Berserker Baelgar was the first unable to restrain his curiosity.
He opened his wide mouth, asking in a muffled voice, "Hasn't your Holy Light Church dispatched people to explore the Soulstone Temple in this thousand-year span?"
With a bitter smile, Hills pulled out a blank scroll, embossing the patterns from the grand gates onto it, and explained, "How could that be? The Soulstone Temple, along with the vast expanse of the surrounding Mystic Forest, has always been a focal monitoring area for our Holy Light Church. For thousands of years, this area would sporadically witness the emergence of one or two dark-attribute creatures."
"It's just that the Holy Light Church has been too busy, and the appearance frequency of those creatures isn't high enough to warrant persistent attention. This task has always been handled by the Holy Light Church staff from nearby towns coming on excursions."
