After the two burly men descended the mountain slope, they walked along a small path and entered a deep mountain valley.
At the top of the cliff in the depths of the valley stood a monastery with a typical European architectural style. The two burly men went directly into the monastery.
Long Xiao did not dare to enter the monastery after approaching it. In the eyes of the two burly men, their master was like a god. Their master's strength was definitely not low, and if he rashly entered, he might be discovered.
Long Xiao observed the terrain. There was a forest near the monastery, which was suitable for hiding.
After entering the forest, Long Xiao chose a large tree and sat on a branch, waiting for dawn.
After a while, the sky gradually lit up, and Long Xiao began to observe the interior of the monastery.
Initially, the monastery was quiet. Around eight o'clock, melodious bell chimes rang out. A group of monks in robes, with their heads bowed and bowls in their hands, came out of their rooms and walked towards a large building.
The monastery was very quiet. The monks walked unhurriedly, with their heads down.
Long Xiao stayed in the tree for a day. Everything in the monastery was normal. Long Xiao did not see the two burly men, nor their master.
For three consecutive days, Long Xiao kept a close watch on the monastery. Everything in the monastery was normal. The two burly men did not appear again, as if they had completely disappeared.
On the fourth morning, Long Xiao practiced for a while, opened his eyes, and observed the monastery again. He saw two Nordic men enter the monastery.
After a careful look, Long Xiao realized that he had seen these two people at Nangong Manor. One was named Lawrence, and the other was named Michel.
"So it was the Illuminati who captured me. It seems this time I've made an enemy of the Illuminati," Long Xiao muttered to himself.
Long Xiao knew quite a bit about the Illuminati. The Illuminati was the largest organization in the world, and the richest people in Western countries were basically members of the Illuminati.
This publicly available information was of little value to Long Xiao. He wanted to know what kind of organization the Illuminati was and what their purpose was.
The best way to understand the Illuminati was to enter and understand it from within; nothing could be learned from the outside.
He got down from the tree and returned directly to the ancient castle. He had not shown himself for three days. As soon as Long Xiao appeared, the bearded man asked him where he had been.
Long Xiao told the bearded man in broken English that he had been attacked and knocked unconscious, had been in a coma in the mountains for two days, and had almost died.
The bearded man asked curiously, "Who attacked you? Did you see them?"
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Two burly men, they looked silly, and they were holding chain hammers."
The bearded man snorted coldly and said, "So it was those two guys. They are from the Illuminati monastery."
"The Illuminati monastery, but why did they attack me?" Long Xiao asked curiously.
The bearded man sighed and said, "Actually, we believe in the same god as the Illuminati monastery. It's just that our philosophies are different, which is why we cultivate separately."
"Do they have a feud with us?" Long Xiao asked.
The bearded man nodded and said, "Yes, a big feud. Our philosophy is to coexist with humanity, while they want to destroy humanity and establish a new world. We are friends and brothers with humans, while humans are only slaves in their eyes."
"Aren't you humans?" Long Xiao asked curiously.
Judging by his appearance, the bearded man was a normal person. Long Xiao couldn't understand why he said he wasn't human.
The bearded man nodded and said, "Some things I'm not very clear about. If you want to know, ask the Son of God. He should know everything."
Long Xiao followed the bearded man to the Son of God's room.
Pushing open the simple wooden door, the beautiful Nordic man was sitting on a simple wooden chair, writing with a quill pen.
Seeing Long Xiao and the others enter, the beautiful Nordic man put down his quill pen and said with a smile, "Welcome, brother from the East."
The beautiful Nordic man's Chinese was very standard. Long Xiao smiled and said, "Hello, Your Excellency the Son of God, my name is Long Xiao. I am an ordinary doctor from Donghai City, Huaxia."
The Son of God shook Long Xiao's hand and said with a smile, "Eastern medicine is ancient and mysterious. I like it very much, but I've never been able to fully understand it."
"We can discuss Eastern medicine when we have time. I've come to you today because I have a question to ask for your advice."
The Son of God pointed to the wooden chair opposite him and said, "Please sit down, Brother Long Xiao."
Long Xiao sat down opposite the Son of God. The Son of God waved his hand, and the bearded man bowed to the Son of God and withdrew from the room.
The Son of God turned to Long Xiao and said, "Brother Long Xiao, please ask whatever questions you have."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Your Excellency the Son of God, I want to know what is the difference between you and humans, and what kind of organization the Illuminati is."
The Son of God nodded and said, "A good question. I knew you would ask me sooner or later. And I should answer this question sooner rather than later, as the people from the monastery might come to demand your return in a few days."
"You know I was captured by people from the monastery?" Long Xiao asked.
The Son of God nodded and said, "Of course. The reason is simple. Very few people here know about it, and it's very hidden. It's almost impossible for someone to wander in here by mistake."
"What is this place, and why is it impossible for people to wander in here?" Long Xiao asked.
The Son of God smiled and said, "This place is protected by ancient formations. Let alone ordinary people who don't understand formations, even if you humans had Heavenly Realm experts, they couldn't get in."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Your formations are indeed special. I was trapped by a formation and almost couldn't get out."
After a brief chat, the Son of God told Long Xiao that they were not humans but another kind of intelligent creature. However, after years of evolution, their appearance was the same as humans.
Regarding the Illuminati, the Son of God told Long Xiao that the Illuminati was a community of their race. All members of the Illuminati were of their race.
This was the first time Long Xiao had heard that there were other races among humans. He asked curiously, "Does the current humanity include your race and ordinary humans?"
The Son of God shook his head and said, "Humanity is actually a general term for intelligent beings on Earth, not only including the Illuminati and your kind, but also various other intelligent beings."
"Other intelligent beings? Are there other non-humans among humans?" Long Xiao asked curiously.
The Son of God nodded and said, "Of course. What you call humans are creatures evolved from primates. What we call humans are intelligent beings evolved from various animals."
Talking with the Son of God opened Long Xiao's eyes. He couldn't help but recall the ancient racial wars mentioned in the classics of the "Dragon Scripture."
"Your Excellency the Son of God, did the ancient racial wars really happen?" Long Xiao asked.
The Son of God looked at Long Xiao in surprise and said, "How do you know about the ancient racial wars?"
Long Xiao smiled and said, "My surname is Long. Our Long family has ancient heritage and ancient legends."
The Son of God chuckled and said, "It seems my guess was correct. You are from the Huaxia Long family. You are right. In the ancient racial wars, the Long family was the leader of the human race. The Long family led the human race to defeat the other races. The other races were forced to evolve into human forms to survive."
"How many alien races are there among humans, do you know, Your Excellency the Son of God?"
The Son of God shook his head and said, "I only know that there were sixty-four types during the ancient racial wars. I don't know how many are left now."
