Chapter 403: Centaur Clues
Chapter 403: Centaur Clues
"Your Highness, didn't you come to the underground to look for traces of the Centaurs? I heard from Norma that there are already clues about that tribe." Kolebash said.
"Yes, but not much." Ivan said truthfully, and then he changed the subject: "Wait a little longer, I suddenly feel that there is no need to rush. I can eat and drink well here, and I can also exchange academic ideas with Jenny. It's great."
This is not the answer Kohler Bassi wants.
"It seems that the Holy Son is dissatisfied with the temple."
"No." Ivan pretended to be confused, then suddenly realized: "I understand, the high priest is blaming me for not fulfilling my duties as a son of God, otherwise I will call Norma now and let her go with me to visit other tribes."
Kolebash was speechless, she knew very well that the man in front of her was pretending to be stupid.
After a pause, she had no choice but to take the initiative to bring it up.
"Wizard Ivan."
"High Priest, please speak."
"Then I'll be frank. You can raise any requests you have. As long as they are not excessive, we will do our best to satisfy them. Take your things and continue your journey. Don't stay in the Komor Empire for too long."
Now it was Ivan's turn to be speechless.
It was the first time that he was so blatantly disliked by someone, but seeing the high priest's helpless look, he found it a little funny.
It was true that the Silver Moon Blade was half-broken, but the others did not know that and simply regarded it as a gift from the Mother Goddess of Darkness. Naturally, they were restricted in how they dealt with it. Although they clearly did not like it, they could not take any tough measures.
You can imagine how depressing it is!
"The high priest really wants this wizard to leave?"
"That's right. The night elves really can't tolerate a male saint. If you stay here for too long, it will affect the original order of the empire."
"You are the one who conferred the title of Holy Son. I have already told you my request, but you used some specious information to fool me. I have no choice but to wait."
"We were negligent before. Now we have prepared everything properly. We just need to wait for the Holy Son to call us, and all the necessary items will be delivered immediately."
Kolebashy said in a deep voice, she was obviously well prepared.
Ivan stretched out his hand and motioned for her to quickly deliver the things. Although he wanted to explore the Komor Empire, the other party had already expressed his disapproval to his face, so he didn't have to stay.
Kolebashy didn't move, as if she had something to say but didn't know where to start.
"Jenny will stay in the Comor Empire." Ivan was a smart man. He certainly knew what the other party was thinking and said it lightly.
"Holy Son, please wait a moment. The things will be delivered soon." A huge stone fell from Kolebashy's heart.
This was the answer she wanted. Even her steps became lighter as she left the flower hall. As long as she got rid of this guy, the Saint's mission would be successfully concluded.
Within two hours, a large amount of items and information were carried into a secret room in the Holy Son's Palace. Boxes of various sizes were delivered one after another, almost filling the entire room.
Ivan even suspected that the night elves had robbed the centaurs.
Kolebasi told him that these were all the things related to centaurs from various tribes, which had been collected for him, and also told him a bad news.
The Centaurs have vanished.
More than 1,400 years ago, the Centaurs were active in the Western Territory, but were attacked by multiple forces due to some incidents. After this battle, there was no definite news about the Centaurs.
There are quite a few rumors.
Some people said that the Centaurs fled to the North, some said that the Centaurs were kept in captivity, and some said that they went deeper underground, etc. As for where the Centaurs are now, the Komor Empire really doesn't know, as it has been too long and there is no way to find out.
Ivan believed these words for the time being.
After all, the terrain of the underground world is far more complicated than that of the surface. In addition to the main continent divided into four regions of east, west, south and north, there are also many areas that can only be entered through secret passages, and no one knows which mountain wall these areas are hidden behind.
When the Centaurs encountered the catastrophe, if they had found a secret place like this to hide and never left the main continent again, it would have been very difficult for others to find them.
After a long time, it will be forgotten or even disappear in some corner.
In the underground world, many races that once flourished ended up like this, and the Centaurs were just one of them.
"Kaka."
After everyone else left, Ivan flicked his hand, and the box in front of him slowly opened, revealing the items inside.
The first box contained a special tome written in the language of the Centaurs, a language that was closely related to the Tidal language.
The second box contained a set of rough-style armor, similar to the one Helen was wearing, but more than twice as large. The entire set of armor seemed to be a collection of a noble, well-maintained and shiny, and filled with a fragrance.
The third box was larger and heavier, and inside it was a stone chair that looked like a throne.
"I was wondering why the material looked so familiar. It turns out to be a magic-binding stone. Its power of confinement is not as strong as the one Kolebasi gave me. Centaurs are equivalent to knights, and magic-binding stones will not suppress fighting spirit. Such a throne is quite complementary."
"It seems that the night elves really participated in the extermination of the centaurs. I don't know whether they are the main force or just adding insult to injury."
He opened the boxes one by one, and found all kinds of things inside, including knight's lances, iron stone seals, black copper candlesticks, purple gems, crystal statues, etc., and there were also many horseshoe carvings.
Centaurs seem to enjoy using their excess hoof horns as carving material.
What made Ivan depressed was that these night elves had cleaned the spoils countless times. They had cleaned everything that could be cleaned and sprinkled fragrant floral dew on them from time to time. It was impossible for him to find any additional traces.
After some investigation, he focused his attention on the classics.
With his reading speed, he finished reading a box of books very quickly. These were miscellanies, poems, chronicles, notes, etc. written by Centaurs about the Centaurs. Then he started to read the next box of books.
"Seven Gods Mountain?"
The owners of these books are obviously not the same person, or even from the same period.
Ivan discovered that a noun appeared frequently between the lines - the Seven Mountains. Some Centaurs also called it the 'Mountain of God', 'Holy Mountain', 'Golden Mountain', and 'Mountain of Life'.
There is a subtle implication in the classics that only the Centaurs who reach the top of the Seven Sacred Mountains have the potential to become the Knight King.
"The Centaurs have an ancestral land underground? Aren't Centaurs a surface race?"
"Could it be that the Centaurs are actually an underground race that simply migrated to the surface and then returned to the underground?"
Ivan's doubts were soon answered from the classics. The Centaurs were indeed an underground race, but when the race was flourishing, an important branch failed in the struggle for power and had to move to the surface.
After several years, that branch returned to the ground again.
In fact, the Centaurs do not like to migrate, but have been looking for a passage back underground.
Three days passed in a flash. Ivan read all the books from beginning to end twice and found clues about the Seven Sacred Mountains among the complicated information. The clues pointed to a place in the west - Panti Mountain.
