Dark Fairy Tale: Will their desires be fulfilled?

The servant who delivered the message only saw that the young master's face was flushed, as if he was feeling unwell? But he didn't think too much about it, as his only task was to bring the young master to the master.

So he led the way.

When the maids in charge of gardening were leaving, they saw that the young master, who usually did not do his job, had his legs turned inwards and his hands covering his lower abdomen. He looked embarrassed and painful, like a person with hemorrhoids who had been squatting in the toilet for too long and walked out.

Even though it was unknown what had caused such humiliation, the young master exuded an aura of satisfaction, and it was obvious that he had spent a wonderful morning of pain and pleasure.

"Oh, I really want to personally teach Young Master Allen step by step until he grows up..." they said with all their heart.

In a short moment, the servant led Allen around the familiar large library and arrived at the small chapel where Sister Eve worked and was generously funded by the family.

He had known about this place before. The statue of the Cang Yue Goddess was enshrined there, and the entire family believed in the Cang Yue Goddess.

If I had not been exposed to mysterious knowledge and had not witnessed the battles between extraordinary people in the imperial capital, I would surely have thought that the religions in this world were the same as those in my previous life, written out of thin air.

However, the mystery was quietly overturning his cognition.

At the steps ahead, Duke Howard, dressed in luxurious robes, had been waiting for a long time.

The moment they met, the servant who led the way tactfully left, leaving only the father and son.

Duke Howard always had a stern face, which was indescribably solemn. Allen was not used to this heavy atmosphere. He was still used to getting along with his father who was fond of flirting with other women and talking nonsense.

Before he could even laugh to liven up the atmosphere, Duke Howard spoke first: "Follow me."

The tone of voice brooked no argument, and it even carried a hint of unfamiliarity.

Allen felt a chill run down his spine, wondering if this bastard father was really the descendant of an evil god, and wanted to use his own son as a sacrifice?

After all, there are many such plots in the Cthulhu novels of previous lives.

He was very nervous along the way, and by the time he reached the secret door in the sacristy of the chapel, the cold and empty atmosphere around him had made him shiver.

Just as he mustered up the courage to ask about the purpose of this trip, Duke Howard suddenly turned around, startling him, and then said solemnly: "Remember, everything you witness and experience from now on will be a secret. You must keep this secret forever. Don't be careless like you usually are. If you easily reveal this secret, you may be in danger of your life."

The further he talked, the colder Duke Howard's expression became, with an expression of disregard that looked down upon everything.

For some reason, Allen felt that the person standing in front of him was a stinky sister.

"What is the secret?" Allen blinked. Even though his voice was very soft, it still echoed in this lonely little church.

woo woo woo woo--

The air currents surged wildly, and his voice echoed everywhere on all four walls.

His heart was beating so hard that he could almost feel it jumping into his throat, so he quickly covered his mouth.

Looking at his uneasy son in front of him, Duke Howard suddenly felt that time had passed in a flash. Once upon a time, when he was Allen's age and his father first introduced him to the family secrets, he probably had the same expression.

Now it is my turn to serve as the guide for the family's successor, and I feel indescribable bitterness and boredom in my heart.

"In front of us is the holy place where the ancestor of our family was buried in the past, the holy place of a great man who once stood at the top of the world."

The ancestor of the family? Allen had never heard of any related deeds. Whether it was the family tree or what he heard from his mother, the deeds of the ancestors of the family were countless, but they were all recorded after the ancestor.

In other words, the ancestor mentioned by the bastard father, or even his name, has never been recorded in later historical books.

Regarding this doubt, he once sought help from his tutor, his mother, or even his well-read sister. As if it was a taboo topic, they either kept silent or glossed over it.

After that, Allen simply forgot about the incident.

Now, as his father brought up the old story, he had a vague feeling that the mystery and supernatural powers that the family tried so hard to hide might be related to this legendary ancestor.

Thinking of this, Allen's curiosity was completely aroused, and a solemn expression appeared on his young face.

Duke Howard smiled knowingly when he saw Allen's reaction.

He walked to a religious mural depicting the Book of Revelation, then quickly formed a seal with his hands, and then recited a difficult and obscure prayer that instantly echoed in the empty dark passage.

A light that was infinitely close to black quietly emanated from his body. The earth trembled unwillingly, and then the originally magnificent mythological mural immediately turned pitch black.

Allen was completely frozen. The mysterious power he witnessed before his eyes made it impossible for him to connect it with that bastard father who only knew how to kiss women's stockings.

It turns out that this Duke of the North, who is rumored to have a penchant for carrying around big swords and fathering dozens of illegitimate children, is actually a master who is hiding from the world!

Allen stood up in awe, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

The next moment, he saw his father disappearing alone into the dark wall.

Chapter 39: The Rumored Girlfriend of the First Ancestor

Without having time to be shocked by what he saw, Allen hurriedly followed his father's steps and walked into the dark wall.

It seemed like an ingeniously designed wall of air, and Allen easily reached the mysterious area hidden by the chapel.

The wall candles on both sides suddenly lit up, dispelling the darkness and casting his and his father's shadows alternately onto the new walls.

The deeper you go, the more monster statues that only exist in ancient mythology begin to appear before your eyes. Their hideous and evil faces are simply terrifying!

Duke Howard's next words contained a certain calming power, "This is the holy land of our family! It was built with a trace of divinity from our ancestor. The holy land is outside the world, yet it is inseparable from it, just like the shadows of people. Those who are not of our family will only be ruthlessly devoured, but you are different. Try taking a deep breath."

Divinity? Wow, I didn't expect my ancestor to be so awesome! Allen couldn't help but yearn for it. He took a deep breath according to his father's words. In an instant, the previous mental tremors, tinnitus and dizziness not only dissipated, but also a trace of coolness began to linger in his heart, making him feel inexplicably calm.

Then the two continued to move forward.

The narrow corridor is like a maze, with corners formed by walls everywhere. If there is no one leading the way, unauthorized intruders are likely to get lost and trapped in the maze illusion forever.

After walking for a while, Allen said goodbye to the criss-crossing roads and followed his father to the majestic stone gate.

The entire stone gate is more than ten meters high. Its surface has been corroded by the years, revealing an ancient sense of vicissitudes.

The most eye-catching thing is the lifelike portrait of a girl engraved on the stone gate.

The girl was so beautiful that she looked like an elf or an angel that had accidentally fallen into the mortal world. Even her mother and her stinky sister were inferior to her.

The girl in the painting holds a raven staff, showing an ambiguous sweet smile, and a pair of cold eyes, which makes her look like she has ulterior motives. A large part of her snow-white neck is exposed, making her look noble and elegant. Allen, who should have been exclaiming in admiration, took two steps back unconsciously at this moment - once he withdrew his eyes from the beautiful details and looked at the girl as a whole, he would strongly feel that the portrait was about to lean forward, and the staff in its hand would naturally fall on his head, hitting him so hard that he would see stars!

Allen felt very awkward, and like all men, he shifted his focus downwards - the low-cut dress suit was indeed pleasing to the eye. He soon discovered that a small black mole was outlined on the chest muscle. This discovery made his face flush - a detail made the whole portrait vivid, making people feel guilty for peeping. He shook his head and saw the signature under the stone door portrait:

Portrait of XXXXXX, carved in 1321 of the Second Age.

The part of the girl's name seemed to have been erased, but the year marked still surprised Allen. The Second Era? According to the history records in the Great Library, wasn't that the Witch Era? Was his ancestor a person who lived in the Second Era? Was the girl in the painting a witch?

A series of questions aroused great interest in his heart. He had originally imagined that his family was more mysterious, so he turned to ask Duke Howard, "Father, do you know who this girl carved on the stone gate is?"

However, Duke Howard just sighed softly, smiled bitterly and said, "Just think of her as the rumored girlfriend of the ancestor of the family."

"Is she a witch?" Allen asked.

Duke Howard shook his head repeatedly, "She is not a witch, but she is better than a witch. She is the curse of the ancestor's life..."

When Allen wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, Duke Howard was unwilling to mention the subject anymore. He walked forward and pushed open the stone door with all his strength.

Watching the doors on both sides being slowly pushed open and the portrait of the girl on the stone door being split into two, Allen's heart was moved.

How happy it would be to have such a rumored girlfriend!

If only I could have her. I would make her wear white silk!

Allen thought with envy.

After walking in, the stone door behind closed automatically. The room was not very dark. There were several exquisitely shaped candlesticks hanging high up, and a pale yellow halo filled the entire space.

The room didn't have many elaborate decorations, but rather looked very plain. Although it looked like a bedroom, the bookshelf in the center was a little too huge.

There was no sight of the top. Even someone as tall as my father looked as small as an ant standing in front of the bookshelf.

The giant bookshelf placed in a room shaped like a bedroom looks very out of place.

Allen walked forward and wanted to see what books were on the bookshelf, perhaps he could find some books that recorded the Second Age in detail.

However, when he focused his attention on the ancient book, a sharp pain suddenly spread from his forehead, and then the densely packed mysterious words on the ancient book immediately transformed into ugly and evil tentacles.

The tentacles easily occupied the entire room, and as they continued to wriggle, there was also some unusually sharp chirping sound lingering in the ears.

Squeaky--

It was as if countless bugs were crawling in his head. He frowned and began to hit his head with his fists.

At the critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears.

He turned his head and saw that it was his father who was chanting a spell quickly.

The next moment, the strange noise that shrouded his head disappeared. Not only that, when he looked up at the giant bookshelf again, the dense tentacles that had emerged from the ancient books before also disappeared.

All that appeared in sight were rows of books decorated with gold. The chaotic and distorted scene just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Allen shook his head and asked his bastard father for confirmation.

Duke Howard crossed his arms and said with a smile, "The strange scene you just experienced was not an illusion, but a real one. This is one of the important reasons why I brought you here. That's right! What you are about to experience is the mystery hidden deep in this world, and it is also the distorted forbidden knowledge."

Here it comes, the mystery of this world!

Allen was very excited. As long as he could master the extraordinary power, he wouldn't have to be afraid of his stinky sister anymore! Maybe he could learn the real hypnosis and then...

Allen couldn't help but smirk, and at the same time, Duke Howard's narration of the world's mysterious knowledge began to reach his ears.

As expected, this world is ruled by gods.

There are seven gods in total, corresponding to the seven ancient orthodox churches on the ground. Each church receives a complete promotion ceremony to the extraordinary sequence from the god of their faith.

The revelations that gods bestow upon believers are accomplished through dreams, which requires believers to possess extremely strong spiritual strength, otherwise they may easily go crazy.

And this dream is what the extraordinary people often call a strange dream. The seven gods are also the other side of the dream, the great rulers located in the great rift.

The Thirteen Kings in the strange dream are the gods who are responsible for guarding the entrance to the Great Rift.

Countless extraordinary people who have entered strange dreams dream of entering the Great Rift one day, thereby meeting the true gods, gaining the coveted powers, and dominating the world.

However, during the narration, the bastard father seemed to be full of hostility towards these seven gods, which made him very puzzled. Wasn’t the Cang Yue Goddess, one of the righteous gods, also enshrined in the mansion?

To be honest, both he and his bastard father are believers of the Cang Yue Goddess.

Unable to suppress his doubts, Allen carefully considered his words and whispered, "Father, do these gods have anything else to say? You seemed very unhappy with them just now."

Even the queen's crown was awarded by the Pope of the Orthodox Church himself, and her family was just a duke in the mortal world. Such a disdainful attitude would always be regarded as heresy by the church.

Although his bastard father has always been a heretic, Allen doesn't believe that he would be so resistant to the church, or even have some kind of hatred for it.

A nameless fire suddenly filled his chest, and Duke Howard said indignantly: "Those seven traitors hiding in the Great Rift are worthy of calling themselves gods?"

Oh no, things are not simple!

Allen quickly followed up the topic: "Traitor? Are you saying that the seven great gods today are traitors? Why do you say that?"

"They betrayed our ancestors..."

Chapter 40 Family History

"In the ancient times when witches were rampant in the Second Era, humans could only become their tenants, either doing hard labor or reproducing."

"Men have the lowest status among them. Witches even perform outrageous and perverted acts on men to satisfy their twisted psychology."

"During those thousands of years of slavery, our ancestor was the only one who could contend with the Witch Emperors. He led the strongest among humans and resolutely launched a war against the Witch Emperor's tyrannical rule, which was known in history as the Sin Fire War."

"But when the Witch Emperor fell from the throne and the Witch rule came to an end, the seven companions who had followed the First Ancestor to fight, three of whom were even his disciples, secretly planned the Night of Slaughter, assassinated the First Ancestor with extremely despicable means, and divided and ate his king's soul. They became the seven great rulers of the Third Era, and are now revered as the Seven Great Gods by the ignorant followers."

"However, the power of the First Ancestor was once on par with that of the Witch Emperor. The seven traitors feared the day when the First Ancestor would return, so they ordered their followers to erase everything about the First Ancestor from the history books, not even leaving his name behind."

At this point, Duke Howard was completely dominated by anger, with a violent aura emanating from his entire body. Allen was so frightened by this aura that he could only stand frozen in place.

Duke Howard suppressed his anger and said thoughtfully, "In these long years, as descendants of the first ancestor, we have been forced to submit to others in order to avoid being killed by the seven major churches. We came to this bitter cold land in the north and became turtles."

"Our bloodline was once supreme, looking down on the world, but now we can only be humble and become a small duke, just like a dog wagging its tail for mercy."

Allen took a deep breath, he thought that his status as the Duke's legitimate son in this life would allow him to leisurely indulge in sensual pleasures and pick up girls everywhere, but it turned out that his family was the mortal enemy of the seven major churches.

Moreover, this hatred lasted for an entire era, which is more than 20,000 years. It can be said that it will never end until one dies!

With my small body and without the talents like my little sister, won’t I be dead if I run into anyone from the church?

You bastard dad, you are pushing your son into the fire!

Duke Howard saw Allen's uneasy expression at the moment, so he comforted him, "We are the descendants of the first ancestor. Although we are still some distance away from complete revival, it will not be easy for those traitors to find us!"

Facing Allen's confused gaze, Duke Howard said proudly, "Those traitors never imagined that we, the descendants of the first ancestor, not only did not hide from the world, but took the initiative to join the seven major churches. For this reason, the family spent a lot of money in the election of the Pope. Now these churches only regard us as the final sponsor! What's more, the current Pope still owes our family a lot of money!"

Allen was deeply impressed by the family's past strategies. Even the enemy didn't know that the biggest enemy would be lurking beside him. Besides, he couldn't start to suspect it. His shameless father moved the statue of the Cang Yue Goddess to the mansion and worshiped it devoutly.

The outside world will only regard the family as devout believers.

But even so, Allen still had a trace of worry. Witches, gods, mysterious dreams... Can these mysterious existences really be dealt with so easily?

Is it true that the seven major churches have no other means to find out the whereabouts of the descendants of the first ancestor?
