Holy City – Nointerna.
Every two months, a deputy commander or above would be appointed as the leader of a small scale expedition.
Even if it was only a small scale expedition, the distance would be far beyond the safe range of the Holy City, and they would touch the old king's territory. The expeditionary army was mentally prepared to encounter the old king from the beginning.
However, the purpose of the expedition was not to take back some insignificant and meaningless land deeds from the Hybrid Demons.
(Humans used the Holy City as their base, and it was difficult to ensure the safety of the area hundreds of kilometers away. It was even more impossible to station troops for a long time under the cover of the Eternal Night. As for the [Second Holy City] plan, it had not been implemented yet.)
It was also not to weaken the overall strength outside the city. Even if ten Hybrid Demons were killed.
After a period of time, due to various factors, such as deep pollution, group sacrifice, the reproduction of the old king, and so on, brand new Hybrid Demons would be born.
The real purpose was the following three points:
1. Update the map of Europe, organize the types of Hybrid Demons and their abilities, and prepare for the future great expedition.
2. Seize resources. It was proven that some resources that originated from outside the city, mainly chaos materials, could be used by humans, especially by high-ranking knights who could undergo "Hybrid Demons".
Weapons made from chaos materials might not be very effective against creatures outside the city, but they had a miraculous effect in the destiny realm, and could effectively increase the survival rate of individuals in destiny events.
In addition to chaos materials, some renewable resources outside the city could also be brought to the Holy City, and could be used after they were completely purified.
3. In some special ruins outside the city, find the "Hybrid Demon Slates" left behind by the ancestors through a special method.
The production of the slates and the information engraving technology was a field that humans had not yet touched. It required a team of specially trained archaeologists to decipher the slates.
Now it was clear that most of the slates recorded the "famous" Hybrid Demons, and even some slates had information about the "old king".
This information would expose the "weakness" of the ancients.
It would be the most important thing for humans to seize freedom in the later stages of development.
In contrast.
The risk of the "Hybrid Demon Slates", or to be precise, the risk of deciphering the slates was not much lower than killing the Hybrid Demons.
Although these slates came from the "ancestors," it turned out that these "ancestors" were not early humans, but the previous intelligent civilization.
There was a "fault" between the previous intelligent civilization and the human civilization.
The gap could be over a thousand years, or even ten thousand years.
The reason for the gap was the Old Kings, who were even older than the origin of the planet.
According to the investigation of the Secret Word Knights.
The origin of these stone slabs should be from the end of the previous civilization.
When they realized that the extinction of their civilization was inevitable and that they were already in a state of corruption, they used their last bit of strength to complete the creation of the slate.
Their purpose was to use this "eternal printing technology" to pass on the information that they had obtained by risking their entire civilization to the next civilization that would be born on earth in the future.
This was because they knew that once the civilization fell, the Ancients on Earth would fall asleep again.
Until the next civilization developed to a certain stage and touched the "civilization development boundary" set by them, or they were awakened in advance by some means.
Before that, the new civilization would live a relatively safe life. They would have enough time to decipher the slate and make preparations in advance.
However …
At the end of the civilization, the eternal night devoured the earth, and the state of extreme thinking and even physical degeneration. The slate created was also directly corroded by the Old Kings.
The words and pictures on the slate could drag ordinary people into the abyss.
The material of the slate itself also hid indescribable parasites.
For some reason, the Old Kings did not destroy the slate but deliberately let it be lost all over the world. Perhaps, during the First World War, humans accidentally discovered the slate and tried to decipher it, thus awakening the ancient existence in advance.
In the first few expeditions, the Holy City had accidentally obtained a stone slab.
Because they did not realize the potential danger of the slate at first, they only let the marching Holy Knights perform a purification ceremony.
After returning, they handed it over to a medium-sized church in the Holy City for sealing and management.
However.
In just three days, all the clergymen in the church, including a part-time priest of the Holy Knights, were all corrupted.
This priest who reached the level of a "Level Three Knight" even formed a perfect "Fallen Holy Demon" and caused the famous "Dabrador Blasphemy Incident" at that time.
From then on, the Holy City stored these strange and difficult to decipher information in the lowest level of the Holy City, and no one was allowed to come into contact with them.
Until decades passed.
A man named [Hugo Harrison] appeared.
Eternal Night Era 161
After the approval of the Supreme Council and the votes of the original Twelve Knights (7: 5), the 13th Knights — Secret Words (Question Mark and Magnifying Glass) was officially established.
All the slate stored in the lowest level was handed over to Hugo to manage and decipher.
…
"Is there anything I can help with?"
In the passage, in addition to Captain Hugo, Mr. Black And White, and Knight Charlie, who was leading the way, there was also a group of senior archaeologists. They were the older generation of the Secret Words Knights … In terms of aura, Han Dong was the weakest.
"I believe Charlie has already told you some basic information … What is currently bothering us is an extremely special 'subsidiary slate.' Although the information on it is not as important as the main slate, it will still affect the overall process of the Great Expedition.
Due to the changes in the slate, although we have a way to decipher the information on it, it will take a lot of time, and the success rate is not guaranteed.
Therefore, based on Mr. Black And White's intentions, as well as my personal thoughts … I intend to let you give it a try. "
"Okay."
"One thing to note is that this' subsidiary slate 'is already in a semi-living state, and the secret text is sealed inside the slate. This is also the reason why it is difficult to decipher.
I won't go into the specifics. With your understanding, you should be able to understand it immediately when you see the slate. "
After that, Captain Hugo personally led the way into the depths of the black zone.
In order to avoid the risk of degeneration, Mr. Black And White and the other archaeologists stayed where they were.
Every ten meters, there was a secret door, and behind each door, there was a corresponding "auxiliary stone slab".
As Captain Hugo identified himself and opened the secret door.
There was also a layer of black liquid, which was like a layer of insulation, to prevent pollution from spreading into the secret museum's passageway when the door was opened.
The two of them passed through the liquid door together.
The subsidiary slate that was displayed in front of him stunned Han Dong.
"This … this is a slate?!"
Drip, drip, drip … The deeply polluted black water kept dripping.
All kinds of strange thin stone pillars were connected to each corner of the secret room.
A humanoid life form was connected to the other end of the thin stone pillar and was suspended in the air.
Drops of liquid that could instantly corrode one's personality dripped down from its stone toes.
