Chapter 555: The Beginning (II)
"Ahem, ahem......"
Ruerno's face changed suddenly, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth.
After coughing, he only glanced at the bright red blood in his palm, and then looked at Skotaver, his eyes full of solemnity.
"Tell me, Skotave, how did you find out about this!"
Ruerno did not directly ask what the situation was, he wanted to determine the accuracy of the news!
“...... My brother, Anatoly, led the Blue Dragon Clan from the direction of the Stars and the Bright Moon Forest into the continent of Slo Mendes, which borders the Black Forest. Skotaver's face was calm and his tone was flat.
But it was this sentence that made Ruerno's heart turbulent.
Anatoly, the rotating patriarch of the Blue Dragon Clan, is also the elder brother of Skotaver.
As the liaison between the Blue Dragon Clan and the Kurkut Empire, Skotav is able to get a lot of information and will hand over that news to them in a timely manner, which is a transaction between the Empire and the Blue Dragon Clan.
Not every blue dragon obeys the orders of the Blue Dragon Clan, but just like other dragons, even the white dragons, they recognize the existence of the 'clan'.
But this doesn't mean anything, Anatoly led the Blue Dragon Clan from the Starry and Bright Moon Forest into the most strange point, after all, these dragons cooperated with their Kurkut Empire, and among the nobles of the Empire, I am afraid that many nobles secretly owned elven slaves - even if those nobles had been warned many times by them, openly and secretly.
"Proof. ”
After some thought, Ruerno calmed down again, and would no longer make his already weak body even weaker due to excitement because of the blue dragon's words.
"The Severed Finger Strait has been completely cut off - by monsters from the Inland Sea. Skotaugh recounted the information his brother had told him.
Ruerno was silent for a moment and took a deep breath, "Really...... The monsters of the Inland Sea have come to the 'Open Sea'. ”
His brow furrowed, lost in thought.
The open sea is relative to the 'inland sea', and the two continents of Slo Mendes are connected only by the Severed Finger Strait in the east, and everything else is not bordered.
The Inland Sea split the continent of Slo Mendes in half, and the capital of the Arcane Empire was set up on several islands in the Inland Sea, and the Grand Arcanists later transformed those islands into floating cities, but they never moved the islands.
Originally, the Astral Passage was only a 'limited use' of the Astral Passage by the Arcane Empire, but before being expelled from the world of Asatom, they completely opened the Astral Passage and destroyed the Limiter, and because the gods at that time had been swept away from the mortal world, and could not use the divine power stored in the Kingdom of God to seal it.
By the time the gods had mastered the technology of the Holy City and were able to reconnect to the kingdom of the gods, they would no longer be able to enter the Inland Sea area, which had become extremely dangerous, and even the gods would be in danger of dying if they entered it rashly.
The gods were only able to add a seal to the inner and outer perimeter and reinforce the seal that had been placed.
But now it seems that the seal that has been held for more than 800 years is gradually crumbling, and the speed of disintegration is becoming faster.
Before Ruerno fell unconscious, the seal of the gods had already begun to disintegrate at an accelerated pace, compared to more than eight hundred years before, the speed was already much faster, but now it is still speeding up.
Ruerno Luches conservatively estimates that it will only be ten years at most before they will have to face the official collapse of the 'Seal of the Gods'.
"Other than that, does it have any effect on us?"
After a moment of thought, Rourno asked another crucial question.
Not to 'Sloe Mendes', but to 'us' - to 'Empire'!
"I don't know anything else, but ......"
With a movement of Skotave's index finger, a soft breeze echoed through the closed room, and Ruerno was slightly sluggish, but when he felt the breeze on his face, his pupils shrank.
"Magic ......" muttered, and Ruerno let out a long breath with a complicated expression, "Has it affected this yet?"
"I've already told Charlemagne and Elba about it, and I'm going to tell Donald Mueller, but he doesn't have the authority to know about it now. ”
Ruerno looked at Skotave's still calm face and pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
He had just woken up from a coma, but he had encountered such an incident that it seemed that he had not even had time to rest......
"Haven't you found Yegor yet?"
Ruerno didn't continue on the subject, it was a nuisance, he had just been awake for a short time, and he needed to get some rest.
"The guy who caused you to fall unconscious?" Scottave raised an eyebrow and shook his head, "I didn't get any news from Charlemagne, I guess not." ”
"Really......"
Ruerno nodded, closed his eyes, and half-lay on the bed on the pillow, and suddenly the room fell silent.
“...... The All-Seeing Eye. ”
Skotaff heard Rulno's voice and looked blankly, "What?"
"Is it the All-Seeing Eye?" said to himself as if he hadn't heard the blue dragon's voice.
The All-Seeing Eye...... Skotaugh thought back to where he had heard the name......
"Trouble...... "Rulno Luches sighed.
Even he, the chief court mage of the Kurkut Empire, would find it tricky for the 'All-Seeing Eye', because just about a year and a half ago, several archmages of the Mor Mercantile Federation defected, and while there was not enough evidence to suggest that they were part of the 'All-Seeing Eye', the answer was basically the same.
They don't know when the 'All-Seeing Eye' came to be, but like most secret societies, it's like a parasite, inhabiting nations and organizations.
Unlike the Dragonwitch Cult and other secret societies that have little power in the world of Assatom, the Omniscient Eye seems to have something to do with the Arcane Empire, but no one knows exactly what it is.
Like the Dragon-Hunting Order, they are secretly digging up the ruins of the Arcane Empire, as if trying to do something, but they don't have a strong purpose, making it difficult to guess what they really think.
The Dragon Witch Cult is suppressed by the Dragon Hunter Order, and is like a lost dog in the world of Athatom, so it is not very powerful, but there has been no conflict between the Omniscient Eye and the Dragon Hunting Order - even if they are both digging up the remains of the Arcane Empire, so they generally think that there is a connection between the Omniscient Eye and the Dragon Hunting Order.
However, since these two organizations are not organizations like the Dragon Witch Cult that will kill innocents everywhere, the reputation of these two organizations is not as great as that of the Dragon Witch Cult, and among the people, even some poor people have heard of the reputation of the Dragon Witch Cult, but not many people know about the Dragon Hunting Cult and the All-Seeing Eye.
It is said that most of the high-ranking members of the omniscient eye are mages, and there are not many members they have in various countries, including low, middle, and even high-level members.
So Ruerno took advantage of the suspicion of the omniscient eye, which seemed very similar to their style.
"It's a pity for Yegor......," Ruerno looked calm, not annoyed by his injuries.
On the contrary, he thinks that Yegor has served the Empire for so many years, has lived here for so many years, but has not thought about the Empire, and did not hesitate to do it, which is really a bit sad.
Maybe Yegor has his own ideas, he has a strong will, but that is not for the Kurkut Empire, then for Rurno, it is meaningless.
"I'm going to rest......"
Ruerno lay down again and closed his eyes.
The blue dragon bowed his head and got up and left the room.
