Chapter Eighty-Nine: Ancient Heritage
Little Fatuna, though occasionally a little confused, was also a smart little girl, and she obviously thought of some of the familiar residents of Silent Town, and vaguely felt something in her heart.
looked at the little girl who hung her head and was silent for a long time.
Loki took out the straight knife that had been hidden in his sleeve.
He handed the hilt of his knife and said, "Remember what I said, little Fatuna, be firm and don't hesitate, this is my gift to you." ”
"This is a tactical straight knife, the tip of the blade can pierce the enemies who threaten you, and the blade can scratch and scare them off, remember when I gave you a few basic movements of short blades?"
Little Fatuna raised her head, and immediately nodded when she heard the words: "I remember, daggers, daggers specialize." ”
"I'm not there when you're scared, and it can protect you. ”
The little girl was in a better mood again and said, "I can also use it to protect Brother Loki......"
Loki smiled and said: "Little girl, I don't need your help, your greatest talent is to hide and stealth, and hiding in the future will not cause trouble, which is the best protection for the two of us." ”
Little Fatuna couldn't put it down and brandished a tactical straight knife, and she didn't know what the little guy was thinking......
......
A little fire flickered, and in the huge dark cavern, only a small area could be reflected.
Although the light was faint, a lot of white bones on both sides of the stone path could be faintly seen, and there was a nervous tremor of a little girl on Loki's back.
Loki was not appeased, it took her own adaptation, and it took a long time for little Fatuna's mood to return to normal.
After passing through the bone stone path, the two arrived at the platform under the huge stone statue, and it was here that something was triggered, which led to the wide underwater corridor and formed a passable passageway.
Seeing the stone statue of the snake-headed human body dozens of meters high, he couldn't help but stop, little Fatuna's head rested on his shoulder, and when he saw this majestic and terrifying demon god statue, his little mouth was also wide open.
This half-elf little girl has lived in a dark cave for so many years, and she has also developed a little night vision, although it is not as good as Loki's image optimization, but it can also be blurred to see a rough idea.
Carefully wading through the white bones on the platform, there were a bunch of text symbols engraved under the giant stone statue, most of which he was familiar with most of the common words, but there were some differences, which should be variants of some common languages.
"The Serpent King, Styx, is in charge of the River Styx, his guards guard the souls of the dead in boats, and His gifts bring the dead back to life......"
"Praise Shill Stisten, He is the only true God, His gift, bring your loved ones back from the dead, praise Sylbastin......"
"Give your life and He will grant you eternal ......"
Clearly recorded above are the praise and prayers of some fanatical believers, which sound more like the will of some cult, more extreme and less realistic.
There is no sign of life in the surrounding area except for white bones and stone walls, let alone the immortality of any cult believers.
Bypassing the bone platform, there is a wide stone path behind it, and at the end is a three-story round tower made of stone.
Walking closer, the big wooden door under the round tower building is a little broken and rotten, and there are two shrunken dried corpses next to it, this cave lacks microbial corrosion and decomposition, and I don't know how long the dried corpses have been dead, compared to the age of those white bones.
Little Fatuna had seen the Silent Town monsters many times, but these two terrifying corpses made her feel that they were more terrifying than the hundreds of skulls.
The little half-elf girl hid behind Loki and suddenly felt much safer.
Loki looked closer and found that the cause of death of the two dried corpses should have been pierced by a wooden staff, and the terrifying and distorted faces of the dried corpses obviously encountered something terrible before they died.
Although the years have passed, Loki can't help but be more cautious, he let the little girl pull the corner of his clothes, and follow him every inch.
There was no danger in the stone tower, it was not very large, and there were not many rooms, so the exploration was completed quickly.
But most of the inside has been destroyed, all kinds of furniture items, crystal glassware, wooden shelves have been destroyed, and even some human bones, most of which have traces of fire and acid and alkali corrosion.
The surrounding walls are still painted with some large and intricate strange patterns, but most of them have been destroyed and cannot be recognized as they were.
But the most eye-catching thing is that there are many huge skeletons of different shapes, looking at the density of the bones and the fierce outline, it is obvious that they are some kind of Warcraft.
Loki's initial guess was that the stone tower could be some kind of witch dwelling, and the rooms were somewhat like simple laboratories.
Fatuna Jr. was less frightened and began to help Loki, picking up some unburned remnants of notes or broken books on the ground.
Loki wasn't going to let go of this last clue, there might be some words in it that would give him the answer to the Silent Town and a chance to leave this hellish place.
"Brother Loki, look at this, what is this ......"
Little Fatuna pointed to a broken transparent sphere on the ground, and said strangely, under the faint firelight, the tea-black transparent sphere seemed to flicker a little green light.
Loki walked over and carefully picked up the citrine sphere, the green glimmer suddenly vanished, turning back into the shape of a broken brown crystal ball.
There's no danger, I don't know what this weird thing is for.
Little Fatuna was also curious, and touched her little hand, but what she didn't expect was that the citrine ball suddenly emitted a corrugated strong green light, and the light almost made people's vision distort.
'Wow, la' cracks appeared in the broken citrine balls.
There was a 'bang', and then the citrine ball burst open, turning into a cloud of scattered powder.
Little Fatuna wiped a handful of dust from her little face and muttered, "It's, it's broken, I'm sorry Brother Loki, I broke it." ”
Loki, of course, didn't blame the little girl, shook his head and said that it was nothing, and that he would just look for other clues.
For a few hours, two figures, one large and one small, hurriedly searched all the things with words in the stone tower, and really found some things worth looking at.
"Mystery Lock Experiment Log", "Plants and Monsters - Illustrated Chapter", "Diary of Kaldor's Apprentice", "Common Sense of Simple Potion Preparation"
In addition, there are more than a dozen sturdy parchment booklets that have not been burned, and they are all rubbings of information that are not lingua franca, but those unknown symbols and characters on the stone walls of the outer caves.
Wizards? Is it all about witches?
The torches brought were about to run out, and there were no other clues worth paying attention to in the stone tower, so Loki carefully stuffed everything that was written into the package, and the two figures, one large and one small, prepared to return the same way.
This huge cavern space lacks other life, it seems a little dead and silent, and I don't know how many years it has existed, and the piles of humanoid bones always make people feel a little eerie.
Loki carried little Fatuna on his back, and the two walked through the incredible underwater corridor, without any twists and turns, all the way back to the previous upper cavern.
