Chapter Forty-Eight: Secret
After Desir sent Xu Luo and the others to the platform at the top of the peak, he rode away on a griffin, and Xu Luo didn't continue to talk to him, but Desir's strange attitude was already hinting at something to him, but as the cardinal archbishop of the Red Dragon Church, Desir took too much risk by doing this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
From the sky, the area of this peak is not large, but when Xu Luo really arrived here, he found that there was actually a cave, at least Xu Luo could see a lot of passages leading directly to the underground, presumably those children who received knight training here lived here, and the entire platform was only one building on the surface of the mountain, but I don't know what the inside of this mountain was dug into by the people of the Red Dragon Church. Of course, as the most honorable Red Dragon Lord in the entire empire, his residence was naturally in the elaborate stone building on the platform.
Xu Luo and Hilde and another deputy leader of the Wind Mercenary Regiment waited outside the door of this building for a while, while the church knight informed the red dragon, Xu Luo still looked at this small building with interest, according to his impression, the dragon should be synonymous with greed, but the building in front of him is exquisite Although it is exquisite, but it is all made of the stone on this mountain, it is really not luxurious, and even a little simple, you know, even if it is the seemingly simple lair of the black dragon, the door where he stores the treasure is also the most expensive Karazan alloy, and the name of this alloy Xu Luo is also the first time to hear of it, but at that time, Deyol knew that this Karazan alloy was worth a lot of money.
But Xu Luo didn't think about it for long, the red dragon summoned them, looking at Hilde and the other deputy head with a solemn expression, Xu Luo couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, but I don't know why, Xu Luo suddenly remembered the possessed Scott, maybe the ancients were once as pious as Hilde, but what about the final ending?
The stone house is not big, about three hundred square meters, entering the house from the wooden gate, Xu Luo felt as if he had passed through another world, but looking back, outside the slowly closed door, it was still that scenery, Xu Luo could only forget the strange feeling just now, but when he carefully observed the situation in the stone house, he was surprised to find that the whole stone house was actually like a big warehouse, there were no compartments, you could see the end from the beginning, in the innermost part of the stone house, a huge, oh, no, it should be a huge platform, piled with all kinds of books and papers, a young man in a red robe sat there with a frown, carefully opened the books on the table, and took notes from time to time, but when he saw Xu Luo and the others, there was still a smile on his face.
"Xu Luo, Heard, Chris, you three find a chair and sit down, and we will talk slowly. When Xu Luo heard the young man's words, he looked at the empty house with some helplessness, except for a large table and a chair on the side of the red dragon, there were no tables and chairs for them to sit on.
The young man looked at Xu Luo and the others motionless, then patted his head and said with a smile:
"I forgot to add a chair. With that, the young man snapped his fingers on his right hand, and immediately three wooden chairs appeared out of thin air, and they happened to be behind them. When Heard and Chris saw this scene, their faces were a little pious and Xu Luo couldn't stand it, but they were afraid that if the red dragon stretched out his claws, these two people would lick it, he really didn't understand what the so-called religious belief was.
"Xu Luo, what do you want to say about this Hilde and Chris?" The young man must be the Red Dragon, obviously he wanted Xu Luo to finish the previous things first, send the two people of the Wind Wandering Mercenary Group, and then ask himself some questions.
"Scott, the former leader of the Wind Mercenary Regiment, unfortunately died in battle while we were encircling and suppressing the sea monster, which is the result of our report to you, but in fact, Scott was not killed by the sea monster, but possessed by the souls of the ancient people there. As soon as Xu Luo opened his mouth, he said the matter, and when Heard Xu Luo's words, Heard and Chris, both of them stood up very disgracedly, but Lord Red Dragon did not show any questioning expression, but said:
"Scott should be dead, forcibly occupied by the ancients, it is really unlucky, it is estimated that he was seriously injured at that time, with his heyday state, it is impossible for an ancient person to be able to seize his body, but it is really because he was strong in his heyday, so he was chosen by the ancients, this matter I will let the people in the church investigate, live to see people, dead to see corpses. Lord Red Dragon's explanation is obviously more professional, Xu Luo really doesn't know much about the ancient people's research on the soul, no wonder that the ancient man would look for Scott, it can only be said that it is fate.
"Please give us the task of finding Captain Scott to our Wind Mercenary Regiment, we will definitely find Captain Scott as soon as possible!" Hilde and Chris heard that Red Dragon was going to investigate the matter, and immediately knelt on one knee and begged Red Dragon to give them this task, Red Dragon thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, but only gave the Wind Mercenary Group three months, and if no trace of Scott could be found within three months, then the Knights of the Church would be dispatched, and then it would be life and death.
Xu Luo listened to the words of the red dragon, it seemed that the red dragon thought that Scott was not dead, or that the soul of the person who occupied Scott was not dead, and he couldn't help but feel very strange, he had already clearly felt the weakness of that soul at that time, like burning charcoal, hot but fragile, maybe it would be strong in strength, but the life span would definitely not exceed a month.
The red dragon asked Hilde and Chris to leave, go back to prepare for the mission, the entire wind mercenary group has to carry out the assessment of the second transfer of professions, and also carry out the supply of related materials, a lot of things need to be busy with them, three months is very urgent, Hilde and Chris did not dare to delay, and immediately left the stone house.
"Are you very confused about the affairs of the ancients?" The red dragon looked at Xu Luo, who was silent, and seemed to understand what Xu Luo was thinking.
"Indeed, why did you want to destroy the ancients?" Xu Luo held back this question for a long time, although he had some guesses, but after all, thousands of years had passed since that incident, and now the only person who can know the clues of the matter is the red dragon himself, and it seems very unrealistic to find the descendants of the ancients to understand these things.
"Because the ancients had a plan, they wanted all people to be able to exist in this world in a soul state. The red dragon squinted his eyes and slowly recalled the events of the year.
It was an era of magic and vindictiveness, and countless talented ancients created the glorious ancient civilization at that time, but even so, the ancients still couldn't break through the boundaries of life and death, and countless geniuses were taken away by the years, and I don't know what kind of madman he was, and he actually came up with such a plan, wanting to make all the ancient people immortal and find the true meaning of this world.
