Chapter 212: Ancient Miracles
readx;? To everyone's surprise, a dagger was inserted in the left chest of the corpse, and the blade of the dagger went through the gap between the ribs and went straight to the heart. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Obviously, the reason why the skin color of the corpse is so pale is because the deceased has already drained the blood in the body by piercing the heart before his death.
At the signal of the historian Freeman, the team members lifted up several other black-robed people kneeling on the ground, all of which were exactly the same in terms of skin, expression, and death. The same suicide, the same incorruptible flesh.
Looking around, in the entire square, there are at least five or six hundred black-robed people who are prostrate on the ground, if everyone is like this, then there was a large-scale collective suicide here back then, and this large-scale suicide is the same as the decisive battle between the black and white forces of the Holy See, which is a historical mystery and does not appear in any historical materials.
"The blood of five or six hundred people can be shed into a river. ”
Architecting the tragedy of hundreds of suicides, the historian Freeman couldn't help but sigh, but he was more puzzled.
Everyone looked at their feet, and the entire square was covered with a layer of black things, which seemed to be dried up and condensed from the blood shed by the suicide believers back then.
Thinking of this, the two girls couldn't help but stomp their feet and take a few steps back, but unless they retreated outside the square, they couldn't escape the area covered by the black object.
But what really happened, was it a collective sacrifice or a collective suicide at the end of the road, or was it something else that caused hundreds of people to die here willingly, without resistance or struggle, all in a posture of kneeling down to the altar?
The historian Freeman's mind is constantly scrolling with different possible images, but there are no credible results, because time is too far away, and the truth may always be hidden in the fog and cannot be revealed. But that's not the biggest puzzle.
"My biggest puzzle now is why there is not a single trace of decay in their flesh after hundreds of years. ”
The historian Freeman carefully touched the skin of the corpse with his fingers, and except for the smooth feeling of a shiny skin on the surface, the feeling under the skin was as hard as stone, which is why the body that was turned over still maintained its kneeling position.
No wonder Commander Hoynin felt strange and couldn't explain it, not to mention that he was a swordsman, even a knowledgeable historian like Freeman saw such a strange corpse for the first time, and in addition to being strange, he was actually more shocked and uneasy, how many secrets were hidden in it, and how many similar darkness and blood were buried in the ruins of history in the origin and development of the Holy See.
Freeman suddenly found himself digging through the dungeon and finding a Pandora's box, but if he opened it, no one knew if there would be a treasure inside, or if it was a demon.
"Leave these corpses alone, let's go to the altar and have a look, there may be a greater harvest there, and we should leave as soon as possible after the search, this place always gives me a sense of unease. ”
Seeing that Freeman seemed to be very interested in these disgusting corpses, Captain Hoyning was actually a little immersed in them, and not only reminded him, after all, these corpses were of no value to the Empire. However, although they do not seem to be in any danger at the moment, they still invisibly give people a sense of uneasiness and heavy psychological pressure.
"You're right, we don't care about that, let's go up to the altar first, there must be something important waiting for us to discover. ”
Freeman, a historian who was deep in thought, came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile when he saw a circle of people around him looking at him.
The bridge across the underground river is in front of the group of corpses, so to go to the altar, you must pass between these corpses, although you know that these corpses on the ground have been dead for hundreds of years, but really walking through the black and oppressive corpses, the heartbeat still can't help but accelerate, the two girls are even weaker legs, fortunately with Andre and Elvis on the side, they barely staggered forward.
Everyone crossed the narrow bridge over the underground river in turn, and in front of them was the lava river, which seemed to be without the barrier of the underground river, and the temperature around them suddenly rose a lot, and the already hot environment became almost scorched by human hair.
"I really don't understand, why should a good altar be built in such a ghost place?"
Elvis grumbled as he untied his robe and stuffed it into his backpack.
"There was no danger, we finally arrived. ”
The person who spoke was the historian Freeman, who was standing on the bank of the lava river, looking at the lava river that was churning with great heat not far below, and his inner feeling was boiling like magma.
This circular lava pool was formed almost entirely by nature, only to be restored by hand to make it more neat and polished. But even so, finding such a well-shaped circular lava pool in the belly of a mountain range and building a miraculous altar cannot but be admired for the civilization and wisdom that this continent once possessed.
A dozen paces away from them, on the other side of the lava river, was the final destination of their trip, where the central altar of the monument was located. The altar is made up of three large to small circular stone platforms, and the first stone platform is connected by a stone bridge, and the location of the crystal pillar is the smallest third stone platform above.
Although the lava river is magnificent, it is not the most shocking, because the most shocking thing is that it is not until they reach this position that everyone realizes that the central altar that stands like an island in the lava is simply a boulder suspended in the magma, and the so-called lava river is a magma lake at all, and it is only because they can't see the lava below the altar that they mistakenly think that it is a river. The reason why everyone was able to discover this was because the central altar in front of them was gently undulating and shaking as the lava in the lava river rolled.
"This must be a miracle of antiquity, and it is by no means something that modern continental civilization can do. ”
Freeman, the historian, stared straight at the altar in front of him and muttered to himself. Looking at this unimaginable and miraculous project, he finally determined that the statement about the ancient ruins in the ancient books was completely correct, because the project in front of him was far beyond the limit of what human beings could do at present, and the Holy See probably discovered this place by chance, and worshipped this miracle as a sacred object.
This is a real miracle, the crystallization of an ancient civilization that makes people look up to the mountains, and to be able to see all this here today, for a historian, Freeman actually has a feeling that he has no regrets even if he dies. ps: I recommend another new book "The Real Kepler 452b", Oriental Fantasy, please support it, I believe the new book will bring surprises to everyone![bookid=3604248,bookname="The Real Kepler 452b"]
