Chapter 115: The Cause of the Desertification of the Gobi

Ryan said thoughtfully: "Could it be that after they disappeared from the Thundering Continent, they came to this desert and hid in this thousands of miles of yellow sand?"

The phantom pet master Jane replied: "Maybe it should be so, according to the legend passed down from generation to generation by the aborigines of Sand City, it is said that this desert was not such a barren land as it is now, a long, long time ago, although it is not as beautiful as the Thundering Continent, but there are also mountains and lakes, and the pothole area in the middle of the desert is the Lake of St. Os, even now everyone calls it that, right?"

Jili said: "Could it be that the organization of the Gna Church came here at that time and built their palace there?"

Phantom Pet Master Jian nodded and said, "I think so too, and if those Grand Canyons were rivers at that time, they should have been very wide, right? Miss Jane, the phantom pet master, said as she pointed to the map on the wall.

Ryan looked at the map hanging on the wall of the Phantom Pet Master's house and said, "That's true, Jili, just look at the map. And to the south is the sea, so as long as the river bank is strictly guarded, the people on this side will not be able to reach their place at all, and they will be cut off from the other side, and at the same time, they will learn about this organization. ”

Jili said: "But Ryan, I really don't understand, what are they doing this for?"

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "According to my speculation, they are gathering strength and waiting for the day when they are strong enough to fight against humans and demons and establish their own kingdoms." And judging by the fact that they once captured the Temple of Songs and took two fragments of the gods, it must be true. The reason why they didn't openly fight against humans like the demons was because they were not strong enough, or because they were not well prepared, so they would end in defeat like the Valkyrie Helkiri. ”

Jili also got up and walked to the map, looked at the map, and said, "But why hasn't the Guna Church moved for so many years and disappeared like this?"

The phantom pet master said: "It may have something to do with the fact that this place was called the Gobi Desert, and it is said that this place suddenly turned into a desert and was formed almost overnight. ”

"What, overnight?" Jili's surprised look made Miss Jane startled as well, "How is this possible?"

Ryan said: "Jili, don't you do this, you see ———"

Jili immediately apologized to Jane, the phantom pet master, and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Jane, for frightening you. I'm really sorry. ”

Phantom pet master Jian also quickly calmed down and said, "Hehe, it's okay. She calmed down and added, "I don't know if it's true, but the original inhabitants here have the same sayings, and it is said that this is the place that was originally called the Gobi Desert." Miss Jane pointed to the northernmost part of the map, at the plateau wind rock, and she continued, "The geographical location here is much higher than the hidden fog swamp, and the wind at the plateau wind rock is already very strong, and the wind and sand will blow to the southwest. If the water in Lake St. Oos' and rivers suddenly disappeared, it would be easy to turn into a desert. ”

After hearing what the pet master Jane Detana had said, both Gilly and Ryan fell into deep thought, as if they wanted to learn more about the organization and get important information about the Church of Gna.

Ryan put his hand on his hand, propped his chin with his right hand, and thought for a moment, "Indeed, but it may be a bit exaggerated to become a desert overnight, I think it's a way to describe the rapid desertification here." Because even if all the visible water disappears all at once, the water remaining in the soil still does not disappear or evaporate so quickly. ”

Ji Li said: "Yes, yes, it makes sense. ”

"But the water in Lake St. Ous and the river suddenly disappeared, and it was probably overnight. Ryan said, pointing to the places marked on the map, and added, "That's the point, the underground palace mausoleum of the Pope Gna." If my guess is correct, the Church of Gnar must have been building a mausoleum for the recently deceased Pope, but because the underground river was dug in the underground palace and the underground river that led the Gobi to the underground river that flowed into the sea, it is not difficult to explain that the water in Lake St. Eus and the river suddenly disappeared. ”

"It's not Count Lane, it's true, according to the people of the Seventh Legion who came back alive, they did find an underground river in the tomb of Pope Gna. But that's all unknown to no one else, except me. Tut-tut!" she said, gesturing with her index finger to show off something to Ryan and Geely.

Ryan said, "Miss Jane, I hope you can tell us relevant information and help us. ”

Phantom Pet Master Jane smiled and said, "Of course, hehe." I learned about it using a special possessed phantom beast to hear from an officer of the Silver Cross about the Seventh Legion, which the military had been reluctant to reveal. When Bran, the commander of the Seventh Legion of the Silver Cross Expeditionary Force, learned that the site discovered by the two adventurers was the place where the Church of Gna lived, he prepared to go out to find out, and the two adventurers who discovered the place led the way. ”

Ryan and Jili sat back in their seats and listened carefully to Miss Jane, the phantom pet. She said: "When they arrived at the ruins of the palace of the Church of Gna, they were amazed to see exactly what the two brave adventurers said, and there were also the ruins of the castle, which showed that it was once a city. However, nothing else has been found except for the ruins, such as inscriptions, maps, memo scrolls, etc., perhaps because the wind and sand of the desert have worn out for thousands of years. Later, Captain Bran led everyone to the tomb of Pope Gna Vitogood, because no one had found anything left by the Church of Gna before, so Captain Bran thought that the people of the Church of Gna had taken these away, but there should be some left in the mausoleum, because after all, it was the place where their Pope rested. ”

Jili nodded, "It should be." And then what?"

The Phantom Pet Master Jian continued: "After everyone decided to enter this mausoleum, they pried open the tomb door and entered one after another, it is said that it is completely like a large palace inside, so they wondered if the people of the Gna Church would live here in hiding, and after searching in the first mausoleum to no avail, they decided to go down to the second floor, because they found a staircase leading to the next floor in the hall in the middle of the mausoleum. Soon after everyone entered the second level, something terrible happened. ”

Ryan couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on?"

Phantom Pet Master Jane said slowly: "Captain Bran began to attack his own subordinates who entered this mausoleum with him like a demon, and in an instant the soldiers around him were all killed by him, and then he turned to other mausoleum rooms and attacked other subordinates. In the end, most of them, including the two brave adventurers who had come to show them the way, died in the mausoleum, and I learned from one of the officers of the Silver Cross Army using the possessed phantom beast that anyone who was killed by Captain Bran quickly became the same as him, and became the survivor of the demon-possessed attack. ”
