Chapter 2726 The God of Temperance and the Origin of the Great Lake
When the wet stone tablet landed on the ground, the whispering elements, which were not strong, had already spread in the camp. However, Grace and Helen walked over together and reached out to touch the stone tablet, and the whispering elements were suppressed as if they were sealed.
Go down.
"The relic is a derivative, but it is not a derivative of this lake. This lake is indeed not a relic."
Grace, the sister in the white dress, said softly, while Helen turned to Shade and said:
"Sir, come and take a look. This is an unknown text."
The stone stele itself has been underwater for an unknown amount of time. Although the surface is mottled, most of the words and patterns are still clear. The stele has no base and is inserted into the soil at an angle.
At this time, the side facing away from the bonfire was covered with words. Shade bent down and brushed away the water drops and mud:
"This is the year 1080 of the Fourth Era. The Temperance Seal cannot be recognized here."
Below this sentence is a holy emblem pattern. The holy emblem is not the usual round shape but a shield shape, decorated with thorns. Shade did not recognize this, so Grandma Cassandra and Miss Danister, the most knowledgeable people present,
They all came forward, and after a brief discussion, they came to a conclusion:
"This is the holy emblem of the [God of Ascetics], also known as the 'God of Temperance,' the God of Thorns, and the God of Pain. But please note that this god is an evil god. He still exists today, but
Its followers rarely appear, so the Zhengshen Church does not know much about its organization."
Shade nodded, the evil god is not incapable of doing good deeds, just like those who helped him during the Battle of Moon Bay, so those sealed by the evil god are not necessarily good things.
He continued to translate the text under the Holy Symbol:
“Please do not enter this place without permission. If you enter this place for unknown reasons, please abide by the following rules:
If a human body sinks underwater, please record the individual characteristics and exit the area in time. Do not touch the lake or attempt rescue;
If there is a human body floating on the water, reality has left you, and it is an endless dream at this moment. Please maintain a clear understanding and wait for rescue. May God bless you;
If there is a human body standing on the water, please turn around and leave immediately regardless of the cost. Do not communicate, do not look at each other, do not perceive, and do not remember."
This is the entire content of this side of the stele. The decorative patterns on the periphery are not text and therefore do not need to be translated.
"What is sealed here? If I understand correctly, is it sealed here by the gods?"
Iluna asked softly, and the Hongdie sisters said with certainty:
"No matter what was sealed before, it is definitely gone now. The lake is 'empty', and if the seal still exists, this stone tablet should be warning people by the lake, not in the lake."
"The Fourth Age, the era of darkness and chaos. It was too far away from now. What's behind it?"
The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl asked, and Shade lifted the stone tablet and turned it over. But there was no writing on the back, or nothing at all. It was a fairly smooth stone surface.
Shade frowned slightly, and Granny Cassandra reminded her:
"Antiquities unearthed in the Fourth Era sometimes require blood to solve puzzles. In that dark and chaotic era, intelligent beings were united by ethnic groups and believed that only common blood was real. People at that time
Pay close attention to this."
Miss Swift behind her directly cut her palm and pressed the bloody handprint on the stone tablet. Then the smooth stone surface shone slightly, and a moment later a vivid and exquisite mermaid pattern was etched on the smooth stone tablet.
surface.
The mermaid is tied up with several chains, and her depiction is extremely detailed, and her beautiful face can even be said to be a bit coquettish.
"So, is the seal here still related to the mermaid race? Or, the one who is sealed is a mermaid."
Miss Danister, who was unaware of the situation, guessed, but found that most people were looking at Shade. Shade took a deep breath and watched the light and shadow dancing on the tilted stone monument.
For a moment, he clearly saw the mermaid bound by chains on the stone tablet winking at him.
Wow~
Another sound of tail slapping came from the lake, causing the cat to bark menacingly again. Luvia put her hand on Shade's shoulder, and Shade stood up from the stone monument:
"Everyone stays in the camp and I go to the lake by myself."
"Is that that thing?"
Iluna asked a little unhappy, she hated that guy who said she was innocent.
"Maybe, but this time she went a little too far."
He picked up the cat and handed it to Tifa. The maid looked worried:
"Do you really want to go alone?"
"I'll follow Shade. I'll take the [Night Watch]. Emilia, don't speak. Even if you bring the [Ocarina of Time], it won't be enough."
Iluna said, and the blond elf girl nodded. Shade then looked around and looked at the people who were watching them:
"Including Grace and Helen, you are all waiting for us in the camp. After Iluna and I left the camp, we immediately sealed the camp from the inside. Unless little Mia recognized me and came back, no one could be allowed in or out under any circumstances.
."
Shade's expression was serious when he said this, so the Hongdie twins who originally wanted to go with them had no choice but to nod in agreement.
But before Shade left the camp with Iluna, he took off the black key hanging on his chest and turned it into the [Staff of Yggdrasil]. Shade handed the long staff to Lu.
Via:
"I don't know what happened this time, so help me get this."
The girl with purple eyes was confused and took the long staff. She didn't understand what it meant. But looking at Shade's expression, she didn't ask any more questions:
"Wait a minute, I'll do the divination again, and you can start again. There are still three coins left."
"If something unexpected happens, use coins."
Shade nodded to her, then held hands with Iluna and walked out of the camp fence gate.
"Meow~"
The cat meowed and jumped out of Tifa's arms, but instead of following Shade, it jumped onto Luvia's shoulders and squatted down. This was extremely rare.
The purple-eyed fortune teller also subconsciously reached out and touched it, and then he was surprised to find that he felt familiar with this action. But you must know that little Mia rarely gets so close to her.
The night was already very dark, and then everyone cast spells to completely seal the camp. Shade could not even easily sense whether the camp still existed without turning around. The firelight from the camp also disappeared, leaving only moonlight, starlight and the outer edge of the lake shore.
The upright silver torch is still providing light.
The two of them came to the lake together. As Shade threw the perfume bottle into the lake, the calm lake surface that was originally exuding starlight suddenly became rippled.
In the sound of water, the perfume bottle floated for a distance into the lake and then sank directly into the water. Then a huge shadow flashed under the water again, followed by a crash, and the beautiful woman's head came close to the shore.
The location popped up.
In an instant, all the silver flames on the surrounding torches were suppressed to the center of the flames, while the starlight in the night sky projected the colors of the starry sky onto her head like a spotlight.
The starlight illuminated her wet cheek, and the light reflected from her black hair made her black hair look extra textured and more gorgeous.
Iluna did not speak, but just clicked her tongue to express her dissatisfaction. She and Shade both felt strange emotions and thoughts when the other party appeared, but Iluna, who already instinctively disliked this "mermaid",
She will never change her attitude just because of her appearance.
"What do you mean this time?"
Shade asked, and the woman's head looking up at the two people on the lake shore asked with a smile:
"How rude. I thought you would greet me first and then report on the progress of debt collection."
The voice was lazy and hoarse, as if he had just woken up from a beautiful dream:
"I know what you want to ask. Yes, in the fourth era, some very capable and rough guys summoned the gods and sealed me in this lake. Speaking of which, that was a long time ago.
It happened, I got out of trouble later, but probably because I stayed here for a long time, this lake has my power."
"Why do I feel that you hate this place, so you put the most vicious curse on this lake before leaving? Otherwise, the lake did not become a relic. Why did the stone tablets in the lake become relic derivatives instead? Isn't this the case?
Proof of your power manifesting?”
Iluna asked, and the woman's purple eyes looked at her. Iluna stared at her with her own heterochromatic pupils without fear. The woman's head in the lake, illuminated by the stars, laughed.
This made Iluna feel even more slighted.
"What does it matter whether it is yes or no? But interesting soul, I didn't lure you and the witch here. It was you who broke into the lake of love yourself. I like this name. Who hates love? Who would?
What about hating happiness?”
There was a splashing sound in the water, as if the feet in the lake were gently swaying. The lake water reflecting the sea of stars was obviously translucent, but neither Shade nor Iluna could see clearly what was under the head.
What, this is quite scary.
"Although we followed Linda Bennet here, didn't you bring Linda Bennet here? Otherwise, I can't think of a reason for her to come to a place like this."
"Of course I didn't cause it."
The woman immediately denied it. She did not pretend to be aggrieved, but looked up at Shade with a smile:
"If you investigate carefully, you will find that Miss Linda Bennet has known the secret of this lake a long time ago. The bold girl took the water from the lake and fed it to the dead disciple York Bo
Lunt, wanted to win his eternal love, and she has really succeeded.
It's interesting, isn't it? The opponent you regard as a powerful enemy, the immortal who actually escaped death to a certain extent, can actually be successfully raped by an ordinary girl."
