Chapter 66: The Temple of the Cultivators

The Valley of Silence, as his name suggests, makes no sound except for the streak of green. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Aragorn and Ike were very careful when they stepped into this area, and although the Tombblade Eagle team had searched for it, the fate of the mercenary group had always been like a haze in their hearts.

Streaming down!

It was also at this time that there was a slight rustling in the silent valley.

An imperceptible glint flashed in Ike's eyes as he waved at Aragorn.

Aragorn clenched his shield and took a slight step toward the place.

Sou!

"Who!" Ike shouted, a pale blue elemental condensation in front of him.

"Me. After a while, a cold voice exploded, and in front of a mass of grass stood a tall figure, with long blond hair falling down like a waterfall.

"Love... Ellie?" Ike stammered, and the condensed elements in front of him dissipated.

Aragon exhaled and looked at Ike with a smile on his face, the strangeness in his eyes obvious.

"You, gone again. ”

There is no coquettishness that belongs to a little girl of her age, and some are just cold, which makes people frightened.

"This is a task, a task assigned by the Academy. Ike rubbed his head, looking bewildered, beads of sweat sliding down his forehead.

Why do you feel so embarrassed? Like a kitten being caught stealing a kitten?

"You're going to teach me what emotions are!" Ellie walked up to Ike, blinking at her big clear eyes.

"Teach feelings?" Aragorn's eyes widened, and his gaze at Ike became extremely ambiguous, and his heart was even more slanderous. "Ike, Ike, I didn't expect you to be such a sullen guy, I didn't see it, you have a good hand. ”

"I..." Ike also had nothing to say.

"Okay, you two, business matters, not to mention that this place is so weird, and we don't know what awaits us in front of us. Fortunately, Aragorn's voice broke the atmosphere, and it also made Ike secretly relieved in his heart.

Ahhh

At the same time, the temple of the Cultivators, located in the middle of the valley, let out a strange roar.

"There's a situation!" Ike and Aragorn looked at each other, their faces solemn. Sure enough, this time the investigation was not simple.

"Let's go!" Aragorn, a shield warrior, took the lead, his heavy footsteps leaving marks on the wet earth.

Ike didn't care much at this time, and took Ellie's weak, boneless little hand and followed closely behind Aragorn.

Feeling the warmth coming from the palm of her hand, the corners of Ellie's mouth couldn't help but rise, and the system rang out inopportunely.

"Host mood fluctuations detected, numerical recording. ”

The three of them shuttled through the valley, and after about a moment they saw the silhouette in the mist.

It is a large building with a quaint appearance and a strange style, with many relief patterns that appear to be cluttered.

This strange feature was also characteristic of that era, and some antique experts even made special bids to collect precious objects from that era.

"Temple of the Cultivators. Aragorn muttered.

As they approached, the mist thinned out, and the building finally revealed itself in its full form.

In front of the building, on the broken avenue, there was a tall and broken statue, which looked like it was dedicated to the master of the temple, the cultivator.

Behind the statue there is a depleted fountain, overgrown with weeds. Further back is the entrance to the temple, a huge raised stone door with a relief in the shape of a sheep's bone skeleton in the center.

"The door is closed?" said Aragorn, as he approached the stone door, touching the rough surface.

The location of the sheep bone skeleton's eyes was very hollow, and a thin crack passed through the entire stone door.

"No, the people of the Tomb Blade Eagle have already come to search, and the stone door must have been opened at that time. Ike's heart tightened, and his eyelids jumped.

That sentence shows that someone has been here again. Aragorn looked up, and the silence around the building was terrifying.

"Go through the side door, be careful. "Ike had done his homework before he came, and he knew the terrain of the entire Cultivator's Temple well.

In fact, since this place was deserted, it has become a place for many mercenary groups to stay in the wild, and if it weren't for this incident, I'm afraid there would still be mercenaries here.

"Good. "Aragorn walked along the enclosure, surrounded by huge stone pillars with different patterns that seemed to describe an event.

"Threat analysis system on!"

Ellie gave the order, and invisible ripples swept through the walls and into the temple.

"Ding! No threat situation!"

"Ding! The energy fluctuates weirdly!"

Ellie absorbs the message transmitted by the system, and her brain is a little stuck, is this dangerous or not?

It's a pity that she doesn't understand what doubts are because of her lack of emotion, so she can only follow behind the two of them.

After a few moments, the three of them came to the side door, but fortunately the slightly narrow doorway did not close.

"I'm in front, Ike you're last. Aragorn leaned sideways, holding his large shield on his left against his face, and walked cautiously, surveying his surroundings from time to time.

Ike nodded, and led Ellie to the front and admonished.

"Ellie, there may be danger next, be careful. ”

Scold!

Ellie didn't say a word, two magic spears appeared in her hands, and she nodded with a cold face.

Entering through a side door, the trio stepped on a mossy masonry, and as far as the eye could see was a large platform, with a landslide leading to the bottom on the right side of the platform.

Standing on the edge of the platform, the front part of the temple can be viewed in its entirety.

In the huge temple, there are many high platforms, and landslides connect the buildings below, and at the front of the bottom is a poured iron door, covered with dark red rust.

Ike casually glanced around and found a mess of footprints on the ground. He wasn't surprised, it was inhabited by mercenaries all year round, and it would be weird if there were no footprints.

"Safe. Aragorn waved his hand, there was nothing worth looking at here.

"Ike?" After a long time, Aragorn didn't get the response he deserved, and slowly turned around.

In an instant, he saw a broken wooden cabinet, covered in dust, with thick cobwebs in the corners.

Aragorn opened his mouth slightly, only to realize that he was in a room, and the wooden bed with the mattress and the messy scraps of paper on the floor told him that some mercenaries had existed before.

"This... How is that possible?" Aragorn swallowed, wasn't he still on the platform just now, how did he enter the central area of the temple?

Judging from the recorded map, the entire temple of the monks is divided into four main sections.

The front platform area is a place of prayer for the faithful and the only entrance to the temple.

The central area is the normal residential area of the faithful and occupies nearly half of the temple.

The shrine is where the statues and the upper echelons of the temple are enshrined all year round, and the last chamber is used by the temple to punish the worshippers who have made mistakes.

Aragorn couldn't understand why he had come to the central part of the Monk's Temple the moment he turned around, but reality told him that he had been separated from Ike and the others.

·····

In the dark room, there was only the faint sound of water droplets, and there was no light, like a dark hell.

"Ellie?" said Ike softly.

"I'm here. Ellie's crisp moans drilled into Ike's ears.

Ike quickly calmed down, his fate was similar to that of Aragorn, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in this place. Fortunately, he was still holding Ellie's hand at the time, otherwise he would be alone at this time.

Syllable!

A beam of light suddenly lit up, causing Ike to close his eyes, who had become accustomed to the darkness.

After a while, Ike discovers that Ellie has a device that resembles a magic lamp on her arm.

"It's like a prison. Ellie said lightly, looking at the environment with the beam of light in her hand.

The room with walls on all sides had only a small iron door, but even the iron door did not have any window to communicate with the outside world.

"Almost, this is the confinement room. Ekna couldn't guess where he was, but the more he did, the more terrible he felt.

From the middle of the confinement room in the platform section, the central area and the shrine can be separated, and this means of transferring in the blink of an eye is simply more powerful than any door in space magic.

"I've been guarding against it, but I didn't expect that we fell into the trap long before we came in. Ike smiled bitterly, he was sure that there was a special spatial magic circle on that platform.

"I think we should get out first. Ellie pointed to the iron door, she was uncomfortable in this environment, or as Ike called annoying!

Since that day's exchange, Ike has often taken Ellie with him and told her a lot about human emotions, and this disgust is one of them.

Ike looked at the handleless iron door and touched his nose, "The confinement room seems to be locked from the outside. ”

"Easy!" Ellie threw down two words, her hands shaking, and there was a snapping sound.

Dada

Boom!

After the rapid magic missile, the iron door collapsed under Ike's gaze, brittle as a piece of paper.

The dull collision stirred up puffs of dust, and a place like this as a dark underground prison could be so likely to be liked by the mercenaries?

Da-da-da.

Ellie walked gracefully into the aisle outside, her eyes on Ike, "Why haven't you come out yet?"

"Oh, right away, right away. Ike came back to his senses, but he had to sigh at Ellie's violent methods, and at the same time muttered in his heart, "If anyone marries this girl in the future, they must not be crushed to death, and if they don't agree, they will be shot." ”

At the end of this sentence, Ike's face turned red for some reason, and Ellie's delicate little face came to mind.

"If you don't go, I'll go first. The sound of Ellie's boots echoing through the narrow passage.

"Wait for me, Ellie! it's dangerous here! We'd better be together!"

······

The Holy Mountain of Freil, the main church of the Holy See of Light.

In the glittering hall, starting from the spiral below, books are placed, and the huge elevator is constantly in operation, and hundreds of believers walk through this empty building, quietly immersed in the ocean of knowledge, listening to the teachings of the Lord God.

"His Holiness the Pope. ”

An old man in a white vestment appeared at the wooden-inlaid gate, with kind eyebrows and a long beard that almost touched the ground.

"Oh, Mike, how did you get to Tuleva today?" said an old man in plain clothes at a small wooden table, who raised his head slightly, and stood up, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Your Holiness the Pope, Jessica is gone. Mike Hua said bitterly, tugging at his beard.

"Really?" said the old man, flipping the pages of the book, his expression indifferent.

"Your Holiness the Pope, the Holy Maiden is gone!" Mike repeated again, he couldn't understand why the Pope was so calm, it was a Holy Maiden.

"Mike, don't worry, Jessica is just looking for someone, this girl can endure it so far, it's beyond my expectations. ”

"What?" Mike opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, it turned out that the Pope already knew.

"Hey, Mike, be still, read a book with me. Jessica has her own path to follow, she is the Holy Daughter of the Holy See of Light, the daughter of the God of Light, and a human being with emotions. ”

"Well—I knew she couldn't forget!" Mike sighed as he sat down slowly on the table.

"Isn't it good?" said the muse, as if remembering something, a gentle glow on his ruddy face.

"It's just the child's appearance..." Mike patted his head in annoyance, "If only I had arrived earlier, this tragedy wouldn't have happened." ”

"Mike, all good is hidden in ugliness, and all ugly things are not necessarily without truth, goodness and beauty. Everyone in the world thinks about beauty and ugliness, but they don't know that people's hearts are different, and it is difficult to guess! I think this is the meaning of the existence of the God of Light, to persuade people to be good and find the true light. ”

"His Holiness the Pope is right, but the future of these two children is destined to be troublesome. Mike pulled out a book and chuckled.

"But I think they'll be happy to take it. Humus shook his head, and quietly read the book again.

The sound of turning pages wafts through Tulewa, the library of the Holy See of Light.
