Holding the "Sword of Silence" tightly in both hands, Derrick followed behind the elder Lovia who had a terrifying aura, and was wary of the various evil and incomprehensible paintings on the surrounding walls.
Before setting off this time, the chief specially broke up the original team and changed it into a group of three people. Only one of the three people needed to keep the light on at all times, and the other two moved forward with the lighting person as the center.
Of course, there are always various accidents in the dark, so other people in the team must also carry fire with them so that they can quickly glow to protect themselves when the lighting fails or disappears.
Unfortunately, Derrick was taken out of the original group and placed in the group headed by Elder Lovia. The other teammate accompanying him was a rather unfamiliar old man. As for the leader,
One person in a group.
He looked at the tall figure in front of him who was holding a lantern in his left hand and a straight sword hanging in his right hand. For a moment, the anxiety in his heart was dispelled, and he immediately became alert to his surroundings.
In the darkness, a pair of purple eyes quietly moved away from Derrick, admiring the murals on both sides, distractedly interpreting the secrets hidden under the pictures depicting various disaster scenes.
Lovia, who had a bright and elegant appearance, gently lifted her hair from her ears and walked forward slowly.
This is the interior of the Temple of the True Creator. Although it has been abandoned, the statue in the deepest part still retains some functions and can attract the attention of this god.
Four days have passed since she reported the secret here to the chief and organized the team.
In addition to the necessary preparations, in order to guard against the three-headed dragon Roholid, they could go in another direction and cross the entire plain without shelter before arriving at this city-state.
"Stop."
The deep voice of Chief Colin Yinliat came from the front. The old man following Lovia stopped, and the swaying torch swayed with red light.
In the sudden emptiness, a naked man with one black eye hung on an upside-down cross. Her face was moldy, and the appearance of the statue also showed traces of time, and the spirituality that once existed on it was still missing.
Colin examined this mysterious sculpture that he had never seen before. From top to bottom, his eyes touched the darkness that had been devoutly carved by the craftsmen again and again, and the depth in his eyes became more and more solemn.
Just like what Lovia said, the bottom of this statue has the symbol of the "Hanged Man" path, and the cross was also a symbol of the Lord... Although in the records, there is a "Hanged Man" path
The only god with authority is the Lord. Even the "god of mystery" can only replicate one or two things by relying on the power of the "door" path. But why is the cross here hanging upside down...
Colin listened to the anxious heartbeat that only he could hear. His big hand filled with vicissitudes of life took out a bottle of potion from the pocket of his clothes. After drinking it, two dark green mysterious symbols quickly appeared in his eyes.
The "Demon Hunter" itself has a certain ability to identify, and when combined with the corresponding potion, this ability will be strengthened to track and restore evil spirits and traces, and is the natural enemy of evil auras.
"Eyes." The dreamy purple eyes closed gently, and Lovia suddenly reminded her. The old man holding a torch at the side was so shocked that he subconsciously bulged up his muscles and stared at her feet. Derrick, who was holding two swords, also became nervous.
Different from the chief and his unknown companions, he had seen the statues and symbols of the true Creator in a Tarot meeting, knew about this relationship with the "God of Mystery", and also knew that this evil god seemed to have a relationship with the former Creator.
Certain relationship.
But Mr. Fool seems to have been avoiding the birth of the true Creator and her specific relationship with Him. Moreover, although this believer of God also believes in Mr. Fool, he seems to be regarded as a cult by the outside world.
This can be seen from the first time Miss Justice, Magician, and Judgment heard the name Aurora Society.
Derrick swallowed silently and lowered his body, staring at the chief who slowly lowered his gaze after a period of silence. He recalled the teachings of Mr. "The Hanged Man" and was ready to pray to Mr. "The Fool" at any time.
The dark green symbols in Colin's eyes slowly moved down, and finally stopped at the single eye of the statue of the true Creator, whose facial features did not resemble the lake. Looking at the faded scarlet, waves of illusory murmurs instantly echoed in his mind.
Thousands of different voices overlapped together, including old people, young people, men and women. They roared, wailed, praised and cried in different ways, but they were repeating the same content.
"The betrayer caused the cataclysm...tear...she slumbers..."
There was no useful content in the intermittent words. Colin's messy silver eyebrows frowned slightly, he stepped back and looked away.
The betrayer caused the cataclysm...Who is the betrayer?
The body as tall as a mountain staggered back. Suddenly, Colin saw the dim mural hidden behind the dark statue.
The pure white sun disc stained black by blood, the tentacled storm clouds, the dirty brass eyeball... and the brightly colored stars in the starry sky!
The description missing from the record quickly appeared in Colin's mind, and the usually steady chief was stunned.
After a moment, he sighed slowly, turned around, and looked at the panicked old man, Lovia with a cold temperament, and Derrick with a complex expression, but worry and nervousness were written in his eyes.
Sighed:
"The remaining spirituality of this statue retains some of the babble produced when the city was destroyed."
"This city should have been destroyed by an out-of-control situation in the end, and all the townspeople were infected."
"So the human limbs disguised as fruits outside are all original townspeople?" The old man holding the lantern was briefly frightened and then quickly regained his composure.
"Those stumps should have been disposed of by Roholid, otherwise it would be almost impossible to see through their disguise." Lovia considered it for a few seconds and added.
"The 'Three Heads Cathedral' requires a large amount of flesh and blood to maintain itself. Those flesh and blood containing weak pollution are acceptable supplements for him."
Derrick, holding the sword in his hand, nodded approvingly.
Sometimes the beasts in the dark also contain strong pollution. Among the babies born in Silver City this year, several were born with deformities because their mothers mistakenly consumed less polluted meat during pregnancy.
Listening to everyone's conversation, Colin's old eyes were rarely cloudy. He stared at the flame in his hand, and a little light ignited from the bottom of his eyes.
"Destroy the outside of the temple, leaving only the area where the statues of gods exist. All participants must be quarantined after returning."
In the darkness, feeling the breeze brought by the old man and Derrick following the orders, Lovia looked at the dark hanging figure and slowly prostrated on the ground, just like she usually did when praying.
Colin, who had moved to the side of the statue, witnessed all this and remained silent.
