The world-devouring dragon

"The moon? How is it possible? It is impossible to go to the moon with the technology of World War II!"

In Uberto Bruni, Roberts has been trying to suppress his emotions. Although he has been shocked by the shocking secrets one after another, his face is as calm as possible, trying to answer calmly, but when he hears from Uberto When Tor Bruni spoke the words, Roberts couldn't help but question them.

Then, he frowned and speculated to himself.

"Wait, you want to mean that the Nazis used ancient magic... That's impossible. Ancient magic is not omnipotent. Even in the era when ancient magic was most prosperous, for those ancient mages, reaching the moon Going up is still an impossible thing.”

With that said, the demon hunter, who was extremely familiar with the knowledge of the other world, categorically rejected his guess.

"madness!"

But after listening to Roberts' words, the young man snorted coldly, and his accustomed disdain and contempt appeared on his face again.

"Ancient magic? You are as stupid as a monkey. The ancient army uses a secret that is older and more mysterious than the ancient magic. That magic originated from the Atlantean civilization. They call it 'ether magic' , but... I prefer to call it 'angel knowledge'."

When he mentioned angel knowledge, he paused inexplicably and then murmured.

"Atlantis? Angelic knowledge?"

Obviously, these two words gave Roberts a lot of associations, but Uberto had no intention of explaining more and just continued.

"In the "Book of Giants", it was recorded that angels taught humans knowledge, including all kinds of forbidden knowledge, but some of them were attracted to beautiful women on the earth and had intercourse with them, thus giving birth to a child. giant……"

"The Book of Giants is an apocrypha!"

At this moment, Wendy, who had always remained silent behind Roberts, suddenly spoke.

From beginning to end, among the three of them, Roberts was the one who spoke. Joan was silent because she didn't know the inside story, and Wendy also chose to remain silent for some reason. And when Uberto mentioned "The Book of Giants", Wendy suddenly retorted.

Apocrypha refers to forged scriptures. The "Book of Giants" is regarded as a forged apocrypha in Christianity in the name of a saint. Unlike Roberts, who is not religious, Wendy is extremely devout in her faith, so much so that when Uberto mentioned "The Book of Giants", she couldn't help but speak.

But Uberto looked at her strangely, his cold eyes full of sarcasm.

"Apocrypha? In this absurd and weird world, everything is false, history is false, time is false, memory is false, even the universe is false, but what are you still telling me? Apocrypha? Who is real and who is fake? Poor headless fly, blind and ignorant guardian of the monastery, you don’t even know the current situation of the monastery. It is no longer the monastery you know."

When Uberto said "Guardian of the Priory", as if some huge secret in her heart was revealed, Wendy's face suddenly lost color and turned pale, while Uberto sneered, Turning to Roberts.

"Roberts, I warned you, this woman is not worthy of your trust."

"I……"

Wendy looked at Uberto in front of her, and couldn't help but take a step back. Then she looked at Roberts helplessly, with a little help in her eyes, trying to explain something, but she couldn't.

"Roberts, you have to believe me. I never thought of doing anything bad to you. I have always been helping you...I..."

Roberts didn't say anything, he just put his hand between Wendy and Uberto to prevent Wendy from seeing Uberto again, and then looked at Uberto indifferently.

"That's enough! Little guy, if you really want to cooperate with me, stop instigating the relationship between me and Wendy. I don't know why you are so hostile to Wendy, and I also know that Wendy is hiding something. Me, but I trust her. If you still want to cooperate, don’t mention it again.”

Roberts emphasized.

Indeed, Roberts could feel that there was a secret in Wendy, but he did not doubt Wendy, because if Wendy was really intentional, they would be caught by the Priory at any time, but Wendy has been trying to help them along the way.

Compared to Uberto, who had just met and didn't know the details, Roberts was more willing to trust Wendy, whom he had watched since childhood.

Uberto looked at the three people in front of him indifferently, and finally smiled inexplicably.

"Haha, okay, I won't mention this matter anymore, then let's continue talking about the ancient group army."

"I said that Nazi Germany has been committed to studying the civilization of Atlantis, the legendary continent that sank into the sea, and they did make some gains. I still remember that I said that I found a record. Are they fragments of rune tablets? Those were originally Atlantis relics collected by Nazi Germany. This is also the oldest supernatural thing I have found... from another historical perspective."

"For example, the flying saucer legend that was popular in the last century was an aircraft developed by them using the technology of the Atlantis civilization. There were many things like this, but in the end they could not save Germany's fate. So after Germany's defeat, there were not many The ancient army went to the Antarctic, and then used its own technology to go to the moon. Of course, this is also my speculation based on various clues. As for what happened next, I don’t know because I have no way of knowing what happened on the moon.”

"I have been searching for the world key on the earth for a long time, but I have never found it, so I can only think that the world key is on the moon. And this is all I know about the traces of the world key."

Uberto did not pursue Wendy's matter any further, and just told what he knew indifferently.

"So, the root of all this is because the Priory is trying to find information about the world key from you? A bunch of lunatics."

Roberts raised his eyebrows slightly, then snorted coldly.

For Roberts, he was extremely unhappy. He was living a good life, but he was suddenly forced to flee with his daughter. It was not a big deal for him, and it was the source of his unhappiness that his daughter was forced to eat and sleep in the open with him.

Facing Roberts's evaluation, Uberto didn't take it seriously and just murmured inexplicably.

"Crazy... maybe, this crazy world."

Then he looked up at Roberts and said calmly.

"Mr. Roberts, what is next is what you and I have to do. We use the same method as the ancient army to go to the moon to find the world key to fight against the Priory and defeat it."

Roberts looked at him noncommittally.

"What shall I be paid for?"

"remuneration?"

As he spoke, Uberto laughed and looked at Roberts with his dark-rimmed eyes, which looked exhausted but extremely sharp.

"With my ability, I can give you anything you want on earth. It's easy for you to return to your past life. The only thing I fear is the power of the Priory. I need the world key to Once this is achieved, you, your daughter, and Miss Wendy can all regain their composure."

Roberts looked at him with undisguised suspicion in his eyes, and Uberto looked at him without fear. Finally, Roberts looked at the direction of the stairs and said without looking back.

"Since you said you are going to the moon in the future, you can always let us rest here for a while. Why don't we rush to the Antarctic with you without even being able to drink water?"

"Of course, this place is not big, but it is safe enough. There are still two bedrooms available. You can rest for a few days..."

An unabashed smile of success appeared on Uberto's face.

The three of them started walking towards the stairs, with Roberts at the front, Wendy at the end, and Joan in the middle, protected by the two. It was obvious that both were on guard against Uberto, although the girl was still unaware of it.

And when Wendy was about to step onto the stairs.

"Ms. Wendy, do you think the Priory today is still the Priory you know?"

Behind him, Uberto's calm voice sounded.

…

After watching the three of them go up the stairs, the smile on Uberto's face was gradually replaced by indifference.

There is no doubt that he hid a lot of things from Roberts, but one thing is true. He had no ill intentions towards Roberts, and everything he did was just to protect himself...

Yes, just to protect myself.

"The Priory..."

He murmured in a low voice and stretched his hand to the back of his head. Under the thick hair was soft skin and... a layer of fine scales.

Although there are not many, they are only about the size of a coin and cannot be seen on the surface without removing the hair, but the scales that extend into the flesh are undoubtedly real. Uberto once tried to pull out one of them, but the scales were not visible on the surface. The scales growing under his skin were painful and unbearable.

In the end, the test results proved that it was a scale similar to snake scales.

Uberto, who already knew a lot about the World Key, knew exactly what it was. He dared to confirm that the world key was on the moon, not just because of the information he had collected. In fact, all the ancient armies went to the moon, and not many clues remained. The real reason was that he could clearly feel... that came from A whisper calls from the moon.

The voice whispered in his ears, making him look up at the moon calling him.

"Both I and the Priory have been involved too deeply... Leonardo da Vinci, the reason why you refused to tell the Priory the information about the world key and preferred to take that knowledge with you into the grave is because of this. The reason..."

The genius who could compete with Leonardo Da Vinci murmured.

There is no doubt that Roberts does not trust him yet, or does not trust him at all. The reason why he agreed was purely because he was unable to fight against the Priory, so he had to rely on his own strength.

But it doesn't matter, after all, Roberts has arrived, and the secret that the monastery has kept for thousands of years has come to him. The thing he has been worried about can finally be relieved. As long as the secret is in his hands, even if it is It doesn't really matter if there is no world key.

It's ridiculous. The monastery has lasted for thousands of years, but in the end, it even forgot the secrets it really wanted to keep. Or...is it really still a monastery?

…

In an underground church in London, a group of gray-robed monks were mumbling prayers in front of a strange sculpture. The leader of them lowered his head and his whole body was shaking unnaturally, as if he was enduring something.

"..."

It whispered something, and as its body trembled, a strange and unhuman sound came out of its throat. It was a weird ultra-low tone that human vocal cords could never produce.

"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!"

The gray-robed monk, who was caught in inexplicable excitement and ecstasy, raised his head and let out a weird roar. The robe on his head fell apart, revealing the sharp teeth and long snake letters. His body was covered with snake-like scales, and he couldn't look human at all. A lizard-like face.

"F'- GNAIIH'EE GOKA -AGL (God is about to awaken...)"

Accompanied by the weird, inhuman voice of the leading monk, many gray-robed monks fervently bent over and worshiped the sculpture...

The entwined snake statue looked coldly at everything in front of it with its erect pupils, overlooking the fight among the tiny insects beneath it.
