"Of course not." Selan shook his head quickly. Although she was a lawless witch who had done some shocking things and was a wanted criminal in the Kingdom of Maris and the Kingdom of Savile, even so, she only dared to admit that she had been in contact with

Nature walkers dare not consider themselves to be nature followers, because admitting this identity is almost equivalent to completely giving up life in the civilized world, and can only go to the wild world in the wilderness of the Moissan continent.

"Okay, this joke is not very funny." Sylvia slapped Leo's arm with some reproach, feeling that her action was a little too intimate, her face turned red, and then she said seriously: "Don't you

Understanding the harsh attitude of the kingdom’s top officials and various churches towards nature walkers, it is no exaggeration to say that even after so many years, the top government officials and churches of various countries have not relaxed at all in arresting nature walkers and their accomplices.”

"Why? Why do you hate nature walkers so much?" Leo couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is it just because of Ms. Teresa's death?"

Selan also looked at Sylvia curiously.

Because the snowstorm overhead showed no sign of ending, and the three of them would stay here for a while, Sylvia also planned to use this topic to pass the time, so she said: "I don't know the specific situation.

Only the church and the Orthodox Church know about this kind of thing, but I heard that this matter involves the gods."

"God again?" Seran frowned. Growing up in the Savile Kingdom, she had witnessed the evil deeds of the Church of the Lord of Creation and Destruction of All Things, and coupled with the internal teachings of the witch group, she really had no understanding of the gods.

Good impression.

"Can you be more specific?" Leo asked.

Sylvia recalled it carefully and said: "The information I checked seems to have mentioned that the Orthodox Church was organizing churches in various countries to conduct a certain ceremony at that time. It is said that as long as that ceremony can be completed, the world will return to the world of gods.

era."

"Isn't this right?" Leo quickly discovered the flaw in Sylvia's argument, frowned, and said: "If we really return to the era when gods appeared, then what will happen to the kings and kings of various countries?

It is definitely not a good thing for the Prime Minister. In that case, the church will inevitably regain control of secular power, and the power in their hands will inevitably be reduced, so they should be very happy that this ceremony was ruined. Even if in order to appease the church, they ordered the arrest of nature

Monk, you should just be pretending, it is absolutely impossible for you to be as strict as you are now after so many years."

"I'm not very clear about this either." Sylvia also looked puzzled.

Seran on the side intervened and guessed: "Could it be that the ceremony that the church is carrying out can actually bring great benefits to the top leaders of various countries?"

Sylvia shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Impossible? What good is there in the world that can compare with the power in the hands of those guys?"

"That's not necessarily true," Leo denied Sylvia's view and said, "What if it is eternal life?"

"Ah?" Sylvia and Selan both looked at Leo blankly, somewhat confused about what Leo meant.

Leo explained: "I mean, what if the church promises the rich and powerful in various countries that after the ceremony is successful, the gods will grant them eternal life?"

"It is indeed possible." Sylvia thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's not right!" Seran sang the opposite tune at this time, saying: "Those high-ranking officials in the kingdom who received the church's promise are already dead, so the arrest of nature walkers by various countries should also end..."

"No, it won't end." Sylvia shook her head and said: "According to the situation at that time, because this arrest ban has become the consensus of the entire civilized world, it is no longer a single country that can

It is impossible for the various churches to lift this ban, let alone the country."

"But compared to whether the ban can be lifted, I would like to know what kind of rituals the church is performing?" Leo asked in a deep voice: "Is there such information in the Orthodox Church?"

"No." Sylvia shook her head without thinking too much and said: "I have said that there is very little information about this matter at that time. Even if there is, it is not something I can see, even though I am an orthodox member of the Church.

The adjudicator, but that is just the product of political games. The Orthodox Tribunal will not really regard me, a witch, as an adjudicator." As she spoke, she paused and said: "However, I think this ceremony should be in conjunction with the special adjudicator.

It’s about Ms. Lisa.”

"Why?" Leo asked.

Sylvia reasoned: "If you think about it, the brutal murder of Ms. Teresa is the first and most important of the crimes of nature walkers announced by the church and various countries, and Ms. Teresa has received so many awards before her.

How honorable and noticed by the gods, so she must be key to the ceremony."

After listening to Sylvia's analysis, Leo did not nod in approval. Instead, he pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "On the contrary, I think Ms. Theresa has nothing to do with the ceremony, or is not the main factor in the ceremony.

.”

"Why?" Not only Sylvia, but also Selan, who was attracted by the topic, looked at him in confusion.

"It's very simple, it's too high-profile!" Leo analyzed: "Ms. Teresa's entire civilized world is too high-profile, as if she is deeply afraid that others will not know about her. She can attract people almost everywhere she goes, whether actively or passively.

A lot of attention, if it is really important to the ceremony, then the church will never let her appear in front of people in such a high profile, because the more people pay attention, the more people will discover the existence of that ceremony. I think that ceremony should be

A secret ceremony!"

Sylvia didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence, but she still retorted. "Perhaps high-profile is also part of the ceremony."

"It's possible," Leo shook his head slightly and said, "But don't forget, Ms. Teresa is just an ordinary person. Do you think such an important ceremony is placed on an ordinary person who appears in front of others in such a high profile?

Is it appropriate? You must know that there must be many people who do not want this ceremony to succeed, such as those cultists and the families of evil gods. Once an accident occurs, how will the Orthodox Church remedy it? And from the records, Ms. Teresa’s death seems to have been caused by torture, and the death process was very complicated.

"Chang, if she is really so important, then why doesn't anyone protect her?"

"Maybe the person who protected her is dead?" Selan couldn't help but speculate.

"If she is really that important, then the person who protects her must be the most powerful clergy in the Orthodox Church and various churches. But after that incident, did any important clergy in the church die inexplicably or disappear? It seems not.

If someone protects her, the person who protects her will definitely take her away from a dangerous place after being attacked, so the place where she died should be outside the correctional facility." Leo refuted Selan's guesses one by one.

, and then expressed his speculation: "In my opinion, the people who killed Ms. Teresa with sadistic methods were probably not nature walkers, but those cultists or the dependents of evil gods who escaped from the punishment facility in chaos. After all, they were still alive.

What sacrifice can be compared with a woman called a saint? Ms. Teresa was just unlucky. She appeared in the wrong place at the wrong time and met the wrong person."

After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia and Selan both frowned and pondered, seeming to be looking for loopholes in Leo's guess.

"Can you be more specific?" Sylvia asked after thinking for a moment.

Leo narrated eloquently: "The Nature Walkers did not go for Ms. Teresa, but for something hidden in the correctional facility. It was just that they accidentally clashed with the people in the correctional facility.

The cultists and evil god dependents who were imprisoned in the correctional center were released. The cultists and evil god dependents who finally escaped became the winners. They not only killed the people in the correctional facility, but also severely injured the nature walkers and forced them to retreat. As for the original

The ordinary people in the punishment center were used as sacrifices and sacrificed to the evil gods."

Sylvia retorted: "Why was it done by cultists and not nature walkers?"

Leo simply explained: "It's very simple, because of the nature walker's previous behavior, even if there is a conflict with the Orthodox Church and the church, he will not take action against ordinary people."

Seran asked in confusion: "Since it was not done by nature walkers, why do governments and churches in various countries issue such bans?"

"Because the main responsibility for this matter lies with the Nature Walkers. If it weren't for them, how could the cultists and the Evil God Families under the Punishment Center escape." Sylvia seemed to accept Leo's statement and answered Seran's question.

road.

And Leo also added in a timely manner: "I'm afraid it's not just because of the main responsibility, but also to divert everyone's attention and cause some people to have misunderstandings."

"What attention?" "What illusion?" Sylvia and Selan asked different questions respectively.

"Of course it's the attention of those with ulterior motives, and the purpose is probably to make those people think that the plan has failed." Leo speculated and explained. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something and asked Sylvia:

"In the documents you have read, is there any record of the location of the correctional facility?"

"Uh..." Sylvia was about to answer Leo's question, but she just opened her mouth, with a trace of confusion on her face, and finally asked in confusion: "No? No information about the Correctional Institution?" As she said, she

Looking at Leo in confusion, he asked: "Why is this happening? I only know it's called the Correctional Institution, but I don't know its location or official name. This is so weird? Why didn't I become suspicious?"

"It seems that my guess is right." Leo stood up from the ground with some excitement, his head almost touching the frozen corpse layer above, his fingers unconsciously tapping the frozen corpse wall next to him, the look on his face showed

He is thinking quickly.

After a while, Leo stopped his unconscious movements, stood there with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "I see, that's it, I didn't expect that we would have a conversation while sitting here today to kill time.

But it solved a mystery that has the greatest impact on the world."

Sylvia was very curious about the mystery mentioned by Leo, but she felt that if Leo wanted to say something, he would naturally say it, so she did not ask.

However, Selan was not so patient and couldn't wait to ask: "Mystery? What mystery?"

Leo looked at the two of them and said, "Do you feel that the whole world has become a little weird over the years?"

"No?" Sylvia and Selan looked at each other and didn't quite understand Leo's words, so they both shook their heads and said.

"The number and activity levels of extraordinary beings." Leo reminded.

After hearing Leo's reminder, Selan had not thought of anything, but Sylvia had already realized the meaning of Leo's words. She quickly recalled the relevant information following Leo's prompts in her mind, and her face changed slightly.

After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Yes, the number of commemorations of extraordinary people has doubled every year recently. These are extraordinary people who have been registered with the government, and those who have not been registered, such as dependents, are probably even more.

"

Leo nodded and prompted: "Do you feel that your power has improved rapidly in recent years, far exceeding that of the previous witches?"

This time Selan also understood. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said: "According to the information, the power I had before can only be possessed after the bloodline is fully awakened, but I had it before the bloodline was fully awakened. I

I thought it was because of my extraordinary talent, could it be related to the mystery you mentioned?"

Leo reminded again: "Of course it's relevant. Don't forget what the plans of the church and governments were for back then."

"The gods have appeared." Sylvia and Selan said at the same time.

"Yes, gods have appeared." Leo nodded and said: "Judging from past data, the era when gods appeared was also the era of extraordinary people. Wizards, witches, families, cultists, paladins, etc. have extraordinary powers.

There are many more people with power than now, and the power is more powerful than now, so our current changes just prove that our world is transforming into an era when gods appear on the earth."

"How is this possible? Didn't the plan back then fail?" Sylvia looked at Leo with great confusion and asked.

Leo smiled and said: "Don't forget, who announced the failure of the plan? The Church. The Nature Walkers never said that they had ruined the Church's plan."

"But why doesn't the Natural Walker explain that he has no plan to destroy the True God Church of the Orthodox Church?" Selan asked in confusion.

Sylvia, who was much more experienced, explained for Leo, saying: "Because no one will believe what they say. Even if the cultists who escaped from the punishment center and the members of the evil god's family testified against them, I'm afraid no one would believe them."

At this point, she paused and said to herself: "If you look at it this way, there are some clues to some of the things I investigated before."
