Whispering Verse

After receiving Miss Bayas's signal, Shadra grabbed the two ladies in front and behind him, and then lit the [Bordeaux Candle]. The voices, heat and figures of the three people disappeared, and the light of the candle illuminated the eyes.

The three of them almost rushed out of the tunnel, but when they raised their hands to face attacks from all directions, they saw no men with ferocious faces waiting for them outside.

The candle light illuminated their surroundings, and they finally felt relieved.

The passage is connected to an underground space similar to the size of Shade's bedroom, which can barely be regarded as a cube space. Opposite the wall dug out by the mercury blood is a closed stone door. Except for the stone gate, there is nothing here.

This is the official entrance to the ruins. The word "shabby" is probably the right word to describe this place. It is not the huge building complex in the underground cavity as imagined, nor the ancient witch emperor's mausoleum legendary in the story, it is just a place like a dark room buried deep underground.

"If this place was really built by the last followers of the [Innocent Creator], they should have almost reached their end by then."

Miss Bayas commented that she was a little sentimental. After all, the other party was also a believer in the good god, and he persisted for thousands of years after the god left.

Instead of pushing the door open immediately, the three of them dispersed and looked around. Shade raised his finger and carefully observed the surrounding rock walls. Except for the side where the stone door was located, the other three sides were actually engraved with text. It is obvious that the ruins were established in the early Sixth Period (Chapter 172), but the characters used are not from this period.

Fortunately, no matter which era those words belonged to, it made no difference to Shade. He translated:

[In the year 532 of the General Calendar of the Sixth Era, Joel Ode Caris, Scarlett Card Guzman, and Gina Angela Sewell jointly sealed the ruins. Our Lord has left, and we are about to sleep. The glory of the Order has been glorious for thousands of years, but all things must eventually perish. May our Lord, the "Innocent Creator", grant glory again on the day of resurrection. 】

As he read, both women looked over.

"Do you recognize these words?"

Shade stopped translating and asked them.

"do not know."

The brown-haired girls shook their heads together.

"No, I'm not talking about whether you know these words, but do you know what kind of writing this kind of writing is?"

Shade asked again, and Miss Bayas blushed:

"My ancient literature score...the Holy See almost failed me to pass the test."

"I don't know, this should be some kind of rare ancient script. This kind of religious order inherited from ancient times likes to use rare ancient script as a method of internal communication. On the one hand, it shows the antiquity of its own organization, and on the other hand, it also serves the purpose of Safety."

Miss Anat said, she knew that Shade could understand all texts, so she didn’t ask any more questions:

"[Mercury Blood] should not be able to translate these contents. Let's see if there is any valuable information. We have to move forward as soon as possible. Detective, give me the magic eye first, and I will go to the front in a while."

Shade handed the small jar he carried to her, then raised his finger and continued to read the words. This kind of text has very little word information and requires a long paragraph to describe simple things, so there is not much content left:

[If our Lord revives, the oracle will surely guide future generations to discover the remains of the Order. My Lord’s last creation turned into an artifact rated as a sage-level relic by the Zhengshen Church deep in the ruins...]

"Artifact?"

Miss Bayas interrupted Shade in surprise:

"Is [God's Gift Box] a creation of the old god's 'innocent creator'? Or is there a more powerful relic inside the ruins?"

"Xia De, continue to translate."

Miss Anat frowned too.

All three of them were sweating on their foreheads. Although there was enough oxygen underground, it was really stuffy here:

[Anyone who comes after you must not desecrate our Lord’s artifact and must take it away according to the etiquette of the religious order. 】

"What is the etiquette?"

Miss Bayas asked again.

Shade glanced at the next few paragraphs:

"I didn't say it. It seems that they assume that the latecomers know the etiquette."

"Detective, continue to translate, apart from the so-called creations of the old gods, what else is in the ruins?"

[The church has accumulated thousands of years of accumulation, and before sealing the ruins, all were donated through the Zhengshen Church...]

"ah?"

The young girl subconsciously said in surprise, then covered her mouth in embarrassment and motioned for Shade to continue.

[In addition to the creations of our Lord, build a defense system with several relics to warn thieves. Also...]

The traces are a little blurry, but you can still barely see them:

[There is also the "Teaching Book of the Ignorants" of the sect's teachings, which is preserved in eighteen pure gold engravings;]

[There is also a statue of my Lord’s Holy Emblem, sleeping together with the three of me;]

[There are also filthy relics sealed by the religious sect and suppressed here;]

Shade suddenly coughed and subconsciously covered his mouth. When he looked down, he saw blood in his palm.

Miss Bayas and Miss Anat nearby saw the blood at the corner of his mouth and immediately stopped:

"Stop looking, Detective, stop it."

With that said, Miss Bayas was about to pull Shade.

"It doesn't matter, there is only one last sentence left."

Shade shook his head and moved his eyes slightly away from the stone wall before finally feeling dizzy. This kind of ancient writing itself is powerful, and he didn't even realize it just now. If this had been a longer article, he would most likely have died quietly.

[Did you forget that you still have me? It's really dangerous, I'll warn you. 】

"I haven't forgotten."

He answered in his mind and continued to raise his head, but Miss Anat held his hand and looked at him with purple eyes:

"Be careful."

The female fortune teller reminded softly.

[The sect has been glorious for thousands of years, but it finally came to an end in the hands of the three of me. Sleeping with this, the spirit...]

The life ring in the soul trembled violently, and the spirit in the body was actually affected by the words, which made the [Dark Box] out of control incident come to mind.

Shade, who had learned a lesson, immediately closed his eyes and forced himself to forget the shapes of the dozens of notches behind him. It took him a long time to say:

"No, the last sentence is like a spell. There are also defensive measures here."

Fortunately, he only read the beginning, so he didn't cause any trouble. And through the carvings on the three walls, they also learned that besides the [God's Gift Box], there were actually other valuable things in the ruins.

However, even if [Mercury Blood] cannot translate these words and have occupied this place for so long, they have most likely already searched inside the ruins. So except for the immovable sage-level relic [God's Gift Box], there is probably nothing worth taking away in the ruins.

The next step is to officially enter behind the door. Although Miss Anat has only divined three dangerous relics on the way, it is obvious that these three relics cannot be the only ones blocking the way in the ruins.

There might even be a person with silver eyes at the door, just wait for the three people to open the door and then kill them with one move.

We are already here, and there is no need to talk about retreating.

Shade put on the gold necklace and lit the candle to make himself and Miss Bayas disappear. Miss Anat held two jars containing magic eyes in her left hand and hit the stone door with her right arm.

The stone door was opened, as if endless darkness floated out from behind the door. The only thing that could be seen behind the door were two huge red light sources, which reminded Shade of Mia the cat peeping at him through the crack in the door in the dark.

But the thing behind the door was obviously not a harmless creature like Mia. Even though Shade was standing behind Miss Anat, he still felt the terror and distortion coming from the back door of the stone door.

The biological instinct is to fear the unknown that exists behind the door, and the two red light sources seem to warn of danger.

Ice spread from the cracks in the door, and the cold wind was mixed with a foul smell, like air coming from a lonely grave in the mountains. An inexplicable feeling warned Shade not to move forward.

After this moment, he suddenly understood that the two huge red balls should be eyes, and based on this calculation, the size of the owner of the eyes, then... Shade has never had any phobia of giant objects, but when he thought of this , I still feel like my scalp is numb.

The wind was blowing violently, and something was rushing towards here in the darkness behind the door. Miss Anat was as stunned as Shade, but now she reacted and without thinking, she threw the two jars she was holding forward.

The candle in their hand could only illuminate a space very close to the stone door. The three of them saw together that the two glass jars containing magic eyes that were thrown into the door were held by giant hands stretched out from the darkness. Then the giant hand retracted into the darkness where the light of the candle had not yet illuminated, the ice spreading from the door stopped, and the wind carrying the foul smell also stopped.

The three of them were breathing heavily. At that moment, they really felt like they were in danger. After the giant stone hands retreated, they dared to completely enter behind the door. Shade raised her fingers, and Miss Bayas called out several bright yellow light balls to fly into the sky.

Obviously the space outside the door is not as narrow as a normal bedroom, but the space behind the first door really looks a bit like the ancient underground ruins in the story.

The space behind the door is still very empty. The specific area is about the same size as Saint Teresa Square, and the height is more than four floors. The giant stone statue stood in the center of this empty space, with its feet on the ground and its head in the sky, its head almost directly touching the highest stone wall.

The stone statue has a total of two legs, four hands, and three heads. Semicircular stone rings connect the shoulders on both sides and draw an arc trajectory on the top of the head.

The huge red eye you just saw is located on the central head. In addition, other eyes are densely covered almost everywhere on the entire stone statue from top to bottom. The stone statue was as motionless as a dead thing, but the thousands of eyes were constantly opening and closing under the silver and yellow light. The eyes looked at the "small" three people, and each eye clearly revealed The color of wisdom.

"Is this a gargoyle?"

Even if this thing is motionless, its own sense of oppression is enough to drive a mentally fragile person crazy. At the same time, this can be regarded as the largest [relic] that Shade has ever seen.
