Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

-------------------------------------

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Shi Hen got on Raven's car and sped towards the outskirts of Raymont. The prosperity and lights of the city were left far behind them.

"The moon is so full today."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh.

According to the lunar calendar, today is August 15th, which is the festival when people in China remember their relatives and friends.

But he was all alone in this world, so no one could miss him.

"Yeah." Raven looked up at the sky and nodded in agreement while holding the steering wheel. "Come to think of it, the progress of this mission was made thanks to the moon."

"Ok?"

Shi Hen expressed his doubts at the right time.

"You've been here for so long, you must have heard of the legend of Raymond, right?"

Raven prompted.

"The knight from a thousand years ago?"

Shi Hen asked.

The name of this city is Remont, which is said to come from a knight who lived a thousand years ago.

Although the knight's family no longer exists, many stories about him are still circulating, and the most famous one is...

"A thousand years ago, an extremely terrifying tsunami hit Sicily. The black waves even reached the sky, causing the entire island to be in turmoil."

Raven slowly told the story.

"The great Raymond walked on the sea, and with one sword he calmed all the waves, making the sky clear again." Shi Hen added, and the expression on his face turned into surprise, "So, this is true?"

Although this story is recorded in Raymond's history book, as for history... everyone who understands it understands it.

In many cases, the subjective conjectures of recorders will also become part of history.

Perhaps, at that time, Raymond was just saving a few people in an ordinary storm?

The dust of time blows by, and only God knows what happened in the past.

But since Raven is investigating this matter, it means that Raymond's story is not entirely false, and there must be hidden information in it.

"According to my research, this Raymond is very likely a natural stigma awakener."

As he spoke, Raven secretly glanced at the boy next to him.

"Are the stigmata left behind by Raymond what we are looking for?"

Ignoring Raven's gaze, Shi Hen frowned slightly and thought secretly.

If this story is true, then this Raymond's power is a little too strong to be reasonable.

Facing a natural disaster of such magnitude that could destroy the entire island of Sicily, he would not be affected much, but if he wanted to quell the storm with one sword... he would probably have to use the power of his Herrscher's Core to do so.

The power of natural stigmata has its limits.

At least, Shi Hen himself cannot quell the natural disaster with the power of the Holy Mark alone.

"Maybe." Raven curled his lips and did not comment, "There is also intelligence showing that Raymond may be holding a powerful relic of a previous civilization.

It was thanks to the power of that relic that she was able to save Sicily."

Raymond, whose full name is Olivia Raymond, was a female knight who was active a thousand years ago.

"Holy relics?... Then this treasure hunt is going to be really interesting."

There was some anticipation in Shi Hen's eyes.

Generally speaking, relics from the pre-civilization era can be called holy relics, among which the Key of God series is the most famous.

But apart from the Key of God, the other relics may not be that bad, because you never know to what extent those crazy people in Fire Moth have distorted the technology tree.

For example, the immortal holy sword that can cut through space - Yulandel.

If anyone dares to say that Yulandel is not as good as the Key of God, then the most powerful Valkyrie will immediately jump out and give you two bangs.

"Don't hold your hopes too high. No one knows what we'll find this time until the very end."

Raven advised with the tone of someone who had experienced it.

She has encountered many cases where the promotion did not match the actual product.

Maybe the intelligence shows a holy sword, but when you arrive at the destination you will find that what is inserted there is just a glorious sword of courage, with at most a shield of shining will attached.

Shi Hen nodded to show that he had listened.

Looking at the moonlit fields in the distance, Shi Hen turned his head to look at the mercenary-dressed Raven and asked, "By the way, what does Raymond's legacy have to do with the moon?"

The moon was not mentioned in the story just now.

"There is a record that mentioned that Raymond ascended to heaven at the end of his life and went to the kingdom of God on the moon." Raven said softly, looking at the moon disk in the sky that was radiating infinite light. "And that day happened to be a full moon."

Time Trace: ...

Another time he swept the sea with a sword, and another time he lifted the moon and flew up into the sky. What kind of ultimate stitched monster is this?

Could it be that Raymond's holy sword was pulled out of the stone?

But, the full moon...

Looking at the perfect white jade plate in the sky, Shi Hen inexplicably thought of the Honkai beast he encountered in the sea during the day.

Although it is not clear what the full moon means, since it is something worth recording specifically, the moon must have a special significance.

It really is, it makes people look forward to it more and more.

Under the moonlight, the corners of the boy's mouth curled up into an arc.

Chapter 10: Treasure Hunt on a Moonlit Night

After driving all the way, Shi Hen and Raven finally stopped at the foot of a mountain.

"We can't drive on the rest of the road, we have to walk on our own."

Carrying a black leather bag, Raven got out of the car and pointed with a strong flashlight at a small path that meandered upwards beside the road.

"Where is up there?"

Carrying a leather bag similar to that of a legendary mercenary, Shi Hen also had a flashlight.

I don’t know where Raven drove the car to. There is a street lamp very far away here, and the path is pitch black, even the moonlight can’t shine through.

Although Shi Hen himself was able to see in the dark, since Raven, the leader of the organization, was holding a lamp, he naturally had to be more restrained.

"You'll know when you arrive."

Raven just smiled mysteriously.

They walked up the path at a fairly fast pace.

After all, they have Honkai Energy, and Raven and Shihen's physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. The winding, dimly lit forest path is not much different from a flat road for them.

Soon, the two reached the end of the road.

After turning a corner, a majestic building appeared in front of the two.

Just like the castles that often appear in knight stories, this building is made entirely of bricks and stones, with a thick high wall surrounding the mountain, and concave and convex walls leaving holes for shooting, and there are several tall towers in the corners.

Inside the wall is the Gothic-style main building, which looks grand and majestic.

Needless to say, this is a castle in itself!

But unlike the majestic and solemn castle in the story, this castle was uninhabited and unlit, and it had obviously been abandoned for many years. Even the city walls had several holes missing.

Under the moonlight, the castle looked like a broken corpse, waiting alone for visitors to pay their respects.

"This is the castle that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Remont family."

Raven introduced himself.

"Is there really Raymond's treasure in here?"

Shi Hen couldn't help but frown and expressed his doubt.

A thousand years is a very long time, even national dynasties can be replaced by several generations.

Rather than expecting how many treasures are left in this castle, it is better to believe that Qin Shihuang can crawl out of the grave and become a great general when he is fifty.

"According to the results of the investigation, there will be strange Honkai energy fluctuations here every time there is a full moon." Raven took out a palm-sized machine and pointed at the circles of ripples on the screen and said, "This place must be hiding something, but ordinary people can't see it."

Seeing Raven's serious look, Shi Hen could only nod and accept the result.

Although this statement may not sound very scientific, it is actually in line with scientific principles.

Simple optical camouflage is all that is needed to create an invisible effect, not to mention that the ancient civilization also possessed the black technology that could interfere with space.

If Raymond from a thousand years ago really possessed the holy relic, then it is possible that he would do something that goes against common sense.

The Honkai energy combined with pre-civilization technology was equivalent to the presence of gods in the ancient times when civilization and technology were not yet developed. The power and means of the gods were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

If you even examine it carefully, you will find that many of the myths and legends of this era are related to the relics of previous civilizations.

After passing through the collapsed gate and entering the castle, an even more desolate scene appeared before the two men.

Overgrown weeds occupied every piece of land that could grow, bricks, stones and rotten wood were piled up randomly, and from time to time you could see a few corpses that had long since turned into bones.

"It is said that this place was still in use until before World War II."

As he surveyed the desolate landscape before him, Raven's tone was filled with a hint of surprise.

"It's a pity that there is no way to fine those people for destroying ancient buildings."

Scanning the area, Shi Hen indeed found some traces that looked like those left by explosives, but he couldn't be sure because they were too old.

"This castle was rebuilt more than a hundred years ago, and every piece is different from the original one."

The raven pouted, and its boots made a slight sound on the grass and debris.

"Even so, Raymond's treasure has not been discovered yet?"

Shi Hen couldn't help but admire the other party's profoundness in the art of hiding.

I think this knight must be able to find a lot in common with a certain doctor who has been staying in the Thousand Worlds for 50,000 years.

"Yes." Raven couldn't help but sigh, "Some data show that the holy relic in Raymond's possession is very likely related to space."

Space has always been the most difficult ability.

Once these things are involved, things tend to become very troublesome.

"Didn't Tianming find out?"

Shi Hen couldn't help but ask.

The bishop has always been interested in spatial abilities.

Moreover, Sicily is really not far from the headquarters of Destiny.

"The technologies of World Serpent and Destiny are not exactly the same." Raven raised the palm-sized device in his hand with a bit of pride on his face, "This is the organization's latest Houkai energy detector."

If there had not been a breakthrough in technology in this area, the World Snake might not have noticed what Raymond was hiding.

"That's it."

The traces of time are clear.

While the Big Three are often mentioned in the same breath, each organization has a distinct technology focus.

For example, although both are biotechnology, the artificial stigmata of Sentence is used to universally improve the adaptability of the Valkyries to Honkai energy, while the World Serpent directly abandons its human identity and is committed to turning humans into Honkai beasts.

Therefore, it is normal for the World Serpent to surpass Destiny in certain aspects of its technical level.

"But..." Restraining his overly scattered thoughts, Shi Hen stepped through the fallen door and entered the castle hall, with a bit more hesitation in his expression, "Where should we start looking?"

Even though it had long been in ruins, the castle was still too large for them.

Standing at the entrance of the castle hall, the two were like children who had accidentally entered a giant's house.

Faced with such a huge castle, even a large archaeological team would take a long time to explore it completely, not to mention that they only had two people.

"There's no need to search every corner. We can use some modern methods." As he spoke, Raven took out a disc-shaped thing from his backpack and said, "Install these things in various places in the castle. The locations and usage methods have been sent to your terminal."

In a thousand years, even if this was once a noble castle, explorers with various purposes were able to search every corner of the castle.
