Compared to the cemetery, which is dilapidated but still magnificent, the four tombs look much shabby. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The target of the Info Aluca group is the tomb in the southeast corner, which is a square stone house with no gate and a rudimentary altar of the sun god in front of the altar with a wooden movable door.

Apparently, the coffins of Trehak's ancestors were placed in the cellar under the movable door. As for whether it was his father or grandfather in the coffin...... Cui Hak didn't mention it, and Aluka and the others didn't ask. Judging by the attitude that Trihak has shown so far, he is quite contemptuous of his bloodline. A strong person who is extremely capable of his own is forced to bear the influence of a certain bloodline, whether the impact is good or bad, he will not be in a good mood. In Aluca, we believe that life is a castle of choices...... Or the slums, and the only thing that cannot be chosen is who gives birth to themselves.

The strong are keen to take control of their own lives, while the weak prefer to hypnotize themselves into believing that sometimes there is no choice. But in fact, there is a choice at all times, and when the weak seem to have no choice, the strong will choose to fight. Let's say you have a piece of pizza filled with venom and a foul-smelling pile of feces in front of you, and someone holds a gun to your head and asks you to eat one. Do you choose to die with dignity, or do you want to live with on the ground?

No matter how you choose, you are not affected by fear, and you are the one who chooses with your own ideas. Whether it's or pizza, the key is the motivation for the choice.

Following the stone steps under the movable door, the group stepped into the dark and damp cellar. It is impossible to hire someone to clean the grave of the king's illegitimate son, unless one is hired to destroy the other. So not only is there dust flying all over the place, but there are also broken cobwebs blocking the way from time to time, the rotten and sour smell in the air stimulates everyone's sense of smell, and there are occasionally a few scrawny rats scurrying at their feet. Compared to their own kind living in villages, their living conditions are really pitiful.

It's better to use this kind of tomb and bury it in a random place...... Aluuca was in her heart. However, he knew that it was impossible, and the nobles of this world valued the cemetery, believing that after their death, they would ascend to the kingdom of God and continue to fight for the gods they believed in. According to the major religions, once the bones are destroyed, the soul will also die.

As for the devout beliefs of the people of the Saint-Ainos Continent, Aluka was completely incomprehensible, because he had never seen a record of the apparent holiness of God in the book, and there was no sign of the existence of supernatural forces in this world...... Except among the mythological epics. Whether it's magic, superpowers, magic, or elves and orcs that are common in the magical world, they don't exist. As for mythology, Aluka didn't believe in any religion in his previous life, and he certainly doesn't believe in mythology now. A neutral evil like him will always believe only in unequivocal evidence, or rather, in himself.

In other words, the god of the sun, the god of war, the god of light, and many strange beliefs on the continent of St. Ainos only exist in the epics handed down from antiquity. Since the names are all epic, it is naturally a thing used by bards to make money. Even in the texts transcribed by the clergy of the Red Sect, there is no record of the gods blessing their people, but only exaggerated language to describe the boundless power of the sun god. So why do people believe in the gods? In Aluca's view, there is only one explanation, and that is that it is all emotional...... Such as fear and the hope of the world of the dead. Even on Earth, religious clergy can easily recount the blessings of a few gods. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is better to give believers a thought.

If it is really like what is said in the epic, there was an era of gods and demons, and there were devils, gods, and magic that destroyed the world in that era...... Where are they now? Why haven't there been any traces of such a powerful force? Can dinosaurs still leave fossils for future generations to study?

Therefore, Aluka prefers to believe that those mythological epics are essentially similar to "Journey to the West...... There may be gods such as the sun god, but they are just some powerful warlords who proclaim themselves gods after dominating one side, similar to the ancient Chinese emperors who proclaimed themselves the sons of heaven.

However, this idea changed soon after.

After stepping up the long stone steps, the group came to the cellar. It's about the same as the tomb, and the cellar is quite shabby, shabby, and there is no aristocratic style at all. There are a few candlesticks thrown in the corner, as if they were casually thrown aside after the coffin was brought in, and there is a coffin in the center, which looks ordinary, similar to the one used by the villagers of Baicao Village when they were buried. That's all there is to it in the cellar.

Master Henry put the torch he brought in to the wall, turned his head to face Aluca and the others, his old face was illuminated by the fire, which was quite mysterious and indescribable. He spoke, "Now, I can tell you what the mission is about. ”

Xinong and Jofa were both shocked, their faces solemn, and they were ready to listen to the task of the National Teacher. Arouca leaned lazily against the wall and said, "Master Guoshi, what do you mean...... Even if we want to run away now after listening to the mission, there is no way to escape. ”

Henry raised his eyebrows and replied flatly: "In fact, if I can't complete the mission and return to the royal city within a month, all of you will be wanted by His Majesty the King, including Cui Hak. Moreover, His Majesty the King will reveal the identity of Choi Hak so that the Red Sect will also join the ranks of you who are wanted. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cui Hack was immediately furious, and Jofa was even more frightened. However, with the identity of a few mercenaries, there is really no resistance. If the Rhine Kingdom ruthlessly pursues and kills a person, then this person will die, and there will be no chance to fall into the grass. As Henry's national teacher, it is possible for the king of the Rhine to dispatch an entire order of knights to arrest the murderer. So they can only work hard to complete the task, and they have to protect Henry's national teacher, otherwise it will be in vain to complete the task.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and sinister, and at this time Aruka spoke again, and he said to the teacher and senior brother arrogantly: "Do you hear, untouchables, I advise you to get acquainted, complete the task for me honestly, and protect my noble body, otherwise the Sun God will not be able to save you!"

Jophat said weakly, "Brother, why do you seem to have become a henchman of the King of the Rhine?"

Aluka smiled and said, "Didn't I speak my mind for the National Teacher, right, National Teacher?"

Ignoring Aluca's teasing, Henry looked at him deeply. The national teacher remembers that when Trevac killed Sir Bright, Aluka also jumped out and pretended to be stupid, telling an inappropriate joke, which eased the atmosphere of the murder at that time. Immediately afterwards, Henry lightly slapped the coffin behind him. After a rumbling sound, the coffin stepped back on its own, revealing a path hidden underneath. When you look at the angle, it looks like you are going deeper underground.

Cogs...... Chain...... Organ...... Aluca became interested in the road. According to his research, there are not many similar mechanical devices on the continent of St. Ainos, at least non-existent. Even the watermill was only allowed to be built by churches and rented to the common people. The major sects and royal families have well hidden some key knowledge, and the only books that commoners can buy are history books and novels. They can only know that precision machinery exists, but they will never know how to make one.

"Now, I can tell you what the mission is. But before I do that, I would like to tell you a few secrets that only the nobles of the royal city can know, and help you understand the significance of this mission. Of course, if this secret leaks out of your mouth, it will still be a capital crime. Master Henry glanced at the path leading to the underground with satisfaction, and then said to the people of Aluca, "A few months ago, the White Sect of the Hill Empire claimed that they had discovered from the texts that the status of the God of Light in the divine realm was much higher than that of other gods, and that other sects should revere the God of Light as the supreme god. Aldington III gladly accepted and first sent an envoy to our country, asking our king to agree to include the Kingdom of the Rhine, as well as the Thirteen Southern Duchies, into the territory of the Hill Empire as a vassal state, and to make the White Religion the state religion...... Of course, our king would not agree to such a request. Half a month later, the Hill Empire declared war on our country. ”

Senior Brother Xinon was surprised and said, "But we have not received any news, and the merchants from the north have not mentioned where the war has occurred. These merchants have sensitive noses, and they can smell the slightest breeze. ”

Aluka continued: "It seems that the Hill Empire is bound to win this time, which is why it has been preparing for so long. Presumably, the border has been blocked, and the army is being mobilized. ”

Henry looked at Aluka with admiration, and then said, "That's right, the Hill Empire doesn't plan to make a fuss this time. They mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops in a long time, and wanted to defeat the thirteen southern principalities in one fell swoop with the force of thunder, and ...... Maybe there was a grand duke who had surrendered to the enemy a long time ago, and he was waiting for the army of the Hill Empire to attack and surrender the whole country. As much as I hate to admit it, in recent years, the majesty of the Rhine royal family has lost what it used to be, and it is difficult to control so many principalities. If it weren't for the remnants of the Red Sect, I'm afraid it would ......"

Puzzled, Aluka asked, "But I still don't understand, what does this have to do with our mission?"

"Do you think that with the strength of the Thirteen Duchy of the South and the Rhine Kingdom, you can resist the attack of the Hill Empire?" asked Henry.

Since the Hill Empire can be called an empire, it is naturally much more powerful than other countries on the continent. Both the equipment, quality and numbers of the army are far stronger than average. The White Sect, which believes in the God of Light, is the first sect in the St. Ainos Continent, and the main legion of the White Sect, the Bright Crusader, is invincible, not only fearless of death, but also every soldier is superior in force. Thinking of this, Aluka only shook his head slightly.

"That's why His Majesty the King sent me here. Master Henry's face suddenly turned sad, and his expression was now similar to that of Sir Bright before, like a fanatical believer about to be martyred, "We are the last hope of the Rhine Kingdom. ”

Aluka said embarrassedly: "Isn't it a bit ...... for a kingdom to pin its hopes on a few mercenaries and an old man?"

National Master Henry pointed to the path behind him and said, "Our mission is to go deep into the ground, find a relic of the Red Sect, and take out an infinitely powerful magic scroll from the ruins. If the legend is true, the power of this magic scroll is enough to withstand an army of 100,000. The reason why this mission was to hide from the Red Sect was because the Red Sect Pope had the will to surrender. Hmph, the Hill Empire's hand is not bad, their envoy deliberately mentioned that the White Sect allows other sects to continue to exist, as long as you are willing to worship the God of Light as the supreme god, you can preach as much as you want, and at the same time, it will not force the believers to convert. In this way, the Red Pope was naturally unwilling to expend his own strength to save the Rhine Kingdom. Moreover, the Red Sect did not know that this relic existed, and it was the power left by the Sun God for his direct bloodline. ”

"Wait...... Wait a minute!" Aruka's mouth closed in surprise, "You mean...... There's a relic left by the Red Sect here, and there's a magic scroll hidden in the ruins?! I thought magic was just a legend!"

National Master Henry was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Aluca, until now, we can only believe that it is true. Otherwise...... There are some things in this world, whether they succeed or not, whether they are true or not, we have to do them. And you better expect the legend to be true, for your life is at stake. ”
