Chapter Thirty-Six: By the way, the darkness of the former organization is revealed
The courtier walking next to the lord lit a fire in the palm of his hand, no, no, no, maybe he was not a courtier, but a warlock, or an evil wizard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Unfortunately, when the poppy theater was burned, the people did not see the face under the black hanging hat in their panic, and if they had found that the dark sorcerer of the day was exactly the same as the one who stood by the heir and lit the fire today, they would have fled desperately and never dared to return to the city of Paliva.
A small cluster of fire in the warlock's hand was frighteningly bright, and the orange-yellowish color actually covered the team that was half a block long.
In the firelight, the leader looked solemn, but the freedfolk behind trembled, but the mob in the deep valley city crowded in the middle and at the end of the line, and the alien guards lined up to prevent them from escaping.
With each step, there were cold droplets of water seeping from people's foreheads, and the sound of stepping on stones and water stains under their feet reflected back and forth in the narrow stone wall, expanding several times and penetrating into people's ears, and there was a burst of brightness and darkness in front of them, and nothing could be seen except mottled stone shadows, and everyone cried and mourned, thinking that they had been deceived by the lord and were about to face annihilation.
Odin fiddled with the flames in his hands while looking at the sea of people's spirits with great interest, and also observed the entire passage with human eyesight.
He measured his steps—ten, twenty, thirty...... Eight hundred steps, to the right, to the left, and then to the right......
This is the distance from the Lord's Mansion to Place Saint-Louisette.
He saw a myriad of horrible images flashing in people's minds, monsters with two horns, a horse's face, fish scales, and a deer's tail, sun-dried skulls, and carrion full of worms...... I can't help but feel funny.
And the closer he got to St. Louisette, the faster the young lord's heart beat beside him, and Odin could even hear the sound of red blood rushing through his veins, the beating of his heart about to explode.
So, Odin carefully observed the objects around him—in addition to the constant stone walls, the millipedes crawling around, and the increasingly frequent sound of water droplets, and even the faint sound of water flowing.
Around the stone wall, some ancient imperial Chinese runes gradually began to appear, as well as regular triangles and circular arrays - representing constraints and transmission.
Further on, a whole stone wall carved with ancient characters appeared, a huge eye was carved in the center of the stone wall, and a six-winged monster was depicted around the eye. The sound of the water was heard from behind this stone wall.
These ancient texts, which do not describe any specific events, seem to be more like poems or incantations, but they are very different from the current verses that begin with the praise of the god Osiris.
"The principle of origin begins in the dust, starts in the wind, and ends in the void. ”
"With darkness as the boundary, light as the heart, it can be the world. ”
Texts like these are carved all over the stone wall. Instead of looking or praying in front of the stone wall, Katralson walked straight ahead and thrust the "quenching poison" into the wide, inscribed giant eye.
The stone wall made a muffled sound, like thunder, and then slowly moved to the sides, revealing a narrow passageway.
People move on.
Suddenly, someone let out a scream.
For he felt that the droplets of water had slid down his forehead more slowly, and that the sewage was no longer cold, but sticky and warm—he trembled and wiped it with his hand—only to see that the water had turned red and black, and had a strong fishy smell!
"Blood...... It's ...... blood!" the man screamed.
Only then did people wake up from their fear, feeling a strong smell of blood all around, and at that moment their intestines and stomach were constricted together, and their esophagus contracted violently, and they vomited desperately. They tried to run wildly, but were stopped by the guards and thugs around them and forced to move forward.
Someone looked up tremblingly to see what was dripping blood—not human blood, but so many living people......
All he saw was a bronze pipe, densely carved with runes, like a twisted piebald serpent, running across the top of the stone wall.
The runes and patterns were like the scales of a snake opening slightly—and then blood seeped out from between the scales, condensing into a thick black dirt around the perimeter, and dripping to the ground if the scales could not hold it.
The blood-stained bronze pipes were attached to the top of their heads!
And beneath their feet, it seemed to become more and more viscous, and the thick fishy smell sealed every inch of people's senses, and they were so frightened that they even forgot to shout.
"Ah, I see. In the dead silence, a pleasant tone suddenly sounded.
The very beautiful courtier, as if he had solved some long-perplexing riddle, laughed softly in this terrible and suffocating environment.
"I understand where the power of the Inquisition comes from, and maybe the Sanctuary can't escape the relationship. Oh no, let your beloved lord unravel the mystery. The courtier's paper-white face flickered in the firelight, and his smile was like a human skin cut off and pasted to his face—one wondered if he was an evil ghost that had taken over the human body.
At this time, some of the timid people simply fainted, some staggered and paralyzed to the ground, and others were red-eyed and tried to fight with the people who were holding them back. But no one dared to say anything, for as soon as he opened his mouth, or breathed a little harder, the thick smell of blood poured into his throat and head.
People were almost forcibly escorted by guards or thugs, pushing each other with their backs against their chests and their heads against their shoulders.
Eventually, the road ahead was gone, and the bronze tube overhead had turned into a huge funnel, obscuring people's upward vision, and the black blood and runes around it, like the roots of trees, crawled all over the copper wall. And on the narrow stone wall in front of people's eyes, there is also a huge carved eye.
Carter lifted the "myelin worm" and inserted the tail of the staff into the center of his eye, and a bright light seeped in, making it impossible to open his eyes.
People saw the light, and their tense bodies relaxed with the light, as if they had walked in the underworld and were reborn.
However, the smell of blood did not dissipate.
When they walked into the light and regained their sight, an even more terrifying scene unfolded before them.
In front of them was a pool of blood surrounded by bronze!
The blood in the pool was still warm, and bubbles were tumbling in the spring, indicating that it was connected to the underground pipes, and blood was constantly gushing out of the bronze pipes, exchanging blood with the blood here.
Directly above the pool of blood was a white statue of the god Osiris, and on the dome painted with the stories of the saints, countless chains swayed and babbled, like an aging noose. These chains are covered with white skeletons, some of which are still clinging to flesh, but there are no flies or maggots to visit them.
The strong stench and the incense of the holy candle make for a peculiar disgusting smell.
Sunlight shone in through the glass, dust danced with skeletons and iron cables, the Tyndall effect produced a blurry halo, and pools of blood bubbled up happily.
More fainted in front of the horrific sight, and the new lord, Katralsson, pale, opened his chapped lips and struggled to utter the first words.
"This is the Inquisition. ”
