Turn back time by one day.

The eve of Varona's accession to the throne as queen.

Gu Qingshan had just returned from the ocean and returned to the mountain villa.

Su Xue'er is still in the wrong path of fate.

In the evening.

The junction of the Holy Kingdom and Fuxi.

A barren town.

The church in the town was a little dilapidated, but fortunately there was an elderly priest stationed at it.

Over the years, the doors of the church have been left open, rain or shine.

But today, the doors of the church are tightly closed.

The curious townsfolk inquired and found out why.

With a history of nearly 100 years, the large candlelight ceiling that creaks when the wind blows has finally come to an end. It fell off the ceiling.

The ceiling smashed two rows of seats, nearly hitting the elderly priest.

In this way, the church can no longer be used.

Maybe it was to repair the chairs and benches, maybe it was a panic and needed a break, in short, the old priest announced the temporary closure of the church

The doors rumbled shut, separating the inside and outside of the church into two worlds.

Inside a quiet church.

The old priest's voice suddenly sounded.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, you are the greatest talent in the history of the Medici family, and you are the only master of the family who has completely mastered the ancient techniques. ”

"The old man thinks that you are already the strongest of the family masters in the past, and there is no need to venture here again."

Across from him, the beautiful red-haired girl said, "Don't persuade me anymore, I have to give it a try." ”

Anna.

Anna is here.

She was carrying a large backpack and standing in the church.

The old priest said bitterly: "The family has produced many excellent heirs in the past, and each of them has exhausted his wisdom and has not awakened the god of death. ”

"There are several family heirs who even committed suicide in front of the sleeping treasure box, just hoping that the god of death would appear to meet them."

"But no matter what method is used, there is still no response from the Sleeping Treasure Box."

"All this time, only the First Ancestor has ever opened it."

"Your Highness Anna, this treasure box is an ominous thing, the old man advises you to go back quickly."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm the head of the house, the head of the house must try it once, this is the rule!" Anna crossed her waist.

The old priest sighed: "There is no one left in the family, and for the sake of the inheritance and continuation of the family, your more important task is to ensure the safety of your own life." ”

Anna nodded, "You're right, I don't think I'm better than my ancestors, I just want to end this inheritance task quickly." ”

The old priest was slightly stunned.

Anna said: "I have never felt that I am better than those ancestors in history, and I also cherish my life, and I came here as the head of the family, just so that I have no regrets in retrospect." ”

“…… I see. ”

The old priest looked at her carefully, and found that she really did not look hopeful, and then he was relieved.

He was afraid that Anna would not be able to open it, so he had to spend some huge price trying to open the inheritance treasure box.

The Medici family can no longer afford any losses.

"But—why are you a little anxious when I look at your appearance, Your Highness?" The old priest asked cautiously.

Anna said: "Nonsense, it's over here, I have to go back immediately!" ”

She clenched her fists and said, "I have eaten all the ancient techniques, I am no longer the person I used to be, I am going to kill the Pope!" ”

"Your Highness Anna, I believe in your abilities."

The old priest smiled, as if very pleased.

"One last question, Your Highness." He said.

"You say."

"Do you have a prop in your backpack that you can use to awaken the Grim Reaper?"

"Hey, the bag that the girl carries with her, of course, is for herself, what is it for the Grim Reaper."

"Hahaha, okay, please come in."

The old priest walked somewhere in the church and lit a torch.

He held the torch in one hand and pressed the mechanism hidden in the shadows with the other.

Slight vibration.

The floor of the church caved in, revealing an ancient secret passage.

Call!

Fierce winds rushed out of the secret passages and raged in the church.

The old priest turned and stood on the side of the tunnel.

"Your Highness Anna, be careful in everything."

The old priest handed the torch to Anna.

"Okay, okay, you guard the outside, I'll go in and have a look, if it doesn't work, I'll quit, never forcefully." Anna said.

She took the torch and walked into the secret passage without looking back.

The old priest looked at Anna's back and sighed, "Your Highness has finally grown up. ”

Anna walked down the tunnel.

After a while, the tunnel became steep and went down almost vertically.

Stairs that stretched into the depths of darkness, step by step, appeared at Anna's feet.

It became damp and cold.

Only the torch in his hand emitted a faint light, illuminating a small area.

Anna walked for more than an hour, and the steps under her feet continued to descend.

She stopped, a little impatient.

"I can't afford to delay when this goes."

With that, Anna pulled her backpack tight.

She leaped high and leaped straight into the darkness.

Behind her, a pair of flaming wings flapped with all their might, illuminating the entire dark abyss.

The hot air whirred and carried Anna down.

The wind whistled through the long hair and whistling away from the ears.

Anna could see the rocks, the steps, and the fleeing bats along the way.

She avoided these obstacles without slowing down in the slightest.

Such a flight speed is dozens of times faster than walking steps.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Anna arrives at the depths of the abyss.

It was dark and silent.

The torches were about to go out.

Anna held it up so she could see her surroundings.

A black gate appears at the end of the tunnel.

The door was so huge that Anna looked up to see a phrase etched into the metal on the top of the door.

"Death sleeps here, and the dead can be seen."

Anna looked at this sentence and was distracted for a moment.

Historically, there have been some extremely powerful heroes who have discovered some clues and discovered the secrets of the Medici family.

They sneaked here alone.

But whoever comes to this gate dies immediately.

Every strong man has fallen into an eternal sleep.

Only the Medici family can safely enter the temple.

Despite this, the Medici family has never succeeded in awakening the Grim Reaper throughout the ages.

How many extremely clever clansmen tried their best to finally put their minds on the sentence at the door.

They were in front of the high platform of God, trying to awaken the sleeping gods by committing suicide.

It still didn't work.

Anna wouldn't do that.

Holding the substitution contract, she cleared her throat and spoke solemnly to the black metal door.

"I, the Contractor of Death and the new master of the Medici family, Anna Medici requests to enter the Temple!"

The substitute contract seemed to sense something, and suddenly became extremely cold.

Boom Boom –

The black metal door opens.

As soon as Anna walked in, the door closed quickly.

It was dark all around.

A suffocating silence enveloped the place.

This is the temple of the sleeping Grim Reaper.

Anna held out a finger.

"Smack"!

A small flame erupted from her fingers, illuminating her beautiful face.

Anna flicked her fingers.

The flames flew into the air and exploded into a raging fire.

The light of the fire, illuminating the entire temple.

Anna looked around.

Although she had known about it through her family's records, Anna couldn't help but be a little shocked.

There are 10 humanoid stone carvings as high as a ten-story building, and there are 12 in total.

Twelve humanoid stone sculptures hold dark scythes, symbolizing the power to drive away evil spirits, slay evil spirits, and protect all beings.

The head of the humanoid stone sculpture wears a thin dog head mask, which represents the devouring of the unclean body of the deceased and purifying the soul.

The crow and the dog god are the servants of death, the gods who spread sleep and death.

These statues are none other than the Death Dog God.

Twelve humanoid stone carvings stand on the left and right, surrounding the high platform in the center of the temple.

It was a lonely platform, somewhat like a lighthouse, but there were no steps to go up.

This is a typical Dead Holysan building.

Every church of the Holy Religion, in which only the place where God descends, can be built in this way.

This is the Altar of Death.

No believer is allowed to climb the high platform, because it is the high position of God and cannot be violated by mortals.

This is stated in the family literature.

The Grim Reaper's Sleeping Treasure Box is on the Advent Table.

If someone succeeds in awakening the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper will appear on the platform, open the Sleeping Treasure Box, and bestow an incomparably precious treasure.

Anna walked under the high platform.

She looked down.

There were deep scratches, charred gray, black stains of old blood on the ground.

Even in the corners, there are a few dry bones.

These are the efforts of the inheritors of the Medici family to beg for death to come.

Anna looked up and looked up.

The advent platform is directly held up in the air by a cylindrical stone body, and there are no steps to go up.

This symbolizes the separation of God from the mortal world.

For thousands of years, the high platform has been silent, and no miracle has ever been produced.

Anna came to the high platform and made a prayer gesture with her hands.

The ceremony began.

Anna took a deep breath and read the Inheritance Mantra aloud.

"Judge of good and evil."

"A guide to the soul."

"A hermit who keeps the secret of death."

"The god of sleep and death."

"I, a descendant of the Medici family, stand here and ask to meet you."
