Chapter 139: The Second Level (Part II)

After teasing each other in a few sentences, Xia Dry Grass and White Quartz finally reined in their minds and began to seriously explore their own environment.

The dilapidated church in which they now live is evidently in decay - the benches, candlesticks, and even the idols for worship have accumulated a thick layer of ash, but the Prunella and the Grass can still imagine the sacredness and beauty of this place in the past from the area they occupy and the remains of the objects displayed inside, but unfortunately neither of them is a religious person, nor has a trace of religious belief or reverence, so it is difficult to have that sense of regret - In this regard, perhaps Su Hexiang is the most suitable prospector here.

- Although Bai Quartz's knowledge of religion is far superior to the former.

Xia Wither raised his hand and wiped his face—the aftermath of the churning dust made his face itch slightly, and then he saw the 'spotless' white quartz, which was standing at a very distance looking at him with a disgusted expression, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"Hey...... There is a limit to being lazy......"

"Of course there's a limit - the lobby is finished?"

"Well, it's a pity......" Prunella pointed to her cat-like face, indicating that nothing else had been gained.

"Yes - this is the place where the believers come and go most closely, that is, the public area, so it is the most difficult to leave clues. ”

Summer withered grass looked at him expressionlessly.

Bai Quartz snorted, and then said with a shy face: "But there are exceptions to everything—but more often than not." So...... Let's go to the backyard and have a look. ”

Xia Kucao had no choice but to keep up - he didn't suggest that the two of them disperse - although that was an effective way to curb Bai Quartz's laziness, but now Xia Kucao has gone nine points of ability, that is, he can't even wash his face with some water, how dare he be as lazy as the other party, and compared to the uninhibited conversation and laughter of his friends next to him, Xia Kucao is still confused at this moment.

"I said, although I proposed to gather intelligence, but ...... What the hell should we pay attention to?" Xia Dry Grass, who was following behind Bai Quartz, muttered: "After all, this is still a judgment arena, but compared to the previous level, the goal is clear, why is this second level so clueless, and there is not even a hint?"

"Because it's probably not the second level. Bai Quartz stepped out of the front hall, stepped into the garden connected to the backyard, stood up straight for a moment and swept his gaze in all directions, while saying non-stop: "A few people and a few passes, this is the original text on the tablet will not be wrong, but our understanding may be wrong." ”

Xia Kucao lowered her head and thought about it, then shook her head and said, "I don't know what's wrong. ”

"I don't know what's wrong - but you can't deny the difference. Bai Quartz stretched out his hand to pick a leaf beside him, kneaded it a few times, and said, "Look at the scenery of this garden, and then think about the previous level—after all, except for the stone platform and the cage that imprisoned us, the rest of the previous level is just a mirage." ”

"But now—the rest of the men have not returned, which means that their quest has not yet reached the bottom, that they have not reached the border, that they have not even encountered any enemy, and as for us, the dust and rotten wood that fly in the front hall are incomparably real, and that such a vast space supplemented by reality is far from being comparable to that of Shangguan. ”

"So if this is only the second level, it's hard for me to imagine that the next three, four, five, or six will be something that ordinary people like us can handle, and you must know that this is a judgment arena but not a slaughterhouse, so there is no reason to arrange some scenes that we will never be able to handle. ”

"In addition to that, I also have the word 'ruling' in mind. Bai Quartz's eyes were slightly confused, and he quietly spoke after a moment of silence: "The verdict is the verdict, I don't know who designed this place, and I don't know how much ability and mind those designers can have, and we who want to adjudicate the entrance with just a few levels, but since this is called the verdict, it is likely that the actions we do in each level will affect something else, so the few people on the stele should have some other meanings, rather than simply asking us to pass them one by one." ”

Xia Kucao felt and thought about it when he heard this, but he couldn't think of a reason after all, so he was inevitably a little at a loss, and Bai Quartz looked at him beside him with a puzzled expression, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Fortunately, there is that mysterious person outside-you say his name is Ao Dongling? He seems to feel good about you? So as long as we follow him closely, with his strength, there is no need to worry about anything." ”

"And I haven't forgotten what you said until you swore revenge. Bai Quartz's eyes narrowed, and the lazy meaning was still full, but there was a different kind of strong confidence hidden in it, and he said with a smile: "Is it the sentence 'the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge'? ”

"It's a bit of a job...... though."

As soon as the words fell, Bai Quartz stepped again and stepped into the backyard first.

......

......

"Tsk, there's a catch. ”

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, Bai Quartz was already on his feet, squinting his eyes and saying this.

Prunella didn't say anything to ask, because even a discerning person could see what was more on the ground in front of him.

This backyard, which is much smaller in size than the front nave of the church, is scattered with weapons and armor, among which the weapons are not for the time being - although cold weapons have been improved from time to time since ancient times, they have always been the same as swords, guns, swords, halberds, and non-professional appraisers cannot find too many problems in them, but the armor is different - especially the Holy See armed forces to which religion belongs, in order to promote the faith, Religious leaders always put a lot of effort into the armor of their own armed organization to attract followers, so when Prunella and White Quartz saw the patterns and coats of arms scattered on the ground, which were incompatible with the aesthetics of this era and even of the human race, they realized that the area in which they live today may not be known to history.

So in the next second, Xia Kucao immediately turned his head to look at his friend beside him - he didn't know much about this world, so he knew that his conclusion was extremely pale, but Bai Quartz was a blue-blooded nobleman, and he joined a mysterious organization, so he must have some understanding of the various forces on the mainland.

Unfortunately, he was also at a loss.

Bai Quartz cautiously stepped forward, first took out a pair of gloves from his arms and put them on, then squatted down to pick up a lost nail leaf and checked it up and down.

"Do you remember when I said that those attackers weren't human?" White Quartz set the armor aside, then gestured to another relatively intact breastplate at his side—which depicted a human-like creature with oddly shaped bone plates and horns on top of its skull.

The other party was roaring in the sky, and his arms, which were thicker than humans, held a tomahawk that was incomparably sharp and heavy just by looking at it.

The problem is that, in addition to these slightly different details from humans, the main character in this pattern also has wings on his back - but one of them is blurred for some reason, and looks like an angel with folded wings or only one wing.

――If the other person's expression was not so hideous.

"That's it?"

"Nope. White Quartz replied, "But they also have wings—a wing." ”
