Chapter 43: Traveling between the past and the present

In an instant, the ladies held their breath at the same time, and the ancient temple immediately fell into silence. There was no sound in the dark corridor, only the slightly rapid heartbeat of the girls echoed in their ears.

This is a very strange temple. There is no window on all the walls. After entering the temple, it is completely isolated from the outside world. The light from the outside cannot penetrate into the inside of the temple. However, the temple was not trapped in darkness. At the top of the temple wall, a brick and stone always emit light at every three meters, illuminating the space inside the temple. No one understands the reason why these bricks and stones are shining. Even in Vivian's eyes, these bricks are just the most ordinary bricks. It is logical that they cannot emit light. In the end, they can only attribute the reason to the special technology of the First Age or the omnipotence of divine power.

If it is an ordinary building, if it is built in this style, the air inside the building must be very dirty. However, although this temple is closed, the air inside is not bad. It should be a magic array that hides air purification or similar equipment. Although it is impossible to feel the magic fluctuations during the operation of these equipment, from the perspective of effect, these equipment are the inevitable reason.

In the closed environment, the transmission of sound is very sensitive, but even so, the ladies still cannot hear the sound that Diana wants them to hear. However, there is indeed a sound, because Panis's ears moved, and he also said: "This sound... came from the underground. Well, it seems that they have entered the main part of the temple all the way with the ghouls."

"The underground is the main part?" Catherine asked in surprise: "I have never heard of any temple that will make the basement the main body, it will be very disrespectful to the gods."

"Hehe, for the gods nowadays, even Deniya, whom Lina believes in, this is certainly disrespectful." Panis spread his hands and explained: "But for Danakus, who is in charge of death, the underground part is his body, so it is normal to use it as the subject."

"Are we going down?" Diana did not make her own decision at this time, but asked Penis: "It's a little troublesome to go down. Although I can hear the sound and smell it, it's all uploaded directly, and I can't find where the stairs are."

"It's okay." Panis smiled a little sad: "I know, we were in that temple back then, but we searched most of the places completely. Things like stairs are so easy to find. Come with me."

"Are you so relaxed after you entered the temple?" Vivian kept recording in his notebook: "The temple that has been silent for countless years is empty, with countless treasures and secrets hidden waiting to be discovered. Is this the same thing?"

"Easy? Hehe, hehe." Panis's laughter was full of weirdness: "You don't want to know what we encountered at the beginning, it was simply the most desperate nightmare."

"Are the people of God?" Catherine tentatively guessed: "I remember you mentioned that there are the bodies of the people of God."

"Sorry, I'm lying." Panis twitched his lips and shook his head, "It's not the corpse of the people of God, but... the corpse of the people of God."

"I understand, you also met the undead at that time. Is it a skeleton or a skeleton knight?" Since Panis started leading the way, Lina has resumed walking with her feet. Diana escaped into the depths of Lina's heart, and Lina controls her body by herself: "It's true that it is Danakus' temple, and she always has a relationship with the undead."

"Not a skeleton, not a skeleton knight." Panis did not answer, but shook his head and sighed softly.

"This is a meditation room, a place for priests to meditate and examine themselves." Pushing open a door, inside it was a room without light on the top of the wall, Pennis introduced like a guide: "If it is the First Age, you may be able to see four or five high-level priests sitting quietly in this dark room. Of course, you will definitely not see it now."

"Hu." In my memory, several balls of dark light containing devastating power rushed towards me the moment the door opened, and seven mummies sitting quietly raised their heads in the room. They showed no signs of life. They should be considered dead, but in addition to their appearance, they retained a large part of the characteristics of living people, making it impossible to tell whether they were alive or dead. These mummies have one common feature, with a deep eye socket on their foreheads, and sparks of energy were pounding inside.

Penis closed his eyes, ignored the scene in his memory, stepped into the room, led everyone through the room in the dark, pushed open the door on the other wall, and entered another corridor.

"If the two temple rooms have exactly the same effect, this corridor leads to the conference room and the confessional room." Panis continued: "On the other side is the library, and the downward staircase closest to us is in the library."

"Library?" Lina and Vivian raised their eyebrows at the same time and asked in unison: "Are you sure it's a library?"

"You'll know if you look." Panis smiled, chose the direction to the left, and walked along the long corridor. The sound of footsteps echoed in the dead corridor, clear and harsh.

"Swoosh." In my memory, a giant three-eyed skeleton about two and a half meters tall jumped out of an open door on one side of the wall. The strange-shaped battle axe in his hand swept across the corridor with a terrifying whistling sound, and a translucent breath blade formed by fighting energy roared past. The three-eyed skeleton was extremely agile, had a balanced offense and defense ability, and had a strong sense of autonomy. No matter how you look at it, it was a normal powerful enemy, not a dead creature.

"Haha." Walking between memory and reality, Panis laughed softly, allowing the three-eyed skeletons in his memory to pass through his body, walked to the end of the corridor, and pushed open the two black doors at the end. Behind the door was a huge room, rows of giant bookshelfs allowed the room to be placed slowly, and the bookshelfs of fifty or sixty meters high directly connected to the roof, looking magnificent.

"Yes, the library." Panis nodded, pointed to the bookshelf and said, "But it seems like a pity."

Vivian and Lina lowered their heads in frustration and said nothing. It was indeed a pity that the bookshelf in the huge library was empty. Not only was there no books, but even a piece of paper did not exist. There were only layers of empty bookshelf like open mouths, mocking the two disappointed girls.

"Look, that's the stairs." Panis pointed his finger in front of him, and in a corner of the library, a spiral staircase spun downwards: "It seems that it's worth thankful that the two temples have exactly the same specifications, which really saves a lot of trouble."

"Is this staircase made of wood? It won't be decayed." Catherine carefully pinched the handrail of the staircase. The handrail was dry and solid, just like a new one: "How could it be? The temple was not newly built, look at the texture of this wood."

"Don't be so surprised, sister." Lina shook her head and said, "Don't use common sense to consider a temple that is concerned by gods. If gods want to, they can make their temple look new in millions of years, as long as they have ideas."

"There are also the techniques of the First Age Gods." Panis added in a low voice, but no one except himself heard it.

Stepping onto the solid wooden staircase, Panis looked back at the first staircase. The light at the top of the wall sprinkled from the high point, making Panis unable to help but cover his eyes.

"Raise, the Holy Light." In my memory, the girl's crisp voice echoed, and the light dragged on the last winged man slapped his snow-white wings and floated in the air. The dazzling light burst out from the girl's hands, making everyone who looked back could not help but cover their eyes. What they heard was the girl's crisp and innocent laughter.

"Tread, step, step." The five people slowly descended along the wooden stairs, and made a monotonous pedaling sound under their feet. The spiral stairs were very high, and they walked down nearly forty meters before they stepped onto the flat ground. The underground space was also a giant library, integrated with the upper floor.

"This is also a library," said Panis. "But now we have already stepped into the main part of the temple."

"Do I need to ask Diana to continue tracing?" Lina still had deep resentment for the lack of books in the library, and she could hear the resentment in her voice.

"No need." Panis shook his head and said, "Since they came down by themselves, it means that they not only want to play hide-and-seek, but also have some special purposes. Since they have special purposes, their goal may only be the only one. Central Altar, don't worry, I know the way there."

"Who would come to such a place without a special purpose?" Catherine rolled her eyes and said, "Also, did you really guess who those people are?"

"Probably, hehe." Panis said with a silly grin, "If you ask Vivian to show me that leg, maybe I can be more sure, hehehehe."

"Get out." Catherine pushed away Panis, who stopped to block the road, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think I don't know what you want to do. Humph, you're mentally recovering now, right? You're starting to do this again. If I had known, I would have let you escape just now."

"Hehe, it's too late to say anything." Panis smiled like a trick: "Since you picked me up again, it won't be that easy for you to drive me away this time. Then there are something you regret."

"Is that true?" Catherine glanced at the one-handed sword around her waist, and asked with a smile on her face: "Since I will regret it in the future, should I deal with the source of regret in advance now?"

"I'm wrong, please forgive me." Panis' apology was always so timely and sincere.
