Chapter 750: The Old Kingdom
Godene trusts Xavier, and also trusts the reliable heroes that Xavier trusts.
"The situation was urgent before, and I didn't have time to explain some things to you in detail."
Godini took off her glasses and wiped the lenses, then told the group of travelers her guess.
Godine is a playwright who has read a lot of opera works and historical texts in order to write scripts. She knows some knowledge that most Fontaine people are not interested in knowing.
The town of Petrich was originally the birthplace of a powerful civilization led and developed by a demon god, called the Lemurian civilization.
At that time, the Fontaine people were scattered in the mountains and plains and were still in the primitive tribal stage, while the Lemurians had already built a glorious civilization and had the ability to manipulate golems.
The Lemurians pointed their swords at the Fontaine people, "In the beautiful golden country, the weak, ignorant and barbaric will never be tolerated or protected. Either surrender or perish!"
The battle between the two parties with such a huge disparity in combat power should have been one-sided, but it was reversed because of the appearance of the Pure Water Knight.
Su: "Pure Water Knight? The Pure Water Elves have changed their jobs to become knights?"
Godini explained: "The Pure Water Knight is the most respected human in the history of Fontaine. The Thousand Spirits Festival was established to commemorate the Pure Water Knight who searched for the Pure Water Spirit and brought back the Water Goddess Egolia according to the legend."
After receiving divine inspiration, the original Pure Water Knights gathered the scattered tribes to fight against the Lemurians. They seized the opportunity of the rebellion in Lemuria, and finally won the victory and established the present Fontaine.
Su was not very interested in the history of the Fontaine War. "You mentioned so many previous events, what is the specific connection with the current situation?"
Godini's eyes were stern. "Those residents who were trapped in the hallucinations were playing the role of Lemurians! I guess it was the evil spirits of Lemuria buried in the castle under the sea. Because of their obsession, they crawled out from the depths of the Styx and invaded the bodies of the living! They tried to subvert the current Fontaine!"
Godini gave an example to prove her guess, "The Lemurians are very passionate about music. The title of Tuner is exactly what the high-ranking Lemurians can get!"
"When I rescued you from the crazy residents, I pretended to be a subordinate of Boethius. This Boethius is the Lemurian major lawyer recorded in the history of Fontaine!"
"I see." Su took out two stacks of talismans, "Exorcism, right? Why didn't you say it earlier? It's easy!"
The Traveler Team went out and captured an unfortunate resident who happened to be passing by.
As the dispelling talisman was thrown at the other person, the red light lingering on the other person's head immediately dissipated, and the person fell to the ground with a thud.
Paimon: "Successful?"
"Something happened." A strange voice interrupted: "His soul was taken away by the great music."
"Who are you?!" Everyone stared at the cat that suddenly appeared and spoke human language.
Kong remembered that when Su destroyed the stone statue before, a cat appeared and ran away. It seemed to be the cat in front of him wearing a gold collar inlaid with gems.
Godene's eyes changed, "Lord Cassiodoro, I will take care of your old enemy..."
"Calm down, Godini, think about your family and friends who are waiting for you." The cat who was maliciously targeted was very calm. The pearly notes floated down to Godini and brought her back to her senses.
Ge Dani came back to her senses, "Could it be that you have helped me stay awake these days...?"
"Go to a safe place, Godene," the cat nodded and looked at the traveler team, "The next events and secrets will be entrusted to the heroes."
The cat calls himself Ulan Yidai of Ullanorpolis, the guardian of the old kingdom.
"Wulan... um..." Paimon had no way of repeating such a long and difficult to pronounce name, so he decisively gave the cat a more convenient nickname "Xiao Wus".
"Why not call it Little Pushchi?" Su took out a bag of dried fish. "Pushchi, there are delicious things inside."
Little Wus finished eating the dried fish happily before reacting and said awkwardly: "It seems that I can't control this body well enough, so I occasionally show the original habits of the creature..."
"Ahaha," Sue announced triumphantly, "you've swallowed my special poison! If you don't tell me the truth, you'll die from the poison!"
Little Wus felt and checked his physical condition, shook his head and sighed: "What a vigilant and resourceful hero. All right, I will tell you the truth now."
Paimon nervously tugged at the girl's wrist and asked her quietly, "Su, did you really poison me?" Where did the poison come from? This is too dangerous to play with!
Su replied with his eyes, "No, I cheated him." However, this guy's body would be controlled by the dried fish made by Kong. In this situation, it would be easy to deal with the unknown abnormal guy if you know his weakness.
Little Woos said that his duty was to monitor and guard the ruins of the former country of Lemuria to prevent the old souls who fell into the deep water from returning to the earth and causing trouble.
The residents of Petliko Town were hypnotized to acquire their old identities and memories, and after reaching a certain level, their consciousness or soul would be completely taken away and integrated into the grand symphony.
It was the Great Music again, and Sora thought of the dream, "What exactly is the Great Music?"
"It's a bit difficult to explain, but it can be roughly understood as a concept of a community with a shared destiny." Little Wus gestured to the Traveler Team to follow him, "We don't have much time. If we don't reverse the disordered melody as soon as possible, Fontaine will be swallowed up by war sooner or later."
Su did not move, "What does that have to do with us? We can just go to Fontaine to report the news, and let the people of Fontaine solve the troubles of Fontaine themselves."
This was neither a mission clearly priced by the Adventurer's Association nor a request from a friend. They had done their best by taking Godini away and informing the Fontaine officials.
By coming to Fontaine and resonating with the water statue, their mission was half completed. The remaining half was to find clues about their sister's deeds and have fun traveling and shopping.
Paimon: "Little Wus, you said it was a war. Three people and a cat are getting involved in such a dangerous thing..."
Although Sora wanted to help, he also respected his friends' wishes.
Little Wus stopped and looked at the three members of the Traveler Team with one gold eye and one blue eye.
"I have seen your strength. I can't do anything to you in normal situations. If you encounter an extremely dangerous situation, I will protect you even if it costs my life."
Paimon couldn't bear to look at Maomao's pleading eyes any longer, "Little Wus said so..."
Kong also relaxed and advised: "The situation is urgent right now, let's try it first, if it doesn't work..." They immediately sailed away.
All eyes were focused on the girl, waiting for her to make the final decision.
Little Wus thought about it and simply made a promise, "Although the old kingdom has become a ruin, there are still some valuable antiques."
Su nodded, understanding the cat's hint, "I understand. I am the new heir to the wealth of the old kingdom! Little Wus leads the way, let's go."
