Chapter 304 The Big Secret
Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum is located northwest of the outskirts of Lundan.
Exit the highway outside the city and turn into a tree-lined trail. Fifty kilometers later, you can see the towering walls of the lunatic asylum. The four-sided watchtower is equipped with night searchlights and has signs indicating a military restricted area. It is extremely tightly guarded.
There are three identity check levels alone. Each level must strictly check the vehicles entering and exiting, such as the trunk and chassis, to eliminate the possibility of patients escaping.
Speaking of which, it is easy for a magician to become a forgotten person. All he needs to do is learn more and break his own balance.
It is difficult to change from a forgotten person to a normal magician.
Therefore, there are more people in Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum than people in and out of, and there are few cases of successful treatment.
Even if he recovers, he will not be accepted by other magicians due to his criminal record, and he can only find a job in the lunatic asylum and continue to stay.
In the past, when the Heavenly Father’s Holy See was at its peak, Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum was an Inquisition affiliated with the Windsor Division. The Holy See had the final say on who was crazy and who was not.
To this day, it is difficult to say whether this unspoken rule remains the same.
One can imagine what Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum represents to a normal magician.
This place is taboo. Receiving a leaflet from the lunatic asylum is more terrifying than a visit from the tax department.
Wayne drove to Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum and saw an old castle surrounded by dense forests. It had eight floors underground and detained a large number of forgotten people who had lost their minds.
Behind the castle, there are a series of wooden villas for doctors, nurses and other staff to live.
Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum is now owned by the Windsor Ministry of Magic. However, due to its unique value, the Lunatic Asylum does not entirely belong to Windsor. Several other churches have the right to appoint attending physicians.
As the dean and a legendary mage, Plank manages this group of golden mages on behalf of Windsor. Today, in order to welcome new colleagues, he held a small meeting to introduce future colleagues to Wayne.
"This is the attending physician Brandon, from the Sun Church..."
"The attending physician Qian Ning, from the Moonlight Church..."
"Head Nurse Lao Rui, a nun from Heavenly Father’s Holy See..."
Plank introduced one by one, and Wayne shook hands continuously. Speaking of which, these can be counted as his own people, but because of the special nature of the red leaf forest, several gold Mages do not participate in the internal affairs of their respective churches.
The previous Sidney was an exception. The Natural Church dominated the Windsor family and maintained good relations with the royal family. In addition, Sidney's teacher, Marshall, the Lord of the Void, had quite a network of contacts in London when he was not crazy.
In short, although the Red Leaf Asylum is not owned by the Windsor Ministry of Magic, it does have the power to dispatch personnel, and Plank can speak loudly here.
The short meeting ended and several golden mages returned to their respective posts. They rarely left the asylum and had little contact with outside intelligence, so they did not know Wayne well.
Take Qian Ning, the chief physician of the Moonlight Church, as an example. Any silver mage with some connections knows that a guy named Wayne slept with the high priest. Qian Ning is a gold mage and does not know about this.
Several others also did not care about Wayne's identity and origin. They only welcomed the arrival of new colleagues, which was very perfunctory and did not even have the idea of exchanging contact information.
Seeing this, Wayne seriously suspected that these people were on the verge of a mental breakdown. They had been exposed to too many Forgotten people and were about to fall into madness themselves.
He glanced at Planck, suspecting that the old boy had tampered with it.
Glank has been studying the Forgotten, and the fallen Golden Mage is undoubtedly the best experimental subject...
"Wayne, Alston borrowed a few patients from me before, After returning, these patients all showed abnormalities. Do you know what research Alston is doing? "
"I don't know. He is the head of the family. He can do whatever he wants without reporting to me. ” Wayne shrugged.
"Forget it, it's not important anyway."
Plank guided him away and took Wayne to the nurse's station on the first floor of the castle. He pointed at one of the little blond girls and said happily: "Oh my God. A nun from the Holy See. According to rumors, she is the illegitimate daughter of a certain bishop. Isn’t it incredible that a little boy can become a bishop?”
After that, he felt happy again.
Wayne was not amused. This hell joke was out of date a long time ago. The devil was too lazy to use little boys to attack the clergy because he couldn't laugh.
“It’s because I don’t fit in with others and I’m afraid of being excluded, so I can only be an illegitimate daughter.”
Wayne complained and then said: "Plank, you said you had a big secret to share, so I came to work in Red Leaf Forest."
If this was the big secret, he could only tell a joke. .
Glank looked at Wayne. His stiff beard and slovenly white coat made him look particularly funny. After putting on a hospital gown, it was not an exaggeration to call him an old lunatic.
At this time, Gangplank's expression was particularly solemn, as if it was time for a showdown: "Wayne, you are already a golden mage. Your power means that you don't need to be afraid of the legendary mage. My ancient silver coins are all In your hands, aren’t you ready to share your secret?”
Plank wanted to know what Wayne saw, what he gained, and whether he could learn from Wayne.
Wayne used to play tricks on him, but he didn't care and never exposed it.
Not now.
Wayne has gained a sense of security. Relatively speaking, his sense of security is getting less and less. Taking advantage of everyone's equal status is the best time to confess to each other.
"Planck, what do you want to know?"
"To be precise, I don't want to know what I should know. I only have an idea, and it is a very vague concept. Balance..."
Planck changed his words to popular language. He was familiar with the great prophet Tubei at the headquarters of the Church of Nature. He was inspired by the great prophet and had a strong interest in the balance of nature.
Also inspired by Tube, he learned that the original Life Alliance had five major beliefs.
These five beliefs together represent life, nature and death are in opposition, light and darkness are in opposition, and they form a whole - life.
The current Life Alliance cannot represent life and lacks opposites. Even if believers practice the three magical arts of faith, it is difficult to obtain a complete life.
Plank practiced a lot of beliefs for this purpose. The more knowledge he mastered, the more ignorant he felt. In order to stabilize his own balance, and because of his strong desire, he began to believe in a little bit of everything.
He is probably the legendary mage with the most confusing beliefs in the Free Mage Alliance.
Planck deeply realized that his road had come to an end. If he continued to learn, his body balance would collapse, and he would become the next Marshall.
Marshall found himself again for unknown reasons. Planck did not think he had such luck, so he stopped studying and placed the possibility of confirming the theory on Wayne.
Nature, sun, moonlight, darkness, death.
Plank has provided all the knowledge related to faith and ancient silver coins. Now it is time to get back the investment income.
Wayne looked strange. Gangplank's knowledge of faith was replaced by the artifact of the God's Chosen Knight. The ancient silver coins were replaced by the obelisk and Orb's ancient silver coins. He had investments but was by no means a sole proprietor, and he couldn't even account for a large share. He suddenly asked for profits... …
It’s not impossible. In the early days, Plank’s ancient silver coins were indeed of great use, helping him successfully pass the Silver Cross stage.
"This is not the place to talk."
Wayne thought for a while and decided to return Planck's profits as a percentage of the investment.
Glank's eyes bloomed with joy, and he quickly led the way forward, taking Wayne to the eighth floor, the most dangerous place in the entire Red Leaf Forest Asylum.
The most dangerous place is the safest place, there's nothing wrong with it.
Furthermore, the eighth level is also the secret he is prepared to exchange.
......
The Red Leaf Forest Castle is eight floors underground. It was designed and built by the former Heavenly Father Church. Priests who were not short of money spent a lot of money to build this wonder.
The space on each floor is extremely wide, like an independent space. Looking up, you can see the sky, the sloping earth and ocean, and the endless starry sky and universe.
Although it is a magical creation, it is so lifelike that it can be mistaken for real.
Moreover, Wayne also smelled different law information in different celestial domes.
He asked curiously: "Plank, was the Red Leaf Forest really built by the Heavenly Father's Holy See?"
"Yes, at that time the Heavenly Father's Holy See swept across the God's Chosen Continent, and God was the Heavenly Father. Father, and only Heavenly Father, what you see are the spoils of Heavenly Father’s Holy See,” Plank murmured.
Just looking at the tip of the iceberg of Hongyelin Lunatic Asylum, one can imagine how glorious the Heavenly Father’s Church once was.
Wayne also thought about it. The Pope was extremely rich, but the Pope only presented a Holy Spear of Heaven and a love pendant to the reincarnated angel. This was really stingy.
A pure passer-by, impartial, this is not the right thing for Huang to do.
Hope it will be corrected as soon as possible!
The two of them went deep into the underground of the castle and quickly reached the lower level through the portal. When they arrived on the sixth floor, the living environment of the patients was not so optimistic.
The gorgeous sky no longer exists, replaced by cold stone walls, narrow vents and scattered magic stones, injecting vitality and faint light into the place, and the heavy and depressing atmosphere is within reach.
A sickly pale light hung in the air, making the silhouettes of shadows deeper around them.
There is no clear black room in the ward. The stone walls are twisted and spread out, symbolizing the twisted mind labyrinth of the forgotten.
There is a damp musty smell everywhere, occasionally accompanied by the palpitating sound of iron chains, and eerie whispers emanating from the depths of the maze. Walking here is a torment every second.
“Starting from the sixth floor, the attending physician can only enter in pairs with my permission. The forgotten people here can no longer be saved. They have strong desires and will devour each other. They are called They are Void Prowlers."
"They use themselves as a source of pollution, dragging the host into chaos through parasitism, devouring each other and merging, becoming even crazier..."
"The prowler's pollution ability is extremely strong, second only to the knowledge of the void and the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast. The silver mage cannot resist their parasitic attack methods. Only the gold mage's life barrier has this qualification."
Plank explained one by one. He studied the Forgotten Ones, and Bonn studied the starry beasts. There was a certain connection between their research, and they often exchanged their experiences, so they became very close.
"Wayne, the magic world calls Forgotten and Prowler beings with the wrong evolution. Bonn and I don't agree. Prowlers still have the possibility of evolving, and they can evolve into starry behemoths."< br>
“This is an evolutionary route with a clear goal. Because of the harsh conditions, no one has discovered it yet, so there are few successful cases, so it is wrongly judged as a failed evolutionary route.”
mentioned According to his own research, Gangplank is more like an old madman, which also strengthens Wayne's idea that the legendary mage is somewhat crazy.
Senna is like this, and so is Philomena. If you have to say something normal, Wayne can only name one.
Saint Anastasia of the Dark Church.
The black-skinned elf has a strong sense of responsibility, is not afraid of sacrifice, sticks to his beliefs and dares to face the bleak life, and has a high moral standard. He is one of the few people who allows Wayne to temporarily avoid the edge.
Mula and Leo, the two chosen knights, are too addicted to cards and are somewhat involved in the most evil gambling drugs, so they cannot compete with the black-skinned elder sister.
Delane is even worse. She is incredibly thick-skinned, which blinds her iceberg face.
The two of them continued to go deeper.
The seventh floor of the Red Leaf Forest Bunker is a dark place, very much like the dark realm shaped by the golden mage's thinking.
Planck explained: "On the sixth level, we allow the prowlers to devour each other, and by studying their changes, we can find the possibility of this evolutionary path." "The seventh level has nothing, it There is only one purpose of existence, to isolate the connection between the sixth floor and the eighth floor."
Plank raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Except for me, the dean, there are no other people on the eighth floor. No one is allowed to enter. Even though I am receiving a salary from the Ministry of Magic, I am actually still in contact with the Papal State, and they have to send me money regularly.”
"Because this lunatic asylum was built by Heavenly Father's Holy See, and their big secret is buried on the eighth floor?"
"The situation is more complicated. It was built by Heavenly Father's Holy See, but it used materials from multiple churches. Belief in magic not only represents the secrets of the Heavenly Father’s Holy See.”
After arriving on the eighth floor, Plank stopped talking about the Riddler and said bluntly: “The Heavenly Father’s Holy See has several people similar to Hong Ye in the God’s Choice Continent. Everywhere in the Inquisition of the Forest Asylum is supervised by legendary mages, not the Forgotten Ones, but the door on the eighth floor."
As Gangplank pointed forward, the gate on the eighth floor. The Big Secret reveals Wayne's true form.
This is a dark gate about a kilometer high, embedded in a dark space. The four sides are tightly closed, and there is no mechanism to open it.
Around the gate, darkness is like thick ink, swallowing up all light and sound. In this boundless darkness, the gate looked extremely tall and heavy, and its surface was covered with scratches, rust, and gnawing marks.
The pitiful appearance of the air leaking out like rotten leaves, as if it would break with a jump, made Wayne feel deeply uncomfortable.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder means that it is very uncomfortable. It is either broken or not broken. It is really annoying to be neither up nor down.
You are broken!
"Planck, what's behind the door?"
"The Forbidden Zone of Skeletons!"
Ganglank said with a solemn expression: "The Land of the Forgotten, also known as the Prison of the Forgotten!"
Wayne raised his eyebrows, where does he seem to be? I have heard of this place name. If I remember correctly, Orston once said that during Orb's rebellion, he imposed a projection barrier on the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, and the projected space was the Prison of the Forgotten.
Wayne has experienced many projection spaces, the inner world of the mirror space, the land of the ancient gods, and the life force field of the legendary mage can also be regarded as a partial projection of the void, each of which is dangerous and abnormal.
Especially the land of the ancient gods, without the divine power of the God's Chosen Knight, no matter how much you go there, it's all for nothing.
In other words, a plane does not have enough strength and foundation to be worthy of being projected to the God's Chosen Continent.
Plank looked at the gate with confidence. This is why he and Bonn firmly believe that the evolutionary path of Forgotten-Prowler-Starry Behemoth is correct. The Skeleton Forbidden Zone is strong enough to be qualified to support an evolutionary path. road.
“Glank, are all the Forgotten ones imprisoned in the Forgotten Prison?”
“Well, it is a place of exile, specially designed to imprison the madmen who cannot be saved. It is also a refuge that gives these madmen some time to calm down and become normal."
Plank stroked his stiff beard: "This is from the Holy See's information. According to the editor, the Land of the Forgotten was forged by several demigods, perhaps more powerful angels, and provided a habitat for the homeless Forgotten out of mercy."
"But according to my research, these are all lies. The Holy See deliberately distorted the facts. This prison is clearly an experimental base for heaven, and they are also studying void life!"
Wayne paused after hearing this. I thought of the strange-looking angels and their huge numbers.
Don’t say it, it is indeed somewhat possible.
"How about, isn't this secret exciting?"
Planck winked: "Heaven is also coveting the power of the void. The truly eternal and great life has always been in the void, not the Heavenly Father. The angels boasted by the Holy See.”
Wayne: "..."
This is not a secret. He has known for a long time that only the ancient gods are at the top of the evolutionary pyramid.
Instead of saying that heaven covets the life of the void, it is better to say that heaven covets the body of the ancient god!
Thinking of this, Wayne changed his previous guess that Heavenly Father equals Ancient God to an inequality sign.
If Heavenly Father is really an ancient god, what kind of forgotten people will Heaven study? Just study Heavenly Father directly.
The Land of the Forgotten was built by Heavenly Father, and Heavenly Father’s Holy See regularly filled it with people for study by Heavenly Father’s angels.
The Heavenly Father is not an ancient god, he also covets the body of an ancient god!
Of course, there is another possibility. Heavenly Father is indeed an ancient god. He lay down and the angels did not have the courage to study. They could only find another way to pile up data through experiments and test the various knowledge given by faith. , various possibilities.
Thinking of this, Wayne suddenly became excited. He has also been persisting in research recently, which shows that there is nothing wrong with the idea that research equals evolution.
The more secrets I know, the more ignorant I become of the world. My horizons are broadened again, and I have a new understanding of this magnificent world. I can't wait to look down at the beautiful scenery in the mist.
Struggle, longing, confusion...
Countless rivers of ups and downs and evolution of all living beings, with no where to go or where to return. Only by praying and receiving responses can we reach the other shore.
“Huh?!”
Wayne calmed down for a moment and was immediately sweating profusely.
No, the side effects of the fierce confrontation with Togugoye appeared. His ideas were too inhumane, like an ancient god who handed out candy to the destined people.
Togugoye: If you’re not familiar with it, don’t bother me. It has nothing to do with me.
Glank looked at Wayne eagerly. After all the secrets that needed to be said and shared, it was Wayne's turn to show what he had seen and heard.
Wayne readily transformed into a perfect elf, and the perfect balance of blending into nature made Gangplank fascinated, but...
I always felt that something was missing.
If this is the answer he has been longing for, it would be too low-level.
"Planck, this is just the beginning. Five beliefs form the skeleton of life, without corresponding flesh and blood bags, and the energy that makes the heart beat..."
Wayne said bluntly: "Life is too huge. The original Life Alliance is far more than just five gods. There are more. These gods fell in the battle of faith and were deprived of their names. The losers cannot leave their names. We have to find them."
Come and eat some pie!
Promoted to the Golden Mage, Wayne has no shortage of fellow members of the four elements, and decided to start with the 'storm and thunder' stored in the obelisk.
That’s not enough, the fallen gods are not just storms and thunders, there are many more.
It would be too hard for him to find it by himself, and he hoped that Gangplank would also move.
"Real life..."
Plank felt his scalp numb when he heard it. Wayne gave him two mouthfuls of chicken soup. He felt that it was salty, and the cake was also sour. The smell is really good.
He felt that there were too many real lives, and even if he could find them, he would not be able to grasp them all. Instead of working hard and risking losing his balance, it would be better to find them and hand them over to Wayne, and then...
Wait a minute, this guy won’t use me as a gunman, right?
The two stared at each other, and Gangplank stared so hard that his beard stood up.
In the darkness, the dilapidated gate was rippled by the breeze. This pale cold wind was limited to the land of the forgotten behind the gate, and did not blow into the God's Chosen Continent.
In the wind, the figure riding the white horse is hazy like mist.
“Life…”
“Fragile…”
————
It’s night.
The royal resort in the countryside of Lundan.
The figure in black robe looked into the distance, his cold eyes flashing with a struggling look, wanting to get close, but afraid of getting too close.
I want to escape, but I have to get closer.
"Your Majesty, your late night visit disturbs your rest."
Douglas arrived at the appointed time, five minutes early, and was very punctual.
Anastasia shook her head slightly, dispelling the helplessness in her heart, and said calmly: "Baron Kimo, I remember you said that it is best not to meet in person now. Is there anything that cannot be said on the phone?"< br>
“Regarding the future of the Dark Church, the Queen believes that it is safer to make it clear in person.”
Douglas made the potential risks clear: “The Queen allows the Dark Church to develop in London, but as a price in exchange , the Queen hopes that the Dark Church will fight against the Life Alliance."
"This is what we said at the beginning, why do we need to mention it again, are there any difficult enemies?"
"Not an enemy, just a disobedient retainer."
Douglas said: "There is a Landau family in the Tulip family. The head of the family, Auston, and the heir, Wayne, are respectively involved with the high priest of the Natural Church and the high priest of the Moonlight Church. For the sake of balance, the Queen hopes that Her Excellency the Holy Lady can stand by then. Come out."
"..."
"Your Majesty the Holy Lady?"
"I understand, these are not problems."
Anastasia glanced at Douglas helplessly, secretly thinking that he really found the right person: "Baron Kimo, is it difficult for the Landau family to deal with?"
"It's actually not difficult, but the Queen is too kind, and she doesn't want to use the most cruel means to suppress the Tulip family."
Douglas was unhappy and did not show it, and explained it to Anastasia Your own advantage: "A long time ago, the Queen and the Death Knight reached an alliance. The Queen hopes that you can find the Dark Knight of Lundan. By then, you can gather the two great choices, and the pressure of facing the Life Alliance will be much less."
< br>Not to mention the Life Alliance, when the Pope comes to London, he has to toast the Queen at the banquet.
This is sure!
"..."
"Your Majesty the Saint?"
"I try my best. I am just a person who serves the lost faith, and my status is far lower than that of the knight. Even if I find him, I can't order him." Anastasia sighed slightly.
The Queen has such a good eye for selecting allies!
Heeding her advice, instead of continuing to test, it is better to be more cheerful and skip to the end to send the crown to the Landau family.
There are so many knights over there that you can’t even count them on one hand.
