Chapter 296: The Castle Follows the Trail of Life and Death 08
Walking through the cloister, the group walked aimlessly, and by the light of torches and flashlights, Bai Lu saw the narrow doors and windows, the semicircular arches, the low cupola, and the door frame decoration picked out layer by floor, and it was easy to see that the interior of the castle was in the Romanesque style.
The small windows contrast strongly with the vast space inside, and this structure is designed to dim the interior even during the day, especially at night when it is thundering!
Although everyone was looking left and right, the pace was still very tight, and after the racer "flew solo", the rest of the team did not follow the impetuousness, not to mention that after that, at least tonight they all relied on the team.
Bai Lu thinks this is very good, as long as she doesn't act without permission, then she can reduce the risk factor, of course, she also knows in her heart that since everyone is here for the bounty, then, this kind of "obedience" must have a time limit, but no matter what, the thunder and lightning tonight is the most important thing to spend safely first.
Everyone had this idea, and as a result, the entire team was now united in their goal of finding a safe place to spend the night.
Passing through another corridor, Bai Lu was squinting ahead...... It seems that a figure shook a little, but it can't be?
"Ahh
"What's wrong, what's wrong?"
"That's?"
The light of everyone's fire was concentrated at the girl's feet, and at first glance they thought it was a person who had fallen to the ground, but after taking a closer look, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was a medieval knight full suit of armor that was slightly larger than a real person, probably because of its age. So the girl's boots kicked off, and the knight's helmet rolled off.
"It's nothing, let's move on!" Mr. Yamada commanded.
Everyone invariably paid extra attention to their feet, thinking that they should not step on any messy things, if they really stepped on gold, silver and jewelry, it would be unlucky, if they stepped on the corpse skull or something, it would be unlucky, after all, for this kind of lucky bounty action, it is still Tujili.
"Look!" shouted the actress who had already coiled up her wavy blond hair, pointing ahead.
Bai Lu looked at it fixedly. I saw two rows of armored knights standing at the gate in front of me. It seems to be arranged symmetrically, because there is one place where one is missing, and after counting it, there are 11 in total. Everyone guesses. The Eight Achievements that the girl had just stepped on was the 12th missing here.
After approaching. Everyone slowed down, and each used a flashlight or torch to shine on the sculptures to take a closer look, and Bai Lu felt that these statues were a bit like terracotta warriors and horses made in the ancient Qin Dynasty of Huaguo. All are tall and burly, majestic.
But the difference is not small, unlike the thousands of faces of the terracotta warriors, these in front of you can't see the face, because the armor wraps the knights from head to toe, leaving only two slits for the eyes and some small holes for the nose, just now when the girl kicked the one that fell to the ground in the front section, it clattered on the floor, which shows the heaviness of the metal.
Bai Lu's torch took a closer look at an armored knight, only to see that the armor had a letterpress pattern, as well as intaglio characters, guessing that the characters might be the title of this armor knight, or it could be the signature of the master maker, when she saw the decoration of the armor knight's chest inlaid with gold and gemstones, Bai Lu felt a cat scratch in her heart, she really wanted to pick off the swollen what to do? However, in the end, she still held back.
"Squeak~Dumb~" The door guarded by the armor knight was pushed open by the mercenaries and Mr. Yamada.
"Ahem~~" The mother and son and the blonde actor in front of them all coughed because of the smell of dust and musty, and after a little ventilation, everyone entered in turn.
"It's a church!?" exclaimed the girl.
"What a fuss!" the blonde woman said: "There is a church in the castle, this is normal!"
"The earliest castles were fortifications against foreign invasion and included walls, towers, churches, armouries, granaries, stables, soldiers' quarters, etc. The adventure novelist followed by the introduction of the following knowledge: "However, with the evolution of history, the castle has gradually become a resort building for the enjoyment of the aristocracy. ”
"And what kind of Aphridite castle are we staying in now?" Bai Lu humbly asked.
Aphridite is Venus in ancient Greek and Roman mythology, the goddess of love and beauty, and naturally the latter meaning. The blonde beauty looked back and said.
"Yes, the island is called Gaea, and the earth god Gaia is the mother of the earth, the earliest god in Greek mythology, so it should be guessed that this is what it means. The adventure novelist affirmed the blonde beauty's claim.
"Oh~ That's it. Bai Lu nodded: "Then the cruise ship Ganelon we took when we came, what kind of god is this Ganelon?"
"He's not a god. The short-haired female photographer, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Ganilong is a betrayer of the Twelve Paladins. ”
"Betrayer?" Bai Lu read along, thinking: Why did the cruise ship take the name of a betrayer? Is it a duplicate name? Also, what is the origin of the Twelve Paladins? What kind of betrayal is this Ganilon?
N question marks popped up in Bai Lu's mind, but the short-haired female photographer had already turned her head, and her cold appearance obviously didn't want to say more, which made the flame of curiosity ignited in Bai Lu's heart jump up, but there was nowhere to burn.
"We'll rest at the church tonight!" Mr. Yamada and the mercenaries made the decision after looking around.
Since everyone is a temporary team of strangers, they do not need to be responsible for each other, therefore, in collective action, everyone must have something to give, otherwise they are not eligible to enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Of course, if you do things for two by yourself, like the boyfriend of a pretty girl, then everyone will turn a blind eye and forget it, after all, so far, there is no conflict on the surface for the time being.
After Bai Lu put down the backpack, he and the bank staff worked together to move the table and chair, because the mercenary said that he wanted to make a fire just now, the two of them raised their hands on the corner of the table, and then moved with force, only to see that the dust on the table and chair was as thick as gray seed cotton wool, which made people directly give up the idea of cleaning it up.
After clearing a large open space, Bai Lu's original torch had been planted on the wall by the mercenaries for lighting, and he saw that the sticks used as firewood were placed on the ground fenced with metal strips, and Bai Lu got closer to find that they were all tables, chairs and bench legs.
Well, the torch she was holding all the way seemed to be a table leg, which was really an afterthought.
After the simple fire was made, the orange firelight smoked the dark church with a hazy hue, sitting in front of the fire, Bai Lu felt a little warm, but if you look up at the whole room, there is still a little secret.
Fortified castles, old churches, silent in the hustle and bustle of the era of technological development, as if forgotten by the years.
Everything is dusty.
Bai Lu looked at the jumping flames, and her eyes were a little dazed: it seems that this is a very suitable place for some romantic and desperate love dramas, of course, it is more likely that there are some murders in the castle and a thrilling scene of revenge in the church.
