The experts and scholars of the Willie family seemed to know a lot about the unprecedented war a thousand years ago, especially the black-robed Lamore. He was obviously an authority on the "Millennium War." Every question he asked was professional and well-organized.
Unfortunately, the person sitting in front of them was not a real ancient guardian. Faced with the questions raised by these experts, Hao Ren could only answer a limited number of questions. He could still make guesses about the nature of the world or theological knowledge, but when it came to the historical background, he could only avoid it with the excuse of memory loss after waking up.
However, it seemed that the scholars in front of him did not care too much about his answers. They were not so much looking forward to the answers as they were more concerned about the process of asking questions. Although Hao Ren avoided at least half of the questions, Lamore still asked about other things seriously.
After a while, Willie, who had been silent, suddenly interjected, "The Cassouin Grand Temple is located at the top of the holy mountain, right? Can you describe the appearance of the temple? "
"The temple?" Hao Ren glanced at the count curiously. "Does this have anything to do with the whereabouts of the Wolfwalker?"
"It doesn't matter." Willie laughed awkwardly. "It's just my personal curiosity. Although I'm not from the Sanctum, my faith in the goddess of creation is unquestionable. Those lost holy lands have an indescribable attraction to me. You can just take it as a wish of a believer. "
This statement was reasonable and sincere. Hao Ren could not find a reason to refuse. Besides, this was something he could answer accurately. He nodded and said, "The Cassouin Mountain is actually not too high, but the temple on the mountain is indeed a magnificent building. It is composed of three parts, and the central body is a huge cylinder …"
As he spoke, the scholars across the table nodded. When his description came to an end, Lamore raised his head and said, "Lord Guardian, I heard that there are two ancient artifacts in the Cassouin Grand Temple, which were passed down from the Sanctum to the Ansu Continent. One is called the Radiant Disc, and the other is called the Heart of the Sky. Do you know these two artifacts?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Why are you asking about this?"
"Every Artifact of Order is a powerful weapon that mortals use to fight against Chaos. In the ancient times, when the Divine Light was watching over the world, countless Artifacts built an impenetrable barrier in the mortal world. At that time, the mortal civilization was powerful enough to suppress Chaos in every corner of the world. However, as the war continued, more and more Artifacts were lost, and our world of Order shrank and declined little by little. Therefore, the return of every artifact is crucial. Since an ancient guardian like you has awakened, the two ancient artifacts in the Cassouin Grand Temple may have a chance to see the light of day again. Do you know where they are? "
Hao Ren blinked and looked at Willy. "My lord, your sister should have told you about our journey in the Land of Chaos, right?"
"Of course, she's very proud of that experience. She's told me about it many times."
"Then you should know that I used a disc that emits holy light to protect the entire group of knights. That disc can shine endlessly even in the densest places of Chaos. Its Order energy is endless."
Willy's eyes widened. "Is that …"
"Oh, that's the Radiant Disc," Hao Ren said with a serious face. "I haven't gotten it back yet. It should still be in the hands of Veronica's standard-bearer. As for the other Artifact, the Heart of the Sky … I don't know where it is. When I was asleep, the situation was very chaotic. It's not easy to keep a Artifact under such circumstances. "
Willy's pupils contracted for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled and nodded at Hao Ren. "You're right. We can't be too greedy. I didn't expect an ancient Artifact to return to the Order camp … I must report this to His Majesty immediately. "
After that, he glanced at the golden clock in the corner and immediately slapped his forehead. "Look at me, talking too much. My lord guardian, please wait a moment. I'll order the servants to prepare lunch for you. You have seen the banquet prepared by His Majesty the King, but the Kant family's mountain-style food should be more to your liking. "
Count Willie rang a silver bell as he spoke. Not long after, a servant pushed the door open and came in. The count whispered a few words to the servant, who bowed and left.
The heavy silver door slammed shut after the servant left. The moment the door closed, it was as if two worlds were separated.
Count Willy stood up and came to Hao Ren with a gentle smile. "My lord guardian, I actually have a question for you."
Hao Ren looked up at the powerful nobleman. "Go ahead."
"Do you think the world should move towards Chaos or Order?" Count Willy pinched his cuff, and the black cuff with silver threads reflected a fine silver light. "If Collow has its own destiny, then is the struggle of us mortals for thousands of years good or bad for the inherent destiny of the world?"
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows. "That seems to be two questions, and both of them are a bit out of line."
"I have seen a lot of people in the sanctum, but you seem to be different from them. Have you ever thought that if the world itself is chaotic, or the truth of the world is chaotic, then we, the little creatures of Order, are equivalent to the disease of Collow? We think we are fighting for justice and axiom, but in fact, it is we who forcibly reverse the fate of the world that has brought more long-term suffering to this blessed land. The goddess of creation — she might prefer a world in chaos? "
Hao Ren's expression was extremely "surprised" and "angry" for a moment. He clenched his fist and slowly stood up in front of Willy. "That seems a bit outrageous here."
Before his voice trailed off, a scorching light suddenly lit up, and a golden-red ray like the setting sun suddenly shot from Lamore's direction. The ray exploded half a meter away from Hao Ren and instantly turned into a storm of flames and light, enveloping him completely. The next moment, Hao Ren turned into a burning human-shaped torch.
Such a powerful Scorching Ray did not ignite anything around it. The Sage-level Magister's terrifying control over magic had restricted the power of the Scorching Ray to an area the size of a person, increasing the lethality of this AOE spell by a thousand times. Lamore immediately withered after shooting the ray, as if all his energy had been drained. Willie, who was standing less than two meters away from Hao Ren, just took half a step back expressionlessly. He was not hurt at all.
"It is indeed a bit outrageous." All the smile on the count's face faded, and only a touch of melancholy remained in his eyes. "Now you can complain to the goddess."
But at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the pure elemental flames. "If I were to complain to my Goddess over such a trivial matter, she would definitely whip me back with her leg."
The expression on Count Willie's face changed dramatically in an instant. His unshakable calm finally disappeared, replaced by a wretched sideways roll. Just as he jumped away, a silver spear tore through the elemental flame formed by the scorching ray. The tip of the spear shone with a blue plasma jet, splitting the long table in half and leaving a terrifying molten cut on the ground where the count had stood.
The flames gradually dissipated, and Hao Ren appeared in front of everyone unscathed. A layer of translucent light surged on the surface of his skin. It was the aftermath of the elemental attack, not his Steel Membrane Shield. In fact, his shield had not been activated at all.
The full blow of a sage-level mage was immune to magic.
"It's a little hot." Hao Ren turned to look at the ashen-faced, shocked black-robed Lamore. "I'm serious."
The old sorcerer's eyes were wide open, and the "scholars" who were his assistants also stepped back in shock. They seemed to realize what was happening and quickly took out all kinds of wands and swords from under their robes. Only then could it be seen that many of them were wearing armor under their robes. The loose clothes were just to cover up the full armor underneath!
"This is impossible!" Willie screamed. "Even the pope of the Sanctum couldn't be unscathed under Lamore's full blow! You … You're not a guardian! Who the hell are you? "
Hao Ren smiled and smashed the spear at Willie's head. "My name is Hao Ren, and I'm a good man!"
