Chapter 221 The Origin of Chaos
The person who came was none other than the weirdo Arthur in disguise.
Ethan had made an appointment with him that if there was an emergency, he could come to the Gosha Palace to find him.
It seemed that there was a special situation.
The reception room on the third floor of the Gosha Palace.
Since York became the housekeeper of the Gosha Palace, he has become the person who opened the most rooms after Ethan.
The reception room is one of the rooms that York can open. It is a bit like a high-end conference room, with luxurious chandeliers, high-end tables and chairs, and a special tea room and wine cabinet.
Ethan and Arthur sat opposite each other.
Bringing Arthur a cup of sage tea, Ethan felt that the palace was still a little short of staff.
"I didn't expect that the ruins of the Gosha Palace you opened up would be so magnificent. It's completely beyond my expectations."
Arthur picked up the water cup and drank two gulps.
"Haha, I'm just lucky."
"Actually, coming here today is really related to this palace castle."
Hearing Arthur's words, Ethan frowned slightly, and then looked puzzled.
"Gexia Palace?"
Arthur nodded: "It's this Gexia Palace."
"I got the information today, which was quite unexpected. A group of people on the black market are asking about Gexia Palace."
Ethan thought about it. Gexia Palace has not been opened for a long time, and it seems that there is no intersection with other forces.
"Is there someone coveting this castle?"
"It's not impossible."
"Then... who is the other party?"
Ethan added some water to Arthur's water glass, but Arthur waved his hand to stop him, then stood up and pulled out a bottle of wine from the closet, and took out a crystal glass from under the cabinet and filled it.
"Sage tea is suitable for Mr. Connell, but this is suitable for me."
Arthur raised his glass and took a sip. His eyes lit up immediately: "Well, it's rich and mellow, and it tastes sweet. It's no less than the golden rum in your Rum Town."
"Good wine~"
Ethan shrugged. God knows when these wines are from. It is likely that York bought them and put them in.
"Those who inquired about the Gosha Palace don't seem to be very interested in the situation of this castle, but... they are very interested in you, the owner of the castle."
"Interested in me?!"
Ethan was a little surprised.
"Those people are all unfamiliar faces. They should not be locals. There should be someone behind them."
"I think you should pay more attention in the near future."
Arthur took a sip of the wine, and he was still not satisfied.
Who could it be?
Ethan carefully recalled the process of opening up the Gosha Palace. It turned out that this was a cemetery.
The reason why Ethan chose to open up here was because he got the map of the first level of the maze from the cemetery.
The map was left by the group of people with the evil eye mark on their clothes.
At that time, they seemed to be looking for the Ten Commandments Ring, but since the Ten Commandments Ring had been taken away by Ethan long ago, they were alone. The map was torn into pieces by the leader in anger. After they left, the broken map was picked up by Ethan who was hiding on the top of the tomb.
Could it be that the group of people came back again?
Thinking of this, Ethan narrowed his eyes. Even if they didn't know that the map was picked up by Ethan, the location of Gexia Palace happened to be that cemetery, which would definitely make people suspicious.
"Brother Arthur, I want to ask what guild this symbol represents?"
Ethan took out a pen and paper from the badge and drew the evil eye symbol.
Arthur looked at the symbol Ethan drew, and his face gradually became serious.
"Eye of the Evil God...!"
"How do you know this symbol?"
Ethan told the story of how he entered the cemetery crack at the request of the Viper Leader and happened to meet this group of people to retrieve the Night Pearl.
"If you put it that way, then the people who are asking for your information are most likely them. The Eye of the Evil God controls many dark rituals and items, and tomb robbing is common for them."
"Then... what about the Chaos Cult?"
Ethan helped Arthur pour the wine, and the fragrant aroma made people intoxicated.
"Well, speaking of it, the Chaos Cult has some origins with us."
"The Chaos Cult appeared seventeen years ago, when you were not born yet. And that time was exactly when the Apostles were completely destroyed by the Prism.
So although the founder of the Chaos Cult has never shown his face, most people think he is a member of the Apostles."
Arthur shook the wine glass in his hand, and the amber liquid left mottled light on the table under the illumination of the chandelier.
"From past experience, Chaos usually appears in the fog, mostly targeting federal nobles or wealthy businessmen, and they seem to be very keen on robbing the rich to help the poor, so they have also received a lot of support from civilians."
"It's just... in recent years, I don't know why Chaos has begun to change its past style, looting more and more frequently, and killing more and more, sometimes even leaving no one alive."
Arthur shook his head after speaking, his tone was quite regretful.
At this time, Ethan suddenly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Is it possible that the members of Chaos were impersonated?"
"Impersonation? What do you mean?"
Arthur looked puzzled and drank a sip of wine lightly.
"Since the 'Chaos' are so mysterious and no one has seen their true faces, even if they are impersonated by others, everyone will definitely not be able to tell, right?"
Hearing Ethan's words, Arthur stopped shaking the wine glass.
"It seems possible."
Then Ethan told Nicole's experience.
At that time, Nicole rushed from Gauss City to Turing City to register for Flo University. On the way, she encountered a group of masked bandits who had the symbol of the "evil eye" on their bodies.
That time they robbed a large amount of refined realgar powder. Nicole had seen the standard armor hidden under the clothes, which belonged to the federal army.
The realgar powder they looted later appeared on the first floor of the cemetery, which was the habitat of the viper tribe.
Snakes hate the smell of realgar powder the most, causing them to move under the federal road. Then the road collapsed and the Rosemary Noble Merchant Group was attacked by a group of snakes. Only then did Ethan have the opportunity to clinically test the effect of the anti-snake venom serum he made.
Later, he was recommended as a contestant in the rainforest trial.
"Pah~"
Arthur put down the crystal cup in his hand, his face extremely serious.
"Ethan, are all you saying true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"Pah~"
Arthur slapped the table, shaking the crystal cup and making it bounce up.
"I knew there must be something fishy going on. Chaos has no badges, and every time they act, they are covered in white clothes, which makes them very easy to be counterfeited."
"And I heard that there is a close connection between the Eye of the Evil God and Prism."
It seems that Chaos has caused great trouble to the federal government and won the hearts of the people, which makes the federal government even more worried.
Although a large amount of manpower and material resources have been sent to combat crime, Chaos is best at shuttling through the fog, and Prism always hits a snag.
It was not until later that Prism came up with this vicious plan.
Using the characteristics of Chaos wearing white clothes and masks, they simply did bad things, hoping to completely destroy the image of Chaos in the hearts of the people and cut off the source of the fire.
Mud falls into the crotch, it is either shit or shit.
The Chaos took the blame.
