Chapter 370: Aifilal's Past
The silver-haired witch, who had been listening and had not spoken, looked at the demon hunter with the same puzzled gaze.
Ephilar was also curious about why the Seris, who kept appearing in the future clips he saw, was so mysterious.
Originally, she thought that the identity of the demon hunter was the only reason why the other party would occupy such an important position in the future, but as the witch learned more about Xu Yichen, the more she felt that the identity of the demon hunter was probably the most superficial layer of the other party's mysterious background.
In the past few weeks of living in Xu Yichen's territory, the silver-haired witch has been asking about the other party's family history, and the dwarf Groyin has contributed the most.
In the short two months of becoming a demon hunter, there is still nearly a month to go, and Sir Gangze Aragorn, who was supposed to perform the duties of a mentor, is not by Xu Yichen's side at all, how much can he learn as an apprentice?
Demon hunters are not known for their quick success.
More than a hundred years of apprenticeship, with a belt-by-one approach, carefully cultivated one after another experienced, indifferent, and unmoved cold-blooded hunters, is the fundamental reason why this profession is looked down upon.
This is not the first time that Ephilar has come into contact with demon hunters, as Silas Hand, a demon hunter, has been one of the long-term collaborators of the monastery since he lived in the temple monastery on Ophelia VII.
Unlike the other nuns in the Sisters of the Heart, inside the Temple Monastery, the purpose of these nuns is to break boundaries and expose the nature of chaos by any means.
This is one of the reasons why they are sent to the remote island of Ophelia Seven, and partly because what they study is too dangerous.
Even the few witch kings who were interested in their studies did not dare to risk leaving the Templar Monastery in the New World.
So the island of Ophelia VII, far from the New World and from all civilizations, became the territory of the Templar Abbey.
Not only are there fanatical battle nuns guarding the convent, but there are also a large number of clerical nuns who are engaged in forbidden research.
The renegade Templar Abbey even had a honeymoon with the Witches' Federation, teaming up to summon an evil demon from the subspace, a terrifying creature that truly lives in the subspace.
The summoning eventually led to the corruption of all the witches involved in the experiment, nearly opening a portal to the Void on the island, and breaking the fragile relationship between the two forces.
It is not at all surprising that the temple monastery with such a style later set its sights on the demon hunters.
Silas Hand, the Griffon School Demon Hunter, the only Demon Hunter from the New World, became the new target of the Templar Abbey.
It was the first time Eferal had seen a demon hunter, and of course, compared to the Seris in front of him, Silas Hande was a half-human, half-demon monster.
But it was this monster, with his outstanding magic seal skills and the cost-free investment of the monastery, that he had sealed the chaos demon in the depths of the monastery.
This was one of the greatest feats of the Temple Monastery and the reason for the later destruction of the Temple Monastery.
With the Great Demon sealed, the clerical nuns of the Templar Monastery quickly gained knowledge that no one else had ever had the opportunity to obtain.
Whether this knowledge is good or bad, the witch kings love it equally.
Soon, a lot of resources and manpower were poured into this small island that had been forgotten in the corner.
Eferal remembers the island's harbor at that time, with its endless stream of ships and floatboats carrying countless supplies from sunrise to sunset.
Of course, the demon hunter Silas Hander also got what he wanted, with knowledge about Chaos, Subspace, and the Four Evil Gods, no matter how big or small, he copied a copy and sent it back to Kyle Mohan.
However, judging from the news he later received from Xu Yichen, not long after this, a group of traitors were born in Kail Mohan, the headquarters of the demon hunters.
I'm afraid the reason for this is inseparable from the things that Silas Hande brought back.
The Templar Abbey swallowed the bitter fruit a little earlier, and the cry of the sisters who had been stripped off and wailed was still heard every night by Ephilal.
This knowledge from chaos is a tempting poison, and everyone who eats it will eventually die a bad death.
And Efilal itself is one of the products of this knowledge.
Witches, the profession that appeared in the world after the Chaos Erosion began, has always looked at the power that many forces have watched.
The person who is chosen by the spiritual energy does not need to pay sweat and money, and does not need talent, as if overnight, your life has been changed, from a mortal thing to a transcendent being.
Even if the change doesn't come from your own volition and doesn't always happen in a satisfactory way, it's still a shortcut.
Even the great Witch Kings are full of curiosity about this power, and the entire Sisters of the Heart of the Sincere, under the orders of the Witch King, sail the black ship to search for potential psionic awakeners on various continents.
The artificial psyker is a cross-generational invention of the temple monastery, and Ephilal, who was originally just a battle nun, was infused with the power of ninety-nine psionics by the wailing clerical nuns before the monastery was destroyed.
From that day on, countless horrific images from the future had driven Ephilar to the brink of madness, and every bloody picture she saw was reflected before she was imprisoned by the Black Ship.
It's ridiculous to say, on the one hand, the nuns of the heart of the sincere are frantically searching for the psychic sensitives who have awakened their psychic powers, burning them to death in the ash square.
On the other hand, the higher-ups of the Sisters of the Heart of the Sincere knew that the ones they burned were only the ones that were left after they had been chosen by the Witch King.
The real research value has been sent to the Witch King's laboratory, or the island of Ophelia VII.
It wasn't until the eve of the destruction of the Templar Monastery that Raphael learned these truths, so she had no interest in the battle between nuns and witches in the Great Port of Antonio, and she wouldn't be as stupid as she had been if either side emerged victorious.
Carrying too much, knowing too much, and the layers of burdens made Aiferar a little breathless, but all this disappeared in front of Xu Yichen, who had just become a demon hunter.
Like dropping a bomb in the dead water of a lake, the silver-haired witch has never seen a definite picture of the future since the day Xu Yichen put her blood-dripping finger into her cell.
