Chapter 182: History, Pollution, and the Black Sun

Chapter 182 – History, Pollution, and the Black Sun

A line of text suddenly appeared on the “Chronicle Pillar”, a city-state that no one knew, a battle that no one knew, a defeat and sacrifice that no one knew – a piece of history that did not exist in anyone’s memory, leaving only a trace in the world after its demise.

Even this extremely short sentence, I’m afraid that countless fire-bearers had to pay with their lives to pass it on to the real world.

After listening to Maurice’s words, Duncan fell into thought after a short period of dismay.

The Church of the Fire Bearers …… He knew the general situation of this sect.

After learning of the existence of the “four gods faith” in this world, he had a strong interest in these gods that have a great influence on earthly operations, and the book that Maurice had sent to him earlier also happened to have a lot of content related to the Church of the Four Gods, so he learned about the four major churches of the four gods once again, and among these four gods faith, the “Firebringer” was the one he thought was the most special. Among the four divine beliefs, the “Fire Bearer” was the one he thought was the most special.

The core of their beliefs, or their “beliefs”, were very different from those of the other three gods. The storms, wisdom, and death that the other three gods followed were relatively easy to understand, while the …… concepts that the fire-bringers followed were the “history” and the “history” of the four gods. “History” is something more ethereal.

History is the memory of civilization, passed down through the ages – this is the core of the belief of the fire-bearers, they believe that civilization began with “fire”, and continued with “fire” as a symbol. They believe that civilization began with “fire” and continues to this day with “fire” as its symbol, and that it is their mission to fight against the countless threats in the world that try to interfere with or distort the transmission of this fire and to ensure the stable continuation of civilization’s flame.

The Firebearers follow and worship Tarekin, the Eternal Flame, a giant who stood at the beginning of civilization, said to have preserved and guarded the first bonfires started by mortals and made them a part of his own body, discerning the correct history in the leaping and branching of the flames and inscribing it on his own body, as civilization progressed, this giant grew larger and larger. As civilization advances, the giant grows larger and larger, and when he reaches his limit, the civilization of earthly mortals will be truly secure, and no one will be able to threaten the correct continuation of history, and even subspace will not be able to annihilate civilization.

This is the original text in the book sent by Maurice, and is the most important passage in the Salary Bible held by the fire-bearers.

In Duncan’s opinion, the last part of these descriptions may be just the beliefs of the believers, a pie drawn by the Church, the credibility of which is debatable, but the description of the “fire bearers guarding history” should be true.

History can be contaminated, and naturally it can be protected, and vice versa.

“…… So that’s what they did back in the day ……” Duncan suddenly muttered thoughtfully.

“What did you say?” Morris didn’t react for a moment, “Did it once back then? What does that mean ……”

“Nothing, just talking to myself,” Duncan gently shook his head and looked rather seriously at the old gentleman in front of him, “The information you brought is very important.”

“The information I brought?” Maurice, however, was a bit confused, “You mean the third record I just mentioned? That transmission that appeared on the Fire Transmitter Chronicle Pillar?”

Duncan nodded slightly, then suddenly frowned again, “One thing I’m curious about though, does the Black Sun have the authority to pollute history?”

“This ……” Maurice hesitated, obviously this is a bit beyond his knowledge as a “history expert”, “I’m not really sure! Black Sun’s authority, this is probably only those who specialize in the fight against the evil gods will understand, but as far as I know, the Black Sun theoretically should not have this ability ……”

Duncan nodded thoughtfully, while Maurice looked uneasily at the “Subspace Shadow” who seemed to be thinking.

This “Mr. Duncan” has been very polite, very patient, he discussed academic issues with himself, sometimes asking questions and thinking, the atmosphere is just like his last visit to the antique store, but the phantoms and noises that appeared from time to time in his mind are still constantly reminding Maurice, so that he realized that he is walking on the edge of the abyss! .

“Mr. Duncan seems to be interested in the Firebringer, in the “pollution and preservation of history”, why? Is this being from subspace planning something? Did Rahm, the God of Wisdom, ask him to stay behind in order to gain information on this matter? What is the relationship between this Subspace Shadow and the God of Wisdom? Was it some sort of rivalry?

Was he participating in a game between the gods? Was he acting as the “eyes and ears” of the God of Wisdom, spying on his opponents?

The chaotic thoughts in Maurice’s mind rose and fell, and he became more and more cautious. After realizing his possible “role”, he even felt a sense of mission, and felt that Rahm seemed to be standing behind him, observing “Mr. Duncan” in front of him through his own pair of eyes. Mr. Duncan”. While the old gentleman was rambling, Duncan also finally ended his contemplation, and the latter suddenly raised his head, half-curious, half-emotional, and muttered, “That said, that gang of ‘Sun Heretics’ has done so much, but they can still be active today… . haven’t the sane people of the various city-states ever thought of completely exterminating this gang of lunatics?”

“It’s not easy to exterminate an evil god sect,” Morris snapped out of his thoughts and subconsciously shook his head, “The beliefs of heretics are like mercury entering the body, permeating everywhere, even if more are eliminated, there will always be new ones popping up, in the end, it’s because the ‘deities’ behind them are still active. Deities’ are still active – as long as that corresponding evil god is still around, then the contamination and infiltration of mortals will never stop, knowing that even if all the adults in a city-state die, leaving only the purest of newborns behind, those newborns are the ones who will naturally emerge with compelled minds ……”

Morris said, shaking his head, “Some people just live well, most of their lives are diligent and honest people, but just because of a weakness in a certain setback, a thread of fear, or seeing things they shouldn’t look at, hearing things they shouldn’t understand, they become the minions of heretics overnight, their minds stuffed with forbidden knowledge, donning black robes and becoming the followers of evil gods. a follower of an evil god, how can such heretical corruption be cleaned up?”

Speaking of this, this old gentleman subconsciously glanced at Duncan again, his eyes becoming a bit odd.

Duncan was puzzled: “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No offense,” Morris took a soft breath and gathered his courage, “but shouldn’t you be well aware of this …… corruption that occurs among mortals?”

Duncan didn’t respond at first, and it took a couple of seconds before he figured out what the other man meant, and was instantly bemused, “It’s not like I’m into that – I’m usually very law-abiding, and when I see an evil-doer, I take it upon myself to go to the nearest sheriff and report it.”

Morris: “……?”

The old man clearly held his tongue momentarily, but none of it dared to come out.

Duncan, on the other hand, felt that the topic was a bit skewed, and hurriedly waved his hand before the other party opened his mouth, “I understand what you mean, that is, the believers of the evil gods in the earthly realm are just ‘appearances’, and that the biggest problem is that the ‘evil gods’ themselves can’t be eliminated. So their contamination is just like a poison that keeps spawning crops of cultists, and the Guardians can’t clean it up even if they fight for 10,000 years……. But is the Black Sun’s influence really that strong? I’ve seen that unlucky guy ah, he is almost dead, not to mention meddling in the earthly world, to say a word to me have to rely on the return of the light, such can also pollute the earth?”

The corner of Morris’s mouth suddenly trembled: “The state of the Black Sun is even worse that is also in your eyes ah, we …… are just fragile mortals ……”

Duncan heart flooded with indescribable weird, on the spot wanted to say to the old man, “I am also human, you see what I am not like human”, but then considered the old man’s physical and mental health, this sentence froze did not have the good sense to say ……

Morris subconsciously said what he had in mind, as if he had thought of something else, and after a moment’s pause, he added: “However, your doubts may also point to the crux of the problem, if the state of the Black Sun is really as bad as you say, His pollution of the earthly world should not be so strong, at least not to make the solar heresy so tricky! …… It may all still have something to do with those beings known as the ‘Children of the Sun’.”

“Sun Heirs? ……” muttered Duncan thoughtfully, while his mind couldn’t help but think again of the tall, thin, dark figure that had appeared in Sherry’s dream earlier.

Although there was no clear evidence, but he always felt that that thing was probably related to the legendary “sun heir”.

The black sun was already in its twilight, and was no longer able to shine on this world, however, the heir of the black sun had continued to this day, and on the other hand, the influence of the black sun had continued, resulting in the Sun Cultists not being able to be eliminated, and the harm they caused was also getting bigger and bigger.

But up to this point, one problem remained unsolved:
The Black Sun did not have the ability to pollute history, and His heirs were certainly even more incapable.

However, in the early days of the New City-State Calendar, news came from the historically forgotten city-state of Wilhelm that “the Black Sun had descended from history”, and now the city-state of Prand also showed signs of historical contamination, so how could this be?

Could …… be the one who is “helping” the Black Sun to come back from history?
