In any case, Kant Ling had to go there, and Gao Wen had to go there in person.

The system of the Ansu Kingdom is loose, and the royal family protects remote areas as low as their dominance. Moreover, the military and military families with strong combat effectiveness will gradually decline in this environment. Therefore, Gao Wen, who is in the extreme southern border, is almost impossible for him to rely on any support from a third party (this environment is probably one of the reasons why cultists can erode this area). Unable to wait for support is just one of the factors that Gao Wen decided to be self-conscious, and the other reason is that he saw something in the "dream".

He mentioned to Hetty and Pittman that the Sleeper left a kind of evil thing in Kant's Castle, but he did not explain what the "evil thing" was, but in fact, he had seen that thing and recognized it.

The thing is located in front of the ornate stone hall in the center of the underground hall. It is placed on a small altar like a "holy object" that is worshipped. It is an exquisite magic lantern. More than 700 years ago, Gowen Cecil gave it as a gift to Selena Gerfen, who was the military priest in the Trail Blazers at the time.

She was once a gentle and quiet lady, a dream goddess who was deeply trusted by the pioneers and used dreams to heal the trauma of countless warriors in the age of darkness and panic. Her devout faith and outstanding contribution made her become the dream bishop of the Northern Pioneer Army under the age of thirty. If fate did not make a bad joke, she might even become one of the candidates for the Pope of the Dream Church and become a famous pioneer hero like Gowen Cecil.

But in that mysterious ritual that tried to communicate with the gods, she followed the Pope of the Dream Church at that time to go to the Peak of the Ancestors. No one knew what happened at that ceremony and the meetings held later. Gao Wen only knew that after that day of fate, several sects including the Druids, the Dream Church, and the Storm God Church became enemies of human society.

There was no publicly announced break or debate in religious ceremonies. Several sects rushed out of the venue of the Ancestor Peak as if they were mad at the same time. Then the believers distributed throughout the continent seemed to have received some command and left their churches and assembly rooms at the same time. A huge invisible web of mind seemed to have enveloped the members of every dark sect from that day. In just a few days, several major churches fell one after another and disappeared completely before the eyes of the world.

Since the entire ancestor peak was blocked by armed priests from the Church of Holy Light and the Church of the God of War at that time, no one knew what the truth was that day. After that, the spokespersons of the major gods explained that "a small number of extreme churches could not accept the conditions for peaceful coexistence with other beliefs, so they chose to defect." However, in Gowen Cecil and in Gowen's minds in the future, he always had doubts about this explanation.

As for Selena Gerfen, she has never appeared since that day. She used dreams to soothe the pain of the warriors, and was trusted by the pioneers, disappeared. She might have rushed into the wasteland of Gondor like a part of the fallen druid, or she might have become a more distorted and darker existence. Gao Wen didn't know what the final outcome of the old friend was. He only knew that today seven hundred years later, a relic of Selena Gerfen appeared here and was placed in the ancient castle of the Kant family as the core of a certain evil sacrifice ceremony.

He thought he needed to recycle that thing, which might help him figure out what happened on the Ancestor Peak seven hundred years ago, or at least what changes the first group of priests had undergone when they fell into cultists.

The evil forces that grew and transformed in Kant Castle have not yet entered their full state. According to the progress sensed in the dream, Gao Wen can slowly prepare to arrange for himself a chance to enter Kant Castle without arousing the vigilance and suspicion of Victor Victor Kant. He does not intend to invade in full armed force, but will find an opportunity to stop it before the incident breaks out.

It is very troublesome and noticeable for a duke to visit a viscount, but it is not so complicated for a duke who currently has only a name and is essentially a pioneer lord to visit the "neighbor". Gao Wen knew that a large part of the food and herbs produced by Kant would be sent to Tanzan town, and then was bought back by Cecil. Not long ago, Cecil also purchased a batch of slaves from Tanzan town (they were regular slaves sold by slave traders). This means that the two territories actually had a lot of trade exchanges, which was a reason for visiting.

He prepared a set of rhetoric and told Heti to do it: "Send a messenger and say I will visit and discuss the issue of purchasing grain and medicinal materials in the coming year. Cecil understands a lot of purchases of goods. These things are not only rising prices, but also delaying the effort. We can establish a new trade route between Cecil and Kant. Anyway, we are also preparing to develop the north bank of the Baishui River. This matter is worth talking to him."

Hetty nodded: "I understand."

After arranging this, Gao Wen rubbed his eyebrows and focused on another thing.

"Have you two heard of the 'Eternal Dark Sea'?"

Hetty and Pitman were stunned and looked at each other.

When Gao Wen saw the expressions of the two of them, his heart suddenly sank: It seems that he is not very much in his hopes.

Hetty was a wizard who had received orthodox aristocratic education and had ordered a lot of occult knowledge. He should be considered an expert in orthodox history and natural knowledge. Pittman had received social education and had ordered a lot of funny people who cheated and deceived knowledge. He was also considered an expert in unofficial history anecdotes and bluffing stories. The knowledge of these two people complemented each other, and they were almost a different version of Zhihu. If both of them had never heard of the "Eternal Dark Sea" at all, he probably wouldn't have found out about this in the field of knowledge of normal people.

"This sounds like a noun that superstitious sailors would make up," Hetty frowned and guessed, "The ocean is shrouded in magic vortexes and storms all year round, and almost no ship dares to challenge the deep sea. Occasionally, bold adventurers go out to sea to find waterways, and few people come back alive. Over time, sailors fabricated various superstitious stories about the ocean, and gave all kinds of names to the strange seas that those adventurers who have returned from madness... Ancestor, where did you hear this name?"

"It is also from the memory of the cultists of the Eternal Sleeper," Gowan did not hide it in this regard, and then looked at Pitman, "You seem to have something to say?"

Although the old druid was confused when he first heard the words "Eternal Dark Sea", he gradually showed a thoughtful look when Hetty told the superstitious stories of those sailors. So Gao Wen asked him curiously.

"Yes, sir, if you are interested in some unofficial history talks, I can tell you the stories that are circulated among the people and cannot be on the table," Pittman nodded. "I have indeed heard of the 'Eternal Dark Sea', but it is not a word created by humans. In fact, it originated from the silver elves, and it is a story circulated among the elves, so I didn't remember it at once."

"The unofficial history of the silver elves?" Gao Wen was surprised. He did not expect that the "Eternal Dark Sea" mentioned by a cult of Eternal Sleeper was actually a word derived from the silver elves. "Will those super-living long ears spread this kind of thing?"

"The silver elves living in the southern part of the continent established the oldest civilized society on this land, tens of thousands of years before humans rose in the central part of the continent. Now, although the original elves empire has been lost in history, the new silver empire has inherited many historical documents from the ancient elves empire. However, due to the age of being too ancient and the various elemental creatures active in ancient times, strange beasts can easily mix with myths and legends, so those historical documents also have a lot of mistakes and misrepresentations. It is normal for them to evolve into unofficial historical stories. After all, elves are just ordinary species," Pittman laughed, "And about the Eternal Dark Sea, it is the most bizarre of various elves legends."

Then he cleared his throat and continued, "Ahem. In the legend about the Eternal Dark Sea, the elves talked about the origin of their clan. It is said that there were no silver elves, no gray elves, dark elves and other various elves subspecies in the world. There was only one kind of "primary elves" who were born with powerful power and immortal and immortal, living on another distant continent.

"One day in ancient times, a disaster occurred in that continent, so a group of primitive elves fled their ancestors' continent in the "Ark" that could float and gallop over the sea. These elves encountered a trek on the endless sea covered by fog and magic vortexes, and after half a month of trek, suddenly broke into a sea area that is always in the dark and always shrouded by stars. In the center of that sea area, an extremely magnificent and extremely tall tower stands. The tower has a mountain-like figure, and its top is straight into the starry sky.

"The primitive elves on the trek were touched by the giant tower and the starry sky, so they prayed devoutly under the starlight, hoping to find a new place of rebirth. Their prayers were actually conveyed to the ears of the gods among the stars through the giant tower, so the starlight descended to bless them, and the giant tower opened the door and allowed the primitive elves to step into it.

"All the primitive elves walked into the tower. They saw endless wonderful things in the tower, including the projection of the universe and the evolution of various animals, minerals and plants in the world. They realized that the tower contained in the incredible knowledge, so they became greedy and were no longer satisfied with temporarily avoiding the wind and waves on the outer layer of the tower, but tried to enter the inner and upper layers of the tower to touch the knowledge.

"Then the giant tower lowered the punishment, and a kind of brilliance filled the entire tower. The primitive elves who tried to steal knowledge were shrouded in the light. According to the degree of their invasion, they were transformed into life forms in the light and turned into dark elves who feared the sun, short gray elves, sea elves who could not leave the water for a long time, and silver elves with the least defects. Because the Silver elves' tribe feared the power of the tower, they did not step into the forbidden area too much, so they received the least punishment.

In this way, the immortal and powerful primitive elves became subspecies with various defects. These subspecies escaped from the giant tower in horror, returned to their ark, and left the mysterious land where they called the "Eternal Dark Sea" and was forever shrouded by night and starry sky. And they drifted to the current continent of Loren. It was after that."
