"May I have your name?"

William looked at the man kneeling in front of him and asked.

"As a member of the Crow Flock, I have no name and can only call myself the Crow Feather Prophet."

William frowned slightly and continued to ask:

"How did you know I was coming here?"

"My Lord has predicted your return and ordered me to be here to greet you."

The other party continued to answer respectfully.

This is the first person William meets who knows his identity after traveling through time.

Or... not a human being?

"Are you a Raven?"

William asked, looking at his crow-like round and deep amber pupils.

"Yes, Lord Judge."

The other party still maintained the previous posture and replied.

"But I remember that the arakkoa were killed in that purification a thousand years ago."

The arakkoa are not like humans or elves, they are intelligent creatures that originally existed in the world.

They are the product of a curse.

It is said that the Crow People first appeared in the 20th year of the Platinum Calendar, shortly after the Seven Holy Spirits Creation Model was proposed.

At that time, there was a group of scholars who set the grand goal of unraveling the nature of the Moon Realm. They firmly believed that the Moon Realm was not a direct product of the creation of the Seven Holy Spirits, but had a more complex formation principle. They believed that this path could bring them

True immortality. For this reason, they started a lot of research on the moon realm and went far enough on this road.

It was so far away that it offended the three kings of nothingness.

Queen of Whispers, Lord of the Undertow, Pale Poet.

These three kings of nothingness directly gave them eternal life.

At the same time, a curse was given to them.

The Whispering Queen makes the thread of conspiracy always connected to their eyes, and they will deduce countless cruel future episodes, and the countless tragic possibilities will torture them forever.

The Lord of the Undertide tore their original souls apart and patched them with blood and shadow, causing their emotions to constantly switch between the two extremes of bloodthirsty rage and depressive ennui.

The pale poet gave them a constitution that would constantly bring misfortune to themselves and their surroundings as long as they existed in the world. From then on, misfortunes and disasters will always be with them.

These three curses complement each other. Their extreme emotions make them eager to change the terrible future they see in their eyes, but the bad luck that haunts them always makes them push the future into a more tragic situation.

This cycle goes back and forth.

While gaining immortality, he had to endure eternal torture.

Most of them collapsed and degenerated into monsters and were killed. A few learned how to control their minds and not be tortured and went crazy. They survived and even learned how to channel the power of the curse for their own use.

These people are the arakkoa of later generations, a hidden group who can see the possibility of the future without control, can use shadows, blood and their own rage as weapons, and bring doom to the surroundings.

They are regarded as strange and ominous symbols on the mainland, and were even classified as moon realm monsters for a time.

On the eve of the first full-scale invasion of the Moon a thousand years ago, in order to eliminate the hidden dangers of the Moon in the world, the Seven Kingdoms, with the support of the Holy Spirit Church, launched a large-scale purge campaign against the curse of the Moon across the continent.

The arakkoa were declared completely extinct during this purge.

Except for one person...

"Yes, Lord Inquisitor, but you also know that there was an arakkoa who escaped the purge."

Crowfeather Seer replied.

Of course William knows.

Coles Jackdaw, the final seat of the Tribunal, the last of the arakkoa.

William has no doubt that Coles is the last of the arakkoa in the true sense. After all, he has the label "The Last of the Arakkoa" on his character attribute column.

"Yes, but that person is not you. What is your relationship with him?"

William asked seriously.

The arakkoa are unable to have offspring, and the only inheritance is to transfer their curse to another person who willingly bears it before death.

But it is obviously impossible for the arakkoa in front of him, because after enduring the strong curse of Coles, if he can still survive and breathe, then his strength will never be as strong as it is now.

"That Lord dispersed his curse and left a legacy. We are the new arakkoa who have inherited his legacy."

The arakkoa replied.

William continued to ask:

"So was that the one who predicted my arrival? Coles Jackdaw?"

The man didn't reply, but continued to maintain his previous respectful attitude.

And the look on his face seemed to say - I can't say.

William noticed that the other party mentioned the name "Crows".

William had learned about this secret organization before.

Previously, he moved a large cabinet from the archives of the Star Lighthouse in the City of Thorns, and the self-destruction prohibition was engraved on the cabinet. After William had some time to deal with the matter of the Holy Tomb, he returned to the Dusk Fortress and used the underground enchantment.

The tools in the room were cracked.

Most of the documents contained in it were information about many Lunar Realm worship sects in the northern part of Blackwater Province - including secret societies that secretly preached within the Magister Hall of the Rose Palace and underground at the University of Offa. The details of the information made William have a deep understanding of the Parliament of the Stars.

There is a new understanding of intelligence gathering capabilities.

According to Vincent, there was a secret agreement between Duke Simon and the tower guardian at that time, and all evidence of moon worship in the Rose Palace Mage Hall would be destroyed. However, it seems that the old guy did not keep his promise, and

I kept it for myself, and I don’t know if it was used for future quarrels.

It's a pity that he didn't expect that Simon was not a good person, or he did, but he didn't expect that the other party would turn against him faster than him, and his methods would be more ruthless, so this information did not wait until the day when he could use it.

Among those materials, there was a report about the "Crows" lunar cult organization that attracted William's special attention.

Because in that report, the word that appeared most often was the word "unknown".

The specific object of worship is unknown, the purpose of the activity is unknown, the organizational structure is unknown, and the size of the group is unknown...

Apart from being certain that the object of worship of the other party is not any void king, and that every member who joins must take an oath called "silence", there is no other valuable information in this document.

And that vow called "silence"...

According to the records of the Star Lighthouse, they once captured a peripheral member of the Crow Group and tortured him to reveal the identity of the object of his worship. However, the other party said that he had sworn a "silence" oath and could not say anything.

Information about owning a host.

In the end, there was really no other way. The tower guard personally used [Law of the Dead] to dig out some information from the opponent's undead. As a result, the opponent just said the name "Father of Crows".

It was torn into pieces by an unknown force.

It was the same situation as William interrogating the traitor David Orbis from the University of Offa.

If you say your name, you will be completely silenced.

So William looked at the Crow Man who had remained silent and did not continue to ask further questions.

After thinking for a few seconds, he continued to ask:

"So you can't say anything?"

The man nodded.

"Let me ask, can you just nod or shake your head?"

"No, this is the restriction of our activities in this world. Any information about our Lord must be kept silent."

The man shook his head and said.

William felt a slight headache.

Finally, we have clues about the members of the Tribunal. Why is this situation happening now?
