Angel thought for a while and then asked the doubts in his heart.
Perhaps it was because of the previous overturns that Laplace was not as taciturn as before, but said calmly: "Human beings always think of themselves as smart, but in fact, when prejudices are deeply rooted, they often cannot help themselves.
Know."
Angel: "What do you mean?"
Angel didn't understand why Laplace suddenly mentioned "human prejudice"? Could it be that the devil can awaken twice? Is it human prejudice that one awakening is the limit?
Laplace didn't answer and asked instead: "How about you tell me what you know about the Panic World and Demons?"
Although Angel was confused, he still explained what he learned.
After listening to Angel's story, Laplace did not make any comments. Instead, he continued: "This is just your own opinion. Can your opinion represent everyone else? Why don't you ask your companions? Maybe they also have something to add.
.”
Angel didn't know what he meant, but he still looked at others subconsciously.
Doakes also came back to his senses a little at this time. Seeing Angel looking at him, he thought for a while: "I know, you have basically said it. However, I remember that I once listened to the guests chatting in the tavern.
I have said that there are three theories of origin of demons in the panic world..."
"But I didn't hear the three specific ones." When Doakes said this, he couldn't help complaining: "The group of chatting guests looked like a caravan, but they talked in a hidden way.
He looks shameful."
Vai said angrily: "Don't forget what you are doing before talking to others. You are eavesdropping!"
Doakes: "I was eavesdropping above board!"
"It's all eavesdropping anyway. What's the difference between being fair and being sneaky?"
When Doakes was about to retort, Angel coughed and interrupted their argument.
While their attention was diverted, Angel quickly looked at the Black Earl and asked the Black Earl if he had anything to add.
Black Earl: "I've heard of the theory about the origin of demons that he talked about. It was in the Flower Monthly magazine that recorded "The Secret of Winter" a hundred years ago."
""Secrets of Winter"?" Angel expressed doubts. In his memory, there was no impression of this journal.
Not only Angel, but everyone else also looked like they had never heard of it.
Black Earl: "This is the internal journal of Winter College. Only professors of Winter College can read it."
Angel frowned. Since only professors at Winter College can read it, why did the Black Earl read it?
The Black Earl seemed to have seen through Angel's thoughts and said calmly: "It is said that only the professors of Winter College can read it, but the purpose of publishing this journal at that time was for outsiders to read it."
Amid everyone's puzzled expressions, Earl Black explained the situation at that time.
To talk about why "Secrets of Winter" published this news about the origin of demons, we have to start with a small conflict between the Frost Moon Alliance and the extremist sect a few months before the journal was published.
Yes, they are the Frost Moon Alliance and the Extreme Sect. These two hegemonic organizations in the Southern Wizarding World.
At that time, a team from the Frost Moon Alliance secretly transported a batch of demon corpses from the abyss back to the Southern Territory. However, just as they were teleporting back from the abyss to the Boundary Island in the Long Sea of Baikal, they were overthrown by the extremist sect.
Originally, the Frost Moon Alliance and the Extreme Sect had always maintained a certain tacit understanding on the matter of "smuggling" and not interfering with each other. Occasionally, the Frost Moon Alliance would sell information about a few stowaways to the Extreme Sect so that they would not be embarrassed on the surface.
However, this time the smuggling was entirely the fault of the extremist sect, and the Frost Moon Alliance was not informed.
It is said that it is a gray-robed bishop in the extremist sect who makes his own opinions. The reason is very simple... there are some absolute extremists in the extremist sect. They are not loyal to the archbishop, but are only loyal to the "will of the world."
The style of this school is the extreme of extremes, and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in its eyes.
It happened that a certain gray-robed bishop from this faction was on duty at Boundary Island, and someone happened to "accidentally" leak the information about the Frost Moon Alliance's smuggling team, so there was this small conflict.
In the end, the extreme sect confiscated all the demon corpses, and several apprentices of the Frost Moon Alliance died.
After this conflict, there was no apparent disagreement between the two forces.
After all, extremist sects represent "justice" and adhere to the banner of the will of the world. To resist them is to resist the world.
However, everyone was silent on the surface, but secretly, the Frost Moon Alliance still made some small moves.
With Meng Qi, the most powerful wizard in the Southern Territory, here, if they insist on accepting this "extreme insult", where will they put their faces?
Therefore, there is a series of secret revenge. These revenges are said to be secret, but in order to regain face, there is also an element of acting, so the "secret" here does not absolutely mean "acting in secret". It refers to
Ordinary wizards don't know it, but the high-level wizards in the Southern Region are well aware of this "secret secret".
Not only to demonstrate the hegemony of the Frost Moon Alliance, but also to show that they will never suffer the consequences of being dumb.
In this series of revenge, there was the "Secrets of Winter" from Winter Academy.
Winter Academy is one of the thirteen wizard organizations under the Frost Moon Alliance. Their "Secrets of Winter" was originally only open to internal audiences, but a high-level witch "accidentally" left this journal in a small circle.
At the tea party, it spread.
But when word spread here, it was still the case that the higher-ups knew about it and ordinary wizards knew nothing about it.
The reason why Winter Academy did this is because there was an article in "Secrets of Winter" that made insinuations about extremist sects.
And this article is "The Origin of Demons in the Panic World".
According to the article, the existence of demons in the panic world is very strange. According to research, there may be three origins.
Yes, it's just "speculation", that is to say, when I say reasoning, it is reasoning, and you can just make it up.
Of these three origins, the first is the void theory. It is said that the demons in the panic world originally originated from the void.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The argument is that they are too strong. Compared with the intelligent life in the panic world, these monsters are so powerful that they are not even on the same level. How can such a powerful existence be possible?
Could it be a native creature? After all, the Panic World is so barren that it cannot support powerful monsters.
Therefore, they may come from the void.
The second possibility is the overlapping theory. It means that the world of panic is an overlapping of multiple worlds, just like the fairy tale world, divided into the outer world and the inner world. Monsters mainly come from the inner world.
The argument, again, is that the local area of Panic Realm is too barren to support powerful demons, so there must be other sources. Then the inner and outer worlds are a possibility.
The third possibility is the theory of world will support.
The barrenness of the Panic World may be due to being devoured by alien creatures. The Panic World is a breeding ground for some powerful worlds.
In order to prevent the panic world from continuing to fall into desolation, the will of the world fostered a kind of creature to ascend to power, and this kind of creature is the demon.
Use powerful demons to expel alien creatures and maintain the balance of the panic world.
As for the evidence, there are none. It is just a complete guess. The world will of the panic world is so tolerant of demons, maybe because they have carried the banner of "justice" in the panic world.
Just like an extreme sect, carrying the banner of justice in the wizarding world of the Southern Region.
The above are the three origins of the demons in the Panic Realm...all are speculations without any solid evidence.
The first and second types are basically written just to make up the numbers. The reason why Winter Academy placed this article in "Secrets of Winter" is to focus on the third possibility.
This third theory of origin is completely alluding to extremist sects.
Even anyone who has some knowledge of the structure of the wizarding world in the Southern Territory can see that this is basically a mockery of an extreme sect.
How could the Frost Moon Alliance allow him to disseminate such an article only internally, and write it just for external dissemination?
But I couldn't openly say it was a rumor, so I turned to "Winter Secrets" and created such an "accidentally leaked" drama.
After the extreme sect saw this, even if they wanted to trouble the Frost Moon Alliance, there was no formal and reasonable reason.
Because only people from Winter Academy can see "Secrets of Winter". Why did your extreme sect see it? Is there a spy?
As for deliberately leaking secrets? It is naturally impossible for the Frost Moon Alliance to admit it.
This is a clear conspiracy to disgust the extremist sect through some small actions in order to avenge the original.
And this is just an inconspicuous revenge in a series of revenges. In addition, there are some more blatant behaviors. Therefore, this article is not very important. It is only spread on a small scale among the senior wizards of the Southern Territory.
.
As the leader of the Noah clan, Earl Black is also one of the top wizards in the Southern Region. The Frost Moon Alliance will naturally not forget him.
Even if the Black Earl doesn't want to see this article, the Frost Moon Alliance will use various methods to reveal this article to him.
Therefore, it may seem like secret information, but it’s just because your level of strength is not yet high. When you gain influence, these secret information will naturally be put in front of you.
…
After listening to the Black Earl's story, no one was actually too surprised. It was quite normal for this kind of situation to occur among various organizations and alliances in the Southern Territory.
Overt and covert fighting continues day by day, and intrigues never stop. This is the wizarding world, a world where either you plot against me, or I plot against you.
On the contrary, Laplace, who had listened to the whole story, said softly with a hint of irony: "Ah, human being."
Laplace didn't say anything more, but everyone could detect that disdain.
Seeing the atmosphere change in a tense direction, Angel took the initiative to soften it: "This origin theory information has no solid evidence. It is difficult to say that it is true, right?"
Black Earl: "That's right. However, what I said at the beginning of this article is right. The existence form of the demons in the panic world is too weird. The powerful ones have legendary abilities, but the barrenness in the panic world cannot support them at all.
Such a powerful existence. Therefore, this article does not need to be studied in depth, but it can be used as a reference."
Angel nodded clearly and continued: "Do you have any other information about the Panic World that you would like to add?"
The Black Earl thought for a while and said: "I have an old friend who once wanted to study demons in the panic world, but he failed in the end."
Doakes asked doubtfully: "Repelled by the demon?"
Black Earl: "No. Before he reached the Panic Realm, he was led to a void and a place of disaster by the signpost to the Panic Realm. According to what he said, if you want to go to the Panic Realm, the shortest road passes through this void.
Disaster, however, the disaster in this void fluctuates cyclically. Without detailed data, it is difficult to find a way through the disaster."
"If we take a detour, we will enter the collapse area. This detour will take an unknown amount of space and time. Hundreds of years will also pass by in a blink of an eye."
"In the end, he chose to return."
After listening to the Black Earl's story, everyone was actually a little confused, because there was not much information about this matter. The connection with the panic world was also very weak. If I had to say it, there was a disaster on the way to the panic world and was forced to
Discourage to retreat.
"We haven't reached the Panic World, and are even far away from the Panic World. Is this considered information about the Panic World?" Doakes directly pointed out what everyone was thinking.
Black Earl: "It really doesn't matter. However, the signpost of the Panic Realm was recorded by the Frost Moon Alliance in the "Record of Plane Conquest". The Frost Moon Alliance did not say that this signpost would encounter a void disaster on the way."
Angel: "What do you mean, sir, is the Frost Moon Alliance using this sign to trick people?"
The Black Earl shook his head: "I don't know. I tell you this story just to tell you that the world of panic is a contradictory world, full of mysteries. It is best to look at it dialectically and not to trust external intelligence."
Angel was silent for a moment and nodded.
The general meaning of Earl Black is that the events in the Panic World recorded by the Frost Moon Alliance may not be accurate.

have witnessed.
So, this information may be false?
When Angel was thinking this, Kael suddenly stretched out his hand: "I saw a piece of news about the Panic World in a ruins before, and I don't know if it is true."
Angel: "It doesn't matter if it's true or false, but it doesn't matter if you say it."
Kael nodded and began to tell what he had seen and heard. From his fluent words, it can be seen that he should have been prepared. Perhaps, when Laplace asked Angel to ask his companions for information about the Panic World, he
I have already started to sort out my words.
From this, it can be seen from the side that Kael should be very concerned about this news, and it is probably also a knot in his mind.
"This ruins is actually near the Sandworm Market." Kael: "Sir Red Sword should know that I like to buy cipher pictures. I have also bought several cipher pictures from you."
Doakes nodded. At first, when he saw Kael buying the cipher map, he thought he had a hobby of deciphering codes. Later he found out that Kael simply wanted to see if there was any secret information hidden in the ancient cipher map.
"A few years ago, I found an ancient-looking cipher map at the Sandworm Market. After unlocking the cipher map, I found that it was a guidance map similar to a treasure map."
Doakes: "I seem to remember this. You said at the time that it was a fake treasure map that was deliberately made old?"
Kael nodded: "Indeed, that is a fake treasure map. I found the location based on the map and found that it was just an abandoned cave in the desert, and there were even traces of recent human activities in it."
"My guess is that the person who made the treasure map may have been there before. They simply made it into a cipher map to entice customers to buy it."
And just like that, Kael foolishly took the bait.
"Although it was a cave with human activities, I still searched there. During the search, I actually found a hidden secret room."
"It was a secret room that had never been opened. I didn't know it at the time. I thought someone had already entered the secret room. So, after deciphering the mechanism, I pushed the door open and went in."
"When the outside air enters the secret room, all the colored things inside fade almost instantly."
"The secret room is very small, and the only thing inside is the mural. As a result, due to my carelessness, the mural completely disappeared in a short period of time..."
"However, I still remembered part of the mural before it disappeared."
