Chapter Forty-Eight: Inside the Stone Wall

"Is there a side door? Are you mistaken?" said Lukka a few minutes later, coming under the high wall on the north side of the temple and looking at the blue and white wall that didn't even have a single brick seam. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I won't be mistaken, although the building is much finer than the technology I had at the time, it hasn't changed much overall, and it should be around here. As he spoke, Daniel put his hand on the blue marble and stroked it centimeter by centimeter.

After a few minutes, his movements suddenly stopped: "Here!"

Lukka took two steps forward, almost touching his nose to the surface of the stone wall, and it took a long time to find a gap next to Daniel's right hand that was thinner than a hair's hair.

Daniel's hand slid along the western line against the stone wall, outlining the shape of a door along the gap. It's just that there is no lock or handle on this door, and it looks completely difficult to get started.

"Is there any mechanism that you can't open?" Lukka asked.

Daniel shook his head: "There is no mechanism, the handle is on the inside of the door, it can't be opened from the outside, or how can it be said to be a secret door?"

"Are you kidding me......" Lukka suddenly felt that Daniel, who seemed to be upright, was very much like a relative in some things as Shut Up.

"Wait for me for a minute. Daniel ignored Luca's helplessness and took a step back, and his entire body instantly became transparent, returning to the ghost form of coming and going freely.

He wasn't used to being in this form during the day, and in fact, he wouldn't have been able to stay that way in the sun without his strong enough strength. Not only does the ghost form look like a cloud of gas, but under the sun, most of the lower souls will indeed be vaporized like water.

Even a powerful soul like Daniel, who had been wandering for more than four hundred years, would feel a serious injury when exposed to the two o'clock afternoon daylight. So it took him less than two seconds to pass through the stone door and transform into a physical entity again.

With a "click", the lock on the inside of the stone door made a crisp sound, and then slowly opened to the size that could be entered by one person.

Lukka quickly dodged sideways, he was now wearing a black coat decorated with gold thread, which was quite conspicuous in front of the blue and white stone wall, and if a patrol or a sea knight happened to pass by, it would be obvious from a few dozen meters away.

The condition inside the door was much better than the outside, probably because there was no way for the door to be broken through from the outside, and there were no guards here.

Once inside, you can see the towering minaret. Lukka and Daniel were located in a passage between the north wall of the minaret and the outer wall of the castle, and the shadow of the tower cast down to obscure the figures of the two men, at least much less likely to be found.

Daniel's form isn't great, though.

"Are you alright?" Lukka asked worriedly, looking at the ghost, who was still emitting wisps of white smoke, "Would you like to pour some water?"

"I'm not a plant! Daniel glared and said, sure enough, after a few minutes, he was at least back to normal in appearance.

Daniel was hurt a little more than expected, but he didn't reveal it to Luca. The trust he had built up over the course of a month wasn't enough for the ghost to reveal all his weaknesses, and certainly not enough for Daniel to take such a risk, but the place was so clearly connected to his long-cherished goal of revenge that he would not let it go even if half of it was wiped out by the sun.

Lukka rubbed against the wall of the spire in the shadows, glanced out, and immediately shrank back.

"There are guards, what should I do?" he asked Daniel, who was clearly the home of the Sea Knights, and it would certainly not be wrong to ask for Daniel's opinion.

Daniel thought for a moment, then turned and pointed to the other side of the passage: "According to the layout of the temple before, this side bypasses the tower and leads to the oracle's resting room, we can try our luck, maybe we can find some hidden clothes to change into." ”

Lukka followed Daniel and made a half-circle from the base of the tower, in front of a huge single-story building, and they happened to be facing a window in the wall.

The two men slowly raised their heads under the window and looked in.

With the passage of time, there is still some difference between the temple of the knights of the sea and the temple of the goddess of the sea, there is no such role as an oracle in this temple, but the function of this building has not changed much, it is still a place of rest, but the current name has been changed to "barracks for knight recruits".

The room behind the window is not small, with a dozen or so wooden single beds.

It was afternoon, and all the knightly recruits were either taken to the harbor by the commander to help maintain order, or trained on the grounds south of the Temple, and there was silence in the barracks.

Apart from...... On the two beds against the wall, there was a burst of snoring.

Lukka and Daniel glanced at each other, and the two of them silently climbed over the not-so-high windowsill, one after the other, to the two sleeping beds.

No wonder these two didn't go to duty or training, Luca suddenly realized at a glance. The two recruits sleeping soundly on the bed, one with a thick bandage on his right foot and the other with a splint on his left hand, did not know if they had been injured by someone or during training.

Another glance was exchanged, and Lukka and Daniel acted together, and the two recruits, who were already unwell, were tied up before they could wake up, and their mouths were each stuffed with a ball of rags.

Daniel originally thought that the oracle's wide robes would be an excellent disguise, but what he didn't expect was that hundreds of years had already made the oracle profession disappear in the Sunset Islands.

So at this moment, Daniel and Lukka had no choice but to stare at the armor of the Sea Knight.

It's not that there's anything wrong with that armor, the metal bust of sea blue and silver, combined with the helmet with blue and white feathers, even if it is a recruit's equipment, the whole set of armor is far more exquisite than Ollie's silver heavy armor.

The problem is with the two people who are going to wear the armor.

Lukka picked up a handpiece and weighed it. This armor was really a big burden for his thin body, which was really not strong. Wearing this set of heavy armor, let alone casting spells, it probably takes a lot of effort to speak.

Daniel is disgusted from the bottom of his heart. This suit of armor, from head to toe, every detail, sings of worship and praise to the goddess of the sea, especially those exquisite wave ornaments, which make the former king of this ship song kingdom feel sick for a while.

After hesitating, the two forcibly suppressed the urge to turn around and leave in front of this armor, one was angry, the other was clumsy, and helped each other to complete the full cloth.

Then, there was a "bang".

Lukka lived up to his expectations and fell straight to the ground.
