Chapter 506: Prophecy Scroll
“Perhaps it’s time to dig out the things from the Mensis School and take a look.”
Daisy turned to look at the elders of the Contract Scholars’ faction, I guess I subconsciously wanted to ask those people for their opinions.
But there was no reaction from the contract scholars. They all looked up at the golden tree sculpture in confusion and murmured.
“Are there no one else in the upper echelons of your church except the old man and the little girl?” Milo muttered.
Dillashaw immediately became unhappy: "Hey, am I an old man or a girl?"
As he spoke, he took out a crumpled animal skin scroll from his robe and handed it to Daisy's hand, saying : "It just so happened that the people in the contract organization didn't respond. I have already found out the things left by the Mensis faction. The old guys denounced Mensis as a cult, but the things they studied in private are actually no different."
As a church official who has always mentioned that the church does the dirty work, Dillashaw is most aware of the ugliness hidden under the church’s glamorous robes.
For example, the pale blood was separated from the old divine blood and abandoned as early as the first generation. In fact, to this day, the contract organization continues to study blood, whether it is divine blood or pale blood. .
That’s why members of every generation of the Cainhurst people “visit” Nanwei City.
Their mission is to provide the source of pale blood.
As a deacon, Dillashaw personally took over the matter, including wiping the butts of these dirty vampires and transporting the bodies of homeless people who had been sucked dry of their blood. To bury.
Every time Dillashaw mentioned this matter, he entered the chattering mode:
"Who would have thought that the servant of God would have to find food for the vampires? To be honest..."
"Oh, yes, yes, I've wronged you. I've wronged you." Milo interrupted Dillashaw's spellcasting very skillfully and snatched the scroll from his hand.
...
The scroll left by the Monsis School is a fragment. The corners are basically missing, and a part of it seems to have been burned. From the outside, it looks like it is quite old, at least ten years old. Several churches are that old.
The records in the scroll are written in an ancient script with an obvious dotted hieroglyphic style. This is a common method used by contract scholars. Even if the content recorded is modern, ancient script must be used as a carrier, except In addition to preventing the records from falling into the hands of others and causing leakage, it may be more to show one's professional skills.
As Dillashaw said, although the Monsis School has long since parted ways with the Contract Organization, in fact, the projects that the earliest scholars of the Monsis School were dedicated to research were later They were all picked up by the contract organization, and the research on the Pale Blood is only a small part of it. There are also many unknown researches hidden in the dark corners of this building complex, such as the one who was locked up and injected with various nutrients. Ethan Field...
The Monsis were expelled, but their academic research remained.
Including the language about the end of the world that everyone in this school believes, and even the terms of disasters and apostles of disasters spoken by church clergy today are inherited from the documents left by the Monsis school. of.
Those lost people, dependents, descendants of ancient priests, etc., are all identified as apostles of disaster. Any one of them may be the cause of disaster in the end of the world.
So it happened that on the eve of the hunting night, the hunter organization organized by Raven and the church deacons were working on the same thing.
......
The Monsis fragment that Dillashaw obtained records the end of the world prophecies that have been circulated within the school for a long time.
What surprised Milo slightly was that the Monsis School's apocalyptic prophecies were not vague general statements, but had very detailed records. Even if you don't count the missing parts of the scroll, just what Milo had in hand was This fragment also contains at least hundreds of hieroglyphics.
And what makes people secretly feel chills running down their spines the most.
This is the first sentence on the scroll made of animal skin. When translated, it means -
"Weird claw marks appear and when the old world falls into chaos, even the contract organization There is no way to survive. By then, chaos will erode the human heart, and only the eye of thinking will remain.”
…
After reading this passage, Milo glanced thoughtfully at everyone in the great church. With the Abyss Rift as the center, all the surrounding church personnel were deeply confused. Not surprisingly, their minds had become a breeding ground for arthropod insects.
In such a huge temple, only the Thinking Eye and her followers are still awake.
“Is it so accurate?”
Milo frowned.
Weird claw marks, chaos, contract organizations...
All elements gathered together, and it became clear that only the thinking eye was immune to the erosion of chaos.
“No wonder Monsis and the Church are desperately trying to control the Eye of Thinking.”
Milo thought for a while, wasn’t it the beginning of all this that Raven tempted Robben to dig into? Follow Daisy's eyes? The shadow of Mensis had already shrouded the sky over Nanwei City since that time.
It is not difficult to speculate that the Eye of Thinking has no direct relationship with the Golden Tree and the Church. It should be something that exists independently. It is definitely not like the Thinking Eye mentioned by the Knights of the Dreamland. The eye belongs to the Temple of the Golden Law.
Otherwise, Dillashaw's service to the Eye of Thinking would be no different from his belief in the Golden Tree, and then he should start to have worms in his head right now.
Milo glanced at Dillashaw.
The latter was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me?"
"It's okay."
He lowered his head and continued to read the content on the scroll.
The "chaos" mentioned in the scroll is actually a free translation. The original meaning of the hieroglyph is something that cannot be touched or looked directly at. It is not bad to find the font representing "chaos" in ancient hieroglyphs. However, "Abyss" is a geographical structure that exists in the real world, so there are ancient words on the scroll that clearly refer to the abyss.
In short, this scroll was written by contemporary people using ancient characters, so it is not difficult to understand.
There is a high probability that it was a thing invented by Tutis Crowe.
Because Milo has seen that guy in the abyss, he understands the abyss better than anyone else, and he can even "send" people into the abyss.
…
"This guy is only responsible for telling the details of the disaster, but doesn't he provide any ideas for solving the problem?"
Milo read through all the text on the front and back of the scroll, and the full text of the fragment was reflected. What is mentioned repeatedly is the "Thinking Eye", but it is obvious that when writing this prophecy, the author did not know what the Thinking Eye was, let alone that it would have a human carrier. He only mentioned that in the near future , the dull eyes of human beings will be blinded, and only the eye of thinking can see the truth behind the chaos, thereby finding room to save everything.
What is annoying is that the more critical and important content in the second half of this scroll has been cut off.
While Milo was flipping over and over trying to find clues that could be used from the scroll, Daisy suddenly tugged at the corner of his windbreaker and asked in confusion:
"Is that your friend?"
"Huh?"
Milo looked up and found that it was a Wendigo. At first, this guy was too timid to come in, but he climbed in again at some point and was using his mouth. The long-grown teeth gnaw on the abyss cracks suspended on the surface.
