Chapter 181 Archives
Behind the wooden door, a tall guard wearing shiny full-cover steel armor and a long sword on his waist stood there.
On the surface, the quality of this guard seemed to be very good.
If you ignore his strange standing posture with his head slightly tilted, leaning against the wooden load-bearing pillar at the door.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the guard suddenly woke up from his sleep, stood up straight, and acted loyal to his duty.
No matter where they moved, as long as the size of the power did not exceed a certain level, the style of these guards was always the same as if they were carved out of the same mold.
Looking at the familiar style of the guard, Avis's mouth twitched obscurely.
"What's the matter?"
"Hello, where is the archive room?"
Hearing this, the guard looked at the two of them.
He was of average build, his clothes were covered by a brown traveler's cloak, and his appearance was indescribably ordinary.
...But he made people feel very friendly, so friendly that people couldn't bear to refuse any of his requests.
"The second-floor corridor, counting from the stairs, is the third room from the bottom. The room with a scroll-shaped image printed in the middle of the door is it."
"I see. Thank you for your answer."
Nodding, Avis took Jom to the second floor, leaving the guards who were still under the charm.
After successfully finding the archive room mentioned by the guard, Avis pushed the door open and entered. His mental power spread out, looking for the information he needed in the rows of tall stone archive racks.
Soon, he identified the classification marks on several archive cabinets.
Avis controlled his mental power and took down several thick paper files and an ancient stone tablet.
The files here are not all paper records, but a mixture of paper files, stone tablets and magic crystal balls to record information.
"The Origin of the History of Lavanlais Bay I", "Investigation Report of the Moon Calling Secret Cult", "Record of Geological Changes on Lavanlais Island"...
Flipping through the files in his hands, Avis finally had a complete concept of this island.
The earliest history of the port city of Lavanlais can be traced back to the time when the Yar continent was still ruled by the ancient magic empire.
In the year 2826 of the magic calendar, a fleet encountered a rare and extremely large storm.
After half of the ships capsized, the remaining ships were all swept into the depths of the foggy sea by the wind and waves, and lost in the endless fog of death.
Perhaps it was God's will, or perhaps some darker and more ominous will, their ships did not turn into ghost ships that wandered forever in the fog of death.
Instead, they arrived at this ancient and desolate vast island by accident.
At first, due to the invisible curse force field on the island, half of the survivors went crazy, but the remaining people discovered the temple of Rai and the protective force field that the temple constantly emitted.
So, the survivors built a residence near the temple of Rai and gradually explored the environment of the island. And officially settled down in this cursed land and became the earliest residents of the port of Lavanlais.
However, although they were the first residents of the port city, they were not the earliest residents of the island.
In the primeval forests, wastelands and mountains of the island, which are shrouded in the power of terrifying curses, there are many ancient ruins that are far older than Lavanlais.
No one knows what the identities of the early residents who lived in those obscure and terrifying ancient ruins on the island were.
But some obscure signs indicate that the ancient residents on the island may not have disappeared completely-
After a brief look at the origins of Lavanlais, Anvis continued to check the information about the secret cult.
People who call themselves the Moon Calling Secret Cult have long been wearing dark hoods and cloaks, acting strangely and mysteriously, and no one knows what they are doing.
There are also various evidences that the traces of this secret cult have appeared on the island long before the merchant fleet crashed.
The silver medal with a dark green pentagram is their most common symbol.
They believe in ancient alien gods, the most common of which is a faceless female image with black tentacles.
Every night when the purple moon is full, they will hold a secret meeting in a ruin somewhere in the wilderness of the island.

When Avis was immersed in reading, another young man with short brown hair walked into the room.
Hearing the voice, Avis spared a little energy and glanced at the door.
It was Claire!
Was she also here to investigate some island information?
After a slight pause, Avis did not make any move, but only spared a little mental power to pay attention to her movements.
Under Avis's secret watch, the girl searched for a while and took down several files from the file rack where the historical records of the island were placed.
After reading the whole article, she put the files back to their original place and stood up to leave the archive room.
When the girl's figure disappeared outside the door, Avis immediately extended his mental power and took out the files she had just read.
That was a record of the island's past history.
During that period of time, the curse of the island suddenly changed, becoming extremely anxious and surging.
All people stayed in the town and dared not go out.
However, after a few days, the curse returned to normal.
The curse lasted for seven days.
At the same time, many people saw that the strange castle on the top of the highest mountain on the island suddenly emitted light.
It was a faint and strange phosphorescent light that looked like burning.
.
….….
After checking the information he needed, Avis also left the archives.
He smiled and nodded goodbye to the guard at the door. He left the administrative hall and prepared to search the location of the residence of the two Moon Calling Mystics obtained from the investigation last night.
But just after walking out of the door of the administrative hall, Avis saw that the young man pretending to be Claire was talking to a player girl who was also a half-elf.
The two seemed to have been talking for a while. After a moment, Claire raised her hand, brushed a restorative magic on the Summer Night Firefly, and handed her a small package.
Then, the player girl left on her own, and I don’t know what task she received.
Without disturbing them, Avis took the administrative hall as the origin, identified the direction, and took Jom to the edge of the town, a relatively dilapidated urban area.
During the journey, the changes in the environment can be clearly seen.
The originally flat gravel road gradually had more cracks and potholes.
The surrounding buildings also gradually changed from beautiful and solid stone structures to increasingly dilapidated structures, and finally became a mixture of rotten wooden boards and broken windows.
If it weren't for the occasional thin smoke rising from the chimneys of some houses, Avis would have thought that this area had been completely abandoned.
