?" Hao Ren frowned and asked Vivian in a low voice.
Vivian sighed: "I ate barbecue last night to hold up. I couldn't sleep and ran around in the middle of the night. Today I slept like a dead dog in broad daylight."
Hao Ren: "..."
"Ahem, everyone is here," Hasselblad stood up and coughed twice to break the silence, "Then we can start."
Hao Ren glanced sideways at Lily, put the completely hopeless husky aside, and then stood up and glanced at everyone present: "...then, all of you here are the current top leaders of the demon hunters. Let's talk to each other.
There is no need for introductions and formalities, and I believe that Hasselblad has vaccinated everyone in advance. What we are going to talk about today is of great importance. I hope that everyone here can view everything in a calm, objective and far-sighted way."
If it were the demon hunter group before the Corpus Civil War, they would probably have dismissed such a warning from a foreign race, or even responded tit for tat. However, after the Corpus Rebellion, the surviving demon hunters have long
The interviewers all changed a lot. They all became serious and showed great concern to Hao Ren's words.
Hao Ren waved his hand to the side, and several legion demon guards immediately stepped forward and placed many large boxes on the long conference table.
After opening the box, the elders found that it contained ancient scrolls, documents, and sacred objects belonging to the witcher. Although each one was quite old and obviously not used in contemporary times, they all bore the witcher's logo.
Nangong and his son, Claude, Bai Huo, and Tutanin stood up on their own initiative, divided these things into several piles, sent them to the elders, and asked the latter to circulate them on their own.
"These..." Elder Gregorian was one of the most knowledgeable and senior elders present. He quickly judged the value of these things from certain characteristics on these ancient objects and the residue of their breath, "This is the teaching
Information about the early days of the founding of the regiment! Where did you find these things?”
"Let's take a look first," Hao Ren said, indicating to the elders not to investigate the source of these things. "This is just a part, the most representative part. I think there may be a few people present who have vaguely heard the news.
About your group of saints, about the early society of demon hunters, and about the curse of the sword of darkness... everything you want to know is in these ancient documents." (To be continued.)
