"The Goddess of Hope passed away very early."
Peacock sighed with regret, "According to legend, during the golden age, she fell asleep one day and never woke up again. People say her heart was shattered when she parted with the Phecda Hero at the island of the giant house. But the hope she left for the world will never be shattered, the fire she left for us will never be extinguished. "
"Indeed." Malachite nodded seriously, "As long as the fire is not extinguished, the hope will live forever."
Gu Jun asked darkly for the details of this legend but that was all Peacock could tell him. The rest was lost in the river of time.
He started to wonder, 'Why did she not wake up? What kind of legend is behind this?
Does the broken heart refer to a heart attack? But Dirty-minded Yu did not have any heart problems … Depression? Based on his understanding of her, Dirty-minded Yu was not the kind of person who would succumb to sadness, she had her own tenacity … Dream infiltration?
His body shivered. Dream infiltration, it was a dream infiltration.
"Dirty-minded Jun? I already said you're dead, I'm reading your will. If you're still alive, why don't you come out? "
He was reminded of what Wu Shiyu said when his consciousness was still clouded. If that was her voice, then this woman … appeared to have a different view of his life and death.
If she wanted to return to the Dreamlands to look for him, she would be able to enter the Dreamlands with her mind even though she could not physically enter the Dreamlands. Phecda must have mastered the method of mental infiltration, or else Tong Ye and the rest would not have been able to arrive at that time.
With Dirty-minded Yu's talent in mental infiltration, even if she failed the first time, she might succeed the third time.
However, if something happened to her mental self and she was unable to return, she would 'never wake up again'.
The more Gu Jun thought about it, the more worried he became. He really did not want her to be in danger. Furthermore, he was the one who placed this burden on her by Shi Yu. She could no longer be a carefree, idle fish … Based on this legend, she could die at any moment.
What golden age, the age of change, how long was it exactly?
But when he asked, Peacock shook her head and said she did not know. There were many stories passed down in the tribe, ranging from a few years to decades.
Gu Jun could not get more details about the legend of the old world, so he suppressed his curiosity and had Peacock continue to tell the story of the ten thousand kindling entering Leng Wasteland …
The more recent these stories were, the more believable Peacock's narration became, but at the same time, the more unfamiliar they became to Gu Jun. In fact, he had a hard time remembering the names of the foreign lands. But he kept listening carefully, looking for possible clues. However, in the end, it was still a dense fog.
"Mr. Nightmare Man, that's about it." Peacock said, her voice was getting hoarse.
"What's your position in the tribe?" Gu Jun asked. "Do you know those secrets?" She might not be lying. Maybe she was being lied to.
Peacock was startled. She understood the man's suspicion and pride appeared on her face, "Malachite and I are the Phecda Warriors of our tribe, we know more than enough. But in our tribe, the most knowledgeable tribesmen have always been the 'professors'. "
"Oh?" Gu Jun narrowed his eyes. Looks like the professors had become the priests.
He did not think the young ones like Peacock would know the whole inside story, some secrets and truths could only be passed down by the higher-ups.
The reason was that if the rest of the tribe knew about it, it would not be beneficial, instead it would shatter their faith and cause separation.
Perhaps any of the professors would know that Gu Jun had not told them those famous sayings but like Peacock said, those were the source of their spirit, it was no longer important whether he had told them or not.
If there was a chance, Gu Jun might be able to find out more from these professors.
"Esteemed sirs, our tribe is in grave danger!" Peacock looked at the nightmare man and then at Atal. She said with utmost sincerity, "We need the Pnakotic Manuscripts. Without a breakthrough, we will not be able to stop the invasion of the Ossarians. "
"Sigh." Atal's aged face was as calm as ever. "Since you wish to discuss the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan with me, I have something to share with you. The Pnakotic Manuscripts is just a rumor, there is no need for you to waste your time on me. "
"Great Elder." Peacock knelt to the ground with a pained expression. "This time is different, the people are waiting for our life-saving medicine!"
Malachite also knelt down. His face was pinched with grievance. "Great Elder, it has been 30 years, why won't you lend us a helping hand?"
30 years ago, they were not even born yet. If the tribe could have grown stronger then, their childhood would not have been so dark and their youth would not have been so difficult. They did not wish for their brothers and sisters to have to repeat those days …
Furthermore, even if they had to suffer, they had to survive.
Now for their kin to survive, they had to be like the Phecda Hero and the Goddess of Hope, they had to bring back the medicine and books to light the fire.
"Don't be like this." Atal sighed as he turned his eyes away from them. "When I was studying under Barcé the Wise, I have heard of the Pnakotic Manuscripts. According to legend, it is buried deep inside a library in the city ruins under the Land of Bitter Frost, Roma. You've heard it, haven't you? This is a legend, it is similar to those stories about a sunken city in the sea and a treasure hidden inside the sunken city. "
"Even if it does exist, it is not here." Atal waved his hands. "As I said, you are free to search this temple and tower."
Gu Jun looked at the two who were kneeling on the ground. He could vaguely sense their complicated emotions …
He could almost see himself when he set off for Wrangel Island.
"Peacock, please get up and leave us." He said, "I have something to say to Mr. Atal, you can leave us alone."
"Okay …" Peacock could not see through the white mask but she knew it was best not to disobey him. Furthermore, he appeared to be offering them help … Was that an illusion?
She did not dare to place too much hope but she pulled Malachite to leave. "Mr. Nightmare Man, we are of the same tribe, that will never change."
After the two left, Gu Jun turned to the old man on the ivory podium and said directly, "Sage Barcé told me to come here to show me the Pnakotic Manuscripts, he said he has already taught you the book. It is indeed not inside the tower but it is inside your mind. "
"Ah." Atal's face paled slightly. He shifted his rotund body to change his sitting position. "But …"
"Mr. Atal, you need not say anything else." Gu Jun added, "I want to see the Pnakotic Manuscripts."
