You don't cast spells by the rules at all, do you?

Sean once compared entering a dream to "soul searching", but in fact, the statue is the real soul searching. Its keywords are all set by Blake himself. As long as Blake wants, no secret can escape his eyes.

Therefore, they only need to remind Lord Black that this era is full of hostility towards wizards. If those witch hunters want to sneak into other places, they may succeed, but if they want to sneak into the Hall of Truth, they will die one by one.

Adev's tone was full of meaning, which, from another perspective, was equivalent to confidence.

Don't ask, if you ask, it was given by Lord Black.

Times are changing.

From now on, it is unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey.

The wizard who had spoken out of turn earlier also read this confidence in Adev's words and became nervous for a moment.

It seems that Blake is really going to be resurrected.

"—? No, I can't stay here any longer.

This matter is of great importance, and we must report it to the adults immediately!

Chapter 76: The Lost Era of Scholars (Thanks to [xmukmb], the Silver Alliance!)

"What?"

"Blake is resurrected?"

At Grey Bird Logistics Company, the leader Sabek, who was sitting in his office, received a call from his subordinates.

He was holding a big cigar in his mouth, puffing out smoke, and thought he had misheard, so he asked, "Which Blake?"

The answer from the other end of the line was immediate: "Carl Black."

Sabek: “?”

"The one who was invincible hundreds of years ago?"

"Yes!" The subordinate's voice was a little anxious. "Mr. Sabeck, you heard it right. I just saw with my own eyes that Blake's statue appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air in the conference room on the second floor of the Void Space Temple. You know, only Blake himself can move Blake's statue."

"The president of the Dawn Council, Adefu, is here too. He seems to have known the news a long time ago." He should be right, Mr. Sabeck. The subordinate said solemnly, "Carl Black may have really been resurrected."

How can he be resurrected after being dead for hundreds of years?

"Hiss----cough cough!" Sabek took a deep breath of cold air, but forgot that he still had a cigar in his mouth. This one breath turned him into a chimney. He could not help coughing violently, with smoke coming out of his nose and mouth.

"Mr. Sabeck, are you okay?" The subordinate heard the cough and asked with concern.

"It's okay - let me ask you, did you see Blake himself, or just the statue?" Sabeck asked.

"The statue," the man said. "The man himself did not appear."

Sabek asked again: "Did he tell you to do anything?"

"No." The subordinate paused and said, "From what Adev said, Blake seems to have just woken up not long ago." "Then there is still hope." Sabek breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and ordered, "From now on,

Don't step into the temple again. Get everyone inside out. All missions are terminated immediately. Stay as far away from the statue as possible, including the one outside the temple. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The subordinate hesitated for a moment and asked, "But it is said that Blake seems to want to open up the upper echelons of the temple."

It contains valuable spells and high-level alchemical formulas passed down from the era of scholars. Any one of them can be sold for a high price.

Sabeck sneered: "I think you are going backwards as you get older. Which is more important, money or life? Do you need me to tell you?"

Subordinate: “But——”

"No buts!" Sabeck said coldly, "Am I usually too nice to you? Now you even dare to question my orders? You can die if you want, but don't drag me down. Go to the warehouse and get a bottle of magic potion to poison yourself and make you mute. Go to any floor you want."

The subordinate quickly admitted his mistake: "I dare not----Mr. Sabeck, you misunderstood, I just wanted to see if there is any way to fish in troubled waters."

Sabek raised his voice and said, "I can tell you clearly, no."

Who is Carl Black?

In the entire scholar era, the only one in the world who is above the tenth level, it is no exaggeration to say that he doesn't even need to move his hands, he can kill them all with just a glance. If they want to touch Blake's fish, they simply want to die.

Even if there really was a way, Sabek would never try it.

Only a fool would have any hope of that happening.

To be honest, Sabek was skeptical about Carl Black's resurrection and didn't completely believe it. After all, he was a person who lived hundreds of years ago. How could he just come back to life? No matter how powerful he was, he should still follow the basic laws of mysticism, right?

But even though he has suspicions, Sabeck will not "investigate".

Just kidding, when Blake started the era of Erudite, not to mention him, even his mother's grandmother wasn't even born yet.

If it turns out to be fake, it would be fine, just a false alarm, but what if it is true and happens to be traced to Blake?

Then even God can't save him.

So, Sabek thought that Carl Black had been resurrected.

Besides, the witch hunt had entered its final stage, and they should have acted with caution.

He has been a witch hunter for so many years and has never failed. What does he rely on?

Isn't it better to be safe than sorry?

Isn't it that everyone is out there to make money and live a good life? If you risk your life for this, what will happen to the balance in your bank account? Will you give it to your neighbor?

"As a leader, I'm giving you a piece of advice," Sabeck said. "Don't even think about anything you shouldn't think about."

After all, they were just a bunch of minions - at least in Blake's eyes.

These big shots are usually quite particular. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't lower himself to deal with you. So just do your own thing and avoid Blake. Whether Blake is resurrected or not has nothing to do with them.

"Yes." The subordinate seemed to have finally figured out the stakes involved and stopped being stubborn. He promised earnestly, "I will make sure everyone stays away from the statue."

"That's right, you are a teachable kid." Sabek was very pleased, but after thinking about it, he was still a little worried, so he said, "Forget it, I just have something to do, why don't you all come back to help me? Don't worry about the virtual space for now, just log off and come back to finish the work first, just stay out of the spotlight."

The subordinate's mind was slightly moved, and he guessed something: "Is there a new self-mark?"

"Yeah." Sabeck nodded and said, "A writer named Sean, you should have heard of him."

"I have heard of it." The subordinate said, "I will give the order right away."

"Okay, let's go."

After hanging up the phone, Sabek took a puff of his cigar and blew out a heart-shaped smoke ring.

This is how he survives.

He can't afford to offend Blake, but can he not afford to offend a little otaku writer?

Just do it and it's done.

What's a little more troublesome is that according to the information he received, Sean is now in the town of Alola.

That place is not easy to enter. There will be an event soon, and there will be more high-level wizards than usual, adding up to about one "Black" -

After all, these are people he can't deal with.

but it does not matter.

He can wait.

Sabeck has read Sean's information. This guy seems to like adventure very much. Such a person will not stay in Alola Town forever. This kind of stable life is too boring. Sean can't stay there, so he just needs to wait patiently. He believes that it won't be long before this writer will come out of the safe zone by himself.

have to say.

Sabeck is indeed a capable person.

He guessed correctly.

Sean does plan to go on a long trip in the near future.

He wanted to find the ruins of the Temple of Truth.

In the virtual space, under Adev's persuasion and statement, everyone temporarily left the meeting room.

When Sean came back, there was no one there, but there were voices talking at the door, as if Adev was telling Kate something. Sean ignored him and quietly came out from behind the statue, logged off and returned to the hospital.

Iris and Lanter were still guarding the ward. When the latter saw him wake up, he was as excited as if he had seen his old father who was diagnosed as a vegetative state finally open his eyes. He was a little incoherent and said, "Mr. Sean, you are finally alive!"

Sean:

"2

No, has he died?

Iris also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I'm glad you woke up. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Sean: “No?”

He was a little confused about the situation. Why was Iris here too?

After asking carefully, Sean realized that everyone thought something had happened to him and was extremely worried. He felt guilty and speechless for a moment: "Isn't it normal for the potion to take a few days to be absorbed?"

"It's normal." Lant said. Theoretically, there would be nothing wrong with it for several months, let alone a few days. But worrying too much would lead to confusion. In addition, Sean completed the breakthrough in just a few hours, which in Lant's eyes meant that he had completed the absorption ahead of time and spent the rest of the time sleeping.

Long periods of sleep due to unknown reasons are generally considered "coma" in the medical field of this era. Sean: "...—"

"In that case, has Miss Flame Crow also been here?" he asked.

Iris' tone shifted: "Why, you're looking for Miss Flame Crow right after you woke up, do you miss her?"

"Ahem." Sean coughed lightly, "I have something to tell her."

He thought to himself that Elviri was his only relative in this life, so what was wrong with thinking about it?

It's normal, okay?

"If you don't mind, you can tell me first." Iris blinked, "She went to the virtual space to deal with something, and she may not be back until later."

Sean thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

Iris is trustworthy.

He actually trusted the witch.

But Lant himself said: "Wait, I'll step aside for a moment."

He was very happy that Sean was willing to believe him, especially since he had just been questioned by Elvira, so this trust was even more precious. However, he had to have the proper sense of propriety and etiquette. It was Sean's own "family affairs", so it would be better for him as an outsider to stay out.

Rand closed the door gently.

Sean laughed and did not force Rand to stay. He would thank Rand for the potion another day. Rand had been guarding him for so long without closing his eyes, and it was time for him to have a good rest.

"What does Mr. Sean want to say?" Elise asked as she sat down and picked up an apple to peel it.

Sean sat up, stretched his arms and legs, and asked, "Have you ever tried to find the ruins of the Temple of Truth?"

Elise was stunned for a moment, and her movements paused slightly. She didn't expect that Sean wanted to talk about this, so it was quite sudden. She replied, "Of course I have looked for it."

It wasn't just her and Elviri who went looking.

Almost everyone who cares about Blake and the Temple has looked for the ruins of the Temple.

For example, Kate, Sopea, Night Watchman, etc.

But everyone gets the same result in the end.

did not find.

Sean was puzzled: "How come you didn't find it? With your strength, shouldn't it be easy to find it?"

The ruins are not like people. They are small and can move. They are fixed, and along with Covre, it would be difficult to hide such a large abandoned city even if one wanted to, right?

“We thought it would be easy to find at first,” Iris said, “especially since we remembered the geographical location of Covry.”

The center of the continent is the Holy City of Vatican City. Covre is near the Holy City. I can't remember the direction clearly, but it is only a few hundred kilometers long and wide. Even if I use the most stupid method and search east, west, south, and north, it won't take much time.

But it turned out that they were wrong.

Five years ago, she and Elviri took the world map and went to the center of the continent.

There were many prosperous and beautiful foreign metropolises there - this was expected. After all, hundreds of years had passed since the era of the scholars, and the former holy land of Kofr could not have maintained its original appearance. So they moved into these cities and began to investigate carefully in their own way.

According to their thinking, even if the wheel of history could crush everything, as one of the most glorious city-states in the past, Kovri should have left some clues. But the result was that no matter how hard they looked, even digging deep into the ground, they could not find any evidence that Kovri and the temple had ever existed.

Not only in Kofroy, but also in the Holy City of Vatican.

The city in the center of the continent is called "New Eldridge", or New Eldu for short. It has the largest church in the world, which is the same as in the era of the Scholars, but the appearance of the church, the customs of the city, and even the local water, soil, specialties, etc. are completely different from those of the Holy City.

The entire era of scholars was like the ancient civilizations in science fiction books, which evaporated from the world without leaving any trace, as if it had never existed.

There is not even a single word about the era of the polymath in the history books of this world.

If she and Elviri had not regained their memories and met Adev and Kate on the road who were also looking for Kofri and the temple, they might have thought they were mentally ill.
