Intelligence Lock.

When this word appeared in Matthew’s mind, it was as bright as the newborn

sun.

The haze of memories was swept away.

A part of the knowledge that was originally like the fog became clear.

He held his forehead with one hand and reminisced,

“A ritual.”

I read in a book that an evil organization issued a declaration of war before invading a certain territory. This is the beginning of a ritual called ‘Plunder.’ This ritual originated in the Age of Enlightenment when the gods were divided into two camps, good and evil…’

The Age of Enlightenment.

It was an era when the gods dominated the human world with their own power.

At that time, the internal conflicts among the gods were very serious.

They were generally divided into two camps, one good and one evil, attacking each other.

After many years of development.

The children of the good gods controlled the towns and villages, while the believers of the evil gods wandered in the wilderness and ruins.

In order to please the god they served, the followers of the Evil God would often attack and plunder towns and villages on a regular basis.

Before this.

They would hold a grand ” activation ceremony which included spreading fear, that is, spreading a declaration of war to the target town and creating a large number of rumours of impending disaster.

Through this action.

They would have the opportunity to disrupt the situation in the target town in advance, which would reduce the resistance to their subsequent attacks. Even if they could not achieve this goal perfectly, they could still gain the favour of the god they believed in through the ritual itself.

This would allow them to obtain stronger evil power.

“So, the act of issuing a letter of challenge is not only the beginning of the plundering ritual but also a part of the activation ritual?”

Richard asked seriously.

Matthew nodded.

If they are indeed imitating the believers of the Evil God in the Age of Enlightenment, then there is a high chance that they will do two more things to complement the activation ritual completely.

“The first was to create an ‘iconic event’. The impact of this event must be great, and the outcome must be tragic. It would be best if it could be linked to something that the residents of the town were familiar with. “Then, they would publicize the tragedy of this case, spreading panic.

“Once this was done, the activation ceremony was officially completed.

“In the Age of Enlightenment, the evil gods would bestow a large number of divine blessings at this stage as a reward, and also to pave the way for the subsequent official ‘plundering ritual’.”

Richard said approvingly, “Look, I knew you could do it. This information is a big help. I’ll go straight to Zeller and tell him about this.”

Matthew thought for a moment.

“If the intelligence lock really exists, won’t you soon forget about this too?” Richard smiled peacefully.

” Theoretically, yes, but that’s something that happened in a higher dimension. If we deliberately remember these things, we won’t forget them in the short term. The curse of the gods isn’t that powerful. The terrifying thing about it is that it’s pervasive.

‘ Besides, if something leaves a deep impression on you, so deep that you will never forget it, then the curse will not be able to do anything to you.

It’s like I shouldn’t have remembered the intelligence lock, but I knew it existed because… I have a deep impression of it.”

Matthew nodded thoughtfully.

He noticed that when Richard said these words, although its tone was very calm, there was always a strange look in its eyes.

This was exactly the same as when he said, “This world is ultimately the world of spellcasters.”

Matthew guessed that this retired rogue had a story that he could not forget.

There was a high chance that this story was related to the spellcaster and the intelligence lock.

The two of them then exchanged some secrets that might be hidden behind the plundering ritual.

Richard believed that the actions of the three major organizations were not just imitating the ritual.

They would definitely be able to draw strength from the “Activation Ritual.”

As for the source of this power, it was still difficult to determine whether it was the Void Ruler Yurkus that Matthew had previously discovered in the secret letter or an evil god who had been hiding his strength for many years and suddenly made a high-profile comeback.

“At least we can predict tnelr next move In aavance.”

Richard got up and carefully tidied up his clothes. “I’ll go find Zeller now. If it’s convenient, you’d better go to the lord’s residence tomorrow. This is to prevent the most extreme situation from happening, which is that both Zeller and I have forgotten about this matter.”

Matthew agreed.

“But do I just go to the lord’s manor like that? Would Rheagar have any objections?”

He asked.

Richard glanced at him.

“Why would Rheagar object? His daughter has been clamouring every day to go to your house for tutoring. Now that you are going to him, it’s much safer for him.

“In my opinion, he will pay you to be Sif’s tutor sooner or later.

“Just treat it as familiarizing yourself with your future work environment in advance.”

When he left the Craftsmen Protection Association.

Matthew was still memorizing the knowledge he had lost and regained. The feeling of forgetting at any time was terrible. He could only deepen it repeatedly and planned to jot down everything related to the intelligence lock in his daily manuscripts when he went back.

He passed through two busy streets.

The crowd gradually became deserted.

Matthew came to the front of a house in the northern part of the region.

Compared to the Craftsmen’s Protection Association’s building.

The house seemed to have been in disrepair for a long time. Perhaps because it had been in a fire, the walls of the facade were covered in black spots..
