Chapter 1036 Come, Call Your Ancestors

There was silence in the room, and everyone was silently passing around those precious ancient documents and artifacts. The elders of the demon hunters paid full attention and treated every item handed to them with great care as if they were holding treasures, for fear of damaging it at all. Except for White Fire and Tutanin, all those present were the most knowledgeable and experienced group of demon hunters. They could fully see the value and significance of these antique items - these ancient scrolls and engraved slates. , crystals that record information, and ancient sacred artifacts with inscriptions. Each of them has a history of at least six thousand years. That was the period when the "Demon Hunter" was established as a truly powerful force. turning point in their history.

It was also an era shrouded in mystery and fog.

Demon hunters know very well that they actually have a lot in common with other aliens on earth. Even if they have been trying to define the difference between the two, they must at least admit that the race of demon hunters is the same as other aliens. suddenly appeared on the earth before. They know that they have at least 10,000 years of historical heritage on this planet, but a specific period 6,000 years ago is a mess to their scholars: their history has many gaps in those hundreds of years. .

That period only lasted a mere hundred years, which was just a blink of an eye compared to the ten thousand years of inheritance, but it was the most important hundred years.

Before this turning point, the demon hunters were just a small and weak group wandering in the cold north. Although they had superior physical fitness and magical talents, they lacked the necessary technical and cultural knowledge and had not developed their own profession. and power system, they are quite weak and can only avoid the powerful aliens wandering around and live a secluded life in the ice and snow. Almost no aliens know of their existence.

After this turning point, the demon hunters suddenly prospered. They had a different space country called "Corpus" as their home, countless ancient ruins to excavate, and a certain super power. With the precious wealth left by civilization, they began to develop their own talented bloodline, forming today's standard "demon hunter" power system, and more importantly - they established a lofty spiritual goal, in the noble and yet "hunting aliens" United under a common goal, they launched the first "hunting war" in history.

But no one knows exactly how this turning point occurred: all the history of this century has mysteriously disappeared.

As if they had encountered an unexpected encounter from the sky, after a hundred years of blank history, the Demon Hunters suddenly became the most violent team on the planet.

Countless scholars have spent a lot of time and energy investigating the truth of that year, but they have found nothing. The scattered evidence that can be found is simply not enough to lift the veil of the centuries-old fog. This is a huge regret for the demon hunters, elders. Gregorian once lamented: "We have a glorious history of ten thousand years, but we are missing the most critical one hundred years!"

Such an unnatural disconnection will inevitably make people think of some conspiracy behind it.

However, Hao Ren knew very well that there was only one reason for the break in their history: during those hundred years, Vivian was almost entirely involved in the rise of the demon hunters. She can be said to be the core character of the "Rise of the Witcher expansion pack". When her name and deeds are erased, there will be nothing left in this entire century of history.

"This...this..." Elder Gregorian held an ancient scroll with trembling hands. The things recorded on the scroll shocked and confused him, and he couldn't help but breathe quickly, "This is the tenth mentioned above. Four..."

Before Gregor could finish speaking, Hao Ren stood up on his own initiative: "Do you need to verify the authenticity of the scroll?"

The elders in the room looked at each other. They had all seen the key evidence, but the huge impact on their worldview made everyone subconsciously doubtful - doubting everything, including the documents and files in front of them.

"If these are true, then it's just...a big joke," the elder Andahel's voice was hoarse. Her slightly petite body shrank even further into her large windbreaker, as if she was trying to escape from something. "And it's not funny."

Hao Ren didn't say anything, but shrugged in a dumbfounded way, saying that reality was indeed much weirder than the novel.

"There is no need to doubt the authenticity of these things," Claude stood up. "These things have been sealed in the secret chamber of the First Saint for thousands of years, and the magic blessing left by the First Saint still remains on them. You can check it yourself. In addition..."

Claude said, his eyes falling on the elder Gregorian.

"Elder Grigovin, you are the eldest senior here. If I guess correctly, you should have been able to confirm the authenticity of these records."

Gregorian sighed, pinched his eyebrows with his hands as if he was tired, and then looked at the juniors around him who were waiting for him to speak. After a long time, he knocked on the table: "I'm afraid... this is all true."

There was a faint commotion at the scene.

"Since three days ago, I have been troubled by some fragmented dreams and memories," Gregor said with a sigh. "At first, I thought it was the effect of Lean Soul Syndrome, but soon the visual and auditory hallucinations of Lean Soul Syndrome began to appear. disappeared, only these broken memories and dreams are still popping up. Now I am finally sure that they are memories from my childhood. Several old friends should know that my childhood memories are always very vague... these are what we are missing. .”

Gregor smiled bitterly and pointed to the antique scroll on the table.

"I saw the scene of Vivian Ancesta leading the witchers in the Arctic Circle, as well as the early excavation work of Corpus. Although only a small part of the memory has been restored, it is certain that they are related to these books. The records on it match.”

Hao Ren's eyes suddenly lit up.

He thought that the generation of demon hunters six thousand years ago were all dead, but he didn't expect that there was still one alive - with this Gregorian evidence, all problems would be solved!

It's just that it seems that the curse of the God-killing Sword is quite powerful and has permanently damaged part of Gregorian's memory (it may also be that Gregorian was too fragile back then and was more seriously affected by the curse). The old hunter can recall it. Things are limited, otherwise the evidence would be stronger.

But no matter what, it’s starting to become clear what’s going to happen next…

Hao Ren told the elders present all the information he heard from Mimir about Vivian and the "Rise of the Demon Hunter" incident, including the truth about the mad disaster caused by the "Dark Sword". He did not explain in detail the origin of the sword and the secret of killing gods behind it, because the background involved in these matters was more complicated and it was impossible to explain it all at once. While Hao Ren was explaining, Bai Huo, Tutanin, and Claude continued to add details, making the whole process more reliable and believable.

The vague memory fragments in Gregorian's mind were completely consistent with the facts.

"Anyway, that's what happened." After everything was said, Hao Ren pointed at Vivian, "This is your fourteenth saint. Strictly speaking, he is the most qualified demon hunter still alive. Human leader. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, she has become your supreme leader after the collective fall of the Saints."

Hao Ren secretly added two words in his mind: one.

The leaders at the scene had just listened to the story about the Fourteenth Saint and were still immersed in the huge impact of the world view. They had no time to think about these things. When Hao Ren reminded them, everyone suddenly reacted.

Even Vivian herself was excited for a moment.

If this really follows the ancestral family law, Vivian, the "fourteenth saint", has not abdicated at all, and all the other existing members of the saint group have fled, so... the supreme leader of the demon hunter group is really Become this vampire ancestor!

However, the shocking news that Hao Ren wanted to reveal was obviously more than that. He didn't give the elders any time to react: "There is another more important thing to announce. Compared with Vivian's status as a saint, this second thing I’m afraid it’s even more exciting, so wait until you finish listening to it before you explode…”

Anda Heer stood up immediately, his voice trembling a little: "Can there be any more terrifying news than this?!"

In her mind, Vivian's true identity was enough to cause devastating post-disaster reconstruction for everyone at the scene. She didn't believe that Hao Ren could have more terrifying news.

As a result, Hao Ren easily lifted up Lily, who was sleeping next to her, and shook the husky girl's collar: "Come on, call me ancestor."

Lily opened her eyes drowsily, without wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth: "...Huh?"
