I don't know whether it was because everyone had a good attitude in admitting their mistake, or because the old man with his white robe and exquisite embroidery was not prepared to punish them, but the incident passed quickly.

Then, they saw this old man in white robes, who was obviously superior in status, leading everyone to the tower where the psychic suppressor was installed, and then he personally stepped forward to carefully inspect the machine.

The old man checked very carefully, almost every inch. Although it was a waste of time, the other people in white robes who were waiting around him did not dare to say anything. They all stood there obediently, not even saying a word.

Dare to say it.

About an hour later, the old man stood up, his face extremely serious, and said in a deep voice: "The intruder last night touched this artifact."

"What? Have you touched this artifact?" Everyone looked panicked when they heard this.

They know very well that the reason why they can live relatively safely on this island is entirely because these artifacts protect them.

There were more than twenty of these artifacts at the beginning. With the help of these artifacts, their ancestors could easily drive away the powerful monsters on the island, and even go out to sea to fish, which is simply unimaginable to the Yam people today.

matter.

However, some madmen among their ancestors actually started to dismantle these artifacts in an attempt to grasp the power of the artifacts. What is even more incredible is that others did not stop them.

It wasn't until more than a dozen artifacts were disassembled and the artifact's protective area was reduced to half of the island. However, the disassembled artifacts could no longer be assembled, and they realized how big of a mistake they had made.

After experiencing this incident, the Yam people established very strict systems and laws to protect the remaining artifacts, lest the artifacts occur again and reduce the space they can live in.

However, any strict law will become looser over time, and after the law to protect artifacts has been peaceful for many years, most people are not aware that there is such a law.

Because the protection of the artifact was slack, a team of combat priests that was supposed to be arranged for the third time at the Stone Tower did not come. In addition, it was a blood moon night, and the yellow-robed priests had to go out for inspection, and only a few bodies showed up.

The mutated Yam scholars volunteered to read in the stone tower all night long, allowing the intruders to easily enter this important place and tamper with the artifacts that were considered taboo.

Everyone's minds immediately recalled what they had read in the book about that time, and their faces immediately became extremely ugly, and they were filled with worry and anger.

"The artifact has been compromised, so what's the protected area of ​​the artifact now..." Someone couldn't help but ask the leader of the white-robed old man.

"Don't be nervous. Although the artifact has been touched, the intruder's movements were very careful and skillful, and did not cause any harm to the artifact." As he spoke, the old man squatted down and checked the psychic suppressor again.

, and then said with great certainty: "The intruder knows the artifact very well, at least better than most of us, and he also knows some things that we don't know."

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that the artifact was intact. However, after hearing the introduction of the old man in white robe, some people subconsciously asked under the influence of curiosity: "What is it that we don't know? Is there anything else that we don't know about?"

Things you know.”

"Of course there is, just like this." The old man in white robe almost did the same action as Leo last night, and saw a hole opened in the suppressor, revealing the original recorder inside.

Seeing this operation, everyone immediately went into an uproar. Although they didn't know what the original recorder was used for, they were sure that this method of opening the hole was not found on any page of the holy book, as the old man in white robe said

That way, the intruder really knows something they don't know.

"How is this possible?" Although the facts were before their eyes, most people still couldn't believe it. One of them couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart, saying: "The Holy Scripture has always been in our hands. There is no such thing in this world.

People can understand how to use artifacts better than we do. Even if we discover new control methods, it will only be us..."

"What do you mean by this?" An old man who was also wearing a white robe with red threads on his sleeves and collar interrupted his colleagues and said with a cold face: "Are you suspecting that the intruders are us who protect the Holy Scriptures?

What did he do?"

As his words fell, several other old men wearing the same white robes gathered around and stared angrily at the person who said the wrong thing.

Although he knew that he had said something wrong, the man did not intend to apologize. Instead, he stood firm and said, "I didn't say that. You admitted it yourself." After that, without waiting for the other person to refute, he said to others

Said: "Don't you think there is such a possibility at all? You know how to operate the artifact, and you also created a new method of operating the artifact. You also chose an extremely accurate time to invade the stone tower, and left before the yellow-robed priest came back.

.Everyone think about it, is this intruder an outsider? Or is there an insider among us?"

After hearing these words, not only the other people who remained neutral showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, but also those who were suspected had thoughtful expressions on their faces, and looked at each other in their eyes.

There was also a little more suspicion.

"It is indeed possible that he is one of our people." The old man in white robe as the leader seemed to support the theory of the traitor, but he quickly changed the topic and said: "However, we still cannot rule out outsiders. We are indeed the ones who know the most about the artifact.

The holy scriptures that control the artifacts are in our hands, but don’t forget that there are some people who also know the scriptures and artifacts very well, even better than us.”

Someone quickly guessed the persistence in the old man's words and echoed: "You mean the descendants of those people back then?"

The old man nodded and said: "Compared to us who only operated the artifact through a part of the deciphered content of the holy scripture, those blasphemers completely dismantled more than a dozen artifacts back then, and their understanding of the artifact was also deep inside, which is far from us.

Comparable.”

"But weren't all those people executed and their books destroyed back then?" Someone immediately said in confusion.

Someone said in a deep voice: "That's true, but who can be sure that no fish slipped through the net back then? You must know that those people had secretly contacted the Black Order over there in advance, and maybe they were destroyed by the sages.

Before those things, they had already passed on the knowledge they gained after dismantling the artifact."

As this sentence was spoken, everyone's thoughts seemed to be opened. Various speculations came out of their mouths, and even each other filled up the loopholes in their speculations. Soon, a speculation that was completely different from the facts was revealed.

The piecing together is complete.

According to their speculation, the invasion of the stone tower and playing with the artifact last night was something that had been planned for a long time, so the timing was just right, and the people who did these things could only be the black-clothed priests in the Black City, because those who demolished it back then

The descendants of the sinner who unlocked the artifact now live in the Black City.

Although the leader of the white-robed old man still had some doubts in his heart, he agreed with everyone's guesses.

But some people still expressed some doubts about this kind of guess that everyone put together and justified, saying: "But why would they do such a thing? And they chose the blood moon period that is very important to them. You must know the relationship between us.

Not long after the situation eased, they..."

"The so-called relaxation is just to make us relax our vigilance," before the person finished speaking, someone else retorted: "They deliberately pretended to be reconciled with us, otherwise, we would not be so relaxed here.

They just wait for us to relax so that they can take action, and only in this way will they encounter the smallest obstacles."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, believing that the previous actions taken by Black City to ease relations were paving the way for last night's action.

The person who made the rebuttal looked at his colleagues and said: "As for why, I think it has something to do with the things stored inside the artifact?"

"What's inside the artifact?" Everyone looked puzzled.

The man immediately pointed to the opening that had not been closed and said, "Don't you think there should be something in there?"

After hearing these words, everyone's eyes fell on the opening of the psychic suppressor, and their faces became extremely ugly. Apparently they had believed the speculation made by their companions, thinking that there must be something inside such a large internal space.

Got something.

If Leo were here, he would definitely be amused. He knows very well that the reason why the original record storage point leaves such a large space is entirely for future upgrades. Almost all unique items produced on the earth will reserve a large amount of space.

Upgrading space to upgrade these items in the future is also a unique business model of the Earth Federation.

Nowadays, people mistakenly believe that the upgrade space created under this business model has something hidden in it, and then draw a conclusion that is far from the truth. It is really too presumptuous.

However, this conclusion is now in line with the thoughts of most people present. They immediately expressed their indignation towards the people in the Black City. Some even clamored to organize people to attack the Black City, completely forgetting that they had been

They were all suppressed to death by the Black City.

"Okay!" The leader of the white-robed old man stopped everyone from continuing to make trouble. He turned around and closed the opening on the suppressor again. Then he thought for a moment and said: "Don't jump to conclusions about this matter so quickly. Let's send people there first.

Black City, question the Black Order and test their reaction." As he spoke, he turned to look at the white-robed priest who had been very active just now and said, "Hank, since you discovered this matter.

, I’ll leave the matter of my mission to Black City to you.”

"Ah!" The man who was so proud just now was stunned when he heard this decision, and then he showed a bitter look on his face, looking like he was about to cry without tears. However, although he didn't want to go to the Black City, he still wanted to go to the Black City.

He knew better that it was best to comply with the decision made by the old man in front of him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, so he could only lower his head and said: "Yes, I will follow your instructions."

The old man ignored the man's emotions, and then motioned for everyone to leave, leaving only a few confidants behind and walked to the top of the tower.

After entering the top of the tower, the old man frowned slightly because of his psychic powers, then took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and put them on, looked around, his face became extremely gloomy as he discovered, and his eyes also

Showing strong anger.

The people following the old man also took out their eyes and put them on, scanning the surroundings. Their expressions were equally gloomy.

"He came here for this." The old man took off his eyes. The anger in his heart made his hands tremble a little. He tried to stuff the eyes into his pocket several times but failed.

"How did he do it?" A man in white robe also took off his eyes and said with some confusion: "There are no signs of fighting here, which means that the intruder's attack was sudden and fatal, and only took the shortest time.

Just destroy that incarnation. Could it be that the chief black-robed priest did such a powerful thing?"

"Impossible, his strength is about the same as mine. Although his strength can still increase a bit due to the blood moon, he is not so strong that he can easily become the incarnation of a murderous god, even if the incarnation of the god is just a seed.

." The old man in white robe shook his head and said, "Besides, the person I saw was not him either."

"You see..." Several people in white robes were stunned, and then they all looked very excited and said: "Sir, why do you use that forbidden power again? Every time you use it, it will do something to your body...

"

"Okay! Stop talking. I know exactly what I am doing. If I don't even use it when the artifact is touched, what's the use of acquiring this ability." The old man in white robe stopped the fuss of several of his men and said,

Then he closed his eyes slightly as if he was remembering something, and said slowly: "The intruder I saw was very strange. He was wrapped in a layer of black mist. I have only seen this phenomenon on dead people."

, and he has a lot of spiritual power, so he should be an apostle of a certain god."

"We can't have apostles of other gods here, unless..." A man in white robe speculated: "Unless he is an outsider."

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too."

Another man in white robe said in confusion: "Since you already know that the intruder is an outsider, why just..."

"Since that little guy Hank performed so well, I naturally have to help him set up a good stage." The old man smiled contemptuously and said: "And we also need an attractive target. In this case, the man hiding in the city

The intruder inside will think that we are going to the Black City. If he is really coming for the incarnation of the gods, he will definitely go to other stone towers and destroy the seeds of the gods. We just need to wait quietly for him to appear.

That’s it.”
