67 Sihuai Sanctuary
Starting from Yu Hong Fort, he turned along the main road into Sister Silent Street, and then walked in. At the end of the road was where the Dragon Cave was.
A total of six soldiers followed Shire, rushing around with a little vigilant as he walked, for fear that an assassin or a mob would suddenly come out.
However, they were actually a little worried. Although the atmosphere in Junlin City was tense at this time, the turmoil broke out before it could be reached broad daylight. At the same time, few people really remembered Charles' appearance, so it was even more impossible for a sudden attack.
The team stopped near Reness Hill where the Dragon's Cave was located.
Just like the last time he passed by, when he approached this area, a loud voice suddenly came from all directions, and the sound was like the majestic admonition of a kind father, or like the pious prayer of a pastor.
Charles listened with his ears for a moment, then turned his horse's head and looked at the jagged building on the hillside, which looked like a crown, and couldn't help but ponder.
"It seems that it was not a coincidence, but I seemed to have passed by here when I saved Ed. Why didn't I hear the sound at that time?"
"What the hell is this?"
"The local god?"
In a secret confusion, he looked around and did not notice any other situation. After he handed the horses to the two guards for custody, he then took the remaining guards together and climbed up along an ancient staircase in the corner of the hills.
A mysterious place, a mysterious voice, may be dangerous or an opportunity. No matter what, Shire is not timid at this time - sometimes, risks exist at the same time as opportunities, it depends on whether you can seize them.
"Maybe this might have exposed me to something deeper in this world?"
As he kept thinking, the team climbed upwards and finally came to this hill that seemed to be dozens of meters high from the ground.
Looking around, a square that was pushed into marble came into view. Judging from the neat and flat surfaces of some areas and the remaining statues of gods, this square might have been prosperous before.
But now it is abandoned, with garbage everywhere, and the statues are broken and broken. Except for a few corners, the surface of the square is filled with potholes.
The main body of the square is like this, and the innermost building is like a ruin. It is a huge and bizarre building, with a rounded whole, and the jagged dome makes people look like they see a beast grinning at the sky.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the "tooth" of the "fighting beast" is actually incomplete and incomplete.
Is this the dragon's den in the local people's mouth?
Shire looked at the huge building and observed the interior along the open broken door. Apart from some worthless bottles and jars, there were only some broken clothes, human excrement, dim and black haystacks and other messy garbage.
"People often come here?" Some of the internal scenes made Charles frown. He couldn't help but look at Pramer who was following him.
"In order to avoid being slaughtered by the boss, some prostitutes always go to various remote places to pick up private customers. The dragon cave is a good hidden place."
A knight named Pramer explained with a low smile.
"If Sir Kelanston is interested, the prostitutes in Shatayana are much more beautiful than them, including local blonde girls, Liberty City-State training, socialites trained by Bravos, and even black beauties over the Midsummer Islands; Shatayana is one, and her daughter. They use sex as their art and are very open when doing that, right here, and you can't walk for long if you want."
"Thank you for your kindness, Sir Pramer." Charles looked away from the dragon's cave and glanced in other directions.
"But I'm not interested in this kind of thing."
"That's a pity."
He sighed regretfully, and saw Char marching towards the side of the square, he hurriedly followed with his guards.
"What are you looking for?"
"Yes, I've found something, and I've found it." The young man replied.
This made the group of soldiers following behind him quite curious. They looked in the direction he was moving, and a simple square white house came into view.
"What is this?" The strange place, Knight Pramer was slightly alert, and turned to look at a guard from a nearby flea nest beside him.
"I don't know either. Sir, it is said that there is a dragon ghost in the dragon's cave, which is very scary. We basically don't come here normally." The guard replied.
Hearing this, he looked at the white building carefully. Pramer took off the joke he had just now and stopped Charles with a rigorous expression.
"Sir, please make sure to let me go first."
Shire thought for a while, nodded, and did not reject his kindness.
So, led by the iron lump in armor, the group finally came to the door of this white house.
The sound of weapons colliding with the knight's armor during the walk was very loud, so someone came out of the house. It was an elderly monk wearing a white robe and his messy hair was covered in gray.
"Sir, what can I do to serve?"
His turbid old eyes tried hard to open, stared at the strangers, and asked tremblingly.
The leading Knight Pramer didn't know what happened to them, so he turned to look at Charles.
The young man immediately stepped forward and said, "We hope to go in and take a look, please give it a convenience."
"This place is protected by the church, I am rude. I am ruthless. Outsiders are not allowed to enter here."
Although it was not clear about Charles' purpose, it was always right to stand on his own side, so the Knight Pramer grinned at him.
"If you hope that the fat archbishop will protect you, you're a big mistake."
The knight said and patted the sword on his waist, which was self-evident.
So in the end, the old monk could only hide aside.
"Sir, this is the place where the sages have been sleeping for centuries. Please do not damage any objects inside. They have prayed for the future of the seven kingdoms."
"Don't worry, old man, we won't be interested in dead bones...well, ahem, maybe."
Although he was a knight, Pramer was born into a free rider, similar to a mercenary, and had a certain respect for the Seven Gods Church, but he didn't have much, so his tone was quite casual, just as he seemed to remember something at the end, and his expression was a little awkward.
"Is this the tomb of your church?" Charles asked on the side. In order not to leave the main force, he deliberately slowed down.
"Yes, St. Kevin, St. Chel, the flame waiter Tuchu, and the apologist Aleka... are all buried here."
"Why are you buried next to the dragon's cave?"
"Dragon's hole? Hehe, kid, before Targaryen bakes here with dragon flames, this is not a dragon's hole, but a sacred temple."
"The Church?"
"The Church of Thoughts, the most important place in the landslide, besides the Star Church in the old town, belongs to this most faith and pious, until the cruel Meige burned it."
"The Church of St. Belle may be brighter and more prosperous, but the Church of Shrine is the real bishop of the Seven Gods here, and the Church of the Stars is not as good as that of them. They have deviated from the ancient road."
Maybe no one has been here for a long time, and the old monk seemed a little nagging, but the group did not interrupt him, but listened carefully.
"Why not transfer those buried inside to St. Belle's Church?"
"The ancestors died under the dragon flame and would not be willing to be buried in the church built by the descendants of their mortal enemies. This is something they will never allow."
"Your doctrine does not care about forgiveness?"
"Forgiveness? Believe me, my child, that was not the case at the beginning."
...
Speaking like a chatter, the group finally arrived at a hall located underground through the narrow passage.
The surrounding earthen walls are decorated with wooden panels, and the damp smell buried in the hills makes the air here look extremely dull. Roughly speaking, this hall looks very simple, just from the simple tables and chairs, the owner still takes care of it from time to time.
Deep in the hall is a stone statue, with seven sides in one. Looking back along the statue, you can see through the stone door frame without a door, and stone coffins are placed quietly in it.
Charles felt that the sound he heard came from there, although after entering here, the sound disappeared.
So he couldn't wait to walk up.
Seeing this, the old monk hurriedly tried to pull Charle's sleeve. "Child, stop quickly and don't disturb them."
He looked very anxious, but the Knight Pramer stepped forward and stopped him, leaving no matter how the old monk scolded and pushed him.
So he could only watch Charles step into the dead's sleep with a group of guards.
As I walked through the stone gate, I looked around, gray sarcophagus came into my eyes. From the door, it spread to the darkness at the end of this place.
Facing this densely packed burial of dead people, Charles thought for a while, turned to look at the guards behind him, "Open their covers."
"This..." Some guards hesitated about this, but they were stabbed by their companions and nodded quickly.
"Okay sir."
So the three soldiers began to do such "inhumane" blasphemy.
The dull friction sounded one after another, and the lids of sarcophagus were constantly lifted. The old monk's angry cursing voice in the hall behind was clearly heard, but at this time, Charles no longer cared about such trivial matters.
Strolling along the gap between the sarcophagus groups, looking down along the open stone coffins.
One mummy after another wrapped in a robe came into view.
Some of the mummies had a peaceful expression, some had a hideous expression, some had a wide-eyed look, and some had a charred body.
They may have been tall and strong, handsome, ordinary, or beautiful, but the years passed, and their originally plump bodies seemed to have become scary freaks.
[The hideous mummy died for no less than 500 years; he may have suffered a tragic fate during his lifetime]
...
【The mummy who was burned by flames and died for no less than 500 years, and he looked very painful】
...
[The mummy with a peaceful face died for no less than 1,000 years, and he seemed not afraid of death]
...
After a series of glances after another, he did not find anything valuable, which made Charles a little doubt whether he had found the wrong place.
However, in the end, "hard work pays off." When he walked to a coffin in the corner with a shape that was no different from other sarcophagus, he finally discovered something special.
Like many mummies, the mummies wrapped in a withered white robe are also holding their hands in front of their chests, and something is clasped in their palms.
Most of the corpses before were rotten seven-star Bibles or long swords, but now this one is a scepter.
A scepter that is not very conspicuous.
The scepter is made of wood, with a turbid crystal ball on the top, and seven "human"-shaped patterns appear in the crystal ball.
Heavenly Father, Virgin Mary, Warrior, Girl, Blacksmith, Old Woman, Stranger, Regularly distributed, in the form of a seven-pointed star, Seventh-in-one, which is the symbol of the Seven Gods.
Generally speaking, this scepter actually has nothing to care about, but the prompt from the Eye of True Knowledge makes Charles confident about it.
【The sacred scepter full of unknown spirituality and power, its history is very long, it is full of secrets】
【It may have a connection with an existence in this world】
