Chapter 388 The Mystery of Amber's Life Experience

? A civil war, a real civil war.

Different from the outbreak of armed conflict between nobles in the region, different from the limited war the lords are fighting to re-divide the land, and even different from the military operation that Gawain is preparing to regain control of the southern border, what Ansu is about to usher in will be a real battle. of civil war.

The re-divided royal family and border dukes will be the promoters, leaders, and participants in this war.

And behind all of this is the Society for the End of All Things, a cult organization with many mysteries hidden in the dark.

Their power has actually swelled to such an extent!

Gawain was almost stunned. He looked at Clement in front of him with a hint of consternation—even though this high-ranking cultist had been turned into a puppet under the control of Tyre's tentacles, he still had to deal with this man who had just ignited the civil war. Suo's people looked at it differently: "Why are you starting this civil war?"

There was a look of struggle on Clement's face, as if the only remaining will was resisting answering this key question, but after a moment he spoke in a low and chaotic voice: "All we want is a war... any form of war... …”

"You want war?" Gawain frowned tightly, "What do you want war for!?"

Clement let out a vague murmur, Tyre snorted lightly, and a slight halo immediately floated on the surface of those tentacles, disintegrating all Clement's will to resist: "War... ……raw material……"

Gao Wen chased after him: "Raw materials? Raw materials for what?"

Clement let out a low growl in pain, while Tyre gave a strange "Huh".

"There is a very strong mental restraint... It is even more effective than my Deep Sea Voice," Miss Siren showed a helpless look, "This restraint just erased part of his memory... I didn't even have time to observe. How it works."

"There's still such a thing?" Gawain was taken aback. He didn't expect that these cultists would leave such a "safety lock" in the minds of high-ranking members, and then he changed several methods to protect the side. Asking Clement, hoping to get some surviving clues, came out as expected—nothing.

He can now only establish the following facts:

Prince Edmund participated in the killing of his father, and had some kind of "cooperation" with mutual vigilance and subtle relationship with the death of all things; Prince Edmund's purpose was to end the status quo of the "puppet royal family" of the Second Dynasty,

Complete control of the entire country. On this basis, he probably has a lot of follow-up plans; the Church of the End of Everything needs war to provide them with some kind of "raw material", whether it is the civil war of Ansu or the outbreak of war between Ansu and Typhon, it is in line with Their request; Typhon hides the power of the Society for the End of All Things, and that Rosetta?? Augustus the Great is most likely also a collaborator of the Society for the End of Everything...

That was all he could get from Clement.

After finishing the questioning, Gawain glanced at Amber standing beside him and reminded: "Don't you have a question too? Hurry up and ask."

Amber glanced at Gawain, then at Clemente, then gritted his teeth and took out something from his arms.

She handed the thing to Clement. "I heard it before—do you know the origin of this ring?"

It took a long time for Clement's cloudy eyes to focus on Amber's hand, and he muttered in a low voice: "Shadow Signet...ancient ring..."

"Do you know why this ring is in the hands of King Ansu?" Amber stared at Clement's eyes. On her face, it was the first time that Gawain saw such seriousness, earnestness, anticipation, and a smile on her face. A complex expression of unease.

Where did this ring come from? It seems to be of great significance to amber?

Gawain couldn't help but feel curious about this.

And Clement responded quickly: "The Signet of Shadows...was the property of Francis Moen long ago...I don't know what it belonged to before it fell into the hands of Francis II...only Knowing it's from the... legacy of the ancient Empire of Gondor..."

"You said this is the legacy of the ancient Gondor Empire?" Amber stared, "What about other than that? Does anyone know the other origins of this ring?"

Amber's question was obviously too complicated, and Clement kept muttering in a low voice for a long time before uttering a series of meaningful words: "It... is related to the Shadow Realm... It can communicate with the creatures in the shadow..."

"...Said it is the same as not saying it!" Amber couldn't hide the frustration on his face, and even his ears that were always energetic were drooping a little.

Gawain had never seen this careless half-elf in such a low state, he couldn't help but wonder: "This ring is very important to you?"

"Well," Amber nodded, and then took out another ring from his arms. The appearance of the ring was exactly the same as the "Shadow Signet", but it was obviously damaged, and the precise magic pattern inside the ring had failed. , in Gawain's perception, it was just a metal ring with no magical fluctuations, "This is another... When I was very young, my adoptive father told me that this ring was picked up by him. The only thing I've ever found that might have something to do with identity. It wasn't broken, it only became this way the year I awakened my shadow talent..."

"Your background..." Gawain finally understood why Amber showed the expression just now, "According to what you just said, did you get that 'Shadow Seal' from Francis II?"

"That's right," Amber nodded, "It was because he used the Shadow Signet to summon a space gate that I was able to run to the border from here... I thought I had finally found the clues of my parents, but I didn't expect that only Just get back a ring."

At this time, Tyr, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke up: "I'll cut in - this Clement said that the Shadow Signet was always in the hands of the old king, Amber, you're afraid it's not the king's illegitimate daughter. Oh?"

Don't say that Tyre thinks so. In fact, Gawain came up with this huge amount of information after knowing the relationship between Amber and the Shadow Signet, but before he had time to speak, Solderin, who was not far away, was listening to Shaking his head, he said, "Impossible - look at Amber's ears."

Gawain looked at Amber with a puzzled expression: "Ear?"

"Here at the edge, upturned," Amber pointed to his long, pointed elf ears. "It's a paternal trait—it means my father was an elf. If it's maternal, half-elf ears The edges will be flatter and more extended back."

"Is there still such a difference..." It was the first time that Gawain knew this kind of little knowledge—even the old Gawain?? Cecil was only more knowledgeable in the field of human beings, not all in this regard. Clearly, "So Amber, your father must be an elf... According to the life expectancy of an elf, there is a high possibility that he is still alive."

"I think so too. Although I don't know what race my mother is, I believe my father is still alive," Amber raised his head and said firmly, "Since the Shadow Signet is a treasure of the ancient Gondor Empire, then My dad must be a very powerful elf, right? And he left me another ring... This must be left for the chance to meet each other in the future!"

Gawain looked at Amber with a complicated expression and smiled: "Of course, this is the most logical inference."

"But after so many years... I just found a ring... Or I got it from a dead person... The king's secret treasure, who should I ask to find out its origin?"

Gawain was silent for a few seconds, then slowly raised his head and said softly, "Knock down the capital, and someone will definitely be able to find out."

"Oh..." Amber muttered, but after half a second, he reacted, and suddenly exclaimed, "What?!"

"The war has begun," Gawain sighed softly, "Whether we like it or not, it has already begun."

The cave in the Shadow Experiment Field was quiet. Only Clement's low mumble and the sound of Tyr's tentacles stirring the water pool broke the silence. After a long time, Solderin looked into Gawain's eyes and said: " There's a bigger cloud behind this war than the war itself, and the cultists of all things die in anticipation of this civil war -- you know that."

"Of course I know," Gawain nodded slightly, "but this war is unavoidable. The hidden dangers of the Second Dynasty were buried as early as the day when the Duke of the North supported an illegitimate child to ascend to the throne. The peaceful situation in the kingdom for so many years has been Relying on the constant compromise of the Moen royal family and the checks and balances of several dukes have been maintained until now. In other words, as long as the members of the royal family do not intend to compromise, and the grand dukes do not intend to maintain a balance, then this peaceful situation will immediately lose its foundation... This hundred-year-old force is extremely powerful, and no matter you or I can't stop it."

Soldering sighed, and could only admit that what Gawain said was the truth.

Gawain did not continue to speak, but silently thought about the things Clement said in his heart.

All things die will look forward to this war, because this war will provide valuable "raw material" for one of their "cause".

Gawain was unable to ask what that "career" was, but through his side-by-side questions and his investigations into the Society for the End of All Things for a period of time, coupled with his understanding of the truth about the fall of the gods and the changes in Druid beliefs, he surpassed others. He could roughly infer what those cultists wanted to do, and what the "raw materials" they asked for might be.

After that, Gawain asked Clement for a lot of things, and in the process confirmed that he has the status of a high-level bishop in the entire Death of All Things. In addition, he also collected and A lot of information about the end of all things.

The interrogation lasted almost the entire night.

In the end, Tyre ended his "control" of Clement.

As the tentacles detached from the cultist's body, his flesh and blood began to collapse and disintegrate uncontrollably, and he fell like a melting wax figure. Clothes full of goo, and a few brittle, porous bones.

The man who killed Francis II and ignited the first fire of the Ansu civil war died tragically.

"It's really disgusting," Tyre looked down at the edge of the pool, and couldn't help sticking out his tongue, "It's like the deep-sea slime monster..."

"You take back the tentacles of your body first," Gawain frowned at the siren, "To be honest, your appearance has no less impact on ordinary people than the deep-sea slime monster."

(I want to announce a news on my birthday, probably many people know it... My wife is pregnant! It's been three months! I'm going to have small eyeballs next year!

However, my wife's reaction was very serious after pregnancy, and she is in poor health now. I have to take care of the family here, and my energy may not be able to keep up, and the update will be affected. I am adjusting my work and rest and coding habits here. I should be able to ensure that there will be no continuous changes, but there are double changes and single changes in the middle. I hope everyone can understand... Now I am taking care of the house alone, and I am really busy. But come.

Finally, happy birthday to me =. = I hope my wife gets better soon. )
