"You stay here." Professor David said to the clone revealed by the mask in a commanding tone: "Attract the attention of the night watchmen and the scales of order outside, and do not leave this museum at any time."
A faint smile appeared on that gentle and elegant face, he nodded slightly, and replied in exactly the same voice: "As you wish, my master."
Its attitude is very humble, its posture is even more submissive, and there is no trace of any rebellious thoughts at all. No wonder the first - or maybe I don't know which of its owners - Lava was deceived by it and was unaware of it in his sleep. The earth became the flesh and blood in its mouth.
This is the biggest side effect of this holy relic: it always has a greedy desire for the objects it imitates, and tries every means to devour them before looking for the next target.
According to the guess of the high priest who sealed the mask, this may be because it desires to become a human being. The imitation of the mask can only create an identical clone, but it does not have the memory of the original body. Therefore, it wants to devour those memories and make it He can replace the original body and truly live in this world. However, in the final analysis, it is just a holy relic and cannot become a real life. Therefore, when the magic power injected into it gradually dissipates, it will return to its original appearance. .
In order to maintain its human form, it could only continue to devour the flesh, blood and memories of others, thus creating a series of sensational disappearances within the Cangtian Order at that time. It may be considered the most evil type of all holy relics.< /p>
Another disadvantage is that the clone created by the mask has no fighting power. Once killed, the mask will be destroyed. Therefore, the owner of the holy relic must use its power carefully and not use it as a weapon. It is used as an auxiliary in combat, but it plays a role in more special occasions, such as the current occasion.
Professor David glanced at his clone coldly, although he felt a little regretful in his heart for exposing such a powerful holy relic to the eyes of the United Order. Once they found out, the final result would be either elimination or containment. The power of Lava's human skin mask will also be completely lost. But in order to gain more powerful power, this is a necessary sacrifice.
"Remember," he repeated at the end: "Don't make any unnecessary moves, just pretend to be me."
Then he left his avatar in the exhibition hall, took the Kreisov Brass Scroll with him, and walked towards the great chapel at the deepest part of the Luberon Museum. Here was once enshrined the statue of Tifo the Fountain, the monk of the Holy Fountain and the Fountain. The place where believers held sacrificial activities and worshiped and prayed. In its most glorious period, the 12,000 seats were packed. Now, all of them have been demolished and the statues of gods have been transported away. Only the wooden altar in the altar area is left, showing the ancient history - —Of course, this altar is now one of the exhibits of the Lubeon Museum.
However, few people know that there is a secret tunnel hidden under the altar, leading to the suburbs of Nimschel.
When the city government decided to renovate the Lingquan Sanctuary-Tiffith Church into a museum, Professor David's father Schmidt David took the initiative to bear all the human and material consumption of the renovation project. Insider
Everyone thought that he was trying to preserve the inheritance of the Holy Land for the Holy Spring Monks, but in fact he took this opportunity to quietly dig out this secret passage under the Lingquan Sanctuary as a way out in the future. p>
For the long-cherished wish passed down from generation to generation, the David family has worked hard, and today it’s time to reap the rewards.
After activating the mechanism under the altar, the heavy stone floor made a rumbling sound and slowly moved to the side, revealing the deep and dark passage underneath. Professor David entered the passage without hesitation, activated the mechanism to restore the altar, and then took out
The kerosene lamp hanging on the wall of the lower passage used the faint firelight to walk forward, stepping on the stone bricks, sending out a spacious echo inside the passage.
Half an hour later, in a long-abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the city, Professor David, who had changed his clothes, appeared in the dark night. He looked back in the direction of the Luberon Museum. The cold winter night was bone-chilling, and the streets and houses
The corners were covered with condensation of frost and snow, but the sky was already dark and the dawn was faintly visible.
Soon, when the light of dawn turns into a brilliant sharp blade and passes over the spire of the oldest palace in the city, all the peace will be broken. The inevitable whirlpool will involve everyone in it.
Facing the mighty power of God, weak souls are ups and downs. Perhaps only the constructed mecha united by the religious orders can compete with it.
The two magnificent wills fought against each other, causing countless casualties to the ants and dust caught between them. As a wise man, Professor David's choice was to stay away and take this opportunity to complete himself - to complete all the tasks burdened by "David"
"The long-cherished wish of the person named.
Rochelle, you want to use me to attract the attention of the sect alliance and ensure that the god-seeking ceremony can be held smoothly, but am I not using you?
After all, I said it a long time ago.
Everyone has their own wishes.
He withdrew his gaze, turned around and disappeared at the end of the obscure and sleepy alley, and the direction he left happened to be the direction leading to the city of Avion.
An ancient legend is about to unveil its mystery here.
……
On January 6, 1856, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Ringer got up, ate something briefly, and brought breakfast back to Olvera, who had been copying all night last night, in exchange for a thank you from the latter. At 8:15, the young man left the room. When Olvera asked him where he was going, the young man did not explain in detail, but just dropped a familiar sentence: to confirm some things.
At 8:30, Saint Xalia got up and came to Linge's room, but saw no one. Olvera conveyed to her what Linge said before leaving. After listening, the shepherd girl looked thoughtful.
Her expression seemed to be able to understand what he was doing. This made Olvera a little sad: Is it because I am not smart enough that I can’t hear the implication of Ringer’s words?
At 8:50, the lamb ran around the room, hit the wall, and screamed in pain.
At 9 o'clock, Metien also got up. After hearing the movement in Linge's room, he curiously opened the door to check, and then learned the news of his departure from the two young girls, Queen Quan. By the way, Ovela
I stuffed three medicine books that I just copied.
At 9:15, the sun gradually brightened, and the princess of Beman was in high spirits. She was about to keep up her efforts, but Metien asked her in a low voice not to continue copying the potion book, because the part she had copied so far was enough for her to read for a long time, and to buy it.
The paper was about to run out, and she had little pocket money left. The princess who lost her goal suddenly fell into a state of doing nothing. After staying for a few minutes, she started reading.
At 9:20, the little sheep ran around the room and bumped into the cabinet. He screamed in pain and woke up Xie Mi.
At 9:40, Xie Mi woke up from the daze of getting up and asked for some sour and sweet jam. Metien used his little pocket money to satisfy his friend's request.
At 9:45, Xiaoyang stole the remaining jam while Xie Mi was not paying attention, and was caught on the spot. The friendship between the two (?) was temporarily broken.
At 10 o'clock, we spent a peaceful and peaceful time waiting for Ringer to return and waiting for Alice to get up.
At 10:30, Ovela finished reading a travelogue written by someone who didn’t know who, and commented that it was extremely boring and made people want to sleep; Metien was learning about potions; Xemie and the lamb were chasing each other in the room.
, Saint Xalia is responsible for taking care of them, reminding them not to play too much, so as not to disturb other guests in the hotel; waiting for Ringer to return, and waiting for Alice to get up.
At 11 o'clock, Ringer came back. He didn't mention a word about his mysterious disappearance in the early morning, and no one asked about it. He waited for lunch and waited for Alice to get up.
At 11:20, Ovela quietly asked Ringer how he wanted to make money, but she did not get an answer. She only got a surprised look from the young man, who was suddenly angry and distressed; under the gentle comfort and persuasion of Saint Xalia
Next, Xiaoyang and Xiemi decided to shake hands and make peace and get back together; Medien, who was studying, was stumped by a question, thinking hard, and his little head was filled with great confusion; while waiting for Alice to get up. p>
At 11:40, the unbearable Merdine tried to pull Alice out of the quilt, but failed. Alice was suspected of merging with the quilt and turning into a new type of monster that was difficult for ordinary people to deal with. p>
At 12 o'clock, have lunch and wait for Alice to get up.
At 12:10, Alice got up boldly like a hibernating bear regaining its majesty, said "good morning" to everyone with full energy, and expressed strong dissatisfaction after learning that her friends had finished lunch, saying
"I was betrayed".
At 12:15, Alice, who wanted to play the game first, was forced to have lunch by the expressionless Ringer. Because she looked pitiful and crying, other guests in the hotel suspected that she was a sinister employer who was bullying the innocent maid.<
/p>
At 12:20, the rumor collapsed due to force majeure.
At 12:30, Alice finished her lunch slowly, and the group could finally leave the hotel and head to the Ronin Rift Valley outside Avion City.
After spending a morning of ordinary life, the incident gradually slipped into the extraordinary abyss.
