Super Doctor of the Universe

Chapter 207 Canyon Ruins

To be honest, Laura's father was an explorer who was even better than Laura. He left behind a lot of information. Laura's decision to embark on the road of exploration was inseparable from the influence of her father.

After some searching, the two soon found the legend of the Syrian prophet in the information left by Laura's father.

In 970 AD, the prophet Jacob came to Constantinople, which was the capital of the most powerful Byzantine Empire at that time. The state religion was Orthodox Christianity, and religious power was extremely strong at that time.

Before coming to Constantinople, Jacob was already very famous. It was rumored that he had God-like abilities. He preached all the way, looking for his supporters and followers, and gave his own speeches in Constantinople.

Jacob's preaching was very successful, and he gained a large number of supporters, including nobles, which made the Orthodox Church panic. The Church began to spread the rumor that Jacob was a charlatan and a liar, causing believers on both sides to fight each other. Jacob chose to leave and go to Syria.

At that time, Syria was also the territory of Byzantium, but in the border area. On the way, the Holy See sent the Knights to assassinate Jacob. The spear pierced Jacob's heart, but Jacob had the ability of immortality and he was resurrected.

Jacob had the ability of immortality and medical magic, but he did not know how to fight, so the believers wrapped his body, continued to Syria, and built the Prophet's Tomb, trying to hide it.

But the news that Jacob was not dead was still known to the Holy See. The Holy See did not believe it at first, thinking that it was the self-consolation of those believers, but it still sent the Knights to explore again. In Syria, the believers and the Knights fought, and finally the believers defeated the Holy See Knights.

In the decisive battle, the prophet's artifact, the sacred source that could give humans immortality, disappeared.

There are a lot of relevant information left by Laura's father. After a lot of research, Laura's father believed that the sacred source was still preserved in the tomb of the prophet. As long as it was obtained, the secret of immortality could be solved.

After some comparison, the two confirmed that the ancient tomb of the prophet was near the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, so they decided to go to Syria.

The situation in Syria is very unstable, and various armed forces are fighting unprecedentedly fiercely. Organizations supported by various countries are intertwined in this area, making Syria's political situation seriously chaotic.

Link and Laura first arrived at the airport on a cargo plane that was delivering materials to Syria, and got a military jeep directly at the airport to set off.

When they passed a checkpoint when leaving the city, their car was stopped by soldiers. Link took out the prepared press card. After searching, the other party reminded:

"You'd better not go too far south. There is a battle over there. If you are caught by those rebels, you may not have a good result."

After leaving, the two walked all the way south according to the map, and also took a signal marker left by Laura's father.

The car was moving forward on the bumpy mountain road. Link was sitting in the co-pilot seat, looking at the map through the satellite signal, and said: "The war zone is not far ahead, we have to be careful."

Looking at the signal marker in Link's hand, Laura knew that they were very close to the legendary Tomb of the Prophet!

At this time, the two faintly heard a rumbling sound.

"It seems to be the sound of a helicopter, be careful." Link said, looking back, and saw an armed helicopter flying from behind them.

Now that the two people are close to the war zone, it is not surprising to encounter a helicopter, but at this moment, looking at the approaching armed helicopter, Link had a bad premonition in his heart, and immediately said: "I don't think these guys are inviting us to a party, speed up."

After Link finished speaking, Laura, who was driving, also looked at the rearview mirror, found the helicopter, and immediately stepped on the accelerator.

At this time, the armed helicopter suddenly opened fire, and the Vulcan gun on the helicopter fired fiercely at the off-road vehicle. Fortunately, the car accelerated suddenly and avoided this wave of shooting.

The Vulcan gun was extremely powerful. If it was hit, Link would never be in a good situation even if he had a magic shield and protective clothing. He immediately took out a rocket launcher from the storage space, aimed it at the helicopter behind, opened the safety, and pressed the launch button.

The helicopter driver saw that Link suddenly had a rocket launcher in his hand, and couldn't help cursing, and then quickly pulled the joystick to avoid it.

However, Link had already aimed at the opponent, and as the rocket passed a tail flame in the air, it directly hit the helicopter.

"Boom!" A huge flame burst out of the helicopter in mid-air, burning into a fireball, falling downwards, the propeller inertially chopped on the ground, making a crackling sound, and the machine parts fell to the ground and burned fiercely.

After a quick glance, Link put the rocket launcher back into space, and the off-road vehicle continued to move forward. Laura said to Link: "Link, why do you think the helicopter attacked us just now?"

"I don't know. There are various forces intertwined here, and the situation is complicated. It is possible that those forces have recognized the wrong person, or it may be other organizations, such as Trinity." Link said.

Laura frowned and said: "Our operation this time is very secretive. How could the people of Trinity know about it?"

"The power of Trinity is huge. The key is that many people do not take the initiative to reveal themselves. We don't know that they are from Trinity. Your father was the focus of attention before. We just crushed their conspiracy to obtain the Triangle of Light some time ago. It is not surprising that he was targeted.

Laura nodded and didn't continue talking, but her expression became more serious.

The two continued to move forward for a while, and Link said, "Stop the car, it should be nearby."

Laura stepped on the brakes, and Link got out first, came to the edge of a cliff next to him, and looked down. Under the setting sun, a piece of ancient city ruins appeared in the eyes of the two.

Seeing this piece of ruins, Laura said, "My father mentioned the ruins of this ancient city in his research, and also said that the tomb of the prophet was hidden in the cliffs above a lost city..."

At this point, Laura couldn't help but look down at the mountain cliffs below, and the dilapidated stone walls that merged with the cliffs, and then looked at Link, and the two of them began to cast magic at the same time.

Soon, the bodies of the two floated up and slowly fell from the cliff to the bottom.

With the help of magic, the exploration efficiency of the two people was much higher. They soon found a passage blocked by stones, leaving only a gap, and they could faintly see two rusty iron fence gates.

After clearing away the stones and opening the gate, the two entered one after another. When they passed through a narrow path and came to an open cave, a dilapidated stone pillar standing in the center immediately attracted Laura's full attention.

"It's incredible!" Laura walked closer and looked at the unknown words engraved on the huge stone pillar. She couldn't help but touch it with her hand. After studying it for a while, she said, "I have seen the words on it in my father's research. It means prophet. My father is right. This must be the legendary tomb of the prophet!"

Link turned his eyes to the stone wall of the cave, which was painted with murals with a strong religious color. The content of the murals was generally a man in a robe and a beard, reaching out to the people.

The two continued to search and soon found that a stone wall was loose. They opened a large hole in the stone wall without hesitation.

After entering, what came into view was an ancient building that was integrated with the mountain and full of Byzantine architectural style. Around the building, there was an oasis scene with streams and lush grass.

In the deep valley of the desolate mountains, there is such a beautiful scenery, which makes people feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel, but two people randomly looked up at the same time!
