CHAPTER 531: 54.KING OF MAIN ANGELS_2

The captain’s log is something every captain is familiar with, different from the standardized logs currently used to deal with company inspections and audits, in the pioneering days, these logs were very private matters, recording the people and events they encountered along the way.

Fisher still remembered that when the Gedelin Royal Museum was established, Blake had given his own captain’s log to the Gedelin Royal Family, and the Gedelin Royal Family had collected it as an epoch-making treasure.

But anyway, was Emhardt originally very interested in a captain’s log? It seemed somewhat beneath him. Could it contain some very profound secrets?

"No, not this log, it’s something inside it! There’s a piece of paper tucked in this book, and that’s what I want to see."

Hearing Emhardt’s request, Fisher reluctantly opened the captain’s log, and indeed on the first page, he saw a sheepskin scroll that had been folded many times, fragile-looking as if bearing the weight of heavy history.

"This is it! Fisher! This is it, I can already smell its scent, hurry, hurry, open it up, let’s read the contents together."

Fisher extended his hand and unfolded the sheepskin scroll, revealing the text inside that looked like indecipherable symbols. Between the lines, various strange and eerie symbols were drawn with the blood of an unknown animal.

The moment Fisher saw those eerie symbols, he felt a shiver run through his scalp, but when he saw the symbol in the center of the sheepskin that resembled a gemstone crown, he suddenly felt it looked very familiar...

Yes, Fisher felt as if he had seen this symbol somewhere before.

"Is this... South Continent script?"

"Right, but not quite. The most widely spread script in the South Continent is the Fermat Baha Dragon Court Language, and this has thousands of connections with the previous rule of the Dragon Court, but the text on this is not Fermat Baha Dragon Court Language, rather it is ’Ancient Human Language,’ meaning, the text here is human script, related to the human script you use nowadays in ancient times. In ancient times, this was the script used by humans of the South Continent."

"Wait, are you saying that the language used by humans in the South Continent is related to that of the West Continent people?"

"Yes, perhaps a group of people from the West Continent migrated to the South Continent?"

But the problem was, humans only acquired this kind of maritime technology decades ago, how did humans make it there thousands or even nearly ten thousand years ago? By some kind of demi-human?

Speaking of which, Fisher also suddenly remembered that Caleb Wuz, the author of the Soul Completion Manual, had mentioned that the magic of the Dragon Court was also brought by humans, so does this really mean that there were indeed humans from the West Continent who migrated to the South Continent by some method?

Fisher thought for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the scroll in his hand, at this moment, he suddenly remembered where he had seen this symbol in the scroll.

He had seen this symbol on the Demon’s Gate deep in Snake Head Street in Saint Nali, behind those Demon Sisters, and if Fisher remembered correctly, this symbol was precisely one of those that hung at the upper end.

"My God, Fisher..."

As Fisher was recalling the specific symbols engraved on the Demon’s Gate, the floating Emhardt, after reading the contents on the sheepskin scroll, suddenly fell down uncontrollably, and fortunately Fisher was quick enough to catch him before he hit the ground.

"What’s wrong, what is written there?"

In the palm of Fisher’s hand, Emhardt seemed to have woken up with enormous fear, even his pupils began to whirl around.

He opened his mouth and waited a good while before floating up again from Fisher’s palm, then rather guiltily spoke to Fisher,

"Inside here, it records how humans in ancient times prayed to the Abyss and set up rituals to summon specific Demon God Pillars... My goodness, I never expected that after so many years of the demon’s Demon God Pillars being locked in the Abyss, we could still see this. It’s really, really terrifying!"

Hey, are you recalling the painful experience of being captured and beaten by demons in the Abyss?

Fisher, somewhat amused, responded to Emhardt,

"Haven’t you said that all the Demon God Pillars are now locked in the Abyss and can’t come out? What are you afraid of?"

"No, no, no, Fisher... just keep that ragged piece of paper away a bit further. Listen to me! I once read in a demon’s tome that there was once a very fierce war in this world, involving almost all races, but primarily it was the Mythical Species that fought the most fiercely."

Emhardt spoke hurriedly, and as he did, the pages of his book body flipped rapidly, the bursting gold light indicating he was continually engaging knowledge recorded within him,

"The exact results of that war are still unknown to the present day because it happened so long ago. I did not have any spiritual wisdom back then, nor have I seen any records about it outside of the Abyss since. So I only knew about the outcome of the Demon Species in that war—they ultimately lost."

"The Demon’s core entities, the Demon God Pillars, were purged by enemies and locked deep in the Abyss where they could not be moved. What you saw before, Elliog, was exactly like that. Her overwhelmingly powerful soul came to the Western Continent, where a physical shell was constructed by the world due to the unity of soul and body, much like how a Chaos Species descends from the Spirit Realm into the world. That shell was just a poor imitation of her true form, its rank not even reaching the Mythical Rank, about the Thirteenth to Fourteenth Rank, whereas her true form was at the eighteenth!"

The more Fisher heard, the more peculiar his expression became. So, had his previous encounter with Elliog been some kind of spiritual communion?

"Fisher, there are 72 Demon God Pillars, representing seventy-two Demon Gods of Mythical Rank. After that war, all Demon God Pillars were supposed to be locked in the Abyss with their entities sealed, but there was one exception."

"There was a demon expert in deceit who used despicable means to avoid wartime purging and hid his physical entity somewhere in the world, a place impossible to discover..."

"And now, this summoning sheepskin scroll we are looking at is intended to summon that very Demon God whose entity isn’t locked in the Abyss! No matter how you call out to the others, they can’t respond to you now, but I can’t guarantee that this demon won’t respond to you. And from what I know, that nasty fellow was most fond of bestowing knowledge on humans in ancient times!"

Emhardt appeared scared, his eyes seemingly conjuring an image of a horrifying demon wearing a gemstone crown, sporting a mischievous smile. Just recalling that figure made his square body shudder, and he dared not even utter its name, as if that hellish scenario was just yesterday.

Fisher glanced at the severely frightened Emhardt, and suddenly guessed something. He gently folded the sheepskin scroll and placed it back in the book, then looked at Emhardt in front of him and said,

"Let me guess, you must have encountered her physical entity in the Abyss and deeply know her terror. She’s still active in this world, which is why you’re so worried our calling might be heard by her, right?"

Fisher tapped the book’s surface with his finger, recalling the words Elliog and he had discussed about that demon,

"That war-evading Demon God was `King of the Main Angels`, the Demon God `Paimon`..."
