Section 17 Murals

The dim light of the candles in the chamber wasn't enough to illuminate the entire roof of the cave, so even if Alicia squinted her eyes, she couldn't look closely at what she found on the roof of the cave. www.biquge.info So she simply got up, walked to the corner, picked up a candle, and held it above her head.

At this moment, everyone in the secret room could see the contents of the cave clearly.

It was a huge mural carved into the stone wall!

The frescoes covered the entire roof of the cave, but no one had noticed it because it was above everyone's heads and hidden in the shadows.

The mural is divided into several parts, like a long scroll.

A black disc is drawn on the position of the sky, and when you look closely, it seems to resemble the sun after a solar eclipse. On the ground are kneeling people in worship, their faces reminiscent of pilgrims.

Worshippers line up in long queues, and beside them stand one humanoid statue after another, just like the petrified people in Peramo Village.

The statue is crawling with vicious snakes with fierce eyes, spitting snake letters, and raising their heads high one by one.

On closer inspection, it seems that all the people kneeling on the ground are women, and only men are petrified.

Seeing this, Alicia suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and she could basically confirm that this mural was absolutely related to the events in the village. But the mural looks like it's been here for quite some time, and who carved it and when?

Alicia felt a parchment in her throat and swallowed a mouthful of saliva as she continued to move the candle to reveal the rest of the mural.

All the worshippers, all the petrified eyes, and all the heads of the snakes, they all went in one direction.

There, it was a woman with a naked upper body, or rather, only her upper body could be called a woman.

The lower half of her body is the tail of a snake, and the scales of the snake are clearly visible on it.

Her hair is made up of moving raw snakes, densely packed, like the image of a gorgon.

In the painting, she stands up to the sky and the earth, huge like a god, and accepts the admiration of all peoples.

After seeing the mural, Alicia couldn't calm down for a long time, and she couldn't help but feel that this incident might touch on something exaggerated and difficult to explain. Her eyes drifted to the altar-like place in the corner, and she thought to herself, maybe this place was really an altar set up to worship the snake-haired woman with the snake tail in the painting.

"It's hard to believe that this could be an otherworldly book. ”

The familiar term came out of Kylloa's mouth, and it reached everyone's ears, and Alicia couldn't help but look at him at once, and asked:

"A book of otherworldliness, like the one we saw in Fermoran that contains information about the Corpse King?"

"That's right. Books of another world are not necessarily preserved and described in the form of books. There are many carved on the stone wall like this. Kylloa said as he looked at the roof of the cave.

"Are you sure it's that? The last time we found this thing, it was a big guy who ran out. Daron asked, reflecting on his experience in Fairmoreland, with some trepidation.

"It's pretty much certain, because there's something written in ancient script next to this painting, you see. Kyeloa reached overhead, just enough to touch the stone wall. He wiped the end of the mural, revealing a large amount of ancient writing hidden under the dust.

"Since it is an ancient text, it means that the age of this painting is indeed a bit far away. Speaking of Kyeloa, can you read ancient characters?" Alicia looked at for a while, only to find that the words were nothing more than a ghost to her.

"I've been doing research for a while. Kylloa raised his head and read the meaning of the ancient words to the crowd, "King of the Serpent and the Eye, Medusa." ”

Alicia suddenly felt what seemed to be a gust of wind blowing in the windless chamber, and she looked at the candle and saw that the flame was not flickering, so it was obvious that it was just her own hallucination.

"Medusa's magic eye can petrify everything. She hated all men, because men only knew how to covet beauty, but they regarded her as a monster with snake-haired hair. So she often wrapped her hair in a turban, walked through the streets, and used her overly beautiful face to confuse men, and then put them to death. She punished too many evil men, so she gained the faith of many women who had been abused and violently abused by men, and was reborn as a god. The sacrifice of 100 men, the moment the light is consumed, the king of the monoculus will awaken. ”

Kyeloa silently read all the ancient texts, then fell silent with everyone.

Like a thread that strung all the beads together, in Alicia's mind, everything was connected.

There is no doubt that the same events are happening in the village of Peramo as in the town of Fermoran. And the reason why only men in the village are petrified is probably because of the reasons described in the Book of Otherworlds. The two suspicious men in black who appeared in the village were undoubtedly the initiators of these two incidents.

Alicia felt more and more uneasy, because while they were trapped here, the machinations of the men in black had not stopped.

"There's no time for any more time in a place like this, Darron, can we get out?" asked Alicia, with some eagerness.

"I've thoroughly investigated, and there are no secret passages to get out of this secret room. And we are in a cave now, and we don't know exactly where we are in the mountain, so we can't rush to destroy the surrounding stone walls, otherwise we may bury ourselves alive. Daron replied.

"I can help. "If you want to know where we are in the mountain right now, you just need to probe the magic of the land properties." ”

"I'll just come here, teacher, save some magic. A melodious loli voice echoed in the secret room.

Kyeloa looked at his disciple, nodded, and gave her a little bit of a trick.

In fact, this spell will not cost Kyllloa much of his mana, but he also understands that he still has to let Merus do what she can, otherwise she will find less and less of a sense of belonging in this team.

Melufa stepped forward, took a deep breath, and attached her hand to the wall.

Although the earth attribute is not an attribute that she is good at, a small probing magic is something that any magic apprentice will have. If this kind of thing still bothers her teacher, wouldn't she be too redundant in this team?

Mei Lufa touched the wall and closed her eyes, everyone thought that she was going to feel for a while and planned to wait quietly, but Mei Lufa suddenly opened her eyes again, and his expression was very surprised.

Then, under the puzzled gaze of everyone, she put her whole face against the wall, and the big eyes on the bridge of her nose were squeezed to the side, almost falling off her face.

"This ...... It's really a new magic move. Zazacha suddenly felt that he didn't know what to say.

"Shhhh The others finally understood what she had discovered, so they cooperated and quieted down.

There were many snake shadows outside the ice shield, and those shadow snakes squirmed desperately in order to squeeze into this secret room. Through the thick layer of ice of the ice shield, the shadows could still be seen moving around. The sound of them rubbing against the ice was quiet, but now that the chamber was suddenly quiet, the snakes outside could be heard wriggling and neighing.

However, what Mei Lufa wanted to listen to was obviously not such a voice. He pressed his ear to the stone wall and closed his eyes to listen.

"Water...... It's the sound of the water!"

It was about a centimeter before the candle burned before Melova finally heard the voice that caught her attention.

"Water, you say?!" Daron asked, surprised, as he hurried to Merufa's side.

"Yes, it's in this position. Melova nodded in conviction, then relinquished her seat to Daron and indicated a place for him with her hand. So Daron also learned from Meluva to attach her ears to the wall, leaning against the spot where Meluva had pointed.

In a hurry to confirm, Daron spread his legs and hugged his arms against the wall, but Melus was short and the position of the hearing was relatively low, so the current posture of Daron seemed ......

"Hey, are you a gecko?" Alicia's merciless words accurately described Darron's current appearance.

Daron ignored her, listened intently to the sound in the wall, and soon he stood up, with a look of great excitement on his face.

"It's the sound of the water! Merusa, you're amazing!" Daron almost felt the urge to pick Meluva up.

The water that flows in this mountain is inevitably groundwater. This directly illustrates two problems: first, water is constantly flowing, which means that it must have a source that leads to the outside world, because it is only from the outside that water can be continuously stored. Second, there must be a certain space for the place where the groundwater can flow, so it is possible to open the wall between the wall and that space!"

"Now it's just a matter of measuring the thickness of the stone wall and the spatial structure behind it, Kyeloa!" Daron was overjoyed, for he saw hope of escape.

"I guess Merus Ronnie can't wait to do you a favor, right?" said Kyeloa, naturally.

For a long time, everyone was used to relying on Kylloa, but they forgot that Merus was also a magician. Hearing the teacher's summons, Mei Lufa walked directly to the stone wall, and began to measure with magic without saying a word.

Alicia looked at Melufa's side face, and although the latter had a serious expression at the moment, Alicia felt that she was actually laughing, and she was laughing happily.
