Chapter 247: Lord of the Ashes

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.

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..
