Under the leadership of Isabella, these people dressed in different black robes walked to the center of the hall under the chandelier, and then Isabella regularly dripped the wax liquid from the candle in her hand to the ground, and soon the originally neat marble floor gradually shone with the light of magic, and then the ground began to open to reveal the black secret passage to the underground.

"If it's a mechanical drive, this secret door is very well done. ”

Lelouch said softly, the door on the floor did not make a sound when it opened, and the secret passage that had been closed before did not show a single crack in the ground.

After the passage was opened, Isabella took the lead and walked in, and the people behind followed her one by one, and through the observation of the walking posture of these people, Lelouch judged that most of the participants in these rituals were over sixty or seventy years old, and some of them, as Buyani said, seemed to act as nimble as young people, but the aura emanating from their bodies gave people a sense of twilight.

It seems that the participants in the black robes with patterns are terrifyingly people who have received the so-called endless life, or who are already qualified to accept this ritual. And the participants who are dressed in simple black robes are only some first-time participants.

The Bloodline Maiden Olifia turned around and bowed slightly to Leluxiu, "Please follow me." ”

After Isabella and the others walked down, Lelouch and the first-time participants walked towards the secret passage under the leadership of their respective guides, and after releasing their spiritual power to the maximum, Lelouch found that this underground secret passage was built in all directions, and it seemed to be quite large in terms of the internal air flow.

Buyani quietly reminded Lelouch that so many magic circles constitute a fairly complete protection system, if it weren't for the fact that Buyani is a crystal dragon is naturally very sensitive to all kinds of magic fluctuations, otherwise this kind of revealed magic fluctuations can almost be said to be a very small magic circle system. Even a high-level mage may not be easy to detect here.

When everyone enters the secret passage, the secret door automatically closes, if it is a person with a phobia of confinement, he will definitely feel panicked in this dark secret passage, and even those who entered with Lelouch who participated in the ritual for the first time appeared a few uncertain, after all, in this case, it is completely at the mercy of others, and if the other party wants to do anything bad in this completely sealed underground, there is no room for resistance at all.

At least this was only for the ordinary nobles and merchants, and Lelouch and Buyani were not at all dismissive. It's just that on the surface, Buyani had to pretend to be scared and hold Lelouch's hand tightly.

As she walked through the passage to a church-like room, Oliphia, who was leading the way, stopped.

Lelouch looked around, according to his own judgment, after walking here for so long, his group was at least fifty or sixty meters underground, this church-like room had a high dome, and the entire main body of the building was made of black rock, except for some magic crystals for lighting and some reliefs on the walls.

"Wait a moment!"

Olifia held a candle in her hand and reached out to the benches in the room, motioning for Lelouch and Buyani to sit down and wait.

Lelouch didn't mind sitting down directly, and the other guests also sat down in their chairs, only at this time Lelouch noticed that the group of people Isabella was carrying seemed to leave through a secret door on the other side of the room. It seems that the celebrant did not intend to allow those who were attending the ceremony for the first time to watch it directly. Lelouch also looked at the mural with interest, trying to get some useful information from it.

As the Bloodmaiden stood by from Olifia with a candle in hand, Lelouch had no choice but to continue to connect with Buyani in a psychic dialogue, while the Crystal Dragon Girl squinted at the various murals carved on the walls around her. In terms of content, it is similar to the court murals in some human palaces, most of them are carvings praising warriors, but each of these murals has a different emblem carved on the top.

Blood-red crowns, withered roses, intersecting scepters and swords, red crescent moons, strange ring symbols, each of which looks very different, but these emblems have a strange feeling, as if they have some special connection to each other.

Buyani didn't see anything for a long time, although the dragon had a lot of experience due to his age. But for the blood clan, which is no less mysterious than the dragon, Buyani only knows a little about it in the literature and materials of her own clan. What Buyani could understand was that the blood clan was divided into many clans like humans, each with its own emblem. As for the special significance of the family represented by these emblems, Buyani had no choice but to apologize to Lelouch.

With Lelouche's gaze, Buyani also looked over, and among the more than a dozen murals, one of the murals gave people a strange feeling, the emblem on it was a sideways portrait of a young girl, but compared to the other mural emblems, all of them were red, and the emblem of the girl's head was purple. It is unique in many emblems.

The mural does not depict a figure or a battle, but a beautiful maiden stands in the center in a praying posture, while many people below are looking up at the maiden as if they are thirsting for salvation and are reaching out to touch the hem of the girl's skirt.

"May I ask a question?" after the doubt, Lelouch directly asked Olifia beside him.

"What's the matter?" said Olifia, who also lowered her voice, and did not call Lelouch by name in order to keep it a secret.

Lelouch pointed to the strange mural, "I'm very interested in that mural. Can you tell me about it?"

With Lelouxiu's gesture, Olifia looked at the mural, and then a strange look flashed in the eyes of the blood girl: "I'm sorry~ It's just a mural for decoration, and it doesn't have any special meaning." ”

"Really?"

Although Oliphia only froze slightly for a second. But both Lelouch and Buyani had already caught the strange look in Olifia's eyes, and it seemed that the mural was not without special significance, but very significant. Immediately, Lelouch carefully observed every detail of the mural and prepared to paint it for Arin to see after the ceremony.

After coming to the other world, Lelouch felt that Yalin was already a jack of all trades, and he was very clear about the various customs and secrets of the other world.

It was at this time. A man in a red robe and a mask walked in through the secret door where Isabella had left earlier.

"Bless everyone!"

The man's voice was hoarse, and it didn't sound like the previous playboy Jefferson's. It's just that this voice contains a strange magic, which makes everyone present inadvertently focus their eyes on him. Lelouch also withdrew his gaze and shifted his attention to the man, and Buyani whispered to Lelouch in a psychic conversation that the man, who was also a blood clan, was also stronger than Isabella and Jefferson. However, it is still a little short of the little Lori Filolai who had a tendency to pull before.

"To be able to come here, you must have made up your mind, you are the creators of wealth, the founders of power, the owners of glory! To be able to get everything you have today, you have spent countless efforts, wandering in tribulations, struggling in intrigues, and yet when you are standing at the pinnacle of life, you are sad to discover. Everything will disappear forever with the passing of life, and the wealth, power, and glory that was once created cannot be enjoyed, and the only thing to do is to leave it to his descendants!"

Every word of the red-robed man pierced people's hearts deeply: "Are you willing to do all this? Are you satisfied? Everything you have obtained after a lot of hard work will be handed over to others before you have time to enjoy the wine of victory, tell me do you really feel that you are satisfied in this life?"

In an instant, the people who participated in the ceremony fell silent, and trivial whispers spread through the room, obviously just like the words of the man in the red robe, many people did not want to give up everything yet, wealth and power are addictive things, and no one wants to let go. No one wants to give it away, even if it's their descendants.

"Human life is short and sad. Humans can't live as long as elves, look at your hands, look at the wrinkled and dull skin on them, no matter how much you deny it or how unwilling you are, but time has gradually passed away from you, even if you want to squander it now but your body allows?"

Like a missionary, the man said: "Delicious food cannot be swallowed, mellow wine brings only pain, tarnished eyes cannot see the most beautiful scenery in the world, weak bodies, even the most beautiful women in the world, naked, naked before your eyes." Are you still hugging her like you used to? You can't do anything, maybe in a decade or so you'll just lie dying in bed and watch yourself die, and you can't do anything. ”

I have to say that these words touched the thoughts of many people, especially those who are really old, and everything they have worked hard for all their lives will be lost before they have time to enjoy it. This is absolutely unwillingness for anyone.

Lelouch felt that many people's hearts had been shaken, even if the red-robed man was obviously bewitched, but it was completely bewitched into people's hearts, no one would think that his life was too long, let alone these big businessmen and nobles who had great wealth and rights to enjoy all the supreme gifts in the world.

"┉┉You are not reconciled, you still want to continue to enjoy, so you have made a choice to want endless life, eager to get rid of the old and weak body and get new life!"

The red-robed man opened his hand and shouted like a fanatic. (To be continued......)
