"Who knows what the things here are, but even that guy's handwriting appears."
Looking at Cyril with a serious look on her face, Karl immediately asked:
"Celile, what problem do you see?"
"This is a pillar of salt."
Looking at Karl with a somewhat surprised expression, Cyril continued:
"If I remember correctly, this thing is also recorded in the Bible. You shouldn't know about it, Karl, right?"
"!"
Upon hearing Seryl's inquiry, Karl instantly understood what was going on.
There is this passage in Genesis Chapter 19, verses 24, 25, and 26:
Then the LORD rained down on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven,
He destroyed those cities and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, including everything that grew on the ground.
Lot's wife looked back and saw that she had turned into a pillar of salt.
This chapter is roughly about God going to destroy a city called Sodom, and then Lot and his wife in this city were rescued by angels, and then escaped from the city destroyed by God.
But in the process of escaping, Lot's wife did not listen to the angel's advice and looked back at the destroyed city of Sodom.
Then on the seashore of Azdoma, Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt and stood there.
As an Englishman, Karl's current body is familiar with the rumors about the Bible. It's just that Karl came from time travel and his unified memory is not very accurate, so he didn't think of this.
Now with Seliel's prompt, he naturally thought of this famous story.
Looking at Cyril with a serious look on her face, Karl said:
"In this case, does it mean that this black dragon is related to the Bible?"
Although there is no clear record of a black dragon turning into a pillar of salt, there are also many stories of saints slaying dragons in the Bible.
What might be the connection between the two?
"Karl, don't dwell on this issue anymore, let's continue walking back."
While Karl was thinking about this problem, Cyril had given up on continuing to study.
"When this guy dies, he is completely dead. It's a pity that it turned into a pillar of salt, so I can't detect its memory."
"All right......"
Seeing Cyril give a verdict on this guy's condition, Karl also knew that this thing was completely worthless. We couldn't let them use this huge amount of salt for cooking, right?
The corpse of a black dragon was turned into a worthless pillar of salt. It would be a huge loss to tell this story.
After walking out of the mist, Carl saw that Green was also walking cautiously inside, but he was not as careless as Cyril, so he came later.
"Mr. Carl?"
Seeing the two of them walking out of the mist, Green immediately came to greet them.
"What's going on inside?"
"Could it be that this evil dragon..."
"It's okay." Seeing Green's nervous look, Karl immediately reached out and patted his shoulder, causing the guy to relax and pick up his heart again.
"The guy was already dead, but there were some changes on the body, so we did a little research."
"Let's just keep going."
"Oh...is that so..."
Seeing Karl's attitude, Green nodded and followed.
Now, through the feat of slaying a dragon alone, Karl already belongs to a completely unimaginable type of strong man in his mind, and he can just listen to what others say.
This is an evil dragon!
Look at what Mr. Karl looks like now. He finished slaying the dragon without even getting his clothes dirty. What kind of strong man is he?
Next, because the lava on the ground had cooled, their progress was very smooth.
According to Cyril's perception, it didn't take a few seconds for a few people to find a pile of gold coins on a high platform in the cave.
Listening to Cyril's command, Karl swept the gold coins aside, revealing a trap door below that was not too big or too small and could almost accommodate four people.
"Is this right here?"
Looking at the passage hidden here, Karl couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
The current situation is that the further you go down, the more obvious artificial traces you can see.
The uppermost part of the Black Forest is still a completely natural cave, but here, even trap doors made by humans have appeared.
He would not believe that the black dragon he had killed before would have the time to carefully use his claws to dig out a hole in the ground.
And looking at the current channels, new problems have also emerged.
How did this black dragon appear here?
Neither the tunnel behind the trap door nor the tunnel they passed through when coming down could accommodate the terrifying size of this black dragon. How did it get in?
There is only one explanation, and that is that someone took the black dragon when it was young, even a dragon egg, and then cultivated it until today.
But in this case, the history of this place may be longer than imagined.
Regardless of the legend, dragons are terrifying creatures with extremely long lifespans, so it also takes a long time to grow from childhood to adult size. When did the enemy's plan begin?
Referring to the age comparison, this giant dragon appeared here even before the recovery of the ether. How did this legendary creature survive in an environment where there was no ether at all in the past?
Subconsciously, Carl looked at Ceryl next to him, and as a result, Carl saw Ceryl with the same frown on his face.
Sure enough, this guy also thought of this.
The possibility of the Ragnarok ritual has been ruled out, and now a new possibility has emerged.
Has their enemy been hiding in an underground cave and maintaining the ether concentration here by constantly killing gods to achieve the other party's unknown true purpose?
Even this magic circle is specially designed to cultivate special beings like Karl.
As long as the grown-up person is discovered by the resurrected god, then the other party has a high probability of discovering the secret of the magic circle.
Later, driven by curiosity and interests, God will definitely find this place.
Wouldn’t this bring a steady stream of God Himself to your door?
Based on the information currently available, this should be the most likely scenario that Karl and the others think is possible.
But if this conclusion is applied, then the only doubt remains, and that is Green beside them.
As a magic circle that induces gods to go underground, why would it take the initiative to recognize this man who has no clues as its owner, and even give up its role in luring others here?
Thinking of this, Carl and Selyl unanimously turned their attention to Green.
"well?"
Upon discovering Karl's actions, Green immediately made a confused sound.
