Through the remote scanning of the terminal, Hao Ren found that the bottom of the maelstrom was a hole that went straight to the ground, which was most likely related to the previous wrecked spaceship. He suspected that the ship had damaged the geological structure when it "crashed" to the bottom of the lake, but the ship itself had just plugged the hole that it had knocked itself out, so nothing had happened, but after the little green men dragged the ship out, the fragile structure began to crumble.

It's just that the crack didn't occur on the spot, there should still be a thin layer of rock shell barely supporting it at that time, Hao Ren remembered the lake cavity left after the spaceship was teleported away, and at that moment, I don't know how many tons of lake water smashed on the bottom of the lake with hundreds of meters of water pressure, I'm afraid this is the last straw for the collapse of the loophole.

The crust held out for more than a day after that, and now it finally collapsed.

This is the inference made based on the scans sent back by the number of terminals, and both Hao Ren and Vivien feel that this guess has at least eighty percent credibility.

"This pot must be carried," Hao Ren sighed, "Fortunately, no one died, otherwise I would have been under more pressure." Don't let Obra know about this. ”

Vivian knew that Hao Ren was a very principled person in this regard, and he had a strong sense of responsibility, so he must be quite self-reproachful at this time, so he comforted him: "Don't take it all on yourself, the geological structure should have been destroyed when the spaceship crashed, even if we don't do anything, I'm afraid the maelstrom will appear sooner or later." It's a matter of time or time, you can't just leave that spaceship alone, right? At most, we were a little negligent, and it would have been nice to be cautious and let the number of terminals do exploration. ”

Hao Ren nodded, and looked at Lily who was running around the camp to make friends with werewolves: "I really envy that girl's heart." ”

"Does she have a heart?"

"It's because of the lack of heart and eyes that I envy ......"

By the time the husky had been running two or three laps around the camp. After finding a group of werewolf friends, Gerton and his Church Knights finally arrived too late—and not too late. It can even be said that it is super fast, he and his men set off earlier than Obla. And the knights also had the skill of speeding up in magic, and it took them more than an hour to complete the distance that ordinary cavalry would have to run for almost a whole day. It's just that Ophra's marshal charge was really unreasonable, so he left behind the knights of the church who had set off one step earlier.

Gerton saw that the Knights of the Kingdom had arrived in advance, but there was no surprise on his old face, as if he had guessed that the resolute marshal would decisively throw aside the rules of the Holy See in this case, but a few ordinary bishops frowned frequently when they saw the knights of the Kingdom who were moving faster than them, but these people would not say much in front of the marshal and the recess.

Becky's eyes were sharp, and at a glance she saw that the four dervishes were also surrounded by church knights, and she immediately waved her hand happily to greet them. The bearded man raised his head with a feeling and greeted Hao Ren and his party with a smile.

Gerton quickly found the person in charge of the scene to confirm the situation of the maelstrom of the blood lake, and when he heard that the entire church had sunk to the bottom of the lake, he coughed violently, and his already old and rickety body trembled violently under a cough, as if he was ready to be summoned by the goddess at any time: "The whole sanctuary has sunk?!" ”

"Yes." The tall, thin priest from before had a heavy expression.

Gerton's wrinkled face flushed with blood: "Where's the holy coffin?!" ”

"The holy coffin is sealed in the underground of the Zài Church, integrated with the magic array, and it usually takes at least a quarter of an hour to open, and the situation at that time is urgent, it is really ......" The tall and thin priest felt guilty on his face. …… Diocese Gerton, we have failed the Goddess and have not had time to transfer the Holy Coffin, which has sunk into the whirlpool with the church. ”

Gerton snapped in his throat. Hao Ren thought that this old man was going to report to the goddess on the spot, but he didn't expect him to catch his breath and recover: "...... The goddess has mercy, and today's great changes must be a test for God. This kind of great event cannot be reversed by the human power of one or two people, and the Goddess will forgive you...... It's just that the holy coffin must be recovered! If necessary, you can even go inside the whirlpool to find it! Mage troops. Prepare to follow me to the maelstrom! ”

As he spoke, the old man turned his head to look at Oprah: "Your Excellency Marshal." I had a lot of disputes with you before, please forgive me, that's my responsibility. Today I hope that Your Excellency the Marshal will face this matter with me, and in the name of the glory of the Kingdom and the Goddess, we must recover the Holy Coffin! ”

"I thought you'd have to continue to be stubborn a little bit at this point," Opra smiled, pointing up at her own knights, "don't worry, I'm here with these good hands to deal with any trouble." ”

Lily jumped up behind her, "And we, and us—we're good too!" ”

Gerton glanced at Hao Ren and them unexpectedly, just now he was curious about how these mercenaries were also on the scene to join in the fun, and now he couldn't help but ask, Lily immediately said with a straight face: "Because we have the heart to serve the country and the heart of piety by the way, if you don't believe me, I will make up another ......"

Hao Ren reached out and dragged Lily back: Needless to say, the second half of the sentence!

Betsy shrank back with a bitter face: "Actually, I want to say...... Am I not going to do it? ”

This is a mercenary with a normal style of painting - it's a pity that she got on Hao Ren's thief ship, and she still had to be forced to do justice after she was done.

"The fact that you can escort the orb back is enough to prove that you are sincere and reliable," Gerton silently looked at the strange mercenaries in front of him and nodded slightly, "This is a dangerous matter, but if you can prove that you are blessed by God and return safely, the church will reward you greatly." ”

Although the old man is pious and almost pedantic, he is not unreasonable, and ordinary people still know the seven emotions and six desires of human feelings, so he said it casually.

Becky's righteousness, Ling Ran, suddenly felt his true feelings......

This time, Nangong May was not around, but the people brought by Gerton and Opra had experts who were good at water magic, and everyone prepared a little before setting off for the Blood Lake.

Gerton and Ovra led the group, accompanied by more than a dozen magicians from the Kingdom Knights and the Church, and Hao Ren and the bearded four followed at the back of the group. This was the first time Hao Ren had met the bearded man since he said goodbye yesterday, and he deliberately walked at the back and whispered to the other party about the situation: "What is that holy coffin?" ”

The bearded man glanced at Hao Ren silently, as if he was a little hesitant, but in the end, probably considering Hao Ren's special background, he still spoke with confidence, and at the same time set up a magical barrier around him to isolate sound before speaking: "It is a holy relic located under the church in the middle of the lake." ”

"Holy relics? What is it for? ”

"The oldest of sacred creatures," the bearded man grimaced, "the sacred coffin contains the Goddess's original creation of the Ancestors of Life, who she scattered throughout the world to monitor the balance of the entire world and as a kind of final 'insurance', so that when the world suffers a great change, these Ancestors of Life will be able to maintain the balance and even repeat life." There are three holy coffins, all of which are currently in the Kingdom of Holletta, and the diocese of Beinz is one of them. ”

Hao Ren blinked his eyes and thought about it, and after comparing it with the legends he knew, he asked some questions: "What about the ancient civilization period?" If the ancestor of life was made by a goddess, then there should have been a holy coffin in the ancient civilization, right? ”

"No, the ancestor in the holy coffin was made by the goddess, but the holy coffin itself is a container made by His Majesty the first pope of the church," the bearded man whispered, these are not too critical secrets, basically as long as the official members of the church can access them, "The ancestor of life is not a creature or a corpse, but a strange substance containing the power of God, these substances have been lurking deep underground in ancient civilizations, when those evil magic emperors wantonly disrupted the balance of living beings in this world, So much so that after the goddess perished, these ancestors of life returned to the surface from the ancient crypt. They received the Goddess's decree to protect the few innocent people in the aftermath of the apocalypse and reshape many species, before returning to several sacred caverns deep underground. Thousands of years later, His Majesty the first pope of the Church received a divine decree to create a holy coffin to replace the original seals deep underground, and to enshrine the Ancestor of Life in several sanctuaries sheltered by the power of the goddess, and the divine blood he took from the sacred cavern at that time became the source of the divine magic in the future. ”

After speaking, the bearded man paused for a moment before looking into Hao Ren's eyes and said, "There is another thing I should confess to you: what we are going to now is the Sacred Cave!" ”

Hao Ren's eyes narrowed suddenly. (To be continued......)
