White Flame did not bring many scrolls with her. With the help of the translation plug-in and the MDT, Hao Ren quickly deciphered the information recorded on them. Through the information, Hao Ren confirmed a few things:
First of all, after the destruction of the Olympian gods, some important information was lost, which even Hesperides did not know.
Second, the divine artifact carried by the fugitive attendant was 100% related to Vivian because the Zeus family did not have spells related to blood and plague, and the only Blood Clan member they had contact with was Vivian.
Finally, the information taken by the fugitive attendant was at least 80% likely to be what Hao Ren was looking for.
"The attendant is now identified as' suspected to have been killed, '" White Flame said, shaking her head gently. "The last time he appeared was in Europe, today's England and France, but that was many centuries ago. After a large-scale war between witches and demons, he disappeared in a magic explosion with twelve demon hunters. No one survived at that time, and there were no witnesses. So the civil affairs officer in charge of the records confirmed the scene and temporarily concluded that the target was dead. But in the following centuries, there were occasionally rumors of the divine scepter appearing, and there were also suspected evidence that the attendant was still alive. So, this matter is now tantamount to an unsolved case. "
Demon hunters were excellent hunters, but even experienced old hunters could lose their prey. Now it seemed that the information the demon hunters had was broken.
"We only know that he last appeared in Europe. This kind of information is too little," Vivian said, shaking her head gently. "You said that during the last encirclement, there were twelve demon hunters who 'died together' with the attendant? What is the level of the twelve demon hunters? "
"Two master demon hunters and ten elite demon hunters," White Flame said, knowing what Vivian wanted to say. "It's not the strongest lineup. Back then, twenty elite demon hunters and three master demon hunters failed to catch the target. So, I also think that the last hunt was actually a trick. The attendant is probably still alive."
Lily looked at White Flame with a smile. "A mere attendant of Zeus has troubled you for so long. This must be the dark history of your order."
At this moment, she no longer remembered her identity as the "former Emperor".
"It is indeed a dark history. The information has been sealed, and several elders were embarrassed when they mentioned it," White Flame admitted. "There are actually other similar incidents. After all, 10,000 years of history is here. There should be a few dishonorable records in such a long time."
Hao Ren and Vivian whispered a few words to each other. He then raised his head and said, "Although the trail on your side has been cut off, the otherworldlings might be able to pick it up. Most of the surviving otherworldlings will have their names in the various shelters. I can get the Shadow Council to check it out. "
"That's your problem." White Flame nodded. "I have to take these scrolls back, but you can copy the information inside. These things are no longer confidential."
Hao Ren asked the MDT to record the contents of the scrolls and then sent them directly to the headquarters of the Shadow Council in Athens, explaining the situation at the same time. Mimir and Hesperides quickly replied, saying that they would do their best to cooperate with the investigation.
After saying goodbye to White Flame, Hao Ren began to wait for the progress of the investigation from the Shadow Council. In fact, he did not have much hope for the Shadow Council at first. After all, for an organization that was established in a hurry, it was difficult to spare manpower to deal with such an errand. In the past, the various otherworldling shelters on Earth were isolated from each other, and the exchange of intelligence was almost zero. Under such conditions, finding the whereabouts of a fugitive was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Hao Ren felt that he would have to wait for a long time before he could find anything.
During this time, he could even try to teach the little Malevolence to open the refrigerator to find food.
Surprisingly, the next day, Hesperides sent a reply, saying that she had found a clue.
"In northern France, there used to be an isolated village in a forest. It was a forgotten place, but the 'prey' that the demon hunters had lost used to live in seclusion there," Vivian said.
Hao Ren and Vivian decided to go immediately to check the situation. Hesperides said that she would go as well. In this matter related to the Olympus family, she felt that she had the obligation to provide necessary help.
Of course, Lily, the husky who had been joining in the fun for thousands of years, had to tag along.
But there was a new "member," Hao Ren did not know if he should bring her along.
The little Malevolence shouted and ran around the living room, venting her excess energy and desire for destruction. Occasionally, she was kicked away, but she was not annoyed. When she got up, she would be even more energetic. Hao Ren looked at this scene and felt a little awkward. "Do we really have to bring this unknown creature along?"
"Didn't the goddess say to let her stay with me?" Vivian did not look happy either. She also saw her little avatar as a huge trouble, but she still decided to bring the little troublemaker along. "Leaving her at home will only add to the mess. And if she sneaks out and causes trouble, it will be even more troublesome. To be honest, it is better to keep such an unstable factor within my sight. "
Hao Ren could only sigh. "Sigh, then let's bring her along. Can any of you help me get her cage? "
On the other side, the little Malevolence had no idea what was going on. In fact, her muddled brain could not think at all. She ran up to Lil Pea, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. "Ghsss —"
And then she was slapped away again.
A day later, according to the address provided by Hesperides, Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lily came to a dense forest on the border of France.
This trip did not take the conventional route. Using the teleportation function of the MDT to quickly reach the destination had become Hao Ren's habit. Lily and Vivian, on the other hand, had long been immune to the dizziness of teleportation. They no longer vomited like before.
But there was a little one in the team who used teleportation for the first time. She did not fare so well.
The little Malevolence lay half-dead on a large rock by the roadside, trembling and making all kinds of strange sounds. Apparently, the simple and violent teleportation had put a lot of pressure on her.
"I didn't expect the Malevolence to be afraid of this." Lily squatted beside the rock and curiously poked the little Malevolence's head with her claws. "Wow, she doesn't even have the energy to hiss at me!"
The little Malevolence shivered and curled up into a ball, avoiding Lily's fingers in fear. She was not as energetic as she usually was.
"She has the emotion of 'fear.' She will calm down when the environment changes dramatically." Hao Ren glanced at Lily and then looked around. "If I'm not mistaken, Hesperides should be waiting nearby."
It was midsummer, and the vegetation in the northern hemisphere was flourishing. Hao Ren and the other two were in a small clearing deep in the forest. Looking around, they saw lush shrubs, vines, and towering ancient trees that almost covered the sky. The unique, humid, and muddy air of the forest kept blowing from the forest, making them a little irritated. After poking the little Malevolence, Lily stood up and stretched herself. The dense forest made her artistic cells burst out. "It's hard to know the way ahead in the forest, and the sound of the leaves can't tell the accent. Oh, Battie, why don't you make some cold air? This place is stuffy and hot."
Vivian summoned a large storm of ice to give Lily a sense of home. She then tiptoed and looked into the depths of the forest. "Hesperides may not be here yet. After all, we are a little early. I can feel some faint magic power. There is something in the depths of the forest."
As soon as Vivian's voice trailed off, they heard a familiar voice coming from not far away. "I'm here."
Hao Ren looked up and saw Hesperides, who was dressed in casual clothes, walking out of the forest.
After greeting each other, Hao Ren asked curiously, "How do you know this place?"
"It's a coincidence. The servant of Zeus mentioned in the demon hunter's records is one of the old guys I knew back then." Hesperides smiled. "But I didn't expect that guy to have such a 'great achievement.'"
"That's a great achievement." Vivian raised her eyebrows. "I'm afraid he took away the most powerful weapon on Mount Olympus. The demon hunters lost almost as many men as they lost to Horus."
"I don't know about this." Hesperides shrugged. "After the collapse of Mount Olympus, the survivors went into hiding. Communication between us was intermittent. People were often found and killed by the demon hunters. Sometimes, people were missing for centuries. Under such circumstances, it's not easy for me to know how many people are still alive."
"Let's go to the place you mentioned first." Hao Ren looked up into the depths of the forest. "We can talk about the details on the way."
