The attitude of the tomb guards was more polite than last time - even almost respectful.
Fanna could clearly feel the change in the surrounding atmosphere and the doubtful glances cast by her colleagues. However, she did not know how to explain this strange change - even if some vague speculations could emerge in her heart, she could not help it.
speak out.
She could only lower her head and look at the parchment handed over by the guarding giant. After hesitating for two seconds, she reached out to take it and took a gentle breath.
"I'll come back as soon as I go." She turned around and said quickly to Bishop Valentine, then followed the giant guarding the tomb and walked towards the pale building not far away.
The heavy stone door slowly closed behind him, and the ancient and mysterious tomb was sealed again. The giant guarding the tomb did not disappear, but followed Fanna like a qualified guide, leading the latter towards the deep tomb chamber.
, in the deep and long corridor, the monotonous footsteps made the surroundings become even more silent.
Fanna silently recited the various taboos that needed to be paid attention to after entering Vision 004, and at the same time carefully paid attention to the actions of the tomb guard. She recalled the guard's performance before she entered the tomb last time, and the thoughts in her mind couldn't stop surging.
.
Due to the restrictions of Vision 004, she could no longer remember what happened after she last entered the tomb, but she still remembered that the guard's attitude had undergone subtle changes before she entered the tomb last time - at that time
She hadn't thought too much about it yet, but this time, various associations spread uncontrollably in her mind.
And just as Vanna's thoughts were rising and falling, a low and hoarse voice suddenly reached her ears - the giant guard actually broke the silence.
"What do you want to ask?"
Vanna was shocked - this silent and terrifying guard was actually actively talking to the "listener" who entered the tomb?!
She quickly filtered the information about Vision 004 in her mind, and confirmed how to deal with the current situation among various taboos. Then she tried to calm down, and then said while considering the words: "You are very friendly to me.
,Why?"
"Because you are an envoy," the tomb guard actually replied immediately, "an envoy is a person who transcends transformation and should be treated with courtesy."
"Messenger?" Fanna was stunned, as if she didn't understand, "What does this sentence mean? Does it mean that I am a saint of the storm goddess Gemona? But everyone in the square outside is..."
"Queen Leviathan has no messengers. Her messengers all died before the first long night," the tomb guard interrupted Vanna. There was almost no emotion in his voice, even when he talked about gods.
Jing Wuwei said, "You are the messenger of the Fire Usurper."
Her heart suddenly tightened, her head roared, and her breathing paused subconsciously - Fanna stopped in shock. The answer she got after a casual question was far beyond her imagination. She felt as if a storm had swept across her body.
The mind, and where the storm passes, what emerges in the consciousness is the stormy waves arising from the overlapping of conjecture, understanding, and cognition!
Queen Leviathan, she remembered this title - not long ago, Captain Duncan mentioned this name in front of her and Maurice!
The long night - she also remembered this term. After reading the "Book of Blasphemy", Mr. Morris mentioned that the "long night" was used several times to describe the attempts of the "kings" in ancient times to create the world.
She still remembered that there were three times of the Long Night in those heretical descriptions, and three times in Genesis!
As for the fire usurper...
"The Fire Usurper...are you referring to Captain Duncan?" Vanna's heart moved and she spoke subconsciously.
Inside Vision 004, you cannot talk about the owner of the mausoleum and the secrets inside the mausoleum casually, but the taboo does not mention whether you can talk about the outside world - Fanna mustered up the courage at this moment and asked the mausoleum guard in front of her, and somehow
Another intuition reminded her that there would be no danger even if she asked the guard in front of her more questions.
However, the guard did not answer immediately this time. After being silent for several seconds, he slowly turned his head and looked into Vanna's eyes.
"After you leave, you will still forget the secrets you know here. There is no point in asking too much."
Fanna was startled, and the burning curiosity in her heart seemed to have been poured cold water on her.
Yes, most of the information in Vision 004 cannot be taken outside. No matter how much you know here, you will still forget it after you get out.
Even if it is written on parchment, things that should not be revealed will still be torn off when the time comes.
She did not dare to ask the guard what the "forgetting mechanism" of Vision 004 was, because it was already a question directed at the tomb itself, and something would happen if she asked.
She could only sigh, take steps forward with regret, and continue walking towards the deepest tomb.
But at this moment, she heard the guard's voice reaching her ears again——
"The fire usurper's name is not Duncan."
Fanna's eyes widened slightly. She ignored her curiosity as to why the tomb guard was suddenly willing to answer her question. Instead, she subconsciously said, "What about Queen Leviathan? Listen to what you mean, that's a storm..."
The tomb guard suddenly stopped and interrupted Fanna's question with a deep voice: "We are here."
Fanna raised her head and found that the deep and long corridor had reached the end at some point. The door leading to the central tomb stood abruptly in front of her eyes. The pale fire light swayed in the tomb, as if urging her to hurry in.
The next second, she realized: she could no longer ask questions.
Even with the blessing of the strange and inexplicable identity of "messenger", the "courtesy" that the tomb guard can give him is limited - or in other words, the questions that the guard himself can answer are also limited.
I just don't know if this "restriction" is the limited number of questions or the limited scope of answering questions - unfortunately, after I leave Vision 004, all my memories will be cleared, and I probably won't have the chance to verify it through repeated tests in the future.
This is the problem.
A few messy thoughts flashed through Fanna's mind, and finally she breathed out softly and thanked the guard in a low voice: "Thank you for your patience."
"Please come in, and I will see you out later - although you won't remember it."
Fanna nodded and stepped into the tomb. As she stepped through the door of the tomb, the guard, who was wrapped in bandages and who was between life and death, disappeared silently into the corridor.
On the simple and solemn throne, the headless and nameless king sat silently as he had been since eternity. The pale brazier burned peacefully in the corner of the tomb, and the air was filled with the atmosphere of silence and solemnity.
Vanna came to the throne and saw a comfortable-looking armchair placed in the position reserved for the "listener", and there was a table in front of the chair.
There was a fruit plate, snacks, and even a steaming cup of black tea on the table.
Fanna: "..."
She controlled the changes in her expression and tried to sit calmly on the chair.
Although the listener cannot take the memories inside the tomb outside, she is sure that people who enter this tomb under normal circumstances will never receive this treatment!
Because those messages that occasionally came out with the parchment described the process of "listening", and none of them mentioned fruit plates and snacks!
However, after a brief period of confusion and desire to complain, Fanna quickly calmed down and her eyes became serious.
She looked around.
There were only pale and cold stones inside Vision 004. Theoretically, there was no place to store food, and there was no possibility of facilities such as a kitchen. The tomb guard might know how to make tea, but she really couldn't imagine the giant's emotions when baking pastries.
Scenes.
She looked at the things on the table.
The fruits are fresh, the tea is steaming, and the plate on which the snacks are placed is an exquisite silver-inlaid wooden plate, with patterns... vaguely bearing the style of a southern city-state, much like the specialties of elven city-states like Qingfeng Port or Nangang.
Fanna picked up a biscuit and felt the remaining heat.
Perhaps an hour ago, this thing was sitting in the oven of a snack shop in a certain city-state.
So...are these things "brought" directly by the tomb guard from a certain southern city-state? Can he directly enter the real world as a physical entity? Or...there are secret admirers in the real world, and they accept the orders of the tomb guard and worship aliens.
Like 004 performing a "sacrifice"?
The fruits and the plates holding snacks look like specialties from the south. That is the territory of the elves. The elves... This mysterious and long-lived race does retain many unique beliefs and habits, some of which are completely different from today's Four Gods Church.
, even its own system...
Are there any explanations for Vision 004 in the ancient books of the elves?
Fanna's mind was filled with thoughts, and her professional habits made her start to inquire more about the "unusual" thing she saw in front of her.
But her thinking didn't last long.
A slight friction sound suddenly sounded in the tomb, interrupting Vanna's thoughts.
She followed the sound and saw the headless king slowly raising his arms, as if he was about to stand up from the throne——
Vanna opened her eyes.
The simple and solemn pillars of the assembly hall came into view, and the chaotic and dark light passed over the square. The soul projections of the saints were gathering from a distance, and in the corner of the eye, the pale mysterious building was accompanied by bursts of light.
