1249: Chapter 215, The Truth_2 1249: Chapter 215, The Truth_2 Now that both “religious pressure” and “secular pressure” can be dealt with, the remaining issues are simply not worth ntioning.
A bit of infamy, to Wizard Nemiah who’s been wanted for years, is certainly no big deal.
“Robert, Nemiah’s point isn’t entirely without rit.
If we can keep this a secret, so be it, but if it leaks, you’ll be the one to carry the can!
Of course, you could consider diverting this disaster eastward and throw the trouble Marshal Hudson’s way.
He’s got the broad shoulders to take it.
Still, this would indeed be a great risk.
If things go south, you might be whisked away by a Dragon dropping from the sky or by so bear as a snack…”
No sooner had the Necromancer finished speaking than he imdiately garnered support from everyone.
It was clear it was a joke, but there was nothing funny about this joke.
Robert, with his great headache, just felt he had made poor choices in friends.
But being the lightning rod or scapegoat wasn’t sothing he was overly concerned about.
A Sanctuary bringing a dozen or so seventh and eighth-order Strongn to excavate ruins, everyone would think he was the leader.
If there were to be a reckoning after autumn, he would be the one with the most enmity drawn.
“Enough, you lot, get back to work!
This ruin in front of us is not simple; from the structure, it appears to be a seal.
A seal that has lasted from Ancient Era till now is definitely not average.
Judging from the current state of affairs, it seems like the seal is on the verge of collapse.
It’s not impossible that the things inside are related to the Cataclysm of ten thousand years.
Hurry and decode the inscriptions preserved in the ruins; magic cannot sustain for long.
If the lake water backflows again, chances are the ruins will be destroyed!”
After Robert finished speaking, the previously joking crowd instantly beca solemn, and even the aura around them changed.
With their state adjusted, the group began to excavate the ruins while taking out magic stones to record relevant discoveries.
They were so adept at it, it was clear they were seasoned culprits.
Hudson, who was watching the excitent from the clouds, couldn’t help but crack a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Clearly, having spent a “great price” to bring these people over to help was the right choice.
As ti ticked by, the faces of those who had completed the excavation of the Underground Palace turned dreadfully grim.
“It seems that the situation is a hundred tis, a thousand tis more severe than what we initially anticipated!
If all these ssages from countless millennia ago record the whole truth, then this world is far too terrifying.
Anyway, my frail body can’t bear it at all.
Even if you add the entire Kingdom to the weight, it wouldn’t hold either!
Now that Divine Spirits are involved, should we keep this ssage hidden forever, or should we tell Marshal Hudson and discuss it together…”
Before Robert could finish speaking, a dragon’s roar resounded through the sky, followed by Hudson’s appearance before everyone.
“Don’t trouble yourselves, I already know about it.
Digging to the bottom of it sotis benefits no one.
The Kingdom needs to accumulate more power in a short ti to prepare for the possibility of this uncertain disaster, instead of recklessly pursuing the truth.
Besides the ssage of the Cataclysm of ten thousand years, I don’t want to hear any rumors spreading!”
Issuing a gag order imdiately, Hudson’s expression was not pleasant.
Who would bla him when he hadn’t noticed these details on his last trip to the Underground Palace?
“The mysterious Cataclysm of ten thousand years” turned out to be a preditated, targeted reaping, with Divine Spirits having played a disgraceful role in it.
This sort of earth-shattering news, if it were to leak, the entire Continent would likely be drawn into a whirlpool of chaos.
Following his train of thought, Hudson suddenly understood why so many powerful Species of the Ancient Era had vanished into the river of history.
The Dragon Race, in their heyday, decisively abandoned their foundations on the Continent of Aslante and relocated to the distant Dragon Island, perhaps this too must be reinterpreted!
Worried about Dragon Slayers?
That’s a tale to fool children!
Do you really think the assembly of powerful mbers of the Dragon Race is made of paper?
Even without considering their background, just the strength of the Giant Dragons alone is not so easily overco.
Dragon Slayers?
No, that is feeding the Dragon Slayers!
Leaving the Continent of Aslante, whether it is possible to avoid this cataclysmic harvest is still uncertain; but one thing is for sure, any race that stays is bound for misfortune.
In this regard, the Elf Race should have so experience.
They have survived several major disasters and continued their racial heritage.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the Human Race and elves is not good.
They are too busy blocking information to share it willingly.
Even if the Elf Race was willing to speak, I’m afraid the countries of the Human Race would not dare to believe it.
“Marshal, do you think the information in the relic is true?”
Wizard Nemiah asked nervously.
If he had known Hudson was watching from the heavens, he wouldn’t have been so talkative and revealed everything he decoded.
It’s too late for regrets now.
Knowing so much that one shouldn’t is extrely dangerous!
Especially since they already have a reputation for courting death, if soone “lets sothing slip,” no one can foresee the consequences.
“I didn’t say anything!
You’re better off not knowing anything!
If you’re curious, you can investigate in secret, but you absolutely must not let any specific information leak out.
If the records in the relic are true, then this world is much broader than we know.
The Human Race, as the failed survivors of another continent’s purge who fortunately escaped to the Continent of Aslante and rose again to beco the dominators of the continent, is already fantastical enough!
However…”
As the words reached his lips, Hudson forcibly swallowed them back.
It’s better not to talk too much about “Divine Spirits,” among other topics.
Whether they are Divine Spirits, Demons, or other terrifying creatures, he isn’t currently qualified to comnt on them.
Don’t provoke what you can’t handle.
At least these high and mighty beings haven’t personally led a grand purge, only sending so monsters over.
While it’s harvesting “crops,” it can also be seen as a test, ultimately leaving a glimr of hope for survival.
During the Ancient Era, many powerful overlords of the continent were born, but only very few could withstand the harvest.
With the current strength of the Human Race, it would be good enough just to survive this calamity.
To revolt and create a new world free of the harvest is purely delusional.
For things you can’t accomplish, the best solution isn’t to force your way through, but to ignore it as much as possible.
Sotis, “ignorance is bliss”!
Glancing at the damaged seal, Hudson turned to instruct the others: “The seal here doesn’t seem to last much longer.
We will all help strengthen the seal for now, and later have the Kingdom Mage Team co over to lay a new one.
Similar places are likely not unique within the kingdom.
When the upcoming disaster erupts, these places can possibly beco key points.
If encountered, report imdiately to the kingdom to be dealt with.
Blocking one is counting one, even if it’s just maintaining peace for one more day, it’s very aningful for the kingdom.
You probably don’t need to elaborate further on the follow-up issues.
Quickly unify your stance and concoct a plausible reason to make the Cataclysm of Ten Thousand Years public!”
From this mont on, the greatest enemy of the Alpha Kingdom is not the declining Orc Empire, but the impending invasion of Extra-dinsional Creatures.
As for the hidden manipulators, they are outright ignored by Hudson.
These are not within the sphere of concern for the Human Race at the mont.
Of course, one cannot be too certain.
As a rising star of the Human Race, Hudson doesn’t really know much about the true strength of his people.
If the legendary heroes from the stories are still alive, perhaps they could even counterattack.
The murals of the masters from all species joining hands to slay a Divine Spirit, and Maxim’s boasting of his ancestors slaying gods, both prove that the Divine Spirits are not invincible!
