In the study room, Ganon received the reply from Patriz that Isbel handed over, skipped the previous pleasantries, and quickly browsed the useful information:

"There is a legend recorded in the ancient books of the elves. In the era when the high elves and the wood elves still belonged to the same country, the king of the elves was summoned by the main god and summoned a group of strong men to follow the footsteps of the gods in the north of the continent.

Hundreds of years later, the succeeding Elf Queen saw in the crystal left by the former king the scene of a tower breaking in the drastic change. Then several treasures left by the former king turned into supreme artifacts at the same time.

After the fall of the elves' empire, many historical books were burned to the ground, resulting in the loss of many historical records. Some of the remaining records were difficult to prove. It was also difficult to determine the authenticity of this legend.

The temple you occupy may have a special meaning, so do not use it to do evil.

I have no idea about the druid you mentioned.

But from your description, I am reminded of a cult that was popular in mainland China fifty years ago. It used Druidism as a guise to worship a god named 'The Holy Mother of Healing', and it emerged in all human countries. It also affected the Federation of Elements.

Their pastors used it as a gimmick to heal people from all kinds of diseases, which attracted a large number of believers and became very popular for a while.

At that time, the Holy Religion held a dominant position in all human countries. Later, the Papal State judged the sect to be a cult, claiming that the sect used magic and medicine to relieve pain for patients with serious sequelae, but had no actual effect in curing the disease. After that, the sect disappeared. You can check on your own to see if there is any connection..."

Seeing this, Ganon suddenly frowned.

There is no content underneath. Although it is not that obvious, it can be seen that the bottom of the letter paper seems to have been torn.

He looked at Isabel suspiciously, and Isabel looked away as if nothing had happened.

"You tore part of the letter? What's written underneath? Hand it over quickly!" Ganon glared at Isabel sternly.

"No." Israel opened her eyes and lied, "This is what the letter was like."

"The princess of Mu Xia was so careless in writing the letter that she even forgot to sign it?" Ganon glared at Isabel seriously, "What's the content behind it? Tell me quickly, don't make me angry!"

It was important information, and he would not allow the other party to fool around with him on such a matter.

"There's really nothing useful behind this! It's nothing." Israel muttered, reluctantly handing over the torn piece of paper.

Ganon took it and looked at it, and there was only one paragraph left on it:

"In addition, I hope you will still abide by the original agreement, maintain a sound relationship with Bei Er, and guide her to the right path as much as possible."

Then there's the signature "Patrice Sparkle."

"Don't do this kind of thing next time." Ganon patted Isbell on the forehead, and then asked her, "How much do you know about the two things mentioned in your mother's letter?"

"I've never heard of it. After the fall of the Midsummer Dynasty of the elves, the high elves and the wood elves separated. A lot of history disappeared in the turmoil, and some of the remaining records are also very incomplete. This kind of history that is difficult to say is true or false is basically The teacher will not let me learn it. As for the Holy Mother Healing Cult, I have never heard of it. At least I can be sure that this thing did not appear in late summer." Isbell replied.

Ganon thought for a while, then turned to the waiting stone and ordered: "Go and call all the members over."

After a while, under Shi Shi's notice, Anya and Zhenna came to the study one after another.

"Where are the Mora people?" Ganon asked.

"I went fishing by the river. I've already gone to invite you on horseback." Shitou replied.

"Forget it, I guess she doesn't know anything." Ganouen shook his head, and then explained the new information obtained from Patriz to Anya and Zhenna.

"The legend about the gods summoning brave men to go to the north of the continent... Nitrilan also has it. I'm not sure if it's true or not. But we haven't heard of that Holy Mother Cult. The labyrinth's intelligence network is very wide, but they can't inquire about everything. , at least it doesn’t sound directly related to us. But since this sect will be denounced by the Papal States, it must not be an ordinary thing." Anya answered.

"What does this mean?" Ganon asked doubtfully.

"Isn't there a paladin here? You can just ask her for advice." Anya pointed to Zhenna.

Ganon turned his head and looked at Zhenna.

"It's just the opposite here. I don't have any clue about that legend. But about the Order of Our Lady of Healing, I happened to hear Bishop Marcel mention it in a class on heretical religions. The content is basically consistent with what Princess Mu Xia said. , which also means that this sect is a group of liars. In fact, it uses magic and medicine to relieve pain for patients. Not only can it not cure the disease, it will also delay the disease." Zhenna replied, "But in fact, everyone can see it. The actual situation must be It’s not that simple.”

Ganon frowned in confusion.

Seeing that he knew so little about the civilized world, Anya sighed and reminded: "If you think about it carefully, they are not cheating in the name of the Holy Religion. Why does the Papal State spend so much effort to deal with a group of liars?" ? Just leave it to the security agencies of various countries to catch it. Why should you personally list it as a target for elimination like the undead and abyssal beliefs?"

"Understood." Ganon nodded, allowing the Papal State to personally classify him as a heretic, indicating that this sect at least made the Holy Church feel some kind of threat, "Then what did the Papal State investigate?"

"Besides this superficial statement, there is no other information." Zhenna shook her head, "But it is enough to explain the problem. It shows that the Papal State not only mobilized the crusade against this sect, but also sealed the files about it. But from this sect Judging from how quickly the group disappeared, it may have been eradicated by the Holy Cult soon."

"It's also possible that they disbanded themselves when they discovered the danger." Anya suggested another possibility.

"There is another possibility..." Ganon's face turned serious, "It just changed its organizational form and hid it."

If the Druid is related to the curious woman in the stone memory fragment who resembles the portrait of the Earth Mother, and at the same time to the Healing Mother Cult, that means that the enemies of the Endless Tower were fifty years ago , has already started taking action.

The door of the study room was suddenly pushed open, and Mo La walked into the study carelessly: "What's wrong? What's going on? I just made a nest yesterday, and I'm preparing to have a good fishing today!"

"You are really leisurely." Anya couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.

It was obviously Mo La and Ganon who wanted to kill Grand Duke Xihe, but it was her and her subordinates who were busy working on this matter.

"It's not time to take it easy. Although the information is still a little bit lacking, I'm afraid we have to take some risks to resolve this matter." Ganon said seriously.

"What do you mean?" Mo La raised her eyebrows.

"Let's set off for the Principality of Xihe." Ganon nodded.
