Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 365 Some Legends

"First of all, I am not a professional historian of the Southern Continent. My knowledge of the Southern Continent is limited to what I have learned from the oral accounts of the Southern Continent slaves I captured and some oral materials passed down within the sect."

Tracy thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I'm just taking it as a reference." Adele nodded, indicating that she didn't mind.

After all, after spending more time with higher-level beings, Adele has now adapted to the way many Riddlers speak. Even if Tracy is vague about her words, she has other ways to verify them.

Of course, there are many times when higher-ups are not trying to hide things on purpose, but in their eyes, many prerequisites are common sense that do not require additional explanation, and actively asking is not a wise choice.

Hearing Adele's affirmative answer, Tracy took a sip of the Teyana juice she had just bought at a roadside stall and began to organize her words to describe:
"I'm afraid you won't want to hear about things in prehistoric times. After all, this is not an archaeology paper, so I think it's better to start from the time of the Four Emperors' War."

"How much do you know about the War of the Four Emperors?" Tracy asked before she started to tell the story, so as to avoid spending a lot of time talking about things that Adele already knew.

"I don't know much, I just know that it was a war for believers." Adele tried to recall, "The six gods at that time were dissatisfied with Emperor Solomon occupying all the faiths, so they launched the First War of Faith. They conspired to kill the Black Emperor Solomon at that time, and instructed the two archons at that time to divide up his body. Their names were Tudor and Trunsoest, who later became the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor."

"Later, Solomon was reborn with the help of his own strange sequence characteristics and became the Black Emperor again, taking back his authority; the six gods at that time supported the Night Emperor and turned to the 'Judge' path."

"With nowhere else to go, Alistair Tudor, with the help of several Angel Kings, plotted to murder the angels of the three families of Soren, Einhorn, and Medici who were in charge of the Hunter Path at the time, and forcibly jumped to the non-adjacent Red Priest Path, becoming the 'Blood Emperor' later."

"The Black Emperor Solomon, the Night Emperor Trunsoest, the Blood Emperor Alistair Tudor, and the Hades Emperor Salinger fought a war in the Northern Continent for decades. In the end, the Black Emperor and the Blood Emperor fell, and the Night Emperor occupied the Northern Continent and established the Trunsoest Empire. The Hades Emperor gained the greatest benefit, allowing the Balam Empire to unify the entire Southern Continent."

Adele finished her words in one breath, waiting for Tracy to add to her comments.

"You know a lot." Tracy listened quietly, exhaled, and smiled softly: "Then I will start from the back."

She removed a strand of hair that had fallen to her mouth and began to narrate:

"About a hundred years after the establishment of the Trunsost Empire, the God of Death had already unified the entire southern continent, but for some reason he went half crazy and supported Chike's promotion to the 'Original Witch', which triggered the prelude to the Pale Disaster in the northern continent."

"Before that, there was only the Balam Empire in the southern continent, which was governed by the child of the God of Death, the 'Archon of Death'. At that time, the 'Original Witch' was just an angel under the throne of the God of Death. It was not until the Pale Disaster that she had the opportunity to become a true god."

Tracy smiled self-deprecatingly, as if she felt that it was an offense for her as a former orthodox member of the witch sect to talk about the original witch in such a tone.

"This information can be seen in many relief murals on the southern continent. At that time, they were not like the Seven Gods today. In order to prevent the people's beliefs from being swayed by the level of carrier production, they announced that they only had the image of the holy emblem. Therefore, we can see in many murals that the 'Original Witch' appeared as the second seat at the banquet of the God of Death many times."

"However, the Hades Emperor and the Primordial Witch at that time did not expect that the half-crazy Hades Emperor could actually force the seven discordant gods to fully unite for the first time and kill the Hades Emperor. The Primordial Witch hid deep in the astral world, and the belief in the God of Death in the southern continent lost its monopoly."

Hearing this, Adele's expression gradually became serious, because she knew that it was almost time for the modern era.

"At the beginning of the Fifth Era, the Bound God appeared and created the Rose School. With the school as the core, he established the Highland Kingdom. This kingdom lasted until 428 AD, when the 'evil god' Sua was born, breaking the balance of the Rose School. The Hedonistic Faction overwhelmed the Temperance Faction, and the Highland Kingdom was destroyed soon after."

Tracy continued to explain that this knowledge, which was priceless in the outside world, was nothing more than a holy book to the members of the Witch Sect, and they could use it at will when preaching.

——After all, there is a lot of cooperation between witches and the mysterious forces of the Death Path, so it is natural for them to know some of each other's secrets.

"In the 621-642 of the Fifth Era, the Twenty Years' War broke out between Loen and Feysac. Loen lost Sonia Island and almost lost its radiation effect on the southern continent. It was not until the White Rose War that it defeated Intis and controlled the current East Balam area."

"Therefore, the religious beliefs of the Southern Continent are actually quite complex. Not only do they retain the beliefs in a variety of natural spirits and ancestral spirits, but there are also believers in various gods such as the 'Original Witch', the 'God of Death', the 'God of Steam and Machinery', the 'Bound God', the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom'. Among them, the believers of the 'God of Knowledge and Wisdom' and the 'God of Steam and Machinery' are particularly numerous."

"There are many believers of the God of Steam and Machinery because this place was once colonized by Intis. Then why do the believers of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom still account for such a large proportion here?" Adele asked puzzledly.

"It all started with the Oath Breaking War in 738."

Tracy explained slowly, "Fenetport originally believed in both the gods of earth and knowledge. However, under the instigation of Loen and Intis, a war broke out under the pretext of protecting religious freedom. The countries of Lunburg, Masi, and Segar, which are located at the border between Loen and Fenetport, Intis and Fenetport, became independent and believed in the god of knowledge and wisdom."

"Some of these believers were sent by Intis to places like Lenburg to incite sentiment. However, these knowledge believers did not stay in Lenburg because there was no place for them there. Intis eventually secretly relocated them to the colonies of the southern continent, where they left a profound impact."

"Most of the anomalies you see here are likely related to them."
