526 Investigation
Prometheus was clearly confused.
However, the Great Lord spoke directly to Prometheus in a rather low and sincere tone, “Can I take up a little of your time?”
“Great Lord, please feel free to ask me anything.”
Prometheus nodded.
“I now seriously suspect that the Knights of the Round Table reached the demigod realm thanks to the assistance of someone, or multiple people, within the Elder Council.”
“Recently, I have found some clues regarding the Knights of the Round Table, and need your help to investigate this matter. It is regarding the place where the Knights of the Round Table likely obtained the key to reaching the demigod realm.”
When Prometheus heard the Great Lord’s words, he was a little surprised.
“You actually investigated this matter secretly?”
A smile appeared on the Great Lord’s face.
“That’s right, after all, our moon god race has already lost this many people.”
“Furthermore, you heard the Elder Council’s stance just now. They’re still thinking about the safety of the other races in this situation?”
“What kind of hypocrisy is this?”
“Could it be that the lives of the other races matter more than the lives of our own citizens?”
“Those old fogeys have completely lost the plot!”
“As I said, from my recent investigation, I discovered the area where the Knights of the Round Table may have obtained clues to reaching the demigod realm, which was to kill their own jinxes.”
He then looked closely at Prometheus.
“Unfortunately, due to my position, I am unable to leave the moon god race to investigate personally.”
“Thus, I hope you can go in my stead and investigate that area.”
“Perhaps we can find some clues from that place, and perhaps even prove that it was the work of the Elder Council.”
“If we can do so, then we can use the laws to remove them from their positions, and finally act to save our citizens.”
Prometheus understood and nodded.
He also agreed with the Great Lord’s words.
Usually, Prometheus would not accept such private requests.
However, considering that this involved the fate of the moon go race, he had to help.
After exchanging some information with the great Lord, Prometheus immediately headed to the area mentioned by the Great Lord to investigate.
…
The current situation of the myriad races was pretty much a disaster. Like the moon god race, they had lost many of their people.
As the moons continued to fall, it released more and more of the locked up Heavenly Dao, and caused more conflicts to break out among the myriad races.
The ground below glowed red thanks to the spread of the red fog. By the moon god race’s estimation, the number of myriad races had already been halved and wiped out.
From this, one could imagine just how many people had died in this war. The entire world had descended into chaos thanks to the war between the moon god race and the Knights of the Round Table.
Therefore, from the perspective of an objective bystander, the Knights of the Round Table had truly done something terrible.
However,…
If one looked at this matter from the perspective of the Knights of the Round Table, they would see the world as sick, and these conflicts as birthing pains that heralded the arrival of a new world.
Sacrifices needed to be made to restore the world to its proper state. Life would follow death, and the world would recover eventually. In any case, the Knights of the Round Table had already made the decision to all commit suicide after this war was over to appease the public.
This would also provide room for future generations to sprout and grow.
As for that red fog, the Knights of the Round Table did not know what it was, but believed that it was a sign of the revival of the world.
Thus, the current situation was quite complicated. Various forces were fighting each other, and no one knew just how long this war would last. Countless people died in battle everyday.
On the other hand, the human race’s current situation was still quite good.
Thanks to Yuchi’s token, all of the other races around the human race were now living in peace.
Unless one of them reached the demigod realm, none of them would dare to challenge the authority of a demigod. Thus, even though they were eyeing the human race greedily, they were still able to smile and greet the other races cordially in this region, which felt rather weird.
