Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

After everyone left, Leon asked Sisyphus: "Why did you help me

The young speaker smiled and asked, "What is it?"

"Large chunks of runestone won't crumble over time. That's what you said yourself. But when you were explaining it to me, you said it would disappear over time."

Sisyphus said, "The remaining information recorded by our predecessors says that those who are enemies of demons may be influenced by them. I think this may be the case with Mr. Leon. Can we talk about it?"

"Okay, but before that, I want to ask, I have always been concerned about why there are only residual information. As the founder of the guild, isn't there any systematic information left behind?" Li Ang said.

"Destroyed."

Sisyphus's smile faded. "Although the arcane shield has been breached only rarely over the past three hundred years and has been gradually optimized and strengthened, the invasion of the Holy City is not an isolated incident."

"Forty-three years after the Holy City was founded, Sword King Espada passed away, Lady Fufu left, Sigurd Vaywen disappeared, and only Lichman Chaaiin remained in the Holy City.

"A mysterious group of people attacked the Parliament Tower and destroyed a lot of information.

"The Speaker's secret document is recorded—"

Sisyphus pointed to the area below Leon's neck.

"—They have a pattern of a giant eye on them."

184. Disaster Front

After the Speaker said this, Li Ang felt a little nervous for no reason.

Knowing about the Empire of Star Soul, the Annihilation Knight, the Apostle of the Divine Eye, the "Eye of God", the Helmet of the Divine Eye... and the Divine Eye Pendant after Faro's transformation, this series of events is the origin of Leon's spiritual vision.

It was on the basis of spiritual vision that his 9th-level sorcerer made his first leap forward in the level of his profession. Years of accumulation burst out in one day, and he achieved the development of spiritual drive, deceleration, acceleration and the new mystery of wide-area speed control.

The Apostle of the Eye of God who had been a spy with Dorothy's brother and the Winders family was also at the level of a sorcerer.

From now on, the star souls, the gods, the demons... they are all interconnected. Although the specific background is still unclear, the "Eye of God" is the key beyond imagination.

The "Eye of God" is a latent being that is connected to these objects and still exists in the world.

Even though Leon is not an accomplice of the "big eyes", his ability to control it is almost the same.

Perhaps it was because he was spiritually cursed, so he felt a little guilty.

"That eye is because we encountered an enemy with the same icon. It was just a trophy."

It was Dorothy who spoke up.

Just now, the whole audience was full of powerful people in the extraordinary realm. The girls, at this stage of the extraordinary realm, could already feel their oppression, so they were not very active.

But when Dorothy heard this, and it involved her experience on Spark Island, she didn't hide it. Instead, she stood next to Leon and began to explain.

Dorothy said, "The forces with that eye were responsible for the Empire's blockade of Ignis's airspace. Lancelot of the Flame of Order experienced this firsthand and can attest to this."

Elafia took out the Helmet of Divine Eye that she had taken from the dimensional gap and placed it in front of the Speaker.

"I also eliminated a small fry with black armor. In the four major airspaces, that kind of power is at the top."

Sisyphus stroked his chin. "So there's another story. When I asked you to come here before, you just said you were busy investigating the empire."

The Speaker smiled and said, "That's great. It seems that things are now connected."

Indeed, Leon thought.

As soon as the Earth Serpent cried and Zoe's Star Soul Greenhouse physique awakened, the Empire's ships surrounded Satus Island.

Zoe's parents are hunted by the mysterious "Organization". They hide from the "Star Soul" and search for the remains of the gods with Cha'ain.

If we make a bold guess, that organization is the "Eye of God" and they are closely related to the people of God.

Li Ang said, "They call this mark the 'Eye of God'."

In his impression, the Apostle of the Divine Eye, the Finat, and the Campbell families did not explicitly mention this title. He himself saw it on the system panel, but after telling the Speaker this title, he could have a clear direction for the investigation.

As for Dorothy, she was so emotionally agitated at the time that she probably didn't remember these details.

"The Eye of God?" Sisyphus pondered for a moment. "Judging from cults like the Dragon Worship Cult and the Fairy Forest Cult, there's a possibility that there are descendants and believers of the ancient civilization. Judging from their names, they must have a strong connection with the gods.

The Speaker analyzed and said, "They may be descendants, admirers, or have inherited the knowledge."

"This is crucial information, thank you Mr. Leon," said Sisyphus.

The blond youth then said to Alafia, "In that case, the investigation of Ignis's airspace will become an official matter of the guild."

"Now, as Chairperson of the Knights' Council and Chief Member of the Guild Affairs Committee, I appoint Councillor Ellaphia Alma as Commander of the upcoming operation."

Elafia stood facing the Speaker with a serious expression, like a knight about to be crowned.

Sisyphus smiled and said, "We'll work out the name of the action and what to do later."

The serious atmosphere created by the earnest blonde girl completely collapsed. Leon could almost see the veins on her forehead bulging with anger. She scolded, "Can you please have some dignity as the Speaker and be more formal? Are you going to be like those scumbags?"

"Oh, everyone's gone. I want to be more casual. Those guys are all unreliable. You're the only council member who's a guild official."

Sisyphus maintained a steady expression and emotion. "Anyway, this is a serious matter. I'll ask Flower Sword, Frostheart, and Sandstorm to dispatch personnel. The Order Investigation Team won't be able to move, so I'll send one or two elite squads. You'll command them all."

"Let's leave it at that for now regarding the Empire. While we take it seriously, there's no need to make a big fuss right away. Although the Holy Capital's strength was limited in the early stages, it was able to cause such significant damage. The Eye of God shouldn't be underestimated."

While the Speaker was organizing his words, Zoe interrupted, "Why don't the council members care about the affairs of the guild?"

Sisyphus looked at the girl and asked, "Young lady, are you asking why I didn't allow them to participate in the investigation of Ignis's airspace?"

Zoe nodded.

The Speaker said, "Your team was only summoned to the Holy City by me. Your leader probably didn't have time to explain the specific situation of the Demonic Disaster Realm. Let him take this opportunity to tell you."

Sisyphus threw the question to Leon.

Li Ang crossed his arms and said, "In short, in the eyes of the Speaker, it's a small matter at the moment."

"A small matter?!" Zoe was a little surprised, and her voice became louder.

Dorothy also felt that this statement underestimated the threat posed by the empire.

"That's really too much, Mr. Leon. Are you complaining about my laziness?"

Sisyphus sighed, "I just want to rest for a while. Never mind. Let me explain everything in detail."

He tapped his golden staff lightly, and an empty map unfolded behind him.

That was the panoramic view of Newbis's airspace.

Sisyphus clicked on the area of the Demonic Disaster Realm, and the entire Demonic Disaster Realm was enlarged.

The girls had never seen this kind of sky map. Leon explained that this was a zoomable magic sky map produced by Qianta City.

In the enlarged image of the Demonic Disaster Realm, Sisyphus pointed out the location of the Holy City.

"We're here now."

He smiled at the girls and said, "Is the Demonic Disaster Realm very vast?"

After seeing them nod, the Speaker said, "The airspace range marked by the sky map has a standard. Otherwise, the Demonic Disaster Domain would be considered endless.

"But the endless demonic calamity is of no value to humans, so there's no need to draw it. The area drawn by the guild cartographer is the range within which the sky knights can operate."

Sisyphus pointed to the farthest point and said, "This is the farthest point of the Demonic Calamity Realm, the westernmost point of the world, the Tower of the Abyss."

The Tower of the Abyss takes its name from its image.

The large areas in the sky of Newbis should all be sky islands, and both civilizations and settlements are built on sky islands.

However, in the Demonic Disaster Realm, abnormal cases will occur.

The Tower of the Abyss is a mysterious building that is as huge as an island. It is like a giant god, in front of which humans are like ants, grabbing mountains and islands with his arms and directly splicing and twisting them into a spiral thorn.

It hangs upside down in the sky, with its spiral spire pointing directly to the bloody earth, piercing into the strange clouds of chaotic magic below. No one knows where the bottom of the spire is located, but visually, it seems as if it can reach directly to the bloody earth.

The interior of the Tower of Reverse Abyss is divided into layers, each layer is like a small world, and the area of the top layer is even larger than the Holy City.

Sisyphus said, "This is the most dangerous Jedi in the Demonic Disaster Zone, and even in all of Newbis. But we can't ignore it, because within it are monsters that the residents of other airspaces can't even imagine. It itself is like the embodiment of a world-destroying demonic disaster."

Li Ang said, "I heard before that the Feast of the Gods was going to attack the Tower of the Abyss. When I met Farina in the Flashing Fields, I asked her about it, and she said she had asked for leave."

Sisyphus said, "We just returned from the Feast of the Gods operation. Our progress has increased by two, and we have conquered the -23rd floor."

No wonder that Ox man had time to come to the meeting.

Sisyphus said to the girls, "There are many places like this."

"Ah?" They finally couldn't sit still anymore.

“Isn’t it beyond imagination?”

The blond youth smiled and pointed at the map of the Demonic Disaster Zone, clicking on each one: "Lost Ancient Battlefield, Dragon Skeleton Sea, Rhythmic Crystal Island Cave, Primordial Beast Lair... These are all second-level, but they are also 'dead zones' where endless monsters always swarm out.

"Most groups fight non-stop in these areas, rotating between them during breaks. The areas that require constant suppression are generally referred to as the Disaster Front.

"These other islands, the remains of the Bailong Civilization, the Stargazing Civilization, the Divine People, the Xianlin Empire... are scattered everywhere. They contain dangerous elements left over from technologies that cannot be reproduced today. Some of them, if not eliminated, will trigger demonic disasters. These places are usually called secret realms.

"The Dark Night Ancient City is a special case. It is gradually approaching a desolate place."

Since its establishment, the guild has invested manpower, developed its strength, and improved the average strength of the Sky Knights, hoping to get more people to join the cause of resisting the demonic disaster.

The world is not stagnant, it is constantly moving forward, and the distant end is destruction.

What the Sky Knight Guild wants to do is to slow down the world's pace towards that moment.

So, even if the group was acting for their own benefit under the guild's commission, they were actually doing something beneficial to the world. They suppressed the demonic disaster and prevented its expansion.

Just like controlling a flood, as long as you retreat, the evil disaster will come rolling in and will be unstoppable.

During these three hundred years, the more we advance, the more we cannot stop, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"Do we... have to keep fighting in there?" Dorothy asked cautiously.

"Then it depends on whether your captain wants to exploit you?" Sisyphus said with a smile.

Leon said, "Don't worry. While the guild's goals are noble and ambitious, for most Sky Knights, this is just a way to work, adventure, and make money. Once you take on a few more missions and get familiar with the pattern, you won't feel the heavy responsibility is on you anymore."

Leon looked around the parliament hall, his eyes passed over the seats and looked at the people in the holy city below the tower.

"I think the best thing the guild did was to align its own goals with those of the vast majority of adventurers, which led to the current harmonious operation model.

"After all, compared to the vague notion of saving the world, many people are more concerned with whether they can live a wonderful and peaceful life in this life, or at least achieve one of these goals. The guild has helped many people achieve this goal, and this is the foundation of its stability and what makes it great."

"Mr. Leon is quite insightful. No wonder he can help the soul rise to the pinnacle." Sisyphus praised with a hint of exaggeration.

“It’s really just the feeling you get from working with all sorts of different people.”

Zoe pulled Leon's arm and said, "I'll do anything for Leon's dream."

Andasu said, "Me too."

Alulu clenched her fist and said, "I'm not afraid of the challenges ahead."

"It's better than before," Dorothy whispered.

Elafia crossed her arms, as if she had something hidden in her heart.

Sisyphus said, "Nice crew, reminds me of my old friends."

Elafia was a little surprised: "Are you going to tell me about your mysterious past?"

"Did not say."

Sisyphus smiled and said, "Let's get back to why we kept Mr. Leon."

"Are you cursed by a demon?"

The blond young man's shocking words caused the atmosphere to freeze for a moment.

"Why do you say that?" Li Ang did not admit it immediately.

"The founders said that those who fight against demons may become demons themselves. The word 'curse' often appears in the remnants of lost materials.

"This word, in various dialects, means wishing others to become worse and worse, and to perish. However, there has never been a corresponding spell in any professional system. It seems that this is just a concept that exists in culture.

"Some of the former Speakers speculated that curses might be a spell used by sorcerers. The name of this profession itself is very close to the etymology of the word curse.

"Other professions can achieve the effects achieved through spiritual spellcasting more easily. Why would there be a profession that specializes in doing things that achieve half the result with twice the effort? This profession is so weak, perhaps it has lost some knowledge. That could be a curse. This is also a profession that comes from the devil."

Sisyphus finished speaking and looked at Leon meaningfully: "What do you think, Mr. 9th-level sorcerer?"

The former Speaker was indeed thoughtful and demonstrated his wisdom as a Speaker, Li Ang sighed.

Li Ang himself speculated that the sorcerer's ability mainly came from two aspects.

First, Lei Xiao Xinghun told him that the sorcerer came by imitating the devil, so he imitated the method of spiritual manipulation.

The three grimoires on the demon's body demonstrate that the ability to manipulate spirituality can ultimately encompass everything. Therefore, sorcerers can put in more effort and utilize the abilities of other professions on a single person.
