Chapter 2782 The Origin of Demons

Angel thought about it and asked the question in his mind.

Perhaps because of the previous failures, Laplace was not as silent as before, but said lightly: "Humans always claim to be very smart, but in fact, when prejudice is deep, they often cannot know it."

Angel: "What do you mean?"

Angel didn't understand why Laplace suddenly mentioned "human prejudice"? Could it be that the demons can actually awaken twice, and it is human prejudice that thinks that awakening once is the limit?

Laplace did not answer but asked: "Why don't you tell me what you know about the panic world and demons?"

Although Angel was confused, he still told what he knew.

After listening to Angel's narration, Laplace did not make any comments, but continued: "This is just your own opinion. Can your opinion represent everyone? Why don't you ask your companions again? Maybe they have something to add."

Angel didn't understand what he meant, but his eyes subconsciously looked at others.

Dox also came back to his senses at this time. Seeing Angel looking at him, he thought for a moment: "I know, you have basically said it. However, I remember that I once heard guests chatting in the tavern saying that there are three theories of the origin of the demons in the panic world..."

"But I didn't hear which three they were." Dox said this, and couldn't help but complain: "The group of guests chatting looked like a caravan, but they spoke in a veiled manner, looking ashamed."

Vai said unhappily: "Before you talk about others, don't forget what you are doing. You are eavesdropping!"

Dox: "I am eavesdropping openly!"

"Anyway, it's all eavesdropping. What's the difference between being open and aboveboard and sneaking around?"

When Dox was about to refute, Angel coughed and interrupted their argument first.

While their attention was diverted, Angel quickly looked at the Black Earl and asked with his eyes if the Black Earl had anything to add.

Black Earl: "I've heard of the theory of the origin of demons he mentioned. This is in the monthly magazine "The Secret of Winter" which recorded the "Secret of Winter" a hundred years ago."

"The Secret of Winter?" Angel was puzzled. In his memory, he had never had the impression of this journal.

Not only Angel, but others also looked like they had never heard of it.

Black Earl: "This is the internal journal of Winter Academy. Only professors of Winter Academy can read it."

Angel frowned. Since only professors of Winter Academy can read it, why did Black Earl read it?

Black Earl seemed to see through Angel's thoughts and said lightly: "It is said that only professors of Winter Academy can read it, but the purpose of publishing this journal at that time was to show it to outsiders."

Amid the puzzled expressions of everyone, Black Earl recounted the situation at that time.

To talk about why the news of the theory of the origin of demons was published in "The Secret of Winter", we have to start from a small conflict between the Frost Moon Alliance and the extreme sect a few months before the journal was published.

Yes, it is the Frost Moon Alliance and the extreme sect. These two... hegemonic organizations in the wizard world of the Southern Region.

At that time, a team of the Frost Moon Alliance secretly transported a batch of demon corpses from the abyss back to the Southern Region. However, when they were teleported from the abyss back to the boundary island of the Baikal Sea, they were wiped out by the extreme sect.

Originally, the Frost Moon Alliance and the extreme sect had always maintained a tacit understanding on the matter of "smuggling" and did not interfere with each other. Occasionally, the Frost Moon Alliance would sell the news of a few stowaways to the extreme sect so that they would not be embarrassed on the surface.

However, this time the smuggling was completely the behavior of the extreme sect, and the Frost Moon Alliance was not informed.

It is said that it was a gray-robed bishop in the extreme sect who took the initiative. The reason is also very simple... There are some absolute extremists in the extreme sect. They are not loyal to the archbishop, but only to the "world will".

The style of this faction is extreme among extremes, and they cannot tolerate a grain of sand in their eyes.

It happened that a gray-robed bishop of this faction was on duty on the boundary island, and someone happened to "accidentally" leaked the information of the Frost Moon Alliance's smuggling team, so there was this small conflict.

In the end, the extreme sect confiscated all the demon corpses, and the Frost Moon Alliance also lost several apprentices.

After this conflict, the two forces did not tear each other apart openly.

After all, the extreme sect represents "justice" and upholds the banner of the world's will. Resisting them is equivalent to resisting the world.

However, everyone kept silent on the surface, but secretly, the Frost Moon Alliance still made some small moves.

With Monk, the strongest wizard in the South, where would they put their faces if they had to swallow this "extreme insult"?

Therefore, there was a series of secret revenge. These revenges were said to be secret, but in order to regain face, there was also an element of acting, so the "secret" here is not absolutely "acting in secret". It refers to the "secret" that ordinary wizards don't know, but the high-level wizards in the South know.

This is to show the hegemony of the Frost Moon Alliance and to show that they will never suffer in silence.

In this series of retaliations, the Winter Academy's "Winter Secrets" was the first to be launched.

The Winter Academy is one of the thirteen wizard organizations under the Frost Moon Alliance. Their "Winter Secrets" was originally only open to the insiders, but a high-level witch "accidentally" left this journal at a tea party in a small circle, and then it spread.

But here, it was still a situation where only the high-level knew about it, and ordinary wizards knew nothing about it.

The reason why the Winter Academy did this was because there was an article in "Winter Secrets" that insinuated extreme sects.

And this article is "The Origin of Demons in the Panic World".

According to the article, the existence of demons in the Panic World is very strange. According to research speculation, there may be three origins.

Yes, it's just "speculation", which means that what I say is speculation, and you can also say it's made up.

The first of these three origins is the Void Theory. It is said that the demons in the Panic World originally originated from the void.

The argument is that they are too strong. Compared with the intelligent life in the Panic World, these demons are so powerful that they are simply not on the same level. How could such a strong existence be a native organism? After all, the Panic World is so barren that it can't support powerful demons.

So, they may come from the void.

The second possibility is the overlap theory. It means that the Panic World is an overlap of multiple worlds, just like a fairy tale world, with a distinction between the surface world and the inner world. Demons mainly come from the inner world.

The argument is the same as before. The native land of Panic World is too barren to support powerful demons. There must be other sources. Then the inner and outer worlds are one possibility.

The third possibility is the theory of world will support.

The barrenness of Panic World may be due to being devoured by creatures from other worlds. Panic World is a breeding ground for some powerful worlds.

In order to prevent Panic World from continuing to degenerate, the world will support a kind of creature to rise to the top, which is demons.

Through powerful demons, expel creatures from other worlds and maintain the balance of Panic World.

As for the argument, there is none. It is a complete guess. The world will of Panic World is so tolerant of demons because they carry the banner of "justice" in Panic World.

Just like the extreme sects carry the banner of justice in the southern wizard world.

The above are the three origins of demons in Panic World... all speculations, without any real evidence.

The first and second ones are basically written to make up the number. The reason why Winter Academy puts this article in "Winter Secrets" is that the focus is on the third possibility.

This third theory of origin is completely alluding to the extreme sect.

Even anyone who has a little understanding of the structure of the Southern Territory wizard world can see that this is basically a mockery of the extreme sect.

How could the Frost Moon Alliance allow such an article to be spread only internally? It was written for the purpose of spreading it externally.

But it cannot be openly called an external story, so it found "Secrets of Winter" and made such a "accidental leak" drama.

After the extreme sect saw it, even if they wanted to trouble the Frost Moon Alliance, they had no formal and reasonable reason.

Because "Secrets of Winter" can only be seen by people in the Winter Academy, why can you extreme sects see it? Is there a spy?

As for deliberate leaks? The Frost Moon Alliance naturally cannot admit it.

This is a clear conspiracy, through some small actions, to disgust the extreme sect and avenge the original revenge.

And this is just a not-so-noticeable revenge in a series of revenges. In addition, there are some more blatant behaviors. Therefore, this article is not very important, and it is only spread in a small range among the high-level wizards in the Southern Territory.

As the patriarch of the Noah clan and one of the top wizards in the Southern Territory, the Frost Moon Alliance will naturally not forget him.

Even if the Black Earl does not want to see this article, the Frost Moon Alliance will use various methods to reveal this article to him.

So, it seems to be a secret, but it is just that your strength level is not up to it. When you have influence, these secrets will naturally be put in front of you.

…

After listening to the Black Earl's story, everyone was not too surprised. It is normal for such a situation to occur between various organizations and alliances in the Southern Territory.

Open and secret struggles continue day by day, and intrigues never stop. This is the wizard world, a world where you either scheme against me or I scheme against you.

On the contrary, Laplace, who heard the whole story, said softly with a hint of sarcasm: "Heh, human."

Laplace did not say anything else, but everyone could sense that disdain.

Seeing the atmosphere turning tense, Angel took the initiative to ease the tension: "This information about the origin theory has no real evidence, so it's hard to say it's true, right?"

Black Earl: "That's right. However, the beginning of this article is right. The monsters in the Panic World exist in a very strange way. The powerful ones have legendary abilities, but the Panic World is so barren that it can't support such a powerful existence. Therefore, there is no need to delve into this article, but it can be used as a reference."

Angel nodded in understanding and continued: "Does your Excellency have any other information about the Panic World to add?"

Black Earl thought for a while and said: "An old friend of mine once wanted to go to the Panic World. He went to Panic Realm to study demons, but he didn't succeed in the end. "

Dox wondered: "Was he repelled by the demons?"

Black Earl: "No. Before he arrived at Panic Realm, he was led to a void disaster by the signpost to Panic Realm. According to him, if you want to go to Panic Realm, the nearest road passes through this void disaster, but the disaster in this void fluctuates periodically. Without detailed data, it is difficult to find a way to pass through the disaster. "

"If you take a detour, you will enter the collapsed area. I don't know how much space and time you will have to go around. Hundreds of years passed in a flash. "

"In the end, he chose to return. "

After listening to the Black Earl's story, everyone was actually a little confused, because there was not much information about this matter. The connection with the Panic World was also very weak. If you have to say it, it was that they encountered a disaster on the way to the Panic World and were forced to retreat.

"They haven't even reached the Panic World, and they are still very far away from the Panic World. Is this considered information about the Panic World?" Dox directly pointed out what everyone was thinking.

Black Earl: "It really doesn't matter. However, the Panic World's signpost was recorded by the Frost Moon Alliance in the "Plane Conquest Record". The Frost Moon Alliance did not say that this signpost would encounter a void disaster on the way."

Angel: "What do you mean, is the Frost Moon Alliance cheating people through this signpost?"

Black Earl shook his head: "I don't know. I told this story just to tell you that the Panic World is a contradictory world full of mysteries. It is best to look at it dialectically and don't trust the information from the outside world."

Angel was silent for a moment and nodded.

The general meaning of the Black Earl is that the Panic World recorded by the Frost Moon Alliance may not be accurate.

The things that Angel had told about the Panic World and the demons were almost all what he had seen in the "Record of the Plane Conquest" compiled by the Frost Moon Alliance.

So, these information might be false?

When Angel was thinking about this, Kael suddenly stretched out his hand: "I saw a piece of news about the Panic World in a ruin before, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Angel: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not, but it doesn't matter if you tell me."

Kael nodded and began to tell his own experience. From his fluent words, it can be seen that he should have been prepared. Perhaps, when Laplace asked Angel to ask his companions about the Panic World, he had already started to sort out the wording.

From this, it can be seen from the side that Kael should be quite concerned about this news, and it is probably a knot in his heart that he can't forget.

"This relic is actually near the Sandworm Market." Kael: "Lord Red Sword should know that I like to buy cipher maps very much. I have bought several cipher maps from you."

Dox nodded. At first, when he saw Kael buying cipher maps, he thought he had a habit of deciphering codes. Later, he learned that Kael simply wanted to see if there were some secret information hidden in the ancient cipher maps.

"A few years ago, I found an old-looking cipher map at the Sandworm Market. After deciphering the cipher map, I found that it was a guide map similar to a treasure map."

Dox: "I seem to remember this. You said at the time that it was a fake treasure map that was deliberately made old?"

Kael nodded: "Indeed, it was a fake treasure map. I found the location according to the map and found that it was just an abandoned cave in the desert. There are even traces of human activities in it in recent times."

"I guess that the person who made the treasure map may have been active there. So, he made it into a cipher map to lure customers to buy it."

And Kael was foolishly hooked.

"Although it was a cave with human activities, I still searched there. During the search, I actually found a hidden secret room."

"It was a secret room that had never been opened. I didn't know it at the time, thinking that someone had entered the secret room a long time ago. So, after deciphering the mechanism, I pushed the door and went in directly."

"The outside air entered the secret room, and all the colored things inside faded almost instantly."

"The secret room was very small, and the only thing inside was the mural. As a result, because of my carelessness, the mural disappeared completely in a short period of time..."

"However, before it disappeared, I still remembered part of the mural."
