Chapter 745: Kaqinuo
After Andiya restrained the power on her body, the fluctuations of Source Power on Lingyun also dissipated accordingly.
"I wonder if there are any records about the Noklos Family here." Lingyun gazed at the Library Hall and began to search once again.
"Whoosh—"
Book after book flew before Lingyun, forming a barrier in front of him.
Lingyun casually took one from among them and began to flip through it. The moment he saw the content on the page, a faint, imperceptible glimmer flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The Noklos Family was a family specializing in soul research; their family's research in the field of souls was the most advanced on the entire Continent, and even the God of Death could not compare to them in certain aspects of the soul.
"Soul research?" Lingyun stared at this book, inexplicably recalling the previous situation with the Dark Holy Sword.
One must know that the Dark Holy Sword was one of the Spirit Swords he had forged with his own hands. And the person who played dirty against the Dark Holy Sword had poured a large number of broken souls into it. However, the Dark Holy Sword was not a simple existence; the first test the remnant souls entering the Dark Holy Sword faced was the erosion of the Dark Power within it. If they were ordinary broken souls, they would likely have been completely eroded by the Dark Power the moment they entered the Dark Holy Sword. But those souls had clearly undergone special treatment; not only did they withstand the erosion of the Dark Power, but they also caused damage to the seal of the Dark Holy Sword.
There was another point, and that was the mystery of the death of the first Pope of the Light Church after the Millennium Holy War. In the records of the Holy See, the first Pope and his subordinates were attacked by mysterious people, and those people all used Soul Magic. If it were just one person, Lingyun might not have thought so much. But if all the attackers could use Soul Magic, then it was worth pondering. Finding that many Soul Mages at the same time was not an easy task. The most important point was that Soul Magic at that time had already been lost; people on the Continent who knew Soul Magic almost did not exist.
And among the families on the current Continent, none were proficient in this kind of operation. On the contrary, this family, which had been investigated by Nia, was extremely proficient in this kind of operation. Moreover, the other party had even dispatched their own people to lurk in the outskirts of the Elf Kingdom, which made Lingyun have to start suspecting this family.
"Millennium Holy War." Lingyun spoke again.
The books in front of Lingyun decreased once more, but in the end, there were still dozens left. Lingyun closed his eyes, his right hand gave a slight flick, and he took one out from among them.
When he saw the name on the book cover, Lingyun could not help but raise an eyebrow slightly. The name of this book was actually The Fall of the Noklos Family's First Genius.
"A genius's fall?" Lingyun flipped open the book in his hand with interest.
The genius mentioned in the book was an existence that could be called a monster who appeared in the Noklos Family during the Millennium Holy War, named Kaqinuo. Kaqinuo was the son of the Noklos Family head at the time; he revealed powerful innate Soul Power when he was born, and in his later cultivation, he advanced by leaps and bounds, leaving his peers in the same clan far behind. Soul Magic, which was extremely difficult for ordinary people, was so easy to understand in his eyes. At the age of fifty, he became a God Domain-level Soul Mage, an achievement that all Soul Mages looked up to.
Moreover, Kaqinuo was not the type of person who only had cultivation but no combat experience. He stepped onto the battlefield of the Holy War at the age of twenty, and relying on his own superb Soul Magic, he played a large number of the Demon Army in the palm of his hand; the number of powerful Demon Generals who died at his hands was countless.
However, in the end, this genius seemed to have become arrogant. He thought that by relying on his own abilities, even confronting the Lord of the Demon World would be no problem. But how could the strength of the Lord of the Demon World be compared to those Demon Generals? In their first clash, Kaqinuo suffered an unprecedented defeat. All his attacks had no effect on the Lord of the Demon World, and the Lord of the Demon World killed this genius of the Noklos Family completely with just a single move.
After Kaqinuo died, the entire Noklos Family also suffered a heavy blow, falling into a low point from then on, and never appeared again. And it was also at that time that Soul Magic on the Continent entered a state of being lost.
Judging from the records in this book, the author was in a state of regret for Kaqinuo and the entire Noklos Family. In his conjecture, if Kaqinuo could have continued to grow, he might not have been unable to become a titan capable of wrestling with the Lord of the Demon World in the future. But things in this world were just so helpless; a powerful family just disappeared like this in the Millennium Holy War.
"That's not right. According to the records of the Holy See, the team that attacked the Light Church at that time was very powerful. After all, that was a team led by the first Pope, and most of them were experts left over from the Millennium Holy War. To annihilate these experts, even with a sneak attack, the strength of those people could not have been weak. If the people who ambushed the first Pope were really from the Noklos Family, then this book has a lot of water in it. It is possible that this author also did not know the secrets hidden within." Lingyun closed the book in his hand.
"That's right, and this book also doesn't say what kind of blow the Noklos Family suffered. Just because of the fall of one genius, such a powerful family disappeared like this, and later didn't even make a splash; it's a bit contrary to common sense." Andiya withdrew her gaze from the book and said.
"Indeed, there might be something fishy behind this Noklos Family," Lingyun said.
"Let our Elf race handle this matter!" Andiya said.
"Don't forget, the Noklos Family is a family proficient in Soul Magic; can your people evade the detection of Soul Magic?" Lingyun asked.
"On this point, you underestimate our Elf race too much!" Andiya curled her lips and said. "In our Elf race, there is a special Elf unit, and this Elf unit possesses the ability to shield against Soul Magic. They originally existed to deal with those races of the Demon Race that were proficient in Soul Magic; I didn't expect they could still come in handy now."
"Hmm, that works too. However, when they set off, have them bring this." Lingyun stretched out his hand, and several brooches appeared in his hand.
"This is?" Andiya took the brooches from Lingyun's hand with some confusion.
"This brooch can shield against Fate Power," Lingyun said.
"Shield against Fate Power?" Andiya was stunned, and only then did she realize that she seemed to have forgotten that behind the mastermind, there was also a Fate Mage.
"Let them go and return quickly; I have an intuition telling me that we are already very close to the truth," Lingyun said.
Andiya nodded, and then her figure turned into dots of emerald green light and disappeared from the great hall.
