The mages asked a camel to be at the front of the caravan and explore the way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

They believed Magellan's speculation, but they did not believe that there must be no quicksand ahead.

According to Shamir's inference, the diversion now is tantamount to taking a shortcut, and it should be a long detour to the Moon Oasis and then to that church, but it is absolutely safe, so half of the road is diverted, not necessarily.

But they were lucky, and the death squad camel stayed alive.

Three days later, they saw the church in the mirage.

It was a narrow canyon between two huge sand dunes, and for some reason, the wind and sand were so kind that they spared it, and the church was on the cliff face of the canyon.

Hanging the rope from the airship, they descended to the bottom of the canyon.

The canyon is very deep, and there is always wind mixed with sand that blows non-stop, and when you stand down and look down, the church is magnificent.

The bottom of the canyon is all rocky, the doors of the church are open, and there is darkness inside.

Magellan stood in front of the gate, looking up at the lion statue above his head, and a trace of excitement flowed through his heart.

"This is the Eternal Fortress......"

The mages didn't seem to be very interested in the place, and while Magellan stood in front of the church and sighed, they surveyed the surroundings and finally decided not to set up camp under the canyon, but to stay on the airship.

It was just noon, there was no direct sunlight below the canyon, and it was pleasantly cool, so Magellan packed up and decided to enter the church.

Shamir felt that Magellan was in too much of a hurry, so he stopped the latter and told him to wait until the mages were ready before entering. The countess also agreed with the idea of the mage chief, so Magellan had to wait.

When Shamir told him that he was ready, Magellan felt that he had waited in vain.

A team of mages is ready to fight and is guaranteed victory against the "King of the Earth and Sky", while others bring a wide variety of tools to ensure that the church is safe to dive or lava.

In fact, these two things were enough, and Magellan felt that they would definitely be able to bring home the Holy Grail.

There was no sign of the Holy See's team anywhere, and conservatively speaking, at least they were one step ahead.

Magellan led the way, and they walked into the church.

The mages created a light source above the team, and as it followed Magellan's footsteps, illuminating the darkness in the church, exclamations rang out.

The scene inside this cathedral, as opposed to the magnificent gates outside, may not be dilapidated, but at least it can be a mess.

The entire church is diagonally and half submerged.

Stone furniture and gold and silver objects emerge from the water, revealing the glory of the past, but their reflection in the water only gives the impression of chaos.

"What the hell is going on here......"

It was supposed to be an open hall, with tall stone columns holding up the entire boulder on top, and in the middle of the hall were stone tables and chairs, covered with gold and silver utensils.

Perhaps there were knights who held banquets here, boasting of their martial arts with their glasses, and the pope sat on the throne to thank the gods for the holy grail.

But now, it's a dark, damp cave, and no one knows what's hidden in the darkness.

"Where are we going?"

The distant scene is hidden in darkness, with water on one side and stone ground that is slanted and impossible to walk on, and there is no place to stay.

Magellan thought for a moment and took out the goblin rope, and he asked the mages to control the light source and follow him, going to the front to see the situation first.

He chose a chandelier from the ceiling and climbed up the rope, and the light source followed him, illuminating the entire hall.

The depths of the hall, which had been dark, were now in full view, and there was a small door in the corner, open like a gate, and I don't know what was behind it.

Magellan looked at the small door and climbed down the rope to the floor. It was in the middle of the hall, and a large stone table and the surrounding stone chairs were fixed to the floor, and he stepped on the back of the chair and jumped onto the armrest of the throne in the innermost center of the hall.

It was a difficult process, the angle of the floor was constantly interfering with his sense of balance, and the back of the chair was at right angles to the floor, which was actually diagonal.

Finally, Magellan jumped up, climbed through the frame of the small door, and entered the room behind the small door.

Then he came back with a look of disappointment: "It's the same later." ”

This is bad news, most of the mages can't do what Magellan just did without the aid of magic, and the detour from the water requires the aid of magic, and no one knows how far the mages can hold out.

"It's not the worst-case scenario. Shamir was still calm, he picked a few people from among the mages and asked them to follow Magellan on, while the other mages stayed outside to find a way to get in and out, and slowly advanced.

Everything was arranged, and the mage leader took out a conch from his bosom.

He walked to the water's edge, stood in a line with several mages, and put the conch to his mouth.

The mages began to recite a phrase that was supposed to be a incantation, and Shamir in the middle of them looked like he was blowing a conch, but he didn't hear any sound from the conch.

It took a while for Magellan to see what they were doing.

Ice floes began to appear on the surface of the water, which had taken up half of the hall, and gradually expanded until it covered the entire surface of the water.

The magic's magic continued, and it was a long time before Shamir, blushing, put down the conch. He rubbed his temples and spoke in a somewhat erratic voice: "Let's go." ”

Magellan, along with the countess, followed the mage to the other end of the hall, and the countess's men set up a ladder and allowed them to climb through the small door.

In the small room behind the small door, the mages did not repeat the magic they had just done, only to see a mage take out a handful of shiny powder from his bosom and sprinkle it in the water as he muttered the words, and the water froze as if it were outside.

And just like that, they walked through a few small rooms and into a large hall.

To everyone's surprise that there was no water, they looked down on the hall and found that it was because there was no door on the side below on the sloping floor.

"So what the hell is going on here?" Magellan said again, "the whole church is all hewn out of the cliff face, and these rooms are all whole hollowed-out boulders, if there really is anything to make this place like this, what a terrifying force would it be?"

There was no answer to this question, and Magellan only took advantage of the break to express two sentences of emotion.

"You should ask what happened to the Holy Grail. ”
