Hao Ren had asked the demon hunters to investigate the remaining information of the ancient Greek Olympian gods after the fall of the Olympian gods.
According to the information he had, some of the upper members of the Olympian family seemed to have learned the secrets of the deicidal sin and the Ultimate Absolution before their destruction and conducted a series of research on idolatry of Vivian. These studies were likely to uncover more secrets about the ultimate plan of the goddess of creation, or at least, it would allow Hao Ren to understand the activities of the otherworldlings in ancient times.
The Olympian gods had disappeared in the long river of history, and the remnants of their relics were floating in the space slit at the edge of the main material world. Finding them was like looking for a needle in a haystack. However, there was a place that still preserved the secrets of the ancient times, and that was the demon hunter library in Coldpath. The vast dossiers recorded the information of every otherworldling race that the demon hunters had destroyed, including the ancient Greek gods. This was what Hao Ren had asked White Flame for.
"I'll go to Coldpath immediately," Hao Ren replied immediately. "Get all the information ready."
"No, I'm in the city where you live now. Just come to XXXX and find me," White Flame said.
Hao Ren was stunned when he heard the address that sounded familiar. "Cultural center? Why are you here? "
Hao Ren asked. "There's an anime convention here." White Flame said in her usual cold and calm voice.
Hao Ren was speechless.
With a great desire to complain, Hao Ren took Vivian and Lily to the cultural center that White Flame had mentioned. Sure enough, a grand comic exhibition was being held there. Hao Ren did not have much experience in anime conventions, but he had seen them a few times. Anyway, after buying a ticket, he felt like there was a group of demons dancing in the air. Men and women dressed as various game and anime characters and various stalls scattered around the exhibition hall made the large indoor venue extremely chaotic. There were also some high-quality cosplayers, which made Hao Ren feel like he had returned to his workplace.
That's right, he had seen all kinds of strange races, and they were all real!
It took Hao Ren a lot of effort to find White Flame. In fact, he did not find her; it was Lily who smelled her. White Flame was like a fish in water in this place. She could even wear her usual combat uniform and walk around the venue with a head of silver hair. Anyway, there were many people here who dressed more strangely than her. When Hao Ren found White Flame, she was wandering in front of a few stalls with a huge bag full of all kinds of gadgets she had just bought, including her demon hunter dagger.
Hao Ren could not believe how Hasse had taught such a magical disciple. Closed education had its drawbacks. It was easy to produce autistic and otaku.
"Since you guys didn't show up, I've been looking around for a while," White Flame said. White Flame White Flame White Flame White Flame said. "I've been looking around for a while," White Flame said.
Hao Ren's face was wooden. "Is it okay for you to stroll around the comic convention? What about your job as a demon hunter? "
But White Flame was not embarrassed at all. She smiled indifferently and said, "I'm not just strolling around. I have a job here. Look at that — "
The demon hunter maiden pointed to a corner of the venue. Hao Ren looked in the direction where she was pointing and saw a few men and women in cosplay costumes chatting. One of the men keenly noticed the onlookers and immediately looked over. When he saw White Flame, his expression was slightly unnatural.
"The two werewolves are real. The one in the witch suit next to them is a witch who used to be Dracula's mistress. The other one is wearing a knight's armor, but it's empty inside. It's the armor of a famous knight. God knows which crazy wizard gave this armor a spirit or simply possessed it." White Flame smacked her lips. "Look around, and you will see a lot of 'real' ones."
Hao Ren looked around in amazement and finally found some clues.
Many people were secretly looking at them. Almost all the 'high-quality cosplayers' came in pairs, and some of the exhibitors who looked like ordinary people were not so ordinary: they were cautiously keeping a distance from White Flame.
Lily sniffed. In fact, she had smelled some 'close relatives' in the air just now, but she did not say it out loud.
"How many real ones are here?" Hao Ren asked in a low voice.
"At least one-third are real, and one-third are their servants and dependents," White Flame shrugged. "The rest are ordinary people. I'm not here just for fun. Part of the purpose is to monitor the event. "
"This is a gathering of the otherworldlings," Hao Ren scratched his chin. "Is this also a new change after the truce between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings, and the establishment of the Shadow Council? Is it a gathering of the supernatural creatures? "
White Flame nodded. "Well, you're right. Without disrupting the existing order, expanding the range of activities of the supernatural races is also a test of the feasibility of interracial communication. Those who come here are the weaker races in the past, and there is no serious feud between them. But someone still needs to monitor, in case a fight breaks out, it will be very troublesome. "
Hao Ren suddenly looked surprised. "You're here to monitor the event? The demon hunters are here to monitor the gathering of the otherworldlings? "
"How is that possible? In fact, I'm also being monitored," White Flame immediately waved her hand. "The elders sent me here to observe the gathering, but at the same time, we have to reach an agreement with the Shadow Council. I'm monitored here by the Shadow Council. Ah, in fact, the situation is not bad. I have a good relationship with you guys, and you guys have a lot of influence in the Shadow Council, so no one comes looking for trouble. "
From White Flame's words, Hao Ren knew that the lives of the otherworldlings had changed even more in the dark.
Some new order was emerging, and the relationship between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings was gradually evolving in a subtle and tense confrontation. The gathering here looked ridiculous, but it probably had a deeper meaning. Hao Ren was a hundred percent sure that these people he saw in the venue were only the superficial members of the gathering. After all, there were real ordinary people here, and more important activities were probably hidden outside the venue.
Probably a story of two to three hundred thousand words could be written about the gathering, but Hao Ren did not care too much about it. He would leave the affairs of the Shadow Council to Hessiana and Ymir. He was here for the secret of Olympus.
Under White Flame's lead, they came to the rest area behind the exhibition hall. They followed a specific route, passed through the area with ordinary people, and arrived at the deepest part of the venue.
There were a few cosplayers standing outside the lounge, and a girl with wolf ears was fanning herself with her tail. "Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
"That's right, that's right." Another "young man" wearing a wizard hat nodded. "I thought I could play for the whole day, but I can only stay here. If I knew this would happen, I would have stayed in the family's secret realm."
"Hey, wizard, where's the girl who was with you? Isn't she your girlfriend? Why did she leave you alone? "
"No, that's my great-great-great-grandmother. She went fishing."
"Oh … Shh, the Hound is here!"
The werewolves and wizards noticed Hao Ren and his team approaching. They immediately fell silent and showed a mixture of alertness and rejection. Apparently, White Flame was the one who was given special attention here. Everyone recognized her face.
The demon hunter girl did not mind the situation, but she was not interested in smiling at the otherworldlings either. She walked past the young people who were pointing at her and led Hao Ren and the other two into a special lounge.
"That's it. To be honest, I'm quite satisfied," White Flame said as she threw the big bag in her hand on the table. She rummaged through it for a long time and found a few old scrolls. "This is the useful information."
How dare she put such an important thing in there!
Hao Ren took the scrolls and began to study them carefully. White Flame interpreted and added some information.
The scrolls themselves were not the products of the Olympian gods, but investigation reports and notes compiled by the demon hunters after the war. These scrolls detailed a series of "hunting" operations of the demon hunters after the fall of the Olympian gods, which was to say, the process of hunting down the survivors who were lucky enough to escape.
Most of the survivors who escaped from Mount Olympus died under the pursuit of the demon hunters. Some even hid for centuries, but in the end, they still could not escape death. It was rare to find someone like Hesperides who survived to this day.
"Here, a squire has evaded dozens of hunting attempts, including a big operation carried out by 20 elite demon hunters and three master demon hunters," White Flame said, pointing to a few lines of text on one of the scrolls. "This squire is just a servant on Mount Olympus. The only special thing about him is that he is trusted by Zeus. But in the process of hunting him down, dozens of demon hunters have sacrificed their lives — all of them are powerful warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles."
"Obviously, he carried a powerful divine artifact," Vivian said in a low voice.
"Yes, there is indeed a divine artifact. This is the record of the divine artifact," White Flame said, pointing to the bottom of the scroll. "The hunting target has a very dangerous weapon, a dark scepter inlaid with a huge blood-colored gem. The scepter can boil the blood of the target to death from a hundred meters away, or cause fatal bleeding and disease. Master demon hunters can only resist this power a little. I think this is very close to the Countess' ability."
Hao Ren frowned and looked at Vivian. "They not only studied how to offset the sin by worshipping you, but also your power?"
Vivian also frowned. "What else?"
"Here," White Flame took out another scroll and said, "'The target was seen carrying a large number of files and documents. Judging from the small number of fragments seized, this should be a batch of information that was missing during the inventory of the Olympian documents. This batch of information came from Athena, or it is related to a series of strange rituals at the end of the Olympian period.' And here, 'The target was looking for the Countess of the Crimson Moon during the escape, suspecting that she was trying to seek refuge with the Countess and should complete the hunt before the Countess provides shelter.'
Hao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly. "This should be it."
