Volume Eight Internship Tasks Chapter Twelve Lost Continent
Due to the disappearance of the two students, the return trip of the internship team to Azeroth was delayed for two days, and then on the third day, Gu Yao came back on his own, just alone.
As soon as he returned to the camp, he was summoned by Aubrey, and it happened that Gu Yao also wanted to see him for something.
As soon as he stepped into the guest room, Aubrey said: "Classmate Gu Yao, I hope you can forget what happened that day!"
"What?"
Gu Yao couldn't believe his ears. Han Dan had been kidnapped, and Aubrey not only sat back and ignored it, but even made him forget it.
Gu Yao respected this iron-blooded instructor, but now Aubrey's words made him feel extremely angry, and he raised the question without hesitation: "Why, instructor, do I need a reason? You know, the missing person is
My sister, her whereabouts are unknown now, and you asked me not to pursue this matter!"
Aubrey sighed: "I'm deeply sorry about your sister. It was an accident and no one wanted it to happen. Don't forget, Helianjian was almost disabled because of this, and Sandra even lost her precious baby
life!"
Shandora was the female student who had a date with Helian Jian that night and was sucked by a strange man and died.
"This cannot be a reason!" Gu Yao suppressed his anger and said: "Okay, no matter what the reason is, the academy does not want to pay attention to this matter! But I have to know, where are the demons?"
Hearing this term, Aubrey, who was born as a mercenary and could remain calm no matter what he encountered, suddenly showed a look of panic, looked around, and then said seriously: "Listen. Student Gu Yao, no matter where you got it from
I know, but don’t mention that term again, let alone delve into it, never! Especially in public, remember my advice! Well, by the way, I didn’t hear anything just now, we
The two of us were just chatting about some internship tasks!"
Gu Yao, knowing that he couldn't learn anything from the instructor, exited the room.
Aubrey's warning was almost exactly the same as what Luo Shimei said.
After that, Gu Yao asked Xia Houjin, Carlo, and some other team members. Most of them were at a loss and had never heard of it. Only Dugu Feng seemed to know something, but was unwilling to tell them.
And before leaving with an excuse, he tried his best to persuade Gu Yao to give up the idea of investigating.
It seems that even if I ask other people, there will be no results.
Demon. What kind of magic or secret does this term have that makes both of them fear it like a snake or a scorpion? Even mentioning it seems to bring disaster!
But no matter what, Gu Yao wants to know the answer. It involves Han Dan's whereabouts, life and death, and he will never give up.
Perhaps, there will be relevant information contained somewhere.
When Gu Yao returned to the academy, he went straight to the library.
The vacation is not over yet. In order to take care of some diligent students who are still studying hard in the academy during the summer vacation, the library, training ground and other places of the Holy Academy are still open as usual.
Gu Yao stayed in the library for nearly a week. He arrived every morning as soon as it opened, and didn't go back until it closed in the evening. During this period, he browsed through all the information on mainland legends, history, and World of Warcraft at the speed of one glance and ten lines.
The term "demons" cannot be found in any book.
Could it be that the history is so long that it is only recorded in the ancient documents on the ninth floor?
The old man sweeping the floor, Les, was still diligent in his duties, cleaning the ninth floor meticulously. He was very happy to see Gu Yao: "Classmate Gu Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you participated in the internship during the holiday. Are you back?"
Gu Yao nodded and said: "Yes. Uncle, are you okay?"
"It's not the same!" Les smiled heartily. He seemed to be in good spirits.
"Well, old man, I have to trouble you again. I want to go back to the storage room to read some ancient documents and find some information."
"Haha, no trouble, you can come over anytime."
Les was bored in the deserted ninth floor, and the few students who came here to read books would not chat with him. Gu Yao was the only exception.
After staying in the dark storage room for another three days, the start of the new semester of the college was approaching, and Gu Yao still found nothing.
After flipping through the last ancient Chinese book and walking down the ninth floor, Les said: "Classmate Gu Yao, have you found the information you need?"
Gu Yao shook his head and said disappointedly: "No!"
After thinking for a while, he said again: "Old man, can I ask you a question?"
Les stroked his beard and smiled: "Of course, I hope I can help you."
Gu Yao said slowly: "Demon clan! Have you ever heard of the demon clan?"
Although Les stayed in the library all day, Gu Yao learned from the chat that he was an extremely knowledgeable person, so he asked by the way with luck.
The innocent smile faded, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Classmate Gu Yao, this is a very inappropriate question."
Gu Yao had already expected the old man's reaction from the previous questions, so he said: "I know, but this matter is related to my sister's life and death! I'm sorry, old man, I was presumptuous!" After saying this, Gu Yao was about to leave.
"etc!"
Les stopped Gu Yao and said, "Haha, it's hard for you to get the answer from anyone!"
Gu Yao took a deep breath: "It doesn't matter, I will keep checking until I find it."
"Really? Forget it, classmate Gu Yao, I can tell you the information about the demons!"
Gu Yao was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Thank you, old man!"
There was no one else on the ninth floor at this time, but Les still lowered his voice: "Few people have heard of the demon clan, because it is a taboo term across the continent!"
Gu Yao was surprised: "Taboo noun?"
The taboo of the transvestite Clark is limited to his face. It doesn't matter how he makes irresponsible remarks behind his back.
At most, the major forces can only prohibit people from discussing certain things within their jurisdiction.
Who could set such overbearing rules and make a term a continent-wide taboo?
Lesi's words quickly solved Gu Yao's doubts: "Anyone who mentions the demon clan and wants to investigate in depth will be regarded as a heretic and will be arrested and arbitrated by the religious inquisition in various places!"
Temple! Spokesperson of God! No wonder it can formulate continent-wide rules!
Speaking of the Temple, the first thing people think of is the City in the Sky, but in the human world under the sky, the Temple still has a powerful force, which is directly reflected in the Inquisition.
The Inquisition is a religious institution composed of clergy such as priests, priests, and warriors loyal to the God of Light and the Temple. It is distributed throughout the continent, including various large and small forces.
No force dares to bring the Inquisition into its own management, even if it is within its jurisdiction. At the same time, the Inquisition exists independently and will not interfere in the politics, economy, wars, and conflicts of the forces. They only promote doctrines.
Maintain the dignity and prestige of God and the temple, and at the same time eradicate blasphemous cult organizations and heretics.
One of the ways for those heretics to judge is taboo nouns. For example, the cult "Ai Tian Jiao" that is now known to the whole continent and the focus of the Inquisition to eradicate is one of the taboo nouns, an A-level taboo. This is a highly taboo.
It's best not to discuss it if it's okay, let alone discuss it in depth. Otherwise, you may be treated as a heretic.
The vast majority of people on the mainland have an extremely strong belief in the God of Light. They will actively cooperate with the Inquisition and report any heretics they find.
However, even if it is designated as a level A taboo, the Anti-Tian Sect is still known to almost everyone in the continent, and Gu Yao has also heard about it. At least he could occasionally hear it from the mouths of drunkards while drinking.
"Demon clan" is very rare, but its taboo level seems to exceed that of the Aitian Sect. Even just mentioning this term without in-depth discussion will cause disaster, causing Luo Shimei, Aubrey and others to
To put it bluntly, this seems to be the legendary S-level, the highest level of taboo noun.
No wonder Luo Shimei, Aubrey and others solemnly warned them, they turned out to have good intentions.
In this way, what Les and I are talking about now is an extremely dangerous topic!
Les confirmed Gu Yao's suspicion: "Demon is an S-level taboo term, but my old bones are half buried in the ground and I have no children or relatives. I might as well tell you about it. Haha."
Gu Yao solemnly said: "Old man, don't worry. I swear, I will never tell anyone what happened today!"
"Well, okay, I will tell you something about the demons. First of all, we have to talk about it from a historical perspective. A long time ago, it can be traced back to the ancient times. The continent at that time was much wider than it is now.
Much, the area is probably about twice that of today!”
Gu Yao was greatly surprised. The current continent is half smaller than before. Where is the other half? Has it shrunk in the vicissitudes of life?
"The continent in ancient times was composed of two continents." Les continued: "One of them is the Kadi continent we see today, where humans live! And the other one is called Ole continent."
Lust paused for a moment, then said: "And the demons are the rulers of Ole Continent!"
Les's words gave Gu Yao a shock that he couldn't adapt to for a short time. A long time ago, besides humans, there were other creatures that ruled this continent!
He, including almost everyone in the world, probably thinks that humans are the absolute masters of this world from ancient times to the present.
"Demons are a powerful species. They are even far more powerful than humans! They walk upright, communicate through language, and are highly intelligent. Their appearance is basically the same as that of humans, except that their eyes are red, which is something humans don't have.
Color. In addition, demons are born with extremely powerful bodies and strength. The strength ratio between demons and ordinary human beings is about three to one!"
Gu Yao struggled to convince himself to accept the facts: "Then, why did such a powerful species become extinct from the world?"
"It's not extinction, it's disappearance!"
Les said slowly: "The demons are very powerful, but they are violent, rude, and despise weak humans. They want to be the ruler of the entire continent and trample all creatures under their feet as slaves. They do have that ability. It's a pity.
What happened was that the ambition of the demons angered the God of Light, so the god used his heavenly power to seal the demons into an unknown space. The Ole Continent also disappeared along with the demons. Later, people became more accustomed to keeping the demons in the unknown space.
Lai Continent is called the Lost Continent, which means a place abandoned by God. Later, this word became an S-level taboo along with the demons and was forcibly forgotten!"
This is a piece of history that has been lost in the long history, but when Les told it, it still had a huge impact on Gu Yao.
"Old man, do all demons have bat-like wings?"
Les shook his head and said: "No, it is limited to the strong ones among the demons. The demons have strong bodies, and their bodies can even evolve into higher-level individuals. With each evolution, their power will also increase greatly.
.The demons with bat wings are already very comprehensively evolved individuals!"
The person who took away Dandan was a powerful demon!
"One last question, old man, do you know where the Lost Continent is?"
"Sorry, I can't do anything about this. There may be very few people on the mainland who know its true location, or no one at all!"
"Okay, old man." Gu Yao nodded and said: "Thank you sincerely for your answer. I will remember my oath and never leak the content of our conversation! So, let's say goodbye!" After that, he walked towards the stairs.
Go.
Les said from behind: "Classmate Gu Yao, will you continue to investigate?"
Gu Yao turned his head and said in a calm but firm tone: "I think I will, until I find the lost continent and my sister!"
Since the demons can go from the Lost Continent to the Kadi Continent, then naturally they can also go to the Lost Continent from the Kadi Continent.
From this day on, what he has to do is not just to become stronger and gain the respect of others, but also has an additional goal - to find the place abandoned by God!
