Chapter 247 - 247: Lord of the Ashes

Translator: Lonelytree

The Seven Saint Alliance’s research on the Scar of the Dead was very thorough, which could be seen from the weight of the document bag.

In general, this document could be divided into three parts.

The first part was about the historical background and the reason for the formation of the Scar of the Dead.

In the second part, the Seven Saint Alliance made many efforts to stop the spread of the Scar of the Dead, but most of these efforts failed. The second part was a summary of these failures, which was also very valuable in Matthew’s opinion.

The third part was a series of feasible counter proposals for the Scar of the Dead proposed by the higher-ups of the Seven Saint Alliance.

This part was also very valuable for reference.

Matthew started reading from the first part.

However, he soon frowned.

Although there was a lot of information in this section, he did not know if it was a mistake in paperwork or if someone had deliberately messed things up.

The information was rather messy, and many of the statements were contradictory.

The degree of absurdity had already reached the point where two conjoining pages could counter each other.

“Is this really the information recorded by the Alliance?”

Matthew was deeply suspicious.

But when he thought of the incident with Blinken, he suppressed his suspicions.

He hadn’t really come into contact with the Alliance of Seven Saints, and the impression he had of it was all from what he had heard from Ronan.

After the ascension of the Heavenly Palace, the Seven Saint Alliance became the most powerful organization and authority in the world. It was not surprising that there was some corruption within.

Immediately.

He resisted his disgust and tried to extract useful information from the messy written information.

A few hours later.

Matthew put down the thick goatskin book tiredly.

At this moment, he was already extremely certain.

This information had been tampered with.

Matthew wasn’t the only one who could gain access to this. It was likely that after a certain point in time, someone infiltrated the library of the alliance and ruined this.

The intention was probably to blur the historical cause of the Scar of the Dead.

However, as the envoy of equilibrium, Matthew had a natural ability to capture the elements of imbalance.

Many of the contradictions in the information were easily seen by him.

Gradually, he managed to extract some relatively useful information.

Matthew pieced the information together and tried to restore the truth of history.

“So, the origin of the Scar of the Dead is actually in the Jade Court?!” In the information that Matthew had pieced together, the story went like this:

Ever since Heavenly Palace ascended to the throne.

The main elven god, Triestina, who was worshipped by the wood elves living in Jade Court, was also exiled by the Calamity Mages.

Since then, the entire Wood Elf community had been in a constant state of panic.

It seemed that for a race like the elves, not having faith was a very terrifying thing.

They would instinctively seek out some powerful existences as their spiritual support.

One year.

A Legendary Evil Art Master named Lance picked up on this weakness.

Therefore, through careful disguises and strategies, he successfully made the wood elves believe that although Triestina was exiled, she had prepared her vessel in advance in the human world so that she could continue to guide the spiritual world of the elves.

Lance claimed that he was the incarnation of Triestina in the human world.

What was very strange was that…

The wood elves actually believed such a ridiculous lie!

After that, this Legendary Evil Art Master successfully entered the Jade Court and even became a partner with the Wood Elf Queen at that time, giving birth to a boy and a girl.

The day the Queen gave birth.

Jade Court was still immersed in joy.

But very quickly.

The Wood Elven Queen was the first to realize that something was wrong.

Because she was shocked to find that the two children she had just given birth to were neither elves nor humans.

They looked like a humanoid creature with an octopus face!

At this moment, no matter how obsessed the Elven Queen was, she knew that something bad was going to happen.

She wanted to question Lance.

However, the latter left after the Queen successfully gave birth.

The following night.

It was the most painful night in the history of Jade Court.

No one knew what had happened in the Elven Palace.

The elves living in the outer city only saw two tentacles rising from the ground.

One of the tentacles pierced through the world tree, Maia’s crown.

The other tentacle attacked all the living beings nearby indiscriminately.

Matthew could only find a few words about the terrible disaster.

He was certain of one thing.

After that night.

The Elven Queen in her prime had fallen.

Many Wood Elf civilians were sacrificed alive by a mysterious evil ritual before the Queen gave birth to her children.

More wood elves died in the subsequent disasters.

As for the boy and girl that the Queen had given birth to…

They turned into two tentacles.

One of the tentacles was killed by the queen using the divine weapon that was suppressed in the World Tree.

The other tentacle also received a fatal blow from the queen, but it was not completely dead.

It fell to the ground and fused with the earth vein, forming a shallow mark 80 kilometres south of Jade Court.

At that time, the elves were immersed in grief and did not notice the abnormality of the traces.

When the mark grew, the elves were surprised to find that they could no longer stop the growth of the mark.

The Scar of the Dead was born.

After experiencing the pain of that night.

The population of the originally prosperous wood elves had plummeted, and they had lost control over the forest..
