Seeing the silence between the two, Quins tried to change the subject and said: "Old Schmidt, can you tell me about hell? Why did Deto say that hell was formed in the third era? What does this have to do with the sacrificial ceremony?"
In fact, Quins didn't quite understand what he heard in the Tomb of the Inferi, but it was inconvenient to ask too many questions when outsiders were present.
"Yes, yes, I'm surprised too. Hasn't hell always existed? Why did it only take shape in the Third Age?" Shotgun yelled.
The pipe in Old Schmidt's hand hit the head of the shotgun hard, "I tell you to read more books, but you just don't listen. With your third-level authority, you have already been able to access this mysterious knowledge."
"Reading is so boring." Shotgun muttered.
Old Schmidt adjusted his posture in the wheelchair, slowly lit his pipe, and then said: "If you want to understand the formation of hell that Deto said, you have to start from the beginning of the mysterious history."
"You should all be aware of the well-known legends of the creation of the two ancient creation beasts in the mysterious world. After the death of the two ancient creation beasts, the multiverse was born. This was the beginning of the first era and the cold ancient era. At that time,
There are only two worlds in the multiverse that are both positive and negative, two in one. One is the material world composed of the material body of the ancient creation beast, and the other is the spiritual world derived from the broken spirituality of the ancient creation beast.
World. Material affects spirituality, and spirituality in turn derives from matter. These are two interdependent worlds."
"With the development of the universe, according to the characteristics of spiritual aggregation, many spiritual spirits with similar characteristics began to slowly converge. Gradually, various boundaries began to appear in the vast spiritual world. These boundaries were not created for no reason, but were caused by material
The existence in the world affects the aggregation of these spiritualities. For example, hell is the original sin produced by the spirituality of creatures in the material world, which affects the bizarre spirituality in the spiritual world, and then slowly forms a boundary, and finally after a long process
, derived from the current hell. It can be said that hell is both separated from the spiritual world and within the spiritual world."
"The reason why Bob's sacrificial meeting failed is because the formation of the Baka calendar rune system was born according to the conditions of hell at that time. In the early days of the birth of hell, the hell creatures only had a superficial understanding of hell, and they did not acquire the knowledge of hell.
Various authorities in the Baka Calendar rune system, so in the Baka calendar rune system, the direction of the runes representing the great will of hell is very vague, but this vague direction was enough for the existence of sacrifices to hell at that time, because no matter how vague, in the end,
All sacrifices will be directed towards hell itself."
"But now, after several epochs of development, the Baka calendar rune system has begun to lag behind the times, because hell is developing, and as hell creatures understand hell and acquire various hell powers, this vague direction will definitely appear.
The problem is that the probability of being intercepted by various high-level creatures in hell is very high. This is the fundamental reason for Bob’s failure.”
Speaking of this, Old Schmidt gave Quins a meaningful look.
Quins thought thoughtfully. According to old Schmidt, obviously, the older the occult knowledge is, the better. The most important thing is to see whether the knowledge can adapt to the current era. The most typical example is the emergence of esoteric traditions.
.So if you really acquire some ancient mystical knowledge, experienced extraordinary people know that what they have to do is not to copy it, but to absorb the essence inside and transform it into something suitable for them in the current era, or make some applicable modifications.
Transformation. For Quines, this is the best warning, because others may not have many opportunities to come into contact with ancient knowledge. But he is different. In the future, he will definitely exchange all kinds of ancient knowledge.
"Such as the star realm of the tombs of gods, dreams, shadow realms, abyss, the sea of collective subconsciousness of living things, etc., are all the same as hell and were born from the spiritual world."
Shotgun said with great interest: "I have learned a lot, I have learned a lot."
After clearing up the confusion, he naturally continued the previous topic: "Do you think that hell creature is related to that thing?" At this point in time, Quins couldn't help but think about that, and even Quins couldn't help but think about it.
I can guess that many other forces will also think about that.
"Of course it does matter." In the Iron Rose Mansion, Fanny Cecil sat elegantly by the window, answering the respectful attendant who stood in front of Fanny Cecil who asked the question...Kingsley Williams, the proposer
One of the two existing deputy directors in Georgia.
Fanny Cecil did not continue the topic of hellish creatures, but instead asked: "How is the internal investigation of the Investigation Department? Are there any problems with Bennett and Robert?"
Kingsley: "At present, there is no problem with both of them, and further investigation will be conducted in the future."
Fanny Cecil closed her eyes and murmured: "No? Stand back. If you have any news, please report it at any time."
Kingsley bowed and slowly exited the room.
Butler Wood stepped out of the shadows and stood behind Fanny Cecil: "Your Highness, there is news from Alice that traces of hell creatures have been detected in the dock area."
Fanny Cecil: "Dockside? Alice has done a good job. Let her focus on supervision and not act rashly."
Steward Wood: "Yes."
After returning from the cemetery, all the forces were secretly looking for the hellish creature that escaped from the cemetery. For a while, Tigue entered a strange state of calm, but the turbulence in the darkness was felt by everyone.
Even Quins and Shotgun were sent out by Old Schmidt to look for the disappeared hell creature. Of course, Quines would only really look for the hell creature if he had a problem in his mind. It is estimated that he would find it by the time he found it.
, it is also when he is dead, so currently he mainly focuses on enhancing his own strength, and doing his own thing is the correct operation.
In William's alchemy workshop, Quins entered with familiarity. For several days, Quins spent most of his time here, not for anything else but for the huge amount of basic material copper essence.
During the few days in the workshop, Quines participated in the entire process of refining copper essence. It can be said that copper essence is almost zero cost to William. The massive amount of garbage accumulated underground in the dock area has destroyed the refined copper.
The source of fine materials is completely a business without capital.
"You're here." William has not left the workshop these days.
"Yeah!" Quins nodded and sat down in his seat.
William put down the steam bullet he had just refined and asked strangely: "What? No copper essence will be smelted today?"
Quins nodded lightly: "10,000 pounds of copper essence have been refined, which is enough for now. According to the agreement, I will give you 4 ingots of level 1 copper essence by then." According to the previous agreement between Quines and William
, for every 5 ingots of level 1 copper essence refined, Quines needs to pay William 1 ingot.
William: "When can I get it?"
Quines: "Five days later." Five days later, it will be the beginning of the new month of January and September. When the time comes to recall the furnace of all things, Quines can refine 20 ingots of level 1 copper essence in one go, and remove William's 4 ingots.
There are 16 ingots left. Even if you take into account the 8 witchcraft cards that will be born in the future, there are still 2 ingots left, which is enough at this stage.
"Waiting for your good news." William didn't ask why it was five days later. Everyone has their own secrets, so why should he ask more? Just like himself, Quins had always turned a blind eye to his abnormalities, and the two of them
We have gotten along quite well with each other these days.
Quince: "What's the situation like with your family? Now that I've freed up my hands, it's time to start the cleanup plan. Now that multiple forces are intertwined, it's a good opportunity to make a move."
William calculated for a moment and said: "The family side looks very peaceful, but I have noticed that many new faces have recently entered the Pier Gang through the family, and part of the cleanup plan can be carried out."
"Very good," Quins snapped his fingers: "Has the person chosen to frame the fault?"
"Ten Thousand Snakes, the Evil Spirit Society, and the Court of Night. Choose one of the three." William said without hesitation, obviously he already had a conspiracy in his mind.
"It's pretty much what I thought. So what's the first goal?"
"My uncle Conrad Dart, no, the guy pretending to be my uncle."
Quins: "Oh? It's very difficult from the beginning. Are you sure it's okay?"
William snorted: "Saruna is just a small place. The highest level that can be sent here is level 4. The guy pretending to be my uncle is only level 3. If there are two of us, as long as we plan properly, we can kill him."
No problem."
Quins: "Is it a small place?" Quins had to admit that Saruna is really a small place, and Tigue is a small place among small places. The three rings can already run rampant here. If it weren't for
With things like this happening now, it would be difficult for Quines to even meet big figures like Snake Mother and Fanny Cecil.
William handed Quins a stack of information: "This is some information about the secret shadow that my uncle and I found. You can take a look first."
Quins took it, and there wasn't much information. He read it in less than two minutes. William's uncle, Conrad Dart, was not a transcendent person, but his status in the Dart family was not low. He controlled the finances and had five sons.
, the four mistresses were famous perverts in the Dart family. After being replaced by the Secret Shadow Assassin, perhaps to reduce the risk of exposure, two of the four mistresses died in accidents, one was given away by him, and only one survived.
Just for show. Conrad spent one day a week visiting his mistress.
Regarding the Secret Shadow Assassin, there was some information that Quines knew. What he didn't expect was that William could actually find out some information about the Secret Shadow Sword.
Quins said: "When will we do it?"
William: "Tomorrow, at his mistress's house."
Quins: "Okay, I'll be here again at this time tomorrow."
Seeing Quins getting up to leave, William seemed to have remembered something and reminded him: "Be careful when you come here in the future and pay attention to your safety."
"Huh?" Quins asked curiously: "What did you find?"
William shook his head: "No, I just have some ideas about hell creatures."
"Tell me about it." Quins said with interest.
William: "Based on my speculation, if that hell creature wants to integrate into Tigue without leaving a trace, the quickest way is to replace the civilians in the Gers District or the dock area."
Quins nodded after hearing this: "It makes sense. This kind of substitution is the lowest cost, and no policeman will bother to investigate a civilian who is slightly abnormal. This kind of time cost is too high and the efficiency will be very low. However,
With the unique proud character of hell creatures, it is quite difficult for him to pretend to be a civilian."
William was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "I have overlooked this characteristic of hell creatures."
"So, I think that civilian areas are the least likely to harbor hell creatures, and the most likely ones are the nobles and big businessmen." Quins' eyes flashed.
William looked at Quins and said, "But this is also the one most likely to be exposed."
Quins shrugged: "Who knows, maybe that guy is a master of deception, maybe his acting skills can completely conquer those aristocratic fools at the Maple Leaf Opera House, anything is possible."
William smiled slightly: "Yes, there are many stupid nobles."
