Chapter 1052 Protective Measures

"Heh, that's interesting......" Rosser whispered.

"What did you say?" Sean looked at her, "What's so interesting about that?"

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, mortal. Rosser's lips grinned, "Underground civilizations have left relics all over the continent, and Tachira has naturally studied them no less, and these symbols ......" she walked to the mottled pillars and brushed the dust off them, "They are not the words they use, and they have nothing to do with the magical characters that the Federation has formulated." Isn't it interesting enough to think about the history of the Four Kingdoms?"

Azima found that she couldn't understand it at all, and although the meaning of each word was unmistakable, it was connected to not knowing what was being said. To her comfort, Mar, who came from a noble family, and Naf, the local guide, were also confused, and they were no better than her.

Sean looked thoughtful.

"I've heard Your Majesty say that the Four Kingdoms used to have only scattered villages and small towns, which were regarded as the corners of the continent, and the so-called history was no history. If this relic wasn't left over from a civilization in the War of the Divine Will, then it meansβ€”"

At this he froze.

"In the past, this place was inhabited by alien races that we don't know about?"

"It is not yet possible to draw conclusions about this," Rotherer said with interest, "and it is unknown whether the underground civilizations will divide into tribes and create different languages. Only by going in and having a look can you get more information. ”

"Lord Sean, there seems to be a stone tablet here," suddenly shouted the soldier who was inspecting the stone door, "and it seems to have our words written on it." ”

The group immediately gathered around.

I saw a piece of granite lying across the weeds, covered with moss, only one side had been polished, and it was difficult to find its existence without careful search. It took a while for the soldiers to clean it out, and the handwriting marks were visible to everyone.

"The land cursed by the gods, do not enter, you will die. 」

After reading the warning above, Naf couldn't help but take a cool breath.

"Difficult, is this what it is...... The legendary Curse, the Temple of the Damned?" He took two steps back and stammered.

Sean and the Witch of Punishment looked at each other, "Do you know where it came from?"

"I've only heard from others, and that was more than a hundred years ago......" Naf stared at the swarthy hole and swallowed, "Didn't the local lord send people to set many traps in order to prevent the wolfhearts from crossing the cage mountain? Legend has it that a team led by a knight encountered a mountain rain during a mission, which came and went quickly, and when it fell overwhelmingly, it could blind people, so the knight ordered to find a place to shelter from the rain, and happened to find a strange temple. ”

"Oh?" Rosser raised an eyebrow, "Did they still find the treasure inside after they went in, and the villagers were driven by greed to smuggle the treasure out, but they were cursed by the gods and died tragically one by one?"

"Y-You've heard of it, too?" said Naf, surprised.

"Poof," Rosser laughed, "mortals really don't make much progress, they played this game hundreds of years ago, and it still works." I'm willing to bet this rumor was made by the editor-in-chief - to make a windfall in the ruins. As for the poor insects, they were just taken as evidence of the curse, and they were killed one by one. ”

"Yes...... They didn't die right away. ”

"What?" Rosser frowned.

The guide shrunk his neck and cautiously replied, "It took almost ten years for them to die one after another, and the knight was no exception - according to legend, they were in great pain when they left, and even the skin on their faces fell off, revealing pieces of rotting flesh and blood, which was not hideous, and this is the source of the curse." In order to prevent bad luck from spreading in the territory, the lord ordered that no one should approach the area, so no one knows its exact location now. ”

"Are you sure?" Rosser walked over to Naf and put his arm on his shoulder.

Looking at the arm that was thicker than his thigh, the guide's face turned a little pale, "I heard it all from the tavern, I promise that I am not lying! My lord, if you don't believe it, you can ask other people, if there is a problem, then it must be the rumor itself that is wrong!"

If it took so long to die, it would be untenable, Aqima thought, and if it was common for knights and lords to conspire to frame the villagers, it would be another matter to kill the knights as wellβ€”the latter was a nobleman, and no matter how young his family was, he could not be executed at will without trial.

Could it be ...... Is this really a curse of the gods?

"Uh, or ...... Shall we go back to town and wait for more information before we do anything further?" suggested Mar Tokate, the liaison envoy.

"What's next?" Nave looked at Sean in disbelief, "Could it be that you came for the Temple of the Damned in the first place?"

"Not really, but just together," Rosher let go of Naf, "how is it? I suppose as Your Majesty's trusted bodyguard, you won't escape, right?"

"Of course," Sean replied calmly, "Fulfilling His Majesty's entrustment comes first, and now that the goal is in sight, there is naturally no reason to turn back." ”

"Very well, then we'll go in and meet the so-called "gods" for a while," Rosser smiled sinisterly.

"But you can't just go in unsuspecting," Sean shook his head, "In fact, Your Majesty has also mentioned that you may encounter danger when approaching the source. ”

"He even foresaw this?"

"That's right," Sean turned to Azima and said, "After you left that night, His Majesty explained something to me alone, and he said that we may encounter two situations, one is that the source is exposed to the surface, in that case we don't have to do anything, just go back to Wudong after sealing off the scene." The other is that the source is located in an underground mine – the deeper the cave, the more likely it is to be dangerous. Therefore, if you encounter the second situation, you need to take precautions in advance. Although it is not a mine, it has all the characteristics of a mine. ”

With that, he snapped his fingers at the soldier, "Bring the stuff." ”

The two quickly unloaded their bags and pulled out five snow-white coats.

Rosser crouched down and spread it out curiously, "It's just an ordinary leather coat." ”

"Not if you wear a mask. Sean picked up a piece of clothing and slipped himself into itβ€”a word that Aqima found could only be described as such, with the leather coat connected from top to bottom, without even a button. It is not so much a dress as a human-shaped pocket, and when it is covered, only one face is exposed, and the hands and feet are wrapped in it, which can be described as very strange.

He then fills in the last gap with a transparent mask that holds a fist-sized tin can in front of the mask that looks like a pig's nose.

"Five people go in, and the others stay outside," Sean said angrily, "Is there anyone else you want to come besides Miss Azima and Miss Rosser?"
