Marvel Book of Magical Events
Chapter 1216 The Glorious Road (First Update)
Interpreting lost dead languages and murals is not a job that can be hastened. Lara Croft shared a clue with another archaeologist, Dr. Domiguez, on her laptop. At first, the Holy Trinity team had found an artifact called the Chakchel Key hidden in a ruins in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. It was also at that time that Lara Croft knew that what she had in mind Dr. Domiguez, the pioneer of Central Mayan research and the subject of long-term discussion, is actually the leader of Holy Trinity's operation.
Before Laura could take action, the armed team of the Immortal City launched an attack on the Holy Trinity mercenaries. Thanks to the surprise attack and the advantage of heavy firepower, the first batch of Holy Trinity mercenaries were almost wiped out by Camilla and her companions. But Holy Trinity mercenary commander Rourke escaped from death and took away the dagger enshrined in the underground temple, completely regardless of the life and death of the project leader Dr. Domiguez. It seems that the mercenary commander's instructions came from A higher level.
The impact of the taking away of the keys to Chaquechel was so great that an earthquake swept through the Yucatan Peninsula. Camilla's team took Lara Croft and Dr. Domiguez, who was lucky enough to escape the bullet and survived, out of the temple that was about to be flooded by the sea. Behind them, a tsunami engulfed the small town of Cozumel. Later research showed that this was not a bomb planted by Trinity. The epicenter of the earthquake was in the ocean.
As a person with Mayan ancestry, Dr. Domigues knew that he did not fully control the project. In fact, he and the Holy Trinity had a mutually exploiting relationship, but he did not expect that the Holy Trinity's betrayal would come so quickly. With nowhere to go, Dr. Domigues was forced at gunpoint by Camila to temporarily join Lara Croft's research team, proactively providing her with expertise and elaborating on the details of the project.
According to Dr. Domiguez, the Chakchel Key and the Ixchel Silver Box can awaken Quetzalcoatl. This is the purpose of the Holy Trinity, to reshape the entire world. The former is the dagger of the god of creation, destruction, childbirth, water, weaving and textiles, healing and divination. The latter is the silver box of the Mayan moon goddess. According to legend, Ixichel holds a jar that pours out world-destroying rainwater. Itsumna, the husband of the goddess, can be transformed into a celestial bird with two wings, one black and one white, carrying a two-headed snake in its mouth.
Due to the frequent exchanges of historical documents and civilizations in Central and South America, the gods who wield the same power in the myths of the Inca, Mayan, and Aztec civilizations have different powers. The only thing that can be determined is that the two items, the Chakchel Key and the Ishchel Silver Box, are not ordinary artifacts of civilization, but relics from ancient times.
Documents sent from the Eternal City show that these items were served by local civilizations because of their strange properties. The names of the items were all far-fetched and added by later generations, which does not explain anything. Following the footsteps of the Holy Trinity to prevent them from awakening Quetzalcoatl, or obtaining the Silver Box of Ixichel in advance to terminate the Holy Trinity project, are the next main tasks of Lara Croft and Camilla.
Dr. Domiguez said that he wanted to use the power of the Holy Trinity to eliminate the impact of Quetzalcoatl's awakening.
"You better not lie, Domiguez." Camila returned to the crew compartment of the armored personnel carrier after finishing the conversation. No one doubted that there was something unusual about her using the excuse of going to the toilet to hide from the public eye, but Lara Croft still found that Camilla became obviously a little irritable when she returned to the crew cabin. "We have no time to waste, understand?"
Dr. Domiguez rubbed his hands unnaturally, looking very worried that Camila would doubt his loyalty because of the cartel militants who used the ruins as a drug manufacturing factory. In fact, I really have no loyalty at all. After all, this group of people are hiding secrets from him. Even Lara Croft rarely mentioned why she came to South America to conduct archaeological research.
Domiguez still can't figure out why Camilla's team can attack the Holy Trinity mercenaries so accurately. It costs a lot to support such an armed group. "There is no better historian of Central and South America than me in the entire world, excluding those who have passed away." Domiguez puffed up his chest, seeming to have gained courage from nowhere, "I was born here, Camila, we are all Peruvians. I have seen news about you on TV, rebel fighters, remnants of the Shining Path. You were in prison when Ollanta was president, and you were in prison when Pedro was president. But you were participating in this operation outside, how did you get here?"
"Because the route of the Shining Path is wrong." Camilla suddenly put aside her impatience and became so calm that it was so terrifying that Lara Croft, who was looking down at the documents and stone tablets, couldn't help but raise her head to look at her. "Shining Path failed to fully learn from the great man's thoughts, and it deserves its current end."
"It's really rare that the remnants of the Shining Path actually reflect on themselves." Dr. Domiguez raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head, unwilling to go further on this topic. When the left-wing movement in the international community was surging in the last century, Dr. Domíguez participated in a series of demonstrations against the military government as a student, and was almost attracted by the Shining Path's radical style, because the Shining Path's theme was too Refreshed. But in the later stages, the glorious path went further and further away, and it even began to lose its base. The Shining Path, which has lost the support of Peruvian farmers, has become more and more extreme. Its guiding ideology is only "armed struggle" instead of "how to direct armed struggle". Internal conflicts continue. Today, almost all major leaders have been arrested or killed in battle. , so it is difficult for Dr. Domiguez to believe that Camila, a die-hard remnant of the Shining Path, can make any changes.
"I want to protect my motherland, Dr. Domiguez, but I never think that I have done anything wrong with my actions." Camila was still not angry, nor did she hit Domiguez with the butt of her gun as others imagined. Dr. Si's face. "Now everything has started again. If you have seen the order we created, you will understand the difference between us and the Shining Path."
"But now here he is, digging things out of the dirt with us."
"This is also one of the ways to protect Peru. If a major flood occurs, Peru will suffer heavy casualties." Camila said with a serious expression, "If you really care about the Peruvian people, then cooperate with our work."
"You don't really trust him, do you, sir?" A young man who left the glorious path with Camilla hurriedly came to Camilla's side while others were not paying attention. Except for Camila, the others have basically not been influenced by the ideas from the Eternal City. Therefore, this team not only includes the remnants of the Shining Path, but also soldiers from the Peruvian government army. The ability to knead this group of people together proves that What a powerful personality Camilla has.
"How is that possible, you idiot." Camilla rolled her eyes. "As usual, keep an eye on Domiguez. Don't let him be alone with Lara Croft. Keep your pistol loaded and ready to kill him. I suspect Domigues' true purpose will soon be exposed. As a person with the Holy Trinity, An archaeologist from an intelligence network definitely knows that the drug manufacturing factory of the cartel group is inside the ruins. When we return to the ruins, I need someone to follow him at all times, do you understand?"
