To Four Thousand Years Later

According to Bishop Linktor's instructions, Leonardo quickly found the stronghold of the Order of the Rosary.

This is indeed a position that Leonardo could not have imagined. Because that stronghold is in the abandoned underground prison in the city of Catania at the foot of Mount Etna.

You know, Mount Etna is an active volcano, and it can be said that it is not safe at all here.

It even erupted once more than 30 years ago, directly destroying the city of Catania.

At that time, the lava ejected from the crater was tens of meters high, the dense and huge smoke column pierced into the clouds, and the several kilometers long molten stream flowed directly into the city. Only ten years later, it erupted again. It's just that this time no personal injury was caused.

A pair, the one when Yastaru threw Abaddon up there. Even though it is still in the intermittent eruption period, the top of Mount Etna is full of smoke all day long. Like a sleeping, snoring gigantic monster.

But even knowing the dangers of Mount Etna, the residents of Catania still don't want to leave their hometown... Even if it is such a dangerous place, if the volcano erupts with bad luck, not many people will survive. . Every time after the city of Catania was reduced to ashes, the survivors would search for traces of their own lives in the ruins, and stubbornly rebuild their homes again.

They are always reluctant to leave the city of Catania.

Zu Zucui relies on L to eat mountains. Generations will never leave. As if there is some kind of magic that attracts people's hearts. Originally, this was regarded as a traditional custom.

But if you take it into consideration, the Order of the Rose has always existed here, hidden under the city of Tania. So. Why are these people so obsessed. There may be a new explanation for lingering here and not wanting to leave.

- They may be really possessed.

In the psionic technology of the Order of the Rose, there may be the ability to inadvertently modify the mind of others, so that people can stay in a certain place and do not want to leave. And what is the purpose of letting these people stay in Catania forever at all costs?

…or are the inhabitants themselves their purpose?

But building a stronghold in Catania is already a very stupid thing.

Take the technical and organizational types of the Order of the Rosary. There must be many sophisticated equipment, high-tech models, and a large number of precious books and materials in their stronghold. There may also be a large number of living people—people like researchers, scholars, or psionic teachers, for example.

Once a volcano erupts, even if they are underground, they are not necessarily immune to it. In case if the volcanic rock is too thick, the surface will die. Allow oxygen to be shut off; before the sealed passageway is reopened. There is no way to obtain supplies; or the lava simply flows from the passage to the ground, which is tantamount to disaster for them. There are so many cities in Sicily, but they are stationed in the only and most dangerous one.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Bishop Hector asked Leonardo who had been silent all the time, "Could it be that you have an idea?" "

"Yes. You know, the Order of the Rosary has existed for a long time, and they have been in Sicily for a long time. Anyway, I can't find out how Catania is better than other cities. Are there any resources? Replacement.

"So excluding the possibility of willfulness or no choice, they may have chosen this city. It is because this is a city that is constantly being reborn," Leonardo said. The essence of the Order of the Rose is still a mysterious gathering , Psyker Cult.

They have a huge number of psychic users, and perhaps some special individuals with extremely useful psychic powers will be born from them. Catania itself is known as the "City of Rebirth" in Sicily. This is a city that is extremely rare in Sardinia, even in Europe, and even in the whole world. It is a city that is constantly being destroyed and rebuilt since the beginning of history, until now, and even in the future. Every time it is rebuilt, it will absorb the current popular style. and new technologies that have just been introduced. And among the destroyed ruins of each layer, there will be wreckage and traces of the previous era. That is. Each lower level gets older. The new man digs the grave for the old man and buries the past. This is how you get reborn.

So... The Order of the Rose places its stronghold at the lowest level, do you want to use this intention to refer to something?

for example

"Probably here, Your Majesty.

Bishop Hector said respectfully.

His words interrupted Leonardo's thinking, but anyway, the final answer was ready, so Leonardo didn't say much.

"I've heard of this place," Leonardo stared at the sign and said with a smile, "The famous haunted prison.

In front of them was an abandoned underground prison. Two hundred years ago, because some prisoners dug through the wall connecting the underground waterway, the entire underground prison was washed away by the water flow, resulting in the unfortunate deaths of the warden and countless prisoners.

After the escaped prisoners were captured and executed, the underground prison faced the problem of being abandoned. In less than two hours, the water has grown to a height of nearly 30 meters, and it is about to stretch out. Perhaps on rare occasions, there might be some survivors down there who happen to be inside the enclosure...but that's unlikely. Considering that most of the prisoners held here are serious criminals, and Bokou is located at the lowest level of the prison, it is difficult to maintain and it is inconvenient to pump water—so the construction team did not consider rescue and repair, but chose to simply fill it up and completely seal it off. die. This will ensure that the flow of water will not die from the underground prison. Come... if something happens because of someone escaping from prison, and drowns the flowers and plants in the lord's back garden. Someone is going to be unlucky because of it. At this time, it was less than half a day before the incident. The work efficiency can be said to be quite fast.

But it also has some folk rumors.

It is said that when the underground prison was buried and sealed, there were actually people below who did not drown. Some prisoners were born in the water, and the water quality was excellent. They waited for the water to rise and then escaped. However, the voices for help were ignored by the construction team, and the ghosts of the prisoners who were buried alive and suffocated below became Wraith, the health of the surrounding residents will gradually become poor, and even Yun Yun will suffer from some terminal illnesses. Therefore, people around have moved away from here, and no one even wants to approach this neighborhood. It was originally just a fun horror story. After listening to it, I laughed and sighed a few times and it was over.

But if you know, the Order of the Rose is here... Some details in this story may have some new explanations.

"My lord, be careful."

Yastaru said suddenly: "There is a very strong curse around... It seems that many people have died here. And the further down, the stronger the curse. Leonardo was silent for a while, and asked back.

The other three were taken aback when they heard this.

They also seemed to realize something.
