"Seth, I figured it out!"

Suddenly, the maid slapped the table and startled Cervantes.

He looked at the maid standing behind the desk in a daze, not knowing what she had suddenly 'thought'.

The maid did not speak immediately, but thought, and after verifying her thoughts again, she looked at the black dragon, and with an extremely serious look, she said word by word: "That Taling is lying, we have been deceived!"

"What, what?" Cervantes looked confused, blinked, and asked in surprise, "We were deceived?"

The maid took a deep breath and asked, "Remember what was the first question that Taling asked you after he woke up?"

Cervantes frowned and thought back, "It seems to be 'How long has it been since the Empire lost the war, otherwise, a dragon like you would not have been here'......"

"But in fact, it should have known before you arrived that the Arcane Empire had lost that war!"

The maid's words made Cervantes stunned again, but looking at her serious face, he asked in a low voice: "Why?"

"Seth, what do you think 'geological change' means to ordinary people?" the maid walked to the map of the Principality of Screaming Wind hanging on the wall, pointing to the location of the institute, "Ordinary people who have not opened the people's mind are quite ignorant, you have experienced it yourself, and I am sure you should know this very well. ”

Cervantes bowed slightly, he had had a similar experience, but not after inheriting this territory, but before that.

The people will just go with the flow, but they will be quite stubborn in certain things, especially the old people who have lived to be fifty or sixty years old, they have more knowledge than other young people, but some ideas have been ingrained in their minds, and even if they die, they are not willing to accept things that are contrary to their thoughts.

"This mine was developed after we carried out the 'mining reform', and the surrounding villages were resettled, so I knew very well. But in the meantime, nothing has stopped us from exploiting the veins, Seth, do you know why?" said the maid, looking at the black dragon, her eyes burning.

"It's because ......," Cervantes thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "because they have no corresponding taboos in the development of 'veins'!"

In this era of particularly closed information, people are generally quite ignorant, and a legend can be passed down in a village or even a town for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Serena only mentioned it slightly, and Cervantes immediately thought of it.

This place was once within the influence of the Arcane Empire, and the war naturally spread to this place, after the war, in order to search for the 'remnants' of the Arcane Empire, the Mendes Continent and even the Sloh Continent, and even the Southern Continent were searched.

If that institute had only appeared on the main material plane after the war, and caused geological changes, it would have been found a long time ago.

Like many of the relics of the Arcane Empire today, many of them, with the exception of some deeply hidden research institutes, were discovered at that time.

At that time, even the 'All-Seeing Eye' and the 'Dragon Hunting Order' did not dare to come forward, so that many research institutes at that time were smashed by the angry army and completely reduced to ruins.

Because of that war, many of the veins that were once hidden in the earth were exposed, but the fact that the veins of that mine were still 'shallow veins' shows that it was not affected much by the war.

That being the case, if the geological changes there were 'post-war', regardless of the time span, as long as there were changes, the people who lived in the vicinity would be affected.

You must know that the period when the Arcane Empire ruled the Mendez continent was the most populous period of the continent so far, and even after a fierce war, the population was quite large.

At that time, almost every corner of the continent was inhabited, and geological changes in an area could affect the extent of at least one duke.

If a geological change occurred soon after the war, it could attract those who had not recovered from their hatred of the Arcane Empire, and if it had occurred in the hundreds of years after the war, it could be worshipped as a 'miracle' or a demonic spell by a nearby village.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for that research institute to appear on the main material plane after the war, and the most likely time for it to appear on the main material plane is in 'wartime'!

At such a time, there are two possibilities -

First, the tower thought that the Arcane Empire was invincible, so he was very relieved to kill the Arcanists, and took out their brains to make a 'human brain matrix', and stopped the other energy sources of the research institute, and spent most of the resources on 'computing'.

Second, that Taling had long known that the Arcane Empire would lose this war, so he would kill those Arcanists, and everything else was just a preparation to disguise the existence of the Institute.

At this point, they could tell from the attitude of the three omniscient mages towards the tower spirit and the 'answer' to that question, that the omniscient eyes, or 'arcane empire', were quite concerned about the results of the calculations.

However, the Omniscient Eye did not go to the Institute to get the 'answer' before they discovered it, i.e., the Omniscient Eye did not actually know the exact location of the Institute.

It's worth pondering, why the Arcane Empire was so concerned about this, but didn't tell the Omniscient Eye the location of that research institute?

If there is an agreement on the time of 'open teleportation', the Eye of Omniscience can deliver supplies through 'teleportation', so that the tower will not have to kill the arcanists.

So, the first one may not be true, and if it is, then there is no need for that Taling to do that!

The maid nodded her head and said in a cold voice: "That Taling should have known that the Arcane Empire would lose that war, it didn't judge the 'Arcane Empire lost' based on your presence there, but it lied from the beginning!"

That tower knew that the Arcane Empire would lose, so he would unite with the upper echelons of the Arcane Empire to wipe out everything about that institute.

Otherwise, this would not be the case now!

"It's loyal to the Arcane Empire, but its previous actions are quite suspicious, as if trying to trap our minds in a circle, so that we can ignore some very small clues......" said the maid, the maid sighed, "but it doesn't understand a truth, 'do more wrong', its sentence is too redundant! If it weren't for that sentence, maybe I wouldn't have thought of it!"

Hearing this, Cervantes took a breath of wonder and asked suspiciously: "So, why did that Taling deceive us? Didn't the three boxes detect it before? It was used to store information, but the three boxes are all here with us, could it be that it can also communicate with the people of the omniscient eye in advance, and carry out some cover-up actions? But if that's the case, shouldn't the signals sent out be able to be captured by us?"

"I don't know why it deceived us, even if we were a bunch of 'intruders' to it at that time, but this calculation was meaningless to a bunch of intruders. The maid frowned and shook her head, "But now we can know that it didn't tell us the truth from the beginning, so it may have given the 'calculations' to the omniscient eye long ago." ”

The black dragon's breath faltered, "This, is this possible?"

"I don't know, but judging by the current situation, this is the most likely one!" said Selina with a heavy sigh.
