Gasque Loren threw the book pages forward, and they emitted a blue light in the air, intertwining and overlapping, crossing the pure pool of water with magic, and flew into Yang Yu's hands.
Yang Yu steadily caught the pages that Gasque Loren had thrown.
The text on the ancient pages was quite old, identical to the pages from the Hero Lox Maze, but the handwriting and writing style were vastly different, with a more rounded font.
"This is the evidence you need," Gasque Loren said, "These are the original pages, from an ancient recorder. It took us many, many years to decipher the content to learn the story I just told you.
The father of the magician in your team worked as a translator for us here.
This is his manuscript from that ti, please pass it to his daughter for ."
Waving his fingers, Gasque Loren summoned a Magic Array, took out a stack of white pages from it, and tossed them to Yang Yu.
Flipping through the pages, Yang Yu skimd through Bai Jin's father's manuscript. The translated content was not complete, but the majority was not much different from what Gasque Loren said.
Gasque Loren squinted slightly, through the Surveillance Magic placed in the barrier, he could see that Bai Jin and the others had already found the barrier of Kekarlos, and also saw the remaining expeditionary team reorganize and proceed towards the church where he was located, only a matter of ti before they arrived.
After repeatedly verifying the page corner numbers, Yang Yu discovered that the pages given by Gasque Loren were also incomplete, with large gaps in between, and Yang Yu used this as his entry point:
"The content on these pages is not complete. Are you sure you're not taking things out of context with your understanding?"
Gasque Loren said expressionlessly, "There is other evidence, but those are not things you can casually see.
Your battle with the demon just now, I also saw it all.
There is intelligence saying that you have ancient relics on you, allowing you to summon weapons and equipnt so quickly.
How much do you know about the relics?"
"Vaguely. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sowhat surprised at what you said."
Gasque Loren felt a bit disappointed with Yang Yu's answer:
"The criteria for relic selection are truly indecipherable.
You are not the only one chosen by the relic, in the distant past, others have also been chosen by relics.
The founding of the Curse Sect was not on a whim, and our firm belief is not without basis.
The first person to establish the Curse Sect was also chosen by a relic, back then he glimpsed the tip of the ancient iceberg through a certain artifact.
He was bewildered then, but the fact that the goddess appeared and changed the world is undeniable.
What he saw at that ti, along with this Underground City, has been passed down from generation to generation.
I have also seen those visions, unimaginably shocking, indescribable in words."
Hearing Gasque Loren say this, Yang Yu recalled the relic he saw within the Luo Ze Empire.
In that relic, Yang Yu inadvertently triggered a certain device, even causing a Nine-Life Cat Demon to appear.
In this world's history, there might have been more than one person like Yang Yu, and it might be possible that one such individual beca the Sect Ancestor of the Curse Sect by coincidence.
Feigning surprise, Yang Yu said, "Is this Underground City also a relic? But from its appearance, the architectural style here is not much different from the outside, especially the decoration style of this church..."
Gasque Loren replied:
"This place was once a shelter during ancient wars.
Does that help you understand?
When the first Pope of the Curse Sect arrived here, it had already beco a ruin.
He always regarded this place as a holy sanctuary, also as a stronghold and special research site.
Until more than fifty years ago, it was still a ruin.
Both a ruin and a treasury...
Many things were discovered here, including the instrunt that modified [Modesty].
With the sect's in-depth investigation, the unresearched items here beca fewer and fewer.
To smoothly execute the demon summoning plan and as a precaution, I had this place rebuilt.
Otherwise, do you think hollowing out this mountain and building a city within it would take how long?"
"So, it was after you discovered sothing here to manipulate demons that you finally decided to implent the plan to summon demons to defeat the goddess?"
Gasque Loren did not avoid the question in the slightest:
"That was an insurance.
In the distant past, the sect also had experiences summoning demons using the powers of a hero's companions, trying to find a way to control demons, but the results weren't good.
So demons lost the missions set by their creators and acted too recklessly.
So demons totally lacked brains, their obsession with defeating the goddess was too deep, unable to lie low, they went straight to seek revenge on the goddess's elf believers as soon as they appeared, ignoring anyone's orders.
Past popes once doubted whether demons were uncontrollable.
But to defeat the goddess, people of that era spared no effort and naturally thought of the sealed demons.
They underwent nurous experints, deconstructed demons countless tis, and finally produced that item.
However, don't expect to get that item.
Correct power should be in the correct hands, that item will not fall into the hands of any ambitious individual to be used as a tool for world dominance and realizing ambitions.
I've said everything I wanted to say.
Now that you know about the past, what will you choose next?"
Gasque Loren spread his hands, showing no trace of fear, as if he could calmly accept his death should Yang Yu attack.
His duty as the Pope was finished, and things had developed to a point beyond his control.
If it were soone else coming here instead of Yang Yu, he might have feigned that defeating him would end everything and fought desperately.
But facing Yang Yu, Gasque Loren felt there was no aning in pretending.
Gasque Loren waited for death, as death was his only destination.
However, Yang Yu did not draw his sword, but instead, put the pages and manuscript into the system, looked at Gasque Loren, and then asked:
"One last question, why did you so readily tell everything and hand these things to ?"
Gasque Loren stared at Yang Yu and said:
"The reason is clear to you, right? No need for to confirm it.
You ca here alone for this very reason.
I would only say these words with you coming here alone.
I simply responded to your expectations and made a helpless gamble on the future.
Who knows how the future will unfold, but you might beco the person to most influence the course of history."
