Chapter 1268 Number Seven

Demon King's Calendar, year 650, mid-January.

The Silver City, the capital of Avarus, is now becoming a literal silver city as a sudden snowstorm envelopes this huge city.

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

Aldai was sitting in her room, holding a quill in her hand, working in front of the parchment as if she wasn't very happy.

It's no wonder that Aldai is not happy. Since the last time she went to find the Demon King's Ring, Aldai has never left the Silver City. It can even be said that she has never left the castle.

Although the Seven Apostles have nothing to do with the current world situation, they are shadows that have been hiding in the dark for thousands of years since the disappearance of the Demon King God. It has never been clear who these guys are.

Aldai must be on the other party's blacklist. Before her safety is completely ensured, she had better not act without permission, especially since she cannot return to the academic city to continue her research. After all, it was proved last time that the academic city is not clean.

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

Aldai's daily job now is to practice spells and do small research that doesn't require too much equipment and materials. Although she doesn't have to eat when she's full, she can sleep and wake up, but she is definitely grinning in idleness.

The magic book that Li Chengqi got some time ago allowed Aldai to spend a not boring time, but compared to the magic book itself, the USB flash drive that recorded the contents of the magic book interested Aldai more.

But he soon lost interest again.

When Li Chengqi gave the artifact before, Aldai also went to see it. Unfortunately, Zola didn't allow Aldai to touch it, let alone study it.

She still had something left to pass the time, which were two torn nesting doll-style iron boxes on the table.

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

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

This special magic alloy only requires a few layers to perfectly shield artifact-level items without the need for additional sealing spells. It must come from a place with extremely advanced materials science.

Materials science happens to be the field that Aldai is good at.

However, Aldai also knew that even if she figured out the ingredients and process of this thing, it would be difficult for her to reproduce it. After all, the technical gap was reflected in all aspects, and this could not be completely made up by the methods of an alchemist. .

Therefore, Ao Dai only regarded her research in this area as passing time and cultivating her sentiments.

Once humans are bored, they will find ways to find things for themselves to do. Aldai's idea is very simple.

That is to study the seven apostles.

Regarding the Demon King's Ring, Li Chengqi repeatedly warned Aldai not to seek death. In this case, let me study the Seven Apostles.

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

The main purpose of this research is to find out why the Demon King God disappeared in the previous generation, and what role the seven apostles played in this.

According to legend, the Seven Apostles stole the Demon King's Ring, and then the Demon King disappeared. I didn't think there was any problem before, but now that I think about it, it feels like false news was deliberately released to put all the blame on the Seven Apostles. Memorized.

According to the contents in the ruins, it can be confirmed that the seven apostles are not monolithic, and some people have objections to resisting their creator.

But the result was that all the Seven Apostles took the blame, as if there was some kind of force deliberately taking the blame in the dark.

What is also difficult to understand is that, strictly speaking, the high-level demons, including Aldai and Viola, are all descendants of the Seven Apostles, or are at least related by blood.

But Aldai had never heard of anything like this. No matter whether she looked through the records of the Avarus clan or asked her father, she couldn't get any clues.

What does this mean?

Are the seven apostles active now not the same group as the seven apostles of Demon King God at that time?

The current seven apostles are like shadows separated from the high-ranking demons. They try to control everything behind the scenes, but they are all destroyed by the sudden return of the demon king.

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

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

Alday wanted to study this, but history wasn't her strong suit, and she just found these clues.

So she wrote down what she wanted to ask during this period, intending to give it to her friend in the academic city, the hag warlock named Ivan, who is the expert in archeology.

The only thing I have to worry about is whether the letter will be received.

Ivan rarely stayed in academic cities, but traveled all over the world digging ruins and looking for cultural relics. And this year is 650.

The Demon King Calendar is a calendar that was implemented after the formation of the Seven Demon Kingdoms. Every 50th or 100th year, a grand celebration will be held, and some countries that are in conflict with each other will take this opportunity to conduct peace negotiations and so on.

For archaeologists, it would be much easier to apply to enter the territory of another country for archaeological excavation at this time. Aldai was not sure whether Ivan was still in the academic city. Maybe the reply to this letter would have to wait until the summer. .

The whole letter only had an opening. At this time, Aldee heard the sound of flapping wings by the window. A snowy owl landed on the window frame and flapped its wings to signal it to come in.

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

Aldee opened the window, turned over some peanuts for the snowy owl as a snack, and took the letter bucket from its legs.

There were only two thin sheets of paper in the letter bucket. There was a greeting at the beginning, and then the main text.

Reading the letter from beginning to end, the more Aldee read, the deeper her brows frowned.

Ivan's letter did not have anything special in it, just talking about the relics of three mythological eras that she had recently dug up, and the history textbooks that I would rewrite.

But one detail attracted Aldee's attention.

Seven.

Ivan found 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, such as seven or multiples of seven nodes in a magic circle to ensure normal operation.

But magic was not popular in the mythological era, and the religion of the Demon King was the mainstream at that time.

The ruins excavated by Ivan are still under study, but it is speculated that the age should be after the disappearance of the Demon King, because nothing related to the Demon King or even religion was found in it.

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

Even if we put aside the records related to the seven apostles, it is very common.

This situation is very abnormal, maybe it is some important information...
