Chapter 18: The Old Gods Once Upon a Time
Dark clouds shrouded the sky over the city of Heru, and behind a few fiery red clouds, it was the sunshine that people longed for, and only with sunlight could the crops grow, but unfortunately, this was a luxury for the civilians of Heru City.
Even in the morning, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, after all, everyone is busy, lazy equals hunger, and the burning sensation of stomach acid eroding the stomach pouch will gradually make people go crazy and do very irrational things.
Syllable~
A piece of wet wood was split in half, and the woodcutter gasped for a moment before he erected the second log and grasped the handle of the axe wrapped in the filthy strip of cloth.
Su Xiao stopped in front of the headquarters of the Wizarding Society, the towering building seemed to be about to pierce into the dark clouds, and he could vaguely see what was entrenched above the building, but under the shroud of mist, it was impossible to see the whole picture of the thing.
The main gate on the first floor of the Wizarding Society was open all day, Su Xiao walked in the forefront, Bubuwang and Eminem followed, Baha habitually squatted on Eminem's shoulder, and Caesar sneakily followed behind, with a unique temperament.
After Su Xiao entered the first floor of the Wizarding Society, he went straight to the stairs inside, this staircase was in a Z-shaped upward line, because no one had taken care of it for a long time, and the environment was humid, there was a layer of black dirt on the steps, and it was very hard to step on.
Going up the stairs, Su Xiao stopped on the tenth floor, and a layer of objects that resembled tree roots sealed the staircase.
Su Xiao pressed on the root layer of the tree with one hand, and the root layer of the tree made a crunching sound, and finally retracted into the walls on both sides.
"Don't go up, it's a sin to know too much."
A rough-skinned woman with a black wood-handled spear sat on the steps, her two eye sockets sunken downward, apparently gouging out of her eyeballs.
“……”
Su Xiao didn't speak, just walked past the witch and continued to go up.
"A word of advice, those people are just cowards."
The sorceress turned her head sideways to face Su Xiao, her messy hair hanging to the side, and she grinned, revealing a mouth full of metal teeth.
"Coward?"
Su Xiao's footsteps stopped, and if he could appear above the tenth floor of the Wizarding Society, of course he would not be a small person.
"They're cowards, so what are you?"
Su Xiao left this sentence and continued to walk up the stairs.
"Me? Hmm~, a poor worm who has struggled, not even as good as a coward. ”
The sorceress's shoulders shrugged and her smile was creepy, and Caesar, at the back of the line, chose to stay away from her.
Continuing upward, Su Xiao didn't see any other wizards until he reached the thirtieth floor, where the stairs ended, and a long corridor appeared in front of him.
The corridor was about five meters wide, with candlesticks on the walls on either side every few meters, and arm-thick gray candles were burning slowly, and wax oil was piled up high on the side of the wall.
Obviously, the tenth to thirty floors of the wizarding club are taken care of, and there is a high probability that the blind witch, Moen Dee and the like, cannot compete with the combat power of this witch at all, such a person is just miscellaneous.
Walking to the depths of the corridor, only the sound of footsteps was quiet around him, and after walking more than twenty meters away, Su Xiao came to the stone gate that he had seen through the video image before.
The stone door is uneven and looks very old, and mottled red marks can be seen on the yellow-brown stone, some of which look like bloody handprints, and some of which look like faces.
Su Xiao took out the iron medal he got from Caesar, which was originally issued by the Wizard Society, but was transformed by Caesar.
"My generous friend, don't, let Caesar come."
Caesar stepped forward quickly and motioned for Su Xiao to give him the iron card, but Su Xiao didn't care too much, so he threw the iron card to Caesar.
Taking the iron card, Caesar's hand reached into his trouser pocket and pulled out the ......
Seeing this scene, Su Xiao decided that he didn't want the broken dog tag.
Caesar eventually pulled out a cloud of light green gelatin, pressed the iron plaque inside, and attached it to the stone door.
The iron plate decayed at a rate visible to the naked eye, eventually turning to ashes.
Click, click......
Caesar put his ear to the stone door, and after knocking, signaled that the door could be opened, and for safety, he ran to the back of the line with small steps.
Su Xiao's hand pushed up the stone door, it was very heavy.
Thundered......
Dust scattered through the crack in the door, and this dusty place that had been sealed for a long time was opened today.
[Hint: You have entered the Church of the Old God.] 】
Pushing open the stone door, Su Xiao's hand waved in front of him to dispel the choking dust.
Looking ahead, this is a 300-square-meter church, the whole church looks very old, there is a circular stepped stone staircase in the center, about ten meters deep downward, and at the bottom of the position, there is a stone carving, the stone carving has no specific features, not even the appearance, can only be judged from the body shape, this is the image of a young woman.
Su Xiao looked towards the edge of the church, where there were three stone chairs, diagonally shaped.
The three stone chairs were more than two meters wide and embedded in the walls, two of them were empty, and the mottled blood stains on them could be seen, and the last stone chair sat with a figure of Dao.
"Another one to die."
Some hoarse voices came, Su Xiao looked sideways, in the open space inside the church, a figure was hanging upside down, chains penetrated his ankles, hanging him two meters from the ground, tattered linen wrapped around his feet, legs and torso, all the way to his neck, burns could be seen from the gaps, shocking.
Su Xiao stepped forward, although the church was dilapidated, it was not dark, he saw the face of this figure clearly, this was an old man who couldn't judge his age, he was too old, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like a skinny skeleton.
"This is the Immortal Wizard? Caesar, hurry up and close the stone door, this old fellow should not be able to see the wind, in case he dies, he will be in trouble. ”
Baha began his daily ramblings, after all, the old man said, 'I'm here to die again.'"
"I don't die so easily, if I could, I would have been freed."
The old man who had been hanged upside down opened one eye, which was completely white.
"Dawn?"
Su Xiao was not surprised by the appearance of the immortal wizard, or rather, it was already good to be able to negotiate normally.
"I'm not, the paranoia over there is, I'm ......"
The old man who hanged himself stopped when he said this, and thought for nearly half a minute before he spoke:
"I'm Gus, a lingering loser."
The attitude of the hanging old man Gus seems to be that he no longer cares about anything.
"Immortal Sorcerer Guth?"
Caesar's eyes were full of disbelief, looking the old man up and down, Su Xiao looked at Caesar with some doubts.
"It is said that the holy silver was provided by him, of course, this is a rumor, and the credibility is not high......"
"Holy Silver."
Gus's eyes were all opened, staring straight at Caesar, who was startled and took two steps back.
"It's been a long time since I've heard anyone mention this thing, I was so stupid that I was willing to burn myself and quench the holy silver, if I were still the old god, I wouldn't be like this, I shouldn't believe in the dawn, and I shouldn't believe in the light of hope, in the end, their good is not enough to defeat those evil."
Gus inadvertently reveals an important piece of information, he was once an old god, but after burning himself, he ceased to be an old man who was hung upside down.
"Don't look at me like that, the old gods are nothing great, in front of the real gods, they are simply vulnerable, they lose, they lose until they even lose the sunshine, hahahaha......"
In a burst of self-deprecating laughter, Gus closed his eyes, the second important information, the real god.
