Chapter 645: The Castle (Thanks to the Book Friend Silver Moon Demon Boy for the Reward)

"I've investigated a lot of rumors about this wormhole, and I've collected a lot of information, but that's all there is to it, all of them are rumors, and they never come true, so I don't know where they come from." Randolph said very frankly.

Ling Xiao stared at this strange stone door, and then said: "But it may be related to the Kree, after all, in the Inhuman race, it was created by the Kree people, and according to Skye, this stone door, no, the thing behind this stone door, has the ability to destroy the Inhuman race." ”

Everyone nodded approvingly, since this stone door is so closely related to the Inhumans, then it is very likely to be related to the Cree, this is a very reasonable speculation, Barbara followed and said: "In addition, there is another piece of parchment that was found at the same time. ”

As she spoke, she handed Professor Randolph the parchment that Fitz had brought back from Morocco from behind, and Randolph immediately raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, that's rare, I've seen this thing before." ”

Ling Xiao poked his head out from behind, glanced at it, and said, "This seems to be a very common Hebrew word. ”

"That's right." Randolph nodded, then looked at Fitz and asked, "So what else do we know, Mr. Fitz?" ”

After Simmons was taken away, Fitz dug deep into the history of the monolith, saying: "The monolith changed hands several times, first in the Germanic tribes, and then to France during the Hundred Years' War, but before the Napoleonic era, he was transferred again, and it was ...... before the trail was broken."

"England?" Randolph looked up, as if to interrupt Fitz with certainty.

Fitz raised his eyes and asked in surprise, "yes, how do you know?" ”

"Because I saw it engraved on the wall of a castle in Gloucestershire, England, in 1853." Randolph's tone was very affirmative, and after he finished speaking, he even walked outside a little impatiently, and at the same time said, "Let's go, let's go over now!" ”

Coulson shrugged his shoulders and was the first to step out, Barbara and Fitz hurriedly followed, Ling Xiao was the last to leave the restricted area, he took a deep look at the strange stone door, and then turned around and left, and in the next moment, the strange stone door turned into black liquid again!

Although he set off immediately, Ling Xiao still made some more preparations, drinking water, food, and some necessary equipment. After all, this time it is likely to directly enter an alien planet, and as well as he can prepare, Ling Xiao is very cautious in these things.

Gloucestershire is located in the southwest of England, northeast of the Severn estuary, and is a county dominated by agriculture, forestry and livestock.

Outside an ancient castle far away from the city, the S.H.I.E.L.D. butterfly plane slowly landed, Ling Xiao took the lead and stepped off the plane, his eyes flashed slightly, the power of divine consciousness had swept all over a radius of several miles, and then Ling Xiao's gaze was slightly solemn, because there was an area inside the ancient castle that his spiritual sense could not penetrate, it was obvious that there was some kind of secret hidden here, they had come to the right place.

This is a ruined castle, which has been abandoned for about tens to hundreds of years, and the vines and grass on the periphery of the castle have spread into the castle along the cracks.

"There's no one here!" Ling Xiao nodded at the others, and then stepped into the castle first, and the others hurriedly followed.

I have to say that following a powerful Avenger is always a lot more reassuring, following Ling Xiao's back, Coulson, Barbara, and Fitz are not nervous, and Professor Randolph, this guy's escape is very fast and skilled, Ling Xiao has seen it once.

Entering the inner courtyard of the castle through the gate, the desolation immediately came to the face, the ground was full of weeds, I don't know how many years had not been cleaned, and even the hall of the castle was covered with yellow broken leaves.

"yes, yes, I'm here for a masquerade." After entering the hall, the sense of familiarity came to his face, for a person who has lived for thousands of years, the memory of the last one or two hundred years is not difficult to find, Randolph said with great certainty: "But that masquerade is just a cover-up, I heard the rumors of interstellar travel, and later found out that it was all nonsense, but the ball is still quite good." ”

After entering the hall, Ling Xiao was carefully observing, while Professor Randolph was full of emotion and nostalgia, Coulson couldn't help but remind: "What about the lettering?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's right." Professor Randolph immediately woke up from his memory, glanced at the large hall, walked to the west side of the hall, and said in a deep voice, "I was admiring the fine masonry here, and then ......"

As he spoke, Professor Randolph turned and pointed his flashlight at a height of two meters behind him, and on a stone brick was clearly engraved in Hebrew - death.

Fitz looked at the carvings on the stone bricks, and said with a somewhat dull gaze: "It's indeed the same as the scroll, death." ”

"That's right." Randolph nodded and continued, "It has an additional translation - Death Punishment. ”

"It may also mean that you must not trespass!" Ling Xiao tilted his head sideways and said: "In some ancient tombs in the Huaxia region, there are also carvings with similar general meanings, warning people not to trespass, because there are many extremely dangerous mechanisms in them, many of which are still powerful after hundreds of years or even thousands of years. ”

"That's true, but don't you think it's strange?" Randolph tapped the inscription on it and said, "The Hebrew warning is engraved in English castles, and if it is said to be an ancient monument, it is a little too inappropriate." ”

Barbara frowned and asked in a deep voice, "So, you didn't continue to dig deeper. ”

Randolph nodded, reminiscing, "There was a man dressed as an owl, whom I got drunk, and he admitted that there had never been a trip through the stars, and that it was just ritual killings. I felt like it sounded like a half-baked demon cult and a little trick to trick the new members into joining, and then the fire dancers started to perform, and I was distracted. ”

There wasn't much value in Randolph's words, and Coulson and the others listened as they searched the inside of the castle.

Ling Xiao looked at Randolph and asked, "So, what kind of ritual killing has you never seen?" ”

"Hmm!" Randolph nodded, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Yes, because it is a ritual killing, in fact, the objects to be selected are actually selected in advance, as for how to proceed next, because it is determined that it has nothing to do with interstellar travel, I did not participate in it." If everything here is really related to the stone door, the content of their rituals can be imagined. ”

That's right, in this case, it should be the masters here who have mastered the way to open space tunnels on a regular basis, and then banish the chosen ones into another planet, exile and die, and now all they need to do is find the method they use.

"There's another one here!" Coulson found the Hebrew text also engraved with "death" under the east wall, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's why I took down the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the car, it's so eye-catching!" ”

Coulson did this in order not to reveal his identity easily, but Barbara couldn't help but remind: "But you must know that there is a large eagle emblem on the top of our plane!" ”

"I know, I just can't help but get shucky sometimes." After saying that, Coulson pressed a brick that was obviously different from the color of other stone bricks, and the next moment, with a "creaking" sound, a stone door that should have not been opened for decades slid to one side.

Looking at the deep passage and the scattered dust, Randolph couldn't help but remind: "Are you sure you want to do this, there is a death punishment written here?" ”

However, as soon as Randolph's words fell, Coulson and Ling Xiao hadn't said anything, Fitz had already taken the lead in walking in, Coulson shrugged his shoulders and followed indifferently, Randolph looked at Ling Xiao and said, "I'm following you." ”

Ling Xiao smiled softly and walked in after Coulson, followed by Barbara and finally Randolph himself.

This guy's greed for life and fear of death has almost become instinct, he has lived for more than 2,000 years, and he has never seen anything, and he is still like this, which is really speechless.
