Restarting the myth.

Chapter 304 The Big Secret

The Red Leaf Forest Asylum is located northwest of the outskirts of Lundang.

Drive out of the city highway and turn into the tree-lined path. After 50 kilometers, you can see the towering walls of the asylum. The four watchtowers are equipped with night searchlights and have signs indicating a military restricted area. The defense is extremely tight.

There are three checkpoints for identity checks alone, and each level requires strict inspection of vehicles entering and leaving, such as the trunk and chassis, to prevent the possibility of patients escaping.

In fact, it is easy for a magician to become a Forgotten One. All he needs to do is learn more and break his own balance.

It is difficult to transform from a Forgotten into a normal magician.

Therefore, there are more people entering than exiting the Hongyelin Mental Asylum, and there are few successful cases of treatment.

Even if he recovers, he will not be accepted by other magicians because of his criminal record and can only find a job in the mental hospital to continue staying.

In the past, when the Church of the Heavenly Father was at its peak, the Red Leaf Forest Insane Asylum was affiliated to the Inquisition in the Windsor Division, and the Church had the final say on who was crazy and who was not.

It is difficult to say whether this unspoken rule remains the same as it has been passed down to this day.

It is conceivable what the Red Leaf Forest Madhouse represents to a normal magician.

This is a taboo here. Receiving a flyer from a mental hospital is more terrifying than the tax department coming to your door.

Wayne drove to the Red Leaf Forest Asylum, and what he saw was an ancient castle surrounded by dense forests. There were eight floors deep underground, which detained a large number of Forgotten who had lost their minds.

Behind the castle is a row of wooden villas where doctors, nurses and other staff live.

The Red Leaf Forest Asylum is now owned by the Ministry of Magic in Windsor, but due to its unique value, the asylum does not entirely belong to Windsor. Several other churches have the right to appoint attending physicians.

As the dean and a legendary wizard, Planck manages this group of golden wizards on behalf of Windsor. Today, in order to express his welcome to his new colleagues, he specially held a small meeting to introduce his future colleagues to Wayne.

"This is the attending physician Brandon, from the Church of the Sun..."

"Chief physician Qian Ning, from the Moonlight Church..."

"Head Nurse Laurie, a nun from the Church of the Heavenly Father..."

Planck introduced them one by one, and Wayne shook hands with them continuously. In theory, these could all be considered his own people, but due to the special nature of the Red Leaf Forest, several golden wizards did not participate in the internal affairs of their respective churches.

Sidney was an exception before. The Church of Nature was the only dominant force in Windsor and maintained good relations with the royal family. In addition, Sidney's teacher, Marshall, the Lord of the Void, had a lot of connections in London when he was not crazy.

In short, although the Red Leaf Forest Asylum is not exclusively owned by the Windsor Ministry of Magic, it holds the power of personnel scheduling, and Planck can speak loudly here.

After the short meeting, several golden mages returned to their respective posts. They seldom left the asylum and had little contact with intelligence from the outside world, so they did not know Wayne.

Take Channing, the attending physician of the Moonlight Church, for example. All the silver mages who have some connections know that a guy named Wayne slept with the high priest. Channing is a gold mage and is not aware of this.

The other few people were the same. They didn't care about Wayne's background. They just welcomed the arrival of the new colleague perfunctorily and didn't even think about exchanging contact information.

Wayne saw it all and seriously suspected that this group of people were on the verge of a mental breakdown. After coming into contact with too many Forgotten Ones, they themselves were about to go crazy.

He glanced at Planck, suspecting that the old man had done something.

Gangplank has been studying the Forgotten, and the Fallen Golden Mage is undoubtedly the best experimental subject...

"Wayne, Auston borrowed a few patients from me before. After they were returned, these patients all showed abnormalities. Do you know what research Auston is doing?"

"I don't know. He is the head of the family. He can do whatever he wants and doesn't have to report to me." Wayne shrugged.

"Never mind. It's not important anyway."

Planck said this and took Wayne to the nurses' station on the first floor of the castle. He pointed at a little blonde girl and said happily, "She's a nun from the Church of the Heavenly Father. According to gossip, she's the illegitimate daughter of a certain bishop. Isn't it incredible that someone who doesn't like little boys can become a bishop?"

After saying this, he laughed again.

Wayne was not amused. This hell joke was already outdated. The devil was too lazy to use the little boy to attack the clergy because he could not laugh.

"Because she doesn't fit in and is afraid of being excluded, she can only be an illegitimate daughter."

Wayne complained and said, "Plank, you said you had a big secret to share, that's why I came to work in Red Leaf Forest."

If this was the big secret, he could only say it was just a joke.

Plank looked at Wayne. His stiff beard and unkempt white coat made him look particularly funny. In his hospital gown, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he looked like an old madman.

At this moment, Gangplank's expression was particularly solemn, as if it was time for a showdown: "Wayne, you are already a golden wizard. Your strength means you don't need to be afraid of legendary wizards. My ancient silver coins are all in your hands. Aren't you ready to share your secrets?"

Plank wanted to know what Wayne saw and what he got, and whether he could learn from Wayne.

In the past, Wayne played tricks on him, but he didn't care and never exposed him.

Not anymore.

Wayne has already gained a sense of security, but relatively speaking, his sense of security is becoming less and less. While everyone is on an equal footing, it is the best time to be honest with each other.

"Planck, what do you want to know?"

"To be precise, I don't want to know what I should know. I only have one idea, which is a very vague concept, balance..."

Planck changed his words to simple ones. He was familiar with the great prophet Tubie at the headquarters of the Church of Nature. Inspired by the great prophet, he became very interested in the way of balance in nature.

Also inspired by Tubie, he learned that the original Life Alliance had five major beliefs.

These five beliefs together represent life, the opposition between nature and death, the opposition between light and darkness, and they together constitute a whole - life.

The current Life Alliance cannot represent life. It lacks an opposite. Even if believers practice the three kinds of faith arts, it is difficult for them to obtain a complete life.

Planck practiced a lot of faith for this purpose. The more knowledge he mastered, the more ignorant he felt. In order to stabilize his own balance and because of strong desires, he began to believe in a little bit of everything.

He is probably the legendary wizard with the most chaotic beliefs in the Free Mage League.

Planck was deeply aware that his road had come to an end. If he continued to study, the balance in his body would collapse and he would become the next Marshall.

Marshall found himself again for unknown reasons, but Planck did not think he had such luck, so he stopped studying and placed the possibility of confirming the theory on Wayne.

Nature, sun, moonlight, darkness, death.

Planck provided all the knowledge related to faith, as well as the ancient silver coins, and now it is time to get back the investment returns.

Wayne looked strange. Gangplank's faith and knowledge were replaced by the artifacts of the Chosen Knights, and the ancient silver coins were replaced by the obelisk and the ancient silver coins of Orb. He had investments but they were not sole investors, and he did not get the majority. But he suddenly asked for profits...

It's not impossible. In the early days, Planck's ancient silver coins were indeed very useful and helped him successfully pass the Silver Cross stage.

"This is not the place to talk."

Wayne thought about it and decided to return Planck's profits according to the percentage of his investment.

Planck's eyes lit up with joy, and he walked quickly ahead to lead the way, taking Wayne to the eighth floor, the most dangerous floor in the entire Red Leaf Forest Asylum.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, there is nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, the eighth level was also the secret he was going to exchange.

……

The Red Leaf Forest Castle is eight stories underground. It was designed and built by the former Church of the Heavenly Father. The wealthy clergy spent a huge amount of money to build this wonder.

The space on each floor is extremely spacious, like an independent space. Looking up, you can see the sky, the tilted earth and ocean, and the boundless starry universe.

Although it is a magical creation, it is lifelike enough to be mistaken for the real thing.

Moreover, Wayne also smelled different law information in different celestial domes.

He asked curiously, "Planck, was the Red Leaf Forest really built by the Heavenly Father Church?"

"That's right. At that time, the Church of the Heavenly Father swept across the Chosen Continent. God is the Heavenly Father, and there is only the Heavenly Father. These are the spoils of the Church of the Heavenly Father." Planck murmured.

Just looking at the tip of the iceberg, the Red Leaf Forest Lunatic Asylum, one can imagine how glorious the Church of the Heavenly Father once was.

Wayne also thought that the Papal State was extremely rich, but the Church only gave the reincarnated angel a Holy Lance of Heaven and a sex pendant, which was really stingy.

I'm just a passerby, impartial. This is not a fair thing for Huang to do.

Hope it will be corrected soon!

The two went deep into the underground of the castle and quickly reached the lower level through the portal. When they arrived at the sixth floor, the living environment of the patients was not so optimistic.

The gorgeous sky is no longer there, replaced by cold stone walls. Narrow vents and scattered magic stones inject vitality and faint light into this place. The heavy and depressing atmosphere is palpable.

A sickly pale light lingered in the air, deepening the outlines of the surrounding shadows.

There are no clearly defined wards or dark rooms here; instead, the stone walls twist and extend, symbolizing the twisted mental maze of the Forgotten.

The smell of damp and mold is everywhere, occasionally accompanied by the heart-pounding sound of iron chains. Eerie whispers emanate from the depths of the maze. Walking here, every second is torture.

"Starting from the sixth floor, attending physicians can only enter in pairs with my permission. The forgotten people here cannot be saved. They have strong desires and will devour each other. They are called Void Wanderers in the magic world."

"They use themselves as the source of contamination, dragging the host into chaos through parasitism, devouring and merging with each other, becoming even more insane..."

"The pollution ability of the Wanderers is extremely strong, second only to the knowledge of the void and the flesh and blood of the star beasts. Silver mages are unable to resist their parasitic attack methods. Only the life barrier of the gold mages has this qualification."

Planck explained one by one that he was studying the Forgotten and Born was studying the giant beasts in the starry sky. There was a certain connection between their research and they often exchanged ideas, so they became very close.

"Wayne, the magic world calls the Forgotten and the Wanderers life forms that have evolved incorrectly. Bonn and I disagree. The Wanderers still have the potential to evolve. They can evolve into giant star beasts."

"This is an evolutionary route with a clear goal. Because the conditions are harsh and no one has discovered it yet, there are few successful cases, so it is mistakenly judged as a failed evolutionary route."

When talking about his research, Planck acted more like an old madman, which also confirmed Wayne's idea that legendary wizards are all more or less crazy.

Senna is like this, and so is Philomena. If he has to say something normal, Wayne can only name one.

Anastasia, the Saint of the Dark Church.

The dark-skinned elf has a strong sense of responsibility, is not afraid of sacrifice, sticks to his beliefs and dares to face the bleak life. His high moral standards make him one of the few people who allowed Wayne to temporarily avoid the limelight.

The two God-chosen knights, Mura and Leo, were too addicted to playing cards and were more or less involved in the evil drug of gambling, so they could not compete with the dark-skinned big sister.

Delain was even worse, her face was incredibly thick-skinned, which wasted her icy face.

The two of them continued to go deeper.

The seventh floor of the Red Leaf Forest Bunker is a dark place, very much like the dark realm created by the Golden Mage with his mind.

Planck explained: "On the sixth layer, we allow the wanderers to devour each other, and by studying their changes, we can find the possibility of this evolutionary path." "The seventh layer has nothing. It exists for only one purpose, to cut off the connection between the six layers above and the eighth layer."

Planck raised his eyebrows, very proudly: "Except for me, the dean, no one can enter the eighth floor. Although I am paid by the Ministry of Magic, I actually have connections with the Papal States, and they also send me money regularly."

"Because this insane asylum was built by the Church of the Heavenly Father, and their great secret is buried on the eighth floor?"

"The situation is rather complicated. It was indeed built by the Heavenly Father Church, but it used the faith magic of multiple churches. It does not only represent the secrets of the Heavenly Father Church."

After arriving at the eighth floor, Gangplank stopped riddling people and said bluntly: "The Heavenly Father Church has several heresy inquisitions similar to the Red Leaf Forest Madhouse in the Chosen Continent. Each one is supervised by a legendary wizard. They are not guarding the Forgotten, but this door on the eighth floor."

As Planck pointed his finger forward, the great secret of the eighth floor revealed its true face to Wayne.

This is a dark gate about a kilometer high, embedded in the dark space. The four sides are tightly closed and there is no mechanism to open it.

Around the gate, darkness was like thick ink, swallowing up all light and sound. In this boundless darkness, the gate looked particularly tall and heavy, with scratches, rust, and gnawing marks all over its surface.

The miserable appearance of it, leaking air like a rotten leaf, as if it would break if it was jumped or struck, made Wayne feel very uncomfortable.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder makes people feel very uncomfortable. Either something is broken or it is not broken. The dilemma is really disgusting.

You are broken!

"Planck, what's behind that door?"

"Skeleton restricted area!"

Gangplank said solemnly: "The Land of the Forgotten is also known as the Great Prison of the Forgotten!"

Wayne raised his eyebrows, he seemed to have heard this place name somewhere. If he remembered correctly, Austin once said that when Orb rebelled, he cast a projection barrier on the Ministry of Magic headquarters, and the projected space was the Forgotten Prison.

Wayne has experienced many projection spaces, the inner world of the mirror space, the land of the ancient gods' followers, and the life field of the legendary wizard can also be regarded as a partial projection of the void. Each one is extremely dangerous.

Especially in the lands of the ancient gods, without divine power of the Chosen Knight level, it would be in vain no matter how many people you go.

In other words, a plane that does not have sufficient strength and foundation is not worthy of being projected to the Chosen Continent.

Planck looked at the gate with full confidence. This was also the reason why he and Born firmly believed that the evolutionary route of the Forgotten - Wanderer - Star Beast was correct. The Skeleton Forbidden Zone was strong enough and qualified to support an evolutionary path.

"Ganck, are all the people imprisoned in the Forgotten Prison Forgotten?"

"Well, it's a place of exile, where crazy people who can't be saved are imprisoned. It's also a refuge, giving these crazy people time to calm down and sober up. Maybe they will become normal after going crazy for a while."

Gangplank stroked his stiff beard and said, "This is what the Vatican document says. The Land of the Forgotten was created by several demigods, or perhaps even more powerful angels. Out of pity, they provided a habitat for the homeless Forgotten."

"But according to my research, these are all lies. The Vatican deliberately distorted the facts. This prison is clearly Heaven's experimental base. They are also studying void life!"

Wayne paused when he heard this, thinking of the strange-looking angels and their huge numbers.

You know what, it's indeed possible.

"How is it, is this secret exciting?"

Planck winked and said, "Heaven also covets the power of the void. The truly eternal and great life has always been in the void, not the angel boasted by the Heavenly Father Church."

Wayne: "..."

This was not a secret, he had known for a long time that only the ancient gods were at the top of the evolutionary pyramid.

Rather than saying that Heaven covets the life of the void, it would be better to say that Heaven covets the body of the ancient god!

Thinking of this, Wayne changed his previous speculation that Heavenly Father was equal to the ancient gods to an inequality sign.

If Heavenly Father is really an ancient god, why would Heaven study the Forgotten Ones? They could just study Heavenly Father directly.

The Land of the Forgotten was built by God the Father, and God the Father’s Church regularly sends people in for the angels under God the Father to conduct research.

The Heavenly Father is not an ancient god, but he also covets the ancient god’s body!
Of course, there is another possibility. The Heavenly Father is indeed an ancient god, and the angels do not have the courage to study him even if he lies down. They can only find another way, piling up data through experiments, and testing the various knowledge and possibilities bestowed by faith.

Thinking of this, Wayne suddenly became excited. He has been insisting on research recently, which shows that the idea that research equals evolution is correct.

The more secrets I know, the more ignorant I become about the world. My horizons broaden again, and I gain a new understanding of this magnificent world. I can't wait to look down at the beautiful scenery in the fog.

Struggle, desire, confusion...

All living things sink and float in the countless rivers of evolution, and no one knows where they are going or where they are going. Only by praying and getting a response can we reach the other shore.

"what?!"

Wayne calmed down in an instant and immediately broke out in a sweat.

Oh no, the side effects of the intense confrontation with Togugye appeared. His thoughts were too inhuman, just like an ancient god giving candy to the destined ones.

Togugeye: I don’t know you, please don’t bother me, it has nothing to do with me.

Planck looked at Wayne eagerly. All the secrets that needed to be said and shared had been said. Now it was Wayne's turn to show what he had seen and heard.

Wayne transformed into a perfect elf, blending into the perfect balance of nature, which made Planck intoxicated, but...

I always feel like something is missing.

If this was the answer he had been longing for, it was too low-level.

"Planck, this is just the beginning. The five beliefs constitute the skeleton of life. Without the corresponding flesh and blood, and the energy to make the heart beat..."

Wayne said bluntly: "Life is too vast. The original Alliance of Life had far more than five gods. There were more. These gods fell in the war of faith and were stripped of their names. The losers cannot leave their names. We have to find them."

Come, eat cake!

After being promoted to a gold wizard, Wayne had no shortage of fellow countrymen with the four elements, so he decided to take action on the "Storm and Thunder" stored in the obelisk.

That’s not enough, the fallen gods are not just Storm and Thunder, there are many more.

It would be too difficult for him to find it alone, so he hoped that Planck would also take action.

"Real life..."

Plank's scalp tingled after hearing this. After Wayne gave him two mouthfuls of chicken soup, he found it too salty. The same was true for the pancakes, which had a really rotten smell.

He felt that there were too many real lives, and even if he could find them, he would not be able to control them all. Rather than wasting his energy and risk losing his balance, it would be better to hand them over to Wayne after finding them, and then...

Wait a minute, is this kid going to use me as a gun?

The two men stared at each other, and Planck's beard stood up.

In the darkness, the dilapidated gate was rippling with breeze. The pale cold wind was only limited to the Forgotten Land behind the gate and did not blow into the Chosen Continent.

In the wind, the figure riding the white horse is hazy like fog.

"life……"

"Vulnerable..."

----

That night.

The royal holiday resort on the outskirts of London.

The figure in the black robe looked into the distance, his cold eyes flashing with struggle. He wanted to get close, but was afraid of being too close.

Want to escape, but have to get close.

"Your Excellency, I am sorry to disturb your rest by visiting you so late at night."

Douglas arrived at the agreed time, five minutes early, very punctual.

Anastasia shook her head slightly, dispelling the helplessness in her heart, and said lightly: "Baron Kimo, I remember you said that it is best not to meet now. Is there anything that cannot be said on the phone?"

"As this concerns the future of the Dark Church, the Queen believes it is safer to discuss it in person."

Douglas explained the potential risks: "The Queen allowed the Dark Church to develop in Lundan, but in exchange, the Queen hoped that the Dark Church would fight against the Life Alliance."

"This is what we talked about at the beginning. Why do we have to bring it up again? Are there any tough enemies?"

"Not an enemy, just a disobedient retainer."

Douglas said, "There is a Landau family in the Tulip family. The head of the family, Auston, and the heir, Wayne, are involved with the high priest of the Church of Nature and the high priest of the Church of Moonlight respectively. In order to maintain balance, the Queen hopes that Her Excellency the Saint will stand up at that time."

"..."

"Your Excellency the Saint?"

"I understand, these are not the problems."

Anastasia looked at Douglas helplessly, thinking that he had found the right person: "Baron Kimo, is the Landau family difficult to deal with?"

"It's not difficult, but the queen is too kind. She doesn't want to use the cruelest means to suppress the Tulip Family."

Douglas was unhappy but didn't show it. He explained his own advantages to Anastasia: "A long time ago, the Queen and the Death Knight formed an alliance. The Queen hopes that you can find the Dark Knight of Lendan. By then, we can gather the two chosen ones and face the Life Alliance with much less pressure."

Not to mention the Life Alliance, even when the Pope comes to London, he has to toast the Queen at the banquet.

This is sure!

"..."

"Your Excellency the Saint?"

"I've tried my best. I'm just a person serving a lost person in the faith. My status is far lower than that of the Knight. Even if I find him, I can't command him." Anastasia sighed slightly.

The Queen has a good eye for choosing allies!

Listen to her advice. Instead of continuing to test, it is better to jump to the end and send the crown to the Landau family.

There were so many knights over there that I couldn't count them on one hand.

Twelve thousand words, please give me your monthly vote!
