Not long after Carson Sanges left, the banquet started. The guests who were talking around returned to the very large dining table and sat down under the leadership of the attendants. As the host, Gapata held up the

The wine glasses made some remarks, and then they began to enjoy the food on the table. The guests also found some topics to talk about while eating, making the banquet less dull.

Sylvia and Leo's seats were located at the front of the dining table, not far from Gapata's seat. They were seats that only local dignitaries were entitled to sit.

This also made the surrounding guests who did not know Sylvia very curious about their identities. As Sylvia's identity was revealed, she gradually became the center of the banquet, and many people took the initiative to contact her.

Some of it was because of Sylvia's adventures in the wilderness, and more was because of the Dodd Group controlled by Sylvia.

Compared to the popular Sylvia, Leo, who had been silent since the beginning of the banquet, looked very inconspicuous, which made most people think that Leo might just be randomly found by Sylvia.

A person who will accompany you to the banquet. After all, it is always a bit weird to attend a banquet alone.

However, for those who know Leo's identity, Leo's status and importance in their minds are not much worse than Sylvia's, but they can't find a suitable reason or opportunity to have sex with Leo for a while.

touch.

However, someone soon began to try to contact Leo. This person was one of the members of the Lost World Society who had just talked with Sylvia. He didn't look very old, probably in his thirties, and had

His obvious mixed-race characteristics can be easily seen from the attitudes of other people around him. Even though he is a member of the Lost World Society, not many people are willing to make friends with him.

The man stood up directly, walked to Leo, and then motioned to the people next to Leo to give up their seats.

This behavior was considered extremely rude by others. The person who was asked to give up his seat also felt that he was offended and was about to get angry, but was stopped by his companion next to him.

He whispered something and gestured to the members of the Lost World Society who were talking to others not far away.

The man immediately became concerned and remained silent for a while. After suppressing his anger, he stood up and silently moved away.

Although this episode did not attract the attention of others at the banquet, in Leo's eyes, it contained another meaning, that is, the Foreign News Society is probably no longer just an organization that studies various academics and spreads various knowledge.

It is a loose organization based on the main body, but a power organization that has begun to develop towards secular power, and it should have established a lot of power in the wilderness tribe. Otherwise, there would not be a mixed tribesman because of a strange news.

Because of his status as a society, he was scrupulous about it by a tribal dignitary.

"Mr. Leo, my name is Tuckers." After the man sat down, he introduced himself directly to Leo: "I am now a clerical bachelor of the Lost World Society. I once studied under Rembrandt and also

I once heard him mention you."

Leo didn't care that the other party mentioned Rembrandt, because he couldn't confirm this kind of thing at all, and there was no need to confirm it, because whether he studied with Rembrandt had no influence on him, even if it was Rembrandt.

It is also impossible for Mr. Brown's students or relatives to have any influence on his mentality and thoughts.

Compared to learning this matter from old man Rembrandt, Leo was more interested in another thing revealed in his mouth, and said: "Bachelor of Clergy? Have members of the Society of Strange Stories also begun to have job divisions?

?I remember that all the members of the Lost World Society are equal, and their relationship with each other is that of companions who study and communicate together. There is not even a president or the like. What is going on with this Bachelor of Letters? Is it me?

Is the Lost News Society that we knew before fake, or does the Lost News Society in the Mosan Wasteland have another set of rules?"

Tuckers did not show any timidity or shrinkage because of Leo's questioning. Instead, he raised his head slightly and said: "The times have changed, and the rules of the past are no longer suitable for the current era. Don't you think so? If

If it is really still operating according to the rules of the past era, then there should not be an industrial monster like the Dodd Group that is as big as a country on the Moissan continent."

Leo did not comment on this answer, but went straight to the topic and asked: "Then what purpose is the now-changed Lost World Society pursuing?"

"Let the world return to civilization." Tuckers said very proudly.

"Civilization?" Leo smiled disdainfully, as if he had heard a joke, and said, "So what is civilization? And who defines what is civilization? Is there a Society for Ignorance?"

"No one can define civilization, including us." Tuckers responded very eloquently and quickly. After answering, he seemed to feel that the answer was not enough to express his thoughts, and continued to add: "But in this world

No one is more qualified than us to define civilization."

After hearing the other party's somewhat contradictory answer, Leo smiled again, but this time it was no longer disdain and contempt, just a smile.

"Is there something wrong with you taking the initiative to talk to me?" Leo seemed to not want to beat around the bush and asked directly.

Tuckers thought for a while and said: "I came to contact you to ask you what you saw and what you experienced in the ruins in Badisha Mine not long ago?" As he said, he paused.

, and as if he was worried that he was not convincing enough, he added: "We have been looking for the whereabouts of old Rembrandt. If you find something there, you may be able to help us find him."

"Looking for the whereabouts of old Rembrandt?" Leo turned to look at Tuckers and asked: "After so many years, do you think he is still alive?"

Tuckers replied affirmatively: "Yes, we are pretty sure he is still alive."

Leo could see that the other party was not lying, which also made him realize that the Lost Words Society must have left something on Old Rembrandt's body back then. That thing could respond to Old Rembrandt's life and death. Otherwise, the other party would

Wouldn't act so sure.

Leo asked again: "When you were talking to Sylvia just now, didn't she tell you what happened that day?"

"No." While replying, Tuckers also walked around Leo and looked at Sylvia, who was sitting next to him and was talking to a certain tribal dignitary.

"Neither did I." Leo also replied: "We found nothing there. What your people saw later was what we saw."

Tuckers frowned, obviously not believing what Leo said, and said: "Sir Leo, I believe you also hope that old Rembrandt can come back smoothly, you..."

Before Tuckers could finish speaking, Leo interrupted the other party and asked: "I believe what you just said, why can't you believe what I said?"

Tuckers was silent for a moment and did not respond. He just stood up, saluted Leo, and then turned around and returned to his previous seat.

"He is a student of Dutares, and he is the most outstanding student. He became a formal member of the Lost News Society at the age of seventeen." At this time, Sylvia ended her conversation with a certain tribal dignitary.

Turning his head to look at Tuckers who had returned to his seat, he said: "He did study under Rembrandt, but he was very young at the time and was working with Dutares as an apprentice.

Go to the ruins of Badisha and sort out the items excavated from the ruins. I suspect that when the accident occurred at the ruins, he might have been at the scene, but he was just on the ground."

"Dutarez? That one million gold pounds?" Leo didn't care about Tuckers, but was interested in another person and confirmed.

Sylvia nodded and said, "Yes, that's the one million gold pounds."

Leo said with some confusion: "How could his students appear here? The shamans in the wasteland hate him so much?"

Among the information in Leo's memory bank, Dutarez's information is very complete. It can be said that he is the member with the most complete information in the Lost News Society. Not only does he have detailed information on Dutarez's life, but almost everyone in the Velen world has it.

Anyone who relies on bounty money has a detailed profile related to it.

This Dutares is from England and is also a professor of folklore at the National College of England. The reason why he can become a member of the Foreign Hearing Society is not only because he has in-depth research on folklore from all over the world, but also because he is

The academic authority with the deepest research on shamanism in the world of Velen. From the academic perspective of shamanism's teachings and ideas, even the great shamans of shamanism are far from comparable to Dutares.

Although it cannot be said that Dutares initiated the shamanism craze in the Kingdom of England, he was the one who pushed it to its peak.

Dutares believes that the core of shamanism is various mysterious rituals full of original belief meanings, so when he conducted academic research, he restored a large number of abandoned rituals of shamanism in the past, and even created some new ones that were very in line with the mentality of the people at that time.

Rituals, it can be said that nearly half of the shamanic rituals popular in the Kingdom of England at that time came from his academic research.

In some respects, Dutares has indeed popularized the shamanic beliefs of the wasteland tribes among the people in the world of Velen, so that people no longer reject shamanic beliefs due to ignorance, but at the same time, some of his other actions are also destroying the role of shamanism in the world.

The images, such as the shamanistic rituals he restored and created, are full of various unethical behaviors, and some even involve blood sacrifices that are considered heretical.

In the end, something happened with Dutares's academic paper, which involved the British royal family and many dignitaries. As a result, Dutares was deprived of his professor and knight titles, exiled from the Kingdom of England, and continued to be exiled.

At the same time, there was also a bounty on Dutares on the black market, and there were more than one force and person offering bounties. The sum of all the bounties was up to one million pounds, which was the largest bounty for anyone at that time, so he was in the underground world.

It also has a name of one million gold pounds.

However, although he was expelled from various organizations, the Lost World Society did not abandon him, but protected him, so no one has ever completed the black market reward.

In the black market bounty, the shamanism of the wasteland tribe also occupies a part. Although it is not known which tribe this part comes from, the disgust and hatred of the shamanism of the wasteland tribe towards Dutares is generally recognized. Almost everyone thinks that

Dutares would never dare to run into the wilderness, otherwise he would be sacrificed by the shaman.

However, now it seems that the bounty hunters from the outside world have all thought wrong. This place, which is regarded as Dutarez's forbidden area, is actually Dutarez's hiding place, and it seems that he is not the kind of person who hides incognito.

, and even participated in various research and exploration activities of the Lost Society in the wilderness.

"Back then, the Lost World Society paid a high price to protect Dutares, causing the Sacred Shaman Mountain in the wasteland to give up the responsibility for Dutares's blasphemy. Dutares must also use his research to cooperate with shamanism.

Some additions and revisions to the teachings." Sylvia briefly explained and said: "Although many people feel that the price paid is not worth it, no one objects to it. After all, no one can guarantee that everything will go smoothly for them all the time.

, if something happens one day, I also hope to get help from the organization."

Leo asked again: "The Society of Lost Words should have a great influence in the wasteland tribe now. Will it have an impact on you?"

Sylvia shook her head and said: "I don't know yet. Although the relationship between me and the society has broken down, we have not become enemies yet. They will not take the initiative to provoke me." As she said that, she seemed to have thought of something.

He came closer to Leo and asked curiously: "What was your Carson Sanges talking about just now?"

"Do you know Carson Sangers?" Leo asked.

"Of course I know him." Sylvia nodded and said: "Carson Sanges is the name he tells the outside world. His tribe's name is Takuta. In French, it means Everlasting Light. He is the Holy Spirit.

This generation of fire keepers of the Holy Mountain was selected by the Fire Keeper tribe of the mountain. However, as the wasteland tribe split between the north and the south, the Holy Mountain was also divided into North and South. Originally, he should have stayed in the Holy Mountain in the north to continue guarding the fire of the Holy Mountain, but he instead

He decided to come to the Southern Holy Mountain, and separated a flower from the Holy Mountain Fire in the Northern Holy Mountain, and placed it in the Southern Holy Mountain, which became the origin of the Holy Fire here. This incident caused a big fuss among the wilderness tribes at that time, and the fire keepers

The tribe had to re-select a fire keeper to be stationed in the northern sacred mountain. The matter calmed down temporarily, and the fire keeper was divided into the north and the south. However, this incident allowed Carson Sanges to obtain the victory in the southern sacred mountain.

He has gained considerable prestige and power. From a certain perspective, his power and influence in the southern tribal alliance is even greater than that of several great shamans in the Holy Mountain."
