"So it didn't destroy a single building even though it showed up? And there weren't any casualties? "asked Mofan.
The report was out. The Skyscraping Snake did not destroy a single building when it showed up, nor did it kill a single person. As a matter of fact, a creature of its size would easily crush an ant-like human unless it purposely stood in a deserted place.
Tangyue nodded.
"The government knows about your village, and they know it's your God, so they're trying to cover up the truth?" asked Mofan.
Tangyue nodded again.
"But … don't you think it's … it's …"
"It's terrifying, and if it goes out of control, it's going to cause unimaginable destruction, right?" said Tangyue with a smile.
"Mmm, it's able to show up at the most prosperous place in the city, and vanish without a trace. I believe even if the truth is made public, the people of Hangzhou, or even the whole country, would be against it. After all, the relationship between your village and the god is unbreakable. People will only be afraid of the unknown and what they can see. It's the kind of fear that will drive them to do crazy things … "Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan was a Magician who had seen a lot of things, not to mention that he was not afraid of many things in the first place.
Even someone like him was traumatized by the incident, let alone the people who had seen the Skyscraping Snake. Many of them would have fallen sick in the hospital, right?
"We're troubled too. It was the first time in many years that something like what happened seven days ago had happened. We didn't know why it suddenly appeared there. Generally speaking, it would only appear when there was a threat in the city that made it feel extremely uneasy. I've asked you to come here because I want to know more about the incident. You were there when it happened. Did you notice anything strange about the God, like it was looking at something … "said Tangyue.
Mofan recalled the incident, but he did not find anything strange about it, as the whole incident was just too weird!
If he had to find something strange in the strange story, it was most likely that the Skyscraping Snake had stared at the building he was in. It felt like the Skyscraping Snake was staring at his floor, but it felt more like the Skyscraping Snake was staring at him.
"I felt like it was staring at me," said Mofan honestly.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure. Its eyes are so big. Maybe there was something in that building that made it uneasy. Anyway, I didn't find anything, "Mofan said.
Mofan wondered if it had something to do with his demonization.
The power of the Demon Transformation was utterly terrifying. If the Skyscraping Snake was the guardian deity, would it show up all of a sudden due to the violent demon blood in his body? However, it would leave after realizing that the demon blood was no longer a threat to him.
However, Mofan still felt that this explanation did not make sense. Even if he demonized, his strength would at most be at the level of a Commander.
The Skyscraping Snake's level was even higher than a Commander-level creature. There was no need for him to show up just for a Commander-level creature.
Perhaps there was something else in the building he was in.
Tang Yue suddenly fell into contemplation. As a matter of fact, she was not worried about the Skyscraping Snake's sudden appearance. She was more worried about the Skyscraping Snake's reason for its appearance!
"Then, is that snake really the Guardian Deity?" Mofan asked seriously.
"Mmm. It used to be protecting a village, but that was a few thousand years ago. Now, it's protecting a city, and that city is Hangzhou, "said Tang Yue.
Mofan opened his mouth wide, but he could not find any words for a long time!
Who would have thought that such a huge creature, the giant serpent that made people submit and fear, would actually be the guardian of this city? This was probably the most difficult and shocking secret to accept.
"Why haven't I heard of it before?" said Mofan.
"You should know about Totems, right?" Tang Yue walked to the other wall and pointed at the pattern on it.
"Totems … I think I've heard about them before. Apparently, a long time ago, some human tribes had their own flags, and the flags were painted with Totem Guardian Beasts … Are you saying that the snake is a Totem Guardian Beast?" Mofan immediately came to a realization.
The history books had mentioned Totem Beasts before. In ancient times, humans worshipped the Totem Beasts to secure the peace of their habitat. These Totem Beasts were not real demon beasts, nor were they Summoned Beasts. They were just a bunch of unique existences. They were not murderous toward humans, but were willing to coexist, or even protect them.
Unfortunately, the Totem Beasts had already become a legend a thousand years ago. Now that Magic was prevalent, and humans had the ability to protect themselves, it seemed like there were only Summoned Beasts, and no Totem Beasts existed anymore …
"It's an ancient Totem Beast. Our tribe has been protecting it for generations, and it is protecting the city. Considering that many Magic Organizations are afraid of the overwhelming power of the Totem Beasts, many organizations are still opposed to it. On top of that, the Totem Beasts have indeed been sealed away for a long time. The Totem Beasts can no longer see the light of day, nor are they accepted by the people. I'm afraid we are the only Totem Guardians left in the country, "said Tang Yue with a sigh.
"Totem Guardians, I didn't expect Miss Tang Yue to have such a special identity. What about your identity as an Enforcer?"
"The two don't conflict with each other. The Enforcer knows about the West Lake Totem Beasts, and the Enforcer is my uncle …"
"…" Mofan was slightly speechless. It seemed like his Miss Tang Yue was really extraordinary. Not to mention the special Totem Guardian, just her identity as the Enforcer's Niece was enough to let her do whatever she wanted in the country. Aristocratic families, associations, and the military had to be courteous to her.
"Speaking of which, why did you go to Bo City in the first place?" Mofan suddenly remembered this very important question.
Since Miss Tang Yue had a special identity in Hangzhou, it was a bit unreasonable for her to go to a small place like Bo City.
"That's because Bo City might also have a group of Totem Guardians like us hiding," said Tang Yue.
Hearing Tang Yue's words, Mofan's mind suddenly flashed.
It seemed … it seemed like Xinxia had also told him that the people of Bo City were the descendants of the Guardians of an ancient Emperor. However, they seemed to be guarding the Geyser Spring. What did the Geyser Spring have to do with the Totem Beasts?
"So Miss Tang Yue means that the disaster of Bo City was definitely not a city that the Black Vatican randomly chose to attack in order to take revenge on society?" Mofan felt like he might have found the real reason why the Black Vatican attacked Bo City.
