Chapter 50: The Hall of Sacrifice
The sacrificial area is very different from the other three areas, with a white pointed arch at the entrance, which is completely embedded in the silt of the lake bottom.
Heavy stone doors open outwards to reveal an intricately embossed inner wall, and the ceiling is a semicircular arch structure with a row of white candles hanging from the inside out.
They stepped inside the door and walked slowly and cautiously. Every ten feet to the left and right, there are a pair of slender bundle columns, supporting vaults, combined with the bright candlelight, there is a light and strange sense of flying.
The three of them were not hindered in any way, and the crisp footsteps echoed in a staggered manner, lingering in their ears. The delicate relief walls reflect a cold glow, and the high walls cast dark shadows on the stone slabs, and the entire sacrificial area is immersed in a strong religious atmosphere.
"It's not an ordinary god......
Nicole strode forward, browsing the murals on the left and right out of the corner of her eye, and had to admit that the designer of this sacrificial area had profound attainments.
A few people walked through the spacious but deserted corridor unimpeded, pushed open another heavy stone door, and the bottom of the door rubbed against the floor, making a tooth-aching sound.
Bang! The doorway closed automatically behind them.
The field of view widened suddenly, and the circular vaults above the seven pairs of white pillar pillars stretched out in all directions. The sudden expanse of space, combined with the structure of the hall, gives the illusion of majesty that extends infinitely.
Clark walked to the center of the hall, looked around, and saw eight statues of women in black robes with lamps in their left hands, distributed on the edges, just in a circle, and said, "This is probably the so-called sacrificial area." ”
Nicole wrinkled her nose and scurried to remove the lamp from one of the sculptures' hands, sniffed it, and threw it to the ground.
The lamp snapped into two, and the yellow grease overflowed the tail port, emitting a faint fishy smell.
"It's the grease of Vam. The female knight tilted her head in disgust, and now the black knight was lying on the ground, as if carefully examining the inscriptions on the floor.
"What are you looking at?" she leaned over curiously.
"I have a little impression of these things. Yalei held his chin in a daze, and his right hand slid over a stone slab, pointing to the strange character above:
"This character should mean convergence!"
He stood up, his eyes shooting around, and suddenly pointed to a stone slab behind several people: "This is a pure character." ”
"This block is supposed to be a transformation...... This piece is extraction, this piece is exchange, this piece is ...... It's sublimation!"
An arc of electricity flashed in Yalei's mind, and he grabbed a random beam pillar, and climbed to the dome in a few vertical leaps, looking down:
I saw that the stone slabs on the ground were interlocking, forming a huge diamond-shaped array, and the position of the eight sculptures was the center of the array.
"Sacrifice exchange...... It's a black magic array out of nothing!" he shouted down.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! At this moment, all the lamps of the seven sculptures were lit, and a huge pillar of fire burst into the dome. Directly opposite the entrance to the corridor, that is, in front of the hall, the viewing platform in the shape of a cross sinks gently.
Instead, a figure wearing a leather mask and wearing a black robe with intricate and sumptuous runes depicting intricate and ornate runes ascended, holding a gold-encrusted glass in his hand.
Slap, slap, slap......
"It's really a gorgeous move that echoes the identity of the god stick. Nicole clapped sarcastically.
The man didn't respond, turned to the black knight, and as soon as he spoke, he could hear Raul's voice: "I didn't expect that among the knight's apprentices, there are still people who can understand the principles of black magic, I really surprised me." ”
Yalei raised his eyebrows and took a step forward: "It's just a little involved, but you can't compare to you, you can actually use evil magic to trick so many villagers into selling their lives." ”
"How can it be said that it is evil magic!" Raul stood up suddenly, the cup in his hand was faintly shaking with red liquid, and his other hand pressed his chest violently:
"Just study hard, rely on it, mortals can also use spells!
"Every drop of mana in black magic costs lives. Clark said with a solemn face, and from the cup in the other party's hand, he felt a huge amount of mana.
"So what!" the man scoffed at his words, his eyes turned to the cup in his hand, "I have dreamed of becoming a mage since I was very young, even if it is the worst and crappier mage, I just want to be a mage......"
Speaking of this, he paused, suddenly clenched his right fist, his eyes slowly turned red, gritted his teeth and continued: "I worked hard day and night, and I still spent more than ten hours meditating every day after finishing heavy labor in the mine. But, no matter what, I can't condense even a little bit of mana. They say it's called no talent......"
"I'm talented!" Raul's voice became sharp and high-pitched: "No matter how complex the runes, I read them once and wait to memorize them, no matter how obscure the spells, I can pronounce them a few more times." Why...... Why can't I condense a little mana!?When I learned about the existence of black magic, the joy I felt in my heart cannot be described in words...... So, I don't care what method I use, as long as I can use spells, a few Vam lives are nothing. ”
Seeing that he seemed to sink into the paranoid memory that could not be extricated, the three Nicole were silent, slowly approaching, and as long as they got a few feet closer, they could be captured in one fell swoop.
"Stop!" the man shouted, holding up the cup in his hand, "if you don't want this thing to explode!"
A large number of bubbles bubbled out of the liquid in the cup, faintly revealing a high concentration of mana fluctuations, such a weight, once the explosion was enough to evaporate the water of the lake, they had to passively stop their pace.
Seeing this, Raul's body trembled: "I should have known, how could you understand me, how could a natural person like you understand me!"
"There is no one among us. Nicole raised her pretty face and said word by word: "And you, you just chose the wrong direction." ”
"Who knows......" He suddenly calmed down and looked at the female knight, "Since you have been able to get here, you know a lot of things compared to you." ”
"Including what you did twenty years ago. Nicole's eyes wandered, and her mind thought about countermeasures, and she continued, "Since you know that we will come, why don't you choose to run away?"
"This place is the last refuge, where else can I go without this?" Raul's eyes darkened at this moment.
The muscles on the left side of Yalei's face twitched, and he snorted in his nose: "At this time, there is no need to talk about your ridiculous doomsday prophecy, Mr. who uses black magic but claims to be a messenger of God." ”
"It's the apocalypse. The man looked at the black knight indifferently and said lightly, "You can't understand it, this is the difference between a prophet and a layman. ”
Clark's eyes shone with the cold light of a sharp blade, and he said in a deep voice: "The Bible is the final revelation, and Christ is the final savior!"
Although he was not a devout believer, he still instinctively resented the blasphemy of the sacred.
"I have no interest and no obligation to save you. Under the mask, Raul's lips lifted an arrogant smile and threw the cup into the sky: "I pin my hopes and the future, open it, Holy Grail!"
