Chapter 506 Prophecy Scroll
"Perhaps it's time to revisit the Monsis school."

Daisy turned to look at the elders of the Contract Scholars faction, probably subconsciously wanting to seek their opinions.

But the contract scholars didn't react at all; they all stared blankly at the golden tree sculpture and murmured to themselves.

"Is there no one else in your church's upper echelons besides old men and little girls?" Milo muttered.

Dillah Shaw immediately objected: "Hey, so am I an old man or a girl?"

As he spoke, he pulled a crumpled animal skin scroll from his robe and handed it to Daisy, saying, "It's just a good thing the Contract Organization didn't react. I already got the stuff left behind by the Monsis faction. The old guys verbally denounce Monsis as a cult, but what they're researching in private isn't really any different."

As a church official who had always done the dirty work for the church, De La Chau knew better than anyone the ugliness hidden beneath the church's glamorous robes.

For example, the Pale Blood, which was separated from and discarded from the blood of the Old Gods as early as the first generation, is still being studied by the Contract Organization to this day, whether it is divine blood or Pale Blood.

That's why every generation of direct descendants of the Cainhester people "visits" Nanwei City.

Their task is to offer up pale blood.

As a deacon, Dirac personally took charge of this matter, including cleaning up the messes of these filthy vampires and burying the corpses of homeless people who had been drained of their blood.

Every time this matter is brought up, Dillah Shaw goes into a rambling mode:
"Who would have thought that the servants of the gods would have to find food for the vampires? It's really..."

“Yes, yes, I’m sorry to have wronged you.” Milo skillfully interrupted Dirasha’s spellcasting and snatched the scroll from his hand.

……

This scroll, left behind by the Monsieur School, is a fragment, with most of the edges missing and it appears to have been partially burned. Judging from its appearance, it is quite old, at least the age of a dozen churches.

The scroll is written in an ancient script with a distinct dotted hieroglyphic style. This is a common practice among contract scholars. Even when recording modern content, they use ancient script as a medium. Besides preventing the records from falling into the wrong hands and causing leaks, it is more likely to showcase their professional skills.

As Dillashau said, although the Monsis School had long since parted ways with the Covenant Organization, the projects that the earliest Monsis scholars had devoted themselves to researching were actually taken over by the Covenant Organization. The research on Pale Blood was only a small part of it. There was much more research being done by unseen people hidden in the dark corners of this complex, such as that of Ethan Field, who was imprisoned and injected with various nutrients...

Monsis was expelled, but their academic research remained.

The last tales believed by everyone in this school, and even the terms "calamity" and "apostles of peril" used by church clergy today, are all inherited from the documents left by the Monsieur school.

Those lost people, their families, and the descendants of ancient priests—all of these people are identified as apostles of misfortune, and any one of them may be the cause of the end-times calamity.

This led to the situation where, on the eve of the hunting night, the hunters' organization established by the ravens and the clerks of the church's deacon department were doing the same thing.

……

The Monsis manuscript that Dillahshaw obtained contained the apocalyptic prophecy that had been circulating within the school for a long time.

To Milo's slight surprise, the Monsis school's apocalyptic prophecy was not a vague and general statement, but rather a very detailed record. Even without counting the missing parts of the scroll, the fragment in Milo's possession contained at least several hundred hieroglyphs.

And what sends a chill down your spine the most is...

The first sentence on the scroll, made of animal hide, translates to—

"When bizarre claw marks appear and the old world falls into chaos, even the contracted organizations will not be spared. At that time, chaos will erode people's hearts, and only the eye of thought will remain."

...

After reading this passage, Milo glanced thoughtfully at everyone in the grand cathedral. Centered on the abyssal rift, all the church members around were lost in confusion; their minds had, without a doubt, become a breeding ground for those arthropods.

In the vast sanctuary, only the Eye of Contemplation and her followers remain conscious.

"Is it possible to be that accurate?"

Milo frowned.

Bizarre claw marks, chaos, contractual organizations...

All the elements have gathered, and it is clear that under the erosion of chaos, only the Eye of Thinking remains unscathed.

"No wonder Monsis and the Church are both desperately trying to control the Eye of Thinking."

Milo thought about it, and realized that it all started when the raven tricked Robben into gouging out Daisy's eyes. Monsis's shadow had already been looming over Nanwei City since that time.

It's not hard to deduce that the Eye of Thinking has no direct relationship with the Golden Tree or the Church; it should be something that exists independently, unlike the claim by the Dream Knights that the Eye of Thinking belongs to the Golden Law Temple.

Otherwise, if Dirac's service to the Eye of Thinking was no different from his faith in the Golden Tree, then his brain would probably be infested with worms by now.

Milo glanced at Dirac.

The latter asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me?"

"fine."

He lowered his head and continued reading the contents of the scroll.

The word "chaos" mentioned in the scroll is actually a paraphrase. The original meaning of this hieroglyphic word is something that cannot be touched or looked at directly. It is already quite remarkable to find a character representing "chaos" in ancient hieroglyphics. However, "abyss" is a geographical structure that exists in the real world, so there are ancient characters on the scroll that clearly refer to the abyss.

In short, this scroll was written in ancient script by contemporary people, so it is not difficult to understand.

It's highly likely that it was something Tutis Klaus came up with.

Because Milo had seen that guy in the Abyss, he knew the Abyss better than anyone else, and even had ways to "send" people into the Abyss.

...

"This guy only talks about the details of the disaster, but doesn't offer any solutions at all?"

Milo thoroughly examined the entire text on both sides of the scroll. The entire text of the fragment repeatedly mentioned the "Eye of Thinking," but it was clear that when the author wrote this prophecy, he did not know what the Eye of Thinking was, let alone that it would have a human form. He only mentioned that in the near future, humanity's dull eyes would be blinded, and only the Eye of Thinking could see the truth behind the chaos, thus finding a way to salvage everything.

What's infuriating is that the more crucial and important content in the latter half of the scroll was cut off.

Just as Milo was frantically searching the scroll for any usable clues, Daisy suddenly tugged at the hem of his trench coat and asked, puzzled:
Is that your friend?

"Ok?"

Milo looked up and saw Wendigo. This guy had initially cowered outside and dared not come in, but somehow he had climbed in and was now using his still-growing teeth to gnaw at the abyss fissure floating on the ground.
