Chapter 158: The Lost Castle (13)
Not only are there no portraits in the White Tower Castle, but there is not even a single oil painting, which is absolutely abnormal. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although there are thousands of different planes, as far as Aluca is concerned, the customs of each plane are not much different from those of the Overworld. There's nothing to say about this, even the language of each plane is St. Ainos, how much difference can there be?
That is to say...... This is not a castle of the nobility. "Then what can it be? Civilians are not allowed to build castles, it is a capital offense." And it's not easy to be the entrance to a special plane here......"
Dalton said, "I do know that there is a kind of castle that can be built without nobles. ”
"Oh?" said Aruka, and what else I don't know, you little kid knows?
Dalton also thought of this, and you are not as good as me at times, so he said proudly: "Near our hometown, there was a group of cultists who built a castle as a stronghold to confront Wang ****. Wang **** thought that it would take a lot of money to build the castle, and there was no benefit, so he left it alone, and only asked us civilians not to contact the cultists, otherwise we would be beheaded for public display. ”
"Anyway, the court doesn't care about things, and the common people are unlucky. Aluca sarcastically said, "Forget it, don't talk about state affairs." If this is the castle of the cultists, then the evil god they worship may no longer be there. In this way, there is a reason why the Old Gods would attack this castle. I said that how could a great god who could easily ignite a second-class god come to attack a mortal's castle, it turned out that there was an opponent in the castle. The ancient gods and the evil gods, this is black eating black, why is it too anxious to fry each other. ”
Dalton didn't know what the evil god was, but Aluka knew it. For example, if you propagate the White Religion in the South, then you are a cultist. Whoever cares what the god of light is, you preach in the territory of the sun god that you are an evil god. Of course, this is the definition of the human world, not the definition of the gods among themselves. The gods who can live in the divine realm are all good gods, and the ancient gods are the real evil gods. But no one can say whether it is good or evil, and the God of Light has blessed the Imperial army and let it burn and loot in the Duchy of Gay, can He be said to be a good god? In the eyes of the Imperial people, it is not, but not in the eyes of the southerners. In Aluca's view, there is no absolute good or evil in the world, only different positions.
Knowing that this was a cultist's castle, Aluka became more interested in the castle, and there was no telling how many good things there were in the castle dedicated to the gods.
After getting Aluca's permission, Dalton reached out and pushed open the right door of the compartment, and then found that the left door and the right door actually led to a place - the prayer hall. The prayer hall was at least ten times the size of a partition, with a dirty, faded red wool carpet in the center, flanked by a dozen ruined benches. At the end of the red carpet there are three steps on which a wooden altar is placed.
The prayer hall is well lit because the wall directly opposite is made of a piece of parquet glass. There is also a technology to make parquet glass on the continent of St. Ainos, which is expensive and complicated, and only the great nobles and royal craftsmen can do it. Similar to standard weapons and armor, it is a felony for civilians to purchase and use glass. The sunlight through the parquet glass was dappled and dim, but much brighter than the partition hall, enough to see. It can be seen that there are several candlesticks on the wooden altar, covered with cobwebs, and dust covers the altar like snow, making the altar look like a cocoon. The whole prayer hall was filled with the smell of dead silence and corruption, as if it had experienced the end of the world.
Dalton signaled that there was no danger, and Aluca followed him into the compartment, acting quite cautiously, keeping his body in a straight line with the right door, and if there was danger, he could flash back into the compartment as soon as he turned around. If he is far away from the right door, his flashes can only be used in the prayer hall.
Could there be no danger in the prayer hall? If not, the white-haired Sinong would not have to stand guard at the door. As soon as Aluka entered the prayer hall, the candlesticks on the altar suddenly burst into flames. By the candlelight, Aluka noticed a basin of water in front of the altar. The water flew up from the iron basin, drew a parabola and fell to the ground, gradually condensing the skirt, the tail of the skirt, the thin waist, and the upper body...... Finally, a woman appears kneeling in front of the altar. She wore a blue and white lady's long dress, with an extremely high waist and an extremely long skirt, which dragged on the ground like a blooming moon. The woman, like the white-haired Xinon, had long hair like snow and did not make any movements.
Vigilantly placing his hand on the corpse, Aluka noticed that the woman was holding an oak-colored staff in her right hand, indicating that the woman was capable of fighting. The strength of the white-haired Xinong can only be a gatekeeper for this woman, and this woman's combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Knowing the depth of the enemy, Aluka was a little weak-hearted, and looked at Dalton to exchange some opinions, but saw Dalton standing by the door with his hands hanging on his waist, not moving. If it wasn't for Dalton's sudden convulsion in his head, or for Dalton seeing that the enemy was too strong and deciding to disguise himself as an ordinary set of armor, Aluka had to sigh secretly that it was really close to Zhu Zhichi...... He didn't admit that it was the black who was close to ink.
While Aruka was scratching her heart and thinking about what to do, the white-haired witch suddenly stood up and turned her head to look at Aruka quietly. Aluca's pupils shrank, he knew this woman, and the little oriental beauty Li Anran was also. However, the white-haired Li Anran in front of him not only has white hair, but his pupils are also white, as if he is blind. But Aluca has a feeling that Li Anran can see himself.
Seeing Li Anran, Aluka basically confirmed his previous guess. The appearance of the white-haired Xinon and the white-haired Li Anran in the same place shows that there is indeed a previous universe, and in that universe, Xinong still met Li Anran and came to the White Tower Castle, which is a reincarnation. It's just that Aluka still can't figure it out, if this is reincarnation, when Xinon and Li Anran came to Baita Castle, one was a god-blood knight and the other was a mortal, how could they live so long after the destruction of the universe? There are many possibilities, such as the white-haired Xinon and Li Anran gaining some kind of power in this castle......
Li Anran opened his mouth, interrupting Aluca's thinking: "I don't know how many years I haven't seen anyone......" The tone of these words is like a deep resentful woman, and the content is like an old goblin who has not eaten human flesh for five hundred years, which means that she is trapped in this room and can't get out, because there is someone outside the door, but she hasn't seen it.
Aluka replied directly: "Are you Li Anran?"
The white-haired Li Anran must not know Aluca, and a normal person must be suspicious when he hears a stranger call out his name. But Li Anran was indeed safe enough, his miserable white eyes were ancient, as if he hadn't heard what Aluka had said at all. The silence in the prayer hall lasted for a few minutes before Li Anran spoke again: "I don't know you. ”
Aluka wiped a cold sweat and squeezed out a smile. It's good to be able to communicate, and I'm most afraid of an enemy who can only use his hands and can't move his mouth, he is not a martial artist, and he has no hobby of challenging the strong: "I'm your childhood friend, I haven't seen you for many years, and it's normal that you don't remember." Eighteen changes in women's colleges, and six or seven changes in men's colleges. ”
Li Anran nodded and said, "I see......"
Compared with the amnesiac white-haired Xinong, Li Anran has lost his normal ability to think, and Arouca has tried to figure this out. The Mukden Empire may not be without Westerners, but Li Anran has definitely never seen Westerners, as can be known from her performance when she first met Xinong, not to mention that she can have a Westerner as a playmate. But Li Anran didn't question it at all, and Aluca suspected that she might have forgotten many things, even where she came from.
