Come to the main church again and cross the road full of corpses.
Franka and Razer, who had experienced many big scenes, couldn't help but twitch the corners of their eyes when they saw such a tragic scene for the first time.
With the two of them supporting Agata, who had her eyes closed, everyone finally arrived at the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion.
Nate looked around and said:
"Generally speaking, religious places in Ursus will have a Scripture Pavilion - especially old churches. And since this monastery was built on the basis of inheriting part of the original building, of course there should be a Scripture Pavilion."
Hank wondered: "Is there anything important in the Scripture Pavilion?"
Jessica's voice came from the side:
"Is it... a secret room?"
She had not yet recovered from the bloody scene in the church, and said with difficulty:
"I remember it was mentioned in some documents that because churches and other places are regarded as symbols of holy places, many nobles will arrange secret rooms in churches for..."
"Used to hide during the war." Nate nodded in agreement with Jessica's guess and continued to explain:
"Disputes and struggles cannot occur in the Holy Land. Therefore, for small nobles without military strength, and even some big nobles, the church is their refuge."
"However, the suspicious nobles did not believe that their enemies would really stick to their faith, so they built secret rooms in the church as a second layer of insurance."
Player suddenly realized: "——The collection of items and the inaccessible Sutra Pavilion is the best choice for building a secret room."
Nate nodded:
"This so-called 'tradition' not only appeared in the ancient empire, but also had similar habits in other places.
"For a monastery of this size, the actual area of the Sutra Pavilion is obviously a bit smaller than the visual effect from the outside - the missing space is naturally the secret room."
"And if you really want to hide these things in the old church, the secret room is obviously safer."
Before he could give the order, Ai Luo and Jerry, the only two pioneers in the team, had already started searching, hoping to find some clues.
"Miss Agata, may I ask... the noble who supports the monastery, will he come here?"
"...Yes." Agata recalled:
"The Earl sometimes brings some acquaintances over, right over the table, and they might be discussing some issues... We don't dare to ask any more questions."
After hearing what Agata said, the pioneers quickly came to the long table surrounded by tall bookshelves and began a detailed search.
Finally, Jerry found the mechanism under a liftable floorboard under the chair.
There was a slight sound, but no obvious changes were seen in the room.
Jerry's eyes widened: "How could this happen..."
"...There are other mechanisms." Nate said.
Ai Ruo used gestures to ask his friends to get out of the way, and lying on the ground, he found a subtle mark extending from the chair.
"—There's something unnatural about the wear on the floor."
With that said, he followed the trajectory to a bookshelf. Aier tried to use the staff to explore and moved his ears:
"empty."
——Bingo.
Ai Ruo nodded and took a deep breath - he moved the fingers of his right hand rhythmically, slapped it directly on a book, and pumped hard -
The bookcase against the wall quietly retreats into the concealed space and slides open laterally, revealing the spiral bench inside.
Looking at Agata who looked in disbelief, Iron Arm persuaded:
"Sister, I suggest you wait for us to come back up there - after all, the situation inside is really unpredictable, so..."
"...No. Please let me go in with you."
The nun said decisively:
"I have witnessed the slaughter before the eyes of the gods tonight - it seems that the noble who supports him is not a good person, and I..."
"I need to witness his truth with my own eyes for the sake of my sisters."
PS: Thank you for your concern. The exam ended in third place. I applaud myself (helpless)
I won't complain about the next two chapters... I hope you can have a better reading experience.
