Chapter 370 The Legend of Immortality

The most awkward thing about Rob actually made him feel during the entire investigation process was time.

From Hobson to Foreman, and to the other party's appearance again not long ago, the interval between this room was as long as 68 years. Considering that the secret guardian could not leave Siamus, the scope was reduced very small. There were only a few people who had been in school for the past 68 years, but the future Super Magician knew very well that the other party's cunning level could not leave such obvious flaws.

This is true. The suspicion of the elderly in the school was quickly eliminated one after another, so Rob finally turned his attention to another group of very special people.

Students - they are the most mobile part of Siamus. If the other party is mixed in school as a student, he can return to Siamus after graduation by changing his identities. Through this method, he can live here forever like an invisible person without leaving any marks.

However, this still cannot explain the problem of time. Although the school does not have strict age restrictions on recruiting new students, the reports are usually young people. Few people over 20 years old, and even fewer than 30 years old. Although a person can always study in school by constantly changing his identities, it is a bit too eye-catching if he enters Siamus as a student when he gets older.

On the other hand, Rob did not think that the secret guardian would be replaced very frequently, because this could easily lead to problems in loyalty and also caused several guardians to be alive at the same time. It seemed to increase the manpower, but in fact it increased the risk of leaks.

What really made Rob suspicious was the black se golem, a golem with wisdom. Its appearance means that a magician has touched the forbidden area, and the future super magician Lord vaguely noticed something.

Later, Rob heard the word "Devil" from Isabel's mouth. When the female magician from the heretics first saw him, she obviously misunderstood him as someone else. Her horror looked like she was disguised, so Rob later went to St. Rest of the Church of St. Restfulness to find clues related to the devil, and told him another story before leaving.

Eight hundred years ago, a monster appeared in the area of ​​Guderis. It could disguise itself as a human and live among humans. It was just like others on weekdays. It would not reveal its true face until nightfall. It specifically hooked up young single women in the dark and secluded alleys, tricked them back to their residences, and had fun with them. Then, it killed them before dawn and dug out their hearts for dinner the next day. The residents of Guderis gave it a name called the Heart-Eating Demon.

The Dark Night Armed Forces have also paid attention to this monster called the Heart Eater, but after investigation, it was found that this was just a fabricated folk horror legend. In the past ten years, there has been no large-scale disappearance of young women in Guderis, and no one of the murdered young women had been dug out of their hearts. Therefore, the Dark Night Armed Forces did not continue to investigate, but those who investigated this matter according to the rules still recorded the results of the investigation.

Because strictly speaking, this is just a misinformation of rumors, when Rob first asked Father Wilder, the priest did not remember that there were several similar incidents every year in Goodris, and many of them were monsters made up by adults to scare their children and ask them to go home before supper.

Folk legends like this are generally not immortal. They often have an initial version. Based on this, they have been processed and passed on by a lot of exaggerated processing and word of mouth to form the final appearance. There are two points in the story told by Father Wilder. Rob is interested in. First, why the objects killed by the Heart-Eating Demon are young women, and second, why the other party digs out their hearts.

The first point is better guess, which indirectly reflects that the protagonist of the original version was a male, and most likely a young male. The second point is more interesting. The heart has many meanings. In many religious hearts, the heart was once considered the source of life. Some cults even firmly believe that eating other people's hearts can prolong their own lives.

Combined with the situation of the little golem, Rob realized that the opponent they encountered this time was probably a guy who had obtained immortality through some means.

But he finally remembered the story that Teacher Donnathus told was because of Isabel's terrified expression at that time. The female magician came from the heresy trial. As a dark institution hidden in the shadow of the temple, she should have seen too many blood and dark things, and it was almost impossible for ordinary monsters to make her so panic.

——Unless she realizes that the person she is going to deal with this time is the ancestor of the magician.

However, the matter about Merlin is not easy to investigate, and no one even remembers this name. He seems to be invisible in the ghost of history. He leaves almost no trace except this school with constantly changing names. Instead, some folk legends appear from time to time. Rob collected all the ancient legends related to Goodris in the Raphael Library, trying to piece together more clues.

However, this is not an easy task. There are too many folk legends in Guderis City over the past nine hundred years, and it is even more difficult to distinguish those legends from each other. In addition, you have to find the connection between these legends and strip out their valuable parts. This is a big project for Rob.

So it was not until the future Super Magician who had completed the job before the start of the freshman competition, and then it was further confirmed by Xavier.

"Wait, do you say he was from Roland's era? But how could humans have such a long life?" Lolo looked unbelievable. The dragon only had a lifespan of 750 years, not to mention that the guy in front of him had no trace of old age. His naked hands were slender and elegant, which was definitely not the hands that an old man over 900 years old should have.

"Why can't it? The so-called gods are just humans with eternal life." Merlin curled his lips and said disapprovingly. The ability of this guy to say such arrogant words proves why he has been on the top of the wanted list by the heresy trial.
