Chapter 70: The Soul Stone

One horizontal and one mentioned, then the vertical hook.

The carvings on the small stones are clearly the side structure of the Hanzi, which means that there are people other than themselves who use Chinese characters here, but it is not excluded that there are other possibilities, such as some kind of symbol from this life.

"As long as there is a little hope, we have to see."

Luo Ning couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, got up and rushed out of the office, and returned to his house.

"You've got to take me somewhere."

Without telling the witch, Ronin grabbed Cheryl's hand and walked out of the house quickly, turned around and locked the door, anxiously urging.

"Hurry up."

Cheryl rubbed the wrist that had been hurt by the young man, looked puzzled, and looked around.

"You can't use witchcraft to fly here."

Only then did Ronin realize that it was still in the town, and the streets were full of pedestrians, and if he used witchcraft to fly here, the identity of the witch could be revealed.

The two quickly walked out of town and into a place where no one was around.

The witch silently recited the incantation, and a moment later the broom that brought the two back flew quickly, mounted the broom, and Ronin pointed in the direction of Red Crow.

"That's it."

Riding on the broomstick, Ronin's mood has never been so excited, once he confirmed that one ear found a stone engraved with Chinese characters, it means that someone else has indeed been here besides himself.

Twenty minutes later, it passed over the town of Crows, which was now deserted, and there were parrots on the house of the Parrot Flying Courier Company in addition to the fluttering flags.

"To the west, about fifteen kilometers, stop when you see a big rock."

Ronin pointed to the West and gave orders, and the witch did as she was told.

Flying west, it was a flat field, and after about ten minutes, he saw the boulder erected on the flat ground, and motioned for the witch to land next to the boulder.

Ronin kindly reminded the witch.

"You'd better avoid it, and the last thing you want to see will come later."

The witch frowned, turned around and walked about thirty meters away, and after making sure that the witch would not be startled by the appearance of one ear, Ronin opened her mouth and called for one.

About five minutes later, one ear lay down against the boulder.

"Chief, you're here, thank you for telling those guys about my deeds, I have a secret discovery that has been told to the rest of my companions for a long time, and I think you should be interested."

Signaling one ear to lead the way, Luo Ning followed, turned to the other side of the boulder with a diameter of about twenty meters, and a hole appeared.

The entrance to the cave is only ten centimeters in size, and one ear can easily get in, but there is no way for people to get in, Luo Ning frowned.

One ear was lying on his stomach at the mouth of the cave to explain.

"It's very wide down there, and I've seen it from below, there's a stone slab here, and you just need to dig up the dirt in the ground to push the slab in."

Luo Ning swept away the dust on it with his hands, dug for about five or six meters, and immediately touched the surface of the slate, found the edge of the slate and removed the soil.

The size of the slate was just enough for one person to go down, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out and lifted the slate, and a bunch of yin-loving insects crawled around, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Beneath the stone slab is a pitch-black passage with simple wooden steps that have been made.

Stretching out a foot and stepping on it, the damp and rotten wooden board immediately broke, and he withdrew his foot, got up and took out a bottle of spiritual potion and poured it into his mouth.

There will be no danger in this kind of place, so take psychotropic drugs to insure a little.

Then he took out the pistol and loaded it, and asked for one ear that was still on the side.

"How deep."

"About four or five meters."

The depth of four or five meters is not too deep, Luo Ning jumped into the hole, and after landing, his feet were soft, and when he saw the light from the hole, it was soft soil.

But now there is only a small amount of light at the entrance of the cave, and the cave is even darker than the sewer, without any light, even if the psychotropic potion has improved his eyesight to a certain extent, it is difficult to see anything.

One ear crawled to the bottom of the hole.

"There's nothing here, just follow me."

One ear crawled in front of him, making a squeaking sound, and Ronin followed closely behind the sound of one ear.

Soon came to the end of the tunnel.

"Right here." The sound of one ear came from the darkness, and a moment later a faint light lit up in the cave.

Looking at the light, a stone about 30 centimeters wide and about 50 centimeters high stood on the ground, one ear was lying on top of the stone, the light came from the surface of the stone, the stone did not emit light by itself, it should be some kind of magic from the light that loomed on the edge.

"This stone doesn't normally glow, but it lights up whenever it comes into contact with a living thing."

One ear circled over the stone, and the light from the stone became more and more bright, illuminating the cave almost as much as daytime, and the surrounding environment came into view.

There is a hole in the wall on the left, which will not be blocked due to the collapse, and the eyes return to this magical stone, and when you get close to the stone, the surface of the stone is obviously artificially polished, very flat, and unlike the surrounding moss-covered stone wall, this stone has no debris attached to it.

There are some trenches carved on the surface of the flat stone, and a small hole appears in the middle part, and the gravel brought by one ear is pressed into the small hole, and the two are in perfect agreement.

Looking at the carved trenches, Luo Ning stretched out his fingers to caress them, and his fingers trembled a little because he was too excited.

"My conjecture is not wrong, I really have my own predecessors who have been to this world." The ear trenches carved into the stone wall are the best proof of this.

Those depicted trenches are Chinese characters, from the Chinese characters of the previous life.

"Render to God what is God's, and Caesar's to Caesar what's to be Caesar's." There are twelve words in total, and there is nothing more exciting than seeing the words of the previous life here.

There was the sound of landing in his ears, then the sound of footsteps, and his heart made a beating sound of "bang", Luo Ning immediately became vigilant and looked back at the passage where he came, the passage was slightly illuminated by the light from the stone tablet, and the muzzle of the pistol was aimed at the entrance.

A moment later, seeing the figure, Ronin let his guard down, it was the witch Cheryl.

Cheryl stood at the entrance of the cave and watched the situation inside, hesitated for a moment, and then quickened her pace, staring at the glowing stone tablet with a look of shock and a little fear.

Fear clearly comes from one ear.

Luo Ning smiled helplessly.

"There are rats here, you don't have to come with them, I'll tell you what's going on here."

The witch timidly looked at the rat lying on the stone tablet, her nose made a "hum" sound, and her tone was mocking.

"Judging by the series of things that have happened before, if I don't come along, you may not tell me the truth about what happened here."

"So to keep me from lying, you can even tolerate the fear of rats now." Ronin shrugged his shoulders and mocked inwardly.

"Let it go." The witch pointed to one ear.

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment, walked to the stone tablet, reached out and stroked one ear, plucked a hair and handed it over.

"You have done a great job, and you can tell your companions about your heroic deeds, and I will prove it to you once again, and if necessary, I will issue you a medal in recognition of your deeds."

One ear left satisfied.

After the mouse left, the witch Cheryl stepped forward and stroked the glowing stone tablet, crouching down to read the words on it.

"A special symbol, this is the Soul Stone."

"Soul Stone?" Luo Ning asked subconsciously. "What's that?"

Cheryl observed the words on the surface of the stele, and after a moment, tilted her head and glanced at the young man.

"It stands to reason that as a member of the Order Church, you should know more about the Soul Stone, but given that you have a special amnesia and act like an idiot, I don't mind explaining it to you, and you have to apologize for leaving me here alone."

Luo Ning didn't expect the witch to even care about this kind of thing, in line with the ancestral teaching of "good men don't fight women", he showed an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you on it, and if you don't feel comfortable with it, I sincerely apologize to you, my lady."

A crimson appeared on Cheryl's cold cheeks, and she stared at the young man for a moment, turning her head back to look at the glowing stone.

"The Soul Stone is the magic of an old power system that belongs to the astrologer school."

"The ...... of the School of Astrologers" Luo Ning pondered the contents of "The Origin, Belief and Development of Religious and Magical Organizations, and the Study of Relations", which recorded detailed information about the organization of the School of Astrologers.

The symbol of the Astrologer School organization is a North Star, and the god they believe in is the "Cursed God" Panson, and the relationship is indeed friendly with the Order Church in terms of relationship, and there was even a period of time when the followers of the two organizations shared it, but later in the Third Age, the leader of the organization changed, and they separated again.

Returning to the god witch has already begun to continue to explain.

"The Soul Stone can seal some things in this stone, and it will not be affected by the passage of time, so that the things in the seal will always remain in the state of the moment they are sealed, which is not a profound magic."

"So what's sealed inside this Soul Stone? Could it be that the senior who came to this world before himself sealed something about him, or ...... Seal the way out of this world. ”

Luo Ning thought to himself, and circled around the Soul Stone and returned to the same place, asking curiously.

"How can I open the Soul Stone and get the sealing items inside?"

The witch also looked around the Soul Stone and returned to her original position.

"The most amazing part of this magic is that the spell to unlock the Soul Stone can be written by the spellcaster, and it is written on the surface of the Soul Stone, as long as you read the content engraved on it correctly with a religious heart, you can open the Soul Stone."

There was a pause.

"But I've never seen the symbols on it, and I don't know how to pronounce them." She stroked the words with her hand, a little lost.

"Hehe, that's just up to me."

Luo Ning secretly snickered, silently walked to the Soul Stone, and stretched out his hand to pull the Soul Stone out of the soil on the ground, the weight of the Soul Stone was not very heavy, it should have been deliberately selected a stone with a lighter material.

"Let's take it back and study it slowly, and if you don't recognize the symbols on it, it doesn't mean that others don't know it."

Returning to the ground with the Soul Stone, he returned to Crow Town half an hour later, and placed the Soul Stone in the office, originally planning to recite the spell after the witch left, but the witch is now like a fart and never leaves.

Looks like we'll have to wait until the evening.

But the witch's next words made him despair.

"I'll keep an eye on you until I see what's inside the Soul Stone until I see what's inside." Cheryl stood with her arms folded over her chest and talked eloquently. "Don't try to hide from me and find out the secrets inside."
