The true god that the Granger family believes in is the God of the Sun and the Earth [Old Man with the Lamp], so this century-old chapel is also the Church of the Sun. Generally speaking, the specifications of the church in the cemetery are different from the regular church.
De also saw the Church of the Sun in the cemetery for the first time.
Although it has been abandoned for more than 300 years, the cathedral in the urban area of Randall Valley City has no longer sent priests, but it was probably repaired out of respect by the loggers who worked here, or it was abandoned for some other reason.
The church in the cemetery looks like it has been maintained, and it doesn't look like it was destroyed three hundred years ago.
The great earthquake in 1498 CE destroyed the most important underground tomb area in the Granger family cemetery. According to Earl Granger, although attempts were made to reopen the closed underground tomb area after the earthquake
, but later found that it was too difficult and gave up.
The underground rock formations in this area are extremely thick. If you want to dig out the ground, you will actually dig out big rocks instead of soil. Therefore, there is no need to worry about someone easily stealing those dust-sealed tombs. And wait until 1854 in the General Calendar
When foreigners arrive, the only area worth exploring is the small church in front of them.
"If it hadn't been mentioned in the memoir that Mr. Lyman kept one of the four gem keys for future generations, I would really doubt whether today was a waste of time."
Shade muttered. In the book "The Butterfly Family: My Life", only a few chapters were used to introduce Mr. Lyman's arrangements for his own funeral. The book did not mention the issue of the location of the cemetery, but it did.
The whereabouts of the four gems.
One is stored near the statue of the ancient god together with the memoirs; one is entrusted to a friend to take away from home; one is given to the most precious daughter to pass on to future generations; one is thrown into the trading market and lets fate decide whether it will go away.
direction.
Because the colors of the four gemstones were mentioned in the memoir, Shade was able to determine that the white gemstone provided by Stone Oxenfurt was the one he "entrusted his friends to take away from home."
Therefore, Shade thought that he should have gained something from coming all the way here today. If not, he could only consider spending precious coins and asking Luvia to help with divination.
The gray exterior wall of the chapel in the cemetery is clinging to vines that have withered in winter. All the windows are boarded up, but fortunately the door is not.
The lower end of the rusty metal door was almost integrated with the ground. Shade pushed it but couldn't push it open. After unlocking it with the door key, he still couldn't push it open. Only then did he realize that the deformation of the door frame had completely blocked the door.
"I apologize for that."
He said softly, then kicked the door open, and reminded himself to find a way to seal the door again before leaving later.
The interior of the long-closed chapel is extremely cold and smells of corruption. The area of this chapel is quite limited and generally only includes a main hall for prayer and an area for clergy to live.
At this time, the main hall was empty, with some construction debris piled up in the corners. The remains of dead mice and dead spiders were dumped in a hidden corner, and it was not known which one died of starvation first.
Shade bent down and tried to lift up the iron door that he had completely kicked off the door frame and place it against the wall. However, after lifting the thick metal door, he found that the lock position of the door showed signs of damage.
I don't know if this happened tens or hundreds of years ago.
And then, he actually saw traces of blood on the rusty metal handle on the inside of the door. There was an extremely sharp protrusion on the door handle, which looked like it had been accidentally scratched.
"Interesting, this is who has been here - Echo of Blood."
Squinting his eyes slightly, the unnoticeable blood stains on the door handle immediately began to glow with scarlet light.
Shade then looked at the ground under the door frame, and sure enough he saw dripping blood. It seemed that the area where the wound appeared was quite large.
However, the owner of the wound did not seem to have the intention to deal with his own wound. Shade looked towards the inside of the church and saw blood dripping scarlet on the ground at regular intervals.
He followed the blood stain inward, but found that the blood stain did not spread to the back of the church where the clergy lived, but extended all the way to the stone pulpit and then disappeared.
"The wound he was treating here?"
Because the windows were closed, the light inside the church was quite weak. In order to prevent the ranger from following him again, Shade did not light up the light on his fingertips. Therefore, he could easily see the pulpit in the darkness.
On the lower side of the rear, there is also a faint scarlet light representing blood stains.
The amount of blood stains attached here is extremely rare. If the sunlight at the door was not able to reach such a deep place, Shade would not be able to observe it at all:
"Instead of bandaging and cleaning my wounds, I came here in a hurry. What's going on here?"
Behind the pulpit is a place where clergymen stand, similar to a podium, and the lower part is usually empty. Shade also bent down and relied on his dark vision to observe the location of the blood stains. He tried to reach out and touch it, and then he was surprised
It was discovered that there was a stone button that could be pressed on the inside under the stone pulpit, and a faint trace of blood was attached here:
"Is there really a secret?"
He did not press the button in a hurry, but first dropped the Silence Charm, and then pressed the button that seemed to be stuck after making sure it was ready.
And with the harsh friction sound that only Shade could hear, the entire pulpit moved to the right, revealing the entrance to the underground and the steps at the entrance.
Shade took a slight breath, and was about to light up the light on his fingertips and walk down, but heard a dull roar coming from below the cave entrance. Just as he was thinking about what it was, a miserable green light shone from the cave entrance.
came out.
"Moonlight Great Sword."
The silver sword was pulled out from the air. Two seconds later, as the pale green light became stronger and stronger, Shade also saw the source of the light. A man was holding an oil lamp in his left hand and a shovel in his right hand.
The evil spirit in rags and rags with a skull-like face floated out from the depths of the cave along the steps:
"Is he dressed as a tomb robber?"
The dark interior of the church was reflected in a gloomy green, and Shade took two steps back to leave a fighting space for himself. The floating undead roared again, and after holding the oil lamp high, it actually turned into smoke and disappeared below the cave.
【Left side.】
As the roar of the undead came again from the left, Shade hurriedly dodged to the right. Then a pale green light appeared at the source of the sound. The evil spirit wielding a shovel struck at the place where Shade was originally standing. The pale green weapon
Sparks hit the ground.
Although the undead looked extremely terrifying, Shade was used to seeing similar things in Fort Midhill.
While the evil spirit lifted up the fallen shovel, Shade took a step forward and waved the sword in his hand. The sword passed directly through the evil spirit's body, but it did not directly destroy it, but instead dimmed the color of its soul.
many.
"Um?"
This is the first time I have encountered an evil spirit that is resistant to the Moonlight Sword.
The evil spirit opened its arms and raised its chest, the mouth of the skull face opened, and the rune light flashed across its forehead. At the same time as the ear-piercing scream appeared, obvious shock ripples appeared in the air around it.
Shade, who was nearby, was swept by the ripples and felt that his spiritual recovery speed suddenly slowed down. This was not a permanent slowdown, but it would take at least half a minute to recover:
"No, this is not a normally formed undead! It is the guard here!"
This special method of dealing with ring warlocks can only be spawned by special undead rituals. After understanding this, Shade did not intend to hold back. When the evil spirit held an oil lamp and waved a shovel like a sickle, it quickly floated towards him.
, he raised his free left hand and slashed forward with a moonlight slash.
The undead's shovel hit the silver arc of light, and then the shovel emitting green light died together with the Silver Moon Slash. This further strengthened the speculation that the undead was a ring warlock who set up to see the door.
Shade continued to retreat, and this time he raised his left hand, and the rotating silver light wheel took shape in his hand. The moonlight wheel was thrown towards the evil spirit who had lost his weapon, and the evil spirit immediately picked up the oil lamp that emitted green light in his hand.
The lamp did not provide protection, but it actually absorbed the light of the moonlight wheel. But as a price, the lamp collapsed into points of light because it could not contain the power of the holy moonlight.
"It's now!"
Shade still didn't choose to get close to this evil spirit who didn't know how many abilities he still had. This time, the lightning in his hand exploded. The silver thunder gun left a bright silver light mark in the dim church, and then penetrated straight through the evil spirit's chest.
, exploded together with the evil spirit.
The thunder gun did not create much explosive smoke, but only left some jumping arcs on the ground.
After the smoke and dust dissipated and he carefully confirmed that the evil spirit had really been eliminated, Shade breathed a sigh of relief and walked down the hole exposed under the pulpit.
The stairs are not long, and below the entrance is a relatively flat square basement that is about half the area of the Shade family's bedroom.
Two skeletons were lying next to the wall at the end of the stairs. One of them was dressed exactly the same as the evil spirit just now. They were the tomb robbers who came together.
In the rather large underground space, stone tables are placed on two walls and cabinets are placed on one wall. On the table are flasks, funnels, balances, beakers and a few books, while in the cabinets are various biological material samples. Because
They are preserved with potions like formalin, so one-third of the contents of the bottles in the cabinet are still intact. Shade can see the frogs, snakes and things like tiger whip soaked in them.
thing.
As for the ground between the table and the cabinet, there were painted huge ritual arrays that, even though they had been severely faded, were still exquisite and complex in Shade's opinion. He didn't even have to touch them, he could feel the traces remaining in them.
