Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1268 Number Seven

Demon King Calendar, year 650, mid-January.

The Silver City, the capital of Avarus, is now literally becoming a city of silver, as a sudden blizzard engulfs the sprawling city.

Due to the high latitude of Avarus, spring comes relatively late, so it is not uncommon to have a snowstorm on this day. The heaters in every household in the city are working at full capacity, and gray smoke is mixed in with the snowflakes.

Alday sat in her room, holding a quill in her hand, working on parchment without looking very happy.

It’s no wonder that Ordeal is not very happy. Since the last time she went to look for the Demon King’s Ring, Ordeal has never left the Silver City. It can even be said that she has never left the castle.

Even though the Seven Apostles have no chance of success given the current world situation, they are still the shadows that have been hiding in the dark for thousands of years since the disappearance of the Demon King, and it is still unclear who these guys are.

Oldie must be on the other party's blacklist. Before she is completely safe, she'd better not act on her own, especially not return to the Academic City to continue her research. After all, it has been proven last time that the Academic City is not clean.

What's more, Viola went out to lead the troops to fight, and Oldie couldn't leave the City of Silver.

Alde's daily job now is to practice magic and do some small research that does not require too much equipment and information. Although she doesn't have to sleep when she is full and eat when she wakes up, she is indeed bored to death.

The magic book that Li Chengxi got some time ago allowed Orday to spend a not-so-boring time. However, compared to the magic book itself, the USB flash drive that recorded the contents of the magic book interested Orday more.

But soon lost interest again.

When Li Chengxi bestowed the artifact upon Oldie, she also went to see it. Unfortunately, Zora did not allow Oldie to touch it, let alone study it.

All she had left to pass the time were two shredded nesting doll-like iron boxes on the table.

Oh yes, this is the box that contained the Demon King's Ring and the True Ancestor's Necklace.

The design of the box itself is pretty average, but the materials that make it up are worth investigating.

This special magic alloy only needs a few layers to perfectly shield artifact-level items, and does not require additional sealing spells. It must come from a place with extremely advanced materials science.

And materials science happens to be the area in which Oldey excels.

However, Orday also knew that even if she understood the composition and craftsmanship of this thing, it would be difficult for her to replicate it. After all, the technological gap was reflected in all aspects, and it could not be completely compensated by the means of an alchemist.

Therefore, Olday only regarded this kind of research as a way to pass the time and cultivate her sentiments.

Once humans get bored, they will try to find things to do. The method that Alde thought of was very simple.

That is to study the seven apostles.

Regarding the Demon King's Ring, Li Chengxi repeatedly warned Olde not to seek death. In that case, I will study the Seven Apostles.

——She still refuses to listen to advice as usual...

The main purpose of this study is to find out how the previous generation of Demon King God disappeared and what role the Seven Apostles played in it.

According to the legend, the seven apostles stole the Demon King's ring, and then the Demon King disappeared. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but now I think about it, it feels like fake news was deliberately released, and the seven apostles were made to take all the blame.

Based on the contents of the ruins, it can be confirmed that the seven apostles are not united, and some of them are opposed to rebelling against their creator.

But in the end the seven apostles took all the blame, as if some force in the dark was deliberately putting the blame on the seven apostles.

Another thing that is hard to understand is that strictly speaking, all high-level demons, including Alde and Viola, are descendants of the Seven Apostles, or at least have a blood relationship. But Alde has never heard of anything like this. Whether she has searched through the records of the Avarus family or asked her father, she has not been able to get any clues.

What does this mean?
Are the seven apostles active now not the same group as the seven apostles of the Demon King at that time?

The seven apostles now are like shadows separated from the high-level demons. They tried to control everything from behind, but all of them were destroyed by the sudden return of the Demon King.

And this group of people is now silent. After they found that they could no longer play the game of checks and balances, they disappeared without a trace and there is no sign of their activities.

This actually makes people nervous. It feels like they are plotting something, such as making the Demon King disappear again.

Oldie really wanted to research this, but history was not her strong point, so she just discovered these clues.

So she wrote down what she wanted to ask during this period of time, intending to give it to her friend far away in the academic city, the witch sorcerer named Ivan, who is an expert in archaeology.

The only thing to worry about is whether this letter can be received.

Ivan rarely stayed in academic cities, but traveled around the world to dig up ruins and find artifacts. And this year is the 650th year.

The Demon King Calendar is a calendar that was implemented after the formation of the seven demon kingdoms. Every 50 or 100 years, a grand celebration is held as a tradition, and some countries with frictions with each other will take this opportunity to conduct peace talks or something.

For archaeologists, it would be much easier to apply to enter another country's territory for archaeological excavations at this time. Oldey was not sure whether Ivan was still staying in the academic city. It might be difficult to get a reply to this letter until summer.

The entire letter had only an opening, and at this moment, Oldie heard the sound of flapping wings at the window. A snowy owl landed on the window frame and flapped its wings to signal for it to come in.

Unexpectedly, before Olde's letter was sent out, Ivan's letter arrived first.

Oldie opened the window, flipped some more peanuts for the snowy owl to snack on, and removed the letter bucket from its leg.

There were only two thin sheets of paper in the mailbox. They started with some greetings, followed by the main text.

As Alday read the letter from beginning to end, her frown deepened.

There was nothing special in Ivan's letter. She just said that she had recently unearthed three ruins from mythological eras and that the history textbooks would be rewritten by me.

But one detail caught Oldie's attention.

seven.

Ivan discovered that the number seven was too common in the relics of the mythological era.

Although in mysticism, the number seven is very magical and is used in spells or magic circles. For example, a magic circle must have seven nodes or multiples of seven to ensure normal operation.

But magic was not popular in the mythological era, and the religion of the Demon God was the mainstream.

The ruins excavated by Ivan are still under study, but it is speculated that they were built after the disappearance of the Demon God, because nothing related to the Demon God or even religion was found inside.

And through searching the literature, Orde also discovered that the number seven appeared very frequently in ancient books or records after the disappearance of the Demon King.

Even leaving aside the records related to the Seven Apostles, it is very common.

This situation is very unusual, maybe it contains some important information...
